"I think, no matter how much Nanzhao suppresses, you can't rush to, don't expect to be able to complete its work in a battle, Zhuge Kongming pacified the Nanban, still need seven captures and seven columns, and now the generals of the court, no one can compare with Zhuge Kongming, the sergeant of the army, and there may not be a Shu army to adapt to the climate of Jiannan. Therefore, when the elite and strong soldiers were selected in Shudi, 350,000 people were recruited, trained for two years, and then talked about suppression. ”

Ye Chang knew that the plan he offered was bound to be unpleasant to anyone.

Li Longji didn't like it, now he is so happy with his achievements, he has become accustomed to going from one victory to another, Nanzhao is both rebellious, no matter how he suppresses it, he hopes to produce results as soon as possible. Li Linfu didn't like it, this method was indeed a good strategy, but what Li Linfu wanted to see was that Yang Zhao was defeated in Jiannan, and it was best to lose his life in Nanzhao. Yang Zhao was even more displeased, what he hoped was that Ye Chang would intercede for Li Linfu and let him stay in Chang'an.

But Ye Chang can only say that, compared to the three present, he still has some lower limits after all, and he can't bear to have tens of thousands of Tang Dynasty soldiers and tens of millions of Tang Dynasty wealth, because of the intrigue between these three people, they have become white bones and blood in the mountains and forests of Yunnan.

"Eleven Lang was enterprising when he was in Liaodong, but he was cautious in Jiannan." Li Longji said lightly: "I know what to do...... Yang Qing, it seems that you have to go on this trip. Nanzhao is both rebellious, Jiannan is shaken, I also need trustworthy henchmen to go to calm people's hearts, I will draw the elite for you, Nanzhao is weak in small force, I think that in addition to Jiannan Jiedu to make this Dao people and horses, and then allocate you 100,000 soldiers and horses, it should be enough to control it"

Li Longji obviously showed his intention to exterminate Nanzhao, and he was determined to let Yang Zhao go, and he also had his own plans. He intends to support Yang Zhao to replace Li Linfu, and Yang Zhao is indeed more beautiful than the previous candidates, but when it comes to merit and qualifications, Yang Zhao is missing after all. Now that the whole country is mobilized to help him make meritorious contributions in Jiannan, then when he returns to the DPRK, it is logical to replace Li Linfu.

As for Li Linfu's bad work in the DPRK and the central government, so that Yang Zhao could not succeed - after all, the world belongs to him Li Longji, he can be sloppy in some things, but he will never be sloppy in some things.

Li Linfu also knew Li Longji's intentions, but he sneered in his heart, as long as Yang Zhao was driven out of Chang'an, I don't know how many people would stare at Yang Zhao's position, at that time, Yang Zhao had to deal with him not Li Linfu, and what was the use of Li Longji staring at him, too many people who wanted to replace Yang Zhao would eat him to the point that there were no bones left

Ye Chang was a little anxious: "You should be cautious in this matter, the difficulty of Shu Road is far better than that of other places, and it is even more difficult to enter Nanzhao." It is advisable to slow down the picture and not to rush to get ......"

Before he finished speaking, Yang Zhao suddenly spoke: "The saint appointed the minister as the Jiannan Jiedu, and the minister had to work hard to bear it...... However, the minister's power is limited, and he needs help, please take Ye Chang as the ambassador of Yingtian, and follow the minister into Shu."

Ye Chang's next words were blocked in his throat, his mouth opened wide, and his face was full of astonishment.

Gao Lishi next to him secretly clenched his fists: Sure enough, even if Yang Zhao is not Li Linfu's opponent, he is much stronger than the previous ones

Li Longji was also a little surprised when he heard Yang Zhao's suggestion, he glanced at Ye Chang, and then at Li Linfu, Li Linfu's face was gloomy, as if he wanted to object, but Ye Chang's expression was shocked, but he was not prepared.

Yang Zhao's proposal, wanting Ye Chang to help is secondary, his real purpose is to pull Ye Chang to share the responsibility. Since Li Linfu regards Ye Chang as his son-in-law, after Ye Chang arrives in Jiannan, Li Linfu not only can't do bad behind his back, but also has to fully cooperate, otherwise Ye Chang will be Yang Zhao's scapegoat.

However, Yang Zhao made this proposal, which meant that he completely pushed Ye Chang to Li Linfu's side.

After Ye Chang reacted, he glanced at Yang Zhao deeply, but Yang Zhao didn't look at him.

Li Longji thought about it, and although he was silent now, everyone's attitude was almost clear. Ye Chang is in a dilemma, he himself is unwilling to go, but it is difficult to object; Yang Zhao just wanted to pull him into the water desperately, even if he threw all the seven or eight years of friendship between the two into it; Li Linfu was desperately throwing Ye Chang out of the box, and he also wanted to get rid of Yang Zhao and complete this exchange.

So what exactly is best for him?

