At nine o'clock, the whole day's practice finally came to an imperfect end at this moment.
Both the Dragon Guard Army and the Divine Guard Army had arrived at their destination, but it was already dark when they arrived, so Li Qi was still not very satisfied with this and immediately scolded them.
These soldiers were all trained by Li Qi. They all lowered their heads and did not dare to express their anger.
But in Gao Qiu's eyes, Li Qi seemed a little too harsh. He thought that it would be very difficult to complete this exercise, not to mention that they were already very good and fast enough, so he stopped them with his mouth.
Li Qi praised them amiably and gave them three more days for the New Year. In addition, he appointed Yue Fei as the new commander-in-chief of the Japanese army on the spot.
This combination of red and white really complements each other!
However, Brother Qiu, who had always been cautious, made such a decision in such a hurry, which shows that he could not bear it any longer. Because until now, he had not seen anyone applauding the Japanese army, so it was probably impossible to complete the mission.
Of course, this was also the only time Gao Qiu mentioned the words "praising the Japanese army".
From today on, praising the Japanese army is no longer the pride of the Forbidden Army, but a shame. This is the first time since Li Qi took office that he was unable to complete the exercise.
Yue Fei was naturally very excited. This was a qualitative leap.
After Gao Qiu finished speaking, Li Qi made another summary. He didn't blame them anymore. He just announced the benefits and rewards for this year's New Year. In addition, Zui Xianju had prepared delicious meals for them tonight.
Let them party all night. As soon as Li Qi finished speaking, the soldiers immediately cheered and jumped for joy. This feeling of stress relief was so good.
After the exercise, Li Qi asked Gao Qiu and other commanders-in-chief of the three yamen to go to Zuixianju for an interview.
After the meal, Guo Yaoshi, Hu You and others said goodbye to Gao Qiu one after another.
After these people left, Gao Qiu and Li Qi were left in the private room. Gao Qiu was not in a hurry to leave. He took a sip of hot tea and suddenly said: "By the way, Li Qi, there is something I have wanted to ask for a long time."
Damn you. Why on earth do you want Medicine Master Guo to join the ranks of guards? I don’t believe you really admire him."
Of course not, I was just afraid of him, he is a key figure. Li Qi said seriously: "Captain, I really have no other meaning in letting General Guo enter the guard post. Of course, there is no need to talk about worship, but I really
It’s because of his rich experience.”
"There are countless experienced generals in our Song Dynasty. Why did you choose him?"
"Is that because he is special?"
"Oh? How do you say this?"
Li Qi said sternly: "First of all, he was a general of the Liao Kingdom, and he is very clear about the advantages and disadvantages of the Liao Army; secondly, he fought with our Song Army, and as a former enemy, he knows our Song Army better.
Third, he has also fought against the Jin Army. He knows the Jin Army better than any general in the Song Dynasty. However, now that the Liao Kingdom has been destroyed, the Jin Kingdom is the strongest. Although the Jin Kingdom is temporarily very friendly with the Song Dynasty,
, but it is necessary to be wary of others. It is not a bad thing to know more about the Jin Army. These three reasons are enough for me to ask him to stay."
Gao Qiu nodded slightly after hearing this and said, "Yes. What you said makes sense. He is indeed a very special person."
Li Qi saw Gao Qiu's expression was different and asked curiously: "Lieutenant, why do you suddenly ask this?"
Gao Qiu was slightly startled and said: "Actually, it's like this. In the past few days, Pharmacist Guo has been walking around in every minister's house every day, hoping to return to Yanshan. He even came to me specifically two days ago, begging me to ask for help. The emperor advised me to transfer him back to Yanshan."
Li Qi's expression tightened and he said, "Then have you promised him?"
Gao Qiu frowned and said, "Why are you so nervous?"
Li Qi laughed and said, "I'm not nervous, I'm just asking."
Gao Qiu glanced at him suspiciously, without thinking much, and said: "You are now in a prominent position, and it was you who recommended him to the Guards Division, so those ministers politely declined. As for me, I didn't agree, I just said Think about it."
Li Qidao: "What about Cai You?"
Gao Qiu smiled and said: "I'm afraid the British father doesn't want him to leave more than you do."
Only then did Li Qi feel relieved and said, "Captain, I want to ask you for something."
"What's up?"
"I also asked the Taiwei to tell Pharmacist Guo that he would stay in the capital for two years and that he would be transferred to Yanshan after two years."
"Why?"
Li Qi smiled and said, "Because two years are enough for me to squeeze out his decades of combat experience." But in his heart, he thought that after two years, he might not dare to go to Yanshan.
Gao Qiu didn't think this was a difficult matter, so he nodded and said, "Okay. That's what I'll tell him."
At this moment, Tian Qi's voice suddenly sounded outside: "Brother, Yuan Hong is here."
Gao Qiu said blankly: "It's such a cold day, what is he doing here?"
Li Qi was also stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Captain, it's the end of the year now, he must be coming to us to share the stolen goods - oh no, it should be dividends." After that, he said towards the door: "Please ask Mr. Hong to come in quickly."
Gao Qiu glanced at Li Qi doubtfully, smiled and said nothing.
After a while, Hong Bajin ran in.
Li Qi stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Uncle Bajin is here, please sit down quickly."
