After deducing the thoughts of the head of the five surnamed families, Li Chengqian burst out laughing. There is no doubt that they can indeed benefit from such actions, relying on the family's heritage and prestige, it is no problem to support a channel for the circulation of money. But how long can an organization that only collects money and does not bring benefits to others survive in front of the bank?

Yes, the bank will charge a handling fee for remote deposits and withdrawals, but the most important thing is that you can benefit from keeping the money in the bank, and as long as you are an old customer of the bank, you can easily take out a loan without going through strict review, relieving the pressure on hand. Compared with the bank, the organization of the five surnames will only laugh and be generous.

What's more, since ancient times, brothers have not been able to have a good partnership, let alone five different surnames and seven different families. When a certain family enjoys a short period of wealth and indulges in it, infighting is inevitable. In the past, I always felt that there was no excuse to start, but now people are going to die by themselves, who can blame?

"Just leave it alone, if we deal with it, maybe someone will say it's suppression. Lao Li, do you think the bank is successful now? You must know that these are only the foundation, in the future, if conditions permit, the bank will continue to develop downward, when the development to a county or even a large village has one, it is the end.

Compared with us, how can the five surnames be? Break away from their ancestral land and build a courtyard somewhere else? Don't be funny, it's a problem for them to take this step, and even if they take this step, if they don't fight after that, the sun will rise in the west. ”

Li Dahai arched his hands to listen to the prince's analysis, and he found that the prince's vision of some things was simply vicious, and almost everyone under him was wary of this matter, although he could see it, but he was also a little worried. In the end, it is not as atmospheric as the prince, and he can directly ignore the opponent's moves.

"You came just in time today, tell Lao Jin, inform all the restaurants in Chang'an, Lone is estimated to be getting married soon, and on the day of the wedding, Lone wants to feast in Chang'an, as long as you sing a salute to the East Palace, whether it is a commoner or a beggar, you can be seated, you don't have to care about the cost, as long as the whole city can be happy that day!"

"The big feast Chang'an...."

Li Dahai wanted to persuade him, but thinking of the strong financial resources of the East Palace now, he suddenly shut up again. It seems that he is still not used to his current identity, and it was difficult to imagine such a large-scale banquet before, but now it is the East Palace that wants to feast in Chang'an, and it really doesn't cost a few dollars.

"The old slave knows, and he will definitely be able to get things done soon!"

After answering the order, Li Dahai laughed, finally the prince has arrived on this day, and he feels happy when he thinks that his grandson can also work for the prince's children in the future. Inheritance has always been the most important thing, and it is simply an accident for a family to have no direct descendants in the old age of the old owner.

Li Chengqian couldn't figure out why everyone who got the news laughed so happily when he was obviously married. But no matter what, he still can't resist the idea of the queen's wife, so if he can't resist, then endure it.

Just returned to the East Palace, he received a message from the queen, Yuan Tiangang calculated, and felt that the third day of the seventh month was an auspicious day for the zodiac, which was the most suitable for marriage.

Although it is only April now, everything that should be prepared has to be prepared, and three months seems to be abundant, but in fact it is not very sufficient.

As a result, the Internal Affairs Office was completely busy, and the palace maids and eunuchs who were procured were coming in and out endlessly, and even Li Chengqian was curious about how many materials could be used for a wedding?

Doubts are doubts, but they don't make do with it, directing the palace maids and eunuchs to run around is what the queen enjoys the most, she waited for more than ten years to wait for such a day, and naturally invested unimaginable energy.

Li Chengqian, who had been waiting silently, finally received an assignment from the queen's wife, well, to attend the engagement banquet.

It is necessary to get engaged before getting married, this is the etiquette, even if it is in a hurry. So, naturally, the palace received a large number of gifts. The prince is engaged, and the ministers are going to give gifts anyway.

It was also at the banquet that Li Chengqian officially met his "father-in-law" for the first time-Su Yan.

As a traditional literati, although Su Jian has fantasized countless times, he is still at a loss when he really lives with the emperor and ministers, and when he is still a guest. No matter who toasted, they drank it all sincerely, and even though they were not strong drinks, they still got drunk in a short time.

