Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

Li Qi's understatement made Zuixianju return to the liberation overnight, except for Zuixianju Restaurant, the rest of the businesses were all closed, including printing factories and canning workshops, only the chalk and blackboard paint were left, after all, it was the business of Taishi College, and Li Qi was not easy to call the shots, besides, he had to cover for the glass.

This morning's freshly released Song Times Weekly has one more than usual, but the headlines of both are - Farewell! Come to an end! The content is to announce the closure of the Zuixianju Group, and this is also the last issue of the Great Song Times Weekly, without mentioning the reason, but everyone knows it, which also includes the finale of the Legend of the Heroes.

In addition, the Great Song Times Weekly also mentioned a record, that is, the record of layoffs in the history of the Northern Song Dynasty, due to the closure of the Zuixianju Group, more than one or two thousand people faced unemployment in an instant, dozens of times more than the Yuan You Party membership incident.

People, always love to compare, if you have money, I will make more money, more rich than you, you close the door, we will also close the door, I will also lay off people, see who lays more.

As a result, in this ri, a total of eight gambling houses, six green houses, forty-nine restaurants, twelve cloth shops, twenty-four clothing stores, nine grocery stores, eighteen butcher shops, and more than 100 shops were closed together.

The number of unemployed people is rushing straight to break 10,000.

Nowadays, whether it is Bianhe Street or Mahang Street, it is full of crowds, and there is no end in sight, countless unemployed people have run to the street to occupy the shops, and the straw mats have to be sideways to walk on the road.

Since everyone is unemployed, there is naturally a common topic, Tuan Tuan sat down, and chatted on this street, and even some people began to talk about shè carving, there were many cheers, how prosperous, lively, Bianjing City has never appeared such a scene.

The number of people who went to see the flag-raising also set a record today, anyway, everyone was fine, but they all ran to see the flag-raising, and Jing Zhong resounded in the capital again.

It just so happens that today is the opening of Xiangguo Temple, and there is a sea of people inside, and it is simply impassable, but the traders who came from other places to do business are happy, but unfortunately after an hour, Wuzi did not sell a commodity, which is also too weird.

The lively scene and the depressed market in Beijing complement each other!

However, the closure of these shops also directly affected the trading of the imperial court, and if you don't have restaurants and tea shops, then your tea, salt, wine and other businesses will not be easy to do.

Of course, not all restaurants and workshops are closed, because the behind-the-scenes bosses of some businesses are those scholars, so early this morning, everyone went to the only remaining open restaurants and foot shops to queue up to buy breakfast.

They just wanted to have breakfast, and after eating this breakfast, they were hungry.

Because Li Qi wanted to make his position clear, he didn't let the drunken immortal residence close, and at this time, it was crowded with people, and he couldn't squeeze in.

"What are you eating?"

"Let's have a few baskets of xiaolongbao first, two pots of nǎi tea, and then some of the rest, ouch, I'm starving."

"I'm sorry, the proprietor of my family has had a lot of disadvantages recently, and he is worshipping God at home, so he has only been vegetarian for a few days recently, and the small shop only sells vegetarian dishes."

"What? Vegetarian? ”

"Yes, there is no xiaolongbao, and there is no nǎi tea."

"Hey, hey, nǎi tea is also considered vegetarian?"

"Nǎi tea is made from cow nǎi, and cow nǎi is obtained from cows, so it is also considered a meat dish."

"Okay, that's good, what else do you have in the store now?"

"Yang Chun noodles."

"Still?"

"Chow mein."

"Still?"

"Ramen."

"I said, what else do you have here besides noodles?"

"Steamed buns."

"Uh, where's the bread and cake?"

"Since bread and cakes require beef nǎi or nǎi oil, they are not provided."

"Y-you."

"Why don't we go to another restaurant to eat."

"Another restaurant? If you go now, it is estimated that you are going to have dinner, and there are only more than 20 of the 72 main stores left, and the big restaurants of Fan Lou, Jin Lou, and Yang Lou are all closed, and you can snicker if you eat. Okay, okay, one person comes to Yangchun noodles, and then a few steamed buns, there is always tea. ”

"Yes, yes, please sit down."

"In that case, we can't leave today."

"Of course I won't go, I'll live here today, otherwise, where will I eat."

"Let's let let!"

I saw a group of people walking outside, it was Cai Jing.

Although Cai Jing has not interacted with Li Qi since Li Qizhishi in order to avoid suspicion, the habit of coming to Zuixianju for morning tea every day has not changed.

Chen Anan hurriedly greeted him and saluted: "Taishi, you are here, your private room is still reserved for you." ”

Cai Jing nodded, glanced at it, and said with a wry smile: "I didn't expect it to be so troublesome to have a morning tea now, it seems that Ming Ri still doesn't come out, Anan, you will ask someone to send the Great Song Times Weekly to the old man to the house in the future." ”

Chen Anan sneered: "Taishi, this issue of the Great Song Times Weekly is already the last issue. ”

"Huh? It's not even out of the Great Song Times Weekly? How to deal with the legend of the heroes? ”

"Oh, Brother Li has already sent out the rest."

