Who knows, the courtiers unanimously opposed it.

In particular, Wei Zheng, a servant under the door and a doctor of imperial history, opposed the most fiercely.

Wei Zheng even said that as an emperor, using money from the national treasury to fill the internal treasury at will is tantamount to a foolish emperor, and only a tyrant like Emperor Sui Yang could do it.

Li Er was so angry that he waved his sleeves and walked back.

Who knew that Wei Zheng rushed up and grabbed his sleeve, persuading him non-stop.

Li Er was so angry that he almost couldn't bear to have Wei Zheng chopped off.

"Wei Zheng, an idiot, doesn't give me face in front of civil and military officials. It's really unreasonable... I'm going to remove his post as servant and doctor of the imperial court, and send him to the northwest border..." Li Er said angrily said.

Gao Chen and the others were too frightened to vent their anger.

At this moment, a young eunuch ran in and reported: "Your Majesty, Cheng Chu, the captain of Xiaoqi School of Longwu Army, begs to see you silently."

Li Er was stunned: "Isn't Cheng Chumo in Qinling? Why did he come back suddenly? Let him in!"

Cheng Chumo entered the hall.

He stepped forward to salute, but he hesitated to speak.

Seeing this, Li Er waved his hand, and turned around.

Cheng Chumo said in a panic, "Your Majesty, something serious has happened!"

Li Er hurriedly asked: "What's going on?"

Cheng Chumo said: "Your Majesty, last night, the Eldest Princess entered Chen Chu's wooden house and came out at dawn. I observed Chen Chu, her legs trembling, as if she had collapsed..."

what?

Li Er's complexion changed drastically.

Lonely man and widow, living in the same room.

Stayed out all night!

Chen Chu still collapsed?

What the hell happened that night?

Li Er couldn't imagine.

Cheng Chumo said again: "Your Majesty, last night, Chen Chu took the eldest princess to the cliff, and the two of them spent the middle of the night alone on the top of the cliff."

He didn't dare to say that the eldest princess and Chen Chu hugged each other.

boom.

Li Er punched it down.

The solid table fell apart in an instant.

He was already angry, but when he heard that Chen Chu did such a thing with Princess Changle, he immediately became furious.

"I, I want to kill Chen Chu immediately!"

"I want to tear him into pieces with my own hands!"

"Cheng Chumo, immediately dispatch people to follow me out of the city, I will kill Chen Chu today!"

Kakaka.

Li Er's fists were clenched louder than ever.

Cheng Chumo turned pale with fright.

He had never seen Li Er get so angry.

……

Chapter 15

ding ding dong.

Early in the morning.

There were busy sounds from inside Chen Chu's thatched cottage.

Chen Chu was squatting on the ground, busy with her work, humming a song: "Use your fiery red lips to make me ecstasy endlessly in the middle of the night..."

boom.

The door was kicked open suddenly.

Chen Chu was startled.

turn back.

I saw Li Er standing aggressively at the door.

Cheng Chumo followed behind.

Chen Chu asked curiously: "Oh, Lao Li, Cheng A Niu, do you know each other?"

Cheng Chumo nodded, and said in a low voice, "This... this is from our shopkeeper..."

Chen Chu looked at Li Er, and said carelessly: "Old Li, your business is quite big, and you can hire so many bodyguards, tsk tsk... Eh, you still have a sword, why, did you practice sword instead? You are shining brightly, I am afraid it is a silver sword! I am not talking about you, your figure is so puffy, I am afraid that it is enough..."

Li Er clenched his sword tightly.

I can't stand it anymore.

Shuzi!

It's not a pity to die!

Swish.

He raised his sword and was about to strike.

But Chen Chu suddenly took out a palm-sized milky white thing from behind, and asked with a smile: "Lao Li, do you want to make money? Do you want to get rich?"

money!

This word seems to have magic power.

Li Er's movements stopped instantly.

It turned out that during this period of time, Li Er worried about the emptiness of the internal treasury and the tightness of the national treasury.

Money is always mentioned in sleep talk.

The majestic emperor of the Tang Dynasty was really short of money.

Short of money, Empress Changsun planned to secretly send people to sell some good things from various places in the palace to raise money.

