Tang Dynasty good father-in-law

Shu An didn't say anything more when he said this, because there was no need, and if he dared to compete with His Majesty for his benefits, it would be too old to break ground.

The more I earn now, I'm afraid it will end badly in the end, but there must be some small families behind these teahouses.

The real top aristocratic family would not do such a stupid thing. If you want to know who is the poorest person in the world, Shu An is definitely Li Shimin.

The tea house seems to be a bit popular, and there must be a lot of benefits in it, but all of this has nothing to do with Shu An.

Although the origin of the matter is him, but most of the time he is just a bystander. In other words, he is a chess player.

After finding his own teahouse, Shu An went directly to the second floor. Because of the diversion from the nearby teahouse, there were still quite a few private rooms.

The guard of the teahouse was a guard who had been taught by Shu An. Immediately, a pair of good tea was served, as well as some pastries and snacks.

For example, there are some spicy broad beans, which are available on almost every table, and they seem to be very popular among the literati in Chang'an.

Even Shu An felt that eating some spicy food and drinking a cup of hot tea in winter would really warm him up a lot.

With so many people gathered together and the bustling streets outside, there is indeed a lively atmosphere.

But originally Shu An didn't care about the interests of the teahouses, but after seeing so many teahouses, he couldn't help being interested, so he asked someone to bring up the account book. The teahouse has been open for more than a month.

Chapter 46 岭南，疑惑

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.

Chapter 47 The Unexpected Visitor

You must know that the money in the palace is only close to one hundred thousand guan in a year, and this also includes his rewards.

And these [-] guan can be said to occupy nearly one-third, and the money left in the treasury for a year is only a few hundred thousand guan, and there are natural and man-made disasters from time to time.

"Your Majesty, it is said that many teahouses have been opened near the Anxuangong teahouse, and the income will probably be much lower next month."

Li Junxian's voice sounded again, counting it as a detriment to His Majesty's interests.

A dangerous aura flashed in Li Shimin's eyes. You must know that since the last court meeting, who didn't know that half of the income of this father-in-law's tea shop belonged to the harem.

However, there were still people robbing business, even Li Shimin couldn't help but feel a little angry, but it didn't show on the surface.

Empress Changsun on the side also showed a hint of displeasure on her complexion. You must know that this is related to her own and Yafu's interests.

"Jun Xian, secretly investigate the situation behind these restaurants, I want to see who is against me."

The dangerous aura in Li Shimin's eyes did not fade away. If it was just a little benefit before, he would not pay attention to it, but the benefit is not small.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

.......

What happened in the palace has nothing to do with Shu An, because Shu An received an unexpected visit two days after that teahouse.

"Feng Zhidai, son of Feng An, what is he doing here?"

This was Shu An's idea, but he had a lot of interests, and he suddenly remembered something.

That is, next year will be a year of natural disasters. There will be a severe drought in the pass, and many people will even sell their children in exchange for food and clothing. The most important thing is the plague of locusts.

One thing that is good about Lingnan is that rice is harvested twice a year, and even in areas further south, rice is harvested three times a year.

Especially after years of accumulation, Lingnan can be regarded as a big granary. Whether it is facing natural disasters in a few months or earning some profits, there is a lot to do.

Of course, for the sake of natural disasters is the important thing, presumably his reputation can go further this time, if it is said to do things to gain reputation the fastest.

Then nothing can come faster than helping the victims. In fact, Shu An became a celebrity by helping many refugees in his early years.

Of course, there are gains and losses. If you gain fame, you lose money. But for Shu An, money is not important.

"Laifu, please!"

It didn't take long for Shu An to speak, although there were ten questions from Shumen, but they were more aimed at some ordinary scholars and poor scholars.

Long ago, he had not refused to visit, but no one came to ask for words. Obviously, he knew the reason for the teacher's refusal, so he didn't force it.

In addition, if someone appreciates it, just go directly to the Shumen Ten Questions to see the handwriting of An Xuangong's question.

In front of the lobby door, a travel-worn young man hurried over, his eyes lit up when he saw Shu An who was already sitting on a chair in the middle of the lobby.

"Student Feng Zhidai met An Xuangong."

The young man said respectfully, there seemed to be a hint of excitement in his words.

At this moment, Shu An couldn't help being slightly taken aback, there seemed to be something wrong, but he remembered that there was no such student.

As if seeing Shu An's doubts, Feng Zhidai's voice continued to sound.

"Tianxi often traveled to Luoyang with his father in his early years, and his father respected you very much."

"In order to get half of the "Spring and Autumn" that you copied, my father spent ten thousand gold to buy it."

"Tianxi often listens to his father's teachings, but he regrets not being able to see Duke Anxuan. Two years ago, his father heard that you gave lectures in the southwest, and he has been looking forward to your continued trip to the south of Lingnan."

"It's a pity that you directly transferred to Jiangnan. Before Tianxi left Lingnan this time, my father promised to visit you."

When the voice fell, even Shu An's expression was a little embarrassed, he didn't expect Lingnan Feng An to respect him so much.

"Tianxi sit first, Laifu serves tea."

Shu An soon changed his expression as usual and said, although he didn't know whether Feng An was admiring him or not, he looked at Feng Zhidai with a very sincere expression.

"Thank you, Duke Anxuan."

After Feng Zhidai said respectfully, he sat on the chair on one side, apparently already used to it.

In fact, Feng Zhi was most interested in tables, chairs and new tea after bringing him to Chang'an. He had already made up his mind to bring a set of tables, chairs and new tea when he went back this time, otherwise, he would have to wait until the next time he came to Chang'an.

After a few cups of tea, Shu An's voice also sounded, stretching out his hand not to hit anyone's smiling face, let alone to praise him so much.
