Of course, if you are optimistic about the quality of cotton cloth and compare it with planting mulberry and raising silkworms, there will be no obstacle to the promotion and planting of cotton.

In ancient times, persuading farmers was one of the most important tasks. One is to eat in the mouth, and the other is to wear the shirt, which are the two most basic major events related to people's livelihood.

In the spring of next year, Xu Qilin will find one or two acres of land and plant all the cotton seeds in the Royal Forest Garden.

When the autumn harvest comes, it's not just a piece of cotton cloth that you can weave, but a quilt and a jacket. Give it a try to His Majesty Li Er, and he will get hot and have a nosebleed.

As for this winter, the coal in Weinan has been dug up, although the output is not large, and the labor is insufficient, but when it is hoarded to heat the fire, it should be able to satisfy the families of a few powerful and wealthy people in Chang'an.

This of course includes the fire wall of the house, as well as the residence of the old lady and the two little princesses in the palace. Okay, get a warm kang for His Majesty Li Er, so as not to suffer in the palace that is damp in summer and cold in winter.

Although no one can freeze the emperor, and no one can freeze the emperor's relatives and relatives. But in the hut outside the palace, burning the fire wall with coal is much better than using charcoal for heating, and you don't have to worry too much about carbon monoxide poisoning or something.

Xu Qilin ended his obscenity, retracted his thoughts, and arranged all the work properly. After everyone left, they breathed a long sigh of relief.

The work of the first year is basically completed, and the income is not large, but the stall has been rolled out, and several main businesses have also laid a good foundation, and the rest is to continue to develop and recover the investment.

Like wool spinning and coal, it also needs a process that people agree with. In addition, the number is small, so it can only be promoted and used at the upper level first.

The salt refining workshop that has just been built is different, like white sugar, it has a wide range of consumption, many consumers, and people from all walks of life can use it, but it is just how much they buy and consume.

Only by transporting refined salt and sugar to the south and grain to the north should not be empty as much as possible, so that the transportation efficiency can be improved to the highest level and the economic exchanges between the north and the south can be promoted to a greater extent.

At present, only these two bulk commodities in Guanzhong can be shipped out in batches, and they can be compared with the grain transported to the north, although it is still far from enough.

And the south brought not only grain, but also silk, tea, fruits, and so on.

Xu Qilin can only cry out in vain, Guanzhong, which was once the land of kings, due to the destruction of the natural environment, it has been difficult to compete with Kanto and Jiangnan in terms of material production and economy.

Chang'an, like Beijing in later generations, can only play the role of a political center, but in terms of economic strength, it has been surpassed by Shang, Guang and Shen.

It is imperative to open the Western Regions! Xu Qilin expressed his heartfelt emotion, as the starting point of the Silk Road, with the prosperity of the Silk Road, Chang'an can continue to be brilliant!

……………

At the send-off banquet, Xu Qilin and a group of young men ate and drank nonsense, and then went to Yichun Courtyard to have a good time.

In Xu Qilin's view, this is purely a waste of money and nonsense.

There is no such function, and no one looks like a prince full of poetry, who is coaxed and laughed by a group of girls, at most it can make the pig's trotters enjoyable, and the money flows out in a hurry.

It's really painful to have a weak heart! Surrounded by beautiful people, Xu Qilin has no interest in composing poetry, so he will keep it and pretend to be forced when he grows up.

Tang Yiyi rushed to greet him, ready to chat a few words, play a song and leave. It's like meeting an acquaintance in a hotel in the future, and you have to serve a wine to toast.

"Xu Lang wants to go far away, and the slave family can't fold the willows to send each other, so he will play a song as a farewell." Tang Yiyi chatted with Xu Qilin for a few words, and then ordered the maid to set the piano.

Xu Qilin nodded with a smile and said, "I can listen to the music of Tang Niangzi, and I feel very warm." ”

Tang Yiyi smiled and said, "The slave family's piano skills are poor, but they are much worse than Zheng Niangzi of the Xiaolang family." ”

Xu Qilin waved his hand and said, "Mrs. Zheng is a free body, not a certain family." ”

"The slave family made a mistake, Xiaolang don't want to be surprised." Tang Yiyi's face flashed with envy, probably thinking of his own situation, he got up, walked to the piano and sat down, stretched out his hand to stroke the strings, and played.

Including Xu Qilin, they are not very interested in this elegant play. Several teenagers were accompanied by beautiful women, shouting and laughing and fighting. Out of politeness, Xu Qilin also pretended to be appreciative and intoxicated.

The music did not stop, but there was a noise outside, as if someone was shouting and scolding.

Before everyone could hear what was going on, the door was kicked open, and with a heavy sound, several people strode into the room, swearing and swearing.

Tang Yiyi's face changed, and she hurriedly got up and went up to prepare for persuasion.

