Besides, he didn't open a good hall, so let the ghost sister drink the spicy and valuable incense, how can he get back the cost, right?

Thinking of this, Xu Qilin had an idea, and said with a smile: "It's not necessary to make a fortune, as long as you don't hurt others, I can let you go, but there are two conditions." ”

Sister Ghost's eyes blink slowly, and her head doesn't seem to be quite awake yet.

After a sigh, Xiao Ye said, "Say, what conditions?" Look at her like that, I'll just listen. ”

Xu Qilin shrugged his shoulders helplessly and said, "The first condition, tell me the names of the two of you......"

……………

It's not uncommon for goblins to know that there are treasures hidden underground.

But Xu Qilin didn't have the idea of digging treasure to get rich, he just didn't want the ghost sister to drink his own fragrance in vain, and he scared the people in the workshop enough.

In fact, Xu Qilin is not good at catching ghosts and destroying ghosts, and even catching Xiaoye is a coincidence. He didn't even know what to do after putting the ghost in the Soul Detention Order, so he kept it inside?

Therefore, knowing the names of Xiaoye and the ghost sister, and negotiating the conditions, Xu Qilin let the two ghosts go. If they dare to harm people, it's not too late to use the Soul Detention Order.

The next day, Xu Qilin went to the workshop, pretending to paste charms and burn incense to invite God. After a little tossing, he told the people that the evil had been driven away, and that no strange things would happen.

Not to mention the feudal superstition of the people at that time, there were fewer things to burn incense and worship Buddha and worship the gods in later generations? Walking through the normal ceremony will make it look solemn and make people feel at ease.

Subsequently, Xu Qilin spent another day in the workshop, inspecting the work and listening to the report, which was also to appease people.

Despite the fear of people, the workshop is still expanding according to plan, and it is running to Xu Qilin's satisfaction.

If it weren't for the small number of people in Guanzhong, it would not be easy to recruit so many workers. The farmer on the farm can also do odd jobs, but it is not as good as a regular factory as it is now.

In the Tang Dynasty, especially in the early Tang Dynasty, due to the sharp decline in population caused by the Sui Rebellion, the problem of labor shortage has always been a major difficulty restricting the recovery and development of agriculture and economy.

In addition to promulgating edicts encouraging civil marriages, standardizing the age of marriage, and encouraging adult men and women who had lost their spouses to remarry, the imperial court also regarded these as one of the important contents of the evaluation of the history of assassination and the performance of county decrees.

In order to reward the surge in population, in the third year of Zhenguan, Tang Taizong also issued an edict: "If a woman gives birth to a male in the first month, she will be given a stone of corn."

Giving birth to a boy and a girl is the same, why only give a reward for giving a boy baby? Xu Qilin wanted to complain, but he didn't have the financial resources yet, so he could only count on the fact that Dayingku could earn gold and silver.

Encouraging fertility is a trick, and His Majesty Li Er also went out of the palace maid in the second year of Zhenguan in the west gate of the Ye Ting, "more than 3,000 people before and after, belonging to his relatives, and allowed to marry."

In this regard, Xu Qilin quite agreed. Why do you have so many palace maids, the financial expenditure is small, and it is a big deal that the people can't marry their daughters-in-law.

And the quickest way to increase the population is to redeem the border areas, or to avoid the war and flow into the Yi area, or to be plundered by Rong and Di Chinese.

From the early years of Zhenguan to the present, according to the statistics of the imperial court, a total of more than one million people have been edicted or redeemed and have become official Tang people.

Even so, compared to the vast territory of the Tang Dynasty, the population of less than 20 million is still pitiful.

The resulting problem is not only that the newly expanded territory is difficult to stabilize, but also that the development of places such as Lingnan, You, Hebei, and Yingzhou has also been greatly affected.

And when Xu Qilin felt the benefits of Guanzhong's large population, he did not forget about immigration. On the one hand, the population of Guanzhong is moved to a place with few people, and on the other hand, it is to accept foreigners, which can be called attachment or assimilation.

There are a lot of so-called expats who are just relative to the present. For example, the fangs in the southwest region and the Nanzhao Department will not all evolve into members of the Chinese nation in the long river of history in the future?

Another example is the current Eastern Turkic people, and there are not a few people who admire the Tang Dynasty and are loyal to the imperial court. As long as all kinds of means are applied, it is not impossible to get rid of the country and the people.

And Yidi can plunder the Chinese population, and China can also plunder the population of other countries. When His Majesty Li Er conquered Goguryeo, he forcibly relocated more than 100,000 Goguryeo people in Liaodong and settled them in the land of Jianghuai.

At that time, the concepts and divisions of the state and the nation were not so strict, and the disappeared nations and assimilated nations were innumerable.

