Early in the morning of March 29, Wang Yuanbao came to Chang'an East City outside the Buyun Building, today is the day he invited the Chang'an City Liuli Guild to the owners, the stakes are very high, he did not dare to slack off, so just after the hour, he arrived at the Buyun Building.

Originally, he wanted to wrap up Buyunlou, but after that, he learned that a group of literati met here. Although they are wealthy businessmen, they dare not be too arrogant in front of the literati, who knows if there will be future Shangshu and Jingzhao among these literati

After waiting for two hours, Wang Yuanbao did not wait for any guests. He frowned, secretly angry in his heart: did these owners of the Glass Guild think that his main energy was put on the ball market, so they neglected him?

After a while, Wang Yuanbao finally saw one of the people he had invited from an oil wall truck.

"Gu Langjun is here, Ha Luha...... It's a long way off. Wang Yuanbao was angry in his heart, but his face was still kind, and he stepped forward and bowed his hand to the Gu Dongjia.

Gu Dongjia's face was as gloomy as a well, and when he saw him, he said: "Wang Weng, what are you waiting for here, don't wait, no one will come"

"Oh?"

Ye Shiyi invited most of the glaze shops in the east and west cities of the capital to discuss the distribution of glassware shares

"W-what"

Wang Yuanbao's face became extremely ugly, and he asked himself if his reaction was very fast, Ye Chang's side just held a bidding meeting, here he invited the owner of Liuli to discuss the collective countermeasures, but he never thought that Ye Chang's side was faster than him

"Gu Langjun, what's going on, you tell me about it." After composing himself, Wang Yuanbao said in a deep voice.

"I received an invitation from Wang Weng yesterday morning, and I received an invitation from Ye Shiyi in the afternoon." That Gu Dongjia's face was gloomy: "The invitation was sent by Hu Yuanxiang on behalf of Hu Yuanxiang, except for Wang Weng and Mou, everyone received it"

"Hu Yuanxiang, this rat-eyed dog slave"

Hearing the news, Wang Yuanbao immediately understood what was going on.

Hu Yuanxiang was his competitor in the original city competition, and under the introduction of Jia Maoer, he got in touch with Ye Chang. Wang Yuanbao didn't like him, so there was no one when he issued the invitation, but the three generations of Hu Yuanxiang's family operated Liuli in Chang'an, and the connections in the industry were still there, and the news of Wang Yuanbao's invitation was soon known to him. Although Wang Yuanbao's invitation was not in the name of discussing against Ye Chang, since he did not invite Hu Yuanxiang, Hu Yuanxiang would naturally want to sabotage this conference.

"No one informed me ......"

Wang Yuanbao also felt cold at this time, there were more than ten large merchants in Chang'an City who operated glazeware, and none of them went to inform him, it was still this Gu Langjun, because he had always had a bad relationship with the Hu family and did not receive an invitation, so he leaked the news to him.

"Wang Weng, you have to think of a way, yesterday's glassware auction you also know the way, more than 100 pieces of glassware, it was sold 100,000 pieces, whether it is a glass tea set, or a glass treasure mirror, it is very popular, obviously in Chang'an Wang Weng, if we are excluded, not only can not make money on glassware, even the glass in the hand will also be greatly affected"

Gu Langjun's words, how could Wang Yuanbao not understand, but what could he do?

"In your opinion, what should we do?"

"Wang Weng took the lead, leading those of us who had never received the invitation, and went straight to find Ye Shiyilang. Since Wang Weng took over the ball market from Ye Shiyilang, he also has a bit of affection for it, just let us join in and get a piece of the pie, and everything will be naturally stable."

Wang Yuanbao's expression was a little strange, he looked at Gu Langjun, and after a while, he asked, "Let's ...... You're not alone? ”

"Naturally, not only Hu Yuanxiang's dog eyes are low, but only big businessmen, and a few are the same as me, not in his eyes, we discussed together, we feel that we are weak, it is not good to compete with it, only Wang Weng can take the lead, and Hu Yuanxiang can compete"

Wang Yuanbao's mouth was full of bitterness, and he understood Gu Langjun's true intentions. Gu Langjun said it nicely, saying that he had some old friendship with Ye Chang, but in fact, everyone knew that he took over the ball market from Ye Chang, but he was very tricky.

Now let him negotiate with Ye Chang again, there are nothing more than two things, one is to play the original trick again, and the other is to bow his head and apologize to Ye Chang.

