Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Suddenly, there was silence in the hall.
I have heard of abandoning the pen and throwing myself into business? It's scary. You must know that the status of businessmen nowadays can be described as a humble mess, but scholars are the highest honor, and it is undoubtedly a fantasy to let officials go into business.
Not to mention Song Moquan and the others in this matter, even Wang Hao and Gao Yu and the ministers were all stunned.
This kid really dares to say anything. Only then did they understand that Li Qi did not want to challenge the status of the peasant at all, but the status of the scholar, to be honest, this joke is a bit big!
Zhao Liangsi cried. It's the same in the negotiation in Jinguo, it's still like this when you come back, don't you want someone's life, he really wants to live a few more years.
Only Zhao Kai seemed to think of something, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but he didn't make a sound, he knew that if he spoke, maybe he would add some trouble to Li Qi.
Li Qi was not in a hurry, and looked at them stupidly, pretending to be uneasy.
After a long time. Song Moquan blew his beard and glared and shouted: "Nonsense, it's really nonsense, don't you want all the scholars and businessmen in the world to be in the same stream, this is really a big joke in the world." ”
Li Qi said aggrievedly: "What Scholar Song said is really right, it can't be right, I just know that it can't be right, so I don't want to say it at first, it was the emperor who asked me to say it, alas, it's better to hand over a million yuan to Jin Guo, it's a hundred." ”
There are even shameless people in the world. Song Moquan began to go crazy, gritted his teeth and said, "Can you not mention that one million guan." ”
Li Qi said blankly: "What are you talking about?" Scholar Song is so relaxed and comfortable, I think there is already a way to share the emperor's worries. ”
Song Moquan tilted his head and said, "Don't talk nonsense, I'm not an immortal, how can I conjure a million at once." ”
I don't have the ability to go aside, rambling about something, it really destroys my sense of rhythm. Li Qi glanced at Song Moquan with disdain.
Suddenly, a slightly chubby middle-aged man beside Song Moquan stood up and said, "Doctor Li." You're clearly arguing with reason, and I see you don't take it to heart at all. ”
This person is none other than Lu Baixiao, a Hanlin scholar who was stunned by Li Qi in Wangyue Tower last time.
The defeated generals still dare to come out and take the lead, I really don't know how to write the word dead. Li Qi saw that it was Lu Baixiao, and his confidence suddenly increased, and he asked with a smile: "Why did Master Lu say this?" ”
Lu Baixiao snorted and said, "Since ancient times, Shinong, businessmen, and businessmen are the most humble people in the world, even if the emperor promises you." Who wants to go, can't it be that you let people force them to go with knives, if so, the world will be in chaos. You are deliberately trying to mislead the public and try to shirk your responsibilities, which is irresponsible, because you have no way to accomplish this plan. ”
"What a most humble man!"
Li Qi smiled and said, "Master Lu." Please go home when you have time to look at the concubines in your house, look at the luxurious clothes you wear, look at the big fish and meat in your bowl, and then think about who gave it to you. I sue you. This is what the people of the Great Song Dynasty gave you, and the money you are holding now is the hard-earned money of the most humble people in your mouth, and you are not grateful to Dade for taking the money given by others. Instead, he insulted, good, good. Mr. Lu, you are a true gentleman, Li Qi admires, admires. ”
"You."
Lu Baixiao's face turned into the color of pig liver because of Li Qi's words, and he pointed at Li Qi, his mouth trembling.
Li Qi frowned and glanced at him, and reprimanded: "Su zhì, Master Lu, don't you know that it is very rude to casually point your finger at others?" "He is now in the third grade of official residence, and he is on par with Lu Baixiao, so it is not impossible to say so.
Puff puff.
Gao Yu and the others looked at Li Qi's strict father's expression, and they couldn't help it, and laughed on the spot.
Li Bangyan said: "Doctor Li, even if what Bachelor Song and Bachelor Lu said is a little inappropriate, but what they said is not unreasonable, you suddenly mentioned the status of a merchant to the same as a scholar, it is inevitably a bit excessive, not to mention whether those scholars are willing or not, can you guarantee that the people of my Great Song Dynasty will not put down their hoes and run to business, if this is the case, then the grain output will be affected, and then my Great Song Dynasty will face an unprecedented disaster." ”
Many people nodded in agreement with Lee's words.
Li Qi said with a smile: "The emperor has already said that agriculture is the foundation of my Great Song Dynasty, and its status is unshakable, and I also said that not everyone can do businessmen, first of all, they must be literate and literate, and this alone can put an end to the road of most peasants doing business. ”
"Agriculture is the mainstay, business is supplemented?" Song Huizong nodded slightly and said, "Li Aiqing, how do you understand this?" ”
Li Qi clenched his fists and said: "Your Majesty, please Rong Weichen will use the world's unparalleled and canned fruits to illustrate this point." ”
Song Huizong nodded.