This phrase "Uncle Bajin" made Gao Qiu like Li Qi even more. Now Li Qi's status is higher than that of Hong Bajin. If it were someone else, let alone calling him uncle, I'm afraid he wouldn't even be able to get up. , which shows that Li Qi is a person who values affection and justice.
Hong Bajin nodded, sat opposite Gao Qiu, and said to Gao Qiu: "Lieutenant, it would be best if you were here. I just went to the house to find you, but the dean told me You are not at home."
Gao Qiuruo glanced at Li Qi pointedly, then smiled and said, "What do you want from me?"
Hong Bajin smiled and said: "It's not a big deal. It's just that the accounts of this year's gambling and gambling houses have been calculated. Qi Gong asked me to inform you."
Gao Qiu said: "Qi Gong really hasn't changed at all. One is one and two is two. In fact, there is no need to be so anxious about this kind of thing."
Li Qi nodded and said: "Yes, it's such a cold day. I have to trouble Uncle Bajin to come here. As a junior, I feel really bad."
"It's all the same. It has to be settled sooner or later anyway. Come earlier, Qi Gong and I can feel at ease earlier." Hong Bajin waved his hand and said carelessly.
Gao Qiu and Li Qi looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
Hong Bajin took out two account books and handed them to Gao Qiu, saying: "Taiwei, these are the account books of gambling and gambling houses this year. Please take a look at them."
Gao Qiu smiled bitterly and said: "Ba Jin, what are you doing? We are all old acquaintances. How can I not trust you? Let's just give it to you. Just tell me the number."
Li Qi also said: "What the Taiwei said makes sense."
Hong Bajin was a rugged man, and he was not verbose. He said: "The profit from gambling this year is about 40,000 yuan. Taiwei and Li Qi each get 12,000 yuan, and our Hong family gets 10,000 yuan."
Six thousand strings."
Gao Qiu was surprised: "There are so many?"
Hong Bajin chuckled and said: "To be honest, Lieutenant Commander, Qi Gong and I couldn't believe it when we first learned about this amount. After all, this thing has losers and losers. Only after checking the accounts did we understand that the main reason was that in the end
In the finals, the British public lost 10,000 guan, and the money he bet was huge, so the handling fee alone was nearly 1,000 guan. In addition, this is the handling fee. Oops, this handling fee doesn’t look like much.
, but over time, the number is not small."
Gao Qiu suddenly realized, hehehe said: "Yes, yes, yes, I almost forgot that the British public lost nearly ten thousand yuan in one go."
Hong Bajin laughed proudly and said: "As for the casino, the days are shorter and there are more people joining, so the money is not as much as gambling. I only earn about seven or eight thousand guan. Except for our Hong family,
In addition, you will get about a thousand guan."
"Just be satisfied. You have made so much in just six months. Where can you find such good things in the world? Moreover, this is a steady business." Gao Qiu said with a smile.
Li Qidao: "Yes, this is just the beginning, and there will only be more and more in the future."
"That's right, that's right." Hong Bajin laughed and said, "But speaking of it, it's all thanks to Li Qi. Any business handled by him will never lose money."
Li Qi said with a smile: "Uncle Ba Jin has won the prize. But I think since we have earned so much, we should spend more money to buy peace of mind, or to seek good luck."
Gao Qiu said: "If you have something to say, just say it."
Li Qi snorted and said: "I just think we should use some money to do good deeds and help the poor. Firstly, we can gain a good reputation. Secondly, we can also get blessings from God. Good deeds are rewarded. Thirdly,
As long as more people can earn their own living and support their families, we will have more and more customers, which will be beneficial to us in the long run."
"It makes sense." Gao Qiu nodded and said: "Then I will take out two thousand guan, donate one thousand guan to your charity foundation, and put the other thousand guan in the child's Qingtian Charity Foundation. It is rare for that kid to do this.
When things get serious, we elders should also provide some support."
Hong Bajin hurriedly said: "What the Taiwei said is true, then our Hong family will also donate two thousand guan."
Li Qi smiled and said: "Including me, it's six thousand guan. This money can save at least hundreds of people."
Gao and Hong smiled and nodded.
Hong Bajin suddenly said: "By the way, I have to discuss something with you. Our Hong family plans to open a casino in Jiangnan after the new year, and we can bring the gambling there as well."
Li Qi suddenly had an idea and said: "Uncle Bajin, we are partners anyway. Otherwise, we might as well open your casino into my restaurant."
Hong Bajin asked in surprise: "Can a casino be opened inside a restaurant?"
Li Qi smiled and said: "Of course, it can't be considered a restaurant. Strictly speaking, it should be called a manor. It has everything. If you put this casino inside, it will be more complete, and it will be better than running it alone."
It’s much better, guests can enjoy everything inside.”
Hong Bajin thought about it and felt that it made sense, hehehe said: "How can I refuse such a good thing? Okay, that's it. After the New Year, I will go to Hangzhou in person."
"That's fine, I'll help you watch over here." Li Qi nodded, and suddenly thought of something, and said: "Speaking of this, I also remembered one thing, Taiwei, let's talk about it after the new year
Just open another Cuju Alliance in Jiangnan. By then, the new law will be popularized there, and there will definitely be many redundant officials engaged in business. After this Cuju Alliance is passed, it can not only promote gambling, but also promote the popularization of the new law, and also
It can stimulate people's consumption and provide many opportunities to make money." (To be continued.)
