Kidnapped by Princess Changle at the beginning

Among the several technologies that Chen Chu has mastered, popsicles are actually the simplest, and it probably won't be long before they are figured out by someone with a heart, so it's better to sell them as soon as possible and cheat Lao Li a fortune.

When Li Er heard this, his eyes lit up.

Li Er: "A promise?"

Chen Chu: "It's a deal, if you don't believe it, we can make written evidence."

Li Er waved his hand, saying no.

As long as Chen Chu agrees.

If you dare to renege on your debt at that time, I have a hundred ways to make you unable to survive or die.

Li Er went back contentedly.

Chen Chu looked at Li Er's back, but fell into deep thought.

……

It was dark.

A well-dressed, plump woman walked into the salt shop in Dongshi.

She went out to buy salt.

When I saw this salt shop, I came in without thinking too much.

The woman said: "Shopkeeper, weigh one or two fine salts."

The shopkeeper hurriedly got up, weighed a tael of refined salt, wrapped it in paper, and handed it over: "Guest officer, it's ten guan dollars in total."

The woman frowned suddenly: "What, ten pennies, you shopkeeper, why don't you rob it? How can the best refined salt be so expensive?"

Even the finest refined salt in Chang'an City cannot be sold at such a high price.

Besides, this salt store looks like a small store at first glance, and it is not well-known.

The shopkeeper shook his head: "If the guest officer finds it expensive, you don't have to buy it."

With that said, he picked up the wrapped salt and turned to leave.

The woman's eyes lit up.

This is the first time I have seen salt wrapped in paper.

In this day and age, paper is scarce and very expensive, so it is used to pack salt?

She hurriedly said, "Can I have a look?"

The shopkeeper opened the paper.

The woman was suddenly shocked.

I saw that the bread inside turned out to be crystal clear, white as snow fine particles.

She asked incredulously, "This...is this salt?"

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "It's salt!"

The woman hastily reached out her hand to dip a little into her mouth, her eyes widened again.

The shopkeeper asked: "Refined salt, do you want it?"

The woman nodded like busy pounding garlic, "Yes, I want, I want..."

……

Chapter 72 I, Li Er, Started to Play

In the past, there were not many things in this world that confused Cheng Chumo.

But since Chen Chu appeared, he has more and more doubts.

For example, two people of the same age, why Chen Chu is so handsome, why Chen Chu can come up with some things that others have never heard of...

Another example is why his father was so obsessed with making sworn brothers with Chen Chu that Chen Chu was both his brother and uncle.

For another example, he successfully cured His Majesty Li Er's insanity that day in Ganlu Hall, but instead of being praised, he was left out in the cold by His Majesty Li Er for several days.

Of course, what puzzled Cheng Chumo the most was that yesterday, no one was interested in the salt shop, and the shop was deserted, but today, people keep coming in to buy salt.

Refined salt costs one tael for ten guan.

It's simply overpriced!

But it can't stop the enthusiasm of people who come to buy refined salt.

If there is no way to go, use your fist to open it.

Unable to figure out something, Cheng Chumo decided to report to His Majesty Li Er.

……

Ganlu Temple.

"What? This morning, hundreds of pieces were sold? More and more people are buying refined salt?"

Li Er was shocked when he received the news from Cheng Chumo.

He was so surprised that the teacup in his hand fell to the ground.

Cheng Chu nodded silently and said: "Your Majesty, I think this is incredible."

Li Er wondered: "It's not just you who find it incredible, I also find it incredible...Could it be Chen Chu's fault?"

Cheng Chumo shook his head: "I was in the salt store this morning and saw a person who looked very familiar. I only realized later that that person was from Duke Qi's mansion. Come to think of it, Chen Chu still can't order people from Duke Qi's mansion."

The Duke of Qi is Sun Wuji, the eldest son of Sikong.

How could it be possible for Chen Chu to direct the people of Duke Qi's mansion to buy salt.

Li Er was a little confused.

Could it be that I was defeated by a woman again.

No, this time I never heard that eating salt can beautify the skin!

There must be something strange about this matter.

Li Er pondered for a while, and said: "No, the refined salt must not be sold, at least within three days, otherwise, I will lose the bet I made with Chen Chu, and I will not be able to get the secret recipe for making popsicles."

