Chapter 70: The Duty of a Servant

More than half a month later.

The refined salt manufacturing plant was completed, and the first batch of refined salt was made.

Li Er came to Qingfeng Village in person.

When he saw bags of refined salt being transported out of the warehouse, and the bags containing refined salt turned out to be dirty sacks, Li Er was almost furious.

Refined salt!

What a good thing!

No worse than soap and popsicles, in such a shabby bag!

It's a terrible thing!

He grabbed Chen Chu angrily and asked, "Boy, what do you want to do?" Don't you want to make money? ”

Chen Chu slapped Li Er's hand away and said, "Lao Li, do you remember what I reminded you many times, the refined salt business is easy to be targeted, and it is too high-profile to do it, so you can only make a fortune quietly, so the less people know, the better......"

Li Er was surprised: "No need for advertising? ”

Chen Chu shook his head.

Li Er was shocked: "Then how can you sell it?" ”

Chen Chu explained: "As the saying goes, the aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, our refined salt can be said to be unique in the world, why should you worry about no one buying, rest assured, I know it." ”

Li Er: "......"

Do you know what to expect?

But I didn't count it!

He cooperated with Chen Chu, the original intention was to tie Chen Chu and Neiku together, and control the refined salt business in his own hands, which was equivalent to being controlled by the imperial court in disguise.

But there are no plans to make money.

After all, the more profitable the refined salt business is, the more money there will be in the inner treasury.

In time, there will not even be a need to allocate money from the Ministry of Civil Affairs to the Inner Treasury.

It's cool to think about!

But Chen Chu's approach made him very confused.

Previously, whether it was soap or popsicles, Chen Chu had to advertise.

Advertising has proven to be very effective.

Now, Chen Chu has actually given up advertising?

He clearly remembered that Chen Chu was talking about the aroma of wine, and he was afraid of deep alleys!

Now it has become the fragrance of wine, not afraid of deep alleys!

Are you afraid of it?

Li Er is about to collapse again.

He found that he was very strong in rebellion, and he was also very professional in being an emperor.

But when it comes to business, he is completely white, and he can't figure out Chen Chu's routine at all.

When he came outside, Li Er looked at Cheng Chumo: "Chu Mo, you have the earliest contact with Chen Chu and the longest intersection, what do you think Chen Chu wants to do?" ”

Cheng Chu thought about it seriously and shook his head: "Your Majesty, the minister is stupid." ”

Li Er: "......"

Cheng Chumo added: "However, the sale of refined salt will start tomorrow, and when the time comes, you will know at a glance." ”

Li Er nodded, and suddenly asked again: "How are Chen Chu and the eldest princess in the past few days?" ”

Cheng Chumo hurriedly lowered his head: "Since half a month ago, Chen Chu has spent the night in the cottage every night, and nothing has happened when I think about it. ”

Li Er almost fainted.

Spend the night in a cottage every night.

Fools know what's going on.

He turned and got into the carriage.

In the carriage, Li Er lifted the curtain.

At a glance, the whole Qingfeng Village is already very lively, and all kinds of strange-shaped buildings are placed in a staggered manner.

The originally deserted mountain bandit den has now become prosperous.

More and more people are coming here, first to work to earn money, and then to simply bring their families over.

Li Er felt that some small counties under the rule of the Tang Dynasty were not as lively as they were.

And all of this is because of Chen Chu.

If it weren't for Chen Chu, he might still be worried about the deficit in the inner library.

I can't eat the popsicles that kill the summer heat.

It's impossible to know that it can make refined salt as white as snow!

This kid ...... There are so many surprises for me.

He lowered the curtain, and suddenly Nuo Nuo said to himself: "Perhaps, this is all providence, Chen Chu, Chen Chu, as long as this refined salt business can make a lot of money, it is not impossible for me to marry you Lizhi...... It's just that Guanyin is my queen, the auxiliary machine is my minister, and the eldest grandson's family is a force that cannot be ignored in the court...... I'm so embarrassed! ”

I'm the emperor, I'm too difficult!

……

Next.

Refined salt was officially sold.

According to Chen Chu's request, Cheng Chumo opened a store next to the soap store, and the name of the store was also changed to the previous characteristics, not called the refined salt store, but: salt shop.

It looks similar to a place where coarse salt is sold, and it is not eye-catching at all.

Cheng stayed silent for a whole day, and no one cared.

He was a little panicked, so he hurried into the palace and went to the Manna Palace.

Cheng Chumo saw Li Er, and said with sincere fear: "Your Majesty, the salt shop has been open for a day, but no one has even come to the door, how can this be good?" ”

"Nobody?"

Cheng Chumo nodded, "Not a single grain of salt has been sold!" ”

Li Er was stunned.

If you can't sell it, it means you can't make money.

And he cooperated with Chen Chu to build a refined salt manufacturing plant alone, which cost tens of thousands of yuan, not to mention that those workers had to pay wages and eat.

Li Er frowned and pondered.

Suddenly, he slapped the table and burst out laughing.

"Hahaha......"

Wild laughter echoed in the Manna Temple.

Cheng Chumo suddenly looked confused.

Shouldn't you be depressed if you can't sell refined salt?

Why can Your Majesty still laugh?

Is it confused?

If Your Majesty really has a good one, I will be a sinner for the ages!

Cheng Chumo immediately panicked.

The more he looked, the more he felt that something was wrong.

Because, His Majesty Li Er's appearance is very much like a madman.

This kind of disease, Cheng Chumo knows, once the disease occurs, it must be treated immediately, and it cannot be delayed for a moment, and in the blink of an eye, he may become stupid and stupid, or die directly.

When Li Er was talking to him, he drove out all the eunuchs and palace maids around him.

Even the attendant Gao Chen was not around.

Cheng Chumo thought to himself, it's too late to call people now.

When he saw Li Er laughing, he suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, I'm offended." ”

stepped forward in one step, grabbed Li Er's shoulder, then clamped Li Er's neck under his armpit, strangled it tightly, slapped his right hand on Li Er's face, and pressed his thumb down on Li Er's acupoint.

"Ah......h

Li Er was in pain, and tears were about to come out.

He roared angrily: "Cheng Chumo, do you want to kill the king? ”

Cheng Chumo hurriedly let go of Li Er, fell to his knees with a puff, and said: "Please forgive your majesty, the minister just saw His Majesty laughing wildly, the more I look at it, the more I look like my father told me about the madness, as long as you press the middle of the person in time, you can be cured...... Your Majesty is fine, and the minister is relieved. ”

Li Er rubbed the middle of the person who was still in pain, and asked coldly, "So, I still have to thank you?" ”

Cheng Chumo said with a serious face: "Your Majesty, this is all the duty of a minister. ”

Li Er: "......"

He had nothing to say.

Fortunately, he didn't suffer any substantial damage, and Li Er waved his hand.

The people of the old Cheng family have a relatively tendonous brain.

Li Er has already been taught.

If it were someone else, he would have been pulled out and cut down a long time ago.

Besides, Li Er is in a good mood now.

He said: "Chen Chu, that kid, keep telling me that this refined salt business does not need advertising, and the aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, hum, now it seems that he is wrong...... Tomorrow, I will go to Qingfeng Village to see how arrogant he is! ”

Thinking that although this incident might make him lose money, it was an opportunity to teach Chen Chu a lesson, and Li Er felt that it was not a loss.

Always find some opportunity to let Chen Chu know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, otherwise how will he discipline him in the future.
