On this day, Li Ye had just come back from the palace morning, and he saw that in front of his palace, there were many people, and he was very surprised, except for a few princes and princesses in Chengdu, he had no other acquaintances, what was going on in front of him, and it seemed that he had brought a lot of things.

"See King Shou, His Royal Highness Chitose Chitose Chitose."

As soon as Li Ye entered the mansion, he saw some people in the front yard and immediately greeted him. And looking at these strangers, Li Ye was surprised, when did he become so famous?

"Who are you?" Li Ye asked.

"His Royal Highness King Shou, the villain's surname is He, and He Dong, whom His Highness saved a few days ago, is the villain's beloved son."

"Your Royal Highness, the villain belongs to the Liu Mansion, and in order to thank His Royal Highness for saving the villain's daughter, the villain master hereby prepares a small gift to express his gratitude."

"The villain is the housekeeper of the Sun Mansion, and he is also grateful to His Royal Highness for saving the daughter of the Sun Mansion."

After asking carefully, it turned out that these three waves of people were from He Dong, Liu Chenyan and Sun Mei's family, He Mansion came from the head of the family, and the other two mansions came from the housekeeper. As for the so-called thin gift, it is not thin.

He Fu gave 50,000 guan money and 10,000 pieces of silk, and Sun Fu and Liu Fu each gave 30,000 guan money, a total of 110,000 guan money and 10,000 pieces of silk. He Dong did say this at that time, but Li Ye didn't take it to heart, after all, saving people is also easy, who would have thought that a few families would take it seriously.

You must know that this money is not a small number, you must know that the treasury income of the Tang Dynasty at this time was less than 10 million guan because of the Huangchao Rebellion (there were nearly 30 million guan before the Huangchao Rebellion), and 110,000 guan and 10,000 silk horses are not small numbers. Even if this is the sum of the three figures, the amount is not a small number, which shows that the wealth of the three families is not small.

Suddenly giving him such a large sum of money, Li Ye suddenly had a feeling of corruption and bribery, and he was hesitant to accept it.

"Your Highness, the lower official advises his subordinates." Pei Rong, who was on the side, saw Li Ye's embarrassment and immediately persuaded him.

"Why? Such a large sum of money, even if this king saved the sons and daughters of these three families, he would not give so much. The king feared that the three families had other plans. Li Ye voiced his worries.

"The three families should want to tie up with His Highness, after all, now His Highness's holy family is in full swing, who doesn't want to take the boat of His Highness. Your Highness is now in the limelight, and if you show too much integrity, Your Majesty will suspect that Your Highness has other ideas; If His Highness accepts it, even if someone stabs this matter to His Majesty, His Majesty will blame him for a few words at most, but he will not suspect that His Highness has different intentions.

His Highness is not fit to win the favor of those courtiers now, so this money must be accepted so that His Majesty will feel at ease. Pei Rong said in a serious tone.

After listening to what the other party said, Li Ye knew that he had fallen into a misunderstanding. Although he has begun to have his own army now, after all, the army has not yet been formed, and if he wants to continue to grow his strength, he cannot leave the support of the emperor. Pei Rong's method is to blacken himself, and he doesn't have to deliberately get close to the courtiers, before taking Meng Zhaotu into the palace, Pei Rong felt that it was too reckless, but fortunately, His Majesty didn't think much about it.

But not in the future, especially now that the relationship between Li Ye and Tian Lingzi is very stiff, and he can't be too decent. Without His Majesty's support, Li Ye would be just an ordinary prince and would not be able to do anything.

Li Ye looked at Pei Rong gratefully, and agreed to accept the belongings piled up in the front yard, I have to say that these money are of great use to him. As for the several families who ask for it, he will see what it is later, as long as it is not something that violates the principle, he can also help. Li Ye suddenly found that he seemed to have fallen, did those corrupt officials think like this at the beginning, and then slowly couldn't extricate themselves. Thinking of this, Li Ye couldn't help but be taken aback.

Li Ye had all the money under his hands, and the representatives of several families also smiled, and the stone hanging in his heart was relieved. Although the three families were a little distressed about this money, they thought that if they could get in touch with King Shou, it would be worth it.

Among the three families, the He family is the richest, the Sun family is prominent, and the Liu family is very ordinary.

