Chapter eight hundred and fortieth Liu Yi's mind
Chapter 840 Liu Yiu’s Thoughts
The accident came too fast, like a tornado.
Li Zhi, who had just made up his mind to play a low-key and friendly route, just returned to the mansion from Sanyuan, and Wang An and his party followed with a large number of gifts.
A horse trainer, a whole box of ten horse carriages, a whole box of 500,000 jin of silver coins. In addition, one carriage, three original tea, one carriage, wine, a number of cotton coats and quilts, etc., all the special things in Liu Mansion, gathered fifteen carts and came all the way to the west of Chang'an City, the Jin Prince's Mansion.
Seeing Wang An and the things he brought, Li Zhi was a little stunned at the time. What was going on? How could Mr. Liu give him such big gifts? What was his idea?
"I heard that His Highness King Jin moved to his new mansion. This is a gift from our boss to His Highness!" Hearing Li Zhi's question, Wang An responded respectfully: "The boss said that he, as a master, has nothing else to do except these specialties. Please postpone His Highness King Jin Wang."
"Also," Wang An stepped forward and bowed, and continued, saying: "From now on, the villain will stay in the mansion and listen to Your Highness's teachings, and let Your Highness send you, and beg you to take it in."
"You are the Ma Master on this gift list, Wang An?" He took a long breath and handed the gift list in his hand to the housekeeper Zhao Gongcun behind him. Li Zhi looked up and down Wang An and asked softly, "Have you been in Yantian Ranch?"
"Yes, Your Highness, King of Jin." After responding, Wang An replied in a voice: "The villain was once the chief horse master of Yantian Ranch. Most of the Yili war horses in the ranch were tamed by the villain himself. The battle in the northwest of Nianguan began, and Hou Junji robbed the ranch. The villain had nowhere to go, so he returned to Sanyuan."
"Did you come out of the husband's mansion?" Li Zhi couldn't help but look up at Wang An's eyes.
"Go back to Your Highness, yes." It's not a secret anyway, and when they came, their young master had also ordered the truth to tell the truth. So when Li Zhi asked about his origin, Wang An replied directly: "When the Liu Mansion was first established, the villain had worked as a groom in the mansion and was responsible for taming the cattle and horses in the mansion. What the villain learned was also at that time when he was a professor from the boss."
"Sir, can still train horses?" Li Zhi was stunned and murmured to himself: "I have never thought of this king."
Writing poetry, composing music, calligraphy, medicine, martial arts, and horse training. In this world, besides having children, is there anything that the teacher can't do?
"A gentleman's six arts, riding, and shooting are also considered one. In the future, there will inevitably be some horses in the mansion for him to use," Li Zhi nodded slightly and looked at Wang An and said, "Since you are a horse master, if you want to come and ride, you must have experience shooting, so stay in the mansion."
"Thank you, Your Highness, King Jin!" After hearing Li Zhi nodded and kept him, Wang An couldn't help but feel at ease. He finally lived up to their boss's entrustedness, and thus he had completed his boss's instructions.
"Li Fu!" Nodded slightly at Wang An, Li Zhi whispered to Li Fu, the manager beside him, "You will take Master Wang An down and arrange accommodation, and the money will be paid according to the manager's position."
"Yes, Your Highness!" Li Fu, who was a little fat, responded respectfully, and then took Wang An to the side courtyard of the Jin Wang Mansion, which was the courtyard where the office of the Jin Wang Mansion was located.
"Thank you Your Highness King Jin for your kindness!" He bent over and bowed, and Wang An followed Li Fu away from the front yard with his face calm, without a trace of excitement and excitement. He knew that the reason why he was treated so well by His Highness King Jin was all because of the blessing of their young master. His Highness King Jin was giving their boss face and had no big connection with him, the little horse master. If you really want to get the attention of King Jin and the people in the King Jin's mansion, it depends on how he will perform in the future.
After sending Wang An down, Li Zhi sat in the hall and looked at the carriage outside the mansion and felt at a loss. When he moved out of the Lizheng Hall after the New Year, many officials came to congratulate him, but most of them were just a formality. The gifts he gave were either calligraphy and paintings or several gift boxes. Like Mr. Liu, Li Zhi had never even thought about the gifts from more than a dozen carriages.
A horse master, a half hundred thousand guan, tea, wine and wine, and then you have to have more than 600,000 guan of money, and more than 600,000 guan. What is that?
Although he usually doesn't have money and never has to pay it himself when spending money, and his concept of money is somewhat vague, Li Zhi also knows how terrifying the number of more than 600,000 guan is. You must know that when he came out of the palace, his father assigned him a total of 5,000 guan for daily expenses, but as his master, he took more than 600,000 guan, including 500,000 guan in cash. Li Zhi's little heart was somewhat uncontrollable and jumped up pulsatingly.
"I have heard that the Liu family has a wealthy family, and it is almost as rich as a country. The villain did not believe it before. He believed that a farmer who had just risen for less than three years could not be able to be rich as a country," said Zhao Gongcunduo sighingly, "But now, the villain believes it."
