Li Bai was waiting for the wine to come up, and he was slightly excited when he heard this: "Shiyilang, you have received poetry in your dreams and are famous all over the world, so I want to listen carefully."

It must be said that it was reasonable for people at that time to comment on Li Bai's verbal beauty, and Ye Chang's heart was also a little fluttering when he said this.

This kind of compliment comes from the mouth of others, but it comes from the mouth of Li Bai... It's very different.

But immediately, Ye Chang was alert: This is not his real talent, you can play with it, but you can't play it too much.

"Watering wine and you will be lenient with the Lord, and the human relationship is like a turbulent wave. The white prime minister still presses the sword when he knows it, and the rich people laugh at him. The grass color is all wet by drizzle, and the flowers and branches are about to move the spring breeze. How can we ask about the world? It is better to lie high and eat more."

This poem is the most appropriate way to take it out at this time. The only thing that makes Ye Chang a little worried is that the author of this poem is Wang Wei himself. Ye Chang vaguely remembers that this is a work given to Pei Di by Wang Wei in his later years. It should be written after the Anshi Rebellion. It is taken out more than ten years in advance and will not be seen through.

Li Bai heard the sentence "The old prime minister still presses the sword when he knew it, and the rich people laughed and played the crown first", and after the whole poem was over, he sighed: "Shiyilang, you are also a man of heaven, you can see through this... This is not as good as your age."

Indeed, if we had not experienced the world and the human world, how could we write such a poem?

Ye Chang had all contacted the three great poets at this time. Du Fu was honest, but he did not lose his passion. Li Bai was angry in middle age and complained. Wang Wei was probably the smartest and most skilled person among the three. Thinking about the experiences of the three, Wang Wei was the biggest official, because he was forced to be a fake position of An Lushan, and in the end he was also rich and famous. He was gentle on the surface, but in fact he was much tougher than Li Bai and Du Fu.

It is precisely because he can see through it that Wang Wei is half-official and half-hidden, and he is alone in keeping with him.

"But it is inevitable that you, Ye Shiyi, are an old fox spirit, and you will naturally see through the world." Li Bai commented on Ye Chang.

After saying that, he patted Ye Chang and said, "Since he said it's better to lie down and have a meal, I'll invite someone to eat together. I've heard that Ye Shiyi's cooking skills are not inferior to Yiya, so I have to have a feast today."

"That's a must." Ye Chang suddenly felt energetic. He stolen the poems, but this cooking skill is indeed his own.

Li Bai's arrival made Wolong Valley lively. He was a person who couldn't stop. At first, he looked around and pulled Ye Chang to search for the Taoist temple. As a result, he found that Ye Chang was really busy, so he began to wander around with Ye Chang. He was a curious guy again. When he saw something new, he always liked to ask, which made Ye Chang very annoyed. Yu Qian asked Zhang Xiu to accompany him with many questions.

As a result, the two of them got together and broke up whatever they saw. Although they caused a lot of damage, Ye Chang could finally concentrate on his own affairs.

He originally planned to rush to Mengzhou, but a few days later, he invited Li Bai to Mengzhou. Li Bai disagreed: "Shiyilang, I didn't know in the past, but now I know that this Wolong Valley makes you so comfortable. Even the mansion in Chang'an is not as good as yours. Why do you have to run around and waste your energy for some small profits?

"Haha, it's a bad idea for Mr. Qinglian to say this. If I weren't a person like me who was running for the sake of small profits, how could you feel now?" Ye Chang shook his head and laughed. Sure enough, Li Bai just couldn't calm down and do practical things. This guy might have to find some work for him: "No more, just say that I went to Mengzhou to plant kapok. I used cotton from Nanzhao and cotton coats and quilts made from me?"

"I've used it, but it's very warm."

"When Taizong conquered Goryeo and now the Dameni art conquers the Bohai Sea, our army suffered a loss because the weather was cold and the soldiers were impatient to the cold. If the entire army could change into cotton coats and quilts, think about it, it would be foolproof, but it would be better than the current mao and reed cucumbers, right?"

Li Bai slapped his head: "So that's it... This is a big deal, I'll go with you too."

Ye Chang thought to himself, if I fool you, I will have many immortal works in the Chinese poetry world? He smiled and said, "You are not happy with such chores, so I can't come. Besides, there is something that needs help from someone. You are just here."

"Say, tell me, kill someone to take revenge or what?" Li Bai's interest suddenly came.

Ye Chang was speechless again, Li Bai's temperament was too reckless. Although he knew it was a joke, Ye Chang was still a little worried when he remembered that this guy had a criminal record.

