Xu Zizhen patted his head and suddenly realized, Li Renxiao originally had this idea, Lao Tzu lived in the palace and it was inconvenient for others to come in to give gifts, and the Quartet Pavilion would not be so particular, this is convenient for Lao Tzu to collect money!

"Okay, please!"

It didn't take long for a boy in brocade clothes to enter the hall, and as soon as he came in, he smiled and saluted Xu Zizhen: "Brother Xu, I have admired my name for a long time, and my younger brother Li ......."

Xu Zizhen didn't remember the name of this kid at all, he only knew that the gift he sent was enough for him to be dizzy for a while, and the lines of words on the gift list made his mouth not close for a long time.

Li Gongzi didn't sit for a long time, and he didn't talk about anything specific during the period, it was nothing more than to make friends with the daimyo for a long time, and finally left an address and invited Xu Zizhen to go to his house as a guest when he was free in the future.

Xu Zizhen didn't slack off people, he was polite all the way from beginning to end, you must know that the Sifang Pavilion is under the management of Honglu Temple, and Honglu Temple is under the control of Zhongshu Ling, and now the place where he lives is the territory of the old man, and it is always good to be polite.

Li Gongzi just left, and there was a son of the Dazai family, this is a serious national name in the ya, and he is also a serious party nobleman.

This son has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he does not have the arrogance that a nobleman should have, but he is bold and straightforward and a little chivalrous, Xu Zizhen chatted with him a few words and actually felt extremely close to him, and he also had a few discussions during the period, but the two did not talk for long The Dazai Yanai said goodbye, because the post official came to report that there was another guest.

The guests in the Sifang Pavilion have not been interrupted throughout the day, starting from Mu Diying to Zhongshu Ling Gongzi, and then to Dazai Shaozai's six Shangshu, and then down to the commanders of the military divisions of all parties, in short, almost all the powerful people in Western Xia have come, and the gifts Xu Zizhen received have been piled up in three rooms, and the gift list is already a thick stack.

But the strange thing is that all the people who came to visit and send congratulatory gifts were the sons and nephews of those adults, and even daughters or nieces and nieces, but none of the adults came in person, Xu Zizhen received him with a dry mouth, and even his face was a little cramping with a smile.

Near noon, the holy decree arrived, and it was Xu Zizhen's acquaintance who was read out, the Li Gonggong in Li Luoyan's palace, and it was really the same as Mu Diying said, the emperor gave the marriage, and arranged for Xu Zizhen and Yuping Princess Li Luoyan to marry in the palace five days later, and Li Gonggong also brought the royal wedding robe and a pair of utensils to be used at that time.

Xu Zizhen had already been mentally prepared, so naturally there was no surprise at all, but he was a little dissatisfied with Gonggong Li, because the old eunuch came over and just read out the holy decree seriously, and finally talked to him about the old days and left, but he didn't give any congratulatory gifts.

"The old man is really slamming the door!" Xu Zizhen secretly despised it.

It wasn't until it was dark that the visitors finally stopped, Xu Zizhen dragged his tired body back to the house, now he just wanted to lie on the bed and sleep all night, and he didn't want to think about anything else, but when he entered the house and saw the room full of gifts, he couldn't help but ponder.

The people who came today all came to talk nonsense without exception, and none of them made any requests, oh no, there are several sons and brothers who have talked about the rise and wanted to worship Xu Zizhen and tie up the brothers, but today I received a bunch of gifts and made a bunch of friends, even if I didn't even remember a few of their names.

Hu Sanniang, Su San, Zhuo Ya, Linzhi, Gillian and others all gathered in Xu Zizhen's house, Xu Zizhen looked around and didn't find Li Luoyan, but saw Yu Qi standing outside the door, beckoned him to come in and asked curiously, "Old Yu, where is the princess?" ”

Yu Qi replied respectfully and seriously: "The concubine will marry the princess in a few days, and according to the customs of Great Xia, the princess will not be able to see you these days." ”

Xu Zizhen didn't ask any more, anyway, he and Li Luoyan haven't seen each other for so long, and it's not bad for four or five days, but what he cares about at the moment is another thing.

Today's visit can be said to occupy the entire upper class of Western Xia, but Xu Zizhen still hasn't figured out why they came to give gifts, why they are so polite to themselves, and they are all such valuable things, Xu Zizhen can't figure out what their purpose is when he thinks that his head is about to crack.

He put together the names of these people who came to visit today, asked Yu Qi to help look at them, and finally said: "I wonder, isn't Lao Tzu just a colt, and he has no official position, these Yannei are rushing to pat Lao Tzu's sycophants for Maoshang?" Look at these good things they sent, they can make me rich overnight and catch up with Jack Ma. ”

"Who is Jack Ma?"

"Leave that one alone...... In this way, you are familiar with everyone, can you see what these people have in common? ”

Yu Qi frowned and thought about the list, and it took a long time to spit out one word: "Yes." ”

Xu Zizhen's spirit perked up: "Say it quickly, what do you have in common?" ”

Yu Qi said: "Rich! ”

"Nonsense!" Xu Zizhen was so angry that he almost put the teacup on his head, but his hand stopped as soon as he moved, "Wait, you can be clear, how is there a rich law?" ”

Yu Qi pointed to the list and explained them one by one: "Zhongshu ordered the Li family to have three pastures in Hetao, raising horses is the first in the country, Dazaifu has five refined iron mines, Shaozaifu has four, and the largest forging and smelting workshop in Daxia is the Mu family's ......"

The more Xu Zizhen listened, the brighter his eyes became, and he finally analyzed why these yamen came to ask for contact, because his identity and status were somewhat special, not only did he have a city and a caravan in Daxia, but he could also communicate the trade between the three kingdoms of Songxia and Tubo.

Everyone knows the form of the world today, the war between Song and Jin does not know when to stop, the demand for horses is absolutely outrageous, and weapons and armor are also a business that cannot be ignored, although the Song and Jin countries can also make their own, but they are by no means as good as those produced by Western Xia.

Obviously, all of these people who have related industries in their families have received rumors, and they want to have a good relationship with Xu Zizhen, so that they can give priority to selling their resources in the future, even if he Xu Zizhen has no real power and is just a colt.

After figuring this out, Xu Zizhen's eyes suddenly brightened, originally he didn't think about it so much, and the plan was just to let his caravan come and go to do some trade, buy and sell some rare things, but now he sees that there is more business he can do in the future, could it be that Zhao Gou will directly find Li Qianshun when he buys horses and weapons? Is this possible?

No wonder they all came to give gifts and make friends, no wonder Grandpa Li didn't give anything at all......

Heck, then Lao Tzu will become the owner of the world's largest trading company? And the gold and silver are not coming into the account like flowing water? Gee!

Thinking of this, Xu Zizhen suddenly realized a problem: Lao Tzu didn't even have an official identity in the Great Song Dynasty, why did these powerful people think that I could be a trade bridge between the Song and Xia countries, did they believe in me too much?

Yu Qi seemed to guess what he was thinking, and said seemingly casually: "The second prince once said that you are very well-connected in the Great Song Dynasty, and even Zhao Huan, the prince of Song, calls you a brother and sister, and there are even rumors that you are the first cronie around Zhao Huan. ”
