"Brother Qin, why don't you say hello to the miscellaneous family in advance when you go back to the capital? It's easy for the miscellaneous family to arrange someone to pick you up."

In the evening, Wei Zhongxian returned to the Wei Mansion and immediately came to the yard where Qin Mu lived. He held Qin Mu's hand and said excitedly, "It's really true that he hasn't seen Qin Mu for more than half a year. Wei Zhongxian thought about it, especially Qin Mu has greatly boosted his face in the northwest."

Nowadays, people in the court who come to me say that they have unique vision and have found a great talent for the Qin Empire who is both literary and military.

"Don't you want to surprise the factory?"

Qin Mu smiled and said, no matter how people outside evaluate Wei Zhongxian, Qin Mu was still very grateful to Wei Zhongxian. No matter what aspects, Wei Zhongxian never treated him unfairly.

"It's a surprise. If the emperor knew that you were back, he would definitely be very happy." Wei Zhongxian took Qin Mu's hand and sat down.

"I also miss the factory and the emperor after half a year of separation. You like to raise birds. This is the thrush I brought back to the factory from the northwest."

Qin Mu handed the bird cage placed beside him and said. He was most worried about what went wrong with the bird along the way. Fortunately, the northwest flower eyebrows have good adaptability, but no major problems have occurred.

"You are determined to come from the northwest and still don't forget to bring thrushes to the family."

Wei Zhongxian looked at the thrush in the cage and said with satisfaction, not knowing whether he was satisfied with the thrush or Qin Mu's attitude.

"This is what it should be. The factory is so kind to me, and it is worth it for me to respect the factory." Qin Mu said. Whether in terms of personal relationships or business affairs, Qin Mu must do this.

"I'm interested, I'm interested. Tell the Zajia about the battle to defend Tokugawa Prefecture and defeating the 100,000 cavalry of the Beihun. The Zajia just saw it in the newspaper and it was not detailed. Tell me carefully. I'll talk to the emperor tomorrow. The emperor must love to listen to this."

Wei Zhongxian said, you should know that this battle to defend Tokugawa Prefecture was a rare battle in the past ten years of the Qin Empire, which was a rare battle to defeat the more with the few and the weak with the strong. Over the past ten years, the empire has been bullied by small countries on the border and has always been defeated. This time, the empire has greatly increased the face of the empire and has saved a little of its face on the eastern and western continents.

"yes."

Qin Mu said about the process of the Tokugawa Defense War, fighting is one thing, telling stories is one thing, as Qin Mu, who had seen many "story meetings" in his previous life, of course, he knew how to talk about a boring war process, which was so wonderful that Wei Zhongxian was fascinated by listening to it.

"Okay, Brother Qin, after hearing you talk about the Tokugawa defense battle, I realized that you are so difficult. This war is not easy."

Wei Zhongxian said with emotion that this was a complete battle of blood and blood to win, especially the soldiers who died in battle mentioned in Qin Mu's mouth, which also touched Wei Zhongxian very much.

For example, some soldiers were cut by the enemy for more than ten times, and they still held the enemy tightly until they held the enemy and jumped off the ten-meter-high city wall and died with the enemy. For example, some soldiers... each one touched Wei Zhongxian.

"Yes, factory man, I originally thought I would die in Tokugawa City and I would never see you again. The victory of this battle of Tokugawa defense was entirely achieved through the heroic battle of the soldiers." Qin Mu said.

"It seems that something is wrong with you coming to Beijing this time?" Wei Zhongxian asked.

"Yes, factory, this time I went back to the capital to ask for help from the court." Qin Mu said, this was Qin Mu's main purpose for this time to come to the capital.

"Seeking help?"

Wei Zhongxian looked at Qin Mu with some confusion and asked.

"Don't you know that after the end of the Tokugawa Castle defense battle, the entire Tokugawa Castle walls were destroyed, and a large number of soldiers died bravely in this battle. Now the entire Tokugawa County army is so pitiful. If the court does not support me, I am worried that if the Huns cavalry come, the entire Tokugawa County will fall." Qin Mu said worriedly.

"What kind of support do you need?" Wei Zhongxian asked.

"Whether money is recruiting soldiers or building a city wall, it requires a lot of money." Qin Mu said.

"How much does it cost?" Wei Zhongxian asked. After all, if the number is not large, Wei Zhongxian, the factory owner of the East Factory, can decide the famous people around the emperor today.

"We have calculated that if we want to build Tokugawa County as soon as possible and prevent the re-attack of the Huns cavalry, we will need at least 80 million taels of silver."

Qin Mushi said with a big mouth, after all, this way of asking for money is no different from doing business, it is just asking for prices everywhere and paying back the money by land. This is a skill, so you can't let your bottom line leak out.

