When Jinyang and Xincheng got the news, they rushed to Bingxia Palace to get gifts and looked at the little baby, Xiao Ye'er had already left her mother's arms and was sitting in the walker and playing with Xu Hui and Xiao Zhao.

"Hey, what strange thing is this?" Xincheng immediately transferred his interest in the little doll to the walker, and opened his eyes wide and looked around the walker.

Weizi was also very fresh and curious, but after two or three years of age, she was no longer as naive as before. She just took a few more glances and said to Xiao Zhao: "Is this a new toy made by Xu Cheng?"

Xiao Zhao nodded and said with a smile: "This is called a walker, it is for children. We can all run away, so we still need to learn to walk?"

Xincheng giggled twice and said, "Haha." As she said that, she turned her eyes to the little doll in the car and giggled again, "Look at it, the little doll is chubby, so cute."

Weizi was also cute by this pink little girl. She leaned over and took a closer look. She smiled even more happily with Xiao Ye'er.

"She smiled, the little baby smiled." Xincheng grinned, and was more happy than Xiao Ye'er. He stretched out his fingers and gently tapped Xiao Ye'er's face.

Xiao Zhao explained, "She is Xiao Ye'er, and she calls me and my sister aunt."

Yizi pursed the corner of her lips and said with some regret: "Xincheng and I are both aunts, but we have never seen our nephews or nieces."

Xincheng sighed like a little adult, turned his head and saw the cage in the hall, his face filled with smiles, and said, "Is this a gift for us?"

Xiao Zhao said: "There are labels on it, two princesses each have a box and a cage."

Weizi said, "Let the palace servants send it over, Xincheng and I will play here for a while." As she said that, she turned her eyes to Xiao Yeer who was slutty.

Xu Hui pulled Chen Mengwei to sit on the couch, talking intimately, looking at Xiao Ye'er from time to time, and smiled: "The small car that Qi Lin has made is really good. Children can save adults a lot of worry when playing in it."

Chen Mengwei smiled and nodded, saying, "Xiao Ye'er also likes it very much. I used to think about how to teach her how to walk. Now it seems that she can learn it by herself."

"The Xu family has a queen." Xu Hui said with emotion: "Xiao Yeer is also a nice name, and it has branches and leaves, the more the better."

Chen Mengwei said with some regret: "It's a pity that she is a girl."

"What's wrong with the girl?" Xu Hui smiled and said, "Besides, the days will be long in the future! The Xu family is counting on you and Qi Lian. Qi Lin is not in tune with it."

Chen Mengwei pursed her lips shyly, and Xiao Ye'er moved towards her mother and reached out to her little hand and shouted. She took the opportunity to get up to meet her, carried Xiao Ye'er out of the car, and relieved her embarrassment.

The child was taken out and the new city was calm. Before the palace servant took the cage away, he ran over to check it.

Xu Hui looked at Xiao Ye'er in Chen Mengwei's arms, smiled and stretched out her hand, and said, "I wonder if Xiao Ye'er let me hug her?"

Chen Mengwei quickly handed the child over, but before Xiao Ye'er could react, she had already reached Xu Hui's hands.

The little kid blinked his eyes and looked at it. He was attracted by the bead chains on Xu Hui's neck. He stretched out his hand to grab it, and his mouth made an unknown babbling sound.

Xu Hui laughed and hugged the little kid, letting her grab the bead chain to play. She pinched Xiao Ye'er's arms and legs, and touched her little face, which was so rare.

As soon as the curtain was lifted, His Majesty Li Er stepped into the hall. He was the only one who did not report it, and the palace servants of Bingxia Palace were used to not reporting it.

The Silky and Xincheng are like two magnets, and they will most likely attract His Majesty Li Er, a madman who is pampered by the female.

"I have seen Your Majesty."

"I have seen Your Majesty."

Xu Hui held the little kid and gave a slight salute, while Chen Mengwei paid a visit on the big week.

"No gift." His Majesty Li Er's eyes flashed. He knew that Xiao Zhao had entered the palace, but he did not expect that there were other female relatives.

Xu Hui laughed and asked His Majesty to see the little baby in his arms, saying, "Your Majesty, I am an aunt. This is my niece Xiao Ye'er."

Xiao Ye'er just glanced at the bearded man, but didn't hang the supreme emperor. She saw Xu Hui's earrings, which were very fun to sway, and she reached out to try to get it.

His Majesty Li Er then remembered that this was Xu Qiqiu's wife. She had seen her in the palace a few years ago. Looking at the pink little girl, he laughed and said, "Qi Qiqiu has returned to Beijing. After several years, he has already had descendants. It's a joyful congratulations."

"Your Majesty, my second brother was back last night." Xiao Zhao gave a simple bow and said with a smile.