Looking at Su Kang, who was carried down, the first emperor did not think it was angry, but laughed and allowed him to leave first. When he set the selection range of the crown princess, he had this in mind. When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was dying, he had to take Mrs. Gou Ge away, just because he was worried about the dictatorship of his relatives, and similarly, Datang should also be vigilant about this problem. There is no doubt that the royal family is the fertile soil under the big trees of the nobles, and with the nourishment of the royal family, they can quickly develop, and the hegemonic side, or even, develop to the extent that they want to replace it.

The eldest grandson's family is a good example, obviously the eldest grandson Wuji is just a household secretary, but in the court, as long as he participates in the court politics, others don't dare to fight too much. Li Shimin felt that he was tired of friendship, and he couldn't do anything to the eldest grandson's family, so he could only give the prince a stop from this scourge.

A person like Su Yan, who has no family foundation and only a small official position, although he will be promoted because of this, it will not reach the point of power. is just a good old man, and an official position such as assassination is enough to send it away. When the prince's child was also born, the power of the grandfather's family wanted to rise up, and it was difficult to reach the sky.

"Su Yan is a respectful person, I accidentally let him be an assassin, what do you think?"

Li Chengqian didn't expect the emperor to ask what he thought, so he could only arch his hand and say: "Father Emperor Mingjian, those who are officials outside the country are envious of Beijing officials, and those who are officials in Chang'an, especially those whose functions are not heavy, will feel that their abilities cannot be used to govern the country and the people, and they are extremely sorry." Erchen felt that the external release would be in line with Taishan's mind. ”

Li Shimin nodded: "Then let's release the history of thorns, Taizhou is a good place, since you want to develop shipping, Taizhou will definitely be an important place, give it to him, not only can you rest assured, but also drive the Su family to become stronger, it is the best of both worlds." ”

Since they have become in-laws, they should be treated preferentially, and it is impossible to give them too many opportunities in terms of status, so it is also a good choice to compensate for it in terms of money.

Although he wanted to refuse, thinking of the situation of the Su family, Li Chengqian could only agree.

In fact, the more people you work with, the better you don't know, because no matter the rewards and punishments, you can go on normally, but when you mix with old acquaintances with relatives, it is always easy to have problems. You know, the people who can make trouble in the family industry the most are relatives.

But after thinking about it, in the end, I have to give the benefits to my father-in-law if I take the pearl of other people's palms for myself.

After drinking a glass of grape wine, Li Chengqian asked curiously: "Father, what kind of rules are the concubines in the palace?" When the crown princess wants to feast guests, what about the concubine? ”

Li Shimin squinted at Li Chengqian and said: "What kind of banquet is held by the concubine, you see that when a serious person takes a concubine, the most he can do is to ask a few close people to eat and drink together, how can there be a lot of noise." The wedding is due to your mother, so just wait for it honestly. ”

Gotcha, I've hit a wall.

Although he guessed it, Li Chengqian still wanted to confirm it.

In the final analysis, the so-called crown princess concubine is actually similar to the treatment of concubines from commoners. As for the treatment of concubines, it may be better to meet a good family, but if not, it may not be much different from the status of a servant. When the concubine was accepted, even if the East Palace held a banquet alone, it would not be possible, because he couldn't afford to lose this person, if the East Palace dared to do this, it would be strange that those imperial historians didn't come to make a big fuss.

There is no need to block himself from things that he really can't resist, and Li Chengqian has no choice but to give up this idea.

On the emperor's table is the gift list received today, which is very thick, but Li Chengqian knows that these things have nothing to do with him, and it is estimated that only on the day of the wedding can be regarded as the East Palace. However, the small half of them are just staying in the warehouse for a period of time, like the major princes and the major princes' mansions, when they hold big weddings and birthdays, the East Palace has to return the gift.

The banquet lasted until midnight, although he drank wine, Li Chengqian was still drunk, and when he returned to the East Palace, he couldn't bear it, so he fell asleep.

