Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
In private, Li Qi never wanted this great hero whose life was full of ups and downs to die again because he couldn't see the rise of the Great Song Dynasty; Yu Gong, Dengzhou occupies a vital position in his layout, but there are very few talents in his hands, and Yue Fei and others have not grown up, even if Han Shizhong did not go to Fuzhou, I am afraid that he cannot take on this important task, only Zong Ze, who is both civil and military, is the most suitable, it is no exaggeration to say that Zong Ze's body directly affects the entire layout, how can Li Qi not be nervous, as long as Zong Ze lives for one more year, it is the blessing of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is also his blessing.
Even in business, when you're not worth the price, no one will want to look for you, it's a simple truth.
Zong Ze has always been disappointed that he has no ability, but he has no place to do it, however, the attention shown by Li Qi today is also very affirmative of his ability. Don't look at Li Qi's youth, with Li Qi's current status, it is not easy to get his favor, there is a way to be a confidant who dies, Zong Ze can't help but be greatly moved in his heart.
Li Qi saw that Zong Ze agreed, and he also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, what he could do was only here, and then he had to listen to God's arrangement. simply didn't think about it anymore, and talked to Zong Ze about the situation in Dengzhou.
As soon as Zong Ze talked about business, his eyebrows immediately fluttered, and he said the thoughts that had been held in his heart for a long time, but in the end, he couldn't do without the landlord Haoqiang, after all, since ancient times, land has been the foundation of the people! Said: "Presumably, the economic envoy also knows that I have been to Dengzhou a few days ago, and I also know something about the rebellion of the Tao brothers, and their brothers rebelled only because the former governor of Dengzhou was mediocre, which was a personal grudge, and the reason why the people there responded to them was because they had no land but had to pay taxes, and they really couldn't make a living, so they embarked on this road of no return." ”
Speaking of this, he sighed again. Said helplessly: "When I was in Dengzhou as the general judge, there was already this situation, just the clan occupied hundreds of official land, and all of them were barren land, but these agricultural taxes were transferred to the people, for which I also played to the imperial court, and the imperial court learned about it." I was exempted from these taxes, but I didn't expect it to be like this again. It's even stricter. ”
Zhao Jingyan snorted: "Using this barren land to plunder taxes, improve political performance and covet personal interests has been common in my Great Song Dynasty, and it is really shameful. ”
Li Qi tilted his head towards Zhao Jingyan and whispered: "Don't say I didn't remind you, you seem to be also a relative of the emperor." ”
Zhao Jingyan was stunned for a moment, and also felt that this word came from his mouth, something was inappropriate, and she couldn't help but show embarrassment.
Li Qi took advantage of Zhao Jingyan and was very happy. Hehe smiled and wrote lightly: "The Governor of the Sect can rest assured, this situation is easy to solve, it's okay, it's okay." ”
The forces are intricate. It should be the hardest thing to solve. Zong Ze was confused, and hurriedly asked: "Then I don't know what the economic envoy has to solve it." ”
Zhao Jingyan reminded: "Don't mess around, most of those lands are given by the emperor, which is reasonable and legal, if you act rashly, those clans are not easy to mess with." ”
Li Qi rolled his eyes and said, "Of course I know this, and there is not a role model in front of me." ”
"It's really good to be reciprocated." Zhao Jingyan snorted, and said, "Don't sell it, hurry up, what can you do?" ”
Li Qi grinned: "You are also a clan, such a sensitive topic, I think you should avoid it!" ”
Zhao Jingyan sneered and said, "When you were talking about a more sensitive topic than this, why didn't you say that I avoided it, but instead came to ask for advice." ”
"Ahem, ahem, forget it, forget it, I'm afraid of you."
Li Qi was afraid that she would break out again, so he hurriedly stopped her and said, "Actually, I have already solved this matter." ”
"Huh?"
Zong and Zhao looked shocked, and their eyes were full of doubts.
"I don't believe it!"
Li Qi took out two or three pieces of paper from his sleeve and said, "Look. ”
Zong Ze hurriedly picked it up and took a look, and saw that it was a land deed, and it was a land deed of a certain clan in Dengzhou, and there was a power of attorney behind it, explaining that he would entrust this land to the Bureau of Commerce to take care of it, and he was even more surprised in his heart, and handed it to Zhao Jingyan.
