In the middle of the night, when the moon is like a hook, who is going home to play and sing?

After Ye Tan came back, he was very tired and went to bed after eating. But what happened in the palace just now, he knew that good things are hard to come by.

After seeing Li Zhi, he found that the girl was getting more and more beautiful and cute. However, Li Shimin looked at him as if he was guarding against thieves. In the end, he could only be scolded and then had a meal with Empress Changsun in the palace.

After playing for a long time, when he came back in the evening, he knew that he wouldn't be able to get in soon.

Noila Mo did not sleep, but was packing her belongings. Ye Tan would have to leave tomorrow, so this could be regarded as a kind of compensation.

He thought about what Ye Tan had done during this period. Hey, it was really sad that he still had to go through all the hard work when he didn't get anything after all his hard work. But he was just a cook and wouldn't have other ideas.

It can only be like this.

Early the next morning, Ye Tan got up and washed up, and saw the smiles on the faces of the people standing in the yard. It seemed that they were all homesick.

After breakfast, he looked at the sky and saw that it was not bad. Ye Tan didn't say anything, just got into the car and left Chang'an.

Three days later, he returned to Songzhou City. Maybe it had been too long since he had been back, and he was actually a little scared.

Songzhou City is bigger than before, and the city walls are more majestic. Standing at the city gate, you have a feeling of coming from Chang'an, but the places in Chang'an are all dilapidated, but here they are brand new, and there are signs at the city gate.

There were quite a few people there, and you could tell at a glance that they were not collecting taxes, but just watching the fun.

Wherever there are people, there is excitement to watch, but of course, there is also trouble.

But for someone who has been away from home for a long time, nothing can compare to it, so I just went in.

The street was still flat and there were many people here. Ye Tan just took a nap and then turned back to Yejiacun.

As a result, Ye Tan stayed in Yejiacun for half a month, eating, drinking and having fun, and did a lot of things in the autumn breeze.

It was only when Li Gang and others turned against each other that he slowly appeared on the street riding a withered dragon.

Go to the academy first. As soon as you get to the door, you see Li Gang standing there with a rosy face and an awe-inspiring look. After seeing Ye Tan, the corners of his mouth raised slightly and he said, "You still know how to come back? You know that something happened recently."

How big of a deal is it?”

Although Li Gang said so, judging from his appearance, it was definitely not a big deal. He was probably complaining about why Ye Tan didn't come back for so long.

"Master Li, aren't I just taking a rest?" Ye Tan walked over and said flatteringly.

"What's the point of self-cultivation? With such an older child, you don't do so many political affairs, but just eat, drink and have fun at home. Is it normal?" Li Gang is from the ancients. The ancients believed that when young people take a break, they are not doing their jobs properly, so they speak more directly.

"With you here, I have nothing to worry about." Ye Tan said with a smile, and then followed him into Fanlong Academy.

I haven’t seen you for a while, and everything here is changing, seemingly every day. This change is subconscious, not the kind where high-rise buildings suddenly appear, but something more inexplicable.

Because the weather is relatively hot, almost all children are not in school now and are on summer vacation.

Regarding this, Li Gang was originally reluctant. A child's study time is not long. In this period of time, it is almost impossible to study well. You have to seize the time to study. You are still going through such trouble. Is it appropriate?

But doing this now is not for the kind of rest in modern society. One is because the weather is hot, and the other is because they need to go back and report when they study here. This kind of report is the most important.

The two came to the office. Although the weather was still very hot, there were no green grass and trees around the academy, but there was a continuous river in the academy, so it was not very hot.

After someone served tea, Li Gang looked at Ye Tan and asked with concern, "Have you been working hard these past few months?"

Although Ye Tan rested for a while, he was actually a bit strong on the outside but weak on the inside. When he heard Li Gang's words, he slumped on his chair and said without any sign of sitting down, "It's a narrow escape."

Then in a quiet atmosphere, Ye Tan told some of the things he had encountered. This was definitely not for sympathy, but because many of these things had not been prepared for him in the court.

, I’m afraid I won’t be able to run away.

"Since ancient times, everyone has known the dangers of the noble family, but who dares to touch it? If they do, a lot of bad things will happen. Therefore, everyone acts as if they have not seen it. Although they know it is poison, they still have to drink it properly.