Most of the weddings during the Tang Dynasty inherited the customs of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, but the royal weddings were still different from the commoners, and they were extremely simplified versions. The first is to be hired, as long as the head of internal affairs sends it over with a dowry gift. As for the invitation period, there is no need to find a respectable person to come to the door with a wild goose, but to choose the date from the palace.

The most surprising thing for Li Chengqian was that he didn't need to marry the bride, as long as Jin Wuwei was dispatched to escort the crown princess into the palace.

"Jin Wuwei? How do you lead the team? Isn't that too hasty? ”

As soon as he thought of Chang He, Li Chengqian felt that the price had dropped.

The eldest grandson is writing invitations to the major wives, and the marriage of the prince is a major event, not only the emperor wants to feast the ministers, but the queen also wants to feast the wives of the ministers.

Hearing Li Chengqian's words, the eldest grandson put down his pen and said: "Jin Wuwei is not only responsible for the defense of the palace, but also occasionally responsible for the travel of the Son of Heaven, what happened to them escorting the Su family into the palace?" If you feel that it is inappropriate, you can also let your relatives go out to greet you, and the nature is the same. If you want to, it's not a big deal to change the general who leads the team. ”

After speaking, the eldest grandson continued to pick up the pen and write, and it was the same for this kind of thing to be handed over to the next person, but the eldest grandson, who was full of interest, was unwilling to fake this kind of thing to others. She rarely had to write with her own pen this year, which was where the interest came.

Don't disturb the old lady's interest, thinking that it will be Chang He leading the team, Li Chengqian feels that it is necessary to improve the specifications. Didn't you say that the general who led the team could be changed? Then change!

So, Li Chengqian brought rich gifts and visited Li Jing.

Since the Eastern Turkic War, Li Jing has been like invisible, except for the period when the prince was in charge of the country, he basically lived in a simple place, and other noble families had happy events, and they generally gave gifts and people did not go.

Speaking of which, it is the first time to enter Li Jing's house, Li Dejian is an old acquaintance, but this gorgeous woman in red is probably a red whisk!

"I've seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"I've seen my teacher~"

The two people who saluted each other were stunned for a moment, but the embarrassment was fleeting and turned into laughter.

There was no need to hide it at Li Jing's house, so Li Chengqian was very casual, and he didn't need Li Jing's invitation, so he walked into the lobby and sat in the guest seat.

"What is the matter with Your Highness coming today? Oh, and congratulations to His Highness on getting married. ”

Li Jing was also familiar with Li Chengqian's temperament, and he did not refuse, so he sat on the main seat.

"This is not for the sake of marriage, I asked the queen mother, on the day of the wedding, the Jin Wuwei will escort the crown princess into the palace, but there is a lot to do about the issue of leading the generals. Wei Gong, I don't know if you have been the general of this army? ”

"Your Highness means to let the old man lead the team to greet your family?"

Li Jing was suddenly a little dumbfounded, if someone else said this, he would definitely send the guest directly. What are you kidding, the old man is also a dignified defender of the country, how can he pull down his son to do such a thing? However, since it is the prince who asks for it....

The red-haired girl is really as innocent as in the wild history records, Li Jing was still thinking, so she applauded: "This is very good, husband, you can agree, and it is not bad to be happy." ”

After thinking for a long time, Li Jing raised his head and said, "Has Your Highness ever thought about the consequences of doing this?" Although the prince's wedding should be a big one, it is still a little swaggering to let the old man welcome him. ”

This is not Li Jing's boasting, thinking that he has such a military exploitation, even if it is rare to show up, let alone greet his relatives in person.

"It doesn't matter, we already have a master-apprentice relationship, and I don't think those imperial historians will be able to catch any tails."

Seeing what Li Chengqian said, Li Jing immediately smiled and said: "In this case, then the old man will respond!" ”

After getting Li Jing, Li Chengqian was still very happy, since he couldn't greet his relatives in person, then make the scale of the wedding larger.

