The news of the Chen family's grain collection is actually not only Chang'an, even if it is the land of Kanto, it can't help but be shaken.

The Chen family spared no effort to buy surplus grain, and bought all the rations that could be eaten, which was not a bad thing for many families, and now the price of grain is not bad, and because of the Chen family's purchase, the price of grain has also risen a lot, such a price in previous years, it is absolutely impossible.

Thereupon...... Many people are happy as if they were celebrating the New Year.

The Chen family made a fortune selling salt.

Everyone followed suit.

As for the reason for the Chen family's purchase of grain, no one cared.

After all...... If other families make such a big move, it will definitely make people think about it carefully, and they always feel that there must be a deeper reason.

But these families, which have stood for hundreds of years, have witnessed the rise and fall of the Mengjin Chen clan, which in their opinion, the Mengjin Chen clan buying grain when the price is high is simply the most routine operation.

Many merchants even began to collect grain everywhere, after all, the current shipment of white salt is limited, and if you want to buy it first, it will be easy and trouble-free if you exchange it for grain.

Even many Hu merchants were moved, especially the Tibetan merchants, who were even more impatient.

Tibet at this time was different from Tibet in later generations. In later generations, the conditions of the Tibetan plateau were very harsh, and the air pressure in the plateau area was low and the air was thin, which were all very unfavorable factors for development.

However, during the Sui and Tang dynasties, Tibet ushered in a period of relatively mild and humid days, the plateau became mild and rainy, the moist water vapor condensed to form clouds, and to a certain extent, it blocked the invasion of ultraviolet rays, and the snow on the high mountains melted to form countless lakes.

As a result, Tibet also rose, and its population increased dramatically, and the production of grain, cattle and horses was also amazing.

In the old Tang Dynasty books, people's records of Tibet are often as follows: the south of the mountains and the north of Tibet, the sheep of the north of Tibet are rich, and the six grains of the south of the mountains are abundant.

Tibet now produces so much grain and cattle and sheep that it is piled up and countless.

However, they are obviously not skilled in other aspects, such as the demand for salt, tea, and ironware, especially after the birth of white salt, many Tibetan merchants have seized the business opportunity, and they have made people hurry up and quickly hope to transfer grain from Tibet to exchange for white salt.

From the Tibetan country to Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty, the trade route is very smooth, not to mention that this year the imperial court has opened up the Hexi Corridor, and the Tibetan country in the upper reaches of the Yellow River can transfer grain to Guanzhong only by going down the river.

Of course, it is precisely because Tibet occupies a favorable geographical position and has a sufficient population that it has become a major problem for the entire Central Plains after tens or hundreds of years.

Early the next morning, Princess Sui'an came to Chen's house.

Chen Zhengtai only took Chen Fu and Princess Sui'an to set off.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he left the gate of Chen's house, he saw dozens of knights escorting Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian probed his brain outside the door of Chen's house, and when he saw Princess Sui'an, he immediately shouted: "My sister is here, you are the gang." ”

He shouted loudly, which frightened Chen Zhengtai and suddenly felt a panic about his adultery.

Princess Sui'an was calm, and went forward to greet Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian got off the horse and shouted: "Chen Zhengtai, I already knew that you had a conspiracy, hmph, you are not a good person to please your father like this, and your third uncle, where is the third uncle?" ”

In addition to the occasional social person, Chen Zhengtai also has a creed, that is, he will never provoke adolescent teenagers, because you are more fierce than you, and if you are bold, he will always be bolder than you.

People at this age can do anything.

Chen Zhengtai said embarrassedly: "Hello, junior brother. ”

Li Chengqian's face softened slightly: "What are you going to do today?" ”

"Go to the second skin ditch."

"Erpigou?"

"We ...... Go see the chickens and ducks. Princess Sui'an turned around for Chen Zhengtai.

"What do chickens and ducks see." Li Chengqian looked arrogant.

"Yes, senior brother said......" Princess Sui'an was halfway through speaking, and suddenly thought that this was her and her brother's secret, so she was silent again.

Li Chengqian raised his eyebrows: "What do you say?" ”

"I ...... I can't say. Princess Sui'an gritted her teeth and shook her head.

Chen Zhengtai said: "Actually, it's not a big secret, it's just ...... Let's go to Erpigou to have a look. ”

"What does that have to do with the gang you mentioned, Lone now suspects that you are planning something big."

Chen Zhengtai sighed and said, "This gang ...... It has nothing to do with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, our gang is a long story......"

"Then talk about it, and I won't pester you when I say it."

Chen Zhengtai said with difficulty: "Our gang is called the Losers Alliance......"

“……”

"Senior brother, look at the junior sister, her mother's birth is not good, and she is not treated well in the palace, is this a failure. There is also my senior brother, who looks decent, but in fact, the Chen family is already in the middle of the family, although it is slightly better now, it can also be called a failure. Losers are always with losers and form alliances, isn't this the losers' alliance......"

