Xu Qilin fiddled with Ruyi a few times, put it in his pocket casually, turned his head to Xiao Ye, who was so frightened that his feet were weak, and said, "You are obedient and obedient, do what we say, I won't hurt you, and I won't hurt your sister." ”

Xiao Yaci's eyes were stunned, as if she was scared silly. When Xu Qilin repeated it again, she had a round of eyes and regained some senses.

"You, your words count." Xiao Ye looked at Xu Qilin and said in a trembling voice: "As long as I follow you honestly, can I see my sister?" ”

Xu Qilin nodded and said, "I can catch you like my sister, but I didn't do that." So, you still don't believe me? ”

Xiao Ye lowered her head and thought for a while before she spoke: "Okay, I'll be obedient and follow you." When you get to Chang'an, you let my sister go. ”

"No problem." Xu Qilin paused and asked, "Say, tomorrow during the day, why do you follow me?" ”

Xiao Ye sighed, put the clay doll that she had been holding on to the ground, and said, "I'll just hide here, and I'm not afraid of the sun, just bring it." As he spoke, the little ghost's head turned into a wisp of mist and burrowed into the mud doll.

Xu Qilin reached out and picked up the clay doll, looked at it a few times, and touched the Ruyi in his pocket, as if he had guessed the use of these two things.

Can a man become a ghost, and can a ghost become a man?

Xu Qilin has his own ideas, but he doesn't just want the ghost to not hurt his relatives and friends, or to see the female ghost look cute and good-looking.

If we explore the mysteries, will we be able to resurrect the dead, or will we be able to live forever? Xu Qilin still doesn't know, but it can't stop his curiosity to study deeply.

If you want to say that people are afraid of ghosts, they have done something wrong, lack of courage, and lack of yang energy.

Xu Qilin felt that since ancient times, if people harm people, they are ten million times better than ghosts, and they are even more terrifying!

………………

Workshop outside Chang'an City.

The little doll giggled, stretching out her little hand in Zhou Qi's arms and scratching it around, until Zhou Qi stuffed his fingers into his hand, and the little guy quieted down.

With a satisfied and relieved smile on his face, it is always a happy thing for the family to be reunited, no matter what the conditions are here.

It's just that He is still a little apprehensive. Looking at the daughter who was teasing the little doll, he said sneeringly: "Qi'er, if Xu Cheng knew that you lied to him, would you-"

Zhou Qi frowned, she didn't have such worries and concerns. But the matter has come to this point, and I can only go on with my head and live one day at a time.

With a tone of uncertainty and some luck, Zhou Qi pretended to be relaxed and said, "Mother, don't worry and be afraid." Xu Cheng is young and soft-hearted, and his daughter works hard, even if the secret is exposed, he won't care too much. ”

He smiled bitterly and nodded, not wanting to mention this matter again to make both mother and daughter feel uncomfortable.

Zhou Qi was silent for a while, and said slowly: "Mother, I heard that the child has done a good job in the workshop, and he may re-naturalize and become a good citizen in the future!" ”

He raised his eyebrows and said, "Didn't you listen to the errand, it is an ordinary palace maid who can be released and naturalized, not a criminal who has no nationality, right?" ”

Zhou Qi shook his head and said, "It doesn't seem to be." But this matter is not certain, but there are some rumors, and I still heard it from petty officials. ”

"If that-" The look of longing in He's eyes flashed, and he sighed helplessly, "It would be good if I could really be naturalized." Qi'er, you're sixteen years old, too. ”

Sixteen years old, in ancient times, she was already an old girl and an older leftover girl. But if you don't get rid of the identity of a criminal wife, you will be a slave in this life, and you won't think about marriage at all.

Zhou Qi laughed, leaned sideways on his mother's body, and said softly: "Mother, our family reunion is better than anything else, don't think about those troubles, okay?" ”

"Okay, you can say anything." He took his daughter's shoulders around and gently stroked her hair.

Giggling, the little doll's palms were tickled by Zhou Qi, and her hands and feet stretched out, making a cheerful laugh.

The mother and daughter were also amused and laughed, forgetting all their worries for the time being.

At this moment, as soon as the door opened, a female worker walked in and said to Zhou Qi: "Deputy Helan is here, I want to select people to go to Luoyang, and I want everyone to gather and obey orders." ”

Yes?! Zhou Qi was taken aback, and the first thought that came to her mind was whether she would pick me? It's finally been a family reunion, why are there any complications?

……………

Xu Qilin returned to Chang'an and first went to his own house outside the city. It was a specially left residence outside the castle and could also be used as a warehouse for stock.

Although Xu Qilin has never lived there, the house is very large, and his bedroom, study, etc. are all available, except for a few people who go in for three or five days to clean up, the rest of the time is locked and closed.

