Wang Tianyun had his own calculations in his mind. From Ye Chang's tone over the years, he could hear that Ye Chang had no intention of staying in Jiannan for a long time.

And the current Jiannan Jiedushi Yang Zhao will not stay in Jiannan for a long time. Then, Jiannan will have a lot of space left when he arrives.

After hearing his request, Ye Chang just smiled: "Ge Luofeng is already brave enough, and what she wants to do now is no longer a head-on battle."

Wang Tianyun was surprised. Seeing Ye Chang start eating again, he didn't dare to say anything. After Ye Chang finished eating, he rode his horse and took the generals out of the camp.

They didn't go much far, Ye Chang pointed to the southwest through the horse whip and said, "You see this place, thousands of miles of fertile land, planting and cultivating, and there is no worry about the food of 100,000 people."

Others didn't understand what he meant, Li Bai was the most reckless. He suddenly thought of something and was shocked: "Do you want to build a city here?"

"That is, if I use the strategy of dividing land in Liaodong and immigrating from Shu to the border, do you think this city can be built?

This location is probably where Kunming is located in another lifetime. However, Kunming was built in Tuodong City by Nanzhao, which happened after Nanzhao's rule over this area stabilized. Since Ye Chang was here this time, if he wanted to completely solve the problem of the southwestern border, he would put the construction of Kunming on the agenda in advance.

"Building a city is not a matter of day and night..."

"I know, now I have 30,000 soldiers in my hand, and then there are a large army to help, one man and one stone, and the city has begun to take shape. As for the expansion, it will be left to future generations to handle."

"What the ambassador said is very much."

This southern Yunnan zee is Dianchi Lake, with abundant water and grass, and is surrounded by a rare small basin. Therefore, it is absolutely possible to build a Han city here.

"Brother Taibai, building a city is a merit of being famous in history. Do you want such a merit at your hands or not?"

Li Bai knew his situation very well. At his age, even if his career has been smooth since then, it is unlikely that he will enter the center. Then becoming a prince in history has become his political pursuit. He heard Ye Chang say this and he was excited: "What do you mean?"

"What should I do about this city? I will leave it to Taibai to handle it, how about it?"

Perhaps it was the influence of another life that Ye Chang had always hoped to help Li Bai. Even though he knew that he was not a suitable person for daily affairs, Ye Chang did not hesitate to invite him to Jiannan. Although Li Bai did not really help along the way, he wrote many poems, most of which were never heard of by Ye Chang.

Even for the many magnificent poems left by Li Bai, Ye Chang felt that it was worth it to bring him.

"Really...and me?"

Li Bai was not stupid, and Ye Chang's distrust of his actual ability was very clear in his heart. He could not help but stutter, pointing to the tip of his nose and said, "Is it really me?"

"That's right, please help Cai Zhihua," Ye Chang said.

"Where is money and grain? If there is enough money and grain, I will build this city." Li Bai took a deep breath and said firmly.

"The money and food will arrive soon."

"It will arrive soon?" Everyone looked at each other.

Cai Ming next to him couldn't help but snuck, "Ambassador, this... the military's food and salary should not be misappropriated."

"How can we achieve success by relying solely on military food and pay?" Ye Chang laughed: "Zhihua just worry and will never misappropriate military food and pay."

"That's the only way to build a city with these soldiers who carry the stones?"

"Not that, the biggest role of the sergeant is still in combat. I will divide the sergeant into three parts, one continues to advance westward, one helps build a city, and the other rests, and rotates every two months." Ye Chang said.

"That manpower?"

"Of course, the local people will bear it... Zhihua, don't rush to advise, don't worry, I am not forcing them to serve, but by voluntary means that anyone who comes here can get money and food."

When Cai Ming heard that he wanted to use local people to build a city, he became anxious. There were few Han people and many barbarians near the southern part of Yunnan. Even some Han people were also barbarians. If they were forced to enlist them to serve labor, these people would inevitably collude with the barbarians and even resigned to the imperial edict of the Tang Dynasty.

But Ye Chang seemed to see that he wanted to persuade him, and he spoke out his method first.

Giving money and grain cannot completely solve all problems, but the problem may not be so sharp and intensified, but this also creates new problems: where does money and grain come from.

"Are you really enough money and food here?" Cai Ming asked.

"Just worry, if you say something else may be problematic. If you involve money and food, Ye Shiyi will not be able to do anything," said Li Bai next to him.

His eyes were shining, as if he had guessed something.

"It seems that Taibai has confidence in me."

"I already know how you did it." Li Bai stared at Ye Chang: "Shiyilang, you are so strong in your grasp of people's hearts... you are truly unparalleled in the world. Especially for the hearts of merchants... I really admire you, admire you."

When he talked about "businessmen", Ye Chang knew that Li Bai really understood his plan.

A few days later, in Chengdu, Yang Guozhong's Mansion.

