Xiaohuan came in with a blushing face and brought tea. After taking a look at Li Yi, he quickly left.
There's something wrong with the little maid today. I don't know what's going on in her head. It's time for her to be rebellious at the age of sixteen. To be on the safe side, I'll ask her questions later. Li Yi thought in his mind and turned to look at Li Xuan and said:
"Tell me, what's the big deal?"
"Have you heard of the Luochuan Wang family?" Li Xuan looked at him and asked.
Li Yi thought about it carefully, then shook his head: "The Wang family in Luochuan has not heard of it, but Luochuan Apple has heard of it."
In his impression, Luochuan is the hometown of apples. Luochuan apples have beautiful fruit shapes, bright colors, crisp and dense flesh, and good color and fragrance...
Of course, this Luochuan is not another Luochuan, but I don’t know what this Wang family in Luochuan is. Did he start his business by selling apples?
Li Xuan rubbed his eyebrows and said, "The Wang family of Luochuan is the family of the imperial concubine."
"Is it the Wang family?" Li Yi looked at him and asked.
"It's the Wang family." Li Xuan nodded.
Li Yi naturally knew about the Wang family to which the imperial concubine belonged, but no one had ever mentioned to him what the Wang family and Apple had to do with Luochuan. Generally speaking, if a family can be preceded by a certain county, then
It's really amazing.
Just like the Cui family, they have a very high prestige among the people and scholars. Their own strength is not obvious, and there are no soldiers or soldiers in the family, but their influence is huge. On the one-third of an acre of their own land, they are like a local emperor.
If there is a little agitation, the world of Lao Li's family will be in chaos, and even the royal family will have to give face.
Naturally, Li Yi had heard of this Wang family.
It is a family similar to the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Although it was not completely eliminated in the course of history, after more than a hundred years of situation changes, the existing power is much weaker than those powerful families in the previous life. However,
It should not be underestimated either.
The Wang family is a relatively unique existence among these families.
There is only one reason, money!
Although opportunistic businessmen are despised by the upper class, they are fools if they don’t make money without making money. Well-known families also need to eat. Besides, having enough food is not just what they pursue. They look down on businessmen on the surface, but secretly use various means to make money.
No less.
But among these wealthy families, the Wang family is the only one who does business openly and to this extent.
No one knows how much money the Wang family has. They only know that their shops are open in almost all the states and counties in Jingguo, and they own the largest chamber of commerce in Jingguo. If you just throw some money around, you can kill a lot of people.
There are a lot of people who claim to be wealthy businessmen.
Even though the Li family is not short of money now, it is still far from being able to compare with such a behemoth.
If you have money, you have to keep a low profile.
This law does not apply to future generations, but it does apply here.
Such a, no, a big fat sheep attracts attention wherever it goes.
Money is needed to run the country, and money is also needed for rebellion. With the Wang family's money, there is an economic foundation for upper-level construction.
Of course, whether you want to rebel or govern the country, you can't openly rob it, as that will not be popular with the people. What's more, the Wang family is not a soft persimmon. In addition, the Wang family has always clung to the thigh of the royal family. If the country is in trouble, it will suffer disasters.
, the first to take the lead in donating money, actively exerting the influence of the family, and helping to implement various new decrees of the imperial court within the sphere of influence. He is simply a role model for the family and the staunchest ally of the old emperor.
This is also the main reason why the King of Shu always wants to get involved with the Wang family. Marriage between big families is not just about the two younger generations seeing eye to eye. They consider more political factors. Marriage means taking sides. If the King of Shu marries a direct descendant of the Wang family,
Female, it means that the Wang family has stood behind the King of Shu. With the leaders of the Cui family and the Wang family, the position of the East Palace cannot be more stable.
Speaking of which, there is a royal family behind the King of Shu. The Cui family is married to the Wang family. It can be said that they are well matched. Unfortunately, after picking the peaches for a long time, I failed to pick them, but someone stepped in and took the lead. The dream of the King of Shu to win over the Wang family was shattered.
, and from then on Li Xuan was regarded as a thorn in the flesh...
Li Yi glanced at Li Xuan, but he still hadn't figured out what the Wang family wanted in this guy.
After all, the Wang family is also a wealthy family, so it stands to reason that their vision should not be bad, but I have to say that the prince’s father’s vision for choosing a son-in-law is really not very good...
"Did your father-in-law ask you to come?" Li Yi looked at him and asked.
A hint of embarrassment appeared on Li Xuan's face, and he said: "The business of spirits, soaps, and perfumes has almost swept Kyoto this year, but we don't have enough human and financial resources to expand to other places. The Wang family wants to
Seeking cooperation, my father-in-law personally came to Shizi Mansion two days ago..."
The embarrassment on Li Xuan's face became even stronger. At certain times, his face was still a little thin, especially when he asked for help, it was a little difficult to speak.
Li Yi probably understood what he meant. It was just that the Wang family also took a fancy to this big cake and wanted to come in and get a share of it.
The profits here are so huge. Although my family now has numerous stores covering various industries, the bulk of the profits still come from these few businesses.
The Wang family's business is so big, how could it be possible that they don't have this kind of vision? It's not surprising that they have taken a fancy to these few businesses.
Of course, this is indeed a win-win situation for both parties.
Due to the lack of manpower, material and financial resources, the business that Li Yi, Li Xuan and Her Royal Highness the Princess had cooperated with could only occupy the Kyoto market if it failed.
Although the Wang family is capable, they lack core technology. This is the most critical. Without Li Yi's consent, they cannot intervene at all.
By cooperating with the Wang family and expanding the market, the money will definitely flow to the family in the future. Miss Liu Er is not afraid of losing her fortune no matter how much she spends, let alone spending one thousand taels in three days, spending ten thousand taels in three days - spending ten thousand taels in three days is enough.
Make her butt swell.
There will be more places to spend money in the future, so you can use your money to do more things.
In addition, it has also established a bond of interest with the Wang family. This relationship between families is stronger than the connection brought by marriage.
Of course, if the Crown Princess has any decent-looking older sisters, and the two families get married, adding an extra layer of ties on top of their interests, naturally, it is impossible to consider.
This matter does no harm to his family, not to mention that if Li Xuan asks, as long as it does not involve the bottom line, he will not refuse.
After all, this was the only person in the entire Jing Kingdom who would step in to help him instead of stopping him when he beat the King of Shu.
Li Yi nodded and said: "If you have time in the past two days, let the Wang family send someone over to discuss specific cooperation matters."
Li Xuan thought for a moment and said, "You don't need to consider me when it comes to the Wang family's affairs. It will be whatever it is."
He weighed it in his mind for a long time and finally made a decision.
"Okay, let them stop sending people here." Li Yi said simply.
"——"
"Pretend I didn't say it." Li Xuan stood up, the guilt in his heart disappeared without a trace, and walked out, "I will bring the Wang family over tomorrow."
"Wait a minute." Li Yi stopped him in time.
Li Xuan stepped out of the threshold with one foot and was ready to step out with the other foot at any time.
"Luochuan Wang family, did they sell apples before?" Li Yi looked at him and asked extremely curiously.
