Kidnapped by Princess Changle at the beginning

Cheng Chumo and Cheng Chubi's eyes lit up when they heard this.

Follow Chen Chu, you will definitely not suffer.

And definitely make a lot of money.

But Cheng Yaojin shook his head: "Fifth brother, you invented this cement yourself, I can't help you much, why don't you make the money yourself, why do you need to bring it to Duke Lu's mansion."

Facing Cheng Yaojin's refusal, Chen Chu insisted: "Fourth brother, you don't need to say anything, the cement business is very big, with my own ability, I'm afraid it will be just a small fight in a short time, you and I cooperate , It’s a win-win thing, there is no one who suffers, in a word, I am in charge of production, you are in charge of selling, and the profit will be divided into [-]-[-].”

"it is good!"

Cheng Yaojin stopped being pretentious and readily agreed.

The next step is to discuss the details of the cooperation.

In order to avoid confusion, Chen Chu drafted a detailed cooperation agreement.

The next day, the expansion of the cement plant began.

At the same time, the Ministry of Rites and Yousi in the imperial court had already obtained the birth dates of Chen Chu and Princess Changle Li Lizhi, and began preparations for the wedding.

……

A month later.

Cement plant expansion completed.

What was originally a small cement factory has become twenty times its previous size.

After three to five days of training, the newly recruited craftsmen have also mastered the corresponding skills, and all of them can be put into production.

At the gate of the cement factory, Chen Chu and Cheng Yaojin walked in side by side.

Cheng Chumo and Cheng Chubi followed closely behind.

Walking to the bottom of the gate, Chen Chu suddenly took out a cloth mask and handed it to several people.

Everyone in the entire cement plant, whether they were craftsmen, supervisors, or foremen, Chen Chu had ordered that all of them wear masks.

Cheng Yaojin looked at the mask and asked, "Isn't this something His Royal Highness used to run? Why do you want this?"

Chen Chu pointed to the gray air full of suspended matter not far away, and asked, "What do you think of the environment, fourth brother?"

Cheng Yaojin laughed, and said indifferently: "It's very good here."

Cheng Chumo and Cheng Chubi looked at it, but they didn't find anything wrong.

Chen Chu was speechless.

People in this era are not yet aware of the protection of the air.

So in the eyes of Cheng Yaojin and others, there is nothing wrong with the environment around the cement factory, but they feel very comfortable, because these things are all for making money, and the money earned is also a part of Lu Guogong's mansion.

Chen Chu threw the mask to Cheng Yaojin: "Fourth brother, you'd better put it on, otherwise I'm afraid you won't be able to drink with us in half a year."

Cheng Yaojin hurriedly put on the mask in a daze.

Walk through the door.

It is a huge and spacious square.

On the square, Zhu Neng brought thousands of craftsmen together.

Seeing Chen Chu, Zhu Neng and others hurried over.

"Boss, all these craftsmen have passed the training, and the unqualified ones have been sent away..." Zhu Neng reported happily.

Chen Chu glanced around and said, "Old Zhu, let them quickly return to their work stations and start producing cement. From now on, work hard and produce as much raw material as there is. In the next few days, there will be A steady stream of iron ore slag is being transported in, and your task is to digest all of these iron ore slag in the fastest time..."

"Yes!"

Zhu Neng quickly agreed, then ran back and directed the workers to leave one after another.

Chen Chu and Cheng Yaojin introduced as they walked: "I asked Zhu Neng to calculate that the current cement plant can produce two thousand catties of cement every day, but before that, it could only produce fifty catties a day. At the beginning, I promised Changsun Wuji and the others, after the cement is officially sold, they will all be paid one hundred catties."

One hundred catties of cement is very expensive.

After all, the price of cement is very cheap in later generations.

But Chen Chu has his reasons for setting such a price.

First, the technology is immature, and the cost of raw materials and labor for cement production is relatively high.

Second, cement is a fresh product after all. If the price is set too low, it will be regarded as worthless garbage. At the same time, it will not help the cement factory to make money.

Cheng Yaojin didn't speak.

But I heard Chen Chu say: "However, today is different. Now, I plan to set the selling price of every hundred catties of cement as three pennies."

Sanguan?

Cheng Yaojin was stunned suddenly, and he was so excited that he grabbed Chen Chu's sleeve: "Fifth brother, if we do this, will we be regarded as treacherous and unruly? Besides, although this cement is powerful, it is also not easy to use." Isn't it worth a hundred catties for three pens?"

Cheng Yaojin already knew that the cost of [-] catties of cement was only about [-] Wen.

Now they want to sell three strings of money.

A full ten times the price.

Too profitable.

But he was worried that someone would buy this cement!

That's why he was very surprised by Chen Chu's words.

"You know, Changsun Old Goblin and those people are all human beings. Since you promised them a hundred catties at the beginning, but now you have changed your mind, with their temper, I'm afraid they won't let you go easily, especially those like Wei Zheng. Officer, maybe they will still say that you have no credibility."

"Fifth brother, why don't we still earn a hundred catties as usual, and earn less?"

Although Cheng Yaojin was fearless, he was afraid of damaging his reputation.

He could predict that once this matter got out, there would definitely be many people who would slander Chen Chu.

He was worried.

"Fifth brother, you are still young!"

Chen Chu laughed when he heard the words: "Fourth brother, you don't have to worry about me at all, don't worry, they don't dare to blame me for this matter."

"This...why is this?" Cheng Yaojin frowned, unable to figure it out.

Chen Chu smiled slightly: "You will know then."

Chen Chu had a plan in his mind, but the father and son of the Cheng family looked dumbfounded.

