Chapter 266 Busy Preparations

On this day, Xu Qilin did not go to work in Dayingku. He had to go to the banquet at night, so during the day he would send a visit to the city.

Although I feel that if I go to Ganzhou to work, I may not dare to make fun of my family's industries and shops, I am not ruled out.

Moreover, Xu Qilin didn't want his sister to stand up, nor did he want to complain to His Majesty Li Er. He also had connections, such as Princess Changle, Changsun Chong, Xiang Yuchi Gong, and Ma Zhou, they would all help.

What's more, there are two young masters in the palace who asked Xiao Zhao to find him. It would definitely work. The influence of these two girls on His Majesty Li Er is no less than that of any important official in the court.

"Qi Lin went to the post with peace of mind. If there is anything at home, he would come to the mansion to inform me that the palace and the prince consort would do his best to help." Li Lizhi withdrew her white wrist and made a promise with a smile.

Xu Qilin smiled and nodded, saying, "Then I will thank His Highness the Princess and the Prince Consort first." As he said that, he took the paper and pen and wrote the following paper.

"It is impossible to cure your highness's qi disease, but it is not difficult to prolong your life if you need to do more conditioning." Xu Qilin handed over the prescription and said, "It's a pity that my master's whereabouts are erratic, and he only learned the superficial."

"Even this fur, I have benefited a lot." Li Lizhi smiled and said, "I feel that my condition has been greatly relieved until now when drinking health tea. I have only suffered twice in autumn and winter."

"Thanks to the pressure of the medicine cigarette." Changsun Chong echoed: "If Qi Lin had not repeatedly reminded him not to use it more often, Your Highness the Princess was afraid that he would smoke cigarettes every day!"

Li Lizhi gave her husband anger and said, "After sucking, you breathe smoothly, and you can sleep well. It's three parts poisonous to the medicine, and this medicine is probably not that powerful. Qi Lin has never used it, so he repeatedly reminds him to be cautious."

Xu Qilin thought for a while and said, "When someone asks the master again, there will be better medicines. But I don't know when I will get them."

"I am so grateful to you with this kind of heart." Li Lizhi nodded and said, "Ganzhou is remote and cold, Qi Lin should pay more attention to his health."

After Xu Qilin thanked him, he stood up and said goodbye, and Changsun Chong sent him to him to the mansion.

"I know that Qi Lin is raising money everywhere. There are 3,000 guan here. Please don't think it's too small and you must accept it." Changsun Chong waved his hand and sent it to him, and a servant brought a bag of silver cakes.

Xu Qilin scratched his head and said to himself: I am raising money, not borrowing money, let alone giving alms. It seems that Changsun Chong and Li Lizhi still don’t understand this investment, but because of the close relationship, they help him.

"This—" Xu Qilin laughed and said, "Brother Changsun will not refuse. But this investment may be different from what you think."

"What's the same thing." Changsun Chong waved his hand indifferently and said, "You can spend whatever you want. If you say too much, you will be indifferent."

Xu Qilin smiled and nodded and said, "Since that's the case, then I won't say too much to Brother Changsun, so I'll let Brother Changsun know about it in the future."

As he said that, Xu Qilin bid farewell on weekdays and rode away with the man.

Over the whole day, Xu Qilin found that his visit was really rewarding. Even Ma Zhou sponsored 1,000 guan, which made Xu Qilin helpless.

Although I really want to say that I didn’t come to ask for money, they all said it very well, and you would be embarrassed to not accept it.

Fortunately, this does not affect Xu Qilin's fundraising plan. If the money comes to Xu Qilin's hands, there will naturally be profits. When the time comes, these guys who are free to think about it will understand, right?

I guess I could get a lot of money at the evening banquet. Xu Qilin carefully recorded the names and amounts of investors, and had some expectations for the dinner.

Even if some powerful and high-ranking officials have the intention to invest and rely on their own identities, they do not want to deal with the junior Xu Qilin directly.

It is a good way to make money and make Xu Qilin good. It can make money and make Xu Qilin well, and the best of both worlds.

I have to say that Xu Qilin is already the best among the younger generation.

Perhaps the official rank is not the highest, or the title is not the most obvious, but this is obtained through personal efforts. It is incomparable to those who inherit the title and salary based on the kindness of their fathers.

At the same time, everyone also saw His Majesty Li Er’s trust in Xu Qilin. First, the reform of the canal transportation, and then the promotion to governor, a young man who was only thirteen years old, was not an exaggeration to describe him as a rising star.

