Wang Yuanbao waited in front of Ye Chang's house for two hours, and when he was hungry, he just called a food box in the West Market next to the house, and waited from the morning until the afternoon, only to see Ye Chang come back with more than ten people.

"These people ......"

After seeing these people, Wang Yuanbao's heart trembled.

In addition to being upright, the people who followed Ye Chang were all strong men, and they all showed a sense of toughness between their gestures. What's more, there seems to be something wrong with their expressions when they look at people, judging from Wang Yuanbao's knowledge, only those who have seen bloody killings at the border pass have this kind of expression.

Thinking of the rumors that Ye Chang was recruiting warriors in Liaodong to recover the land of Yizhou, Wang Yuanbao was not surprised that he would have such a man by his side.

"Ye joins the army, Ye joins the army"

Although he was cold in his heart, Wang Yuanbao didn't dare to show it on his face, and he was still far away, his face was full of smiles, he exhaled and snorted at the same time, with his current body shape, it took a lot of effort to be able to reach this level.

Ye Chang glanced over here, and then walked straight to the door as if he hadn't seen anything.

Since Wang Yuanbao came, he made all the preparations, including humiliation. Ye Chang ignored him, he was not surprised, he trotted to keep up with Ye Chang's steps: "Little Lao'er learned that Ye joined the army and made meritorious contributions in Liaodong, so he specially prepared some gifts to congratulate Ye on joining the army."

"Dodge"

Ye Chang still ignored it, and it was one of Ye Chang's entourages who spoke, and directly pushed Wang Yuanbao aside. Wang Yuanbao hesitated for a moment, and when he saw that Ye Chang was about to walk into the door, he shouted in a hurry: "Ye joins the army, if you can join hands with Xiao Lao'er, why worry about the glass not being sold, and the profit is only 100,000 yuan?" ”

Ye Chang stopped when he heard this, turned around, and a smile appeared on his face.

"You mean, working with you?"

"Exactly, the old man's connections and vision are better than Hu Yuanxiang and others, and the old man can not only cooperate with Ye Senjun on the glass, but also the rest of the industry, and can also help Ye Senjun is the ball market, and the old man is also willing to return to Ye Senjun."

"Hehe, ball market...... Speaking of which, Wang Weng, since you mentioned the ball market, I want to ask you, I don't know how much money you have made in the past two or three years in your hands? ”

Wang Yuanbao was slightly speechless.

The ball market is still booming in his hands, but it is slightly inferior to when it was initially controlled by Ye Chang. Its profit has not deviated from the highest level at that time, and the expenditure is even larger than at the beginning, which makes Wang Yuanbao originally thought that the annual income expectation of 100,000 yuan has been greatly reduced.

Even if he went to Luoyang to engage in the Luoyang Ball Market, the situation is like that.

"From the ball market, to cement, to cotton, to glass, no matter which one, the profit is more than 100,000, no matter which one, there is no help from your Wang Weng." Ye Chang sneered: "If I, Ye, want to make money, how can I need the cooperation of an old and incompetent person like you?" ”

Old and incompetent

As soon as these four-word comments came out, Wang Yuanbao suddenly felt that blood was surging upward, and his face burned like fire

He began to start from scratch when he was middle-aged, and if he made a fortune that rivaled the country, Ye Chang's evaluation of him was "old and incompetent"

This is almost a complete denial of the most conceited achievement in his life, he paused, endured the anger again, and said curtly: "Yes, yes, compared with Ye Langjun, I am naturally old and incompetent, without old age, Ye Langjun has also made one big industry after another...... However, the old decay still has some icing on the cake...... Ye Langjun, that Hu Yuanxiang monopolizes the glass quota, and it will inevitably reduce the price, but if the old man joins the ......"

"The money is earned for my share, and it doesn't matter if I earn tens of thousands more or less tens of thousands." Ye Chang shook his head: "Wang Weng, you honestly take over the glass shop and concentrate on playing ball." ”

"Ye joined the army, could it be ...... Don't you want to give me a way for Wang Laohan to live? ”

"Didn't you choose a way out for yourself, Ball Market?" Ye Chang smiled, ignored him again, turned around and left.

Wang Yuanbao, who was a giant to him at the beginning, is now just an old decay, as long as he wants, he can dig his foundation and let his glass shop collapse from then on. Ye Chang has always been open-minded about the unintentional offense of others, but he has always been narrow-minded when it comes to others' intentional calculations. The contradiction between Wang Yuanbao and him is by no means irreparable by these few soft words, and it is not even something that can be made up for by the benefits that Wang Yuanbao can bring.