After thinking for a long time, Li Longji said: "Since this is the case, Yang Zhao will be the envoy of the Jiannan Festival, and Ye Chang will be the envoy of the Lingnan Economic Strategy, the governor of Yaozhou, the defense envoy of the Jiannan Road, and the envoy of Yingtian-Shiyi Lang, do you still remember your strategy for managing the frontier a few years ago, I promised you to let it go in Nanzhao, what else do you need?" ”

If there is no last sentence, there is still room for negotiation, but the last sentence "What else do you need" is said, and the implication is that Ye Chang has to go.

Ye Chang never thought that things would change like this, and Li Linfu next to him looked even more gloomy, but he still did not object.

"How?"

"Minister......

Ye Chang pondered for a while, then raised his head, his eyes shining.

Everyone thought that he would suffer a big loss, and they all thought that being dragged to Jiannan by Yang Zhao this time would definitely be thankless, and he might even become Yang Zhao's scapegoat. It was Li Linfu, when facing Yang Zhao's threat, he also intended to treat him as a redemption son.

Then you have to surprise everyone

"The minister is willing to be the kendo defense envoy, the ambassador of Yingtian, and the vanguard, Yang Shilang only needs to sit in Chengdu, and the minister will take care of the affairs of Nanzhao" Ye Chang said.

"Uh......"

Being used, Ye Chang was not angry, but being tossed, how could he not be angry Therefore, after he made a decision, he did not hesitate to put forward his own conditions, that is, let Yang Zhao, who does not understand military affairs and has no military strategy, stay in Chengdu honestly, and do not go to his frontline operations

This requirement also means that if he makes meritorious contributions on the front line, Yang Zhao will not receive any credit, and if he suffers defeat, Yang Zhao will not bear any responsibility. Li Longji was still a little hesitant in his heart, he had a lot of trust in Ye Chang's ability, and felt that if Ye Chang could succeed, Yang Zhao would have a great credit, and he could just return to Chang'an as a minister. But Yang Zhao himself was overjoyed when he heard it, and without waiting for Li Longji to speak, he said: "That's right, the minister doesn't know about military affairs, Ye Shiyi is familiar with military strategy, and he is arbitrary, it should be like this."

He is not very keen on side work, as long as he has enough Li Longji's sycophants, and Yang Yuhuan is helping him, why can't he be promoted?

Yang Zhao said this, Li Longji could only allow it, Li Linfu squinted his eyes and thought about it, and there was no objection. Seeing this, Ye Chang further mentioned: "The sage will transfer more troops and horses, and the ministers don't know where they will be transferred, and in addition, the duties of Liaodong ......"

"Liaodong Job, naturally don't move, you go to Jiannan, it won't take too long." Li Longji heard that Ye Chang took this hot potato very happily, and naturally did not hesitate: "If there is anything else you want, you just have to say." ”

"Can the minister mobilize the officials of the Jiannan states?"

"That's natural, Jiannan Jiedu envoy has the right to do so." When Li Longji said this, he immediately understood what Ye Chang meant, and he glanced at Yang Zhao: "Yang Qing, you must be convenient with Ye Qing for this matter." ”

"That's natural, the ministers will not be restrained, whoever Brother Ye wants to transfer, the ministers will fully cooperate"

What Yang Zhao was most afraid of was that Li Linfu tossed him when he was in Jiannan, and pulled Ye Chang into the water, after all, he wanted to ease some of the relationship between the two, so he almost responded to Ye Chang's request.

"Well, there's the last bit...... The Andong Chamber of Commerce is willing to help the army's salary, and only asks the saint to allow the Andong Chamber of Commerce to set up a cabinet in Chengdu, and the Andong Chamber of Commerce can choose a few items in Nanzhao to specialize. ”

Chengdu was also one of the largest cities in the world at this time, and Ye Chang wanted to extend his trade routes here for a long time. Control Chengdu, one can have a new commodity market, the second can control the ancient tea horse road, and the third is that the southwest is the country of abundance, although at this time the Tang Dynasty high-level still does not look down on it, and thinks it is a wild and barren land, but Ye Chang knows what Lu Dao has here.

Those mineral deposits and the like, because of transportation, are not easy to transport out, but there are things that are easy to transport.

Therefore, the Andong Chamber of Commerce has set up a cabinet in Chengdu, which will become a new financial road for the Chamber of Commerce.

This is a trivial matter, Li Longji naturally will not refuse, and said with a smile: "Ye Qing, you have fallen into the eyes of money."

"The minister is not as rich as a saint, but he is burdened with debts, and he doesn't want to find a way to make money, and the nobles in the capital are afraid that they will all go to the minister's house to collect debts."

"Who makes you restless and borrows debts every year" Li Longji couldn't help but spit out: "If you can be more stable and not so anxious to spend money, with your ability to make money, even I may not have you to live comfortably"

"Exactly, exactly, in the past few years, in order to find that proud country, Wang Yuanbao has almost gone bankrupt, and now he has moved from Chang'an to Dengzhou, and it is said that every day he looks east on the sea...... Only you, Brother Ye Xian, can find the country of Aolai from the waves of thousands of pours. Yang Zhao interjected.

