(These remarks are not a flash of inspiration from Li Qi. The economic and agricultural plans for the North and South have been in his mind for a long time, but he just said it today by the way.
He always advocated economic development, but agriculture was the foundation after all. He was also afraid that the rise of commerce would cause the agriculture of the Song Dynasty to enter a period of depression. This was very scary and was by no means a lie.
In order to combine the two well, Li Qicai proposed Guanzi's light and heavy Wu strategy. As long as the court regards the light and heavy Wu theory as the main strategy for dealing with neighboring countries, then agriculture and commerce will go hand in hand and develop together. It can be said that light and heavy Wu and Li Qi
The new law is seamlessly connected. It can even be said that the light and heavy E is the secret weapon to maximize the benefits brought by Li Qi’s new law.
Because the foundation of light and heavy E is food. Use food to weaken countries. But if you want to do this, you must rely on merchants. Both are indispensable. Therefore, this forces the court to pay attention to both ends. Then, you must reduce agricultural taxes.
Commercial tax, which is of great benefit to his new law, can speed up the process of promoting the new law. If the grain is not sold at a low price, farmers will naturally not go into business, and merchants can use food to pursue wealth and power, and they will naturally work harder.
to steal money
You must know that other countries always have to go to war with the Song Dynasty. The reason is that they cannot defeat the Song Dynasty in other aspects. They can only use rough force to seek benefits from the Song Dynasty. If you play economics with the Song Dynasty, you will undoubtedly be asking for death.
Lu, the Liao Kingdom is a very good example
But as for the Song Dynasty, you can't use your own shortcomings to attack the other's strength. That would be self-destruction. Economic aggression is the best plan. This is also the most critical reason why Li Qi values the light and the heavy.
Grain, currency, and commerce represent farmers, court merchants, and once these three are combined, they are powerful enough to defeat thousands of armies.
It is said that drinking wine adds to the fun, but Li Qi’s words are better than thousands of fine wines. From Song Huizong’s happy expression, it is not difficult to see that his words will establish the Song Dynasty’s foreign strategy in the future. So it is conceivable that the people of the Song Dynasty will undoubtedly
Became the biggest beneficiary
After five rounds of wine, Song Huizong was a little dazed and went back with a smile on his face. During this trip, he not only tasted fine wine, but also smelled the aura of overlord.
Li Qi also breathed a sigh of relief. He finally deceived these predators away. It was not easy.
But today is destined to be a busy day. After seeing them off, Li Qi was going to go to the weapons inspection. Now when he thinks of muskets, he is trembling with excitement and can't calm down.
But when he was about to leave the door, he met the person he least wanted to meet today, and that was Mrs. Qin. At this time, Mrs. Qin was standing in front of Li Qi with an angry face, as if she wanted to eat Li Qi alive.
What's going on? Menopause? Li Qi walked forward cautiously and waved: "Madam, we are so familiar, you don't need to send me off."
Mrs. Qin snorted angrily and said, "Why did you lie to me?"
Li Qi was shocked and said: "When did I lie to you?"
Mrs. Qin said: "My father has just told me everything. The emperor is actually just here to taste your newly brewed Tianxia Wushuang."
She made a big mistake today. When she learned from Wang Zhongling, it turned out that the emperor came today only for the wine and nothing else. As for the crime of bullying the emperor, Song Huizong no longer knew how much he had said to Li Qi.
Mrs. Qin, who knows everyone that she has been deceived, can still swallow her anger?
King of Japan Zhongling, you really think this world is too peaceful, don't you? Li Qi smiled and said: "That's right, so I didn't lie to you. I said it from the beginning, the emperor came here to beg for a drink. It's just you who don't believe it."
"
Mrs. Qin was stunned, her face flushed, and she said angrily: "Why do you insist on asking for a drink, and what you say is so serious, what can I do?"
