Chapter 630: The Science of Gift-giving
Li Tai is a smart man, and since Li Shen can, so can he.
A long time ago, he was emulating Li Shen's style of doing things, such as rewarding a little money to the subordinates in the house if he had nothing to do.
Although he will not reward him like Li Shen's Ji Wangfu, the people are still grateful to Dade, and those who go to work will do their best more.
Princess Wei wrote them down one by one after hearing Li Tai's words, and she found that in the past few months, her Langjun seemed to have changed as a person.
Every day is not so sad.
The whole person has become very cheerful, and sometimes he can play with her and take his family to the other courtyard for a trip.
During this period, the affairs of the family were managed by the hostess, including financial power.
But there is one point, when a man needs money, the hostess can't manage it, especially if it's the follow-up of external socialization.
The hostess can't refuse, she can only persuade, otherwise it will be against the norm.
So after hearing this, Princess Wei said:
"Don't worry, the concubines have all written it down, but the prince, there is still a concubine who thinks that he will also give a copy."
"Oh? Who else? Li Tai was stunned, he had already thought of everything, he didn't need to give gifts to Guogong or something,
As for his uncles, it doesn't matter if they send it or not.
"Lord Wang, since you want to improve your relationship with King Ji, the concubine thinks that Princess Linchuan should also prepare one.
The concubine heard outside that King Ji was very concerned about Princess Linchuan's sister, and the fifty acres of King Ji's mansion said that it would be sent.
Not long ago, Princess Linchuan moved in, right next to King Ji's mansion, and King Ji even opened a small door between the two families for convenience.
And even if Princess Linchuan is now married, King Ji still set aside a small courtyard for Princess Linchuan in King Ji's mansion to facilitate Princess Linchuan to live.
When we had a poetry meeting, many people envied Princess Linchuan for having a good brother. Princess Wei sighed.
Li Shen's love for Li Mengjiang is known to the world, and Li Mengjiang's dowry is more than one million yuan, not counting dividends.
It can be said that there is no one in the past dynasties.
Li Tai slapped his head after hearing this, and secretly scolded himself for being careless.
"Haha, the lady is really my virtuous helper, I actually forgot about Sister Meng Jiang, it's really damned.
You're right, Meng Jiang is the younger sister of this king, how can you favor one over the other?
Lao Shi is obedient to him, the sister of a fellow mother, who is not envious of Meng Jiang.
The whole Datang will only do this if the old ten have the strength, and they don't care about other people's impeachment and discussions.
Lady, you prepare a generous gift to send over, and I will personally send the rest.
This year, thanks to the blessing of the old ten, the palace made a lot of money by planting cotton in the Anxi Duhu Mansion, so the courtesy was a little heavier. ”
Li Tai laughed heartily and said, He now admires Li Shen's way of giving gifts, save the country by curves, and settle the people around you first.
Li Shen didn't know that his unique secret book had been learned by others, and he was walking on the way back to King Ji's mansion.
He still has three places that he hasn't sent, the Imperial Palace, the East Palace, and Li Mengjiang.
Li Mengjiang is not in a hurry, it is next to his palace, and he has to listen to his sister on how to give gifts this year.
Whether it will be sent to the Zhou Mansion like last year or to the Princess's Mansion has not yet been decided.
So the next target is the East Palace.
Li Shen returned to the palace to reload the goods and went to the East Palace in a mighty way.
Yuan Zheng gives gifts, which are basically some things for food and clothing.
What kind of snacks and the like, cloth silk, brocade, silk silk.
And what Li Shen sent were all fine silk silks, and the silk of Jiannan Dao were all tribute-level.
Li Shen soon came to the East Palace with the gifts, and when Li Chengqian learned that Li Shen came to give gifts, he also came out with the crown princess Su to greet him.
"I've seen my eldest brother and sister-in-law." Li Shen stepped forward and saluted.
It stands to reason that Li Shen should be called a minister, and Li Chengqian's Su family should also be called the crown prince and the crown princess.
But Li Shen felt that it was too raw, so he changed it.
"Haha, tenth brother, I knew that you would come back in the next few days, go, go in and say."
Li Chengqian said happily.
He likes this younger brother very much, not only for his help, but also for Li Shen's indisputable attitude towards the world.
When there is something he will do, he will stand up to help himself, and when he has nothing to do, he will spend all day drinking and enjoying life at home.
This is too important for him, the crown prince.
In the future, when he succeeds to the throne, if he can't control the government, he still expects Li Shen to help him stabilize his power.
It is simply unrealistic to rely on outsiders around him, and everyone wants him to become a puppet for their own interests.
Only his younger brother himself will create benefits. His father had already told him that he would treat Li Shen well, and that it would be useful when he ascended the throne in the future.
No matter what Li Shen did to hurt nature and reason, as long as he did not rebel, it was a trivial matter.
Li Shen followed Li Chengqian to the front hall,
"Tenth brother, you give gifts like this every year, and the eldest brother is a little unhappy, it stands to reason that the eldest brother should return the gift more than you,
But you also know that the eldest brother's East Palace is poor, and it can't compare with you. ”
Li Chengqian said with some embarrassment.
"Look at what the eldest brother said, the younger brother is not giving a gift for you in return, if Aya can return more gifts, I am very happy,
It's a pity that Aya never returns the favor. Li Shen shook his head regretfully.
"Hahaha, you, you, no wonder even your mother said that you have been thinking about Ayah's money. You can do it. ”
Li Chengqian was amused by what Li Shen said.
"What about the money? Big brother, do you really dare to say that others don't know, don't you have any points in your heart, big brother? There is a mountain of gold in the inner house.
And how can my mother say that about me, I have never cared about the money in my money.
I'm a good person. Li Shen retorted.
He also wondered in his heart, why did he act so obviously Now, even the palace knows what he thinks?
Is that sleeping and talking in your dreams at night?
"Aya, it's not a secret that the younger brother is now a family with four walls, and all the money is used for construction.
Not long ago, I borrowed a million from Aye. ”
"Alas~~~" Li Chengqian sighed.
"Tenth brother, a million guan makes you say so lightly. Is there such a big money exchange between you and Aya now?
The eldest brother has been the prince for almost 20 years, and I have never seen a million guan, and the most money I have ever had is the 100,000 guan you gave. Li Chengqian complained.
"Uh....." Li Shen was a little embarrassed, but he didn't expect to hit Li Chengqian,
So he said weakly:
"That.... That one... Why don't you go back to my house with me, and I'll let you see what a million guan looks like?? ”
"Poof~~~~" Li Chengqian squirted out a sip of tea, and now he finally understood why his father was angry every time he saw Li Shen.
This kid is too annoying, is that what he meant? Missed the point?
The crown princess on the side laughed out loud and quickly covered her mouth with her hands.
Li Shen also scratched his head embarrassedly, you see that you are kind, what are you doing?
