The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

Li Fu calculated and decided to make two sets for now, and then send them to the palace, one for Li Yuan and one for Li Shimin.

Li Yuan's old ministers often accompanied him, and Li Shimin's old people were mostly from the original Xian Ce Mansion. These people often sat together to discuss national affairs.

The new and old nobles in the court were all within Li Fu's target range.

When the time comes, both sides will gather together and sit on this thing. It's not bad. How can you not be tempted after returning?

Sitting here to read a book, eat a meal, etc., isn't it more comfortable than sitting on a couch with legs curled up?

Li Fu also built a square table specifically for Li Yuan.

He also gave Lao Zhao another drawing.

"Lao Zhao, this drawing, you find a carpenter to make it." Li Fu said.

Lao Zhao took the drawing and looked at it.

"My dear, I can understand other furniture, but what is this thing?" Lao Zhao asked curiously.

On the blueprint, there were some small wooden blocks with strange patterns on them.

"I call this thing mahjong." Li Fu said, "For entertainment, you first find someone to make it, according to the drawing on my blueprint, first make three sets, and then ask the carpenter to make a suitable box and stack them all together."

"Yes, my lord." Lao Zhao responded.

Even if he didn't know what this thing was used for, it didn't stop Lao Zhao from doing what Li Fu said.

"Make this thing as soon as possible." Li Fu urged.

Now Li Yuan has become the emperor, and he has nothing to do in the Liangyi Hall all day.

If he stays like this in the future, he will definitely be bored to death.

Even if he drinks and watches beautiful women dancing with a group of old ministers during the day, and goes back to hug beautiful women to give birth to Li Shimin's brothers and sisters at night, he will be spiritually empty in the long run.

Wouldn't it be enough to find him some fun?

Let Li Yuan play mahjong.

He has money, and can afford to win and lose.

Moreover, playing mahjong with his ministers, can he lose too much?

There are many entertainment activities in the Tang Dynasty, but in Li Fu's opinion, even if there are many kinds of entertainment, people will get bored after playing for a long time.

Not to mention, Li Yuan is old, playing pipa is OK, but he can no longer play polo and other activities.

His physical fitness is there.

But playing mahjong is OK.

Li Fu also thoughtfully wrote a mahjong instruction manual in the study. He planned to take it to the palace after making mahjong, gather four people, and play a good game with them.

Maybe he can even win back the money for the workshop.

In the evening, after Lao Zhao came back, Li Fu thought that the shop he bought in the East Market could be used now.

The empty shop was filled with mahjong, and there was a market for this thing.

There are many brothels and casinos in Chang'an City.

Mahjong is a table game that can be played for money, and even casinos can introduce it.

It is also a kind of fun to set up a table in a brothel, and the girls can play with the young masters.

If someone has this vision, they can even open a mahjong hall.

It is easier to get things done with more people. After a few days, all the things Li Fu asked the carpenters to make were made.

He personally brought Lao Zhao and Shitou to the workshop.

Mainly to look at some large furniture.

After all, these are furniture prepared for Li Yuan and Li Shimin. These furniture are carved with dragons and phoenixes, and they are very exquisite.

Even the wardrobes are carefully designed.

He also asked the carpenters to make wooden clothes drying racks, so that the clothes do not need to be folded and placed in the cabinets and boxes, but can be hung directly in the wardrobe. When choosing clothes to wear, it will be clear at a glance.

Ordinary people only have a few clothes, but it is different for the rich and powerful. They have many clothes. They may spend a lot of time every day thinking about which clothes to wear.

"Not bad." Li Fu nodded with satisfaction.

He is indeed a top carpenter in Chang'an City. His workmanship, carving and craftsmanship are really amazing.

"Your Highness, the mahjong you want has also been made and is in the room over there." said the carpenter in the workshop.

"Okay, take me to see it." Li Fu said.

There is a special room in the workshop, which is well decorated. It is specially reserved for use as a showroom.

At this time, there is a full set of furniture in the showroom. There is a huge carpet in the hall, and an exquisite round table is placed on the carpet. There are six round stools around the round table.

The box containing mahjong was placed on the shelf against the wall.

The carpenter took the box and placed it on the table in the middle.

The box has a beautiful little lock on it. After opening it, the mahjong tiles are neatly stacked in the box.

"The size of the box is just right, you see." The carpenterSaid.

Li Fu took out a mahjong from the box.

It feels good. The surface of the wood has been treated and painted. It should not have been air-dried for that long. After opening the box, you can still smell a faint smell of paint.

"Because of the number of mahjong, there will be gaps in the box no matter how it is stacked. Therefore, if the box is shaken horizontally or vertically, the surface layer will not be so neat." The carpenter said.

"It doesn't matter. It doesn't have much impact." Li Fu said: "Make a few more sets in this way. In the future, this mahjong will have to consider other materials, just like Go."

As for chess pieces, there are stone and jade.

The same is true for mahjong. You can also find jade carvings.

That thing feels better than wood.

"Yes, Your Highness." The carpenter responded.

"Old Zhao, let the carriage of the mansion come over. We will pull these furniture and send them to the palace." Li Fu said.

Things were done as soon as they were said. Li Fu never picked a day to enter the palace. Anyway, Li Yuan was in the palace all day now. As long as he handed over a card, Li Yuan would definitely meet him.

"Yes." Old Zhao responded.

Several carriages came to the Jingyang Wang residence. They loaded all the furniture on the carriages to barely fit one set, so they had to send it to Li Yuan first.

The furniture was covered with coarse cloth to avoid being ostentatious.

When he arrived at the palace gate, Li Fu handed over a card, and the guards at the palace gate checked it before letting Li Fu pass.

Li Yuan in the Liangyi Hall was reading a book at this time.

Today, he did not drink and feast with a group of ministers.

He couldn't stand it all day long, and he wanted to be quiet occasionally.

However, Li Fu came.

"The Prince of Jingyang is here? He brought several carts of things?" Li Yuan asked curiously, "What did he bring? Money?"

Li Yuan remembered that he had a share in the egg-changing business. Now that the workshop on Li Fu's farm has started, he must have made a lot of money, right?

"No, according to the guards at the palace gate, it was furniture. His Royal Highness the Prince of Jingyang said so." said the eunuch.
