Regardless of whether Muhammad and others were moved by affection, or reasoned, or even used money to attack, Li Qiwu did not change his mind and vetoed it in one bite, to put it simply, no temptation allowed him to betray the interests of the motherland, this is the bottom line.

God knows if the early arrival of canned food in Europe will trigger a Eurasian war.

Muhammad saw Rich's direct refusal and knew that it was hopeless, but fortunately Richie did not agree to Ilte, so he had only a draw with Byzantium.

However, he didn't dare to offend Li Qi because of this, if Li Qi was annoyed and helped Byzantium for free, then their big food would not be worth the loss.

Although Li Qi did not agree to sell them the secret recipe for canned food, the initiative was in his own hands, because neither of them wanted Li Qi to sell the canned food to the other party, so they wanted to tie up Li Qi even more.

In the next few days, the focus was on the sale and purchase of ships, and Li Qi clearly marked the price without taking sides.

All coastal countries have placed orders. For this reason, Song Huizong also took these envoys to visit the "aircraft carrier" of the Northern Song Dynasty, which he was proud of and named "Shenzhou".

The Northern Song Dynasty built the capital of Kaifeng, the southeast transport is very important, the ship is an indispensable means of transport, the water trade must be prosperous, in the Zhenzong period, the annual output of more than 2,900 ships. Shipbuilding technology is leading the world, once the Fujian shipyard is put into use, the output will be doubled. In fact, a long time ago, almost all the merchant ships used by various countries were made in the Great Song Dynasty, which is the interest in promoting science and technology!

However, this year, the Northern Song Dynasty sold warships to the outside world for the first time, which is also very attractive, coupled with the promotion of maritime trade, it is even more impossible to refuse.

In addition, Byzantium and Dashi also purchased a lot of bed crossbows, which were modified. It is specially used to install on the warship, what kind of naval military competition is the two countries are engaged in now, and there is no cannon on the sea now, so the bow and crossbow are the main tools against the enemy, and for the bow and crossbow of the Great Song Dynasty, how can they let it go.

What they wanted, however, was the latest development of the Great Song Dynasty with a gunpowder crossbow, a mysterious and fearsome crossbow that had become famous since the Great War of Lanzhou.

But. Richie rejected them on the grounds that the number of such weapons was extremely small and difficult to produce, 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 because these were some weapons that were about to be eliminated, and he would never sell the most advanced weapons of the Great Song Dynasty to anyone, at least the Great Song Dynasty did not have this strength at present.

Three days before New Year's Day, this marathon of trade negotiations finally came to an end.

This time the money involved. It is also a record of 14 countries, regimes, hundreds of businessmen, and a total amount of money invested. It has reached about 20 million, which is unprecedented.

Da Song undoubtedly became the biggest winner of this trade.

Today, who would dare to despise businessmen. The entire Jingdong has fallen into a sea of jubilation, and this year's attention will be recorded in the annals of history.

The crown prince Zhao Huan is also a blockbuster, and now everyone mentions the prince. Everyone gave a thumbs up, and although Li Qi was hidden at home in this negotiation, he was already a god-like existence in the heart of a businessman, even if he said that the sun would not rise tomorrow, the people would be convinced.

The ministers of the DPRK and China also know that after this time, the new law is unshakable, those conservatives have invested in the new law in desperation, others are making money, if you are conservative, sooner or later the poor will not even have to wear pants, in fact, a long time ago, some conservatives secretly instructed their relatives to do business to make money.

When Song Huizong and a cadre of ministers heard Zhao Huan say this number, they were stunned. You must know that since Song Huizong, the faint monarch, ascended 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, and in the year of the Fang La rebellion, the treasury income was only 30 million yuan, only less than one-fifth of the peak of the Northern Song Dynasty, and last year was not much worse.

This year, because of the implementation of the new law, the agricultural tax has been reduced on a large scale, but the commercial tax has increased sharply, coupled with the birth of the arms trade and the trade transaction at the end of the year, the GDP has reached nearly 6,000 yuan, which has directly doubled.

Song Huizong laughed, he couldn't stop, this business was so cool, after laughing, he laughed angrily, coughed violently, and looked at Zhao Huan with affection, eager to hug him and kiss him a few times.

