The phoenix eyes of the eldest princess of Yuzhen narrowed slightly.

If Ye Chang asked her to propose to Li Longji to promote this thing, the eldest princess of Yuzhen would immediately refuse.

Although she has won Li Longji's favor, she is self-aware, and there is no problem in recommending talents to Li Longji, but if she interferes in specific government affairs, she will inevitably be regarded as the second princess of Taiping, and then her favor will become jealous.

However, Ye Chang proposed to try planting in her first and second granges, and his caution made the eldest princess Yuzhen change her mind. She glanced at Ye Chang again. This young man is personable, and it is indeed wrong to compare Wang Wei with him at the beginning.

He has a lot more things than Wang Wei, for example, self-confidence.

It's not the confidence in her own talent - Wang Wei also has this kind of confidence, but in Ye Chang, the eldest princess Yuzhen feels a kind of confidence that seems to be able to see the future.

This kind of confidence seems to have only been seen in that extremely strong woman, and this kind of memory definitely makes the eldest princess Yuzhen uncomfortable.

Wu Zetian, Wu Zetian, who was in his prime, had this kind of self-confidence.

The eldest princess of Yuzhen's eyes suddenly widened, and with fierce anger, she looked at Ye Chang. But then, she laughed dumbly.

It's still different from my grandmother's self-confidence, and I don't have that kind of domineering.

Ye Chang didn't know that in such a short period of time, the eldest princess of Yuzhen had turned so many complicated thoughts in her heart. He waited quietly, and then heard the eldest princess Yuzhen say, "What does this have to do with that barbarian girl?"

"Let the barbarian give the seeds, and at the same time send someone to the Central Plains to teach the art of planting."

The Tang Dynasty did not have much resistance to accepting foreign advanced techniques, on the contrary, the imperial court also actively promoted these things and was optimistic about their success. Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, sent an envoy to Mojie in the 21st year of Zhenguan to learn the method of boiling sugar, which made a breakthrough in the sugar making process of the Tang Dynasty.

The eldest princess of Yuzhen nodded slightly: "Then, how can those barbarians easily sacrifice the treasures of their clan?"

"This Yue analysis edict, survival is only in the evening, if there is no Tang Dynasty protection, it will be annexed by the Southern Zhao. Just a little restraint on Nanzhao can make him grateful to Dade. Besides, the dominance of Nanzhao does not seem to be conducive to the interests of our Datang in the south......"

"Interests?" Hearing that Ye Chang directly put his interests in his mouth, the eldest princess of Yuzhen was a little surprised.

Ye Chang realized that he had leaked his mouth.

Although this is not an era of rampant Confucianism, the gentleman is a righteous villain and a villain, and he will still be despised if he directly says his interests.

It's just that if you want to swallow back the words you say, it will be difficult to swallow them, and Ye Chang has no intention of hiding them, but just calmly continued: "It is my Datang interests, people should be handouts between people, and countries should be profitabilished between countries." ”

"It's up to you to have a verbal fight with those Confucian scholars, just like your punctuation jokes." The eldest princess of Yuzhen didn't listen to him and continued to explain: "It's just that what kind of Sui shape is beneficial to the Tang Dynasty now, you don't think about it." ”

"Huh?"

"Tibet has invaded repeatedly, and the Tang Dynasty is preparing for a decisive battle with it." The eldest princess of Yuzhen said: "The Tang Dynasty needs the Southern Zhao to contain Tibet from the southeast, and a Zhao that does not threaten the Tibetan Edict is useless to the Tang Dynasty." As for the white stacked cloth, Nanzhao was asked to offer it, but Nanzhao did not dare not offer it. ”

Ye Chang was silent, and only said after a while: "I'm afraid of raising tigers." ”

"The problem of ringworm and scabies, Jiannan all the way is enough to suppress Nanzhao." The eldest princess of Yuzhen was a little surprised: "You don't speak for that Nanban girl?"

"A certain party has already said that there should be benefits between countries."

"In this way, the little lady was abandoned, and the chaos was abandoned, and Ye Lang was also ......," Princess Yuzhen laughed.

She has read a lot of people, in fact, she can see that Ye Chang has nothing to do with the barbarian girl, but looking at this handsome young man, she can't help but ridicule a few words.

"So, the mage allowed it?"

"I haven't said yes yet, have I?" The eldest princess of Yuzhen looked at Ye Chang with a rolling gaze, and then said with a smile: "Ye Lang is so urgent...... You must know that as soon as I am a monk, I don't need a lot of money, but if I have heavy profits, what does it have to do with me?"

This is hypocrisy, but this kind of hypocrisy makes Ye Chang unable to refute.

Ye Chang's biggest problem is that there is not enough land, after all, Xiuwu County is the hinterland of the Central Plains, with a lush population, even if Ye Chang saves enough energy to open up wasteland and buy, it will be the limit to be able to make up a hundred and ten acres of land. But what's the point of planting cotton on 100 acres of land?

