No matter how stupid Fang Er was, he could understand this expression, so he couldn't help but snort and said, "Listen, the way I want to do it is to ask Lu Yuxian to take a certain apprentice." It's really fake, and no one else knows about it anyway. With the name of the immortal chief, he is the father of the family, I'm afraid he won't stop it, right? ”

Damn, where can I find Lu Yu for you? Xu Qilin pouted and said: "But you have to learn something, it's still the same as before, others don't believe it, and you lose the face of the teacher." ”

Fang Er blinked his eyes, scratched his head and said, "Then you let Lu Yuxian teach me, chant poems and write articles, I can't learn something." Something else, there's always something I can learn, right? ”

Xu Qilin lowered his eyelids and thought: In addition to dancing guns and sticks to train muscles, you really can't learn.

Is this dancing gun and sticking with fists and kicks?! Xu Qilin looked up at Fang Er, and couldn't help touching his chin, as if it wasn't impossible!

Finally sent Fang Er away, out of sight and out of mind, Xu Qilin had to finish his official business first.

Although Wang Fangyi temporarily signed the assassination history, the imperial court has not yet officially issued an edict. Xu Qilin has an official rank, and some things are more justifiable.

Moreover, for the governance and operation of Gaochang, Wang Fangyi also had to ask Xu Qilin a lot of advice.

……………

The victory of the conquest of Gaochang did not set off much of a wave in Chang'an City.

Although there was a lot of after-dinner conversation, the restaurant was full, drinking and celebrating, and people marched on the streets, but there was no scene.

And the news can be widely disseminated, which is inseparable from the public opinion guidance of "Minsheng Daily". Otherwise, the common people really wouldn't know so quickly.

It's just that at that time, the people had not yet formed the habit of enthusiastic celebration, and happiness was joy, but the way of expression was very limited.

The court is naturally different, the ministers congratulate, the words are like a tide, the dragon face is happy, and the banquet is celebrated, these are of course indispensable programs.

What followed was the disposition of Gao Chang, and the differences among the courtiers were not obvious, mainly because they saw the thoughts of His Majesty Li Er.

Only Wei Da Troll, when His Majesty Li Er said that he wanted Gaochang as the state and county, admonished: "When Your Majesty first ascended the throne, Ju Wentai and his wife came to the court to congratulate, and in the future, they were arrogant and arrogant, and Your Majesty sent troops to fight. ”

"Now that Ju Wentai is dead, he should appease his people and save his society, then Weide will be famine, and all the people will be satisfied."

"If the land is considered to be a state and county, it is often necessary for more than 1,000 people to guard it, and it will change for a few years, and there will be three or four people who will come and go, provide clothing and money, and leave relatives in violation of it, and after ten years, Longyou will be wasted."

"With Gaochang as the state and county, it is not allowed to use Gaochang to support China, and the so-called scattered is useless. The minister did not see it. ”

I have to say that Wei Da Troll's thinking is a little pedantic, and his vision is not so long-term.

What is Weide being in the wilderness, and all the four are satisfied, it is completely the Confucian theory of using virtue to influence foreign countries, and it does not conform to the actual situation.

Moreover, Wei Trolls did not see the importance of occupying Gaochang for controlling the Western Regions and suppressing the Western Turks, but only saw the inconvenience of garrisoning thousands of miles away, as well as the consumption of materials, grain and grass.

His Majesty Li Er did not directly refute Wei Da Troll, but took out Xu Qilin and Wang Fangyi's recital, which contained detailed data and immediately made the ministers shut up.

In the early days of the garrison, it is certain that grain and grass supplies were supplied from Guanzhong or Hexi; But after a year, that number will be reduced by two-thirds; After two years, the garrison was self-sufficient.

In the impression of most ministers, Gaochang should be barren and could not carry too many people. But in Xu Qilin and Wang Fangyi's inspection report, Gaochang's arable land is enough to feed more than 100,000 people.

In other words, excluding the aborigines of Gaochang, the Tang army was still able to garrison 50,000 troops, which was already much more than the estimated number.

In addition to arable land, Gaochang's geographical advantages will also make it more valuable for management and governance. The Silk Road is an important route, and the merchants who come and go will promote the economic development of Gaochang.

Moreover, Xu Qilin also pointed out in the report that the Tang army's stationing in Gaochang will deter small countries in the Western Regions, form a protective effect on Silk Road trade, and promote the development of trade.

When the courtiers read aloud, "If the Anxi Protectorate, which has been interrupted for 400 years since the beginning of the Han Dynasty, can be described as a great cause of unprecedented glory...... His Majesty Li Er stroked his beard and showed a pleased smile.

See, Your Majesty has laughed, and there is no need to discuss the matter any more. With Xu Qilin's business skills, Gaochang may be the next Ganzhou.

Now it's just the restoration of the Anxi Protectorate, which can be regarded as the beginning, and then Your Majesty is afraid that the jurisdiction of the Han Dynasty in the Western Regions will be restored.

