Chapter 1177 A woman under politics (seeking a monthly ticket)
Li Qi knew very well that Cai Jing and Gao Qiu were all sincerely for his own good, but their friendship was only secondary. The main reason was because Cai Jing and Gao Qiu had all their influence in the court eliminated, except for their relationship with Li Qi.
The deepest, and Li Qi has always been very kind to them, so the two of them don't like Li Qi making any mistakes, which is not a good thing for them.
We are all smart people, and there is no need to be too straightforward about some issues. Cai Jing and Gao Qiu also pointed them out right away.
The three of them chatted while eating, very relaxed, which was completely opposite to the tense atmosphere outside.
After the meal, Gao Qiu proposed to play some games of Landlords, and Li Qi of course agreed. He was short of money now, so he definitely hoped to win some money from these two people. Cai Jing seemed to be in a good mood today, so he agreed.
The three of them got another small coffee table, sat in front of the window and played poker.
……．
"One to four."
Cai Jing threw out two cards, suddenly thought of something, and said to Li Qi: "Oh, Li Qi, do you know that Bai Qiniang came to see me the day before yesterday?"
Li Qi raised his eyebrows, feeling a little surprised and said: "Really?"
Gao Qiu said: "Hurry up and get out."
"Oh, that's right. Ah, something went wrong."
"Hey! No regrets if you lose, against J."
As soon as the card was played, Li Qi suddenly woke up and looked at the 789 JQ in his hand. He wanted to cry to death, but he didn't pay much attention to it and asked Cai Jing: "Grand Master, Qiniang"
What do I want from you?"
"Yes K!" Cai Jing said: "You really don't know?"
Li Qi shook his head and said, "I don't know."
"Play first."
"Yes 2. Oops, something went wrong again."
Li Qi glanced at Gao Qiu with resentment and said secretly, "Urgent, urge, urge, have a baby!"
Gao Qiu turned a blind eye and shook his head: "No."
"No!" Cai Jing smiled softly and said, "It seems like you and Bai Qiniang haven't gotten back together yet. I thought that since she was appointed as the economic envoy, you should have reconciled."
"three."
Li Qi threw out a card dejectedly, and then looked at the card in his hand. How could this landowner still play the card? He said: "This is not a business, just exchange the same for the same."
"That's true." Cai Jing smiled and said, "She is here to buy someone from me."
Khan! Human trafficking? Li Qi was stunned for a moment, then said: "She wants to recruit people from Taishi College to the Bureau of Commerce?"
Cai Jing nodded.
Li Qidao: "Then Grand Master, have you agreed?"
"Your question is really unnecessary." Gao Qiu chuckled, threw out a card and said: "K."
This is true. It must be the old guy's dream for a student from Taishi College to enter the imperial court. How could he refuse? Li Qi looked at the only 2 in his hand. He hesitated for a while and shook his head.
Cai Jingdao: "But your wife is really ruthless. She left the entire arithmetic department in one fell swoop, and she is still the top student in our Taishi College."
This is not surprising. Nowadays, the Commerce Bureau must count land. The new mathematics of Taishi College can save a lot of time. Li Qi asked: "That must cost a lot of money, right?"
Gao Qiu took out a few more cards and said: "Three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine."
Li Qi still shook his head, not ten.
The landlord didn't want it. Of course Cai Jing would not attack his own people and shook his head. He added: "Bai Qiniang learned business from you. How expensive can this money be? She said it was a donation of 300 yuan to Taishi College."
, but it still takes three years to pay it off, she must have figured out my mind!"
Three hundred strings sounds like a lot, but the top students from Taishi College are really rare treasures in this era, because they have more scientific knowledge, especially the students from the School of Science.
It was very little, and Bai Qiannuo spent three hundred guan, and it was a mortgage. If it were any other businessman, Cai Jing would definitely scold him for talking nonsense, but Bai Qiannuo was sure that Cai Jing hoped that his students could enter the imperial court, so
, she dared to bargain to the death. Obviously, her decision was right, and Cai Jing finally agreed.
