Zhenguan Xiaoxian Wang Li Shen Li Shimin

Li Shen had long coveted Furong Garden, but unfortunately he couldn't buy it because it was a royal garden.

It is much better than Li Shen’s manor, with mountains, water, pavilions and towers.

For example, Leyouyuan is the highest place in Furong Garden with beautiful scenery. The saying "The sunset is infinitely beautiful, but it is near dusk" comes from Leyouyuan.

There is also the Apricot Garden, where newly-appointed scholars are entertained. The saying "Riding a gallop in the spring breeze, and seeing all the flowers in Chang'an in one day" comes from the Apricot Garden.

There are also Caixia Pavilion, Wangchun Pavilion and Penglai Mountain, which are all rare and beautiful places.

Li Tai looked at Li Shen's fiery eyes and couldn't help but shudder, and quickly shook his head:

"Tenth brother, Hibiscus Garden is a royal forbidden garden. Although it was given to me by my father, I only have the right to use it, not the right to own it. It cannot be bought or sold."

"Really?" Li Shen turned his head to look at Li Chengqian, meaning that he was lying to me.

"Humph, you, Prince Ji, are so arrogant that you even want to buy the Imperial Palace. Do you want me to sell you this palace too?"

Before Li Chengqian could answer, Li Shimin snorted coldly.

"Okay...I can't seem to afford it." Li Shen nodded instinctively, but immediately changed his words.

The palace is indeed a good place. It is big enough and grand enough. With a little renovation, it will be better than his palace.

The important thing is that there is a large royal garden behind Xuanwu Gate, with many wild animals, and you can go hunting when you have nothing to do.

It is not far from the Wei River and has convenient transportation.

The most important thing is that it is connected to the half-built Daming Palace in the northeast.

This was originally built by my father for my grandfather, but my grandfather passed away the following year.

In order to commemorate the late emperor, my father changed the name to Daming Palace and then stopped construction.

If he could really buy the palace, Li Shen would make a fortune. Of course, this was just his fantasy. Unless he rebelled and became emperor, how could he possibly buy the Taiji Palace?

He also knew that his father was trying to pressure him, meaning that he was being so arrogant and wanted to buy Furong Garden.

"Hey? What did you three buy when you left the palace?" Li Shen quickly changed the subject and looked at the three little ones.

"Let's go to Beimoting and take a look. Isn't it almost the New Year's Eve?"

Cheng Yang replied.

"Oh? How is the business this year?" Li Shen asked. He still had shares in this Mo Ting wine. He knew that he had come up with the recipes for all kinds of wine.

"Using Brother Shi's method, we have turned losses into profits. Many people come here to drink every day."

Chengyang replied.

"That's good. Since you want to save up for your dowry, this cup of Mo Ting is enough."

Li Shen nodded.

“Tenth Brother, although the business is good, the profit share is not much. There are too many people involved. Bei Moting has only opened a few locations now, Chang’an City, Industrial Park, and Luoyang City.

A dozen people share the money, and each person only gets a few thousand strings of cash a year."

Sizi sighed and said, "There were more than a dozen princesses involved in this, and the annual profit was tens of thousands of strings of cash, so everyone had very little left."

"A few thousand strings of cash are you still not satisfied? Back then, I only earned a few hundred strings of cash a month. Take your time, and when you get married, you will definitely have a dowry of ten thousand strings of cash."

Li Shen counseled. One cannot achieve everything in one go; one must take things one step at a time.

"Tenth brother, this year you took away 20% of the total amount of over ten thousand strings of cash, and the remaining 80% was shared by the dozen or so of us.

When will we be able to have a grand wedding like Sister Meng Jiang?

The young Hengshan finally said the meaning of the three words.

They all saw the scene when Li Mengjiang got married. The dowry was lined up from the palace all the way to the Zhou family. The scene made them envious.

All the princesses dreamed of getting married like Li Mengjiang, but unfortunately they didn't have a brother like Li Shen.

Although the third child was the legitimate daughter and the prince's biological sister, she was still inferior to Li Mengjiang.

That's why they wanted to save more money to make their dowries more generous, and formed Bei Mo Ting.

But Li Shen took away 20% of the profit for himself, and the remaining 80% was divided among the dozen or so people, with each person getting a little bit.

"What? You still want me to give up that 20%?" Li Shen immediately understood what the three meant.

It seemed like he had taken away tens of thousands of strings of profit.

"Well...Brother Ten, can you give up another 10%?" Xiao Sizi asked cautiously.

"Even if I give up 10%, with more than a dozen of you, each of you will only get a few hundred strings of cash. You might as well think about how to make Bei Moting earn more.

Now that many counties and cities are becoming wealthy, have you ever considered opening a beer-making business in other counties and cities?"

Li Shen didn't care about the 10% dividend, which was only a few thousand strings of cash, but it was a drop in the bucket for them.

"Sister Lizhi also said so. We plan to open Beimoting restaurants in other places starting next year." Chengyang replied.

"Okay, let's go back and eat. The food will get cold soon."

At this time, Empress Changsun spoke, and the group of people chatted here for a long time without eating.

After hearing this, the three little ones bowed and retreated.

"Tenth Brother, that matter about Fourth Brother losing weight..."

Li Tai asked at this time, he had not forgotten this matter.

"Give me the money, anytime. One thousand strings of cash and one pound of gold." Li Shen refused to budge.

"You..." Li Tai was speechless. One catty cost one thousand strings of cash. If he lost one hundred catties, it would be one hundred thousand strings of cash. This was too expensive.

"Shen'er, mother will pay this money for Qingque, as long as it can make Qingque lose weight."

Empress Changsun suddenly spoke.

"Guanyin Bi." Li Shimin shouted immediately. It was obvious that Li Shen was trying to trick Li Tai. Why did his first wife jump into it?

"Erlang, Shen'er is right. He has contributed both money and labor. We can't let Shen'er pay for it himself.

Qingque must lose weight. I'm really afraid that he'll have problems after a while."

Empress Changsun said this worriedly, almost saying that the elderly were sending the young away.

Li Shimin sighed, and when his wife was worried about their son, he looked at Li Shen and said calmly:

"Five hundred strings of cash per pound, please. I forgive you for your disobedience just now."

"Deal!" Li Shen agreed without even thinking. He hadn't wanted so much in the first place. Five hundred guan per catty was already pretty good. Li Tai's base was too high.

"Old Wang, go and write a contract." Li Shen stretched his neck and shouted to Wang De.

"What? Are you still afraid that I won't keep my promise?" Li Shimin immediately frowned and glared at him, as if he didn't trust himself.

"No, no, it's just that since there's a deal, there should be a contract, and we also have a deadline and a goal, right?

See how it goes when I lose at least 50 pounds in two months.

If this goal is not achieved, I will not take a penny."

Li Shen waved his hands quickly, but nodded in his heart, because he was afraid that you would default on the debt. Fifty kilograms and twenty-five thousand strings of cash were already good.

Li Shimin thought about it and nodded in agreement:

"Okay, Wang De will draft the contract."

(I lost 1 catties today.)
