After all, the national flag is different from ordinary commodities. It focuses on the spiritual level rather than a simple piece of cloth. Therefore, whether it is good or bad depends on people, so publicity becomes particularly important. Li Qi

This time, he also spent a lot of money and created a very large page for the flag country to vigorously promote his Rising Sun Flag.

He also took this opportunity to carry out a large-scale revision of the Song Dynasty Times Weekly, cutting off two-thirds of the story pages at once, scrapping all the stories that had little gain, leaving only two serialized and

An article layout, as for the extra space, he used it to expand the economic section, add a food column, and some advertising columns.

As a businessman, making money is his top priority. He has given up a large part of his profits to dealers. If there is no advertising, where will the income come from? After all, Taishi College can be a place to burn money.

However, so far, he has not dared to publish some pages about politics. After all, it is really walking a tightrope, and he may even lose his life if he doesn't do it.

Three days later, news about the national flag came overwhelmingly, covering the entire Tokyo in an instant. The attention finally surpassed that of The Legend of the Condor Heroes, becoming the hottest topic inside and outside the capital.

Since it is a hot topic, there will naturally be mixed opinions, with some opposing and some agreeing. However, this is definitely a good phenomenon for the promotion of the national flag, and Li Qi is very happy to see this kind of scene.

In addition, Zhou Family Silk Shop, Zuixianju Cake House and Hongwan Gambling House also became the first batch of advertisements in the Song Dynasty Times Magazine. Of course, they all paid advertising fees. Even Zuixianju was no exception.

.

The effect of this advertisement will directly affect the future revenue of Song Dynasty Times. Li Qi also attaches great importance to it.

In the early morning, Li Qi and Ma Qiao came to Zuixianju for morning tea. Almost every guest inside had a newspaper. While eating breakfast, they were paying attention to what news there was today. It was very comfortable.

In fact, all the main stores in Tokyo now offer morning tea, and new pastries are emerging one after another. They have also imitated Zuixianju and began to regularly purchase the Song Dynasty Times and provide it to their guests.

Some smart businessmen even hired people to teach them about vulture shooting, and business was naturally very good.

"Good morning, Master Li."

As soon as Li Qi entered, the guests stood up to say hello. Although Li Qi was now a third-grade official, these guests still liked to call him Master Li. This seemed to have become his exclusive title, just like the layman Dongpo.

.

Li Qi bowed his hands to everyone, and then walked upstairs.

Aunt Cao quickly came over and said with a smile on her face: "Proprietor, you are here."

What Li Qi admires most about Aunt Cao is that she never lacks a smile on her face. She seems to be born to be a good person in the service industry, hehe said: "How is the business recently?"

Aunt Cao smiled and said: "It can't be better. Oh, luckily the proprietor was willing to accept me in the first place---."

"How many times have I told you, can you please stop using the word 'receive'? It's too easy for people to misunderstand. You can use 'hire' instead." Li Qi shook his head helplessly and said, "Give it to me.

A basket of steamed buns and a pot of milk tea. Oh, are there any private rooms?"

"No more. But Madam is here."

"lady?"

Li Qi was stunned and said: "Is Madam alone?"

"There are some people, but I don't know them."

"No. Is there anyone in the capital you don't know?"

Aunt Cao laughed and did not answer.

"In which private room are they?"

"Heaven and Earth."

"Okay, you go."

Li Qi said to Ma Qiao: "Go to the kitchen to find your junior sister to fill your stomach. I will send someone to call you later."

Since the cake shop has not yet opened, Lu Meimei still helps here in the morning.

Ma Qiao was overjoyed, agreed, and hurried down.

Li Qi came to the door and heard constant laughter from men and women inside. He was puzzled. When did Madam know how to communicate? He hesitated for a moment before knocking on the door.

"who is it?"

Mrs. Qin's voice came from inside.

"It's me, Li Qi."

"come in."

Li Qi opened the door and walked in. He saw that the room was full of people. Four women, including three young women and one woman. This lady was really Mrs. Qin's mother. The three men were all in their thirties.

, all dressed as talented men, Li Qi only recognized one of them, that was Zheng Yi, the second brother Zheng.

Except for Mrs. Wang, the rest of the people are all about the same age, and they seem to be old friends from the past.

Sweating! Is it so lively? Is there a party? This damn Aunt Cao, even the proprietor’s wife knows her, she can’t be playing tricks on me on purpose. Li Qi suddenly became stupid, he originally just wanted to find a seat and have something to eat.

