Ye Chang's sister is one of his closest relatives in this life, and after Ye Shu's misfortune, only this sister is left with his mother. When his aunt Liu bullied him, this sister did not support him less.

This sister has a bold temperament, and the brother-in-law Liu Kun who married is an honest man, but honesty does not mean stupidity, he is one of Ye Chang's most reliable helpers, movable type printing Ye Chang originally chose pottery movable type, which is to find this potter. After discovering that the pottery type was not easy to control, he immediately invited a coppersmith to make the bronze type, which was also done by Liu Kun.

At the beginning of the year, Ye Chang spent a lot of money to invite famous gynecology and pediatricians in the Central Plains, and then invited the most experienced stable woman in the countryside, and everyone co-edited a medical book on maternal childcare, fetal protection, childbirth, parenting, etc.

Compiling medical books is one of the purposes, and Ye Chang's other purpose is to have these famous doctors to take care of his sister's childbirth. This is the first child of her sister Ye Chen, Ye Changzhi said that at this time, the woman gave birth to a child, which was no different from passing through the ghost gate.

Originally, the due date should have been more than ten days away, and when he heard that a boy was born, Ye Chang was happy at first, and then his heart tightened: "Is the mother and son safe?" ”

"Mother and son are safe, mother and son are safe" Ye Xiao smiled: "What a fat boy, he looks a little like your uncle." ”

For Ye Chang, this is rare good news, he returned home, just reported his safety, and hurried to Xiaoliu Village to see his sister and nephew. The reunion of relatives has its own liveliness.

After a month of absence, there were many things to be handled in Wolong Valley, so he only stayed in Xiaoliu Village for half a day, and then went back, and when he arrived at the mouth of the valley, he saw a tall figure standing in front of the valley, and couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Monk, you are safe and sound"

It is Shi Shanzhi.

Seeing Ye Chang, Shanzhi was also happy, and took Ye Chang's hand again and again, muttering for a long time, in his words, it was nothing more than complaining that he was not good at learning and failed to protect Ye Chang.

"Monk, you are also honest, more than ten elite soldiers are chasing, and it is already amazing that you can still protect me to break through." Ye Chang waved his hand: "But after today, I will select people in the clan...... In addition, go to the counties that have been affected by the disaster to see if there are any children and daughters, I will collect them, and you can teach them martial arts for me.

This is Ye Chang's idea after being assassinated outside Chang'an City, at this time, it is very common for the Tang Dynasty to have servants among the wealthy families, Ye Chang has also raised a lot of family members before, such as Chunming and so on, but these family members Ye Chang mostly wants to train them to be in charge, and learning some fists and feet is just to strengthen the body.

This time is different, he really wants to cultivate a group of loyal team members for himself.

"It's just ...... Do you know who the Assassins are? ”

"I don't know, but judging by their skills, they should be people in the army." Ye Chang frowned, it was definitely not Li Longji, this son of heaven wanted to kill himself, a matter of edicts. It shouldn't be An Lushan, the two sides have already uncovered the old grievances, and An Lushan has no reason to come to find trouble for himself at this time.

Who would that be?

No matter who it is, Ye Chang secretly decided in his heart that when he goes out in the future, in addition to being good and straight, Kunlun Nu must also take his black bone force with him, and then bring seven or eight family members, and then meet assassins, at least there is a chance to escape.

If you don't happen to meet barbarians such as Huanniang this time, it's not easy to escape.

Soon after returning home, Chang'an City sent 30,000 yuan of money, and the escort was Jia Mao'er. When the two met, Ye Chang asked about the aftermath, and Zhilu Dao Wang Yuanbao focused his attention on the operation of the ball market. It must be admitted that Wang Yuanbao is a business wizard, and after he took over, he did not focus on any major changes, but Xiao Gui Cao followed, so the current situation of the ball market is quite good.

Most of the brothers led by Jia Mao'er stayed in Chang'an and continued to play for the ball market, and a few left with Jia Mao'er. Rao is like this, there are more than 20 people who followed Jia Mao'er, and when they saw Ye Chang one by one, they all made a big salute.

They looked at Ye Chang's gaze, and they were also admiring and longing.

These people are all good brothers of Xiao Bailang and Jia Mao'er, and Wang Yuanbao also tried to buy them, even after getting the ball market, Wang Yuanbao also spent a lot of money to keep them to continue, but they still chose to come to Ye Chang with Jia Mao'er.

Because they feel that Ye Chang has a way to bring them greater benefits and a better future than the ball market. Like Xiao Bailang, if Ye Chang hadn't taught him the ball game, how could he play in Wang Zhonghe's army now.

