For the people, the biggest fun in Chang'an City is the Chu Palace.

First sold the land, then bought a large number of tea trees in the hands of various families, and today opened a tea house, or a shop with a title deed bought at a large price in the West Market.

In the middle, he also rejected a group of West Market businessmen who wanted to cooperate with him and become white-gloved.

And the reason for the refusal was said openly, I hate the collusion between merchants and nobles, and then do not pay taxes, business is business, and taxes are taxes.

This is a completely different operation from other nobles, which makes many people confused, this child is sick.

A lot of people were watching the jokes, and more people were mocking him.

There was even a lot of ridicule in the officialdom, Li Shisheng had a stupid son, and Li Zhiyun's family property was lost.

There is also the king of Chu who is a loser.

Li Shimin's retribution is coming and something like that.

For this reason, Li Kuan's Chu palace welcomed a special guest.

"Second brother, are you okay, it's really not good, I'll ask the imperial doctor to prescribe some medicine for you."

Li Chengqian's face was sad, and his eyes were full of worry.

Looking at Li Chengqian, who was sitting opposite him, Li Kuan sighed faintly: "His Royal Highness the Prince, if you can't speak, don't say it." ”

"Am I sick or not, can I still not know myself?"

Saying that, Li Kuan thinks that Li Chengqian may be sick, this guy doesn't know any pharmacological knowledge, you just saw me eat half a roast chicken, two bowls of rice, and a plate of stir-fried beef, how can you suspect that I am sick.

Which patient can eat so much.

After Li Chengqian returned to the palace, he went to see his grandfather Li Yuan, told him about Li Kuan, and then went to report to his father about Li Kuan's situation.

I can eat, drink, and run, but what I say and do is confusing.

Serious aristocrats, who would refuse to take refuge in businessmen and invest in their own business.

Serious aristocrats, who would say that they hate doing business and not paying taxes.

This naked contempt for tax evasion makes people can't help but wonder, is he really an aristocrat?

Li Shimin was a little puzzled by Li Kuan's behavior, but he still supported it, and he should still be taxed.

Not long after Li Kuan sent Li Chengqian away, when he was studying how to open the teahouse in the West Market, he welcomed another distinguished guest.

During the Tang Dynasty, the Ministry of Civil Affairs Shangshu Xuanling.

"I've seen His Royal Highness the King of Chu."

"I've seen Fang Shangshu."

In the reception hall, Li Kuan asked people to bring the tea brewed in his house and let Fang Xuanling taste it.

"The soup is thick and smooth, the aroma enters the water, the mellow aftertaste, the tea soup enters the throat, the slight bitterness quickly dissolves, the teeth and cheeks are fragrant after swallowing, there is a sense of coolness, the tea of the king of Chu is really the best in the world."

Fang Xuanling commented seriously, Li Kuan smiled, and then asked Uncle Yi to bring two catties.

"Fang Shangshu likes it, then please help recommend more."

Fang Xuanling's face was stagnant, and he smiled bitterly, and could only say yes.

Then Li Kuan asked Fang Xuanling's intention.

Fang Xuanling did not hesitate, and said directly: "I don't know how His Royal Highness the King of Chu views the matter of tax exemption." ”

Li Kuan didn't stretch it either, and said bluntly: "Tax exemption seems to be wooing the aristocracy, but it is actually digging into the corners of the country." ”

"I don't think you can go a thousand miles without accumulating steps; If you don't accumulate small streams, you can't become rivers and seas, although the commercial tax is not much, if you collect it all, you can raise two more Praetorian Guards in a year. ”

Fang Xuanling heard that there were no steps, and there were thousands of miles; If you don't accumulate small streams, you can't become a river and a sea, a good sentence, but can this sentence be explained like this? Interesting.

At the same time, I couldn't help but look at Li Kuan, although he was young, his eyes were clear, his speech was reasonable, and he also had his own understanding of the national system, and he was a talent.

"Then I don't know if His Royal Highness the King of Chu can give up his tax exemption rights and open an opening for the country to attack the tax exemption rights."

