Xue Rengui's origin is very clear.

Although this guy is poor, he is by no means an ordinary person, and he is a first-class genius in terms of force and strategy.

Li Er asked depressedly: "This son is also a little famous in Jinzhou, why don't the officials in Jinzhou recommend him to Chang'an?" ”

This......

The crowd was speechless.

Although the Tang Dynasty inherited the imperial examination system of the Sui Dynasty, a large part of the officials were still recommended by local officials or large clans, which was actually a continuation of the conquest system.

But the people present all knew that whether it was a local official or a big family, the people they recommended were either their protégés and former officials, or their own children and relatives, and a poor person like Xue Rengui could not be recommended even if he was talented.

So, everyone was silent.

Li Er sighed and said nothing more.

Such a talent, the officials of the entire Jinju did not find out, but was excavated by Chen Chu.

Li Er's heart felt a little uncomfortable.

He suddenly ordered: "Gao Chen, immediately send someone to investigate, and see if there are any other talents around Chen Chu who have not been discovered......"

Gao Chen hurried away.

After a short time, Gao Chen came back and said, "Your Majesty, it has been investigated clearly, except for a few bad old men around Chen Chu, there are no other talents!" ”

Everyone: "......"

Li Er waved his hand and asked everyone to leave.

Seeing this, the eldest grandson Wuji was unwilling, but it was not good to say anything.

……

It's the New Year.

The year is over again.

Chen Chu gave the craftsmen a ten-day vacation.

But it was not ten days, the weather suddenly cleared, the snow in the city melted, the craftsmen spontaneously returned to the construction site, and began to build a mansion for Chen Chu again with all their might.

This is people's spontaneous behavior, all to thank Chen Chu for his kindness.

When Chen Chu learned the news, he called Cheng Chubi and said, "Chubi, go to the city immediately, buy chickens and sheep, and treat everyone......"

Cheng Chubi smacked his lips, "Uncle, the snow has only melted recently, and the chickens and sheep outside the city are a bit expensive, and the meat in Chang'an City is about to be replenished, this chicken and sheep are a bit expensive......"

Chen Chu's eyes widened: "Expensive? Is my Chen Chu short of money? ”

"Oooh!"

Cheng Chubi hurried to do it.

At dusk on this day, the smell of meat wafted from the entire construction site.

Hearing that in the next few days, meat was eaten, and the craftsmen worked harder.

……

Lu Guogong Mansion.

"Bah...... Why is there no meat at all, it's all vegetables, what about the cook, catch the cook and beat him, is he an old man or a cow or a sheep? Cheng Yanjin looked at a table of vegetables, his face was full of unhappiness, and he was ready to teach the cook a lesson.

Mrs. Cheng next to her was also unhappy: "Our Lu Guogong Mansion is also a big family, and it used to be a little poor, but now the master has followed Chen Chu and made a lot of money, so he can't even afford to eat meat, butler, what's going on?" ”

The housekeeper hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Master, madam, this is not to blame the cook in the house, but today, the chickens and sheep in the entire Chang'an City have been bought by Young Master Chen, and all of them have been sent to the vicinity of Chunming Gate. ”

Cheng Yanjin hurriedly asked, "My brother did it?" ”

The butler nodded.

Cheng bit Jin put down his chopsticks and hurriedly walked out.

Mrs. Cheng asked, "Master, are you still eating?" Why are you going? ”

Cheng bit the golden head and didn't reply, and said, "Madam, eat quickly, I have something to do when I enter the palace." ”

After speaking, he ran out of the mansion with a cigarette and said to the coachman: "Hurry, go to Chunmingmen, if you go late, you can only drink soup......"

……

The Mansion of the State of Qi.

The eldest grandson, Wuji, was having dinner.

He took a bite of the meat, suddenly spit it out, and said unhappily: "This meat is obviously not fresh, what's the matter?" ”

The butler stepped forward and said, "Master, ...... today All the sheep in Chang'an City were bought by Chen Chu, and now there is not a single sheep, so the cooks have to take out yesterday's mutton and make some. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji frowned: "You mean, the live sheep were all bought by Chen Chu?" Can he eat so much? ”

The housekeeper said: "No, sir, I heard that Chen Chu was going to invite the untouchables who built his mansion to eat meat, and said that in the next three days, there will be meat in the city, so that all the sheep in Chang'an City will be bought by him at a high price." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji threw the chopsticks away: "Chen Chu is crazy, those craftsmen are all from untouchables, it would be good to have something to eat, he actually wanted these people to have meat to eat, it was unreasonable...... I don't eat it! ”

A similar situation is happening in every big family in Chang'an City.

This time, Chen Chu was angry.

……

Meanwhile.

Chen Chu looked at Cheng Chubi with a confused expression.

Cheng Chubi scratched his head and asked, "Uncle, what's wrong, didn't I do it right?" ”

Chen Chu waved his hand: "Don't, you kid is a genius, you did the right thing......"

In fact, he was very helpless.

He asked Cheng Chubi to buy chickens and sheep, just to let the craftsmen eat a few meals of meat.

Who knows, when Cheng Chubi carried out his order, there was a deviation, and he directly put on the attitude that Lao Tzu was rich and not short of money, and scavenged the chickens and sheep in Chang'an City cleanly.

Now, the whole construction site, except for the craftsmen, is the chicken and sheep.

Even if a few thousand people open their bellies, they may not be able to eat it all in half a month.

When Cheng Chubi heard this, he asked happily: "Uncle, I heard me right, you said I am a genius?" ”

Chen Chu nodded: "You are a thoughtful person, your trick, calling, eating other people's meat, so that others have no meat to eat, amazing!" ”

Cheng Chubi was praised, and his mood was happy and happy.

He went outside and said to a few men, "Did you hear that? My uncle just said that I was a genius and that I was a thinking person. ”

The men nodded in unison: "I heard it, Second Young Master." ”

Cheng Chubi said loudly: "Since you heard it, why don't you hurry up and do something, go, search a few more times, and buy all the meat in Chang'an City, there is nothing left." ”

The men's eyes widened and they asked, "Second Young Master, do you want to live more than this time?" ”

Cheng Chubi nodded: "Of course, as long as it's meat, I bought it all." Well, I can't put it on the construction site, so let's get a piece of land outside the city to store it, hurry up, delay my uncle's big event, and you are all dead. ”

"Yes!"

The men heard the sound and left.

Cheng Chubi was full of pride.

He has always been looked down upon.

Especially his father Cheng bites Jin, and often scolds him for being a waste.

But now Chen Chu praised him for being a genius.

He felt extremely honored.

Naturally, I also want to make a career and express myself well.

Just thinking like this, he saw a figure appear behind him and kicked him with a bang.

Cheng Chubi was furious, and just wanted to scold, but when he turned around, he saw that it was Cheng Biting Jin.

He suddenly coaxed: "Daddy......"

Cheng Biting Jin said angrily: "In broad daylight, here is a shame, what about your second uncle?" ”

Cheng Chubi pointed inside: "Uncle is eating inside!" ”

"Eat? Oops, it's still a coincidence, bunny, I'll clean you up later! Cheng Yanjin hurriedly walked inside.

Cheng Chubi breathed a sigh of relief and avoided a beating.