After entering the study, Xu Qilin put the jade Ruyi and the clay doll in the lattice of the bookshelf, and asked his subordinates to move two jars of wine into the house and put a box of candy.

Seeing that it was still early, Xu Qilin knew that the ghost would not dare to come out until at night, so he locked the door and left the house. He sent someone to take Ruda back to his house, and informed him that he would not go back to live tonight. Then, he took Wu Xiang and others, went around half a circle from outside the city, and went directly to the workshop.

When I came to the workshop, I was just in time for Helan Chushi to choose people. This is also a matter of course, Xu Qilin didn't want to care about it, and beckoned to Helan Chushi from afar, and said hello, and went back to the office.

As soon as he sat down in the office, the officials below came in to report on his work. After Xu Qilin listened, he felt that it was no big deal, so he made arrangements casually.

sent away the officials who reported the work, and Xu Qilin also got the letter respectfully forwarded by the officials. Seeing the style of the letter, Xu Qilin knew that it was written by His Majesty Li Er, which was not a holy decree, but it should be treated solemnly.

The letter first said that Xu Qilin would transfer the drawings and physical objects of the ultimate version of Quyuan Plough to Sinong Temple, one of the nine temples, well, now it has been named Zhenguan Plough by His Majesty Li Er, which is really cheeky enough.

Sinong Temple is equivalent to the Ministry of Agriculture in later generations, and the promotion of this farming tool is their responsibility.

The technique of nailing the horseshoe was handed over to the Ordnance Warden, one of the five supervisors, and was taught with the assistance of craftsmen from the Dayingku faction.

The letter also mentioned the naturalization of the slaves and maids of the Yeting Palace, and the bigwigs of the political hall agreed in principle, but the specific implementation measures still had to be formulated and reported by Dayingku. Those who are naturalized must report detailed information, and then His Majesty Li Er's permission will agree.

How can this be like the emperor colluding with the prisoner who asked the autumn queen to behead, but it is just a woman and child who is implicated in the punishment, and I have to thank you for your kindness and miss you?

Okay, hello to this, then let's let those slaves and maids who are new to be people chant "The emperor's grace is mighty, thank you Lord Longen", or hold a parade to praise the great and benevolent His Majesty Li Er.

Xu Qilin pursed his lips and looked down again, but it was His Majesty Li Er who expressed dissatisfaction. said that it was a Xiaoyao Pill and a Strength Enhancement Pill, why didn't he give it to him to taste it?

Cut, that's medicine, you also rush to take it?

Xu Qilin rolled his eyes, took a pen and paper, and prepared to reply to His Majesty Li Er.

At this time, Helan Chushi knocked on the door and came in, saying that the personnel had been selected, and Xu Qilin was invited to make a final decision.

Xu Qilin is not very surprised that Helan Chushi is willing to go to Luoyang, this guy may still be looking forward to going outside to have a good time! In Chang'an, there is a strong father-in-law, and it is not easy to spend all day drinking and hugging left and right, right?

After taking the list, Xu Qilin looked at it at a glance. After a slight hesitation, he crossed out the names of Zhou Qi and the other two people, and said to Helan Chushi: "These three people will stay for the time being, and Helan Deputy Cheng will choose someone to fill in!" ”

Helan Chushi took back the list, didn't look at it, nodded his head, and said with a smile: "Two days later is the Bon Festival, and the wife of the lower official believes in Buddhism, so she wants to accompany her to worship the Buddha with incense, send the offering pot, and then get up and go to Luoyang." ”

Xu Qilin smiled and said, "The couple is deeply affectionate, which is enviable!" Deputy Helan is in charge of the arrangement, and it doesn't hurt to go three or five days late in Luoyang. ”

"Thank you, Xu Cheng." Helan Chushi thanked him, his eyes glanced at the letter on the table, but he didn't ask too much, and got up to say goodbye.

Hmph, hmph, you don't know how deep the water is in this big surplus reservoir, do you?

The one who came to report seemed to have a small official position, but he was sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and he could be regarded as His Majesty's eyes and ears. Do you think anyone can receive His Majesty Li Er's letter and forward it to me?

Xu Qilin rolled his eyes at Helan Chushi's back, calmed down and thought about it, and then picked up the pen to write a letter.

In fact, in addition to the need to adjust and improve the organizational structure, the operation of Dayingku is basically on the right track.

Wool spinning and sugar refining, as the largest input at present, have also smoothed out the work process and cultivated a group of technical backbones, laying the foundation for expanding production.

As long as the supply of raw materials is sufficient, machine manufacturing is not a problem, and female workers can also be transferred from the palace at any time, and the output will be greatly increased and the market will be greatly increased.

