At the same time that the currency crisis in Jiangnan has just been eased, the situation in Tokyo has also begun to turn in the direction of Li Qi, which is also due to Li Qi's second card, that is, policy.
After the lottery to buy rice for seven ri, Li Qi used the Great Song Times Weekly to begin to carry out overwhelming propaganda on the Changping system, and the content of the current propaganda is not to dissect this system from the depths, but also to explain what benefits this system will have for the regulation of grain prices, and also said that it may be popularized throughout the country within this year.
However, if you read this article carefully, you will find that many of them are ambiguous, especially in terms of the RI period, either "not ri", or "as much as possible", what "maybe" and "perhaps" are interspersed with the full text, the only certainty is that the imperial court has approved it, which makes the people itch, expectant and depressed.
As early as a few years ago, the imperial court decided to enable this system, and for this reason, a new department was specially established, called the Agricultural Bureau, which was temporarily attributed to the Bureau of Commerce, that is, the Bureau of Commerce and Dazai Cai Jing were at the helm, and the Ministry of Commerce, the Third Division, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Criminal Affairs cooperated with each other and checked and balanced. They still have a burning heart to serve the court and ask for the people's lives, and besides, the newcomers are young and full of energy, as long as they send some experienced officials to preside over the overall situation.
Different from Wang Anshi's green seedling method, when the green seedling method was first implemented, it was only tested in one county, and this time the place of the Changping test covered almost the entire south of the Yangtze River.
This is naturally Li Qi's attention, because Jiangnan has basically been abolished, corrupt officials are everywhere, how can there be a law, and now it is a hundred wastes waiting to be revived, so no matter how bad you are, it is impossible to be worse than now, in this case, testing the new law in Jiangnan will undoubtedly minimize the loss. Song Huizong and they are not stupid, and after listening to what Li Qi said, it was reasonable and well-founded, so they naturally agreed.
However, the new policy of the imperial court was released, and the people were full of confidence in the price of grain, so they would not be in a hurry to buy grain, of course, the lottery still had to go, first, they believed that the price of grain would drop again, and it would not drop to 180 Wen in just one month, and second, this is also quite exciting, and everyone is also very interested in this way of selling.
But in this way, those big grain merchants can be uncomfortable, as soon as the policy of the imperial court comes out, the people are putting on a posture of waiting for death, if you don't reduce the price, I won't buy it, I will save food, I will consume it with you.
If this is usual, they can afford it, after all, sooner or later you will run out of rice, but now they have a lot of old rice in their hands, if it is not sold in the autumn harvest, they will lose miserably, and after the autumn harvest, the grain will be sufficient, and the people will choose to wait for the introduction of policies.
Seeing that the situation was extremely bad, they finally admitted defeat, and this time, several rice banks in the capital lowered the price of rice to 200 Wen at the same time.
"The price has dropped, the price of rice has dropped."
"The price of Gujia Rice Shop has been reduced."
Everywhere in the streets, you can hear some teenagers running around the streets, shouting loudly.
"Don't squeeze, don't squeeze."
"I'll come first!"
"I came first."
I saw that the front of the major rice shops was full of people, where was buying rice, it was clearly grabbing rice, which also made the major grain merchants breathe a sigh of relief, they were really afraid that Li Qi would chase and beat him.
Of course, there are also a lot of people in the rice shop in Zuixianju, after all, there are still twenty less Wen here, and some people who are not in urgent need of food are still willing to try their luck here.
Fan Lou.
"Economic envoys, as you expected, they have finally begun to reduce prices, I believe that it will not be long before the rest of the prices will come down, by the way, when will we reduce prices?" Fan Shaobai stood on the fourth floor, looking at the Gujia rice shop in the distance, and said with a smile.
