No matter how strange Xiaoye behaved, Xu Qilin found an excuse that poisoning had caused something wrong with his brain. Whether it can be good or not, when it will be good, no one can say.

After breakfast, he rushed to the yamen and asked the Assassins how the search was going.

To Xu Qilin's disappointment, the search in the city was fruitless, and the city gate inventory was not found. He barely caught a few of them, but after he saw them, he vetoed them all one by one.

It's very simple, what Xu Qilin saw at that time was not only the figure of the assassin, but also those eyes, which were very special and indescribable. He believed that if he saw it again, he would be able to recognize it.

But now, Xu Qilin ordered to stop the search in the city, but secretly added guards at the city gate. At the same time, after the curfew at the city gates was closed at night, patrols on the streets were intensified.

Despite this, Xu Qilin felt that it was not easy to catch a person in ancient times. What's more, it's just the characteristics of height and physical appearance, which makes too much noise, and it's hard to say how many people will be implicated!

Therefore, the scope of the arrest and arrest is also set in the city, and he does not have much hope that he can catch it.

Putting this matter aside, Xu Qilin did a cursory inspection of the relevant work after he left. Basically, they all did it according to his arrangement, and after more than a year of learning and familiarization, the officials have mastered the process and are doing a good job.

In fact, although Xu Qilin is in Gaochang, the letters have not been broken. He was aware of some of the issues and had provided guidance.

Now the autumn harvest is the focus, this year's grain, cotton harvest is very good, with the popularization of fertilizer, the output has been steadily increased.

In a blink of an eye, it was noon, and the people sent by Xu Qilin also came back to pay attention. I bought a good collar of soft armor in the business area outside the city, and Xu Qilin wore it a little big, but he was satisfied.

The soft armor can't resist the strong bow and hard crossbow, and the knife can't prevent the spear from stabbing, but a small crossbow like last night is enough.

To say that you are not afraid of death is nonsense. Xu Qilin hasn't enjoyed it yet, but he doesn't want to die in such a daze.

Not only has he strengthened his personal protection, but Xu Qilin has also improved the security force of his own house. Even if he didn't say it, the yamen knew about it and would naturally ensure the safety of the chief.

Wu Xiang was in the capital, Luda stayed in Gaochang, and Xu Qilin also felt the lack of personal guards. Not just quantitatively, but also qualitatively.

Therefore, he sent people to recruit some brave and reliable warriors to enrich the bodyguard team.

Before this happened, the security work was indeed very lax. Xu Qilin also makes a show from time to time, comes to visit the micro-service, and observes the people's suffering. But now, he must think more and take more precautions.

Who the hell wants their own life? Xu Qilin was puzzled, and on the way home, he was still struggling with his brains.

Originally, the lamb shabu was cooked at noon, the kitchen materials were also prepared, and the hot pot was also put on the shelf, but Scarlett and the others had not come back yet.

I haven't seen the daytime for so many years, and I haven't played in a spicy and lively place, so I'm afraid that I'm going crazy and won't come back, right?

Xu Qilin guessed like this, and it was quickly confirmed. Scarlett and a few nurses came back, and sure enough, Ah Ke didn't go around enough, and it was too troublesome to even come back for dinner, so she had already gone to the restaurant to eat and drink.

"Then, let's eat!" Xu Qilin waved his hand helplessly, fortunately, there is a sensible girl, and the feeling of eating alone by herself is really not good.

"Ke, she-" Scarlett shook her head helplessly, and she really had nothing to say about the changes in Ke.

Just when Xu Qilin and Scarlett were sitting and eating hot pot, in the restaurant in the business district outside the city, Fang Er, Adjani and Ake were eating hotly.

"I like it." Fang Er grinned widely, watching Ah Ke stuff meat into his mouth in a hurry, and he didn't slow down when he sucked straight into his mouth, and couldn't help but express his appreciation.

Adjani is already willing to bow down, looking at Ake from time to time, and then at Fang Er. Although there are differences between men and women, they are all eating and drinking moves.

