A month later.

The Phantom Commercial Building in major cities in Wuwei announced the suspension of electric light sales, on the grounds that all the bulbs in stock were sold out and there was no inventory.

The same is true for the barbarians, but the reason is that the batteries are out of stock.

In other words, if you want to buy lamps or buy bulbs and batteries separately, you must establish a trade route between the barbarian country and the Wuwei country.

Li Jingtian, who had long been accustomed to handling political affairs with electric lights at night, had been worried about this matter for several days.

He asked Ye Changan several times if he could research the light bulb.

Ye Changan's answer is always that:

No, only the Barbarian Branch of the Phantom Trading Company is able to produce electric lights.

This means nothing more than telling Li Jingtian that although the Phantom Trading Company of the Barbarian Kingdom and the Wuwei Kingdom is one, they are actually two commercial organizations that cooperate with each other.

In addition, because the name Phantom is like a nightmare in the Barbarian Country, the development of the Barbarian Phantom Trading Company is much more difficult.

Fortunately, the electric light appeared, and the barbarian masses slowly accepted the Phantom Trading Company.

A few days later, Li Jingtian finally showed the demeanor of a great power and sent an envoy to the barbarian country to negotiate trade routes.

In fact, it's not just because of the electric lights.

Ye Changan wrote a letter to Li Jingtian, revealing that there were still many 'high-tech' in the hands of the Barbarian Phantom Trading Company.

If it is not introduced into the Wuwei Kingdom, it will not take many years for the economy and strength of the Barbarian Kingdom to surpass the Wuwei Kingdom.

As a result, the two old enemies of the Barbarian State and the Wuwei Kingdom rarely went to the negotiation table calmly.

After the talks, the representatives of both sides were full of happiness.

After negotiation, the barbarians opened a hole in the newly established defense line and used it as a phantom trading company to escort goods in and out.

Wu Weiguo also opened a pass.

Although this pass is heavily guarded, it is a good start.

It is foreseeable that in a few years, not only Phantom Trading Companies, but also other trading companies will also carry a variety of goods back and forth through this route.

When the time comes, the Barbarian State and the Wuwei Kingdom will become the largest business partners.

The possibility of war can be minimized.

Later, some people compiled the major events of the past 100 years, and evaluated the trade exchanges between the barbarian country and the Wuwei country as a model and forerunner of the new relations between major powers in the new era.

Phantom Trading Company became the first import-export trading company in history.

Of course, that's all for later.

After the negotiation was reached, Ye Changan immediately ordered to increase battery production.

The Phantom Dart Bureau also continues to recruit team members, responsible for transporting batteries to various parts of the Wuwei Kingdom Phantom Merchant Buildings and Barbarian Countries.

At the same time, the barbarian country also continued to send light bulbs, which were scattered on the southwest border of Wuwei Country and transported to the major cities of Wuwei Country.

At the same time, Ye Chang'an has studied that the cost of raw materials for this battery has also been reduced.

Ye Changan's goal is that ordinary people can also use electric lights.

The first batch of batteries with smaller size, longer lasting power and more stable output were first sold in Qingzhou Phantom City.

Because Ye Changan is the king of Qingzhou Mansion, the price of this new electric lamp only needs thirty taels of silver.

Of course, this price is still not low.

Even rich people don't dare to turn on the lights every day, they only use them at night when they need them.

Of course, problems arise with that.

Because the Phantom headquarters is located in the Phantom City, it is always the first place to buy improved products, and the price is the lowest in the country.

Therefore, many trading companies have come to Phantom Studios to try to purchase in large quantities, buy low and sell high to earn the difference.

In addition, there are many businessmen who think they are smart, trying to figure out the principle of batteries and light bulbs, intending to imitate them, but unfortunately, they all end in failure.

For this reason, Ye Chang'an wrote to Emperor Li Jingtian and popularized something called "patent property rights" for him.

Regardless of whether Li Jingtian understood it or not, in short, he still ordered that anyone who dared to imitate inferior electric lights would be imprisoned.

Anyone who dares to raise prices at will will also be severely fined.

Ye Changan knows that speculators will always exist.

But it doesn't matter, even if someone buys it at a high price, it must be a rich person, and it won't affect his life.

Electric light has also brought about lifestyle changes.

Phantom City, the first all-night restaurant appeared.

Immediately, more and more taverns, shops, and lights were also turned on all night.

Phantom City has become a veritable city that never sleeps.

Naturally, the first night owls were born.

Liu Feihua is one of the best.

Ye Changan also established a new Qingzhou Tourism Management Department, planning to build Qingzhou into a tourist resort.

