It turned out that according to the idea of His Majesty Li Er, Shaofu added another institution outside the palace, called Da Yingku. The supreme leader is temporarily called the Yingku envoy, tentatively designated as a five-grade official, who is responsible for making money for the inner treasury outside.

The name is easy to understand, which is to fill the treasury! Xu Qilin breathed a sigh of relief, Xiao Ding Ding was fine, and Lao Tzu was still a good man.

"When acting outside, you can't bully the market with the power of the royal family, you can't compete with the people for profit, and you can't ......"

Hey, hey! The master hasn't agreed yet, why did he start the three chapters of the law? Xu Qilin opened his mouth, but he didn't dare to fight with His Majesty Li Er.

This means that in the Tang Dynasty, especially in the early Tang Dynasty, the eunuchs were all nested in the court, and their status was not high; If it was in the Ming Dynasty, there would be a big surplus treasury and directly send eunuchs to various places to act as tax supervisors.

His Majesty Li Er said a lot, and saw that Xu Qilin was sitting as steady as Mount Tai, and there was no fear of difficulties, so he couldn't help but let go of his heart, and secretly said that he was surprised.

Of course he didn't know that if Xu Qilin wanted to make money, there were many ways. Now that you have the name of the royal family, you can throw off your arms and do a big job!

It's just that Xu Qilin feels at a loss no matter how he thinks about it. Make money for the inner library, how can you hug yourself well, a five-grade official, just buy the master? The master's intelligence is so worthless?

His Majesty Li Er was surprised that Xu Qilin seemed to know what to expect, and he didn't care about any constraints. But this kid rolled his eyes, neither agreeing, nor refusing, as if he was weighing something?

After pondering for a while, His Majesty Li Er understood a little. Stinky boy, the five-grade official is not satisfied, and he gave the way to make money to the royal family, and he feels very lost!

His Majesty Li Er snorted heavily, looked at Xu Qilin's eyes, and then said in a deep voice: "If you do a good job, I have my own reward, will I only give you a reward?" ”

Xu Qilin smiled, scratched his head, and said, "Your Majesty is wise, Weichen's careful thinking, you can see through it at a glance." ”

His Majesty Li Er rolled his eyes with tears and laughter, admitting so simply, it was not good to continue to reprimand him.

"This is also a contribution." His Majesty Li Er patted the documents on the table and said, "But since you have been promoted to the envoy of the Wupin Yingku, you have been rewarded." ”

Xu Qilin hurriedly stood up and bowed his hand, and said, "Weichen thanks." "Originally, I wanted to make a real seal, but after being promoted to the official rank, I can be regarded as satisfied.

Secretary Ma Da smiled and listened on the side, knowing that Xu Qilin had become His Majesty Li Er's confidant and the rake of the royal family.

When he gets older and makes achievements, the degree branch will have a place for him. The small is a waiter, and the big is a scholar, which is a very likely thing.

His Majesty Li Er breathed a sigh of relief, the matter was solved, and he also had the mood to tease Xu Qilin, and asked with a smile: "The Hainan that Qi Lin said is Yazhou, what are the benefits there, let's hear it." ”

Hey, you're a rabbit, with such long ears?

Xu Qilin scratched his head and scratched his ears, thinking that it was better to say it. Anyway, he can't reach that place, and the court will come forward, and His Majesty Li Er's golden face may be successful.

"This-" Xu Qilin quickly considered his rhetoric and arched his hand: "Weichen often goes to the market to investigate and learn about domestic and foreign commodities and business conditions. Listening to a Hu businessman, the pepper producing area has a hot climate and is close to the sea, so I pondered Hainan, well, that is, Yazhou, the climate and soil are very similar, or pepper can also be introduced. ”

His Majesty Li Er frowned slightly, looked at Xu Qilin, and was speechless for a while.

Ma Daji said: "If it is really as Qi Lin guessed, it can be described as a huge source of wealth. ”

Pepper is not only known as "black gold" in Europe, but also an expensive luxury item in ancient China, with the nickname of "Golden Pill Messenger".

There is pepper in the house, which is a symbol of status and wealth; Being able to use it to cook food is a noble and decent thing.

Legend has it that Zhang Qian brought back pepper when he traveled to the Western Regions, but he did not succeed in bringing back pepper cultivation methods. China first introduced pepper in China in 1947, and it was successfully planted in Qionghai, Hainan.

Because during the Han and Tang dynasties, shipping was not prosperous, and imported pepper was all on the Silk Road. The cost of transportation is extremely high, and pepper is more valuable.

In the Song Dynasty, shipping was developed and foreign trade was prosperous, and pepper was transported into China in large quantities. But among the people, it is still a rare ingredient.

Of course, His Majesty Li Er knew the value of pepper, and when he heard Xu Qilin say this, he couldn't help but be moved, so he asked, "Does Qi Lin know the method of pepper planting?" ”

Xu Qilin thought for a while and said: "Now that you know its origin, you can inquire about the planting method." It's just that Yazhou is thousands of miles away, which is extremely inconvenient. ”

"But it's in a hurry." His Majesty Li Er stroked his beard and temporarily let go of his eagerness.

At that time, Guangzhou, Yazhou, Leizhou and other places were the territories of Feng An, the Duke of Geng, although he had declared himself a vassal to the Tang Dynasty and left his son Feng Zhidai in Chang'an, but the actual control of the imperial court was not strong.

The reason is simple, it is collectively known as Lingnan, "a long distance, treacherous terrain, and a miasma plague", and it is a place of exile for sinners.

Of course, if the imperial court wants to make a will, Feng Ang will never disobey it. But this matter, success or failure is still between the two, but there is no need to be too anxious.

Of course, His Majesty Li Er didn't know that Xu Qilin knew about pepper planting, and if he couldn't get pepper seedlings, he used seeds to raise seedlings, which took a longer time, but as long as the climate and soil were suitable, the probability of success was extremely high.

Xu Qilin didn't want to go so far, and spent several years just to grow pepper. At least for now, he doesn't have that motivation.

Everything is basically finalized, Xu Qilin is waiting for the big surplus library to be built, and he will be the envoy of the surplus library. His Majesty Li Er also verbally promised to give him 20,000 yuan in start-up funds, which gave him full confidence.

Xu Qilin retreated, and before he had taken a few steps, the little son followed. This girl is used to it, and when she comes up, she pulls Xu Qilin's hand.

What is spicy and natural, Xu Qilin smiled faintly, and didn't care, just like leading his little sister, chatting while walking.

"Although Her Royal Highness the princess is frail, she must strengthen her exercise and persevere. As the days go by, the body will be strong. ”

Xu Qilin really hopes that this cute little public act can live well, and when he was a child, he was frail and sickly, and there are really not a few people who have become strong after conditioning and training. For example, that martial arts guru Elio Gracie.

Even if Xiao Gongju can't become an athlete, he should pay more attention to recuperation and exercise, and it is not impossible to live a long life. There are many celebrities with poor physique and long life.

The little boy nodded his little head and said, "I am often active, you told me this, I remember it." ”

Xu Qilin didn't know what kind of exercise Xiao Gongju used, and said: "Walking is the best exercise, gradually increase the amount every day, and the feeling is not tired." As long as Her Royal Highness the princess insists, Na Weichen also insists on drawing a small book for Her Royal Highness the princess. ”
