The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

The father and son talked about tea and the performance of the major families at the auction.

They had the same view on the future of the aristocratic families. After the experience of the previous dynasty, the aristocratic families must be suppressed. The first aristocratic family in the Tang Dynasty can only be the royal Li family.

As they chatted, they talked about the price of special tea.

"If we hold more such grand events, the palace will be more affluent." Li Shimin said with emotion.

He dreamed of preparing money and food, and then taking troops to the grassland to meet Jie Li.

"Hold this auction to let everyone know that special tea is rare and valuable. If there are too many special teas circulating outside, this thing will not be so valuable in the eyes of others. Even if it is an auction, it is difficult to sell it at a high price. This thing is limited. The opportunity is not to be missed. If you miss it, you will have to wait for another year." Li Fu said, "Don't make too much money, otherwise people will not be willing to pay." Li Shimin smiled when he heard it. "Of course I understand this truth, but I am just sad about the scene today." Li Shimin said, "People are willing to spend money for things they like. Maybe some people have other purposes, but in the end, they pay money." "Then what do you see from this?" Li Fu asked curiously. Anyway, Li Fu knew in his heart that the people were poor, and it had nothing to do with the noble families. Even if the dynasty fell, the noble families would not be poor. From the Han Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, the leaders of the world could be changed, but the ones who had the final say were still the noble families. How could they be poor?

"I saw that they were willing to spend money!" Li Shimin smiled heartily.

Some things are well known, so there is no need to talk about them, but Li Shimin also saw more clearly the generosity of these people today.

The transaction price of ten sets of special tea at the auction will soon spread throughout Chang'an City.

Li Shimin wants to see who of these people from noble families dares to oppose the reduction of rewards in the court after today.

All the unreasonable rewards determined during the Wude period must be changed!

In the first year of Zhenguan, some results have been achieved. Although many unsatisfactory things have happened, overall, it is a warning to everyone.

Whoever is restless will have a fate.

Li Youliang and Li Xiaochang could not escape death. If it were someone else, you would see how deep the bond between you and the nine clans is.

"There are so many people downstairs now. How can you leave quietly later?" Li Shimin looked at Li Fu and asked.

"It's all over now. Are you still afraid that others will see you again?" Li Fu smiled.

Li Shimin thought about it.

Yes, if someone recognizes me now, then those who participated in the auction will have to think about it.

Create some atmosphere for them and let them go back and think about it slowly.

Li Fu also meant this.

The main purpose is to torture them mentally and scare them.

In fact, there is nothing wrong, but people's imagination is rich.

"When we leave, will we do it openly and with great fanfare?" Li Yuan smiled, looking a little cunning.

"Just leave normally, it's a bit too much to make a big fuss." Li Fu laughed.

"Hahahaha." Li Yuan laughed heartily and looked at Li Fu: "You are not bad, you have been in Chang'an for a year, and your mind has improved. With this, I am relieved. At least you won't suffer any loss in the future."

Li Yuan still remembers that when his nephew first came to live in Chang'an, he was wronged and didn't dare to do anything. He could only run to the palace to tell him pitifully.

There is still a long way to go, and we can't always be like that, without any ability to protect ourselves.

I am old, how long can I protect him?

Now he has a good relationship with Erlang, and he is smart and has improved. He may be able to make a good living in Chang'an in the future.

"He doesn't look like someone who would suffer a loss." Li Shimin echoed on the side, and then he looked at Li Yuan: "Father, the New Year's Day is coming soon. When do you plan to return to the palace?"

Today is the 28th.

"I will return tomorrow. I have been out for several days." Li Yuan smiled and said: "Have you arranged everything for my return to the palace?"

Li Shimin replied: "Everything has been arranged. Da'an Palace has been cleaned and is waiting for father. In addition, some things should not be replaced before the New Year. They can only be replaced after the New Year. Otherwise, it will be unlucky."

Li Yuan nodded.

"Well, yes, it's the New Year, there are many taboos, so let's do it this way first"Yes." Li Shimin took his leave and left the teahouse with Changsun Wuji. Li Yuan stayed in the teahouse with the children for a while. The private room they were in had a good location. When they opened the door facing the street, there was a corridor outside. They could look at the scenery along the street from the corridor. At this time, it was very lively outside. There were still many people whispering or talking loudly downstairs. They could vaguely hear the topic they were talking about, which was nothing more than the auction in the teahouse. In the teahouse today, the three children also knew that their father and grandfather were here. , they must be serious matters, so during the auction, they did not make a fuss, but played quietly in the house, or played chess, or read books, and watched the excitement outside.

The children were also thinking about the auction.

Thinking about the special tea, and thinking about how much eight thousand strings of cash was.

How could Aye and Aung care so much about it?

After Li Shimin left, the children asked about their curiosity.

They had no idea about eight thousand strings of cash.

"Aung, eight thousand strings of cash, how much is it? Why are you and Aye so shocked that eight thousand strings of cash is used to buy a box of tea? "Li Chengqian asked.

"Eight thousand strings of cash..." Li Yuan thought about how to explain it to the child.

Except for the years when Li Yuan was worried about the food and grass for the army during the uprising, he had never worried about spending money at other times. He had no shortage of money. When he was young, he was also a nobleman who spent a lot of money.

If it were back then, maybe he would also spend eight thousand strings of cash to buy tea.

But now the time is different, the status is different, and naturally the things he considers are different.

Li Fu came to Li Chengqian and sat on the cushion.

"Eight thousand strings of cash, Chengqian, you and your grandfather grew up in rich families and have never experienced any poor days." Li Fu said: "Eight thousand strings of cash, that is the amount that an ordinary Tang family can't earn in their entire lives."
