The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

Li Fu went home and found a place in the corridor. He asked someone to bring out a recliner and lie on it to read the account book. Xiao Tao was fanning Li Fu.

In these days, the business of the tea workshop has been good again, and it is not much worse than when it first opened.

After all, it is a festival. Even if you still have tea at home, you have to buy it to give to others. I heard from Lao Zhao that this year, people in Chang'an celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival, and tea has become the best choice for gifts.

First of all, the value is needless to say. Secondly, the gimmicks made by the tea shop make people feel proud when they give away the tea.

As the head of the tea shop, Zhao Fu now admires his husband.

If it weren't for the methods that his husband first came up with, the business of the tea shop would not be so good.

These days, with an income of 280,000 guan, minus the money given to the palace, King Jingyang can store 140,000 guan here.

It is really much easier than robbing money.

The first batch of people who eat crabs always make a lot of money. Moreover, in this line, Li Fu is the only one who has crabs, so he can eat as much as he wants.

If others want to eat, he must have some too.

"Xiao Tao, we are almost done with things here. Let's go back to the manor to live for a while tomorrow or the day after tomorrow." Li Fu said, "It's been a long time since I went back."

"Okay, we'll go wherever you say." Xiao Tao smiled and said, "But my dear, we have made so much money now. Should we renovate the old house in the manor? The old house has been here for so many years. Yesterday, Shitou came here and said that there was a leak in one of the rooms in the old house, but we asked someone to repair it that day."

Li Fu nodded. Yes, the old house over there is indeed a bit old.

It was repaired before, but not much was changed. The main structure has not been moved. The main thing is that the furniture inside has been replaced.

"The old house has been here for so many years, and it's time to renovate it, but the house on the farm always feels like it doesn't have enough space." Li Fu said thoughtfully.

"Before, because you had an egg-changing workshop at home, there were too many people in the house and there was always not enough space. Now the guards in the house have a place to live. Didn't you reward them with a house? So it's okay now." Xiao Tao said, "Do you want to expand the old house?"

Li Fu pondered for a while. It was not an expansion, but he had a higher living demand for the house on the farm.

The house on the Chang'an City side was just like that. It was a reward from the retired emperor. He couldn't make drastic changes to the house here, but it was different on the farm. It was his own territory. It wouldn't be too much to build an exquisite house on the farm.

But there is one thing. No matter how exquisite the house on the farm is, it can't compare to the current Jingyang King's house in terms of regulations.

Li Fu's house in Chang'an City was beyond the standard of a county prince, and was the standard of a prince.

But because it was given by the emperor, no one cared about it.

If Li Fu built such a thing himself, the imperial censors in the court would be furious the next day.

They would shoot him to death.

"I think about building a new house on the farm." Li Fu said, "If the original old house is renovated, it will be very troublesome. In this case, it is better to build a new house. When the new house is built, there will be a place to live on the farm, and then renovate the old house."

"Is that so." Xiao Tao nodded thoughtfully.

Langjun's idea is not impossible.

"It's hot now, so we can start construction. The new house can't be built in a short time." Li Fu said, "Just repair the old house and continue to live in it. Don't spend so much time on the old house for the time being."

After thinking it over, Li Fu set his schedule. He will go to the palace tomorrow to meet Li Shimin, and go to the Ministry of Works to find Yan Lide. It's a waste to not use such a master of architecture.

I have to talk to Li Shimin about building a new house on the farm. No matter whether it is my own territory or not, some things, I have to say hello in advance to save trouble in the future.

And now I have so much money in my hand, what's the point of keeping it, spend it quickly and enjoy it myself first.

Building a new house is enjoyment.

Li Fu is a prince. According to the regulations of the court, the scale of his mansion is one level lower than that of a prince.

The width of the main hall of the residence of officials above the fifth rank of the imperial court shall not exceed five rooms, and the depth shall not exceed nine frames. It can be made into an I-shaped hall, with a hip roof, and decorated with hanging fish and grass.

The level of Li Fu's residence can be higher than this, but how much higher can it be, and where is the limit...

Or how can Li FuI have to go to the Ministry of Works to meet Yan Lide.

When the time comes, invite Yan Lide to Keyue Tower for a meal, and then go to Pingkangfang to relax after the meal, and then take him directly to the farm to discuss a design.

As soon as he said it, the next morning, at the time of the court retreat, Li Fu went to the palace to wait for Li Shimin in the side hall of Liangyi Hall.

Li Shimin hadn't come back yet, so Li Fu ate and drank in the side hall of Liangyi Hall first.

He drank the best tea and ate sweet cakes, and didn't treat himself as an outsider at all.

When Li Shimin entered the side hall, he saw Li Fu sitting at the table, as if he hadn't eaten breakfast.

"What are you doing? Isn't the chef in your house better than the Shangshi Bureau in the palace? Why is it like you didn't have breakfast?" Li Shimin said unhappily.

"Anyway, I'm free anyway, so I won't be bored eating and drinking while waiting for you." Li Fu smiled.

"Tell me, what's the matter?" Li Shimin walked to the top and sat in front of the desk.

"I want to build a new house on the farm." Li Fu said.

"Oh, it's not a big deal. It's your farm, just build it." Li Shimin didn't care.

"I want to build a big house, a luxurious big house." Li Fu emphasized.

Li Shimin looked Li Fu up and down: "Why, the house given to you by the emperor can't accommodate you, or the old house on your farm can't accommodate you, or you have too much money to burn?"

"Then, I have earned so much money, why don't I save it? Then I worked hard to build the house, can't I enjoy it?" Li Fu retorted: "So, I want to build a luxurious big house on the farm."

"Okay, okay, you can spend the money you earn as you like, no need to come to tell me." Li Shimin was speechless.

This is a naked show-off.

"I just want to borrow someone from you, my second brother." Li Fu showed a flattering look.

"Who?" Li Shimin was curious.

"Yan Rang." Li Fu said.