Oh, His Majesty Li Er raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Qi Lin is back too, the family is reunited, and it's another joy."

Xu Hui held the little kid, Chen Mengwei stood up solemnly, and His Majesty Li Er felt that it was wrong to come.

Xiao Zhao was smart and knew that his sister wanted to stay with his sister-in-law. His niece stayed for a while longer, and then said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Highness Jinyang is about to take this box of cage back to the palace, and he also invited me to play. You can go together, let's see the novel objects my second brother gave to His Highness the princess."

His Majesty Li Er immediately understood it and nodded and smiled, "I really want to see the items given by Qi Lin."

As he said that, he turned to Xu Hui and said, "I met again after a long time ago. My beloved concubine talked more to my sister-in-law and got closer to this little niece. Have lunch together. It would not be too late before dark."

Xiao Zhao had already called the palace servants to carry the box, while Yizi and Xincheng came over to hold their father's hand, and walked out of the palace gate together amid the respectful voices of Xu Hui and Chen Mengwei.

"Xiao Zhao is a clever one." Xu Hui signaled Chen Mengwei to sit down, fiddling with Xiao Ye'er's small hands, and said, "The palace is very rules, and it is not easy to meet a relative."

Chen Mengwei hurriedly said, "Empress Chongrong is very favored. If you want to ask for an order, your Majesty will agree. Besides, Xiao Zhao often enters the palace and the news comes diligently."

Xu Hui smiled and said nothing else. Seeing that Xiao Ye'er was draining from the water, she took a towel and wiped it carefully.

Xiao Ye'er struggled to find her mother, Chen Mengwei reached out to take it, coaxed her in her arms, and whispered to Xu Hui.

"Qi Lin grew up in a blink of an eye, and it was not as convenient as before when he walked in the palace." Xu Hui said: "Fortunately, he is the Chief of Daying Kukuku, and he is considered an internal minister. Your Majesty is quite trustworthy, but it doesn't have much impact."

Chen Mengwei nodded and said, "My uncle convened an official meeting today and may enter the palace tomorrow."

Xu Hui took the juice brought by the palace maid, stirred it gently with a small spoon, and fed it to Xiao Ye'er with a smile, "Qi Lin is also a clever person, and he has guidance from Xianxian Lu Yu. His Majesty's thoughts, he can guess most of the time, and he can always get the best."

Chen Mengwei nodded and said, "Qi Qi Lun's mind is simple, and he may not be as comfortable as his uncle in the officialdom."

Xu Hui pondered for a moment and said, "If Qi Qi is not sure, ask Qi Lin, his brothers, there is no need to pay attention to the size and size. Officialdom is only one, so be careful when making friends."

Even if he was not very clear about the undercurrents in the capital, through His Majesty Li Er's performance and his letters to Xu Qilin, Xu Hui knew that it was a turbulent time now.

But she couldn't explain such a thing too thoroughly in the palace. As long as Chen Mengwei understood, she would tell Xu Qiqi. With Xu Qilin's advice, it would be more appropriate and safer.

Oh, uh, drink. After Xiao Ye'er finished a sip of juice, Xu Hui and Chen Mengwei were just talking, and Xiao Wa opened her mouth and made a urge to make a sound, and her little hand was still pointing.

Xu Hui was so amused that she hurriedly took a spoon and fed it again.

……………………

At this time, Xu Qilin was checking the production of combed wool in the workshop of Dayingku.

From coarse spinning to semi-combed wool spinning, and then to combed, the Dayingku Workshop in Chang'an is taking a different path of industrial development than Ganzhou.

As of now, cotton is almost grown in Gansu and Su Prefectures, as well as the newly included Xizhou. Ganzhou Workshop takes advantage of the advantages of the land and vigorously develops cotton spinning.

Woolen is an old project of Chang'an weaving workshop. Woolen purchased from all over the country is concentrated here, supporting wool to become a pillar industry.

When it comes to Hebei Road and Henan Road promote cotton planting, Xu Qilin will not set up a cotton spinning workshop in Chang'an due to transportation.

Cotton and wool spinning have their own advantages. The combed wool yarn has the advantages of smooth surface, elasticity, and good strength. The woven fabric is higher than that of cotton cloth in price.

After the inspection, Xu Qilin was still basically satisfied. In particular, the sales of worsted woolen woolen on the market were good, which made him even happier.

Of course, there are also cotton spinning workshops in Chang'an, which are small in scale, mainly to cultivate talents, improve machinery, and prepare for large-scale cotton planting.

But in the following meeting, there were problems raised by officials, which made Xu Qilin think.

"The acquisition price of wool has been stable in recent years, but this year it has increased slightly, which has caused the woven fabric to increase the price..."

