For Li Longji, Ye Chang said that he went to Liaodong to build a dock to go to sea to find immortals, anyway, he didn't need Li Longji to pay for it, he just gave Ye Chang a name, so Li Longji was happy to see it.

But for Yang Zhao, Ye Chang knew that Yang Zhao was in the prime of life at this time, and his desire for glory and wealth was better than immortality, so in addition to seeking immortals, he also made it clear that he wanted to open up the trade route from the Tang Dynasty to Japan, so as to take gold from Japan.

At this time, Japan's gold mines had not yet been mined on a large scale, so the Tang envoys did not know about it. Yang Zhao knew that Ye Chang was not false, since Ye Chang said that Japan was rich in gold and silver deposits, then there must be one, and he yearned: "If it is really successful, I should play and ask His Majesty to be the envoy of the Japanese market." ”

It has been more than 30 years since Datang set up an envoy to Annan City in Guangzhou, and it is not surprising that Yang Zhao wants to get a foreign envoy from Japan. Ye Chang laughed, and the two talked for a while, and then said goodbye.

Yang Zhao came here, in addition to visiting Ye Chang, but also an attitude to show that the Yang family did not blame Ye Chang for the failure of the princess and relatives. Although this is the case on the surface, Ye Chang can imagine that Yang Yuhuan's three sisters who even want to seduce his brother-in-law Li Longji are afraid that they will not be so broad-minded. Fortunately, I made friends with Yang Zhao and gave more gifts to ease his heart. Today, Lushun's first glass kiln is under construction, which will allow the production of glassware in small batches. At that time, with this as a gift, I think I can ⊥ the Yang family, who is greedy for money and profit, satisfied.

The day after bidding farewell to Yang Zhao, Ye Chang sent a letter early in the morning to say goodbye to everyone, and then took a car out of Chang'an City.

Looking back at Chang'an City, Ye Chang shook his head, his trip was really ......

But he never thought that when he arrived at Guangyuntan Wharf, a horse chased after him: "Ye Langjun, Ye Langjun"

Ye Chang looked back, he had seen that person a few times, and it was an inner prison beside the worm mother. He was a little surprised: "You are here, but what do you command?" ”

"Your lord, please wait, she will be in the car, and she will be there in a moment"

Ye Chang's heart warmed slightly, leaving Chang'an this time was the same as the first time, somewhat embarrassed, and to some extent he was driven out of Chang'an. Although he didn't care about this little setback, there was still something strange in his heart, and the insect girl wanted to send him off, but he didn't forget the old friendship.

I didn't wait long at Guangyuntan Wharf before I saw a group of cars coming. Insect Niang is now a different pomp, although she has not yet been crowned a princess, but there should be no less guard of honor, after arriving, immediately a servant maid opened the curtain, separated a vacant space, dispersed the crowd watching the excitement, and then the steward came to the car and said respectfully: "Your lord, please get out of the car, Ye Langjun has been waiting for a long time." ”

Before the words fell, I saw the curtain of the car open, and a girl jumped out.

Ye Chang and Worm Niang have not seen each other for more than half a year, the two have known each other for three years, and Worm Niang has also reached the time when the girl grows and develops the fastest. She was no longer depressed now, her expression was cheerful, her face was ruddy, her eyebrows were clear, and when she saw Ye Chang, she jumped over.

"Eleven Lang"

Ye Chang looked surprised: "I don't know how the girl met me?"

"Huh?" The insect girl was stunned, and then thought that she had grown in the past half a year, and she had grown half a head, which was probably unrecognizable to Ye Chang. She immediately smiled happily: "Eleven Lang doesn't know me anymore, I'm a worm girl."

"Impossible, impossible" Ye Chang shook his head solemnly and said: "Hallucination, there are hallucinations in front of me."

"Why?"

"The insect girl is dark, thin, small and ugly, but the person in front of her looks like a fairy, this is not an illusion...... Ugh

He joked about the worm girl, and naturally he had to be stepped on by the worm girl again. The insect lady said angrily: "When we meet, we will talk crazy things, and I won't stay in Chang'an for more time."

"Well, now I believe that you are a worm girl, only a worm girl is so fierce"

The two looked at each other and smiled, feeling that the friendship between the two sides was not alienated.

"Why are you running so fast, so I can't catch up so fast" After the ridicule was over, the insect girl complained again: "Brother Eleven Lang, you just think about your little maid, and you can't just leave me"

Ye Chang was suddenly embarrassed, but he still felt extremely happy when he saw that this pretty girl, who was now fifteen years old, called him "Brother Eleven Lang" in a tired voice.

"I have to leave early, Your Majesty is blaming me, if you call my brother to his beloved lord, I am afraid that I will cut off my head." Joy is joy, this place is not a place to talk after all, Ye Chang still has to remind the insect girl.

"I know that this is for this reason...... Come out, come out," said the worm girl.

Ye Chang was stunned, and then saw two more girls coming out of the insect girl's car.

