Chapter 262 Unexpectedly Thousand Sails Compete to Cross the Song

Chen Xilie has left and is seeing others...

Ye Chang immediately understood that Li Linfu was leaving him alone.

After so long I have been in Chang'an, although I have sent many people to send gifts and greetings, I have not visited them. It is a shame. I did not follow Li Linfu's hint, finding someone to propose marriage is a disappointment. I am disrespectful. In disappointment, Li Linfu just let him go, which is still light.

Moreover, Ye Chang felt a little guilty about Li Tengkong.

Since we met, Li Tengkong can be said to have never asked for anything from him, but only silent efforts to him. Although this kind of efforts sometimes cause some trouble to him, from a man's standpoint... it is quite happy.

For the sake of Li Tengkong's face, just let it be hung, at least it hasn't been driven out yet, right?

Ye Chang thought about this for a whole afternoon and was so hungry that he was gushing, but until the sound of the evening drum, Li Linfu did not call him into the room to meet him.

Just a housekeeper came out to send him off: "It's getting late today, Langjun Ye, please come back first, please hurry up tomorrow."

He was sent away like this. Apart from filling a lot of tea, he didn't even give Ye Chang a piece of tea.

After Ye Chang left, the butler returned to Yuetang. Li Linfu was sitting there looking at the official document, while Tengkong stood behind him and gently tapped his back.

"Why are you leaving?" Li Linfu didn't even raise his eyes.

"Let's go." The housekeeper replied.

"What does it look like, do you feel resentful?"

"I can't see any resentment."

"Where is that shame?"

"No shame, either."

Li Linfu finally put down the official document in his hand and sighed softly.

He was very optimistic about Ye Chang. His son was mediocre, but Li Xiu still had some vision. However, although he could see the problem, he had no strategy or emergency talent to solve the problem. In order to climb up, he offended too many people. At this point, he could only move forward and not retreat.

Even if you want to stay still... there are great dangers.

"Kong Niang, this guy is unpredictable. I began to wonder if he is a good candidate..." Li Linfu murmured.

"What did Ayehu say? Hun Niang won't get married"

Li Teng gave his father a blank look, revealing the side that Ye Chang had never seen before, pressed Li Linfu's neck hard, and Li Linfu said with a sigh: "Can you want to remove your old bone Aye?"

"Who made Ayehu say it?"

Li Tengkong said this, but his eyes were a little dim, as if he saw the eyes of the insect girl who declared her territory again.

"Kong Niang is the most precious treasure for his father. If he is not a capable, talented and sincere to Kong Niang, he would be worried about his father..."

This is true, but not complete. Li Linfu knew that his family would not be protected after his death. Kong Niang was the most pure and kind, but he could have a perfect egg when he was destroyed. If he couldn't find someone who liked her and could protect her, it would be better to let her become a monk, at least he could have a life without worries.

"Aye, let me ignore you."

"Okay, let's not talk about it... That guy was hungry for most of the day today. Do you think he will come tomorrow morning?"

Li Tengkong hesitated a little: Yes, will Ye Chang come tomorrow?

"It's okay if I don't go. If I haven't gone today, I can't go at all. But since I've been going today, I can't go tomorrow. And I can't go late." Ye Chang returned to the house and Cen Shen asked him about his journey, he replied with a wry smile.

"It's hateful that Li Linfu has abused his power so far, and no one in the court can control him. Li Shizhi and others are not as good as him." Cen Shen was still a little passionate at this time, so he cursed.

Ye Chang disagreed with this treatment, just letting him go for most of the day. Now he has no urgent matters to do in Chang'an. He can return to Liaodong when the court resolves the matter in Jilizhou. Waiting for a long time is nothing. He has also been a master of the country for decades before the face of some grassroots civil servants who are known as public servants.

"I think it's better to dry than not. If I drive me away directly, I might have to escape from Chang'an overnight." Ye Chang laughed and said, "Dian just teaches me some lessons. If you give me enough lessons, it will naturally be fine.

"You can see it openly... When it comes to this, I don't know if you can see it openly." Cen Shen said as he took out a piece of paper and pushed it in front of Ye Chang.

Since he decided to go to Liaodong with Ye Chang, some things must be familiar with in advance. The position Ye Chang gave him in imagination was the secretary of the Jilizhou Tenglian, who was actually responsible for all the official documents between Ye Chang and the court and all the official documents handled by subordinate officials, which was equivalent to a secretary's affairs.

Cen Shen had never done a similar position before, so he needed to get familiar with it. So now Ye Chang began to hand over the information gathered by all parties to him and ask him to make suggestions first.

