The Feng family just wanted to buy a mirror as a betrothal gift, so Xu Qilin nodded happily to agree.

Facing the sales of powerful ministers in the capital, it cannot last long, and it is estimated that in another one or two months, Xu Qilin will be basically saturated. In the past or two months, Xu Qilin regarded it as a period of hunger sales, and the dressing mirror did not leak out.

Businessmen who want to buy mirrors to make a lot of money are jealous. Even if it is a public auction, there is still a chance. Now they can only wait with their eyes.

But this is just the surface. Xu Qilin is so terrifying. He takes care of the princes and ministers with a clear price. He feels a loss when selling it like this. Therefore, the mirror was secretly transported to Yangzhou and Guangzhou, and then sold in the name of a certain merchant.

As expected, the mirrors sold in public auctions were getting higher and higher, reaching an astonishing 8,000 guan in Yangzhou, almost more than doubled.

This also made Dayingku make tens of thousands of extra chunks of money at once, and the funds became sufficient. Xu Qilin continued to withdraw money to build a didian, turning the main direction to the west, preparing for trading in the Western Regions.

You should know that although Gaochang has not been taken down, the Silk Road is not completely isolated, and there are other branches to go. However, to make commerce prosperous, order must be established in the Western Regions, and army must be stationed to control the Western Regions.

There are many small countries in the Western Regions, many armed forces and different rules, which has caused great inconvenience to the merchants walking there. There are also horse thieves and bandits, which is a threat to life.

Therefore, Xu Qilin agreed with His Majesty Li Er's attack on Gao Chang, and provided money and efforts to support him in all aspects.

Seeing that Xu Qilin agreed happily, Feng Zhidai was very happy. This gave him face and showed his energy to the Xu Jingzong family.

Seeing that it was getting late, Xu Qilin didn't say anything empty, and said bluntly that he was going to the King of Jin's mansion to have a farewell to the King of Wei.

Feng Zhidi quickly stood up and said goodbye. He had a serious business, but it was not because he had been expelled from the guests, but because he did it by chance.

Xu Qilin sent Feng Zhidai away, cleaned up for a while, then took two servants to the King of Jin's mansion.

I originally thought that the Jin Palace must be crowded with many guests, but when I arrived at the mansion, I found that there were few cars and horses, which almost made Xu Qilin think that he had missed the money.

The manager of the mansion was waiting at the door to welcome the guests. When he saw Xu Qilin, he hurriedly came up and invited him in earnest.

"Is it because I'm here too early?" Xu Qilin asked in confusion: "Why are there so few guests?"

"Xu Cheng doesn't know anything." The manager explained with a smile: "It's because His Highness the King of Wei doesn't want to be open-minded, so His Highness the King of Jin only invited some relatives."

Relative? I seem to be able to get along with it.

Xu Qilin nodded and thought to himself: Li Sipang has really realized it. It is right to be low-key in the capital. It is useless to win over those messy people.

When he arrived in front of the hall, he heard the jokes inside, and it was very familiar. The manager's loud notification was made, and Changsun Chong smiled and greeted him.

"Why did Qi Lin come?" Changsun rushed forward and pulled Xu Qi Lin and walked in. "I just heard that you were jumping into ice water in the palace yesterday to save people. I was very worried about my brother. It should be nothing serious?"

Xu Qilin smiled and said, "Brother Changsun is kind, I appreciate it. Look at someone's refreshing look, you know it's okay."

As he climbed the steps and was about to walk in, a small figure jumped out and grabbed Xu Qilin and looked up and down.

It turned out to be a whisper. Only then did Xu Qilin know why the news reached Changsun Chong's ears. It turned out that it was a secret leaked by the young master.

"It's okay, but you're taking medicine?" Yizi asked with concern.

Xu Qilin was amused by the appearance of this little adult and patted his chest hard, "Nothing is wrong, he's so good!"

Yizi giggled and pulled Xu Qilin into it. Changsun Chong smiled and looked at Xu Qilin, knowing that he and Yizi had a good relationship, but they didn't know that they were so close.

