The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

"Haha, almost." Li Shimin laughed: "Tell me, how much is the difference?"

Shitou was embarrassed. What should he say?

The small amounts in the account book were not included.

Just round it up. The few strings of money were all small amounts.

"Well, it's not much different. According to the document signed by the husband, you and the emperor, the money sent to the palace was 52,000 strings of money for the emperor, and 78,000 strings of money for you. The rest of the small amounts were not included. In fact, it was more, but the three or five strings of money and seven or eight coins are nothing." Shitou said carefully.

Isn't this added up to 130,000 strings of money?

After Shitou finished speaking, he shrank his head and kept silent.

At the beginning, he knew that his husband took 130,000 strings of money from the national treasury, and the emperor was distressed for a long time. Before he could recover, he used a curved plow to take 20,000 strings of money from the court.

So many people didn't dare to mention money in front of His Majesty for a while.

When His Majesty mentioned money, he would think of the 150,000 strings of cash, and he would be distressed and angry.

But, isn't it almost paid back?

Why is he still angry? This is not a good thing.

"130,000 strings of cash, hehe, it's almost the same." Li Shimin was surprised but didn't show it on his face.

A tea shop can make so much money in just three days of opening? !

He still remembers the pain when he paid 130,000 strings of cash.

As a result, Li Fu's shop can send so much dividends to the palace in three days.

If you calculate it, the palace occupies a total of 50%, that is to say, in three days, the shop has made 260,000 strings of cash!

This calculation surprised Li Shimin even more.

"Your Majesty, the matter of the manpower and carriages..." Shitou had never forgotten the purpose of entering the palace. He looked at Li Shimin and asked with a bow.

"This is a small matter." Li Shimin said, and then he called out, "Li Jiu."

"I'm here." Li Jiu walked out from the dark side hall and bowed.

"Go gather the men and horses and go to the Jingyang King's house. You will be dispatched by Jingyang King for the time being." Li Shimin said.

"Yes." Li Jiu responded.

"Then, I'll take my leave too?" Shitou said cautiously.

I always feel that His Majesty seems to have a lot to say, but he doesn't want to say it to me.

I'd better wait until my husband enters the palace and talk to His Majesty in person. I'm just a small follower, so I shouldn't stay here for long. I have to slip away.

"Well, leave." Li Shimin waved his hand.

He really wanted to ask Li Fu what was going on with the tea shop.

Li Shimin thought that Li Fu would make money, but he didn't think he would make money so well.

This is faster than robbing money.

At the beginning, he earned 130,000 strings of cash from the national treasury, and at least he spent a long time repairing the Da'an Palace.

Including the carpenter workshop, there were many people waiting to pay the deposit, and the carpenter workshop is still busy with the work that was received before the New Year.

This is not a matter of one day or one night.

But the tea shop is different.

Three days, just three days.

Opening a shop, with both money and goods settled, 260,000 strings of cash? ! !

There are many rich people in Chang'an City, but the rich people are not confused, so they rush to give money to Li Fu?

Are they still the group of people who cry poor in the court all day long?

Are they still the group of people who are busy cutting rewards and have difficulties at home?

In this way, they are in trouble!

Good, good.

In front of me, you are clean-handed, with a clean family tradition, penniless, and barely making ends meet.

When you go out, you spend money more wildly than others, right?

Li Shimin didn't believe that those who bought tea in the tea shop were all wealthy merchants, not the wealthy families in Chang'an.

All of a sudden, all these people were exposed.

Can't make ends meet after the reduction of the reward? Tui! Lie!

Li Shimin was shocked at the ability of the tea business to make money, and then thought of the faces of the old ministers in the court, and felt contempt in his heart.

You can't get the truth out of those people, right?

Li Shimin got angry.

He looked at the brewed tea leaves at hand, picked them up, and drank them all.

Didn't Li Fu say that this stuff can also reduce fire?

Now I really need to reduce fire.

First, I am angry, and second, I am a little jealous.

Why doesn't this profitable business belong to the court.......

However, no matter how thick-skinned Li Shimin is, he will not mention this to Li Fu. Li Fu has been very generous and has given 50% of the profits to the palace.

Although 20% was sent to the retired emperor, weren't they all in the palace?

And sooner or later, the retired emperor wouldTo be passed on to himself.

The throne is like this, and so is the emperor's treasury.

Shitou went back to the Jingyang Prince's house first. Not long after, Li Jiu brought his men to the gate of the Jingyang Prince's house.

There was quite a commotion.

The people around saw this scene and thought something had happened to His Royal Highness Jingyang Prince.

Looking at so many carriages and horses, could it be that His Majesty wanted to confiscate the house?

Some nobles recognized Li Jiu.

After all, he was the emperor's personal guard, and they had seen him several times.

Li Jiu led his men to surround the gate of the Jingyang Prince's house. What happened? !

In an instant, the atmosphere of the whole street became tense.

This scene scared the servants in other houses on this street so much that they dared not go out.

Lao Zhao went out to greet Li Jiu and the people he brought with him.

"Please come in and help me." Lao Zhao greeted these people.

Li Jiu left half of his men outside to watch the carriages and horses, and then asked the other half to follow Lao Zhao's instructions and enter the Jingyang King's house.

Box after box of copper coins were carried out from the warehouse and placed on the carriage.

Four people carried a box, and the box was very heavy.

"Guard Li, I have something to discuss with you." Lao Zhao said to Li Jiu: "If the money is sent to the palace, can you put the money down and send the box back to us? There are still uses for these boxes in this house."

Originally, this thing is not enough now. If it is sent to the palace and cannot be taken back, it will delay the re-forging of the wood workshop.

This is also a cost, and the carpenter workshop is already busy, how can it be distracted by such a small matter?

"I can't make the decision on this. Otherwise, let King Jingyang mention it to His Majesty. If His Majesty agrees, these boxes can be sent back tomorrow." Li Jiu said, "As for these boxes, it probably won't be of much use to keep them in the palace."

There are boxes in the palace, and they are all empty. Otherwise, just send the empty boxes back to save the trouble of moving them back and forth.

His Majesty's treasury is indeed not rich, and there are many empty boxes in the warehouse.
