When Wang Yuanbao was still called Wang Ergou, he was thin and withered, like rotten wood. But the tycoon of more than 20 years has already come together, like a white-faced steamed bun.

He is a cautious man, and over the years he has spent his strength and money on charity and befriending scholars, in order to earn himself a reputation, and at the same time to find some useful backers at critical times.

For example, Wang Jin, after he made a fortune, attached himself to the Taiyuan Wang family, and became the same clan with Wang Wei and Wang Jin's brothers.

It is precisely because of caution that even if he is sure of victory, he also keeps an eye on Liulizhai and other shops in the West Market.

"Jia Mao'er...... Bring someone to meet with Hu Yuanxiang?" Hearing the news, Wang Yuanbao stroked his long beard and narrowed his eyes with a smile.

"How did they get together?" The person in front of him said in surprise.

It was Wang Jin.

Almost after Ye Chang left on the front foot, Wang Jin also left the other business of the eldest princess Yuzhen on the back foot. Although he also hopes to have a relationship with the eldest princess of Yuzhen in Nanshan, Dolara, the huge interests of the ball market make him, a usually lazy person, also diligent.

"But it doesn't hurt to get together, the mage has already said that it only takes 150,000 yuan to hand over the ball market to us and others to take care of. Uncle Wang, in the hands of Ye Chang, a husband and Jia Mao'er and other scoundrels in the market, you can earn 100,000 yuan a year, and in the hands of you and me, you have to earn 200,000 yuan a year, right?"

Wang Jin didn't care about Jia Mao'er, so he turned the topic back to what they were originally talking about. The price quoted by the eldest princess of Yuzhen was actually 100,000 guan, but Wang Jin did not hesitate to add 50,000 guan on top of this - the extra 50,000 guan, of course, would not be given to Ye Chang or Jia Mao'er, it would fall into his private pocket

When he thought of these 50,000 yuan, Wang Jin's heart was hot.

"Lang Jun doesn't know that this city competition is also related to the ball market."

"Oh?"

"The so-called East Gui West Fu, the ball market has been dominated by the West City so far, and the semi-annual general tournament is also held in the West Market, if I preside over the ball market, I will move the general tournament to the East Market, so I must press the West ......Market in the city competition."

A general competition often attracts tens of thousands of spectators, and these tens of thousands of people spend at least half a day, which is a huge benefit for the West Market or the East Market. In the eyes of a wealthy businessman like Wang Yuanbao, he is more interested in the cascading effect behind this.

"In addition, Jing Zhaoyin's cement production is limited, except for paving the streets and supplying the powerful, only a small amount is sold to us, and the west market is only used by part of the new street, but the east market is not at all...... The city competition was won, and Jingzhao Mansion promised that the cement in the second half of the year would be given priority to our East Market. ”

Wang Jin chuckled.

He has also heard a little about this matter, but the reason why Jingzhao Mansion is only for the West Market and not for the East Market is that when the cement was first launched, the East Market waited and watched, but it did not dare to cooperate with the Jingzhao Mansion like the West Market.

He didn't pay attention to cement, it was like salt and iron, it was a monopoly of the imperial court, even if the profits were huge, he couldn't get involved in a short time.

Wang Yuanbao knows the power of cement in Ludao, not only because the cost of paving is much lower than that of slate, but he thinks about it more.

What would happen if a house or even a city wall was built with cement and bricks?

What's more, cement, a new thing, has also helped Xishi attract many foreign merchants and bring more popularity.

"Therefore, in this competition, we must win in the West Market, we can only win, and if we win, we will make a big profit, and if we lose, we will have to recover the impact, and I am afraid that it will cost hundreds of thousands of yuan." When Wang Yuanbao mentioned hundreds of thousands of guan, he couldn't help but feel a little painful.

There are many rumors about his family property, and his most famous business is Liuli Shop, which is also his roots, but he is actually also involved in hostels, groceries, real estate, and granges, which are the bulk of his income. Even so, the annual income of his entire industry is only more than 100,000 yuan.

"Don't you have a chance of winning, it is rumored that even the little ladies of Pingkangfang have been decided by you...... You have great skills, and the tens of thousands of little ladies in Pingkangfang can even say it. ”

There are no tens of thousands of little ladies in Pingkangfang, but there are absolutely hundreds, Wang Yuanbao smiled slightly, he naturally didn't move everyone, but as long as he said the top ones, he would release some rumors. Those little ladies all earn food in Pingkangfang, even if they don't give him Wang Yuanbao face, they are afraid of being banned by their peers.

But after a smile, his brow furrowed again.

To be as successful as he is, he will naturally pay attention to the details, and he glared at the guy who came to report the situation: "Did that person say that who else will meet Hu Yuanxiang with Jia Mao'er?"

