"Fifty thousand gambling?" Li Qi looked at Qin Hui in surprise and said in confusion: "What do you mean?" β
Qin Hui explained: "Back to the adult's words, the envoys of Dashi and Byzantium chartered the gambling boat of Hongwan Gambling House, and invited the envoys of various countries to gamble on the boat tomorrow night, but the premise is to come up with 50,000 yuan of gambling money, in addition, they also released the word, no matter who it is, as long as they can come up with at least 50,000 yuan of gambling money, they can get on the ship to participate." β
This is inevitably a local tyrant, right? Li Qi smiled: "It's kind of interesting. But why did they do it? β
Qin Hui hesitated slightly, but finally didn't say anything.
Is there something greasy in it? Li Qi raised his sword eyebrows and said, "Don't you know either?" β
Qin Hui was extremely uncertain and said: "There is no definite evidence, it is just a conjecture of the lower officials." β
"Your conjecture, ten likely, is the truth, say it quickly, don't hide it." Li Qi waved his hand and said a little impatiently. I thought, if you don't want to say, just say that you don't know, it's really a bitch and a memorial arch, Lao Tzu is the most annoying of this set.
I don't know that he likes to play this trick the most.
Qin Hui still seemed to be a little worried, and said, "That--then the lower official will say it directly." β
Li Qi snorted and said, "Xiao Qin, when did you become like a girl, mother-in-law." β
Qin Hui had long been accustomed to Li Qi's way of saying, and said truthfully: "This matter may be caused by adults. β
"Because of me?"
This answer surprised Richie a little.
Qin Hui nodded and said, "Your Excellency met with the envoys of Goryeo and Dali a few days ago, but he ignored the envoys from the Western Regions. It may have angered them because of this, and that's why they opened this bet. Come up with this breath. β
Li Qi frowned when he heard this, and said, "This can also provoke them?" Exercise! Are they all children? β
Qin Hui said: "Your Excellency may not know, the envoys over there in the Western Regions are all very arrogant, and your Excellency has not given them enough explanations when they do this, which will make them feel that your Excellency despises them, and your Excellency puts them behind Gaoli and Dali, which is also intolerable to them." β
They are 108,000 miles away from my Great Song Dynasty. Far water can't save the near fire, of course I'm picking the important one first, Lao Tzu has always been right about things and not people as officials, it seems that they still lack understanding of me. Li Qi nodded and said, "Okay, even if that's the case, then you sue me." Can they get out of this way by opening this bet? β
Qin Hui frowned and said: "According to the opinion of the lower officials, their move is nothing more than to show their strength to outsiders, and they also want to sue Lord SΓΉ that you don't pay attention to them, it is your loss, in addition." Maybe they'll find a way to lure you on board to get you on board. β
Speaking of this, he stopped, and the implication was nothing more than to sue SΓΉ Rich. They just want to humiliate you, the other way. Give back to him.
Li Qi snorted: "Childish! Isn't it 50,000? As soon as he said a beginning, he paused, frowned, and said, "Fifty thousand is not a lot!" β
Qin Hui nodded and said: "Obviously, they decided on this number after discussion, although the envoys of the rest of the countries also brought a lot of money, but it belonged to their country, and it was used to buy goods from my Great Song Dynasty, not their own." 50,000 guan is by no means a small amount, and no one dares to embezzle it privately, and Da Shi is different from Byzantium, almost all of them are nobles from their country, and some of them have money, and they have brought enough money this time, so they will not care about this money at all. β
Li Qi snorted and said: "Although there are many rich people in my big Song Dynasty, there are many people who can take out 50,000 guan, but no one dares to take 50,000 guan to the gambling table." β
Qin Hui said: "The envoys of other countries don't go, but they also said it in the past, but after all, this happened in my Great Song Dynasty, if no one in my Great Song Dynasty dared to fight, wouldn't it be to tell the people of other countries, my Great Song Dynasty is not as good as them, and their trick is ruthless enough." β
For this matter, he did not remind Li Qi once, but Li Qi ignored it and didn't care at all, and he still complained a little bit about Li Qi in his heart.
Li Qi nodded and said, "Yes! In the end, the court will still come forward, then. β
Qin Hui said: "Only the adults are out." β
Li Qi thought for a while, shook his head and said: "That's not necessarily, the Hong family, Taiwei, Taishi, British Duke, Guangyang Junwang and others all have this strength, and they are all face-loving people." In fact, if you want to talk about loving face, who in the world can compare to my big song. Hehe, you still underestimate them, and they are not just retaliating by doing this. β
There were quite a few Jews among the Byzantine and Great Food merchants, and their minds were spinning rapidly, and Richie was more or less apprehensive when facing them.
Qin Hui was curious: "Could it be that they have another purpose?" β
Li Qi said: "This is a show. β
Qin Hui was puzzled: "A show? β
Li Qi nodded, said: "In fact, trading can be divided into stages, in the initial stage of trading, you must shout, let more people know you, if you are unknown, then it will fail, but when your business reaches a certain scale, there will be peers to pay attention to you at the beginning, at this time you must be low-key, which is the so-called muffled to make a fortune." However, when you have considerable strength, at this time others will not dare to despise you, let alone rashly deal with you, you can begin to show your strong strength, only the stronger your strength, the more afraid others will be of you, and you can also attract more partners, as for the last stage, that is, anything in your heart can not set off a little wave, can talk and laugh, the tree is gone. β
Qin Hui groaned slightly, and said, "What do you mean that your lord is using this to promote themselves, so that I can seek more cooperation in the Great Song Dynasty?" "But I thought in my heart, if this is the case for business, why not be the case for officials?
