The brothers who traveled westward in those years

Chapter 1390 0097, Garden of Ten Thousand Gardens
Li Xiuyuan sighed, and said, "Okay, okay, you can do whatever you want, but let me remind you, what I don't like the most is waste. Don't make any fools, just fix what I have. .”

Li Xiuyuan wanted to put the ugly words first, the purpose was to prevent Li Ziyan from having any unexpected surprises.Their family is not short of money, but if they are not short of money, they can't spend it like this.Of course, he had already sent a message to the great monk during the meal to communicate with the Li family about the favor he owed the great monk.

Twenty years ago, Li Ziyan was only four or five years old at that time, and Li Ziyan's father was an honest worker.Her mother had always wanted to start a business, so she raised a sum of money by imitating others, and went to the south alone to inspect the market.If the market inspection is almost done, she also plans to advance a batch of goods to sell in the north.

Not long after arriving in the south, Li Ziyan's mother got acquainted with a local businessman, who led Li Ziyan's mother to many places, which really benefited Li Ziyan's mother a lot.

Later, at that person's suggestion, Li Ziyan's mother signed a contract with a clothing factory.According to the contract, the factory will provide her with the source of goods at a price lower than two-thirds of the market price, and ship the goods to the north in batches on a monthly basis.

Li Ziyan's mother paid the deposit with all the money she had on her body, and then planned to take the train back to the north.While waiting for the train at the train station, I met a great monk who was waiting for the train at the train station.

Li Ziyan's mother gave the monk her water, and the monk chatted with her.After learning the purpose and process of her coming to the south, the great monk immediately took Li Ziyan's mother away from the train station.

Because he saw the loopholes in the contract, or it was an unfair contract at all.Because the contract clearly stipulates the time for delivery of the balance, but does not indicate the specific time of delivery.

In other words, the other party could delay the delivery time indefinitely, but Li Ziyan's mother had to pay the balance on time, otherwise it would be considered a breach of contract.According to the stipulations in the contract, a breach of contract requires a penalty of three times the contract transaction amount.

In order to stabilize the opponent, the great monk took out all the money on his body.Then they went to find the businessman together with Li Ziyan's mother, and then the businessman took them to the garment factory. Finally, on the grounds of increasing the purchase volume, they got back the deposit they had paid earlier from the other party, and signed the original agreement. The contracts were all destroyed.

Before signing the new contract, the great monk asked Li Ziyan's mother to pay the other party a deposit, which was about one-third of the original deposit, and agreed to sign a new contract within three days.The transaction volume has tripled compared to before, and the deposit will naturally triple.

But the other party never expected that during these three days, the great monk not only found a new partner for Li Ziyan's mother.Moreover, a contract with full legal efficiency was signed, and through the legal counsel of this factory, the deposit given to those people was recovered.

It was because of that incident that Li Ziyan's mother gradually started a clothing business.It is precisely because of the great monk's generosity that Li Ziyan's mother started much faster than ordinary people.

In just five years, it has won the entire northern market, and in less than 20 years it has become the leading clothing giant in the north.Billions of taxes are paid every year, and tens of billions of net profits are realized.And these years, Li Ziyan's mother has been doing one thing, that is, looking for the great monk who once helped her.

Without the help of the great monk back then, there would be no Li Group today.That's why she told her daughter that even if the apprentice of the great monk wanted to be the son-in-law of the Li family, she would agree.

Sitting in Li Ziyan's sports car, Li Xiuyuan said: "Since you want to follow me so much, then give me a free tour guide. Let's go to the Yuanmingyuan and the Summer Palace first. I have been in the Imperial Capital for so long, and I haven't gone there yet. pass."

Li Ziyan nodded slightly, then gently started the car, and slowly drove out of the parking lot towards the direction of the two gardens.Even though she grew up in the imperial capital, the number of times she went to the two gardens is also very few.

Covering an area of ​​290 hectares, the Summer Palace was first built in 1750 AD, that is, the 15th year of Qianlong's reign.

The main scenic spots in the park are Suzhou Street, Longevity Hill, Wisdom Sea, Buddha Incense Pavilion, Baoyun Pavilion, Paiyun Palace, Kunming Lake, Painting Middle Tour, Listening Oriole Hall, Leshou Hall, Grand Theater Building, Renshou Hall, Wenchang Courtyard , Wenchang Pavilion, the Seventeen-Arch Bridge, and the Four Continents.

The Summer Palace was built by Qianlong to honor his mother, costing more than 400 million taels of silver.If it is calculated according to the current purchasing power, more than 400 million taels of silver is more than [-] million.

The pavilions, terraces, pavilions, small bridges and flowing water not only have the ancient style and charm, but also have the beauty of winding paths leading to seclusion.Li Xiuyuan walked in the Summer Palace, which can be regarded as experiencing a royal garden.

After walking inside for more than two hours, Li Xiuyuan left the Summer Palace and went straight to the Old Summer Palace.

The Old Summer Palace covers an area of ​​350 hectares, and there are no less than 150 famous scenic spots alone, so it is known as the Garden of Ten Thousand Gardens.

The Old Summer Palace, built in 1709, was originally a garden given to his fourth son Yongzheng by Kangxi.After Yongzheng succeeded to the throne, the garden was improved and expanded. After Qianlong succeeded to the throne, the Yuanmingyuan was improved and expanded again. The same is true for Jiaqing.Until Guangxu succeeded to the throne, the national strength of the Qing Dynasty gradually declined.

Even so, he would rather withdraw the furnishings of Wanshou, Xiangshan, and Yuquan, and give up Rehe for summer vacation and Mulan hunting, rather than give up the improvement and expansion of Yuanmingyuan.

In 1860, the Old Summer Palace suffered the biggest damage and burning since its construction.After Tongzhi succeeded to the throne, he wanted to restore the Old Summer Palace, but the country was weak and unable to do so.

Before Yongzheng, the Old Summer Palace was just an inconspicuous gift garden, that is, a very ordinary garden.Speaking of its glorious past, one person has to be mentioned, that is Aixinjueluo Hongli, Emperor Gaozong of the Qing Dynasty.In this way, perhaps many people don't know who Qing Gaozong is, but his other celebrity is well known, and that is Qianlong.

Qianlong's reputation is very great. Some people say that he is not inferior to Qin Huang, Han Wu, Tang Zong, Song Zu, nor inferior to his grandfather, Emperor Kangxi who is known as the eternal emperor.

In fact, Qianlong was luckier than Kangxi.During Kangxi's reign, Pingding conquered Mongolia three times and opened up the territory to make the precarious Qing Dynasty stand for 300 years.

Kangxi opened up the territory and expanded the territory, and Yongzheng recuperated. When Qianlong succeeded to the throne, what was left to him was a rich and powerful Qing Dynasty.

Gardens are the culmination of Chinese classical literature and art. A famous garden often combines the essence of architecture, literature, calligraphy, and painting art.It is the garden that gives art a habitat, and art gives the garden a soul.
