Chapter 33: Trouble is coming
"Of course, I've already inquired, your food shop, a stack of fried locusts, sells for twenty yuan, but we catch ten, but it's only five yuan."
The homeless man looked at Chu Feng, took a step back and spoke.
"So what, you think the price is low, you can not sell it." Chu Feng sneered.
His purpose is to get rid of locusts, and making money is just incidental.
"You..."
"You are obviously a profiteer taking advantage of the fire to rob, brothers, although we are outcasts, everyone must not compromise with this person."
The outcasts looked at the people around them and immediately began to stir up.
However, many people are also tempted by the acquaintance, after all, they are naturally happy to be able to sell for a good price.
"Whatever you want."
"By the way, by the way, with the locusts from all over the country being transported to the capital, now my food shop is already tending to be full, and the purchase will be suspended for three days after today."
After Chu Feng finished speaking, he went directly into the store.
I have to inch in, I want to play this set with myself, no way.
As soon as Chu Feng's words came out, the people around him were stunned.
The scope of this locust plague is not small, Chu Feng said at the beginning that even locusts from all over the country will be collected in the food court.
If it is said that the goods are full in the past few days, after all, ordinary people are reluctant to eat this fried locust.
Those rich people, although many people love to eat, but after eating for a few days in a row, the freshness has passed a lot.
For a while, everyone sent the locusts to the food court, and tried to sell them today, otherwise, they would have no money in two days.
They weren't going to eat the locusts raw.
"Chu Feng, aren't you afraid of arousing their anger by doing this?"
Cheng asked silently after seeing Chu Feng come in.
"In the past few days, those who really caught locusts have made a lot of money in their hands, and they still have food rations for a few days."
"As for those who are restless, it would be good to rectify it, this locust plague, there are thousands of locusts, if we raise the price, how can we have such money?"
Chu Feng glanced at Cheng Chumo and asked rhetorically.
These are all things that I have thought of a long time ago, not only will the price not be raised, but the price will be reduced in a few days.
The purpose of the halt to buy these days is to allow those hawkers who follow the trend to buy.
They are just ordinary hawkers, and they will definitely buy at a lower price, because they want to lower the selling price and target the market to ordinary people.
There are so many locusts, how can you have so much money to buy them all on your own.
Therefore, it must be made to become an industry in a short period of time, and all the world's exchanges are profitable.
The next day, the food court really stopped buying locusts, but as Chu Feng expected, some other restaurants and vendors began to get enough.
The price was reduced to three cents, and many people began to scold this heart even darker.
But in order to eat, they can only sell.
……
The imperial study has become a place where Chu Feng often comes and goes.
Li Shimin was even more happy, "Chu Feng, your method is really good." ”
"In this way, the locusts can be eliminated, and the people will have income, which is more useful than opening a warehouse and releasing grain."
Just kidding, as a foodie of the Celestial Empire, how many things are about to be eaten to extinction.
Those creatures that are rampant abroad and can't be cured by spending no amount of money, as soon as the foodies arrive, they can be properly solved, and the merchants can still make a lot of money.
"The plague of locusts can be destroyed, but what is more difficult to control than the plague of locusts is the hearts of the people."
Chu Feng looked at Li Shimin and reminded him, he had said this before.
This is true both for the magistrates and for the homeless.
It's like the price of buying locusts.
"I understand." Li Shimin frowned and nodded, how could he not know this.
However, Chu Feng was able to see this clearly, and Li Shimin was also very surprised, but he was afraid that the prince did not have Chu Feng's insight.
Leaving the imperial study, Chu Feng went back to the Qin Mansion directly, and the whole person relaxed.
Although the locust plague has nothing to do with him, after all, he solved the Wang family with this reason.
I didn't tell everyone about the defensive measures in advance, and now I can solve the locust plague.
"Childe is back."
As soon as he entered the Qin Mansion, Qin San greeted him with a smile.
Qin San was the one who ate the overlord's meal in the restaurant that day, Chu Feng did not dispose of him, but left him on an errand in the Qin Mansion, Qin San is his current name.
"Hmm." Chu Feng nodded.
"Chu Feng, my father is looking for you."
Within a few steps, Qin Huaiyu stopped Chu Feng.
Chu Feng was stunned for a moment, he also saw Qin Qiong's care during this time, so Qin Qiong told himself that of course he would not refuse, he was still living in Qin Mansion.
"Uncle."
When he came to the hall, Chu Feng took the initiative to greet Qin Qiong.
"Here, sit down." Qin Qiong looked at Chu Feng and motioned for him to sit down.
"Have you entered the palace again today to see Your Majesty and discuss the matter of solving the locust plague?"
"Well, after all, I'm also involved in this matter." Chu Feng didn't hide it.
"I know what you are doing in the food court, yes, you are doing very well, killing two birds with one stone, if Huaiyu is as smart as you, uncle doesn't have to worry about him."