Zhao Jingyan looked at it and said in disbelief: "This-this-how did you do it?" ”
Li Qi said angrily: "How did I do it?" Please, I didn't do anything at all, it was they who came to the door to beg me, plus His Royal Highness the Crown Prince interceded from the side, I reluctantly agreed, and I am not afraid to tell you honestly, I am a big loss. ”
Zong Ze was surprised: "Then what is going on?" Why do they hand over the land to the Bureau of Commerce to take care of it? ”
Li Qi smiled: "It seems that the Zong Governor's Mansion still doesn't know much about my new law!" The so-called barren land, that is, barren land, these lands don't even grow grass, not to mention the crops, in their hands, they can only use this to exploit the people, in exchange for that little profit, but in my hands it is different, then a piece of treasure land that can grow gold, I really want to lower the price, buy these barren land, but they are really shrewd enough, come to me in advance, and ask for a lot of favors, I agreed, hum! They also exploit the people, and if they provoke me, I have to force them to sell me the land at a low price, and then watch me get rich. ”
This is domineering!
Zhao Jingyan knew that Li Qi had always had a bad idea, but she also believed what he said.
But Zong Ze felt that this was too exaggerated, those are all relatives of the emperor, although you are now in the sky, it will not be whispered to you, but I don't know that anyone will whisper to interests, even if that person is the emperor. He asked: "I have also learned how those barren lands can produce gold, and it has no value. ”
Li Qi said: "To put it simply, two words, policy. ”
Zong Ze seemed to think of something, and said, "What do you mean." ”
Li Qi nodded and said: "Just because Dengzhou has the largest port in my Great Song Dynasty, then there is no worthless land within a radius of thousands of miles, and it depends on the policy of the imperial court, it is no exaggeration to say that I can make the value of these lands dozens of times more with one sentence, do you say that they can not come to me." These barren lands are used to grow crops, which is undoubtedly self-inflicted. But what if they are converted to commercial land? That's a big difference. ”
Zhao Jingyan's eyes lit up, and she nodded with a smile and said, "I understand, I understand, in this way, you are indeed a big loss." ”
Li Qi shook his head depressedly and said, "Who said it wasn't." The Imperial Court was already preparing to focus on the development of the Tokyo East Road, and also to strengthen maritime trade, so Dengzhou was a top priority. In addition, the imperial court also planned to build a large granary there. At that time, the number of businessmen in the past will definitely increase suddenly, and the population will also increase sharply, since they want to buy and sell, then they need land, and the first thing those businessmen will definitely do is to invest in and buy land, so that they can build houses and factories on those barren land, and build commercial areas one by one, and it depends on how I plan it. If I open a trade route over there, the value of the land will skyrocket. How can they not understand that the land rent alone is much more than the taxes? Truth be told, the land in the hands of those clans. Ninety percent has already gone into the hands of our Bureau of Commerce, and the remaining layer is for their own business. ”
Zong Ze stroked his beard, groaned for a while, and said with a smile: "The economy makes the high-talented, Zong Ze is convinced, it is really better to meet than to be famous." ”
"How dare you, how dare you."