"What for?" Cheng Chubi jumped up with a loud shout, his face was flushed, his body was still shaking, he stared at the uninvited guests who came in, and scolded, "Dare, dare to disturb the master's Yaxing, so bold." ”

On the other side, Yu Chihuan casually picked up a wine glass, smashed his head, and scolded, "Get out, bastard." ”

The teenagers had already drunk a lot, and they were so angry and courageous that their tempers were not very good, and they shouted and scolded one after another, and some of them even threw their arms and fists, and they were about to come forward to fight.

The few people who rushed into the house in a hurry didn't expect it to be like this, a group of half-sized people who spewed alcohol in their mouths, and they were not ordinary people when they looked at their clothes. But the front is already so horizontal, and it is retracted all of a sudden, where is this face placed?

"Tang Yiyi was the girl we ordered first, but she left the table and ran here." A young man with oily hair and a powdery face held a folding fan and said loudly, "It is this Yichun Courtyard that breaks the rules, and we also reason with them, and have nothing to do with others." ”

Another young man didn't want to make a big deal out of it, so he arched his hand around, "If there is anything offended, please ask you Haihan." ”

Tang Yiyi had already rushed over, and Shi Li apologized, "It's the slave's family." Knowing that a friend will travel far away, he will come to offer a farewell song, which is going back to accompany him, please forgive me. ”

Xu Qilin had already stood up, but when he saw Tang Yiyi say this, he cast a suggestive glance at him again, and he didn't seem to want to make a big deal about it.

After all, it is always troublesome to open the door to welcome customers to do business, and it is always troublesome to make a mess or make guests hold a grudge and revenge.

Humming heavily, Xu Qilin raised his hand and signaled his friends to be calm.

Seeing that their goal had been achieved, the group turned and walked out. But there is a stupid B second goods, who has to sell well when he gets cheap, and he scolds Tang Yiyi.

"The stinky shelf of the leader of the less flowery case is just a prostitute who sells laughter. If you spend money, you will wait honestly, and you can give a few rewards when you are happy. ”

Tang Yiyi's face turned red, bit her lip, and protested, "Although the slave family has a humble status, it can't be so humiliated. ”

"What did you do to humiliate you?" This second guy is still a violent temper, and raising his hand is a slap, "What if the master hits you?" ”

Tang Yiyi was caught off guard, was staggered by a slap, and fell to the ground.

"Fuck you!" Xu Qilin jumped up violently, picked up the wine jug and smashed it over. Regardless of whether it was smashed or not, he hurried under his feet, and picked up a wooden flower pot stand, and regardless of the flower pot falling to the ground and falling to pieces, he picked up the wooden shelf and hit it.

He did a good job, and the teenagers who had just stopped were immediately ignited with the smell of alcohol all over their bodies, jumped up with a whimper, grabbed plates and dishes and smashed them. Then some of them picked up their stools, some of them their horses, and they hit a few guys.

The dishes and cups smashed over their heads and faces, and several guys hurriedly hid or blocked, and they were in a hurry, but they also suffered a lot.

Before the parry was finished, Xu Qilin had already picked up the wooden shelf to kill, and suddenly slammed it on the arm of the guy with the folding fan covering his head and face.

The wooden shelves were half a man high, and they weren't very strong, and they fell apart with a bang, but this time the guy staggered back.

Xu Qilin only had a ruler-long wooden stick left in his hand, and he picked it up again and slammed it on the guy's head.

The guy let out a scream, and blood ran down his forehead, trickling into his eyes, blurring his vision.

Taking advantage of this guy's time to cover his head and wipe his eyes, Xu Qilin kicked again, and immediately kicked this guy "uh", like a prawn with a bowed waist, he knelt down and covered his crotch and lost his combat effectiveness.

Cheng Chubi, Wei Chihuan and others also pounced on the fight, and the other two guys relied on the advantages of age, height, and weight, and they could parry one or two.

Fang Erben was already drunk and dazed, and his head hung down and half lay on the table. The three guys kicked in the door just now, and he just opened his drunken eyes and looked stupidly.

But after this fight, he immediately sat up and his eyes widened. In the middle of the night, this guy woke up like a big dream, jumped up with a strange scream, and rushed towards the nearest opponent.

But in the end, there was still too much wine, and Fang Shuang's feet were not very flexible, and before he could get to the front, he collided with Xue Zonggui, who was kicked out.

The screams and shouts were mixed with the screams and cries of women, the tables and chairs clanged, the dishes crackled and shattered, and the room was in chaos.

Ouch, Xu Qilin also moved forward, but was slammed back by someone's fist and hit him in the face. Taking two steps back, Xu Qilin grinned, and even his vision was affected.

The remaining two guys had quite a lot of experience in fighting, back to back, resisting the constant punches and kicks around them, occasionally fighting back, and knocking the teenager back.

Xu Qilin adjusted, jumped on a table, condescendingly, and smashed the dishes with them.

Oops, ouch! From time to time, the two guys raised their hands and bent their arms to parry, and let out screams of surprise and pain.

