Happy Little Scholar

Xiaohuan came in with a blushing face and brought tea. After taking a look at Li Yi, he quickly left.

There's something wrong with the little maid today. I don't know what's going on in her head. It's time for her to be rebellious at the age of sixteen. To be on the safe side, she'll have to ask her questions later. Li Yi thought in his mind and looked back at Li Xuan and said: "Tell me, what's the big deal?"

"Luochuan Wang family, have you heard of it?" Li Xuan looked at him and asked.

Li Yi thought about it carefully, then shook his head: "The Wang family in Luochuan has not heard of it, but Luochuan Apple has heard of it."

In his impression, Luochuan is the hometown of apples. Luochuan apples have beautiful fruit shapes, bright colors, crisp and dense flesh, and good color and fragrance...

Of course, this Luochuan is not another Luochuan, but I don’t know what this Wang family in Luochuan is. Did he start his business by selling apples?

Li Xuan rubbed his eyebrows and said, "The Wang family of Luochuan is the family of the imperial concubine."

"Is it that Wang family?" Li Yi looked at him and asked.

"It's the Wang family." Li Xuan nodded.

Li Yi naturally knew about the Wang family to which the imperial concubine belonged, but no one had ever mentioned to him what the Wang family and Apple had to do with Luochuan. Generally speaking, if a family can be preceded by a certain county, then It's really amazing.

Just like the Cui family, they have a very high prestige among the people and scholars. Their own strength is not obvious. There are no soldiers or soldiers in the family, but their influence is huge. On the one-third of an acre of their own land, they are like a local emperor. existence, with a little encouragement, the world of Lao Li's family will be in chaos, and even the royal family will have to give face.

Naturally, Li Yi had heard of this Wang family.

It is a family similar to the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Although it was not completely eliminated in the course of history, after more than a hundred years of changes in the situation, the existing power is much weaker than those powerful families in the previous life. However, It should not be underestimated either.

The Wang family is a relatively unique existence among these families.

There is only one reason, money!

Although opportunistic businessmen are despised by the upper class, they are fools if they don’t make money without making money. Well-known families also need to eat. Besides, having enough food is not just what they pursue. They look down on businessmen on the surface, but secretly use various means to make money. No less.

But among these wealthy families, the Wang family is the only one who does business openly and to this extent.

No one knows how much money the Wang family has. They only know that their shops are open in almost all states and counties in Jingguo, and they own the largest chamber of commerce in Jingguo. If you just throw a little money at it, you can kill a lot of people. There are a lot of people who claim to be wealthy businessmen.

Even though the Li family is not short of money now, it is still far from being able to compare with such a behemoth.

If you have money, you have to keep a low profile.

This law does not apply to future generations, but it does apply here.

Such a, no, a big fat sheep attracts attention wherever it goes.

Money is needed to run the country, and money is also needed for rebellion. With the Wang family's money, there is an economic foundation for upper-level construction.

Of course, whether you want to rebel or govern the country, you can't openly rob it, as that will not be popular with the people. What's more, the Wang family is not a soft persimmon. In addition, the Wang family has always clung to the thigh of the royal family. If the country is in trouble, it will suffer disasters. , the first to take the lead in donating money, actively exerting the influence of the family, and helping to implement the new decrees of the court within the sphere of influence. He is simply a role model for the family and the staunchest ally of the old emperor.

This is also the main reason why the King of Shu always wants to get involved with the Wang family. Marriage between big families is not just about the two younger generations seeing eye to eye. They consider more political factors. Marriage means taking sides. If the King of Shu marries a direct descendant of the Wang family, Female, it means that the Wang family has stood behind the King of Shu. With the leaders of the Cui family and the Wang family, the position of the East Palace cannot be more stable.

Speaking of the fact that there is a royal family behind the King of Shu, the Cui family is married to the Wang family, which can be said to be a good match. Unfortunately, after picking the peach for a long time, he failed to pick it, but someone stepped in and took the lead. The dream of the King of Shu to win over the Wang family was shattered. , and from then on Li Xuan was regarded as a thorn in the flesh...

Li Yi glanced at Li Xuan, but he still hadn't figured out what the Wang family wanted in this guy.

After all, the Wang family is also a wealthy family, so it stands to reason that their vision should not be bad, but I have to say that the prince’s father’s vision for choosing a son-in-law is really not very good...

"Did your father-in-law ask you to come?" Li Yi looked at him and asked.

A hint of embarrassment appeared on Li Xuan's face, and he said: "The business of spirits, soaps, and perfumes has almost swept Kyoto this year, but we don't have enough human and financial resources to expand to other places. The Wang family wants to Seeking cooperation, my father-in-law personally came to the Prince's Mansion two days ago..."

The embarrassment on Li Xuan's face became even stronger. At certain times, his face was still a bit thin, especially when he asked for help, it was difficult to speak.

Li Yi probably understood what he meant. It was just that the Wang family also took a fancy to this big cake and wanted to come in and get a share of it.

The profits here are so huge. Although my family now has numerous shops covering various industries, the bulk of the profits still lie in these few businesses.

The Wang family's business is so big, how could it be that they don't have this kind of vision? It's not surprising that they have taken a fancy to these few businesses.

Of course, this is indeed a win-win situation for both parties.

Due to the lack of human, material and financial resources, the business cooperation between Li Yi, Li Xuan and Her Royal Highness the Princess will only be able to occupy the Kyoto market if it dies.

Although the Wang family has the ability, they lack core technology, which is the most critical. Without Li Yi's consent, they can't intervene at all.

Cooperating with the Wang family, the market has been expanded, and the money will definitely flow into the family in the future. Miss Liu Er is not afraid of spending money no matter how much she spends. Let alone spending 1,000 taels in three days, spending 10,000 taels in three days - spending 10,000 taels in three days will make her butt swollen.

There are many places to spend money in the future, so that we can also take out money to do more things.

In addition, it has also established a bond of interest with the Wang family. This is more solid than the connection brought by marriage between families.

Of course, if the prince's wife has any sisters with decent looks, the two families will marry again, adding another layer of bond on top of the interests, which is naturally impossible to consider.

This matter is not bad for the family, not to mention that Li Xuan asked, as long as it does not involve the bottom line, he will not refuse.

After all, when he beat the King of Shu, there is only one person in the whole Jing Kingdom who would step forward to add a few kicks instead of stopping him.

Li Yi nodded and said, "If you have time in the next two days, let the Wang family send someone to discuss the specific cooperation matters."

Li Xuan thought for a while and said, "You don't have to consider me about the Wang family's affairs. It's what it should be."

He weighed it in his mind for a long time and finally made a decision.

"Okay, then let them not send anyone." Li Yi said very straightforwardly.

"——"

"Pretend I didn't say anything." Li Xuan stood up, the guilt in his heart disappeared without a trace, and he walked out, "I will bring the Wang family here tomorrow."

"Wait a minute." Li Yi stopped him in time.

Li Xuan stepped out of the door with one foot, and the other foot was ready to step out at any time.

"Did the Wang family in Luochuan sell apples before?" Li Yi looked at him and asked with great curiosity.
