Chapter 161 The eunuch Shuzi asked Shetian

Seeing summer coming, the wind blows in the fields, why are the cotton seedlings growing so well?

Zheng Wu looked at these green seedlings, and a complex expression appeared on his wrinkled face.

On the one hand, he was very happy about the growth of these seedlings, and on the other hand, he was a little worried: these things cannot be eaten, it is said that they only produce things like silkworm cocoons, and then they can spin and weave cloth - this is strange, and can be planted with cocoons.

But this is what Ye Langjun said. Those who came from Luoyang believed in Ye Langjun very much. They said that even in Luoyang City, Ye Langjun was also a big shot in the same word.

Thinking about it, he was too worried. When Ye Langqun arrived, he only took a few days to drive away the former head manager Fang Yingwu and Jie San, and calmed down the people's hearts.

Just as I was thinking, I saw Ye Chang and more than ten people walking along the ridge of the field.

"Langjun Ye." Zheng Wu hurriedly stood up and greeted him.

"Zheng Wu, is this kapok planted well?" Ye Chang recognized him and responded with a smile.

Zheng Wu was delighted that he had not met a big man like Ye Langjun, and he had only two months to remember him.

"Torangjun's blessing is very good, and it doesn't require too much care."

"How is your livelihood now? Are there enough food to be distributed every week?"

"Enough to eat, enough to eat, you can eat with your belly open. It's much better than in the past. In the past, there is no way to eat enough food."

"I remember your bride is pregnant. Have you had enough time with her?"

When he mentioned this, Zheng Wu was grateful. Although he was old, he was actually less than forty years old and had a wife at home. He had two children before and died. Now seeing his wife's belly bulging again, he was very worried, but fortunately he had a full meal now.

"Enough, enough, after finishing the work in the fields every day, you can go back to accompany her, and there is also a day off." Zheng Wu looked at Ye Chang and said boldly: "A gentleman is kind, rare in ancient and modern times, and villains are all grateful from the bottom of their hearts..."

Ye Chang claimed to use the "Ancient Method" to record the time, dividing each month into four weeks, one, two and three weeks as seven days, and the fourth week as eight days. The last day of the tenants' one, two and three weeks and the last two days of the fourth week are holiday days, which can be said to be much easier than in previous years.

They were just grateful to Ye Chang for giving them a rest day, but they never thought that Ye Chang was subtly cultivating their discipline of abiding by time through this regular schedule.

"In a few days, the stable lady will come to the village. I will ask her to show your wife." Ye Chang said again.

On Ye Chang's side, it was just a few words, but on Zheng Wu's side, tears filled his eyes. He bowed again: "Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you,"

Shanzhi said "Shanzai" behind Ye Chang. Ye Chang said goodbye to Zheng Wu. Several people continued to move along the ridge of the field. When they were far away from Zheng Wu, Ye Chang looked back at Shanzhi: "Monkey, you Shanzai are complaining, right?"

Shanzhi glared: "What Langjun said, I just think that Langjun is becoming more sinister."

“Where is it?”

"Are you just pretending that way, just to make people fight for you?" Shanzhi laughed and said, "Even I can see it, do you think others can't see it?"

"So what you can tell? This is originally an open conspiracy, not a conspiracy. My pretentiousness is not just a few light words, but a few light words, but a real money and silver." Ye Chang shook his head: "Monk, this is the case in the world. Since people live in the world, they need to do things, not only for themselves, but also for others. Even the emperor sitting in the Ming Palace does not have to worry about the world every day? These tenants, if they don't work hard for me, they will work hard for others. At least if I get benefits, they will not be missing."

"The monk was reading military tactics recently. I remember that when Wu Qi sucked abscess for a soldier, the soldier's mother cried and said that her son must have died for Wu Qi." However, the monk was not convinced by him: "After all, you are like Wu Qi, you are a liar."

The monk looked at the military tactics and was Ye Chang's request. With the monk's courage, it was a waste of life. What Ye Chang did not expect was that the monk did not learn how to attract soldiers from Wu Qi, but learned a lot of complaints.

He thought for a while and said, "Let me talk about it in another way. What is your monk actually for chanting a mantra and praying for others?"

"Naturally, it is to promote Buddhism..."

"Look, monk, you are not honest. How could you just promote Buddhism? If you do this, you monk should have all your money and property. Why did you become monks asking for charity from others?"

