Gao Shilian thought for a while and said: "Wuji, it seems that Chong'er went to the Western Regions and learned a lot of things, sometimes, I really envy you, you have a good son...... followed Xue Rengui and others to Tubo, and when they came back, they got a knighthood, and they were rewarded by His Majesty, and they also married a princess by the way...... Thinking about your little cousin Gao Cheng, I have a headache, I have passed the age of the crown, but I am still in a mess, and I can't accomplish anything......"

At the beginning, Gao Cheng and Changsun Chong were known as the two of the four great gentlemen of Chang'an.

Now, the eldest grandson Chong has taken off his hat.

can be fulfilled in the same way as Fang Yiai and Wang Jingzhi.

How could Gao Shilian not have a headache.

The eldest grandson Wuji didn't know what to say.

If someone had said that he had a good son, he would have thought that the other party was mocking him.

But now, Changsun Chong's various performances can indeed be called a good son.

He took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, and said: "Uncle, speaking of which, I still have to thank Chen Chu for this matter, it's just that that kid suddenly came out and became Princess Gesang's godfather, causing Chong'er to call him a father-in-law, thinking of this, I can't get angry......"

"Haha......"

Gao Shilian laughed when he heard this.

At this moment, the housekeeper of the Duke of Qi hurriedly ran over and said, "Master, just now the subordinates of the Duke of Lu Guo Mansion sent a message, saying that they want to bring it to the lord in person." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji frowned: "Cheng Zhijie? The Duke of Qi and the Duke of Lu are not in close contact, how could he suddenly want to bring a message to the old man? By the way, what did the person who came say? ”

The housekeeper repeated: "Master, the people from the Lu Guogong Mansion said that the cement from the Lu Guogong Mansion will be sold tomorrow, and if we need cement, we can send someone to the cement factory one mile outside the Chunming Gate to buy it." ”

Cement?

The eldest grandson Wuji's eyes lit up.

Gao Shilian was stunned and said, "Cement, isn't the cement Chen Chu's?" How did it end up in the hands of Cheng Zhijie? ”

The eldest grandson Wuji thought for a while and sneered: "Uncle, don't you know, it must be Chen Chu and Cheng Yanjin who are in partnership...... This Cheng Zhijie, stupid people have stupid blessings, I knew earlier, I proposed to cooperate with Chen Chu at the beginning, cement and other construction tools, will definitely be able to sell a lot, and when the time comes, I will naturally be able to make a lot of money. ”

The eldest grandson, Wuji, regretted it.

The Duke of Qi has money.

The eldest grandson's family is also very rich.

But no one thinks they have a lot of money.

On the contrary, the eldest grandson Wuji thought that he didn't have enough money.

As long as there is an opportunity to make money, he is still happy.

It's just that he has always been hostile to Chen Chu at the beginning, so naturally he didn't think about it.

Now, the opportunity to make money has been taken by Cheng Biting Jin.

The eldest grandson Wuji was a little unhappy.

Gao Shilian smacked his lips and said: "With Cheng Zhijie's character, I'm afraid that this matter is already known all over the city, just right, tomorrow is off, I also want to go and see." ”

"Uncle, I also have this intention, and I will go with me tomorrow. Cement and other things are used to build mansions, which is no better, especially Chen Chu's house, which I have personally seen, is simply made of a stone, like a solid turtle shell, very peculiar, and the road he built with cement, after cleaning, it is spotless, and even the carpet is saved...... Also, I inquired carefully, that Peach Blossom Island was originally just a small mound, and it can be as it is because of the cement......"

When it comes to Chen Chu's newly built mansion, the eldest grandson Wuji is full of beautiful words.

As a person with status, power, and wealth, the eldest grandson Wuji was a little envious of Chen Chu in his heart.

Chen Chuna's mansion is really well built, and it makes people feel comfortable to live in.

Gao Shilian nodded and agreed: "Wuji, what you said is reasonable, it seems that tomorrow I will have to run in person." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, raised their teacups, and continued to taste tea.

……

Next.

Early morning.

The gates of Chunming Gate have just opened.

Then he saw one after another richly decorated carriages leaving the city and heading straight to the east.

The soldiers defending the city were puzzled.

Although Chunming Gate is the east gate of Chang'an City, it has always been lively.

But it was the first time I had seen so many carriages with extraordinary origins leaving the city at the same time.

After leaving the city, the carriages went straight down a hill to the east.

This is the cement factory.

Warehouses have already been built near the gate of the cement factory.

Bags of cement, packed in sacks, are neatly arranged.

The first to arrive were the eldest grandson Wuji and Gao Shilian.

When the two came, they were still speculating about why Cheng Yanjin didn't get cement to be sold in the East and West Markets, and had to come to this remote place.

Once on the scene, they understood.

The dust of this cement is too big, not to mention the cement factories that produce cement, but the cement packed in sacks, a little touch, it is a whole body of dust.

Less than half a burnt of incense after getting out of the carriage, the eldest grandson Wuji's white boots were stained with a layer of ash, which made him frown.

The eldest grandson Wuji sighed with emotion: "This weapon for building city walls, mansions, and roads, the original appearance is like this, it's really ......."

For a moment, he couldn't find any words to describe this ugly cement.

