It's March, the grass grows and the warbler flies, and the air is warm and the water is warm.

A group of people in fresh clothes galloped on the field of Bochang County, Beihai County.

At this time, the green seedlings have grown, and these people are riding in the field, stepping on the green seedlings, but everyone bends their bows and releases eagles, only cares about hunting in the field, and does not care about these green seedlings at all.

"Li Gong is a high-roller, and he is still so vigorous in his old age" One of them is immortal, outstanding, squinting, and very appreciative of the authenticity.

"Too white...... I feel a little ......."

"Why, if you have something to say, Zimei, don't spit it out"

"Li Gong is riding in the field, I'm afraid there is something wrong, right?"

"Don't worry, Li Gong is good, although he is older, his actions are not inferior to you and me."

"Hey...... I'm not worried about Li Gong's skills, but these young seedlings. ”

"Huh...... Zimei said that if these seedlings are trampled on, how can the people live in peace? ”

It was Li Bai and Du Fu who spoke, and after glancing at the worried Du Fu, Li Bai laughed again: "However, Zimei, you just have to rest assured, Li Gong has his own opinions, and the people here must have been compensated."

Du Fu still felt a little weird in his heart, but seeing that Li Bai was in high spirits, he finally didn't speak.

He felt a little sorry in his heart, Gao Shi didn't come with them because he was going to Jiannan to take up his post, if Gao Shi was there, he might be able to persuade one or two. Others speak softly, and they are not very valued by the "Li Gong", and although the "Li Gong" attaches importance to Li Bai, Li Bai is like him, he is a jumpy character, and he will not persuade at all.

"Li Gong" is Li Yong, the guard of Beihai County, a famous man of the time, and his reputation is high. Looking at this old celebrity who was nearly seventy years old but still refreshed, Li Bai's heart was full of envy.

The big husband should be like an ear, famous all over the world, fresh clothes and angry horses, and mellow wine and beauty.

"I remember that Ye Shiyi Lang once joked that the ambition of the eldest husband's life should be to be drunk and lying on the knees of a beauty, waking up to take charge of the world, and Li Gong is close to this"

"It's a pity that you and Ye Shiyilong have not caught up with Ye Shiyilong's right pass," Du Fu said with great regret.

He missed it with Ye Chang and others, and when Ye Chang left for the west in June last year, he returned to Luoyang in the east, which has always been a regret in his heart.

"Don't worry, Ye Shiyi's temperament, I'm afraid that I can't bear the loneliness, and sooner or later I will come out to make trouble. He is not the temper of the imperial examination, and meritorious service in the frontier is a step into the body. ”

Li Bai, who was half ridiculous, made Du Fu a little helpless, and at the same time began to hesitate a little in his heart, is it correct for him to devote himself to the path of the imperial examination, maybe like Ye Chang and Li Bai, another road to heaven?

At this moment, everyone applauded, but it was Li Yong who shot a fox, and the hound next to him flew out and brought the fox back.

Watching the servant clean up the rabbit, Li Yonglang smiled and looked around, and found that Li Bai and Du Fu were not around, so he turned his horse over: "Li Taibai, what are you talking about with Zimei over there, today is for you, I am only hunting here, and I have never seen your archery skills in Longyou."

"I'm talking to Zimei about Longyou." Li Bai hurriedly said, but he was afraid that Du Fu would really talk about the green seedlings in the field, which would sweep Li Yong's interest.

"Oh?"

"Remembering the ...... with Ye Eleven"

When Li Bai talked about Ye Chang, he realized that something was wrong.

Li Yong's expression suddenly became cold, and his eyes were also cold, with unkind intentions.

"This Ye Eleven...... Recently, his name has been thunderous. Li Yong said slowly, but interrupted Li Bai's words.

"Ye Shiyi is really extraordinary, not comparable to ordinary vulgar streams." Li Bai only said that Li Yong was very interested in Ye Chang, and immediately said: "The art of economy, I'm afraid there is no match in the world." ”

Li Bai knows a little about Li Yong, this person is very good at yellow and white things, poor and luxurious, and even does not hesitate to reach out to the public treasury to meet his luxurious life. About 20 years ago, he was impeached by the then Prime Minister Zhang Shuo for embezzlement of public funds from the government treasury, and almost died. So Li Yong was only demoted, while Kong Zhang was exiled to Lingnan and finally died in exile.

But Li Yong did not learn a lesson from this incident丨 is still good at speaking, always thinking that he is the talent of the prime minister, and he does not know how to restrain himself. Although he is a corporal of Lixian and has the demeanor of the ancients, his pursuit of money has somewhat damaged his morality.

Therefore, Li Bai did what he liked, saying that Ye Chang was very good at making money economically. He saw that Li Yong seemed to have some disdain for Ye Chang, but he didn't know what the reason for his disdain was.

