"I have investigated and found that the people on the street basically cannot afford to make tea soup, but tea culture has always been spread among the upper class society."

"My goal is to satisfy their vanity."

"And just promoting it like this isn't enough. I also have storytellers in my teahouse who tell all kinds of stories, the kind that can only be heard if you buy tea and drink it."

"How about it? Do you want to come? I think the people in Chang'an City live a pretty good life. At least they have spare money to listen to stories."

After Li Xiaogong listened to Li Kuan's thoughts, it was very interesting.

He thought about it for a while. Li Kuan's cost was very low. Li Xiaogong looked at the tea leaves in his bowl. He thought, how can two tea leaves make a big pot? As for the storyteller, their Li family has many servants.

They are slaves, and they are literate. The most important thing is that they don't have to pay wages. Calculating this, it seems that they can do it.

"Okay, I voted. I have a house in Pingkangfang. I can use it by smashing the outer wall."

Li Xiaogong waved his hand to indicate whether this investment was feasible.

Li Kuan looked at him like he was a fool. Do you think I am young and careless?

You invest in a house, and then it goes bankrupt and you take the house back without mentioning any losses. Your house is in Pingkangfang. Do you think you can beat the girls next door with a story and a big bowl of tea?

What kind of short-sighted man would give up a beautiful young lady to listen to novels?

Li Kuan pointed to the gate and said calmly: "Uncle Wang, if you are not sincere, forget it. If I make money when I come back, we will talk about investment and franchise."

"I am small. If this business makes money, there will definitely be a run on it. I will definitely choose the Li family as the first investor. Then everyone will play together."

What Li Kuan said is true. Li Xiaogong is not well. Mad, what should I do if his mind is seen through?

However, Li Xiaogong was so thick-skinned that he decisively said that there was no problem. If you make money and someone tries to rip you off, come to Uncle Wang at any time. Uncle Wang, I will make the decision for you, and the Li family will make the decision for you.

Li Xiaogong left decisively. Before leaving, he saw that the newly brought pastries were good and took away two more boxes.

"Hey, Uncle Wang is a rude man and has never eaten good food. Bring some back to your aunt to try."

Li Kuan didn't care, and even gave him two more boxes, as he is a man of the world.

After Li Xiaogong left, Uncle Yi stepped forward with a very bad expression and said angrily: "Your Highness, the Prince of Hejian County is so rude, let's go to the Supreme Emperor and file a complaint against him."

"We don't take him to play even if we make money."

Li Kuan glanced at Uncle Yi speechlessly, and said helplessly: "If you don't play with the Li family, then who should I play with? Changsun Wuji or those people from Shandong?"

Uncle Yi didn't know how to answer the three rhetorical questions. Li Kuan continued: "I'm young, so it's normal not to be trusted. Do you really believe in me? You have to learn to be tolerant. At most, they will want to join in after making money.

, we can only take another path."

Li Kuan said it very easily. Uncle Yi was a little confused when he heard it. However, he listened to Li Kuan. This is the fate of the Chu Palace and it is irreversible.

At this time, a servant came to report that Li Gang was here.

Li Kuan's eyes lit up. This man is really here. Go to the study quickly.

After Li Gang arrived, he was taken to a special room by his servants. The reason why it was special was that Li Gang saw many servants eating breakfast here.

Soon someone brought a good breakfast to Li Gang.

White porridge, steamed buns, pickles, and I was told to eat enough.

Li Gang drank porridge, ate steamed buns and pickles, and sighed in his heart that the attitudes of nobles towards ordinary people were also different.

After Li Gang finished eating, he was taken to Li Kuan's study. Looking at Minglan Mingyu beside Li Kuan, Li Gang's eyes became darker.

Seeing Li Gang, Li Kuan quickly invited him to sit down and gave him a piece of paper.

"Old man, look at the sentence above and memorize it. This is part of your future work."

Li Gang took it doubtfully. He had doubts in his heart, how did Li Kuan know that he was literate?

However, he didn't ask, and Li Kuan didn't say anything either.

After Li Gang said that he had memorized it, Li Kuan said with a smile: "The old man can just go to Uncle Yi and take two kilograms of tea back. You can come back in five days."

Is this too simple? Li Gang was a little confused.

I took ten thousand yuan of money from others and wasted my time like this every month. Isn’t it a bit sorry for other people’s money?

Li Gang hesitated and asked if he wanted to do something else.

This attitude of wanting to work made Li Kuan couldn't help but laugh. He is really a real person.

Li Kuan told him no, if Li Gang really wanted to help, just go back and have tea every day.

Don't worry about the rest.

However, Li Kuan asked Li Gang to help sign a three-year labor contract. Within three years, Li Gang could only endorse Li Kuan's tea. Li Kuan paid him ten thousand yuan every month. If Li Gang broke the contract and endorsed other teas, he would have to

Pay Li Kuan three thousand guan as compensation.

Li Gang signed with a smile. He thought it was very good. This contract was very reasonable.

Take other people's money to eliminate disasters with them. If you take the other person's money, you have to do the other person's work.

Then Li Kuan asked Uncle Yi to report to the government. As for whether Datang had a similar labor law, Li Kuan said that when he made money, someone would add it.

After seeing Li Gang off, Li Kuan took Minglan and the two guards arranged for him by Uncle Yi and went to the West Market.

The West Market mainly sells daily necessities and gathers businessmen from all over the world. It is also where Li Kuan wanted a teahouse.

After entering, Li Kuan looked around at the people coming and going.

Most people wear long robes. Although they have been washed and turned white, you can still see a few people wearing new clothes from time to time.

In addition, Li Kuan discovered that the West Market had become prosperous at this time, and he could occasionally see a few foreigners here.

These foreigners sell specialties from other places.

Locals also sell many local specialties.

"This is all money."

Looking at those outsiders, Li Kuan muttered.

Minglan followed Li Kuan carefully, while the two guards glanced around with sharp eyes.

Walking along the West Market, Li Kuan occasionally saw inns, but most of the time he saw businessmen.

When he arrived at the middle of the West Market, Li Kuan saw that the crowd gathering here was gradually increasing.

However, there are also more shops selling rice and noodles.

Seeing these stores selling grain, Li Kuan shook his head, it was really not good.

"Li Liu, how much would it cost to buy a shop and open a teahouse here?"

Li Kuan suddenly asked the guard behind him.

The younger of the two guards quickly replied: "Your Highness, if you buy it, it will probably be free of charge. There will be many businessmen who want to cooperate with you."

Li Kuan shook his head and sighed: "I hate that businessmen use my name to evade taxes. This country belongs to our Li family. Evading our taxes is equivalent to stealing our money."

"Go back. Just know that there are a lot of people in Xishi. Let Uncle Yi do the shopping for the shop."

Minglan and the two guards did not understand Li Kuan's words.

A country is a country, and a family is a family. The former is the whole, and the latter is a certain family. Can the country and the family be completely integrated into one?

If Li Kuan knew what the three of them were thinking, he would tell them, he would.
