Li Qi didn't stay in the imperial dining room for long, this is by no means like his previous style, Guy was looked at by Zuo Boqing, in addition, he also got a lot of expensive tonic from Wang Hao not long ago, and he didn't need to be in such a hurry to replenish the stock at present.

After coming out of the palace, Li Qi immediately rushed to the Bureau of Commerce. When he was away, the Commerce Bureau was all helmed by Qin Hui.

As soon as Qin Hui saw Li Qi, he said, "My lord, I heard that Vice Marshal Guo, who was guarding the foot, has left Beijing?" ”

"Don't talk about it."

Li Qi replied lightly, but he thought in his heart that this guy was also sensitive to this aspect of things, even if he had nothing to do with him, he could detect some clues. He asked, "How has the affairs of the Flying Money Bureau been done recently?" ”

Seeing that Li Qi didn't want to say more, Qin Hui didn't dare to continue asking, and said seriously: "My lord, the Flying Money Bureau is facing a problem now. ”

Li Qi said: "Let's hear it." ”

Qin Hui said: "Nowadays, almost all of our businessmen or dignitaries in the capital go to other places to do business, so they are looking forward to opening this flying money bureau as soon as possible, however, the government in many places is very short of money, if the flying money bureau is opened today, the flying money bureau in the capital will immediately have a capital expansion phenomenon, but the businessmen go outside and can't withdraw money from other places at all." ”

Li Qi nodded and said, "So, we have to bear a freight first." ”

Qin Hui nodded and said, "Exactly." ”

"Anyway, this freight is indispensable, no matter what kind of transaction requires costs, then step up, first open the line from Tokyo to Hangzhou, transport the funds to Hangzhou, and then let Zheng Er disperse to various places."

Qin Hui said: "Yes." Xia Guan knew what to do. ”

Li Qi suddenly remembered something and said: "In addition, let's start the flying money bureaus in Dengzhou and Laizhou first." ”

Qin Hui was stunned and looked at Li Qi with a hint of surprise.

Li Qi explained: "We have always focused on Jiangnan, but from today onwards, I plan to start developing Laizhou, Dengzhou and other places. That is, the area east of Tokyo East Road, which uses them as the first stop of the new law in the north. ”

Qin Hui couldn't help but be stunned again, he had been by Li Qi's side for so long, and it was the first time he heard Li Qi seriously talk about promoting the new law in the north, and he felt a little sudden, and said: "My lord, if you want to promote the new law north of the Yellow River, the lower officials think that they can use the Daimyo's Mansion as an experimental point. Second, the Daimyo Mansion itself has considerable strength and a large population, and the new law can be well popularized. We can also focus on the Daimyo's house. The new law will be promoted in a layered manner to areas such as the northern part of the country and Tokyo Higashiji. ”

Li Qi sneered and said, "Did I say that I would promote the new law in the north?" ”

Qin Hui sighed and said, "Then I don't know what the adults mean?" ”

Li Qi said: "It's just for Dengzhou and Laizhou, don't worry about the rest, on the contrary, we want to build this area into a northern economic center and military center." ”

Qin Hui frowned and said, "Is it because of Zong Ze?" ”

"There's a reason for that." Li Qi responded simply, and said: "From today onwards, our Commerce Bureau will encourage those businessmen in the capital and the areas south of Tokyo who are going to do business in the north to take the waterway, and try to go to the side of Tokyo East Road, and dedicate transportation to drive the economy of this area." In addition, we will focus on reducing import and export taxes at the ports of Noboru and Rae, and find ways to increase maritime trade with Japan, Goryeo, and the Kingdom of Jin. Oh, and also, send people to the north of the Yellow River to spread the news that the imperial court should focus on the development of this area. ”

Qin Hui's brows tightened when he heard this, and he said: "But in this case, there may be a large number of people in the north who move to Deng, Lai, and there will be an imbalance in the economy, and besides, the government of Daimyo Mansion and other places may not agree, the imperial court can only allocate so much money every year, if all of them are invested in Deng, Lai, they will inevitably be greatly affected, and since the last expedition to Liao, the area north of the Yellow River has been greatly affected, and they all expect the imperial court to help them rebuild their homes." ”

Li Qi said lightly: "How much money does the treasury have, I think you also know, how can you do everything, you go to tell them, at most a year and a half, once Jiangnan is stabilized, the imperial court will focus on revitalizing the north." ”

Qin Hui was curious: "But, why did the adults suddenly do this?" ”

This person is too shrewd, if he tells him about the hidden dangers that Pharmacist Guo will bring, he may be able to find some opportunities from it. Li Qi said with a smile: "My purpose is very simple, that is, to strengthen maritime trade, only when maritime trade is paid enough attention, the imperial court has a reason to develop sailors, of course, the most important thing is, the shipyard in Fuzhou, if everyone goes to land, who will our ships sell to?" ”

This reason did not make Qin Hui suspicious, the ship business is a big deal, and said: "My lord is really far-sighted. ”

Li Qi said: "Hurry up and get a detailed plan, don't let Zong Ze go all the way to Dengzhou to take office, but there is nothing to do." ”

Qin Hui arched his hand and said, "Obey." ”

Li Qi said again: "In addition, speed up the Jiangnan plan, and then urge the merchants in the capital to transfer the money they have hoarded to Jiangnan, you have to remember that since the imperial court can't come up with money, then only the merchants can rely on it, and only money can make Jiangnan quickly restore its former appearance." ”

"Yes, the lower official will order it later."

