Tang Dynasty good father-in-law

Chapter 46 Lingnan, doubts

The number on the ledger surprised Shu An a little, because the income of the restaurant was really quite a lot.

A pot of tea costs 10 Wen, and every pastry or snack costs the same price. Everyone will spend at least 30 Wen to enter the teahouse.

You must know that a bucket of rice is less than five cents, and a bucket of rice weighs more than 12 catties, which is enough for ordinary people to eat for several days.

The gap between the rich and the poor can be seen from this, but Shu An didn't get too entangled in this point, because the teahouse at least receives hundreds of people a day, sometimes even two or three hundred people.

If you take the average and count the profits, you can earn thirty to forty per day on average, not including the tea sold.

You should know that teahouses are full of new tea now, and new tea is only sold here, and there are endless people coming to buy new tea every day.

With the rise of teahouses all over the world, it is conceivable that there are only a lot of people who buy new tea, even now there are dozens of income per day on average.

Adding the two together, the income of the teahouse is also full of hundreds of guan a day, which can be described as daily progress.

A month's income is a full three thousand guan, and a year is [-] guan. It is necessary to know how much the annual tax of Datang is now.

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, all kinds of wastes were prosperous, and the dynasty was newly established, and the world was amnesty, and all kinds of taxes were even lower, only a few million guan a year.

After deducting the disaster relief and the expenses required by various departments, there are only a few hundred thousand yuan left in the national treasury for a year.

Although the whole world belongs to the Li family, it doesn't mean that Huangzhuang's income is good. In terms of business, the Li Tang royal family, whose ancestors have always been a scholar, is not as good as those aristocratic families.

Just look at Li Shimin's last reward, five hundred gold is only five hundred guan, not as good as half a month's income from a teahouse.

Shu An's eyes flickered. From the book, besides the income, there was also the fact that the income was relatively high in the first half a month.

Later, due to the opening of other teahouses around, the income has dropped a lot, but not too much.

Even so, there are still [-] guan a year. It seems that these businessmen are smarter than imagined, and they can't afford it early without profit.

"Interesting, did the proceeds from the teahouse go to the inner palace last month?"

A mysterious smile appeared on the corner of Shu An's mouth, and then he looked at Kuanghu and asked.

"A few days ago, it was sent to the inner palace after the end of a month. In addition to the 2000% profit that the master allocated to the young lady, there are more than [-] coins."

Shu Kuanghu said from the side, he is in charge of the property of Chang'an Shu Mansion, but currently there is only a tea house, as for the farm of Shu Mansion, it is now under the responsibility of the butler Lai Fu.

"Ah."

After Shu An responded, his eyes fell outside the teahouse, and several carriages drove slowly from the direction of Chang'an City Gate.

In fact, it wasn't just Shu'an, there were many literati sitting in several teahouses around, and they discovered the huge motorcade in the first place.

"Is there some big caravan coming to Chang'an?"

"That's not right, looking at those guards seems to have some army flavor."

"The flag on it says Feng. Could it be that he came from Lingnan?"

"The one in Lingnan has received a lot of impeachments this year, and the local and state governments have reported rebellion more than a dozen times."

There was a lot of discussion, and after you and I talked, everyone judged the identity of this team.

Shu An didn't miss the same voices, and couldn't help sighing secretly, there is a reason why Chang'an scholars are naturally higher than scholars from other places.

Just in this kind of atmosphere, even a novice must be able to broaden a lot of horizons.

"Lingnan is a good place."

Shu An's eyes flickered and he murmured softly, he vaguely remembered that Feng An sent his son into the court.

But then Shu An shook his head, this Shangzhu country in Lingnan had nothing to do with him.

This winter should be regarded as his most comfortable winter, but this comfort is temporary, he plans to start the academy in early spring next year.

Just as Shu An was enjoying the tranquility of these years, the eldest grandson empress in the palace showed doubts on her face.

"Why did the money increase by more than 2000 within this month?"

Empress Changsun rang out with a doubtful voice, you must know that there is not much left every month, let alone [-] guan.

"Guanyin maidservant, why more than 2000 guan?"

At this moment, Li Shimin's figure appeared from outside the palace, and a voice sounded.

Perhaps as an emperor, Li Shimin is a little sensitive to money, of course not sensitive, after all, the household department cries for poverty every day.

Where does the court council need to allocate funds every day? It can be said that Li Shimin cannot be insensitive under such circumstances.

"Your Majesty, you can see that the income has increased by more than 2000 yuan this month."

After saluting for a while, Empress Changsun spoke slowly, and there seemed to be a hint of inconceivability in her words.

Li Shimin's eyes also lit up, knowing that more than 2000 yuan is not a small amount of money, so he couldn't help but take over the internal funds and look at the ledger.

"Let the maid in charge of the ledger come over."

Empress Changsun said, if you have any doubts, just ask and you will know.

Soon a court lady came to the front in a hurry, and after saluting, she began to talk about the source of the more than 2000 guan.

When the truth was revealed, both Empress Changsun and Li Shimin couldn't help being stunned.

"Is the new tea shop making so much money?"

"If I remember correctly, it seems that this tea shop has not been open for a long time?"

Li Shimin couldn't help but said in amazement, you must know that even he is very poor as an emperor, and the profit of this tea shop is so much.

Without much hesitation, Li Shimin directly sent Li Junxian to come in, because Baiqi monitored the entire Chang'an and should know the situation.

"Your Majesty, Lord An Xuan's new tea shop has now become a teahouse."

"Every day, countless scholars drink tea, recite poems, discuss ancient and modern times."

"Now in Chang'an, many businessmen have followed suit and opened teahouses."

Li Junxian said respectfully, and told all the things he knew, and now drinking tea has become a fashion of the upper class in Chang'an.

"How about the income of the teahouse?"

A gleam flashed in Li Shimin's eyes and he said that he didn't care how many teahouses there were in Chang'an.

"An Xuangong's teahouse can earn more than 3000 yuan a month."

Although Li Junxian looked a little doubtful that His Majesty would ask this question, he still said it respectfully, because An Xuangong did not hide the account book.

It is not difficult for Baiqi to know, not to mention that there are shares in the queen, and he will not refuse in the name of the palace.

"More than 3000 puns a month, and more than 3 puns a year."

Li Shimin's eyes flickered and he whispered softly, it was obvious that the emperor was jealous again.
