Chapter 111 Borrowing the King's Golden Wrong Sword
When Wang Yuanbao was still called Wang Ergou, he was thin and withered, like a rotten tree. But when he had been a man of more than twenty years, he had already become round and like a white steamed bun.
He is a cautious person. Over the years, he has spent his best efforts and money on charity and making friends with scholars, in order to earn a reputation for himself and also find some useful backers at critical moments.
For example, after Wang Jin became a family member, he joined the Wang family in Taiyuan, and became the same clan with Wang Wei and Wang Jin. Since the two sides made friends, the money he spent on Wang Jin was not even 1,000 guan.
It is precisely because of his caution that even if he is sure to win, he keeps his eye on several shops such as Liulizhai in Xishi.
"Jia Maoer... brings someone to meet Hu Yuanxiang?" After hearing the news, Wang Yuanbao stroked his long beard and narrowed his eyes with a smile.
"Why did they get together?" someone in front of him said in surprise.
It is Wang Jin.
Almost after Ye Chang left, Wang Jin left Princess Yuzhen's other career. Although he also hoped to have more relationships with Princess Yuzhen in the South Mountains, the huge benefits of the football market made him, a lazy person, diligent.
"But it's okay to get together. The mage has said that it only takes 150,000 guan to hand over the market to us. Mr. Wang, from Ye Chang and other market scoundrels, you can earn 100,000 guan a year. When you and me, you will have to earn at least 200,000 guan a year, right?"
Wang Jin didn't care about Jia Maoer, so he turned the topic back to what they were talking about. The price quoted by Princess Yuzhen was actually 100,000 yuan, but Wang Jin did not hesitate to add 50,000 yuan to this basis - the additional 50,000 yuan would certainly not be given to Ye Chang or Jia Maoer, it would be put into his private pocket.
When Wang Jin thought of these 50,000 jin, he felt excited.
"Mr. Lang doesn't know that this market competition is also related to the football market."
"oh?"
"The so-called east is valuable and rich in the west is the market. The half-year competition is also held in the west. If I host the market, I will move the competition to the east. Therefore, I must beat the west in the city..."
In a total game, the audience often attracts tens of thousands. The consumption of these tens of thousands of people at least half a day is a huge profit for the West City or the East City. In the eyes of wealthy merchants like Wang Yuanbao, they are more interested in the joint effects behind this.
"In addition, Jingzhao Yin's cement production is limited. Apart from paving the streets and supplying the powerful, there is only a small amount for us to sell. The West Market is only used in part of the Xinjie area, but the East Market is not at all... The city competition won this time, and Jingzhao Mansion promised to give priority to our East Market for cement in the second half of the year."
Wang Jin sneered.
He has also heard of this incident, but the reason why Jingzhao Prefecture only supplies Xishi City but not East City is that when cement was first introduced, the east city was waiting and watching, but he did not dare to cooperate with Jingzhao Prefecture like Xishi City.
He was not concerned about cement, like salt and iron, it was a monopoly of the imperial court. Even if the profits were huge, he would not be able to get involved in a short period of time.
Wang Yuanbao knew that the power of cement was not only because paving roads was much lower than stone slabs, but he thought more.
What would happen if cement and bricks were used to build a house or even a city wall?
What's more, the new thing cement has also helped the West Market attract many foreign merchants and bring more popularity.
"So, in this competition, our western market must win. We can only win. If we win, we will make a big profit. If we lose, we will be afraid that we will spend hundreds of thousands of coins." When Wang Yuanbao mentioned hundreds of thousands of coins, he couldn't help but feel a little painful.
There are many rumors about his family property. His most famous business is Liulixing, which is also his foundation, but he actually also has involved in hotels, groceries, real estate, and farms. These are the big part of his income. Even so, the annual income of his entire industry is only more than 100,000 yuan.
"Aren't you going to win? It is reported that even the little ladies in Pingkangfang have been determined by you... You are very capable, and thousands of young ladies in Pingkangfang can even make up for it."
There are tens of thousands of young ladies in Pingkangfang, but there are definitely hundreds of them. Wang Yuanbao smiled slightly, and naturally he did not move everyone, but as long as he moved the top ones, he would make some noise. Those young ladies earned food in Pingkangfang. Even if they didn't give him face, they would be afraid of being banned by their peers.
But after a smile, his brows frowned again.
If he can be as successful as him, he will naturally pay attention to the details. He stared at the guy who came to inform the situation: "Did that person say who else can meet Jia Maoer and Hu Yuanxiang?"