When he entered the hall, Xu Qilin greeted him one by one. He was really the only relative who invited him. Except for Li Sipang's brothers and sisters, only Xu Qilin was far away.

Also because they are relatives, men and women only drink and feast through the screen, but they can walk freely.

After the ceremony was over, Xu Qilin sat in his seat. In addition to Du He, who hated the most, there was Chai Lingwu, who was generally hated, and the others were fine.

However, Du He seemed to have learned his lesson, and he returned the favor with a smile without laughing, and did not dare to find fault.

However, the Crown Prince Li Chengqian did not come, which made Xu Qilin's evaluation of him even lower. He could not support the mud, but he was still arrogant and arrogant.

"The father has just issued an edict to the inner palace. Whenever the princess surrenders and the prince gets married, the dressing table and mirror are used as dowry and betrothal gifts, then as an example." Jin King Li Zhi looked at Xu Qilin and said with a smile: "I heard that this is what Qilin reported?"

Xu Qilin pondered for a moment and said, "I just asked Princess Changle to surrender. Your Majesty issued a decree to be a common example. It is to cherish family affection and love the princess and the prince."

Li Sipang blinked his eyes and asked Li Zhi: "But sister Chang Le is going to surrender?"

King Li Zhi of Jin said: "It should be next month that he will surrender to General Zuo Qianniu Zhao Gui."

"I'll send you a gift tomorrow," said Li Sipang, "I'll leave Beijing these days, and I can't wait for next month."

Li Zhi was a little surprised and said that it was his aunt, who was also a seniority. Not only did he not kiss him, he had never even met him several times. But when Li Sipang said this, he had to nod and said yes.

Chai Lingwu blinked his eyes and wanted to put two mirrors on it. But the decree said that he was married. He had been on Princess for two years, but he was not listed here.

Xu Qilin didn't care about others. Princess Changle found her sister and helped her, so she was already considered meddling in other people's business.

If he wants to come, don't wait until he gets married and has the title of a princess or prince, and then he will be given a mirror, so that he will look like a father or an elder brother.

As for making money, compared to family affection, it’s nothing!

This topic is no longer discussed, but instead starts chatting.

Although Xu Qilin helped Li Tai, he kept a distance in his daily life and even rarely met. Li Sipang knew this very well, but instead thought that this was Xu Qilin's true performance in taking the team.

When he returned to Luozhou, in addition to continuing to compilation of the "Guodizhi", he also had to work hard according to the plan formulated by Xu Qilin for him, so that His Majesty Li Er could see his political talents.

The time is not long, and the maid comes up with water and sets up wine and food, and the banquet officially begins.

Drinking, eating, chatting, and joking, naturally, singing, dancing and music are indispensable. Princes like Li Zhi have their own singular musicians sent by the sect, and they play music and perform in the hall.

The screen is separated by two sides, but you can see singing and dancing performances, and you can hear the laughter on both sides clearly.

"Taoism is established as a national religion, and this is a national policy." Li Zhi smiled faintly and said, "The monks may be dissatisfied, but they cannot change it."

Li Sipang said: "I don't have a good impression of the monk. If a monk dares to cause trouble, he will follow the previous third-level religion's handling method. It is not impossible to benefit the country and the people."

Li Zhi thought for a while and said, "There are many monks among the monks, so it's not easy to suppress them all, right?"

Li Sipang smiled, not wanting to argue with Xiaojiu about this matter, so he turned to something else.

"Since the legend of the White Snake has been performed, the old monk Fahai has become a hatred for thousands of people." Changsun Chong said to Xu Qilin with a smile: "I heard that some monks are going to find Qilin to argue?"

Xu Qilin nodded and said, "I have driven them away. I can't finish serious matters. Who has time to listen to their idle guys in Ami Tofu?"

"Qi Lin is tough and straightforward." Changsun cried and said, "Don't you know that you are a disciple of Lu Yuxian, and you go to make it boring."

