Kong Zhiyuan asked puzzled: "Dad, our family still has more than 20,000 yuan to spare, even if it doesn't come in the future, it is enough to spend several years in the house, not to mention that several of our brothers have a fortune, why not change to porridge......

"Yes, Dad, if you eat this porridge, you really won't be hungry!"

The second and third sons also said.

Syllable.

Kong Yingda slapped the table and said: "What do you know, as the old saying goes, success is due to thrift and luxury, in the past, I was too used to you, let you squander, you need to know, a penny, a grain of grain, are not easy to come by, my father asked you to eat porridge now, in order to be prepared for danger in times of peace......

The sons looked at each other.

The dignified Confucian family even changed to eating porridge, and no one would believe it when they said it.

They knew that their father had always been very picky, but they didn't expect it to come to this point.

In fact, Kong Yingda was completely excited by the five thousand guan.

After eating.

Everyone sat in the main hall and drank tea.

Since there was not much oil and water to drink porridge, everyone present felt extremely hungry.

Cup after cup of tea goes down the stomach.

The sons were miserable.

Kong Yingda was enjoying it, and even had a faint smile on her face.

Suddenly, Kong Zhiyuan asked: "Dad, you said that our house is extremely poor now, but I see that this tea must be very expensive, why can you still drink it with an open stomach?" ”

Kong Yingda smiled slightly: "Because, this tea doesn't cost money." ”

The three brothers of the Kong family: "......"

What everyone drank was the tea that Kong Yingda got from Chen Chu.

And this tea, not a penny was spent.

Yes, Kong Yingda drank it boldly with confidence.

It's not distressing at all!

Seeing that his sons didn't move, Kong Yingda waved his hand: "Drink, why are you stunned, if you drink too much, you won't be hungry at night!" ”

……

Kong Yingda's 5,000 yuan arrived, and Chen Chu immediately set about building a paper mill.

Zhu Neng and others were also mobilized by him to Chang'an City.

The location of the paper mill is by a small river just outside the east gate.

Chen Chu was not familiar with the place in Chang'an City, he originally planned to take Cheng Chumo to do it together, but Cheng Chumo was the captain of the Long Wu Army, and he was busy with business and had no time at all.

Just when Chen Chu was worried, Cheng Chubi suddenly stood up: "Uncle, I want to help." ”

Chen Chu turned his head, looked at the other party, and asked, "Are you okay?" ”

Cheng Chubi patted his chest and said, "Uncle, I can't fight, but it's still okay to work, you let me try......"

Chen Chu nodded and asked Cheng Chubi to try.

This time, Chen Chu was surprised to find that this kid turned out to be a talent.

Don't look at his young age, but he does things in an orderly manner, especially the ones who manage the newly recruited craftsmen, and he is not at all like when he was beaten by the four great gentlemen.

Chen Chu also relieved himself to hand over the construction of the paper mill to Cheng Chubi, and he went to hang out in Chang'an City with Li Lizhen, and waited until it was almost dark before returning to the Lu Guogong Mansion.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Mrs. Cheng coming.

Mrs. Cheng pulled Chen Chu aside and said, "Fifth brother, why are you only coming back now, Master Confucius has been waiting for you in the mansion for a day, and he must be teaching you to learn poetry." ”

Lao Kong is here?

Chen Chu smiled.

Mrs. Cheng suddenly asked mysteriously, "Fifth brother, did you make Master Confucius angry yesterday?" ”

"Why did my sister-in-law say this?" Chen Chu asked curiously.

Mrs. Cheng clapped her hands and said, "Don't you know, Master Confucius came to the house early in the morning and asked Lao Cheng to cook food for him, he ate a big pot, and at lunch, he also ate a pot...... Go to the study, don't make him angry, let's not talk about it, I'm going to play mahjong! ”

With that, Mrs. Cheng rushed away.

Chen Chu was confused.

Lao Kong can eat, what does it matter to me?

He shook his head, walked into the courtyard, and into the study.