"Our people can only look from afar, only knowing that they are a young man, but they don't know who they are."
"Young man?" Wang Jin's face suddenly sank. He thought for a while and then said, "It must be Ye Chang!"
Thinking of Ye Chang's humiliation to him in front of Princess Yuzhen, a cold light flashed in his eyes: "It seems that Xishi is in a hurry to seek medical treatment, so he has found Ye Chang..."
Having said that, he was slightly stunned.
He still knows Ye Chang very well and knows what he dreams of immortals. It is said that the immortals that Ye Chang dreams of was Sun Simiao, the Medicine King, who also worked as a elixir boy for Sun Yao King for one day.
One day in heaven, one year in the world, Ye Chang followed the Medicine King, and might become a famous doctor.
Like Wang Wei, Wang Jin believed in Buddhism. The best thing was to build temples and donate. It was precisely because of this that he believed in the retribution of cause and effect, and suddenly remembered this incident, which made him feel that this was not a good sign.
"Amitabha, Amitabha." After silently reciting a few Buddha's names in his heart, Wang Jin decided to help Wang Yuanbao!
"Ye Chang, Ye Shiyilang? If it were him, it would be bad!" Wang Jin was about to make up his mind when he heard Wang Yuanbao slap his legs and scream.
Seeing Wang Jin looking over dissatisfiedly, Wang Yuanbao continued: "I often see Ye Chang's actions, and I am definitely not like Hu Yuanxiang. Hu Yuanxiang has been fighting with me for twenty years, but I just survived, but Ye Chang... is not easy to deal with!"
"No matter how difficult it is to deal with it, you have to deal with it!" Wang Jin said dissatisfiedly: "What are you afraid of!"
"The three key points of the city competition are Cailou. Ye Shiyi can do football plays and make cement. It is said that he can also divert water from the rainbow channel in his hometown... He must be good at creating fun. Originally, I hired the best carpenter and bought the most beautiful silk. This Cailou must win, but now it is afraid it will be dangerous."
After hearing what he said, Wang Jin stopped talking.
"There is the actor and singer... Ye Shiyiya is good at poetry, and the sunset is infinitely beautiful, even I often love to listen to people singing. If he composes a new song for the actors in Xishi, on the song..."
"You don't have to worry about the song. I'll ask my brother to write poems for you." Wang Jin waved his hand: "Besides, the song needs to be sung. As long as the top girl in Pingkangfang has not been pulled by the West Market, we will win this level, and the most important thing now is the last level. After all, this competition is your Liulizhen. I" The final victory or defeat, or is it a glass object - are you sure you will win?"
"I am very sure of this. In the past ten years, almost all the best glass objects in Zibozhou are in my hands. I know in my heart what they have, and I will never be able to show what can compete with me!"
Hearing that Wang Yuanbao had such a treasure in his hand, Wang Jin felt covetous and felt: "I wonder if I can let someone see it?"
Wang Yuanbao glanced at him and sneered secretly.
This wolf who is not full, dares to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddha's name, but he is more greedy than anyone else!
Thinking of this in his heart, he was so kind to say: "It's not impossible. After the market competition, I will ask Wang Langjun to have fun."
Wang Jin laughed dryly, feeling anxious, so he turned the topic back.
"The three key points of the city competition are on the Cailou. We only need to compete for victory. In terms of talent, we are determined to win. As long as we can win one of these two events, plus the treasure in your hand, you can be said to be sure to win. Not to mention talent, I will persuade my brother to write new poems. As for Cailou, I think Wang Zhangren will not have a backup plan."
When he said this, Wang Jin whispered to the person who reported the news.
Wang Yuanbao laughed and nodded slightly.
Since he bribed the people around Hu Yuanxiang, he could naturally send news from Hu Yuanxiang continuously. Knowing what tricks the other party’s Cailou would have, he could take targeted measures.
"In addition, we have to find something for Ye Chang... It's hard for him to be too concerned about it." Wang Jin said again: "If we can drive him out of Chang'an City, that would be the best."
"This matter is probably a bit difficult. Ye Chang has a very good relationship with Jingzhao Mansion."
"Of course, Jingzhao Mansion won't work. Someone wants to drive him away... Where Ye Chang lives, do you know, just tell me it's okay." Wang Jin thought for a while, then smiled and said, "I'll look for someone to drive him away, and I guarantee he has to leave!"
"Oh, is this person? Mr. Xia Qing, don't be alerted. If Ye Shiyi is alarmed and let him know that we are paying attention to him, it will be counterproductive."
