"Haha, you're fine, Economic Envoy." Zhang Bangchang stood up, held his hands towards Li Qi and said with a smile.
Zhang Bangchang was the biggest rebel in the Northern Song Dynasty. During the Jingkang period, when the Jin army came over, he strongly recommended seeking peace, which coincided with the weak Song Qinzong's ideas. Song Qinzong even regarded him as a confidant and promoted him to the position of Dazai. He could even
It is said that he was a representative figure of the capitulation faction in the Song court at that time. Later, Song Qinzong also listened to him, and such a tragedy happened. After the Jin Kingdom fell to the Northern Song Dynasty, he also served as a puppet emperor for a short period of time.
Li Qi bowed his hand in return and said with a smile: "It turns out to be Zhang Zhongshu, polite, polite."
He had met Zhang Bangchang several times when he was in court, but he was not familiar with him. Yes, Zhang Bangchang was indeed a powerful figure, but Li Qi really didn't take Zhang Bangchang seriously. Firstly, it was because of the fact that he was the Minister of Zhongshu.
The position is equivalent to deputy prime minister. Although his status is equal to Li Qi, he has no real power. Of course, Song Huizong also likes him, but Li Qi is more favored. When Zhang Bangchang really gains power, it will have to wait until Zhao Huan
After taking the throne, the situation has become complicated and confusing, so Li Qi hasn't paid much attention to Zhang Bangchang for the time being. After all, dealing with Wang Fu and others is already a headache for him, and he doesn't want to make any more powerful enemies. And the most important thing is
One point is that when Li Qi increased trade between the Song Dynasty and Jin Dynasty, as well as the subsequent economic reforms, Zhang Bangchang gave him verbal support.
Qin Hui also saluted and said, "Your Majesty, Qin Hui, has met Mr. Zhongshu."
"Qin Xuezheng doesn't need to be polite, he doesn't need to be polite," Zhang Bangchang said kindly.
"Hey, Wang Yanei is here too. I heard that Prime Minister Wang was ill a few days ago. I originally wanted to visit him, but I couldn't spare the time. I wonder how the Prime Minister is coming?" Li Qi smiled at Wang Xuan'en again.
This first sentence made Wang Xuanen angry to death. You must know that Wang Fu's illness was all caused by Li Qi. He gritted his teeth and smiled and said: "Thank you to the economic envoy for your concern. Dad is fine."
It seems that there is still a gap between me and Mr. Kong Ming. It is not easy to make someone angry to death. Li Qi sighed secretly, but smiled and said: "That's good, that's good."
Zhang Chuner stretched out his hand and said: "Sir, please take a seat quickly."
Li Qi chuckled and said, "This is not good. If it disturbs a few of us from talking about business, then Li Qi would be really guilty. I'd better come back next time."
This person is really hypocritical. Zhang Bangchang cursed secretly, but said with a smile: "The economic envoy is too ignorant. Besides, we are not talking about anything serious. Come on, come on, please take a seat."
Zhang Chun'er also said: "Yes, yes, you two adults, please take a seat."
"Then---then it's better for me to respect you and obey your orders."
Li Qi winked at Qin Hui. The two sat down.
Zhang Chun'er immediately ordered someone to watch the tea, then sat at the end of the table and asked with a smile: "I wonder if the economic envoy came to visit me. What do you want me to do?"
"That's not an order, I just want to ask Madam Zhang about something." Li Qi said with a smile.
Zhang Bangchang smiled and said, "Do you need me and Xuan En to avoid this?"
You are really hypocritical. Li Qi hurriedly said: "No, no, just a routine inquiry. Little things, little things, Zhang Zhongshu should not offend this junior."
Zhang Chun'er smiled and said, "Sir, just ask, the daughter of the people will definitely tell you everything she knows."
Li Qi coughed lightly and said, "That's right. I wonder if Mrs. Zhang has ever heard of the recently promulgated law on commercial support by the imperial court, as well as the economic cooperation between the Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty."
Zhang Chun'er nodded and said: "Of course I know about this, so I went to find out more about it. Economically, this move has really benefited our merchants in the Song Dynasty, and the women of the people are also very grateful."