What's more, according to Ye Changjiao's method, Jia Mao'er has already made the best frosted candy, and in the previous city competition, this frosted candy has sprung up and stole a lot of limelight.

Looking at these people, Ye Chang was happy in his heart.

"Since you come with Brother Jia Xian, you can afford to look down on me Ye, and I don't say polite words, since you are willing to cooperate with me, you dare not say it, rich always have to promise the next one. Ball Market ...... The income is only one hundred or two hundred thousand yuan a year, and hundreds of people run for it, on average, each person is one hundred yuan, so what is it? ”

"You have all seen the frosted sugar, this frosted sugar raw material, is just the southern Zhezhi, through my means, it will become like honey and snow like frosted sugar, in Chang'an, in the Eastern Capital, in Guangling, there is no problem in selling hundreds of thousands of pieces every year. Moreover, we can also sell it to the Balhae Kingdom, Silla, and the Western Regions, and make a profit in the process, which is easy to make a million yuan. ”

This is not bragging, at this time, sugar and alcohol are the two main parts of the hobby.

Ye Chang said this, and stretched out a finger: "This is just one of them, you come to my Wolong Valley, how about the dishes at the banquet?" ”

Everyone praised one after another, and even the monk who had eaten here for nearly a year was good and straight, and he nodded again and again.

At the beginning, when Wolong Valley was opened, Ye Chang was needed to cook in person, but now it is not, Xiang'er picked the beam, found a few cooks, and passed on Ye Chang's cooking skills, so there is no need for Ye Chang to cook in person. Only when they have a dinner together as a family, and Ye Chang is interested again, will he do it himself.

The skills of these cooks will have to be honed for a few more years in terms of Ye Chang, but for these rogue rangers from Chang'an, they are already a rare delicacy in the world.

"My dish is so delicious, if I go to Chang'an and Luoyang to open a restaurant, why don't I have to earn tens of thousands of yuan a year?" Ye Chang said proudly: "Not only that, everything I want to do in the future is a brand-new foundation, as long as it is my old brother, as long as I have the ability, I will not worry about the day when I have no future."

These words made everyone feel enthusiastic all of a sudden, these rogue rangers were originally impassioned people, as soon as three glasses of wine fell down, they could kill the enemy for the revenge of the character, Ye Chang tempted them to benefit, how could they not be excited

First tempt it to benefit, and then it must be suppressed with authority. Ye Chang paused, and then said: "The old brother who used to be in the ball market with us also went with others, I don't blame him, but if you come back to look for us, don't blame me for not seeing him as an old brother." Remember, brothers, that if one of us goes on and someone stops, then don't wonder our brothers who continue to walk don't wait for them."

As soon as these words came out, everyone quieted down, and Jia Mao'er was the first to say: "That's natural, it's better to stop and say, those who leave don't treat us as brothers, how can we still treat them as brothers?" ”

Everyone was gossiping, Ye Chang smiled, and he was really happy in his heart.

He knew that he was from the bottom of the Tang society, a small family and a small landlord, and it was difficult to get really talented people to take refuge in. He can only find his own help among the people who are also at the bottom of society, and if not, then cultivate a class.

These more than 20 people, after the training of the ball market, dare not say that they are in charge, at least they know how to operate. With Ye Chang's support, they will form a consortium, as Ye Chang said, some of them will stop and some will leave, but more and more people will join in.

When the time comes, an interest group with him as the core will be formed, and this group, for the sake of its own interests and survival, will devour the old system step by step and establish a new system suitable for itself.

It does not have to wait for the new system to be completed, as long as this interest group has passed its initial period of danger, it will be invincible.

"If you have children and nephews in your family, you can send them to my Wolong Valley, and I am going to start teaching in Wolong Valley." Ye Chang said after the most reluctance: "Naturally, if you want to take the imperial examination, you don't have to send it to me, the most I can do here is to teach Ming arithmetic." ”

"Being able to learn from Ye Langjun is their great blessing, as for the imperial examination, how can people like us produce such characters?" When everyone heard this, they didn't think about it, and they were all overjoyed.

Ye Chang's skills, they watched, especially in this Chang'an City competition, when the last treasure was fighting, Ye Chang attracted the fire of the sky and burned the other party's silk tied with glazed ware in one fell swoop, which was a stroke of genius

If it is looser, this is not much different from the ability to call the wind and rain and scatter beans into soldiers

Only Jia Mao'er and a few of them were slightly stunned when they heard this.

