Cen Shen smiled and shook his head: "Let's talk about your hearsay, the defeat of these characters is said to be related to Ye Sima, but except for Li Yong, all of them are far-fetched." As for Li Yong, he has only his name, he can't retreat from the evil and do something in the community, and he can't make contributions to appease Li Shu, he only knows arrogance and luxury.

After saying Li Yong, Cen Shen changed the topic and came to Wei Jian again: "The fifth duke once served under Wei Jian, how he acted, the fifth duke is the clearest, there is no need to say much, but there is one thing, I don't know if the fifth duke can tell me." When Wei Jian dredged the Guangyun Canal, from Chang'an to Luoyang, on both sides of the Cao Canal, how was the livelihood of the people? ”

Fifth Qi's face was a little hot, he personally handled this matter, and naturally knew about it. However, after a pause, he retorted: "Although it was embarrassing for a while, now millions of people in Guanzhong rely on Guangyun Caoqu ......"

"It's just the anointing of the people, and the selfish desires of the saints." Cen Shen sneered: "Millions of people in Guanzhong, how can Wei Jian miss them? The fifth duke accused Ye Sima of being a traitor and evil in Wei Jian and Li Yong, and in a certain opinion, on the contrary, in addition to these two people, it is for the people of the Tang Dynasty to get rid of the evil spirits"

Fifth Qi was dumbfounded for a while, and then said: "What Ye Chang did, isn't it that he uses the anointment of the people to serve the selfish desires of the saints?" ”

"Naturally, Ye Sima never shy away from this, unlike some people, who do such things on the one hand, and denounce others as treacherous on the other hand." Cen Shen happily admitted, but then added: "It's just that when some people serve the people's anointing to serve the selfish desires of the saints, the people complain and the people are miserable, but when Ye Sima does such things, the people can all reap the benefits from it." ”

"This is strange, looting people's wealth, and the people can still get benefits?"

"The Fifth Duke should know better than I know about this matter, Ye Sima listened to Liu Gong relay some of your remarks, and once said that the Fifth Duke is an expert in financial management, which can increase wealth and the people will not feel tired." Cen Shen's anger had subsided at this time, and he sat down again: "Some, a scholar, what he can do is nothing more than a document, and it is not enough to talk to Your Excellency." ”

Fifth Qi was silent for a while, and arched his hand: "Fang Cai is being rude, and he is hearsay, so he will make a conclusion, and please forgive Gong Cen." ”

He opened his mouth to admit his mistake, which made Cen Shen happy in his heart, and he wanted to open his mouth to recruit for Ye Chang, but he immediately heard the fifth Qi say: "A certain person is nothing more than financial management, Ye Sima's own financial management skills are unparalleled in the world, there is no need for these mediocre people, Cen Gong should please go back." ”

"This ......"

Cen Shen's mind changed rapidly, he thought that if he won the fifth Qi, he would be willing to consider going to Liaodong, but he never thought that this person was stubborn, and it was more than expected. He was silent for a while, and then said: "The fifth prince is too underestimated himself, a certain person in Liaodong, I have seen an article by Ye Sima. ”

Ye Changbo has a poem name, but the article is not very well written, after all, the poem can be copied, but the words at this time cannot be copied. Therefore, when Fifth Qi heard Cen Shen mention Ye Chang's article, he was a little surprised: "I have also read Ye Sima's poems, but as for the article, I have never heard of it, could it be Ye Sima or Ban Gu and Yang Xiong?" ”

"The fifth public is not in a hurry, in this article, Ye Sima abandons 'financial management' and replaces it with economy." Cen Shen smiled, thinking of his incomprehension of Ye Chang's word game at the time, as well as Ye Chang's own explanation: "Financial management is just a small technique, and the economic side is the avenue." Financial management is just sitting in a trapped city, that is, the more money is managed, and it is only one or two people cheaper. The economy is used by the world, so that the wealth of the world circulates like blood, and where it passes, everyone profits, and it is endless."

In an era when there is no concept of economics, in an era when more than half of trade depends on bartering, how true is this view, once issued...... Joke

If it is someone else here, he will definitely laugh and laugh at it, regard it as crazy talk, and most of them will comment on two sentences, Ye Chang can write poems, but he can't write essays, as for being able to do the general subtlety of "Spring and Autumn", it is far from the same. What kind of financial management is to use it for the world...... When the world is used to educate the world, and the virtues of the saints are ruled by the world and the Son of Heaven, that is the use of the world.

Fortunately, it was the fifth Qi that I encountered.

