The strong smell of Chinese medicine made Ye Chang almost sneeze.

"Shiyilang, you are here." Li Xiu looked haggard and hurried out to greet him, with a much more enthusiastic expression than before.

That was natural. Li Linfu insisted on going to Lushun to support his elderly care. They had to follow him as sons. Lushun was Ye Chang's territory. Even though he had not been to Liaodong for a year, his reputation and influence still did not decline there. Therefore, when they arrived in Lushun, they still needed to rely on Ye Chang.

In addition, they were also quite curious about the "immortal medicine" that Ye Chang was always seeking.

"Why did Dalang come to welcome him... How are your father-in-law doing now?" Ye Chang asked.

"Oh...you follow me." Li Xiu knew that the main business was important, and he didn't say nonsense, so he led Ye Chang into it.

But to Ye Chang's surprise, they did not follow the smell of medicine, but moved around the mansion and went to a secret yard before slowing down.

"Adults are very suspicious after they are sick. They often change their residences several days and get the housekeeper in their homes, but they don't know where he is." Li Xiu didn't hide anything from Ye Chang and whispered.

This is the result of doing too many bad things. Although Li Linfu is a capable minister, he is also a traitor. He has controlled power for so many years and has deceived many people. He can be said to be full of enemies.

"Who is here?" Li Xiu spoke in a low voice, but he was still heard by Li Linfu in the room. Li Linfu roared suddenly: "Who is it, Dalang, who are you talking to?"

"It's my sister-in-law who is here, I'm here to greet you." Li Xiu answered hurriedly.

"Shiyilang is here? Shiyilang, come in quickly, come in quickly... OK, OK, Dalang, you go pack your things immediately, within three days, we will leave Beijing."

Obviously, the fundamental reason why Li Linfu delayed time in Chang'an City and did not leave for a long time was that he was waiting for Ye Chang.

Ye Chang calmed down, walked past the threshold, and entered the house.

The room was not very dark, and two horse lanterns were hung on the wall - this was Lushun's product, but now it was only used as a luxury product. Because the glass cover was used, the lamp oil used was also vegetable oil. Seeing these two lamps, Ye Chang remembered what he had always forgotten. It was time for someone to search for oil near Yan'an for another lifetime.

"Ye Chang has seen his father-in-law." Looking at Li Linfu lying on the couch, Ye Chang saluted.

No matter how complicated the relationship between the two is, no matter how much selfish Li Linfu has, he is always Li Tengkong's father. Li Tengkong really has nothing to say when he is with him, so he always has to maintain minimum respect for Li Linfu.

"Shiyilang, it's good that you are here..." Li Linfu looked around: "You all go out, only Shiyilang is here."

Because of the stroke, his voice was a little vague. It was pretty good to see his spirits. However, in this summer, he was still covered with a quilt and his body was weak.

"Father-in-law's body..."

"I know my body, this time I will not be able to get better." Li Linfu said with difficulty: "If I die in another place, I can still protect Dalang and his brothers. If I die in Chang'an, I am afraid that Dalang and the others will be destroyed by the clan. Among the disciples, only Luo Xibing or nostalgia, and the rest of them will try to protect themselves if they don't take any harm to the wrong person..."

Ye Chang pursed his lips. Although Li Linfu fell ill, he was not confused about people and things at all.

"In the past two years, I have placed you in Yunnan. I have not summoned you to return to Beijing. I am also thinking that you will keep a distance from me. After all, the son-in-law is not a son, and you have the means to protect yourself. If you keep you, you will save Dalang and his brothers..." Li Linfu said again.

"The son-in-law understands."

"After I go, Yang Zhao is in great power, and countless people will surrender to him. Be careful."

"After this matter, my father-in-law still hides something. My father-in-law must have a backup plan... Why not teach me?" Ye Chang said.

He didn't believe that Li Linfu would wait for death. No one could believe Li Linfu's nature except himself. How could he really put all his hopes on him alone?

Li Linfu looked at him: "What do you think?"

The father-in-law and son-in-law were used to intrigue. Even in this case, both sides did not forget to take the exam secretly. Ye Chang looked behind him and said with a smile: "I wonder where Lu Qi is at this time?"

Li Linfu's pupils suddenly shrank, and his forehead felt a little sweaty.

Two years ago, shortly after Ye Chang went to Yunnan, Lu Qi turned against Li Linfu and secretly defected to Yang Zhao. Some of Ye Chang's measures on the border were boycotted by Yang Zhao, which was largely because Lu Qi secretly informed him. However, Yang Zhao did not trust Lu Qi, who first betrayed Li Shizhi and then brought back Li Linfu. Moreover, Yang Zhao now has many people in his hands, and he doesn't look down on such a mere sixth-rank official.

