Fan Lou.

"Yo, look who's here, rare guest, rare guest."

As soon as Li Qi entered the Fan Tower, he happened to be seen by Fan Shaobai who came down from the upper floor, and hurriedly greeted him.

Li Qi said shyly: "Shaobai, don't say that, in fact, I also want to come to you to eat and drink, but I can't spare time." ”

Fan Shaobai rolled his eyes and said, "Eat and drink? Then you better continue to be busy, don't come, a small business, I can't stand your toss. ”

Li Qi said angrily: "Fan Shaobai, I haven't seen you for a long time, why have you become so stingy, the proprietor of the first floor of the dignified Tokyo is not even willing to give a bowl of friendship rice, alas, it hurts my heart too much." ”

"I'm covered in bruises." Fan Shaobai complained: "Do you know, I already have three things here that specialize in eating and drinking, if you are a friend, you can also share one of them." ”

Needless to say, what Fan Shaobai is talking about must be Gao Yanei. Li Qi immediately cleared up the relationship and said: "I can't help this, if they go to the Drunken Immortal Residence, they must pay the bill first." ”

"Next time I'll do the same, especially the guy in Gao Yanei, if you want to come to dinner, you will call me a brother and a brother, and you won't remember who Lao Tzu's surname is when you go to Yingchun Tower, it's really unreasonable." Fan Shaobai complained for a while, and then said with a straight face: "By the way, do you have anything to do with me?" ”

Li Qi said: "I'm looking for someone." ”

Fan Shaobai asked, "Who?" ”

"Salt and iron, old yellow."

Fan Shaobai was stunned, knowing that this was their officialdom, and he was not interested. Raising his head upward, he said, "The private room in the middle of the fourth floor." ”

"Thank you. Oh. Is there a private room on the 4th floor? ”

"Yes."

"Keep me one."

"Pay first."

"Sorry, I don't have any money. You know, I don't like to carry money around me. ”

"I knew it was so." Fan Shaobai shook his head helplessly and said, "I will also develop this habit when I go to your store in the future." ”

Li Qi laughed and said, "Okay, I'll go up first, and we'll talk later." ”

Come upstairs. As soon as Li Qi was about to knock on the door, he heard someone inside: "Everyone says how delicious the dishes of the Drunken Immortal Residence are, and in my opinion, the dishes of the Drunken Immortal Residence are not as good as Fan Lou!" ”

Listen to another person: "That's not true, since Li Qi took office, Drunken Xianju is basically his apprentice in charge, of course, it is not as good as this Fan Lou." The cooking skills of the Golden Knife Chef King are still far better than Song's-in-law's, tsk, just that one without a phase, which is still unforgettable. ”

Another person said: "The economic envoy's cooking skills are good, but that mouth is even more powerful." ”

This voice Li Qi is very familiar, it is Huang Xinren's voice.

"Haha. I remember, Nobuhito, in the court, apart from Wang Huang, you have dealt with him the most. ”

"I'd rather never have dealt with him than be afraid of your jokes. Anyway, as you know, now I see him coming to court. I was cautious in my heart. ”

Hum! Am I so scary? It's clear that you're a thief! Li Qi touched his cheek with a smile, not interested in listening any longer, raised his hand and knocked on the door a few times.

"Who!"

"Richie."

There was silence inside, and after a while, the door opened from the inside, and I saw an old man in Confucian clothes standing behind the door, this person Li Qi knew, surnamed Zhou, and was a doctor in the province under the door.

Li Qi bowed his hand and said hello.

The other party just nodded, not deliberately snubbing Li Qi, but he was so surprised that he lost his temper.

Huang Xinren glanced out and said, "Yo, it turned out to be an economic envoy, what a coincidence!" ”

There was hostility in the tone.

Li Qi didn't rush in in front of the door, but smiled slightly, and said: "This is not a coincidence, it's not a secret, I came here to find the salt and iron envoy." ”

Several people in the room were stunned, everyone knew that Li Qi and Huang Xinren were well water and did not violate river water, and they had no friendship at all.

Huang Xinren himself also felt a little incredible, and frowned: "Oh? I don't know what the economic envoy can teach? ”

Li Qi said: "Don't dare to give advice, after all, you are a junior." ”

Huang Xinren didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and said with a hint of resentment: "You still have less advice." ”

Li Qiwu smiled to himself, and didn't want to say more, he was really in a hurry, and said directly: "Can you ask the salt and iron envoy to move to the private room below." ”

Huang Xinren said: "Is there anything you can't say here?" ”

Li Qi said simply: "Money." ”

This is inevitably straightforward. The rest of the people looked at each other, with a hint of curiosity in their eyes, you know, now the financial power of the Great Song Dynasty is in their hands.

Huang Xinren's eyes moved left and right a few times, and he arched his hand to a few friends and said, "I'm sorry, everyone, I'll miss me for a while." As one of the three giants, he naturally understands that if you talk about money, you can't talk about feelings, one yard is one yard.

Although those people wanted to gossip about the news, they didn't want to force it, so they returned the favor.

After Huang Xinren and Li Qi came to the private room next door, as soon as they sat down, they got straight to the point and said: "Economic envoy, if you have anything to say, just say it." ”

Li Qi smiled: "To put it simply, I'm here to send money to the salt and iron envoys. ”

How dare Huang Xinren believe his words, he laughed twice lukewarmly, and said: "No, when will the economy become generous." ”

Li Qi said: "Salt and iron envoy didn't forget it, some time ago, I also sent you a big gift to the three divisions!" ”

Huang Xinren said angrily: "But as far as I know, at that time, your ordnance supervisor did not benefit less. ”

There is no impermeable wall in this world, and Huang Xinren has been in this circle for many years, how can he not notice it.

