At the same time, His Majesty Li Er also told Xu Qilin that he had his own opinions on the third-level religion and would be clear about it after he returned to Beijing, and Xu Qilin did not have to worry about the cost of the canal reform.

Okay, I'm the first to give you a shot, it's a preparation for public opinion, and it's also an investigation and research. In the end, I have to leave you with a decisive decree. I really cast a net to catch fish. Any good thing belongs to your family, and all good reputations are given to you.

It was useless for Xu Qilin to complain in his heart, so he had to make arrangements quickly and set off for Luoyang in advance.

For this reason, Xu Qilin reported to His Majesty Li Er, asking the dispatching branch to cooperate with the officials familiar with the canal transportation, and asked the dispatching masters of the Ministry of Works to build warehouses and open roads.

After walking the entire route of the canal transportation, Xu Qilin didn't want to be so tired, but just wanted to concentrate on Sanmenxia to solve this biggest problem.

As for the other four major voyages, Xu Qilin had to send officials to conduct on-site inspections, select the location where the granary was set up, calculate the specific freight rates, as well as the number and regulations of the required ships.

The so-called four major voyages are from the Yangtze River to Yangzhou, from Bianqu to Heyin, from the Yellow River to Weikou, and from the Wei River to Chang'an.

To be more accurate, it can also be divided into six sections. That is, the large section from the Yellow River to Weikou can be divided into two sections of water routes in the east and west of Sanmenxia, ​​as well as land routes that avoid the dangers of the pillars.

In ancient times, without cars, trains and water transportation was the fastest and most cost-effective way of transportation, while by land was the most time-consuming, labor-intensive and expensive.

Therefore, although the hundreds of miles of land routes from Luoyang to Shanzhou were smooth, the water transport in the Tang Dynasty had to be unable to get along with the pillars of Sanmenxia. Even if "the annual water transport is almost half of the water transport", he did not give up.

In the evil feudal society, no matter how many boatmen died, the boatmen were nothing. They were all recruited servants, with little wages and no generous pensions.

Think about Liu Yan, a famous prime minister during the Tang Dynasty, who replaced the boatmen with a strong rope during the reform of the Cao government and saved the lives of countless boatmen. It can be seen that the feudal court and those officials took the life and death of the common people seriously?

Xu Qilin was busy with official business. When he saw a ragdoll in the soft chair rising out of thin air, he knew that it was Xiaoye who was out to play.

He pursed his lips slightly, and Xu Qilin didn't say anything, and continued to complete the rest of the work.

Xiaoye showed up, played with the doll for a while, then came to Xu Qilin and lay mischievously on the table to watch Xu Qilin.

"Where is your sister?" Xu Qilin stretched out his brush and wanted to draw on Xiaoye's face. Seeing that she was avoiding, he asked with a smile.

Xiaoye curled his mouth, seemed to be a little dissatisfied with his sister, and said, "I'm still asleep!"

Xu Qilin rolled his eyes and said, "What a drunkard. It's a trick to have such a sister on the street!"

Xiaoye lowered his head and fiddled with the doll, but he didn't say anything, but he also agreed to his helplessness.

Xu Qilin finally finished writing, put down the paper and pen, and began to clean up and organize.

"You haven't asked for that streamer to come over yet?" Xiaoye looked up and said, "It's good for you, I really didn't lie to you."

Xu Qilin laughed and put the documents into the wooden board, saying, "It's so embarrassing. I've figured out a solution to make the little chess beg me for the flowing beads."

"Really?" Xiaoye widened his eyes, turned to frowned his little nose, and said, "Brave."

Xu Qilin smiled and said, "You don't believe it, then let's make a bet?"

"Betting?" Xiaoye hesitated for a moment and asked, "What are you betting on? You can explain it clearly first."

Xu Qilin thought for a while and said, "If you lose, tell me the benefits of Liuzhu; if I lose, how about I treat you to ice cream?"

Xiaoye bit his finger and thought for a while, and said, "Okay, that's it."

Xu Qilin stretched out his palm and smiled and said, "If you hit the high, no one is allowed to cheat."

Xiaoye smiled, stretched out his little hand and slapped his big hand heavily, and said, "Whoever depends on him is a puppy."

Xu Qilin laughed and reached out to touch the little ghost's head. At this moment, Scarlett's voice sounded outside the door. Xiaoye immediately jumped down, threw the doll on the chair, and suddenly disappeared.

Shrugging his shoulders, Xu Qilin stood up and opened the door. Scarlett carried the elephant account book, and Ajiani walked in with a joking and laughing.

…………………

The countdown has already entered the countdown when leaving for Luoyang. Xu Qilin not only has to be busy with official business, but also has a lot of private matters to be arranged clearly.