Ah Ke finally took a breath, and muttered in his mouth, "It tastes so good, it shouldn't be worse than the one in the house, right?" ”

Adjani laughed twice and said, "This is a drunken restaurant, Ah Lang has shares, and the dishes are also taught by him, of course the taste is good!" ”

Oh, Ah Ke looked around, nodded and said, "If only there was such a restaurant, it would be enough to eat every day." ”

Fang Er said with a smile: "This is not easy, the cost is secondary, the key is that good cooks are hard to find." ”

"Why open a restaurant?" Adjani felt that this was a bit redundant, and said: "Whatever you want to eat in the house, let the cook make it, it's only better than here, not worse than here." ”

Ah Ke blinked his eyes and nodded: "That's right, you can eat it at the house, and it doesn't cost money." ”

As she spoke, she laughed and said, "I had so much fun today that I even felt troublesome going back to eat." Well, I'll eat it at the house tomorrow. Anyway, Ah Lang won't blame, right? ”

Adjani smiled and said, "Of course not. But how much can it cost to eat a meal out? Besides, the boss here won't take our money. ”

Ake nodded and said, "If I don't charge money, I want to drink wine!" ”

"Man, bring me wine." Fang Er immediately greeted loudly, and said to Ah Ke with a smile: "It's so boring to drink alone, just so you came to accompany me." ”

"You're a big wine bag." Ke stared at the dark eyes, and then she giggled.

"Nonsense." Fang Er didn't think about it, and argued: "That's called massive, and a thousand cups are not drunk." ”

Ah Ke stuck out his tongue, his habitual movements, he really couldn't change it.

………………

When it was time to have dinner, Ake and the others returned with a full load, not only to play, but also to go shopping and shopping.

When Xu Qilin saw Ah Ke like this, he couldn't help but think of the girls in later generations. This little night, I look at everything fresh, and I want to buy everything.

And Xiao Ye also copied the recipe of the restaurant, preparing to let the chef in the house cook for her to eat.

Xu Qilin called Xiao Ye into the house and had a conversation alone. is to tell her not to act too strange, and to slowly get closer to Ake's original image.

Xiao Ye didn't think so, the wine he drank at noon still had a faint flush on his face, and he said to Xu Qilin with a smile: "Actually, I thought about it, I don't need you to give money, my sister and I just go to dig the treasure by ourselves." ”

Xu Qilin shook his head and said, "That's even stranger." As for the money, you can withdraw it from the account office and spend it as you please. There must be treasures underground, you tell me, and the money you will give you when you dig it up and sell it. ”

Xiao Ye raised his face, looked at Xu Qilin, and said, "Didn't you say that my brain poisoning is not good, what does it matter if it is strange?" ”

Xu Qilin stared at Xiao Ye's eyes and found that there seemed to be the shadows of those two beads in her eyes. After thinking about it for a while, he had to say helplessly: "Strange is not good, it will make people suspicious, so as to alienate you." ”

Oh, Xiao Ye seemed to understand, and said, "Forget it, I like Scarlett and Adjani very much, and it won't be good if they ignore me." ”

Xu Qilin nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, you have to be good friends forever!" ”

The jade jue on Xiao Ye's chest moved, and Daya appeared, looking at her sister-in-law with a somewhat complicated expression.

Although Xiao Yu's eyes are no longer blind, she has lost the ability to see ghosts. But as long as Daya wants her to see herself, she will naturally not be invisible.

"Sister." Xiao Ye happily pounced and kept talking, "I played all day today, bought a lot of things, and ate delicious dishes in the restaurant." In the evening, let's have dinner together! ”

Daya touched the girl's head, looked at this slightly unfamiliar image, smiled bitterly, and said, "As long as you're happy." I won't accompany you when you eat, remember to take a pot of wine at night, and Sister will talk and chat with you. ”

"Okay!" Xiao Ye smiled: "I'll take the wine to drink with you, it's sweet Mimi, it's so funny to get dizzy after drinking!" ”

Xu Qilin shrugged his shoulders and said, "Originally, I wanted you to go out and do something, but since you sisters have something, forget it." ”

Daya turned her head and asked, "But inquire about that assassin?" ”

Xu Qilin nodded and said, "If you can't catch him, it's always a hidden danger." ”

Daya groaned for a moment and said, "When Xiaoye sleeps, I'll go out with you on the street." ”

"Then it's hard for you." Xu Qilin arched his hand and said, "I'll let people bring the food in, and you sisters can talk while eating!" ”

"Don't forget to make the two dishes I ordered." Xiao Ye hurriedly reminded.

Xu Qilin nodded with a smile, turned around and walked out of the house.

Through the inquiry of lonely souls and wild ghosts, or assuming that the assassin has been killed and can meet ghosts blindly, Xu Qilin also has the idea of giving it a try.

After dinner, Xu Qilin didn't wait for Daya, and took a few nurses out of the mansion. Moreover, instead of riding a horse, he sat in a car and walked around the city casually.