"Oh, really?" Li Yong really became interested: "This Ye Shiyi is a martial artist...... Xiuwu, by the way, Yuanming Mansion, weren't you cultivating martial arts as a county lieutenant before, do you know how this person is? ”

The one who was asked was Bochang Lingyuan Highway.

Unlike the newly visited Li Bai and Du Fu, Yuan Highway has been in office for two years in Bochangling and is very familiar with Li Yong.

Li Yong is a person...... How to put it, it can be said that he is the kind of person who goes to extremes.

"When Xia Guan was cultivating martial arts, he did have a relationship with this Ye Shiyi Lang." Thinking of Li Yong's expression, as well as the faint rumors, Yuan Highway slowly spoke: "Bachelor Li said that he is good at economics, which is true, but this person is a little like Beihai Gong." ”

"Oh?"

"It's extravagant, and you can't accumulate wealth." Yuan Highway said: "He made friends with Han Chaozong in the capital, I don't know if Beihai Gong has heard of it." ”

Li Yong is the Taishou of Beihai, so the Yuan Highway is called Beihai Gong, or Li Beihai. He nodded and said, "I've heard about this, is it the time to offer cement?" ”

"Exactly, the benefits of cement are not inferior to salt and iron, Ye Chang said that he would dedicate it, which shows his heroism. Another example is the Jingzhong Ball Market, which is also what it does, and it will be given away...... Ye Shiyi is so arrogant, it is naturally difficult to have any surplus wealth in his hands, just like Beihai Gong. ”

When Yuan Highway said this, he laughed in his heart.

Li Yong nodded and laughed loudly. It's just that there is a light in his eyes, and he doesn't know what he is thinking

"Everyone, it's all over today, and return to the North Sea," he waved.

He returned to Beihai, and the Yuan Highway returned to Bochang, but only a few days later, an envoy from Li Yong came and summoned him to Beihai.

At this time, Beihai, in Weifang in later generations, Yuan Highway only said that there was any urgent official business, after arriving, Li Yong invited it into the government, and said with a smile: "I got the news yesterday, that Ye Shiyi came."

"What?" Yuan Highway couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the news.

"This person is also a famous person in the world, a certain has always been a good friend, originally wanted to invite Li Taibai or Du Zimei to invite, but he didn't mean that the two of them had gone to Mount Tai. After thinking about it, I invited Yuan Gong and his party to invite me to do so, what if I didn't listen to Yuan Gong's wishes? ”

The boss has an order, where will Yuan Highway refuse, he is just curious in his heart, how could Ye Chang come here at this time.

"The lower officials should obey their orders, but I don't know where Ye Shiyi is?"

"It's in Laizhou."

Laizhou has always been an important port, adjacent to Qingzhou, hearing that Ye Chang arrived in Laizhou, Yuan Highway was even more strange. Ye Chang came to Laizhou at this time, didn't he hear that he went to Longyou?

At this time, the news was not smooth, and the Yuan Highway was only a district and county order, so I didn't know about Ye Chang's return from Longyou.

"Without further ado, if it's too late, this Ye Shiyi can go, it's a big pity to miss it." Li Yong smiled again: "Yuan Gong, you go." ”

Li Yong was quite polite to Yuan Highway and has always been called "Yuan Gong". Yuan Highway was ordered to come out, and his heart was full of suspicions, but he did not rush to the road, but summoned one of his entourage.

"Go and ask Mr. Shen what the hell is going on." After whispering a few words, Yuan Highway added later: "Don't be stingy with money, we have a rich man to reimburse us this time."

Before the water gate of Laizhou City, there were many people coming and going in the past few days, and there was no other reason than the two sea boats.

The different shape of the sea ship at this time is only one of its attractive points, the most important thing is that the people who come with the ship recruit sailors in Laizhou - as a port, there is no shortage of sailors in Laizhou, and the price offered by the people is not bad, but it is full of thirty percent more than others, which makes many sailors excited.

Even those fishermen, after settling their accounts, also felt that it was more cost-effective to work as sailors on these two ships.

"Is there really such a thing?" In front of the Xie Family Restaurant in Laizhou City, the fisherman Bian Ping put down his fish basket: "Don't coax me to the shopkeeper"

"What do you lie to you, you just say that it was introduced by our Xie Family Restaurant, and we will definitely let you in" The shopkeeper smiled and said: "I won't hide it from you, someone said it, I will introduce a person, if you can use it, you will give me half a piece of money as a thank you gift." ”

Bian Ping heard this, and couldn't help sneering: "Shopkeeper Xie, you are ...... Why does So-and-so feel like a Silla maid who has been sold? ”

"If you don't believe it, forget it, people only recruit sixty plumbers, and there are not a thousand or seven hundred plumbers in Laizhou, and there are no less than one of you."