Li Qi nodded and said: "That's good. Madam Zhang, have you heard about the entrepreneurship conference held by the Commerce Bureau recently?"
Zhang Chun'er nodded and said, "The women of the people also know this."
"Does Mrs. Zhang have any opinions on this entrepreneurship conference?" Li Qixiao asked.
Zhang Chun'er was stunned, shook his head and said, "I don't know why your Excellency asked this question. Is there something wrong with what a civilian girl did?"
Li Qi waved his hand and said: "Ms. Zhang, don't worry too much. I just saw that Ms. Zhang didn't show up and I didn't send anyone. So I came here specifically to ask. Ms. Zhang's status among our Bianjing merchants is very important now. I
You have to treat it with caution."
"Your Excellency, you have given me the reward."
"I never say those hypocritical words in official business. I don't know if there is any dispute between Zuixianju and Jinlou, but I think that even if there is, we should focus on the overall situation." Li Qi raised his hand and said.
Except for Ma Qiao, everyone else is honest and hypocritical.
Zhang Chun'er smiled and said: "Your Majesty, your words are serious. Your shop and the small shop have always been in peace, so how can we celebrate the festival? Moreover, the women of the people have always supported the reform of the Lord, and even took the lead. However, the women of the people are not good at words, so they can only prove it with actions.
.”
"That's really the best thing. I just like to speak with actions." Li Qi smiled and changed the topic: "But I don't know that Mrs. Zhang has done some righteous deeds that I don't know about."
"You should never take an act of righteousness seriously." Zhang Chun'er shook his head and suddenly said: "But I have some humble opinions on your economic construction, and I don't know whether to take it seriously or not."
"But it doesn't matter."
Zhang Chun'er said sternly: "I thought that the merchants in our capital city have shown the trend of letting a hundred flowers bloom, and the richest merchants in the Song Dynasty are all here in the capital city. Therefore, I think you should focus on the whole country. I am not afraid of your jokes, a daughter of the people."
Reluctantly, in order to support your reforms, I have opened more than ten branches north of the Yangtze River in recent days, hoping to drive economic operation according to your ideas. Although this approach is a bit reckless, I think it is
worth it."
"Oh? Is there anything else?"
"Don't you know, sir?"
"I really don't know about this. If that's the case, I'd be really grateful. But isn't it too reckless to do this? Madam Zhang, can you take care of me?"
"It all depends on people. Besides, since the imperial court has recently attached great importance to business, it is just the right time to open a branch at this time."
Wang Xuanen suddenly asked: "I wonder if the economic envoy agrees with Madam Zhang's statement."
Li Qi smiled and said: "I absolutely agree that our Commerce Bureau just lacks talents like Madam Zhang."
Wang Xuanen chuckled: "What's the problem? Why don't you ask Madam Zhang to go to the Bureau of Commerce to help you."
Li Qi was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said: "It's a joke in the office. Madam Zhang has a huge fortune, how can she care about that small business bureau?"
Zhang Chun'er said: "If your Excellency thinks highly of the women of the people, the women of the people are willing to give it a try. Your financial resources are more than a thousand times stronger than those of the women of the people, but you are still willing to use actions to serve the court. Although Zhang Chun'er is not as good as you, he is the same as you."
idea.”
Good guy, you are really straightforward. Li Qi smiled and said: "But in the Song Dynasty, there is no precedent for women to serve as officials!"
Wang Xuan'en said: "What's so difficult about this? The right way is to promote talents without avoiding relatives. This is a big matter, so why bother to stick to small details. If the economic envoy is unwilling to come forward, I can ask my father to find a way."
Li Qi waved his hand and said, "The Prime Minister will never agree."
“Why is the economy so sure?”
Li Qi said with a smile: "It's very simple. Youdao is not in his position and does not seek political affairs. The Commerce Bureau is an independent department. If Wang Xiang interferes, it will inevitably lead to people gossiping."
As soon as Wang Xuanen heard the word "independent department", he remembered the position of the Ordnance Supervisor, and he hated it with itch. He sneered: "It seems that the economy still makes you unwilling."
Just kidding, you want to plant a flag on my territory, can I agree? You must have underestimated my IQ.
