Happy Little Scholar

The servants of the Li family moved carts and carts of gifts home, and Li Yi stood in the yard, thinking of new ways to get money.

It's not a problem to disappear all the time. It's okay to disappear once or twice. Others are not fools. If it happens more often, they may suspect that it is a fraud. In this way, the good reputation he has finally built up will be destroyed. Once.

Thinking about it carefully, when he and Ruyi went to the church to get married, they were in a dazed state and couldn't even remember what happened.

This was the first time he got married in his life. It was too hasty. He would have to find an opportunity to hold another formal wedding in the future. It would be a grand and earth-shattering wedding. The royal family wanted to invite it, and the Wang family also wanted to invite it. Whichever family in Kyoto had the money to invite it? , As for Li Xuan--it depends on how big the gift he gives.

Calculated this way, there will be many opportunities to receive gifts in the future...

Thinking about it again, it seems that my birthday is coming soon. In the past two years, I spent it at home with Ruyi and the others. Do I want to do something small this year?

Well, this is something worth considering.

"Uncle, there's no room for it in that room."

Lao Fang came over and said with a surprised look on his face. Today is not a holiday, and the people giving gifts have almost lined up outside the village.

"Clean up another room and come out." Li Yi waved his hand, and when he was about to go out and take a look, he saw someone who surprised him.

"I've met Li County Marquis."

When he saw Li Yi again, Wei Shilang's attitude was very low.

No gift can be exaggerated from others. This Minister of Rites, Wei Shilang, is from the King of Shu and has a close relationship with the Chen family. How could he come here at this time? Could it be that he is attracted by his own personality and wants to abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side?

Wei Shilang glared at Wei Junliang and said angrily: "You traitor, why don't you admit your mistake to County Marquis Li quickly!"

One side of Wei Junliang's face was still swollen, and he said in a trembling voice: "Mr. Li County, I am blind and blind, and I bumped into you. Please don't remember the faults of villains..."

Although the two of them were similar in age, Wei Junliang was so bold that he did not dare to regard the other as someone of equal status to himself.

Wei Jiqian smiled and said: "Master Hou, the money to compensate for the girl's clothes was sent to her last night."

After coming out of Chen's house yesterday, the last glimmer of hope in his heart was extinguished.

Although he had just been transferred to Kyoto not long ago, he had already heard about County Marquis Li's murderous methods.

If he is targeted, even if the Chen family is behind him, he will not end up well.

Li Yi smiled and said, "Master Wei is really trustworthy..."

Wei Ji nodded repeatedly: "It should, it should..."

Seeing that the two of them were still standing here, Li Yi asked tentatively: "Master Wei, do you want to go in for a cup of tea?"

Of course, the meaning of this sentence is not to invite them in for tea. To understand it accurately, it should be: Why don't you leave? Do you want me to invite you in for a cup of tea?

Wei Ji is a mature man, and his ability to observe words and emotions is also first-class, so he can naturally understand what he means.

"Li County is busy, let's go back first."

"Sir, you are back..." A young man walked in from outside, looked at Li Yi with a happy face, looked back, and asked doubtfully: "Sir, is that Wei Ji, the Minister of Rites?"

Li Yi patted Liu Yishou on the shoulder and said with a smile: "I am already a minister, so don't call me sir."

Liu Yishou smiled and did not agree or refute.

Some habits cannot be changed in a short time, and besides, he has no intention of changing them.

"Isn't Wei Ji from the Chen family?" Liu Yishou asked with a trace of confusion on his face, "Why is he here?"

Wei Ji patted his butt and left. Only then did Li Yi realize that this guy only brought his son with him today, and that he didn't give any gifts when he came to visit him------it's not polite!

"I don't know..." Hearing Liu Yishou's words, he shook his head and said, "I heard that Wei Shilang spent 10,000 taels of silver to buy a piece of clothing, which is really extravagant. He, a small servant, has spent his whole life. The total salary and salary are not that much, and I don’t know where the money comes from. I need to pay more attention after I go down to avoid corruption..."

Liu Yishou's status in the Secret Intelligence Department is not low. As a sharp sword hanging over the heads of officials, the Secret Intelligence Department has a supervisory and warning role for them. Fighting corruption is also one of their responsibilities.

Liu Yishou was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "My subordinates will remember it."

I originally planned to go out early today to look at the house, and then inspect the shops, check the fences, and see the situation outside. I am afraid that this plan will be temporarily shelved and we will wait until the afternoon to see the situation.

"I heard that you slapped Qin Yu again in the restaurant yesterday. It really relieved your hatred. It's a pity that I wasn't there..." Li Xuan walked in with a very regretful expression on his face.

His character is just to watch the excitement and not take it too seriously. He can even kick the king of Shu. He even beat Qin Yu once before him. What kind of evil has Young Master Qin done? As the saying goes, there are many things. If you are unjust, you will die. I always like to steal other people's wives. If I go out, I will either be slapped or severely injured. This is retribution...

After having the Academy of Sciences, Li Xuan became a true science madman. He could not see the Crown Princess in the palace at ordinary times, so he could only vent all his energy on research.

Li Xuan did not come alone. His uncle Wang Yong followed him, stepped forward and said apologetically to Li Yi: "I'm really sorry. I have already punished Wang Yue for what happened yesterday. I hope you can Brother Li, don’t take it to heart.”

"How could that be? If a child doesn't listen, just hang him up and give him a beating." Li Yi is not a person who likes to bear grudges. He waved his hand to show that he didn't care.

"Talk inside." Wang Yong came here, probably to discuss cooperation with him. As a friendly business partner, he would naturally be more friendly to him.

After serving tea, Wang Yong just took a sip and went straight to the point, describing the glass business in detail for Li Yi in the past few months.

A few months ago, when Li Yi left Kyoto, it was the end of the Wang family's glass charity sale.

The number of glass at that charity sale was carefully planned, which could not only meet the needs of the wealthy people in Kyoto, but also avoid being too common and causing a sharp drop in prices.

The royal family, the Wang family, and the Li family made a lot of money in those days.

After that, in order to ensure continuous profits, there was no large-scale glass sale around Kyoto, except for the occasional small amount of glassware from the Wang family.

Waves of foreign merchants left Kyoto, leaving their footprints everywhere in Jingguo. They left Jingguo and went to the world, letting the light of the sun never set shine to further places...

"I don't know what channels the Cui family has accumulated a lot of colored glass." Wang Yong frowned and said, "Although they haven't released it yet, I heard that the Cui family will hold a colored glass appreciation meeting in Kyoto soon. This is not good news for us."

Li Yi certainly knew what channel the Cui family got the colored glass from, and he had been paying attention to the news from the Cui family.

However, he didn't know that the Cui family was also going to hold a colored glass appreciation meeting. It seems that even if there is an intelligence system, sometimes, there is no such well-informed information as these century-old families.

The Cui family actually has quite a few businesses under their name, and they cover a wide range of areas. The Li family has an almost absolute monopoly on the perfume and spirits businesses, but there are no big secrets in terms of ready-made clothes or weaving. There are countless counterfeiters, and the Cui family is the largest counterfeiter. Even if the quality and reputation are incomparable, it will more or less affect their own business.

Miss Zeng complained to me yesterday that these bad-intentioned counterfeiters use inferior materials, low prices, and have a very bad reputation among customers, which has affected the entire ready-made clothing industry...

It seems that the Cui family has been quite happy during the time I was away from Kyoto.

"Liuli Appreciation Meeting?" Li Yi smiled and murmured, "It seems that it's time to release a large number of foreign merchants..."

Wang Yong's face showed a puzzled look, and he looked at him and asked, "What's a large wave?"
