Volume 1: Who Breaks the Void by the Stars Chapter 43 Chang'an's New Rain and Light Dust

This trial is half an hour. When everyone returned to the shade of the trees in a sweat, the sky had already darkened, and everyone felt happy, and many young and anxious people simply went naked, like those scoundrels in the market.

But no one cares about this, this is the Tang Dynasty, the prosperous Tang Dynasty, except for some of the most basic etiquette principles that need to be adhered to, it is originally known for its openness and heroism. is Zhang Xu at such an age, he drank too much wine and took off his hat and undressed, in front of everyone.

"Happy, happy, more than polo and kemari!"

"Da Lang is brave today, scored five goals, and deserves to be the first!"

"Hehe, you're not bad, you scored two, especially when you broke my ball, you really dared to ......"

While everyone wiped their sweat, their own servants brought tea, snacks, and maza, and they sat down to drink and chat, which was really pleasant.

"It's getting late, I'm afraid I won't have time to go back tonight, so let's borrow a night in the temple, right?" There is humanity.

That's when everyone realized, "Oh no, it's not far from the curfew—I can't live here, I have to go home!" ”

"Let's go, let's go!"

"It should still be able to catch up with the last oil-walled car, let's go!"

Suddenly, everyone scattered, it was Yan Zhenqing, and he forgot to ask Ye Chang for words, so he just went back to live first.

Suddenly, the surroundings were empty, and only the Mazha tea and snacks left by these people remained. Ye Chang was also not polite, and greeted the rogue ranger who had also practiced for a long time over there and said: "It's rare for someone to send a snack, everyone, you're welcome, let's stay in Xinchangfang tonight, don't worry about the curfew." ”

Everyone laughed, and said poorly: "This is the dim sum in Zuo Xiang's house, but we can't eat it on weekdays, I look at his food box with dim sum, all of which are inlaid with gold and jade, only this one food box, I'm afraid we can buy it!" ”

"I see!"

When Ye Chang was about to reply, he suddenly heard a cheer, and then, a figure appeared in the dark place over there, shook twice, and rushed towards him after standing firm.

With a glimmer of light, Ye Chang saw the figure with blue-faced fangs, and was immediately startled, and almost knocked over the Mazha under him. Seeing that the situation didn't seem right, the monk immediately stepped forward and stopped the figure: "Amitabha, what are you doing?" ”

Only then did Ye Chang see clearly, the figure that jumped was Lu Qi, this kid didn't leave!

Including Yan Zhenqing, everyone else had already left, but he was still staying at Ye Chang's place. He played with Xiao Bailang for a long time to withdraw money, forgetting the time, and Li Xia and the others only remembered to talk about football when they left, and forgot that there was a Lu Qi for a while, so they left him here.

"Lu Xiaolangjun, why are you still here?" Ye Chang just asked Xiao Bailang to give Lu Qi a dismissal, lest this sinister person calculate himself and destroy his good deeds, but he never thought that he would be obsessed with this drama until now.

"Let them go away, I have something to say to you." Lu Qi said.

Ye Chang was not, and left everyone by himself: "Since we have something to say, then naturally we should avoid them, how can we let them avoid us!" ”

Lu Qi was very unhappy, but Ye Chang knew that he had offended him today, and he didn't care about making him unhappy again. But just a little groaning, the joy of solving the problem still made Lu Qi anxious to share it with others. Other scoundrels in the market, he can't look down on them, so naturally only Ye Chang is worthy of him to show off. Therefore, he could only obediently pull Ye Chang to a little farther away, and then said: "I finally understand now that the secret of the money withdrawal scene is to ensure that the money in the opponent's hand is a multiple of four plus one, then you will win!" ”

Ye Chang was slightly surprised, Xiao Bailang didn't understand the rules for two days, and Lu Qi only figured out the inside story of winning the money play in half an afternoon, his mind is so high, it's really rare!

No wonder it has left a sinister name in history, and even Guo Ziyi, who is powerful on the battlefield, is afraid of him like a tiger.

"That's true, Lu Xiaolangjun is really good at calculations, but if it's too late today, Lu Xiaolangjun won't go back?"

"Hmph, naturally I want to go back, but I broke the topic you gave me now, and I still have a topic, see how you break it." Lu Qi sneered: "I want you to hold a football match in five days, there must be a purpose, but don't forget, to hold a football game, you have to gather a lot of people to watch the excitement, and it is a taboo for the court to gather people to make trouble, you just wait for Jing Zhaoyin to come to you for trouble!" ”

After finishing speaking, he walked away, and he didn't even stay to say a word to Ye Chang.

