"It's so unreasonable! It's so unreasonable! These little Japanese guys are so proud of me that they even used it on my head. They really treat me like a stallion. md. It's not like I've never seen beautiful women before. Even one of my Yinu's toes is... You dare to show it off when you can’t take it seriously, it’s really disrespectful.”
Li Qi sat on the chair, furious and furious, as if his dignity had been insulted.
Are you angry because of the other party's insult, or are you angry because the ten girls are not satisfied with their looks? Qin Hui, who was standing aside, pursed his lips and twitched the corners of his mouth. It must shake slightly.
Li Qi glanced sideways and frowned: "Xiao Qin, what's your expression? You can laugh if you want. I dare to say it. Are you still afraid of being laughed at?"
Irony, it must be irony. Qin Hui dares to laugh. Isn't this looking for death? He coughed lightly and said: "Sir, please don't get angry. In fact - in fact, this kind of situation is very common in my country, the Song Dynasty."
Li Qi snorted and said, "Really?"
Qin Hui nodded and said: "According to what I heard, every year Fusang will select a group or even several groups of high-quality women from the country to come to Song Dynasty to borrow seeds."
Li Qi was surprised when he heard this and said, "Why did they do this?"
Qin Hui said: "The reason is just as Mr. Tengji said, the Fusang people have always admired our great country in the Central Plains and said that the Song Dynasty has outstanding people, so they feel that their race is despicable, so they want to borrow the race of the men from the Song Dynasty. Improving their race is also called the way to strengthen the country in their mouths. According to rumors, some officials in the coastal states of our Song Dynasty have had this deal with them, and they only want children. After the child is born, the girl will be given to the other person, and of course sometimes, they will let the girl be given to someone else."
After hearing these words, Li Qi was dumbfounded, and his three views had been turned upside down.
What's all the fuss about? Qin Hui glanced at Li Qi and shouted softly: "My lord, my lord."
The Japanese nation is really a strange nation. Why are their ideas so bizarre? Li Qi was slightly startled, and said with a wry smile: "This is really a strange news. I thought I set a precedent and ruined the trend. I'm sorry, I'm just taking the last train. But---does this kind of transaction also charge money?"
Qin Hui was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said: "To be honest, this was taken advantage of by me, a man from the Song Dynasty, so why do I have the nerve to ask for money?"
Li Qi's face tightened and he said: "Xiao Qin, where do you want to go? I asked the other party if he would accept payment?"
Qin Hui groaned, holding back a smile and said: "They are here to beg us, how dare they accept money?"
Li Qi wowed and said: "Then this business is quite good. You have to pay a night fee to go to a brothel, and you don't have to be responsible for that." He smiled again and said ambiguously. : "Xiao Qin, have you tried it? Do you feel comfortable?"
Qin Hui was immediately stunned. He was also a Jinshi after all, so it was really difficult for him to face such an unscrupulous boss.
Seeing Qin Hui's strange expression, Li Qi realized that he had made a mistake, so he waved his hand and said, "Ask me casually. Just ask me casually. If you don't want to say anything, forget it."
Qin Hui was slightly startled, nodded and said: "There is nothing that cannot be said to others, and I have never tried it before."
Li Qi was surprised and said: "This shouldn't be the case. You are so outstanding and have a good breed. There is no reason why they would let you go."
The breed is excellent? Qin Hui said with a cold sweat: "Xiaguan was just a scholar in the past. How can I say that? They will only look for talents like adults who have the ability to deal with the world."
Li Qi's face turned dark and he said, "Are you scolding me?"
"Don't dare, don't dare."
Li Qi tempted: "If you want to give it a try, I can introduce you to Tengji and the others. They will definitely agree."
Qin Hui shook his head vigorously and said: "Your Majesty's kindness is appreciated by me. I already have a wife and concubines, so I'm not going to have this happy marriage."
Seeing Qin Hui's face turned red, Li Qi laughed, but it was enough. He coughed slightly, and then said seriously: "You recently proposed a plan for trade with Japan. You must concentrate the goods exported to Japan. Just
It must be sold to the Ping family."
Qin Hui said in confusion: "I beg your pardon for my stupidity. Why did you do this? Your friendship with them is only average, so why are you so generous to them? Moreover, we won't get any benefits, and maybe we will add a lot."
trouble."
Li Qi laughed and said, "Do you even think I'm helping them?"
Qin Hui asked in astonishment: "Isn't it?"
Li Qi shook his head and said: "Of course not. Although I love doing good deeds, it is limited to the people of the Song Dynasty. My love has not spread enough to cross the ocean."
Qin Hui frowned and said, "Then the official is even more confused."
Li Qidao: "How much do you know about Fusang?"
Qin Hui said: "It's not very clear. The forces in their country are very complicated. The Ping family is just one of the forces. They have conflicts with the princes, nobles and other warrior families in the court. It's difficult to explain them all in one word.
.”
Li Qi chuckled: "You are right. Maybe in the eyes of others, we are helping the Ping clan, but when I really throw this piece of cake to the Ping clan, what do you think the other forces will think?"
