What Li Qi said was calm, relaxed and comfortable, but it made many people fall into deep thought.
This truth is actually very simple. Everyone is selfish. This is their nature. When selecting officials, of course, the interests of the officials are the main priority. Those ministers will not recommend their political opponents, even if they know that this person is very suitable for this position.
But they usually still choose their own people. This is politics.
If they are elected officials, they will also put their own interests first. What can you give me? If you can't, then of course I will not elect you. If you still want to hurt me, then you will never think about it in your life.
Become an official.
The same reason, but because of different ownership of the decision-making power, the results are completely different.
Regardless of whether it is right or wrong, useful or not, this alone is worthy of people's thinking.
Zhao Kai also received a lot of inspiration from it. After a while, he said loudly: "No matter what kind of system it is, the most important thing is to be able to select talents for my Song Dynasty. I now need talents to assist me very much."
As an economic ambassador, I hope to see a more detailed plan as soon as possible."
Even so, he did not ask in detail, and it was obvious that he still had reservations.
"Wei Chen obeys your order." Bai Qiannuo saw that Zhao Kai didn't want to discuss this topic anymore, so she didn't say anything more. Although she was very well prepared, she instead said: "Wei Chen thinks that if the emperor is thirsty for talents, he should not just
We should only focus on the domestic market, but we should also focus on talents from abroad."
Zhao Kai asked curiously: "How do you say this?"
Bai Qiannuo said: "Weichen once met some businessmen from Dashi in Jiangnan. They very much agreed with our country's new laws and liked our Song Dynasty very much. At the same time, they also expressed their wish to stay in our Song Dynasty."
It turned out that the big food merchants who stayed in Tokyo only stayed in the capital for a while, and after swindling a large amount of Song coins, they wanted to go to Jiangnan to try the waters. However, they were left with nothing due to Li Qi's special policy.
At that time, war reports suddenly came from the north. Naturally, they did not dare to return to Tokyo and did not know what to do, so they stayed in Hangzhou.
At that time, Bai Qiannuo was the helmsman of Jiangnan Zuixianju and the richest man in Jiangnan. Most importantly, she was Li Qi's wife. Naturally, these big food merchants wanted to visit Bai Qiannuo. Later, after Jin Bing retreated
, they also returned to Tokyo as soon as possible.
So it’s her? Damn, I’ve been busy for nothing!
Li Qi finally understood it completely, and he couldn't laugh or cry in his heart. Could this be something?
In fact, he was wrong from the beginning. Things were not as complicated as he thought, because those big food businessmen basically invested with the same purpose as him, but their investment methods and objects were contrary to
The principle of business led Li Qi to think that they had other agendas. However, if the manipulator behind the scenes was Bai Qiannuo, then everything would be a matter of course.
Bai Qiannuo also understood that the only way to quickly revitalize Tokyo's economy was through investment, but she must have known that Li Qi would do the same, so she persuaded those big food businessmen not to compete with Li Qi and the others. Find some strength.
Cooperate with slightly worse businessmen.
Judging from the results, those big food businessmen have obviously agreed to Bai Qiannuo, and their purpose is also obvious, which is to settle in the Song Dynasty and become citizens of the Song Dynasty, and this investment is their stepping stone.
Because most of these big food merchants are Jews, Jews are generally mobile and have no fixed residence. It is difficult to distinguish them by nationality. Of course, this is not because they want to leave their hometown, but they are forced by the situation, which also makes them like Going out to work hard, doing business everywhere, surviving in the cracks, and now wanting to settle in the Song Dynasty is completely normal and there is nothing wrong with it.
Zhao Kai said in surprise: "Is there such a thing?"
Bai Qiannuo said: "Reporting to the emperor, this is absolutely true. In fact, in addition to them, there are many foreign businessmen who like to come to our Song Dynasty to do business. It has become more obvious in recent years, and all of this is due to the new law. Since Since the new law was popularized, the status of our merchants in the Song Dynasty has been significantly improved and they have gained more respect, which their country cannot give them.
There is a saying that people go to higher places and water flows to lower places. I believe that every businessman hopes to live in a place where his talents can be fully utilized. Moreover, once they become the people of our Song Dynasty, then they will The wealth they originally possessed has naturally become the wealth of our Song Dynasty. Not to mention too much, at least the court will receive a generous business tax, and their own talents can also create more wealth. For The imperial court should also treat such people with courtesy, strive to absorb them, and grant them the status of subjects of the Song Dynasty. If we can gather the talents from all over the world, our hegemony of the Song Dynasty will be just around the corner."
"Okay! Well said!"
Zhao Kai laughed and said: "Leave this matter to your Commerce Bureau."
"I obey my orders."
Could it be that my first green card in the Song Dynasty was born? Even if this comes from someone else, Li Qi will be very supportive, because this is the advantage of the Song Dynasty. There is no reason not to use it. Who wants to spend their whole life? Who wouldn't want to come to the Song Dynasty to eat and drink in a remote and remote area? As long as the Song Dynasty paid attention to this aspect, it would definitely be able to attract more talents. Of course, the most important of them were the rich.
