Travel to the early Tang Dynasty and become a salted fish

When sending away the last customer, shopkeeper Liu couldn't hide the smile on his face.

He tremblingly handed several account books to Chu Mo: "Uncle, this... These are the deposit accounts of those nobles and noble families today. Please take a look at them."

Chu Mo waved his hand and asked, "Just tell me directly."

Shopkeeper Liu opened the account book, swallowed and said, "Uncle, today we signed a deposit contract of 1180 million taels. In addition, we sold 1000 million taels of grain."

"In addition, several family owners said when they left that their investment money will be delivered later, and the money stored by each family will also be delivered on the day we open."

Chu Mo nodded: "For the soldiers I brought here before, please arrange for them to guard the warehouse for the time being. When our real basement is completed, all the money will be transferred there."

"In addition, you send people to tell several family heads that the food they owe will be paid in three days at the latest. Otherwise, just wash your neck and wait."

Chu Mo got angry when he thought of Li Shimin teaming up with several masters to cause trouble for him.

Thinking of this, he said to Shopkeeper Liu: "When the food is handed over, find someone smarter and secretly leak it to the family heads that there is still a lot of food in our treasury."

"But uncle, we don't have much food anymore."

Shopkeeper Liu said with a puzzled look.

"Haha, you don't have to worry about this. I have my own way."

Shopkeeper Liu didn't say anything, just responded and then retreated.

Seeing that Chu Mo had finally finished his work, Yang Paifeng and Lin Wan came together and said, "Uncle, the eldest lady asked me to tell you that she has returned to the teacher's gate for something, so that you can stay calm recently."

Chu Mo was stunned: "Madam, when did she leave?"

"You just came downstairs and the lady left."

"How about her injury? Is it okay to travel with a sick body?"

Yang Paifeng shook his head: "Uncle, I don't know, and the lady didn't tell us."

Chu Mo sighed softly. Yang Hongyu left in such a hurry this time, and he always felt a little uneasy in his heart.

Just when he was about to ask about the location of Yang Hongyu's master, Li Jing and Hongfu Nu came out from the backyard with Li Zhenying.

As soon as he saw Chu Mo, Li Jing snorted coldly and turned his head aside.

Chu Mo seemed to have not seen it. He stepped forward excitedly, grabbed Li Jing's hand and said, "Old man Li, I didn't expect you to come too. Why didn't you say hello in advance so that I could make arrangements for you alone."

Li Jing angrily took his hand out of Chu Mo's hand, pointed at Chu Mo and cursed: "Young-mouthed kid, you really don't deserve to be a human being."

"There are so many victims outside the city. You hold a large amount of food in your hands. You don't know how to share the country's worries, but you only think about doing business as a merchant. I am ashamed to be associated with villains like you."

After saying that, he strode outside.

Chu Mo chuckled twice and said loudly on purpose: "Sister Hong, I have recently developed a few new recipes, and I am going to ask you to taste them. I also ask you to stay here for another year and a half."

Hong Fu Nu rolled her eyes at Chu Mo, but still said cooperatively: "As long as you don't mind us being troublesome, Mr. Chu, and there are new dishes coming out every day, it doesn't matter if we just stay a little longer."

Hearing Hong Fu Nu's words, Li Jing turned around with a livid complexion, walked up to Hong Fu Nu, and said:

"Madam, you have been away from the house for many days, and there are many important things in the house waiting for you to deal with when you return, so it is best not to stay in this shabby restaurant."

Before Hong Fu Nu could say anything, Li Zhenying immediately responded: "Dad, what can happen in the house? Everything is handled by a housekeeper."

"Besides, this place is not far from our home. If you have any doubts about anything, you can ask the housekeeper to come over and find your mother directly."

Li Jing blew his beard and stared in anger, thinking silently in his heart: This is his daughter, his only daughter.

Holding back his violent behavior, Li Jing looked at Chu Mo who was standing aside pretending to be innocent and said: "Boy Chu, do you really want to leave them in this shabby restaurant of yours?"

Chu Mo originally wanted to say a few words, but when he thought about this guy, he might be his father-in-law in the future.

As the saying goes, you should leave a little bit behind so that we can meet each other in the future, so Chu Naonun laughed dryly: "Old man Li is joking. His legs are on them, how can I control them."

Seeing that Li Jing was about to get angry, Hongfu Nu immediately smoothed things over and said, "Forget it, I've lived here for so many days and I've almost finished the matter with Mr. Chu, so we won't bother you anymore."

Li Zhenying on the side wanted to say something, but was stopped by Hong Fu Nu's eyes.

Chu Mo sighed. It seemed that he had lost his fortune today.

"Then I won't keep you here, but if you want to taste the food and wine here someday, then feel free to come over."

After seeing off Li Jing's family, Chu Mo simply closed the hotel door and asked the guys to get off work early, while he and shopkeeper Liu went to inspect the warehouse and basement.

Chu Mo had created the warehouse to hide people's eyes, so he just browsed it briefly and then went to the basement.

The so-called basement was a large ice cellar converted by Chu Mo specifically for storing money.

After checking the progress, Chu Mo was still very satisfied.

After the night curfew, the head of the family named Wu Qiwang took Li Junxian with him and hurriedly sent someone to hand over the food.

After handing over the grain, the clerk arranged by shopkeeper Liu "accidentally" leaked the news that there was still a large amount of grain in the Shiweitian warehouse.

Upon hearing this, several family heads found Chu Mo overnight and asked to buy food again.

Chu Mo pretended to shirk it, and then, with the gratitude of several family heads, he sold 230 shi of grain to them at a price of 80 cents per dou.

After the two parties agreed on a date to pay the money, Chu Mo happily took Li Junxian to "get food."

Several family heads were also happy because they successfully completed the task of Yang Hongyu, the evil star.

When Li Junxian told Li Shimin the news that Chu Mo had successfully sold grain, Li Shimin was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night.

Now, not only is the national treasury rich, but the food problem in the Guanzhong region has also been solved.

He believed that with the additional revenue of 50 shi of grain, the people inside and outside the city should be able to receive good relief, and the drought this time would be almost resolved.

At this time, outside Chang'an City, a sweet-looking girl of fifteen or sixteen years old was sitting on a dilapidated carriage, staring at the closed city gate in trance, and next to her, Yang Hongyu, dressed in red, was lying.