Li Qi glanced at everyone and said: "I believe you all know that the raw materials of the world's unparalleled and canned food are brewed with fruits, for example, a basket of oranges sells for ten yuan, but I use this basket to brew the canned food that is brewed in the afternoon and make zuò, I have to sell it for a hundred yuan, or even hundreds of yuan, and its profit has instantly increased ten times or even dozens of times, however, a few months ago, as soon as the canned fruit of Drunken Xianju was launched, the price of fruits inside and outside the capital immediately increased, and then after Drunken Xianju established trade with neighboring countries such as Xixia, The price of fruits has risen a lot, but the money they have increased is still not worth mentioning for the money that Drunken Xianju earns, so Drunken Immortal Ju will still buy from them, but he hates too little, and those fruit farmers also earn a lot more than before.
Master Song has a saying that is not wrong, the role of a businessman is to buy here, sell there, and earn the difference from it, but this difference is not so easy to make, businessmen must convert raw materials into commodities, so as to make money, tricks are also a science, but also to rely on their own brains, not for nothing. And the merchant can also make the currency circulate very well, establish a good circulation, this is not only that, the merchant can also introduce funds from foreign countries, to solve the problem of the lack of currency in the Song Dynasty. ”
Song Huizong's eyes widened and said, "Oh? Then come quickly. ”
"Yes."
Li Qi said: "First of all, I want to say that the scientific and technological inventions of my Great Song Dynasty are ahead of the surrounding countries more than one grade, which is our advantage, and my Great Song Dynasty trade is unprecedentedly developed, the crown of the past dynasties, its overseas trade is even more prosperous, there are countless countries with trade exchanges, such as Champong, Zhenla, Srivijaya, Kelantan, Bo Ni, Bahrain Feng, Lan Wuli, Diche, Sanyu, Dashi, Daqin, Persia, Baida, Majia, etc., its export products are, silk, porcelain, sugar, textiles, tea and so on. Take Zuixianju as an example, Zuixianju can first buy raw materials from neighboring countries at a low price, and then brew them into a unique one in the world, and then sell them at a high price, which can produce huge benefits, in other words, there will be a large amount of currency flowing into our country through the hands of merchants, which will also relieve the pressure on my Great Song Dynasty currency. In addition, some items imported by our Great Song Dynasty such as ivory, coral, agate, pearls, etc., can be made into works of art after being made by our skilled craftsmen of the Great Song Dynasty, and then sold at a high price. In addition, there is the shipbuilding industry, our shipbuilding technology is also leading the world, we can also buy timber from neighboring countries, and then make ships, and then sell them abroad by merchants, its value can be multiplied several times, there are more merchants, then the competition will be unprecedented, they will rack their brains to make money, then there will be more new products printed with the logo of our Great Song Dynasty, our Great Song Dynasty economy will be greatly improved, its tax revenue can also be greatly increased, and the savings of businessmen can not only enrich themselves, but also enrich the country and the people. ”
Song Huizong was a little fluttering when he heard this, pinched his beard, fantasized about the prosperous scene, and couldn't help but start to be complacent, haha: "That's right, that's good, I'm a great Song Dynasty Lingren, there are many talents, and his invention and creation are unparalleled, wahaha." ”
When Wang Hao heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, and also understood the reason for Li Qi's plea, and scolded secretly, this kid is really cunning, he actually retreated into advance, and relied on that million yuan to force the emperor and others to support his reform, this move is really wonderful, but unfortunately this person can't be used by me, alas, Xuan'en, this kid is a big trouble for me.
Li Bangyan frowned and said, "What you said is very reasonable, but what does this have to do with abandoning official positions and engaging in business?" ”
"That would have a lot to do with it."
Li Qi smiled slightly, and said: "I believe you all know that the fundamental reason for the financial austerity of my Great Song Dynasty is that it is redundant officials, and it is already very strict. This will never be allowed. ”
This kid is so good at talking. Song Huizong nodded and smiled: "Li Aiqing is right, then do you have a solution?" ”
Li Qi said: "The only solution is to let them resign from the government, and they can still ensure that they have no problem with food and clothing, and they will not encounter any difficulties in life, or even better." ”
Song Huizong nodded again and said, "Then where did this meal come from?" ”
"Business."
Li Qi suddenly looked at Gao Yu as he spoke, and said, "Actually, about this, Weichen also learned it from Gao Taiwei. ”
Gao Yu listened to it well, after all, he is a money fan, and he has never objected to other people's business, like Gao Yanei made money doing business, he was quite happy, Li Qi's move was his appetite, but, overhearing Li Qi bring the war to his side, he was stunned, and looked at Li Qi with a smile, fǎngfo was saying, what does this have to do with me?
Li Qi smiled at him and smiled secretly, of course this has nothing to do with you, but who told you to have so many industries, and you are a very human minister, if you are not pulled in, then how can I continue to play. (To be continued......)