Of course, he didn't kiss, but praised Zhao Huan fiercely, and praised Li Qi again. Although he often does unbelievable things, people are not confused, knowing that this is Li Qi's intention to let Zhao Huan get exercised and improve his reputation.

Zhao Huan hurriedly stood up and said: "Father, this merit, the sons dare not take the first credit, this is all due to the joint efforts of the Taishi, Honglu Temple, the Bureau of Commerce, and the tens of millions of businessmen in my Great Song Dynasty, to get this result." ”

Li Qi also stood up and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said is very true, this credit should belong to everyone in my Great Song Dynasty, and it is definitely not something that one person can complete." ”

Song Huizong nodded and said, "Okay, what the two Aiqing said is really good, this is the joint efforts of my Great Song subjects." As he spoke, he suddenly stopped and said, "If you ministers and scholars have merit, I can directly reward them, but I can't reward those merchants one by one, which is too unfair to them, that's not good." Speaking of this, he pondered for a moment and said: "When Li Qi had not yet put forward the term 'economic construction,' the meaning of economy was to help the people through the world, which was also very consistent with the original intention of economic construction. In this way, every three years, the imperial court selects a merchant who has made outstanding contributions to our Great Song Dynasty, and I have named him a scholar with a six-rank official rank, and I personally write a plaque to give him. ”

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar below.

That's a great idea! Exercise! Could it be that this faint king has opened his mind? Richie let out a whisper of goodness.

Song Moquan stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is a little inappropriate, allowing businessmen to participate in the scientific examination in the future is already a great grace, if you name it as a doctor again, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the world's scholars to accept." ”

Song Huizong was now overwhelmed by those tens of millions of guan, and his mood was so good that he couldn't do it, he waved his hand and said, "Hey! Song Aiqing is inevitably a little too rigid about the subtleties, this is just an honor. There is no power, why not, no matter who it is, as long as it can help my Great Song earn tens of millions of yuan, I can also reward them. ”

Tens of millions? Song Moquan was dumbfounded, where did he dare to have a little temper, and he couldn't do anything.

Cai Jing stood up and said, "The old minister thinks that the emperor's idea is really wonderful. This move can not help but reflect the emperor's sage, but also improve the enthusiasm of our country's businessmen, and will definitely bring more wealth to our Great Song Dynasty. ”

Among the ministers. He is the only one who understands the mind of Song Huizong, after this time, the power of the merchant has been strengthened, as the emperor, he naturally has to consolidate the imperial power, win the hearts of the people, and must no longer treat the merchant like before, this is the so-called imperial art.

When the other ministers heard this, they all groaned to themselves. also immediately understood the intention of Song Huizong's move. Li Qi, who realized it later, also suddenly realized, and secretly thought, the emperor is the emperor after all, and his consideration is always different from others.

Song Huizong haha: "Or Aiqing, you know me." That's what I mean. ”

Li Bangyan suddenly said: "Then who will be qualified to receive this honor for the first time?" ”

"This!"

The eyes of the ministers were all on the same person.

Needless to say, it must be Richie. Now Zuixianju is known as a model of private enterprises, and Li Qi is the head of businessmen, so it is not an exaggeration to choose him!

Song Huizong thought to himself. Given to Li Qi, it is too uninspiring, and it cannot reflect his imperial grace. It is even more impossible to win the hearts of merchants. So he said: "Forget about Li Qi, this economic envoy is already unique in my Great Song Dynasty, and he is already an official of my Great Song Dynasty, so let this honor be given to others." ”

Li Qi was rare, and said busily: "What the emperor said is that Weichen is embarrassed to ask for this honor." ”

Li Bangyan said again: "There is a candidate for the minister. ”

"Oh? Aiqing, hurry up. ”

Li Bangyan said: "It's the son of the captain, Gao Yaokang." ”

"Poof!"

As soon as he finished speaking, many ministers couldn't help but laugh.

He is worthy of being the prime minister of the prodigal son! The people who recommend it are so coquettish. Li Qi hid behind and snickered, if it weren't for Brother Yu's face, he would probably laugh out loud.

Gao Yu looked at Li Bangyan expressionlessly, and had an urge to fight him alone.

