I'm quite busy recently, so I'm keeping the first update for the time being. Sorry, and I'll resume two updates soon. Thank you for your continued support.

***************************************************************************************

Xu Qilin had a rough idea in his mind. When he heard the intention of expedition to Gaochang, he also fully understood the entire intention of His Majesty Li Er to give "Guanzi".

Among them, although there is some appreciation for the real estate development, there are still some expectations behind it. But can I really solve the huge pressure on money, grain and materials?

Xu Qilin also understood His Majesty Li Er's mood very much. He really had wars a lot and the people were burdened with great burden.

You should know that during the Wude period, the war continued, mainly to cut off internal separatism and unify the country.

Since the first year of Zhenguan, the Tang Dynasty has not stopped and has turned to foreign wars, fighting against the East and West Turks, attacking Dangxiang Qiang, attacking Tuyuhun, rebellion among the Liao people, and fighting against Songzhou in Tubo, almost all year round.

In the farming era, the consumption of war was extremely amazing. For example, the attack on the Huns in the north of Han Wuhu not only spent all the money and food accumulated by the second generation of grandpa and father, but also "wasted the country and reduced the household registration by half."

Taking food and grass as an example, if tens of thousands of troops are dispatched, there must be a small number of people who are equal or even several times the number of people behind it. A distance of thousands of miles and water and land transportation is almost half-consuming, while land transportation is 37 or 28, while mountain transportation is even more consumed, even reaching 90%.

Of course, wars are also captured, but they can’t make ends meet and can’t afford to consume.

Therefore, during the Zhenguan period, the population did not increase significantly. The lives of the people were stable, but the burden was still heavy, and it was still far from living a good life.

Despite this, from Xu Qilin's perspective, this war still has to be fought. How can one achieve peace and stability without spending money? If you don't accept it, you will beat it until you are obedient, how proud it is?

As for the people's livelihood in the Yonghui period mentioned in history that the historical books is better than that in Zhenguan, isn't it the credit of Li Zhi's father?

The Eastern Turks were destroyed, Xueyantuo was finished, the Western Turks, and Goguryeo were destroyed, and most of the surrounding small countries surrendered. The people's livelihood was well done, so how could they leave such a general environment?

In short, in short, in the current Tang Dynasty, His Majesty Li Er is very short of money. Not to mention anything else, the Daming Palace is still unfinished on the Dragon Shouyuan!

"Looking at the court, who can both advise and discuss political affairs and make profits by doing business, except Qi Lin?" Ma Dami looked at Xu Qilin with anticipation, "If you can not only expedition to Gaochang, but also show your majesty's kindness and do not increase taxes to the people, Qi Lin will make great contributions and be granted real titles. Or you can also be promoted and rewarded."

Xu Qilin smiled and understood completely.

Why is I unique? I am the best at making money among officials and the highest rank among businessmen. It’s very awesome, a cross-border superstar!

Moreover, even if you can't think of a solution, it is imperative to go to Gaochang. At worst, repeat the original history and the burden on the people is heavier. It is not a shocking thing to not recover the economy of several counties in a few years.

His Majesty Li Er also had this idea. Although he had expectations, he did not rely on it.

Well, if you don’t show up at this time, when will you show up?

What's more, I already have a back-up. Now, I don't have to complete all the projects in the east and west of the city. As long as the pre-sale is achieved, the funds for the projects on both sides can be raised, and I can make suggestions!

"According to Brother Ma's judgment, when will the expedition to Gaochang be held?" Xu Qilin did not immediately give Ma Dami an accurate answer, but asked cautiously.

Ma Zhou pondered for a moment and said, "At least it will be in a year!"

Xu Qilin nodded and said, "Brother Ma has already recorded all the good words. Is there any way to do it? I still have to wait for someone to think about it."

There must be a solution, but it must be poured out one after another. The whole waterfall should not flood Li Erjun and ministers.

Besides, if something goes wrong, there will be a demon. If a person is abnormal, there will be a knife. If a lot of methods are made, how can you explain it clearly?

Oh, it’s awesome. If you say that, it would be strange if His Majesty Li Er doesn’t kill you.

So, you have to try to make it natural. You often mention the false master, and you can get a vaccination in advance. There is a reason to explain. If you don’t believe it, it’s your problem!

In addition, Xu Qilin often borrowed a few books from the palace through Xiao Zhao. In fact, he didn't read them, just to lay the foundation for it more natural and reasonable.

Seeing that Xu Qilin did not show any embarrassment, Ma Zhou knew that this boy was just like what His Majesty Li Er said that he would not get up early without profit.

In response, he no longer urged him, expressed his gratitude and appreciation for Xu Qilin's ability to build a library when building a house. He also said with emotion: "If it weren't for the financial tension, the money from selling the house would be like building a larger library in the city, right?"

Ma Dami was very impressed by the fact that he was thinking about seeking benefits for poor students.

He laughed and filled Ma Da with tea and said, "Brother Ma, don't be in a hurry. I have already made a preliminary business plan. As long as Your Majesty allows you, let alone Chang'an City, even in this whole world, there will be more than a thousand libraries at once."

"How much money will it cost?" Ma Zhou was shocked and looked at Xu Qilin in disbelief.

Xu Qilin shook his head and said, "No need to spend money, you may make money! Well, wait until a certain family has written the charter and the house is pre-sale successful, and then report to His Majesty."

Ma Zhou blinked his eyes, reached out to pat Xu Qilin on the shoulder, and smiled and said, "You can just call someone a certain word, so you can look close. Let me reveal one or two, so I can also say something in front of His Majesty, so I can just make the right report as soon as possible!"

Xu Qilin scratched his head, approached Ma Dami, and whispered: "I have an immature idea, but it should be feasible. The specific regulations are like this..."

Ma Zhouba listened to the slightly chin head, and the smile on his face became more and more refreshing. After listening to Xu Qilin's speech, he couldn't help but laugh and praised him repeatedly: "Taking one by one, Qi Lin is so smart. Okay, this memorial is submitted, and I will definitely make every effort to implement it as soon as possible."

Xu Qilin also felt that he had done something great and smiled and said, "After writing the charter, I may have omissions. I have to discuss it carefully with Brother Bin Wang first and then make the corrections before it can be corrected."

"This is a blessing for someone." Ma Dami picked up the tea bowl and signaled it, as if to express his gratitude, and then he just savored the tea and said some gossip.

…………………

It was already night, there was no wind, but the room was cool and pleasant. There were waves of insects outside, and sometimes unknown birds would sing a few times.

Under the candle, Xu Qilin wrote quickly, thinking like a spring, not seeking literary talent, as long as writing in detail.
Chapter completed!
