Unlike his father, Li Zhi often went out of the palace, and he heard all the big and small things happening in Fangcheng.

Of course, Shen An's huge fortune from selling rock candy would not escape his ears, but as he was broad-minded and loyal, he would not take this matter to heart, let alone spread it to the imperial court.

What's more, these days, he has been helping Shen An to cover up, intentionally or unintentionally, and warned people in the inner palace not to spread this matter to his father.

Who knows, there is no airtight wall in this world after all, and the news was still known to him.

Who told the secret?

How abominable!

"I just heard that he teaches classes at Shen's house. That shouldn't be considered a business."

He had no choice but to use this excuse first. A suspicious look appeared on Li Shimin's face, and Li Zhi quickly changed the topic to the upcoming dragon boat race.

Fortunately, Shen Zhai arrived soon, and Li Shimin could see the truth with his own eyes without waiting too long.

"Your Majesty is here!" Eunuch Xu shouted loudly, and the door of Shen's mansion opened immediately. Someone seemed to have just learned the news and rushed out of the house.

Li Shimin slowly entered Shen An's mansion, surrounded by a group of guards and maids. It was not until this moment that he had a personal understanding of the majesty of the emperor.

To be honest, when he and his dozen or so young guards lived together in this house, he often felt that the house was too big and empty.

This standard official residence of the Tang Dynasty was too big and too luxurious for Shen An, who had traveled from modern times.

You know, in his last life, when he was a street writer, he was a poor guy who could only rent a small one-bedroom apartment.

My closest companions all day long are a broken computer with an upturned keyboard, wine bottles and plastic buckets of instant noodles all over the floor.

If you're not careful, there won't even be a place to stand in the house.

Therefore, he always believed that this house was quite spacious as his residence.

Until Li Shimin's visit, this idea was instantly shattered.

Ever since he stepped into the house, Shen An felt a strong pressure, as if all time and space had frozen.

The house began to tilt in the direction of Li Shimin, and the house became so small, as if there were a thousand people standing in the yard. The feeling was so overwhelming that he couldn't breathe.

Shen An guessed that Li Shimin's aura was too strong, causing time and space to be distorted.

Behind the smiling Li Shimin and Li Zhi, Xiao Yu's secretly rubbing figure appeared. Haha, it turned out that this old man was the one who told the secret.

This life is really unbearable, how could I provoke such a person?

Li Shimin didn't speak immediately. He was shocked by the people in the courtyard.

What is Shen An doing?

Why are there so many people in the yard? They are all dressed in different clothes. It looks like they have been put together temporarily.

Could it be that the truth of the matter, just like what the pheasant slave said, was just teaching in a class?

With this assumption, Li Shimin's face looked better.

"I didn't know that Your Majesty is here, but I am missing you from afar, so I ask Your Majesty to forgive me." Shen An bowed with an extremely humble attitude.

Everyone is here, how can they be held accountable for such a trivial matter? Li Shimin is not a fool, he is very wise and tolerant.

Shen An spoke like this because he knew his nature.

Li Shimin sent away some of the eunuchs and maids. The courtyard was too small, there were too many people, and it was too crowded.

"Shen An, I heard that you have made more than 100,000 yuan in business in the city. Is this happening?" Li Shimin was a cheerful person, and he did not hesitate to give in. He got straight to the point.

Shen An put on a good expression, sincere and frank, and responded: "Weichen did make a lot of money, but it was not from doing business, but from imparting knowledge. The money was all the tuition fees given to me by the apprentices." .”

Li Shimin glanced suspiciously. What Shen An said was no different from Li Zhi's. Could it be that the two of them had colluded?

Shen An fully understood what he meant. He stepped aside and led Li Shimin. Shimin left Li Zhi and others behind and followed him as he walked among the desks.

Looking at the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the desk, as well as the notes filled with circles drawn by the apprentices, Li Shimin also had a preliminary understanding of the matter.

Xiao Yu would never sit still and wait for death. Although Li Shimin didn't ask him to follow, he still took the initiative to follow and looked around from time to time.

I want to find some clues from them.

"Your Majesty, you see, I am teaching how to make rock candy. These are the apprentices brought by Boss Wei."

Boss Wei stepped forward at the right time and saluted.

As soon as he saw the fat, oily look and the smile on his face, Li Shimin knew that this man must be doing business in the East and West markets.

"Tell me, did you bring all these boys?" Li Shimin looked at several groups of people and finally chose Boss Wei.

Shen An stood there as if he was respectful. Boss Wei knew how to answer without having to communicate with his eyes.

If you want your business to do well in the future, you can't let Shen An have bad luck, otherwise it will be of no benefit to anyone.

"Reporting to your Majesty, it is indeed the case."

"Boss Shen, ah, no, it's Mr. Shen who has been helping the villain train apprentices. Not only that, he also taught us how to cook, imparted a lot of knowledge on health care, and was very generous to us." Shen An's face looked happy, and he was smart. Cooperation means peace of mind.

Boss Wei's performance far exceeded his expectations, which was such a surprise.

"How does he charge?"

Although Boss Wei was talking about Zhou Xiang, Li Shimin was not a fool. How much money he received was the key point.

If it's just a little bit, of course you can ignore it because Shen An is also doing good things, but if he's using the excuse of teaching to make money, you have to think twice.

Boss Wei was stunned for a moment and was caught by Li Shimin. It seemed that the price must be terrifying.

"Teach eight apprentices, five days of lessons, ten dollars." When it came to the final price, Boss Wei's voice was almost inaudible.

But Li Shimin still knew it, and his heart skipped a beat.

He raised his eyes and glanced at Shen An, full of contempt.

Little doll, your heart is so dark!

Ten guan coins is equivalent to a gold ingot.

"Shen An, what's going on!" His voice obviously rose several times, full of anger.

Even though Shen An was well prepared, he was still frightened.

"Your Majesty, although Wei Chen has set the price of the course a bit high, it is worth every penny."

"Value for money?" Li Shimin had a mocking face, not even believing a word of it.

"Of course, of course."

"Your Majesty, please take a look."

Shen An stood in front of the chef's door. Although Li Shimin was very angry, thinking of Shen Quan's life-saving grace, he still walked over.

Shen An showed him all the equipment, including the raw materials.

"Your Majesty, please see, the raw material for making rock candy is light and high sugar. According to the current market price, a bag of light and high sugar costs two guan."

Objectively speaking, Li Shimin can be regarded as an emperor who grew up among the people. Until he was thirty years old, he fought everywhere and traveled all over the country.

He has a deep understanding of folk things and customs, but after all, he has been the emperor for ten years, and folk things have changed too much, and he is no longer familiar with them.

I never expected that this white and soft candy would be so expensive.

Although light high sugar is considered a luxury product in the countryside, it can be seen everywhere in the palace and you can eat it if you want.

It turns out that just one bag costs two dollars!