Since he arrived in Chengdu, Yang Guozhong has been in a very bad mood. He wants to return to Chang'an every day, but he understands that as long as Li Linfu is in Chang'an for one day, he will not think that he will go back so easily.

Every few days, he would send a letter to Chang'an. These letters did not go through the Ministry of War, but were sent directly to the Li Longji case through the channels of the Yang sisters.

Yang Yuhuan and the Yang sisters also took every opportunity to recall him back to Chang'an.

The fact that Yang Zhao was kicked out of Chang'an by Li Linfu was a big blow to the Yang sisters. The powerful people who had originally retreated from them now have the courage to compete with them.

"It's really nonsense"

Yang Zhao, who was in an upset mood, threw away the official documents in his hand and cursed twice.

The servants around were all angry and dared not breathe, and the minor official who submitted the documents was even more frustrated, for fear of being angry by Yang Zhao.

"Why is the minister angry?"

At this time, the only one who can speak is Xianyu Zhongtong.

Xian Yu Zhongtong and Yang Zhao had an extraordinary relationship. Although Yang Zhao was defeated by Xian Yu Zhongtong, Yang Zhao still kept him in the mansion for his past grace, which was considered a meritorious service.

"Look, you're really messy. He ran to the southern part of Yunnan to build a city... He still thought it was not too much trouble?"

Xian Yu Zhongtong picked up the official document. The official document was sent by Ye Chang. The content was to ask the local people. He learned that there were hundreds of miles of fertile land in southern Yunnan and it was advisable to build a city in Zedong, thinking that it was the cornerstone of the Tang Dynasty's control of Yunnan.

In Ye Chang's plan, two big cities will be built in Yunnan, one in the south of Yunnan and the other in the west of Erhai Lake. The two cities are supporting each other and move to the mainland Han people to move in. Then, with the help of being close to the maturing man who obeyed the Tang Dynasty, they planted sugarcane everywhere and boiled sugar sugar.

"Zedong in southern Yunnan...that is Kunchuan, and west of Erhai Lake...that is Taihe City. These two locations are indeed the most suitable places for farming and living in Yunnan. If you can really get these two cities and comfort the mountain barbarians, then Yunnan will always be a prefecture and county in the Tang Dynasty." After reading it, Xian Yu Zhongtong said with a faint smile.

He served in Jiannan for several years and once launched troops in Nanzhao. These places were not allowed to be seen in pictures.

After hearing what he said, Yang Zhao said dissatisfiedly: "Mr. Xian Yu, do you really think so?"

"The plan is a good plan, but it's a pity that it's just a talk on paper." Xian Yu Zhongtong said a little disdainfully: "Not to mention Kunchuan, just talk about Taihe City. Piluo Pavilion regards it as the capital, backed by Cangshan and Erhai Lake, and supported by the Dragon Head and Dragon Tail Pass. It is the heart of Nanzhao, so how can it be easily obtained?"

"Do you think Ye Chang is not a match for Ge Luofeng?"

"I supervised 60,000 elite soldiers, but I was even killed by the Nanzhao treacherous plan. After a defeat, Ye Chang led only 30,000 troops. What can I do?"

"You don't think about his battle?"

"Of course I'm not optimistic. I heard that he did a lot of things in Liaodong, but this place is not Liaodong, but it's a little cold. It's just a little colder. It's just a little bit colder. It's just a place of miasma, poisonous insects. When I was defeated, nearly half of the soldiers were killed or killed because of miasma. Although there were some mountains in Liaodong, it was not as high as Yunnan's mountains and roads. My Tang sergeants in Liaodong could start fighting, but Yunnan was in no inch flat roads or straight lines. No matter how many troops were, it was useless. The barbarians grew up here, and crossed mountains and ridges were like monkeys..."

What Xian Yu Zhongtong said was still reasonable. He analyzed the advantages of the barbarian army and the disadvantages of the Tang army in an extremely good manner. Yang Zhao, who was in an irritable mood, felt that what he said was reasonable, and this feeling made him even more annoyed: If Ye Chang could not win, wouldn’t it mean that he, the governor of Jiannan, would have to continue to do so?

At this time, he suddenly remembered the situation when Li Linfu did not stop him from going into the water, and even pushed him vaguely.

Perhaps at that time, Li Linfu thought of this. Ye Chang won, and Li Linfu's son-in-law made contributions. Ye Chang lost, and he, the person who recommended Ye Chang, took the blame. He recommended Xian Yu Zhongtong while Xian Yu Zhongtong was defeated, and Ye Chang lost. If this is true, Ye Chang's future will be bleak, and Yang Zhao's great future will also be ruined?

"Stop talking."

"Mr., it doesn't matter if I don't say it, but you have to prepare earlier, I'm afraid that it won't take long to clean up the mess," Xian Yu Zhongtong said again.

