The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

But who is Li Fu? He is a prince of the Tang Dynasty. If he wants to get some advanced technology and eat some good salt, he can just talk to Li Shimin about it.

There is no need to do illegal things secretly, so as to avoid buying a large amount of salt from the government, reprocessing it in the workshop, and then being reported by others.

In order to avoid this trouble, he still has to say hello.

Moreover, buying a large amount of salt is not an easy thing.

So, this matter still needs to be discussed with Li Shimin.

Li Fu forgot about it and only thought about getting the brewing recipe of soy sauce. As a result, he got stuck at the first step.

"Ma Shisan." Li Fu called.

"I am here." Ma Shisan bowed and responded.

"Don't worry about the soy sauce workshop here." Li Fu said: "I originally planned to replace the original paper workshop with the workshop next door, but now I'm not in a hurry."

"Wait a minute about the soy sauce. The salt we bought now cannot be used directly. We have to make it into refined salt."

"Refined salt?" Ma Shisan was stunned for a moment.

They bought large pieces of rock salt. Because it was cheap, they thought they could just crush it and use it like the egg-changing workshop next door.

"Find someone here immediately. I want to renovate the workshop next door." Li Fu said.

After that, he ran to the account room of the workshop. There were already four treasures of the study in it. He needed to take advantage of this time to record his thoughts in his mind and then hand them over to Ma Shisan to deal with.

Get it out as soon as possible, and then go to the palace to find Li Shimin before Laba Festival.

Because there will be activities in the palace on Laba Festival.

Every year on Laba Festival, the emperor led the court officials to winter hunt.

In addition, before the twelfth lunar month, Li Fu still had things to do in Chang'an City.

The first thing was the relocation of the emperor. The palace would certainly not quietly let the emperor move from Taiji Hall to Da'an Palace. They would choose an auspicious day for the emperor to move.

Since Da'an Palace was already habitable, Li Fu would have to dig money from the national treasury to his home.

His men hurriedly wrote two pieces of paper and handed them to Ma Shisan.

"The other workshop should be modified according to this." Li Fu said, "The sooner the better."

If this is done, the two workshops will start production next year.

But there is no rush.

Because the salt issue is the top priority.

"Yes." Ma Shisan responded.

After the workshop was built, Li Fu came to inspect it. At the last minute, he remembered these problems, so Ma Shisan still had to continue working.

The egg-changing workshop is still mainly supplying restaurants in Chang'an City, and also sending gifts to the palace. The output has been distributed.

However, as more and more people in the villages raise chickens and ducks, the output will be increased in the future with more raw materials.

Li Fu returned home from the workshop and asked Xiao Tao to pack up. He was going back to Chang'an.

He stayed in the manor for a long time this time, about one and a half months.

It's time to go back to Chang'an.

After things are done, I will go back to the manor to spend the winter.

The house in Chang'an City was rewarded to him by Li Yuan. It was comfortable to live in in summer, but in winter, the weather was cold and the house relied on charcoal basins for heating.

But the house in the manor was different. Li Fu's house could burn ground dragons, and he slept on the kang in the east room of the yard in winter, which was warm at night.

In summer, they sleep in the bed in the north bedroom, and in winter, they move to the east room to sleep on the kang, so nothing is delayed.

Xiao Tao received his instructions and was packing a few things to take with her in the room.

"My dear, are we leaving today or tomorrow?" Xiao Tao asked.

Li Fu pondered for a while, and it was just a little after noon.

"Let's leave today." Li Fu said.

It's so cold, even if we leave tomorrow, we have to wait until noon.

"By the way, take two jars of refined salt from the kitchen." Li Fu said.

"Ah?" Xiao Tao was stunned: "My dear, we don't lack salt in our house in Chang'an City."

"Those are reserved for our own consumption. I have other uses for these two jars." Li Fu said.

"Oh, okay, I'll ask Wu Liangye to go to the kitchen to get two jars and put them in the carriage first." Xiao Tao responded quickly.

It didn't take long for Li Fu to pack up and lead them to Chang'an City from the manor.

The first thing he did when he returned to the mansion was to ask Xiao Tao to put the two jars of salt in the study, and then he asked the servants in the mansion to call the housekeeper Lao Zhao and ask him to come to the study to see him.

Lao Zhao came quickly and entered the study.

"My dear, do you have something to tell me?"

"LaoZhao, contact the people in Chang'an City. "Li Fu said: "I want to buy two Kunlun slaves."

"Kunlun slaves? Are you going to buy them and put them in our house to do work?" Old Zhao asked.

He was thinking, but the people in the house did not work to the satisfaction of the young master?

Li Fu shook his head.

"I want to give them to people." Li Fu smiled and said: "In addition, prepare some generous gifts, about ten or so, and send a letter to Yan Shaojian, saying that I want to invite him to Keyue Tower on the 27th."

"Also, prepare another letter to Pei Shangshu of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, on the 28th, to invite him and his colleagues in the Ministry of Civil Affairs to have dinner at Keyue Tower. ”

After Li Shimin ascended the throne, the reign title could not be changed until next year, so the taboo has not been changed yet.

The Ministry of Civil Affairs is still the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and the Minister of State Pei Shiju is not Pei Ju yet.

In addition, Pei Ju’s surname is Pei, and he is a member of the Pei family, but the relationship between Pei Ju and Pei Ji is like the relationship between Henan and the Netherlands.

Li Fu simply gave him instructions, and as for how to write the post, that was up to Lao Zhao.

Li Yuan did not live in Da'an Palace, and Li Fu's project money was still in the treasury.

Now that things have been settled, Li Fu should collect the money.

After all, it is the end of the year, and the twelfth lunar month is about to begin.

There is no reason not to settle the accounts before the end of the year.

But to settle the accounts, it does not mean that Li Fu will hold the account book and ask Li Shimin for it.

It is possible to get it, but business must be done for the long term...

"Yes. "Old Zhao responded.

After listening to his husband's words, he also understood what he meant.

Before the New Year, the house must have a very large income.

Old Zhao was also secretly happy.

Compared with this money, the workshop was just a small matter...

Old Zhao thought that he had to put the warehouse in the house in order and clean the cellar again, otherwise he would have no place to put the money after getting it back...

"For the dinner parties on the 27th and 28th, you should inform Ke Yue Lou in advance. In addition, after having lunch at Ke Yue Lou, you should also arrange the afternoon activities in advance." Li Fu said: "Just... go to Pingkangfang and arrange everything in advance."