He entrusted the dance hall with the sound wall and the sound amplification effect of the earth speaker to producer Li Chunfeng. Li Chunfeng was very interested in the reflection of the sound waves and the expansion of the sound. He asked for advice and happily accepted the commission.

Xu Qilin doesn't have to worry too much about the operation of his own shop. But if he is not here, he is worried that some powerful people will cause trouble.

Li Sipang had already left Chang'an and went to Luoyang, so Xu Qilin had to turn his attention to Princess Changle and Changsun Chong.

This is to give you fragrant dew, calligraphy, and smoking, just to make a good relationship. If you are not here, if you have trouble, you can ask for help.

Of course, Xiao Zhao can also enter the palace and ask his sister for help, and even Jinyang and Xincheng will also provide help.

"No problem, we are still getting married. If you have any trouble, come to me." Changsun Chong agreed very happily, but looking at his expression, it seemed that he had something to say.

It is true to get married. If we are judging by seniority, Li Lizhi and Changsun Chong would have to call Xu Qilin the uncle. Who called her father Li Er? He has made so many concubines! Of course, the royal family is messy, and there is no such thing.

Xu Qilin took the initiative to say, "Changsun Zongzheng, I have been there for several months. If there is any urgent matter, I can send the letters directly to the Xu Mansion, and someone will deliver them to someone."

Changsun cried out and said, "After Qi Lin said this, I really have something to ask about."

"Brother Changchong just say it." Xu Qilin also changed his name, which made him look so close.

Changsun nodded and said, "The story of "A Chinese Ghost Story" is really vivid and fascinating. This author's "Lingxi Yizhi" is a talented person. I wonder if it is convenient for someone to introduce it?"

Xu Qilin blinked and suddenly laughed: "Brother Changsun wants to see 'Lingxi Yizi'? I'm afraid--"

Changsun Chong's heart broke out and hurriedly said, "What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that someone will reveal his real name?"

Xu Qilin waved his hand, smiled and pointed to his nose, and said, "I don't want the story that I made up casually, so I valued it by Brother Changsun."

Changsun Chong widened his eyes in shock and stared at Xu Qilin.

Xu Qilin took the cup leisurely and drank a sip of tea, and smiled and said, "That's right, 'Lingxi Yi Finger' is something, and 'Lingxi Yi Finger' is something."

Changsun slapped his thigh, laughed, and after a while he stopped laughing, he pointed at Xu Qilin and said, "It turned out to be made up by Qi Lin. It was unexpected, but it was reasonable."

"What do you say?" Xu Qilin was a little confused.

Changsun Chong reached out and patted Xu Qilin on the shoulder, and smiled and said, "Your Highness the Princess has long learned from Yizi that you are a master of making up stories. You have also heard Yizi tell the story of the Three Kingdoms, and I also like it very much..."

This is not a blind connection, it’s a bit far-fetched!

Xu Qilin knew that Changsun Chong intended to praise him, but he didn't argue, so he just smiled and nodded.

Changsun rushed over and asked in a low voice: "Qi Lin is going to Luoyang soon. Isn't this "A Chinese Ghost Story" meant--"

Is it a no-one? I'm not that kind of person.

Xu Qilin also guessed what Changsun Chong meant and said, "There are two more issues that will end, and I have already finished writing them all. If Brother Changsun Chong is anxious to read, I will ask someone to copy them and send them to the mansion?"

Changsun Chong hesitated for a moment, feeling that it would be better to take it back and offer it to his beloved wife directly, so he smiled and said, "Why not copy it down, it won't take long?"

So impatient? I'm afraid I was forced by my princess' wife!

Xu Qilin was not embarrassed to ask Changsun Chong to copy it in person, so he hurriedly asked someone to invite two trolls from the Minsheng Daily. Oh, two editors came to copy it, and just let Changsun Chong wait.

"Qi Lin is busy with affairs, so you don't have to accompany me, just do it yourself." Changsun Chong felt what he wanted, and he was happy, and he didn't have to accompany Xu Qilin.

As soon as Xu Qilin and other editors of the copying book arrived, they accused them of guilt and asked the two to accompany each other, and then went to the office of Dayingku to arrange other things.

In the report, Xu Qilin cried poorly, but he didn't have to wait for the money he should spend to transfer. He not only sent people to buy saltpeter and sulfur in Chang'an, but also wrote to Li Sipang, asking him to prepare supplies in Luoyang.

In order to complete the canal transportation reform as soon as possible, especially to overcome the biggest difficulty of Sanmenxia, ​​Xu Qilin had a plan to launch black gunpowder and open mountains and explode rocks.

It is said that black gunpowder has little power, but it is relatively speaking. You should know that the era of using black gunpowder as a weapon lasted for more than 600 years, and the number of people killed and injured under black gunpowder was very huge.