Silly girl, if you come to me, I'll probably give you a half discount. Li Qi muttered to himself, but said with a smile: "Thank you so much, Master."
Cai Jing waved his hand and said: "No need to thank me, I am not helping her for free, nor is it for your sake."
Gao Qiu suddenly threw out five more cards and said: "Three queens bring a pair."
"don't want!"
"don't want!"
"One to ten. No more."
Sweat! I was the one who won this card! I am so unlucky. When I have money, I can win money in anything. When I have no money, I can also lose money in poker. Alas. Li Qi forced out a smile and said,
Said: "The captain's fight is really great. By the way, do you know about the land tax?"
"Give me the money first."
"Uh... sure, sure."
As expected of Brother Qiu, like me, only money is in his eyes, but this is just the beginning, the money will be the winning later. Li Qi immediately took out the money and gave it to the two of them.
Cai Jing exclaimed: "What? You want to buy land from us?"
Li Qidao: "Of course not, I don't have any money now. I just want to remind you two that the court is serious this time."
Because the two of them were not affected by the movement on the surface, Zhao Kai had no reason to take back the land in their hands. You must know that these two were probably the largest landowners in the Song Dynasty. If the land tax was increased,
If it is determined, then they will suffer a huge loss.
Cai Jing smiled and said: "Don't worry, when Wang Fu proposed to increase the land tax, I had already made preparations. I exchanged part of the fertile land for wasteland, and built the college and the land of Jiangnan College. I used the fertile land in exchange for it. In this way
It also saves me a lot of money. You should understand that opening so many academies requires a lot of money."
Mr. Cai is Mr. Cai, he really has foresight! Li Qi looked at Gao Qiu again.
Gao Qiu chuckled: "I don't have the foresight of a grand master, but I have recently exchanged a lot of land with the people. Anyway, I plan to open a few more Cuju courts. In addition, Kang'er's foundation also needs some land for business. Now
The cultivated land in my hands should be enough to pay the land increase tax."
Brother Qiu is not an ordinary person. He is a huge profiteer. He now sees that although the returns from this kind of land are stable, they are too little. Business is the way to go, so he simply exchanges the fields for wasteland to build factories and do business.
There are many manufacturing industries under his banner. Of course, those people want to farm. When they see someone exchanging cultivated land for wasteland, they rush over and exchange it with Gao Qiu.
At this moment, someone suddenly heard someone downstairs say: "Tsk tsk, this Master Li is really bringing disaster to the country and the people. The current Supreme Emperor was deceived by his beauty in the first place and became irrational in government affairs. This kind of woman is simply unbelievable to Li Bangyan and others."
Be more hateful."
Li Qi couldn't help being stunned when he heard this.
Cai Jing and Gao Qiu looked at each other, then shook their heads gently.
Another person said: "Who can say otherwise? What this article says is so right. Master Li turned into a goblin and came to harm our Song Dynasty."
"Listening to what you said, it seems to be true. When the Jin soldiers arrived in Kaifeng, Master Li just disappeared from the world. No one has seen her again, and I heard people say that her attic is deserted most nights.
It's pitch black. Obviously no one is there, but occasionally at night, there are lights on. Do you think it's strange or not?"
Li Qi frowned secretly. He knew very well that Master Li had left long ago. The reason why the lights were lit those nights was because he and Zhao Kai were discussing the anti-golden plan inside.
"Hey, guys, where did you hear this?"
"Is this still useful? It's written in today's Song Dynasty Times, and it was written by a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy."
"Really? Bring me a weekly copy quickly."
……．
"Da Song Times Weekly?"
Li Qi looked sideways at Cai Jing.
Cai Jing said: "Don't look at me, I don't want to be involved in this. It's just that the Hanlin Academy sent someone to send this article a few days ago. I hope I can publish this article in the Song Dynasty Times Weekly."
Li Qi understood completely upon hearing this. It was obviously Zhao Kai's secret instruction.
