Li Qi's ability to fool people can be seen, Gao Yu is indeed a little moved, but he is not a fool, the current situation, he is equivalent to taking the money of the imperial court, doing his own business, this is a business without capital, only make money and do not lose, when as Li Qi said, those soldiers have become his employees, then he has to pay for his salary, so he has to pay for his salary, so he has to pay for an additional expenditure, so he has to think carefully.

Li Qi saw the concerns in Gao Yu's heart at a glance, and said: "Taiwei, now that business is in the stage of recovery, this opportunity is rare in a century, expand the scale of production, build factories, increase production, and make much more money than now, in the long run, this is absolutely beneficial and harmless, and if Taiwei's industry spreads all over the country, then the position of the DPRK and China will be more solid." ”

Gao Yu nodded and said, "But this matter is not up to me, nor is it up to you, and the emperor has to agree, you must know that disarmament is not a trivial matter!" How can I convince the Emperor? ”

Li Qi said: "Money." ”

"Money?"

"Not bad." Li Qi nodded and said: "Although the salary of the army has always been pitiful, but there are many people, it is a lot of expenditure, however, if the army is abandoned, then the imperial court will reduce an expenditure, and then allocate a sum of money from the saved expenditure to the army that will be expanded in the future, when the soldiers will be reduced, and the expenditure will also be reduced, but the army will be good, this is to remove its dross, retain its glory, and the manpower outside has increased, and the business recovery will be faster, and it can be counted in one fell swoop. Why wouldn't the emperor do it. In fact, it is a helpless move for my Great Song Dynasty to recruit disaster victims as soldiers, and if there is a way to solve it, the emperor will definitely agree. ”

Gao Yu weighed it and asked, "Then how many people do you plan to expand the army?" ”

"Forty thousand." Richie held up four fingers.

"Forty thousand." Gao Yu pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "This number is also appropriate." Let me think again. ”

Li Qi couldn't help but be a little disappointed when he saw that Gao Yu didn't agree directly, in fact, he originally wanted to fool Song Huizong in person, but he had to know that there was also a privy envoy Cai You over there, if he came forward, whether it was reasonable or not, Cai You would definitely stand up and oppose it, so he could only ask Gao Yu to say it

．

After another three ri, Gao Yu weighed it again and again, and finally chose to adopt Li Qi's construction, after all, the rise of the Zhou family silk village was in front of him, and he made a statement to Song Huizong, asking for the reduction of the lower army and the expansion of the upper fourth army.

Song Huizong almost didn't think much about it, so he agreed, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty also agreed, saying that a thousand ways and ten thousand, this is all money is making trouble, after all, today's court is poor jingling, and Song Huizong is a luxurious emperor, he naturally doesn't want to waste this money on those disaster victims, and Gao Yu is sure to settle those people, how can he refuse.

Although Song Huizong quickly agreed, this disarmament is not a trivial matter, and it does not mean that it can be laid off, and it has to go through a series of careful arrangements, and the work of dealing with the aftermath must be in place. Gao Yu, the shopkeeper, naturally handed over this task to Li Qi again, who called this idea from you, Li Qi gladly accepted. Although this matter is urgent, because the Chinese New Year is approaching, Li Qi still postponed the implementation of the disarmament plan until next year

．

In the blink of an eye, the New Year's Festival is approaching, every household has begun to prepare for the New Year, the lanterns are colorful, the sound of firecrackers is endless, the people are immersed in the joyful atmosphere, the purchase of New Year's goods is necessary, consumption has also increased greatly, whether it is the present or the future, before the New Year, these RI are undoubtedly the festival of businessmen.

Qin Mansion.

Wu Furong and Li Qi sat by the fire, summing up the harvest of the year and discussing the New Year.

This year is undoubtedly a bumper year for Zuixianju, in addition to the debts repaid to Cai Minde and others, there is also a net income of 100,000 guan, you must know that this does not include the wine money on the Western Xia side, because those wine money has been directly exchanged into horses, but even so, the annual income of 100,000 guan is a record and has become a model for all businessmen. Although Wu Furong had long passed that excitement period, in the face of such an amount, he couldn't help but be happy and didn't sleep for a few nights.

Li Qi checked the accounts, closed the account book, and suddenly asked, "By the way, Uncle Wu, how is the staff dormitory built?" ”

Wu Furong hurriedly said: "I also want to discuss this matter with you, the dormitory has already been built, and last month, the people in the group company have already moved in, but we have recruited a lot of people to come in this year, so the room is not enough at all." ”

"And where do they live?"

"It's not the same as before, my family lives some, your family lives some, and everyone makes do with it."

"This can't be done, now that we have money, naturally we can't treat them badly, they are the foundation of our Drunken Immortal Residence, so let's arrange it and build some dormitories."

"Hey. The old man knew what to do. ”

At this time, two beauties came outside, it was Mrs. Qin and Ji Hongnu.

"Uncle Wu, big brother."

Ji Hongnu obediently greeted the two. Wu Furong also got up and saluted Mrs. Qin.

Mrs. Qin smiled slightly, "Uncle Wu, what are you talking about?" ”

Wu Furong said: "It's nothing, it's not just about the New Year." ”

Mrs. Qin said: "This year, it has been one thing after another, there is no respite, and everyone is also busy all night, it is not easy, I thought that we made money this year, so let's give them more dividends." ”

Wu Furong nodded and said, "Master Li and I think the same way. ”

"Big brother, there is something I almost forgot to tell you, godmother, she asked the two of us to go to Baifu for the New Year." Ji Hongnu suddenly said towards Li Qi.