Yes, he can see ghosts, but he doesn't alarm them. It wasn't until midnight that Daya appeared in the car.

Facing Xu Qilin's inquiring gaze, Daya shook his head and said briefly: "I've asked some, but I haven't seen it." ”

Xu Qilin nodded, feeling that this was not expected. It was originally a pretentious search, how could it be found so smoothly and all at once?

"Take another turn and go home and sleep." Xu Qilin leaned back, looked at Daya, and asked teasingly: "Xiaoye had a lot of fun, what about you, what kind of body are you going to find?" ”

Daya pursed the corners of her mouth and said, "I've been waiting for so many years, I have to pick the best!" At least the kind that doesn't worry about eating and drinking, and is happy and happy. ”

Xu Qilin smiled and said, "Princess, county lord, or the daughter of a rich family." ”

"Are they happy?" Daya pursed her lips and said, "I don't think so, right?" ”

This is true, Xu Qilin knows that those noble girls also have troubles, and they may not be happy.

With a wry smile, Xu Qilin said: "The rich and the poor, each with their own troubles and unhappiness, how can there be people who are always happy!" ”

Daya was silent about this, and said quietly for a long time: "Xiaoye will live in your house for the time being!" Well, it's best to have a name. ”

"In what name?" Xu Qilin also felt reassuring, Xiaoye might not have thought of this, but she and Xu Qilin were not related, and they lived, ate and spent money, which was a bit unreasonable.

It's not that Xu Qilin is stingy, but he has to let outsiders not have doubts. For example, Scarlett and Adjani, although they are maids, they are at ease. Who let his own Ah Lang spoil him!

"You have two maids, so let Xiao Ye be your sister-in-law!" Daya smiled and said, "Ake is not as big as you, right?" ”

Xu Qilin didn't know very well, but said very confidently: "Of course it's not as big as me, it's good to be a sister honestly." ”

Saying that, Xu Qilin glanced at Daya and said jokingly: "When you possess your body, don't be a child, but call Xiaoye sister." ”

Daya raised her eyebrows, wanting to return the favor, but she also felt funny, and couldn't help but turn her head to look out of the car window, but a smile appeared on her face.

………………

didn't find any clues, although Xu Qilin was still a little worried, he had to put it down for the time being.

Since it is impossible to solve the problem from the outside, strengthening internal security has become the best option.

The job of recruiting the family Ding Nursing Home soon came to fruition, and Fang Er volunteered to check everyone's skills, and according to him, more than a dozen people barely passed.

As soon as the matter came to an end, Xu Qilin put his energy into his work.

This year, thanks to the smooth promotion of planting technology and more complete irrigation facilities, Ganzhou's grain output is three times that of last year, and cotton is five times that of last year.

Even so, there is still a lot of room for tapping Ganzhou's potential. As long as the population continues to grow, wasteland can be cultivated and the area under cultivation can be increased.

The imperial court is still supporting the construction and development of Ganzhou, but because Suzhou and Xizhou have also entered the fast lane of development, the demand for population is strong, which inevitably affects Ganzhou.

Even the condemned prisoners were sent to Xizhou to garrison the border, which shows that the population shortage in the Tang Dynasty at that time was huge and the labor force was in great demand.

As long as there is a sufficient population, economic development, military strength, territorial expansion, and so on are not a problem. However, this difficulty cannot be solved in a short period of time.

Unless—

Xu Qilin smiled bitterly and put down his pen, the criminal slave trade, I'm afraid it will start with his own report.

However, this also changed the number of levels of blood beheaded at that time as soon as there was a battle, right? When Xu Qilin walked out of the study, he still comforted himself like this.

Prisoners of war are people, they are people, no matter what identity they are given at the beginning, whether they are slaves or maids, at least their lives are saved.

Moreover, whether it can turn over in the future is still a chance and hopeful. As long as they do a good job and have a sense of belonging to Datang, it is feasible to give them the identity of a Datang citizen!

By granting Hu Ren the status of "city registration", Xu Qilin has opened a gap. Now, he's going to open a window, and later, a door.

When he walked outside the hall, Xu Qilin heard the familiar sound of rattling inside, mixed with the girl's laughter and Fang Er's loud voice.

Ah Ke has become a little night, playing with a blazing heart, and with Adjani, a ghostly spirit, it is immediately a situation where the three girls partner to set up room two.

Alas, the flowers sent by the Fang family to Fang Er are estimated to be all lost in a few days!

Xu Qilin shook his head, one is willing to fight, the other is willing to suffer, this room is two, it's really untidy.
