The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

Li Fu was talking while Li Yuan was thinking.

In fact, it was a very simple truth.

Li Yuan thought about it briefly and understood what Li Fu said, and also understood the links in it.

In a word, the tea house in the local area has brought real benefits to the people.

Moreover, the money earned by the tea house has not only brought benefits to the people, but also to the royal family.

"I have some impression of Huizhou. As you said, there are more mountains there. But as you said, the existence of the tea house really brings extra opportunities for the local people to make money." Li Yuan stroked his beard and said, "This is a good thing."

"You said that the tea house has grown from nothing to more than 3,000 people in a year. In the future, if the business is bigger, how many people will it take?" Li Fu said, "Let me tell you the truth. Just this, my nephew is already panicking enough. All these things add up. Come, that's more than 3,500 people, plus the staff of the post station over there, nearly 4,000 people, and this is the case when the caravan has not yet fully developed. "

"Now my nephew can still run it like this, also because most of the people in the caravan are from my second brother, and there are many of my second brother's people in it, so my nephew dares to do it, otherwise, my nephew can't do this business at all."

If it is said that there are no people from Li Shimin in this business, Li Fu will be more afraid. With Li Shimin's people, Li Fu will feel at ease, and this business will be safe.

Moreover, the more people Li Shimin puts in it, the more at ease Li Fu will feel.

First of all, these people in it will not hinder Li Fu from making money.

Secondly, Li Shimin is also at ease, because he has so many people in it, and they are all watching.

Finally, the emperor has put people in it, perhaps openly or secretly, so if there are other people thinking about it, Li Fu will not have a headache for it.

Such a profitable business, the emperor has to pay more attention to it.

"Don't think too badly of your second brother, this matter..." Li Yuan didn't care: "Isn't I involved in this matter?"

"That's why I said it." Li Fu spread his hands: "With you here and my second brother here, I dared to let my people do their best in this year."

Li Yuan smacked his lips twice and looked at Li Fu seriously.

"How much money can this business make in the future?" Li Yuan asked.

Li Fu thought for a while, and then said: "Uncle, I'll tell you the truth, I can't even think about the tea business. It hasn't spread all over the Tang Dynasty yet. Many merchants want to do this business and are now talking to the tea houses. The tea houses have just increased their tea production, but it's still far from enough. With the current scale, when the first batch of tea comes down next spring, there will definitely be millions of guan by the end of the year."

"In the future, when the scale continues to expand and can meet the needs of more places, the tea market in the entire Tang Dynasty will be at least tens of millions of guan, not counting the Hu merchants in the Western Regions, which are also the big ones."

"Hiss~~" Li Yuan took a breath.

The three children sat aside and listened carefully.

They only had a vague understanding of what Li Fu said, but they also knew that the tea business would make a lot of money in the future. It would make so much money that Uncle Wang was unsure and scared.

Oh my God, how much money would that be?

According to Li Fu's idea, in the future, half of this money will belong to the palace, so wouldn't it be catching up with the tax revenue of the court?

Li Yuan was comparing the current tax revenue with the big picture of the future painted by Li Fu.

"Before, my nephew talked to my second brother about the issue of collecting tea tax." Li Fu said, "My second brother refused and said that it was not the right time."

Li Yuan nodded slightly.

"Your second brother is right, but I also know that you are thinking about the court and our Li family. Child, you have this heart, which is the most precious." Li Yuan looked at Li Fu with a look of relief.

"My nephew can have today, all thanks to your uncle. If you hadn't recognized my nephew at the beginning, my nephew would be just a commoner now, and there would be no status and position now. Everything in the Jingyang Wang Mansion is a castle in the air." Li Fu said.

He was sincerely grateful to Li Yuan in his heart.

If there was no Li Yuan, what would it matter if he was Li Hong's son?

If no one recognized him, he would not have this status.

Only Li Yuan can recognize him. Others, even if they see him as familiar, will not do this.

After all, Li Yuan is now old. If it is not by chance, the two of them may not meet...

If Li Yuan is really gone, or becomes the emperor, leaving the palace will become a luxury, then Li Fu's identity will be buried forever among the people.

At this time,There was a knock on the door.

"Come in." Li Fu answered.

The shop assistant pushed open the door and entered the tea room. He held a tray with cakes in his hand.

Two people followed behind him, also carrying tea and cakes.

The three came in and placed the tea and cakes on the table in the room.

After the greeting, they left the tea room and closed the door.

"The fate between people is very mysterious." Li Yuan recalled the time when he went to Jingyang County: "It was as if everything had been arranged by God.

At that time, Pei San said that a thunderclap on the farm brought auspicious signs. I didn't believe it at first. It was just an excuse to go out of the palace for a walk, so I accepted Pei San's invitation and went to his farm together.

Originally, after seeing his farm, I was about to return to the palace. You said, I just saw the beautiful scenery around at that time and wanted to go to his farm. I was going to go for a walk, so I met you, didn't I? "

Li Yuan smiled and said, "In fact, I also saw the auspicious sign that Pei San mentioned. It was a trick that Pei San made to make me happy. However, he was willing to spend time to make me happy, so I pretended to be confused, and everyone was happy.

It was also thanks to him that he made such a scene, otherwise, I would not have seen you. "

Li Yuan heard that there was a conflict between Li Fu and Pei Ji, so he thought that if there was no deep hatred between the two, there would be no need to confront each other.

When Pei Ji was with him in Da'an Palace, Li Fu came to Da'an Palace. Li Yuan saw their words and deeds, including their expressions.

If it was just a friction over grabbing water in the manor, it would have passed now.

The people Li Yuan sent out to investigate only said that the two manors often had fights over grabbing water, and did not tell Li Yuan that Li Fu had personally participated in it and was injured.

Li Fu understood what Li Yuan meant.

He just smiled helplessly.

A smile to end all grudges?

That's absolutely impossible.

This involves a murder case.