Li Qi didn't deny it, anyway, he was greedy in the name of the emperor, even if Huang Xinren knew, he didn't dare to say it. Said: "There is a way to be happy alone, is it better to be happy with everyone." I have come today for this purpose. ”

Huang Xinren sighed and said, "That's really strange, Huang is looking forward to the favor of the economic envoy!" ”

There is a lot of irony in the words. Li Qi said: "I really dare not say the favor. I'm only here to make a deal with the Salt and Iron Envoys. ”

Huang Xinren was curious: "What kind of business?" ”

Li Qi said: "Our ordnance supervisor wants to rent two smelting workshops from your three divisions. ”

Huang Xinren raised his eyebrows. Surprised: "Smelting workshop? ”

"Yes, I don't know what salt and iron want?"

Huang Xinren frowned slightly. After a moment of silence, he suddenly smiled and said, "The economic envoy won't be joking, right?" ”

Li Qi said: "Didn't the salt and iron envoy think that I came to you to laugh on purpose?" That's not the way we're going. ”

Huang Xinren said: "Since this is the case, then I will clearly tell you that you are a fool's dream." This iron-making workshop is not my private, but the imperial court's, and our three divisions are just managing it on our behalf, so how can we rent it to others at will. ”

Li Qi smiled: "How can it be said that it is rented to others at will, does it mean that the salt and iron envoy means." Isn't this armory prison a state? ”

Huang Xinren was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "I didn't say that, you don't want to fool me." ”

Li Qi smiled and said: "That's it, your three divisions will rent the smelting workshop to our ordnance supervisor, this is not the state, why should a family talk about two families?" ”

Huang Xinren said: "What you said is easy. If this smelting workshop is rented to your ordnance supervisor, then what will we use? Or you will rent the ordnance to our third division. ”

Li Qi said: "Yes, as long as you three divisions can offer a price that satisfies me." ”

Huang Xinren snorted: "That's okay, you can also offer a price that can satisfy me." ”

"Good!"

Li Qi agreed with one bite.

Huang Xinren was stunned for a moment, suddenly woke up, and knew that he had fallen for Li Qi again. But the words were out of the way, and he couldn't take them back, so he stretched out his hand and said, "Okay, you can make an offer." ”

Li Qi said seriously: "First of all, I will rent your smelting workshop. This will never delay the operation procedures of the three divisions, that is. In the past, the tasks that these two smelting workshops needed to complete every year will still be completed as scheduled, and you three divisions do not need to open two more workshops, which is equivalent to serving the imperial court, and I am only renting the management rights in your hands, not ownership; Secondly, the expenses required by these two workshops, such as the wages of the craftsmen, the replacement of equipment, etc., are all borne by our Ordnance Superintendent; In the end, our Ordnance Superintendent will pay you a fee every year. ”

He said as he wrote a number with his fingers on the table.

Huang Xinren glanced at it, it was not much, it was not surprising, but it was absolutely reasonable, and there was still a fee left. I thought, what the hell is this kid doing, isn't this cheap for us? Could it be that he wants to use this to weaken the power of our three divisions step by step? After weighing it repeatedly, he still didn't dare to agree rashly, for political reasons, he chose to refuse, shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I still can't promise you." ”

Li Qi seemed to have expected it, but then again, if he wasn't anxious, how could he be so cheap Huang Xinren said with a smile: "The salt and iron envoy refused so decisively, because he was afraid that this smelting workshop would be the next ordnance supervisor." ”

Huang Xinren did not deny it, and said: "The economy is really smart. ”

Li Qi said: "Actually, I personally came to find the salt and iron envoy today, just to show my sincerity. To tell you the truth, the main reason why I want to rent your smelting workshop is because the current smelting technology can no longer keep up with the progress of our weapon research and development, so I plan to try to research it myself. Otherwise, I will go directly to the emperor. Now that the weapons business is so good, I believe that the emperor will not be stingy with these two workshops. ”

This is also true, isn't it just two smelting workshops? If he went to the emperor for this reason, the emperor would have agreed, so why did he come to me? Huang Xinren pondered for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "I understand, the reason why you didn't go to the emperor was because I was afraid that I would secretly make a stumbling block and delay handing over the smelting workshop to your ordnance supervisor for various reasons, and I can also choose some of the ones that are worse for you." ”

What he said is not wrong at all, Li Qi is worried about this, this smelting workshop is very important, because too many places in a country need to use these metal ores, Huang Xinren can find many reasons to delay the delivery, deliberately make things difficult, and Li Qi does not have much time to spend with him.

Li Qi smiled and nodded, "This is just one of the reasons." All in all, I have no intention of infringing on the power of the three divisions, I just want to develop more powerful weapons and be able to make more money, that's all, and our weapons supervisor has made money, and your three divisions will naturally make money, so why not. ”

If I don't agree to him, he will eventually go to the emperor to ask for it, and then I can delay it for a while, and finally I have to agree to him, maybe we will have to pay the fee, in this case, why don't I sell my favor to him, so as not to lose a big one because of a small one. Huang Xinren weighed it and said, "I still have to go back and discuss this matter with others." ”

Li Qi knew that this matter was already secure, and took out a contract from his arms and said: "This is a lease contract, I hope we can cooperate happily, and I also believe that there will be more opportunities for cooperation in the future." ”

Huang Xinren was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "It turns out that you are even ready for the contract, so sure I will definitely agree to you?" ”

Li Qi smiled: "I don't talk about uncertain business, and as a chef, I don't like to delay other people's meals." ”

What a confidence. (To be continued)
