If the Jin Kingdom or Xixia heard this series of figures, they would be shocked. In fact, the Song Dynasty has changed so much in the past ten years. The surrounding countries only know that the Song Dynasty was very rich, but to what extent was it specifically rich?
No one knows.
When wealth accumulates to a certain level, it must be consumed, and consumption is exchanged for more resources, because consumption is only temporary, but resources are permanent. If a piece of land passes through a white year, it is still a piece of land, and it can still be used.
Growing food is not a loss in any way. This is Zhao Kai's expansion strategy.
At the same time, consumption can also stimulate the economy.
When they heard this series of numbers, even Qin Hui and the others could not think of any reason to send troops.
"very good."
Zhao Kai was very excited. If Jiangnan is not moving, it means that the family's wealth has not been touched yet. If the family's wealth is not touched, they can send 200,000 troops. How can you not be excited?
Qin Hui suddenly asked: "I wonder when the emperor plans to send troops?"
Zhao Kai pondered for a moment and said: "It depends on Xixia. Currently Xixia has not come to ask for help, which means that they are not in desperate situation yet. Let them consume and consume. When Xixia is dying, we will send troops to rescue. In this way,
We can hold Xixia in our hands in one fell swoop."
Mao Shu suddenly said: "But Your Majesty, after all, we are allies with the Kingdom of Jin. Could it be that just because a fleet disappeared and we broke the alliance with the Kingdom of Jin without any evidence? This is a bit inappropriate."
Zhao Kai said: "That's enough. Didn't the Jin army rely on the surrender of a surrendered general when they went south? That was just one person. There are thousands of people here. However, before that, we will continue to entangle with the Jin country.
, we must make this matter even bigger, so---." When he said this, he suddenly looked at Li Qi and said: "Privy Councilor, I hope you can go to Laizhou immediately to deal with this matter. Of course, this is just
An excuse, the key is to let Zongze and the others understand the court's purpose and set up a good strategy."
Qin Hui's eyes suddenly flashed a few times and his mouth trembled a few times, but in the end he remained silent.
"I obey my orders."
In fact, just when Zhao Kai decided to send troops, Li Qi had already expected that he would have to leave Beijing.
.......
.......
Privy Councilor's Office.
"Bang!"
When Bai Qiannuo learned that Li Qi was leaving Beijing, he couldn't help but be startled. The teacup he was supposed to pass to Li Qi also fell to the ground and broke into several pieces. "How---how so fast?"
Li Qi sighed: "This battle directly determines who is the great country in the Central Plains, and also determines the status of the Song Dynasty, the Jin Kingdom, Xixia, Goryeo, and Japan. The implications are huge and there is no room for failure, so I must make arrangements in advance."
Bai Qiannuo looked very frightened and said, "But--but I'm still pregnant. If you leave, what will happen to the capital?"
Li Qidao: "I have already arranged this. I am just going ahead of time. It will take at least one or two years. The time is enough, but I think it is difficult for you to take care of the overall situation by yourself. You may need a helper."
Bai Qiannuo thought for a moment and said distressedly: "Help? Where can I find help?"
Among Li Qi's wives, only Bai Qiannuo and Zhao Jingyan can take charge of their own affairs. Yelv Guxu is still a little behind in politics, and Zhao Jingyan went to Japan again, leaving Bai Qiannuo alone in the capital. You can imagine the pressure.
Know.
Li Qidao: "Mother-in-law."
"My mother?"
Bai Qiannuo exclaimed.
Li Qi nodded and said: "Yes, you will tell them sooner or later anyway, but everything is still unknown now. It is better not to let them know for the time being. When the time is right, you should tell your mother about it and let her
Let me help you share some of the pressure." Li Qi still had full confidence in this mother-in-law, and it was just a matter of whether she was willing to help.
Bai Qiannuo thought for a moment, nodded and said, "That's all we can do." Then she asked, "Husband, what are our chances of winning this battle?"
Li Qi shook his head and said: "I don't know about this. After all, our opponents are not weak, but this is a national war between the Three Kingdoms or even the Six Kingdoms. The battle is about national strength. Our Song Dynasty soldiers are well-prepared and have high human and financial resources."
The opponent has more than one advantage, and as long as nothing unexpected happens, our chances of winning should be greater, but, alas, what happens on the battlefield cannot be explained clearly by a bunch of numbers."
At this time, Aunt Chen's voice suddenly sounded outside, "Auntie, shopkeeper Wu, Xiaoyu, and Anan are here."