The ministers knew that His Majesty Li Er wanted to establish a meritorious cause that surpassed the Qin Emperor and Han Wu, and this Gaochang would set up a state county no matter what to do and become a bridgehead for the management of the Western Regions.

Seeing that the ministers no longer objected, His Majesty Li Er smiled and said: "Most of the people of Gaochang are Han Chinese, and they have admired me for a long time in the Tang Dynasty, and they all want to return, I can't let them down!" ”

It seems to be true, as if you have heard it from Gaochang people.

The ministers knew that His Majesty Li Er was a little floating, and he brushed gold on his face!

"Since most of them are Han Chinese, they should return to their homeland." Yu Wenshi stepped forward and bowed and said, "Your Majesty's love for the people can show the sun and the moon." ”

This sycophant is so explicit, I despise you!

But Yu Wenshi and this is not wrong, no one can find fault. Several ministers agreed, believing that it was natural to merge Gaochang into the Tang Dynasty.

"That's the case-" His Majesty Li Er raised his hand, waited for the silence below, and said loudly: "Decree, Gaochang will set up Xizhou, and Jiaohe City will set up Anxi Duhufu......"

After retreating from the dynasty and returning to the Qianqiu Palace, His Majesty Li Er was still excited. Xu Qilin contributed to the smooth resolution of the dispute.

If it weren't for seeing the development potential of the West State, disputes and quarrels were inevitable. Although His Majesty Li Er can be arbitrary, it is better to do so now.

As for the appointment of official positions, His Majesty Li Er gave Xu Qilin face, Xizhou Thorn Shi gave Wang Fangyi, and Anxi Duhu was Qiao Shiwang, the commander of the horses.

Not only did he give Xu Qilin face, but His Majesty Li Er also praised the theory of separation of military and political affairs mentioned in his previous recital.

This is indeed a good way to check and balance each other, and it also avoids the formation of separatist forces to the greatest extent.

It can be seen that Xu Qilin is indeed thinking about the continued stability and strength of Datang.

This is also in line with His Majesty Li Er's impression of Xu Qilin, although Lu Yu is helping behind the scenes, he is still young and thinks less, and maintains a sincere heart.

is not only towards Datang, but also towards ordinary people, but also Xu Qilin's mentality and actions. For example, jumping into the ice water to save a lowly palace maid is by no means the kind of gentleman who has a strong concept of respect and inferiority.

This is not surprising, Lu Yu is a monk, and his inheritance is compassion for the people and love others, and the princes and generals and the ordinary people are all equal beings in his eyes, and Xu Qilin naturally has such thoughts.

His Majesty Li Er can trust Xu Qilin and use it with confidence, in fact, he also appreciates his temperament. Although he was the emperor of a feudal dynasty, the concept of respect and inferiority was deeply rooted.

Moreover, Xu Qilin's concept of wealth also made His Majesty Li Er very appreciative.

Take it in the right way, be rich and content, and not be insatiable. There is nothing wrong with the pursuit of wealth in itself, who doesn't want to live well and have money to spend! But knowing moderation and letting go is an extremely rare quality.

Therefore, His Majesty Li Er allowed Xu Qilin to use tariffs and allowed Xu Qilin to use the funds of the Great Surplus Treasury.

Because he believes that Xu Qilin's spending, or investment and operation, will definitely have higher returns, and he is not worried about his personal enrichment.

Xu Qilin is very rich, but there are not many people with a long conscience like him.

His Majesty Li Er couldn't help but sigh with emotion, this year's major events continue to be resolved, it is really smooth!

The Guangzhou City Shipping Division was established, and the tariff revenue was gratifying. Feng Ang did not get in the way, and the income from cotton spinning also made him compensated for the long term.

Gaochang was captured, and the Tang army had a strong bridgehead in the Western Regions, which could more effectively suppress the Western Turks and control the Western Regions.

The development of Ganzhou has exceeded expectations, and Suzhou is also thriving, as a logistics base to support the garrison in the Western Regions, it will be able to take on heavy responsibilities after this autumn.

The planting of cotton with the Xu family and the Chen family as the experimental base has also been successful, proving that Guanzhong can also be gradually promoted.

According to Xu Qilin's report, there should be no problem in planting cotton in Hebei Province, just waiting for the report on the situation of the local experimental field this year.

Now, His Majesty Li Er believes that cotton is a good thing related to the national economy and people's livelihood.

It is simple and easy to operate than planting mulberry and raising silkworms, and the yield is also high, and the coarse cotton cloth feels better than linen, which is more suitable for the people to wear, and the cotton clothes and bedding can also keep out the cold.

Eat and dress warmly, the people can live such a life, why worry about the instability of the country, why worry about the Tang Dynasty can not last for a long time?

What's more, the promotion and planting of cotton is also related to the strategy of Liaodong, the restoration of the old land of the Han Dynasty, and the merits of surpassing the Qin Emperor and Han Wu!