This person is a rare financial master at this time, although he is still young now, and he does not have the same means as decades later, but he has practiced in the hands of Wei Jian for several years, and has some understanding of economic operation, and has his own preliminary understanding. In the discussion with Liu Yan and other like-minded people, he further turned his understanding and cognition into a theory......

But at this moment, Fifth Qi suddenly felt that his full stomach of theories was not as good as the sentence relayed by Cen Shen.

The economy is used by the world, so that the wealth of the world circulates like blood, and where it passes, everyone profits, and it is endless

This is really what Ye Sima said...... What about that article, Cen Gong Dacai, such an eloquent essay will definitely be able to be memorized backwards, please recite it orally, so that you can have a long time of knowledge."

After being stunned there for a long time, Fifth Qi grabbed Zhuang Shen and asked impatiently.

At this time, most of the literati, because the books were precious, had the habit of memorizing the articles. In Fifth Qi's opinion, Ye Chang's words are so amazing, then the whole article should be very good. Cen Shen should have memorized it, as long as he listened to him recite it again, and thought about the profound connotation, he could peek into one or two.

"This ...... This ......" Cen Shen was a little stunned.

"Gong Cen, don't be stingy, give me such eloquent texts" Fifth Qi only said that he was pretending to shirk, and then said.

Cen Shen scratched his head, and Yu laughed twice. His ambition is to make meritorious contributions, and he is not very interested in Ye Chang's new economics, although he can recite some of the sentences that impressed him in the debate with Ye Chang, it does not mean that Ye Chang's half-literate article with no literary brilliance can be memorized.

"If the Fifth Duke is really interested, why don't you go with me to see Ye Sima?" After he explained, he continued.

Fifth Qi was stunned for a while, obviously hesitating in his heart, but finally sighed, shook his head and said: "Ye Sima can put forward the word economy, my little skill is of no use to him...... Instead of going to the corpse for a vegetarian meal in the name of the Lord, it is better to live at home. ”

"How can Ye Sima invite you to go, it's of great use, don't say anything else, now there is one thing, you need to use the wisdom of the fifth duke" Cen Shen felt that there was a play, and at the moment he had an idea, remembering the matter of planting cotton on the road, he said it, and then said: "Can the fifth duke have a way to solve this matter?" ”

Fifth Qi was stunned for a long time, and finally said with a wry smile: "Ye Sima thinks for a long time, if I am not a mediocre person, where can I have any way, but, hearing this, I am willing to attach to Ji Wei and see how Ye Sima solves this problem."

Fifth Qi is one of the best financial experts of this era, and he has a sensitivity to currency that transcends the times, and it is precisely for this reason that he heard the word "cotton eats people" paraphrased by Cen Shen, and vaguely saw a tide surging.

In this tide, those who go along with it prosper, and those who go against it die

Hearing the fifth Qi say this, Cen Shen was overjoyed, and he knew that his task today was finally completed.

Just when Cen Shen, a second-class economic peddler, was fooling the fifth Qi, Ye Chang was sitting in Li Linfu's mansion with an ugly face at this time.

It's not that his face is ugly because he is sitting in the gatehouse waiting, his current position is in Li Linfu's moon hall, and it's not that he is in a bad mood because he was being dried, in fact, as soon as he arrived, Li Linfu invited him to meet him in the moon hall, not to mention that Li Linfu gave him a look, on the contrary, Li Linfu had a warm face since he saw him, and he could even say that he had a spring breeze on his face.

But thinking of the historical allusion of Li Linfu's "honey-bellied sword", thinking that he almost didn't talk about anything serious here, just drinking tea and chatting with him, and even talking about the wind and snow, Ye Chang's heart shuddered.

Li Linfu was really angry, and the speculation he got from various signs has now been confirmed. Now Li Linfu is just a false accusation to him, and he is not at all the same as before

"Gong Li, I entered Beijing this time, but I didn't get the holy decree, and I ask Gong Li to ...... this matter."

"Little things, little things, such little things, how can you care?"

"Li Gong, the position of Sima in Dengzhou......"

"I heard that Eleven Lang gave a part of your military exploits to An Lushan in Liaodong? Well done, well done, with the style of an ancient famous general. ”

"Li Gong, both mentioned Liaodong and immigrated to Liaodong......"

"Liaodong is vast and sparsely populated, there are a lot of Hu Fan, and it is close to Silla, the flavor of Hu Nu and Silla is very different from the Central Plains, right?"