At this moment, their defense showed flaws, and they couldn't take care of it, and they were disrupted by a chair that Xue Zonggui coldly picked up.

Wei Chihuan saw the opportunity, and suddenly jumped onto the back of a guy, his arms tightened, his legs crossed, and he let this guy spin and struggle, but he didn't let go.

Fang Er got up from the ground, pounced on it, hugged one of the guy's legs, and slammed it with all his strength. Two more teenagers pounced on him and threw this guy down, and several teenagers pressed their hands and legs, fists and feet together, and beat this guy screaming again and again.

Only the second person who beat Tang Yiyi is still insisting, he is in good health, and he can also punch and kick. It can be seen that his companion was knocked over, and he was alone, so he thought about withdrawing to move the rescuers.

Xu Qilin jumped off the table, approached from the side, and threw the stool and matza behind this guy, causing this guy to almost trip.

Seeing the opportunity, Xu Qilin jumped on a chair violently, and then kicked his strength, volleyed his knees, and attacked the opponent.

This guy suddenly saw a black shadow pressing on, and hurriedly reached out to block the frame, and the top of his knee was blocked. But the moment Xu Qilin was pushed away, he punched him in the nose hard.

"Ahh

"I'll fight." Cheng Chubi took the opportunity to sneak attack and smashed a stool on his leg.

Although he didn't break this guy's leg, it hurt him so much that he almost fell down.

Boom, Xue Zonggui kicked again, making it even more difficult for him to fight back.

A few Zhengtai punched me and kicked me, greeted me fiercely, and knocked this guy to the ground.

"Tell you to hit a woman, suffocate your grandson." Xu Qilin didn't stop, he went up with two feet, beating and scolding.

Oh, Zhengtai suddenly, Xu Qilin suddenly broke out, it turned out to be because of this.

"Don't, don't grandson, tell you to hit women." Cheng Chubi seemed to feel the same way, or found a reason to fight unevenly, and also stepped forward to beat him.

Seeing that the three guys were covered in blood, falling to the ground and moaning in pain, the fake mother of Yichun Courtyard, who was so frightened that she hid aside, woke up.

It is not uncommon to have jealous disputes in the Qinglou, but no matter how much you toss, you don't want to kill anyone.

She hurriedly stepped forward with courage, and persuaded Xu Qilin, who was familiar with her, "Xiaolang forgives the sin, don't beat too hard, let alone kill anyone." ”

While persuading, the fake mother glanced at Tang Yiyi. Tang Yiyi still has resentment in her heart, but she also has to take care of the overall situation and doesn't want to cause too much trouble. She hurriedly stepped forward to grab Xu Qilin and persuaded her in every possible way.

Xu Qilin was still angry, but he also knew it, and beckoned the Zhengtai to stop beating.

"Where did these three guys come from?" Xu Qilin turned to the fake mother and asked, "Have you been here before?" ”

The fake mother grinned and looked at Tang Yiyi, knowing that she knew best.

Tang Yiyi frowned, and whispered in Xu Qilin's ear, "The one who holds the folding fan is Xu Ang, the son of Xu Jingzong, a scholar from Zhongshushe, and it is Qian Xiaoqiang, the son of Chao Guogong, who beats the slave family." ”

Xu Jingzong, Wu Mei'er hasn't turned over, you should also squint! Qian Jiulong, I don't know him well, and he shouldn't be a powerful person.

Xu Qilin nodded, his heart was settled, and he stepped forward and kicked hard before beckoning everyone to stop, and let the people of Yichun Courtyard carry away the three guys who couldn't get up.

"Count the losses, and a certain family will pay for them." Xu Qilin waved his hand generously and said to the Zhengtai, "All the brothers are brave, let's win a big victory!" If you change places, let's continue to have fun. ”

"Yes, yes!" Cheng Chubi took the lead in responding and said, "I usually say that this place is good, but I don't think so." If you don't want to see it, you won't come! ”

Well, you won't be able to get rid of it when you grow up. Xu Qilin sneered, but pretended to nod in agreement.

The Zhengtai were already idle enough because His Majesty Li Er went to Jiucheng Palace, but today they were eating, drinking, playing, and having another fight, which can be described as fun. Hearing Xu Qilin say this, they can change to a new place, and they all agreed.

Xu Qilin glanced at the worried look on Tang Yiyi's face, and said comfortingly, "The family history of a certain and these brothers, Tang Niangzi must know something." If the surnamed Xu and the surnamed Qian come to find trouble, tell them the truth, and forgive them and dare not entangle. ”

Tang Yiyi barely squeezed out a smile and nodded lightly.

"If they still refuse to give up, you can go to Li Wenhao of the "People's Voice", and he will deal with it." Xu Qilin continued, "Before I leave, I will explain the matter to him. ”

"Thank you, Xu Lang." Tang Yi bowed down in his clothes, and this time he was a little relieved.