"It's not a personal grudge, but a state affairs... Li Qi, Gao Shi and Cen Shen have invited me to join me many times to step on the border and be familiar with the border feelings in order to prepare for emergencies. I am busy with these chores and I really have no time to do it. I don't know if it's possible for the layman to serve me?"

At this time, Li Bai was frustrated and came out of Chang'an in shame, making him realize that it would be extremely difficult to survive in the precious land of Chang'an, hoping that one day he could realize his life's ambitions. He heard Ye Chang's suggestion, and his eyes lit up. This was a good way out. With the help of the side, he obtained the Lord.

"Okay, that's it." He clapped his hands: "I'll go with those three."

"This time, you must not show off your courage in your blood and energy. One person wins and loses at one moment, and there is no big picture. But if several people can come up with a good strategy to stabilize the border through this trip, they will be a good move to benefit the country and the people. If someone is not talented, they will be in the Central Plains to support you." Ye Chang felt a little apologized when he saw him so happy. These people were all generous and tragic people. If something happened to them, they would be afraid that they would be in peace for the rest of their lives. Therefore, he gave a few more words.

"Just rest assured." Li Bai said proudly.

Li Bai, Li Qi, Gao Shi, Cen Shen and others, have been famous for a long time even if they have never met. After hearing Ye Chang introduce their plans, Li Bai, whose career is not going well, was already full of hard work. As a romantic poet, he had a passion for adventure, and Ye Chang invested to settle the family with everyone as a means of money, which made them have no worries.

Ye Chang's only requirement was that they would mark the map every time they arrived at a place. Although Ye Chang knew that these imaginative poets would make many mistakes in this, this map was just for reference.

Just imagine the northeastern border map drawn by Li Bai: there are mountains here, thousands of feet high, and rivers beside them, and water comes from the sky...

After a cold war, Ye Chang decided to spend a day to give Li Bai some painting training

It must be admitted that there are geniuses in this world. Ye Chang thought it would be difficult for Li Bai to receive the drawing training, but he never thought that in just one day, he could play the contour map.

"How difficult is this? Just draw the same thing." Li Bai disagreed when he heard Ye Chang's praise: "But such maps can only be used for military aircraft, with no aesthetic sense at all, which is really an insult to the pen of a certain family."

All you need is that there is no beauty. Ye Chang praised and praised him for a few more words. Only then did Li Bai feel proud and turned his attention to the good wine.

Two days later, on the fourth day of the third lunar month of the Tang Dynasty, Ye Chang, Li Bai, Jia Maoer and others left Wolong Valley. The first goal was Luoyang. After only staying in Luoyang for a few days, Ye Chang threw Li Bai and Jia Maoer down and went north to Mengzhou, which was separated from Luoyang by the Yellow River.

Princess Yuzhen's two farms were at the foot of Wangwu Mountain in Mengzhou. Now the mountain is building a large-scale construction to build a Taoist temple for her to support her in the future. When Ye Chang arrived, she could also see the people who were driven to serve.

"It was the busy farming time, but it drove the people to do this..."

Ye Chang was speechless about this, but Ye Chang could roughly guess the considerations behind it.

The people delay the farming season, even if it is just a little delay, it means disaster. The bankruptcy of a group of self-cultivated farmers means that a group of land will be annexed and a group of laborers will become slaves.

If it weren't for this, how could the Tang Dynasty accumulate a total of 30 million or even more slaves relying solely on the slaves entering the surrounding countries?

"How about the tenants in the farm?"

Princess Yuzhen’s two manors are separated by a stream, with fertile soil and a rare large fertile land connected together. Ye Chang estimated that the two manors together were definitely not available, but there were always seven or eight thousand acres.

When Ye Chang opened his mouth, he did not ask about the number of land acres, but about the situation of the tenant.

The head manager of the village who greeted him laughed indifferently: "The husband is just an amateur when he asks. Those tenants need as much as they want. Every year, people come to cry and shout for the tenants."

Ye Chang frowned unknownly.

Almost all the feudal dynasties that constitute the basis of their military power are self-cultivated farmers. The emergence of this phenomenon of large-scale bankruptcy and surrender of self-cultivated farmers means that the economic foundation, which constitutes the cornerstone of its political stability, is collapsing. The crisis of the Tang Dynasty came far earlier than he imagined, and even at this time when it was known as the prosperous era, there were already seedlings.

However, for Ye Chang, the bankruptcy of self-cultivated farmers... is also a good thing. A large amount of landless labor can also create conditions for him to promote his industrial plans.

