Chapter 81 - Panic Food Prices Rise!

Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

Just when Li Qi took office again, the "residents" on the streets of the capital disappeared within half a day, just like the storm, coming and going quickly.

Across the day, all the restaurants, workshops, and shops in the capital opened at the same time, full of tacit understanding, giving people an illusion, as if this had never happened at all.

It can be seen from this that no matter how humble a person is, as long as they are united, then no one dares to despise them.

When many scholars saw it, they were secretly muttering to themselves, there are many people in our family, and we may be able to follow suit next time.

However, if they had resorted to this move, would they have been so smooth?

The answer is no.

Because Li Qi was able to succeed this time, the key was that with the strong support of Song Huizong, if it weren't for Song Huizong's hiding from the court and pressing those ministers on it, how could Li Qi win so lightly.

The Great Song Times Weekly also reappeared in front of the world with a layer of packaging, which made those literati excited, they have become accustomed to reading newspapers and reading the news at morning tea time.

Because this incident damaged the reputation of the readers, the content of this magazine is to rehabilitate the readers and reawaken the people's trust in the readers.

But this headline is surprisingly short, just two lines, as for the content of the book or anything, there is no mention of anything, not even a brief introduction, which is also afraid of taking the lead. The next heading is "Knowledge and Money". The content is not the unbearable process of reading books and being an official and greedy for money, but how to use knowledge to get rich, and the importance of knowledge to the people. Anyway, it's a whole book of propaganda.

However, the most attractive thing is the short four words of "The Condor Heroes", especially those martial arts fans, at the end of the previous shรจ carving, they want to know whether Li Qi will write it, and now when they hear the news, they are in tears and excited!

The name alone is very attractive to them. Everyone understands shรจ carving, but the divine eagle, they are a little confused, and they all gather around to guess what kind of divine method this divine eagle is, and even many people spend a lot of money to buy gossip in it, Gao Yanei's idiot is one of them, and what kind of reward to guess the divine eagle, when Li Qi learned the news. It's hard to cry or laugh.

Of course, in addition to the Condor, there are also many people who are very interested in the following main contents, and now everyone is talking about scholars, scholars, and scholars. In terms of eloquence, it is natural that those talents and literati still have the advantage, and they take advantage of this to begin to trumpet the benefits of reading and rehabilitate them. Without Li Qi getting in the way, they quickly won the battle of public opinion easily.

Not only that, but the reading business has also become a novel topic. In fact, Li Qi only threw this question on the side, but it worked wonders. Although the number of Jinshi admitted every year in the Northern Song Dynasty has reached an unprecedented high, only a small part of the huge number of scholars can be admitted to Jinshi, what should the rest of the scholars do? Where is their way out? After all, life is only a few decades, and the merchants undoubtedly provide them with another way out, which is also directly related to the people's livelihood, so this topic is also very hotly discussed.

No matter what the result is, Li Qi is already very satisfied, the more they argue very fiercely, then the more beneficial it will be for the businessman, maybe it will not be accepted by the world for a while, but Li Qi believes that sooner or later there will be a ri, and everyone will take it for granted.

In addition, Li Qi's prediction came true again, that is, the second RI of the opening of the restaurant, and the major grain merchants in the capital raised the price of grain at the same time, which is definitely an explosive news. You must know that the restaurant was closed at the beginning, but these grain merchants were driven crazy, since you are unkind, don't blame us for injustice, they want not only simple interests, but also a very strong sense of revenge, they are bound to let these restaurants pour tea to them to admit their mistakes.

The price of food has risen all the way, the most directly hurt is naturally the people, the most difficult thing to do is the restaurant, the price of food has risen, then the price of vegetables must rise, but now the price is high enough, and if it rises, it is difficult for the guests to accept, but if it does not rise, then it will not make much money.

Due to the rise in food prices, the capital fell into panic again, however, at this time, the imperial court was too busy to take care of itself, and could only stand by and watch.

The Orthodox Alliance held an emergency meeting again, and during the year, the Orthodox Alliance played a significant role and everyone was unprecedentedly united.

The protagonist of this meeting, Wu Zi, is still Li Qi, so Li Qi has to go, and after breakfast, he and Wu Furong rushed to Qingfeng Building.

"Master Li, congratulations on your return to the post of economic envoy."

"Yes! With the financial envoys, we will be at ease. โ€

๏ผŽ

As soon as Li Qi arrived, those outsiders stepped forward to congratulate him and pat the official's ass, which would not be a wrong thing.

Li Qi returned the salute one by one, suddenly raised his hands, pressed them, and said apologetically: "Everyone, everyone, I'm really sorry, I can't hide it, until now, I didn't know that what you have done recently is to help me Li Qi." Alas, blame me, blame me for not being smart enough, I didn't understand your deep meaning at the time, so that I couldn't stand on the same front with you at the beginning, it's all my fault, next time please be sure to tell me, Li Qi doesn't want to add another guilt, no matter what, I still have to thank you a lot, tonight's wine, a qiฤ“ consumption I please, you must go. โ€

Hypocrisy? This word is used on Li Qi, it is all insulting to him.

The proprietors of these restaurants, it is really the first time to see hypocritical people, and at this time, they are still unwilling to admit that you just made this qiฤ“ at all, and you are still pretending to be pure here, and what is even more odious is that his words will completely wipe out the relationship, and it has to make people nod and say that the most helpless thing in the world is to meet a hypocritical person like Li Qi.

"Where, where. The economy makes us businessmen wholeheartedly, and we should repay virtue by virtue. โ€

"yes, we're helping ourselves, too."

