Nine hundred and fiftieth chapters by the world doctor
No matter whether Muhammad and others were moved by emotion, reason, or even used money to attack, Li Qiwu never changed his mind and vetoed it in one fell swoop. To put it simply, no temptation could make him betray the interests of his motherland.
This is the bottom line.
God knows whether the early arrival of canned food in Europe will trigger a Eurasian war.
Seeing Li Qi's direct refusal, Muhammad knew there was no hope. Fortunately, Li Qi did not agree to Yilt. In this way, his diet was only a tie with Byzantium.
However, he did not dare to offend Li Qi because of this. If Li Qi was annoyed and provided help to Byzantium for free, then their gain would outweigh the loss.
Although Li Qi did not agree to sell the secret recipe for canned food to them, the initiative was still in his own hands, because neither of them wanted Li Qi to sell the canned food to the other party, so they wanted to curry favor with Li Qi even more.
In the next few days, the focus was on the sale of ships. Li Qiming marked the price without favoring any party.
All coastal countries placed orders one after another. For this reason, Song Huizong also showed off by taking these envoys to visit the Northern Song Dynasty "aircraft carrier" named "Shenzhou" that he was proud of.
Kaifeng was the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty. Southeast water transportation was very important. Ships were an indispensable means of transportation. Water trade was bound to flourish. During the Zhenzong period, the annual output reached more than 2,900 ships. Shipbuilding technology is even more advanced in the world. Once the Fujian shipyard is put into use, the output will definitely be
It will be doubled. In fact, a long time ago, almost all merchant ships used by various countries were made in the Song Dynasty. This is because interests are promoting technology!
However, this year, the Northern Song Dynasty sold warships to foreign countries for the first time, which was also very attractive. Coupled with the promotion of maritime trade, it was even more irresistible.
In addition, Byzantium and Dashi also purchased a lot of crossbows. These crossbows were modified and specially used to be installed on warships. The two countries are currently engaged in some maritime military competition. There are no cannons on the sea now, so
, the crossbow is the main tool to fight the enemy, how could they let go of the Song Dynasty's crossbow.
However, what they want even more is the newly developed crossbow with gunpowder developed by the Song Dynasty. Since the Battle of Lanzhou, this mysterious and frightening crossbow has become famous.
However, Li Qi refused them on the grounds that the weapons were very small in quantity and difficult to make, and told them that they would have to wait at least two years before they could be sold to the outside world. The reason why Li Qi dared to sell weapons to them so unscrupulously was that
Because these are weapons that will be eliminated, he will never sell the most advanced weapons of the Song Dynasty to anyone, at least the Song Dynasty does not have the strength yet.
Three days before New Year's Day, this marathon-like trade negotiation finally came to an end.
The funds involved this time also created a shocking record. A total of 14 countries, political powers, and hundreds of businessmen, large and small, invested a total amount of approximately 20 million yuan. It can be said to be unprecedented and unprecedented.
now.
The Song Dynasty undoubtedly became the biggest winner of this trade.
Let me ask you, who dares to look down on businessmen today? The entire JD.com is plunged into a sea of joy, and this New Year's Eve will definitely be recorded in the history books.
Prince Zhao Huan also became a blockbuster. Nowadays, everyone mentions the prince and gives a thumbs up. Although Li Qi secluded himself at home during this negotiation, he is already a god-like existence in the hearts of businessmen, even if he said that the sun will rise tomorrow.
It will not rise, and the people will believe it without doubt.
The ministers of the DPRK and China all know that after this time, the new law is unshakable. Those conservatives threw themselves into the new law out of despair. Others are making money. If you are conservative, sooner or later you will be so poor that you won’t even be able to wear your underpants.
, in fact, a long time ago, some conservatives secretly instructed their relatives to do business and make money.
When Song Huizong and a group of ministers heard Zhao Huan say this figure, they were frightened. You must know that since Song Huizong, a foolish emperor, came to the throne, the GDP of the Northern Song Dynasty has returned to the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China. In the year of Fang La's rebellion, the national treasury revenue was only
There are only 30 million guan, which is less than one-fifth of what it was at the peak of the Northern Song Dynasty, and it was not much different last year.
This year, due to the implementation of the new law, agricultural taxes have been significantly reduced, but commercial taxes have increased sharply. Coupled with the birth of the arms trade and the year-end trade transaction, GDP has reached nearly 6,000 yuan, which has doubled.
.