Having said that, Qin Hui's eyes were full of doubts. Because of this policy, it indicates that the Bureau of Commerce has completely abandoned the areas north of the Yellow River, and all the funds in Tokyo will be transferred to the south of the Yangtze River, and the manpower and material resources in the north will also be transferred to the East Tokyo Road. In the future, if you want to revitalize the north, it will be much more difficult.

In fact, Li Qi is also helpless, since Song Huizong accepted the opinions of Wang Hao, Cai You, Tong Guan and others, and revoked the defense north of the Yellow River, which means that relative to the Jin State, the only line of defense is the Yanjing region, if the Yanjing area is lost, then the north will definitely fall, which makes Li Qi struggle very much, has been hesitant. Because since Yanjing was recovered, it has always been guarded by those old Yan troops who had rebelled, and if you want to transfer them away, it will take a lot of brains, and, more importantly, Li Qi is not a privy envoy, he does not have this power at all, and he does not dare to fully trust these old Yan troops, which makes him struggle. Because no matter how much you do, as soon as the Jin army comes over, there will be nothing, but after the 1125 years, he really doesn't dare to gamble, so even if it is separated by a river, he still resolutely focuses on Jiangnan thousands of miles ago.

However, now that Guo Yaoshi has returned to Yanjing, this undoubtedly completely disrupts his overall plan, and also makes him more resolute in choosing to give up the north, and even makes him worry about Tokyo's economic system, because once the Jin army breaks through Yanjing, it will only take about a month to hit Bianjing at the earliest, no matter whether or not Tokyo can be held by then, Tokyo's economy will be devastated, so he plans to transfer all the funds in the Tokyo market to Jiangnan first, anyway, how do you develop here, Maybe you'll have to start all over again, so why not help Jiangnan revitalize quickly.

And with the current tragic situation of the Northern Song Dynasty, he can only take care of one of the two ends, and he can't do everything at all.

All in all, Guo Yaoshi's departure has made everything full of variables, in fact, there is another point that makes Li Qi very annoying, that is, Guo Yaoshi has been in the forbidden army for a while, and he also knows the current forbidden army very well, in other words, at least all the defenses inside and outside the capital have to be changed, which is undoubtedly a very vast project, and it has also cast a shadow in his heart, and he has a headache when he thinks about it, and his confidence in the future has also been slightly hit.

Sometimes, he really preferred not to have studied history so that he wouldn't be so bothered.

After coming out of the Bureau of Commerce, Li Qi rushed to the ordnance superintendent non-stop, no matter what the economy says, it is soft power, this soft power in the military strength, that may be able to play an unimaginable role, but, when the military force is weak, it is simply vulnerable, a paper tiger, so, in the Song Dynasty, which lacked horses, the status of the ordnance supervisor is particularly important.

When he came to the Ordnance Prison, Li Qi immediately called Yu Qi over and asked, "Young Eunuch Yu, how is the recent weapon development?" ”

Yu Qi replied truthfully: "Xiaguan is also trying to discuss this matter with the supervisor, and the progress of the base has been slow recently. ”

Li Qi was immediately worried when he heard it, MD, why hasn't there been any good news recently? "Why?" he asked. ”

Yu Qi said: "It's still the same old problem, the research and development of weapons is not only one aspect of technology, but also has to develop many aspects at the same time, such as iron, copper smelting and other technologies, and the resources in our hands are very scarce, and many good ideas are not well supported by technical support, so the progress is very slow." ”

Li Qi frowned and said, "You said directly, what else do you need?" ”

Yu Qi said: "At least we must have enough smelting talents, and it is best to have a few smelting workshops, so that we can develop according to my needs and do not need to be constrained." However, these are all exclusive to the imperial court, and they are under the control of the three divisions, which is almost impossible. ”

Li Qi sneered: "Nothing is impossible, isn't it just the third division, okay, I will take care of this, you immediately send someone to survey some smelting workshops near the capital, remember, things are dead, there is nothing to build, talent is the key, I don't want to get just a room." ”

Yu Qi's face still looked a little worried, and said, "But will the third division agree to us?" ”

"Why don't you ask if the three divisions who are poor jingle now will drive the money outside?" Li Qi asked rhetorically.

Yu Qi nodded in disdain, knowing that these things were not for him to decide.

Li Qi said again: "But this will take some months at the earliest, I don't have much time to waste, you let the Wu brothers step up research and development, in addition, go outside to recruit more gunpowder talents, oh, you can't be careless just because you are in a hurry, all the personnel who enter the military weapons prison must even check the eighteenth generation of his ancestors, and those who are not clear are not allowed to accept it." ”

"The subordinate obeys."