After visiting Li Jing, he went to the house of Cheng Yanjin and Wei Chigong, and even Niu Jinda did not let go, a total of four generals from the DPRK and China led the team, and the specifications were definitely enough! It is said that when they got married, as long as the generals led the team to ward off evil spirits, these four went to the front to stand up, heh, not to mention warding off evil spirits, the gods and Buddhas probably had to stand aside.

The prince's wedding was originally an internal matter of the aristocracy, and even if the news spread to the people, it would not cause much repercussions. It's not the neighbor's stupid boy getting married, what's the matter with me?

However, this time, it caused a violent response, because all the restaurants and tea stalls in Chang'an shouted in advance. As long as it is the day of the prince's wedding, as long as you say hello in the direction of the East Palace, you can let go of eating and drinking, and everyone's accounts will be paid by the prince!

This is the first time that civilians can participate in the royal celebration, so many people are excited, it is really a one-person marriage, and the whole city is happy.

The new Chang'an County Ling was worried during this time, because of the news of the prince's wedding and banquet, many residents outside Chang'an poured into Chang'an City to inquire about the specific date. This is only before marriage, on the day of the wedding, it is strange that Chang'an is not stuffed with talents.

If it was just such a thing, it was not enough to attract the emperor's attention, but when some people walked to the gate of the imperial city tremblingly and asked the city gate official whether the East Palace would accept gifts, it attracted the emperor's attention.

It's unimaginable that just saying hello can be exchanged for a feast, which is a good thing to pick up for nothing, but there are still people who feel that it is inappropriate and want to give gifts to the East Palace.

It was the first time that the people had been involved in the royal celebration, and no one expected that there would be people who wanted to give gifts to the royal family.

"Pass the order, on the day of Jin Wuwei's wedding, set up a civilian gift collection office at the gate of the imperial city, I really want to see how many people are willing to give gifts to the East Palace!"

Above the court, after hearing the emperor's orders, Wei Zheng was about to stand up to stop him, but he retreated into the ranks. It is the faint monarch who can make the people consciously bear the taxes without feeling that it is difficult to continue the life, which is a matter under the rule of the Ming monarch. And when the people feel that they give gifts to the royal family, even if they can't receive the return gift, they don't feel at a loss, which is a situation that will not occur in a prosperous era. Not to mention the emperor, even he was curious about how many gifts the East Palace would receive this time.

The imperial court unanimously passed the emperor's order to receive gifts at the gate of the imperial city, and Li Chengqian added another article after learning the news, making sure to write down the name and address of the giver. He really can't afford to prostitute the people's things, this is the bottom limit, at least there must be a chance to return the gift. The group of bastards in the court wanted to see how the people reacted, but they didn't expect that the East Palace would not be able to accept these gifts as they deserved.

So, in the expectation of countless people, the day of welcoming relatives has finally arrived.

The dowry of the Su family was sent to the East Palace as early as the day before, and some of Su Yuan's clothes and the like were also sent to the East Palace.

Guangtian Hall is the residence designated by Li Chengqian to Su Yuan, it's not that he doesn't want her to simply live in Lizheng Palace, but the rules are like this, even if she is the crown princess, she can't live in the prince's bedroom, and even the emperor has to occasionally go to the Ganlu Hall to keep the empty bed alone, let alone the prince.

The ministers and women were invited to the palace to attend the banquet. When he saw that Cheng Yanjin was not there, Li Daliang couldn't help but ask Li Ji: "Where did Cheng Bastard go?" Isn't he the most noisy one at a banquet like this? ”

Li Ji likes pork ribs very much, and now one plate has entered his stomach, and he is dealing with the second plate, when he heard Li Daliang ask, he said: "The prince thinks that Jin Wuwei is out to welcome relatives, and the specifications are not enough, and he doesn't know how to move Lao Cheng, Lao Wei Chi and Lao Niu, and even Li Jing's guy has entered the team to welcome relatives, and he will go to greet relatives as a general." ”

"Four please! Li Jing even agreed? ”

Hearing this news, Li Daliang couldn't help but pay more attention to the prince in his heart.

Don't look at the prince as a prince, but it is not an ordinary difficulty to be able to move the four princes and princes to commit themselves to receiving relatives.
