The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

Once upon a time, Li Yuan was resentful.

He resented why the heaven treated him like this.

It was okay to have experienced many difficulties when he was young. After all, being able to marry Dou was a great blessing in life. Having several lovely children with her made him even happier.

What else could a family ask for?

Later, watching the children grow up, each one was so outstanding. As a father, how could he not be proud?

But everything changed after Dou left and he became emperor.

Originally thought that he would be imprisoned in this Da'an Palace in his later years, die of old age in the palace, and never see his children again.

But the appearance of Li Fu broke this situation.

There is still room for maneuver between father and son.

All the past things cannot be changed by human power. Standing on either side, there are inevitable difficulties.

He does not want to hurt any of his sons.

Dalang is worried about his status, Erlang is worried about his life, and as for Silang... it's better not to say.

Li Yuan had drunk a lot of wine today, and the old man became more emotional after drinking. In addition, he thought of how Li Fu had done so much for him, just hoping that he could be happy, and he was moved to tears.

Li Fu coaxed the old man gently.

Although life is good now and not depressed, it is still different from before. Although Da'an Palace is good, there is still no complete freedom.

Even if Li Yuan wants to leave the palace now, no one will stop him, but the taste in his heart is different, and the feeling is different.

"Uncle, do you think this palace is good? Okay, let's start building it next year." Li Fu smiled and said, "Next year, when the palace starts construction and the arena in Chang'an is finished, you will have something to do."

"My nephew also wants to see you host a polo match. I watched one during the Dragon Boat Festival, and it has always been on my mind. If there is a formal match, wouldn't it be more exciting than the polo performance in the martial arts arena?"

Speaking of polo matches, Li Yuan's sad expression gradually withdrew, and he followed Li Fu's words and imagined future polo matches.

"I heard from my people that the construction of the stadium is going smoothly and it will be completed and put into use next year." Li Yuan said: "Before the stadium is put into use, the polo teams that want to participate in the competition must be ready. I know that every family in Chang'an City has a polo team, so I sent someone to find them at Da'an Palace and told them about the Chang'an Cup Polo Tournament, so that they can prepare a year in advance."

"What is their reaction?" Li Fu asked.

"Of course I am happy. It is not easy to support a team of polo players, and it costs a lot of money. If they are not really obsessed with this, how can they invest so much energy and money?" Li Yuan said with a smile: "After they heard me explain the Chang'an Cup game, they were all eager to show the strength of their own team. I guess they have already started preparing for next year and plan to make a big splash."

"In this kind of game, if you win, you will be proud and in the limelight, and if you lose, it will be a matter of face." Li Yuan smiled and said: "Don't worry, after the news is released, those who have polo teams will People, more concerned than anyone else, want to win the championship trophy more than anyone else. "

"Then it will definitely be a grand event in Chang'an City." Li Fu smiled and said, "I am really looking forward to it."

"Who isn't? I can't wait for the stadium to be built immediately. Some time ago, I changed into ordinary clothes and took a few people to see it. Everything is going according to plan." Li Yuan said, "The construction period must be rushed, but the quality must not be slack. This stadium will be a place for big things in the future."

If you watch polo in the stadium while the game is going on, and there are any problems with the quality of the stadium, who is this slapping in the face?

Do you still want the Nine Clans?

At noon, Li Fu had a meal at Li Yuan's place.

After eating, Li Yuan took a nap at noon, and Li Fu left the palace with the guards.

After returning home, Lao Zhao directly invited Li Fu to the study.

"Sir, here are the account books accumulated by the tea houses that you need to review." Lao Zhao said.

Li Fu was shocked.

"Why are there so many?"

"Sir, the business of tea houses is not as good as before. In Chang'an City, there are six shops doing tea-related business." Lao Zhao explained: "All the account books are here, two tea shops and teahouses in the East Market, two tea shops and one teahouse in the West Market."

"AlsoThe painted boat by the Qujiang Lake has been built and is now moored in the Qujiang Lake. It is also used as a teahouse on the lake for the time being. Business is very good. "Old Zhao said as he took out a book from the account book.

"This is the account book of the painted boat teahouse. It has also made a lot of money. "

Speaking of making money, Lao Zhao's face was full of smiles.

I have never heard of anyone who dislikes having too much money.

All the work on the farm is done with the family's wealth. If it weren't for the businesses under his command, even if he sold the Jingyang Palace in Chang'an City, it would not be enough to make ends meet on the farm.

Li Fu sat down at the desk and began to look through the account book honestly.

Ah, why don't you get married quickly? When there is a mistress at home, you don't have to look at the account book.

She is in charge of the family's money, let her manage it!!

Lao Zhao stood aside and said softly.

"My dear, there is another thing, seeing that the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, the Mid-Autumn Festival gift boxes of the tea house are also ready. Is this year's pricing the same as last year? "Old Zhao asked, "Zhao Fu sent a letter to ask if the price can be raised appropriately, because this year's gift box also includes some high-quality flower tea. The types of flower tea in the gift box are not fixed, and it depends entirely on luck. Zhao Fu said that this is a small surprise for the buyer."

"The gift box with flower tea will be increased by 30 guan, and the others will be increased by 10 guan." Li Fu said, "That's it."

"Yes, then I responded to the tea shop like this." Old Zhao said.

"The tea shops in Chang'an City have increased their prices, what about other places? Is it too late to send a letter to Zhao Fu now?" Li Fu asked doubtfully.

"My dear, the prices of tea shops in other places have already increased. "Old Zhao said, "In Huizhou, all the prices have been raised by 60 guan. Gift boxes there are more valuable for quality than quantity. After all, they are of the same specifications as those in Chang'an. Huizhou is not the capital after all. If you want good things that are only available in the capital, you have to pay the price."
