The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

But this is just a thought. What kind of family is the Cui family of Boling? Since the things have been bought, there is no reason for them to resell them.

Even if it is a gift, it is a gift from the family to their own family, and it will never flow out of the Cui family.

Their status and position are there.

However, after this auction, the people present once again clearly realized the huge difference between the status and position of the aristocratic families and ordinary families.

It is not that there are no merchants bidding in the hall. They have been unable to continue after supporting 7,000 strings, but the big families upstairs shouted 8,000 strings simply.

Especially the last bid.

It went directly from 8,300 strings to 8,600 strings.

In the bid of 10 strings and 20 strings, it suddenly came so that everyone could not figure out the details of the other party.

It would be meaningless to continue to bid 10 strings and 20 strings.

Therefore, he raised 300 strings at once and took the last box of special tea directly and neatly.

"Thanks to all the distinguished guests for coming today, the auction has come to a successful conclusion!" Zhang Deyuan said in a clear voice: "Let us congratulate again the ten distinguished guests who won the auction items at this auction. Thank you for your strong support for this auction!"

After that, warm applause rang out in the teahouse.

Li Shimin listened to the noise outside and smiled slightly.

"This King of Jingyang, this time, those who spent money have both face and money."

"Yes." Zhangsun Wuji smiled and said: "Isn't this what the aristocratic families care about most?"

Fang Xuanling nodded seriously in response.

Du Ruhui didn't dare to speak.

Li Shimin saw Du Ruhui's embarrassment and said with a smile: "Du Qing, don't think too much. I know what you are thinking. Don't worry. I also know how the Jingzhao Du family is. With the Du family's background, it is not uncommon for them to try to get a set."

"Being rich is being rich. There is nothing wrong with spending your own money. I also hope that there will be more such events. After all, the money that the aristocratic families keep at home is money when it is spent. It is a good thing to flow into various transactions in the Tang Dynasty." Li Shimin said: "How many wealthy families have money and dug a cellar to hide it. The copper coins in the house are rusted. They would rather rust and rot than spend them. In the long run, the wealth cannot be circulated, which is also a problem."

Li Shimin said a few simple words to comfort Du Ruhui.

Moreover, what Li Shimin said made sense.

The reason inside was too complicated to explain in a few words, so Li Shimin did not explain it to them.

Anyway, what Li Shimin heard from Li Fu was more or less the same. This matter needs to be savored carefully to taste the truth.

After the auction, the teahouse started to operate normally, but most of the people in the teahouse continued to drink tea and chat, and did not leave the teahouse.

When the auction was going on just now, it was not convenient for everyone to chat. Now that the auction is over, everyone can sit together and talk freely.

The scene of the auction is their topic of conversation.

Many people who did not receive the invitation wanted to come to the teahouse to have a look. As soon as the teahouse resumed normal business, they came in. As soon as they sat down, they began to ask about the auction just now.

Then those who participated in it described the scene just now to their tea friends vividly.

That scene, that guy, that bidding, it was so fierce.

The people in the private room on the second floor did not leave for the time being. Some people who were on good terms with each other took this opportunity to sit in the same room and start chatting.

Those who succeeded upstairs also congratulated each other.

This was not only the case on the second floor, there were two more rooms on the third floor.

After the end, Li Shimin wanted to see his father.

Since he knew that he was next door, it would be inappropriate not to go and meet him.

He was his biological father.

Li Shimin asked Zhangsun Wuji and the others to wait here first, and he went over himself.

After all, he wanted to talk to Li Fu about the tea.

For the time being, the three of them didn't need to know about the money-making in the inner court.

Although they were all trusted ministers, there were some things that they didn't know too clearly.

The door was knocked, and Li Shimin's voice came from outside the door.

"Father, your son is here to pay his respects to you."

"Come in." Li Yuan said.

Li Shimin pushed open the door and walked into the private room.

"You were next door just now, weren't you?" Li Yuan smiled.

Li Shimin walked forward, knelt on one side, and nodded seriously.

"What do you think?" Li Yuan asked.

"I didn't expect this special tea to be sold at such a high price outside the palace. I was really surprised." LiShimin responded.

"Then tell me what you think of those people who made bids just now." Li Yuan said: "You brought people here, the most important purpose, isn't it to see this?"

"Yes." Li Shimin responded: "But I think everything is expected, not out of the ordinary, but after this time, I still think more seriously, these aristocratic families..."

Li Shimin said half of the words, but Li Yuan understood.

Because after he ascended the throne, although he was rewarding these people, he was also trying to balance.

But he failed and couldn't balance. When he was in power, the Guandong and Guanlong aristocratic families were at odds with each other privately, but they still maintained a harmonious relationship on the surface.

In Li Yuan's view, neither side can have an advantage. If anyone wants to stand out, he will suppress them.

But always balancing in the middle is not a long-term solution. If you look at it in the long run, these aristocratic families will find an opportunity to suppress them.

It would be best to give them a slap in the face and a sweet date, so that they know that the power of heaven is unpredictable.

Slowly weakening them over a long period of time is the right way.

The aristocratic family has developed too much, which is not a good thing for the Li Tang royal family.

Li Yuan himself could not think of a solution, so this matter finally fell on Li Shimin's shoulders, and it depends on how his good son will do it.

Today he can come out of the palace to see, I believe he already has this idea in his heart, but it is not a generation of work to accomplish this.

Emperor Yang of Sui has learned from the past, this road can not be taken too hastily.

"Things will be round if they are slow, everything will be done slowly, you are still young." Li Yuan smiled.

"Yes." Li Shimin also showed a happy smile on his face.

This is considered that the father and son have a tacit understanding and think of the same thing.

In the future, the father will be a helper, not a hurdle in the way of Da'an Palace.

This is what makes Li Shimin the happiest!

From the Xuanwu Gate incident to now, a year and a half has passed, and the rift between father and son has completely disappeared.