It would be great if he could see beautiful women again, but if he knew that Mrs. Wang and Zheng Yi were there, he would definitely not come to join in the fun.

"Zheng Yi has met Doctor Li."

When those people saw Li Qi coming, except for Mrs. Qin and her daughter, everyone stood up and bowed with their hands in hand. Now Li Qi's status is no longer the same as before.

Li Qi bowed his hand and returned the salute, first smiled at Zheng Yi, and then said to Mrs. Wang with an embarrassed look on his face: "Auntie, you are here too."

Mrs. Wang smiled lightly and said, "I've been here several times, but this is the first time I've met you here. Are you okay?"

"Uh, it's okay."

Li Qi shook his head and said, "I heard earlier that Madam was here, so I wanted to come over and say hello. I'd be really sorry if I disturbed you all."

Zheng Yi smiled and said: "Where, where, we were just talking about Doctor Li's rising sun flag. Doctor Li, please sit down quickly."

Sweat! If I, a cook, have anything to talk about with you literary giants, I might as well fool Gao Yanei. Li Qi waved his hand in a hurry and said: "No, no, I'm just here to take a look."

Mrs. Qin suddenly stood up and said, "You probably haven't had breakfast yet, so let's eat together."

Swish swish swish.

The rest of the people looked at Li Qi slightly nervously.

Mrs. Wang frowned slightly.

Damn it! Why are you looking at me like this? I am a very sensible person. Li Qi smiled and said: "Thank you madam for your kindness. But I still have to rush to deal with some things. I just need to grab something to eat on the road."

Mrs. Wang nodded and said, "Official matters are important. Then we won't delay your work."

Mrs. Qin glanced at her mother slightly and frowned slightly.

Li Qi looked slightly embarrassed, but it only happened for a moment, and then he smiled and said: "Okay, okay, you eat slowly, I will treat you to this meal, you are welcome. I will leave first. Take my leave."

He said and quickly turned his back and left.

In fact, he was really busy today. Bai Shizhong told him yesterday that all the prefects had arrived and asked them to implement the bird's nest matter as soon as possible, so he had to rush to the government office later.

Li Qi was about to go downstairs to the backyard to have breakfast when suddenly a man came behind him and bowed: "Sir, my master has invited you."

Li Qi turned around and looked, and said with a smile: "Aren't you Feng Feng?"

This person is Bai Shizhong's guard, Feng Feng.

Feng Feng was surprised to see that Li Qi still remembered him. He nodded and said, "My lord has a really good memory. I still remember the villain."

"Thanks to your parents for choosing the name well." Li Qi chuckled and asked, "Uncle Bai is here too?"

"Yeah. I just arrived not long ago."

"Then take me there quickly."

"My lord please."

Feng Feng took Li Qi to Pingbu Qingyun's private room, where he saw Bai Shizhong sitting alone reading a newspaper.

When Bai Shizhong saw Li Qi coming, he put down the newspaper and said, "You're here. Sit down."

Li Qi sat next to Bai Shizhong as he said and said with a smile: "Uncle is here. Why didn't he inform my nephew, so my nephew should order someone to entertain his uncle well." After all, this is his future father-in-law, so he must be treated differently.

Bai Shizhong said angrily: "I'm here to guard you today so that you won't find anyone when you arrive. Don't forget that you have to meet those who know the state today."

Sweat! Is this necessary? Li Qi said sarcastically: "Uncle's words are serious. How dare I forget such a big thing?"

Bai Shizhong hummed: "How dare you forget? How many times have you forgotten? What have you done since you became the official official? Just talk about your government office. You only went there once, and it was all me.

People are taking care of it, you---it really pisses me off."

Li Qi knew that he was in the wrong, so he quickly poured tea and admitted his mistake, and said with a smile: "Uncle, calm down, it is indeed my nephew who did something wrong."

"As long as you know."

Bai Shizhong snorted angrily and asked again: "How are you preparing for today? I promised you in advance that I can't help you today."

Li Qi smiled and said: "Uncle, don't worry, I've made everything ready, there won't be any problems."

"That's good."

Bai Shizhong nodded and said, "You haven't eaten yet, have you?"

"Um."

"Then let's eat here. Let's go together after dinner. I guess you don't know any of those governors."

Li Qi hurriedly said: "I know one, that is Zhao Mingcheng, the magistrate of Laizhou."

Bai Shizhong let out an ooh and said, "Do you know Zhao Mingcheng?"
