If the original Duli Town is now silent, then the newly built Lushun is full of people.

There was a large open space on the beach, and the trees that could be used and the firewood that could be burned into charcoal were cut down and piled up, while the rest of the weeds and shrubs were burned to pieces by a fire.

"Shiyilang, your progress is really nothing to say." Ye Shu exclaimed as he saw this place that changed almost every day.

"This is all for building a home for themselves. How can they not make any effort?" Ye Chang said with a smile.

How to make workers work harder? In this situation, the effect of increasing rewards has reached its limit. What remains is to take advantage of these people's urgency to want a new home. They know that what they have built is their own home and the place where their parents, wives and children live, and they will naturally be easier to care about when doing things.

"Brother-in-law, what's wrong with the kiln?" Ye Chang called out to him and asked.

"The eight kilns are all strong, so you can burn bricks and charcoal below," Liu Kun laughed.

"Okay, let's make a fortune, but it depends on my brother-in-law."

After four years of hard work, Liu Kun can now be said to be a master of kilns, brick kilns, charcoal kilns, porcelain kilns, pottery kilns and even steelmaking iron and glass kilns. He knew everything. This time, he came to Liaodong, and Ye Chang focused on asking him to come. Liu Kun was still a little home-loving and reluctant to leave Xiuwu. Ye Chang's sister was very supportive. She blew the pillow wind and blew Liu Kun over.

"It depends on me no matter how you say it. If it weren't for Shiyilang, how could I have such skills?" Liu Kun felt a little embarrassed.

"Brother-in-law, please plan when you can stand up the glass kiln. Since the brick kilns have been made, the next step is to find the materials for burning glass."

The reason why Ye Chang fled overseas at this time was related to Liu Kun. Liu Kun's mastery of the kiln had reached the point where he could open the furnace to make steel and burn glass. Both of them had great profits, and even if the Tang Dynasty was tolerant, he would never allow these two industries to break away from the control of the government.

Even with Ye Chang's financial resources, I can't help but feel a little scared when I came to Lushun to support this stall. So far, I have only invested but no output. Therefore, glass and steelmaking must be planned as soon as possible, even if I build a relatively small workshop first, I can at least get income.

Liu Kun nodded, and Ye Chang had time to turn around and looked at the clamp Mou Ding who was nodding and bowing not far away, he walked over.

"Is this the messenger of Qingnipu?" Ye Chang asked.

"A villain is."

"What's your intention to come here? I'll kill Gao Baosheng and Wang Nai. They all say that behind it is your Qingnipu commander. Is this true or false?"

"Unforgive, the general, unforgive..."

Ye Chang was just a guard and capture envoy. This position is called a general, and it is called a general, but he is just a clamp and a slap. He looked at Ye Chang carefully, and felt that this guard and capture were really young, but his charm was extraordinary, and he was really a god. He was indeed a man of the country.

Thinking of this, he felt more and more that he should come here. He bent down and saluted, with a flattering smile on his face: "Master, Gao Baosheng has always been talking nonsense. In the past, my Mingfu once scolded him, but he pretended to be a hypocritical person. Because there was no imperial decree, my Mingfu was not easy to punish him. As for Wang Nai of Weizi Village, he was even more vicious and vicious. The Grandmaster must not be confused by him. Now, when my Mingfu learned that the Grandmaster was apart from these two villains, he sent a villain here to send a gift and asked the Grandmaster to accept it with a smile."

After saying that, he signaled behind him. Ye Chang looked over and saw several strong men carrying boxes. At this time, he opened the boxes to reveal the things inside.

They are all local products, such as minks, ginseng, pearls, etc. The most precious one is the white tiger skin. Ye Chang's brow trembled, the white tiger skin...

Although this thing is beautiful, Ye Chang cannot use it well, and it will be beyond the rules if it is good at using it well. Moreover, although Ye Chang himself likes luxury, the white tiger skin is not very attractive to him. In his opinion, this is just the skin of an albino tiger.

Just for gifts.

"Well, is your master Ping Guo Ling?" Ye Chang asked.

"That is, according to the laws of the court, the county magistrates of Andong are now appointed by the local election of the powerful commander of Qu. The head of the family has been the magistrate of Pingguo for three generations, and has always been loyal to the court."

The third generation was Ping Guo Ling. Obviously, it was already occupied by one side when the Bohai Kingdom invaded twenty years ago. The Bohai Kingdom army did not destroy it by the way. It must be a person on both ends of the rat. Ye Chang's smile remained the same and said, "So that's it... I am now holding two positions, Xiangping Guardian and Jilizhou are also the military officer. Ping Guo Ling is a subordinate of this official."