Song Huizong burst out laughing and couldn't stop. This business was so satisfying. He laughed so hard that he even choked with laughter. He coughed violently and looked at Zhao Huan lovingly. He wished he could hug him and kiss him hard.
mouth.
Of course, he didn't kiss him. Instead, he praised Zhao Huan and Li Qi. Although he often did incredible things, he was not confused and knew that this was Li Qi's intention.
Zhao Huan was trained and his reputation improved.
Zhao Huan quickly stood up and said: "Father, my sons and ministers dare not take the first credit for this achievement. This is the result of the joint efforts of the Grand Master, Honglu Temple, the Bureau of Commerce, and millions of merchants in the Song Dynasty."
.”
Li Qi also stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I think that His Highness the Crown Prince is right. This credit should belong to everyone in the Song Dynasty. It cannot be accomplished by just one person."
Song Huizong nodded and said: "Okay, okay, what you two beloved ministers said is really good. This is the result of the joint efforts of my subjects in the Song Dynasty." As he said, he suddenly stopped and said: "You ministers and scholars
If you have merit, I can directly reward you, but I can't reward those merchants one by one. This would be too unfair to them, and that won't work." At this point, he pondered for a moment and said: "In Li Qi's case,
Before the term "economic construction" was proposed, the meaning of economy was to manage the world and benefit the people, which was very consistent with the original intention of economic construction. Well, every three years, the imperial court would select someone who would make outstanding contributions to the Song Dynasty.
As a businessman who has made great contributions, I will confer upon him the title of a great official with a sixth-grade official rank, and I will personally write a plaque conferring it on him."
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar.
This is really a good idea! Damn it! Could it be that this foolish king is enlightened? Li Qi secretly screamed.
Song Moquan stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid there's something wrong with this. Allowing businessmen to take part in scientific examinations in the future is already a huge favor. If you continue to use the name of a doctor, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the world's scholars to accept it."
Song Huizong was now overwhelmed by the tens of millions of dollars. He was in such a good mood that he waved his hand and said: "Hey! Song Aiqing is a little too rigid. This is just an honor. Without any power, why not?
, no matter who they are, as long as they can help me make tens of millions of dollars in the Song Dynasty, I can also reward them."
Tens of millions of dollars? Song Moquan suddenly lost his temper. How could he dare to have any temper and be silent?
Cai Jing stood up and said: "I think the emperor's idea is really wonderful. This move can not only reflect the emperor's wisdom, but also increase the enthusiasm of our businessmen, which will definitely bring more wealth to our Song Dynasty."
Among the ministers, he was the only one who understood Song Huizong's thoughts. After this incident, the power of merchants had grown. As an emperor, he naturally had to consolidate imperial power and win over people's hearts. He could never treat merchants like before. This
It is the so-called art of the emperor.
After hearing this, the other ministers began to ponder to themselves. They also immediately understood the intention of Song Huizong's move. Li Qi, who realized it later, also suddenly realized, thinking to himself, the emperor is the emperor after all, and his considerations are always different from others.
Song Huizong laughed and said: "I still love you, you understand me. This is exactly what I mean."
Li Bangyan suddenly said: "Then who will be qualified to receive this honor for the first time?"
"this---!"
All the ministers' eyes were directed at the same person.
Needless to say, it must be Li Qi. Today, Zuixianju is regarded as a model for private enterprises, and Li Qi is the leader of businessmen. It is no exaggeration to choose him!
Song Huizong thought to himself that granting Li Qi the title was too unoriginal and could not reflect his great imperial favor. It also failed to win over the hearts of businessmen. So he said: "Forget it about Li Qi. This economic envoy is already unique in our Song Dynasty."
Yes, and he is an official of our Song Dynasty, so let’s give this honor to others.”
Li Qi was not surprised and said hurriedly: "What the emperor said is that even humble ministers are embarrassed to ask for this honor."
Li Bangyan said again: "I do have a candidate."
"Oh? Aiqing, tell me quickly."
Li Bangyan chuckled and said, "It's the prince's son, Gao Yaokang."
"puff!"
As soon as he finished speaking, many ministers couldn't help laughing.
He is worthy of being a prodigal prime minister! The recommended people are all so coquettish. Li Qi hid behind him and kept snickering. If it weren't for Brother Qiu's face, he would probably laugh out loud.
Gao Qiu looked at Li Bangyan expressionlessly, feeling the urge to challenge him to a duel.