It is precisely because of this that Xu Qilin feels that sooner or later his idea of immigrating to the interior will be agreed to be implemented by His Majesty Li Er.

Of course, before you can really confirm that foreigners can have Tang status, you have to make contributions and have a strong sense of belonging to Datang. As for the prisoners of war, they had to undergo labor reform, that is, they had to work for a few years in vain, and those who survived were blessed.

Even Xu Qilin himself believed this. What kind of slaves, how spicy and ugly, we use labor to let them master life skills, and use advanced ideas to edify and influence them.

When he saw the masturbation, Xu Qilin strengthened his belief. Look at this guy, it's not been a long time, and it's changed a lot, and that's proof!

"This kid is a good hand at raising horses and feeding cattle, and he can also treat livestock!" Xu Bao smiled and complimented: "It's still Ah Lang's unique vision, and this kid is also blessed." ”

Well, well, there will be more blessed guys in the future, more ah!

Xu Qilin nodded again and again, with a smug face, and suddenly remembered something again, stretched out his hand and shouted: "Masturbation, come here, come here." ”

Waiting for the masturbation to get closer, Xu Qilin couldn't help scratching his head and said, "Change your name, it sounds a little awkward." ”

Not only awkward, but also vulgar!

After thinking about it, he said: "Everyone is used to it, and the little ones are afraid that they won't be able to change it for a while." ”

"Homophony, homophony!" Xu Qilin smiled and waved his hand, thought for a while, and said, "Just call it Luda, it's almost the same as the original." ”

"Rudaba?" Ruda, who was clearly mistaken, repeated.

Xu Qilin rolled his eyes, this barbarian didn't even understand the particle, so he had to say again: "Luda, Luda, surnamed Lu Mingda, understand?" ”

Luda nodded, whether he really understood or fakely understood, Xu Qilin didn't know.

"Are there any docile horses?" Xu Qilin opened his mouth and asked: "If someone who is smaller than someone wants to ride, you don't need to be too tall." ”

Ruda thought for a moment and said, "If you find a random horse that can be ridden, it won't be difficult." I'm afraid that the mount is not good, and Ah Lang can't look down on it. ”

Xu Qilin said: "As long as you can ride, it's not too dirty and ugly." It's just a matter of practicing first, and it's not too late to change mounts later. ”

"So, is the donkey okay?" Ruda looked at Xu Qilin with some apprehension, feeling that he might be beaten.

Xu Qilin also looked at Luda, and his expression didn't seem to be teasing him. Maxima is familiar, and this donkey seems to be only related to the word "strong".

"The donkey is docile, but he is not slow to run." Ruda hurriedly explained: "It's a pity to watch it grind lightly." ”

Hehe, Xu Qilin smiled and asked, "I've only heard of Maxima, can this donkey run hundreds of miles?" ”

Ruda grinned and said, "The little one sees that this donkey has a lot of stamina, and within a hundred miles it must be a horse that can run fast, but if it is two hundred miles, there are not many good horses that can outrun it." ”

I'm quite confident, so let's take a look at these thousands of miles, no, what is a 200-mile donkey like?

Xu Qilin waved his hand to let Luda go down and lead the donkey, tilted his head and thought about it, if Scarlett rode a donkey, it would be fine! The little daughter-in-law rides a donkey, which is also said.

It took a long time for Ruda to bring the donkey. Obviously, he scrubbed the donkey clean, so Xu Qilin waited a little longer.

Xu Qilin walked over and looked carefully at the Baili donkey, which was highly praised by Luda. Except that it wasn't too dirty, he couldn't see where the donkey had passed.

The donkey seemed to be looking at Xu Qilin, its big head was turning left and right, and its front hooves were still on the ground.

"They all say donkeys, can it make people ride?" Xu Qilin was not sure, and reached out to touch the donkey's ears, but was thrown away by the little donkey.

"This donkey is recognized, and it is good when it is cooked." Ruda reached out and touched the donkey's head, but the donkey did not hide from him.

Xu Qilin frowned and thought, no matter how many miles away, it is not as good as a horse! It's better to buy a foal and let Scarlett ride while feeding, the pony grows up, the relationship between man and horse is cultivated, and this riding skill is almost practiced.

Luda saw Xu Qilin's hesitation, and said on the side: "This donkey is very human, and it is easier to tame than a horse. Ah Lang looked at its size, and then looked at its head and neck, chest and rib arch, and ran for a long time. It will grow in about half a year, and it is a good mount to pull the mill and pull the cart, which is a pity. ”

It's a pity to pull the cart and grind, and turning it into donkey meat can reflect the final value.

Xu Qilin pursed the corners of his mouth slightly and said: "In this way, you can take care of this donkey and the livestock in the house when you go back to Chang'an." ”

Ruda thought about it, looked at the donkey again, and nodded in agreement.