At this time, Lu Qi was still a young man, and he couldn't hide his calculations. He said the last sentence very loudly, not only Ye Chang heard it, but also Xiao Bailang, who was exhausted by Lu Qi, he came to Ye Chang with a bowl of mung bean soup: "What this Lu Langjun said is not unreasonable, we are still thinking about creating momentum and going around to promote the ball game, but Jing Zhaoyin will not allow us to do it at that time, and everything will be in vain." ”

Jing Zhaoyin is responsible for the administrative security of Chang'an City, and he does have the power to prohibit it. And since Lu Qi left such words, he obviously had to work hard in the next few days. Although his family is not prosperous now, his grandfather was the prime minister after all, and his father is now a county magistrate, so it is very simple to prohibit them from holding ball games in Jingzhao Yin.

Ye Chang frowned, he gave Lu Qi a problem, it was difficult for him for half an afternoon, he came up with a problem, if he didn't solve it well, he was afraid that the trouble would continue in the future. And some of the prestige gained by playing Yuan Zai's face and football drama just now is afraid that it will be in vain.

"Who is Jing Zhaoyin now, and what is his personality......" After pondering for a while, Ye Chang asked Xiao Bailang.

"Unless you let Gong He come forward, you will know who Jingzhao is, and what is the use?" Zhilu Dao He Zhizhang appreciated Ye Chang, and Xiao Bailang came up with an idea.

"Don't mention this matter, just tell me who Jing Zhaoyin is, just his temperament and achievements." Ye Changdao.

No matter how much He Zhizhang appreciates him, there is a limit, and Ye Chang is unwilling to use this appreciation to exert pressure on Jing Zhaoyin, which may adversely affect He Zhizhang, and even attract enemies for this old senior.

"Today's Jingzhao Yin's surname is Han, and he was the governor of Jingzhou and the history of Shannan Province......

Han Chaozong!

Hearing this name, Ye Chang only felt that his forehead was sweating again, this is really worthy of the capital of the Tang Dynasty, a historical celebrity, you can meet it casually!

The biggest fame of this Han Chaozong in history is that Li Bai wrote "The Book with Han Jingzhou", in which the sentence "You don't need to seal the marquis of ten thousand households in life, but I hope to know Han Jingzhou" can really be said to be a sycophant.

It's just that although Han Chaozong is also known for recommending virtuous people and rewarding backwards, he does not attach importance to Li Bai.

Xiao Bailang glanced at Ye Chang, and then said: "This Han Jingzhao has an extraordinary relationship with Zuo Xiang, when he was appointed as an envoy, he recommended Zuo Xiang, so that Zuo Xiang was promoted to the governor of Qinzhou. That Lu Xiaolang Jun Ruo really has a close relationship with the Zuo Xiang family, or ......"

Speaking of this, Xiao Bailang shut up, he knew that Ye Chang understood what he meant.

The news of these city fox society rats is very well-informed, and even the relationship between Han Chaozong and Li Shizhi in the early years can be dug out. Ye Changyan frowned when he heard this, with only these materials, he couldn't think about it at all.

"When was Han Jingzhao promoted to Jingzhaoyin?" He asked again.

"It was this year that His Majesty intended to open the Cao Canal, so he took it as Jing Zhaoyin. In the eighteenth year of Kaiyuan, Han Gong and Fan An dredged the Qianshui and Luoshui together, so he was appointed. ”

"Open a canal?" Ye Chang's eyes suddenly lit up.

However, Han Gong seems to be ...... about frolicking It doesn't seem to be very fond of it, the first emperor Ruizong intended to promote the begging cold Hu opera, which was stopped by Han Gong, and now he is on the throne, in the sixth year of Kaiyuan, Han Gong was appointed to the right to pick up the remains, and the Chinese book ordered Zhang to say that he had been on the book, and the ban was on the begging and cold Hu opera. Xiao Bailang said again.

It's a tough nut to crack!

After inquiring about the details of this forbidden begging and cold drama, Ye Chang could almost imagine the character of this Han Chaozong: he was indeed the most orthodox scholar, and he was conservative, even a little straightforward. Such people are often inflexible and stubborn like stones in a pit.

"Don't keep your word out about this, just tell the brothers that I have a way to get Jing Zhaoyin to allow the ball game." After thinking for a while, Ye Chang said in a low voice: "In the past few days, good students have practiced, and when they are in the ball game, they must play their real skills!" ”

"Lang Jun just rest assured, even if the ball game is not allowed, we will also have a good time. This football scene is much more convenient than Keju polo. ”

Ye Chang is not worried that football is not popular, he has the foundation of juju and polo, and this combination of the two sports will soon become popular in Chang'an.