Li Qi nodded and said, "How did the people react to this?" β
"Everybody's talking about it now."
"That means he's half the battle, and then it's up to who can go up and help them finish the play."
Right now. Mrs. Qin suddenly walked in and said with a curious expression, "Li Qi." You're fine here, what does this invitation mean? As she spoke, she handed over an invitation.
Li Qi was stunned for a while, took a look, and then smiled bitterly: "It seems that they are really coming for me." β
It turned out that this invitation was an invitation from the Great Food Envoy to Madame Qin to participate in the gambling game. Since they were able to find Mrs. Qin, it was impossible not to know that the real proprietor of the Drunken Immortal Residence was Li Qi, but the invitation letter did not mention Li Qi, which was obviously intentional.
Mrs. Qin frowned and said, "Coming at you?" This big food merchant has only been in the capital for a few days. You've messed with them. β
Worst! I forgot that there is another woman here who is most afraid of trouble. Li Qi rolled his eyes and said in a flicker: "Madam, how can you think so, and you are not afraid to sue you, these businessmen have repeatedly tried to bribe me, but I have sternly refused, and now they have figured out that guΓ² gambling deliberately loses money to me." The means are extremely clever and unguardable, but fortunately I am clever enough to see through their tricks at a glance, but they are persevering, in fact, they want to invite me. β
Qin Hui listened. admired Li Qi is Wufu to the ground, this lie is made up, he has the urge to believe it, it's too perfect, but he has seen Li Qi accept bribes countless times before. It's hard to believe that Richie will have a high spirit.
Mrs. Qin has never asked about these things, but she is not suspicious. He nodded and said, "Since that's the case, then you still don't go subtle, so as not to have more twists and turns." β
Li Qi immediately assured: "You still need to say this, of course I won't give them a chance for such a crime!" β
Mrs. Qin saw that Li Qi replied decisively, and she didn't doubt it, and saw that Qin Hui was also there, so she didn't say much, and said, "Missing!" And he left.
As soon as she went out with her front foot, Qin Hui immediately asked, "My lord, are you really not going to go?" β
Sweat! Lao Tzu is not the god of gambling, this thing is very good at luck, and Lao Tzu generally does not dare to be interested in uncertain business. Li Qi smiled: "Of course I won't go, I won't go to them." Moreover, 50,000 is really not a small amount, and I have been very tight lately, so I don't go, I don't go. By the way, you've been talking about it for so long, and you haven't said what kind of gambling method they are? β
"Uh, supposedly stud!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard an angry snort outside the door, and heard another person say: "How can this be reasonable, how can this be reasonable!" β
Li Qi couldn't help but glance at Qin Hui.
After a while, I saw a group of people walking outside, the first three were Zhao Huan, Gao Yu, Bai Shizhong, followed by Hong Bajin, Geng Nanzhong and others. It was Gao Yu who spoke just now, who could make Brother Yu angry like this, in today's world, Li Qi has also seen Gao Ya have this ability.
"Those brown-haired monkeys are really deceitful."
Gao Yu didn't care about Zhao Huan's presence, and as soon as he came in, he sat on the seat on the right, slapped the table and said angrily. Zhao Huan also sat on the left in a grand manner, but his face was not too good-looking.
Brown-haired monkeys? It's a bit of a novelty. Li Qi had already gotten up and given way, stood aside, and asked cautiously, "Captain, what happened?" β
Gao Yu glanced at him angrily and said, "This is all because of you, and you still come to ask me?" β
Is it also because of the gambling game? Li Qi pretended not to know: "Because of me? What do you mean by this? β
Qin Hui almost didn't laugh out loud when he heard it, just finished speaking, and you are pretending to be stupid again.
Bai Shizhong frowned and said, "Li Qi, do you really don't know, or don't you know." β
Li Qi shook his head and said with a look of ignorance: "Old man, I really don't know. β
Gao Yu glanced at him suspiciously, his eyes suddenly glanced to the side, his eyes were so rolling that he couldn't get down, and he waved his hand and said, "Qin Hui, what happened to you to tell him?" β
Qin Hui sighed, looked left and right, and sweat flowed out.
It's clear that Brother Yu is yin against him, if he says it, wouldn't it be to expose Li Qi's lies.
Gao Yu hummed unhappily.
The left is the boss, the right is the boss's boss, the little brother is difficult to do! No matter how smart Qin Hui is, in the face of this situation, he still can't help but feel a little overwhelmed, and he groaned for a while, and then said: "My lord, I think what the lower official said may be about the Great Food Envoy setting up a gambling game. β
This guy is really smart. Li Qi was secretly happy in his heart, and he was surprised: "Really? Captain, that's what you're talking about? β
The two of them sang and harmonized, and Gao Yu was really helpless.
Zhao Huan didn't care, looked at Li Qi with a smile in his eyes, and said, "So, do you know about this?" β
Li Qi nodded and said, "I've heard a little." β
Zhao Huan said: "Then how are you going to deal with it?" β
"Cope?" Li Qi said blankly: "What response?" β
"Aren't you going to take part in this gamble?"
Li Qi said honestly: "I don't have such a plan!" Just now I told my wife that I wouldn't go. β
Zhao Huan was surprised: "Aren't you going?" β
"Don't go!"
"Why?"
Li Qi put his hands together and said frankly: "I don't have so much money!" β