……

The Duke of Qi.

backyard.

By the quiet pond, there is a sound of frogs.

Changsun Wuji and Gao Shilian sat beside them and sipped tea.

Gao Shilian asked: "Wuji, Princess Gesang of Tubo has been married to Duke Qi's mansion for a long time, and I haven't heard a word of complaint from you. It seems that you are satisfied with this daughter-in-law?"

Changsun Wuji chuckled and said, "Uncle, actually, I hated Chen Chu for this matter at first. After all, the Tubo princess is very different from the Central Plains people, and she grew up in a barbarian land." , How can I enter the door of my Duke of Qi's mansion, but after Princess Gesang actually married, I found out that although this Tubo princess does not speak the Central Plains well, she has learned the Central Plains culture, poetry etiquette, and historical books since she was a child. She has dabbled in everything, compared to her, my son, Chang Sun Chong, seems to be truly ignorant."

After a pause, Changsun Wuji continued: "There is one more thing, Chong'er, since marrying Princess Gesang, she seems to have changed, she has become gentle and refined, and she no longer goes to mischief in Chang'an city. In the past few days, I have been on duty at Zongzheng Temple on time and returned on time."

Hearing this, Gao Shilian was also dumbfounded.

As the saying goes, the country is easy to change and the nature is hard to change, but Chang Sun Chong actually changed it?

……

Chapter 247 The Secret of Raising Prices

Gao Shilian thought for a while and said: "Wuji, it seems that Chong'er went to the Western Regions and learned a lot. Sometimes, I really envy you. You have a good son... Follow Xue Rengui and wait I went to Tubo for a trip, and when I came back, I got a title, was rewarded by His Majesty, and married a princess by the way... Thinking about your little cousin Gao Shifu, I have a headache. It has passed the year of the crown, But I'm still confused, I can't do anything..."

Back then, Gao Xing and Chang Sun Chong were called the second of the four great dudes in Chang'an.

Now, Chang Sun Chong has taken off his dandyism.

Ke Gao performed the same thing as Fang Yiai and Wang Jingzhi.

How could Gao Shilian not have a headache.

Changsun Wuji didn't know what to say.

If someone said that he had a good son, he would only think that the other party was mocking him.

But now, with all the performances of Changsun Chong, he can indeed be called a good son.

He took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, and said, "Uncle, speaking of it, I have to thank Chen Chu for this matter, but that kid suddenly appeared and became Princess Gesang's godfather, causing Chong'er I still have to call him Yuezhang, thinking of this, I can't beat him..."

"Ha ha……"

Gao Shilian laughed when he heard this.

At this moment, the housekeeper of Duke Qi's mansion rushed over and said, "Master, just now the servants of Duke Lu's mansion sent a message, saying that they want to bring it to you personally."

Changsun Wuji frowned: "Cheng Zhijie? Duke Qi's mansion and Duke Lu's mansion don't have close contacts. Why would he suddenly want to send a message to this old man? By the way, what did the person who came say?"

The housekeeper repeated: "Master, the people from Duke Lu's mansion said that the cement in Duke Lu's mansion will start selling tomorrow. If we need cement, we can send people to the cement factory a mile outside Chunming Gate to buy it."

cement?

Zhangsun Wuji's eyes lit up.

Gao Shilian was stunned, and said, "Cement, isn't the cement Chen Chu's? How did it end up in Cheng Zhijie's hands?"

Changsun Wuji thought for a while, then sneered and said, "Uncle, don't you know that Chen Chu and Cheng Yaojin must be in partnership... This Cheng Zhijie, stupid people have stupid blessings. If I had known, I would have proposed and With Chen Chu's cooperation, cement and other sharp construction tools will definitely sell a lot, and by then, they will naturally make a lot of money."

Changsun Wuji regretted it.

The government of Qi State is rich.

The grandson's family is also rich.

But no one thinks they have too much money.

On the contrary, Changsun Wuji thinks he doesn't have enough money.

As long as there is a chance to make money, he is still very happy.

It's just that, at the beginning, he had always been hostile to Chen Chu, so naturally he didn't think about it.

Now, the opportunity to make money is taken by Cheng Yaojin first.

Changsun Wuji was a little unhappy.

Gao Shilian smacked his lips and said, "With Cheng Zhijie's character, I'm afraid the whole city knows about this matter. It just so happens that I will take a rest tomorrow, and I want to go and see it too."

"Uncle, I have exactly the same intention, and we will go together tomorrow. Things like cement are perfect for building mansions, especially Chen Chu's house. I went to see it in person. It is almost like a piece of stone. , like a solid tortoise shell, very strange, and the road he built with cement, after cleaning, it was spotless, even the carpet was saved... Also, I asked carefully, that Peach Blossom Island was originally just a The small mound can look like it does now because of the cement..."

When mentioning Chen Chu's new mansion, Changsun Wuji was full of praise.

As a person with status, power, and wealth, Changsun Wuji actually envied Chen Chu a little in his heart.

Chen Chuna's mansion is really well built, and it makes people feel comfortable to live in.

Gao Shilian nodded and agreed: "Wuji, what you said is reasonable. It seems that tomorrow I have to go there myself."

The two looked at each other with a smile, raised their teacups, and continued drinking tea.

……

The next day.

early morning.

The gate of Chunming Gate has just been opened.

I saw luxuriously decorated carriages leaving the city one after another and heading straight to the east.

The soldiers guarding the city were very puzzled.

Although Chunming Gate is the east gate of Chang'an City, it is always lively.

But it was the first time I saw so many carriages with extraordinary origins leaving the city at the same time.

After the carriages left the city, they went straight down a hill to the east.