When Song Huizong thought of Gao Yanei, he burst out laughing, but when he saw that Brother Yu's face was not very good, he suppressed his laughter and asked seriously: "I want to hear Aiqing's opinion." ”

Li Bangyan said: "According to Weichen, the Qingtian Charity Foundation established by Gao Yaokang has helped many poor people, and it is precisely because of his generosity that many people have survived the difficulties, and now they are craftsmen, or merchants, or farmers, or boatmen, which are very good to promote the development of the economy of the Great Song Dynasty, and this is not only a certain aspect, it can be said to be very comprehensive, in addition, the last Fengxiang incident, Gao Yaokang is also indispensable, this is a doctor, he deserves it." ”

Hearing him say this, everyone felt that there was some truth, Gao Yanei spent a lot of effort in order to get the praise of the people, no matter what the purpose, his efforts should not be erased lightly by anyone. It's just that in view of Gao Yanei's reputation, it makes them feel quite awkward.

Gao Yu's face was red, and he hurriedly stood up and said: "Your Majesty, how can you be a son of evil, you can deserve this honor, Weichen implores the emperor to exclude the son, otherwise, Weichen's old face doesn't know where to put it." ”

What a knowing son, Mo Ruo's father!

Li Bangyan smiled and said: "Taiwei, don't you avoid relatives, besides, this is a good thing, why should you be humble." ”

This shameless old man is sincerely trying to embarrass me. Gao Yu shook his head and said: "It's rare for a son of a son to be favored by the left, and I am also very pleased, but this honor of a son of evil is not daring to be a son of honor no matter what." ”

Seeing Gao Yu so embarrassed, Cai Jing smiled lightly, and then stood up to relieve the siege and said: "Your Majesty, Gao Yaoshun is the son of Taiwei after all, if this honor is given to him, I am afraid it will make people feel unfair." ”

Gao Yu hurriedly nodded and said, "What the Taishi said is true, what the Taishi said is true." ”

Song Huizong also nodded and said, "Hmm." Aiqing has a point. Do you have any other candidates? He just listened to it as a joke, and had no idea of giving this honor to Gao Yanei, a.

Gao Yu breathed a sigh of relief. If Gao Yanei becomes this world-renowned doctor, what a joke it will be!

At this time, one person suddenly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen has a good candidate." ”

This person is Zheng Yi's cousin, Zheng Yifu.

Song Huizong said: "Zheng Aiqing, hurry up." ”

Zheng Yifu's eyes suddenly fell on Bai Shizhong, and said: "This is the daughter of the right prime minister, the wife of the economic envoy." Bai family seven mothers, Bai Qiannuo. ”

"Women?"

Quite a few people exclaimed.

Zheng Yifu didn't care, and said: "There is a way that women don't let their eyebrows, although Bai Qiniang is a daughter, but her business ability can also be among the best in my Great Song Dynasty." Since Bai Qiniang went to Jiangnan, she has spared no effort to help the government restore the economy of Jiangnan, and the cooperation between the government and the people has achieved very remarkable results, and has also helped many people get rid of poverty and become rich. A businessman is able to enrich himself. This is not a difficult thing, but when it comes to bringing the people of a rich state, or even more than that, it is not something that everyone can do, so it is worthy of the name that the doctor gave to Bai Qi Niang. ”

Wechen absolutely agrees with Dr. Zheng's words. Qi Niang, she is well deserved. Li Qi hurriedly stood up and said.

Song Huizong said: "Li Qi, you don't shy away from suspicion at all!" ”

Li Qi said: "Your Majesty, you don't shy away from your relatives." Qi Niang has to have this ability, and I, as a husband, can speak for her confidently. ”

Song Huizong nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, about the deeds of the Bai family's seven mothers." I've also heard a lot, and Hangzhou Governor Zheng is also on the chapter, and she is mentioned repeatedly, um. This is indeed a good candidate. ”

Bai Shizhong hurriedly stood up. said: "Your Majesty, this little girl must not accept this title." ”

Song Huizong said: "Oh? Why is that? ”

Bai Shizhong said: "If the little girl is a man, then I, as a father, will be happy for her." But the little girl is a daughter, and since the founding of the People's Republic of China, I have never had a female doctor, so I also asked the emperor to choose someone else. ”

Li Qi complained: "Old man, is there always a first time in everything." You can't erase Qi Niang's merits because of gender, this makes me feel embarrassed by thousands of female compatriots in the Song Dynasty, and women's meritorious service is not considered meritorious. ”

Bai Shizhong glared at Li Qi and said, "Can you say a few words." "He's an old stubborn, he can't accept such things, even if it's the daughter of other ministers, he will also oppose it.

