In order to win the trust of others, strength and background are very important. For this reason, Xu Qilin took out the signboard of Da Yingku, with a royal background, will there be any credit?

Of course, this is not a sole proprietorship of Dayingku, but it is the largest shareholder. And among the funds of Qian Zhuang, there are also the Xu family, as well as those Jingshi magnates.

For example, when he went to work, in the name of help, he gave him money from the Wei Chi family, the Cheng family, the eldest grandson family, and so on.

Xu Qilin fulfilled his promise and did not take other people's money for nothing, but tied the interests of those people to himself.

As for the operation of the big surplus library, His Majesty Li Er basically left it alone. For Qianzhuang, he only regarded it as Xu Qilin's means to make money, and he didn't expect that there would be such far-reaching calculations.

Therefore, no one, including His Majesty Li Er, would know how powerful Qianzhuang, which now only has business offices in Chang'an and Ganzhou, will become in the future.

……………

The warmth of summer has been felt, and in the Horse Mansion, Princess Li Lizhi of Changle walked twice in the garden as planned before returning to the hall to rest.

Health tea has become accustomed to drinking, and it is also quite beneficial to her qi disease, and it is indispensable every day.

Just when Li Lizhi was calmly drinking tea and admiring the strange stones of Ganzhou on the mahogany shelf, footsteps sounded, and the eldest grandson Chong finished his business and returned to the mansion.

"Husband came back early today." Li Lizhi said with a smile: "Didn't you say that you want to go to Xu's shop to see the newly arrived strange stones?" ”

The eldest grandson Chong sat down and said with a smile: "The lady also likes the strange stone, and I want to go with the lady as a husband." ”

After a pause, he took out a letter and said, "Qi Lin's letter said some things about Qianzhuang, I think it's good, and I ask the lady to refer to it." ”

"Money Bank?!" Li Lizhi stretched out her hand to take the letter, and said indifferently: "It's the shop that keeps the money for the merchants, and the concubine has heard a little about it." ”

When she opened the letter, Li Lizhi read it at a glance, frowned slightly, and looked at it from the beginning, but the speed was much slower.

The eldest grandson Chong was not in a hurry, took the tea served by the maid, and drank it slowly.

After a while, Li Lizhi put down the letter, thought about it, and said: "When Qi Lin went to office, he said that he was pulling investment, and our family also paid for it. At that time, it was just a favor, but I didn't expect him to take it seriously. ”

The eldest grandson nodded his head and said, "I didn't expect it." However, looking at the business strategy of this money bank, it is very promising. ”

Li Lizhi said: "Qi Lin's business methods have always been admirable. The concubine also felt that the profit was not small, and only the cost of remote access was earning. ”

The eldest grandson blinked his eyes and said suspiciously: "What are you earning, I didn't expect it." ”

Li Lizhi rolled her eyes and said, "Husband didn't think about it carefully. You think, save here, take there; Save it over there, take it here. As long as the income on both sides is about the same, the money doesn't have to be transported around at all......"

"That's right!" The eldest grandson slapped his thigh and said, "It's just a matter of going through the motions on both sides, changing the left pocket for the right pocket!" ”

Li Lizhi glanced at her husband with disgust, what kind of vernacular is this, I must have learned it when I watched the play.

The eldest grandson Chong touched his chin and pondered for a while, and said: "Qi Lin's trick is really high, not only to make money, but also to make those businessmen feel convenient. This business is a lot, and it makes a lot of money. ”

Li Lizhen agreed with this and said: "Didn't Qi Lin say that Qianzhuang will reach 500,000 yuan by the end of the year, and it will open branches in Luoyang and Yangzhou. Merchants who come and go from the south to the north, can there be less business? ”

The eldest grandson nodded again and again, and said tentatively: "Then let's invest some more money in it?" ”

"Vote, why not." Li Lizhi smiled, took a sip of the teacup, and said: "Qi Lin is trying to pull everyone to make a fortune, whether it is from favors or making money, we have no reason not to invest." ”

Putting down the teacup, Li Lizhi continued: "Moreover, the concubine feels that this money village should have other ways to make money, but the time is not yet ripe, and Qi Lin didn't say it all." ”

The eldest grandson Chong said "um" and said, "Qi Lin thinks long-term, and he can't do it yet. The lady is smart, so she can see the trick. ”

Li Lizhi pursed the corners of her mouth, a little smug, but then she retreated and said, "Don't you want to see the strange stone, let's go now, I won't have to be bought, and I won't even have a chance to take a look." ”

The eldest grandson hurriedly got up, ordered someone to prepare the car, and said with some complaints: "Others still weigh the price, but the Duke of Eguo buys it if he is optimistic." Last time, the natural strange stone, there was a galloping horse, and a certain was optimistic, but he was taken away at a fixed price. ”

While dressing under the service of the maid, Li Lizhi said helplessly: "The Duke of Eguo is rich, and he lives in the house, so he has nothing to do with it." ”

With a wry smile, Li Lizhi continued: "The colorful landscape and stone that the concubine is optimistic about will not be bought first. Even the name of the buyer is unknown. ”

"This-" The eldest grandson scratched his head and said, "A certain has sent a letter to Qi Lin, and if there is a colorful stone, it will be sent directly to the mansion, and the price will be set by him." ”

Li Li smiled sweetly, knowing that it was her husband's love, but she accepted it calmly.

