Japan?
When Li Qi said the answer, Park Zhiqian was very surprised, obviously he had calculated everything, but he didn't expect Li Qi to say these two words. To put it bluntly, the reason why he was surprised was because even their Goryeo looked down on Japan.
Li Qi glanced at Park Zhiqian, his heart was like a mirror, and said with a smile: "What? Brother Pu doesn't look down on Japan? โ
It's the truth, but you can't say it, it's so hurtful! Park Zhiqian hurriedly waved his hand and said, "The economic envoy is laughing, how dare I have such intentions." It's just that I thought that there must be a deep meaning in the words of the economic envoy, and I couldn't figure it out for a while. โ
"Let's sit down and talk."
The two sat down again. Li Qi suddenly asked, "Brother Park, what do you think of the strength of the Jin Kingdom?" โ
Park Zhiqian was stunned for a moment, and said truthfully: "If you talk about wealth, the Jin country naturally can't be compared with your country, but if it is military strength, then your country is probably a little worse." โ
Li Qi didn't care at all, and said: "It's not just a little worse, we still have self-knowledge of this." Then what army do you think can compete with the Jin army in the world at present? โ
Park Ji-kyun hesitated for a moment, then shook his head. Jin Guo's military strength is obvious to all, and no matter how unwilling he is to admit it, it is impossible for him to deceive himself in this regard.
Li Qi smiled: "But there is one country that is not afraid of the gold country at all. โ
Park Zhiqian frowned and said, "Isn't the economic envoy talking about Japan?" โ
"Not bad."
"How is this possible?"
Li Qi smiled and said, "How is it impossible? Jin Guo is indeed strong, but that is only his iron hooves. If I change the horse to a boat, I can pat my chest and guarantee it. Your sailors can fight it, but they can't find the north. And Japan is lonely overseas, even if Japan scolds the Emperor of Jin, Jin can only be next to it, at most it is to scold back, if they dare to go to sea, it will be a dead end, in other words, relative to Japan. The Jin State only had the share of being beaten passively, and in terms of economy, Japan's greatest reliance was on our Great Song Dynasty, and it had nothing to do with the Jin State, and Japan was completely free from the control of the Jin State. Do you still think that Japan is good for nothing? โ
Park Zhiqian's heart lit up when he heard this, and he felt that what he said made a lot of sense, if the people of Jin Guo fought a water war. Then they are not afraid of Goryeo.
Li Qi said: "Therefore, Japan is not afraid of the Jin country at all, if you can seek their help, they can help you without scruples, whether it is to send people or money, the Jin country has no way to take Japan." โ
The more Park Ji-kyun listened, the more moved he became. However, Goryeo has a very shallow relationship with Japan, and Japan cannot help you at any cost with your words, which makes him at a loss, and he can't help but look at Li Qi again, and said with a smile: "It's still the economic envoy who sees it more thoroughly." Hehe, the tired economy makes it helpful to help people to the end. Tell me how to find help from the Japanese. โ
Li Qi asked rhetorically without answering, "How much do you know about Japanese samurai?" โ
As a diplomatic envoy, Park Zhiqian naturally has some understanding of the recent situation in neighboring countries, and nodded and said: "I have heard a little, I have heard a little." โ
Li Qi said: "Now Japan is still controlled by their aristocracy, and the extravagant life makes those nobles content with the status quo, they never want any changes, if you go to ask them for help, there is little hope." But the samurai in Japan are different, they are still weak to the nobility, but their strength has begun to grow, they have great potential, they deserve our attention, and most importantly, they are also beginning to seek help from forces outside Japan, which is a perfect match for your country. However, as the saying goes, if you want to get their help, you must first give them some help, and it just so happens that I'm old friends with Iga and Tengichi, and if you want to, I can introduce them to you. โ
Park Ji-qian hurriedly said, "That's really thankful." "It's one thing to succeed or not, but at least one more way out, and one more friend is always a bad thing, so he will resolutely accept it.
Li Qi smiled: "It's just a matter of raising your hands." It's just that I have to remind you that while seeking help from others, you must also improve your own strength, especially your sea strength, after all, whether it is my Great Song Dynasty or Japan, you have to take a ship to help you, so you must build a large enough port to strengthen the connection between the three parties, and the second ship can not be less, you must know that the navy is the weakness of the Jin country, and you can't give up this advantage. โ
When Park Ji-kyun heard this, he realized that Li Qi was selling ships, and it happened that they were also planning to buy ships in large quantities, so he said: "What the economic envoy said is that the most important task of my visit this time is to buy some ships and weapons from your country. โ
Now the frequent pressure of the Jin State has made them panic, and in order to resist the pressure of the Jin State, they can only buy armaments.
"Really?"
Li Qi smiled and said, "Then we have to talk about it." โ
In fact, it was Li Qi's plan to promote Goryeo and the Japanese samurai "wolf bรจi for adultery", he wanted to support the Japanese samurai, which is no secret, but he didn't want to spend too much price, so he thought about pulling Goryeo in to share the burden, and every time Goryeo found an ally, then he would be more determined to fight with the Jin State, which was also what Li Qi was happy to see, and the two of them helped each other, which could also reduce a lot of pressure on the Great Song Dynasty, and the benefits far outweighed the harms.
