Li Cai was originally Li Guang's cousin, who served as an attendant to Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty when he was young, and later joined the army, and also made a lot of contributions.

is considered an old seniority in the army, but unfortunately, like his eldest brother, he was born at the wrong time.

In the Wenjing era, the defense strategy of the north and the south was implemented, and Li Cai's ability could not be displayed, so he could only nest in the pass with grievances.

Most of the contributions made belong to the defense against the invasion of the Huns.

So by the time Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ascended the throne, his cousin Li Guang had already become the Taishou of the border county, and Li Cai was still doing the local governor's history.

This year, that is, the beginning of the fifth year of Yuan Shuo.

Li Guang was cheeky and asked Liu Che to transfer Li Cai to Wei Qing, who was still a general at the time, to attack the Xiongnu in the north together, so that he made enough military achievements.

After the triumph of the army, Wei Qing was worshiped as a general, and Li Cai also gained a lot, and was named a light cavalry general, happy to wait.

After that, Li Cai abandoned Wu Congwen and was appointed by Liu Che as the imperial historian, ranking one of the three dukes!

Although the father is reluctant to fight anymore, his mind is still very clear.

In the eyes of today's son, no credit is as stable as military merit!

Even if you are not favored by the Son of Heaven, as long as you have a solid foundation for military exploits and do not make mistakes of principle, you can continue to be prosperous!

So although his cousin Li Guang has always been at odds with Wei Qing, Li Cai still insisted on sending his son Li Yu to Wei Qing's command, and often ran to Princess Pingyang's mansion.

Li Yu, like his budget-conscious father, is a businessman.

Although he is not too old in a group of second-generation soldiers in Princess Pingyang's Mansion, he still quickly got along with everyone and is regarded as his own.

Pingyang Gong mainly takes care of her husband's old subordinates, and participates in Tang Qi's "Dahan Department Store" chain together, and of course Li Yu is indispensable.

At this time, Li Yu relied on his family's experience of "making money" and talked endlessly among the sons and daughters of the nobles.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, novelty gadgets don't mean that you can make money, look at so many thriving shops in Chang'an, which one makes a lot of money at low prices?"

"Only small families who have no backers behind them and have just come to the capital should use a low-price strategy at the beginning. A big farmer order in Settle down and wait for the hall actually did the same, isn't that deliberately pushing the real big customers out? ”

In other words, it's too low!

"There are no big customers, no matter how big the name of his shop is, it is just a small store that does not enter the stream, and it can't make much money. For the sake of Your Highness, my family is willing to support Anding Hou for some silver, but to make money in partnership? Forget it! ”

"Li Yu, you're going too far!"

Su Jia jumped to his feet: "Your Highness is kind and willing to let us get involved in the money-making business, how can you talk to Your Highness like this!" ”

Su Jia's father, Su Jian, is different from Li Cai, and he is not a child of a serious family.

At first, he was also unknown in the army, and it was not until he followed Wei Qing to fight against the Xiongnu several times that he made military exploits and was able to be named a marquis.

Later, it was recommended by Wei Qing to serve as the guard general of the newly built Shuofang City, and he was promoted to a guerrilla general at the beginning of the year.

In the eyes of the world, the Su family belongs to the hardcore "general department".

Su Jia was also sent to Princess Pingyang's mansion early, and grew up playing with Huo Quzhi and Wei Yan, and belonged to the Wei family's diehards, commonly known as brain-dead fans.

It is also a martial artist temper who has been in the army all year round and has learned a body.

At this time, seeing that Li Yu was openly mocking Her Royal Highness the princess (a person who is optimistic), he couldn't hold back all of a sudden.

Zhang Miao, the son of Zhang Cigong, and Gongsun Jingsheng, the son of Gongsun He, also frowned.

"Li Yu, you really said too much, and you still don't ask His Highness for guilt!"

These people are also hardcore generals, and they don't need a door sticker to enter and exit Princess Pingyang's mansion on weekdays!

If nothing else, when Huo Qubing can lead the army alone, these second generations will fight with him and become his solid arms.

As for Wei Yan, there is no way, he is too young, and he can only play with Su Xian, the youngest son of Su Jian's family, for the time being.

Of course, Li Yu is the same, but he is from a family and is more arrogant than other brothers.

was reprimanded by everyone, and disagreed: "I'm not rude to His Highness, but I suspect that An Dinghou doesn't know how to do business at all, and uses His Highness and the general's money to mess around!" ”

"If the general is short of money, it is better to give the money to my father, and I will guarantee that it will be multiplied several times for you in a year! What to do for Andinghou, and you don't have to bother him! ”

Obviously, Li Yu regarded the Pingyang Princess's Mansion's participation in Tang Qi's business as a "gift" from the two generals to befriend Tang Qi.

Very indignant!

Princess Pingyang frowned and said, "Li Yu, that's right. ”

Li Yu was dissatisfied: "Your Highness, why are you obsessed, are you sure you won't lose money?!" ”

Princess Pingyang was silent.

As for whether "Dahan Department Store" can make money, in fact, she has no bottom in her heart.

When I go to see it during the day, there are more people, but it is not that business will be good if there are more people.

Most people probably just go to join in the fun and see if there is a bargain to take advantage of, and they may not really buy something.

And after taking advantage of the opening discount, many people will never come again.

The room fell silent for a moment.

Everyone looked at each other.

They are good at following in the footsteps of the generals, but they are on the political side and belong to the community of interests of officialdom.

But friendship is friendship, and business is another matter.

Princess Pingyang partners in business, as long as they don't lose money, everyone is willing to give a little more, and it can be regarded as a statement.

But if it's a loss-making business...... It's really better to donate some money directly to the princess's mansion.

After all, if you lose money in business, you can continue to lose money!

Except for a century-old family like the Li family, no one's silver is blown by the wind, and it is impossible to lose it endlessly.

"Princess, there are people from the Marquis of Anding who want to see you!"

Just when the atmosphere was getting awkward, the butler suddenly knocked on the door.

Princess Pingyang perked up: "Who is here?" ”

"It's a woman who calls herself Zhuo Wenjun, and she said that she is here to give you dividends to Your Highness!"

Pingyang's eyes lit up suddenly: "Let people in!" ”

I thought I would have to wait at least a month to see the results, but I didn't expect Tang Qi to send the dividends over on the same day.

What a bonus!

Su Jia touched Li Yu's arm: "Oh, people are here to give dividends!" ”

"Hmph, how about that, the devil knows how many taels of silver." Li Yu said stiffly, "Maybe people are swollen and fat, and they don't dare to tell His Highness that they are losing money!" ”

The door creaked open.

Zhuo Wenjun bowed to Pingyang Yingying: "Your Highness, my marquis sent a little girl to give you dividends." ”

Behind him were two strong men of five big and three thick, carrying a huge wooden box.

When I opened it, it was a box full of yellow, orange and orange copper coins!

Li Yu's taunt was stuck in his throat, and he stared at the box in surprise.

How much this must be!