Li Qi waved his hand and said, "This is just a meeting gift from me to the Zong Governor's Mansion, it's not worth mentioning!" Dengzhou has a unique geographical advantage, as long as the policy is in place, then it is logical. We are far from it, just this increase in the flow of people, there will definitely be more business opportunities, such as selling daily necessities, restaurants, tea shops, these industries will increase sharply in the future, then manpower will not be wasted, and the value of labor will definitely increase, the local people do not say that they can soar, but at least food and clothing are worry-free. ”
Zhao Jingyan smiled and said: "I'm afraid it's not just that, if as Li Qi said, Dengzhou will definitely become a commercial powerhouse in the future, then the imperial court will focus on commercial taxes, and agricultural taxes will become relatively less eye-catching, and those dignitaries and dignitaries have obtained commercial benefits, and they will definitely be willing to make certain concessions to agricultural profits, which will be more convenient for Uncle Zong." ”
Zong Ze laughed and said, "After you say this, I feel that I have nothing to do." ”
Li Qi smiled bitterly: "This is easy to say, but it is really not easy to do, the prefect of the sect still has a lot to do, such as building roads, building rivers, allocating manpower and material resources, and protecting the interests of the people, because there will definitely be very strong people who will find ways to make profits from it." In short, this is by no means something that can be said in one word, and the Zong Prefect will be busy in the future. ”
Zong Ze laughed and said: "Zong has been idle for most of his life, and he just wants to be busy but can't get it, how can he be too busy." ”
Li Qi smiled and said: "Actually, what I'm most worried about is to rectify the Heshuo army, although the imperial court has already issued an order, but I estimate that the military salary allocated is extremely limited, and even pitiful, it is not easy to train an army that can at least fight." ”
Zong Ze said: "Regarding the Heshuo Army, I also thought about it on the way here, in fact, the east of Tokyo East Road faces the sea, and there are two natural dangers in the northwest and southwest, the Yellow River and the canal. As for military training, I think that when the military salary is insufficient, we can adopt the strategy of all the people are soldiers, all the people are farmers, and all the people are business, and use the only military funds to train a good army, not to seek more but to be refined, and in peacetime, we can often organize some people who are in the prime of life to conduct drills, as a reserve, once they encounter a war, they can also resist the enemy, in addition, if the treasury is full and the military salary increases, they can also be directly promoted to the regular army. ”
Li Qi nodded frequently, he was very relieved about Zong Ze's military talent, but he didn't dare to pay attention to it, and said with a smile: "In fact, there are still some aspects that can save a lot of military salaries, such as building river defenses, if you report military expenses, then it is very likely to be rejected or delayed, but if you report business expenses, then I can help a little, so that you can save a lot of military expenses and use them to recruit more soldiers." ”
Zong Zeke is a good law-abiding citizen, and said, "Is this good? ”
Li Qi smiled: "What's wrong, the river is also very important for business travel, and I have prepared the funds in this regard." ”
Zhao Jingyan chuckled: "Regarding this, Uncle Zong, please rest assured, this person has no great ability, but no one can play with him in terms of money." ”
Li Qi said angrily: "This is not a big skill, then I have to ask Yan Fu Zongji, what is a big ability." ”
Zhao Jingyan said slyly: "Of course, it's cooking." ”
"Well, that's right, if you can talk." Rich said very low-key.
Zhao Jingyan looked at the sky again and said, "Yo, before you know it, it's almost noon." ”
Li Qi smiled: "You don't need to say that, you can't choose this place before the store, you can't go to the village later, I don't just do it myself, don't worry, I have already ordered someone to get the materials, it should be almost there." ”
Zhao Jingyan gave a thumbs up and said, "Amazing!" It is worthy of being the famous golden knife chef, and the consideration is thoughtful. ”
"Thanks for the compliment." Li Qi snorted angrily.
After all, it was the first time for Zong Ze and Li Qi to meet, although they knew that he was the king of the golden knife chef, but they didn't understand his personality, and seeing that he seemed to be going to cook for himself by himself, he hurriedly said: "It's so troublesome to use the economy, I brought dry food." ”
"Dry food?"
Li Qi was stunned and looked at Zong Ze in surprise.
Zong Ze was stunned and said, "Isn't there something wrong?" ”
Li Qi said: "Of course it's not proper, how can I allow guests to eat dry food in front of me, this is simply insulting me, if this spreads, then where will I put my face." Besides, to be honest, cooking has always been my most powerful ability, I also want to show off in front of the prefect, and I hope that the prefect can satisfy such a small vanity, and I am grateful! ”
Zhao Jingyan laughed when she heard this, and said, "Uncle Zong, don't you know, I haven't eaten his dishes for a long time, I miss it so much, today is really a blessing to you." ”
Seeing that they all said this, how could it be okay to say it again, haha: "Actually, I'm just afraid that I will taste the delicacies of the Golden Knife Chef, so I don't want to go to Dengzhou." ”
Zhao Jingyan and Li Qiden also laughed.
Zhao Jingyan asked with a smile: "Then I don't know what delicacies the Golden Knife Chef King has prepared today?" ”
Li Qi smiled: "There is a way that there is no feast without chickens." ”
Zhao Jingyan's eyes lit up, and she said: "Isn't it that kind of mud chicken, it's really wonderful, wonderful." ”
Li Qi's face darkened, and he said, "Could it be that in your heart, I have already exhausted my donkey skills to such a point?" Showing off an old dish? That's not my style. ”
Zhao Jingyan was stunned for a moment and said, "Isn't it?" ”
"Of course not."
"So what?"
"You'll find out later."