But how to stop ministers from buying refined salt?

Got it!

A plan gradually surfaced in Li Er's mind.

He beckoned, and Cheng Chumo stepped forward, and said in a low voice: "Chumo, you immediately dispatch the Longwu Army to guard the surrounding area of ​​the salt shop, and don't allow anyone to enter the salt shop, understand? Three days, only three days , when Chen Chu loses, let’s sell refined salt!"

As long as someone controls it, ordinary people can't get in.

Naturally, no one can buy refined salt.

Cheng Chumo's eyes widened.

Seeing this, Li Er asked: "Chu Mo, do you think I'm shameless?"

Cheng Chumo just nodded, then quickly shook his head.

Li Er smiled and said: "You still understand me, I'm all for the country and society of the Tang Dynasty."

Cheng Chumo was confused again.

Harming Chen Chu, how could it be linked to Datang's Jiangshan Sheji.

However, he didn't dare to ask more questions.

After Cheng Chumo left, he called Gao Chen in and said, "Immediately announce that Changsun Wuji, Wang Gui, Dai Zhou, Chen Shuda, Gao Shilian... enter the palace."

He read the names of more than a dozen people in one breath.

These were all the ministers who rushed to buy popsicles and made him lose to Chen Chu's subordinates.

This time, there must be no more accidents.

The secret recipe for making popsicles, Li Yi was obsessed with it.

Can't help but seize the opportunity!

Otherwise, you will regret it for life!

Not long after, the ministers who were named by Li Er appeared in Ganlu Hall one after another.

Li Er looked at Changsun Wuji and the others, and once again made his plan in his mind.

In fact, his plan is very simple!

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty have long coveted his internal treasury.

Seeing that Neiku is making money every day, especially Wei Zheng and others, they have advised him a long time ago, saying that His Majesty is the master of the world and cannot compete with the people for profit. Ku's business is in awe of three points.

Now, as long as His Majesty Li Er revealed that the salt store was opened by the Neiku, everyone would definitely refuse to buy refined salt.

After everyone arrived, Li Er glanced around and said bluntly: "My dear friends, I have called you here today because I have a happy event and I want to tell you."

happy event?

Haven't heard of any happy event recently?

Could it be that some concubine broke the dragon species?

Your Majesty's body is really old and strong, and he has worked hard all his life.

Just when everyone was guessing, Li Er directly showed his cards: "My dear friends, the happy news is that the Neiku has recently added a new business, selling refined salt, and opened a salt shop in Dongshi."

The corners of Li Er's mouth rose slightly.

I'm about to start playing tricks.

Salt store?

sell salt?

Many people present stared wide-eyed.

Neiku is going against the sky!

Sell ​​soap, sell popsicles, and now sell salt?

Sure enough, when they heard this, many people showed awe and looked at Li Er with some anxiety.

Everything is as Li Er expected.

These guys really don't want to buy things sold in the inner library.

There is a lot of fear in the business of Neiku!

This is what I want!

Li Er was ecstatic in his heart.

He felt that he had won the bet for sure.

So he said happily: "Do you think that I am going to persuade you to buy salt? You are wrong. I have come to tell you that you are all pillars of the imperial court. You must not be like those ignorant businessmen. They went to buy salt one after another, not only you can’t go, but people in your house, relatives and friends should also advise them not to buy salt recently..."

What?

Hearing this, everyone was stunned.

What is this routine?

Since the internal treasury sells refined salt, shouldn't His Majesty encourage me to wait to buy refined salt?

Why did you tell me not to wait to buy salt?

Seeing that everyone was confused, Li Er pointed to Wang Gui and asked, "Wang Aiqing, do you still want to buy salt now?"

Wang Gui shook his head hastily: "No, no, your majesty, I have a light diet and don't like to eat salt. Don't worry, your majesty, I won't buy salt even if I starve to death."

"Yes, yes, yes, Lord Wang has spoken our heartfelt thoughts."

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will never buy salt."

The ministers hurriedly patted their chests and promised.

Seeing this, Li Er was in a good mood, and waved his hand to let Changsun Wuji and others leave.