"Let them in."
"yes."
After a while, Wu Furong and three others entered the room.
Li Qi stretched out his hand and said: "Everyone, please sit down."
After they sat down, Li Qi said again: "I will leave Beijing soon and go to Laizhou to deal with the disappearance of the fleet. It may take a long time. During this period, all the affairs of the Zuixian Group will be taken care of by Qiniang."
Wu Furong said hurriedly: "White Lady is pregnant now, so she can't work too hard. Isn't Xiaoyu doing a good job?"
Li Qi smiled and said: "Uncle Wu is worrying too much. Qiniang will definitely take over the Zuixian Group after she has given birth. You guys must remember that Qiniang's words represent my words. No matter what decision it is, you will
You must obey unconditionally, even if she asks you to throw all your money into the sea, do you understand?"
Xiaoyu and the other three looked at each other with confusion in their eyes, but seeing Li Qi's serious face, they didn't dare to ask any more questions. Xiaoyu nodded and said, "Brother, please don't worry, we will listen to White Snake in everything."
"very good."
Li Qi nodded and said: "Also, after I leave, Zuixian Group will start to slowly close its business and stop expanding its business. There are wars everywhere now. If you are not careful, you may suffer heavy losses. Just
Just like last time, I lost tens of thousands of dollars in the blink of an eye, and I still have to wait until I come back to make new plans."
"Yes, we understand."
...
...
That night, Li Qi did not tell Feng Yinu and the others that he was leaving Beijing, so during dinner, Feng Yinu continued to tease him and the meal was very lively.
"Ouch, I feel a little full after eating."
After dinner, Li Qi stretched and said to Feng Yinu and Bai Qiannuo: "Madams, let's go for a walk in the garden."
Bai Qiannuo suddenly said: "It's boring to go to the garden. How about we go for a walk by the Bian River. I haven't been out for a long time and I'm almost bored to death."
Li Qi's eyes lit up and he said, "That's fine."
But Feng Yinu shook his head repeatedly and said: "You go ahead, I won't go."
Li Qi pretended to be surprised and said: "Why?"
Feng Yinu said with a depressed look on his face: "I'm so fat, so I don't have the nerve to go out!"
Li Qi let out a long sigh and said, "I understand. It turns out that you are afraid that your admirers will be shocked when they see you now and lose their admiration for you."
"What followers?" Feng Yinu curled his lips and said, "I don't care anymore. I'm just afraid that you think I'll embarrass you."
Li Qidao: "How is it possible? I will take you to Xiangguo Temple tomorrow. With you by my side, you can make me more handsome!"
Feng Yinu was stunned for a moment, suddenly realized, and said angrily: "You---you are seeking death!"
Li Qi laughed and ran out of the door long ago. Then he shouted inside: "Qiniang, hurry up."
"I'm pregnant."
"Oh. Slow down, slow down."
Li Qi's face tightened and he shouted again: "Madam, Red Slave. Are you going?"
Wang Yao snorted angrily and said, "Just go with Qiniang." She thought to herself, are you really embarrassed to have so many women surrounding you?
...
...
Li Qi took Qiniang to the first sweet water lane in the southeast corner.
Of course, they didn't come on foot, but in a carriage.
"U---!"
Ma Qiao stopped the carriage and said again: "The Privy Envoy has arrived."
Li Qi said cautiously: "Is there anyone following you?"
A moment of silence!
Li Qi said angrily: "I'm sorry, I insulted you."
Ma Qiao said: "It's okay, I'm used to it."
Damn! You are taking it seriously. Li Qi wanted to argue with him, but Bai Qiannuo gently pulled his sleeve and said, "Okay, business is more important."
When Li Qi got out of the carriage, he glared at Ma Qiao and said, "I'll settle the score with you later."
Ma Qiao asked curiously: "Chinese attack, or martial arts?"
"I---."
Li Qi just wanted to slap this guy in the face, but when he saw Bai Qiannuo coming out, he hurriedly jumped out of the carriage and helped Bai Qiannuo out of the carriage.
Ma Qiao jumped out of the carriage and took Li Qi and his wife to a darker place on the left.
At this time, there was a small cargo ship parked on the shore. There was a man standing on the shore. Seeing Li Qi coming, he hurriedly went up to meet him and said, "I see you here, little man."
Li Qi hummed and said, "Are everyone here?"
"As far as I can tell you, the Privy Envoy has already arrived."