After thinking about it, the monk added: "I still want food and clothing."

"That is, when I ask for food and clothing, I also ask for food and clothing, and tenants also ask for food and clothing. I often care about the tenants, so the tenants are willing to put more effort into me. This is a kind of...exchange, so it is not a false statement..."

Ye Chang wanted to continue his long talk, but the monk looked contemptuous. After Ye Chang had been dating for a long time, the monk understood that this guy was the best at making trouble. Telling him the truth was to ask for trouble.

At this moment, the monk's eyes suddenly widened, showing a look of vigilance.

Ye Chang also heard the strange movement behind him. He turned around and saw more than ten riders coming along the official road. The horses were full of bright helmets and armor, with a solemn aura.

The horses trotted. Because Ye Chang and his party were among the ridges, they did not ride into the fields, but stopped on the road. A knight immediately asked, "Do you know that there is a Ye Chang Ye Langjun?"

Although the knight who was talking was also wearing armor, he had a yin energy as soon as he opened his mouth. Ye Chang frowned slightly and looked at the man: "Is it Ye Chang, I wonder who is the master?"

The man took off his helmet and showed his face Bai Wuwei's face. He smiled before he could speak: "Our surname is Bian, and his name is Lingcheng. Now he is working in the palace. He comes to see you on the order of Your Majesty and brings your Majesty's oral order."

Ye Chang's heart was shocked. Li Longji didn't have much affection for him. It can be seen from driving him out of Chang'an City. He bowed and said, "The man from the mountain village, I don't want to work..."

At this time, Ye Chang suddenly realized that the person who came to spread the news was not an ordinary person, but Bian Lingcheng

This eunuch who cheated several famous generals of the Tang Dynasty actually appeared in front of him.

The most famous eunuch at this time was naturally Gao Lishi, but Bian Lingcheng's identity was extraordinary and he was very trusted by Li Longji.

"I was not interested in the work... the Lord asked about it." Ye Chang paused for a while and continued: "I have worked for the Lord... This is not a place for conversation. Please sit in a small place."

"It just so happened that we heard that the wine in Ye Shiyilang's house, one is a nectar and the other is a drunk yellow grind, are all rare and top-notch products. They have been famous for a long time, and they will enjoy it very much today."

After Bian Lingcheng finished speaking, he burst into laughter, as if he wanted to show his heroic spirit, but his sharp voice made his laughter unkind. Ye Chang felt goosebumps all over his body, and the monk behind him almost vomited.

After leading Bian Lingcheng back to the village and asked him to sit down, the dead eunuch beat him up, but he didn't say the true intention of Li Longji sent him. After the wine was served, his eyes shone: "When we come to taste these two kinds of wine, I heard that Li Taibai praised him and wrote poems to praise..."

As soon as the wine was in his mouth, Bian Lingcheng's expression changed. His face turned light and dark. It took him a while to praise: "Good wine, good wine, we, the remaining people, felt like there was a ball of fire in our chest after drinking..."

At this point, Bian Lingcheng's topic suddenly changed: "This time we came out, we were asking for work from the saints... The reason is that we have long admired Ye Langjun as good as the name of industry and want to come to ask Ye Langjun for advice."

The ominous feeling in Ye Chang's heart became more and more obvious.

Gao Lishi was the first powerful official in the Tang Dynasty. Because he had made contributions to launching a coup with Li Longji to kill Empress Wei and others, he had the power that the eunuchs had not had before. He started, and then the eunuchs who played with inferior power tactics came out one after another to cater to the old suspicion of Li Longji. But that was something that happened a few years later. Now Bian Lingcheng and others dared to carefully look at power.

But Bian Lingcheng was like this in front of him...at least two news was revealed.

First, Gao Lishi seemed to be unable to suppress the rise among these eunuchs, and second,... his situation seemed to be not very good.

"I am the one who is Xing Yu, and I am always worried that I have no place to rely on in the future, so I want to accumulate some property." Seeing that Ye Chang was not speaking, Bian Lingcheng only said that he did not understand the meaning of his words. He smiled and said, "I know that Ye Langjun is good at managing the planting industry. If you have something to ask for, please don't refuse Ye Langjun.

Ye Chang was still very calm on the surface: "Mr. Bian just told him to do it, and he would never refuse what he could do."