"Our people can only look at it from afar, only knowing that Lu Dao is a young Lang Jun, but we don't know who Lu Dao is."

"Young Langjun?" Wang Jin's face suddenly sank, he pondered for a moment, and then said, "It must be Ye Chang!"

Thinking of Ye Chang's humiliation of himself in front of the eldest princess Yuzhen, a cold glint flashed in his eyes: "It seems that Xishi is in a hurry to go to the doctor, and he has found Ye Chang's ......."

At this, he was slightly stunned.

He still knows Ye Chang very well, and he knows that he dreams of immortals, and it is said that the immortal that Ye Chang dreams of is Sun Simiao, the king of medicine, and he also gave Sun Yaowang a day as a dantong.

One day in the sky, one year in the world, Ye Chang followed the king of medicine, and maybe he really became a famous doctor.

Wang Jin, like Wang Wei, believes in Buddhism, and the best thing to do is to build temples and give alms, and it is precisely because of this that he is convinced of the return of karma and the like, and suddenly remembering this incident makes him feel that this is not a good sign.

"Amitabha, Amitabha." After reciting a few words of the Buddha name silently in his heart, Wang Jin decided to help Wang Yuanbao!

"Ye Chang, Ye Shiyilang? If it's him, that's bad!" Wang Jinzheng made up his mind, and heard Wang Yuanbao slap his leg and scream.

Seeing Wang Jin looking over dissatisfied, Wang Yuanbao continued: "I watch Ye Chang act, and he often has a stroke of genius, and he is definitely not Hu Yuanxiang and others. Hu Yuanxiang and I have been fighting for 20 years, but I am just surviving, but this Ye Chang ...... It's hard to deal with!"

"No matter how difficult it is, you have to deal with it!" Wang Jin said dissatisfiedly: "What are you afraid of!"

"There are three key points in the city competition, one of which is the color building, Ye Shiyi can do football plays, can make cement, and it is rumored that he can also divert water from the rainbow canal in his hometown...... I originally invited the best carpenter and bought the most beautiful silk, this color building is a must-win, and now I am afraid that it is dangerous. ”

Hearing him say this, Wang Jin suddenly fell silent.

"And then there's the singer Kabuki...... Ye Shiyi Ya is good at poetry, and the sentence that the sunset is infinitely good, that is, I often love to listen to people sing. If he composes a new song for the Nishishi Lingren, he will ...... on the song."

"You don't have to worry about the tune, I'll ask my brother to write a poem for you." Wang Jinyi waved his hand: "Besides, the song must also be sung, as long as the top lady of Pingkangfang has not been pulled by the West Market, we will win this level, and the most important thing now is the last level." Speaking of which, this time the market is played by your Liulizhen. I. "In the end, it is the glazed artifacts that will decide the outcome - are you sure of victory?"

"On this item, I am completely sure, in the past ten years, the best glass artifacts in Zizhou are almost all in my hands, what they have in their hands, I know in my heart, there is absolutely nothing that can compete with me!"

Hearing that Wang Yuanbao had such a treasure in his hand, Wang Jin's heart moved, and he coveted it: "I don't know if I can let someone see it?"

Wang Yuanbao glanced at him and sneered secretly.

This wolf who can't get enough of it dares to eat fasting and chanting Buddha, but he is more greedy than anyone else!

Thinking so in his heart, he said very politely: "It's not impossible, after the market competition, I will ask Wang Langjun to play with him." ”

Wang Jin laughed dryly, and was anxious, so he changed the topic back.

"The three key points of the city competition, on the color building, we only need to win, in terms of talent, we are seeking to win, as long as these two can win one, plus the treasure in your hand, it can be said that the victory is in hand. Not to mention the talent, I will say that my brother will give new poems, as for Cailou, I think the prince will not have a backhand. ”

As he said this, Wang Jin snorted at the messenger.

Wang Yuanbao laughed and bowed slightly.

Since he bought off the people around Hu Yuanxiang, he could naturally send a steady stream of news from Hu Yuanxiang's side, and if he knew what tricks the other party would have, he could take targeted measures.

"In addition, I have to find something for Ye Chang...... Let him not be too concerned about this. Wang Jin said again: "If you can drive him out of Chang'an City, it will be the best." ”

"I'm afraid this matter is a little difficult, Ye Chang has a very good relationship with Jingzhao Mansion."

"Jingzhao Mansion naturally can't succeed, and someone will want to drive him away...... Where Ye Chang lives, do you know the way, just tell me. Wang Jin thought for a while, and then said with a smile: "I'll find someone to catch him up and guarantee that he has to leave!"

"Oh, there's this guy? Xia Qing Langjun, don't startle the snake, if you alarm Ye Shiyi, let him know that we are paying attention to him, I am afraid it will backfire. ”

"Don't worry, this man...... Absolutely no problem. Wang Jin said with a smile.