The paper pushed to Ye Chang was some news from Chang'an City, one of which was pointed out by Cen Shen with a cinnabar pen. Ye Chang looked at it and saw the content. His expression changed slightly, and then he burst into laughter.

"Shiyilang, are you still laughing?"

"Of course you have to laugh, okay, okay." Ye Chang not only laughed, but also overjoyed.

The content of the message made him feel very interesting. Wang Yuanbao took the lead and contacted the wealthy merchants in Beijing and some royal family members and wealthy families, preparing to set up a boat into the sea to find the Aolai country that Ye Chang said.

"Shiyilang, the glass of Aolai Kingdom is of great use to Liaodong and also to you." Cen Shen said anxiously: "Liaodong is now poor in its products. Whether it is food or military armor, it requires a lot of money to buy it. When hiring personnel, I read the book you gave me, and the cost is twice as much as the benefits obtained by Central Plains glass, which is not without a small compensation. Moreover, the glass income is used to pay dividends to the noble ladies in Beijing, which can make us strongly support even though we are in Liaodong..."

These things were not what Ye Chang told him, but he analyzed them himself. Ye Chang was very satisfied when he heard him talk about this. Originally, he thought that the best secretary should be Feng Changqing, the lame man, but Feng Changqing has been reused by Gao Xianzhi and is fighting to death in the Western Regions. Even if he wants to dig, he will definitely not be able to dig it out in a few months. Now it seems that Cen Shen has no shortage of vision and mind, and the only thing he lacks is practical experience.

"Others don't know about this, so I'll just say to Brother Cen." After Ye Chang laughed, he signaled to the guards beside him. The guards knew and went out. Ye Chang lowered his voice: "That Ao Lai Country is nothing."

"What, this is deceiving the king..." Cen Shen stood up in shock, then covered his mouth with his hands and stared at Ye Chang.

Ye Chang's honest confession was also a test for him. Cen Shen was shocked for a moment, then sat down again, thought for a while, and his expression returned to normal.

"You can know about this, but even your wife and children in the family cannot be told, including Zhang Hao... You can meet me honestly. Although Zhang Hao is willing to help me, I can only work with you and not commit crimes with you." Ye Chang said with a smile.

"Yes...I understand." Cen Shen nodded solemnly, and at the same time he was a little happy.

Zhang Hao was quite wise and had promised to help Ye Chang with his help, and he made great contributions to dealing with Li Xiao. Although Cen Shen was his recommender, he was also a little worried while being happy for him. If Ye Chang had a new person and forgot the old person, he would be at a loss. Now Ye Chang expressed his trust in him more, and he was naturally slightly happy.

"Why did this glassware come from? Don't tell me." Cen Shen said again: "If you know less, you will lose the possibility of leaking the secret."

"It's okay, I only hope that glassware can make money for three or five years. Even if someone knows how I get glassware, it will not be possible to make it without three or five years."

This is Ye Chang's true words. He himself knows the glass production process, but from the first year of Tianbao, to the fourth year of Tianbao, he finally researched it. The time spent before and after was more than three years, and the funds invested reached tens of thousands of yuan. Others are starting to do it now, and the time spent will not be shorter than that of him.

However, Cen Shen himself wanted to avoid suspicion, and Ye Chang would not force him to tell him this secret. He just smiled and said, "Besides, I have more than one method to make money. If this time goes well and really becomes a group training in Jilizhou, then I can set up an iron camp. At that time, iron tools will also be a source of wealth. In addition, there is salt..."

"Salt cannot be sold without permission, the court has its own laws." Cen Shen shook his head and said.

"If I sell it to Silla, Bohai, and the Huhu in the depths of the grassland?" Ye Chang laughed and said, "The court rules cannot be controlled there. I want to exchange all the cattle, sheep and horses of the Huhu, so that they can graze for the Han people with peace of mind. I want to use my steel and iron to find a place for my Han carriages."

This was a big statement, but Cen Shen was so excited that his blood was boiling. After responding, he felt the poem excited and began to scratch his head and recite the poem.

Wang Yuanbao's only counterattack against the pressure put on Ye Chang on him was to find Aolai Country. If he could find Aolai Country and not allow Ye Chang to monopolize the benefits of glass, his glazed building has the opportunity to reincarnate, otherwise he would be eliminated in the cruel competition.

It is precisely because of this enlightenment that he has not stopped for a moment in the past few days, running around the wealthy merchants and powerful families, with only two purposes.

