Coincidentally, news came from the forward sentry that the Jin envoys would arrive in the last day or two of July, so Song Huizong arranged the flag-raising ceremony on the first day of August.
This date made Li Qi very emotional. In later generations, August 1st would be Army Day, and a military parade would be held on Army Day. It would be perfect. Li Qi felt that all this was God's will. Since it was God's will, he
I believe God will help him too.
However, Youdao means that people make plans and God makes things happen. Your own efforts are still indispensable.
As the day draws closer, the training of the Dragon Guard Army and the Divine Guard Army becomes more and more frequent. Everyone is beaten to death, but they still respond with incomparable enthusiasm every day, for no other reason than to be able to serve under the Emperor.
Just thinking about appearing in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, as well as fellow villagers and elders makes people feel excited.
However, the Forbidden Army members who were not qualified to participate in this military parade felt unhappy, especially the Imperial Guards. They were the leaders of the Forbidden Army, but this military parade had nothing to do with them. The entire army actually
No one attended.
This is the first time since the founding of the Song Dynasty.
There were also complaints within the Dianqian Division. Faced with such pressure, He Guan could only go to Gao Qiu, hoping that the Dianqian Division could participate in the military parade. Gao Qiu was a former palace commander and had great affection for the Dianqian Division. Besides, he
The official position of Taiwei, the head of the three yamen, cannot favor one side or the other, so he has to find a balance. Therefore, he specially asked Li Qi for this matter. He did not say that He Guan had asked him, but he only said that he hoped that the front secretary of the palace could also participate.
.
This made Li Qi feel very embarrassed. He was not specifically targeting Dianqiansi. After all, he would have to take action on this "cake" sooner or later. However, Dianqiansi was not under his control.
After learning it in such a short period of time, the two of them discussed it and decided to let the front department send out light cavalry and heavy cavalry, so as to avoid disharmony.
As for the arrangement of the generals, Li Qi asked Niu Gao to lead the heavy infantry camp, while Yue Fei led the cavalry and archery army. In addition, Zhao Kai, whose temperament changed drastically, wanted to lead the light cavalry army. Li Qi was speechless about this. Your dignified prince came here.
He wanted to join in the fun, but he did not dare to make his own decision, so he asked Zhao Kai to go to the emperor. As a result, Song Huizong really agreed to Zhao Kai.
Early this morning, Li Qi wandered around the military camps again, making surprise inspections of their morning exercises. He had been walking around almost every day in the past few days. Fortunately, the soldiers were now very enthusiastic and did not let him go in vain.
After coming out of the military camp, Li Qi went to the group company again, because August 1st was not just a military parade, the key was the flag-raising ceremony. After the date and military parade were decided, Li Qi began to increase publicity efforts.
The first thing he did was to once again change the Song Dynasty Times Magazine and temporarily cancel the story section. It was used to promote the national flag. Now, almost the entire page of the Song Dynasty Times Weekly is about the activities on the first day of August, except for the economic section.
Change, after all, economic reform is the top priority.
However, this has also been bombarded by many people. They have no objection to the promotion of the national flag and military parades. The only thing they can't accept is that "Legend of the Condor Heroes" has stopped updating. This is simply an outrage among humans and gods.
In particular, the young masters headed by the fourth young master almost demolished Zuixianju. If Li Qi dared to appear in front of them, Gao Yanei would definitely use the Eighteen Palms of the Dragon.
In addition, Chai Cong was also uncharacteristically angry this time, because now he was talking about the owner of Peach Blossom Island, Dongxie Huang Yaoshi. It is undeniable that Dongxie is showing off, and there is no one who can match him in the entire Shooting Condor.
Chai Cong simply regarded him as a god, and stopping the update at this time would simply kill him.
In fact, Li Qi didn't want to stop updating, but the problem was that his gunman was in a mood some time ago, and he still can't find him. Fortunately, this incident gave him a reason to look for him, and he also made plans.
If Feng Yinu doesn't show up after August 1st passes, then he will shamelessly ask Mrs. Qin for help.
After coming out of the military camp, Li Qi went to the group company again.
When he came to the office, he found that the person sitting in his seat was not Bai Qiannuo, but Mrs. Qin. He couldn't help blurting out: "Madam? How did you come out?"
Mrs. Qin was a little confused by his question. She glanced at him lightly and asked, "Can't I come out?"
Ever since that night, Mrs. Qin was really on tenterhooks at first, fearing that Li Qi would make a big publicity. Fortunately, Li Qi was not so big-mouthed, but she still felt that she had some control in Li Qi's hands, which was very awkward.
"Yes, of course I can."
Li Qi suddenly pointed towards Mrs. Qin's office and said hey, "Can I go in too?"
Mrs. Qin said lightly: "Of course not."
"Madam, you are so fair. I admire you, I admire you."
Li Qi rolled his eyes and saw that Mrs. Qin didn't have the consciousness to get up, so he had to sit opposite her and said, "By the way, where is the Seventh Lady?"
Mrs. Qin said: "I just went out." She sighed again and said: "Since Qiniang has been with you, I haven't enjoyed anything. I have been running around all day, but you don't feel sorry for me at all."
"I'm not like you, madam. When I feel sorry for Qiniang, I won't let others see it."
Mrs. Qin was stunned and immediately said: "Thank you for having the nerve to say that you eavesdropped on me. How can you still be justified?"
Li Qi said aggrievedly: "How can this be said to be eavesdropping? The garden is a public place. You can talk there, but I can't poop there? I don't want to hear it, but you are crying and laughing, so I cover it up.
I can't even cover it up, my pure heart has been polluted."