Hearing that the young Tang official in front of him also had the position of "Jilizhou Registered Officer", Zheng Mouding suddenly felt a stern: Xiangping Guardian is a military position, and he cannot take charge of Qingnipu. If Jilizhou Registered Officer joins the army, it is not the case. It can be a military or a civilian. Strictly speaking, Pingguo County is under his rule.

"I have never heard of a record officer in the county of Lizhou... Moreover, isn't the commander of the Anton states a member of the local tribes the local ranks?" asked carefully: "Is it necessary to change the course of the imperial court to appoint a great general?"

"You speak Chinese well, and you know it if you change your mind."

"The villain is interested in learning Chinese and has read the classics and history of the Tang Dynasty since he was a child."

"The court is not going to change the course. I am here as an exception. As for why, I am not convenient to say to you." Ye Chang smiled: "In the future, the capital of Jilizhou and Xiangping Shouzhang will be placed in Lushun. Since you are an envoy sent by Gao Song, go back and tell him... to come here to pay homage to me."

"Yes, yes." Zheng Mou Ding said this, but he was dissatisfied. Gao Song would never leave his nest and run here. He would be sick at that time and drag him down.

"I want to build a city here, but I lack manpower. You are here just in time. Let Gao Song offer his Qingnipu residents' household registration so that he can recruit people to perform labor service." Ye Chang said again: "This matter is a major plan for the court, and it must be done. You can explain it clearly to your county magistrate - it will also be of great benefit if it is done."

“Big Benefit?”

"Isn't this Jilizhou the only one official? I won't say anything about it. What about Sima and other things. If you do well, your county magistrate will not be promoted." Ye Chang said blankly: "You know, I am a Han official and I have been here for a short time, but your county magistrate is different. He has been the Pingguo Ling for three generations. Maybe in a few decades, his family will be the three generations of the governor of Jilizhou."

Finally, Ye Chang glanced at the guy and added: "At that time, you can also make a county magistrate in Jili Prefecture. You are proficient in Sinology, but you must have a lot of ambitions in your stomach."

Zheng Mouding's eyes suddenly lit up, and these words were just right for his appetite.

He was good at studying Chinese studies, especially scholars' pursuit of power, which was so strong that they could not be stronger. He even had the idea of ​​going to Chang'an to participate in the imperial examination.

Ye Chang had long figured out his character from his clothing and conversation. In another life, this was a abilities that an ordinary salesman must possess, and not many people in this life were mastered. Seeing his excited expression, Ye Chang secretly wrote down, looked at the gifts, and smiled and said, "I should have given you some things, but since you are a literati, you are afraid that ordinary people will not be able to see you. Let's do this... Ye An, come with a book of Li Taibai's poems, which is the kind signed by Li Taibai."

"What?" At this time, Li Bai's poems were very famous, and it was Bohai, Silla and Japan. Literature and scholars had heard of his name, but only some of his poems were circulated. Therefore, a volume of Li Bai's new poems was really exciting to these local literati.

"Oh, Li Taibai and I are close friends, so I sent some books to me, and I happened to send them to the person who knew the treasure." Ye Chang said with a smile: "I think my husband's conversation is good, so I must be a gentleman. Giving this book of poems to you is not a man who is entrusted to me."

Ji Mou Ding was so excited that his whole body shivered. After he brought the poem, he looked at the cover in front of him. A man in the ink painting raised a bottle to face the moon, and the five words "Li Taibai's poems and notes" were printed on it. Then he looked at the inner page. On the title page, the seven words "Give me the gift to my brother Ye Shiyi Hui" were written, and the signature was the six words "I'm foolish brother Taibai's head".

Before he could turn the inner page, Shi Mou Ding fell down and gave a big gift to Ye Chang: "Ye joined the army and gave him a generous gift, so he would definitely collect it for life, thinking it was a treasure for family heirlooms."

This is probably a treasure that has gone on, and loyalty has soared. Ye Chang's heart was filled with evil taste, but he also knew that a mere volume of poems would give him a certain degree of favor, but it would be far from being able to win him over.

"I am also interested in spreading Chinese studies here, so I have printed a lot of this collection of classics, history, and essays. At this time, there are also plans for the collections of famous poets in the poetry world. If Mr. Pin Lang is interested, I will give more gifts in the future. I just hope Mr. Pin Lang can spread Chinese studies so that the ends of the world can also be used as the sages."

"Dare not to do it," said Zheng Mou Ding again.

Ye Chang laughed and said, "If there is nothing else, please give me some advice. I am still busy here."

