Chapter 28: Open and Honest
As soon as Li Bai's short song came out, none of the young talents at the banquet said they wanted to compose poems anymore. Fortunately, the banquet is here, and it's time to end, otherwise the atmosphere behind will be a little awkward.
"Elder Ye, I don't know what he intends to do with this painting..." After the banquet, Prince Li Haoyuan asked suddenly, but the intention of begging for it was already obvious.
However, Ye Zan pretended not to understand, turned his head to glance at the third prince Li Haoran, then looked at the little girl Li Yun, and said with a smile: "Yun'er researched ink for me, then I will give this short song to Yun." Let's do it as a reward, I hope Yun'er won't dislike it."
Although this is not a love poem, it is after all the poem written by the master uncle. How many people in the Yuqing sect can get the gift poem from the master uncle? When Li Yun heard this, she immediately showed a bit of surprise, and said quickly: "I don't dislike it! No, thank you, Master Uncle."
"Hehe, not bad, not bad, and indeed only my younger sister is worthy of the word Elder Ye's poem." Li Haoyuan did not show any displeasure, but instead nodded in praise.
After the banquet, the young talents dispersed, but Prince Li Haoyuan and Second Prince Li Haomin did not leave immediately, expressing that they wanted to discuss something with Ye Zan.
After the remnant seats were removed, the staff of Tianxiang Pavilion rearranged a few tables, and then made fragrant tea for everyone, Ye Zan and the others sat down again.
After the buddy retired, the crown prince Li Haoyuan didn't make any detours, and asked straight to the point: "Elder Ye, I heard from my father that this time you and I, Datang, will cooperate to establish a chamber of commerce called Datang Communication?"
"That's right. Strictly speaking, it's a cooperation with the Tang royal family." Ye Zan nodded, then turned to the second prince, Li Haomin, and said, "As for the method of making thousands of miles of sound transmission and the base station, I also left it to the king. , if you Qingyue Sword Sect are interested, you can also ask the king for a copy."
"Elder Ye can make the decision for Yu Qingzong?" Li Haomin was a little surprised. After all, in this world, there are not many people who are willing to announce the technology. What's more, he has also learned about this communication plan. If this thing is really going to be done, it will be absolutely terrible. I don't know about practitioners, but it is definitely a huge source of income in the secular world.
Of course, it is a huge source of income. Think about the communication companies in the technological world and the earth age, which one is not very rich. Especially those so-called national communication companies, all kinds of packages are so popular that you spend a lot of money and think you are taking advantage.
Ye Zan smiled and said: "There's no such thing as making decisions. I wish more sects could join in, so that people in the entire Shenhua domain can communicate without hindrance. This is a great merit."
Merit is something that Ye Zan uses as an excuse now. But in fact, he himself doesn't know how great benefits he will bring to himself in the end by doing these things.
"Then, can I really report back to the sect?" Li Haomin still didn't believe it, fearing that Ye Zan was testing him.
"Haha," Ye Zan laughed for a while, shook his head, and said, "Second Prince, don't worry, I don't want to pay such a high price just to target someone."
Prince Li Haoyuan listened for a while, and then said: "I have seen Elder Ye's plan, and I am deeply impressed by the details of the plan. It's just that this Datang Communication will definitely become the largest chamber of commerce in Datang in the future, and its influence is huge. , I am afraid that even the court will be inferior."
Obviously, Li Haoyuan knew about Ye Zan's proposal to let the third prince preside over the Datang Communication, so he couldn't help thinking too much.
Don't look at Li Haoyuan is the heir of the Tang Dynasty now, but look at the body of the lord Li Shude, especially with the adjustment of Ye Zan's two elixirs, it may not be a problem to live another forty or fifty years. And this also means that his position as the crown prince is not very stable, as long as he does not ascend the throne for a day, there will be variables.
However, when Datang Communications really rolls out the communication system, the volume of Datang Communications will be unimaginably large. As the principal of Datang Communications,
The position of the third prince Li Haoran will also reach a level that can threaten the position of the crown prince.
Thinking of this, even Li Haoran beside him couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat. If it really came to that point, even if he himself had no interest in the throne, he would inevitably be suspected. In the end, he would either really fight for the throne, or wait for the crown prince to be removed soon after he ascended the throne. In fact, don't wait for the crown prince to ascend the throne, I'm afraid Li Shude will already be afraid of him before that time.
"Well, Elder Ye, it seems that I am indeed not suitable to host the Datang Communication." Li Haoran smiled wryly, and scolded himself why he agreed so happily yesterday, didn't he think about the consequences? Now, if I refuse like this again, I am afraid I will offend this Elder Ye again.
"The prince is too worried. Datang Communication is just a chamber of commerce. If you are afraid that it will be too large, you can split it up. For example, if you divide it into two chambers by north and south, you can split it into two chambers of commerce. If you divide it by state capital, you can further split it up. However, at the beginning of its establishment, in order to unify resources, it was necessary to order out a family. When everything is built, Datang Communications will only have to maintain equipment and collect fees, and the split will not have much impact. "Listen Seeing the crown prince's concern, Ye Zan immediately thought of the way Huaguo split up the state-owned communication company in the ancient earth era.
"Split?" Li Haoyuan fell into deep thought for a moment.
In fact, no matter how the communication company is, it is just a communication company. Maybe in this world, equipment everywhere needs some armed guards, but as the saying goes, power grows out of the barrel of a gun. Who can sit in that position depends on who holds the knife in the end.
"It's true that I'm worrying too much," Li Haoyuan seemed to have figured it out, and suddenly he seemed a little more relieved, and said to Li Haoran: "You don't have to worry about the third brother, just set up Datang Communication, and come if you need anything." Find me."
After chatting for a while, Li Haoyuan and Li Haomin got up to say goodbye and left Tianxiang Pavilion. As for Li Haomin, whether he will immediately take the refining materials and report to Qingyue Sword Sect is his business.
In the attic, Li Haoran was still a little hesitant. Although Ye Zan gave the method of splitting up, he still felt that Datang Communication was a bit like a hot potato.
"Third prince, do you want to practice Taoism?" Ye Zan asked suddenly.
Prince Li Haoyuan did not practice Taoism, so that he could ascend the throne and sit in the palace in the future, and become the ninety-five supreme being favored by God. But the third prince, Li Haoran, didn't practice Taoism because he didn't have the qualifications to practice.
Hearing Ye Zan's question, Li Haoran was taken aback for a moment, then showed a bitter expression, and said, "I'm not afraid of Elder Ye's jokes, I'm not greedy for worldly pleasures, nor coveting the throne, it's just that this body has long been proven incapable of cultivation. cannot be reached.”
