The heavy snow has stopped.

The cold wind still whistles.

Chen Chu was too lazy to go back to Duke Lu's mansion, so he lived directly on the Chunming Gate Tower.

Here, you can always keep track of the progress of the mansion construction.

Although the mountains are covered with heavy snow outside, the snow is covered with snow, and everything is silent, and even the wild dogs on the street hide away, they are in full swing on the construction site.

When it snows, don’t worry. Chen Chu had someone to build a construction tent with coarse cloth.

When it freezes, don't worry. Chen Chu has already made people stock up on a lot of coal.

At the same time, Chen Chu can also remotely control Cheng Chubi to sell meat.

Judging from the sales situation in the past two days, the profit is still considerable.

Just as Chen Chu was drinking tea happily and checking the design drawings of the mansion, the door was pushed open, and a cold wind came in, and Chen Chu had a cold war.

When he looked up, he saw a young eunuch looking at him with a smile and said, "Young Master Chen, don't be fine..."

Chen Chu asked, "We know each other?"

The little eunuch said politely: "Young Master Chen has forgotten so much. You don't know the little one, but the little one knows you. The little one used to serve His Majesty in Ganlu Hall. Now, Gao Chen and Gao broke their leg, so they let the little one be His Majesty's close servant..."

Chen Chu was stunned.

That guy Gao Chen broke his leg?

I'm gonna be!

Deserve it!

He stood up and smiled, "This is really sad news, hahaha, isn't it?"

The little eunuch also said, "Yes, hahaha, Mr. Chen, you are so humorous."

Chen Chu asked, "Is there anything wrong?"

The little eunuch said, "Your Majesty invites you to meet at the Grand Restaurant in Chang'an."

My father wants to see me?

Why not come to Chunmingmen?

But he quickly figured it out.

Near Chunming Gate, there are many people and eyes, and they have to climb the city tower. Li Er is worried about revealing his identity.

So he picked up one of his special custom-made bear fur coats and followed the eunuch out.

...

Chang'an big restaurant.

The best room in the room.

When Li Erzheng put the meat into the pot one by one, Chen Chu came in with the cold wind.

Seeing Chen Chu come in, Li Er put down his chopsticks, his expression remained unmoved, and his tone was neither salty nor indifferent: "Chen Chu, you have made a lot of money by selling meat in the past few days, right?"

Chen Chu sat down and said subconsciously: "It's okay, you're making money... Yes, no, Father, what you said is wrong, I didn't make a penny..."

"Now, the meat in the East and West markets is sold by your people. The price of a pound of meat is as high as several hundred cents. Do you still say you didn't make any money?" Li Er raised his eyes and looked at Chen Chu.

Chen Chu waved his hand and said, "Father, to be disrespectful, if you don't do business, you don't know the difficulties of doing business. In fact, although I sell it at a high price, I have no money at all."

Um?

Li Eryi looks like you think I am a fool?

He looked at Chen Chu with a sneer.

Chen Chu carefully analyzed: "First, the meat in my hand was bought at a high price...the price was already higher than the market price."

"Secondly, in order to pile up the meat, I rented a piece of land outside the city and hired a group of people to patrol day and night. As the cold land is frozen today, I am worried that the meat will be frozen, so I have to take warm measures..."

"And then, in order to respond to the call of my father, I asked me to take out the meat and sell it, which also required a lot of trouble."

"After a while, labor costs, land rents, heating costs, and thawing costs, add up, and I don't actually make money."

Chen Chu spoke very quickly.

Li Er was stunned when he heard this.

He nodded subconsciously, feeling that what Chen Chu said was still very reasonable.

wrong!

He suddenly slapped the table and said, "Boy, if I hadn't understood your personality, I would have been almost deceived by you. What you said made sense and sounded impeccable, but you forgot one thing, that is, I know you very well and have no benefit, will you do things that are not good?"

As long as there is this premise.

That's enough.

According to the principle of simple reasoning, you can say this:

Chen Chu would not do anything without profit.

Now Chen Chu does not have any benefits in doing this.

Obviously it is contrary.

So Li Er concluded that Chen Chu would definitely make money.

"Won't!"

Since Li Er thought this with preconceived thought, Chen Chu would not say anything.

well!

He sighed in his heart.

Lao Li has learned bad things.

When Lao Li heard about economics, he listened carefully and worshiped him very much.

It's so good now, I'm suspicious about learning bad things.

Chen Chu looked up and happened to see Li Er's smiling face.

Li Er smiled proudly and said, "Since that's the case, I will give you a task today. From tomorrow, the price of meat sold in the East and West 2 markets shall not exceed 10% of the previous market price. If I find that any butcher shop has a higher price, I will not spare you..."

Chen Chu: "…"

I'm so fucked up.

In the beginning, I used the emperor's identity to suppress me and asked me to sell meat.

Now I am using the emperor's identity to reduce the price?

Is it reasonable?

unreasonable!

But Chen Chu nodded and agreed.

I agreed very quickly.

It even surprised Li Er.

But seeing Chen Chu's serious look, Li Er felt that this was still reliable.

As he said that, he saw Chen Chu pick up the chopsticks and start picking up the scalloped meat slices from the pot. After eating them in a few seconds, he looked satisfied.

Li Er said unhappily: "Brother Chen, I know that during the period when the meat was broken in Chang'an City, you had meat three times a day, and every meal was full. Why did you come to me to grab meat and eat it..."

Chen Chu said with distress: "It's not okay if you don't rob it. My father, you will lose a lot of money. If you don't eat some meat, how can you live in the future..."

Li Er: “…”

...

Chen Chu returned to the vicinity of Chunming Gate and immediately asked someone to find Cheng Chubi.

Cheng Chubi said, "Uncle, let's just sell all the meat at a high price. Anyway, what Your Majesty said is that from tomorrow, there is still time today..."

At a young age, Cheng Chubi felt that His Majesty Li Er was unfair to do things.

Seeing that the great opportunity to make a fortune was gone, he was not happy.

Chen Chu waved his hand: "Not to it, Chu Bi, you have to understand one truth, that is, there are policies from the top and countermeasures from the bottom. Don't worry, your uncle is not a fool, how can you do such a loss? Since I promised my father, I naturally have a way to solve it..."

Cheng Chubi's eyes lit up, he came over and asked, "Uncle, what's the solution?"

Chen Chu explained in a low voice.

Cheng Chubi ran away.

Before leaving, he was full of joy and swept away his discouraged look.

...

The next morning.

Ganlu Temple.

Li Er looked at Changsun Wuji and others happily and asked, "Auxiliary machine, have you ever heard that the meat prices in the East and West markets have dropped?"
Chapter completed!