It seems that I still underestimated her after all. Qin Hui frowned slightly. If the previous words may have been taught by Li Qi to Bai Qiannuo, then these words are definitely not the case, because Li Qi just asked about this big food merchant. It can be seen that Li Qi did not know it beforehand, and the previous words were definitely not taught by Li Qi.
Qin Hui glanced at Bai Qiannuo with a hint of doubt. Does she put the Bai family first or the Privy Councilor first? Why did the Privy Councilor behave so strangely today? Oh, this is really a headache!
Zhao Kai glanced at the ministers and said: "Dear dear friends, do you still have the memorial?"
Qin Hui was startled for a moment, then recovered his thoughts and hurriedly stood up and said: "I would like to report to your Majesty, I have a memorial for you."
"explain."
Qin Huidao: "Wei Chen believes that whether it is the new law or the old law, it is based on the law. A complete set of laws is also the foundation of the reform. However, the law in our country has always been controlled by the Ministry of Punishment, so the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment The position becomes particularly important. This person must be upright and unafraid of power in order to take on this important responsibility."
Zhao Kai understood it as soon as he heard it, so he asked: "I wonder if there is a good candidate for Ai Qing?"
Qin Hui said: "Wei ministers recommended Li Gang from Qinghe County, Luoyang. This man was a Jinshi. He was talented and insightful. He was once demoted to another place for admonishing the court for its mistakes, and then he was transferred back to Beijing. However, he had conflicts with the Jin Kingdom. The envoys argued and fought, and were transferred to Heqing County again, but it can be seen that this person is upright and not afraid of any power, and he is enough to take on this important task."
You guys really think that the court is too peaceful and there is no chance for you to show off, right? Okay, now it's going to be lively. When Li Qi heard about Li Gang, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Because Li Gang had done nothing at the time and had only been with Zhao Huan for a very short time, he had long been forgotten. Li Qi had not mentioned it to Zhao Kai, and Zhao Kai didn’t know Li Gang either, but I heard that this man dared to fight with Jin
The envoy of the country fought hard and was very curious. So he said: "Since you, Mr. Qin, personally recommended him, he must be outstanding. I would also like to meet this person. As for whether he is qualified to be the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, we have to wait.
I will make a decision after I see him."
"The Emperor's Holy Ming."
Zhao Kai glanced at the clock and saw that it was almost noon. So he said: "Since I came to the throne, today's morning meeting is what I want to see most. I hope to brainstorm and listen to more opinions. I don't seek merit, but seek futility."
It is never advisable to have an excessive mentality, and you should give more advice."
"I obey my orders."
"You all have something to report. If not, you will withdraw from the court."
"I respectfully send you to Your Majesty."
When Li Qi raised his head, he immediately looked back and saw that Bai Qiannuo had retreated to the door of the main hall. He opened his mouth slightly, but in the end he didn't shout out and sighed softly.
At this time, Zheng Yi suddenly came over, glanced outside the door, and said to Li Qi: "Father and son serve as ministers in the same palace, and brothers serve as ministers in the same palace. It is common in our dynasty, but this husband and wife serve as ministers in the same palace.
It is truly unprecedented, and it will surely become a legend that will be passed down through the ages. I wonder how the Privy Council feels?"
Li Qi said truthfully: "Pain comes with happiness."
Zheng Yi was stunned, laughed, and then whispered: "You haven't reconciled as before?"
Li Qi shook his head.
Zheng Yi sighed and said: "Actually, I also want to help you, but I'm not as good as you in this regard. I really can't help you."
Li Qi suddenly laughed and said, "You can do it."
"What do you say?"
Zheng Yi looked at Li Qi warily.
Li Qidao: "It's very simple. Youdao turns grief and anger into appetite. If you can invite me to Zuixianju for a meal, then I will definitely be very happy."
"Please?" Zheng Yi said in surprise.
Li Qi clicked his tongue and said: "What do you mean by inviting me again? We have to eat every day. Later we will invite a few people to go together. It will be more lively if there are more people eating. Maybe it can make me forget my sadness faster."
.”
"If there are more people, you will earn more. If you went to Fanlou instead, would you still say that?"
"Of course not, maybe I'll even give him some shoes."
Zheng Yi shook his head helplessly. He was a dignified gentleman, and it was enough for him to meet Li Qi, a cheater.
But as soon as the two of them arrived outside the palace, a young eunuch suddenly caught up with them and panted slightly and said to Li Qi: "Privy Councilor, please stay."
"What's up?"
"The Emperor felt that eating alone was boring, so he asked the villain to come and invite the Privy Councilor to come and dine with him."
When Zheng Yi heard this, he immediately became happy. This was really an eye-opener for God.
"Isn't it true? You also need someone to accompany you when you eat? Uh... you won't say it out, will you?"
"The villain heard nothing."
"Taking care of it."
Li Qi turned to Zheng Yi and said: "Okay, now you are happy, I will let you go today, but I will ask you next time."
