The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

After the money was divided, the palace had to be notified to send people quickly. Last time, the palace staff was borrowed. Oh, yes, there were also wooden boxes.

This time, the people from the palace came, so they should not come empty-handed. Bring the empty boxes from last time, or bring more, otherwise they can't fit.

Li Fu even used all the unused sacks at home.

That's not enough.

In addition to copper coins, there are also some silks this time.

Silks can also be circulated and traded on the market, as well as silk.

Anyway, these good things, each of them can be divided and stuffed into the palace.

My own place is small and can't accommodate so many things, but the palace is large, large and empty, and it is perfect for these vulgar things.

Two days later, Lao Zhao told Li Fu that the money had been divided, but because there was no place to put it, when it was moved out of the warehouse, it occupied the courtyards of two guest rooms.

Now it is all placed in the houses in the two courtyards.

If it is to be transported, there will definitely not be enough manpower at home.

Li Fu smiled.

At this time, it is time for Shitou to make a shining appearance.

"Old Zhao, go find Shitou and ask him to go to the palace to see His Majesty. Let His Majesty arrange the rest." Li Fu smiled and said, "Remember to remind His Majesty to send more people and horses, and bring boxes. We don't have enough boxes at home."

"Yes." Old Zhao held back his laughter and bowed his hands in response.

He didn't feel sorry for the money taken out for the master. He didn't know how to spend the money at home. In addition to the business at home, he couldn't spend it all in three lifetimes.

When Shitou received this task, he had no pressure after the experience of the last time, and even felt more relaxed.

That was an opportunity to be confident in front of His Majesty. Just thinking about it made him excited and happy.

His Majesty has such a good temper.

Shitou happily rode his horse to the palace.

After a while, Shitou came back, and then a large group of people came to the gate of Jingyang Wang's house.

This time, the Jinwu Guards from the palace came again, and the number of people was more than doubled compared to the last time.

Seeing such a big scene, people on the street thought something had happened. After the team passed by, they began to whisper in the back.

"What happened in Chang'an City again? Why are so many Jinwu Guards dispatched?"

"They are also driving a carriage, and there are so many boxes on the carriage."

"Wow, there must be a lot of good things in the box, right?"

"You see, you have no experience, right? If the box is filled with good things, the wheels will be heavy and it won't run so easily. I guess there is not much in it, or the things in the box are very light."

This aroused the curiosity of many people.

At the gate of the Jingyang Prince's residence, as before, people lined up to load money onto the cart. Old Zhao called all the Jinwu Guards to the yard to help with the work.

If we only rely on the people in the house to move the money, how long will it take to move it?

The carriage came easily and left heavily.

Li Fu stood on the steps outside, greeted the leader, and sent them away.

"My dear, it's time for you to set off to the palace." Old Zhao said, "I have already greeted the Jinwu Guards. The money for His Majesty will be sent directly to Taiji Palace, and the money for the Emperor will be sent to Da'an Palace."

"That's right." Li Fu showed a satisfied smile on his face and praised Old Zhao.

"I learned all this from you, my dear." Old Zhao also showed a tacit smile on his face.

Old Zhao waved his hand behind him, and the servants behind him hurried to the house. Soon, the family's groom owed a horse, left the house from the side door, and sent the horse to the main gate.

Li Fu rode the horse to the palace.

In Da'an Palace, Li Yuan had a ruddy face and an excited expression. He was playing mahjong with three other old ministers. He was lucky today. They sat here after breakfast in the morning.

By now, there was a lot of money piled up around Li Yuan.

Li Yuan disliked that a big coin was too small, but if it was a coin, it would be troublesome to pile up too much money, so he simply ordered the craftsman to cast some different "money".

Unlike copper plates, these newly cast "money" by Li Yuan had no holes in the middle, but were engraved with different characters.

There were copper, silver, and gold.

He cast these coins just to make it easier to measure and use them when playing mahjong.

There are three types of copper coins. The small ones have the number 10 engraved on them, representing 10 coins. The medium ones have the number 20 engraved on them, and the large ones have the number 50 engraved on them.

There are also three types of silver coins: one with the number 100, one with the number 500, and the last one with the number 1,000.

Gold is more precious and generally not used, but Li Yuan also prepared some, including 2,000, 5,000, and 10,000 coins.

At mostThe ten thousand is ten thousand, which is counted as ten strings.

In this way, there is no need to bring so many copper coins to get in the way.

It is much more convenient to play mahjong with the ministers.

These coins are only circulated on the card table of Da'an Palace. If you take them out, they are just ordinary copper, silver and gold.

At that time, whether you win or lose, the emperor will exchange the money. In Da'an Palace, the emperor even set up an accountant specifically for playing mahjong, who is here to exchange money.

Come, it's time to go to the card table, it's easy, go to the accountant first, sign a note, and exchange chips.

At that time, the money on the note will be sent to Da'an Palace.

No one dares to default on the debt with the emperor.

Not to mention, sitting down to play mahjong together, people of such age, can still be shameless?

Don't go to the card table if you don't have money.

The place where the emperor played mahjong was also changed. In the past, it was in the side hall. When he wanted to play, he just asked someone to bring the table over.

Now, a side hall has been specially vacated. It is tidied up comfortably, with tea, pastries, and everything else. There are also musicians playing music next to it.

Although it is very cold, there is a floor heating in the hall. It was specially added by Li Fu and Yan Lide when they rebuilt the Da'an Palace. The emperor is old and can't stand the cold.

Therefore, the hall is warm now. It is warm even if you step on the floor with shoes and socks.

Li Fu took off his thick boots at the door and walked into the hall with shoes and socks.

The eunuchs waiting at the door hurriedly closed the door after Li Fu entered the hall.

"Uncle, I'm busy." Li Fu greeted Li Yuan as usual.

Li Yuan looked back at Li Fu, only glanced at him, and his attention returned to the card table, but he just responded to Li Fu's words.

"I'm an old man, there's nothing to do. I'm just playing mahjong." Li Yuan said with a smile.

I'm in a particularly good mood today.

"You can find a place to sit down and wait for me to finish this round." Li Yuan said, "I'm in good luck."

"Okay, you go ahead." Li Fu said with a smile.