He lost for a while, so he naturally didn't want to see Ye Chang win easily, and he felt a little cursed.

"Prepare……"

Before Yang Zhao finished speaking, he heard the sound of rapid footsteps and shouts from outside. Then, a man walked in quickly.

"Sima Cui, what's the matter?"

The visitor was Cui Yuan, the left Sima of the Grand Governor's Office of Shu County. He was originally a clerk of Xiao Jing, a subordinate of Li Linfu. However, after seeing that Yang Zhao had the power to replace Li Linfu, he turned to Yang Zhao's subordinates and gained Yang Zhao's credit. This time, Yang Zhao came to Shu and brought not many servants, so he was one of them.

"Good news, good news" Cui Yuan rushed in with interest and handed a letter from his hand: "Ambassador Ye defeated Zhaoman in Kunchuan, beheaded 3,000 and captured 5,000 alive. Luo Feng, a rebel thief, has retreated from Yining."

"What?" Yang Zhao and Xian Yu Zhongtong both lost their voices.

Just now, Xian Yu Zhongtong was still saying that Ye Chang would be defeated, but in less than a cup of tea, Cui Yuan presented Ye Chang's good news. This sharp situation seemed to be specifically for the sake of hitting Xian Yu Zhongtong's face.

"Impossible, it's unreasonable... Is it a big victory?" Xian Yu Zhongtong murmured, then reached out to Cui Yuan: "Take it with me."

Cui Yuan did not give it to him, but looked at Yang Zhao. After Yang Zhao's permission, he handed over the victory to Xian Yu Zhongtong.

The good news is very simple, it is nothing more than when and where to fight the barbarians, how many beheads and captured, and nothing else is mentioned, which is exactly Ye Chang's usual style. After reading it, Xian Yu Zhongtong sneered: "So that's it, so that's it."

Yang Zhao took over the battle report and started reading it. Cui Yuan there was a little curious: "Don't Mr. Xian Yu know what?"

"I can also make ten or eight copies of such good news in Chengdu." Xian Yu Zhongtong curled his lips: "The barbarians are not so easy to defeat, they are just taking the initiative to make a fuss."

"Ye Chang will not make any mistakes in this matter."

Yang Zhao also read the good news quickly. He heard Xian Yu Zhongtong say this and said something unhappy.

Xian Yu Zhongtong's face turned purple and without waiting for him to say anything, Yang Zhao said again: "I have been dating Ye Chang for many years. Although he has imagined that he is a brilliant move, he will strive to be detailed whenever he involves numbers. If someone else's good news, he will never accurately mark the number to the point where he says he wins, then he will definitely win... OK, okay, just win."

After saying this, Xian Yu Zhongtong's face turned red, white and purple. Cui Yuan wanted to laugh after seeing it, but he didn't laugh.

"Okay, okay, since Nanzhao withdrew from the Southern Yunnan Zhe, at least the construction of the city in the Southern Yunnan Zhe can be started... Haha, Ye Chang is indeed Ye Chang, I will bring him here, it's really right." Yang Zhao read the good news again, and then laughed.

He was the governor of Jiannan. Although he had an appointment before, how could he not distinguish between this great contribution? Perhaps with this good news, Li Longji was very happy and directly promoted Ye Chang to the governor of Jiannan. He could take the opportunity to escape from Shu

"You can start preparing for building a city in southern Yunnan. Cui Sima, you have both military and political strategies. What is needed to build a city? You can arrange everything."

"Wait, Mr., this matter is not easy." Xian Yu Zhongtong said again at this time.

"Why did you say this?"

"The southern Yunnan zee is a wild land, and the people must not be willing to move here. And Ye Chang said just now that as long as the supplies are all merchants, they will prepare for him... Merchants are all profit-seeking people, so how could they take a risk to go to Yunnan to help him prepare for this matter?"

When Yang Zhao heard this, he nodded slightly.

Ye Chang has another way. Unless he is willing to post all the profits of the Anton Chamber of Commerce, how could he attract those merchants to run for him? But if he posts all the profits of the Anton Chamber of Commerce, those Chang'an powerful people who are counting on the dividends of the Chamber of Commerce will immediately turn from his allies to his enemies, and even find ways to take away his control over the Anton Chamber of Commerce.

"Besides building a city thousands of miles away... It's a waste of money and money. I'm afraid the city has not yet begun and the civil war has already been born. Mr. Yang, please be prepared for the change. If Ye Chang insists on his own, I'm afraid of the disaster in Shu, not limited to Nanzhao.

"I reported to the Minister, there were sixteen shopkeepers from outside who asked for a visit, saying that they wanted to help the officers and soldiers collect the land in Yunnan. At the request of Ambassador Ye, they came here to serve."

As soon as Xian Yuzhong finished speaking, such a voice came from outside. Xian Yuzhong opened his mouth wide, and Yang Zhao and Cui Yuan all looked at him with a strange look.
