Under Li Qi's joke, Qin Hui and Zheng Yi were very depressed. They really didn't know whether Li Qi's words were true or not, which made people panic.
After talking for a while, Cai Jing felt a little tired. With Cai Yong's help, he sat down on a chair. Bai Qiannuo also followed, while Zheng Yi went to Zhang Zeduan's side. Zhang Zeduan was one of the few.
The two people who admired Zheng Yi were also old friends. Once they met, they couldn't stop talking about it.
After these people left, Qin Hui suddenly said: "Privy Envoy, can you lend me a moment to speak?"
Li Qi was stunned, nodded and said with a smile: "Of course."
"please."
When the two came to the edge, Qin Hui said: "That's it. I very much agree with the financial disclosure proposed by the Privy Council earlier, but I think that since it is made public, it should be made public to the people of the world. But what is this?
The Privy Councilor did not say anything about the disclosure method and how it should be disclosed. I was wondering if I could change the former imperial newspaper into a newspaper similar to the Times Weekly of the Song Dynasty to publish some news. The Privy Councilor Envoy
You should also know that in the past, Di newspapers basically dealt with officials and did not have much relationship with the people. Nowadays, movable type printing has become popular. In recent years, Kaifeng has added more than 30 printing workshops, so I think
The previous Di Bao should also have changed."
Nowadays, the circulation of Di Bao has been strictly controlled by the central government. It publishes all the major policies and personnel changes of the imperial court at that time. The audience area is small and the content is boring. Generally, officials only buy it to save trouble. Moreover, its circulation
It was copied by hand. Unless something big happened, the people would pay a little attention to it. It was still passed down orally, and it was already deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, even if it was published in the Song Dynasty Times Weekly.
And Qin Hui has been with Li Qi for so long, whether he was purging the officialdom in Jiangnan, fighting against scholar-bureaucrats, or defending Kaifeng, he has personally experienced the beauty of the Song Dynasty Times Weekly. Since it is so useful, he has no reason not to use it.
, he was determined to own a newspaper. He had also made a lot of preparations. Now, the only person in the court that worried him was Li Qi. Only Li Qi could stop this, so he simply tested Li Qi first.
Let's see what he means. If Li Qi objects, although he will not give up, he will definitely postpone it and wait for a better time.
This guy is really a born politician. He only has power in his heart. Even the most delicious wine and food cannot attract him. Li Qi sighed in his heart. Then he pretended to ponder for a while and said: "This is a good idea. I
Very much agree.”
Qin Hui was overjoyed, but still couldn't believe it, and said: "The Privy Councilor really feels good about it?"
Li Qi shrugged and said: "Why not. In the past, when the Supreme Emperor was on the throne, the people lost trust in the court and the people did not believe in the court. Now, although the emperor has ascended the throne, there are some things that the people may not understand. At this time,
A bridge needs to be built in the middle. And newspapers and periodicals are undoubtedly the best bridge. The court can explain all this to the people through newspapers and periodicals. Of course, the most important thing is that the people are also taxpayers. They are fully qualified to know the taxes they pay.
It is understandable how it has been used, but the Song Dynasty Times Weekly is from the perspective of the common people. The same meaning has different publishers, so the meaning will be different."
Qin Hui finally heaved a sigh of relief and said: "To be honest, Qin Hui is not that familiar with this aspect. When this idea first came up, he really didn't know if it was feasible. But now after listening to the Privy Councilor's words, Qin Hui was really enlightened.
Thank you, thank you very much.”
Who are you lying to? If you weren't fully prepared, why would you tell me first? Li Qi said with a hint of dissatisfaction: "We are all sharing your worries for you. Are you trying to drive me out of the government by saying thank you?"
Then we have to rush out! Qin Hui said hurriedly: "I don't dare, I don't dare. Please also ask the Privy Council not to make such jokes."
Li Qi laughed, patted his shoulder and said, "Relax, relax. If you don't understand something, you can ask me. You know, I also like to ask for your opinion."
Qin Hui nodded and said, "If I disturb the Privy Envoy, please forgive me."
"This is what I want to tell you." Li Qi suddenly looked back and said, "Excuse me for a moment."
"Privy Envoy please."
After Li Qi said goodbye to Qin Hui, he walked towards a woman who had just come in. This person was Liu Yunxi, who was also one of today's guests.
"Li Qi is really honored that Shi Niang is here!" Li Qi stepped forward and held his hands in succession.
Liu Yunxi glanced at him sideways and asked suspiciously, "Why did you invite me here?"
Li Qi whispered: "Didn't I say that I asked you to come here today to bring insect food to a higher level?"
"If this were not the case, I would not have come." Liu Yunxi glanced at the others and said with a little fear: "But you can handle this situation by yourself, I'd better go back."
"No, no, no, no." Li Qi quickly stopped her and said, "Liu Shiniang, aren't you? You asked me to promote this type of food at the beginning. Now I have agreed, but you are holding me back again. This is unavoidable for you.
That's too responsible. I don't want you to go on stage to speak. You can just sit quietly in a corner without saying a word."