Ye Chang understood the meaning behind him.

In fact, in recent years, Datang's navigation skills have developed rapidly, and Ye Chang tried every possible way to completely prevent the leakage of some secrets. Therefore, Wang Yuanbao also built several batches of large sea ships in his hands, he recruited sailors, and according to Ye Chang's deliberate leakage of the news, he began to look for the so-called Aolai country. The cost of this is huge, it can be imagined, but Wang Yuanbao is worthy of being a person with great prestige in Datang Shopping Mall, even if his main business glaze industry has been depressed in the competition, but with the ball market and transformation, coupled with the continuous pulling of people into the shares, he still supports it.

Now for Wang Yuanbao and the people behind him, because of the previous investment, they must continue to invest. Therefore, it is said that Wang Yuanbao also found Dashi and Persian hydraulic workers who are proficient in navigation, and started a new process last winter.

"If Wang Yuanbao makes money, it is just a golden ball and hidden in his cellar, but if the minister makes money, it is to let the money circulate......"

"I have already read Qingzhi's "The Wealth of Nations", and it is really a wonderful article." Li Longji smiled silently and interrupted Ye Chang's words.

In the past two years, Ye Chang's book "The Wealth of Nations" has been published all over the world and has a great influence, and at the beginning of it, he praised Sima Qian's "The Biography of the Colony of Goods" as the true purpose of the "Book of Shang", because "Shangshu Hongfan" directly said "Eight Politics, one is called goods, and the other is called colony", and ridiculed Ban Gu, who wrote the "Book of Han", saying that he was a rotten Confucian and a food ancient, and he did not colonize goods, so he could not support his family, so that his younger brother Ban Chao had to make a living for the sword and pen officials. Of course, the purpose of such a beginning is to cause controversy, just like later generations, only hype can attract attention. When Ye Chang said this, no matter whether others supported or opposed, they all wanted to take a closer look at his reasons.

Moreover, Ye Chang now has a vague reputation as the world's No. 1 financial expert, so he has written books and said, and many people want to see the truth behind his money-making skills. Therefore, after the publication of "The Wealth of Nations", Mo said that Luoyang, the entire Central Plains was expensive, and Ye Chang's books, which were originally only priced at 50 yuan, were raised to the price of 500 yuan each.

It wasn't until Ye Chang printed another batch that the market stabilized. This book has sold more than 80,000 copies in two years, which is equivalent to one copy for every 1,000 people in the Tang Dynasty, with a population of only 80 million.

If it were a change to the past, this would never be possible, but Ye Chang's reputation as the God of Wealth spread all over the world, so it had such an effect. Of course, even if you have the book in hand, how much truth you can see from it is everyone's practice.

Li Longji made a joke about Ye Chang with "The Wealth of Nations", and Ye Chang couldn't help but smile slightly, only Li Linfu next to him, his eyes were cold, and he seemed to be unhappy.

"Li Qing, do you think this is okay?" Li Longji asked again.

"You can't do nothing...... However, the daughter of the old minister has been waiting for two years, and Ye Chang is now older, he will go to the frontier for the country, and there must be no one at home...... When the saint said that he wanted to give marriage, he also asked the saint to make a decree. ”

Li Longji's heart skipped a sudden beat, and Li Linfu proposed Ye Chang's marriage again at this time, which seemed to be unrelated, but in fact, the timing was extremely accurate. He originally had other plans for Ye Chang's marriage, but now it seems that ......

"That being the case, Ye Qing, I will allow you to get married for forty days, and then leave after forty days." Li Longji squinted and thought for a while, then slowly spoke.

"Yes." Ye Chang did not refuse.

He knew that he might not be able to do this for Shou'an, but firstly, he and Li Tengkong also had feelings, and secondly, the current situation could not allow him to drag it any further.

"Even if I give marriage, I can't wronged Li Qing's beloved daughter, although the time is in a hurry, but it should still be too late, and I am allowed to marry with the gift of the princess." Li Longji said again.

Since Yang Zhao can't replace Li Linfu for the time being, he must appease this old minister. Even Shou'an's happiness can be sacrificed, so what's wrong with giving Li Linfu some vanity

Li Linfu was really grateful, and bowed down to thank him. But in their hearts, the two sneered almost at the same time.

"Regarding the mobilization of soldiers and horses, Li Qing asked the military department to think more about it. Now that the matter has been agreed, ...... Stand down. Li Longji said again.

He also lost the heart of play at this time, but he felt deeply tired, the boss of an empire, in all directions, there are always unfinished political affairs, he is now nearly seventy years old, and he has long been out of energy.

Maybe...... Is it better to pass the throne to the younger ones?

The thought only flashed through his mind, and then he firmly and firmly left it behind.