And in the Xu family's house, a certain little girl was resting today, just rubbing and admiring a piece of colorful landscape stone as usual.

"Stupid brother, such a good baby is not sent home, but still sold." Every time Xiao Zhao thought of this, he couldn't help but complain, "I have to spend so much money to buy it." ”

If Xu Qilin knew about this, he would definitely be so angry that smoke was coming out of his head. What kind of strange stones, it's good to make those big heads, you little girl, your head is big, and your hard-earned money is so bad?

………………

Jiuquan Qigu fever has just emerged in Chang'an, and it is a vassal and elegant hobby for those rich and idle magnates.

But with the arrival of the army in Gansu and Suzhou, Xu Qilin's other business plan set off a climax of purchase in Chang'an.

First of all, Xu Qilin's Liangzhou lyrics were published in the "Minsheng Daily": Grape wine luminous cup, if you want to drink pipa, urge immediately. Drunk and lying on the battlefield, how many people came back to fight in ancient times?

There is also a short comment from the editor at the end of the poem: before the expedition, the soldiers drank happily, the kabuki played the cheerful pipa to cheer up, the soldiers were full of pride, vowing to serve the country, and the horse leather shrouds and the bones of the green mountains were not afraid.

Very good, the poem is very good, full of heroic and expansive military spirit, in line with the current main theme, and inspires the fighting spirit of the people of Datang.

However, that's not the point. When the Liangzhou words were sung everywhere in the Qinglou Restaurant, the protagonist - Jiuquan Luminous Cup made a gorgeous appearance.

As early as the time of King Mu of Zhou, the Western Regions once presented "a cup of luminous light" to the Central Plains court. The so-called "cup is the essence of white jade, bright and night".

It's just that at that time, it was made of Hetian jade and shipped to Chang'an, Luoyang and other places. Later, because the jade cup was vulnerable during transportation, it was changed to transport Hetian jade to Jiuquan, where it was processed into a luminous cup and then transported.

The quantity of Hetian jade is small and the price is high, Xu Qilin adapted measures to local conditions, switched to Jiuquan jade to make luminous cups, and carefully planned and launched in a timely manner.

His Majesty Li Er is holding a luminous cup in his hand at this time, the cup is green, verdant, crystal clear, even in summer, it makes people feel cold.

The shape of the wine glass is high, the height, thickness, and thickness are quite delicate, and the surface is smooth and delicate.

"Qi Lin's poem is very well done, and it is shallow to read as a sad language, and you can't have this feeling unless you have great understanding." Xu Hui was full of praise for his younger brother, "Your Majesty has always said that he is holding poetry, but this time it is not. ”

His Majesty Li Er blinked his eyes, put down his wine glass, shook his head with a wry smile a little helplessly, and said: "The poem is excellent, the artistic conception is far-reaching, showing the heroism and courage of my Tang Dynasty soldiers." But, but this poem is just to sell luminous cups, and it's really a little, a little ......."

His hand scribbled twice in the air, and His Majesty Li Er really didn't have the right words to explain this matter clearly.

Xu Hui frowned and pursed his lips, and he was really a little speechless to his little brother. You say you can't separate this famous thing unless you connect it with the sale?

"This-" Xu Hui said with some strong words: "Making poetry is making poetry, and selling a cup is selling a cup, it's not easy to mix it up, right?" ”

His Majesty Li Er rolled his eyes, and had no choice but to nod helplessly, and said: "This poem is excellent, and the luminous cup is also for better management of Suzhou." Well, complement each other, complement each other! ”

Xu Hui smiled, reached out to take the luminous cup, and deliberately pretended to be curious and asked, "Since it is called luminous, can it really shine at night?" ”

His Majesty Li Er shook his head and explained: "The wine must be placed in a cup, and if it is placed in the moonlight, the cup will shine, hence the name." ”

After a pause, he said with a smile: "If you put wine in the middle of the glass, it will become delicate and red in the moonlight, which is particularly attractive, and serving wine in jade can also increase the mellowness of the wine." ”

"There should be a moon tonight." Xu Hui looked out the window, the sky was still clear, and said quietly: "The concubine also wants to see the delicate and mellow fragrance of the glow-in-the-dark glass of grape wine." ”

His Majesty Li Er nodded with a smile, stroked the jade hand of the concubine, and said, "Tonight, I and the concubine drink freely to the moon, and I wish me a victory in the Tang Dynasty." ”

………………

Thousands of miles away, the moonlight like water is quietly sprinkled in Ganzhou City.

