The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

The contents of the auction items should be announced in advance, so that everyone knows that this auction is not all about special tea, which is out of reach for ordinary people. Even if you participate in the auction and cannot buy tea, you can bid for some other things.

After the auction items were posted in the teahouse and tavern, the people in Chang'an City started a new topic.

Originally, only the wealthy families would participate in this auction.

Now, the public content has also attracted many female relatives of wealthy families. There are many things in it that make them very excited.

But don't underestimate these female relatives. The wealth they control is not necessarily small.

Especially the married women from high-class families.

Not to mention that they are in charge of the household affairs at home, the financial power of the house is in their hands. Even the dowry they bring when they get married is not a small amount. The annual income of the land and shops included in the dowry is also exclusive to them.

Over the years, the accumulated wealth should not be underestimated.

And the heads of well-known families, who also have many properties under their names, will not spend their wives' dowries on weekdays. After all, if they spend their wives' dowries, they will not be able to tell others about it. They will not be able to raise their heads in the famous circles of Chang'an City and will be looked down upon by others.

There is a soap workshop on the farm, and correspondingly, there is a soap shop in Chang'an City. Originally, soap is a daily consumable. Li Fu thought that this thing can make money, but he didn't expect to make so much money.

Now a series of industries on the farm want people to expand the scale of production crazily.

That's all money.

Last year, the egg-changing workshop was banned. Now, the Jingyang Palace no longer does the egg-changing business.

After this business was handed over to other members of the Li family, egg-changing workshops are everywhere. This thing is worthless and there is not much profit.

Compared with other industries in the manor, it is better to empty the workshop and make something more profitable.

Even if you want to make preserved eggs or preserved eggs in the house, you just need to make a few jars in your kitchen and keep them for yourself.

How much can you eat at home? There are many kinds of dishes in the kitchen of the palace now, and the chefs can make a lot of them, so preserved eggs are naturally out of the question.

The teahouse where the auction is to be held is no longer open to the public. Three days are enough for the decoration inside. There is no need to make too many changes. With the existing layout, it is enough to decorate. It is nothing more than adding exhibition stands, rearranging tables and chairs in order, adjusting the position numbers, and then the private rooms on the second floor. The number plates need to be hung again, and blank wooden signs need to be prepared. After the invitations to the private rooms are settled, the names should be written on the blank wooden signs and hung at the door of the room.

A separate room should be reserved for the corridor along the street on the second floor, which is used by the waiters of the teahouse to call out names to the public, so that people who are watching the excitement outside can know the news inside.

After all, Li Fu wants to "make famous" those who pay for this grand event.

A small trick can be used to directly control it.

The topic of all people in Chang'an City recently cannot be separated from the auction. They are all discussing how this auction will be held. Moreover, now that the things have been released, why haven't invitations been sent out?

The wealthy families in Chang'an City are also curious. The albums have been delivered, so shouldn't the invitations and the albums be delivered together? Why didn't the invitations arrive?

So, they asked people to inquire.

The people from the teahouse came to deliver the albums, but they just handed the albums to the doorman and then left. They didn't see the housekeepers or the people in charge of each family.

When the masters of each family asked the housekeepers, the housekeepers realized what they felt was wrong.

There are no invitations.

So, everyone started to find ways to ask. Those who had a good relationship with Li Fu, such as Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong, went directly to ask for it.

"Huairen, you are not happy now. Why don't you have an invitation until now? Do you want me to come in person for this matter?" Cheng Yaojin sat down in the hall.

"For this charity auction, the invitations are not given out." Li Fu smiled: "They are to be sold."

"Sell?" Cheng Yaojin put down the tea bowl and looked at Li Fu in disbelief: "Do you have to pay for the invitations?"

Li Fu nodded seriously.

"Yes, there is still a threshold for this auction, and the threshold is much higher than the last time. Whether it is the invitations in the hall or the invitations to the private rooms on the second floor, there are fixed prices." Li Fu said: "The first invitations to the first floor hall, the worst position, also require fifty strings of cash."

Cheng Yaojin's eyes widened.eyes.

"Huairen, are you crazy about money? However, your Jingyang Palace has indeed spent a lot of money this year, but you don't have to be so anxious to get your money back." Cheng Yaojin said: "You are a little reckless in this matter. Listen to my advice and don't do this."

Li Fu smiled and shook his head.

"You misunderstood. This money is not in my pocket in the end. Didn't His Majesty say in the court? If you want to set up a charity, all this money will go to the charity. Jingyang Palace will not take a penny."

"In the end, this money will still be used for the people. In the past two years, the people of the Tang Dynasty have had a hard time, and the court has not had an easy time. With such a gimmick, I can get a lot of money. It can be regarded as my contribution. The industries under the Jingyang Palace have worked hard to put up such a show. The audience can't not pay a penny, right?"

"The items for auction are limited in quantity. It is definitely not to meet the needs of everyone present, and the extra people can't just earn tea fees, right?"

"They are all kind-hearted and voluntary. If they don't want to, I didn't force them to spend these fifty strings of cash to buy such an invitation, right?"

"The price has been released, and there are people who need it, which means that this thing is reasonable."

Cheng Yaojin sighed when he heard it.

Although the matter was discussed in the court, it was impossible to guess what the final outcome would be.

Cheng Yaojin was worried that Li Fu's reputation would be damaged if he handled the matter improperly.

"As for my brother, the third floor is not open to the public." Li Fu smiled and said, "If you want to come and see the fun, you have to come in advance so that we can arrange it in advance."

Given Li Fu's relationship with them, if he accepted their money again, it would be Li Fu's ignorance.

However, Li Fu also had some considerations.

Because he didn't know whether Li Shimin would bring his right-hand men with him like last time.
