Chapter 108 Want to build a Shenzhou to visit Xianshan

Princess Yuzhen narrowed her phoenix eyes slightly.

If Ye Chang asked her to propose to Li Longji to promote this item, Princess Yuzhen would immediately refuse.

Although she was deeply favored by Li Longji, she was self-aware and there was no problem in recommending talents to Li Longji. However, if she interfered with specific government affairs, she would inevitably be regarded as the second princess Taiping, and then favor would become fear.

But Ye Chang proposed to try planting in her first and second fields. His caution made Princess Yuzhen change her mind. She glanced at Ye Chang again. This young man was so elegant and it was indeed wrong to compare Wang Wei with him at the beginning.

He has many more things than Wang Wei, such as self-confidence.

It’s not about confidence in one’s own talent—Wang Wei also has this confidence, but about Ye Chang, Princess Yuzhen felt a sense of confidence that seemed to be able to see the future.

This kind of confidence seems to have only been seen in that extremely powerful woman, and this memory definitely makes Princess Yuzhen uncomfortable.

Wu Zetian, Wu Zetian at her peak, had this kind of confidence.

Princess Yuzhen's wind eyes suddenly widened, looking at Ye Chang with sharp anger. But immediately, she burst into laughter.

It’s still different from my grandmother’s confidence, and it doesn’t have that kind of sharp domineering aura.

Ye Chang didn't know that in such a short time, Princess Yuzhen had so many complicated thoughts in her mind. He waited quietly, and then heard Princess Yuzhen say, "What does this have to do with that barbarian girl?"

"Asking the barbarian to offer his seeds, and at the same time, he sent someone to Zhongyuan to teach the art of planting."

The Tang Dynasty had no resistance to accepting advanced foreign technologies. On the contrary, the court actively promoted these things and was optimistic about their success. Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty Li Shimin sent envoys to Moji in the 21st year of Zhenguan to learn how to make sugar, which allowed the Tang Dynasty's sugar-making technology to break through.

Princess Yuzhen nodded slightly: "Then, how could those barbarians easily offer their treasures?"

"This Yuexiong, survival and demise are only in the evening. If there is no protection of the Tang Dynasty, it will be merged by Nanzhao. Just restrain Nanzhao slightly, you can make him grateful. Moreover, Nanzhao's dominance seems to be unfavorable to the interests of our Tang Dynasty in the south..."

"Preference?" Princess Yu Zhen was a little surprised when she heard Ye Chang hang the interests directly on her mouth.

Ye Chang realized that he had let go.

Although this is not an era when corrupt scholars are rampant, a gentleman uses righteousness to describe villains to represent profits. If he directly expresses his interests, he will still be despised.

But it was difficult to swallow what he said, and Ye Chang had no intention of concealing it. He just continued calmly: "It is the interests of my Tang Dynasty. People should give me a lecture notes, and countries should give me a lecture notes."

"You have to fight with those Confucian scholars for this matter, just like your punctuation." Princess Yuzhen did not listen to him and continued to explain: "It's just that what kind of Sui form is beneficial to the Tang Dynasty now, but you have no consideration."

"Um?"

"Tufan invaded one after another, and the Tang Dynasty was preparing to fight a decisive battle with it." Princess Yuzhen said: "The Tang Dynasty needed Nanzhao to restrain Tufan from the southeast, and if a person could not threaten Tufan, it would be useless to the Tang Dynasty. As for the white cloth, Nanzhao was ordered to offer it, and it was not expected that Nanzhao would not dare not offer it."

Ye Chang was silent and said after a while: "I'm afraid of raising a tiger to cause trouble."

"It's just a problem with tinea scabies. Jiannan's journey is enough to suppress Nanzhao." Princess Yuzhen was a little surprised: "Don't you advise the Nanman little lady?"

In this way, Wang Jin's hostility towards him can also be explained: this guy wants to seize control of the ball market.

Under Ye Chang's burning gaze, Princess Yuzhen felt a little embarrassed. Wang Wei's brotherly love had to help Wang Jin talk about it, while she was unforgettable and had to do this trick.

"This matter was indeed proposed by Wang Xiaqing, but it was also my intention." She said slowly: "When the old emperor was there, he built a palace for me and my sister Jinxian, which caused criticism from the ministers. Now that I want to build a palace for the king's house, Sanlang must do it in the treasury, but I am afraid that the ministers will inevitably give advice and attack. If I can raise money and food for myself, build a palace for the palace, and do not move the national treasury and achieve its good things, it will be considered a merit." Ye Chang laughed. One is for Wang Jin's greed, and the other is for Yu Zhen nonsense. There is also the third meaning, because of these people's short-sightedness and stupidity. Yu Zhen is to build a palace for two or three years, and the income from two or three years of football matches will be used for the palace for the palace, and the time after that will be useless - this wishful thinking is a hit.

But who is Wang Jin? He is from the Wang family in Taiyuan. He has literary talent and has no lack of mind. But this refers to his mind as an official and is really capable of hosting new things like good football matches?

Ye Chang could almost imagine that Wang Jin had no ability to open source, and what he could do was to reduce expenses, that is, to reduce the expenditure on the development of the football game, such as training children's football skills, building regular courts, and then moving this part to welcome Yuzhen.