These two girls are a little familiar, they seem to have seen them somewhere, they saw Ye Chang, and gave a big salute: "Lang Jun is implicated by slaves, and slaves are really worthy of ......"

They were full of apologies, and after a while, Ye Chang figured out that these two were the two "princesses" who were originally going to be sent to kiss.

They are actually Li Longji's granddaughters, who want to call Aunt Worm.

Ye Chang did meet them, at the beginning of the year, in the sea of fragrant snow, at that time they mistook Ye Chang for the little guy who managed the plum garden. Now they also recognized Ye Chang, and their expressions were even more shy.

"I don't mean to ...... this"

"Although Lang Jun is not intentional, if I am not Lang Jun, I will go far into the desert, be humiliated by Yidi, and even die." The taller of the two girls said: "The two of us have nothing to repay, so we can only exhaust everything and use our bags to be strong." ”

After finishing speaking, the two of them opened the curtain on the car behind them, and Ye Chang couldn't help but be stunned again when he saw it.

On the cart was an unfolded silk horse, and the silk was full of gold and silver collars

"This"

"Eleven Lang, remember when I said that I would fund you to fight on the frontier?" The insect lady pulled him aside, and said with a smile: "A total of seventy-one catties of gold and two hundred and thirty catties of silver, which are the daughters of our Chang'an City clan and the daughters of important ministers, in order to make the Tang nobles in the future no longer have the pain of being in harmony with their relatives."

Ye Chang was dumbfounded, and then noticed that neither the insect girl nor the two girls had any gold and silver jewelry on their bodies.

"This ...... This ......"

"Eleven Lang don't refuse, in addition to these, we will also recruit warriors and follow you to Liaodong." Worm Niang said again: "Xi Ren, Khitan is early, if it is later, the manpower we recruit will be able to go with you this time"

Ye Chang didn't know what to say, he could imagine how much effort he had spent on this worm girl. For most of the past six months, I am afraid that she has not wandered among the daughters of the clan and the daughters of important ministers and relatives, lobbying them. Just turning the money and silk raised into gold and silver, I don't know how much energy it will take.

No wonder I came back this time, although I went to Yuzhenguan several times, I didn't see the insect girl.

"I don't refuse gold and silver, I'm running out of money." After pondering for a while, Ye Chang said in a low voice: "It's just that there is no need for manpower, if your majesty knows the way over there, it will be difficult to pass." ”

"How do you fight without manpower?"

"Fighting with the Khitan and Xi people, I am not in a hurry, but since I have obtained the gold and silver of your nobles, I must try my best to do this, Worm Niang, these gold and silver are only regarded as the principal of the nobles in Beijing, and I am outside for you and others, and dividends are distributed annually, how about it?"

Worm Niang's willow eyebrows suddenly erected: "Eleven Lang, what do you mean by this?"

"Worm Niang, I'm here to protect my head" Ye Chang sighed and pointed to his head: "I can't give permission from Your Majesty, if I raise a military without permission, think about it, what will happen to me?"

Worm Niang is a little stupid.

She said that the reason for moving the noble girl in Beijing was to save herself in order to avoid becoming a princess in the future, but now Ye Chang didn't dare to say that she would start a war, so what she did before became a scam?

She stared at Ye Chang, but she didn't rush to get angry, in her knowledge, Ye Chang was not so easy to admit defeat

Sure enough, Ye Chang chuckled: "The so-called business is the intention of recruiting Hu people to fight Hu people." ”

"What do you mean?"

"I use this principal to buy silk and silk property in the Central Plains, and then transport it to Liaodong to recruit warriors among the Hu people to fight Hu with Hu, how about it?"

"I know that you have a way," the insect lady was overjoyed.

Ye Chang also smiled.

But he only laughed on the surface, but in fact he understood that he couldn't hide it from Li Longji.

It seems that there is no problem with recruiting Hu people to attack Khitan and Xi with these belongings, but since those Hu people can kill Khitan and Xi, why don't they directly come to defeat Ye Chang and take away these belongings?

Therefore, in order to protect these wealth, Ye Chang must have guards in his hands.

The insect girl didn't think about it so much, she was just happy, Ye Chang saw that the time was not early, and urged her to turn back, she also knew that the matter was important, and she couldn't let Ye Chang stay here longer, so she could only leave reluctantly.

Ye Chang was driving back and forth at present, and only a few steps were walked, and the girl's crisp singing voice came from the car, listening to the singing "What is the concubine's heart, he looks forward to Chang'an", which is the poem he copied. Ye Chang suddenly felt that what he had done was not meaningless, at least, the fate of Princess Yifang, who was extremely tragic in history, was completely changed by himself.

The insect mother returned to the palace, thinking about what Ye Chang had just said, and her heart was both happy and worried. Originally, she thought that Ye Chang was omnipotent, but now she was a little worried, if Ye Chang really fought with the Hu people, the Hu people were vicious, and whether Ye Chang was their opponent.

