Qin Hui, who was born as a Jinshi, really couldn't adapt to this title, but the person standing in front of him was his immediate superior. He was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Sir, what should we do next?"
Sir? Haha, the great traitor Qin Hui actually called me Sir, how ironic it is. Li Qi laughed and said: "You came up with this method, you should know how to do it."
Qin Hui shook his head and said: "Your Majesty is laughing, and I know that your Majesty already has a plan in mind. Even if your Majesty doesn't tell me, I will definitely have a way to convince the Emperor."
Li Qi raised his brows and thought to himself, this guy is really capable. In fact, Qin Hui was right. Li Qi and Qin Hui had the same idea on this point. Even if Qin Hui didn't say anything, Li Qi would have ended up in this way.
He laughed and said, "Scholars are just different."
Qin Hui chuckled and said, "Your Excellency, that's a compliment."
Li Qi hummed and said seriously: "I need to rest for a while."
"Oh! What? How many days of rest?"
Qin Hui couldn't believe his ears. He knew that if this method could work, then he and Li Qi would definitely be promoted to a higher position. However, he never expected that Li Qi would choose to take a vacation at this juncture. This is simply shocking.
Can't understand.
Li Qi smiled and said: "I am also a human being. I just came back from the Kingdom of Jin. I am tired from the long journey. Otherwise, the emperor would not send you to assist me, so I will have to trouble you in the past two days."
After hearing this, Qin Hui couldn't help but be overjoyed. Li Qi's words were obviously meant to delegate power to him. He hurriedly raised his hands and said, "I don't dare, this is what I should do. Just tell me."
Li Qi said with a smile: "Let's do this. Later I will make a promotional sheet about the Cuju Alliance's treatment and our advantages. You can use it to select talents in various government agencies. As for the effect, it depends on you.
You have the ability, but you have to remember, you don’t need to deal with those above level six, because it will only be a waste of energy and manpower.”
Qin Hui nodded and said: "Xiaoguan understands that I will definitely complete the task."
Li Qi hummed, then suddenly put away his smile and said seriously: "Qin Xuezheng, I still have to remind you of something."
Qin Hui was stunned for a moment, then said: "Please give me some advice."
Li Qi said sternly: "You are a smart man, so I won't give you any nonsense. Now we are on the cusp of the storm. The civil and military officials in the court, including the emperor, are looking at us. If this matter is done well,
From then on, you will definitely rise to the top, but if you have selfish intentions and are caught, huh, then we will die holding each other. Oh, no, maybe I just changed my assistant, so you have to be careful
Remember, don’t cause trouble for me, and do everything according to the rules, otherwise I will deal with you without the need for the emperor to take action. I never joke in official business."
Qin Hui's heart trembled, and beads of sweat could not help but appear on his forehead. He bowed hurriedly and said: "Please rest assured, sir. I am willing to serve you, and I will try my best to complete this mission."
During the conversation, the two of them had already left the palace gate.
"With your words, I feel relieved."
Li Qi glanced to the left out of the corner of his eye, with a smile on his face, patted his shoulder, and said: "That's it for now. Come to the guard tomorrow morning and we'll talk in detail later. I'll leave first."
"Sir, please walk slowly."
Li Qi nodded like a leader, and then walked towards the carriage parked on the road. When he got closer, he held his hand and said, "Captain."
Gao Qiu's voice came from inside, "Come up."
"yes."
After Li Qi got on, the carriage slowly left.
Qin Hui stared at the carriage going away with a complicated expression. Just the simple words of the young man who was less than thirty years old made him feel a strong pressure invisibly.
In fact, the reason why he chose to stand up and say those words for Li Qi was simply because Li Qi was a good person. Now in the court, Wang Fu, Li Bangyan and others are all full-fledged, how can they look down on him as a small student?
Yes, but Li Qi is different. Although Li Qi is not as good as Wang Fu and others now, he is a popular person in front of the emperor. And after this reform, his status will have a qualitative change, and he will also be in the court.
Having a place on the stand, it is conceivable that those reformers will slowly move closer to Li Qi, and choosing Li Qi at this time is undoubtedly the best and only choice.
Little did he know that Li Qi hated him very much in his heart, but it was also because he was still young and it was the right time to employ people. Otherwise, it would be his turn to do nothing.
On the carriage.
Gao Qiu laughed and said, "You are really unfathomable. You made everything so messy the first time you went to court. I'm convinced by you."
Li Qi said with a smile: "The captain has given me a reward. I have no choice but to do this as a subordinate."
"Don't do this to me." Gao Qiu raised his hand and feigned anger: "I'm not blind. Anyone with eyesight can see this. You prepared it carefully and even pulled me into the trap. But
, I don’t blame you, because I also agree with what you said about enriching the country through business. Don’t worry, whether it is the Cuju Alliance or the Hongwan Gambling House, I will fully support you. Whoever you want to recruit and how much treatment you want to give, I have full authority.
I'll leave it to you, don't ask me."
Li Qizhen was flattered, but then he realized that if the reform was successful, then the Cuju Alliance and all its industries would come to the fore and receive more attention, and his status would be greatly improved.
Even in business, he can consolidate his position as the richest businessman in Tokyo. He smiled and said: "Thank you for your support, Taiwei. I am really grateful."
Gao Qiu nodded and said seriously: "But don't get carried away. Since ancient times, all those who want to change the law are people with great talents, which are beyond the reach of you and me. However, few of them have good results, because
The reform will definitely change the situation, which will involve the interests of many people, even that person, so you must be careful and try to avoid these problems, otherwise, you will be in danger and no one will be able to save you.
