The first thousand five hundred and thirty-one chapters lie in the elbow
Royal Palace!
"Notice to the Emperor that the Privy Council is asking for an audience outside the house.: 3w."
"Why is he here at this time?"
Zhao Kai, who was having a meal, was stunned for a moment and then said: "Let him come in."
"yes."
After a while, Li Qi came in and saluted: "The humble minister Li Qi is here to see the emperor." He secretly glanced at the table, but saw that Wu Zi was still eating meat and vegetables. Apparently, he had already learned about Zhao Kai from outside.
Having a meal.
"No gift."
Zhao Kai smiled softly and said: "What? Are you here now to make a surprise inspection to see if I am extravagant or wasteful?" Li Qi's little move just now did not escape his eyes.
"Wei Chen dare not."
Li Qi smiled coquettishly, pointed to the rolled-up book beside the rice bowl and said, "Wei Chen just wants to remind the emperor that you have to concentrate on everything you do. Eating and reading is not good for your health."
Zhao Kai waved his hand and sighed: "I know it too, but I can't help but watch it recently."
The implication of this is that in the recent academic turmoil, although Li Qi, Qin Hui and others are taking care of the specific details, he is the one who really makes the decision, so he must have some knowledge of each school, but he used to be the main focus
Confucianism, I don’t know much about other schools of thought, and I have been trying to make up for it recently. From this, it can be seen that it is not easy to be a good emperor.
As he spoke, he smiled and said: "You probably haven't eaten yet, so why don't you eat with me? It's quite boring for me to eat alone."
If it were anyone else, he would definitely be crying with excitement. It would be a great honor to have dinner with the emperor. However, Li Qi was more demanding. Looking at the meat and vegetables, he really couldn't get interested and didn't want to agree.
.But I was too embarrassed to refuse.
Seeing that Li Qi was hesitant and silent, Zhao Kai said, "Is it possible that the Privy Council looks down on me for being a clear soup with little water?"
The emperor had said this, so Li Qi couldn't possibly be wiser. He thanked him and sat down.
Zhao Kai immediately ordered someone to get another pair of bowls and chopsticks. Suddenly he saw Li Qi holding a sack in his hand and asked curiously: "What is that in your hand?"
Only then did Li Qi remember the purpose of his trip. He quickly placed the bag on the table and was about to open it when he suddenly glanced left and right.
Something mysterious. Zhao Kai waved his hand, and the two maids waiting nearby withdrew immediately.
Li Qi then opened the bag.
There were three tops. Fortunately, Zhou Qing had just made them and didn't make too many, otherwise Li Qi would have had to push the cart into the palace.
Zhao Kai took a look and said curiously: "It's just a few clothes."
Li Qidao: "Your Majesty, please take a closer look."
Is there another mystery inside? Zhao Kai picked up a piece of clothing. As soon as his hand touched the clothing, he was very curious and said: "Huh? What are your clothes made of? It's so soft."
Li Qi smiled and said: "This is the latest product made by the Zhou family's textile workshop. Your Majesty, this dress is not thick. It is also very light, but it is very warm when worn on the body."
"Yeah?"
Zhao Kai smiled and said: "Then this is a good thing. Isn't that the purpose of an economy that governs by doing nothing? Then Zhou Qing is really a great doctor. Very good, very good." After that, he looked at Li Qi and said: "
But this trivial matter will not cause your Privy Councilor to rush into the palace to report to me."
Li Qi gave up and said, "Can your Majesty guess what this is made of?"
"I couldn't guess that."
Zhao Kai answered simply. Although he was the emperor, he really didn't have much research on clothing, let alone the materials used to make clothes.
"wool."
Li Qidao.
"wool?"
Zhao Kai was stunned for a moment, then frowned and began to think deeply.
Li Qi took the opportunity to pour a cup of tea into his mouth.
After a while, Zhao Kai said: "What are you worried about?"