When Song Huizong thought of Gao Yanei, he burst into laughter. However, seeing that Brother Qiu didn't look very good, he stopped laughing and asked seriously: "I would like to hear Aiqing's opinion."
Li Bangyan said seriously: "According to Wei Chen, the Qingtian Charity Foundation established by Gao Yaokang has helped many poor people. It is precisely because of his generous help that many people have overcome difficulties. Now they are craftsmen or businessmen.
, or farmers, or boatmen, which greatly promoted the economic development of the Song Dynasty, and this is not just in one aspect, it can be said to be very comprehensive. In addition, Gao Yaokang also played an important role in the last Fengxiang incident. This great man of the world,
He deserves it."
Hearing what he said, everyone felt that it made sense. Gao Yanei had spent a lot of effort to gain the praise of the people. No matter what the purpose, no one could easily erase his efforts.
But given Gao Yanei's reputation, they felt this was quite awkward.
Gao Qiu's face turned red and he hurriedly stood up and said: "Your Majesty, how virtuous and talented is the evil son to be able to receive this honor? Wei Chen implores the emperor to exclude the evil son from the list. Otherwise, Wei Chen's old face will not know where to go.
Put it aside."
He truly knows his son better than his father!
Li Bangyan said with a smile: "Captain, don't you avoid relatives when promoting talents? Besides, this is a good thing, so why should you be so modest?"
This shameless guy must be sincerely trying to embarrass me. Gao Qiu shook his head and said, "It's rare for a villain to win the favor of a left prime minister, and I'm very pleased. However, a villain would not dare to take this honor no matter what."
Seeing Gao Qiu's embarrassment, Cai Jing smiled softly, then stood up and came to the rescue: "Your Majesty, after all, Gao Yaoshun is the son of the Taiwei. If you grant this honor to him, I'm afraid it will be unfair."
Gao Qiu nodded hurriedly and said: "The grand master said yes, the grand master said yes."
Song Huizong also nodded and said: "Yes. What Ai Qing said makes sense. Do you have any other candidates?" He just listened to it as a joke and had no intention of giving this honor to Gao Yanei, a slut.
Gao Qiu immediately breathed a sigh of relief. What a joke it would be if Gao Yanei became such a distinguished doctor!
At this time, a person suddenly stood up and said: "Please tell me, Your Majesty, I have a good candidate for you."
This man is Zheng Yi's cousin, Zheng Yifu.
Song Huizong said: "Zheng Aiqing, please tell me quickly."
Zheng Yifu suddenly looked at Bai Shizhong and said, "This is the right prime minister's daughter, the wife of the economic minister. The seventh mother of the Bai family, Bai Qiannuo."
"woman?"
Many people exclaimed in surprise.
But Zheng Yifu didn't take it seriously and said: "There is a saying that women should not give way to men. Although Bai Qiniang is a girl, her business ability is among the best in the Song Dynasty. Since Bai Qiniang went to Jiangnan, she has spared no effort to help the government
To restore the economy of Jiangnan, the government and the people cooperated and achieved very remarkable results, and also helped many people get rid of poverty and become rich. A businessman can make himself rich. This is not difficult, but when it comes to enriching the people of a state, it is even more than that.
But not everyone can do it, so it is worthy of the name for Bai Qiniang to be bestowed upon her by a master of the world."
"Weichen absolutely agrees with what Doctor Zheng said. Qiniang is well-deserved." Li Qi hurriedly stood up and said.
Song Huizong chuckled: "Li Qi, you don't shy away from suspicion at all!"
Li Qi chuckled and said, "Your Majesty, you should not avoid relatives when promoting talents. Only Qiniang has this ability. Only then can I, the husband, speak for her with confidence."
Song Huizong smiled and nodded, saying: "Yes, I have heard a lot about the deeds of Qiniang of the Bai family. Zheng Zheng, the prefect of Hangzhou, also mentioned her many times in memorials. Well, she is indeed a good candidate.
.”
Bai Shizhong stood up hurriedly and said: "Your Majesty, this little girl will never accept this title."
Song Huizong said: "Oh? Why is this?"
Bai Shizhong said: "If the little girl is born as a boy, then I, as a father, will be happy for her. But the little girl is born as a girl. Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, we have never had a female doctor. Therefore, I would like to ask the emperor to find another doctor."
Choose someone else.”
Li Qiyou complained: "My father-in-law, there is always a first time for everything. You can't erase Qiniang's contribution because of her gender. This makes the thousands of female compatriots in the Song Dynasty feel embarrassed. A woman's meritorious service is not considered merit.