This can be effective in a short period of time, but in the long run, it is to dig the foundation of the league.

"Wang Xiaqing has a good idea." Ye Chang said slowly: "I don't have any objection. He, Wang Xiaqing, doesn't know, but the mage knows that I have no profit in the market."

Yuzhen felt a little apologized. She did know about this. After a little pondering, she felt that she still had to reveal some details to Ye Chang, so that she could assure Ye Chang's heart.

"After all, Jia Maoer and others are the ones you found by Shiyilang. Although Shiyilang has no interest in his question, I have to take care of their interests for Shiyilang's sake." Yu Zhen pondered for a moment: "Don't think that only Wang Jin is staring at this part, and relying on Jia Maoer, he will not be able to defend them after all."

"There is something in the mage's words, please help me solve my doubts."

"Wang Xiaqing is just a lobbyist who came forward, but there is actually someone else... Shiyilang has been in Chang'an for a little time. I wonder if Shiyilang has heard of Wang Yuanbao?"

Ye Chang was stunned for a moment, then moved: "It turned out to be him?"

He didn't stay in Chang'an City for long, but the name of Wang Yuanbao is well-known, and almost every day someone mentions it in his ears. Praise a person's wealth, and says "the family wealth is like the king's yuanbao", and says someone's adventure, and says "like Yuanbao meets the God of Wealth". This Wang Yuanbao is the richest man in Chang'an City, and the word "rich is comparable to a country" is almost designed for him.

According to folk rumors, even Sanlang Li Longji also heard that he was rich and asked about his property. He was quite proud and said that his wealth could be replaced with silk, so that he could tie all the trees in Zhongnan Mountain Xin to some more.

"Unexpectedly, Wang Yuanbao also fell in love with this little business." Ye Chang said in a silence.

"He originally intended to form another league, but he was afraid of me and Twenty-nine Niang, so he asked Wang Xiaqing to be a lobbyist." Princess Yuzhen revealed some information again.

He was only afraid of Yu Zhen and Chong Niang, but not the other interests in the football market. This only proves one problem. Wang Yuanbao has opened up the joints in the temples and Taoist temples in Jingzhao and the capital.

Thinking of what Yu Zhen said just now, Ye Chang couldn't help asking again: "Where is that Maoer's subordinate?"

"Although Jia Maoer is the host and his brothers are also loyal, sixteen of the twenty-four managers below are willing to seek other goals."

In other words, Wang Yuanbao has dug out most of the football league management talents in Chang'an City without any hesitation. Jia Maoer probably heard some news, so he asked Ye Chang for his response.

Although he didn't value the football league very much, Ye Chang still felt a little heavy in his heart.

This is the characteristic at this time. The sword-pickers work hard and finally find a way out for wealth. Then tigers and wolves flock to drive away the sword-pickers and they come to monopolize their interests.

This collusion between tiger, wolf, officials and merchants will even eat the sword-breaker without even leaving any bones.

Therefore, Ye Chang had to make friends with powerful people, otherwise he would not have the slightest ability to protect himself.

If it weren't for the relationship with Princess Yuzhen and others, his paper and printing houses would have encountered the same fate. The same is true for him to borrow Princess Yuzhen's farm to try to grow cotton - if it wasn't the princess' land, the Danguan would not allow him to plant new crops.

"I am willing to persuade Jia Maoer and others not only to give up the right to operate the league, but also to leave Chang'an." After pondering for a long time, Ye Chang raised three fingers: "However, Wang Yuanbao wants to operate the league, and it is not OK to pay any price."

"You said, I will take it for you." After hearing Ye Chang's agreement, Princess Yuzhen was also happy and agreed with pleasure.

Anyway, it was Wang Yuanbao who paid the price, not her.

"First, Jia Maoer and others completely withdrew from the league's operations. Their equity is counted as 50,000 jin, and Wang Yuanbao must pay it in one go."

Fifty thousand guan exchange for an industry with an annual income of more than 100,000 yuan is really cheap. Princess Yuzhen shook her head without hesitation: "Too little, eighty thousand guan, Jia Maoer and others 50,000 yuan, and Ziyilang, you have 30,000 yuan!"

"I have tens of thousands of guans, and the remaining 20,000 guan is considered to be a congratulations to the monks." Ye Chang certainly would not refuse this, he was just in need of money.

"That's it, what's the second?"

"I want to build a ship to Penglai, and ask the wizard to find convenience for me."

In the Tang Dynasty, there are many taboos in private shipbuilding, so Ye Chang has only set up a shipbuilding workshop in Wuzhi, hosted by Cui Xiujing. He has invested more than a thousand tents in this year to cultivate shipbuilding talents. If Yu Zhen comes forward and the government opens a convenient door, then he can expand the scale and recruit craftsmen.

"This matter is easy. Shiyilang really went to find Penglai Fairy Mountain?"

"I do have this heart." Ye Chang said calmly.

The motivation for the arrival of the Great Age of Discovery in Europe was the pursuit of money and wealth by the kings, princes and wealthy businessmen. The princes and nobles of the Tang Dynasty were not tempted by seeking money overseas, but were extremely enthusiastic about seeking immortals overseas. Ye Chang laid this foreshadowing at this time to set off his own Great Age of Discovery belonging to China in the future.

"Is there anything else?"