When it comes to buying and selling, it is Li Qi's strength, and the other party is already intended, so the atmosphere is becoming more and more harmonious, and even the time is forgotten, unconsciously, it is already late at night, because the weather is too cold, so Li Qi simply asked Park Zhiqian to live here, this small gesture made Park Zhiqian's good impression of Li Qi greatly increased, and he felt that Li Qi really regarded him as a friend.
As everyone knows, in the hearts of businessmen, there are no absolute friends, and of course, there are no absolute enemies

It was less than a day later, and on the sofa in front of the fireplace, a new guest was welcomed.
This guest is the Dali envoy, Duan Shiwen.
For this reason, Qin Hui also complained a lot, and you chose to meet the Goryeo envoys first. That's fine, no matter how you say it, the other party also sent money. It's just a few. But when you meet the envoys of Dali, it is really unreasonable, everyone knows that the real dictatorship of Dali is the Gao family, and the king of Dali only has diplomatic power, and he can't do anything, and Qin Hui has also found out clearly, the only envoy in Dali who did not bring a lot of money to Beijing this time. That is, they are not here to do business.
You ignore a few local tyrants over there, but you just take care of this poor bastard, Qin Hui found that he couldn't understand Li Qi more and more.
As everyone knows, Li Qi has already regarded the Duan family as his own family, of course, he has to give a back door.
Duan Shiwen was moved by this, and in the previous meeting, he was undoubtedly the loneliest foreign guest. It can be said that he didn't say a word, sitting in the corner and looking at the envoys enviously and shouting loudly, he also wanted to participate in it, but he didn't have the capital, because he couldn't call the shots of anything, which was equivalent to an errand runner.
You must know that this is a world of laughing at the poor and not laughing at the prostitute. You don't have the ability to deal with you, so there are very few people to talk to him at meetings.
Only Li Qi gave him a high enough courtesy from beginning to end, could this not move him.
Li Qi did not attend the meeting though. But he knew what happened to Duan Shiwen at the meeting, so he just started. He didn't talk about official business, but just talked about his personal situation in the past year with Duan Shiwen Lala.
This time the relationship between the two is even closer, there is a way, can adversity see the truth?
When it was almost over, Li Qi said, "Envoy Duan, do you remember the conversation between us at this time last year?" โ
Duan Shiwen nodded and said, "Of course I remember." โ
Li Qi smiled: "Then I don't know how your monarch is preparing?" โ
Last year, Duan Shiwen asked the Great Song for help, hoping that the Great Song could help Duan Zhengyan regain the power that originally belonged to the monarch from the Gao family, but Li Qi felt that the Great Song Dynasty had no strength to help Dali at that time, but he did not refuse Duan Shiwen, but only promised to give him certain weapon support in the future, but as for the army, he had to figure out his own way.
Duan Shiwen sighed bitterly and said: "I don't know what the economic envoy knows, after I returned to Dali at the beginning of the year, I told the words of the economic envoy to His Majesty, and His Majesty was also very happy and confident after hearing it, but this year has had little effect. โ
Li Qi frowned and said, "Are you encountering any difficulties?" โ
Duan Shiwen had tears in his eyes and sighed: "This is all the sin done by the Gao family." His Majesty is diligent in political affairs, loves the people like a son, but he can't stop the brutality of the Gao family, this year, there has been continuous internal strife within the Gao family, in order to compete for power, they don't care about the life and death of the people in the world, so that rebellions are everywhere, His Majesty is powerless to stop the Gao family, can only find a way to reduce the harm suffered by the people, but this is just a drop in the bucket, seeing that the people of Dali are not living, His Majesty is almost disheartened. โ
Speaking of this, Duan Shiwen actually cried loudly, and his crying was very miserable.
Although it was only a few words, Li Qi had already deeply felt Duan Zhengyan's sorrow, and he was also very sympathetic in his heart, because he also had this kind of sorrow, but he didn't like to show this side, and he didn't stop Duan Shiwen, let him vent, holding a cup of tea, leaning on the sofa, silent.
After a long while, Duan Shiwen finally stopped crying, looked at Li Qi in extreme embarrassment, and said, "It's really right-I'm sorry, Duan Mou lost his temper." โ
Li Qi smiled slightly: "It's okay, I can understand this." โ
Duan Shiwen wiped a handful of tears, and said eagerly: "Economic envoy, please help our majesty." โ
Li Qi said: "How do you want me to help you?" โ
In the face of Li Qi's boldness, Duan Shiwen seemed to be a little unable to believe his ears, and after half a ring, he reacted and said: "If your country can send troops to help, it will be no better, but I also know that your country also has a lot of difficulties, so we hope - hope." โ
At this point, he stopped abruptly, seemingly unable to speak.
Li Qi glanced at him, put the teacup in his hand on the table, sat up straight, looked at Duan Shiwen seriously, and said in a calm tone: "500,000 guan, is it enough?" (To be continued)