Li Qi pursed his lips and turned his head, obviously unconvinced.

Song Huizong saw that their son-in-law was arguing, and he felt funny, and said, "What do you think? ”

Many ministers have stood up and said that it is really inappropriate to make a woman a doctor.

Li Qi didn't want to say much, after all, this is a patriarchal 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 had always been very advanced, otherwise, he would not have thought of digging tunnels to cheat, is this something that ordinary people can do. It's just that when he saw that the ministers were all opposed, he could only give up, and said to Li Qi: "Li Qi, as an economic envoy, I want to hear your advice." ”

I chose Qi Niang, but you didn't agree, and asked me what I did. Although Li Qi was a little unhappy in his heart, he also knew that this could not be changed, and he pondered for a moment, and said: "Wei Chen mentioned Zhou Qing, the owner of the Zhou Family Silk Village, this person has been in business for many years, is kind, treats people with integrity, never deceives customers, cheats, ten years as a day, but any product from their Zhou Family Silk Village is reassuring, it can be said that it is my Great Song Dynasty inspection-free product, which also refutes the sentence that there is no business and no traitor, and Weichen feels that he can set an example for Zhou Qing as my Great Song Dynasty businessman. In addition, silk is also a symbol of the Great Song Dynasty trade, and it is very suitable for him to receive this title. ”

The rest of the crowd nodded in agreement.

Song Huizong also had some impressions of Zhou Qing, and had a good impression, and said: "That's good, I will make Zhou Qing the first doctor in my Great Song Dynasty." ”

"Your Majesty."

The ministers said in unison.

Song Huizong laughed, suddenly remembered something, and asked, "By the way, Li Qi, how did you prepare for the New Year's Day banquet?" ”

Li Qi said: "Back to the emperor, Wechen has been prepared, this year's New Year's Day banquet will be arranged in Xiangguo Temple, tomorrow, Wechen will hand over a detailed itinerary." ”

"Xiangguoji?"

A group of ministers were puzzled, this was the first time!

Song Huizong was looking forward to it, he had been bored in this palace for a long time, and he always wanted to go out for a walk, so he smiled: "Okay." I have faith in you. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

．

．

Xiangguoji is not only a temple, but the scale can be comparable to a small town, it is also the economic center of Tokyo, in the northeast corner of Xiangguoji Temple, there is a street, in fact, strictly speaking, not even a street, this place was originally for people to do business. However, because the geographical location is too remote, few guests come here, and over time, it is deserted, and later it can only be used for some people to live.

However, since a month ago, both ends of the street have been cordoned off and no one is allowed to enter without permission. At first, no one knew why. It wasn't until half a month ago that the steward of Xiangguo Temple learned from Li Qi that this year's New Year's Day banquet would be held here, which frightened the steward and immediately cheered up and prepared.

This afternoon.

"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 snorted and said, "Watch closely, you can't afford any accidents." ”

"Yes."

Li Qi nodded tiredly. Then I walked to the left, walked for about a cup of tea, and came to a clearing, but saw a large shed in the clearing. When I entered the shed, I saw a wooden stage in front of me, and the group of prostitutes in the high yaya were making a prowst on it.

This is where the performance takes place on New Year's Day, and now it's New Year's Day. The final rehearsal of the play has also begun!

Since everything is kept secret now, ordinary people are not allowed to enter. Xu Fei and others often come to help, but today there is one more guest, and that is Fan Shaobai.

When Fan Shaobai saw Li Qi coming, he greeted him and asked with a smile, "You have it done over there." ”

"Almost."