The rise in wool prices shows that raw materials are in short supply. Will there be a tragedy of sheep eating people? Xu Qilin thought for a while and denied it completely.

The farmland turned into a pasture, and the court would not allow it, and it was impossible in the Tang Dynasty. As for farmers raising a few sheep, it was just a small side job, just like raising chickens and pigs, and it would not affect the main business of farming.

As for Tuyuhun, Li Simo, and other pastoral areas, how many sheep they raise is on the grassland, and it is impossible to embezzle the fields of the people of the Tang Dynasty.

Moreover, there may be other factors for price increase. For example, the foot-strength money for transportation, workshop improvements to machines lead to a significant increase in production efficiency, strong demand for raw materials, or wool suppliers raise prices...

Based on the information at hand, Xu Qilin was not able to make a judgment, so he asked the officials to prepare more detailed information. He was also planning to write to Li Simo to inquire about the specific situation.

After taking office in Ganzhou, Xu Qilin maintained a communication with Li Simo. He knew that Li Simo had firmly grasped the economic lifeline of various tribes through the cooperation of Dayingku.

You see, wool must be purchased through Li Simo, and the Dayingku that is sold separately is not allowed; as payment for purchases of wool, property, or daily necessities, they are also handed over to Li Simo to distribute to various tribes.

Through this monopoly, any tribe who dares to refuse to accept will lose its source of income and even lose its supply of food and daily necessities.

This cooperation was agreed upon by His Majesty Li Er. In order to allow the loyal dog Li Simo to convince the crowd and lead the Eastern Turks to resist Xue Yantuo.

Li Simo had led the crowd across the river to return to his hometown, and built Yating in the old Dingxiang City (now Helinger, Inner Mongolia), gradually consolidated his dominance.

This was beneficial to the Tang Dynasty. His Majesty Li Er's strategic vision was also achieved, with a buffer zone with Xue Yantuo.

On the other hand, Li Simo controlled the income and material distribution of the tribes below, and Dayingku also controlled Li Simo.

Once Dayingku no longer buys wool from Li Simo or cuts off its supplies, Li Simo's prestige will plummet. Will the tribe below still obey him?

Xu Qilin was not the first to control it with economic means. The Central Plains dynasty's material blockade of nomadic tribes has long become a powerful weapon.

Next, Chen Jingxuan reported on the progress of discussing with the Ministry of Revenue to formulate the management regulations for money houses. It seemed to be quite smooth, but there were still questions that were unresolved.

Xu Qilin wrote down one by one and did not respond immediately. Because he heard that these problems were easy to solve on a technical level, but it seemed to involve the interests of some people and needed a deeper consideration.

As for Xin'an Industrial Base, there have also been bottlenecks in the manufacturing of glass and steel, and no technological breakthrough has been made for a long time.

Regarding these technical difficulties, Xu Qilin felt that remote control and remote guidance were not enough to solve them, so he had decided to go to Xin'an soon.

The sugar-making workshop in Dayingku has been moved to Luoyang for two years. It is very convenient to transport raw materials and sell products.

The sales of mirrors have entered a stable period, but after the victory in the conquest of Gaochang, it has ushered in a small peak. Needless to think, it must be the goods purchased by Hu Shang, who went to the Western Regions.

However, in recent months, the East Palace has suddenly requested a lot of mirrors from Dayingku. Xu Qilin had already received reports and told the officials to try his best to meet the needs of the East Palace.

Although I don’t know if it was Li Chengqian’s idea or the advice of his subordinates, Xu Qilin didn’t want to delve into it, and also wanted to try his best to survive this sensitive period as safely as possible.

Finally, after listening to the official's work report, it was still developing normally. Xu Qilin should be satisfied that remote control command can achieve such a situation.

After the meeting, Xu Qilin summarized and summarized it in the office so that he could enter the palace tomorrow to report his duties to His Majesty Li Er.

A very busy day passed. Xu Qilin returned home and learned that Xiao Zhao had returned home for a long time and was resting in the courtyard next to him.

Xu Qilin knew that Xiao Zhao bought a house. If he had money, he would be Huabei, and he didn't care much about it.

With a little curiosity, Xu Qilin went to the house next to him, wanting to see how his younger sister tasted and what the house was like.

After a simple walk, Xu Qilin came to the house where Xiaomei was resting, went in and talked to Xiao Zhao, but his eyes were fixed on the wall cabinet of the room.

"These strange stones..." Xu Qilin had an ominous premonition and asked tentatively: "Did you buy it?"

Xiao Zhao was a little guilty, but she was not very scared. The second brother was the one who despised him the most and would not scold him for spending money.

So, she didn't hide it and told her brother the truth about the incident.