Liu Yunxi hesitated a little and said, "Seriously?"
"It's absolutely true. If I lie to you, you can reward me with a hundred catties of venomous snakes." Li Qi affirmed.
Liu Yunxi heard a smile creeping out of the corner of his mouth, and nodded: "That---okay then."
"Shi Niang."
At this time, Hong Tianjiu and Gao Yanei noticed Liu Yunxi's arrival and hurried over.
When Liu Yunxi saw Hong Tianjiu and the others, his nervous expression relaxed a little.
Li Qi asked Hong Tianjiu to entertain Liu Yunxi, while he went to the back because the press conference was about to start.
After another meal, with the sound of firecrackers, the glass press conference finally began.
The guests have all taken their seats, and not only that, the students and teachers of Taishi College have also moved their chairs to sit in the back to listen to the press conference.
As soon as Li Qi stepped onto the stage, there was warm applause from below, which was very flattering.
After waiting for a while, the applause dissipated. Li Qicai cupped his hands and said, "Thank you very much for taking time out of your busy schedule to attend the press conference of a great invention, and this great invention is glass."
The applause resumes.
Li Qi smiled and said: "Most of the people sitting here know about this new type of glass. They all come from the Thousand-Hand Guanyin on the Mid-Autumn Festival. A few of them have already seen the Thousand-Hand Guanyin during the Kaifeng Defense War.
Clairvoyance made of glass. But what exactly is glass and what is it used for? I believe you all don’t know yet. Since this conference is a conference for glass, of course I am not the protagonist. Here are today’s protagonists
.”
He said and moved his hand to the left.
Everyone unconsciously followed his finger and saw a cone-shaped object on the left. Since the top was covered with red cloth, they didn't know what was underneath.
On both sides of the cone-shaped object, there were two people standing. These two people were dealing with Ma Qiao and Chen Anan.
When Li Qi nodded to them, they immediately picked up the four corners of the red cloth and carefully opened it.
"Wow---!"
As soon as the red cloth was lifted up, there was an exclamation of exclamation from below.
But I saw a round table under the red cloth. It was not big. It was just for two people to dine. The key was on the table. I saw a champagne tower made of stacked goblets. The gentle autumn sunshine shone on it, making it sparkle with golden light.
Sparkling, eye-catching, extremely beautiful.
Since this goblet is very valuable nowadays, a thick layer of cloth blanket was laid under the table to prevent it from collapsing. For this reason, he also specially protected the land of Maqiao, the master among the masters, and Chen Anan, the master.
about.
Bang! Bang!
Just when everyone was fascinated, two sudden noises woke everyone up. At some point, Ma Qiao and Chen Anan suddenly had two more crystal bottles in their hands. Compared with wine bottles, these can be said to be giant.
The bottle was empty. A stream of white foam came out of it.
The two took the giant wine bottle and placed it on the top of the champagne tower. They tilted the bottle slightly, and saw a uniform champagne-colored liquid flowing out from it, complementing the sunshine.
When the first glass was full, I followed the flow to the second floor. Those beautiful glasses seemed to be bathed in fine wine, glowing with a faint light. It was so tempting.
As soon as this came up, the guests were dumbfounded. Hong Tianjiu stamped his feet in a hurry, complaining that Li Qi wouldn't let him in for such an interesting thing.
Then again, if this kid were to replace Chen Anan, the champagne tower would definitely collapse, and his curiosity would definitely prompt him to grab the bottom glass.
The strong aroma of wine gradually spread.
Many guests originally thought this wine was beer, but from the smell of the wine, it was obvious that it was not the effervescent and unparalleled one.
"Unparalleled!"
"Unparalleled!"
Many people have already thought of the mysterious Peerless One. Gao Yanei, Hong Tianjiu and other idiots shouted excitedly.
Li Qi smiled and said: "Please be patient, everyone, this wine is not unique, but a new variety of Unparalleled in the world, called champagne. Champagne in the Unparalleled series represents celebration, use it to celebrate
This great moment couldn't be more suitable, and Peerless represents the king of wines. It is only born for the king. You can say that these very beautiful wine glasses are born for Peerless, but they are not worthy of Peerless.
To set them off, everyone must understand this sequence."
If this is not worthy, then what exactly is worthy of being clear and peerless?
Everyone was surprised when they heard this.
Li Qi ignored everyone's surprise and continued: "What you are seeing now are wine glasses made of glass. They are so beautiful and charming. They are as unique as they are unparalleled in the world."
At this point, he changed the topic and said: "But if glass exists only for these wine glasses, then how can it be called great? In my understanding, a great invention must be able to
Benefiting mankind is the most basic, and there is no upper limit to it. These glasses obviously cannot do that. They can make the wine more beautiful, make the person holding it look noble, and become the center of attention in the audience.
focus, but that’s it. If you hold other wine glasses, you can also drink, and the taste will be the same. Glass cannot become a great invention, but glass definitely can. Its appearance can promote human development.
Progress can make our lives simpler, richer, and more interesting. Here is a new friend of us humans, the glass mirror."