Li Qi nodded and said with a smile: "Thank you for your help this time." ”

Fan Shaobai said: "Where is this, if Sister-in-law Song can get the guidance of your Golden Knife Chef, it will be her blessing, and it will also be of great benefit to my Fan Lou." It's just that you're so mysterious that even I won't be allowed to enter. ”

Li Qi smiled: "Habit, habit." ”

Fan Shaobai said tentatively: "By the way, I heard from Sister-in-law Song that the dishes prepared this time are very special, I asked her what kind of dishes they were, and she didn't explain clearly, whether it was the cooking method or the taste, they were completely different from my Da Song dishes." ”

Li Qi smiled mysteriously and said, "I can only sue you for this world-level feast." ”

Fan Shaobai was stunned, he still didn't understand, and 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?" ”

"Shortly after arriving."

Li Qi smiled, suddenly saw Zhou Hua wearing a big red robe, and said with a smile: "Fatty, you are wearing a very bright dress today, didn't you take another concubine?" ”

Zhou Hua grinned and said: "Big brother, what do you say, isn't this the emperor who named my father as the doctor of the world, and also gave our Zhou family a plaque, this is an unprecedented honor, we naturally have to wear a little festive!" ”

Fan Shaobai heard this, and a flash of envy flashed in his eyes.

Yesterday, the emperor personally issued a holy decree to entitle Zhou Qing as a doctor of the world, and also gave him a plaque of "helping the people through the world" written by himself, and also released the news that every three years, a businessman who has made the most contributions to the Great Song Dynasty will be selected and given such rewards.

This is a shock to the capital! The merchants of the whole city were happy and excited, but the scholars had a lot of complaints about this, but there was no way, now the momentum of the merchants was too strong, and they could only avoid their edge.

Li Qi said: "This is as it should be, but unfortunately I had something to do yesterday and couldn't go, your father must be happy." ”

Last night, the Zhou family was very lively, almost all the businessmen in the capital went, this is a milestone for the businessmen, how could they not celebrate this historic moment. Zhou Qing was not originally a high-profile person, but this is not a trivial matter, you have to die, the more sensational the better, you can't lose the emperor's face.

Zhou Hua said: "Isn't it, my father was so happy that he almost fainted." ”

"Isn't that faint yet?"

When Zhou Hua was rising, a gloomy voice suddenly sounded behind him.

Zhou Hua was frightened, and turned his head to see that it was Gao Yanei. I saw Gao Yanei not saying a word, looking at him resentfully.

Li Qi glanced at the stage, and saw that Hong Tianjiu and the others were still practicing, and frowned: "Yanei, you don't practice well, what are you doing standing here?" ”

Gao Yanei said angrily: "Can't I rest for a while?" As he spoke, he squinted at Zhou Hua again, his eyes were quite complicated.

Zhou Hua was looked at by him like this, and he panicked in his heart, and couldn't help but move towards Li Qi.

Gao Ya pursed his mouth and said, "What is there to brag about." ”

Li Qi smiled: "What are you doing here?" ”

"I didn't do anything, I just was in a bad mood." Gao Yanei pouted.

Li Qi said: "What? I'm tired of the drill! ”

Fan Shaobai laughed and said, "This guy is jealous that Doctor Jingshi gave it to Uncle Zhou and didn't give it to him." ”

Gao Yanei snorted: "Shaobai, have you ever read a word, this plaque belongs to me, it was my father's bad brain, he actually helped outsiders, and he didn't help my own son." Li Qi, you were there at the time, and you also know whether this plaque belongs to me or not. ”

Dare to love this guy for this! Li Qi smiled and asked, "How did you know that?" ”

Gao Yanei said: "When I bowed with Uncle Li this morning, he sued me, I knew it was so, I didn't go to Zhou's house last night to congratulate, and I said a lot of nonsense stupidly." ”

He was still relatively simple, and he didn't expect that on the day of the discussion, he actually had a share, and later Li Bangyan sued him, and he suddenly realized.

This prodigal prime minister seems to have a blood feud with his brother! 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 little suffering, look at you and see that you are as knowledgeable as Shaobai, I have to wait for three years." Daddy didn't do it kindly this time, Uncle Li was good to me, and it was not in vain that I invited him to the Spring Festival Building three times and several times to have fun. ”

Dare to love you as a friend of life and death who has prostituted a prostitute, no wonder the feelings are deep. Richie nodded in understanding.