Zheng Yi smiled and said, "Let's talk about it next time." After saying that, he quickly left.
Li Qi shook his head and sighed, then followed the young eunuch to Jingfu Hall.
"I am here to see you, Your Majesty."
"You're here, come and sit down."
Li Qi walked over, sat opposite Zhao Kai, looked at the "delicious food" on the table, and exclaimed: "Wow! What a sumptuous lunch!"
Zhao Kai said angrily: "Can you please stop teasing me?"
Li Qidao: "No, no, no, these words definitely come from the depths of my heart. This can be said to be a standard combination of two dishes and one soup, or a nutritional combination of one meat and two vegetables, or one serving for each person."
"It's so hygienic and considerate." But he cursed in his heart, "What the hell? You just use this to entertain me, the Privy Councilor. If you can't finish the meal, ask me to share some. It's really abominable and harmful."
I, Zuixianju, have lost an income in vain.
There were only three dishes placed in front of Li Qi, one was seaweed soup, one was green vegetables, and the only meat dish was bacon, which was not fresh. It was so simple that it was served in duplicate.
Zhao Kai didn't know whether to laugh or cry and said: "Really? I was worried that you would dislike me for being such a simple person."
I fucking hate you so much! You iron cock, you won’t cry out for poverty in front of me on purpose, right? Li Qi cursed secretly, but smiled and said: "How is it possible? I just grew up eating these, not to mention eating them."
, just looking at it makes me feel friendly."
Zhao Kai looked at Li Qi with a smile, pretending to be confused and said: "If that's the case, that's the best. Eat it quickly."
You’re here, and if you don’t eat, you won’t eat for free. After all, the food is free, so it’s okay as long as you’re not hungry. Li Qi sat down, picked up his chopsticks, and started eating.
Zhao Kai took two bites and asked seemingly casually: "You seemed to talk very little when you went to court today?"
I knew you were going to ask this. I am keeping a low profile, okay? Li Qi pretended to be surprised: "If I remember correctly, I should have said a lot today, right?"
Zhao Kai snorted lightly and said, "What do you think?"
Li Qi thought seriously for a while and said: "It seems that apart from the emperor, Qin Hui, Qiniang, and Zheng Yi, I am the one who talks the most."
Zhao Kai rolled his eyes and said: "Don't play these tricks with me. In the past, when my father was in power, whenever it came to reform matters, you always talked endlessly, and you were almost the only one who spoke. But today, if I hadn't taken the initiative to find someone,
You, I'm afraid you can't even open your mouth."
Look at what you said, at least I can say long live the emperor, the emperor is wise, etc. How can I not even open my mouth? Li Qihehe: "It's different now. I was the only one who was proficient in this new method before. Naturally, I can't even open my mouth."
I am the one who is saying, things are different now. Needless to say, Qin Hui and Qiniang, even Chen Dong and Zheng Yi know the new law very well, so it is reasonable for me to say less. Moreover, judging from the proportion of the number of people in the hall,
Judging from it, I definitely said a lot."
The proportion of people? You really dare to say it! Zhao Kai snorted: "I think someone has said it for you."
Li Qi was stunned and said: "Could it be that the emperor was implying that Qiniang's words were all taught by me?"
Zhao Kai nodded and said, "Isn't it?"
Li Qi sighed: "I hope so too. The problem is that I have been back in Beijing for so long, and I only really saw her today."
Zhao Kai looked at his sad face and asked, "Have you not made peace with White Snake yet?"
He didn't know the inside story and thought that after Bai Qiannuo took over as economic envoy, the two of them would naturally reconcile.
Li Qi understood in his heart, shook his head and said: "Public is public and private is private. I will not mix public matters with private matters. I still make this distinction very clearly."
Zhao Kai said angrily: "Do you know the difference clearly? Then you recommend White Snake to be the economic envoy. How do you resolve this matter?"
Li Qi's expression froze and he said: "This--I think today's meeting has already proved this very well."
Zhao Kai smiled and said: "Even if you are right, I am really impressed by White Snake's memorial and I am looking forward to it very much. However, this is really not what you taught me."
"Really, I don't dare to deceive you, it will kill people."
"Are you still bullying me? If that's true, you would have died hundreds of times at least."
ps: Yesterday I accidentally deleted a manuscript. I was so angry that I almost went crazy. I just finished coding and revising, but my stupid hand did not click on copy, but instead clicked on post. I have seen more than 4,700 words in the blink of an eye.
...., I was dumbfounded for half a minute, and immediately asked for help in the group, but they all said I couldn't find it. I originally wanted to code it out immediately, and sent it at 8 o'clock in the morning, but I couldn't code a word at all.
That's the only one. I'm not even in the mood to watch the World Cup. Fortunately, I didn't watch it. Otherwise, I'm afraid I'd go crazy due to this double blow, so that the update has been postponed until now. I haven't eaten lunch yet, but don't worry, the next chapter will still be there.
Posted at around five o'clock, but for such a cruel and inhumane thing, shouldn't everyone sympathize with it and throw in monthly tickets, recommendations, rewards, etc.! (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