"Ye Langjun's nectar wine and drunk yellow grind have heard that the output is insufficient. We are willing to invest and help Ye Langjun with help, and at the same time save us pension money. What does Ye Langjun think?"

As soon as this sentence came out, Ye Chang was shocked.

This is my favorite profit from brewing

The profits of Ganlu wine and Drunk Yellow Farm are very large, and it can be said that they are more than ten times. Only because Ye Chang has the best distillation process and equipment now can do this. Even if others want to learn it, they will not be able to learn it in a short while.

Since entering Luoyang in August last year, it has only been eight months since the launch of Zuihuangliang, these two wines have brought more than 30,000 chunks of profit to Ye Chang.

It was this money, coupled with the previous income from the paper and printing workshops, which continuously supported Ye Chang's construction at the same time: he invited craftsmen from Zibo to transform the glazed kiln, expanded the shipbuilding workshop in Wuzhi, invested in infrastructure in Luoyang, and conducted cotton trial planting in Mengzhou.

Ye Chang had known for a long time that he could not possess such a large profit for a long time. His idea was very real. Using the reputation and connections he had accumulated before, he could ensure that he had mastered the benefits for three to five years, and as soon as the scale grew, he would immediately change hands. He had already thought about it and handed it over to Li Longji directly in exchange for corresponding policy support.

But I never thought that just like the market, someone reached out to me before long.

The key question is, Bian Lingcheng...he is not Gao Lishi, why dare to speak?

Ye Chang stared at Bian Lingcheng, who held the wine glass, smiling, but didn't say anything, as if waiting for Ye Chang's response.

Without thinking for long, Ye Chang understood that he had no choice.

Xiang Yuanzai, Lu Qi, Wang Jin and others were essentially scholars and officials. Although their personalities were different, their styles were always similar. Ye Chang was not very afraid of them - it was determined that they used limited means.

But dead eunuchs like Bian Lingcheng are different.

This guy came from Chang'an and took the task. The previous words were all the groundwork. What was really scary was what he had not said so far. Thinking that he also brought the armored soldiers, Ye Chang knew that he had to agree.

"Bian Gong has a heart, how could he refuse? But how did Bian Gong think about his future business?"

"Oh, what does this mean?"

"There are two types of businesses in general. One is that the Bian Gong himself also personally takes care of how to operate and expand. The Bian Gong takes action by himself. The other is that the Bian Gong let go completely and just sends an account to calculate the income each time he calculates it."

"We don't know how to manage, so let's take the latter one." Bian Lingcheng thought for a while.

Ye Chang was sneering in her heart.

Bian Lingcheng is greedy, so he must have sent someone to intervene in the business first, and then looked for an opportunity to take away the brewing industry in one fell swoop, just like Wang Yuanbao took away the football market. However, Wang Yuanbao has financial and manpower, so it does not take much preparation time. Even so, he also made great efforts to buy the manager of the football market. There are several eunuchs in Bian Lingcheng's palace who can use it. Even if Ye Chang handed over all the winery to him now, he could not manage it.

He must have slowly planted people. After two or three years, when these people get started, they will take all the industries. They will take advantage of their mistakes and make a great decision. However, he did not expect that Ye Chang would actually have the intention to hand over the winery to Li Longji.

That's it. In the past two or three years, he has nominally distributed dividends to this dead eunuch shares, but he has used the profit of expanding production and selling more wine to tempt him. Before he makes up his mind to take action, he will be useless.

"How much principal should we pay and how many dividends can we get?" Bian Lingcheng's fat face showed a look of greed.

This was the first time this guy showed such an unconcealed expression, and he was restrained in an instant.

"The Bian Gong only needs to pay a thousand guan and own 10% of the shares. After a year, the Bian Gong can use a thousand guan and buy another 10% of the shares. What do you think about this for five consecutive years?"

"It's too slow. I'll spend 5,000 stagnants, accounting for 50%."

The two bargained for a while, and finally reached 2,000 guan, accounting for 20% of the total, and the next year it would be 20%. After the high-fives, Bian Lingcheng smiled and said, "Hahahaha, Ye Langjun is a handsome man."

The so-called hero is a person who knows the current affairs. Ye Chang understands that he will enter the official topic next.

"The emperor has an order. Ye Chang, a military man from the army, was appointed as the Chengwulang. He served as the military officer of the Zhechong Prefecture, and went to Hongjicheng, Dahua County to serve in front of the army."
