Travel to the early Tang Dynasty and become a salted fish

Hearing what Chu Mo said, Li Shimin suddenly became energetic: "Oh, little brother Chu actually said that, so Li should be all ears to see how such a meeting can have anything to do with people's livelihood."

Chu Mo chuckled, hugged Li Shimin's neck again, pulled him aside, and whispered: "I will only tell you this matter, but you must not spread it outside."

"Otherwise, this incident will not benefit the people, but will plunge them into eternal disaster."

Hearing what Chu Mo said was so serious, Li Shimin ignored Chu Mo's unreasonableness and said seriously: "Brother Chu, don't worry, it can come out of your mouth and into my ears. If a third party knows, you can just come to me. "

With Li Shimin's guarantee, Chu Mo said directly: "In that case, let me tell my second brother to listen."

The corner of Li Shimin's mouth twitched, did he recognize his relatives again?

"Second brother, this time I am going to auction 60 shi of grain at a time."

When Li Shimin heard this, he stiffened and stared at Chu Mo: "Why do you have so much food in your hand?"

Chu Mo chuckled: "I used to be afraid of hunger at home, so I liked to stockpile food when I had nothing to do. There was so much to stockpile."

Li Shimin stared at Chu Mo like you were lying.

Chu Mo looked a little embarrassed by him: "Well, don't believe it. In addition to these 60 stones, there is also 100 million stones of grain in my warehouse, for a total of 160 million stones of grain."

"Tell me, if I throw away these 160 million stones of food at once, will the food crisis in the entire Chang'an City be resolved?"

When Li Shimin heard this, he grabbed Chu Mo's hand excitedly and said, "Brother Chu, if this is the case, then the people in the entire Chang'an City will say good things to you."

Chu Mo curled his lips and casually made up a nonsense about 160 million stones. Li Er also believed it.

If there really was that much food, it would be enough to feed the people of Chang'an for a whole year.

However, if you brag about your bullshit, you still have to brag in front of the emperor Li Er, so you have to do it right, otherwise you will be deceiving yourself and you will be in trouble.

"Second brother, I am a businessman. I don't care whether the people of Chang'an appreciate my kindness or not. All I want is money."

"So, my original intention to hold this auction this time is to make a fortune."

"You want to take advantage of the country's crisis to make money?"

Li Shimin's expression changed instantly and he looked at Chu Mo angrily.

If it weren't for Yang Hongyu behind him, Li Er believed that he was not using anger at this time, but murderous intent.

Chu Mo chuckled, patted Li Er on the shoulder and said, "Second brother, don't be angry yet, just listen to what I have to say."

"I want to make money, but it also depends on who gets the money."

"Earning people's money will hurt my spine, and I'm also worried that I won't be able to sleep at night."

"But look at them." Chu Mo pointed at the dignitaries and people from various aristocratic families upstairs and downstairs.

"What I want to earn is the money of these people. They lie on the backs of the people every day and suck the people's fat. Is it not an exaggeration for me to earn some money from them?"

When Li Shimin heard this, he immediately became interested and asked, "I wonder what little brother Chu wants?"

Chu Mo snorted: "Second brother, you are not kind. You can either call me Chu Mo or brother Chu. Why do you have to add a small character in the middle? Does it highlight your bigness?"

Li Shimin was stunned by Chu Mowen and didn't understand what he meant.

Then Chu Mo continued: "Second brother, I will only tell you this matter. If you dare to leak it, then I will definitely not sell another grain of grain."

"Little Chu... Don't worry, brother, I will keep it secret and never leak it to anyone."

Chu Mo snorted: "I asked them to buy the grain at a high price today, and then they will definitely sell it to you."

"As soon as they start selling it, I will start selling it together with several grain stores, and the price every time will be just a little lower than theirs."

"The grain here was purchased before the famine and the price is low. However, the price of their grain is extremely high. If we sell it at the current market price, we will lose our pants."

After hearing Chu Mo's words, Li Shimin's mouth twitched. They will indeed spend a lot of money to buy your food.

But they promised to donate this batch of grain to me. You are trying to steal business from me.

Although he won't sell grain at high prices, selling more than 100 million shi of grain is still a considerable sum of money.

Since the Geely invasion last year, Li Shimin has paid a large sum of money in compensation. Now even a lot of rats have starved to death in the treasury, and Li Shimin is also poor.

Although part of this batch of food will be used to relieve victims outside the city, some of it will also be sold within the city.

The money gained from the sales naturally went into Li Shimin's own pocket.

But now Chu Mo actually came to compete with him for business and lowered the price. How could this not make Li Shimin angry?

However, if he is angry, Li Shimin is not that kind of mediocre person.

After all, these grains were obtained through blackmail from his wife.

Moreover, with the participation of Chu Mo, the troublemaker, I believe that the price of food in the city will soon stabilize.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin no longer hesitated, but became somewhat interested in Chu Mo, a pretty boy who only relied on his wife's protection.

The two of them muttered for a while, until they heard the dissatisfied sounds from the guests in the restaurant room.

Li Zhen's family looked at Chu Mo and Li Shimin holding hands, looking like good brothers, and their jaws suddenly dropped.

If Chu Mo hadn't said that he was not familiar with Li Shimin, they would have thought that the two were sworn brothers.

When the two of them came back, they knew that the matter was settled and the auction would begin soon.

As expected, as soon as Chu Mo came over, he said to Li Zhen: "Our auctioneer is no longer needed. I made an agreement with Erlang to let him come directly."

Li Shimin on the side nodded, and then resolutely stepped onto the stage in the middle under the surprised eyes of several people.

Picking up a cylindrical object that Chu Mo had prepared in advance, Li Shimin coughed, cleared his throat, and then said:

"I am very happy that I am hosting today's auction. I believe that many of you sitting here are acquaintances of mine. Because of the special place today, I will not be polite with you one by one."

This sentence is to tell everyone that I, Li Shimin, will take care of this situation. If anything happens, we will wait until today. Anyone who dares to mess up the situation here will not give me Li Er face.

Many of the guests in the restaurant were ministers of the DPRK. They listened to Li Shimin's voice every day. Although they could not see it at this time, they could still understand that the person outside was His Majesty the Emperor.