When Li Chengqian heard this, he was happy.

To be honest, the first time he saw Chen Zhengtai, he felt that Chen Zhengtai always seemed to have a lot of new things.

Otherwise, how can he always please his father, Li Chengqian didn't sleep all night last night, reviewed the play between Chen Zhengtai and his father, and found that this guy ...... It's like honey in his mouth, so he pays special attention to Chen Zhengtai.

Now when I heard the five words of the Loser Alliance, I suddenly shook my spirits: "In this way, Lone is also a loser, although Lone is the crown prince, he always dissatisfies his father." Come on, come on, count yourself as a lonely one, I've heard of the name of Erpigou for a long time, I haven't seen it yet, and I'm going to go, if you don't want to let Lone go, Lone will go in and kill your third uncle alive. ”

Chen Zhengtai was shocked, and said listlessly: "Don't, junior brother, don't ......"

Li Chengqian said happily: "It's just to scare you, let's go." ”

…………

"Grandpa, grandpa......" Chen Zhengde, who was raising pigs in his spare time, found the third uncle in a hurry.

The third uncle sat in the small hall drinking tea, crossed his legs, babbling and humming pipa tunes, and when he saw Chen Zhengde coming, he was distressed and disgusted: "What's wrong?" ”

"Grandpa, the prince is here, I heard what Menzi said. After that, the prince and his cousin went to Erpigou together. ”

"Yikes." The third uncle suddenly jumped up from his seat, and danced happily: "Zhengtai is amazing, how did the old man say it at the beginning, he is the tiger of the Chen family, when he was born, I saw a light on his head...... Gee...... Now it's okay, as long as we climb to the crown prince, our Chen family is expected to be revived. ”

"But ......" Chen Zhengde said quietly: "I don't know if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a prejudice against Grandpa, he talked to his cousin in front of the door, and kept saying that he was going to kill Grandpa alive." ”

The third uncle's face was blue and white, the smile on his face was still frozen, his cloudy old eyes fluttered, he paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, and suddenly his eyes narrowed: "I look at the prince, this person, perverse, greedy, I am afraid that such a person will not last long." From this point of view, although the fourth son of the emperor Li Tai is still in the young chong, he is smart and clever and knowledgeable, so it is not the prince who has the destiny of heaven, but the fourth son Li Tai...... Hey, Zhengde, you're talking, what are you running? “

Zhengde was gone, and he was only heard panting and dropping a sentence: "The little pig is hungry." ”

…………

Here, temporary granaries have been built in Erpigou, and countless grains have been transported in an endless stream.

Of course, the most eye-catching thing is the many free-range chickens and ducks.

Chen Zhengtai and Princess Sui'an squatted on the ground, and saw the two roosters rushing to the crown in anger, making a battle shape, and they were fascinated for a while.

Li Chengqian was different, the eunuch who came with him set up a brocade pier for him to sit down comfortably, and prepared a small coffee table on the side and poured tea. Li Chengqian picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and the eunuch hurriedly fanned him with a feather fan.

Li Chengqian looked disappointed, he thought he had some fun to see, but when he looked at it, it was all chickens and ducks.

Hey, he sighed in his heart, he originally thought that Chen Zhengtai was an interesting person, but now it seems that he is so vulgar.

Li Chengqian glanced around, bored: "Chen Zhengtai, do you love raising chickens?" ”

Chen Zhengtai squatted, looking very indecent, looking at the rooster, saliva flowed out uncontrollably: "No, I'm ...... I love chicken. ”

Princess Sui'an said: "I also love chicken." ”

Li Chengqian was surprised: "Sister, some of the chickens in the palace are on weekdays, and I don't see you eating them." ”

Princess Sui'an said: "Senior brother loves to eat, so I love to eat." ”

Li Chengqian: "......"

Although Princess Sui'an and herself were not born to the same mother, they were her sister-in-law after all, but Li Chengqian could clearly feel that her sister-in-law seemed to have turned her elbow outward.

At this time, Chen Zhengtai glanced at Li Chengqian, who was pampered and pampered, drinking tea while enjoying the eunuch's service, and said: "I have a kind of chicken, if I make it, I will make it unforgettable for you." ”

Li Chengqian pouted: "It's your health soup again?" The taste is really good, my father loves to drink it, and the palace also loves to drink it, but if it is said that it will never be forgotten, it is too much. ”

After all, it is a person who has seen the world, and he has seen a lot of things, even if it is yesterday's multi-flavored peanuts, at first he felt that there was a different flavor, and there were many things to eat, but they were just delicious.

Chen Zhengtai was happy: "Senior brother doesn't believe it? ”

Li Chengqian shook his head.