The first move was 500,000 yuan, which shows that in Liu Yi's eyes, these 500,000 yuan was not worth it. Calculate the two million yuan he donated to the court before the New Year and the 300,000 yuan he took out during disaster relief. In less than two months, the Liu Mansion had already taken out nearly 3 million yuan in cash. Is this something that ordinary merchants can do? Not to mention ordinary merchants, I am afraid that even the largest money house in Chang'an City could be able to take out so much money in one breath.
"It's very good, but," Li Zhi turned his head to look at Zhao Gongcun and asked softly, "What is Mr. Liu's move?"
There was such a big disturbance in his mansion, and Li Zhi didn't believe that his father and other princes would not get any news. Maybe someone would report to them now. Isn't the gentleman pushing himself to the storm of the wind with such a big move?
Therefore, Li Zhi was both grateful and hesitant about Liu Yi's actions. What he was grateful for was that his master was willing to support him at critical moments. What hesitated was that his master's kindness would probably bring him some unexpected suspicion and trouble. His original plan to participate in the dispute between the crown prince but not early, after this battle, he might disappear.
"There are two directions," Zhao Gongcun bowed and replied, "One, Your Highness can be understood as this is just a normal exchange of courtesy between Your Highness's master and disciple. It's just that Mr. Liu's family is rich, so there are more gifts to give more and more expensive. In fact, it is no different from ordinary visits to relatives and friends."
"Uh?" Li Zhi looked stunned, and couldn't help but shook his head with a wry smile, and then said to Zhao Gongcun: "Sir, let's talk about another one."
"Other," Zhao Gongcun continued, "Your Highness can also be understood as Mr. Liu is openly supporting Your Highness, with the intention of surrendering and showing goodwill."
"Uh?" Li Zhi shook his head again. This may not seem very big. If Mr. Liu wants to become an official, his elder brother and third brother are undoubtedly much better than him. Even if he doesn't choose them, he can go directly to find his father. I think his father will not treat his husband unfairly. It's not that Li Zhi despises him, but that he really can't find a reason why Mr. Liu will support him.
"Since Your Highness does not agree with these two points, there is only another possibility," Zhao Gongcun said, "But the villain does not think that Mr. Liu has such thoughts."
"Sir, please tell me clearly." Li Zhi turned around and faced Zhao Gongcun and asked him softly for advice.
"If it is not a polite exchange or a surrender," Zhao Gongcun said in a deep voice: "That is only to provoke discord and arouse the disagreement between Your Highness and the princes."
"Ah?!" Li Zhi looked at Zhao Gongcun in surprise, thinking that this guy really dared to think about it. How could the master be such a despicable villain? After calming down, Li Zhi said indifferently: "Sir, I'm too worried. Master is idle and wild cranes, and has no intention of career. How could he develop such evil intentions for no reason? I definitely don't believe it!"
It is even more outrageous to say that the master may be designing to frame him, which is more than the first two reciprocities and surrender. After several months of intimate contact and careful teaching, Liu Yiu’s position in Li Zhi’s heart is now second only to Li Shimin and Empress Changsun. Therefore, no matter what, Li Zhi will not be suspicious of his master.
"The villain also thinks it is unlikely. This statement is just a casual statement. Your Highness doesn't have to take it seriously." Zhao Gongcun changed his words indifferently. In fact, he himself did not think that Liu Yi would have any evil intentions. He said that just now, just to test how heavy Liu Yi's position is in the hearts of His Highness.
He was heart-to-heart, and trust was undoubtedly true. While the fierce reaction of Li Zhi, the little prince, surprised and sighed, he also had to admire Liu Yi's method of controlling people and gathering his heart. In this way, His Highness King Jin had abandoned all his guard against him and trusted him so closely.
"In my opinion," he didn't want to get into trouble with this issue. Li Zhi raised his hand and pointed to the carriage outside the yard, and asked Zhao Gongcun, "How should we deal with these congratulatory gifts sent by Mr. Liu?"
"Since it is Mr. Liu's intention, your highness should accept it for the time being, so as not to lose Mr. Liu's thoughts." Zhao Gongcun bent over and replied.
"That's what I said," Li Zhi said in a bit of entanglement: "But, if the father and several emperor brothers know about this matter, wouldn't it be..."
"Your Highness," Zhao Gongcun said softly, "Now the war in the northwest is tight, the national treasury is becoming increasingly empty, and the emperor is also worried about money and food. Although 500,000 guan is not much, it is not a decimal. Why don't your highness give Buddha to donate these silver coins with flowers?"
"Hmm?" Li Zhi's eyes lit up, and he was a little moved. He looked up at Zhao Gongcun and said, "This idea is good, but the money is Mr. Liu's belongings after all. I'm afraid it's a bit inappropriate for me to do this, right?"
"Your Highness is too worried. Since Mr. Liu has given it, then these silver coins are your highness's belongings, and the cost is naturally all up to your highness." Zhao Gongcun continued, "What's more, Mr. Liu gave away 500,000 yuan in cash at one time, so why didn't he give the credit to your highness?"
Chapter completed!