If it is for the sake of a little profit, to let such people who have calculated him and forced him to move around before returning, does not it mean that anyone who dares to harm him in the future can be let go by him as long as it can bring benefits?

"When I won the ball market, I was old and out of 100,000 yuan...... Ye joins the army, you can't be so ......"

Wang Yuanbao shouted to himself, but Ye Chang had already entered the door, and an attendant behind him stepped forward and grabbed Wang Yuanbao by the neck: "You have gone out of 100,000 yuan, haven't you already got the ball market, could it be that my family Langjun still owes you something?" Son, talk nonsense here again, watch out for your dog's head"

Wang Yuanbao didn't dare to stay any longer, he covered his face with his sleeves, climbed into his carriage in a panic, and left Ye Changdi in general.

He hated and regretted it in his heart, what he hated was that Ye Chang didn't save him any face at all, there was no doubt that what happened here would soon spread throughout Chang'an, and the prestige he had accumulated for many years was afraid that most of it would be ruined because of this; What I regret is that I really shouldn't have been so greedy at the beginning, even if I had a little more affection at the beginning, I wouldn't have suffered today's humiliation.

"At that time...... Who knew that he could get to this point, and he only thought he was a young man with a bit of intelligence......"

Talking to himself, Wang Yuanbao took a long breath, and then closed his eyes.

Wang Yuanbao can be sure that glassware will compete directly with glassware, and if the glass shop cannot also deal in glass, his store will be at a disadvantage compared with other competitors. This disadvantage only took three or five years to remove him from the Liuli business in Chang'an City ⊥.

Do you really want to abandon your inheritance?

"Wang Weng, maybe we can also buy some glassware from those peers." Bei Fu has been following him, and at this time he couldn't help but interject: "At most, give them some price increases, we don't want to make money, we just want popularity"

"Since Ye Chang is determined to settle this old account with me, how can he leave such a loophole? There is no doubt that those guys who are in the same stream as Ye Chang must have agreed to the conditions and will not resell the glassware to us. Wang Yuanbao sighed: "This is absolutely impossible...... Alas"

"How about that, why don't we also send someone to Aolai Country to buy glassware?" Bei Fu was inspired to speak.

Wang Yuanbao slapped his thigh: "What I said is that if we can also import glassware directly from Aolai Kingdom, why worry about Ye Chang's embarrassment?" Maybe we can do the other way around and give him some trouble."

But then he was worried again: "No one knew about this Aolai country before, and only Ye Chang ...... the seaway to go to the Aolai country."

Then he stopped talking, his eyes flashed, and he had another plan in his heart.

Sent Wang Yuanbao away, Ye Chang walked into the house, asked if there was a guest to visit, and then someone smiled and said: "Yes, yes, I don't know if Shiyi Lang still recognizes me as a guest."

Ye Chang heard the voice very familiar, raised his eyes, and couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Why are you?"

This guest had not seen him for several years, and it was Xiao Bailang, the leader of the rangers he had met when he first entered Chang'an

"Why, am I not welcome?"

Xiao Bailang had been sitting in his front yard for a while, he was half-truthfully joking with Ye Chang, Ye Chang stepped forward and grabbed his arm: "Fifth Brother Xiao said this, but it hurt Ye's heart...... Some time ago in Luoyang, Brother Jia also mentioned Fifth Brother Xiao to a certain person"

Xiao Bailang sighed: "I'm ashamed"

He was indeed a little ashamed, although he was born as a ranger, Xiao Bailang was quite ambitious, so after Wang Zhongsi called him to teach football, he almost did not hesitate to put down his career in Chang'an City and ran to Wang Zhonghe's account. At the beginning, Ye Chang had high hopes for him, although he recommended Jia Mao'er to replace him, but after all, he was a little sorry for Ye Chang.

Now that I have come back, I learned that Jia Maoer and Ye Chang have become sworn brothers, and I think that I and Ye Chang met first

"I heard that I was affected by a certain institute, and Brother Xiao is not very happy now?" Seeing him like this, Ye Chang said.

Xiao Bailang was summoned by Wang Zhonghe, and Wang Zhongsi is now in prison, and it is rumored that Ye Chang framed it, so Wang Zhongsi's subordinates have no good face for Xiao Bailang. Xiao Bailang supported it for a year, but he couldn't stay any longer, so he returned to Chang'an. He didn't have an official position in the first place, and when he came back from the army, he didn't have any trouble. Hearing Ye Chang ask, he could only smile bitterly: "Why is it unsatisfactory, this year...... Alas, don't mention, don't mention. Ye Langjun, about Wang Zhonghei, you give me a good word, is it you? ”

Ye Chang frowned slightly, and the smile on his face was put away: "When Brother Shuhan, Fugu Huaien, Li Guangbi, Li Sheng and others intercepted me outside Chang'an City and asked me about Wang Zhonghei, I told them at that time that it had nothing to do with me, and they didn't believe it...... When you ask me today, I still say the same thing, it has nothing to do with me, and you don't believe it

Xiao Bailang looked at him and said slowly: "I believe it, but they will be suspicious...... Later, when they heard that Li Yong was dead, they didn't believe it at all. ”

"Li Yong's death is a little related to me, but he also has a way to die" Ye Chang snorted, very angry in his heart: "As for whether those arrogant soldiers in Shuofang Town believe it or not, they won't pay attention to it."

