Kidnapped by Princess Changle at the beginning

You know, these tens of thousands of guan are still the savings that Kong Yingda has saved for many years.

According to his character of treating money like dung, if he spends five thousand at once, he may not be able to make up for this big hole in several years.

Kong Yingda gritted her teeth and said, "Son, daddy needs a sum of money urgently now, go and get five thousand coins."

Five thousand?

The three sons were taken aback.

Kong Zhiyuan hurriedly asked: "Father, why do you need so much money? Are you...have you been cheated?"

Kong Yingda showed a bitter expression: "I can't tell you about this for the time being, go get it quickly, I can only tell you that I am doing a great thing."

Saying that, even Kong Yingda herself didn't believe it.

In his opinion, Chen Chu is a big liar.

Cheat my money!

cheat my trust!

I can no longer trust that kid's mouth.

He has reasons.

But I can't tell my sons.

Because, compared to losing [-] pennies, he felt it was too shameful to be cheated by a kid at such a young age.

Not long after, Kong Zhiyuan asked someone to fetch five thousand guan.

Kong Yingda waved his hand and said, "Send someone to Duke Lu's mansion."

Kong Zhiyuan complied.

In the afternoon, Kong Zhiyuan was angry in the backyard.

The butler came in and asked, "Master, the kitchen is preparing today's dinner. Look, what are you going to eat today? How many dishes would you like to eat?"

Kong Yingda thought for a while: "Let's have porridge tonight."

Eat porridge?

The butler was astonished and asked, "Master, do you only eat porridge?"

Kong Yingda said angrily: "This family is already in a bad situation. It's good to have porridge and wine. Order me to go on. During this time, I will only eat porridge."

Butler: "However, there is still a lot of meat in the kitchen, and it will stink if you put it any longer."

Kong Yingda waved his hand: "Then sell it quickly, and you can get back some money."

housekeeper:"……"

The frying pan immediately exploded in the house.

Although the Kong family is not rich, they can't feast on fish and meat.

But life has always been okay.

It's all right now, let's eat porridge instead.

Many people are dumbfounded.

……

at dinner time.

In the main hall.

Kong Yingda only ate a bowl of porridge before putting down his chopsticks.

Seeing that the eldest son Kong Zhiyuan was already eating the fourth bowl, the boss Kong Yingda said unhappily: "Zhiyuan, you are not young anymore, you should also pay attention to moderation, and eat less for dinner..."

Kong Zhiyuan said sadly: "Father, this porridge doesn't have any oil and water, and it's not too thin. I really can't get enough..."

Kong Yingda said: "Won't you tighten your trouser pockets like Dad?"

Three sons: "..."

The sons didn't know what happened.

But they all had a bad feeling.

……

Chapter 124 The Stingy Old Kong

Kong Zhiyuan asked with a puzzled expression: "Father, our family still has more than 2 yuan in surplus. Even if it doesn't come into the account in the future, it will be enough to spend on the family for several years. What's more, our brothers all have salaries. Eat porridge instead..."

"That's right, dad, I'm really not hungry after eating this porridge!"

The second and third sons also said.

Snapped.

Kong Yingda patted the table and said: "What do you know? As the old saying goes, success comes from frugality and failure comes from extravagance. In the past, I was too used to you and made you used to squandering. You need to know that a penny and a grain of food are everything. It's not easy to come by, dad told you to eat porridge now, it's to be prepared for danger in times of peace..."

Several sons looked at each other.

The dignified Confucian family actually changed to porridge, no one would believe it.

They knew that their father had always been stingy, but they didn't expect to be so stingy.

In fact, Kong Yingda was motivated entirely by the five thousand pens.

After dinner.

Everyone sat in the main hall and drank tea.

Since there is not much oil and water in the porridge, everyone present feels extremely hungry.

Drinking cup after cup of tea.

The sons were miserable.

Kong Yingda enjoyed it, and even showed a faint smile on his face.

Suddenly, Kong Zhiyuan asked: "Father, you said that our family is very poor now, but I think this tea must be very expensive, why can we still drink it with an open stomach?"

Kong Yingda smiled slightly: "Because, this tea leaves don't cost money."

The three brothers of the Kong family: "..."

What everyone drank was the tea that Kong Yingda picked up from Chen Chu.

And this tea didn't cost a penny.

Therefore, Kong Yingda drank boldly.

I don't feel bad at all!

Seeing the sons not doing anything, Kong Yingda waved his hand: "Drink, why are you staring blankly? If you drink too much, you won't be hungry at night!"