"How many tenants are there?" Ye Chang asked again.

"Isn't it said, don't worry about the number of tenants. As long as someone shouts, there will be enough people..."

Ye Chang frowned again. This time it was not for the crisis of the Tang Dynasty, but for the two monks.

The two managers of the shop are both people who can speak in front of Princess Yuzhen, but their attitude is clearly a slander for themselves.

One smiled silently, as if he was just watching a joke, and the other answered the question was to talk about it, but he refused to cooperate sincerely.

It seems... I thought that the successful acceptance of the farm would still be in trouble.

"Tell me how many tenants there are now, register the list and be good at sorting according to age." Ye Chang was not upset, but just said calmly: "In one day... no, within four hours, I want this list."

"Haha, Mr. Ye, you are a precious person. It's better for us, those who are tired of life, to worry about this matter..."

"Ye Ying, Ye Ting"

Ye Chang shouted, and the two Ye family members behind him came out.

Among the Ye clan members who are good at learning martial arts through monks, these two are the best. They came out with Ye Chang this time and Ye Chang was also deliberately trained.

The two of them came up and directly raised the head manager of the village. The head manager was not afraid and shouted: "I am the head manager of Princess Yuzhen's mansion. Who are you here? How dare you be rude to me?"

"It's just a slave leader in the eldest princess's mansion. Even if he is a general manager, he's just a slut." Ye Chang came to him with disgust on his face: "Don't think that someone doesn't know the calculations in your dog slave's belly. He deceives his subordinates and hides his superiors every year and gets a lot of benefits from the farm?" From today on, your dog slave's good days are over. I've paid the money from the eldest princess for three years. In the past three years, everything in the farm, whether it's people or things, is the final decision. You dog slave, still want to regard yourself as a manager? In a dream, drag it out, beat it first, and then tie it to the farm to show it to the public."

Ye Ying and Ye Ting dragged the village out. Ye Chang had an explanation before coming, so the village was scolding and threatening, but they all heard it.

"You are a smart person. That guy thought he was smart just now, but you ordered him to come out to stroke my tiger beard." Ye Chang turned to the remaining manager.

The manager's face suddenly changed, and he quickly lowered his head and bowed: "Where is the stupidest man, I am the most stupid..."

"Listen, I'm here, I'm not interested in some of the benefits of you servants. I know exactly what you do. As long as you are obedient, I'm too lazy to care about you." Ye Chang raised two fingers: "In two hours, prepare the list I want, not only the ones in your farm, but also the idiot just now."

The manager was stunned for a moment, and then said respectfully: "Yes"

These business leaders are the most cunning. Because they are far away from the master's house, nearly half of the profits in the farm were taken away by them. Those who are brave even use the name of the master's house to do dissatisfaction, which makes them rich and ruins their reputation.

In less than two hours, the manager of the banker brought the list over. Ye Chang looked carefully. As expected, according to his request, the list was marked with age and good at it. Ye Chang flipped through the list and nodded with satisfaction: "You will always have your benefits when you do it well."

"Yes, yes, don't worry, the villain knows the current affairs, but not like the third brother of Jie." The manager took the opportunity to say, "In recent years, the noble master has been devoted to the Tao, and the common affairs in the village are almost nothing to ask about. The third brother of Jie relies on his mother as the capable mother around the noble master, controlling the inside and outside. Not only his village, but even the village under the villain, they all listen to him... The husband punished him, which was really a pleasure to the hearts of the heart."

"It's so satisfying?" Ye Chang put down the list and was a little surprised: "Is it because Jie San is oppressing good and illegal?"

"this……"

"Your surname is Fang, your name is elegant... Fang Yingwu, haha, I'm from Chun County, how did you come to the princess's mansion and serve as the manager here?" Ye Chang saw him talking hesitantly, as if he was scruples, and asked about his origin with a smile.

The face of Yingwu was moved, feeling a little embarrassed: "But my father traveled around the world and owed debts from fellow villagers to raise money. Later, the debt fell into the hands of his enemies... Later, he could not pay back the debt, so his father and someone were sold to slaves."

As for falling into the princess's mansion, it was a good way out for him. Ye Chang did not ask in detail, and smiled and said, "It is of great importance to grow kapok this time. If you can make contributions, Ye is willing to plead with the princess and return your father and son to the innocence. What do you think?"

Fang Yingwu suddenly looked very excited and cried out in gratitude and bowed to the ground: "How can anyone want to be a slave? If this happens, he will be willing to die for the Lord Ye."
