Song Huizong and the ministers saw that Zhao Liangsi said this, and they were naturally convinced, don't say that Li Qi is unwilling to go, even if he is willing to go, Song Huizong will never let him go, it is too dangerous, in case he angers Yan Zongwang, it will be really dead.

After some deliberation, none of the ministers were willing to go, so they all pushed left and right, and finally chose a person named Li Ye to give the matter.

Song Huizong hurriedly ordered someone to prepare a generous gift, and even secretly told Li Ye that the Great Song Dynasty was willing to pay tribute to Jin, and now he only hopes to avoid this catastrophe, and nothing else matters.

So Li Ye was ordered to be in danger, but when he agreed, tears flashed in the corners of his eyes.

From beginning to end, no one in the court put forward a tough opinion, first of all, what they thought of was to escape, and secondly, it was to sue for peace, which shows how weak the Song Dynasty was once it faced heavy pressure, which was also the consistent urine of the Song Dynasty, of course, even more so now.

After the meeting, almost every minister left the palace in a state of despair, this qiΔ“ came too suddenly, and their little hearts could not bear it!

Although Li Qi was relatively relaxed, his face was very panicked, and as he walked, he suddenly heard someone behind him shouting: "Economic envoy, economic envoy." ”

Li Qi turned his head and looked, it was Li Ye in the matter, his heart was like a mirror, but he was curious: "Li Zhishi, did you call me?" ”

Although there are countless things in my court, the economic envoy is just you, not who you are called. Li Ye muttered to himself and nodded, "Exactly." Precisely. ”

Li Qi said: "I don't know what Li is doing to find something?" ”

Li Ye said with a smile: "The last time the economic envoy went to Yanshan Mansion, he made clever arguments about the ministers of the Jin State. Yang my great Song Guowei, to this day is still talked about, Xia Guan has never dealt with the Jin people in his life, so he wanted to come to the economic envoy to ask for a few tricks. ”

If you want to talk about this eloquence, this belly full of bad ideas, it is really no one to compare with Li Qi, Li Ye has witnessed countless times with his own eyes, how Li Qi turned the tide with his mouth. Moreover, Li Qi often had the upper hand when negotiating with the Jin people, so he wanted to seek advice and seek advice, and by the way, he explored the reality of the Jin country.

Li Qi sighed heavily.

Li Ye trembled all over, and asked with a trembling mouth: "Why is the economy sighing?" ”

Li Qi slapped him on the shoulder, and his legs went limp, and he almost fell to the ground. Li Qi almost laughed out loud when he saw it, he was really the best candidate, and I believe that Wanyan Zongwang would definitely laugh at this generous gift. Said: "Li Zhishi, things have come to this point, for the sake of your life, then I will tell the truth." ”

For the sake of life? Li Ye blinked blankly. "Is it -- is there still a danger to life?" ”

Li Qi nodded and said, "It's not true, it's certain." ”

Li Ye cheered himself up and said: "This-how is this possible, the two countries are at war, don't kill it!" ”

Li Qi said: "That's right, but it has to be different from person to person. The Jurchens don't even know a single word, can you expect them to keep this great truth? When I was on an envoy to Yanshan Mansion. I saw with my own eyes that Wanyan completely tied up several Liao envoys to the ground, and then sent fifty war horses to step back and forth on them, this scene is really terrifying! I was curious, so I stepped forward and asked, "What did you say about the Jurchen?" ”

"He- what did he say?"

Li Qi said: "The person in charge told me that there were too many Liao people, and after they were killed, the corpses were difficult to deal with, so they simply used their corpses to pave the ground and pave the uneven ground." Sure enough, as soon as the war horse stopped, I looked at it from a distance, and oh, those people were completely embedded in the soil, and they were really all even-what happened to you, Li? ”

When Li Ye heard this, his body fell, but fortunately, Li Qi was quick and helped him.

Li Ye was stunned suddenly, sweating profusely, and grabbed Li Qi's hands, and said, "Economic envoy, you want to save me!" ”

You're not, you're scared like this, my ten Manchu tortures haven't started yet. Li Qi saw that he gave an example, and the other party was frightened, so he omitted the latter and comforted: "Don't be nervous about Li Zhi, the Khitan people and the Jurchens have a deep enmity like the sea, and they are justified in doing this, our Great Song Dynasty has no grievances with the Jin Kingdom, I believe they will not treat you like this, but you should pay attention to what you say, don't say anything that makes the Jin people unhappy, all in all, say less and make fewer mistakes." ”

Li Ye nodded hurriedly and said, "Hey, hey, this is from my province, this is from my province." ”

Li Qi flickered at him a few more words, and then galloped and said, "Okay, Li Qi is here to wish Li a smooth journey." ”

Can this still be a tailwind? The corners of Li Ye's eyes are downward, and he really has a bitter face!

Because Song Huizong was in a hurry, he didn't give Li Ye much time to prepare, so he set off that night, and it is said that when Li Ye set off, he fainted once.