Hearing what the shopkeeper Xie said, Bian Ping was a little suspicious, but he didn't see it, not far away, several men with purple and black faces blown by the sea breeze looked at each other.

"Shopkeeper, there is something to worry about" Without waiting for Bian Ping to leave, one of these men stepped forward and said.

"Oh, what does Lang Jun command?"

"Some of them are all water workers, originally came here with Mingzhou maritime merchants, but the master was harsh, and abandoned me to be equal to Laizhou, unable to return to his hometown, and now he is no longer entangled, and he is looking for a job, I don't know who this recruiter is also? Can the shopkeeper recommend us to work for him? ”

"Ahh

Shopkeeper Xie hesitated a little, looking these people up and down, their appearance was quite evil, but at this time, the characters on the sea, almost all of them were like this, and the more they looked like this, the more it proved that they were indeed from the water workers.

"This recruiter is a Xiuwu man from Henan Province, surnamed Ye ...... said that he wanted to go to the sea to find immortals, do you dare to go? ”

"Go to sea to find immortals? Our brother has eaten salt water in the sea for twenty years, but we have not seen any fairy ......," muttered one man.

That Ye Langjun also said that it is not a day's work to seek immortals, and at the beginning, he only went to sea for three or five days and returned. Now recruiting water workers is just teaching his own domestic servants to learn how to sail, and when he really seeks immortals, he is not willing to bring outsiders there."

Bian Ping heard this, and couldn't help but move, he thought he was a liar who abducted and sold people, but now it seems that he is a man from a big family. You might as well go and see it yourself, even if you don't work for the other party, it's good to see it with your own eyes.

"Thank you shopkeeper ......"

Before he could speak, he was squeezed to the side by one of the men, and then the leader of the group said enthusiastically: "Shopkeeper Xie, since this is the case, we are willing, we are willing to work and ask Shopkeeper Xie to introduce us and others."

Shopkeeper Xie was a little hesitant, it is not a simple thing to be a middle-aged person at this time, if something goes wrong, he must also take responsibility. After thinking about it for a while, he couldn't let go of everyone's half-run introduction fee after all, his small restaurant made a few times a day, and introducing these people was almost a day's income

"It's okay for me to be this Chinese, but you have to have an explanation for your origin, name, and what you have done, otherwise that Ye Langjun will come to ask me, how should I reply?"

"That's nature, that's nature, my name is Wu Dahai, these are my brothers, Wu Dajiang, Wu Dahe, Wu Dadi, Wu Dajiao......"

He clicked it in one breath, and the shopkeeper only felt that his eyes were spent, and the names of these people were very earthy, and they always sounded a little weird. Shopkeeper Xie secretly wrote it down, and then called a guy to watch the restaurant, and led the Wu family brother to the water gate.

After walking more than a dozen steps, he found that in addition to the Wu family brothers, Bian Ping also followed, and the shopkeeper Xie turned around and smiled: "Bian Qi, aren't you afraid that those people are liars, what are you doing here?" ”

"Hehe, I have to come and see, relying on fishing to sell you this black-hearted shopkeeper, I can't even touch a woman in my life."

"Say a certain black heart? You are the one with a black heart, you deserve to be poor and single"

"You're not black-hearted, why do you want to be one of these outsiders, but you don't care about me, a fellow countryman?"

The two of them quarreled all the way, although they laughed and scolded, but they were never really angry. When I got to the water gate, I looked out and saw two shiny ships parked on the pier.

Both ships are identical, one mast and one mid-mast, the mast pattern is almost bizarre, and the sails on them are soft sails, not the usual hard ones. The brothers of the Wu family were all amazed, only Wu Dajiao was a little regretful: "This boat is still a little small...... Where can you use sixty people, unless it's an oarsman? ”

"You care about him so much, as long as you recruit people, then it will be good." Wu Dahai said impatiently: "The size of the boat is just right, it's too big, and we may not be able to row it." ”

Bian Ping glanced at them, sixty people were divided into two boats, each boat had thirty people, plus the self-brought sailor surnamed Ye, where was there a big boat that dozens of people couldn't row, unless it was a sailor's giant ship

"Ye Langjun, Ye Langjun"

Bian Ping was pondering the meaning of Wu Dahai's words, and saw Shopkeeper Xie trotting a few steps and smiling towards a young man. This young man was about the owner of the ship, and he looked less than twenty years old, but his face was extremely tender, and he was obviously the son of a noble family with a big business, so he had so much money to toss for someone of his age.

"Shopkeeper Xie, what's more expensive?" Ye Chang looked at the shopkeeper Xie who was rushing and said.

"Naturally, I recommended someone to Ye Langjun," Shopkeeper Xie smiled.
