Gao Yu glanced at Li Qi, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he also made a sound and tasted the wine calmly.

Song Huizong frowned and asked, "You said the arms business?" "In the voice, fǎngfo can't believe the general.

Li Qi nodded simply: "Yes, I thought that the most profitable business was nothing more than this." ”

Song Huizong shook his head and said: "Weapons are the foundation of the country, how can you buy and sell them at will, you don't want to talk nonsense."

Li Qi also shook his head and said, "Of course, you can't buy and sell casually. ”

Song Huizong heard that the preface did not match the afterword, and he was puzzled, and said, "What do you mean by shime?" Since you can't buy and sell casually, why do you say that the arms business is the most profitable business? ”

Li Qi said with a smile: "Big officials, you can't buy and sell casually, but it doesn't mean that you can't buy and sell, in fact, if you want to sell, you can still sell it, and it's very profitable." ”

Song Huizong is really short of money now, in fact, before Wang Anshi's reform, the Song Dynasty's finances began to decline, and after Wang Anshi's deal, it was even worse, and then after he squandered it, Yijing was almost to the end, and now listening to Li Qi seemed to have something to say, he couldn't help but be a little moved, squinted and smiled: "Then you can tell me to listen." ”

Li Qi said: "Daguanren, in fact, I think our Great Song should have a deep understanding of this yidiǎn." ”

Song Huizong sighed and said, "How do you say this?" ”

Li Qi smiled slightly and said, "Horses." Our Great Song Dynasty has always been short of horses, and the money spent on buying military mǎshàng alone can be called astronomical. ”

Song Huizong nodded slightly, sighed again, and said, "Yes." If horses are also included, this weapons business is indeed the most profitable business, but unfortunately my Da Song can only pay for it, and there are no horses to sell to others. ”

He really has a deep understanding of this yidiǎn, and the Great Song Dynasty used to have money that couldn't buy horses, which can be imagined. How precious this horse is.

Li Qi shook his head and said, "The big official said this, please forgive Li Qi for not agreeing." ”

Song Huizong glanced at him, suddenly laughed, and said angrily: "Okay, okay, you kid don't play dumb riddles here, just say it, there is no court here, you don't have to worry too much." ”

Don't worry, if I don't want to say it. The front will not whet your appetite. Li Qi smiled and said: "Great official, among the weapons, in addition to horses, there are many weapons and armor, such as bows, crossbows, cannons and other weapons, which can also be bought and sold. It's not that I, Li Qi, are boasting about myself, in terms of weapons, my Great Song is at least three grades higher than the surrounding countries. ”

It's not false that what he said is yidiǎn. Although the Song Dynasty emphasized literature over military force, perhaps because of the lack of horses, the rulers of the Song Dynasty attached great importance to the development and manufacture of weapons, and every link was very meticulous. It is precisely because of this that the cold weapons of the Song Dynasty can't help but surpass the rest of the countries by a lot, and it can even be said that they have reached the peak of cold weapons, in addition. The Song Dynasty was also the beginning of the alternation of hot and cold weapons, in short, in this regard. The Song Dynasty was the strongest, which is beyond reproach.

Of course, since Emperor Zhenzong, the development of weapons in the Song Dynasty has declined a lot, but its roots are still there, as long as it is rectified, it will soon be able to go up.

Song Huizong smiled proudly, and also denied it, and said: "Even so, how can these weapons be sold to others casually?" If something goes wrong, then my Da Song will be in danger. ”

Li Qi shook his head and said: "Great official, weapons naturally can't be bought and sold casually in our Great Song Dynasty, and if they are sold, they will be sold to other countries." ”

Gao Yu said: "Then it can't be done, isn't this to boost the strength of others, you can zhidào, the Liao Kingdom was afraid of my Great Song Dynasty, so he didn't even want to sell us a horse." ”

Song Huizong nodded slightly.