At least one or two granges and a thousand acres of land can be regarded as small-scale seed value, and it is enough to accumulate talents and experience for further expansion.

Mo said that it is difficult to get 1,000 acres of cultivated land in the Central Plains, even Jianghuai and Jiangdong, which were developed late, are also difficult to get a piece of land at this time.

Maybe there are still in Jiangnan, but it is raw land, and it will take several years to really turn it into arable mature land.

"What does the mage mean?"

After pondering for a while, Ye Chang asked.

The eldest princess of Yuzhen didn't really refuse, but was negotiating conditions with him, and Ye Chang knew this very well.

"I have two Zhuangzi in Dugi Province, which are not too far from Xiuwu, with a total of more than 1,500 acres of Zhuangtian." The eldest princess of Yuzhen said: "Zhuangzhong, I originally intended to build a Taoist temple on the mountain for the purpose of my old age - if I lend Zhuangzi to you, where does my Taoist temple money come from?"

Although some hypemen in later generations said that Yuzhen was hidden in Jingting Mountain in his later years, Li Bai also wrote a sentence for him, "I never get tired of seeing each other, only Jingting Mountain", but in fact, the eldest princess of Yuzhen began to plan her old age after entering the Tianbao years, and the place she fancied was not Jingting Mountain in the south of the Yangtze River, but Wangwu Mountain located in the north of Luoyang, the eastern capital.

"Oh, then what does it take to borrow these two Zhuangzi of the mage?"

"It's not that hard...... I want the ball city in Beijing. The eldest princess of Yuzhen said slowly.

Ye Chang was stunned.

When I met with Jia Maoer and others a few days ago, Jia Maoer and others talked about this year's ball market income, and their eyebrows were really dancing. The same half-year league, on the basis of last year's more than 30,000 leagues, has soared to 60,000 leagues, not to mention double, its growth momentum has not decreased.

According to Jia Mao'er's estimate, it is a matter of course to break 100,000 yuan this year, and it may even approach 150,000 yuan!

This kind of income is really hot, even a bold person like Jia Mao'er also raised his worries to Ye Chang: Will the interest groups that are now benefiting from the ball market diverge? Nan Ya and other forces in Beijing are not involved in the ball market at present, if they want to get a piece of the pie, what should they do?

Sure enough, Jia Mao'er's worries were not unfounded, and the eldest princess of Yuzhen took a fancy to this piece.

"Master Mingjian, in the matter of the ball market, although a certain person has made a lot of suggestions, but a certain person is not the one who decides." After thinking for a while, Ye Chang said euphemistically: "Besides, the ball market is booming, and the league has only been a year now, so I will intervene at this time...... Hey, is that what Wang Xiaqing meant?" As he was talking, he suddenly had an idea, Huo Ran raised his head, and looked directly at the eldest princess Yuzhen herself should not be very interested in the ball market, otherwise she would not have waited until now to bring it up. Someone must have exerted influence on her recently, and the most likely figure is Wang Jin.

In this way, Wang Jin's hostility towards him can also be explained: this guy wants to seize control of the ball market.

Under Ye Chang's scorching gaze, the eldest princess Yuzhen was slightly surprised, Wang Wei's brotherhood had to help Wang Jin say something, and she was unforgettable, and she had to do this tricky thing.

"This matter was indeed proposed by Wang Xiaqing, but it was also my intention." She said slowly: "When the emperor was there, he built a palace for me and my sister Jin Xian, which caused a lot of criticism from the ministers, and now I want to build a palace in the palace of the king, San Lang must dump the treasury for it, but I am afraid that the ministers will inevitably attack him." If I can raise my own money and food, build a palace, and do a good thing without moving the treasury, it will also be considered a merit. Ye Chang laughed. One is for Wang Jin's greed, and the other is for Yuzhen's nonsense. There is a third meaning, which is because of the short-sightedness and stupidity of these people. Yuzhen is to build a palace view, which can be completed in two or three years, and the income from the ball game in two or three years is used for the palace view, and then the time is all in vain - this wishful thinking is a good match.

But who is Wang Jin, a descendant of the Taiyuan Wang family, and he has literary talents, and he is not lacking in brains, but this refers to his mind as an official drill camp, and he is really capable of hosting such new things as a ball game?

Ye Chang can almost imagine that Wang Jin has no skills in open source, what he can do is nothing more than to reduce expenditure, that is, to reduce the expenditure on the development of the ball game, such as the training of children's football skills, the construction of regular stadiums, and then move this part to welcome Yuzhen.

This can be effective in the short term, but in the long run, it is digging the foundation of the league.

"Wang Xiaqing has a good idea." Ye Chang said slowly: "I don't have an opinion, he Wang Xiaqing doesn't know, but the mage knows the way, and he is above the ball market, and he doesn't make any profits." ”

Yu Zhen was a little apologetic, she did know about it. After a little silence, she felt that she still had to reveal a little detail to Ye Chang, so as to reassure Ye Chang's heart.