In the end, everyone was poisoned to death. There is just such a saying. There is no thousand-year dynasty, but there is a thousand-year family. However, His Majesty may not have thought that his own backyard would be so quick to take over theirs.

It’s all about family business.”

Li Gang is an old man, and he is a mature person, so he naturally knows some things, so he is a little helpless when he speaks.

Looking at the old age spots on his face, if it were normal, combined with the white hair, he would still look a bit kind to an old man, but at this time, it seemed a bit cruel to age.

The reason why he is the only one in the academy now is because almost all the other gentlemen have gone out or gone home. A vacation is too long and they have got too many things, so there are still many people who go home to show off.

"Where's Mr. Lishi?" Ye Tan didn't want to continue talking about the capital city. It was all a mess and the words he said were very disgusting. He could only ask about other things.

"He, I don't know what happened. Since the last time he went out, he went to Tangshan and hasn't been back for a long time. I don't know if he is about to become enlightened or something else." There was something unexpected in Li Gang's words.

There is a trace of envy, it seems that the old man is not without desires and desires.

Ye Tan knew that Mr. Li Shi was a student of Tian Xiangzi. Although he had left long ago, you can't just leave if you want to. Sometimes, if you leave, you have to be skinned, so he may be

To avoid Ye Tan.

After chatting with Li Gang for a while, Ye Tan left the academy. Zhou Gouzi at the door was still so serious. Just by looking at him, he knew that he had something to ask for. Ye Tan said dissatisfiedly, "If you need anything, just say,

Is this appropriate for a person like you?"

"Master Hou." Even though Zhou Laogou is young, his face is really not good-looking. When he started to flatter, Ye Tan wanted to vomit, "Just stand there and say it."

"Master Hou, I have a relative in my family who wants to study in the academy, do you think?" Zhou Laogou may not have asked for help many times in his life. When he said these words, he blushed fiercely.

"Just study. What do you mean by this? What is the different identity of this person?" Ye Tan asked strangely. Ye Tan was still very generous to these people.

"No, it's just that when the child was born, he was a little disabled and half of his arm was missing." Zhou Laogou really felt embarrassed when he said this. In the Tang Dynasty, if a person is not very distinctive, you must at least be handsome.

Otherwise, don't think about things like going to school. Of course, it's okay if you have a background, so if he makes this request, it's quite pertinent.

"What's your name?" Ye Tan did not discriminate against such people, but showed great respect for these people who could live a strong life.

"My name is Zhou Yupeng. He is a child from a family in my former hometown. He is very smart, but he looks a little thin." Although Zhou Laogou doesn't think much of this guy, this name is really good. He should be a smart person.

Named for him.

"As long as he can speak and can keep up after three months of study, let him go to Ye's School. If he can't do it in the future, you can stay at home." After Ye Tan finished speaking, he got on the horse and left, while Zhou Laogou

He knelt on the ground with a sincere look on his face.

After Ye Tan mounted his horse, he went directly to Jiulipu. The scale there has now expanded many times. Many of the former wastelands have now become markets, and the daily transactions are also huge. It's not that people from the Central Plains don't know how to do business, it's just that some

Sometimes they can't let go of their airs, but once they let go, they can show their abilities. Now more and more people are starting to pay attention to this.

Gao Yuan, the county magistrate of Jiuliupu, got up very late today because he spent a lot of effort last night to mediate the relationship between several sellers. Don't look at these people who are usually very serious, but to be honest,

Because of this, the economy here is now improving, but bad luck has also followed, and various frauds have also appeared. No, someone used a little trick to almost deceive a person from outside the Great Wall.

But the people outside are not the same as the people in the Central Plains. They seem to recognize blood and knives more. If the policemen in Jiulipu were not very capable, I would be in trouble.

When he heard that Ye Tan was coming, he quickly got up and washed his face and came over. His face was just a little swollen. Although he knew that Ye Tan didn't care, he was still a little embarrassed.

"Lord Governor." Looking at Ye Tan who was sitting there drinking tea, he quickly came over to salute, and at the same time asked his servants to give him a cup.