In half an hour, the dialogue between Ye Chang and Li Linfu was full of such content. Ye Chang's entry into Beijing this time is very important, and even for such a major event as recruiting Fifth Qi, he can only entrust Cen Shen to do it on his behalf, where does he have so much time to hang out with Li Linfu here.

But Li Linfu is not Yang Shenming, he doesn't dare to turn his face

If you don't dare to turn your face, you have to be perfunctory, even if you are anxious, even if your face is ugly, you can only endure it. Ye Chang has not been so aggrieved and patient for a long time, he has accumulated profits in Liaodong and Jian'an Erzhou, but now he is full of words, only others can tolerate him, and he has no business to endure others.

Seeing that a lot of time had passed, Li Linfu said with a smile: "The official affairs of the imperial court are complicated, Eleven Lang came from afar, I won't keep you, come here, send off guests for me." ”

"Gong Li, there is something important to do......"

"Hey, the old man knows the old man, you go back to rest first, come here tomorrow, and the old man will see you again." Li Linfu stroked his beard and smiled: "If Chengping is peaceful today, Jing'an on all sides, what else is there to do?"

As he spoke, he got up to see off the guests, in this case, Ye Chang knew that there was no point in staying any longer, and he might even annoy Li Linfu and reveal the apparent harmony. He felt very surprised in his heart, thinking that he had not given gifts to Li Linfu less, and that there were some means of dealing with the leaders by asking for instructions early and reporting late in the letter, and why Li Linfu's attitude had changed so much, and there was not even a hint of it.

Last time he came, Li Linfu couldn't wait to recruit him as his son-in-law overnight, but this time he came again, but it was like two sentences

Out of Li Linfu's mansion, Ye Chang stood on the street, the wind of Chang'an City in March was blowing on his face, although it was warm, it made people feel uncomfortable. Since the beginning of Tianbao, the urban construction of Chang'an City has not stopped, and the whole Chang'an is like a big construction site, either demolished here or there. Jing Zhaoyin has served two successively, and this kind of urban construction is regarded as a way to make money. The result of this kind of large-scale project construction is that the dust is extremely large, and Ye Chang originally hoped that the cement pavement would reduce dust, but it turned out to make Chang'an shrouded in fog.

Shanzhi came head-on, and when he saw Ye Chang's expression, he knew that something was wrong: "What's wrong?" ”

"It's okay, it seems that what others do is more detailed than we think." Ye Changdao.

Although he said that it was okay, he knew in his heart that things were much more troublesome than he imagined. Li Linfu not only wanted to obtain more benefits in Liaodong, but he was afraid that he had become suspicious of himself.

"If it really doesn't work, let's run back to Liaodong, it's a big deal to scatter, there are two states in Liaodong, even the Son of Heaven can't help us" Shanzhi muttered.

He was a fool, but what he said made Ye Chang frown: That's right

What did I go to Liaodong for, isn't it that when the dynasty is all the enemy, I can have a place to shelter from the wind and rain

Don't say that it's just Li Linfu's suspicion, that is, Li Longji turned his face, as long as he can't be executed on the spot in Chang'an City and let him escape back to Liaodong, what can he do?

Thinking of this, Ye Chang suddenly had a clear thought, and the original idea of depression disappeared suddenly.

"The third brother is right, we have Liaodong, and no one can help it" He said bluntly, and then left.

After he left, in front of Li Linfu's mansion, a person stretched out his head, looked at his back, and was stunned for a while.

This man has a blue spot on his face, which looks very ugly, but his eyes are as sharp as a sword. After Ye Chang's figure disappeared, he turned around and was about to enter Li Linfu's mansion.

At this time, he heard someone shouting at him: "Lu Qi"

He turned around and hurriedly saluted the visitor: "It turned out to be Dr. Yang"

"I heard that Xianggong and Ye Chang met in the Moon Hall?" It was Yang Qixuan, a son-in-law of Li Linfu, who came and asked, "I wonder if Ye Chang is still in the mansion now?" ”

Lu Qi glanced at him deeply and said with a smile: "Just left." ”

Yang Qixuan actually didn't have much affection for the young official in front of him who had the title of chief in the Criminal Department. He himself is dignified and extraordinary, so naturally he looks down on Lu Qi a little. Lu Qi smiled at him, but he raised his chin, although there was no other excess, Lu Qi still felt a kind of contempt.

"What did you say to Xianggong?" Yang Qixuan asked again.

"Nothing."

Lu Qi's answer made Yang Qixuan very dissatisfied, he couldn't understand how Li Linfu could keep such a guy by his side. He flicked his sleeves, stepped into the door, and decided to go to Li Linfu to ask questions.