.”
Bai Shizhong glared at Li Qi and said, "Can you say a few words less?" He is a stubborn old man. He cannot accept this kind of thing. Even if the proposal is the daughter of another minister, he will do the same.
be opposed to.
Li Qi pouted and turned his head, obviously unconvinced.
When Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty saw the argument between his father-in-law and his father-in-law, he thought it was funny and said, "What do you think?"
Many ministers stood up and said that it was inappropriate to appoint a woman as a doctor.
After Li Qi saw him, he didn't have much to say. After all, this is a male-dominated society. How could they let women stand up?
Song Huizong felt that there was nothing wrong. After all, he was an artist and his ideas were always forward-looking. Otherwise, he would not have thought of digging tunnels to have an affair. Is this something ordinary people can do? However, when he saw the ministers
They all objected, so they had no choice but to give up, and said to Li Qi: "Li Qi, as the economic envoy, I would like to hear your suggestions."
I chose Qiniang, but you didn’t agree and asked me what I was doing. Although Li Qi felt a little unhappy, he also knew that this could not be changed. He pondered for a moment and said: "Wei Chen proposed to Zhou Qing, the owner of the Zhou family silk and satin shop. This person has been in business for many years. He is kind and honest. He never deceives customers or commits fraud. He has done this for ten years. Any product produced by his Zhou family silk and satin shop is reassuring. It can be said that it is our Song Dynasty inspection-free product. It is also a good refutation of the saying that no businessman can be raped. Weichen feels that we can set Zhou Qing as an example for our merchants in the Song Dynasty. In addition, silk is also a symbol of trade in the Song Dynasty, so it is perfect for him to receive this title. .”
The others also nodded in agreement.
Song Huizong also had some impressions of Zhou Qing and had a favorable impression, saying: "Okay then, I will make Zhou Qing the first political official in the Song Dynasty."
"The Emperor's Holy Ming."
All the ministers said in unison.
Song Huizong laughed, suddenly remembered something, and asked: "By the way, Li Qi, how are you preparing for the New Year's Day banquet?"
Li Qidao: "Reporting to the emperor, Wei Chen has made preparations. This year's New Year's Day banquet will be arranged at Xiangguo Temple. Tomorrow, Wei Chen will submit a detailed itinerary."
"Xiangguo Temple?"
A group of ministers were puzzled. This was the first time!
Song Huizong was looking forward to it very much. He had long been tired of staying in this palace and always wanted to go out for a walk. He smiled and said: "Okay. I have confidence in you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
...
...
Shokokuji Temple is not just a temple, its size is comparable to that of a small town. It is also the economic center of Tokyo. In the northeast corner of Shokokuji Temple, there is a street. In fact, strictly speaking, it cannot even be called a street. This place was originally used for people to do business. However, because the location was too remote, few guests came here. As time went by, it became abandoned and could only be used to house some servants.
However, since a month ago, both ends of this street have been blocked, and no one is allowed to enter without permission. At first, no one knew why. Until half a month ago, the steward of Xiangguo Temple learned from Li Qi Knowing that this year's New Year's Day banquet would be held here, the person in charge was frightened, and he immediately cheered up and got ready.
This afternoon.
"For humble positions, see Bu Shuai."
As soon as Li Qi walked out of this street, the guards on both sides immediately clasped their fists and saluted.
Li Qi hummed and said, "Be careful, you can't afford any accidents."
"As commanded."
Li Qi nodded with a tired look on his face. Then he walked to the left. After walking for about a tea time, he came to an open space and saw a large shed set up in the open space. Entering the shed, he saw what was directly in front of him. There was a wooden stage on which the prostitutes from Gaoyan were showing off their coquettish looks.
This is where the performance took place on New Year’s Day, and now it’s New Year’s Day. The play has also begun its final rehearsals!
Since everything has to be kept secret now, ordinary people are not allowed to enter. Xu Fei and others often come to help, but today there is an extra guest, and that is Fan Shaobai.
When Fan Shaobai saw Li Qi coming, he went up to greet him and asked with a smile: "You've got it done over there."
"about there."
Li Qi nodded and said with a smile: "Thank you for your help this time."
Fan Shaobai chuckled and said: "Where is this? If Mrs. Song can get the guidance of your Golden Knife Chef King, it will be her blessing, and it will also be of great benefit to me, Fan Lou. However, you are too mysterious.
