The appearance of the gas mask and the rainstorm pear flower arrow made Li Qi more confident and in a good mood, and he ordered someone to book a few tables of banquets from the Drunken Immortal Residence that day, and some fine wine, and rewarded Yu Yunwen and other craftsmen.

However, Yu Yunwen's expression also made Li Qi more sure that there was nothing wrong with his approach, if it weren't for his appearance, Yu Yunwen would only become a Confucian master in the future, but for everyone with Confucianism, the Song Dynasty was really too much, there was nothing unusual, although Yu Yunwen's innate talent still made him shine in history, but compared to now, it is nothing.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Yu Yunwen, who is now in the age of a weak crown, can definitely be called a national treasure, and he can reach hundreds of Confucian scholars, not to mention far away, Jin Guo will definitely be happy with such an exchange.

During the banquet, Li Qi gave an order to Wu Youcai to ask the ordnance supervisor to make gas masks with all his might, because they would soon be able to use them.

In the past day, the Dali envoy Duan Shiwen finally entered Beijing, and the same as the Goryeo and Japanese envoys, the first thing Duan Shiwen did when he entered Beijing was to congratulate Zhao Kai, in fact, Zhao Kai's accession to the throne was also very critical for their Dali Duan clan, because they didn't know what the attitude of the new emperor to their Dali was? So they dare to slack off.

You must know that in these years, the emperor's mind directly affects the direction of policy.

However, Zhao Kai also met him in person and greeted Duan Zhengyan, the king of Dali, with concern.

If Li Qi wants to award a peerless award to a foreign friend, then Duan Zhengyan must be one of the peace awards, because the Song Dynasty set the policy of "no time to go far" since Taizu, and the relationship between the two countries gradually drifted apart, until Duan Zhengyan ascended the throne, the relationship between the two countries slowly improved, and Duan Zhengyan has always regarded himself as a minister in the face of the Song Dynasty. This made Song Huizong like him even more, which is why Song Huizong promised to support Duan Zhengyan for 500,000 yuan.

Of course, Zhao Kai understands this, so he has no hostility towards Duan Zhengyan, but then again, if there is no hostility, it does not mean that he is not an enemy, and interests are the right and left hands that decide a qiē.

Zhao Kai and Duan Shiwen talked for nearly an hour, but what they talked about was on the scene, and Zhao Kai only said that he was very supportive of Dali Duan's family. Not Gao's, as for those substantive matters, Li Qi still has to talk to him.

That night, Duan Shiwen came to visit Li Qi's manor in the western suburbs.

"Haha, Envoy Duan, don't come unharmed."

On this cold day, Li Qi took Chen Anan out to greet him, which was a treatment that the envoys of Goryeo and Japan did not have.

When Duan Shiwen saw Li Qi, his expression was very excited. He also wiped the corners of his eyes, "Economic envoy, it's great to see you again." ”

No, I've only come to Da Song a few times. The acting skills have become exquisite. Li Qi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then he understood, and said with a smile: "Envoy Duan's words are very inappropriate, I don't stand here to be strange." ”

The implication. It is nothing more than saying that the golden soldiers are not worth mentioning.

Duan Shiwen also reacted. Hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, Duan said the wrong thing, sorry, sorry." ”

In fact, he really didn't act, when he heard that the Jin soldiers hit Kaifeng, he was really scared half to death, because the rise and fall of the Song Dynasty will directly affect whether Duan Zhengyan can regain power.

"Where, where, envoy Duan is outside." Li Qi smiled, stretched out his hand and said, "Please." ”

"Please."

When they came to the house, they sat down on the sand in front of the fireplace, and sometimes they heard the crackling sound of firewood popping in the fireplace.

Duan Shiwen sat on the sand, looking at the fireplace that was burning, although it was only two years, but it was like a world away, whether it was their Dali or the Great Song Dynasty, in the past two years, there have been a lot of changes, but he is also very amazed by the strength of the Great Song Dynasty, after the catastrophe, it was restored within a year as before, and there was almost no change in the whole of Tokyo, he was wondering if the Jin soldiers really came here.

Just when Duan Shiwen was thinking a lot, he suddenly smelled the aroma of wine, quickly retracted his mind, looked at the coffee table in front of him, and saw a completely transparent and peculiar cup on the table, his eyes widened, and he said in surprise: "This is-?" ”

Li Qi smiled: "This is a new product of our Drunken Immortal Residence, called Glass, when the envoy Duan returns, I will send some for you to take back." ”

As he spoke, he had already poured a glass of champagne for Duan Shiwen, handed it over, and said, "This wine is also a new kind of unparalleled in the world that our Drunken Immortal Residence has just launched, called Champagne, I hope that Duan Envoy can evaluate one or two." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare."