"That's fine, that's fine. Go up. ”

Chen Anan caught up again and said, "Master, the eldest brother said that he asked God to bless him, so the shop is a vegetarian today, you see?" ”

Cai Jing frowned, and said unhappily: "What are you vegetarian?" Who did the stinky boy deceive by this, the old man is sure that the kid must be hiding at home and eating well now. I'm really angry with the old man, okay, okay, I'm here, let's have a few bowls of noodles. ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Chen Anan wiped his sweat and said, secretly thinking, this is too mastery, he actually expected that the eldest brother was a Mengren.

When he came to the private room, Cai Jing immediately scolded angrily, "Okay, you Li Qi, it is really unreasonable to turn my Great Song Capital City into such a state." ”

As he spoke, he suddenly laughed again, sat down, drank a cup of tea, picked up the latest Song Times Weekly and read it, and scolded with a smile when he saw the title: "Farewell? Come to an end? Hmph, old man, I think this is just the beginning. ”

Cai Yong whispered: "Master, Master Li, this seems to be hurting people!" ”

Cai Jing glanced at him and said, "You were deceived by him, what is this hurting people, it should be said that it is a book of ten thousand profits." He pointed his finger out of the window and said, "Do you see, as long as these people charge for him, that kid will have nothing to fear, and within a month, those people will admit defeat, and it only takes a month to exchange for a more solid new law, who do you say made it?" If Wang Xianxiang and I had such connections, maybe my history of the Great Song Dynasty would have to be rewritten. ”

Cai Yong said: "What does the master mean, he has won?" ”

Cai Jing nodded, stroked his beard and said with a smile: "There is no doubt about victory." Even the old man has to admit that his trick is too ruthless, you think about it, thousands of people are homeless, wandering the streets, and you can't drive them away, how much trouble will this cause to the stability of the capital, and besides, the merchants are gone, the people have no income, and there is no place to buy daily necessities, and the commercial tax has gradually replaced the agricultural tax. But how? Those good people are all willing not to do it, this is not illegal, and the old man estimates that this is just that kid wants to make things bigger, the real battlefield is not in the capital, but in Jiangnan, it must be very lively over there, it won't be long before news comes from Jiangnan, and then it will see how those people end. Ha ha. ”

As soon as the laughter ended, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

It was not the bartender who came, but Cai Qian and Gao Yu.

"Daddy (Taishi)."

The two saluted Cai Jing.

Cai Jing was stunned and said: "Why are you here, at this time, the early dynasty should have just begun." ”

Cai Qian smiled bitterly: "It's still my father who has a vision and asks for sick leave, so we just ran away in vain." ”

Gao Yu said: "The emperor said that he was unwell and did not go to court. ”

Cai Jing was stunned, smiled dumbly, and said, "Sit down." ”

The two sat down. Cai Jing said: "Today, I only eat vegetarian here. ”

Cai Qian said: "Daddy, we ate some pastries in the palace just now. ”

Gao Yu looked out the window, shook his head and said: "I didn't expect this kid to dare to play so big, now the whole capital is full of people, and most of the shops have been closed, so it's terrible to go on like this." ”

Cai Jing smiled and said, "Taiwei, do you think that if that kid is alone, he would dare to do this?" ”

Taiwei was slightly stunned, and said with a smile: "I understand, if this is the case, those people will be miserable, the emperor above will not go to court, all things will be pressed there, and the people below will not do anything, they will sleep on the street, as long as the emperor does not go to court, I am afraid that those people will not be able to sleep, the further back it is, the more severe the situation will be, and when the time is asked, the crime will be big." ”

Cai Jing laughed and said: "Don't worry, don't worry, this is just the beginning, that kid is deep and slowly and gradually, and he is so strict at the beginning, he will have more emergencies, and the good show is still to come, anyway, the old man took a month of sick leave, and the old man is not involved in this matter." ”

Gao Yu said: "That kid is gone, Sanya has a bunch of things waiting for me to deal with, I can't manage this matter if I want to, I will explain the situation to avoid trouble." ”

Cai Qian saw that the two of you didn't do it, so didn't you want me to be your representative, this is not okay, and said, "Daddy, since you have taken sick leave, then I will also take leave to serve you at home." ”

Cai Jing nodded and said: "Let's just do this, then call Bai Xiang and Zuo Xiang, and go to the house to live together for a few ri, a few of us take the opportunity to get together, chant poems against each other, play poker, rub mahjong, you can also bow, anything, anyway, there is nowhere to go outside now, it is estimated that the emperor will not go to court in the near future." ”

Gao Yu's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "Taishi is full of fists, Gao Yu is better than obeying his fate if he is respectful." ”

Cai Jing laughed and said, "I'll order someone to invite them now." ”

.

Qin Mansion.