But the original trick again? Don't say that for a while, there is no one with weight to exert pressure and influence on Ye Chang, even if there is, who dares at this time? People who are a little well-informed in Chang'an City now know that Ye Chang presented a huge treasure mirror to Yang Yuhuan, which was very happy with the saints, and Ye Chang had just won a big victory in Liaodong, and it didn't cost the imperial court a soldier or an arrow to recover Jili Prefecture

Offering treasures and military exploits, these two are in line with Li Longji's great temperament, with Yang Yuhuan inside, Li Linfu outside, and Ye Chang's backing is so big, it is no longer the situation where there is no one to rely on except for the eldest princess of Yuzhen, and now even if the eldest princess of Yuzhen wants to reach out to Ye Chang, she may not be able to get a good end.

Then the only way is to admit defeat to Ye Chang......

Originally, Wang Yuanbao wanted to concentrate on Chang'an City Liulixing to fight against Ye Chang, but he was torn apart by Ye Chang's glassware quota allocation, and even before he had time to use his strategy, he was already stillborn. Under such circumstances, how could Wang Yuanbao not doubt that all of this was conceived by Ye Chang in advance

If so......

Cold sweat broke out on Wang Yuanbao's forehead, and the cold hairs all over his body stood up, as if there was an extremely fierce and cunning beast, showing sharp teeth behind his back.

At this time, Wang Yuanbao really regretted it in his heart, he shouldn't have offended Ye Chang.

From the second year of Tianbao when he took away the right to operate the ball market from Ye Chang, to now the fifth year of Tianbao, it is less than four years on a monthly basis, and Ye Chang's revenge has arrived.

"The matter...... Let me think again, think again. Wang Yuanbao hesitated for a long time, and finally said slowly

Gu Langjun's eyes were full of disappointment, he felt that Wang Yuanbao was constantly interrupted, and he really didn't have the wisdom of the shopping mall for thirty years. However, he knows his own family affairs, and the deep contradictions between him and Hu Yuanxiang are even better than Wang Yuanbao and Hu Yuanxiang, if he doesn't have Wang Yuanbao's help, he will run to see Ye Chang, and Ye Chang will not take care of him.

"Wang Weng, we all know that we do business know that there is no grudge in this world that cannot be let go, only the word that cannot be let go. If we can bring more benefits to Ye Shiyi than Hu Yuanxiang, it is a little misunderstanding before, how can Ye Shiyi take it to heart? What we want, it's just Wang Weng, you admit your mistake to Ye Shiyi, let's open the door to do business, you can make money by admitting your mistake, what is wrong you can't admit, to put it mildly, it is to recognize your father and mother, it's just like that" In a hurry, Gu Langjun said to Wang Yuanbao.

Wang Yuanbao sighed: "I know...... Okay, I'll have someone send a prayer post to Ye Chang's mansion...... No, I'll go to his house to greet you. Alas, the original thought was so bad."

He thought about it, and in order to show his sincerity, he asked people to go back and prepare heavy gifts, and prepared to go straight to Ye Chang's mansion. While he was still giving orders, he saw several literati staggering over, two of whom he recognized.

"Isn't this Wang Weng, why do you have time to come to Buyun Tower today?" One of the men he knew bowed his head to him.

"It turned out to be Mr. He and Mr. Fei." Wang Yuanbao had something in his heart, just said hello, turned around and left, his dejected appearance fell into the eyes of He and Fei, the two looked at each other, and they were a little unhappy in their hearts.

When Li Shizhi was the prime minister, even the people who brought them were also in high status, and Wang Yuanbao couldn't help but stammer when he saw them, but now, he didn't even want to say a few more words.

"This prince looks rich and compelling...... I don't know who it is? A thin scribe who was with them asked.

"Ah, Brother Zimeixian, this Wang Weng is Wang Yuanbao, a famous rich man in Chang'an City, the so-called rich rival country, that is, him." Mr. He said with a smile.

Zimei is Du Fu, he is closer to Li Shiyi's faction, and this time he went to Beijing to prepare to participate in the election. Li Yong's death had a great impact on him, making him realize that there were indeed treacherous evils in the Tang Dynasty, and he was so strong that he was determined to become a leader and compete with those treacherous evils.

Although Li Shizhi is no longer in the prime minister, the young master of the crown prince is also a prominent lord, and Du Fu can be regarded as a person who is more likely to recommend him. He traveled back and forth to Chang'an City, and he was familiar with Li Shizhi's guests, and this time He and Fei invited Shilin Confucian students to a banquet, and he was also invited.

On the Buyun Building, there were already a few people who arrived first, and these Confucian students were noisy together, and they had to toss for half a day. Although Du Fu felt that these false etiquette were really boring, he had to toss with everyone.

