Chapter 840: Liu Yiyi's thoughts

The unexpected came too quickly, like a tornado.

Li Zhi, who had just made up his mind to play a low-key and take the affinity route, had just returned to the mansion from Sanyuan on the front foot, and Wang An and his party followed with a large number of gifts on the back foot.

A horse trainer, ten carriages and a whole box of 500,000 silver coins, in addition, a carriage of three original tea, a carriage of wine, cotton clothes and quilts, etc., etc., all the things that have some characteristics of Liufu, a total of fifteen carts, all the way to the west of Chang'an City, Jin Wangfu.

Looking at Wang An and the things he brought, Li Zhi was a little dumbfounded, what kind of situation is this, how could Mr. Liu send him such a big gift? What the hell is his old man thinking?

"I heard that His Royal Highness the King of Jin moved to a new mansion, this is a congratulatory gift from our host to His Royal Highness" Hearing Li Zhi's question, Wang An replied respectfully: "The owner said that there are no other good things in his hands except for these specialties in the hands of the master, please His Royal Highness the King of Jin will not postpone it." ”

"Also," Wang An stepped forward and bowed at the right time, and then said: "From now on, the villain will also stay in the mansion to listen to His Highness's teachings, and let His Highness send him, and beg His Highness to take him in." ”

"You are the horse master on this list, Wang An?" He took a long breath and handed the gift slip in his hand to the housekeeper Zhao Gongcun behind him, Li Zhi looked Wang An up and down, and asked softly, "Have you stayed in Yantian Ranch?" ”

"Yes, His Royal Highness King Jin." In response, Wang An replied: "The villain was the chief horse master of Yantian Ranch, and most of all the Yili war horses in the ranch were domesticated by the villain himself. ”

"You came out of the gentleman's mansion?" Tasting the meaning of Wang An's words, Li Zhi couldn't help but look up at Wang An.

"It's not a secret to go back to His Royal Highness, and when he came, the young master of their family had also instructed him to tell the truth, so when he heard Li Zhi ask about his origin, Wang An replied directly: "When the Liu Mansion was first established, the villain worked as a groom in the mansion and was responsible for domesticating the cattle and horses in the mansion. The villain learned everything he learned, and he was also taught by the owner at that time. ”

"Sir can even train horses?" Li Zhi was stunned for a moment, and muttered to himself: "This king has never thought of it. ”

Poetry, composing, calligraphy, medicine, martial arts, horse training, in this world, in addition to giving birth, is there anything that Mr. will not do?

"The six arts of a gentleman, riding and shooting are also counted as one, and Fuzhong will inevitably keep some horses in captivity for his use in the future," Li Zhi nodded lightly, looked at Wang Andao: "Since you are a horse master, you must have experience in riding and shooting if you want to come, so stay in the house." ”

"His Royal Highness King Xie Jin" Hearing that Li Zhi nodded and left himself, Wang Anxin couldn't help but be sure, he finally lived up to their host's trust, and so far he could be regarded as having fulfilled the owner's instructions.

"Li Fu" nodded lightly at Wang An, and Li Zhi whispered to Li Fu, the steward beside him: "You take Wang An's horse master down, arrange accommodation, and distribute the money according to the position of the steward." ”

"Yes, Your Highness" Li Fugong, who was a little fat, replied, and then took Wang An to the side courtyard of the Jin Palace, where the steward of the Jin Palace, lived.

"His Royal Highness King Xie Jin's love" bent over and saluted, Wang An left the front yard with Li Fu, his face was indifferent, without a trace of excitement and excitement, he knew that the reason why he was so courteous to His Royal Highness King Jin was all because of the good fortune of their young master, His Royal Highness King Jin was giving their owner face, and it had nothing to do with him, a little horse master. If he wants to really get the attention of King Jin and everyone in King Jin's mansion, it depends on how he performs in the future.

Send Wang An down, Li Zhi sat in the hall, looking at the carriage outside the palace gate a little overwhelmed, after the New Year when he moved out of the Lizheng Palace, it was indeed a lot of officials came to congratulate, but it was only a kind of etiquette, the congratulatory gifts sent were either calligraphy and paintings, or a few gift boxes, like Mr. Liu, a dozen carriage of congratulatory gifts, Li Zhi didn't even think about it.

A horse master, a 500,000 guan, as well as tea, wine, etc., how can you have a property of more than 600,000 guan, 600,000 guan, what kind of concept is that?

Although he usually doesn't touch the money, and he never has to pay for it himself when he spends it, the concept of money is somewhat vague, but Li Zhi also knows what a terrifying number of more than 600,000 guan is. You must know that when he came out of the palace, his father only allocated him a total of 5,000 guan for daily expenses, but as for him, the master, as soon as he made a move, it was more than 600,000 yuan, including 500,000 yuan in cash.

"I have long heard that the Liu family is very wealthy, and it is almost rich enough to rival the country, and the villain didn't believe it before, thinking that a peasant who has just risen for less than three years can't achieve the point of being rich and rivaling the country," put down the gift list in his hand, Zhao Gongcun sighed and said softly: "But now, the villain believes it." ”

As soon as he made a move, it was 500,000 guan, which means that in Liu Yiyi's eyes, this 500,000 guan is not insignificant, counting the two million guan he donated to the imperial court a year ago, as well as the 300,000 guan he took out during the disaster relief, in less than two months, Liufu has taken out nearly 3 million guan in cash, is this something that ordinary businessmen can do? Not to mention ordinary businessmen, I am afraid that even the largest money bank in Chang'an City may not be able to take out so much silver in one go.