Li Qi nodded, and then helped Bai Qiannuo get on the boat. As soon as they got on the boat, the boat started and sailed slowly out of the city.
Inside the cabin, the lights were bright, and there were more than ten people sitting inside, including men and women, some Taoist priests, some bald, and some dressed like beggars, but they were all about the same age. It was a mixed bag, probably between thirty and forty years old.
.
"The little man met the Privy Councilor and met the Madam."
As soon as Li Qi and his wife came in, they all stood up and saluted with clasped fists.
"Everyone, please sit down."
After hearing a rustling sound, everyone sat down again, with Li Qi and Bai Qiannuo sitting on the upper seats.
Li Qi glanced at it and said with a smile: "Qiniang, these are the elite people I always give you in advance."
How embarrassing!
I saw more than ten people lowering their heads in unison. We looked like elites, weren't we just a bunch of traffickers and lackeys?
Li Qidao: "What are you doing? What are you doing? You don't even have this little self-confidence. I said you are elites. You are elites. Keep your heads up."
"yes."
Everyone immediately raised their heads and acted upright.
This group of guys. Li Qi gave a wry smile, stretched out his hand to a middle-aged uncle next to him, and promised Bai Qian: "Qiniang, this is the trusted manager, called Yuzhuang, who is currently in charge of the area south of the Yangtze River."
Originally, when Nan Bowan was here, he was in charge of the paparazzi all over the country, but after Nan Bowan left, Li Qi chose to divide the administration. Nan Botu was in charge of the south of the Yangtze River, and Yuzhuang was in charge of the south of the Yangtze River. There was no difference.
The reason is that the two of them are not as capable as that bastard Nambovan, and they cannot manage it alone.
Next, Li Qi introduced Bai Qiannuo one by one.
After Li Qi finished the introduction, Bai Qiannuo stood up with a big belly, holding a cup of tea and said: "I have often heard your name from my husband before, and I was very curious. When I saw you today, it was indeed well-deserved. If I had known you beforehand,
I don’t know, I definitely wouldn’t have guessed that all of you are just dressing up, so I would like to propose a toast to you all.”
"How dare you, how dare you."
"This is what we should respect our ladies."
"Yes, yes, yes, the White Lady's name is like thunder, and she and the Privy Councilor are really talented and beautiful, a match made in heaven."
"Hey, you are so knowledgeable, what you said is so apt."
"Everywhere, everywhere, the privy ministers are all teaching well and teaching well."
This group of bastards immediately showed their true colors, nodding and bowing, with flattering expressions on their faces. Li Qi was sweating coldly at the sight. Are these really a group of elites?
After they finished the drink, Li Qi coughed lightly and said very seriously: "You are the first group of people I selected from the guard horses. You are the people I trust most and the people I can trust the most. We
We have gone through many difficulties, large and small, and those who are not strong enough have been eliminated. Those sitting here now are worthy of recognition for their strength."
Yu Zhuang said hurriedly: "We are here today only because of your appreciation. Everything we have now is given by you. We will follow you to the death."
The rest of the people said in unison: "We will follow you to the death."
"Very good. With your words, I feel relieved."
Li Qi smiled and asked: "How are you preparing for what I asked you to prepare?"
Yu Zhuang immediately said: "Everything is ready."
Li Qi nodded and said: "I will leave the capital soon. At that time, everything in the capital will be taken over by Qiniang. Her orders are my orders and must not be disobeyed. Otherwise, I won't say anything else, and neither will you."
Follow me on the first day.”
"I will obey the orders of my lord, and everything will be done according to my wife's instructions."
A group of people said in unison again.
Next, Li Qi explained the details of the entire team's operation to Bai Qiannuo, including some secret codes and so on.
By the time the boat wandered around outside and returned to No. 1 Sweetwater Lane, the meeting was over.
At this time, it was already the second watch.
Inside the carriage.
Li Qijiang hugged Bai Qiannuo and said with concern, "You must be tired."
Bai Qiannuo shook her head and asked, "Husband, can you really trust those people?"
Li Qidao: "They are all selected by me. I have investigated even the eighteenth generation of their ancestors, and everything about them is under my surveillance. There will be no problems. However, Ma Qiao may have to go with me."
Go, Meimei will take over from Ma Qiao then, you only need to convey the news to Meimei, there is no need to show up in person, and I will leave the drunkard here to protect you."
Bai Qiannuo nodded and said, "I understand. Husband, this expedition is very dangerous, so you must be careful."
Li Qi k
In ten years, I really can’t think of a single reason for failure.”