His Majesty Li Er looked forward to it, and wrote a letter to Xu Qilin to reply to relevant questions.

Before the letter was finished, footsteps were heard, and the son walked in, laughing and running to his father.

His Majesty Li Er put down his pen, hugged his beloved daughter, and said with a smile: "My son has grown taller again, I am so happy, what good things to tell my father!" ”

The son deliberately straightened up again, and giggled: "Originally, it was a lot taller than Xiao Zhao, but now it is not obvious, and it is not fast!" ”

As she spoke, she took out several small cloth bags from her small satchel and opened them for her father to see, and they were all small stones of different colors.

"These are all picked up by my uncle from the Gobi Desert." The son introduced to his father: "This is golden silk jade, gem light, Gobi colored stone, mud stone, black jasper, Gobi jade ......."

His Majesty Li Er stretched out his hand to look at it, some were crystal clear, some were green, and some were brightly colored, which was really unbearable.

The son especially liked a colored stone, took it in his hand and looked left and right, and said: "Father, I wrote to my uncle, such a good thing, let him send more people to pick it up." ”

His Majesty Li Er smiled, knowing that this was a child's words, but he did not object, knowing that Xu Qilin had his own way.

"If you like this colored stone, let the craftsman make a hole and wear a rope to hang it on your waist." His Majesty Li Er diverted the topic and pointed to the colored stone in his son's hand and said.

The son thought for a while and said, "I still don't want it." I wanted to make a wooden frame and put all the stones on it, so that it would be easy to look at. ”

His Majesty Li Er nodded and said, "There are many treasure shelves, and the Xu family's shop is doing well." ”

The son said, "Then I'll just tell Xiao Zhao." Father, my brother-in-law said that Qianzhuang was very profitable, and suggested that I take Tang Mu as an investment and make money with money. ”

His Majesty Li Er rolled his eyes, thinking that how could the royal family be short of money, his daughter still needs to invest, and there is money to make money?

The son glanced at his father, shook his arm and said, "I think it's good!" If I can make money, wouldn't it be great for me to do charity, care for the poor and orphans, and bring blessings to myself? ”

His Majesty Li Er smiled and said, "That's fine." There are also many welfare institutions in Chang'an City, and the sons will be blessed if they do good deeds and accumulate virtues. ”

Seeing that his father agreed, the son smiled happily, packed the cloth bag, put it in the satchel, and said, "Father, then I will go to Xu Chongrong." Xiao Zhao said that today he was going to send preserved figs, very delicious kiwifruit. ”

His Majesty Li Er nodded with a smile, and also advised: "Don't run fast, walk carefully." ”

The son said yes crisply, and walked out of the temple with brisk steps.

In another half a month, it will be moved into Daming Palace. His Majesty Li Er retracted his gaze and couldn't help but look at this palace where he had lived for a long time.

……………..

Having just transferred out of the business zone in Ganzhou, Du Zhenglun has not yet reacted from the shock.

Is this the deserted Northwest? This bazaar, this flow of people, is not much worse than the east and west markets of Chang'an!

Although Xu Qilin had not yet returned, he sent a letter to the officials who stayed in Ganzhou, asking them to entertain Du Zhenglun and send someone to take Du Zhenglun around to familiarize himself with the various situations in Xia Gan and Su Prefecture.

In Xu Qilin's view, the management and governance of Gansu and Su are not quite the same as those in the mainland. If Du Zhenglun can't understand it well, he is a guy who can't eat the ancients, and he doesn't worry about keeping him in office!

The so-called food of the old is the old way of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business. There is a big difference with Xu Qilin's implementation of the comprehensive development of agriculture and industry and commerce, and the way of subsidizing agriculture with business.

Although Du Zhenglun had heard about it, after actually witnessing it, he knew that Ganzhou's rapid development was true.

But he was still a little puzzled, so he asked the accompanying officials: "Is this trade so prosperous?" ”

The official arched his hand and said: "Since the news of Gaochang's destruction came, there have been a lot more businessmen. Coupled with the establishment of the beacon post on the 'Great Sea Road' and the repair of the road, more people want to re-take this road for trade. ”

Du Zhenglun nodded and said, "It seems that Gaochang's closure of the road seems to have affected many businessmen. ”

The official replied, "Exactly." This 'Great Sea Road' was originally the fastest way to enter the Western Regions, but after it was closed, it could only take the more difficult and dangerous road. ”

Du Zhenglun smiled and said, "Please lead someone to the village and town to have a look, is it convenient?" ”

"Mr. Du is polite, the lower official is the guide, you can tell me where you want to go." The official bowed his hand respectfully and said, "When the lower official was in Chang'an, he had heard of Mr. Du's name for a long time, and he didn't want to be able to serve Mr. here. ”

Du Zhenglun smiled bitterly, he was demoted by Jingshi, it is really a change in life, and the blessings and misfortunes are unpredictable!