Hou Junji, the chief general of the expedition to Gaochang and the general manager of the Jiaohe River March, was not sleeping in the house where he was staying at this time, facing a huge sand table, and several major generals were discussing in the army.

The sand table is dedicated by Xu Qilin, which clearly and intuitively shows the geography of mountains and rivers, roads and cities in the northwest in front of everyone.

After reading the data prepared in advance, not only Hou Junji, but even the generals thought that the difficulty had been greatly reduced, and there was no big problem in arriving in Gaochang.

Hou Junji had come to the northwest when he was conquering Guhun, but what he saw and heard after arriving in Ganzhou still made him unbelievable.

It's only been a few years, and Xu Qilin's business has been less than two years, and Ganzhou has undergone earth-shaking changes, and it is not as prosperous as Guanzhong Prefecture.

Moreover, the preparations for the expedition of the army to Gaochang were so adequate. The grain and grass materials, the road inspection, and even the sand table used in the war are really amazing.

"I think I'm familiar with the geographical situation on this side, but compared with this sand table, I'm ashamed." The rough voice of He Li, the first deputy chief manager of Green Mountain, sounded, interrupting Hou Junji's thoughts.

Ashina Sheer, the head of the Jiaohe Road March, also nodded in agreement, they still know more about the geography of the mountains and rivers in the northwest, and this expedition will also be a pioneer.

"The last general has walked through the Gobi Desert, and the ten beacons and ten posts are intertwined, which can be a place to rest and camp." Niu Jinda opened his mouth and said: "If there is no accident, it will take as much as twenty days or as little as half a month to reach Yizhou." ”

Hou Junji nodded and said, "Twenty days has exceeded Ben Shuai's expectations, and the grain and grass materials are also sufficient. Very good, very good. ”

He glanced at the crowd and said in a deep voice: "General Ashina, General Qibi, rest tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, he will lead the front army and march to Suzhou." ”

"Obey!" The two generals bowed down and took the order to retreat.

After a deep sigh, Hou Junji told Ashina Sheer and Qibi He Li again: "General Xu Cheng will follow the front army, and the two generals should be more protected." ”

"The manager can rest assured, his subordinates will ensure that Xu Cheng and others are safe." The two hurriedly bowed down again.

Hou Junji turned to Niu Jinda again and asked, "Now that the armies have been assembled, the army will be drawn the day after tomorrow." ”

Calculating the time of the arrival of the army, Xu Qilin had already sent someone to inform Niu Jinda and gathered the government soldiers who were building Gansu and Su Prefectures to assemble and rest.

"Obey." Niu Jinda also bowed down to receive orders.

Hou Junji smiled and said to the generals: "The Gobi Desert is not to be feared, and our army's victory can be expected. Even the Western Turks came to the rescue, and it was difficult to stop the attack of our army. In this way, you can drink and have fun tonight, and get drunk before resting. ”

The atmosphere immediately became cheerful, and the generals began to laugh.

Hou Jun gathered in front and led the generals out of the house. The courtyard has been set up with wine and food, and the roast lamb is already golden and exudes a mouth-watering fragrance.

"Xu Cheng is so gracious, let's drink happily and live up to his good intentions." Hou Junji picked up the wine glass, signaled to everyone, and said loudly: "Drink to win!" ”

"Drink to win!" Everyone raised their glasses and drank in unison.

……………

Thorn Shifu, under the same moonlight, but there is reluctance to part.

"Don't bring this." Xu Qilin said helplessly: "It's not moving, how can you sort out so many things." ”

Scarlett didn't care, she still wrapped the pillow and prepared for Aaron to bring it tomorrow.

"It's all habitual things, if you don't bring them, Jiali is afraid that Ah Lang won't sleep well!" Adjani also learned to speak, sorting out Xu Qilin's clothes, "In the Gobi Desert, it's hot during the day and cold at night, so you have to bring a single and thick coat." ”

Xu Qilin shrugged his shoulders and said, "Isn't there a blanket quilt, just wrap it up when it's cold." Isn't it a joke to be squeamish with all these things? ”

"Squeamish is squeamish, Ah Lang is still young!" Scarlett said: "Like those soldiers, they are all strong men, with rough skin and thick flesh that resist tossing. ”

"We won't leave until the day after tomorrow, so don't be in such a hurry!" Xu Qilin said a word, and seeing that the two girls were still busy, he couldn't help but caress his forehead, so he simply left it alone and went to clean up the paper, ink, paper, inkstone and documents.

Marching and fighting, although Xu Qilin is not needed to rush into battle, it is not good to take the maid. The two girls fought to no avail, so they had to strive to be thoughtful, so that Ah Lang would suffer less on the road.

In this regard, Xu Qilin also knew their hard work and love, so he followed their wishes.