Even I’m not allowed in.”
Li Qi smiled and said: "Get used to it, get used to it."
Fan Shaobai tried again: "By the way, I heard Mrs. Song say that the dishes prepared this time are very special. I asked her what the dishes were, but she couldn't explain clearly. No matter the cooking method or the taste, they were all the same as mine.
The cuisine of the Song Dynasty is completely different.”
Li Qi smiled mysteriously and said, "I can only tell you that this is a world-class feast."
Fan Shaobai was stunned for a moment, but he still didn't understand. Seeing that he didn't want to say more, he could only give up.
At this time, Zhou Hua also ran over and said: "Brother Li, when did you come?"
"Just arrived."
Li Qi smiled and suddenly saw Zhou Hua wearing a big red robe, and said with a smile: "Fat man, what you are wearing today is quite bright. Could it be that you have taken another concubine?"
Zhou Hua said with a smile: "Brother, what are you talking about? This is not because the emperor made my father a great doctor and gave us the Zhou family royal plaque. This is an unprecedented honor. Naturally, we have to dress more festively!"
Fan Shaobai felt a flash of envy in his eyes.
Yesterday, the emperor personally issued an imperial edict, conferring Zhou Qing the title of Doctor of Management of the World, and also gave him a handwritten plaque of "Managing the World and Benefiting the People", and also released the news that every three years, one person will be selected who has made the most contributions to the Song Dynasty.
Merchants who contribute will be given such rewards.
This shocked the capital! The merchants in the city were very happy and excited, but the scholars were quite critical of this. However, there was no other way. The momentum of the merchants was too strong now, and they could only avoid its edge.
Li Qi chuckled and said, "That's what it should be. It's a pity that I had something to do yesterday and couldn't go. Your father must have been extremely happy."
Last night, the Zhou family was very lively. Almost all businessmen in the capital were there. This was a milestone for businessmen. How could they not celebrate this historic moment. Zhou Qing was not a high-profile person.
, but this is no small matter, you must do it to death, the more sensational the better, you can't embarrass the emperor.
Zhou Hua said: "Isn't it? My father was so happy that he almost fainted."
"Aren't you still dizzy?"
When Zhou Hua was about to speak, an eerie voice suddenly sounded from behind.
Zhou Hua trembled with fright, turned around and saw that it was Gao Yanei. He saw Gao Yanei saying nothing and looking at him with resentment.
Li Qi glanced at the stage and saw that Hong Tianjiu and the others were still practicing. He frowned and said, "Ya Nei, if you don't practice well, why are you standing here?"
Gao Yanei said angrily: "Can't I take a rest for a while?" As he said that, he looked sideways at Zhou Hua with a rather complicated expression.
When Zhou Hua looked at him like this, he felt strange and panicked, and couldn't help but move towards Li Qi.
Gao Yanei curled his lips and said, "What's there to brag about?"
Li Qi smiled and said, "What are you doing?"
"I haven't done anything, I'm just in a bad mood." Gao Yanei curled his lips and said.
Li Qidao: "What? I'm tired from practicing!"
Fan Shaobai laughed and said: "This guy is jealous that the famous doctor gave it to Uncle Zhou and didn't give it to him."
Gao Yanei hummed: "Shaobai, do you know the words? This plaque belongs to me. My father was so stupid that he helped outsiders instead of helping me, his own son. Li Qi, at that time you
Being here, you also know whether this plaque belongs to me."
I dare you to do this for this! Li Qixiao asked: "How did you learn about it?"
Gao Yanei said: "Uncle Li told me this morning when I was playing Cuju. If I had known this, I would not have gone to Zhou's house to congratulate him last night, and I would have foolishly talked a lot of nonsense."
He was a relatively simple person, and he did not think at the time that he was actually involved in the discussion on the day of the discussion. Later, Li Bangyan told him, and he suddenly realized it.
This prodigal prime minister seems to have a blood feud with Brother Qiu! Li Qi patted Gao Yanei on the shoulder and said: "Yanei, a little pain is equal to encouragement."
Gao Yanei said with tears in his eyes: "What a small pain, you only have the same experience as Shaobai, I have to wait for three years. What my father did this time was extremely unkind, and it was not in vain that Uncle Li was kind to me." I have invited him to Yingchun Tower several times to have fun."
I bet you are a life-and-death acquaintance who has been a prostitute. No wonder your relationship is so deep. Li Qi nodded in understanding.
