The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

The chat was just to prepare him mentally, to let him know that these royal relatives of the side branches were no longer on their side. They were all separated and had to consider their own interests, not the interests of the entire Li Tang royal family.

Even if something happened in the future and the court wanted to punish them, it would be their own fault, and the emperor didn't need to be sad about it.

There were causes before and consequences after. These were all the causes and consequences they had planted themselves. Even if others considered them for them, they would not appreciate it, so why should they be sad about it?

Another point is that whether these princes who were divided out or other meritorious old ministers wanted to regain control of the government and do these things legitimately, there was only one way, that is, to support the emperor to restore the throne.

This was something that absolutely could not happen. Li Yuan did not want this, and Li Shimin did not want it even more.

How could they be allowed to be so presumptuous?

Whoever dares to do so will have to taste whether Li Shimin's sword is sharp.

"Many royal family members have a good relationship with you. At the beginning, Prince Changle said that if it weren't for your uncle's face, he would have done this and that. In fact, if you want to talk about who can control these royal family members, it has to be you." Li Fu said: "Don't look at you now saying that you don't care about the government and don't worry about political affairs, but in the hearts of those people, they have always been thinking about you, which is also a good thing. Your prestige is still the same as before."

Li Yuan smiled when he heard this.

"What a good thing." Li Yuan said helplessly.

Although he said so, the smile on his face did not diminish at all.

At least from this point of view, he is not a person who has left the tea cold. Those old friends still remember him and still miss his goodness.

It's good.

It's just that it is a bit disadvantageous to the current rule of the court.

It's not friendly to Erlang.

"If they are loyal to the court and work hard for the court and the people, then thinking of you, the emperor, is a good thing. But if they have other thoughts and only care about you because of their own interests, then they are simply using your name to do things for their own selfishness. In this way, they don't consider your reputation." Li Fu said: "So this matter, nephew, I think, should be managed."

"How can I manage this? You know that I have made it very clear what should be said to the public. "Li Yuan said: "These people, if they are for their own interests, they will not be satisfied until the day of disaster. People are greedy, so now I don't care about anything. If someone really does something in my name, let Erlang deal with them. The name of the royal family and the name of the emperor are not tools for them to make profits. Don't worry about any opinions from an old man like me. I am this age, most of my life, I have experienced everything, and when I am old, I also want to give myself Keep a good reputation."

"That's right, uncle, you are now clear-headed." Li Fu gave Li Yuan a thumbs up: "Thinking it through, your mood will naturally be better. After I left Chang'an, did you go to the manor to relax?"

Li Yuan shook his head: "Where is the time? Besides, you are not at the manor, so it's boring for me to go. The people serving around are all trembling with fear. It's boring, really boring."

"My nephew is back now, you are always welcome to walk around the manor." Li Fu smiled He said, "Besides, my nephew brought back a lot of tea from Huizhou this time. Just watch how my nephew's people will enrich your treasury for you."

"Hahahaha." Li Yuan laughed loudly: "You kid, you really have some talent in this aspect. Well, well, then I will wait and see how your people will make great achievements in Chang'an City."

The next day, Li Fu stayed in the study in his house all day. He drew a few pictures on the paper in front of him. In addition, on the paper next to him, there were a few big characters written in a flamboyant style.

Black tea, green tea, flower tea.

These six characters were written by Li Fu for the emperor to make engravings in the future and used on the packaging of first-level tea.

There are also a few similar characters that Li Fu asked Li Shimin to write, which will be used on the packaging of second-level tea.

Li Shimin couldn't argue with Li Yuan about this thing. Who is the father and who is the son? The generation is clear.

Li Fu's ordinary calligraphy was used on the third-grade tea.

As for the other lower-grade teas, they were not important.

Tea below the fifth grade did not need to be packaged, and was sold in bulk so that the people of Chang'an could also drink it.From now on.

Whether it is the high-end market, the mid-end market, or the low-end market, Li Fu wants to monopolize it.

With two emperors standing behind him, this monopoly business can be done!

Li Fu spent a day drawing the packaging of tea, and also set the price of tea, as well as other packaging.

Not only the oil paper package, but also the wooden box, the first-class tea, even the wooden box used for packaging, are made of high-quality wood.

Even the commemorative or collector's editions have to use precious wood.

From the beginning, Li Fu planned to empty the pockets of the rich in Chang'an City.

The door of the study was knocked.

"Come in." Li Fu responded.

Lao Zhao walked in from outside.

"My dear, the tea shop in Chang'an City has been cleaned up, and the guys have been waiting in advance, just waiting for our goods to be put on the shop." Lao Zhao said.

"Are the boxes I asked them to make in the carpenter's workshop ready?" Li Fu asked.

"Yes, it has been delivered to the tea shop now." Lao Zhao said, "Now the guys are packaging the tea according to your instructions."

"Well, the first batch of tea, remember what I said, don't put too much stock, good things are precious, take them all out at once, it seems that our things are worthless." Li Fu said, "Take these drawings and make engravings according to the size of the box. The Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon, and we have to prepare special supplies for the Dragon Boat Festival."

"Yes." Lao Zhao responded.

In the backyard of the tea shop, the guys were packaging tea in exquisite wooden boxes.

"Just this box of first-grade tea can be sold for 188 strings of cash? God, will anyone really buy it?"

Another guy laughed and said, "Brother, you don't know anything about the nobles in Chang'an City. I heard that after the New Year, the rich and powerful in the city are crazy about this kind of tea in our shop and are asking around."