In addition, Xu Qilin has a bright future because of his kinship with the royal family, and many people have made such a judgment. Therefore, for the future family development and the future of the children, it is natural to make friends with Xu Qilin.

It is considered an early investment and also an recognition of Xu Qilin's potential. This is the same as the prince or Li Sipang. It is normal for humans to seek profit and avoid harm.

Sure enough, when Xu Qilin came to the restaurant, he saw many "friends" with him in the past.

Needless to say, there are also a few who were once prepared by Qianniu, who only had one side of the world, who could barely speak and call them by their names.

Of course, they are still similar in age, and those older than Xu Qilin are only two or three years old.

Xu Qilin didn't care. He was not very different in age, and he had some common language. Moreover, his thinking and speaking were more direct, more sincere, less hypocritical and cunning.

"I dare not say anything else. If you want to make money, it is a must." Xu Qilin took a glass of wine and stood up with the alcohol and said, "Brothers, you can contribute money and make strong efforts. It doesn't matter if you don't understand investment. You always understand what it means to invest."

"I understand, understand." Cheng Chubi chewed in his mouth and immediately agreed, but Xu Qilin felt that the guy who was the one who didn't understand the most should be this guy.

"It is said that the Hexi is deserted and bitter and cold, but according to Qi Lin's temperament, there is no benefit. If you don't enjoy happiness, no one will believe it." Liu Hongye smiled and joked: "I guess we don't have enough vision and don't know what treasures are hidden there."

Yuchi Huan nodded repeatedly and said, "I feel this way. Brother Lin is very particular, and he needs to be comfortable in food, clothing and housing. He wants to go to Hexi, and can he still suffer? He doesn't believe it if he beats me to death."

Xu Qilin laughed and said, "Hexi is vast and sparsely populated, which is what the world calls it desolate, bitter and cold. But you don't know that there are also good places where there are warm winter and cool summer, and the environment is more comfortable than Chang'an."

"I just said, Brother Lin won't go if he doesn't enjoy happiness!" Yuchi Huan looked around proudly as if he was as expected.

Although Zhang Shenxing had a marriage with Xu Qilin, it was considered to have been revealed. Xu Qilin has made great achievements in the past six months and has been promoted to a title, but he has to accept it.

The young man has not had so many family spirits. If he loses a fight, he has to be convinced; if he doesn't have that great ability, he has to be convinced. Therefore, the two of them have seen each other several times, but it seems that they have forgotten the previous disagreement.

"Qi Lin, I wish you a good journey." Although the festival was revealed, Zhang Shenxing was still a little worse than Yuchi Huan and others, and he was not so casual in toasting.

"Thank you, Brother Zhang, for your good words." Xu Qilin raised his glass and drank it all, and said with a smile: "I like to wander around, watch the mountains and rivers, and appreciate the scenery of various places. If Brother Zhang is lonely, you can go to Ganzhou to have fun, so that you can enjoy it."

"If you have a job in the capital, it's very difficult to get away." Zhang Shenxing said with a smile: "Qi Lin is very comfortable, and I'm very envious."

Xu Qilin said: "Qianniu has age requirements. In another year or two, Brother Zhang will have another position. You might as well consider going to Hexi, the court attaches great importance to it."

"Okay, okay." Zhang Shenxing nodded repeatedly and said, "Qi Lin's eyes have always admired."

As he was talking, the geek and musician came in and began to play music and dance to cheer him up.

Everyone became more and more excited, regardless of whether they were disturbing their performances or not, they talked and laughed, and they were so enthusiastic when they were drunk.

These guys are really immature! While Xu Qilin sighed, he also felt helpless about his young man's body.

…………………

When it comes to work efficiency, Dayingku is still very high.

Just three or four days after the work was arranged, the transportation team recruited from the capital had already set off and transported the first batch of supplies to Hexi.

This batch of materials is mainly made of iron tools, agricultural tools, and is the most basic tool for development and construction. They are all made by Xin'an's iron factory and have excellent quality.

The second batch was the craftsmen sent by Dayingku, and the number of refugees recruited was not too large, with a total of more than 200 people.

Departing in stages and batches will not make it difficult to handle the residences along the way, and it is also a order of decisions based on the priorities of the matter.

Xu Qilin was not like some officials. He first went to the place and then asked the court for instructions and asked for things. He wanted to strive to be basically in place for people, money and property, and nothing was needed, and he was left to roll up his sleeves and work hard.

