In the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan beat Li Shimin at the beginning

Chapter 66
Outside, gongs and drums blared and colorful flags fluttered.The carriages lined up one after the other, forming a long queue that could not be seen at a glance.

In front of the convoy, there was a luxurious sedan chair, on which the head of the Wei family was sitting in formal attire, with the door curtains open, looking cheerful, approaching the Shu Palace.

That way, those who didn't know thought they were here to pick up the bride!
The sedan chair came to the gate of the Shu Palace, and the head of the Wei family saw Li Chengqian, and the sedan chair settled down.

The Patriarch of the Wei family immediately jumped off the sedan chair, came to Li Chengqian, cupped his hands and said to Li Chengqian, "Wei Zhengan has seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Li Chengqian hurriedly stepped forward to support him and said, "Patriarch Wei doesn't need to be polite, come here, please come here."

Li Chengqian was really happy.

The Patriarch of the Wei family did what he wanted.

The more lively he is, the more people know about it, the more people will donate money.Therefore, the bigger the battle they made, the happier Li Chengqian was.

The Patriarch of the Wei family quickly said: "His Royal Highness, you are welcome, I came here today because I heard that the imperial court is going to build a reservoir, which is a major event that benefits the country and the people.

As a big family, our Wei family should do something for the folks and the common people.Therefore, I sent 40 yuan to help the court and the people build reservoirs. "

Li Chengqian's eyes widened when he heard 40 guan.

My God, these big families are really rich!

Li Chengqian bowed deeply to Patriarch Wei and said, "Patriarch Wei, you are so generous. Here, on behalf of His Majesty and the people of the whole country, thank you Patriarch Wei.

Patriarch Wei, your Wei family are really kind people!Your good name will surely last forever. "

"Where is where? What should be done, what should be done. Your Royal Highness, there is no need to be too modest."

The head of the Wei family hurriedly said humbly.

Li Chengqian said: "No and no, this is the truth!"

The head of the Wei family didn't want to talk nonsense with him here. Although Li Chengqian is the prince, he is also a junior.To be honest, his status as the head of the Wei family is not very equivalent.

The Patriarch of the Wei family is 65 years old this year, and his seniority is here. Only when he sees Li Yuan will he have the intention of interacting on an equal footing.

Even Li Shimin is only a junior.Even if you become the emperor, you are still a junior.

No way, in this era, the concept of seniority is so high.

In fact, the royal family is just a big family in their eyes.

As the saying goes, a thousand-year-old family, a flowing dynasty.

In their concept, they ruled the world together with the Li family.

Therefore, although they are in awe of the royal family, they are not very afraid.

Therefore, the Patriarch of the Wei family didn't want to talk too much with Li Chengqian, a kid here, as it would be demeaning.

Then he said: "His Royal Highness, please send someone out to receive it!"

Li Chengqian didn't want to bully him here, as long as he had money.

He immediately said: "Okay, okay, Patriarch Wei, please wait a moment."

Then, immediately arrange for someone to come out and count the money.

In fact, this job is not difficult to do, just open the box and look, it is sure that there is money in it, and then count how much money is in a box?Then open each box to have a look, and count how many boxes there are, that's all.

The Wei family is a powerful family with a reputation.If you count them one after another, it will be a bit of a slap in the face.

Therefore, the work of counting the money was quickly completed.Boxes of Kaiyuan Tongbao were moved into the Shu Palace.

From the beginning to the end, Li Ke did not show up.It is enough to have His Royal Highness come forward.

In people's minds, he is just a fool, and people don't care about him.He doesn't want to fight for the throne and it's impossible for him to fight for the throne, and Patriarch Wei doesn't want to have much contact with him.

Going home after the handover was done, the Patriarch of the Wei family boarded the sedan chair again.Beat the gongs and drums again, and left.

On the way back, the head of the Wei family and his party saw the Du family's convoy.

Like him, the Patriarch of the Du family was sitting in a luxurious sedan chair, followed by an endless motorcade behind him.

The head of the Du family sat on the sedan chair, nodded with a smile on his face, and waved to the people on both sides of the street.

It was exactly the same as when Wei Zhengan came.

When the two sedan chairs met, the two sides bowed their hands and saluted from a distance, which was regarded as a greeting.

Then, the two teams passed each other just like that.

In Shu Palace, Li Ke was still sitting there, drinking tea calmly.

Li Chengqian rushed in like a gust of wind.

"Haha, third brother, come, come, give me a cup of tea."

Li Chengqian poured a cup of tea and took a sip.

"what……"

"That's great, the Wei family sent us 40 yuan, haha, we have enough money to build two reservoirs.

Haha, third brother, your method is really good, great, great, I have confidence now. "

Li Ke was sitting there, and the old god said, "Calm down, calm down, the best show is yet to come!"

The two talked there for a while, and Liu Hong hurried in again.

Excitedly shouted: "His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness King Shu, the Du family's motorcade is here."

Li Chengqian's eyes brightened again.

"Are you here to donate again?"

Liu Hong said: "It's exactly the same as the Wei family's battle just now."

"Okay, great."

This time, Li Chengqian calmed down and walked out slowly.

Yes, there is no such violent wave as when we greeted the Patriarch of the Wei family just now.

After half an hour, Li Chengqian came back again.

He could no longer suppress the excitement in his heart, and asked, "Third brother, guess how much money the Du family sent this time?"

Li Ke thought for a while and said, "How do I know this?"

Li Chengqian said: "Guess, you know what I want you to guess?"

Li Ke said: "I guess, then 50 guan!"

Li Chengqian's eyes widened immediately, and he asked in surprise, "How did you know? Did someone tell you just now?"

Li Ke shook his head lightly and said, "Brother, don't underestimate these aristocratic families. Among these aristocratic families, who can be ranked first, who hasn't experienced thousands of years and accumulated wealth for thousands of years?
It is not too much to say that these aristocratic families are as rich as an enemy.Hundreds of thousands may be a lot for us, but for them, it is just a drop in the bucket. "

That's right, this is the family of this era.Through years of accumulation, they have accumulated countless wealth.

Once the troubled times come, it is possible that they will be the royal family.Anyway, the emperor will definitely be born in their big family.

This is called a crowd of heroes competing for the stag.

In this era, the rich are as rich as the country, and the poor can't even eat enough and have nothing to wear.There are many boys and girls running around naked in the street.

After listening to Li Ke's words, Li Chengqian's excitement suddenly disappeared.He nodded and said, "Yes! Our royal family is too poor."

Li Ke nodded and said: "Yes! To be an emperor, you must not only learn to be an emperor, but also learn to make money. Only when you have money in your pocket can you speak confidently! Brother, work hard!"