Therefore, Lu Qi has almost disappeared from the political arena of Chang'an City, and some people even think that he has been secretly killed by Li Linfu.

"If there are no foreign enemies, Yang Zhao will first eliminate Chen Xilie. Chen Xilie is greedy and cowardly, and is not his opponent. It will collapse in just one or two years. From then on, Yang Zhao will do his best to deal with me, but if there is an foreign enemy who is more dangerous than me..." Li Linfu said slowly.

Lu Qi's rebellion with him was intentionally arranged by him, and it was also intentionally arranged by him. This chess piece was prepared when Li Shi died, and it was just a fall in love two years ago.

Where the final move is...

"Prince?" Ye Chang asked in a low voice.

Li Linfu left Beijing and could still restrict Yang Zhao's power. Only Gao Lishi, but with Gao Lishi's fence-bearing personality, it was absolutely impossible to take the initiative to play against Yang Zhao. At this time, someone must make Yang Zhao feel threatened. The best candidate was originally Chen Xilie, but Li Linfu and Chen Xilie have worked with him for many years and know that this person has no talent and no bones. Since he does not have the talent to confront Yang Zhao, he does not have the courage to take power.

Since this is the case, then the candidates are the Crown Prince Li Heng, Li Linfu's old enemy, and mortal enemy.

No one would have thought that Li Linfu actually wanted to help Prince Li Heng out to restrain Yang Zhao. In the general idea, Li Linfu tried to shake Li Heng's position for many years. Li Heng and Yang Zhao joined forces to overthrow Li Linfu was the most normal choice.

"Since I have retired, I do not pose a threat to the crown prince. Only Yang Zhao can pose a threat to the position of the crown prince. The only one who can pose a threat to the position of the crown prince is favored. If she has a dragon seed, does Yang Zhao support her nephew or protect Li Heng? Is it necessary to think about it? Even if the saint has considered it for a long time, the imperial concubine cannot be conceived. There are not many young princes in the palace, and the empress is surrounded by a few words, and the empress adopts one or two of them by her side..."

Ye Chang looked at Li Linfu's dim eyes with a ghostly light like a ghost fire, and was speechless.

When the old traitor was over, he still had this ability, and he plotted all Li Longji, Yang Guifei, Prince Li Heng and Yang Zhao.

If his plan is really implemented, Yang Zhao will not have time to deal with Li Linfu. The first thing he needs to do is to shake the crown prince Li Heng's throne.

Similarly, Prince Li Heng was busy securing the reserve position, so how could he take Li Linfu, who was no longer threatening, to heart? Under Li Heng's plan, he could have come to trouble for Li Linfu's descendants after he officially ascended the throne.

"If this is the case, it can be protected for five to ten years." Ye Chang whispered.

"Haha" Li Linfu chuckled twice, and Ye Chang immediately realized that this old traitor was still holding a backup plan.

No matter who wins Yang Zhao or Li Heng, Li Linfu still has a card in his hand that has not been turned out. This card may overturn Yang Zhao and Li Heng's winner again.

Who is this card?

Ye Chang felt that it was unlikely that he would be this card, and there should be someone else.

"In the past few years, what have you done well? The court has gradually become unable to do without you. Military merits are rare in the court. If you have to endure for a few years, it may not take long before the Tang Dynasty will have a prime minister in his thirty years old."

Ye Chang is twenty-six years old this year, and it is only four or five years since he was over thirty. When Li Linfu talked about this, he couldn't help but feel a little jealous. He was only after middle age before he was the prime minister, and he was suppressed by Zhang Jiuling and others for a long time.

"Don't worry, my father-in-law goes to Lushun. I will make arrangements there. The climate of Lushun is just a little colder than that of Chang'an. In recent years, the population has grown very fast. Although it is not as crowded as Chang'an, there are nearly one hundred thousand...

During the sixth year of Tianbao, Liaodong completed its first population registration. More than 174,000 Han people were registered, mainly concentrated around cities such as Lushun, Jian'an, Qingnipu, Shirenwang, Shicheng, and Beishacheng. However, after four years, the population of Han people in Liaodong exceeded 350,000, which doubled. Among them, about 100,000 were new immigrants from various dynasties in the Central Plains, and more than 70,000 people, including Han slaves who fled from Liaodong and Han people who were naturalized by various ethnic groups. In addition, there are more than 100,000 people in Silla, Goguryeo, Shiwei, Xi, Khitan, etc., with a total population of nearly 500,000. As the largest city, Lushun is also the center of economic, political and educational, and the population living in exceeded 100,000 in one fell swoop.