His purpose of doing this was nothing more than to restore the reputation of the Zhao family. After all, when Song Huizong was in power, he made the country a mess, and the people complained. Although Zhao Kai also felt shameful, the problem was that Song Huizong was his father, and he had
He is the leader of the Zhao family, and these words are very detrimental to the Zhao family, so he must eliminate this voice. However, the fact is irrefutable and difficult to change, so he can only find someone to take the blame.
The Six Thieves were naturally the first choice, and coupled with the special figure Li Shishi, they could well divert the people's resentment towards Song Huizong.
There is an essential difference between the emperor being ignorant and ignorant and the emperor being deceived by women and becoming ignorant and ignorant. One is active and the other is passive. The latter is naturally lighter than the former.
This is also a method commonly used in feudal society, because this is a patriarchal society, and matters related to the emperor must be handled carefully. If it is the emperor who has subjugated the country, maybe the new regime will take the opportunity to discredit him, but if not, the successor will definitely
She will try her best to clear her father's name, but a woman's status is low, she has no say, and no one will listen to her words, so she is undoubtedly the best candidate to take the blame.
A dignified nobleman, you are so fascinated by a woman that you can only blame your incompetence. What else can you blame? Why do beautiful beauties always appear in the era of faint kings? That is because in the era of wise kings, these beauties are not blamed.
But if you memorize it, it will naturally not be recorded in the history books.
Just like behind a bad man, there must be a bad woman.
Throughout the ages, many women have carried this big blame and been reviled by the world and have been infamy for thousands of years. However, these were all written by men. Women have no right to argue. No one knows what the truth is.
Of course, there are exceptions. If a woman with real power like Cixi harms the country and the people, you can't scold her too much.
Li Qi smiled reluctantly, but did not say anything. The three of them were all aware of this matter, and there was no value in discussing it, so they continued to play cards.
They say that those who are frustrated in love will be proud in the casino.
But Li Qi was not very happy in love, and he also lost a lot in the casino. After playing for a while, he lost nearly a hundred coins and went out. He was blown up by Brother Qiu, and it was a terrible mess!
Fortunately, Cai Jing was old and lacked endurance. After fighting for a while, he said he wanted to go back and rest.
Li Qi personally sent the two of them out.
"You don't pay for your meals and you still take money from me. Is there any royal law in this world?"
Li Qi looked at Cai Jing and Brother Qiu's carriage, chattering incessantly.
Wu Furong suddenly came over and said with a hint of blame: "Li Qi, you just lost eighty-eight coins!"
What a good number! Li Qi felt angina pectoris and almost cried when he heard it, and said: "Uncle Wu, I was stabbed several times just now. Please stop throwing salt on me."
Wu Furong said: "In that case, you shouldn't have made such a big bet with them just now."
Li Qi argued: "This is a matter of face. If the guests know that I can't even afford to lose this little money, then the guests will think that our Zuixianju is in danger, which will be extremely detrimental to the development of our Zuixianju. But don't worry
, I can get this money back soon."
Wu Furong asked curiously: "How to get it?"
Li Qi turned his head and shouted inside: "Ya Nei, are you interested in playing some stud later?"
"Wonderful, wonderful."
Gao Yanei responded immediately: "We are getting impatient waiting for the lunch box, please hurry up."
Waiting for the lunch box? This idiot is really good at adding insult to injury. He will die if he eats a big meal. He must kill them severely later. Li Qi's eyes revealed a murderous intent.
Wu Furong was surprised and said: "You still want to gamble!"
Li Qi smiled and said: "Don't worry, if I am so unhappy in love, the casino will definitely be proud of it. It was just an accident." As he said that, he called Ma Qiao over again.
Seeing that he seemed to be telling Ma Qiao, Wu Furong left wisely.
Ma Qiao came over and said, "Bu Shuai, what's the matter?"
Li Qidao: "Inform Nan Bowan and ask him to wait for me at the old place this afternoon."