The He family is very famous in Chengdu Mansion, because they are rich, there are many shops in Chengdu Mansion alone, involving restaurants, cabinet shops (money villages), tea and grain, etc. However, the He family is not a native of Chengdu Province, but a native of Zizhou, but now a considerable part of his clan lives in Chengdu Province.

Don't talk about the Sun family, although the family also has a business, it is far from being a family. However, the Sun family is a prominent family in Chengdu, and after years of accumulation, it is not difficult to come up with tens of thousands of yuan.

The Liu family and the He family have an in-law relationship, and the current wife of the head of the Liu family is the sister of the current head of the He family. The Liu family is a military family, and the current head of the Liu family is the deputy commander of the tooth soldiers left by the former Jiedu envoy Cui Anqian, and the general on the fifth grade. At the same time, the younger brother of the head of the Liu family served as the county magistrate from Liupin in Jintang County below Hanzhou. At the same time, the Liu family and the Sun family are world friends and have a good relationship.

So from this point of view, the relationship between the three families is actually very close, and the Liu family is the link between the three families. And the reason why the He family has done such a big business is also because of the care of the Sun family and the Liu family, otherwise they would not have been miserable by Chen Jingxuan, sometimes they are too rich but have no corresponding strength. At that time, too much money was a disaster.

If it is a single family, it is naturally nothing in Chengdu Mansion, but if the three families are united, it will be a big force. Therefore, Chen Jingxuan did not dare to persecute these three families too much. And the reason why the three families are willing to give so much money is also to protect them through Li Ye, after all, no matter how powerful the three families are, if Chen Jingxuan and Tian Lingzi want to do something to them, they will not have the power to parry.

"These three are quite rich, and they are not small." After listening to the situation of the three families, Li Ye couldn't help but sigh.

"No matter how small it is, in the face of power, there is not much power to parry. Especially after the rebellion of the Huangtou Army, the two brothers Tian Lingzi and Chen Jingxuan, one wanted to rebuild the Shence Army and the other wanted to reorganize the Xichuan Army, which probably brought them a lot of pressure, so they wanted to borrow the big tree of His Royal Highness to enjoy the shade. ”

"This is too much to look up to this king." Li Ye laughed at himself.

"But Your Highness, what does Your Highness plan to do with receiving so much money this time?" Pei Rong asked.

"How? Keep some for your own use, and the rest is to find a way to do some business and make some money, and it is most appropriate to make money. Li Ye said without hesitation.

"Your Highness, the matter of buying and selling, that is done by a merchant, Your Highness is a noble body, how can you do such a thing." Pei Rong hurriedly dissuaded.

"Sir's words are bad, and it's not easy to talk to Mr. anyway. Mr. only needs to be busy with the Tiance Army, and these little things will not bother Mr. to worry about. ”

Shinong industry and commerce, this is actually a kind of status. The people of the merchants, although their families are rich, but many places have been surrendered, and the Tang Dynasty is better, because it is more open and not so strict. But in other dynasties, the merchant family was very discriminated against, and this concept could not be reversed by Li Ye in a short time.

Li Ye has a lot of things he wants to do in his heart, but this is inseparable from money and grain, food is easy to say, after all, he also has a hundred hectares of land, if all the grain is planted, with a mu yield of 300 catties, it is also hundreds of tons of grain. But money can't be conjured up by itself, you can't always rely on rewards or ask for it from other people, you must do some business, and then make money, so that some of his ideas can have enough money to support.

But what to do, Li Ye hasn't figured it out yet, he doesn't know what to do to make money. Moreover, in his previous life, he was not an expert, a scholar, an inventor or anything, he didn't even know the recipes for gunpowder, concrete, soap, etc., and he couldn't invent them at all, so these definitely can't work.

The matter of Li Ye's acceptance of money also reached Li Yi, Tian Lingzi naturally did not forget to complain, and some courtiers also thought that Li Ye's actions were inappropriate. However, Li Yi's reaction was as Pei Rong expected, and it was good, and he didn't mean to blame Li Ye at all, as if it didn't exist.

And this consequence led to the next few days, Li Ye's Shouwang Mansion became very lively, and many people sent condolences and gave a thin gift, most of them were some local officials and families in Chengdu Prefecture, and there were very few officials in the court.

For these small gifts, Li Ye naturally accepted them gladly, he now has a big family and a big business, and he also needs money. Since you have decided to defile yourself according to Pei Rong's suggestion, then defile yourself to the end, it's all money, don't do it in vain.
