Going to the beach, fishing on a small iron boat, picking papayas, shopping, and visiting various workshops, there were new and fun things to do every day. After ten days or so, the little ones had a great time.

Li Zhi also eliminated the fatigue of the journey through various new experiences. After Wang Zhen dealt with the backlog of government affairs in his hands, he began to prepare for the voyage.

According to Li Zhi's request, we can go a little further and go to some unknown areas, but this requires more adequate preparation.

The 20th day of the first lunar month is a good time to travel. Wang Zhen took everyone to a place called Shenshuishe, 50 miles south, and introduced it to everyone.

"This place was originally a natural harbor. After a little renovation, it became a pier. The local fishing villagers often came ashore to cook seafood here, so they called this place Hong Kong."

"Hong Kong." Wang Zheng showed a trace of nostalgia on his face and smiled: "Hong Kong is great, let's call this place Hong Kong from now on."

Li Zhi raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Such a small place name can actually be recognized by the chief steward. This place will definitely be extraordinary in the future."

Li Dan nodded vigorously and said, "Yes, this time I went out and exchanged all my pocket money and treasures for big bills from the bank, which amounted to more than a thousand strings of cash."

Li Xian smiled and said, "I am willing to give up my fiefdom in exchange for the right to operate freely."

Li Zhi laughed and said, "You guys work hard. As long as you do well, your father will support you even more."

Li Dan kissed Li Zhi directly, "Thank you, father."

"otherwise."

As long as all the fiefs are taken back into the hands of the imperial court, many things will be much easier in the future, such as exemption from corvée and grain taxes.

Take this place for example. Regardless of the gains, the investment of the princes has made this place prosperous. In essence, this is a good thing. As long as it is within the scope of Tang law, no one should interfere. "

Li Xian smiled and said, "I don't have any money either, but I plan to borrow 100,000 strings of cash from a bank for investment. The interest is only 1% a year anyway, so I can pay it back when I return to Chang'an."

If one wants to exempt the people from taxes and grain, the royal fiefdom is always a hurdle that cannot be avoided. Even though grain is becoming less and less valuable now, it is still theirs and it is not so easy to ask them to give it up.

A reward of 50 million strings of cash a day was almost all the tax revenue of the Tang Dynasty in a year. However, for Li Zhi now, it was not worth mentioning. The interest he received from the money houses every year was almost this amount. He had too much money to spend.

However, if princes like Li Xian could take the lead in eliminating their fiefs first, and then push back and give some compensation to other royal heroes, I believe things would be much easier.

Li Zhi nodded and said with a smile, "That's true. The world is changing all the time, and the royal family should indeed make some changes. That little fief is indeed not as profitable as a good business. You can try to invest more. If you don't like that little fief in the future, you can start the reform."

"Haha, you're welcome. The chief steward is very strict with you. If you have more money in the future, you can do something on your own. I want to see your future achievements."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your generous gift."

Li Dan looked up and asked, "Father, can we make a lot of money by investing here?"

"I'm saving pocket money for my sister." Li Dan answered seriously, and then continued to ask: "Can I make a lot of money by investing here?"

Then Li Zhi said to Wang Ping'an and Xiao Yuehua: "I will also give you 10 million strings of cash each, and you two can try to do some business."

Li Zhi laughed and said, "Haha, that's quite a lot. Give the money to your third brother and ask him to help you invest in some shops for rent. Maybe you can really make some extra pocket money in the future."

Wang Zheng shook his head and explained: "Investment is a commercial behavior, and buying and selling is the fairest thing. You have to invest first before you can get a reward, and sometimes you may not get a reward even if you invest.

"Haha." Li Zhi laughed and picked up his youngest son, and asked, "What do you do with your money, Dan'er?"

Li Zhi raised his eyebrows and asked, "This is indeed a faster way to make money than a fief, but it seems like you are making profits from the people, right?"

You guys go ahead and give it a try. If it’s really more cost-effective than the fief, then from now on, the prince’s fiefdoms will start with you.”

"Ha ha."

Li Xian thought about it and said, "Then I'll invest a little too."

Wang Zheng nodded and exclaimed: "This is how the royal property should be acquired. With your knowledge and priority right to know, wealth is everywhere. Why wait for His Majesty to allocate states and counties to you?"

Li Zhi nodded and asked Li Xian, "Xian'er, do you want to invest some as well? It would be easier if we let your third senior brother take care of it."

Li Zhi nodded and said with a smile, "That's for sure. Your master is revered as the new god of wealth by the world. Wherever he is, there is endless wealth. Your brothers and sisters are not bad either. This place has been favored by your brother, and your master has named it. With all this luck, investing here is guaranteed to make a lot of money."

Wang Zhen smiled at Li Dan and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness, your investment is guaranteed to be profitable."

Li Zhi laughed and said, "Very good, very good, my son has such ambitions, I am very pleased, how about this, you don't have to borrow money from the bank, I will directly allocate an account of 10 million guan for each of you to use as starting capital.

Li Xian nodded, "Then invest a little, but I don't have much money with me, so it may not be of much use."

The brother and sister looked at Wang Zheng at the same time. After Wang Zheng pondered for a moment, he nodded and said with a smile: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

The world has become so vast, and there is wealth everywhere. As a prince, I can live a good life anywhere. Why should I be trapped in my fiefdom without freedom and live like a bird in a cage?

Li Zhi asked with a smile: "Does Dan have money to invest?"

Then Li Zhi looked at Wang Zheng and said, "The prince has been deprived of his fiefdom, which is considered to have satisfied the chief steward's wishes, right?

At this time, shouldn't you, as a gentleman, also show some appreciation? In recent years, the chief steward has rarely used any secret methods."

Wang Zheng nodded, and after a moment of silence, he smiled and said, "Well, since your majesty has cornered me, I should show some appreciation. There are plenty of secret techniques at the dojo, so I won't embarrass myself.

However, there is still one ordinary legal minister. Although the profit may not be very much, it can be a long-term and never-ending stream of income. I hope you don't despise it."

Li Zhi laughed and said, "Then tell me quickly. The chief steward's moves must be extraordinary."
