If Lu Qi continued to stay in the farewell pavilion, he would only be more depressed.

Except for the messenger sent by the "noble lord", three groups of people rushed to see Ye Chang off, but they all came up empty. Although Ye Chang was given silk by the Son of Heaven to be returned, this incident did not affect the expectations of the clear-eyed people for Ye Chang's future, on the contrary, more people saw something hidden from Li Longji's actions.

If you really annoy Ye Chang, why bother giving silk and driving out of Chang'an.

Because Ye Chang is too young, if he is reused now, twenty years later, Li Longji died, and the crown prince succeeded to the throne, but Ye Chang was less than forty, and he had become an important minister in the court, and in another twenty years, Ye Chang was less than sixty years old and became the elder of the three dynasties, and his power and prestige were only afraid that it would reach a terrible point.

Therefore, Li Longji gave the silk back, which may have the meaning of teaching Ye Chang a lesson, but it may also be for the sake of future generations, leaving a prime minister's talent for future generations.

Ye Chang was reluctant to ponder these things, he was just looking forward to returning to Xiuwu County as soon as possible. Growing one's economic strength first, and then enhancing one's influence, may be able to influence the current situation in the Tang Dynasty and avoid a possible Anshi Rebellion.

The Anshi Rebellion can be avoided, that is because he is unwilling to live in an era of displacement, but he really doesn't have much respect for the Li Tang royal family - Yang Fu is dead, but if there is no connivance of the concubine Yang Huan, without the protection of Princess Xianyi, how can a mere Yang Fu kill Ye Shu? His brother was involved in the internal strife of the Li Tang clan for no reason, Ye Chang avenged his brother and killed Yang Fu, which can only be said to be the end of a while, as for the concubine Yang Hui, if there is a chance, Ye Chang will also have to end up with him.

If there is no opportunity, then think of creating opportunities.

As for the twenty-nine mother......

Touching the letter in his arms, Ye Chang smiled bitterly, that twenty-nine mother still didn't give up, when she learned that she had left Chang'an, she actually asked the eldest princess Yuzhen to send someone to send a letter, and the content of the letter was really not known to outsiders.

"When I went to Chang'an, it was really dusty, but when I came back, it was an easy journey."

The monk said beside him, and his words were also extremely emotional. When they went, Ye Chang still had a few dollars on him, and he was completely empty-handed, with a bowl, a cane and a robe, and he hurried to eat and sleep on the road. Now on the return trip, there is a group of people waiting around him, and the most important thing is that Ye Chang is not short of money in his hands now - Li Longji gave the silk back, and those silks were replaced by him for gold money, which is worth hundreds of yuan, and he can be said to be a little rich.

Naturally, the most precious thing in Ye Chang's eyes is the calligraphy works from the hands of Zhang Xu and Yan Zhenqing, there are more than 30 pieces, which will become his heirloom, and after a few decades, even if it is to be sold, it will have to be auctioned one by one.

On the way back, they took the Yellow River waterway, so it only took four days to reach Wuzhi. For the ship at this time, Ye Chang was very helpless, no wonder Jianzhen crossed to the east seven times to succeed, whether the boat at this time was safe or convenient, not to mention that it could not be compared with the ships of later generations, even the ships of the Song Dynasty!

It will take decades or hundreds of years, after watertight cabins and other shipbuilding skills are used, Huaxia ushered in a big peak period in its maritime history, but Ye Chang didn't want to wait until that time.

"Cui Xiujing, how many people do you need to build such a boat?" After going ashore, pointing to the boat behind him, Ye Chang asked.

Cui Xiujing is the Silla slave, and Ye Chang has no choice but to buy such a person: Datang is very strict with the management of private shipbuilding, and he can hardly get a decent shipwright, so he has to find Silla people to make do with it. At this time, Silla's shipbuilding skills are said to be not inferior to those of the Tang Dynasty, just as Xi Man's skills in man-made cars are also unique in the Tang Dynasty.

"With enough materials, with more than a dozen people, it took a month to build such a ship." Cui Xiujing replied cautiously.

This is a Silla man about forty years old, with the same sword face as most Silla men, and at this time there were many Silla people who were slaves and servants in the Tang Dynasty, and most of them were proficient in the Tang language. Cui Xiujing knew that his master was very prestigious, so he was cautious, lest one accidentally anger the other party.

"More than 10 people, ...... a month"

This efficiency is really not high, and the boat that carried them here was slightly better than the ordinary ferry boat in Ye Chang's opinion.

Cui Xiujing didn't know why the new master asked about this, and a thousand words were not as good as a silence, so he only spoke when Ye Chang asked.

From Wuzhi to Xiuwu, if you are faster, you can reach it in half a day, and these two counties have actually been one for a long time in history. They did not study Wuxian County, so they made a detour, because Ye Chang was delayed outside for more than two months and was in a hurry to rush home.