Xiao Bailang looked left and right, and saw that everyone was far away, so he lowered his voice and said: "Actually, they also understand that this is Li Linfu's intention, Li Linfu is afraid that Dr. Wang will enter the court as a minister, so he conspires against him." But Li Linfu was so powerful that no one dared to say it, so he was angry with Ye Langjun. ”

Ye Chang also understands this, these people can't afford to offend Li Linfu, so they will take him under the knife, just because he is a soft persimmon that is easier to deal with in the eyes of everyone. Fortunately, now that he is a soft persimmon, there are some differences, and if the Shuofang army really wants to find trouble, it is not as easy as last time.

"Since the Shuofang army is so ignorant, Fifth Brother Xiao, you should come back to help me." Ye Chang sent an invitation to Xiao Bailang.

Xiao Bailang nodded, but shook his head again: "I have been away for a long time, and now I will go back to Chang'an for a while, and I will raise it for some time, and then I will go to find Ye Langjun, and then I will have to ask Langjun to give me a bowl of rice to eat." ”

Ye Chang's heart moved slightly, Xiao Bailang's attitude was obviously a bit problematic.

However, although he invited him, he didn't plan that Xiao Bailang would immediately entrust him with a heavy responsibility: although the two had a friendship and killed the steward of the princess's mansion together, it was a few years ago. Xiao Bailang has been serving under the Shuofang Jiedu envoy for the past few years, who knows if he was sent by Wang Zhongsi's subordinates to avenge Wang Zhonghe?

"That's the case, after being away for such a long time, Fifth Brother Xiao should also stay with his family for a while." In the middle of his thoughts, Ye Chang said in his mouth: "Anyway, as long as Ye is in Liaodong, Fifth Brother Xiao is willing to come and give in, and he can do it at any time."

"Thank you so much, Ye Langjun," Xiao Bailang said.

The two of them whispered in the front yard, and when they said this, they turned the topic to the scenery of Shuofang and Liaodong. As he was talking, he suddenly heard a shout from the side, "Ye Shiyi take it", and then saw a large mass of something thrown from the wall.

Ye Chang's expression changed, he took two steps back, and the guards in the courtyard rushed towards him one after another, Xiao Bailang's face suddenly became extremely ugly, and he flashed to the side - he was a little scheming, if he approached Ye Chang at this time, he might be regarded as an assassin by Ye Chang's guards

"It's okay, pick up the things on the ground and go to the two of them to take a look outside the courtyard." Ye Chang commanded.

Someone went to pick up the large mass of things, but it was a burlap bag, and when it was opened, it was covered with a stone and some paper. Ye Chang noticed the handwriting on the paper, took it immediately, and couldn't help sneering after seeing it from the beginning to the end.

Xiao Bailang was a little far away, and he couldn't see what was written on the paper, and when he saw that Ye Chang finished reading it, he couldn't ask, so he bowed and said goodbye. Ye Chang didn't leave him either, and after sending him off, he looked at the side: "Go and invite Brother Cen for me."

Brother Cen is Cen Shen, he waited for the election in Chang'an after he became a jinshi, but he has never had a satisfactory official position. It costs a lot to live in Chang'an, so he borrowed a side courtyard of Ye Chang's mansion. After waiting for a year and not having a suitable position, although he was not desperate, he was also a little discouraged, this time Ye Chang came back, he was ready to follow Ye Chang to Liaodong to have a look.

After a while, he came over and said with a smile: "Eleven Lang, you have been busy all day, why do you have time to summon me?" ”

"There's something to bother my brother." Ye Chang smiled and handed him the paper that someone threw in.

Cen Shen took the paper, he had the ability to look at ten lines, just glanced at it twice, and then read the whole content, and then changed color: "What a big courage, so poisonous heart"

After scolding, he remembered: "Eleven Lang, is what is written in this letter true or false, and who leaked such important news to you?" ”

"Someone threw it in from outside the hospital, but I didn't see who it was." Ye Chang also had some doubts in his heart: "But this matter should be true, some people are really calculating."