Xu Qilin said: "The teacher does not like monks because of the monks, but is angry that the monks have taken the wrong path. What he said and did is contrary to the Buddha's original intention."

This sentence was a bit profound, and everyone was stunned. Only after careful consideration could we understand the meaning of the words.

"Qi Lin, please tell me a little bit." Li Zhi looked at Xu Qilin with a smile.

Xu Qilin pondered for a moment and said, "The master once said to someone: The influence of monks on the world is not about how many magnificent temples are built, nor about adding more lay Buddhists and monks, but about teaching people to be sincere and quiet."

After pausing and giving everyone some time to think and digest, Xu Qilin continued: "A country rich requires people to pay taxes and food; a country strong requires elite troops. Not only does the two have nothing to do with monks, but monks who do not farm, do not weave or join the army have become obstacles."

Li Si Pang Heshou expressed his agreement and said, "As Qi Lin said, monks have made no contribution to the strength of the country. One monk has more monks and one less citizen in the country, so it is not a waste of time."

"Your Highness's words are insignificant."

Xu Qilin bowed and praised, and then said, "The food and clothing in our mouths are all offered by the people. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the wealth of the people. It is said that it is taken from the people and used for the people. If there is any extra wealth, it should help the poor and the sick, and to help the orphans and widows, but it will not be used by monks to build Hong Temples and build Buddhas."

Li Zhi opened his mouth and finally said no objection.

You say, defending monks means not caring about the people. You eat what the people do, drink what the people do, and dress the people do, and you are ungrateful, but instead look towards monks?

Xu Qilin knew that this guy spent the money from the court to build Ci'en Temple. He heard that he also built the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. Where is it not good to use so much money?

Moreover, when the state religion was established, the monks really did something, but the affected ones were just a few so-called monks who were rumored.

Xu Qilin also wanted to take the opportunity to bury an introduction. Anyway, this statement would definitely reach His Majesty Li Er's ears. At that time, His Majesty Li Er might expand the attack surface and attack the monks again.

Du He also swallowed the words in his mouth. After suffering a few losses, he was already afraid of Xu Qilin's sharp teeth.

What's more, these words are right, and they even bring out a strong country and a wealthy country. If he talks nonsense, what would His Majesty Li Er have to know about him?

Li Sipang suddenly felt a little sad for Xu Qilin's praise and smiled: "The bald heads are everywhere, who is the real monk? Qi Lin's words are the essence."

The laughter sounded, and this sentence was indeed widely circulated, making the monks angry and helpless. They did not have the energy to stop the spread of public opinion, and they dared not control it.

The third-level sect was banned, which also sounded the alarm for the monks, although the third-level sect was not favored by most Buddhist sects.

A woman's laughter also sounded behind the screen, making the princesses laugh, "The bald heads are everywhere, who is the real monk?"

Hehe, Xu Qilin laughed awkwardly, but he didn't expect that Li Sipang was quite humorous.

But as soon as the laughter was finished, a strange sound came from behind the screen.

"Yizi, what's wrong with you?"

"It seems like I'm choking."

"Hurry, hurry, help her."

"Look for a doctor, find a doctor in the mansion."

The voice became more and more urgent, showing the anxiety and panic of the princesses. The people here also heard it, changed their colors and rushed to check it out.

Xu Qilin heard that it was Wei Zi's fault and moved the fastest. He walked around the screen in a few steps.

Several princesses surrounded Yizi and shouted in a hurry, but were at a loss.

Wei Zi opened her mouth, her face was already purple, she reached out to cover her throat, stared at her big eyes, her body trembling, and she looked very painful.

"Call the doctor in the house quickly." Li Sipang shouted loudly.

Li Zhi was a little confused and woke up by screaming. He hurriedly ordered his servants, almost shouting orders.

Everyone was in a mess, screaming and shouting. Li Lizhi patted Yizi's back and tried to put her hand into her mouth, but she failed.

"Everyone, go ahead." Xu Qilin shouted and pulled everyone away, regardless of the identity of the princess. "I know first aid skills and let me come."