Along the way, it was the eve of the autumn harvest, and the wheat waves on both sides were rolling, but Ye Chang didn't feel happy. Most of the wheat was flat, and there was no husk, and even if it was harvested, it would not be able to grind much flour.

This is inevitable, after a long period of development in the Central Plains, with today's technology, the output has reached the limit.

Next to the official road that is still five or six miles away from Wu Zepi, Ye Chang found that there is one more building, this is a simple temple, and there is only the main hall at present.

"When did I build a temple here, by the side of the road, people from all over the country come and go, but they all have to ......."

Ye Chang was pondering when he saw a monk wearing a purple robe coming out of the temple in a big way, and the pilgrims saluted him one after another. The monk looked at Ye Chang from afar and sneered: "Hey, Ye Shiyi, are you back?" ”

But it was the monk Dao Ning in the Shifang Temple.

He was originally a disciple of the Liu family, and the nephew of Liu Fengyin, the current patriarch of the Liu family, went to Shifang Temple to become a monk, not so much because he wanted Buddhism, but because he wanted the temple property of Shifang Temple. It's just that because the relationship between Ye Chang and the first Chunxin is getting better, this Dao Ning, who is always looking for trouble with Ye Chang, has lost his status in the temple, Ye Chang remembers that after the Bodhisattva's trial, he was simply driven out of the Shifang Temple by Chunxin and returned to Liu's house in disgrace, but he appeared in this temple for some reason.

Looking at the brand-new lime powder wall in the temple, Ye Chang scratched his head: "I remember this piece, it should be our Ye family's field, right?" ”

This should be the field of the three-room long branch, Dao Ning said with a smile: "Originally, it was your Ye family, but now the surname has been changed to Liu, who let you three-room long branch not fight, and what kind of trouble with my sister!" ”

This is the matter of the three-room long-branch, Ye Chang pouted slightly, the uncle of the third-room long-term branch is self-inflicted, he tried to calculate himself several times, and even the eldest brother Ye Shu's life was lost in Chang'an, he is also responsible. Naturally, the Liu family is the most responsible, and after Yang Fu's death, Ye Chang was already thinking about making the Liu family and the Liu family pay the price.

He didn't bother to pay attention to this Dao Ning, and the dog couldn't spit out human words, so he pulled over a pilgrim next to him: "Aunt Ma, what are you doing here?" ”

"Naturally, I'm worshipping the Bodhisattva, Eleven Lang, what are we Wu Ze...... Jay...... Earth Spirits. The old village woman actually spit out an idiom: "First there was Eleven Lang who was enlightened by immortals, and now there is a Dao Ning master who meets a bodhisattva!" ”

"Huh?"

Ye Chang was stunned for a moment, Daoning, this monk meets a Bodhisattva?

He didn't believe this, what happened to his own encounter with the immortals, he knew it in his heart, when did this Dao Ning meet any Bodhisattva?

Over there, Dao Ning saw that he pulled a pilgrim and asked, and immediately became furious, and walked over and said: "Ye Shiyi, don't make trouble here, I am the treasure of the Shi family, how can I allow you, a liar, to cause trouble here!" ”

"Am I a liar?" Ye Chang was a little surprised.

"Hmph, you're not a liar, what's going on with that head behind you?" Dorning pointed to the goodness and straightness.

Monk Mang touched his head, he couldn't help but be a little inexplicable, what does he have to do with Ye Chang being a liar?

Ye Chang suddenly remembered that Dao Ning was once the confidant of the pure believer monk of Shifang Temple, and the pure faith kept it secret from him, but under his cold eyes, it was very easy for him to figure out what was going on with the appearance of Vedic Bodhisattva. Later, the Bodhisattva's trial case could not be concealed from those who had a heart, and as long as he speculated a little afterwards, it was not difficult to figure out that he was pretending to be a ghost in all this.

Even if others figured it out, they would only think that Ye Chang had such a clever wisdom because of the guidance of the immortal family, but in the hearts of people like Dao Ning, who had an enmity with Ye Chang, they were swaggering and deceiving.

"What's going on with Toutuo, you should ask the first seat of pure faith in Shifang Temple, but Dao Ning, you are afraid that you will not be able to enter Shifang Temple now."

Ye Chang threw out a sentence, then ignored this vulgar monk, and led his team to leave. Dao Ning was originally just arguing with him, but seeing that he greeted everyone behind him, not only to greet Shanzhi, but also those who were obviously servants pretending, and even a Kunlun slave with thick hands and feet and dark skin, Dao Ning felt strange in his heart, and couldn't help but step forward to stop one: "This, who are you, why do you follow this liar......

"Smack!"