At three o'clock, the invitees arrived, and the food and wine began to come up. Du Fu's family background is average, and he didn't need to worry about money with Ye Chang before, but after the two broke up, although Ye Chang still sent people to send money and food through his house as before, he returned all of them. The prices in Chang'an City are expensive, like this table of wine and food, there is no 100,000 yuan to get it, seeing this table full of wine and food, Du Fu couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Verses like "Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road" did not come out of thin air, or even a work of indignation.

"Drink to win"

"Drink to win"

In any case, everyone was eating and drinking, and Du Fu could only follow the crowd. After three rounds of drinking, He Langjun and Fei Langjun exchanged glances, and then He Langjun spoke: "Although Chang'an is good, it is not my place to live for a long time, you are all my best friends, we are like-minded, and there is a banquet in life, maybe after today, we will go our separate ways......"

"Why did He Langjun say this?" Fei Langjun said in surprise.

"In the past, I was in Chang'an, because this was the best place in my Tang Dynasty, and it was a place where I was well-dressed. But when I look at Chang'an recently, I only feel that the copper stinks in the sky, and it is not as quiet as before......"

Everyone was very surprised, if you talk about copper smell, this He Langjun is also very good yellow and white things, at this time he sighed, how much people feel uncomfortable.

"He Langjun must have been moved, what made you so depressed?" Fei Langjun asked again.

"My generation lives in Chang'an, what are you doing? It's just that he can reach the will of heaven in his writings, become an official, and live up to his ambitions? The officials of the Tang Dynasty were selected by the Holy Will, and they held a hundred positions for the Son of Heaven. Therefore, according to the law of the Tang Dynasty, officials are not allowed to do business, but just yesterday, there were six high-quality officials, bidding for the looted treasures, extravagant and indulgent, unscrupulous"

He Langjun gushed endlessly, in his mouth, yesterday's bidding was Ye Chang's heinous act. He Langjun is worthy of being a literati, and the last man also chanted a poem: "Shi Chong's curtain covers the water, and Wang Rong cone breaks Li......

He groaned halfway, but forgot about the other half for a while, and after holding it for a while, he said with a red face: "In short, this Ye Eleven, arrogant and shameless."

After he finished speaking, Fei Langjun over there stroked his palm and said: "Exactly, exactly, Brother He said, Fei also felt that it was very inappropriate, that Ye Shiyi acted really not in line with the official system of the imperial court, how could he be like this, bad for my Tang Dynasty Atmosphere In the past, Tibet praised Donglu to my Tang Dynasty, and he was thrifty, it is said that in order to save expenses, he lived in Chang'an City for ten cents a night, and he did not eat in the morning, and he was really hungry and picked up the Hu cakes abandoned by people on the street to satisfy his hunger. Tibet is prosperous, it can be seen that one or two of my Tang Dynasty officials should be like this, that Ye eleven small officials, but dare to bad the wind of the temple, it is really annoying, annoying"

The people present looked at each other, these two sang and harmonized, and the spearhead was pointed at Ye Chang, although these people are not very familiar with officialdom, they also understand that they are definitely not out of nowhere.

Du Fu next to him had a cold expression and a cold gaze.

Du Fu didn't expect that today's meeting would be related to Ye Chang. He really didn't want to hear Ye Chang's name, but when he learned that Ye Chang had made meritorious contributions in the frontier to recover Jili Prefecture, he used water instead of wine in his own home and silently worshiped heaven and earth. He is very familiar with Ye Chang, and he knows that Ye Chang's life is indeed more luxurious than ordinary people, but Ye Chang has his own explanation for his luxury: he can make money, if he is not a little extravagant and scatters the money, then the money will become scrap metal.

Du Fu initially felt absurd about Ye Chang's theory, but later observed the people's livelihood and the world, but gradually felt that it made sense. A person who is extravagant on the basis of his own income, as long as he does not waste it, is indeed beneficial to those who serve that person.

"What I said is, if such a character is arrogant, my Tang Dynasty will not be a country" said indignantly: "He is just a cockfighting lackey, fortunately he has become an official, how dare he do this"

Someone started, and suddenly the crowd was turbulent, and everyone began to accuse Ye Chang. Seeing this scene, He and Fei had joy between their eyebrows, and they knew that the matter was halfway.

They struck the iron with heat, and Fei Langjun said: "How can I sit back and watch such villains in charge of public opinion, such scholars, and wise people? Brother He, don't be in a hurry to leave, let's all ......"

When he said this, his voice began to be lowered, and everyone's heads gradually gathered together, and then someone who knew what was right inhaled a cold breath: "This is what Qianfu is referring to...... If it is really done, we people will not be inferior to the imperial history."