Li Qi opened his hands and said: "Madam, you know that my literary talents are just like this. You can't compare me and my father-in-law, who are highly talented bachelors, to Biena. It's too bullying. Don't you say so yourself?
Well, the only thing I can do well is cooking. In fact, I didn’t lie to you at all, including the crime of deceiving the emperor and the new dishes. It’s because you are so nervous, madam, that it almost drove me crazy.”
Mrs. Qin said angrily: "You still blame me?"
Li Qi chuckled: "I don't blame you, I know that Madam also cares about me."
"It's good if you know"
As soon as these words were spoken, Mrs. Qin felt that they were inappropriate and quickly changed her words: "I just care about the red slave."
"I understand, I understand." Li Qi nodded and said, "As long as Madam doesn't enter the kitchen in the future, everything will be easy to discuss."
When Mrs. Qin heard about the kitchen, she immediately felt extremely embarrassed. She gritted her teeth and said firmly: "You can rest assured, I have sworn that I will never enter the kitchen in this life."
"Heroes see the same thing"
Li Qi laughed and said casually: "Then Madam must find a chef husband--well, it seems I said the wrong thing again, Maqiao, prepare your horses quickly, eight hundred miles to hurry up, I have something to go first
step"
While talking, he ran out quickly
This---this person is so hateful! Mrs. Qin's face was blood red, her eyes were shining with fire, she was gnashing her teeth with hatred, and she wanted to take off her embroidered shoes and throw them away. In fact, it was her personality that allowed her to coexist with Li Qi for so long.
a strange prostitute
...
After leaving the Qin Mansion, Li Qi and Ma Qiao hurried to the Arms Supervisor. After meeting with Yu Qi, they rushed to the dense mountains in the western suburbs.
The place where the weapons were tested this time was arranged in the large open space behind the secret base. Judging from the size of the open space, Li Qi was full of expectations, because only more powerful firearms require wider space.
Sites, such as those within Zhentianlei, can be tested at home.
When Li Qi arrived, the Wushi brothers Yu Yunwen and other elites were already waiting in the open space. It could be seen that they were very excited.
"The lower official (disciple) has met the supervisor (master) (deputy supervisor)"
Yu Yunwen then said hello to Yu Qi
We haven’t seen each other for many days, and a kind smile appeared at the corner of Yu Qi’s mouth.
“Everyone has been working hard recently”
Li Qi cupped his hands and said to Yu Yunwen: "Yunwen, are you used to it here?" After all, this child is too young, and Li Qi is still a little worried about leaving him in this deep mountain and forest.
Yu Yunwen bowed and said in the same old-fashioned way as before: "Master, I miss you. Everything is fine with Yunwen."
Wu Youcai said carelessly: "This kid Yunwen really likes it here. He often says that he doesn't have to be scolded here at all-"
Just as he said this, he suddenly felt someone next to him pulling down his sleeve. He turned around in surprise and saw Wu Youhua's eyes almost hanging from the corners of his eyes. Only then did he suddenly realize that Yu Yunwen's father was a military weapon.
The deputy supervisor was standing in front of him. He looked at Yu Qi awkwardly and broke out in cold sweat.
Yu Yunwen was also complaining in his heart.
Although Wu Youcai hadn't finished what he said, Yu Qi had already heard it clearly. Seeing that his son dared to tell the truth about his father's power in front of outsiders, he couldn't help but glare at Yu Yunwen.
Just this look scared Yu Yunwen half to death
Li Qi also knew Yu Qi's temper. He coughed lightly and quickly changed the subject: "By the way, by the way, I heard from the deputy supervisor that you have developed a new weapon called a musket?"
Wu Youhua nodded and said with a smile: "To tell you the supervisor, this musket was invented by Yunwen."
Li Qi exclaimed, "Seriously?"
Yu Yunwen nodded slightly, his pure eyes flashing with excitement and anxiety.
