The snow stopped.

The cold wind is still howling.

Chen Chu didn't even bother to go back to the Lu Guogong Mansion, so he lived directly on the tower of Chunming Gate City.

Here, you can keep track of the progress of the construction of the mansion at any time.

Although it is said that the mountains are covered with heavy snow outside, the snow is white, everything is silent, and even the wild dogs on the street are hiding and disappearing, but on the construction site, it is in full swing.

When it snows, don't worry, Chen Chu has already asked people to build a tent with coarse cloth for construction.

When it freezes, don't worry, Chen Chu has already made people reserve a lot of coal.

At the same time, Chen Chu can also sell meat at this remote control program.

Judging from the sales in the past two days, the profit is still very considerable.

Just as Chen Chu was happily drinking tea and checking the design drawings of the mansion, the door was pushed open, and a cold wind poured in, and Chen Chu shivered.

As soon as he looked up, he saw a young little eunuch, who was looking at him with a smile and said, "Chen Gongzi, don't come to ...... harm."

Chen Chu asked, "Do we know each other?" ”

The little eunuch said politely: "Chen Gongzi is a noble person, you don't know the little one, but the little one knows you, the little one served His Majesty in the Ganlu Hall before, and now Lord Gao Chen broke his leg, so he let the little one be His Majesty's close attendant......"

Chen Chu was stunned.

Gao Chen, that guy broke his leg?

Phew!

Deserve!

He stood up and smiled, "That's really sad news, hahaha, isn't it?" ”

The little eunuch also said: "Yes, hahaha, Chen Gongzi, you are so humorous. ”

Chen Chu asked, "Something?" ”

The little eunuch said, "Your Majesty invites you to meet you at the Dada Restaurant in Chang'an." ”

Father wants to see me?

Why don't you come to Chunmingmen?

But he quickly figured it out.

Near the Chunming Gate, there are many people, and they have to climb the city tower, Li Er is worried about revealing his identity.

So he picked up one of his specially made bearskin coats and followed the little eunuch out.

……

Chang'an big restaurant.

The best in the wings.

When Li Erzheng put meat in the pot piece by piece, Chen Chu came in against the cold wind.

Seeing Chen Chu coming in, Li Er put down his chopsticks, his expression did not move, and he asked in a salty tone: "Chen Chu, you have made a lot of money just by selling meat in the past few days, right?" ”

Chen Chu sat down and subconsciously said, "It's okay, it's earned...... Well, no, father, what you said is not right, I didn't make a penny......"

"Nowadays, the meat in the East and West markets is sold by your people, and the price of a pound of meat is as high as several hundred Wen, and you still say that you don't make money?" Li Er raised his eyes and looked at Chen Chu.

Chen Chu waved his hand and said: "Father, to put it mildly, you don't do business, you don't know the difficulties of doing business, in fact, although I sold them at a high price, I didn't make any money at all." ”

Well?

Li Er looks like you are a fool to me.

He looked at Chen Chu with a sneer.

Chen Chu analyzed carefully: "First, the meat in my hand was bought at a high price...... The price is already higher than the market price. ”

"Secondly, in order to stack this meat, I also rented a piece of land outside the city, invited a group of people, and patrolled day and night, if the ground is freezing today, I am still worried that the meat will freeze to death, so I must also take measures to keep warm......

"Then, in order to respond to my father's call, I asked people to take out the meat and sell it, which also required a lot of troublesome processes."

"Coming and going, labor costs, land rental fees, warmth fees, thawing fees, add up, miscellaneous, I don't actually make money."

Chen Chu's speech was fast.

Li Er was stunned when he heard this.

He nodded subconsciously, feeling that what Chen Chu said was still very reasonable.

Wrong!

He suddenly slapped the table and said, "Boy, if I didn't know your character, I would have almost been deceived by you, what you said is very reasonable, and it sounds impeccable, but you forgot one thing, that is, I know you very well, and there is no benefit to do it, will you do it?" ”

As long as there is this one premise.

That's enough.

According to the principle of simple reasoning, it can be said like this:

Chen Chu will not do anything without benefits.

Now Chen Chu has no interest in doing this.

Clearly contradictory.

So Li Er concluded that Chen Chu would definitely be able to make money.

"No!"

Since Li Er preconceived this way, Chen Chu didn't say anything.

Alas!

He sighed in his heart.

Lao Li has learned badly.

I think that at the beginning, when Lao Li heard the knowledge of economics, he listened to it and worshiped it very much.

It's good now, but it's doubtful to learn badly.

Chen Chu looked up and happened to see Li Er's smiling face.

Li Er smiled proudly and said: "That is the case, then I will give you a task today, from tomorrow, the price of meat sold in the East and West Markets shall not exceed 10% of the previous market price, if I find that the price of any butcher shop is high, I will not spare you......"

Chen Chu: "......"

I'm a good guy straight away.

The front is to use the identity of the emperor to suppress and let me sell meat.

And now you are still using the status of the emperor to get me to lower the price?

Is it reasonable?

Irrationality!

But Chen Chu nodded and agreed.

The promise was quick.

It even surprised Li Er a little.

But seeing Chen Chu's serious face, Li Er felt that this matter was still reliable.

As he spoke, he saw Chen Chu pick up the chopsticks and start to scoop up the scalded meat slices in the pot, and eat them in three or two, looking satisfied.

Li Er said unhappily: "Boy Chen, I know that during the period of meat cut off in Chang'an City, you have three meals a day, and you have meat at once, so why don't you come to me to grab meat and eat it......"

Chen Chu said distressedly: "If you don't rob it, you can't do it, my father, under your order, I will lose a lot of money, and if I don't eat some meat to make up for it, how will I live in the future......"

Li Er: "......"

……

Chen Chu returned to the vicinity of Chunming Gate and immediately asked people to find Cheng Chubi.

Cheng Chubi said: "Uncle, let's just sell all the meat at a high price, anyway, Your Majesty said that from tomorrow, it will be too late today......"

At a young age, Cheng Chubi felt that His Majesty Li Er was acting unfairly.

Seeing that the great opportunity to make a fortune was gone, he was not happy in his heart.

Chen Chu waved his hand: "No, you have to understand a truth, that is, there are policies and countermeasures, don't worry, your uncle and I are not stupid, how can I do that kind of loss-making thing, since I promised my father, I naturally have a way to solve it......"

Cheng Chubi's eyes lit up, he leaned over and asked, "Uncle, what's the solution?" ”

Chen Chu explained in a whisper.

Cheng Chubi rushed away.

Before leaving, he was full of joy and swept away his previous discouraged look.

……

Early the next morning.

Temple of Manna.

Li Er looked at the eldest grandson Wuji and the others happily and asked, "Auxiliary, have you ever heard that the price of meat in the East and West Cities has dropped?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji nodded: "Your Majesty, early this morning, the people in the mansion have already said about it, saying that Chen Chu has made those butcher shops reduce the price with great fanfare, and now, everyone in Chang'an City knows that the price of meat has dropped ......"

Fang Xuanling said: "This is a good thing......

Li Er snorted and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, I have nothing to do today, and the ice and snow are melting, why don't you go to Dongshi with me to have a look?" ”

Of course, everyone readily agreed.
