The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

Li Jiu thought that this empty box was worthless, and His Majesty should not be stingy in giving it to His Royal Highness Prince Jingyang.

Lao Zhao bowed his hands.

Seeing the people in the palace and the house moving boxes out one by one, the people below felt distressed, but Lao Zhao, who had seen many storms, was very calm in his heart.

Isn't it just money?

The money earned by my husband is too much to count, so this is nothing.

Li Fu changed clothes in his room in the backyard, and went to the palace with the money to meet the emperor and Li Shimin.

It is estimated that after Li Shimin saw the stone, he should have something to say to himself.

Xiao Tao was beside Li Fu, smoothing his clothes.

Li Fu looked at the figure in the bronze mirror and stretched out his hand to pull his belt.

How come he didn't work much every day, but his figure was still so slim, could it be that he suffered in Huizhou?

Going back and forth to Huizhou, including when he was watching the construction of the tea house in Huizhou, Li Fu really didn't eat much food that suited his appetite. After all, when he was away from home, he had to keep everything simple, and he couldn't be away for more than two months, and he had to bring the cook of the house with him.

He almost forgot that he was less than 20 years old. As a young and strong man, no matter how weak his physical fitness was, his metabolism was fast and he didn't get fat easily.

"What a handsome man." Li Fu smiled.

"Yes, my dear is really a handsome man." Xiao Tao responded to Li Fu without raising her head. Without stopping her hand, she took Li Fu's waist badge from the tray and hung it on his belt for him.

After changing his clothes, Li Fu went to the gate of the house. Passing by the front yard, he saw people in the house and the palace were still moving boxes.

"It's not finished yet." When he arrived at the gate, Li Fu asked Lao Zhao: "How much is left?"

While talking, he looked at the carriages outside. Most of the carriages had already put two boxes on them. The carriages that were already loaded were moving forward to make room for the empty carriages behind.

"It's still a little short." Lao Zhao said.

The boxes have been moved for a while, but they are still not finished.

Looking at everyone busy, Li Fu sighed helplessly.

It's really inconvenient to have too many copper coins.

But there is no way. Today's currency is copper coins, silver, gold, etc., which are not popular.

In the fourth year of Wude, the Tang Dynasty abolished the Wuzhu coins and issued Kaiyuan Tongbao coins. One thousand copper coins were six pounds and four taels.

But in addition to this, the Tang Dynasty also inherited the tradition of using silk as currency during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and implemented a currency system that used both money and silk.

And the tea shop collected all copper coins.

For small transactions, copper coins can still be used, but for large transactions, copper coins are particularly cumbersome.

Therefore, in large transactions, silk and other similar "barter" phenomena often occur.

If you want to make large sums of money transactions convenient, you have to use silver and gold.

"Sir, why don't you go to the hall and sit for a while?" Old Zhao saw Li Fu standing here waiting, and he thought to himself that he had to move for a while, and there were really not a few things.

"No problem." Li Fu waved his hand.

He was thinking about the possibility that silver could become the currency in circulation in the Tang Dynasty.

It took about two quarters of an hour to get everything ready.

Li Fu got on the carriage in the house and slowly set off towards the palace.

The carriage behind was loaded with boxes of copper coins, and the speed would not be too fast, that is, in Chang'an City, the road was paved with bluestone slabs, and the road conditions were not bad. If it was outside the city, the carriage would be swaying.

After entering the palace, Li Fu went to Da'an Palace first and asked Li Jiu to go with him.

The 52,000 guan placed on the carriage in front was for the emperor.

After leaving the emperor, he went to Liangyi Palace.

He had to deliver the things in person and meet the emperor.

This time when he came to Da'an Palace to see Li Yuan, he didn't see the shadow of Concubine Yin.

Li Yuan was drinking and enjoying music with several old ministers who rarely attended court in the palace.

"Your Majesty, King Jingyang is here and brought a lot of things." The eunuch came to Li Yuan's side to report.

"Where is he?" Li Yuan asked.

Usually, this kid came in before the eunuch came to report. What happened this time? Let the eunuch come in and report first.

Has he changed his temper?

"King Jingyang is waiting outside the store, waiting for your majesty to summon him." The eunuch said.

Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, then laughed.

"What happened to this kid today? This is not like him." Li Yuan said with a smile: "Go and let him in."

"Yes." The eunuch answered.

After the eunuch went out to summon Li Fu, Li Fu followed the eunuch to the hall in an orderly manner.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you." Li Fu bowed his hands."Okay, no need to be polite. Li Fu, what's wrong with you today?" Li Yuan looked at Li Fu curiously.

Li Fu looked around and saw that there were still many people in the palace.

"After entering the palace, I heard from the eunuchs outside the palace that His Majesty was drinking with several ministers today, so I didn't dare to enter the palace rashly to avoid losing etiquette." Li Fu said with a smile.

"It's okay." Li Yuan said with a smile: "Those sitting here today are all ministers close to me, so there is no need to be restrained."

Li Fu glanced at these people.

It's true that the emperor now finds his own playmates.

The emperor will not see those who still stand in the court and refuse to give up power, but those who have retired and returned home, the emperor occasionally lets them come to Da'an Palace to get close to them, which is harmless.

"The eunuch just said that you brought something here, what new things did you bring to me this time?" Li Yuan asked curiously.

Li Fu came to Li Yuan's side and found a cushion to sit cross-legged.

"This time, it's not something new. You have seen a lot of this stuff, uncle." Li Fu said.

"Don't keep me in suspense."

"My people, the tea shop, the money from selling tea, this is not my nephew bringing him to show filial piety to you." Li Fu said with a smile.

"Your shop has only been open for three or four days, right?" Li Yuan asked uncertainly.

He heard some news, but it hasn't been long, so why are you here to give money?

"Yes." Li Fu said, then he came to Li Yuan and whispered: "I made a lot of money, so I brought it here to make room for the warehouse at home."

Although Li Yuan didn't know what was in the warehouse of Jingyang Wang's house, he knew the scale of the house he asked Li Xiaogong to buy.

He knew that the house was not small without going to the house in person.

With such a big house, the storehouse can't even hold this little money?

Isn't this an exaggeration?

Li Yuan just thought that his good nephew was trying to make him happy.

"Oh? Then tell me, how much did you send?" Li Yuan asked.

Li Fu stretched out five fingers and compared them to Li Yuan.
