"The sons used to be confused, relying on the love of their father and mother, so they acted recklessly. Now that the sons have repented, they have decided to change their past mistakes, and ask their father, queen and mother to forgive their previous mistakes!"

When Emperor Chu heard this, he immediately walked over and grabbed Chu Mo's shoulder, and said excitedly: "Okay, Prince, I am really happy that you can think like this." If you can really change your past mistakes in the future, no matter how the ministers oppose it, I will find a way to keep your position in the East Palace. ”

"Thank you, father!" Chu Mo hurriedly thanked.

The queen next to her saw that it was rare for the father and son to talk for a while, but they were talking about the position of the East Palace, so she glared at Emperor Chu and said, "This is a family banquet today, you father and son should stop talking about state affairs." ”

"Yes, yes, the queen is right. Prince, today I and the Queen have specially prepared a banquet in the Imperial Garden for you to come and eat together, and our family has not sat down for a meal together for a long time. ”

After speaking, Emperor Chu hurriedly seated them.

Chu Mo looked at the dozen or so exquisite dishes on the table, but there was no dish made of chicken, so he hurriedly said: "Father, mother, and son-in-law recently created a lotus leaf chicken, which is widely loved by the people of Kyoto. Today, Erchen specially brought it into the palace to give his father and mother a good taste. ”

"Hey, hey, hey, I've actually heard of your lotus leaf chicken name for a long time, but you stinky boy was so biased that you only gave two to the queen, and you forgot about me. Chu Huang licked his saliva and couldn't help but get excited.

"The father forgave the sins, and the son brought more than a dozen lotus leaf chickens, which should be to make amends to the father. Chu Mo said with a slight fist.

Then immediately asked people to knock open the mud shells of the dozen or so lotus leaf chickens that were still hot in front of Emperor Chu, and brought the fragrant lotus leaf chickens to the table.

Emperor Chu's eyes suddenly lit up, looked at the steaming lotus leaf chicken in front of him, and asked: "Is this the legendary lotus leaf chicken?" It's so fragrant, the strong aroma of roast chicken is mixed with a faint fragrance of lotus leaves, but it makes this roast chicken smell not greasy at all. ”

"Father, please taste it!" Chu Mo said.

Emperor Chu was no longer polite, and immediately ripped off a chicken leg and handed it to Queen Tang Lan, and then ripped off another chicken leg and handed it to Chu Mo, who hurriedly took it with a smile.

Hong Sifeng and Li Jin, who were next to him, also knew each other and sent the palace maids and eunuchs who were waiting to a few dozen meters away, so that the Empress Chu and the crown prince could let go of eating and drinking, while the two old eunuchs stood a few meters away and guarded silently.

After a while, suddenly a little eunuch hurriedly ran over, and then whispered a few words to Hong Sifeng, and Hong Sifeng walked to Emperor Chu again.

Emperor Chu put down the lotus leaf chicken in his hand and asked, "Gonggong Hong, what happened?"

Hong Sifeng glanced at Chu Mo, and then replied: "Back to Your Majesty, those stores in Kyoto that sell lotus-leaf chickens have hung a plaque this morning, which reads' For every lotus-leaf chicken sold, donate five taels of silver to the affected people in Qingling and Qingling Prefectures." From the morning to now, more than 30,000 lotus leaf chickens have been sold in more than 100 stores in Kyoto. ”

"It's only noon, and more than 30,000 of them have been sold this morning? In other words, in one morning, they donated 150,000 taels to the people of Qingling and Qingling Prefectures?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. Hong Sifeng also squinted his eyes and smiled: "And according to this trend, we should be able to sell sixty or seventy thousand lotus leaf chickens today!"

"That's more than 300,000 taels!" Emperor Chu was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look at Chu Mo, who was silently bowing his head and eating lotus leaf chicken, and said happily: "Mo'er, on this day, you have raised more than 300,000 taels for the people of Qingling Prefecture, and in just a few days, the five million taels for disaster relief should be raised soon." Prince, you have solved another troublesome matter for me, it is really my lucky star!"

"My father's words are serious, and it is a blessing for my son to be able to share my father's worries. Chu Mo said modestly.

Emperor Chu looked at him excitedly, not knowing what to say for a while.

You must know that the queen used her connections to summon those official wives in Kyoto into the palace, but she only raised 300,000 taels, and she still entrusted Chu Mo with the blessing of the two lotus leaf chickens.

And now, Chu Mo has donated more than 300,000 taels to the disaster area in one day, and as long as this situation persists for a few more days, it is not difficult to raise 5 million taels of disaster relief funds at all.

After eating in the Imperial Garden, Emperor Chu originally planned to reward Chu Mo well, but Chu Mo politely refused, saying that he didn't lack anything now, and that he would remember this reward first, and then ask for it when he needed it in the future.

Emperor Chu thought he was embarrassed, so he didn't force it anymore.

After coming out of the palace, Chu Mo took Li Jin to Wangjiang Tower again. Now that he has money in hand, he naturally wants to continue to expand the power of Jin Yutang, and after giving some silver taels to the dozen or so masters of the rivers and lakes, Chu Mo explained a few words to them.

It's nothing more than asking them to recruit people as soon as possible, and then set up a few rudders in Kyoto. Just wait for them to form a large force, and then they can officially announce the establishment of Jinyutang to the people on the rivers and lakes, so as to attract more people from the rivers and lakes to join Jinyutang.

It seems that it is a bit like the company going public, and slowly making the company bigger and stronger. Finally, go public, attract more people to invest, join the company, and make the listed company bigger and stronger.

And now, Jin Yutang is in a stage of rapid growth, as long as these people in the rivers and lakes gradually have a sense of belonging to Jin Yutang, and no longer leave Jin Yutang easily, plus Jin Yutang has a staff of three or five hundred, Chu Mo can throw the signboard of Jin Yutang.

However, in a short period of time, if all this is done, in addition to his strategy and Li Jinen's power, he still needs a large amount of silver two supports, otherwise everything is just empty talk.

Don't look at his current income of one million taels a day, but the money he spends in the future will also be like flowing water. Just recruiting people from the rivers and lakes and expanding the rate of the prince's guard can cost him a lot of money.

Therefore, money is never enough to spend, and the more money the better!

After arranging the affairs of Jin Yutang, Chu Mo went to inspect the various stores again, and after making sure that everything was as usual, he followed Li Jin back to the Prince's Mansion with confidence.

At the same time, they began to buy goods from other places in Kyoto to see how popular this lotus leaf chicken was. I'm afraid that the batch of live chickens he collected before will be sold out in a few days, and there are not many dried lotus leaves left, so he must go to other places to buy them.

This is also the reason why, after the popularity of Prince Lotus Leaf Chicken, there are still no copycat products popping up the next day. On the one hand, most of the live chickens in Kyoto were taken away by him, and the same was true of those dried lotus leaves, and even if there were any, they were only a very small part.