Subsequently, Fang Xuanling, Wang Qi, Wei Zheng and others also arrived one after another.

It turned out that it was really as expected by Gao Shilian, and Cheng Biting Jin was selling cement, which was a big fanfare, so he notified all the big families in Chang'an City, and the ministers of the DPRK and China were not a problem.

It is rare for Cheng Biting Jin to make such a big move, and everyone can't help but give face.

Therefore, this remote cement factory suddenly became lively.

The eldest grandson Wuji and the others walked forward together.

Everyone looked around the warehouses carefully.

At this moment, a sound of laughter suddenly came from not far away.

Everyone turned their heads to take a look, only to see Cheng Biting Jin walking towards this side.

To everyone's surprise, Cheng Yanjin turned out to be masked.

The eldest grandson Wuji said unhappily: "General Cheng, you invited me to wait here, but I was masked to receive you, what is the reason!" ”

Wang Qi also said: "General Cheng, what do you mean by this? ”

"It's unreasonable to treat people with a mask!"

"General Cheng, do you look down on me?"

The ministers all have their opinions.

Cheng Yanjin didn't take off his mask, but waved his hand and said to the people behind him: "Give everyone some masks, everyone wear them, otherwise we won't be able to drink together in the future, this dust is too big, inhale too much, but you will get sick......"

Everyone's faces changed.

"Okay, you're biting gold! How dare you play tricks on us? ”

"Quick, get that mask quickly, the old man can't do it!"

"Quick, I'm not going to do it either......"

The guards behind Cheng Biting Jin immediately rushed to distribute masks.

Cheng Yanjin sneered.

A bunch of death-scared ghosts!

After everyone put on their masks, Cheng Yanjin stepped forward, took a few craftsmen, and said: "Before, everyone only knew the reputation of cement, but they didn't know how to use cement, and now, I asked these craftsmen to demonstrate it for you......"

Several craftsmen immediately got busy and personally demonstrated how to use cement.

When everyone saw that the concrete with the participation of cement was solidified, it was extremely strong and miraculous.

Then, Wang Qi couldn't wait to ask: "General Cheng, okay, we all know how to use this cement, hurry up and sell it, 100 catties of money, I want 10,000 catties of cement." ”

According to the packaging of a bag of 100 catties, 10,000 catties of cement is a hundred bags.

Wang Qi is rich and rich, of course he dares to buy so much in one go.

The others were preempted by Wang Jue, and they also wanted to speak.

But seeing Cheng Yanjin suddenly raise his hand and interrupt: "Slow, Lord Wang, you miscalculated, a hundred catties of cement is not consistent money, but three times money." ”

What the?

One hundred pounds, three pounds?

The people present suddenly fried the pot.

The eldest grandson Wuji raised his face, and the boss said unhappily: "General Cheng, you are not authentic, at the beginning, Chen Chu promised me to wait, saying that after the cement was sold, it was always a hundred catties, how did it come to you and become a hundred catties of three times?" ”

Wang Qi said: "General Cheng, how dare you deceive us and others? A gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way, if you do this, aren't you afraid that people in the world will poke your backbone. ”

"General Cheng, I didn't expect you to be this kind of person......"

"Shameless!"

"It's so shameless!"

For a time, Cheng Biting Jin became the target of everyone.

Everyone present glared at him.

Cheng Biting Jin was angry, and suddenly shouted: "Shut up for me......"

Everyone was shocked by Cheng Biting Jin, so they didn't speak.

Cheng Yanjin looked at Wang Jue, Eldest Sun Wuji and others, and sneered: "Lord Wang, Lord Eldest Sun, as for why this cement is sold for three times for a hundred catties, others don't know, don't you know?" ”

Wang Jue was stunned: "This ...... What does this have to do with us, isn't it that you want to make money? ”

"That's it!"

"General Cheng, don't hit a rake."

Cheng Biting Jin said coldly: "Okay, then I'll tell you, if it weren't for your bewitching words in front of Your Majesty, how could the court make an order to collect money from the iron slag, iron slag is the raw material of cement, now, iron slag costs money, and the price is not low, so the price of cement will naturally be high......"

I see!

At the beginning, everyone worked hard to persuade His Majesty Li Er to collect money from iron ore slag, thinking that it was Chen Chu's money.

Who would have thought that in the end, it would be transferred to himself.

This......

Everyone present regretted it.

One hundred pounds of cement is two more dollars!

The eldest grandson Wuji and Wang Qi were both dumbfounded.

Seeing this, Cheng Yanjin said proudly: "Anyway, the price is three yuan and one hundred catties, if you are willing to buy it, you can come forward, if you don't want to buy it, you can leave, or you can go to Lao Cheng's place to have a cup of tea and then leave, it is all good tea...... In a word, if you can afford it, you can buy it, if you can't afford it, you won't buy it, Lao Cheng, I never do anything to persecute people......"

No one moved.

Wang Jue flicked his sleeves and deliberately resolved the embarrassment: "Cheng Zhijie, what are you kidding, do you think the old man looks like the kind of person who can't afford cement?" ”

"That's it!"

"General Cheng Hugh wants to underestimate people!"

"I want three thousand pounds!"

"I want 5,000 pounds!"

"I want a thousand pounds ......"

For a while, everyone enthusiastically began to buy cement.
