Chapter 97: Goodbye Li Sipang (Ask for Collection, Ask for Recommendation)
"Xiao Lang is painting again!" Scarlett brought a plate of washed bayberry, sat down next to Xu Qilin, picked up one and sent it to Xu Qilin's mouth.
Xu Qilin tilted his head and ate it in his mouth, and while continuing to draw drawings, he said slightly vaguely: "You eat too." ”
Well, Scarlett answered, obediently picked up the fan, and gently gave Xu Qilin the wind.
Xu Qilin took a long time to finish the general painting, threw down the charcoal, carefully looked at his design, and asked with a smile: "If you want to build a commercial district outside the city, you can always get a dozen shops, and just collecting rent is crooked!" ”
Scarlett also looked at the drawings and asked, "There are East and West markets in the city, and there are merchants who are willing to do business outside the city?" ”
"Of course!" Xu Qilin said confidently: "There is no room for development in the east and west markets, and they are also subject to business hours and curfews. Distant merchants and bulk commodity trading need a store, which is very profitable! ”
Scarlett didn't understand it very well, but when Xu Qilin said this, she still nodded her little head and said: "Xiaolang is extremely smart, what he does, he will definitely make a lot of money." ”
Xu Qilin smiled, reached out and touched Scarlett's face, and said, "Learn arithmetic well, help me collect rent and manage it when the time comes, and a little rich woman didn't run away." ”
Scarlett took out a cloth towel, wiped the sweat beads on Xu Qilin's forehead with a smile, and said crisply: "What a little rich woman, the slave family is Xiaolang's maid ring, the wind is blowing in summer, and the bed is warmed in winter, if you can wait for Ah Lang properly and comfortably, the slave family will be satisfied, what's the use of asking for money?" ”
Xu Qilin listened comfortably, and the little girl who exchanged the plagiarized poems was really not a loss, she was really caring and attentive.
"If you have this heart, you will be happy to like it." Xu Qilin gently stroked Scarlett's hair and said, "Since I brought you here, I have served you with all my heart. But can you still be a girl for the rest of your life? So, I will slowly arrange your future life for you. ”
"Ah Lang is kind, and the slave family knows it." Scarlett looked at Xu Qilin gratefully with a pair of blue eyes, and said, "But the slave family is still young, and it is also a maid to be by Ah Lang's side for more than ten years." When the slave family grows up, if Ah Lang doesn't like it anymore, it's not too late to send the slave family. ”
"Beautiful, clever and cute, how can you not like it!" Xu Qilin cupped Scarlett's face with both hands and said with a smile: "Don't think nonsense, go and call Carpenter Sun and his wife, and someone will hand him over to do it." ”
Scarlett was overjoyed when she heard the praise, hugged Xu Qilin, and put her face on Xu Qilin's body before turning around and going out.
………………
Early in the morning, Xu Qilin took Wu Xiang and other subordinates out of the city and rushed to the paper workshop.
In the workshop, Zhang Cheng and the craftsmen were called, the application utensils were loaded into the car, and the city went to the palace.
"Brother Zhang doesn't have to be nervous, just do it according to the usual operation." Xu Qilin found that Zhang Cheng's expression was not quite right, so he comforted and said: "Your Majesty is generous, even if there are some small mistakes, just a demonstration, it will not be guilty." ”
"Yes, yes, the lower officials are not nervous, not nervous. That, Your Majesty is naturally generous, generous. Zhang Cheng nodded repeatedly, but the tension did not seem to abate.
A word or two of relief can make people feel nervous, and Xu Qilin also knows that it is not so simple. Who can compare to him, he has a good sister to cover, he can rely on his young age, and the most important thing is that he lacks reverence for imperial power in his heart.
Looking at those printing craftsmen, even Zhang Cheng is not as good.
Xu Qilin simply didn't say anything, and relaxed his demeanor, hoping to affect them.
When I arrived at the palace gate, the little yellow gate that had been instructed was already waiting here. After a few guards searched, they were allowed to enter the palace and follow them to the side in case of accidents.
The early dynasty had not yet dispersed, and Xu Qilin and others were led to wait outside the Qianqiu Palace. Xu Qilin asked the craftsmen to unload all the utensils, put them in the shade of the tree in front of the hall, and after finishing and preparing, let them rest in the shade first.
Zhang Cheng and the craftsmen sat on the ground, looking honest, but their eyes looked around, with a fresh and awe-inspiring face.
The palace people of the Qianqiu Hall have already known this young man in green clothes, even if they don't know Xu Qilin's identity, but seeing that his official rank is not high, he can often see the driving saint, it must be either rich or expensive. There was the one who was attentive, brought a stool to Xu Qilin, and served a drink.
After Xu Qilin thanked him, he sat in the shade, leaned against a big tree, and closed his eyes to recuperate.
After drawing the drawings last night, I wrote down the specific business strategies and methods, and I didn't rest until late at night, and I got up in the morning to practice in the morning, and I was really sleepy.
In a daze, Xu Qilin heard the sound of human voices, hurriedly opened his eyes, and saw a small sedan chair from far and near, but it was Li Tai, the king of Wei, who came.
Dead fat people are not good at raising fat at home, why are they here?
Xu Qilin sneered, but he had to get up, rub his eyes and come forward to salute.
"Excuse me, excuse me." Li Tai got out of the sedan chair, his fat face was full of kind and friendly smiles, and he stretched out his hand to help, "It's not too late for this king to come, and I can see Qi Lin's earth-shattering and weeping ghosts and gods in a while." ”
Xu Qilin laughed twice and said, "Your Highness made fun of it, don't take the boasting of the lower officials seriously." ”
Li Tai smiled and looked around, seeing that the utensils had been placed and covered with sackcloth, and it was not annoying to be the first to watch, which made Xu Qilin more satisfied.
"It's very hot, Qi Lin will go into the hall with Gu to rest for a while!" Li Tai wiped the sweat from his face with a silk handkerchief and sent out an invitation.
Xu Qilin wanted to go in and have a good time, but he really didn't want to be alone with Li Tai, so he politely declined: "The lower officials don't dare to be rude, so they will wait for Your Majesty outside." His Royal Highness does not care about the lower officials, and goes to the palace to rest. ”
Li Tai hesitated, called the palace people, went to get the stool, and also sat down in the shade of the tree, and beckoned Xu Qilin, "Qi Lin, sit down!" In my father's place, I have never seen you so polite and frightened. ”
Xu Qilin smiled and sat down unceremoniously.
"Qi Lin is twelve years old this year, but he has already obtained the seventh-rank official rank by virtue of his merits, which can be called a real talent." Li Tai said with a smile: "I don't know how much stronger than the people of Enyin and Menyin?" ”
"Your Highness has praised it." Xu Qilin said modestly: "Those who win the official position in the favor may not be talentless, what is the talent of the lower official, that is, a little clever." ”
"Oh?" Li Tai pretended to be surprised and said, "This little wisdom can be promoted to the seventh grade, what about the great wisdom?" Qi Lin, can you explain to this king? ”
I'm your uncle, I'm your uncle, teach you to be a man, so it's not right?
Xu Qilin pondered for a while and said: "Weichen thinks that great wisdom may be divided into two kinds, one is the ministers of the pillars such as Xiangfang Xianggong, Ma Sheren, Cen Zhongshu Shilang, etc., who have the great wisdom of governing the country and handling government affairs; The other is to behave in the world, like the sister Xu Chongrong, the talent is crowned in the harem, but it is indifferent, and the reputation and favor that should be have are not the same? ”