A slap slapped heavily on Daoning's face, and the person who pulled him stiffened his face, and his eyes rolled angrily: "Bald donkey, dare to insult my lord!" ”

"Lord...... Lord? ”

"It's my father-in-law! You thief-eyed monk, you dare to say that my lord is a liar, beware of being sent to the government to eat the board! ”

It was Cui Xiujing who smoked Dao Ning, he was sold to Ye Chang, and he was not familiar with his master at this time, but he only knew that he was also a character in Chang'an City. Now a lay monk in the wilderness dares to insult him, and this is his opportunity for this newfound servant to show his faithfulness!

Therefore, this slap was very heavy, and Dao Ning turned around in a half circle, and a clear five-finger palm print suddenly appeared on his face.

Ye Chang glanced back: "Xiujing, let's go." ”

"Yes, Lang Jun!" Cui Xiujing followed in a hurry, realizing that he had done the right thing, and the future would be bright from now on.

Dorning watched from behind, with both fear and jealousy in his eyes.

These people, six men, in addition to one Kunlun slave, there are also two evil-looking Hu people, they are all Ye Chang's slaves?

And two big cars!

Didn't this guy go to Chang'an City to welcome back his brother's coffin, how could he stay in Chang'an City for more than a month and earn a lot of money!

In his heart, Dao Ning was completely envious, jealous and hateful, and he wanted to rush up and shout again, but the hot pain on his face made him control his legs.

"And let this dog slave be proud for a few more days...... Hmph, that Yuan County Lieutenant will not stay in our martial arts cultivation for a lifetime, sooner or later, Yuan County Lieutenant will be transferred, and at that time, ......"

The hatred between the Liu family and Ye Chang was not resolved because of the reconciliation between Ye Neem and the Liu family, and the Liu family hated the most in Ye Chang, except for Ye Neem is Ye Chang, the last incident made Liu Fengyin also eat and beat, and Dao Ning was even driven out of Shifang Temple.

"In front of us is our Wu Zepi, my house is small, so many people live in it, I'm afraid it's a little crowded, and I have to go to my villa when the time comes." Ye Chang pointed to the big locust tree at the head of the village and smiled at the people around him: "Hurry a few more steps, I will cook myself in a few nights, cook delicious food and catch you all!" ”

There is no distinction between superior and inferior in his words, and no one else dares to speak, so he can only "grunt" and swallow his saliva greatly: "Delicious, delicious!" ”

The distance of four or five miles is half an hour. They had just appeared in the distance, and someone in the village saw it: "Cinu, Cinu, your uncle is back!" ”

Xiao Cinu was sitting at the root of the old locust tree at the head of the village, holding his cheeks in a daze, hearing the call, he jumped up, but before he could see Ye Chang clearly, Chunming beside him ran forward.

During Ye Chang's absence, Chunming, Xiang'er and others were all raised under the Fang family, although the Fang family was kind-hearted, it was not Ye Chang after all, and Chunming and Xiang'er did not have Ye Chang's relatives, so Chunming had long been looking forward to Ye Chang's return.

Ye Cinu saw Chunming running up to greet him, he followed and ran a few steps, thought about it wrong, and then turned around and ran: I have to tell my mother first!

He is not very sensible, but he has heard many people talk about his uncle who had gone to pick up his father's coffin, and his father had died. At a young age, he didn't have any concept of life and death, but he also knew that it was not a good thing.

Therefore, when Ye Chang arrived in front of the village, he was already facing the Fang clan and the others who were wearing decaying clothes. Fang Shi greeted her sadly, Ye Chang led her, Cinu, and Xiaoniang to the car in front of them, let them see the coffin on the car, and then whispered: "Sister-in-law's Day mourning, the weather is very hot, and it is not easy to preserve the body, so what I brought is only ashes." ”

As if he hadn't heard what he said, Fang Shi threw himself on top of the coffin, crying loudly and grief-stricken. When she cried, the slave and the little lady cried, one by one, like a tearful person, seeing Ye Chang himself, he couldn't help but burst into tears.

After persuading for a long time, it will stop grief. For those who died violently in a foreign country like Ye Shu, their coffins were not allowed to enter the village according to custom, so they could only park them in the abandoned land temple outside the village and conduct funerals here.

Fang's grief was too great, everything was decided by Ye Chang, fortunately, Ye Dan had experience in doing this kind of thing, and Ye Chang was not too busy. But they wanted to keep a watch, and that night they sent their new servants to the villa, and they themselves stood guard before the ruined temple.

In the dead of night, the slave and the little lady were forced by Ye Chang to go to sleep on the floor, that is, Chunming and Xiang'er also returned to the house, under the torches of the broken earth temple, only Ye Chang and the withered Fang family remained. Fang's filial clothes, perhaps because of excessive sadness, are even more touching.