.”
Li Qi knew that the person he was talking about was the emperor. In fact, he had also considered this, but some things were bound to happen. This was also a major challenge for Tai's reform. He humbly asked for advice: "I will bear in mind the Taiwei's teachings.
Please also ask the Taiwei to provide some advice for the officer."
Gao Qiu rolled his eyes at him and said, "You are as smart as a monkey, and you still need me to teach you."
You are just like a monkey. Li Qi felt a little dissatisfied with this metaphor in his heart. But he smiled and said: "After all, I don't have enough skills as a low-ranking official. Please give me some advice from the Taiwei."
Seeing his sincere expression of asking for advice, Gao Qiu smiled slightly and said, "I have a way that may reduce your obstacles."
Sure enough, there is a backup plan! Li Qi hurriedly said: "Captain, please tell me."
Gao Qiu said: "As you just said, farming is also business, and business is also farming. For those scholar-bureaucrats, it is not the same. They are the people who just stood in the hall to oppose you. None of their families have much property.
Take the governor of Kaifeng as an example. If you go and take a look behind the government office in Kaifeng, you will see that there are hundreds of acres of vegetable fields. Whose land does that belong to? It’s just that they didn’t come forward. Of course, some scholar-officials have different ideas.
It's old-fashioned, but their descendants don't think so. You can start in this area. As long as their interests are promoted, then your resistance will naturally be much smaller. Those who used to change the law either ignored these
People either ignore the people. Therefore, they will not succeed. If you want to succeed, you must find a compromise. Since you said this method can enrich the country and the people, then help them get rich together."
Yes, logically speaking, they are all businessmen. Who despises whom? Damn me, why didn't I think of it just now? Sure enough, Jiang is still hotter. Li Qi's eyes lit up and he smiled and said: "Thank you, Lieutenant, for your advice."
.”
Gao Qiu waved his hand and said: "This is nothing. Many people understand this truth, but it is very difficult to do it. Also, your current status is no longer what it used to be, and many people will rely on you in the future.
Here, you must not be as careless as before. You must be careful and cautious in your words and deeds, especially your hair. I have wanted to tell you for a long time. Look at you like this. A monk is not a monk.
If a scholar is not a scholar, how can he be decent?" He was extremely excited after saying this.
Ri. I didn't see you being so excited when we were talking about business, and my hair didn't bother you. Li Qi could tell that he seemed to have been holding back his resentment for a long time, and said sarcastically: "Lieutenant, I used to be a cook."
Gao Qiu said angrily: "A cook shouldn't be like this. You must change it for me."
"Oh. How about I tell you what disease I have and whether my hair will grow anymore?"
Gao Qiu laughed angrily at him and scolded him: "I want you to keep your hair in a bun, it's like killing you. Why don't you tell me that you have an incurable disease and you will be buried tomorrow. Go down, go down, I
Now I feel upset when I see your hair, so hurry up and get down."
Sweating! Don't wait for such a miserable person. Li Qi scratched his hair and said depressedly: "Oh, I'll take my leave now."
Li Qi jumped down from the carriage dejectedly and watched Gao Qiu walk away. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. It seemed that he had to walk back. But when he arrived at Bianhe Street, he suddenly saw a dark crowd.
He rushed towards him, making him tremble with fright, but he was blocked by someone. Just as he was about to run away, he heard someone shout again: "Master Li, Master Li."
After taking a closer look, he couldn't help but be stunned. Huh? Aren't these the shopkeepers of the Zuixianju chain store?
Before he could react, the shopkeepers surrounded them and started shouting.
"Master Li, you are finally back."
"Yes, since you left, our business has gone from bad to worse day by day."
"It's all Jinlou's fault. It was Jinlou who took away our business."
"Master Li, have you heard about Jinlou's cured meat? How about I tell you about it?"
I mean, your sister. Li Qi was so quarreled by them that he yelled, "That's enough."
The shopkeepers were so frightened that they trembled and fell silent.
Li Qi glanced at them and said: "Stand away a little, you guys will take away the air."
Everyone was stunned for a moment and took two steps back.
Li Qi sighed and said: "Everyone, I have just come back now. Can you please let me take a breather? And you can go find White Snake. Do you need to block me on the road?"
One person said depressedly: "Although the white lady is as beautiful as a flower and is proficient in poetry, lyrics and songs, she doesn't know how to do business. It's not like we haven't looked for her, but every time she says let us take a moment.
Don't be impatient and be patient first. Isn't this the same as not saying anything? Master Li, you won't really leave your business to White Snake and go to Dali, will you?"
Li Qi frowned and glanced at the man, and said: "What White Snake means is what I mean. If you want to ask me what to do now, I just want you to be patient and wait for a few days, so you have to be kind to White Snake."
Full confidence, you will do whatever she says. But you can also rest assured, because you are good, we will be good, so we will never let it go. So, you go back for now, I promise you
, within a month, your business will pick up."
After hearing this, everyone was filled with joy. In fact, Bai Qiannuo had also told them this, but they didn't believe Bai Qiannuo. But now that Li Qi said it, they believed it deeply in their hearts and handed over their hands one after another.
Farewell.
This group of guys. Li Qi shook his head, and just as he turned around, he suddenly heard someone shouting from behind: "Brother Li, Brother Li."
Turning around, he saw Chen Anan riding a carriage heading this way, and Zhang Run'er sitting next to him. Before Li Qi could react, a pretty face suddenly appeared in the car window.
Li Qi suddenly said in surprise: "Red slave." (To be continued...)