When used for mining and rock blasting, the efficiency of black gunpowder is definitely much higher than that of human digging. To bypass the dangers of the pillars, it is essential to dig mountains and stones.

Back at Dayingku, Xu Qilin immediately summoned officials sent from the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Works to hold a meeting to arrange work.

At the meeting, Xu Qilin issued relevant documents on the reform of the canal transport and explained the purpose of replacing the direct transport method step by step.

After some discussion and consultation, Xu Qilin sent the dispatched officials to various places according to the planned shipping segments to conduct investigations and research, and sorted out relevant data.

Using segmented transportation will certainly reduce waste and expenses and improve shipping efficiency. But can the ships, river engineers, required for each voyage, undertake the transportation task of not using Jiangnan ships?

If you can't, you have to build a ship and recruit people. Otherwise, after the Jiangnan ships transported their own section, the grain was stored in the warehouse, but the intermediate section was not enough to be transported, so it would be better to let the Jiangnan ships wait and take a little longer!

"There are official documents issued by the court here. Officials who go to various places can ask local governments for assistance, but they will never be allowed to harass the local government." Xu Qilin's face turned serious and said, "The reform of the grain government is a major event that benefits the country and the people. Who dares to use this to corruption and harm the people, severely punish them and never tolerate them."

Although the political atmosphere in the early Tang Dynasty was relatively clean, it was not completely free of scum. Xu Qilin was still necessary to beat him first.

After eased his tone slightly, Xu Qilin continued: "If the reform of the Cao Government is successful, you will be a meritorious minister. The Zhouji Office is established again, or the Office and the Department will be the priority."

In the sixth year of Zhenguan, the court set up a "Zhuoji Office" to manage the grain management, and later abolished the unified branch of the Ministry of Reunion. By the middle Tang Dynasty, grain transportation became the national vein. The court ordered the prime minister and the transfer envoy to be in charge of grain transportation.

Xu Qilin's meaning is very clear. The status of the canal transportation will rise, and it is very likely to set up another yamen. If you work hard, you can hold an official position in the new yamen.

Slap it and give it a sweet date. Everyone understands this, but it really works.

When reputation is more important than profit, most officials can be honest and self-disciplined and value promotion; but when profit is more important than reputation, there are inevitably corruption.

Seeing that everyone was obedient, Xu Qilin knew that someone was just accepting it on the surface and could only examine and select it from actual work.

Regarding the strategic deployment of the Northwest and the stability of Guanzhong, His Majesty Li Er stared at him. He probably wouldn't have to take action if he wanted to commit suicide.

After the meeting, Xu Qilin summoned Wen Ren and other left-behind officials to explain the operation and development of Dayingku.

Needless to say, white sugar and rock sugar have steadily increased their output and the market has gradually expanded, which has become the stable income of Dayingku; wool textile and leather processing will usher in a period of prosperous sales due to the gradually cold weather.

"After the autumn of the glove samples are submitted to His Majesty, they will most likely be purchased by the court as military supplies." Xu Qilin looked through the workshop's statistical reports and said confidently: "So, the output will increase, and there is no need to worry about how much it is stored in the warehouse. Even if it is put into the market, it will definitely be a prosperous product in winter."

Wen Ren nodded in agreement and said, "The same is true for wool spinning products. The wool purchased from Ye Guhun has been shipped, and raw materials will be shipped one after another. The subordinates think that they can continue to expand production."

Xu Qilin thought for a while and said, "Then let me come forward and ask for some servants from the Yeting Palace. How many more people do you think do you need to add?"

Wen Ren had already calculated and said, "Two hundred people should be enough. In addition to the production and packaging of candy, it is also necessary to increase forty or fifty people."

Xu Qilin nodded and said, "Then there are 260 people, more than less." After pausing, he continued, "Remember to collect the cotton in the imperial garden, and then spun them all into cloth and store them in the warehouse."

"Xu Cheng, are those cottons a little too little?" The little official named Liu Zongjing asked in confusion: "Even if they are spun into cloth, they can only be used as samples, right?"

"It's the sample," said Xu Qilin. "But within two years, cotton will be planted on a large scale and become an important textile raw material. It is not surprising that even silk and wool are surpassed."

"So that's it." Liu Zongjing bowed, "I understand."

I understand what I have, I haven’t even had a single stroke of my horoscope! If I want to get a lot of cotton seeds, I have to destroy Gaochang and collect it from the Western Regions.

Xu Qilin felt that it was not too easy to get permission from the court to carry out large-scale planting.

Food is the most important thing for people, and the cultivation of grain is the most important thing. There will definitely be restrictions on the planting area of ​​cash crops, just like watermelons are not allowed to be planted by ordinary people.