Yu Qi frowned and said: "Supervisor Wu, Yunwen is only so old, what can he do with good weapons? Don't let the supervisor go to waste." In fact, he is very confident in his son, but confidence and
This military-state matter is two different things. If it doesn't go well, it won't be a loss of face, so he is still a little uneasy.
Wu Youhua said confidently: "Deputy Supervisor, please rest assured, this gun will definitely be of great use."
"Okay, let's talk about it later. It's a donkey or a horse. Take it out for a walk and you'll find out." Li Qi waved eagerly: "Hurry up and take it out."
Wu Youcai said: "It has been taken out."
"Wha---what?"
Li Qi hurriedly shook his head from side to side, but did not find any special weapons. He wondered: "Why didn't I see it?"
The Wushi brothers and Yu Yunwen looked at each other with a slightly strange look on their faces. Wu Youhua pointed behind him and said, "Commander Bu, what the four of them are holding are exactly muskets."
Li Qi took a closer look and saw four tall soldiers standing behind Wu Youhua, each holding a long spear in their hands. In fact, this spear was different from ordinary spears, just because Li Qi was looking for the one he wanted.
The gun, so I didn’t pay attention to it, which made the atmosphere a bit awkward. First of all, the long gun was at least three meters tall. In addition, there were two long bamboo tubes tied to the left and right of the gun head. Also, this long gun was divided into two sections.
Most of it is made of wood, with only a one-meter-long iron pipe on top. The top of this iron pipe is pointed, somewhat similar to the Mitsubishi Thorn of later generations.
"This---this is a fire---a musket?"
Li Qi bit his lower lip and kept shouting in his heart, it's not like this, it must not be like this. Not to mention guns, at least you have to have a trigger. You can't just tie a few sticks together and fool me.
For Li Qi in later generations, this musket is really a scam.
Unfortunately, the truth is cruel. Wu Youhua nodded affirmatively and said: "Supervisor, this is our newly invented musket."
General Yu Qi, Li Qi, had a strange look on his face and felt extremely uneasy. After all, his son invented the musket. He asked cautiously: "Supervisor, is there something wrong?"
That's all, that's all, we can't dampen their enthusiasm, especially Yu Yunwen's. After all, his shoes are not strong enough to withstand blows at his age. Don't crush them. Li Qi endured the disappointment, forced out a smile and said: "It looks a little shabby, but the key point is
It still depends on practicality, let’s look at the effect first.”
It turns out you are just dissatisfied with the appearance. Yu Qi let out a sigh of relief.
Wu Youhua immediately said: "Array"
Forming a formation? Li Qi took a sharp breath of air and looked around. He found that there were less than twenty people including him and Yu Yunwen. He cursed secretly, such a small number of people were forming a formation.
Boom, boom, boom!
I saw the four spearmen walking side by side carrying their spears, followed by four short soldiers. When they reached the open space, the four turned around several times in succession, facing outward, forming a square with their spears facing outward.
"ignition!"
I saw the four short men immediately lighting the iron fuse. After a moment, I suddenly saw a tongue of fire jumping out of the iron pipe with lightning speed and running away two feet away. Only a moment later, there was another flame.
Listening to the two roaring sounds, two more flames spurted out. The two flames were thicker and more fierce than the previous one.
Three fire snakes marching together, it looks really scary
It seems that I have really misunderstood. The meaning of "Gangqing Musket" is a long gun that can emit fire. It is a one-shot deal. What's the use? Li Qi's military perspective is still in the future. Unless aircraft and cannons, the rest
All in his eyes, but he saw Yu Qi and others were all excited, and then he thought, I don't understand, they must understand, since they all think this musket is good, there must be something unique about it, and as a commander-in-chief, he can't
It hurts morale. You have to pretend to understand even if you don’t understand. Thinking of this, he immediately clapped his hands and shouted: "Okay, okay, this musket is really powerful. With this weapon in Song Dynasty, I will be invincible, hahaha" (to be continued)