"Jia Mao'er and the like, after all, it is the person you found in Shiyi Lang, although Shi Lang has no interests in asking him, but their interests, for the sake of Shi Lang's face, I also have to take care of one or two." Yu Zhen groaned slightly: "Don't think that only Wang Jin is staring at this piece, relying on Jia Mao'er, he can't hold it after all." ”

"The mage has something to say, please explain it to someone."

"Wang Xiaqing is just a lobbyist, but there are actually other people...... Eleven Lang has not spent much time in Chang'an, I don't know about Wang Yuanbao, has Eleven Lang heard of it?"

Ye Chang was stunned, and then moved: "It turned out to be him?"

He didn't stay in Chang'an City for a long time, but the name of this Wang Yuanbao was like thunder, and people mentioned it in his ears almost every day. Praise a person for being rich, then say "family wealth is like a king ingot", and say that a person has an adventure, then say "like an ingots meet the god of wealth". This Wang Yuanbao is the richest man in Chang'an City, and the word rich rivals the country is almost set up for him.

According to folk rumors, it was San Lang Li Longji, who also heard that he was rich, and specifically asked him about the geometry of his family property, and he was quite self-confident that his family wealth could be exchanged for silk, and he could tie up all the trees in Zhongnan Mountain.

"I didn't expect Wang Yuanbao to also fall in love with this little business." Ye Chang smiled dumbly.

"He originally intended to form another league by himself, but he was afraid of me and Twenty-Nine Niang, so he asked Wang Xiaqing to be a lobbyist." The eldest princess of Yuzhen revealed a little more information.

is only afraid of Yuzhen and Worm Niang, but not afraid of other interests in the ball market, this only proves one problem, like Jingzhao and the temple Taoist temple in the capital, Wang Yuanbao has opened up the joint.

Thinking of what Yu Zhen had just said, Ye Chang couldn't help but ask again, "What about Mao'er's subordinates?"

"Although Jia Mao'er is the presiding officer, and the brothers below are also loyal, among the twenty-four stewards below, sixteen are already willing to find another job."

In other words, Wang Yuanbao has been quietly digging out most of the football league management talents in Chang'an City, and Jia Mao'er is afraid that he has heard a little rumor, so he will ask Ye Chang what to do.

Although he didn't attach much importance to the football league, Ye Chang still felt a little heavy in his heart.

This is the characteristic of this time, the sword-opener has calluses and feet, and finally opens up a way to make money, and then the tigers and wolves swarm to drive the sword-opener away, and they come to monopolize the benefits.

This tiger and wolf collude with officials and businessmen, and even eat the sword opener to the point that there are no bones left.

Therefore, Ye Chang had to make friends with the powerful, otherwise, he would not have the slightest power to protect himself.

If it weren't for the relationship with the eldest princess Yuzhen and others, his paper mill and printing workshop would have suffered the same fate. The reason why he wanted to borrow the grange of the eldest princess Yuzhen to try to grow cotton was the same - if it was not the eldest princess's land, the government alone would not allow him to plant new crops.

"I am willing to persuade Jia Mao'er and others, not only to give up the right to operate the league, but also to leave Chang'an." After pondering for a long time, Ye Chang raised three fingers: "However, he Wang Yuanbao wants to get the right to run this league, and he can't do it without paying some price." ”

"Say, 'I will take it for you.'" Hearing Ye Chang's promise, the eldest princess Yuzhen was also happy, and immediately agreed.

Anyway, it was Wang Yuanbao who paid the price, not her.

"First, Jia Maoer and others have completely withdrawn from the league operation, and their equity is counted as 50,000 yuan, and Wang Yuanbao must be paid off at one time."

50,000 guan in exchange for an industry with an annual income of more than 100,000 guan, it is really cheap, the eldest princess of Yuzhen shook her head without hesitation: "Too little, 80,000 guan, Jia Mao'er and other 50,000 guan, Shiyi Lang, you have 30,000 guan!"

"I have 10,000 guans, and the remaining 20,000 guans can be regarded as building a Taoist temple for the mage." Of course Ye Chang wouldn't refuse this, he just needed money.

"That's it, what about the second?"

"I want to build a ship, for Penglai, please ask the mage to find convenience for me."

In the Tang Dynasty system, there are many taboos in private shipbuilding, so Ye Chang is now only running a ship repair workshop in Wuzhi, presided over by Cui Xiujing, and more than 1,000 people have invested in it in a few months this year to cultivate shipbuilding talents. If Deyu really comes forward and the government opens the door of convenience, then he can expand the scale and recruit craftsmen.

"This matter is easy to hear, Shi Lang really went to find Penglai Immortal Mountain?"

"Yes." Ye Chang said quietly.

The motive for the advent of the Age of Discovery in Europe was the pursuit of money and wealth by the kings and wealthy merchants. The princes and nobles of the Tang Dynasty are not interested in seeking wealth overseas, but they are extremely keen on seeking immortals overseas.

"Is there any rest?"

"Two is enough." Ye Changdao.