……

Kong Yingda's five thousand guns were delivered, and Chen Chu immediately started to build a paper mill.

Zhu Neng and others were also mobilized by him to Chang'an City.

The location of the paper mill is just beside a small river outside the east gate.

Chen Chu was not familiar with the place of life in Chang'an City, so he planned to take Cheng Chumo to work together, but Cheng Chumo was a captain of the Longwu Army, he was busy with business and had no time at all.

When Chen Chu was worried, Cheng Chubi suddenly stood up: "Uncle, I want to help."

Chen Chu turned around, looked at the other party, and asked, "Are you okay?"

Cheng Chubi patted his chest and said, "Uncle, I can't fight, but I can still work, let me try..."

Chen Chu nodded and asked Cheng Chubi to try.

After this test, Chen Chu was surprised to find that this kid turned out to be a talent.

Regardless of his young age, he does things in an orderly manner, especially when he takes care of the newly recruited craftsmen. He is not at all as cowardly as he was when he was besieged by the four big dudes.

Chen Chu also confidently handed over the construction of the paper mill to Cheng Chubi, and he ran to wander around Chang'an City with Li Lizhi, and returned to Lu Guogong's mansion when it was almost dark.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Mrs. Cheng approaching.

Mrs. Cheng pulled Chen Chu aside and said, "Fifth Brother, why are you coming back now? Master Kong has been waiting for you in the mansion for a whole day. He must teach you poetry."

Lao Kong is here?

Chen Chu smiled.

Madam Cheng suddenly asked mysteriously: "Fifth brother, did you make Master Kong angry yesterday?"

"Why did sister-in-law say that?" Chen Chu asked curiously.

Mrs. Cheng clapped her hands and said: "You don't know, Master Kong came to the mansion early in the morning and asked Lao Cheng to cook for him. He ate a big bowl, and he also ate a bowl at lunch. , You said that at his age, he eats more than our old Cheng, isn't he so angry... You go to the study, don't make him angry, let's not talk, I'm going to play mahjong! "

With that said, Mrs. Cheng flew away.

Chen Chu was at a loss.

Old Kong can eat, what does it matter to me?

He shook his head, walked into the yard, and into the study.

In the study, on the chair, Kong Yingda leaned on the back of the chair, already asleep.

Chen Chu walked in.

He woke up suddenly and said, "Don't move, I still want to eat..."

Chen Chu laughed loudly: "Oh, old Kong, outsiders only know that you are the son of the state offering wine, after the sage, and the master of Confucianism, they think you don't eat the fireworks of the world. Unexpectedly, you can also dream..."

Kong Yingda wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, and said, "Who says saints don't eat fireworks, boy, you came just in time, hurry up..."

Because of Chen Chu, Lao Kong wanted to pressure himself to learn poetry.

Who ever thought that what Kong Yingda said was: "Make me a cup of tea!"

Chen Chu made Kong Yingda a cup of tea with a confused face.

Then, Kong Yingda asked: "Chen Chu, you said that you are partnering with me in the paper business. When will you be able to sell it?"

Old Kong didn't know what to do.

To be honest, he didn't sleep all night last night.

I was thinking about the paper business in my heart, worried that my five thousand bamboo baskets would be empty.

Chen Chu smiled and said: "Old Kong, the paper mill is already under construction, and I also asked Chu Bi to set up a shop in Dongshi. The first batch of paper can be sold within five days at most."

Kong Yingda asked, "How much do you plan to sell for a foot?"

Chen Chu stretched out five fingers.

Kong Yingda: "Five hundred Wen? Will it be a loss..."

Chen Chu shook his head: "Five strings are worth one foot."

"What," Kong Yingda exclaimed, "Are you crazy? The best rattan paper only costs two pennies, but you actually want to sell this paper for five pennies?"

Chen Chu smiled without saying a word.

Of course he knew that this kind of paper could be sold for less than five pennies.

In the future, it may be lower than [-] Wen.

Just like that soap, the cost is tens of pennies, and the reasonable price is only a few hundred pennies.

But Chen Chu dared to sell fifty guan.

Because, he is not selling this thing as a general commodity, but a luxury.

The same is diamonds, ordinary diamonds are not very expensive, but the heart of the ocean is a priceless treasure.

The same is the bag, the ordinary bag is cheap, but no one thinks that the donkey brand is expensive.

Of course, he couldn't tell Kong Yingda this.

Old Kong couldn't understand it at first sight!