Mrs. Qin's silver teeth were chattering, but she felt that she had no way to deal with this person, so she raised her hand and said, "Don't change the subject, we are talking about Qiniang now."
Li Qi shrugged and said: "I don't think there's anything wrong with it now. Is it possible to let her stay at home in a daze every day? What if she loses her mind someday and wants to become a nun? What should I do?
Is it possible that I will go to the nunnery to get married? Why are you staring at me? I'm not talking about you."
"You are shameless." Mrs. Qin is going crazy. Now whenever she meets Master Li, Master Li will definitely include the word "monk" or "master" in his ten sentences.
Li Qi said angrily: "Madam, can you use another word to praise me? This is the first time in my life that I have been annoyed by someone's compliments."
Mrs. Qin was so angry that she pointed toward the door and said, "Get out."
"better."
Seeing Mrs. Qin's furious look, Li Qi stood up habitually and exclaimed: "I can't walk." He turned around and walked out. As soon as he came out of the door, he suddenly reacted and glanced.
Opening his eyes, he cursed: "Damn! This is my office, isn't it?"
Li Qi immediately opened the door and walked in. When he saw the corner of Mrs. Qin's mouth twitching, she had obviously reacted and said depressedly: "Madam, this is my office. It's not the backyard of Zuixianju or the Qin Mansion. You
Why did you ask me to go out?"
Mrs. Qin raised her eyes and said calmly: "I asked you to get out again, but I didn't tell you to get out. You went there on your own, so you can't blame me."
"you."
Boom, boom, boom!
A knock on the door interrupted their conversation.
"Come in."
The door opened again, and Xiaoyu came in carrying a wooden box. She said happily: "Madam, Brother Li, a new version of the wood carving has come out. This is the style. Take a look."
As she spoke, she placed the wooden box in her hand on the table.
Li Qi couldn't help but be overjoyed. He had forgotten what happened just now and said, "This really comes at the right time."
The printing workshop that Li Qi acquired at the time further expanded its scale with the birth of the Song Dynasty Times Weekly. It has now become a printing factory, and it is also the largest printing factory in the Song Dynasty. However, the money Li Qi invested in it...
It's not a lot, but the profit is even greater, and he almost monopolizes the entire printing industry. Even the printing business of the imperial court was handed over to Li Qi's printing factory. It is no exaggeration to say that he is making money every day.
Li Qi took out a few and looked at them carefully, nodded and praised: "Not bad, really good."
Xiaoyu said: "This version has a total of 10,000 characters, and they are all commonly used."
Mrs. Qin nodded slightly and said: "This movable type printing technique is really wonderful. The person who can come up with this method must be a talented person."
Li Qi smiled and said: "This is all thanks to Qiniang, otherwise who would know about this thing? As for me, the person who invented this thing has to thank Qiniang. After all, it was Qiniang who promoted his movable type printing technology.
Open it up, carry it forward, and make it known to everyone.”
In fact, before Li Qi, movable type printing had not become popular at all, and it could even be said to be little known. This also resulted in high printing costs, but precisely because of this, there were huge benefits hidden in it. Li Qi naturally did not
He would let it go, so when he acquired the workshop, he renovated it at all costs, expanded its scale, and improved its technology.
Mrs. Qin looked at Li Qi's proud look, smiled, and said, "That's true. Girl Qiniang has always been very curious about new things. In this regard, Sister Li and I are not as good as her."
Li Qi nodded and said, "I can see that. But, I feel eh."
Speaking of this, he couldn't help but think of Mrs. Qin's words. He felt that it was quite awkward to say "I think" in front of Mrs. Qin.
Mrs. Qin pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "It doesn't matter if you say so. I'm used to it anyway."
"I just want to say that if you don't try something, you will never know whether it is suitable for you. Just like I used to ride in a carriage, I always feel that being a horse is more tiring, but now I am used to it.
I think riding a horse is pretty good too. Madam, you should teach Qiniang more about this."
Mrs. Qin smiled and said: "What you said is very reasonable. However, I think I could have agreed to cooperate with you at the beginning. There should be nothing in this world that I cannot accept and dare not try."
Xiaoyu's lips were tightly closed, and her face looked a little strange.
Sweating! What does this mean? Li Qi said depressedly: "Uh, madam, are you praising me or hurting me?"
Mrs. Qin said seriously: "I am just stating a fact."
"Then I'll take it as a compliment."
Li Qi smiled cheekily, coughed again, and said sternly to Xiaoyu: "Xiaoyu, you will go and give the instructions later. This month, each craftsman in the printing factory will receive an additional salary of one yuan. As for the manager, just two yuan."
"yes."
Li Qi nodded, as if he remembered something again, and said: "Let's do this. You and Anan will go to the printing factory later and tell the craftsmen personally about this. In addition, you want them to purchase printing raw materials in large quantities. Recruit more people."
Xiaoyu was stunned and said hurriedly: "Brother, have you forgotten that in the middle of this month, we have already purchased the raw materials for next month?"
"It's still too little."
Li Qi shook his head and said: "I plan to make a classic special issue for the national flag-raising ceremony on August 1st, and I plan to print 100,000 copies."
Mrs. Qin said in horror: "One hundred thousand copies? Why are you printing so many?"
Li Qi smiled and said: "I only plan to keep 20,000 copies in Tokyo. As for the remaining 80,000 copies, I plan to sell them all over the country. I will take advantage of this east wind to open printing plants all over the country. I also hope that soon In the future, we can change the Song Dynasty Times Weekly into Time Magazine and buy it all over the world, thus establishing the dominance of the Song Dynasty printing industry in the world in one fell swoop."