Li Qidao: "First of all, this kind of woolen clothes is very warm and comfortable. Once it appears, it will soon become popular all over the country, and the price will definitely not be low. As a result, many people will definitely build pastures to herd sheep, and then the cultivated land will definitely be A sharp decrease will have a very large impact on my country's grain production."
Zhao Kai continued: "Also, our country's livestock are purchased from Xixia and Jin Kingdom. Once the wool becomes valuable, then the sheep will definitely follow the rising tide. This is helping Xixia, Jin Kingdom, and even
Mongolia gets rich."
Li Qidao: "At that time, the currency of the Song Dynasty will follow this wool and flow to their country."
Zhao Kai nodded and said: "Where is Zhou Qing?"
Li Qidao: "I have already ordered them to keep silent. All the clothes he made of wool are here. I believe there will be no problem."
Zhao Kai asked: "Then what do you think?"
Li Qidao: "Because several large ranches are all under the control of the Xixia and Jin Kingdoms, and our country is a big importer of livestock. Countless dollars are spent on this alone every year. If the price of livestock increases, it will definitely not be a problem for us in the Song Dynasty."
Good thing, although these clothes are very good, Wei Chen suggested that it is better not to show up. We can vigorously develop the cotton industry and encourage everyone to use cotton to make clothes, and then sell them to the cold places north of the Kingdom of Jin to gain wealth.
, this cotton cannot be cultivated in the north, but there are countless sheep in the north."
Zhao Kai gently rubbed the clothes in his hands, pondered for a while, and said, "Yes! Now is not the time."
Isn't it the right time? Li Qi frowned and pondered for a moment, then said: "The emperor intends to use this woolen sweater as a weapon to promote the war."
Zhao Kai snorted and said with a smile: "The war between us and the Jin Kingdom and Xixia is inevitable, it will only happen sooner or later, and a war that the people support and a war that the people oppose are worlds apart.
The difference is, in fact, we people in the Song Dynasty have always envied the pastures of Xixia and Jin, but we are not strong enough and dare not show it. Once our strength is higher than that of Jin and Xia, then the people will definitely have other ideas.
, if this woolen sweater is launched again at this time, not only the common people in the world, but at least the wealthy merchants and nobles will definitely hope to own the pastures in the northwest and north, and gain the support of the people, our battle will be more effective with half the effort. What do you think?"
Li Qi was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "The emperor is the emperor, and he can see much more profoundly than Wei Chen."
Zhao Kai shook his head and said: "It's okay for others to say this, but don't say it. I learned it from you."
Li Qi smiled and said, "Yes. Wei Chen knows what to do."
Zhao Kai's idea is actually to brew a land enclosure movement, but the difference is that in the West, they first enclose their own land, and then go to other people's land, while Zhao Kai wants to enclose other people's land from the very beginning. Of course, both sides
The original intentions are also different. Western capitalists just want to plunder profits, but Zhao Kai wants to build a big empire, which is an enclosure in a completely political sense.
In fact, in China's feudal society, the imperial power was too centralized, so he was not worried about the enclosure movement in the country. As long as the imperial policy came out, no one would dare to tamper with it.
After dinner at the palace, Li Qi rushed to Zhou's house. He knew that if he didn't go, Zhou Qing's family would definitely not be able to sleep. As expected, when Li Qi came to Zhou's house, everyone in the Zhou family was on pins and needles, as if they were ready to run away at any time.
The road seems to be good.
Li Qi reassured them and told them that the emperor praised them highly. He just asked them to study it slowly in secret. When the time is right, the court will allow them to mass-produce this woolen sweater. However, at this stage, this news must not be spread.
When the news was leaked out, Li Qi specially told Zhou Hua not to tell the fourth young masters and the others about it. In Gao Yameni, Hong Tianjiu was a big talker and couldn't hide anything in his heart.
After hearing this, Zhou Qing felt relieved. He breathed a sigh of relief and almost collapsed to the ground.
After coming out of Zhou's house, it was already late at night, with a bright moon in the sky and a few scattered stars fading and fading around.
"It's really not worthwhile to take this rotation. I should have told Mr. Zhou just now. If you have anything to do with me in the future, try to come to me during work. Economic development is also my job."