Li Qi said with a smile: "Tai Lieutenant's words are wrong, my Great Song Dynasty's weapons are advancing with the times, as long as we can continue to develop new types of weapons, the old generation will be eliminated, which is equivalent to waste, and we can take some weapons that need to be eliminated and sell them to other countries." ”

Song Huizong frowned, took a breath, and pondered for a moment before saying, "You go on." ”

"Yes."

Li Qi's eyes flashed with a glint of joy, and he continued: "I heard that the weapons stored in our Great Song Arsenal can be used for thirty years, but this also leads to the slackness of the Weapons Supervisor, so that there has been no innovation in recent years, if we develop newer weapons, all the weapons in the Arsenal can be sold, and now that the war is raging, it is a good time to make war money." ”

Song Huizong frowned and said, "War money? ”

Li Qi nodded and said, "Exactly." Take the Tibetan border as an example, the former Tubo is now divided into more than ten large and small tribes, except for a few tribes attached to my Great Song Dynasty in the Hexi Corridor, the rest of the tribes are still at war. Fighting a war naturally requires weapons, and weapons occupy a very important position in war, once the weapons lag behind the other party, nàme will definitely be in a disadvantageous position, and the weapons they use now have been eliminated in our Great Song Dynasty. In other words, the weapons that are relatively backward in our Great Song Dynasty are considered advanced in their place, and we can secretly contact a few tribes to sell them the weapons of our Great Song Dynasty, and sell them the weapons that are relatively backward in our arsenal. In addition, there are Dali, Goryeo, Persia, Nanban and other countries, we can also design suitable weapons according to their geography, even if other countries are wars, in fact, we can also provoke wars and support forces, the more they fight, the weaker they become, and the stronger we sell. ”

Song Huizong's palms were slightly sweaty, his Adam's apple rolled, and he pretended to be calm: "What you said is easy, but in order to do this, first of all, I must have enough weapons, and I must also be able to create newer weapons, which is by no means easy." ”

Li Qi said with a smile: "It's a matter of people, we can expand the scale of arms production, rely on those inconspicuous businessmen to go to other countries to buy iron ore, firewood and other raw materials, and then process and sell them to make huge profits." And now gunpowder yijing is gradually used in the military, this is a good thing, which has unlimited potential, we can focus on the focus of the weapon, to develop, if we can succeed, then most of the weapons in the arsenal will be eliminated, we can sell all other countries, with this income. The treasury will be full in an instant. ”

Song Huizong said quietly: "But you also said that you want to provoke wars in other countries, isn't it too moral." ”

Li Qi said with a smile: "I think the most moral thing is to incorporate them into the territory of my Great Song Dynasty, so that the people of these countries can live as happy and happy as the people of our Great Song Dynasty." Once we become their arms supplier, we will know their strength, and as for the future, it all depends on our mood. Shihou, who said this, had a rare flush on his face, which was really against his will.

But Song Huizong was very moved when he heard it. After pondering for a while, he said to Gao Yu: "Taiwei, what do you think?" ”

Gao Yu Zhengse said: "Back to the words of the big officials, not to mention whether what Li Qi said can be realized, but I think I can increase the scale of military production first, which is beneficial and harmless for my Great Song Dynasty." ”

It seems that I have nothing to say about my tacit understanding with my brother. Li Qi smiled in his heart, in fact, with the current strength of the Great Song Dynasty, it is really difficult to do this. But it's not unkěnéng. However, the reason why Li Qi said this is that the most important thing is to master the ordnance superintendent, because he has long heard that the internal yijing of the current ordnance superintendent is very **, and for the Northern Song Dynasty of Shaoma. It is necessary to rely on other weapons to make up for this inherent defect, and it seems that Yijing has become the only way out of the country, so Li Qi is imperative for the weapons superintendent.

Gao Yu also wanted to include the military weapons supervisor in the sphere of influence of the three yas, and the two of them thought about it in unison. Moreover, his ability to conduct business is not many times stronger than his ability to organize the army, and he cannot see the benefits of buying and selling weapons.

