The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

This is a bit regrettable.

Soon, the door outside was pushed open, and the clerk came in in a hurry.

Jiang Que put down the teacup in his hand.

"What happened? So anxious?"

"Jiang Shaojiang, Your Highness, the King of Jingyang is here."

Jiang Que was stunned for a moment, and then stood up all of a sudden.

"Who are you talking about? King of Jingyang?"

"Yes, when you were at the door, Your Highness asked if you were on the construction site."

"Where is Your Highness now?" Jiang Que asked.

King of Jingyang actually came to Chang'an City. On second thought, yes, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon. King of Jingyang must come to Chang'an for the banquet in the palace, otherwise it will be difficult to explain to His Majesty.

Moreover, the work on the farm this year has been completed, and there will be new work next year. It must be reviewed in front of His Majesty. Only after His Majesty's consent can it be started.

In this regard, King of Jingyang is still very cautious and will not leave any handle for the imperial censors in the court.

"They should be here soon," said the clerk.

Not long after the clerk finished speaking, the sound of horse hooves could be heard outside.

Jiang Que quickly pushed open the door and went outside.

Although Li Fu had never been to the construction site here, it was not difficult to find such a house on the construction site. Just ask anyone and you will know.

"Your subordinate greets His Highness." Jiang Que bowed his hands and saluted.

"Xingben, I have been very polite to you in the past period of time." Li Fu smiled, turned over and got off the horse, walked in front of Jiang Que, and held Jiang Que with his hand.

Jiang Que smiled.

"The more polite, the less blame. After all, we are in Chang'an City, and there are so many people around. It would be bad for me to be too presumptuous."

"How about here?"

Li Fu said as he walked into the house and threw the whip in his hand behind him.

Wu Liangye was behind him and quickly reached out to catch the whip thrown by Li Fu, then stood guard at the door and stopped walking inside.

Li Fu and Jiang Que entered the room, and Jiang Que waved his hand to let the clerk leave.

The clerk bowed to the two and left the room.

"Your Highness, please sit wherever you want. The conditions here are limited, so please don't mind." Jiang Que greeted Li Fu with a smile.

He made a cup of tea for Li Fu and put it on the table.

Influenced by the new furniture, in this kind of room on the construction site, there are all half-person-high tables and benches. They can be cleaned with a little wipe every day, instead of being difficult to clean up like a couch.

The layout of the room is also simple, with a large enough table, three chairs around the table, and square stools against the corner.

"There is no time when the conditions on the construction site are good. It's not like you come here to enjoy it." Li Fu said with a smile.

"Compared to the farm, although I am also in charge of things here, I have much less time." Jiang Que smiled and said, "After all, from the beginning, I was not in charge of this place. I came here halfway. Basically, I don't need to take care of any important things. It's enough to do some trivial things."

"Are you still following the drawings now? Is it going smoothly?"

Li Fu began to ask about the business.

"Everything is going smoothly. The construction here is also strictly in accordance with the drawings. Even if the craftsman supervisor has some ideas of his own, he dare not change the drawings. This drawing has been seen by the two majesties in the palace. Even if they have great courage, they dare not do anything else. I heard that the emperor attaches great importance to this place. People from Da'an Palace come here every day to watch and report to the emperor every day about the things here."

Li Fu smiled and nodded.

As long as everything goes well.

"Not only the emperor, but also many people in Chang'an City hope that this place will be built as soon as possible. This stadium has been built in the hearts of some people." Li Fu laughed and said, "Everyone is looking forward to the polo match. Xingben, do you play polo?"

"I played a few games and I like it very much, but I don't have many opportunities. If there are special competitions in the future, I am afraid that my skills will not be good enough compared to those who are specially trained to play polo."

"That's for sure." Li Fu smiled and said, "Your major is not here. You are interested in playing polo on weekdays, which is considered amateur. In the future, playing polo will become a professional activity for some professionals to compete on the field. There is no comparison between amateurs and professionals."

The difference here is that after get off work, you can bring a basketball downstairs to play for a while. If you have this interest, you can play. Even if you are not a professional, you can throw a few balls and maybe even make them go into the basket.

But compared with professional players, you are likely to have your head shaved.

"The more exciting the game, the more people will watch it. The more people watch it, the more tickets we can sell." Li Fu smiled and said, "It's about making money. In the future, this venue can be used to support Da'an Palace.Make a lot of money. Now that Da'an Palace has invested so much money to build a place, it can be earned back in the future. "

"You are worthy of your highness." Jiang Que smiled and said, "There are all kinds of ways to make money."

Li Fu smiled lightly.

"Is it all kinds of ways? This is just counting the tickets. If you count something else, a game can make the emperor a lot of money. "Li Fu said, "But, everything has just begun, and you still have to leave a line in front of you. When the reputation of polo games rises in the future, if you want to participate in the game, there will be a threshold."

What is the threshold? You have to pay the membership fee, right?

If you want to borrow the venue for training, you have to pay the usage fee, right?

Usually, this venue is idle anyway.

"Xingben, what do you think of Chang'an City?" Li Fu asked.

"Chang'an City? The capital of the Tang Dynasty, the most magnificent city. "Jiang Que said: "There are 108 wards, spanning two counties from east to west. There is no other place of this scale in the whole Central Plains."

"The two markets in the city, East and West, gather all kinds of rare treasures in the world. There are 220 categories of goods in the East Market, and more than 20,000 shops in the West Market. This is because Chang'an City is no longer as prosperous as before due to the turmoil in the past few years. After your majesty ascends the throne and the Tang Dynasty stabilizes, the East and West Markets will be more prosperous and lively in the future."

"At least I think the number of shops in the West Market can be doubled."

Jiang Que accurately predicted the future development of Chang'an City. He also ordered people to buy some industries in the East and West Markets, especially in the West Market. He bought several shops. In the future, whether he finds servants to run them or rents them out, they will be income for the family."

In the future, he will rely on these industries to marry his son.

It is not easy to marry a wife who is of equal status or even a high-ranking family.

You can't do it without money.

"What you said is the prosperous side of Chang'an City." Li Fu said: "When I left Jingyang Palace and came here, I also saw the ordinary side of Chang'an City."