Li Qi raised his head and looked at the bright moon, sighed slightly, suddenly thought of something, and shouted: "Oops." Then he quickly jumped on the carriage and said: "Go home quickly."
...
After returning to the house, Li Qi immediately asked: "Auntie, where is Shi Niang now?"
Aunt Chen said: "Inside the house, still--"
Before he finished speaking, Li Qi had already left quickly.
"What happened? Why are you so anxious, sir?"
Can we not be anxious about this?
What Li Qi hates most is breaking promises to women. He promised to cook a sumptuous dinner for Liu Yunxi that night, but he actually forgot about it. This is an unforgivable sin. More importantly, tonight is a very special night.
, was the last step in his and Liu Yunxi's trial marriage. Without going in-depth, how could they completely understand each other.
Arriving at Liu Yunxi's courtyard, Li Qi saw that the lights were still on, and was about to go over. He suddenly smelled his sleeves, took back his steps, turned around and hurried to the bathhouse. Is this his first "interview"? Basically
Hygiene still needs to be talked about.
In the excitement, Li Qi "brushed" his whole body, and stood in a wooden barrel and placed a few toned poses. After confirming that he was in the best condition, he walked out of the bathroom. When he just went out
, and looked around a little guiltily, but then I thought, no, this is not going to Mrs. Qin’s room, what am I afraid of, this is my home, Liu Yunxi is already my wife, I’m going to my wife’s room
, who dares to say even half a sentence, hum, even if it's not, uh... it's not okay, Qiniang will go crazy.
But no matter what, he straightened his back and strode towards Liu Yunxi's courtyard.
At this time, Liu Yunxi's room was still lit.
Could it be that she was waiting for me? I deserved it. I will make it up to Shiniang later. Li Qi felt a little guilty and walked over. He pushed the door gently and it opened.
Darling, you really understand me and even held the door open for me. Li Qi quietly opened the door and walked in, but at first glance, there was no one in the outer room. After a moment of surprise, he went back to the inner room and locked his gaze on
The only bed in the house.
He walked over quietly, opened the tent, and saw Liu Yunxi sleeping on her side under the quilt, facing inward. From the sound of her breathing calmly, she must have fallen asleep.
Li Qi was really gearing up. He quickly took off his whole body except for a small piece of underwear, then quietly got into the bed, and eagerly hugged Liu Yunxi inside. It was just right, just holding the ten pieces in one hand.
On my mother's breasts, she said with a smile: "My dear, Shi Niang, please wait for a long time---."
But as soon as he said these words, his eyes suddenly opened. No! It's not that the words are wrong, but the feel is wrong. Shiniang's breasts are very straight and elastic, but they can still be grasped with one hand, but the beauty inside is
It is difficult to grasp with one hand, and although it is very straight, it is on the soft side.
This is definitely not Shiniang, so who could it be?
Oops! Wrong touch again. Li Qi suddenly broke into a cold sweat. Before he finished speaking, he heard an exclamation and saw an elbow waved.
boom!
It hit Li Qi right in the face. It was such a strong blow that his head was filled with stars. He didn't even make a sound. You can imagine how powerful this elbow was. Li Qi almost fainted.
But when she saw the beauty next to her using strength in her waist and abdomen, she jumped up. She was extremely agile. He also saw her reach out and pull out a sharp sword from the scabbard hanging on the edge of the bed. The sword light flashed. Just as she raised the sword
When he was about to stab him, he suddenly stopped and exclaimed: "Is it you?"
If she wanted to kill Li Qi at this time, Li Qi really had no room for resistance at all, because the elbow just hit him right on the tip of his nose. He covered his face with both hands and huddled up, with painful tears streaming down his face.
Oh, it was so painful to get hit in the nose. It wasn't until he heard the woman's voice that he opened his eyes with difficulty. Suddenly his eyes widened and he said, "Why is it you?" (To be continued...)
ps: It’s the last day, I’m crying and begging for a double monthly ticket!!!