Pin Mou Ding bowed and wrapped the poem in cloth. After he walked away, Ye An said with regret: "Shiyilang, don't you say this book can be a family heirloom in the future? Why did he give it to this guy

"Oh, I asked Li Taibai to write more than 300 copies for me last time. If you want, I can also give you one." Ye Chang said.

"ah?"

"Or what Li Taibai would have written only a few words according to his arrogant character? He finished writing for two days. If I hadn't promised a good wine, he would have been unable to finish writing."

Ye An thought of Li Bai sitting there signing books one by one, and immediately felt sweating on his body: I ​​signed three hundred books... I'm afraid my hands will be exhausted.

"However, this is a way. I have to find a way to make Silla, Bohai and Japanese Confucian scholars fall in love with Li Taibai's poems... Well, make some jokes and spread them over, and then the collection of poems signed by Li Taibai can come in great use." Ye Chang murmured to himself: "Creating stars, creating stars is just that. This is considered soft power, exporting culture and values, right?"

Ye An didn't understand these words very much, but thought that if this was the case, Li Bai would probably be invited to sign it specifically. At that time, it would be impossible to get over it.

Zhi Mou Ding naturally didn't know that what he took back was the book that Ye Chang asked Li Bai to sign in batches, and thought it was the only treasure. He hid it carefully. He originally wanted to put it in his luggage, but later he decided to wrap it with three layers of oil paper and oil cloth inside and outside, and tie it around his waist.

He was burdened with important tasks and did not dare to stay for too long. The next day he returned to the original ship. The ship was bound to bring some Tang people's goods accumulated in the city. After returning to Qingnipu, Gao Song immediately summoned him to ask: "Qing Mou Ding, you are going to see the truth of the Tang people this time, what is the result?"

"Ming Gong, the Tang people are powerful, and with the power of Qingnipu, I cannot defeat you." Zheng Mou Ding looked solemn.

"Nonsense, I don't want to go to war with Tang State. I am still the county magistrate of Tang State - but have you ever known how many soldiers and horses the Tang State official has in his hands?"

"There are two thousand strong soldiers in your hand, and there are two thousand newly recruited militias, a total of four thousand."

"What, four thousand soldiers, so many, is the Tang Dynasty moving the Protector of Anton again?" Gao Song was shocked and got up from his seat: "These four thousand people are just pioneers, are you here? Come and prepare a boat for me, I'll go and greet me quickly."

If the Tang Dynasty really came from the east, I was afraid that the whole country would be 300,000 to 400,000 soldiers, he, a small Qingnipu, wouldn't dare to stand in front of him? The Goguryeo people in Liaodong were all broken by the Tang Dynasty. It was lucky that they were not taken away during the two internal migrations of the Tang Dynasty. Even if they had the intention to restore the country, they would never dare to show it in front of the Tang Dynasty.

"Ming Mansion, please feel free, listen to me." Zhi Mou Ding couldn't help but underestimate him. He thought of the young and handsome Ye Zengjun of the Tang Dynasty. He looked at the fat, bloated and sweaty Gaoming Mansion in front of him, and sighed secretly: "The Tang Dynasty did not want to move east to the Andong Protectorate. The Ye Zengjun had other important tasks, but the villain was humble. He didn't want to say he could listen to the villain, but he just listened to his tone. Although the Tang Dynasty had successors, there would not be too many soldiers."

"So that's it. It's good if you didn't say that earlier, that's good..." Gao Song sat back on his seat and said lazily.

"Although this is the case, Ye Zongjun's official position was to join the army by Jilizhou, but he was now the immediate superior of the Ming Mansion, so he ordered the Ming Mansion to visit him."

"Ha, I'm not a little angry. Let him wait. After waiting for ten or eight years, I'll be in a good mood and maybe I'll see him." Gao Song said disdainfully.

The Tang Dynasty did not come with a large army, so he had nothing to fear. He was a smart person and naturally knew not to leave his nest. If he really went to see Ye Chang and was detained there as a qualifying place, then he would go without returning.

"Yes, yes, it means that the mansion is not in good health. When he is well, he will go to a visit. However... the Ming Mansion, Ye Zongjun should not offend him. He has strong soldiers and horses. If he really makes things difficult for me, I am afraid... it would be better to lead him as a helper."

"Turn it to help?"

"Now the north is not under pressure. The Tang people have a plan called "Turning Wolf and Devouring Tigers". We are respectful to the Ye Zongjun. Whatever he wants, we will give a discount to the supply. But we can ask the north for it, just say that Ye Zongjun is levying taxes. If the two families fight, we can benefit..."

"Wait, what is driving a wolf and swallowing a tiger, and what is the fisherman's profit?"