After the things in the workshop were arranged, Xu Qilin called Xu Bao and a few subordinates, and took a shovel and pickaxe to a place.

It used to be part of the Zhuangzi, but it was in ruins due to the war. It was later demolished and leveled, and it was already a vegetable patch.

Xu Qilin searched for a while, found the mark, and ordered his subordinates to excavate.

The subordinates don't know why, but whoever dares not to listen to the words of the master's family just do it. When digging to a depth of more than a meter, the shovel and pickaxe hit a hard object, like a stone slab.

Enlarge the pit a little, expose all the stone slabs that are not too large, and then find a gap and pry it up, it turns out that it is covered with a large jar.

Xu Qilin ordered someone to dig the jar out of the soil, and it was heavy enough to be fifty or sixty catties.

A subordinate reached out and took out a few pieces of blackened things from the jar and put them in front of Xu Qilin.

"Ah Lang, this is the silver collar." Xu Bao's eyes widened, and the surprise was a little unbelievable.

During the Sui and Tang dynasties, silver was not a currency in circulation, but gold and silver, as precious metals, were common and strong monetary equivalents. Unlike ingot-shaped silver ingots, silver at that time was usually cast in the shape of cakes or collars.

Xu Qilin pursed his lips and smiled, and said, "Take inventory, and bring it back to Chang'an tomorrow." ”

Xu Bao nodded in agreement, and added: "Look at this color, the years are not short, it should be the property of the previous dynasty." ”

Xu Qilin didn't say anything, and only after a while did he speak: "Each person will be rewarded with 100 yuan, and the mouth should be tight." ”

Xu Bao immediately warned these subordinates with a fake face, who dared to talk nonsense about their lives and so on.

In fact, this is not the main thing, even if it is leaked out, it can only make people jealous and blushing. As long as he doesn't break the law, Xu Qilin is not very worried and afraid.

The important thing is that the two ghosts have faith in their words, and they have also passed Xu Qilin's test. Otherwise, Xu Qilin will detain them and lock them in the soul detention order.

After the silver collar was counted, Xu Qilin made a silent calculation, and felt that even if he offered the female ghost another year or two to drink, it would not be a loss. Xianglu, it's better not to be so extravagant.

Although the female ghosts were let go for the time being, Xu Qilin would not let them continue to stay here. The heart of anti-ghost is indispensable, who knows if he returns to Chang'an, what kind of demons will be made by these two ghosts.

Stealing candy and wine, or even stealing fragrance dew, is nothing in Xu Qilin's eyes. But the little sister is here, there are always ghosts wandering around, where can he rest assured.

Therefore, he negotiated with the two ghosts and agreed that he would follow him to Chang'an and settle down in a shop outside the city for the time being. There are sweets to eat, there are drinks to drink, what do you ask for too much?

But it was a good thing, but in the evening, when Xu Qilin saw the two ghosts Daya and Xiaoye again, they changed their minds.

"You've dug up the money, and it's enough to pay for the wine you stole and drunk." Daya was very sober today, and she didn't have the slightest fear in the face of Xu Qilin, and she seemed fearless, "Why do you want to go with you and listen to your arrangement?" Whether you're a good guy or a bad guy, we haven't figured it out yet! ”

Xiao Ye nodded his little head vigorously and echoed: "The heart of defense is indispensable, I think you are not a good person, you are a big villain who bullies children." ”

Xu Qilin rolled his eyes and said unhappily: "Talking doesn't count, does it?" Do you really think that someone can't do anything about you, and can't cure you? ”

Daya smiled and said, "You have yin and yang eyes, it's amazing, aren't you?" They can see our sisters, but they want to catch us again. Today is no better than yesterday, we have to leave, you can't stop it. ”

Xiao Ye grinned and said, "I didn't eat anything today, you want to catch me, come on, come on!" As he spoke, this little ghost was still shaking his little head from side to side, provoking Xu Qilin.

Xu Qilin laughed twice, didn't talk nonsense, secretly launched the soul detention order, and recited the incantation.

Daya, who was still proud, suddenly felt a powerful suction, and before he could let out an exclamation, he disappeared without a trace and was taken in by the Soul Detention Order.

Sayo's smile froze on her face, and her mouth opened in an "O" shape and couldn't close.

Xu Qilin stretched out his hand to light Xiaoye, and said with a wicked smile: "You are running, running!" ”

"You, where did you get my sister?" Xiao Ye's voice trembled, obviously frightened.

Xu Qilin walked up a few steps, bent down and picked up something where Daya disappeared, which was a palm-sized Ruyi that fell from Daya's body.

Xiao Ye's face became more frightened, she knew the importance of this thing, and it fell to the ground, indicating that Sister Ah was more than lucky.