"Brother Eleven Lang will definitely be able to win big, he can fight two by himself, no, three...... Five...... Ten Hu people" Worm Niang thought secretly: "There is also a good and straight monk, although he is not as powerful as Brother Shiyi Lang, he can also fight eight, I heard that Brother Shi Lang has a warrior Nanba by his side, and he can also fight eight ......"

The morning passed in her cranky thoughts, and in the afternoon afternoon, she suddenly heard a message from the internal envoy that Li Longji summoned her. Her heart moved, and she secretly said that it was not good, but she didn't dare to refuse, so she could only follow the envoy to Xingqing Palace.

At this time, it is already late autumn, the flowers in Xingqing Palace are all blooming, only chrysanthemums are left, let's go, chrysanthemums are full of fragrance, but the insect girl has no intention of appreciating, just silently moving forward.

When she arrived at the Agarwood Pavilion, she could hear the coquettish laughter inside, the insect girl frowned slightly, she knew about men and women at this time, and she heard that the voice was very indecent, and it was not a concubine, but the voice of the third sister of the Yang family. She stopped, and the envoy entered, and the laughter died down, and then the envoy came out and let her in.

When I entered the garden, I saw a group of palace maids gathering the petals of the chrysanthemum with a cloth curtain, and the pool next to the agarwood pavilion was full of chrysanthemum petals. She glanced at it and saw her father sitting in the pavilion, next to the musicians and dancers on display, the Yang sisters playing in the pool, and Li Longji raising their glasses.

"My son has seen my father." In front of Li Longji, the insect girl said.

"Hmm, worm girl, you've done a great job." Li Longji looked at her with a calm face.

The insect girl panicked in her heart and fell to the ground: "Aya, daughter...... Daughter ......"

"I heard that you are raising gold and silver in Beijing to replenish military funds, but now you have soldiers and horses?"

Although the insect girl was still panicked on her face, she was determined in her heart. Fang Cai Ye Chang had already warned her that her actions in the capital had contacted so many noble girls, and it was impossible for her to hide it from her father. If you are not questioned, you have to find an opportunity to take the initiative to talk to your father, if you are really blamed, then your father did not take this matter to heart.

She bowed down and said, "My daughter has no soldiers and horses."

"You have raised a lot of gold and silver, but you have not recruited a single soldier? Ye Chang's bold dog head dares to instigate you to do such a rebellious thing."

"Daughter...... Seeing that Aya was worried about state affairs, the daughter had not heard the joy of the pear orchard for several days, and she was not angry in her heart, so she wanted to raise funds to recruit warriors to share Aye's worries, which was really ...... The daughter is really stupid, and she really doesn't know what she can do for her father......

Speaking of this, the insect girl had tears in her eyes and whimpered.

Yang Yuhuan next to him came over, pulled her up, and gave Li Longji a blank look: "The insect mother is the most filial, she shares her worries for you, and even took out her own dowry, but you still reprimanded her"

Li Longji laughed twice: "You are also a woman, and you don't know about military affairs...... Worm Niang, Ye Chang took your gold and silver? ”

"Received ......"

Li Longji frowned, he naturally knew the news, but he wanted to get confirmation from the insect mother

"This dog thief is bold......

Li Longji gradually had murderous intent in his heart, but he heard the worm mother say: "It's just that he said that the recruitment of warriors is absolutely impossible, the soldiers of the world, which soldier is a crossbow and a armor, and only Aya can support the envoy, without Aya's order, he doesn't dare to raise a soldier and a pawn." ”

The killing intent in Li Longji's heart suddenly disappeared: that guy still knows a little bit of truth.

"If that is the case, why does he dare to accept your gold and silver?"

"He said that domestic armor should not be stored, but it could be used to exchange gold and silver for the heads of the Khitan and Xi people to the rest of the Hus in Liaodong."

Worm Niang's words made Li Longji's spirits lift: "What did he say, tell me carefully"

He is now old, indulged in pleasure, and has no intention of political affairs, although he is still happy as before, but he is no longer as willing to concentrate on dealing with border troubles as he was at the beginning. Ye Chang means that without using domestic armor warriors, you can also eliminate border troubles, which is a good idea.

"It is to take gold, silver, silk and silk to buy off the Liaodong Zhuhu such as Murowei and Goguryeo, and make them attack and kill each other with Xi and Khitan, no matter who wins or loses, it is to alleviate the border troubles of the Tang Dynasty."

"Haha......ha With a shallow view, it's good for him to suffer some hardships, but he still has some heart. Hearing this, Li Longji laughed.

He is not an incompetent fool like Zhao Kuangyi of Song Taizong, a good-for-nothing guy except bullying his younger brothers, nieces and children, he naturally knows that it is impossible to destroy the Khitan and Xi people in this way. But Ye Chang didn't dare to recruit troops, even if he knew how to advance and retreat, he wouldn't blame him too much.