In the past, the era when everyone would change their faces when they heard the word Qingzhou will no longer exist.

In the blink of an eye, it was the autumn of the third year.

In the third year that Ye Changan came to Phantom City, he had already created more than a dozen products.

Fourth-generation electric lights, third-generation flashlights, bicycles, outdoor hiking outfits, pens...

Every product will cause a sensation in a certain field, and of course, half of the products will be sent to the barbarian country in Chang'an, and they will only be produced in the barbarian country.

The Phantom Trading Company has also become the largest trading company in the Barbarian and Wuwei Kingdoms, with tens of thousands of employees under the trading company.

At the same time, the Phantom Trading Company has made millions of people rich and improved their quality of life.

Late at night, Ye Changan sat by the window on the third floor of the Cuihong Building, and there were already several empty wine jugs on the table.

Liu Feihua walked upstairs, sat down opposite Ye Changan, glanced at the wine jugs, frowned, and said, "Why do you drink so much wine." ”

"By the way, this Phantom City has now become a city that never sleeps, I stay up late every day, this skin has deteriorated, what are you talking about... Mask, when will it be studied?"

Ye Changan shook his head, poured a glass of wine again, and said softly: "Liu Feihua, you have followed me for more than four years, almost five years." ”

"yes, I remember the first time we met..."

"You can go, we don't owe each other. ”

Liu Feihua was stunned for a moment, her eyes were red, "You... What do you mean?"

Ye Changan's face was full of sincerity, and he smiled: "It's not interesting, just to tell you, you don't have to protect me anymore, Chu Jiang has become a six-star master, he can protect me." ”

Liu Feihua held back her tears, forced a smile and said, "You must be drunk, I'll send you back." ”

"I'm not drunk!" I said, you can go. ”

"That's okay," Liu Feihua nodded with a smile: "I'll go back to rest first, and you should go home early, don't drink too much." ”

"Don't pretend to be stupid," Ye Changan smiled helplessly, "I don't want to delay you, I... It's impossible between us, I've always treated you as a sister. ”

Liu Feihua finally couldn't hold back her tears, "Is it just my sister?"

Ye Changan shook his head, "Of course it's not only, I also treat you as a brother, a friend, a confidant, a bodyguard, and an assistant... Hiccup~"

Ye Changan burped, his vision became more and more blurred, and he finally fell on the table.

Liu Feihua wiped her tears, gently helped Ye Changan up, and walked downstairs.

Lin Miaomiao was standing at the top of the stairs and snorting melon seeds, stretched out a hand to stop Liu Feihua, frowned and said, "What's wrong with Ye Changan, drinking like this." ”

"Get out of the way," Liu Feihua glanced at Lin Miaomiao lightly, "In the past three years, you have searched everywhere for evidence of his crimes, have you found it?"

"You better go back to China early, lest your father be angry with you!"

Lin Miaomiao's eyes widened, and her heart flickered, "I want to avenge my brother, I will definitely prove that Ye Changan is also a selfish person, and then, I will kill him!"

Liu Feihua's eyes were cold, and she reached out violently and grabbed Lin Miaomiao's neck.

An incomparably powerful killing intent swept through the entire Emerald Red Mansion in an instant.

Hundreds of people instantly turned their eyes over, and Lin Miaomiao's face turned pale and trembled with fright.

Downstairs, Chu Jiang, who was sitting by the door drinking, changed his face and was full of bitterness, "It turns out that it is already a seven-star combat power, it seems that I will never be the first bodyguard of an adult." ”

"He doesn't care about you, but I, Liu Feihua, am not so generous!" Liu Feihua threw it with one hand, directly throwing Lin Miaomiao to the ground, "Next time you dare to do something to him, I will kill you, send your head back to Wuwei City, and make your father angry to death." ”

The proprietress of Cuihong Mansion hurriedly came up to help Lin Miaomiao, and said with a wry smile: "Lord Feihua, don't be like her, Miao Miao just doesn't understand the rules, but his heart is not bad." ”

"Little girl?" Liu Feihua snorted coldly, "Lin Miaomiao is the daughter of Lin Heru, the prime minister of the dynasty!"

"Wow~"

Downstairs, hundreds of diners who were drinking stood up in an instant.

"What, it's the prime minister's daughter!"

"Lin He is like that dog thief, he is not dead yet!"

"If it weren't for Lin Heru's gang of bandits, would we have used so many years of hardship?"