Soon, the news of Jinguo's dispatch of troops spread throughout Tokyo.

For a while, people were panicked!

But that's all, because the people living in Tokyo have not experienced war after all, and the Song Dynasty has not been at war since the founding of the country, so they are also used to it, and they are more worried about their relatives in the north. They don't seem to know the severity of things yet.

Li Qi returned home and held a family meeting with his three fiancΓ©es, Li Qi was really not in the mood at this time, and said half a more sensational word, all in all, four words, life and death.

You women still do what you have to do, and we men will take care of the rest.

Feng Yinu and the other three daughters didn't say much, but just asked Li Qi to take care of his body, in fact, they had already paid attention to it in their hearts, Jun Sheng, I was born, I died, and I would not be reluctant to live in the world.

Because the three of them have one thing in common, that is, their loved ones have either died, or they don't know who it is, or they have been deeply hurt by them, and in the world, the only thing they care about is Li Qi.

Therefore, it is precisely because of this emotional foundation that they seem very calm and calm in the face of difficulties. Is it a big deal to die?

This made Li Qi very pleased, he originally wanted to send Feng Yinu and them away. But when he thought of it, the only thing these women could rely on was himself, if he was gone, then they would not have a good time living in this troubled world. This also reduces his worries.

However, just one day later, prices in Tokyo have risen to a jaw-dropping level. Naturally, the first thing that began to rise was grain, and rising prices were a basic feature of troubled times, and this was inevitable.

Those profiteers used to ignore a qiΔ“ of grain just for this day, but now they finally made them wait. Of course, they have to cherish it, unite together, and speculate on grain, at a price every moment, because they all know that this is the best time to make money. The facts of the past tell them that it will not be long before a large number of people will migrate to Tokyo, and they will have to eat.

The price of this grain has risen, and the rest of the prices have to go up.

Qin Hui faced this situation. I had a terrible headache, but I couldn't think of anything about it. Hurry up to find Li Qi and explain the matter in detail. Li Qi had already expected it, and sneered: "There is a way that you must first settle inside the outside, it's time for them to know why the flowers are so red." ”

He knew very well that this was only the beginning, and as the war deepened, the price of goods would rise sooner or later to the point where the people would be allowed to sell meat and blood, which he would never allow. Immediately asked Qin Hui to summon the major grain merchants to the Bureau of Commerce for a meeting.

Bureau of Commerce.

Li Qi looked at the grain merchants sitting and said, "You really don't recognize people, about the price of grain, we said at the beginning, you must cooperate with our Bureau of Commerce, but how long has it been, the price of this grain has risen so much that even I can't afford it." ”

One of the businessmen said: "Economic envoy, it's no wonder that we don't believe in our words, at this time and that time, in business, things are scarce and expensive, and the population of Tokyo will face a rapid growth, and there is only so much food, even if we send it for free, it will not be enough!" This is not the first time that food prices have risen for granted, and this has been the case since ancient times. ”

The rest nodded their heads.

"Visionary. Not bad, not bad. Li Qi smiled, changed his words, and said, "But you can't help but underestimate my Commerce Bureau." Bring it up and let them see it. ”

After a while, several subordinates took thick materials and distributed them to the grain merchants present.

Li Qi said: "As we all know, I am surrounded by mountains and rivers in Tokyo, there are countless rivers, the land is fertile, and this year's harvest can be used as several states in the Golden Country, and you tell me that it is not enough." Hehe, that's ridiculous. Don't think I don't know what tricks you want to play, so I opened up to the official. These materials are recorded in detail how much grain each of your families has stored, and how much grain we store in Tokyo. I humbly tell you, not counting this year's harvest, the existing grain alone is definitely enough for all the people of Tokyo to lie down and eat for three years, or even more than that, that is, even if the population of Tokyo increases by more than three times, it will be enough to eat for a year, not enough points? Are you lying to me, or are you lying to yourself! ”

The grain merchants looked at the information, you look at me, I look at you, but no one spoke, and it was obvious that they wanted to tell SΓΉ Li Qi in silence, this grain is mine, I can sell it as I like, can you control it?

"Oh, don't talk anymore, you're ready to fight me to the end!" Li Qi nodded and said, "I have absolutely no objection to this." All along, this official has been centered on you big businessmen, but if there is a good thing, I will consider you first, and now it seems that I have spoiled you, maybe I have always been too kind, and now it is time to see the means of my Li people. ”

Those grain merchants were stunned when they heard this, and their hearts were a little empty, but they still didn't want to speak, how could they give up such a big cake.

Li Qi propped his hands on the table and said with a smile: "Since I can hold you with one hand, then I can also destroy you with one hand." ”

"Economic envoy, it seems a little inappropriate for you to say this, although you are an economic envoy, but you can't directly interfere in our business, as long as we don't break the law, you have no right to intervene." One of them suddenly stood up and said. This person is the Gu boss of the Gu family's rice shop. (To be continued)