Li Qi rolled his eyes and said, "Then it goes without saying, we have to descend today, otherwise, the guests will have to scold our businessmen." ”
Fan Shaobai said: "Haven't you always been proud of Jiān business? ”
"I didn't say that." Li Qi said angrily: "My attitude towards enemies and my treatment of guests are diametrically opposed, and I never cheat guests out of their money." ”
Fan Shaobai pouted and said: "I don't know who shouted the sky-high stinky tofu at the beginning. ”
Sweat! I don't even remember this old account, you still remember! Li Qi coughed lightly and said, "Heroes don't ask for a way out." Saying that, he quickly changed the topic and said, "By the way, did your people send out?" ”
Fan Shaobai pointed forward with his white hand and said, "Isn't it all there?" The rest of the restaurants also sent people to grab the rice, but I don't think it will take a long time for them to react. ”
Li Qi smiled: "What can you do if you understand?" Can they stop it? Anyway, whoever sells it is not sold, and we will directly reduce the price of rice to 199 Wen. ”
Fan Shaobai ha: "This loss-making business is really cool." ”
At this time, a bartender came up and saluted: "Economic envoy, Deputy Supervisor Yu of the Ordnance Supervisor is here, and he said that he is here to find you." ”
Li Qi was slightly stunned, and hurriedly said, "Bring him up." ”
"Yes."
Fan Shaobai said with interest: "I'll go and get busy first, you guys talk slowly." ”
Not long after he left, Yu Qi walked up and saluted: "The lower official has seen the supervisor." ”
Li Qi hummed, invited him to sit down, personally poured a cup of tea for him, and said with a smile: "Deputy supervisor, this piece of riddle is really hard for you." ”
"Where, where, this is my business, how dare I talk about hard work." Yu Qi said with a hint of trepidation.
Li Qi smiled and asked, "How are you doing now?" ”
"It's all right, several batches of weapons have been shipped."
"That's good."
Yu Qi said again: "I don't know when the supervisor will go to the ordnance superintendent?" ”
Li Qi sighed and said with a wry smile: "I'm really sorry, since I took office again, I have too many things to do, so I haven't been to the Ordnance Prison, but this is also because of you, I will be so relieved." ”
It turned out that after Li Qi returned to office, he has been busy with this and that, and he has never been to the ordnance prison.
You don't look like you're very busy right now! Yu Qi's face is slightly weird. Li Qi saw what he was thinking at a glance, and said seriously: "Deputy supervisor, you have misunderstood, I didn't come to Fanlou to have fun, but to do business, besides, I can afford to run here to spend money." ”
Yu Qi naturally didn't dare to say more, so he nodded his head curtly.
Li Qi asked again, "By the way, did you come to me today for something?" ”
Yu Qi then remembered the purpose of this trip, and hurriedly said: "Oh, that's right, there is news from the Wu brothers that those bed crossbows have been transformed, and they have also invented a new weapon called a musket. ”
"Poof!"
Li Qi immediately squirted out a mouthful of tea, wiped his mouth hurriedly, and said, "Wait, what did you just say?" Fire-muskets? ”
Yu Qi nodded and said, "That's right!" ”
No way? The technology of these years can still make muskets, so Lao Tzu won't cross again, right? Li Qi hurriedly got up and said, "What does that musket look like?" ”
Yu Qi said: "The supervisor won't forget it, this matter must have your approval before I can go to see it." ”
"Yes, yes, I almost forgot." Li Qi nodded a few times, and said excitedly: "Let's go and see, MD, if you really get a musket for them, Lao Tzu will reward him with a thousand times." ”
Why are adults so excited? Before Yu Qi came back to his senses, he was pulled downstairs by Li Qi.
However, as soon as he came to the door, Chen Anan suddenly ran over, panting and said, "Big brother, you go back to the house quickly." ”
Li Qi frowned and said, "What's wrong?" ”
Chen Anan glanced at Yu Qi, then came to Li Qi's side and whispered a few words in his ear. Li Qi's eyes widened and he said, "Really? ”
Chen Anan nodded and said, "Do I dare to lie to you?" ”
"He's really good at timing."