In the back hall, the atmosphere was extremely strict, and the root of Yan sΓΉ was Mrs. Qin, I saw her staring at Li Qi with a pair of beautiful eyes, without saying a word, as if sitting opposite was the enemy who killed her father.

This master is silent, and Feng Yinu and they are not easy to keep silent.

Li Qi said shyly: "Madam, although I am very handsome and cute, don't look at me like this." ”

Madam Qin snorted angrily and said, "Why are you doing this? ”

"What am I going to do?"

"Closure of the group of companies."

"I'm not following Madame's advice."

"When did I tell you to do that?"

"Why not, don't you always tell me not to cause trouble? I pondered for a long time, and found that I was indeed handsome, and the tree was very popular, you see, we make so much money every day, my wife is as beautiful as a flower, can people not be jealous, I used to be a member of the three grades, but I can also protect myself, now I have a career, of course, I have to keep a low profile, so as not to be remembered, I laid them off for their good, so as not to suffer with me when they get it. Richie shrugged.

Mrs. Qin also felt that what he said made some sense, and said, "Then you can't lay off so many people at once!" Most of them are not from Tokyo, where do you tell them to go? ”

Li Qi said angrily: "Madam, you are really difficult to serve, what do I do, you can't say it right, since you want to keep a low profile, of course you have to reduce the number of people and raise thousands of people?" What should I do if someone says I'm rebelling? What should they do? ”

"Me."

Mrs. Qin was stunned for a moment, and was speechless when Li Qi refuted.

At this moment, someone outside suddenly shouted: "Li Qi, Li Qi, you come out quickly." ”

"Yanai?"

Several women said in unison.

This shows how terrifying Gao Yanai is.

If this were usual, Li Qi estimated that he would have to curse Gao Yanei secretly, but now, he hurriedly took advantage of this and said, "Madam, I'll come when I go." ”

After speaking, he walked out quickly.

As soon as he left, Feng Yinu said: "Sister Wang, don't worry, in my sister's opinion, this matter is not so simple." ”

Mrs. Qin was surprised: "How do you say this? ”

Feng Yinu said: "It's not the Drunken Xianju family that is closed now, in this intervening period, almost half of the shops in Tokyo are closed, which is very abnormal, so it seems that there must be something else in this matter, why don't you wait and see what happens." ”

Mrs. Qin nodded and sighed lightly: "My sister is reasonable, alas, I'm just worried about whether those people living on the street will be cold and hungry, no matter what, they are all innocent, how can you make me feel at ease." ”

Feng Yinu also knew Mrs. Qin's character, nodded slightly, and said no more.

When Li Qi came outside, he saw Gao Yanei, Hong Tianjiu, Zhou Hua and others rampaging in the Qin Mansion, all as if they were their own family.

"Richie, come with me."

As soon as Gao Yanei saw Li Qi, he rushed up, grabbed his sleeve, and said eagerly.

Li Qi was stunned for a moment and said, "Where to go?" ”

Gao Yanei said excitedly: "Li Qi, you must not have been to the door today, there are many people outside, and those people don't do anything anymore, just chatting on the street, not to mention how interesting, let's go quickly." ”

Depend on! You're going to send me to death! Li Qi hurriedly retracted his hand and said, "You want to harm me!" ”

Gao Yanei said angrily: "I kindly asked you to go out to play, how can I harm you." ”

Hong Tianjiu nodded and said, "That's right, big brother, we made a special trip to find you to hang out." ”

Li Qi said angrily: "Yes, I understand your kindness." But do you know why there are so many people out there? ”

"This naturally knows, like the Hong family, the Zhou family, and your drunken immortal residence have all closed their shops, and those people have nothing to do, not only to shop on the street." Gao Ya Nei Dao.

Li Qi said: "I know it, then you still came to call me, I made them have no job, they don't want to hate me at this time, I go out, in case they can't hold it and dismantle me, then I won't die unjustly." ”

Gao Yanei scratched his head and said: "You seem to have some truth in what you said, it's really a disappointment, Xiao Jiu, let's go." ”

A few people came and went quickly, and they left in a hurry.

At this time, Wu Furong suddenly walked over, and as soon as Li Qi saw him, he hurriedly stepped forward to block him and whispered: "Uncle Wu, now that Mrs. is angry, don't go to yourself to be bored." ”

Wu Furong was stunned for a moment, and said cautiously: "What's wrong with Madam?" ”

"It's not that menopause is coming, don't you see her, if she goes to you, you say that everything is what I ordered, you just do what you are told."

Wu Furong nodded and said, "But Master Li, it's not a way to go on like this?" ”

Li Qi smiled: "You are in a hurry, it's still early, this kind of thing has to be done slowly, that's interesting, stir-fry on high heat, although it is full of pleasure, but the fire is big, and cooking on low heat, then it tastes, haha." ”

(Ahh There are a lot of things on Monday today, and I can't do three more, everyone forgive me, tomorrow must be three more, and finally shout as usual, ask for a monthly pass, ask for a recommendation, and there is only one day left for the double monthly pass! οΌ‰
