The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

With the arrival of people and money, Li Shimin was not as shocked as when he saw Shitou before. He already knew how much money Li Fu had given him this time.

Even if he was shocked and confused, he would know everything after asking Li Fu.

As for the tea shop, Li Shimin also knew the news there.

Now, he had the Hundred Cavalry Division under his command, and he could not hide any movement in Chang'an City from him.

However, the Hundred Cavalry Division could not see the account book of the tea shop. They only knew that the tea shop was doing very well, with a constant flow of people, and people lined up to give money to the shop...

When he really knew that he could get 30% of the treasury, which was 78,000 strings of cash, he was shocked.

When he came to the outside of the Liangyi Hall, Li Shimin stood in the corridor, looking at the carriage on the open space outside and the wooden boxes loaded on the carriage.

Li Fu got off the carriage, walked quickly to Li Shimin, and bowed.

"Second brother, I brought the things to you." Li Fu smiled.

Li Shimin also smiled.

"Okay, okay." Li Shimin smiled and said, "Your work is not bad."

"It's just so-so, it's all because it's new." Li Fu said, "This thing is like furniture. When it first comes out, everyone thinks it's novel. After this wave of wind blows over, it will be difficult to have such a grand occasion again. However, it's not that we don't make money, but it's not so fast."

"Well, that makes sense." Li Shimin nodded, and then looked at Li Jiu: "Li Jiu, you take people to settle everything."

"Yes." Li Jiu bowed his hands and responded.

"By the way, second brother, after these money enters the treasury, please vacate the box for me. Although the things are not valuable, the carpenter workshop really has no time to make these things now." Li Fu said.

"Okay, vacate it and give it to you." Li Shimin responded unhappily.

The box of the King of Jingyang's family can't hold all the money now, right?

Okay, okay.

What are you still doing? You can take all the empty boxes in the palace, and it would be better if you fill them up before sending them back.

Li Shimin muttered in his heart.

But when he saw the carriage team outside and the boxes pulled by the carriages, his mood was quite bright.

This kid took out so much money from the national treasury, and today, he finally saw the money back.

In the future, it will get better and better.

However, after this trip, the money in the national treasury was not replenished, but the treasury was much richer.

It's really good.

The matter was handed over to Li Jiu, and Li Shimin and Li Fu entered the Liangyi Hall together and went to the side hall inside the hall.

Li Shimin sat at the top and asked the palace maid to serve tea.

Li Fu found a comfortable place for himself and nestled on the cushion.

In this side hall, there were no new and exotic furniture sent by Li Fu to the palace. The main reason was that Li Shimin often called one or two confidants to discuss political affairs here. Sitting on the ground like this shortened the distance between the monarch and his ministers, and it was convenient to discuss things, and it seemed closer.

Only when there were more people summoned, Li Shimin would meet those ministers in another side hall. In the side hall over there, there were all new furniture, a large long conference table in the middle, and armchairs on both sides. Li Shimin sat at the top, and at a glance, he could see the expressions of the ministers sitting on both sides.

"Tell me about the situation of your shop." Li Shimin said: "Although I know that your shop has a good business, I didn't expect it to be so good."

"They are all new things, which are rare, so many people come to buy them." Li Fu said: "You also enjoyed this tea, and it feels good."

Li Shimin heard this and nodded.

"Well, it's really good." Li Shimin said, "But I still feel that the 78,000 strings are a bit exaggerated. We gave 78,000 strings here, how much did the emperor give?"

"Fifty-two thousand strings." Li Fu said, "But the emperor is very calm, as expected of someone who has seen money."

"The emperor is very calm?" Li Shimin raised his eyebrows. Has his father reached that level?

"Yes, when I told the emperor, he didn't show anything. He thought it was not easy for me to come to Huizhou from afar to make such a deal, so he asked me to take care of myself more." Li Fu said with a smile.

The emperor is really caring.

"The two sides add up to 130,000 strings, which is exactly the same as the 130,000 strings you took from the treasury a year ago." Li Shimin said, "Fifty-five, that's a total of 260,000 strings."

After listening, Li Fu waved his hand happily.

"Brother, don't forget that I still have the cost. I went to Huizhou with 80,000 strings of cash. When I came back, I didn't have a penny left. This money must be deducted, and the remaining money will be counted asDividends. "Li Fu said.

Li Shimin was shocked.

Twenty-six thousand strings of cash, plus eighty thousand strings of cash.

Three hundred and forty thousand strings of cash?!!!!!!

It's faster than robbing money in a war!

Oh my God, what kind of a godly deal is this?

The key is that the wealthy families in Chang'an City are still happy to give money to Li Fu, without any reluctance, and rush to give money to Li Fu!

This is what surprised Li Shimin the most.

Okay, crying poor in the court, playing so wild in private, right?

They enjoy their money, and while enjoying it, they also think about profiting from the court treasury.

Those old ministers are really good ministers of the Tang Dynasty!

"There are so many?!" Li Shimin sighed: "How did you do this business? "

"It's simple. Since tea is a good thing, good things are naturally expensive. This batch of tea that my brother brought back from Huizhou was made into a batch of boxes by the carpenter's workshop. They were all wrapped up and put into exquisite boxes. The box of eight taels was sold for 188 guan, and a set of ordinary tea sets was given. The box of six taels was sold for 166 guan. Even at such a high price, the rich families in Chang'an City were flocking to it. "Li Fu smiled and said, "We are not afraid of the high price of things, but we are afraid that the quality is not good enough. The rich families are not short of money. What they want is face, taste and quality.

There is also a sense of comparison among them. As long as we grasp this point, are we afraid that they will not pay for it? ”

In the end, didn’t all the money flow into the pockets of the Li family?

It mainly flowed to him, the King of Jingyang, and the two emperors.

“Besides, the tea business also came out of the palace...”

“It didn’t come out of the palace.” Li Shimin interrupted Li Fu: “During the New Year, you promoted the tea with the help of General Cheng, and General Yuchi.”

“But it’s you and the emperor who made tea famous recently.” Li Fu laughed.