"Don't worry, this person... has absolutely no problem." Wang Jin smiled.
Wang Jin really did what he said. He left Wang Yuanbao's residence and called the servant when he went out. After giving a few instructions, the servant swayed to the Golden Immortal Temple in the city in the oil-walled cart. This was originally the Taoist temple of Princess Jinxian. After Princess Jinxian passed away, she was taken back by the royal family. Now it is Twenty-nine Mother who is taking care of it.
This also requires Ye Chang's blessing. If it weren't for Ye Chang, Li Longji wouldn't have paid attention to the daughter of Chong Niang, who has a very weak presence, and naturally he wouldn't have handed over this Taoist temple to her.
The cuckold is young, and the Taoist temple is only handed over to her in name, and there is someone who presides over it, but there are some news that she has to report to her.
The servant wandered around in front of the door and saw a little Taoist nun coming out. He immediately called the little Taoist nun: "This fairy, live, live!"
"What's wrong with you boy?" the little Taoist nun widened her eyes.
"I heard from someone that if there is news about Xiuwu Ye Shiyilang, there will be rewards when sent here. I wonder if it is true?"
"Nothing nonsense, what about Ye Shiyilang, what about cultivation martial arts?... Wait, are you talking about Ye Chang?"
Although the little Taoist nun is not a cuckold girl or a maid who cuckold girl is close to her, there are all female crowns in this Taoist temple, and female crowns are also women, so naturally they are indispensable to one of the women's biggest favorites. When their gossip souls are burning, some secrets inside and outside are spread.
For example, the nominal master Zhun Niang and the infinitely beautiful practitioner of Wu Ye Chang.
It is said that a female crown heard the sentence "The sunset is infinitely beautiful but it is almost dusk..." and lamented for a long time, and finally said, "This poem is very bad. Even though Ye Shiyi is smart, he will not live long..." As a result, this sentence was heard by the insect girl.
The insect girl, who had almost no questions asked about anything, was furious and didn't even ask for excuses. She directly asked the maid to slap the nun in the face.
"It's Ye Chang who is so beautiful that the sunset is infinitely beautiful."
"You have news about him. Isn't he practicing martial arts?"
"I'm here in Chang'an, I've just entered Chang'an City today."
“Where is it?”
When the little Taoist nun asked this, the servant knew there was a chance and immediately smiled with saliva: "Sister, don't ask anymore. People say that if there is this news, someone will give me rewards. Since there is no reward now, the villain will go back in vain..."
"Reward, reward, come and listen!"
The little Taoist nun thought that the news would definitely make the cuckold happy, so she took out a few cents to buy cakes with the servant. The little Taoist nun happily took the money and immediately told Ye Chang's place to listen to the little Taoist nun.
After saying that, he grabbed the reward and ran away, returned to Wang Jin's residence, and told Wang Jin the whole story. Wang Jin laughed and said, "When you do well, you will not only give me rewards, but also my husband!"
Wang Jin's idea was very simple, let Li Longji come forward and drive Ye Chang away!
After ate Ye Chang's "humiliation" by Princess Yuzhen, Wang Jin no longer dared to underestimate Ye Chang at all, so he inquired about a lot of news about Ye Chang. For Wang Wei, Princess Yuzhen did not hide it, especially the fact that Ye Chang and Twenty-nine Niang got along.
This is also the key reason why Ye Chang was given gold and released. Wang Jin felt funny when he heard it. Others made friends with princesses who were loved by Li Longji, but Ye Chang went to meet a little girl who had almost no sense of existence in the harem, and this little head didn't even have the title of princess!
However, he also secretly remembered the affection of Ye Chang for Ye Chang. After learning that Ye Chang had returned to Chang'an and was also likely to give advice to the merchants of Liuli in Xishi, he immediately wanted to use Ye Chang's relationship with Chong Niang to drive Ye Chang out of Chang'an.
Before the Chinese New Year last year, the insect girl asked for an order to meet Ye Chang. So now I heard that Ye Chang returned to Chang'an but didn't go to see her, and there were still people who didn't come to the door?
As soon as the insect girl came to the door, Wang Jin would find a way to pass the news to Zhang Ye. At that time, Zhang Ye would definitely go to Sanlang to slander again. Ye Chang was lucky and could be kicked out of Chang'an City like last time. If he was not lucky, Li Longji might just grab him and chop his head.
The more Wang Jin thought about it, the more proud he became. He immediately ordered someone to keep an eye on Ye Chang's stay. As long as there was any disturbance, he would immediately report him.