"How have you been lately?" Ye Tan asked. During the time since he left, many things have become a little different, and he needs to understand them clearly.

"Everything is fine, Lord Marquis. Jiulipu is now the largest animal trading place in the frontier fortress. There are many people coming and going every day, but..." After taking a sip of hot tea, he felt much better. After Gao Yuan said this, he

There seems to be a little hesitation.

"What's the matter? Tell me. Is there anything else we can't talk about?" Ye Tan asked, this guy has gained a lot of weight recently.

"Originally, the horses we have here only have about 20 horses, but recently a group of people came and asked for more than 50 horses. This is a bit confusing." Gao Yuan was a little embarrassed when he said this.

, there seems to be other reasons.

"What's going on, tell me?" Ye Tan is also surprised. Now the people in the grassland regard this place as their hometown. How can this happen?

"In the past, most of them were horses raised by the prairie people themselves or some raw horses. You could buy them and ride them on anything. But recently, the official found that they actually got a lot of military horses, and you can tell at a glance that they are

A good horse." Gao Yuansheng is here, so he naturally knows something.

"You mean something happened in Tubo?" Ye Tan asked doubtfully, having received no news.

"I don't know about this, but those horses probably don't belong to the herd on our grassland, but seem to be from some tribes who were defeated and robbed." Gao Yuan thought for a while and analyzed.

"How is our horse group doing now?" After Ye Tan separated from Tubo Ludongzan, there was a group of horses. Kulong and his mother were both from that group. The leader was a big white horse, which was very beautiful.

Tough. At that time, Ye Tan said that the horse group belonged to Songzhou and no one was allowed to catch the horses. Moreover, there were some soldiers stationed not far away. Although the defenses were changed frequently, this area was very demanding.

Strict.

"Of course it's okay. Although many places are dry this year, we have a river there, so the pasture is very lush, so there is no shortage of food. I heard that many horses are pregnant. It seems that they will definitely grow stronger next year.

Less."

"Okay, you should watch what happens here first. If you encounter a really good horse, remember to use the government money to dismount the horse. Maybe at the end of this year, I will have to go to the Turks."

Gao Yuan nodded, indicating that he understood that although they were not in the court, it did not mean they did not know about some things.

After leaving Jiuliupu, when it was getting late, Ye Tan arrived at Songzhou City. Although the current Songzhou City has not yet been fully built, the scale of the big city can already be seen. He led the horse and walked on the street.

There are many eyes of all kinds. Although he has not been back for a while, his horse is much more famous than him. Everyone knows that the backbone of Songzhou is back.

As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw Qian Liye standing there, looking at Ye Tan with a smile and saying, "Master, you are back."

"Well, the weather is so hot, so don't come out if you have nothing to do." Ye Tan said with a smile, handed the reins to him, and walked in.

Because it was almost night, there were many people in the yard. Da Ya and Er Ya were pushing a small cart there, and Ye Da’s wife Yuping had already given birth to a son named Ye Zhun. She didn’t know what that meant.

.

After greeting these people, he returned to the study.

Soon, Ye Liu handed over some information. Although Kong Dade helped him during his absence, there were some things he still needed to see.

When the smell of noodles appeared in front of him, Ye Tan realized that it was already midnight, and Ye Da stood there with a smile on his face and said to Ye Tan, "Master, it's time to eat."

"Oh, it's uncle, why don't you go and accompany your aunt?" Ye Tan took the noodles with a smile and started to eat them. It tasted good, it was really delicious.

"She has also eaten and has gone to bed long ago. The child is still young, so sleep is very important." Ye Da now lacks everything. He has money, children and a wife. He already feels a little wantless.

, I know what he is thinking every time I see his cracked face.

"Okay, just take it away and remember to rest early." Ye Tan finished eating quickly, then wiped his mouth and continued to read the information. The feeling now is a bit like the college entrance examination.

"Hey." Ye Da carefully put it away and walked out of Ye Tan's study. Normally, even he was not qualified to come in. In Ye Mansion, this place is like a holy place.

I remembered that this time in Yejia Village, my master Wuchenzi took his apprentice Daolin out. I heard that he was looking for someone, but I didn't know what it meant.