๏ผŽ

Although everyone's faces were full of smiles, there was a trace of helplessness and a hint of disdain in their voices.

Zhang Chun'er suddenly said: "This is what we should do, but when we go to drink tonight, I'm afraid everyone is not in the mood." โ€

When everyone heard this, their faces changed, and they sighed one after another, as depressed as they were, as depressed as they were.

Do you know how to pretend? So will I. Richie pretended not to know: "Ouch. Is something big happening? โ€

Qi Feng was completely speechless for Li Qi, stretched out his hand and smiled: "I'll talk about this later, the economic envoy, please take a seat." โ€

Li Qi waved his hand and said, "Don't." President Qi, this son is still done by you, there is a way that there are no rules and no circle, since I am here to participate in this meeting as the proprietor of the Drunken Immortal Residence, this son should be sitting for you, if you say it again, then I will go out and turn right. โ€

Go out and turn right? Qi Feng was stunned. He reacted immediately, and did not dare to be humble any longer, so he invited everyone to sit down first, and then he sat down in his seat. He coughed lightly and said, "Presumably, except for the economic envoys, you already know the purpose of this meeting." โ€

Wow! I didn't expect this president to be a person who would repay flaws. Li Qi's old face turned red and said, "Actually, I know it too." The president will not have to explain it to me separately. โ€

Qi Feng is also an acting school, oh, and said, "Really?" โ€ใ€‚

Richie gritted his teeth and nodded.

The rest of the people looked down and snickered.

Qi Feng can also be stopped. Said: "Since that's the case, then I won't say more." As you all know, in Yuanyou, I Kaifeng granary reserves are sufficient, and the price of grain in Tokyo is not higher than 100 Wen at most, but even so, the imperial court at that time was still too high, opened the warehouse and released grain, and reduced the grain price to Dou 67 Wen, but at the beginning of Xuanhe, due to the recent wars of the imperial court, the granary was empty, and those big grain merchants took the opportunity to hoard grain and raise the price of grain, and now it has risen to 300 Wen per bucket, which is more than three times, and we can only be forced to follow the price increase. But it also lost a lot of customers because of this. Now, those grain merchants have raised the price of grain to 330 wen in just a few days, a full increase of 30 wen, which makes us how to bear it in dry restaurants, and now that the autumn harvest is imminent, if they succeed this time, then they will definitely stock up grain on a large scale again, and will not let this price go down, so we must find a way to stop them from doing what they do. โ€

Fan Shaobai sighed: "Not only that, but they also released news that there was a shortage of food, which made the people even more panicked. โ€

Zhang Yuanwai said: "But what can we do, the fields near the capital are basically controlled in their hands, and the fields occupied by the people are extremely limited, and they are not enough for us, if you want to transport grain from other places, it will take a long time, and it will not work at all, and the price is not up to them." โ€

Everyone sighed, at a loss, but their eyes secretly looked at Li Qi.

Sweat! You guys are really hypocritical enough to want me to make a move, just say it, do you need to pretend to be pitiful and sympathetic here? Li Qi smiled and said, "Don't worry, everyone. โ€

Seeing that Li Qi finally spoke, Qi Feng was overjoyed and said, "Is there a good plan for the economy?" โ€

Li Qi nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will never let them succeed." I believe you also know that a few years ago, a few grain merchants from Jiangnan swept away all the low-priced grain on the market. โ€

Zhang Chun'er said: "Isn't it done by economic envoys? โ€

"Of course not." Li Qi shook his head, he understood that everyone here was like a mirror, but he would not be stupid enough to admit that this was his doing, and said: "However, I bought all the grain again, and let those grain merchants make a windfall on the spot, of course, the price I charged is also very low." โ€

Qi Feng said happily: "That's really good. โ€

Qian Yuan said: "I just don't know if the economic envoy is willing to get a piece of the pie." โ€

Li Qi said extremely cheerfully: "Of course you are willing, if you want food, you can go directly to my Drunken Immortal Ju to pick up food, and the price will be calculated according to the lowest price at the beginning." โ€

Li Qi is rare to be generous, and everyone here was stunned and couldn't believe it.

Zhang Chun'er said suspiciously: "Does the economy make this true? โ€

Li Qi nodded and said, "You'll know as soon as you go." However, I would like to ask you, do you want to solve this urgent need immediately, or do you want to force those grain merchants to lower the price of food, or in other words, to obtain a sustainable food price? If you give this batch of grain to one of our restaurants, it will be a huge amount, but if it is evenly distributed to all of you, then it will be very limited, and it will definitely not support after the autumn harvest. โ€

Everyone nodded frequently.

Qi Feng asked, "Dare to ask what is the best strategy for the economic envoy?" โ€

Li Qi smiled: "If you believe me, I promise that the price of food will be reduced, but this also needs your support." โ€

Everyone looked at each other, and Zhang Chun'er said: "I don't know what the economic envoy wants me to do?" โ€

Li Qi smiled slightly and said: "It's very simple, you only need to do two things, first, don't go to those grain merchants to buy grain, even if it's a grain of rice, don't buy them, and second, raise the price of food, and raise it hard, and the price of wine will also rise." โ€

Everyone was stunned, are you helping us, or are you helping them!

Fan Shaobai said: "But we don't have any food, and at most we can last seven or eight ri." โ€

Li Qi waved his hand and said: "No, no, no, we have raised the price, the number of guests will definitely decrease, and it will not be a problem to support a dozen ri, if you are really in difficulty, come to me, I will give you food, you just need to support this price." (To be continued......)