Qin Hui's eyes suddenly opened, and after a moment, he said: "If this is the case, the other families will definitely be afraid, and they will definitely try their best to prevent the Ping family from expanding their power, and this involves samurai and samurai families, nobles and samurai families,
The situation will become complicated and confusing, and civil strife may break out at any time."
Li Qi sneered and said: "I just want this effect. The more chaotic they are, the better. If they are all twisted into a rope, then what else will we have to do? You have to remember that for third parties, interests are always
They are all hidden in contradictions. Without contradictions, there is no benefit. This is what it means to be a fisherman. If I smash this piece of cake, their domestic situation will definitely change drastically, especially those nobles who did it. They will definitely take advantage of it.
The power in their hands suppresses the Taira family, and the Taira clan will definitely protect their hard-won interests at all costs, calling on samurai to fight against the aristocratic group, and the other samurai families will definitely stand in the way and strive for their own interests. Maybe then
Many people will come to us to beg us, and then we will be able to do it with ease and firmly grasp the initiative."
So that's it, this move is really vicious. I believe no matter how smart the other party is, they can't guess that the cake thrown by the adults is actually highly poisonous. When they get carried away, they will definitely forget the reason why a big tree attracts the wind.
, it may lead to death, which is really hard to guard against. However, even if it succeeds in provoking trouble, what can we, the Song Dynasty, get from it? Moreover, trade with Japan will definitely be affected.
Could it be that---does your Excellency want to send troops to Fuso? It is really possible. Your Excellency has repeatedly suggested building a navy. Could it be that he wants to expand overseas? Qin Hui thought of this and felt the cool breeze whistling on his back, but he still did not dare to act recklessly.
He made this assertion, because in his opinion, instead of expanding overseas, it is better to concentrate on expanding to the north or northwest and southwest. Moreover, how can the Song Dynasty have such strength today! So he rejected the idea in his heart. He tentatively said
: "Sir, is it worth putting in so much effort for a small island country?"
Li Qi glanced at him meaningfully and explained: "The goal of our reform in the Song Dynasty is to become an economic power. What is an economic power? It is not just about having enough food and clothing, but also being able to use the economy as a strategic means.
By penetrating into other countries, it is best to be able to control the economies of other countries and influence their policies. This is the only way to become an economic power in the true sense."
Yes, the Fusang Kingdom is very dependent on the Song Dynasty for its economy. The Ping family will definitely use the goods given by the adults to expand its own power, but this will also expand the influence of the Song Dynasty in Fusang.
The ultimate beneficiary is always us. But---is it really that simple?
Just when Qin Hui was puzzled, Ma Qiao suddenly walked in and said: "Commander Bu, someone just sent you a letter."
Li Qi took the letter, read it, and said with a smile: "It's finally here." As soon as he received the letter, he turned to Qin Hui and said in an unquestionable tone: "Qin Hui, Fusang plays a vital role in my reform.
status, I don’t want any mistakes in the process. You must personally supervise it, understand?"
Qin Hui raised his eyebrows, slightly surprised, and then hurriedly sang: "Please rest assured, sir, I know what to do."
Li Qi hummed and said, "I still have something to do, so I'll leave first. I'll leave this place to you."
"Sir, walk slowly."
...
After coming out of the Commerce Bureau, Li Qi, led by the messenger, went to a small lake ten miles away in the eastern suburbs. He saw a small pavilion by the lake. There was an old man sitting in the pavilion, and there was another man standing behind him.
With three people.
When Li Qi saw the old man, his eyes lit up and he quickly stepped forward and asked, "Is this old gentleman Zongze who is about to take up the post in Dengzhou, Zongzhifu?"
This person is none other than Zongze.
Although Zongze already knew who the other party was, Li Qi's question was too abrupt, so he just nodded subconsciously.
Li Qi bowed deeply and said very respectfully: "Junior Li Qi has met Zong Zongzhifu."
If it was just based on seniority, Zongze definitely deserved the gift from Li Qi. However, you must know that Li Qi was a third-grade official, several levels higher than Zongze. How could he bear this gift? He quickly stepped forward to help him.
Li Qi stood up and said: "I don't dare to accept it. I don't dare to accept it. How can this happen? How dare Zongze accept such a great gift from the economy."
He is different from Zhongshi Dao. Although Zhongshi Dao was originally from an idle family, his reputation was well known and he was from a famous family. Many ministers in the court had to call him Zhonggong, so they naturally accepted it calmly.
But Zongze came from a poor family, and so far he has been doing nothing and has no reputation, so he can't afford it.
Maybe in the eyes of others, this is indeed a bit unbelievable, but Li Qi knew in his heart that the old man in front of him was definitely qualified to receive this gift from him. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly heard a clear laughter coming from behind Zongze, "Uncle Zong,
Just because you helped Yue Fei suppress the rebellion, you are definitely qualified to bear this gift."
Damn! Who actually stole my lines? Li Qi looked up, with relief on his face, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Why is it you again?"
