The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

Li Shimin saw Li Fu's expression and guessed what Li Fu was thinking. He smiled calmly.

This kid, how can I do this without cheating you of some benefits?

Li Shimin knew that he could not stop Li Fu from leaving Chang'an City. At the same time, he was worried about Li Fu's safety on the road. After thinking about it, he came up with such a plan, asking Li Fu to bring more people openly and give him a handwritten order so that he could control the local troops.

In this way, if there is any movement, he can just kill the rabbit and do it together. In this way, his safety can also be guaranteed.

Li Shimin also knew that there was an agreement between Li Fu and the emperor. He had promised to give the emperor benefits when he was doing the egg business. Moreover, Li Fu had sent money to Da'an Palace more than once or twice, which made people jealous.

This time Li Fu wanted to leave Chang'an City for tea.

He had tea sent by Li Fu, and he tasted it himself, knowing that it was indeed a good thing. He also heard the rumors in Chang'an City. Once the newly made tea arrived in Chang'an City, it would be another profitable business.

Now the inner court is poor. Li Fu also said that he wanted to make the Tang Dynasty rich by increasing revenue and reducing expenditure.

The inner court is the same, so Li Shimin has to think of ways to increase revenue for the inner court.

Didn't Li Fu rush to offer it?

But Li Shimin didn't expect the profit sharing in the documents.

After all, Li Fu is too stingy.

The emperor even gave him his private seal, and promised him 10% profit at the beginning.

What's outrageous is that the emperor actually agreed.

I guess the emperor also wants to take care of this nephew, and didn't think too much.

Originally thought, it was just some eggs, just a small business.

Now it's like this, the emperor didn't expect it, and he didn't expect it either.

The small business has become a big business that makes money.

The palace took 50% of the profits from tea. Although 20% was from the emperor, it still belonged to the palace.

After reading the document, Li Shimin did not care about this issue anymore. If he squeezed Li Fu too much, he would not think of you when he had good things in the future.

Steady flow makes long-lasting money.

"This is my handwritten order." Li Shimin picked up a roll of cloth and handed it to Li Fu: "With this handwritten order and this fish token, you can mobilize the local guards wherever you go. When you encounter something on the road, they can protect you. Didn't I send six guards to your house before? They are familiar with these things, so you must take them all with you.

The situation in the court has not yet stabilized. I am still worried that those who are secretly watching will take advantage of your departure from Chang'an to harm you. Therefore, you must pay attention to the safety issue and take as many trustworthy people as possible with you."

"Yes, thank you for your reminder, second brother." Li Fu took the handwritten order and fish token from Li Shimin with a smile.

Now it's settled. With these two things in hand, when you arrive at the local area, won't you be able to walk sideways? Who dares to attack him?

Just lead the troops and push forward.

"Also, what's the matter with the granary on your farm? Please explain." Li Shimin said, "You said you want to build six granaries? Although your fiefdom has 5,000 households, you don't need so many granaries. Do you still need to purchase grain?"

During the Sui Dynasty, alcohol was prohibited. Later, Emperor Yang of Sui lifted the prohibition order, and the people could freely brew and sell alcohol. However, a large amount of grain was consumed in the brewing process. In order to prioritize the problem of food and clothing, the Sui Dynasty initially issued a prohibition order.

Later, during the Wude period, Li Yuan tried to issue a prohibition order.

However, after the development of the pre-Sui wine culture, whether it was the people or the dignitaries, their lives could not be separated from wine, so Li Yuan's prohibition order was not officially issued and promoted.

But nowadays, not many people drink alcohol at home. After all, the problem of food and clothing has been put on the table again.

In the years when people can't even eat enough, who would waste so much grain to brew wine?

So most of the people who drink alcohol now have money in their pockets.

People don't care about that little money, nor do they care about that little grain.

"It's mainly about buying some old grain." Li Fu said: "Grain is just left there. Instead of leaving it in the hands of those wealthy families, I might as well spend some money to get it back and study how to brew better quality wine." Li Fu said.

Tobacco, alcohol, sugar and tea, which one doesn't make money?

"You also want to brew wine?" Li Shimin widened his eyes.

How can this man in front of him be a cousin? He is a real Pixiu.

He wants to do all kinds of business. He can't make enough money, right?

But then again, who would complain about having too much money?

The key is to make so much money, what does he want to do?What?

Li Shimin asked his doubts directly.

"You said you were busy earning money for your family, and the court didn't lack your food, clothing and expenses."

"Anyway, you're just sitting there doing nothing." Li Fu said with a smile.

"If you feel bored, I will remove your official position, give you an official title, and you can go to the court to do things." Li Shimin said.

Li Fu also helped him a lot in political affairs.

Although he didn't do it himself, he did give advice behind the scenes, and it was indeed useful.

"No, no, no, doing things by force and doing things voluntarily are two different things. Hobbies are hobbies, and work is work. If you turn hobbies into work, it will become painful no matter how much you like it." Li Fu smiled and waved his hand: "So I'd better be busy with my own affairs. As for whether there is money or not, second brother, do you really think that I took 130,000 strings of cash from you last year..."

"150,000." Li Shimin corrected Li Fu's statement.

"Okay, okay, 150,000, 150,000." Li Fu smiled helplessly, "Do you really think I have a lot of wealth?"

"150,000 strings of cash are not enough for you to squander?" Li Shimin asked.

Think about it carefully, this kid didn't spend money in Chang'an City.

So where did his money go?

Li Shimin didn't doubt that Li Fu spent money to build weapons and armor, or recruit people.

Jingyang County is so small, so close to Chang'an City, even the smallest movement can't be concealed, and he Li Fu is not a fool.

"Where did your money go?" Li Shimin asked.

"Although it has not been spent yet, I estimate that it will be spent this year." Li Fu counted on his fingers: "You have seen the workshop on the farm, it is not just about making money. You don't know how much you have to invest before making money. Which of manpower and material resources can be separated from financial resources? And building a granary also costs money, and the canal still needs to be repaired."

Li Fu did not have the right to levy corvée labor, so he had to spend money to hire people.