Their expressions fell into Ye Chang's eyes, and Ye Chang didn't explain much, just nodded slightly.

Jia Mao'er had a smile on her face, but there was suspicion in her eyes.

Ye Chang wants his sons and nephews...... It's not just that I want to train the next generation of children, but I'm afraid that there are other purposes, for example, to make the interests of everyone present more tightly bound, and then there will be ...... Hostage?

Thinking of this, his heart trembled, but he didn't say anything.

This kind of method, although he felt that it was a bit excessive, and he was also a little suspicious that he couldn't trust his brother, but when he thought of those who betrayed everyone to take refuge in Wang Yuanbao, then Ye Chang's hand could only be said to be a last resort.

However, Jia Mao'er still thought shallowly, in addition to these, Ye Chang also said that he also wanted to pass the Ming Calculation scientific examination for several officials.

The experience of this trip to Chang'an made Ye Chang realize that even if the eldest princess Yuzhen appreciated him again, but on issues involving interests, the eldest princess of Yuzhen would not protect him, and even the possibility of turning her face to him was extremely great.

And the insect girl who is willing to help him is still powerless.

Therefore, he must have his own officialdom power, relying on those past poems, it is enough to be appreciated, but appreciation is not really his power

Since he intends to start teaching classes, he must need classrooms, and he also needs teachers who are pragmatic, Ye Chang himself will not teach children and teenagers the ninety-nine multiplication table, let alone focus on teaching them literacy, so hiring a famous teacher has become all the urgent things.

In addition, there are classrooms, dormitories for students, and dormitories for teachers. Fortunately, there is still some vacant land in Wolong Valley, and it is not a problem to build such a school with three or five classrooms and more than a dozen rooms. This only takes time, but it is not as easy to find as a famous teacher.

It's easy to find someone who can teach literacy, but it's hard to find someone who can teach arithmetic. Even in the Guozi Temple, there are only twelve students who study arithmetic, ten in Chang'an, and two in the east.

This question bothered Ye Chang, but as the saying goes, drowsiness meets pillow, and after connecting the inverted frieze, his luck seems to have changed.

In August of the second year of Datang Tianbao, seeing that the Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching, a man in his thirties came to Wolong Valley with a simple bag on his back.

He was dusty, and his clothes were patched, and he was simply a beggar compared to the people from all walks of life who came to Wolong Valley to do business.

In front of Wolong Valley, he hesitated slightly, because there was a tall and sturdy Kunlun slave guarding in front of the valley. He had a lot of dealings with these Kunlun slaves in Chang'an City, and he knew that although they were mild-tempered, if their masters let them be cruel, they would not show mercy.

Kunlun Nu looked at this person for a while.

His clothes fully prove that he is not a business traveler who has come to do business, and the merchant who does not want others to think that he has sufficient capital, who will be dressed in tattered linen clothes, but he does not look like a thief or a thief who has come to peep into the secrets of Wolong Valley - as several businesses in Wolong Valley grow, thieves who want to learn skills and secret recipes can catch a few almost every month.

It was the black bone force in his hand, and he grabbed three.

He has been in Datang for more than ten years, from a teenager to the current prime, he has changed three masters, and by Ye Chang, he is already the fourth.

It is precisely because of so many different owners that he cherishes his current master very much.

In his own words, he is the loyal dog of his master Ye Langjun, and he does not dare to slack off in the slightest for the sake of the master's house.

Seeing that the man hesitated for a long time, he stopped in front of the notice board in front of the valley.

Because there are more and more people coming to Wolong Valley, sometimes, some things cannot be explained one by one, so Ye Chang set up a notice board in front of the valley, and some important matters are written on it. For example, two days ago, Ye Chang posted a notice on it to recruit famous teachers for the "school" in preparation.

The man looked at the notice for a moment, and then the sorrow on his face suddenly turned to joy. He no longer hesitated, picked up his bags, and walked towards Wu Guli.

Wu Guli suddenly became vigilant.

"A certain is a giant deer Zhang Xiu, who is good at arithmetic, and is willing to apply for the position of Mr. Arithmetic." The slender man arched his hand and said, "Please also say a word to Ye Shiyi Lang for a certain person." ”

"Huh?" Wu Guli heard that this person came to apply for Mr. Arithmetic, and he didn't believe it a little, after Ye Langjun posted a notice to recruit Mr. Arithmetic, five or six people who could read some books came from all over the country, all of whom applied for Mr. Text, but this Mr. Arithmetic, no one has come so far.

Ye Langjun didn't scratch his head about this matter.

The person in front of him, who can solve Ye Langjun's worries?