"Eighty million taels of silver, this amount is a bit too much."

Wei Zhongxian frowned and said, "After all, even the emperor cannot make the decision alone, and he has to discuss it."

"Man, Tokugawa County is really short of money now, and any construction cannot be separated from money."

Qin Mu quickly said, "You must know that Qin Mu is so confident that he can get money from the court this time. The biggest reliance is this Eunuch Wei. If he doesn't help him, he will not be able to get so much money."

"I know this, but you also know that the finances of the court are also very difficult now?" Wei Zhongxian said with some embarrassment.

"Man, what should I do? This time I come to Beijing, I can't go back empty-handed. In that case, I can't afford to lose my shame." Qin Mu said.

"Let's do this, don't rush to see the emperor. First, visit the key personnel of the neutral faction to obtain their support, and also visit Mida, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. This person is very critical."

Wei Zhongxian explained that those who can be the Minister of Revenue are not simple people. Even if Wei Zhongxian, the Dahong, appointed by Emperor Tianqi, dared not underestimate the Minister of Revenue Mida. This Mida is not only the Minister of Revenue, but also has another identity, that he is the father-in-law of the current emperor and is a serious royal relative.

"I know this." Qin Mu said.

"Also, if you raise this amount, you will say that you will need at least 90 million taels of silver." Wei Zhongxian thought for a while and said.

"What else can I ask for trouble together, so that I can say hello to our people in advance. Everyone can prepare in advance during the morning meeting."

"There is also the current Tokugawa County has a serious shortage of population. I think the court can transfer some people to me Tokugawa County."

Qin Mu said that after all, without the support of the imperial court, the immigration work is difficult to carry out. After all, the Qin Empire was very strict in the management of household registration. Ordinary people could not leave their own places of life without special circumstances. If they go out for a long trip, they would have to lead the way. Of course, refugees would say something else.

"There is no problem with this. Now the Great Qin State is full of refugees. It's not much to transfer some of them to you. This will also reduce the pressure on the court."

Wei Zhongxian said that Wei Zhongxian believed that this kind of immigration behavior was not a big deal and no one in the court would object. After all, the pressure on removing some refugees was much less. It is estimated that the department responsible for the handling of refugees would not allow Qin Mu to take all the refugees away.

"Thank you, factoryman." Qin Mu thanked sincerely.

"Why are you and I saying these polite words? It's getting late, so you'd better take a break early."

Wei Zhongxian went out after saying that. After all, Qin Mu wanted so much money, Wei Zhongxian thought about how to convince the emperor to support him. As long as the emperor supports him, most of the matter will be successful.

Qin Mu stayed in the room for a while, but couldn't stay anymore. He took the guard away and Qin Mu walked towards Yixianglou, the eight major alleys in the capital. You must know that there are two women there now.

"Young Master, please come in. You are familiar with me. I don't know if there is a girl I thought of. If not, let Ma Xu introduce you to me to ensure that the young master is satisfied."

Xu's mother said to Qin Mu, doing business in Qinglou, her eyesight is very vicious. Although Qin Mu is wearing ordinary clothes now, it is not a decoration to take away a dozen strong men. When he goes to Qinglou, he brings so many guards. This person is either rich or noble, so Xu's mother seems particularly enthusiastic. You must know that such people are the best to make money, and they are all spending money like soil.

"Is that so? I'll look for Liu Rushi and Li Xiangjun." Qin Mu said.

"Ah~~, this, this young master, this is a bit difficult. These two girls are not the girls from Yixianglou. They just stay in Yixianglou for a few days. Your request is probably..."

Speaking of this, Xu Ma looked at Qin Mu with some embarrassment and said, of course Xu Ma was still a little surprised. To know that Liu Rushi and Li Xiangjun came to the capital, few people knew that this young master actually knew. It seemed that he was really an amazing person. Xu Ma always felt that he had seen this young master there, but he just couldn't remember it for a moment.

In fact, it is not a fault for Xu Ma that he couldn't recognize Qin Mu for a while. The main reason was that when Qin Mu made a big fuss in Yixiang Tower last time, Xu Ma was afraid of Qin Mu, so he didn't look at Qin Mu for a few more times. In the past six months of the northwest trip, Qin Mu's whole personality has changed a bit, not like a scholar, but more like a martial artist.

"I know this. Just say to Miss Liu and Miss Li. An old friend named Qin is here to visit. If they don't see me, it's not your fault." Qin Mu took out a 100 taels of silver bill from his sleeve and gave it to Xu Ma and said.

"Since Mr. Qin said that, I'll try it."