Before Li Qi opened his mouth, Qin Hui suddenly said: "Wang Yanei misunderstood you. In fact, you have other reasons for doing this."
Wang Xuanen raised his long eyebrows and said, "Oh? I'd like to hear the details."
His tone was domineering. Although he had no official position, his father was now so powerful that anyone who saw him would give him a thumbs up, let alone an unknown little official like Qin Hui.
Qin Hui explained with a smile: "The yamen may not know yet, but one of the most important points in your reform is that officials and businessmen should perform their respective duties and work together to enrich the country and the people. Not to mention that Mrs. Zhang is a woman. Even if she is a woman.
He is a man, and your Excellency will not let him go to the Bureau of Commerce. It is undeniable that Mrs. Zhang’s business skills are obvious to all, and she can play a leading role. In this case, how can we, Your Excellency, let her exploit her weaknesses and avoid her strengths.
Abandoning business and becoming an official is also contrary to the purpose of the reform. Having said that, in fact, if Mrs. Zhang is determined to support your reform, it would be more appropriate for her to participate as a businessman rather than as an executor. If she has any good intentions, she can
You can come to the Commerce Bureau to discuss with us. If Mrs. Zhang’s opinion is useful, our Lord will definitely adopt it, and the cooperation between the two parties can also set an example. I think this is your Lord’s original intention.”
Damn it! This guy is really a political genius. He can make so many senses out of such a big deal. I am not as good as you. Li Qi chuckled: "What Qin Xuezheng said is right. Government and business are only part of it. In fact, I value it more."
Cooperation between the government and the people.”
Then how could Wang Xuanen be Qin Hui's opponent? These words silenced him.
A flash of disappointment also flashed in Zhang Chun'er's eyes.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little awkward, Zhang Bangchang laughed and said: "Well said, well said. Qin Xuezheng's words can be said to be the essence of the economic reform. I also very much support the economic reform."
Li Qi smiled and said: "Zhang Zhongshu spoke out in support of me in court again and again. I will bear this in mind."
Zhang Chuner said half-jokingly: "You may not know something, but Lord Zhongshu is actually not just talking, he is also using actions to support the economic reforms. To be honest, Lord Zhongshu invested some money in the
A small shop, now he can be regarded as half a businessman."
Zhang Bangchang was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Mrs. Zhang, it's better not to talk about such trivial matters, lest the economy make a joke."
Li Qi was also stunned, and then he said in astonishment: "Is there such a thing? I'd like to hear about it."
Zhang Bangchang waved his hands and said: "I just want to do my best. It's not worth mentioning. It's not worth mentioning."
Zhang Chun'er added: "I can't help but Mr. Zhang, even Wang Yanei is very supportive of your reform."
Li Qi glanced at Wang Xuanen and said, "So, Wang Yanei also invested money in Jinlou?"
Wang Xuanen chuckled and said, "I also want to cooperate with the economic envoy to do business, but I'm afraid the economic envoy won't be willing."
Li Qi laughed and said: "Where, where, the office is joking." But he said in his heart, of course I don't want to.
Wang Xuanen suddenly said in a serious tone: "The economic envoy must also know that since the beginning, my father has been very supportive of the economic envoy's reform. As a father, he is the young prime minister, so he naturally has to set an example, so this move has no other purpose. I just want to support it."
Economic Envoy.”
Zhang Chun'er added: "That's not all. In order to support your economic construction concept, Sir Zhang and Wang Xiang also introduced several nobles and common women of the Jin Kingdom a few days ago. We had a very pleasant negotiation and signed a cooperative relationship.
"
Li Qi was completely stunned. He knew that there must be someone in the court supporting Zhang Chun'er, and he also knew that Zhang Chun'er was supported by a golden man, but he never thought that Zhang Chun'er would reveal everything today. He understood after thinking for a moment.
Well, what Zhang Chun'er used was nothing more than a trick to use force. If she spoke out about the matter at this point in time, the nature would be completely different. From the books, everything she did was to support Li Qi's reform.
Not only can you not blame her, you must also reward her.
These simple words made everything that could only be done in secret become more legal.
Thinking of this, Li Qi could only smile bitterly in his heart. Unexpectedly, I was sent to his door and was tricked. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is mine.
