The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

The palace has laid off extra staff, but Li Yuan has not. When Li Yuan moves in, in addition to the people who are cleaning the Da'an Palace now, the people who serve Li Yuan in the Liangyi Hall will also come with him.

Therefore, there are still many people in the Da'an Palace.

Li Yuan here just does not have as many powers as when he was in power. Everything else remains the same, and he does not have to bear the responsibilities of the emperor.

From the perspective of retirement alone, it is enough.

The configuration of the Da'an Palace is now even more complete than that of the Taiji Palace.

However, the name and position of the Taiji Palace, as well as the symbol it represents, are incomparable to other palaces.

"Your Highness."

The attendant of the Da'an Palace heard from the people below that the Prince of Jingyang was here, and hurried to come from the back to see Li Fu.

"Huang Shijian, no wonder I didn't see the Shijian in the Liangyi Hall just now. It turns out that he came to the Da'an Palace." Li Fu also arched his hands in return.

"Since everyone is about to move here, the emperor asked me to come here to keep an eye on it." Huang Shijian said with a smile.

"I think everything here has been cleaned up almost inside and outside." Li Fu said, "It's not warm now, so you don't have to be so demanding on the floor tiles in the courtyard outside. Just sweep them clean. There's no need to have people kneeling outside to wipe them with rags.

Even if you wipe it today, there will still be dust tomorrow. It's not a house. Look at those people's hands, they are all frozen red."

"Yes, thank you, Your Highness, for your consideration for us servants. The emperor's move is a big deal. No one in the palace dares to be careless and always wants to do things more carefully." Huang Shijian said, "After today's cleaning, no one will clean up like this outside. It's almost done now. At most, it will take another half an hour for everyone to rest."

Li Fu nodded.

"Okay." Li Fu responded.

He was thinking that he would have to go to the palace again tomorrow.

Anyway, Li Shimin still had to discuss the account book with the people from the Ministry of Revenue, so he should come to the palace more frequently in the next two days.

"Your Highness, I will accompany you to walk around the palace?" Huang Shijian asked.

"Okay, I just came to see how everything is arranged here." Li Fu said, "The inner court has no comment on this, right?"

"No, now according to your majesty's meaning, the inner court belongs to the inner court, and Da'an Palace belongs to Da'an Palace. As for this, everything will be in accordance with the emperor's wishes. The inner court will not interfere too much here, but if there is any need here, you can send someone to report to the queen."

"I see, but it's good this way. At that time, the emperor will not have so many restrictions from the inner court." Li Fu said, "The emperor is happy, this is the most important thing."

"You are right." Huang Shijian responded.

After strolling around Da'an Palace, Li Fu planned to leave the palace and go home.

Passing by the East Palace, Li Fu asked.

"Is your Majesty still in the parade ground now?"

"I haven't come back yet. Does your Highness need me to report to the parade ground?"

"No, no." Li Fu waved his hand.

Li Fu hurried out of the palace.

The next afternoon, he came to the palace again, and this time he brought a jar of refined salt.

In the morning, after Li Shimin retired from the court, he summoned the officials of the Ministry of Revenue to inquire about the account book.

After discussion, the Ministry of Revenue approved the 130,000 strings with Li Shimin's approval, and notified Li Fu that the money would be delivered to Li Fu's palace tomorrow.

130,000 strings is not a small amount, and the people of the Ministry of Revenue have to count it in the warehouse, which will take some time.

Therefore, the Ministry of Revenue sent the news to the Jingyang Palace in advance to let Li Fu know, and to be ready to receive this huge sum of money tomorrow.

When Li Fu saw Li Shimin again, Li Shimin's expression was not so good.

All the money was spent, and both the inner treasury and the Ministry of Revenue began to cry poor to the emperor.

Because everyone knew that by the end of the year, there would be more places to spend money.

Not to mention the distant future, two days later, the emperor would move to another place, and the ceremony in the palace would inevitably cost money.

Besides, the hunting on Laba Festival and the emperor's grand trip with his ministers were also an expense.

This year, everyone was originally tightening their belts to live, but the emperor was still thinking about saving money, reorganizing the army, and always wanted to fight back on the grassland.

War requires money and food, can the Ministry of Revenue not start preparing in advance?

When the time comes, the emperor says that there will be a war and asks the Ministry of Revenue for money, and the Ministry of Revenue rolls its eyes and says there is no money.

Can it be done without money?

Therefore, to be an official in the Ministry of Revenue, the necessary skill is to cry poor.

At the end of the year, Li Shimin was worried about this matter.

So, seeing Li Fu taking money out of his pocket,How could he be in a good mood when he was the one who had received 130,000 strings of cash?

"The officials of the Ministry of Revenue should have sent the news to your house." Li Shimin said, "The 130,000 strings of cash will arrive tomorrow. You must be prepared. Can the storehouse in your royal house hold it?"

"The storehouse in my humble house has been prepared for a long time. It has been cleaned up and is waiting for the money to be deposited." Li Fu seemed not to hear the hidden meaning of Li Shimin. With a smile on his face and a jar in his arms, he found a place to sit down with a smile.

Li Shimin's words sounded sour.

"Second brother, you are an emperor, rich in the world, 130,000 strings of cash is just a drop in the bucket." Li Fu continued to comfort Li Shimin shamelessly.

"What you said, although I am an emperor, it is not true that I am rich in the world."

How can the national treasury and the internal treasury be so poor?

These are just nice words.

When I was the second son of Li in the Tang Guogong Mansion, I spent money more generously than now.

After becoming an emperor, I can't be extravagant...

"Why are you holding a jar in your arms?" Li Shimin asked.

He was curious when Li Fu just came in. He was holding a jar in his arms. Even if there was something, he could just let the servants hold it. Was it necessary for him to hold it himself?

"I'm here to give a gift to His Majesty." Li Fu smiled and said, "I feel so bad for taking so much money from His Majesty."

Li Shimin looked at Li Fu unhappily when he heard this.

"You feel bad? The smile on your face doesn't show any badness at all. If you really feel bad, you don't want the 130,000 strings and return them to me, how about that?" Li Shimin asked with a smile.

"That won't work. Money that has been spent is like water spilled. It is hard to take it back." Li Fu said, "Second brother, you are an emperor after all. You can't be so stingy."