Ye Chang liked the planning of Chang'an City very much, and this kind of urban layout of the market and alleys was moved to the planning of Lushun. Therefore, there are now three cities in Lushun, east and west cities and north cities, and nine houses such as Lushun, Duli, Tang'an, etc., with many business and travel. In terms of prosperity, it is no less than the big cities in the mainland.

"So Eleven has troubled me... Don't worry, although I can't get well, I won't be buried so early. Yang Zhao dares not do everything to you in a short period of time."

Having said that, Li Linfu finally felt a little tired. He waved his hand and signaled Ye Chang to leave. After all, after the stroke, he was unable to move. Although he followed the doctor's advice and was cleaned and wiped every day, there was always a strange smell.

He didn't want his weak side to be exposed in front of Ye Chang's eyes.

After Ye Chang withdrew, he saw Li Xiu waiting in front of the door, looking like he was about to say something but stopped. Ye Chang laughed and said, "If Dalang has any instructions, just keep in mind. The whole family doesn't have to see you."

"I'm afraid it's hard for us to return it again after leaving Chang'an this time... Since we have to be in Lushun's strengths, the house is narrow there..."

Although he was not an official, he knew that his family would almost never come back after leaving Chang'an this time. His official position has not been cancelled yet, but after arriving in Lushun, he was afraid that the edict of dismissal from office would come. If he had no official position and had to live in the mountains and live in vain, he felt a little uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Li Tengkong wanted to help Ye Chang, and Li Linfu's children invested a lot of money at the Anton Chamber of Commerce. With the annual income, they were a little frugal and could support the whole family. However, their luxury life is now, I am afraid that I will not pay it back.

"Dalang, don't worry, I have a few... Two years ago, I started building a mansion in Lushun. Although it is not as big as the house in Chang'an City, it is not much smaller. Moreover, I chose a valley outside the city to build a villa villa. If I get tired of living in the city, I can go to the villa villa villa for some breath."

"So much trouble is Shiyilang, but... I just heard that it is very difficult to buy and sell land in Liaodong. I wonder if Shiyilang can find a way to buy and leave us a farmhouse and leave thousands of acres of land?"

"Da Lang was joking. How much future is the land in a year? Only those newly arrived refugees in Lushun think about buying land." Ye Chang did not refuse directly, but smiled: "If my father-in-law and uncle live only on the land, would I still dare to praise myself for the financial management economy? I have my own arrangements... Da Lang should not rush to say no, I know you don't want to take advantage of me for nothing. This arrangement requires you to pay. You will hand over the money you are planning to buy land to Kong Niang. I will run a workshop with you and I will have a 100,000 yuan a year."

One hundred thousand coins were nothing to Li Xiu, who had seen a lot of money, but he knew very well that Ye Chang was expressing his attitude and asked them to invest money in industry and commerce. Li Xiu also read Ye Chang's Theory of Wealth of the Country, and naturally knew that Ye Chang was very dissatisfied with using all the money to buy land and buy houses.

"After all, the land and house are the foundation, and can be passed down to descendants."

"The industry can also be passed down to the descendants, and it is not inferior to the land and houses. If you are not willing to invest in a workshop, you can also consider opening a business or a store." Ye Chang said: "If you don't say anything else, just buy a ship, and travel to Lushun to Silla and then to Japan every year, the net profit will be hundreds of thousands of yuan."

"The wind and waves on the sea are very strong, and there are often accidents, but I dare not interfere in this matter. But the workshop... What is the workshop for Shiyilang?"

"Clock."

"What's that?"

"You will know that the clock in the future will be like a screen, and all wealthy families must prepare it." Ye Chang said

After the useful gears were finally made, Ye Chang then put the manufacturing of the clock on the agenda. The importance of the clock is not only reflected in the timing, but also in navigation. In order to create a pocket watch suitable for navigation, it is inevitable to accumulate experience with a stupid, stupid and heavy clock before.

"Since Shiyilang said so, then according to Shiyilang's words..."

Li Xiu wanted to ask again, but at this moment, he heard someone outside say, "Chief Zhong is here?"

"What's the matter?" Ye Chang asked.

"The saint summoned Ye Zhongcheng to Xingqing Palace to meet him." The visitor was a manager in Ye Chang's family and said outside the courtyard.

Ye Chang and Li Xiu both felt a stern. Ye Chang had just returned to Chang'an today. He originally thought he would have to wait two or three days before Li Longji met him, but he never thought that Li Longji could not wait.