Li Qi had a headache when he thought of the mother-in-law, waved his hand and said, "You go, I won't go." ”

"Then aren't you home alone, Mrs. Mingri, she will go back to her parents' house." Ji Hongnu said softly: "Otherwise, I won't go either, and I'll accompany you at home." ”

Li Qi was very moved in his heart, held her little hand, and said with a smile: "No need, you better go, now that Qi Niang has gone to Jiangnan, you can take it as helping Qi Niang fulfill her filial piety." ”

Ji Hongnu actually thought the same way, nodded lightly and said, "I listen to the eldest brother." ”

Mrs. Qin said: "Li Qi, otherwise, you will go to my house with me for the New Year." ”

"Huh?"

Li Qi's eyes widened, then he rubbed his hands together, and said shyly: "This-this is not very good. ”

"What's so bad?"

"It's easy to misunderstand!"

"Misunderstanding?" Mrs. Qin was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, how could this person think of some dirty things in his mind, gave Li Qi a roll of his eyes, and said, "I didn't say it." ”

Ji Hongnu was still not at ease, and said, "Why don't you let Sister Feng come?" ”

You can have this! At that time, the lady was not there, and the red slave was not there, so it would be more convenient to do something practical, but I don't know if the woman would take the bait. Li Qi shook his head silently and said, "No need, red slave, don't worry, I have a lot of things to do on New Year's Day this year, even if you stay here, I can't find time to accompany you." ”

Mrs. Qin was curious: "Everyone is celebrating the festival, what are you busy with?" ”

Li Qi gave Mrs. Qin a smiling face that was fascinated by death, and spit out two words very poorly, "Secret." ”

At this time, Aunt Chen suddenly walked in and said, "My lord, Manager Zuo is here." ”

"Why is he here?"

Li Qi's face suddenly tightened, and he hurriedly said: "Auntie, you stabilize him for me first." Red slave, you come with me. As he spoke, he pulled Ji Hongnu and ran towards his house quickly.

It took about a cup of tea. Mrs. Chen took Zuo Boqing to Li Qi's house.

"Ouch, ouch."

As soon as Zuo Boqing entered the door, he heard a few moans, and when he looked at it, he saw Li Qi lying on the bed with a hot towel on his forehead, and he couldn't help but be shocked, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Brother Li!" Brother Li! ”

Li Qi opened his eyes slightly, and said weakly: "Brother Zuo, why are you here?" I'm really sorry, brother, I can't get up to greet me, forgive my sins, forgive my sins. ”

Ji Hongnu, who was sitting at the head of the bed, stood up and saluted Zuo Boqing, but his expression was very strange.

Zuo Boqing was confused now, nodded towards Ji Hongnu, and said to Li Qi: "Brother Li, what are you doing?" ”

"Alas. It's not that I'm tired, I'm busy this time, and I suffered a little bit of wind and cold yesterday, and I can't get out of bed this morning. ”

"So strict, can you see Langzhong?"

"Look, Lang Zhong said that he had to rest for a few days and couldn't move around."

"Huh? How many days do you recuperate? Zuo Boqing looked a little embarrassed.

Li Qi said slowly: "Brother Zuo, is there something you are looking for me?" ”

Zuo Boqing was slightly stunned, and said: "It's a bit of a thing, it's New Year's Day after three ri, and now the envoys from all over the world have arrived in Beijing, and our imperial dining room has to do our best to prepare for the New Year's Day court, I remember that last year's brother's thousand-mountain twilight snow shocked the four, so the emperor wants to hand over the banquet at the New Year's Day court meeting to you this year." ”

Sample! I know that it will not be good for you to come, Lao Tzu can now be raised, how can he have the kung fu to do those things. Li Qi coughed a few times in a row, and "with difficulty" propped himself up, Ji Hongnu hurriedly helped him, with a look of concern. Hey, when will this little girl's acting skills increase greatly. Li Qi secretly laughed a few times, but said: "Oh, then please wait for me to go down, I will enter the palace with you after I finish washing." ”

"Huh? Yes? No need, no need, since you are sick, then avoid it, anyway, this New Year's Day will be held every year, and the dishes are basically fixed, so it doesn't matter. Zuo Boqing saw that he was dying, it was difficult to get out of bed, where could he still cook, so he hurriedly stopped him and said: "You can rest in peace, I will go back and talk to the emperor, I believe it is not a big problem." ”

"Then bother Brother Zuo."

"It's okay, then—then I won't disturb your rest, so I'll take my leave."

"Red slave, you send Brother Zuo on my behalf."

"No, no, Red Lady, you better stay here and take care of him, Brother Li, you are the pillar of my Great Song Dynasty, you must take good care of your body, my brother will leave first." Zuo Boqing waved his hand, arched his hand towards Li Qi again, and then turned his back and went out.

After a while, Li Qi suddenly sat up, glanced at Ji Hongnu and said, "Hongnu, are you going to see if he is gone?" ”

It was the first time for Ji Hongnu to do this kind of thing, and he couldn't help but look a little flustered, walked to the window in small steps, glanced out secretly, and then said, "Big brother, Manager Zuo is gone." ”

"Whew."

Li Qi let out a sigh of relief and said to himself: "I really beat Lao Tzu like iron, and come to me for any big thing, if Lao Tzu doesn't pretend to be sick, then he will really be sick." (To be continued.) )