Fang Xuanling, say what you mean.

Li Kuan's face remained unchanged, he took a sip of tea, and replied casually: "Yes, as long as Fang Shangshu accompanies me." ”

The anti-general army made Fang Xuanling a little embarrassed.

"Since the king of Chu is unwilling, then the old man should think of other ways."

Fang Xuanling shook his head and sighed.

Li Kuan glanced at him and continued to say calmly: "Fang Shangshu, don't talk nonsense, it's not that I don't want to, it's that you don't want to accompany you." ”

This unforgiving strength made Fang Xuanling's head upset, but Fang Xuanling was not easy to provoke, and counterattacked: "If this matter comes out, I am afraid that I will be hacked to death by someone with a knife, and then I will be chased by the criminal department to commit suicide, the old man is afraid of this, His Royal Highness the King of Chu has to pull me, is he also afraid?" ”

Li Kuan looked at Fang Xuanling, Fang Xuanling also looked at Li Kuan, the two looked at each other and smiled, everything was silent.

That's right, Li Kuan is also afraid.

This is to dig into the interests of the aristocracy, it is really possible to walk on the street and be hacked to death by a knife, and then chase a suicide.

When the time comes, the Criminal Department will tell Li Shimin very rigorously how a person hacked himself to death with a thousand knives and committed suicide.

For Fang Xuanling, Li Kuan put a label on it, and his heart was black.

"Fang Shangshu knows that there will be this result, why do you still come to me to come out."

Li Kuan's words were full of murderous aura, he was still a little angry, and Fang Xuanling said indifferently: "First, let's test whether His Royal Highness the King of Chu is crazy, and second, let's see if I can fool a fool to come forward, in case the fool is successful, I will plan again, this thing is done, and I can also leave my name in history." ”

It's so ruthless, Li Kuan added another label to him.

Thinking about it, Li Kuan beckoned to Uncle Yi: "Take down the two catties of tea for Fang Shangshu, he is too ruthless, we won't send it." ”

This direct style made Fang Xuanling smile bitterly.

Subsequently, Fang Xuanling asked the last question: "Since His Royal Highness the King of Chu knows what he said and who he will offend, then why do you still do this, isn't it good to go with the flow?" ”

Li Kuan sneered and said disdainfully: "Who am I?" King of Chu. ”

"With the back of the Emperor and His Majesty, as long as I don't name and abolish the right to tax exemption, what can they do with me?"

"Is it also sinful for me to shout out and shout two words?"

Fang Xuanling retreated, what you said made sense.

Back home, Fang Xuanling wrote down his conversation with Li Kuan today, and handed it to Li Shimin in the middle of the recital.

Li Shimin couldn't help but smile when he saw Fang Xuanling's performance: "This little guy is not only not sick, but also very smart." ”

How can a teenager who can recognize himself be sick.

After a few days, it was calm, nothing more than the opening of a new teahouse called Caomu in the West Market.

As soon as the teahouse opened, he sent someone to shout at the door of the store: "Everyone, we are a teahouse opened by the Chu Wangfu, and our goal is one, so that you can spend the least amount of money and experience the feeling of drinking tea from the upper class nobles." ”

"We, the King of Chu, are the most authentic nobles, do you want to experience the feeling of his usual tea."

"For only a penny, you can come in and experience the aristocratic tea, and we also give away free storytelling services."

On the opening day, Li Kuan stood on the restaurant opposite the Caomu Teahouse and looked at him.

Sitting opposite Li Kuan was Li Chengqian, who had been following Li Kuan recently.

Last time, he told his mother that Li Kuan had a head disease, and he actually said that the tax exemption was wrong, and he didn't know that the tax exemption could win people's hearts, and he happened to be heard by Li Shimin, and then he was beaten, and Li Shimin asked him to learn more from Li Kuan.

"You let people yell like this, it's too straightforward, I feel so ashamed."

Li Chengqian said he didn't understand.

Li Kuan glanced at him: "Then what's not?" I asked my subordinates to say a bunch of crepe words, can the common people understand? ”
