Chapter 186 Departing From Mang Mountain
"I've come here, can I still refuse!" Li Xian squinted at He Zhiguo. After Li Xian made public his theories in the Great Xia Kingdom, such things were already unavoidable.
There was no embarrassment in He Zhiguo, he just took the initiative to pour tea for Li Xian; then the two parties agreed that the day after tomorrow, His Majesty the Emperor of Qi State would prepare to welcome Li Xian with state ceremonies, and Li Xian would be invited to the Qi State Palace to explain to all officials.
This is a very grand etiquette, and Li Xian was greeted almost as an emperor, and Li Xian couldn't refuse even more.
However, Li Xian has not been idle these days, and the businessmen of Qi State have come to ask for advice; then... let's give another public speech! Now that he had already given a speech, Li Xian was even more generous. He opened the door of the building directly, and began to explain to the crowd of people from Qi.
After this explanation, Li Xian once again gained a great fortune, and the newly consolidated early stage of the golden elixir seems to be sprinting towards the middle stage of the golden elixir.
Two days passed in a blink of an eye, and early in the morning, a mighty guard of honor came to the front of the building, and what was carried at the front of the team turned out to be eight large sedan chairs—look at the decorations on it, which is very interesting. It may be the car of the emperor of Qi.
"It's grand enough!" Li Xian sighed slightly.
Xu Ren smiled slightly, "It's nothing, the emperor of Qi State gave such a grand etiquette, the young master can't hide his clumsiness, at least he can't be worse than the speech made by the Great Xia Kingdom back then. It's best to be a little more diligent. Don't stay here Bad reputation."
Li Xian nodded slightly, knowing how to do it naturally.
There were countless crowds of onlookers on both sides of the street, and even on the roof, there were a large number of people watching. Obviously, such a grand guard of honor is rare even in Qi.
Sitting in the eight-carried sedan chair, Li Xian looked at the decoration inside, nothing but surprise. Inside, there were items such as mirrors, colored lanterns, as well as golden elixir-level tiger skins and deerskins.
Needless to say, the skins and furs of Jindan stage monsters are indescribably precious. And the price of the mirrors sold here is almost ten times or dozens of times that of the Great Xia Kingdom - don't underestimate the greed of the merchants. Although Li Xian has formulated a strategy of unifying prices, it is only limited to the shops directly under the Brilliant Star Group. And this thing has always been in short supply, and businessmen will naturally not let go of such a good opportunity.
Sitting in such a big sedan chair, Li Xian felt drowsy, it was so comfortable. There are not only monster furs in it, but more importantly, these monster furs all depict formations. Many of the formations are Golden Core stage formations!
Looking carefully at these formations, Li Xian had to admit that the way to describe the formations was much better than the existing formations in the Brilliant Star Group. Although there are many talents among the people, there is also no shortage of talents in the palace; it can even be said that top talents are often in the palace.
Swaying all the way, as if floating in the clouds, suddenly stopped unknowingly, and an ethereal voice came from outside: "Young Master Li, we're here."
Only then did Li Xian reluctantly leave the emperor's car, and fell from the clouds to the ground.
When he looked up, he found that he had already arrived at the palace hall. This country of Qi was enough to save face, and even lifted Li Xian directly to the front of Chengtian Hall, which is where the usual court meeting is.
This made Li Xian a little restrained, and under the gaze of countless eyes around him, he slowly came to the court hall of Qi State, and saw the supreme and majestic Emperor of Qi State.
Compared with the dying emperor of the Great Xia Kingdom, the emperor of the Qi Kingdom has the majesty of a heavenly emperor; moreover, Li Xian has a faint feeling that this emperor must have the cultivation base of the Nascent Soul Stage! This point threw the emperor of the Great Xia Kingdom far away from the road for several days.
Sure enough, the emperor of a prosperous country and the emperor of a country that is about to die are not ordinary.
After tidying up his clothes, Li Xian paid a visit in strict accordance with diplomatic etiquette: "Foreign minister Li Xian, I have met the great emperor of Qi. May the great emperor live as long as the heavens."
The emperor of Qi State was unsmiling and nodded slightly, "Li Xian, I am very grateful to you for bringing the idea of rejuvenating the country through industry and commerce. Come and give me a seat."
Soon some guards moved out the throne, which was a smaller golden throne, which was actually placed beside His Majesty the Emperor, only one step lower than the throne.
Li Xian expressed that he was under a lot of pressure, sitting on the left hand side of the emperor, facing all the officials almost head-on, he was like half an emperor. It can be seen that the Qi emperor not only treats Li Xian with national courtesy, but also treats Li Xian as a real guest. But doing so made Li Xian embarrassed to hide his clumsiness.
Xu Ren quickly pulled Li Xian who was still in a daze, Li Xian could only sigh, thanked the emperor of Qi, and went straight to the throne and sat down. Sitting on a high place and looking down, even if Li Xian is not the emperor, at this moment there is a feeling of being high above and looking down on the common people.
Above the main hall, there was a moment of silence.
Li Xian clasped his fists in embarrassment: "My lords, the boy has overstepped. After a few speeches, I organized the idea of rejuvenating the country through industry and commerce into three parts. The first part is the pros and cons of business; the second part is the pros and cons of industry; Three parts, combining business and industry.
Roughly speaking, a country cannot do without commerce, and this chokes off the country's prosperity. However, commercial development should not be allowed too much, otherwise the people will be in dire straits; it is not uncommon for everyone to hoard food and grass during disaster years.
As for industry, it is the in-depth development of agriculture. The iron tools for cultivating the land need to be smelted; the paper for copying exercises needs to be made. This is an essential national pillar.
However, industry consumes a lot of money. If there is no necessary supplement, the industry cannot be strong. This requires the combination of industry and commerce. This is the only way. Everyone can call industry a different kind of land, and businessmen a different kind of farmer.
specific……"
Next, Li Xian began to analyze in depth; and the surrounding ministers, and even His Majesty the Emperor of Qi, would ask some questions from time to time. Sometimes, some questions are really tricky, and many times, Li Xian also has to be honest-I haven't figured this out yet.
If you don't understand, you don't understand. If you don't know how to pretend to understand, you will only make fun of it. On the contrary, Li Xian's aboveboard and sincere attitude has won widespread respect.
This discussion lasted for more than three days, and the officials of Qi State almost took out Li Xian's old background; in the end, in addition to the development of science, Li Xian even talked about-making businessmen responsible Things like military support. However, this point was briefly discussed and passed away. The officials of Qi State obviously still have a lot of distrust of businessmen.
On the fourth day, Li Xian finally relaxed, and then Li Xian discovered the problem—co-authored three days of explanations, but he didn't get any luck! Is it the duplicity of the senior officials? Or did the emperor of Qi cut off these luck paths? unknown. But Li Xian came to a conclusion-officials are iron cocks. Young master, I have been talking earnestly for three days, but you have no real gratitude at all.
On the afternoon of the fourth day, Li Xian finally left the imperial capital of the Qi Kingdom, ready to go to the real goal this time - Mount Mang!
In short, the farewell scene was very lively, but hundreds of people didn't say a word of truth.
Master, I remember you!
The only benefit Li Xian got was that the emperor of Qi State guaranteed that there would be no problems when he went to Mang Mountain and returned.