Eh, Chu Feng was a little stunned, this Qin Qiong was talking about these things in a dignified manner.
"Uncle, what do you mean by this, isn't Brother Huaiyu very good, in terms of martial arts, he was taught by his uncle."
"That being said, but wasn't he defeated at your hands in the first place?"
After listening to Chu Feng's words, Qin Qiong shook his head with a smile and said.
"Uncle, you know, I used trickery to win." Chu Feng said with some embarrassment.
"It's no different, Chu Feng, how about I want to teach you martial arts?"
Qin Qiong shook his head with a smile and didn't care, but looked at Chu Feng and said.
"Learn martial arts?"
Chu Feng hadn't thought about this, so when Qin Qiong said it, he also opened his mouth wide.
"Yes, I want you to learn martial arts, your talent is higher than Huaiyu, you fought with Huaiyu before, you expected the enemy to be the first, this is very rare."
Qin Qiong said very solemnly.
"Uncle, why did you suddenly say this?"
Chu Feng felt that Qin Qiong was a little strange today.
"When the locust plague starts, Datang will inevitably spend financial resources to relieve the disaster, but outside of Datang, those alien races are eyeing each other."
"Especially the Turks, they are insatiable and unreasonable, and they have plundered several times before the Tang Dynasty."
"Your Majesty, in order to accumulate national strength, compromised with the Turks, I am afraid that with the character of the Turks, I am afraid that they will take advantage of this to make trouble again."
"Uncle is old, so I hope you can learn martial arts, and when the time comes, you can defend the court against foreign enemies, and at the same time take care of Huaiyu."
Forehead.
"Uncle, can I refuse?" Chu Feng was helpless.
I'm not so great, I just want to live in Datang.
Besides, what a hard thing it is to go to war.
Practicing martial arts is not a matter of one or two days, not to mention that even if he doesn't cross it, Li Shimin can also overthrow the Turks.
There's no need for me to suffer that sin.
"You don't want to make a contribution, with your ability, you are still so young, I say something rebellious, I am afraid that the prince will need your assistance in the future, and your future is very impressive."
Come on, Li Chengqian is the crown prince, but he doesn't have the emperor's life.
And Li Shimin's life is so hard, but he has lived for some years.
He knew Li Chengqian's final fate very well, how could he bet.
"That's it, let's not talk about the matter of making contributions, you can't postpone the matter of practicing martial arts, I have already told Yumo about this matter, and she also agreed."
Finally, Qin Qiong waved his hand, looked at Chu Feng and said.
Well, this is decided, and there is no autonomy.
In the end, Chu Feng felt that he could only reluctantly accept this.
Let's just think of it as a lot of skills.
"Chu Feng, it's not good, something happened."
For two days, Chu Feng was basically sorting out the plan for the treatment of the locust plague according to Zhi Brain, so he didn't pay much attention to the outside affairs.
Early this morning, he saw Cheng Chumo coming, and he was a little puzzled.
"What's going on, could it be that those homeless people have done something drastic?"
"No, they don't have anything, but next to our restaurant, that is, the original Wang Xun's restaurant, is now open again, and it has changed its name."
"I thought it was something strange, isn't this a normal thing, can't we let someone else open a restaurant."
Chu Feng smiled and said very disapprerovitically.
He hadn't heard of a restaurant where anyone could monopolize it, and the business of this restaurant relied on word of mouth.
And for him, in addition to coming to the restaurant to make a little money, it was more to bring down Wang Xun.
"If it's an ordinary restaurant, I naturally don't care about it, but this time the restaurant is opened by the Lu family."
"The Lu family? Do you mean Fan Yang's Lu? ”
Chu Feng was a little surprised, this Wang Xun had also been down for some time, why did he suddenly take over the previous Wangjiang Tower at this time.
"Well, this time the Lu family, the person in charge of the restaurant is Lu Chao, he is a disciple of a branch of the Lu family, but his status is no worse than that of the main line disciple of the Lu family."
"Fatty, you are very well-informed, you were so surprised just now, so there must be something special about this Lu Chao."
Chu Feng smiled, then looked at Cheng Chumo and said.
"This Lu Chao's wife was married last year, and she was surnamed Wang, but she was the woman of the main line of the Wang family."
Chu Feng immediately understood after listening to Cheng Chumo's words.
No wonder Cheng Chumo would say something, since this Lu Chao's wife belongs to the Wang family.
Then if the Wang family is overturned, Lu Chao will definitely hate himself to the core.
After all, the Wang family is not only his relatives, but also his backers.
It seems that this Lu Chao is planning to deliberately find fault.
Chu Feng shook his head a little helplessly, why bother.
"Don't pay attention to him, if you don't know what to do, the Wang family is a lesson for him."
Chu Feng raised his hand and said indifferently.
"I'm afraid it's too late, so you might as well go and have a look."
