If the original Duli Town is now silent, then the newly built Lushun is in full swing, full of people.

There was already a large open space on the seashore, where the trees that could be used and the firewood that could be burned into charcoal were cut down and sorted and piled up, and the rest of the weeds and shrubs were burned by a fire.

"Eleven Lang, you really don't have anything to say about your progress." Ye Shu saw that this place was almost changing every day, and said in admiration.

"It's all about building their own homes, where can they not exert themselves," Ye Chang said with a smile.

How to make workers work harder, in this situation, the effect of increasing pay has reached its limit, and all that remains is to take advantage of the urgency of these people to have a new home. They know that what they have built is their own home, the place where their parents, wives and children live, and it is naturally easier for them to do things.

"Brother-in-law, how is the kiln?" happened to see Liu Kun coming, Ye Chang called him and asked.

"The eight kilns are all burned firmly, and you can burn bricks and charcoal below," Liu Kun said with a smile.

"Okay, let's make a fortune, but it's up to my brother-in-law."

After four years of tossing, Liu Kun can now be said to be a master of kilns, brick kilns, charcoal kilns, porcelain kilns, pottery kilns and even steel-making, iron-making, and glass-burning kilns. This time he came to Liaodong, among the first batch of people, Ye Chang focused on inviting him to come. Liu Kun still has some lovers who are reluctant to leave Xiuwu, but Sister Ye Chang is very supportive, and a pillow wind blows, and Liu Kun is blown over.

"It's up to me to say anything, if it weren't for Eleven Lang, where would I have this ability?" Liu Kun was a little embarrassed

"Brother-in-law, you plan when you can erect the glass kiln, since the brick kiln has been completed, the next step is to find the materials for burning glass."

The reason why Ye Chang fled overseas at this time is precisely related to Liu Kun, Liu Kun's mastery of the kiln has reached the point where he can open the furnace to make steel and open the kiln to burn glass, both of which are extremely profitable, and Rao is tolerant of Datang, and will never allow these two industries to get out of the control of the government.

Even with Ye Chang's financial resources, he can't help but feel shrinking when he comes to Lushun to support this stall, so far, he has only seen input but not output, so he must plan as soon as possible for glass and steelmaking, even if he builds a relatively small workshop first, at least he can have income.

Liu Kun nodded yes, Ye Chang had time to turn around, and looked at Mu Ding, who was nodding not far away, and he walked over.

"This is the messenger of Qingnipu?" Ye Chang asked.

"The villain is."

"What is your purpose in coming here, I killed Gao Baosheng and Wang Nai, and they all said that it was your Qingnipu who was behind it, is this true or false?"

"Wronged, handsome, wronged......"

Ye Chang is just a guard, this position is called a general, and being called a marshal is purely a pincer and a sycophant. He glanced at Ye Chang cautiously, only to feel that this guard was really young, but his demeanor was extraordinary, he was really a heavenly person, and he really deserved to be a figure in the kingdom

Thinking of this, he felt more and more that he should come, he bent down and saluted, with a smile on his face: "Handsome, that Gao Baosheng has always been full of nonsense, my Ming Mansion has reprimanded him in the past, but he pretended to disobey, because there is no clear decree of the imperial court, and my Ming Mansion is not easy to punish." As for Wang Nai of Weizi Village, he is even more traitorous and vicious, and the handsome man must not be confused by him. No, my Ming Mansion learned that the handsome man had two fangs, so he sent the villain here to send a congratulatory gift, and asked the handsome to smile. ”

After finishing speaking, he signaled behind him, Ye Chang looked over and saw a few wrestlers carrying the box, and opened the box at this time, revealing the contents inside.

It's all some local goods, mink, ginseng, pearls and the like, and the most precious thing is the white tiger skin. Ye Chang's brows trembled, white tiger skin......

Although this thing is beautiful, in fact, Ye Chang can't use it without permission, and if he uses it without permission, he will exceed the system. And although Ye Chang himself likes luxury, the white tiger skin is not very attractive to him, in his opinion, this is just the skin of an albinistic tiger.

Just right for gifts.

"Hmm, your master is Ping Guo Ling?" Ye Chang asked.

"Exactly, according to the law of the imperial court, now the county orders of Anton are all appointed by the local election of powerful commanders, and the master of the family has been the commander of Pingguo for three generations, and he has always been loyal to the imperial court."