In the study, on the chair, Kong Yingda leaned on the back of the chair and was already asleep.

Chen Chu walked in.

He suddenly woke up and said, "Don't move, I still have to eat ......."

Chen Chu laughed: "Oh, Lao Kong, outsiders only know that you are the son of the country to sacrifice wine, after the sage, Confucianism, I thought you didn't eat the fireworks of the world, but I didn't expect that you would also dream......"

Kong Yingda wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth and said, "Who said that saints don't eat fireworks, boy, you came just in time, ...... quickly"

Chen Chu because Lao Kong wants to pressure himself to learn poetry.

Who would have thought that what Kong Yingda said was: "Hurry up and make me a cup of tea!" ”

Chen Chu looked confused and made a cup of tea for Kong Yingda.

Then, Kong Yingda asked: "Chen Chu, you said that you will partner with me to do a paper business, when will it be sold?" ”

Lao Kong has no bottom in his heart.

To be honest, he didn't sleep all night last night.

I was thinking about the paper business, worried that my 5,000 bamboo basket would be empty.

Chen Chu said with a smile: "Lao Kong, the paper mill is already being built, and I also asked Chu Bi to set up a shop in the East Market, and the first batch of paper can be sold in five days at most." ”

Kong Yingda asked: "How much do you plan to sell for a foot?" ”

Chen Chu stretched out five fingers.

Kong Yingda: "Five hundred texts? Will it be a loss......"

Chen Chu shook his head: "Five dollars a foot." ”

"What," Kong Yingda exclaimed, "Are you crazy?" The best rattan paper is only two dollars, and you want to sell this paper for five dollars? ”

Chen Chu smiled and said nothing.

Of course, he knew that this kind of paper would not sell for five dollars.

In the future, it may be lower than 500 Wen.

Just like that soap, the cost is dozens of yuan, and the reasonable price is only a few hundred yuan.

But Chen Chu dared to sell fifty guan.

Because, instead of selling this thing as an ordinary commodity, he sells luxury goods.

The same is a diamond, ordinary diamonds are not very expensive, but the heart of the ocean is priceless.

The same bag, the ordinary bag is cheap, but no one thinks the donkey brand is expensive.

Of course, he couldn't tell Kong Yingda about this.

Lao Kong couldn't understand it at first glance!

Why waste your tongue.

Kong Yingda slapped himself on the chest.

He wanted to cry without tears!

This kid who hasn't grown all his hair has never done business at first glance.

A fool would buy a five-dollar piece of paper.

No way!

Heartache!

I can't stand it anymore.

He knew that his five thousand guan was only afraid that it would be meat and bones to beat the dog, and it would be impossible for him to come back.

He was not reconciled!

He stood up and asked, "Boy, how much paper do you have in your hand now?" ”

Chen Chu said casually: "There are quite a few!" ”

Kong Yingda's eyes lit up, "Take me to see it!" ”

followed Chen Chu to a utility room.

As far as the eye can see, it is all white as snow.

Kong Yingda was shocked.

He rubbed his hands together and asked, "Can you give me some?" ”

Chen Chu waved his hand generously: "Take whatever you want, take as much as you can!" ”

In fact, the cost of this kind of paper is not expensive.

The key is that Chen Chu has mastered the core process.

Kong Yingda rushed forward, wasted a lot of energy, only to load two baskets, and spent a lot of effort, carrying a basket on each shoulder, and walked out with a sigh.

Chen Chu was stunned: "Lao Kong, you ...... Aren't you afraid of flashing your waist? ”

"Huhu, it's okay, the old man's body is tough......"

Saying that, Kong Yingda was afraid that Chen Chu would regret it, so he hurriedly left with the box.

His rickety body seemed to be full of strength for a while.

Just when Chen Chu was stunned.

But seeing Kong Yingda coming back, he struggled to raise his head from between the two bamboo baskets and asked, "Chen Chu, is there still that kind of tea last time?" Give the old man some more ......."

Chen Chu said speechlessly: "Old Kong, you are too good at deduction, right?" ”