Duan Shiwen hurriedly took the glass of wine with both hands, carefully looked at the glass for a while, under the unique color of champagne, this goblet was even more noble, so that Duan Shiwen was amazed, and after observing for a long time, he took a sip of champagne, his eyes closed slightly, and he exclaimed: "Good wine, good wine, the wine brewed by the economy is no longer something that ordinary people such as us can evaluate." ”

"Envoy Duan has won the prize." Li Qi laughed and said: "But envoy Duan, I am no longer an economic envoy, you can call me Li Qi, or call me a privy envoy." ”

"Yes, yes, in fact, when I came, I already knew that you had been promoted to a privy envoy, but I couldn't change my words for a while." Of course, Duan Shiwen didn't dare to call Li Qi's name directly, and said: "But what makes me curious is that why you didn't continue to serve as an economic envoy is true, it's hard for me to believe that there is a second person in this world who is more suitable for this son than a privy envoy." ”

The fact that the envoys of various countries regard the post of economic envoy as very important shows how important the post of economic envoy is.

Richie wrote lightly: "Today's economic envoy is my wife." ”

"That's right."

Duan Shiwen smiled and nodded, doesn't this family talk to each other, of course he knows that Li Qi must be in charge behind the scenes.

Li Qi continued: "And the reason why I did not serve as an economic envoy again is because the emperor has entrusted me with more important tasks. For example, you Dali. ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Duan Shiwen meaningfully.

Duan Shiwen was slightly stunned, and immediately reacted, first put down the wine glass gently, sat upright, and said, "I don't know what the privy envoy said two years ago, can you still count?" ”

Li Qi didn't answer and asked, "What does Envoy Duan mean by this?" Don't you think that because I am in such a great calamity, I am powerless to help you? ”

Duan Shiwen hurriedly shook his head and said, "Privy Counsellor, forgive me, I definitely didn't mean that. ”

That being said. But Li Qi knows that this is what he meant, but it's no wonder, you're about to beat people down, it's only been less than a year, how can you still have the ability to help others. said: "Envoy Duan is too worried. Yes, the Jin army's southward movement has indeed caused a lot of damage to our Great Song Dynasty, but you can't just look at the bad side, you should look at the good side, since the current emperor ascended the throne, he has worked hard. The national strength is better than before, Jiangnan is rich, Hebei is recovering, and everything is moving towards prosperity, and more importantly, the emperor now attaches more importance to the dealings with your Dali, but between the Gao family's existence, our relationship has not been able to make substantial progress, so the emperor is very eager to hope that Duan Zhengyan can regain the royal power. This is one of the most important reasons why I became a privy councillor. ”

Duan Shiwen was overjoyed when he heard this, and said, "What the privy envoy said is true. ”

Li Qi nodded and said, "Of course, now that I Jiangnan has returned to the past, if I want to go further." It is urgent to expand trade with your Dali, but then again, we will not help you in vain. We hope that after Duan Zhengyan regains power, he will be completely open to our Great Song merchants, and then work with us to curb Jiaozhi. In order to achieve that you have me, I have you. ”

Li Qi's "confession" made Duan Shiwen ecstatic, there is a way that it is unprofitable and cannot afford to be early, if it is based on his words, the Great Song Dynasty will donate for free, then he will definitely doubt Li Qi's intentions, but now it makes him more relieved, and said: "Your Majesty and our monarch really coincide with what you think." ”

"If that's the case, it couldn't be better." Li Qi smiled and said: "Our Great Song Dynasty's aid plan has not changed, you haven't forgotten what I said to you two years ago, if you want me to help you, the first step, you must let us see your strength." ”

Duan Shiwen hurriedly said: "Please rest assured that this privy envoy can rest assured, after I conveyed the privy envoy's words to our king, the king was very happy, and praised the privy envoy for his brilliant plan. With the support of your country, our king secretly sent people to recruit troops and horses among the people, and now he has recruited 20,000 soldiers and horses, but. ”

Speaking of this, he looked at Li Qi with great embarrassment, it turned out that in the first year, Li Qi ordered people to pretend to be merchants, infiltrated the caravan, and sent a lot of weapons and money to Duan Zhengyan, but because Jiangnan was still in the recovery period at that time, he was unable to supply food, but Li Qi also gave a lot of money to let them buy and sell food in the country.

However, because Li Qi knew that Jin Guoken would attack last year, he stopped after sending the first batch of aid to Duan Zhengyan as capital, and the whole country went all out to resist Jin, and this second batch of aid was not followed.

Li Qi said apologetically: "You know it too. ”

Duan Shiwen hurriedly said: "We understand that your country is suffering from this great disaster, and it is inevitable that we will be a little powerless, but our king firmly believes that your country can have the last laugh, so our king insists on carrying out the plan, and for this reason he also secretly sells his belongings in order to beckon more people." ”

Li Qi smiled: "Yes, yes, this also proves that we are not wrong, your king is really far-sighted and courageous." It's just that there are only 20,000 soldiers and horses, isn't it too little? ”

Duan Shiwen sighed: "This really can't be blamed on us, because this matter can only be done in secret, and our king can't show his face, in order to avoid the eyes and ears of the Gao family, we can only do what the privy envoy ordered, recruit some from the east, recruit some from the west, and let them disperse, there is not even a leader, and it is already very good to be able to recruit 20,000 soldiers and horses." ”

Li Qi nodded in understanding, he understood very well that this rebellion is about responding to all calls, but generally growing in the process of war, but they don't even have a leader, and they have been standing still, it is difficult to make progress and go further.