The three generations are Pingguo Ling, obviously they were already entrenched in one side when the Bohai Kingdom invaded twenty years ago, and the Bohai State army did not destroy it by the way, so it must be a goods at both ends of the first rat. The smile on Ye Chang's face was still the same, and he said, "I see...... The official is now holding two positions, and Xiangping guards and Jili Prefecture records to join the army, this Ping Guo Ling is a subordinate of the official. ”

Hearing that the young Tang official in front of him still had the post of "Jili Prefecture Record Joining the Army", Tong Mu Ding suddenly felt a pang in his heart: Xiangping is a military position, and he can't control Qingnipu, but Jili Prefecture Record is not the case when he joins the army, but the army can be a civilian, strictly speaking, Pingguo County is under his rule.

"I have never heard of a record of joining the army in various states...... Moreover, isn't the chief official of the Andong states filled by the local tribes? Tong Mu Ding cautiously asked: "The imperial court appointed a marshal to come, could it be to change course?" ”

"You speak well in Chinese, and you know how to change your course."

"The villain is dedicated to sinology, and has read the history of the Tang Dynasty since he was a child."

"The court doesn't want to change course, I'm here for a special case, as for why, it's inconvenient to tell you." Ye Chang smiled: "In the future, the governance of Jili Prefecture and Xiangping will be placed in this Lushun, since you are the messenger sent by Gao Song, go back and tell him...... Come and see me. ”

"Yes, yes." Tong Mu Ding said this in his mouth, but he didn't think so, Gao Song couldn't leave his lair and come here anyway, when the time comes, report a sick person, and drag it down.

"I want to build a city here, I am short of manpower, you came just in time, so that Gao Song will dedicate the household registration of the Qingnipu population so that he can recruit and transfer people to serve in the conscription." Ye Chang said again: "This matter is a big plan for the imperial court, and it must be done, you can make this matter clear to your county order - it will also be of great benefit if it is done." ”

"Big good?"

"This Jili Prefecture, isn't it just me as a subordinate official now, let's not talk about the history of the assassin, what don't drive, Sima and the like, do a good job, your county order will not be promoted." Ye Chang said with white teeth: "You know that I am a Han official, and I have been here for a short time, but your county order is different, he has been Pingguo Ling for three generations, maybe in a few decades, his family is the third generation of Jili Prefecture Thorn History." ”

At the end, Ye Chang glanced at this guy and added: "At that time, you can also get a county order or something in Jili Prefecture, since you are proficient in Sinology, you must also have a lot of ambitions in your stomach." ”

Tong Mu Ding's eyes suddenly lit up, and these words were just his appetite.

He learned Sinology well, especially the scholar's pursuit of power, which was so strong that he couldn't be stronger, and even thought of going to Chang'an to participate in the imperial examination.

Ye Chang had already figured out his character from his clothes and conversations, in another life, this is an ability that an ordinary salesman must have, and there are not many people who have mastered it in this life. Seeing his excited expression, Ye Chang secretly took notes, looked at the gifts, and said with a smile: "I should have given you something, but since you are a literati, you are afraid that ordinary things will not be in your eyes, so let's ...... Ye An, take a copy of Li Taibai's poems, the kind signed by Li Taibai. ”

"What?" At this time, Li Bai's poems were very famous, that is, in the Balhae, Silla and Japan, and the literati had heard of his name, but only some of his poems were circulated, so they could get a volume of Li Bai's new poems, which really made the literati in these places excited.

"Oh, Li Taibai and I are close friends, so I sent some books to me, and I happened to transfer them to the person who knew the treasure." Ye Chang smiled and said: "I watch Lang Jun talk well, he must be an elegant person, and sending this book of poems to you is not a non-person." ”

After the volume of poems was brought in, he looked at the cover in front of him, which was an ink painting of a person holding a bottle to the moon, and it was also printed with the five characters of "Li Taibai's poem banknote", and then looked at the inner page, on the title page, it was written "Gift Brother Ye 11 Save" seven characters, and the signature was "Foolish Brother Taibai Dunshou" six characters.

Before he had time to turn the inner page, Tong Mu Ding bowed down and bowed to Ye Chang: "Ye joined the army and gave a generous gift, and he must be a good collector, thinking that it is an heirloom." ”

This is probably a family treasure, and the loyalty has skyrocketed. Ye Chang had a bad taste in his heart, but he also knew that if a mere volume of poems was given away, he could get a certain degree of favor from Mu Ding, but it was still far from really winning him over.

"I'm here, I also intend to spread Sinology, so the subset of the history of the past, quite a lot, this time poetry famous anthology, there are also plans, if Tong Langjun is interested, I will give more in the future. I only hope that Tong Langjun can spread Sinology out of the country, so that the ends of the earth can also bathe in the sages. ”

"Dare not do it," said Mu Ding again.

Ye Chang smiled and said: "If there is nothing else, please take care of yourself, I am still busy here." ”

Tong Mu Ding bowed and retreated, wrapped the poem in a cloth, and after he walked away, Ye An said with some regret: "Eleven Lang, didn't you say that this book can become a family heirloom in the future, why did you give it to this guy."