Li Qi muttered in a low voice, and said to Yu Qi: "Deputy Supervisor, please inform Wu Youhua and ask him to prepare his things, and I will go over to check in the afternoon." ”
Yu Qi saw that Li Qishen was a little nervous, so he didn't dare to ask more, so he nodded in response.
After bidding farewell to Yu Qi, Li Qi hurried back to the Qin Mansion. In front of the door, he tidied up his clothes a little, and then walked in with his legs up, and came to the front hall, only to see five distinguished guests in the hall, one in the middle was none other than Song Huizong, and the other four were Liang Shicheng, Cai Jing, Li Bangyan and Wang Zhongling.
"Richie has seen big officials."
Richie bowed forward.
"Excuse me, excuse me." Song Huizong waved his hand.
Li Qi said tentatively: "Big official, why are you here?" ”
Song Huizong said: "I heard that there has been a lottery to buy rice in the capital recently, so I want to come to see and try my luck." ”
Dizzy! Dare to love you, you're here to tease Lao Tzu. Li Qi sneered and said: "The big officials are laughing, this is just a small gimmick I made, there is nothing to see." ”
Song Huizong haha: "Gimmick? Your little gimmick can make those grain merchants miserable, and Fang Cai Shimei also told me that the price of grain has dropped today, and you really didn't disappoint me! ”
Li Qi said: "The big official has won the award." ”
Song Huizong said again: "I'll talk about this later, I have to ask you something, I heard that you have recently brewed a new style of unparalleled in the world, and it is particularly delicious, I don't know if there is such a thing?" ”
"Well, that's the case, I don't know who the big officials listened to?" Li Qi was surprised.
Song Huizong snorted and said, "I still learned from Su Shilie's mouth that as my courtier, you brewed fine wine, and it was really unreasonable to give it to outsiders to drink first. ”
cāo! This Su Shilie is really not righteous, Lao Tzu is so good to you, you even put me together before leaving, next time Lao Tzu will pee for you to drink. Li Qi was full of resentment, but said: "Big official, you really blame me for this." ”
Song Huizong sighed and said, "How do you say this?" ”
Li Qizheng said: "Because I have added a new material to this kind of world, so after brewing, I must find someone to try it, alas, I am ashamed to say it, the people around me are some timid people, no one wants to try the wine, and I don't drink, just when Su Shilie came, others were very bold, I sent some to him every day to drink, after a period of observation, I found that he did not appear any abnormalities, so I found a few more people to try the wine, until recently, I just affirmed that this wine is absolutely safe, I was trying to contribute to the big officials, but who knew that the big officials would come today, what a coincidence. ”
Song Huizong and the others looked at each other when they heard this, and suddenly they all laughed.
After laughing, Song Huizong pointed at Li Qi and said: "You kid makes excuses, it's really unmatched, it's really not easy to cure your crimes!" That's it, that's it, I'll settle this account with you later, you quickly bring the wine, listen to what Su Shilie said is so good, I can't wait. ”
"Yes."
Cai Jing suddenly said: "Big official, there is no banquet without wine and food, I haven't tasted the craftsmanship of the Golden Knife Chef for a long time, why not ask him to get a few dishes of wine and tea, it will be regarded as a punishment for him." ”
Old man, you're almost in the ground, and you're still so greedy. Li Qi cursed in his heart.
Li Bangyan said: "Since it is a punishment, it must be difficult, big official, it is better to let the Golden Knife Chef make a few dishes that we have never tasted in one hour." ”
Song Huizong's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said, "This method is good." He smiled at Li Qi again: "Li Qi, do you understand, if you can't do it, then I can cure you for the crime of bullying the king." ”
Li Qi was speechless, and said distressedly: "Big official, this-this is the same as bullying the king." ”
"Huh?"
"I'll go now, big official, please wait a moment."
Li Qi ran out as soon as he slipped away, and faintly heard him shouting anxiously: "Aunt Chen, go find a duck, remember to be thinner, I have been preferring skinny beauty recently." ”
Skinny?
Song Huizong and the others laughed again.