Song Huizong pondered for a moment. Uh-huh, but also méiyou say more, let alone make a statement, when the emperor, whether it is a faint monarch or a bright monarch, there is the reserve of the emperor, you can't say shime, it's shime, that's too faceless.

Li Qi didn't think about eating a fat man in one bite, he could see that Song Huizong was tempted, and that was enough.

At this moment, I suddenly heard another voice of regret in the middle. Several people turned their heads at the same time, only to see that Hong Qi also got up and left the table, and now there were only Li Bangyan and Wang Hao left, and from the table, the chips of the two seemed to be almost the same.

Song Huizong said with a smile: "I can't imagine that Hong Qigong of the dignified Hongwan Gambling House can't match my two Aiqing." As he spoke, he stood up, stepped forward, and sat down in a row of chairs in front of him.

Li Qi and Gao Yu also followed.

At this time, it seemed that Li Bangyan and Wang Hao only had each other in their eyes, and Song Huizong's move did not affect them.

After Li and Wang dropped a chip, the dealer began to deal cards, the cards were very interesting, it can be said that the road is narrow, and both of them are A.

The dealer said to Wang, "The Ace of Spades speaks." ”

Wang Huang and méiyou looked at the hole cards, and said to Li Bangyan: "Zuo Xiang, if the plate is looking at the cards to make money, then don't zhidào to bet to shimeshihou, since we are all A, and all méiyou look at the cards, then why don't we decide the outcome of a game?" ”

Li Bangyan smiled: "Wang Xiangmo doesn't want to gamble his luck with me? ”

"Exactly."

"That's what I mean."

"That's good. I'm studding. ”

Wang Hao pushed out all the chips in front of him.

Li Bangyan then pushed out all the chips in front of him, and the victory or defeat was in one fell swoop.

Gao Yanei and Hong Tianjiu all stood on the chairs, looking more nervous than Wang Hao and Li Bangyan, and Song Huizong and the others also stood up and looked at the table with a smile.

Since it's all stud, the dealer initiates the cards much smoother, but then the cards of both sides seem to be rotten to the extreme, and Li Bangyan's cards are A, J, 10, 6.

Wang Hao's is A, 10, 8, 7.

Neither of them is a flower or a straight.

But it's all the more exciting, because it's up to the last hole card to decide the winner.

Li Bangyan was the first to show the card, which was a jack of spades.

A pair of J.

Everyone was amazed, in this way, Wang Hao had to get A to win, and Li Bangyan's winning side was very big.

Li Bangyan smiled proudly: "Wang Xiang, I'm really sorry. ”

Wang Hao shook his head and said, "Zuo Xiang's words are a bit premature, aren't there still two A's." ”

Li Bangyan said: "It seems that Wang Xiang seems to be quite confident. "Since Wang Hao has seen the hole cards from beginning to end, how can he believe that Wang Hao will definitely get an A.

"I've had a lot of luck lately, and I don't know if there really is a kěnéng."

Wang Hao raised his eyebrows, his face showed a strong confidence, stood up, and turned over the hole cards with his right hand without hesitation.

A square A surprised everyone.

Li Bangyan was completely dumbfounded, stared blankly at the square A, and muttered, "How is this kěnéng?" ”

Wang Huangdeng laughed out loud, his face was shining, and he arched his hand again: "Accept, accept." "It's even more meaningful in the voice.

"Okay."

Song Huizong couldn't help but applaud and said, "This card is really beautiful." ”

Only then did Wang Hao think of Song Huizong, and he hurriedly smiled and said: "The big official has won the award, and I am also relying on luck." ”

Li Qi also applauded, squinted, looked at the proud Wang Huang with a smile, and said secretly, Wang Huang, Wang Huang, Wang Huang, now you are indeed unstoppable, maybe even God has to be jealous of you for three points, but you can zhidào, there is a saying that prosperity must decline, it seems that you are not far from the unlucky day.