Wang Jin really said what he said, left Wang Yuanbao's mansion, went out and called a small servant, commanded a few times, and the little guy swayed to the Golden Immortal Temple in the city on an oil-walled car - this was originally the Taoist temple of the Golden Fairy Princess, after the Golden Fairy Princess passed away, it was taken back by the royal family, and now it is Twenty-Nine Niang taking care of it.

This is also thanks to Ye Chang's blessing, if it weren't for Ye Chang, Li Longji would not have paid attention to the daughter of Worm Niang, who has a very weak sense of existence, and naturally would not have handed over this Taoist temple to her.

The insect girl is young, and the Taoist temple is only nominally handed over to her to take care of, and there are people at the bottom who preside over it, but there is some news that must be reported to her at the bottom.

The little guy walked around in front of the door, and when he saw a little Daogu coming out, he immediately called Xiao Daogu: "This fairy girl, live, live!"

"What is the matter with you,?" The little Dao Gu's eyes widened.

"I heard someone say that if there is news of Xiuwu Ye Shiyilang, there will be a reward if it is sent here, I don't know if it is true?"

"Nonsense, what is Xiuwu Ye Shiyilang...... Wait, you mean, Ye Chang?"

Although Xiao Daogu is not a worm girl, nor is she a close maid of the worm girl, but in this Taoist temple, they are all female crowns, and female crowns are also women, so naturally there is no gossip about one of women's biggest hobbies. When their gossip souls burned, some internal and external secrets were spread.

For example, the titular Guan Zhu Worm Niang, and the Xiuwu Ye Chang who has an infinitely good sunset.

It is said that there is a female crown, after hearing the sentence "The sunset is infinitely good, but it is just near dusk............", she sighed for a long time, and finally said a sentence "This poem is fierce, although Ye Shiyi is smart, he will not live long", but this sentence somehow reached the ears of the insect girl.

The insect girl, who almost didn't ask about anything, was suddenly furious, and she didn't even find an excuse, so she just let the maid slap the girl.

"It's Ye Chang who has an infinitely good sunset."

"You have news of him, is he not cultivating martial arts?"

"I've come to Chang'an, and I just entered Chang'an City today."

"Where?"

When Aunt Xiaodao asked like this, the little guy knew that there was a play, and suddenly salivated and laughed: "Sister doesn't need to ask, people say that if this news comes here, someone will reward it, since there is no reward now, the villain will go back in vain......"

"Tip, tip, you say come and listen!"

Xiao Daogu thought that this news would definitely please the insect girl, so she immediately paid a few pennies to buy cakes with the little girl to eat. Xiao Wu Huan happily took the money, and immediately told Ye Chang's place to listen to Xiao Daogu.

After finishing speaking, he grabbed the reward money and ran, returned to Wang Jin's residence, and told Wang Jin the truth about the matter. Wang Jinda smiled and said: "Well done, well done, not only she will reward, but I will also reward Lang Jun!"

Wang Jin's idea was very simple, let Li Longji come forward and drive Ye Chang away!

At the eldest princess of Yuzhen, after eating Ye Chang's "humiliation", Wang Jin no longer dared to despise Ye Chang in the slightest, so he inquired a lot about Ye Chang. For Wang Wei's sake, the eldest princess Yuzhen did not hide it, especially the matter of Ye Chang and Twenty-nine Niang.

This matter is also the key reason why Ye Chang was given money back, Wang Jin felt funny when he heard it, others made friends with princesses who were loved by Li Longji, but Ye Chang went to get acquainted with a little girl who had almost no sense of existence in the harem, and this little head didn't even have the title of princess!

However, Worm Niang's good impression of Ye Chang, he also secretly remembered that after learning that Ye Chang returned to Chang'an, and it was possible that he would give advice to the Liuli merchants in West City, he suddenly wanted to use the relationship between Ye Chang and Worm Niang to drive Ye Chang out of Chang'an.

In order to see Ye Chang before the Chinese New Year last year, the insect girl also specially asked for a trip to cultivate martial arts, so now I heard that Ye Chang returned to Chang'an, but she didn't go to see her, and she didn't go to the door?

As soon as the insect girl comes to the door, Wang Jin will think about spreading the news to Zhang Yan's side, and when the time comes, Zhang Yan will definitely go to San Lang's side to slander again. Ye Chang was lucky, he could still be driven out of Chang'an City like last time, but if he was unlucky, Li Longji might have directly arrested him and cut off his head.

The more Wang Jin thought about it, the more proud he became, and immediately ordered people to keep an eye on Ye Chang and stay, as long as there was any trouble, he would report him immediately.

He saw this excitement.