Early in the morning of the second day, Ye Chang first led these ranger scoundrels to do morning exercises, and then went out on time, just in time to arrive at He Zhizhang's mansion at lunchtime. Xuanpingfang, where He Zhizhang's house is located, is adjacent to Xinchangfang, where Qinglong Temple is located, when he arrived, He Zhizhang was in the house, and the access control family heard him sign up, so they immediately communicated and soon invited him in.

After a few words between the two, He Zhizhang asked, "Eleven Lang, are you still used to living in Chang'an?" ”

"Chang'an is good, but there is only one bad one." Ye Chang knew that He Zhizhang would ask, and he had already prepared: "If it doesn't rain, it will be dusty and suffocating." ”

"That's true, in Chang'an City, this is the only thing that is really bad." He Zhizhang sighed.

"The capital of the Tang Dynasty, the center of the world, this matter is really not in line with the image. In addition, I see that there are many people in the ravines in the city, although the roads have been smoothed down repeatedly, there are also many potholes, once it rains, it will become a disaster, He Gong can know what the imperial court should do? ”

Ye Chang's words made He Zhizhang's eyes narrow.

Although He Zhizhang is a reckless person, he is by no means a fool, Ye Chang's meaning is so obvious, how can he still not be clear?

"Eleven Lang, what can you do?"

Ye Chang said with a smile: "I remember a kind of thing, which is used to repair canals and pave roads, although the cost is a little larger, but it is durable." If the streets of Chang'an are paved with this, the suffering of dust in the drought and the trouble of waterlogging in the rainy season dare not say that there is absolutely none, at least it is greatly reduced. ”

"Is there such a thing?" He Zhizhang was a little surprised, and immediately remembered what Qin Qinshou said about Ye Chang's experience: "What did you see over there? ”

"Exactly."

He Zhizhang twisted his beard for a while, and then said, "Is it convenient for the old man to see him?" ”

"Since it's a plan for He Gong, how can it be inconvenient?" Ye Chang said: "The materials required for this thing are very simple, but they are slag, crushed stone, and calcined shale, which are crushed into dust together, and then mixed with a small amount of lime and gypsum. ”

"These things are not worth much at all, I'm afraid there is no place to buy them, right?" He Zhizhang said.

"He Gong sent someone to find it." Ye Changdao.

These things are worthless scraps, but it will take some time to actually find them. He Zhizhang sent a few family members, and it took half a day to find all the things, crush them into powder with a flour mill, and send them to Hefu. At this time, it was already afternoon, Ye Chang had lunch in Hefu, and Zhang Xu and Yan Zhenqing also came to accompany him, Yan Zhenqing was talking to He Zhizhang and Zhang Xu about the football scene yesterday evening, He Zhizhang laughed and repeatedly said that he wanted to see the football scene in person. Seeing that everything had been delivered, Ye Chang said, "Now let's do this first...... If you can only move your mouth, but you can't use your hands, there will be a plasterer. ”

The plasterers had been waiting for a long time, and under Ye Chang's command, the two plasterers began to mix the powder with the river sand, and after Ye Chang felt that it was almost even, he ordered them to start paving in a corner of the courtyard of He Zhizhang's mansion.

This is really a kind of soil cement, Ye Chang taught in the mountainous area is not only poor, but also inconvenient transportation, the local people in order to repair irrigation ditches, they thought of the soil cement invented during the shortage of materials. Ye Chang had seen how they made it, and its materials were not only simple, but also equally convenient, and it could be mass-produced without any mechanical equipment. The only thing that limits it is about labor costs.

Naturally, it is not as durable and strong as real cement, but in this era, it is also not like real cement, which has to bear the crushing of vehicles weighing tens of tons or hundreds of tons. Under Ye Chang's guidance, the plasterer quickly mastered the skills, and the ground he wiped out was both flat and light, and it looked very pleasant.

"This fashion can't be stepped on because it's not dry yet. After a while, when it's completely dry, you can go up and walk around. Ye Chang said again.

"How long will it take?"

"Two days is enough."

"If it's really as Eleven Lang said, after this thing hardens the road surface, it can be guaranteed that it will not be damaged for two to three years, then it will really be of great benefit to my Datang!" Zhang Xu stroked his palm and said: "Tsk, I now understand a little, why when that shopkeeper Qin saw you, his eyes were not only admiration but admiration!" ”

"Is Zhang Gong ready to kill so-and-so?" Ye Chang responded with a smile.

"Kill?" Zhang Xu was stunned, and then laughed again: "Punch words, punch words, it's good to kill this word, the old man has to remember it!" ”

"That being the case, two days later, I invited Han Jingzhao to come to the house for a small gathering." He Zhizhang trusted Ye Chang very much, and he decided immediately: "Then I will see Eleven Lang." ”

Ye Chang smiled and said nothing.