At present, almost all the woolen fabrics produced and manufactured are sold back to Li Simo to offset the purchase of wool. The remaining quantities are too small to be used as samples to advertise on the market.

Tuyuhun has purchased a batch of wool, and it is still on the way to be transported, which is estimated to alleviate the shortage of raw materials for production.

As for the sugar, it had to be transported from the south. The high freight rate forced Xu Qilin to transfer personnel and craftsmen to Luoyang for nearby processing.

In addition to these two bulk products, the leather manufacturing process is also constantly maturing and improving, gloves, belts, leather boots, will be put on the market in the autumn.

In fact, according to the current production, there is no need to sell it on the market at all. His Majesty Li Er has a vision, and most of these leather products will be purchased by the ordnance superintendent and distributed to the army as military supplies.

Even woolen fabrics can be made into autumn and winter military uniforms, and they can be used on the big ship of military supply.

As for the horseshoe and Zhenguan plow, Xu Qilin didn't plan to use it to make money at all, so he gave away his prestige for nothing.

It is precisely because Dayingku has formed an industry with a lot of stamina in a short period of time, and Xu Qilin's hands and feet are clean, and the public and private are clear, that he has won the trust and support of His Majesty Li Er.

To put it bluntly, whoever comes here will definitely not do as well as Xu Qilin.

Xu Qilin believed that the development and operation of the Great Surplus Treasury were all known to His Majesty Li Er, and there was no need to elaborate on them in his letters.

In addition to explaining to His Majesty Li Er that medicine should not be taken indiscriminately, Xu Qilin also deliberately mentioned the problem of Cao Yun to pave the way for future intervention.

Because it has something to do with the development of Dayingku, Xu Qilin doesn't feel very abrupt. Of course, if you want to use troops against Gaochang, transporting grain by Cao Road will be the top priority next year, and His Majesty Li Er probably also expects it.

Seeing that it was almost dusk, Xu Qilin left the office and took the people back to the house outside the city.

Let the subordinate go to the restaurant next to him and order a few dishes and send them to the study, after closing the door, Xu Qilin launched the soul detention order, moved to his right eye with his consciousness, and saw Xiao Ye sitting at the table, holding the mud doll in one hand, holding his chin in the other, looking at the food, looking salivating.

The reason why it is now used is because Xu Qilin doesn't want to see ghosts all the time. No one is happy to change, there should be a lot of ghosts, since it doesn't hinder you, looking at the scene of people and ghosts, it won't be a pleasing feeling, right?

Xu Qilin smiled, sat opposite Xiao Ye, and before he could speak, Xiao Ye turned his head, frowned and asked, "What about my sister?" What did you do with her? ”

"I'll let her out." Xu Qilin picked up the chopsticks and ate a few bites of food before releasing Daya from the soul detention order.

Daya looked confused when she appeared, and then swooped into the small jade ruyi, which should be a purely instinctive evasion reaction.

Sure enough, although he didn't know the reason, Xu Qilin also guessed that Daya and Xiaoye's ghosts were entrusted with jade Ruyi and mud dolls. I don't know what the consequences will be if these two things are destroyed.

"Sister, sister." Xiao Ye jumped down and ran over to call out repeatedly.

Soon, Daya heard her sister's voice, reappeared, hugged her sister, looked left and right, and asked a few words before relieving herself.

Xu Qilin sat there, looking at it with a smile, and said in his heart: Now you know how powerful I am, the taste of being locked up in the soul detention order is not comfortable, right?

Daya came back to her senses and stared at Xu Qilin thoughtfully. Banyan smiled, led Xiao Ye to the table, sat opposite Xu Qilin honestly and unceremoniously, took the wine jug and poured himself a glass of wine, and stuffed the chopsticks into the girl's hand.

"Don't you love to eat things from the world?" Daya pointed to the dishes on the table, and smiled at Xiao Ye: "Eat the same, not a lot!" ”

Xiao Ye grinned, raised her chin at Xu Qilin, as if she was angry with him, and stretched out her chopsticks to pick up the food.

"If you eat too much, you can't float?" Xu Qilin guessed the approximate and said with a smile: "Then what do you usually eat?" ”

"I won't tell you." Xiao Ye chewed the vegetables in her mouth and said vaguely.

Daya took a sip of wine, exhaled a sip of wine comfortably, and said, "After drinking so much wine, it's because your family is strong and spicy enough." ”

Xu Qilin laughed twice and ate the wine and food unhurriedly.

"What did you put me in?" Daya suddenly fanned her eyes, a little puzzled, but more curious, "I didn't expect you to have this ability, but I underestimated you." ”

"Scared, aren't you?" Xu Qilin raised his eyebrows and said, "If you are not honest and obedient, I will lock you up, and it is useless to run anywhere." ”