"My dad, woo woo~ is just be·· Killed by bandits. ”

Lin Miaomiao heard that everyone was doing their duty to their father, and immediately retorted loudly: "Impossible! Those bandits were not raised by my father." ”

"You listen to the wind and the rain!"

"Lin Miaomiao," a young man suddenly stood up, trembling and crying bitterly, "I have always thought that you are a good girl, the most beautiful girl in Wuwei City." ”

"But I didn't expect that you are Lin Heru's daughter. ”

"Do you know, when my old mother was injured by bandits, I went to find the previous governor, not only did I not get help, but he also asked the official to beat me and my mother out of the government, and my old mother swallowed her breath at that time!"

Lin Miaomiao lost her mind.

"Impossible, this is impossible, you are lying to me," Lin Miaomiao lost her soul and rushed upstairs crying, "You all lie to me!"

"Okay~ That's enough, don't say a word," Ye Changan slowly raised his head, patted Liu Feihua's salt gang, and signaled that he could stand.

"Lord Ye!"

"I've seen Lord Ye!"

Ye Changan nodded and sighed softly, "Lin Heru is Lin Heru, Lin Miaomiao is Lin Miaomiao, she is just a girl who doesn't understand anything, don't embarrass her." ”

"In the future, if you need any help, you will go to the local government offices, or the 'Phantom City People's Livelihood Management Office', I, Ye Changan, promise to absolutely do my best to help. ”

"In addition, three years ago, I asked His Majesty the Emperor for 250,000 taels of silver to help some areas of Qingzhou get rid of poverty," Ye Changan looked around and shook his head to alleviate the feeling of vertigo.

"You help me spread the news, as long as it is a person from Qingzhou, who is poor, who can't eat, and who has no place to live, they will go to the official level, and after review, officials from all over the country will come to Phantom City to ask me for money. ”

、

"Lord Ye, I am replacing the people of Qingzhou, thank you!"

"Lord Ye, Ye Qingtian!"

"It is an honor for all the people of Qingzhou to have Lord Ye serve as the king of Qingzhou Mansion!"

Ye Changan nodded and said in a deep voice: "In addition, there is one more thing, I will not send an official notice, you can help pass it on." ”

"That is, starting tomorrow, schools will be built in all towns and towns, and a six-year system of free education will be implemented, and those who study can go to the local government level to serve as school teachers, and receive the same salary as officials every month. ”

After a while, only the staff members of the entire Cuihong Mansion remained, Ye Chang'an, as well as Liu Feihua and Chu Jiang.

Ye Changan rubbed the sun and sat in the lobby, looking a little tired.

Liu Feihua walked lightly to Ye Chang'an, and wanted to help him pinch his shoulder, but Ye Changan avoided him.

"You're fine, if you're tired, just rest for a while, and Chu Jiang and I will help you deal with official business. ”

Ye Changan shook his head and looked at the girls in the Cuihong Mansion, "The school hall in Phantom City has also been built, you can also go and listen if you have time." ”

"Thank you, Lord Ye," a girl stepped forward lightly with red eyes, "Lord Ye, if you listen to Lord Feihua, take a break when you are tired, don't be tired." ”

Ye Changan waved his hand, got up slowly, and walked towards the door.

Liu Feihua and Chu Jiang silently followed behind Ye Changan, their faces worried.

Since Gong Ping left three years ago, Ye Changan has personally handled all official affairs and managed Qingzhou in an orderly manner.

At the same time, there are also new products to be researched, and there is also practice, and there is very little time for rest.

Liu Feihua and Chu Jiang often saw Ye Changan suddenly wandering, his eyes glazed, as if he was thinking about someone.

Liu Feihua suddenly asked softly, "Are you homesick?"

Ye Changan nodded, and suddenly turned, "Do you know the temple?"

"Temple?" Liu Feihua nodded, "The temple is a legendary existence, no one has ever seen it, and legend has it that there is the most powerful existence in this world in the temple. ”

Chu Jiang also said solemnly: "Legend has it that everyone in the temple raised their hands and the sky and the earth cracked, and when they opened their eyes, the moon rose and set. ”

Ye Changan nodded, "My name, now the entire Barbarian Kingdom and the Wuwei Kingdom know it." ”

"Everyone knows it," Chu Jiang smiled, "The prestige of the adult is known to all the cities, and almost every storyteller will tell the story of the adult." ”

"That's good, that's good~"

Ye Changan turned around and continued to walk forward, "I hope that after they come, they will be able to hear my name." ”

This night, Ye Changan fell asleep very deeply.

Lin Miaomiao, too, finally gave up, and at dawn, she lost her soul and went on the road and returned to the national capital Wuwei City.