"It's not bad, it's just," retracting his gaze from the carriage outside the hospital, Li Zhi turned his head to look at Zhao Gongcun, and asked softly, "What does Mr. Liu mean by this?" ”

There was such a big commotion in his own mansion, Li Zhi didn't believe that his father and several other imperial brothers would not get the slightest news, maybe someone would report to them now. Isn't such a big move as Mr. pushing himself to the cusp of the wind and waves?

Therefore, for Liu Yiyi's behavior, Li Zhi was both grateful and hesitant in his heart, grateful that the master had a heart and was able to support himself at a critical moment, and hesitating that the master's kindness would bring him some unexpected suspicion and trouble. Originally, I wanted to do nothing and forbear not to participate in the battle for the crown prince too early, but after this battle, I am afraid that it will also disappear.

"There are two directions," Zhao Gongcun bowed and replied: "One, Your Highness can understand that this is just a normal exchange of gifts between His Highness's master and apprentice, but Mr. Liu's family is rich, so this congratulatory gift is relatively more and more valuable, in fact, it is no different from ordinary visits to relatives and friends." ”

"Huh?" Li Zhi looked stunned, couldn't help but shook his head with a wry smile, and then said to Zhao Gongcun: "Sir, let's talk about another one." ”

"Another," Zhao Gongcun continued, "Your Highness can also be understood that this is Mr. Liu's public support for His Highness, which means to surrender and show goodwill." ”

"Huh?" Li Zhi shook his head again, this possibility does not seem to be big, if Mr. Liu wants to become a leader, the eldest brother and the third brother are undoubtedly much stronger than themselves, even if they are not chosen, they can go directly to find their father, and if they come to the father, they will not treat Mr. badly. It's not that Li Zhi despises himself, but he really can't find a reason why Mr. Liu will support him.

"Since His Royal Highness doesn't agree with these two points, then there is only one other possibility," Glancing up at Li Zhi, Zhao Gongcun said: "It's just that the villain doesn't think that Mr. Liu will have this kind of thought." ”

"Sir, please be clear." Li Zhi turned to face Zhao Gongcun and asked him softly.

"If it's not a courtesy exchange, and it's not a show of sincerity," Zhao Gongcun said in a deep voice: "Then it can only sow discord and stir up discord between His Highness and the princes." ”

"Huh?" Li Zhi glanced at Zhao Gongcun in surprise, thinking that this guy really dared to think, how could the master be such a despicable villain? After calming down a little, Li Zhi said lightly: "Mr. is too worried, the master is idle and wild, he has no intention of career, how can he have such a bad heart for no reason?" This king is not believing."

After several months of intimate contact and careful teaching, Liu Yiyi's current position in Li Zhi's heart is second only to Li Shimin and Empress Changsun, so no matter what, Li Zhi will not be suspicious of his master.

"The villain also thinks it's unlikely, this is just a casual remark, Your Highness doesn't have to take it to heart." Zhao Gongcun changed his words lightly, in fact, he didn't think that Liu Yiyi would have any evil intentions, and what he said just now was that he deliberately said it, wanting to test the status of Liu Yiyi in the hearts of their Highnesses.

Putting his heart in his heart and trusting him undoubtedly, Li Zhi's fierce reaction of the little prince made Zhao Gongcun surprised and sighed at the same time, he also had to admire Liu Yiyi's means of controlling people's hearts, how long had it been, and His Royal Highness the King of Jin had abandoned all his vigilance against him and trusted him so closely.

"In Mr.'s opinion," not wanting to dwell more on this issue, Li Zhi raised his hand and pointed to the carriage outside the courtyard, and asked Zhao Gongcun in a loud voice: "How should I deal with these congratulatory gifts sent by Mr. Liu?" ”

"Since it is Mr. Liu's heart, His Highness should accept it for the time being, so as not to chill Mr. Liu's mind." Zhao Gongcun bent over and replied.

"That's how I put it," Li Zhi said in a somewhat tangled voice: "It's just that if this matter is known to my father and a few royal brothers, wouldn't it be ......?"

"Your Highness," knowing what their Highness was worried about, Zhao Gongcun said softly: "Now that the war in the northwest is tight, the treasury is becoming empty, and the emperor is also worried about money and food, although 500,000 guan is not much, it is not a small number, why doesn't Your Highness borrow flowers to offer Buddha and donate these silver coins?" ”

"Huh?" Li Zhi's eyes lit up, and he was a little moved, looked up at Zhao Gongcun and said: "This idea is good, but after all, these coins are Mr. Liu's things, and this king is doing this, I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate, right?" ”

"Your Highness has been thinking a lot, since Mr. Liu has already given it away, then these silver coins are His Highness's things, and the use is naturally at His Highness's disposal." Zhao Gongcun continued: "What's more, Mr. Liu gave away 500,000 yuan in cash at a time, so why didn't he mean to give credit to His Highness?" ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Gongcun suddenly realized something, and he couldn't say that the meaning of Liu Yiyi's generosity was this
