Recently, I've been busy, so I'll keep one shift for the time being, and I'm sorry, I'll resume two shifts soon, thank you for your continued support.

Xu Qilin had a rough idea in his heart, and when he heard the intention of the expedition to Gaochang, he also fully understood the whole intention of His Majesty Li Er to give "Guanzi".

Among them, although there is a sense of appreciation for the development of the real estate, there are still some expectations behind it. But is there really a way to solve or alleviate the huge pressure of money, food and materials?

And Xu Qilin also understands the mood of His Majesty Li Er, it is really a bit frequent and the burden on the people is very great.

You must know that during the Wude period, there were constant wars, mainly to flatten and divide the country internally and unify the country.

Since the first year of Zhenguan, the Tang Dynasty has not stopped, turning to foreign wars, fighting with the Eastern and Western Turks, attacking the Dangxiang Qiang, fighting Tuguhun, Pingfang rebellion, and the battle of Songzhou in Tubo.

And in the agrarian era, the attrition of war was staggering. For example, when Han Wu attacked the Xiongnu in the north, he not only spent all the money and food accumulated by his grandfather and father, but also "wasted at home and halved his household registration".

Taking grain and grass as an example, when tens of thousands of troops are dispatched, there must be an equal or even several times the number of people behind them; For a distance of thousands of miles, water and land transfer is almost half of the consumption, land transfer is 37 or 28 consumption, and mountain transfer is more consumed, even up to 90%.

Of course, there are also captures in the war, but they can't make ends meet, and they can't withstand the consumption.

Therefore, during the Zhenguan period, the population did not increase significantly. The people's lives are stable, but the burden is still very heavy, and they are still far from living a good life.

Despite this, from Xu Qilin's point of view, this war still has to be fought. If you don't let go of your blood, how can you achieve peace and stability? If you don't accept it, you will be beaten, and you will be beaten until you are satisfied, how exciting is it?

As for the people's livelihood in the Yonghui period that is said in the history books to be better than that of Zhenguan, is it not the credit of Li Zhi's father?

The Eastern Turks were destroyed, Xue Yantuo was finished, the Western Turks and Goguryeo were destroyed, and most of the surrounding small countries were subjugated. The people's livelihood is good, can you leave such a big environment?

All in all, in short, the current Tang Dynasty, the current His Majesty Li Er is very short of money. Not to mention anything else, Daming Palace is still unfinished on the Dragon Head Plain!

"Looking at the court, who can not only consult political affairs, but also be good at business and profit, except for Qi Lin, who is there?" Secretary Ma looked at Xu Qilin with anticipation, "If you can not only go on an expedition to Gaochang, but also show Your Majesty's benevolence and virtue, and do not pay taxes to the people, Qi Lin will make a great contribution, and it will not be a problem to grant the seal." Or you can also add an official to the knighthood and get a reward again. ”

Xu Qilin smiled and completely understood.

Why is he unique, he is the most profitable among officials, and he has the highest rank among the businessmen who operate. It's awesome, crossover superstar!

Moreover, even if he can't think of a way, an expedition to Gaochang is imperative. It's a big deal to repeat the original history, and the burden on the common people is heavier, and the economy of several counties cannot recover for a few years, which is not an earth-shattering thing.

His Majesty Li Er also has such an idea, although he has expectations, but he does not rely on it.

Well, don't behave at this time, when will you behave at that time?

What's more, he already has a back. Now, there is no need for all the projects in the east and west of the city to be completed, as long as the pre-sale achieves the goal, and the funds for the projects on both sides are raised, you can make suggestions!

"According to Brother Ma's judgment, when is the time of this expedition to Gaochang?" Xu Qilin did not immediately give Ma Daji an accurate answer, but asked cautiously.

Ma Zhou pondered for a moment and said, "At least in a year!" ”

Xu Qilin nodded and said, "Brother Ma's good words, I have written them all." If there is a way, we have to think about it. ”

There must be a way, but it has to be sprung out one by one. Whoa, the entire waterfall, don't drown Li Erjunchen.

Besides, if something goes wrong, there must be a demon, and if a person is abnormal, there must be a sword. If you come up with a bunch of solutions, how can you explain it?

Oh, and the cow breaks don't explain. If you say so, it's no wonder that His Majesty Li Er doesn't cut you.

So, you have to try to be as natural as possible. I often mention that the master who is empty all of a sudden, but also a preventive shot in advance, there is a reason for explanation, you don't believe it, that's your problem!

In addition, Xu Qilin often borrowed a few books from the palace through Xiao Zhao, but in fact, he didn't read them, he just wanted to pave the way more naturally and reasonably.

Ma Zhou saw that Xu Qilin did not show embarrassment, and knew that this kid was just like what His Majesty Li Er said.

In this regard, he no longer urged, and expressed his satisfaction and appreciation for Xu Qilin to build a library when he built a house, and said with emotion: "If it weren't for the financial constraints, the money from the sale of the house would be to build a larger library in the city, so there must be no problem, right?" ”

Ma Dami's heart is thinking about the welfare of poor students, which makes Xu Qilin very admired.

He smiled and poured tea for Ma Da Secret, and said: "Brother Ma doesn't have to worry, he already has a preliminary business plan, as long as His Majesty allows it, not to mention Chang'an City, even in this whole world, there will be more than 1,000 libraries at once." ”

"How much does that cost?" Ma Zhou was taken aback and looked at Xu Qilin in disbelief.

Xu Qilin shook his head and said, "You don't have to spend money, you may still make money!" Well, and wait for a certain family to write the charter, and after the pre-sale of the house is successful, it will be reported to His Majesty. ”

Ma Zhou blinked, reached out and patted Xu Qilin's shoulder, and said with a smile: "It's okay to call a certain word, so it looks close." Let's reveal one or two, it's good to say in front of Your Majesty, and it will be done as soon as possible! ”

Xu Qilin scratched his head, approached Ma Dami, and whispered: "The idea is not mature, but it should be feasible. The specific charter goes like this......."

Ma Wei listened to the slight chin of the head, the smile on his face became more and more cheerful, after listening to Xu Qilin's speech, he couldn't help laughing, and praised again and again: "Drawing inferences, Qi Lin is really smart." Well, this recital is submitted, and we must make every effort to promote it and implement it as soon as possible. ”

Xu Qilin also felt that he had done a great thing, and said with a smile: "After writing the charter, I am afraid that there will be omissions, and I have to discuss carefully with Brother Bin Wang first, and only after revising it will be appropriate." ”

"It's a blessing." Ma Dami picked up the tea bowl and gestured, as if to express his gratitude, and then he just tasted tea and gossiped very comfortably.

……………

It was night, there was no wind, but it was cool and pleasant inside. Outside, there was the sound of insects, and occasionally unknown birds chirped.

Under the lamp and candle, Xu Qilin worked hard to write, thinking like a spring, not seeking literary brilliance, as long as he wrote in detail and clearly.

It has a variety of properties such as warehouses, hostels, and shops, and is bound to develop further as the business prospers.