Otherwise, according to the ancient transportation and communication levels, a report came and went, and then transferred it, would be wasted almost half a year.

Xu Qilin has calculated clearly what is needed and how much is needed. Even if there are some omissions, it will not affect the overall situation of development and construction.

And the more prepared he is, the more he is so generous, the more he shows his enthusiasm to work hard. With such a spirit and such a big disturbance, how could His Majesty Li Er not know, and how could he not be happy?

After all the work was arranged, Xu Qilin rushed to the palace and said goodbye to His Majesty Li Er, and also reported on the progress of the work in the past few days.

After listening to Xu Qilin's report, His Majesty Li Er had nothing to do with anything else, but he didn't understand the fundraising very well.

Although Dayingku can't make so much money at once, there is no way to spend so much money in the early stages of development and construction?

"Your Majesty, this money is not raised by the empress, it is just rotten at home, either lending or squandering." Xu Qilin explained His Majesty Li Er's question, "If you get a generous return in Hexi, what will happen to these investors? You will probably increase your investment, right?"

His Majesty Li Er thought for a while and nodded, "Although the court clearly ordered officials not to do business, I also know that many ministers have participated in commerce through other means. As for lending, it should be very common."

Xu Qilin said: "Weichen said that the loan is stable and the income is not low. Not only did the ministers do this, but even the temples operate this way. However, the interest rate of the temple lending is low and the term is long, which has won a lot of praise."

When His Majesty Li Er heard Xu Qilin mention the monk again, he couldn't help but pursed his lips, guessing whether this kid had come up with some bad tricks.

Xu Qilin continued: "I am wondering why the court does not lend money? Collecting interest and making money is one aspect, providing convenience for merchants and the people, solving difficulties, and getting praise. Isn't it the best of both worlds?"

His Majesty Li Er frowned and said, "Wang Mang reorganized, seems to have such measures?"

The so-called time travel is often found in later novels and TV series. Although this is all fictional, it cannot exist or happen.

But there was a suspected time traveler who not only became emperor, but also openly promoted his ideas and ideas. He was Wang Mang, who had been criticized for more than a thousand years, and it was not until modern times that someone criticized him for his rebellion.

Wang Mang was not a traitor, but a very talented person. Judging from the policies he implemented, he was also very similar to a noble person who was selfless and noble, seeking benefits for the working people and reducing the gap between the rich and the poor.

In his reform measures, first, it emphasized equality for everyone and prohibited the sale of slaves and servants; then it was state-owned land, commercial monopoly, government regulation, etc.

It sounds familiar. It is entirely the means and policies adopted by later generations. However, the innovation was too much, far exceeding the concepts at that time, which made it difficult for many people at that time to accept it. This is also the main reason for his failure.

It is exactly the famous saying: A genius is a step ahead, and a madman is a step ahead. It is very appropriate to describe Wang Mang.

The government helps the people through loans is also one of Wang Mang's new policy. But the specific regulation is that people can only borrow money from the government and get interest-free loans because they lack money for funerals at home.

Xu Qilin knew that Wang Mang had a bad reputation, so he did not dare to make a suggestion directly. Instead, he turned to the common fact of lending in society, and then moved forward step by step to achieve his goal.

When Xu Qilin heard His Majesty Li Er mention Wang Mang, he was calm and calmly said: "I don't know what new policy Wang Mang has, but he just uses things to discuss things."

"In terms of lending, it can help merchants to solve financial difficulties and the interest rate can be higher; small loans can be provided to farmers, which can be used for production and urgent needs. For example, if you buy seeds and farm tools, or even plowing oxen, the interest rate can be very low, or it does not need to be demonstrated, showing the court's love for the people."

"Weichen wants to start a pilot project first, borrow money for immigrants without collecting interest, help them settle down as soon as possible, and start production and construction." Xu Qilin said: "Then, depending on the specific situation, gradually expand the loan targets, increase production or promote trade, the benefits should outweigh the disadvantages."

His Majesty Li Er stretched his eyebrows and thought it was pretty good. After all, some government officials have done this in the local area. For example, the seeds lent to poor farmers during spring plowing and returned in autumn, which is very similar to Xu Qilin's description.

"This policy does not need to be promulgated by the court for the time being. It is implemented first in Ganzhou, and you must be cautious." His Majesty Li Er finally made a decision and reminded Xu Qilin.