"Oh, I asked Li Taibai to write me more than 300 copies last time, if you want, I can also give you a copy." Ye Changdao.

"Huh?"

"Otherwise, according to Li Taibai's flamboyant temperament, he would only write so many words? It took him two days to finish writing, and if I hadn't promised a good wine, he wouldn't have been able to put pen to paper. ”

Ye An thought of Li Bai sitting there signing one by one, and suddenly felt sweating on his body: he signed three hundred copies...... I'm afraid my hands are tired.

"However, this is a way, and I want to find a way to make Silla, Bohai, and Japanese Confucian scholars like Li Taibai's poems...... Well, let's make up some jokes and pass them on, and then Li Taibai's autographed poetry collection can come in handy. Ye Chang muttered to himself: "Star-making, star-making is, this is soft power, exporting culture and values, right?" ”

Ye An didn't understand these words, but he thought that if this was the case, Li Bai was afraid that he would have to be invited to sign a special signature, and at that time, I am afraid that it would not be three hundred copies.

Tong Mu Ding naturally didn't know that what he got back was the book that Ye Chang asked Li Bai to sign in batches, and thought it was the only one of them. He hid it carefully, originally wanted to put it in his luggage, but later decided to wrap it in three layers of oiled paper and oilcloth inside and outside and tie it around his waist.

He was so busy that he did not dare to make any more stops, and the next day he returned to the same ship—he was not allowed to carry some of the Tang goods that had accumulated in the capital. After returning to Qingnipu, Gao Song summoned him as soon as possible and asked, "Tong Mu Ding, you went this time to spy on the reality of the Tang people, what was the result?" ”

"Ming Gong, the Tang people are powerful, with the strength of my Qingnipu, I can't be defeated" Tong Mou Ding's expression was solemn.

"Nonsense, I don't want to start a war with the Tang State, I'm still the county commander of the Tang State - but that Tang State official in the capital, how many soldiers and horses he has, do you know?"

"There are 2,000 strong soldiers in hand, and there are 2,000 newly recruited militiamen, a full number of 4,000"

"What, 4,000 soldiers and horses, so many, is it that the Tang Dynasty is going to protect Anton to the east again?" Gao Song was so shocked that he got up from his seat: "These 4,000 people are just pioneers, right, come on, prepare a boat for me, and I'll go to meet you quickly."

If the Tang Dynasty really came from the east of the country, he was only afraid that he would have three or four hundred thousand soldiers, and how could he dare to be in front of him with a small Qingnipu. The Goguryeo people in Liaodong were all broken by the Tang Dynasty, and they were lucky not to be taken away in the two internal migrations of the Tang Dynasty, so they still had the heart to restore the country, and they would never dare to show it in front of the Tang Dynasty.

"Mingfu, be at ease, and listen to me." Tong Mu Ding couldn't help but underestimate it in his heart, thinking of the young and heroic Ye of the Tang Dynasty, and then looking at the fat and bloated Gao Ming Mansion in front of him, he sighed secretly: "Datang is not going to move east to protect Anton, that Ye joins the army and has other priorities, but the villain is humble, he doesn't want to listen to the villain, just listen to his tone, although the Tang Dynasty has a successor, there will not be too many soldiers and horses." ”

"I see, if you don't say it sooner, that's good, that's good......," Takamatsu said lazily as he sat back in his seat.

"Even so, the official position of Na Ye to join the army was originally to join the army in Jili Prefecture, but he is now the top boss of the Ming Mansion, so he ordered the Ming Mansion to visit him."

"Heh, the tone is not small, let him wait, wait for ten or eight years, I am in a good mood, maybe I will go to see him." Takamatsu disdainfully authentic.

Datang didn't come with a large army, he didn't have anything to fear, he was a smart person, and he naturally knew that he would not leave his lair. If you really go to see Ye Chang and are detained there as a hostage, then there will be no return.

"Yes, yes, the humble position means that the government is not feeling well, and when the body is well, I will go to the meeting. But...... Mingfu, that Ye joined the army, but he can't be offended, he has strong soldiers and horses in his hands, if he really embarrasses me, I'm just afraid...... It's better to use it as a helper. ”

"Bringing it to help?"

"Isn't the pressure on us from the north now, the Tang people have a strategy, called driving the wolf and devouring the tiger, let's be obedient to that Ye Senjun, what does he want, let's discount the supply without hurting the muscles and bones, but you can ask for it from the north, just say that Ye joins the army to collect, if the two of them fight, we can make a profit......"

"Wait, what is the wolf-gobbling tiger, and what is the fisherman's profit?"

"Ahem...... "Clamp Mu Ding choked and coughed.