"The prince consort invites you to come in and meet you."

Early in the morning, Wang Yuanbao came to Princess Xianyi's mansion. This princess was very pleased by Li Longji back then. Li Longji personally visited her mansion, but since Yang Yuhuan was favored, she has gradually been alienated. Wang Yuanbao's most hope to be moved was of course Princess Yuzhen, but the last time the market happened, Princess Yuzhen had already made Princess Yuzhen take action. Now Princess Yuzhen relies very much on Ye Chang for cotton planting, and Ye Chang has also crossed her to contact Li Longji in the palace directly, so Princess Yuzhen refused Wang Yuanbao for a visit.

And this son-in-law Yang Hui is probably one of the few royal family members who have no interest in Ye Chang at all.

In Wang Yuanbao's information, Yang Hui and Ye Chang had a very disagreement. As for the root of the disagreement, he knew very well. Ye Chang's brother Ye Shu came to Chang'an to serve, but was beaten and killed by the princess's house manager on the pretext of stealing. Later, in order to welcome back his brother's remains, Ye Chang entered the capital for the first time that time. The princess's house manager inexplicably lured and killed the bandits.

Wang Yuanbao only regretted that he had received this news too late. It was after he controlled the market that he occasionally learned from a manager in the market, the former Ranger of Chang'an. It is said that this group of "thieves" were also related to Ye Chang, but because there was no conclusive evidence, it was impossible to accuse Ye Chang.

Now, even if there is conclusive evidence, there are still many accusations of Ye Chang - Ye Chang's revenge for his brother is righteous. With his current influence, some people are talking for Ye Chang, and the greatest possibility is nothing more than a fine to atone for his sins.

Wang Yuanbao just didn't know whether Princess Xianyi understood the relationship between her family and Ye Chang.

After sorting out his thoughts, Wang Yuanbao followed the manager into the residence hall of the princess's mansion. Princess Xianyi's son-in-law Yang Huigao sat on it. When he saw him coming, he nodded to show.

"Wen Wang is not at home to receive blessings, so I don't know what's wrong with me."

Yang Hui's words were very polite, but his attitude was very arrogant. Even if Princess Xianyi was not as favored as before, his status and power had not changed much. After all, he and Li Linfu once stood on the same front.

"The villain came to pay homage to the prince-consort, and there was something I wanted to ask the prince-consort for help." Wang Yuanbao straightforwardly: "The villain wanted to build a ship to visit Aolai country, but the court rules, and the people were not allowed to build sea boats and go to sea..."

"Aolai Country? Wang Weng is already rich enough to rival a country, and he is still thinking about the treasures of Aolai Country?"

"More than a hundred pieces of glassware make a profit of 100,000 yuan, which is only a place in Chang'an." Wang Yuanbao lowered his head and said, "From the auction situation that day, the villain estimated that there is no problem selling 500,000 yuan of glassware in Chang'an City a year. Luoyang is not inferior to this number, and there are also prosperous places such as Bianzhou and Yangzhou. If you can sell it to the Western Regions, this one alone will have an annual income of 2 million yuan. The villain claims to be rich and can compete with the country, but in fact, the foreign powers make the most of these two million yuan. This is enough for the villain to make a fortune."

"Haha, it's not that easy. Let's not talk about where Aolai Country is, how do you fight with Ye Chang?" Yang Hui's voice trembled slightly when he mentioned Ye Chang's name.

When Wang Yuanbao found this, he was a little surprised. Yang Hui seemed to be very afraid of Ye Chang... Why is this?

But he was on the string at this moment and had to fire it. Therefore, he said in a deep voice: "A villain can beat Ye Chang with the help of the princess Yuzhen. At that time, with Princess Yuzhen, the villain beat him in the market. This time, with Princess Xianning, the villain can beat him in the glassware."

"Then why should my mansion help you?" Yang Hui laughed, feeling that Princess Yuzhen was unwise back then. If it weren't for the bad things in the market, how could Ye Chang have lost Princess Yuzhen's profits in this glass incident?

"Because helping me is helping the prince consort." Wang Yuanbao whispered: "The villain learned that Ye Chang's brother is Ye Shu."

Yang Hui's heart suddenly jumped: "Ye Shu? So what?"

"At that time, Yang Fu, the noble mansion, beat Ye Shu to death in the western city. Ye Chang came to welcome the coffin, so he first entered Chang'an."

Wang Yuanbao did not mention the matter that he suspected that Yang Fu's death was related to Ye Chang, so there was no need to mention it at all. With Yang Hui's intelligence, he would think about this.