Li Er paused and asked subconsciously, "Do you have a way to make money?"

Chen Chu pointed to the thing in his hand and said, "This thing can make money!"

Li Er took it over and took a closer look. He only felt that the thing was fragrant and smooth in his hand.

But it has never been seen before!

He handed it to Cheng Chumo.

Cheng Chumo looked at it, smelled it, and said, "Your Majesty... shopkeeper, I think this thing is for food, it's so delicious."

As he spoke, he took a bite, chewed a few times, and suddenly his face changed drastically.

It turned out to be spicy.

Cheng Chumo spit it out quickly, and looked at Chen Chu sadly: "Brother Chen, this food is too unpalatable."

Chen Chu couldn't laugh or cry, "This thing is not for eating at all."

Li Er asked curiously: "What's the use of that? Why can it make money?"

Chen Chu pointed to Cheng Chumo's clothes, took two steps back, and asked, "Cheng Aniu, you haven't washed your clothes for a few months, right?"

Cheng Chumo said proudly: "Brother Chen has good eyesight. I haven't washed my clothes for five months."

Chen Chu: "..."

Good guy!

The clothes on Cheng Chumo's body should have been blue.

It's almost black now.

The dirt on the clothes has become one with the clothes.

Chen Chu asked: "Do you think this dress can still be washed?"

Cheng Chu shook his head silently.

People in this era mainly rely on pounding to wash their clothes, doing miracles vigorously to get the dirt out of the clothes.

Or just add saponins, plant ash and the like.

But the effect is limited.

Clothes that are too dirty, nothing can be done.

Chen Chu smiled: "Next, it's time to witness a miracle."

He asked Cheng Chumo to take off his clothes and throw them into the tub. After turning on the water, he put the thing that Cheng Chumo had bitten into and soaked it for half an hour.

Then let Cheng Chumo rub it by himself, and rinse it with clean water a few times.

Wait until the clothes are wrung dry.

Both Cheng Chumo and Li Er were taken aback.

The clothes that were so dirty that they could no longer be dirty turned out to be clean and restored to their original appearance.

Cheng Chumo was even more surprised and said: "Shopkeeper, look, the clothes have become clean, and there is still a fragrance!"

Li Er heard it, and it was true.

Chen Chu introduced from the side: "This thing is called soap, and it can be used not only for washing clothes, but also for bathing... The fragrance can last for two or three days, and the palm-sized piece is enough for bathing. Use it more than a dozen times, Lao Li, tell me, how much can you buy it for?"

Cheng Chumo stared at the remaining soap, and said, "Sell it to me, and I'm willing to offer fifty sticks."

Li Er thought for a while, then pondered: "I've never seen this thing before, not even in Chang'an City, and it's miraculously effective. If it's for sale, it's not expensive... wait, you plan to sell soap? However, if it is too expensive, ordinary people cannot afford it.”

Chen Chu laughed: "I didn't intend to sell it to ordinary people... There are rich people in Chang'an City, and many rich people have a lot of wealth, but they have nowhere to spend it. It is just right to sell it to them. The cost of this piece of soap is only a few dollars." Ten pennies, tell me, can this business be done?"

"How much?" Li Er was so excited that he stuttered when he heard this.

Chen Chu repeated: "The cost does not exceed fifty cash."

Chen Chu was actually not satisfied with this cost.

The manufacture of scented soap, the principle is not complicated, and the process is also simple.

But because the productivity is backward, there is no such thing as assembly line production, and the cost is a little higher.

When there are a large number of familiar craftsmen and mature craftsmanship in the future, the cost will drop.

As everyone knows, the cost of fifty Wen has scared Li Er into a fool.

It costs fifty coins and sells fifty guan.

It's a huge profit!

What a money grab!

Li Er was moved.

What he needs most now is money.

If this soap really sells well.

Not to mention making up the shortfall of the internal treasury, at least it can increase the income of the internal treasury.

In fact, Neiku has always been in business.

For example, there are several cloth shops and several porcelain shops in Chang'an City, which are the business of the inner warehouse. Unfortunately, the business has not been very good all the time.

But this soap gave Li Er hope.

He knew that those rich and rich people would definitely not be able to help buying things that even he was tempted by.
