"puff--"
When Wei Zheng heard Zhao Chen's words, he couldn't help but immediately sprayed a mouthful of tea.
"Cough cough cough--" Wei Zheng coughed violently.
Zhao Chen looked at Lao Wei strangely, thinking that he was just asking casually, and you don’t have to be so excited.
"Zhao Chen, don't talk to others outside anymore. If you hear this, you will be beheaded." Wei Zheng said to Zhao Chen in a low voice.
I thought to myself that Zhao Chen was already doubting His Majesty’s identity.
His Majesty the Emperor told Wei Zheng that if Zhao Chen knew about the emperor, he would have to cut off Wei Zheng's head.
"My boss is just an imperial merchant, and his connections are relatively strong, and the rest..." Wei Zheng shook his head.
I definitely didn't dare to say much to Zhao Chen.
"I'll just ask casually." Zhao Chen nodded.
He didn't believe that the old head Li, who was not in a formal position, was a priest.
I just asked casually.
Wei Zheng originally wanted to ask about the skills of making tea, but now he has no idea. He just wanted to leave quickly.
"Zhao Chen, I have also delivered the things. The saltpeter mine can be mined. It depends on yourself when the construction starts."
"But I think we can make more money as soon as possible." Wei Zheng stood up and said goodbye to Zhao Chen.
"We can start construction tomorrow when the miners arrive." Zhao Chen nodded.
...
After Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu separated, they went home directly.
As soon as I walked to the gate of my house, I saw the old man standing in the yard with a smile on his face.
Several ox carts were parked in the yard.
"Old man, what is this?" Cheng Chumo couldn't help but ask curiously.
"The ice cubes sold by His Majesty Dongshi cannot be bought even if they have money at ordinary times. I picked up a bargain today." Cheng Yaojin said with a smile.
He bought a hundred kilograms of ice and spent five stagnant money.
It's also extremely luxurious.
When Cheng Chumo heard this, he thought of Zhao Chen asking him not to buy ice in Dongshi.
"Old man, I have a friend who just told me that it is best not to buy the ice cubes in Dongshi. He said that the price of ice cubes will drop in a few days." Cheng Chu thought for a while, and said to Cheng Yaojin.
Cheng Chumo thought that Zhao Chen had no need to deceive himself.
Ice is a symbol of status. If it is usually a normal person, it is difficult to buy even if you have money.
But Zhao Chen rejected his suggestion to send him ice cubes.
So……
"Are you kidding?" Cheng Yaojin didn't believe it.
Did he spend such a large price to buy the ice cube? As a result, Cheng Chumo said that his friend told him that the ice cube would fall.
Isn't this talking to him?
"I don't know either, but there is no need for Zhao Chen to lie to me. I wanted to send him ice cubes, but he refused." Cheng Chumo shook his head.
From the bottom of his heart, he himself didn't believe that the ice would drop in price.
In the hot summer, ice is a luxury, and it is good to buy it.
How could there be a price drop?
Unless it is said that a large amount of ice cubes appear in Dongshi next.
otherwise……
But only wealthy families have the capital to keep ice cubes in ice cellars in previous years.
Where did a large number of ice cubes come on the market?
"Oh, by the way, Zhao Chen told me that he wanted to ask some miners to help mine. Each person is fifty cents a month, and after the matter is completed, there will be a bonus of one hundred cents."
"So I want..." Cheng Chumo thought about what he promised Zhao Chen.
Cheng Yaojin has to nod in this matter.
"Fifty-month a month, Zhao Chen is generous." Cheng Yaojin was a little surprised.
"That's natural." Cheng Chumo smiled.
"You can do this by yourself. Pay attention to safety when mining." Cheng Yaojin waved his hand and said.
He didn't have much attention to this matter.
Cheng Yaojin thought about how to divide these ice cubes and whether to send some to Qin Qiong and the others.
...
Inside the Lizheng Hall.
Empress Changsun and Hongfu Nu sat together.
Hong Fu Nu was in a very bad mood. She felt more and more that the girl in her family could not control her.
I slept in the Wangyou Tavern for a night before, but I didn’t know about it after all.
But a few days ago, she heard the servants of the Li family talking about Li Ruoshuang and a strange boy riding on the same horse.
Is this worth it?
Her face in Li's mansion was really lost.
And she guessed that the boy was probably Zhao Chen.
Bastard!
This kid embarrassed her several times, which was simply outrageous.
If she hadn't been called to the palace by Empress Changsun, she would have to rush over this time and beat Zhao Chen up hard.
"Sister is still angry?" Empress Changsun held Hong Funu's hand and comforted her.
When Hongfu Nu heard about the incident between Zhao Chen and Li Ruoshuang from the mouth of Hongfu Nu, Empress Changsun was also stunned for a long time.
But I felt a little happy.
He thought that Zhao Chen's child was indeed capable, and then he met Li Ruoshuang a few times and dared to hug Li Ruoshuang and ride a horse in the downtown area.
But this kind of thing is not recommended.
It would be fine if Zhao Chen's identity has not been exposed yet. Once the people know that he is the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty in the future, it would be a loss of virtue.
"The Queen didn't know, so I said a few words to the girl, and she almost started to beat me up."
"The girl is so old, but she is not as sweet as that boy's words." Hongfu Nu shook her head, looking a little sad.
Queen Changsun was also stunned.
She also knew that Li Ruoshuang was tough, but why did she almost fight with Hongfu Nu?
This is not a good thing.
"Actually, it's not a fight. I scolded Ruoshuang a few times, and she slammed the door and came out."
"I'm so angry." Hong Funu guessed what Empress Changsun was thinking and quickly explained.
She didn't want Empress Changsun to misunderstand Li Ruoshuang.
Li Ruoshuang has a bad temper, but she will not be disrespectful to her elders.
"The little girl's house is young and she naturally has a temper. Even Azhi, who is in my family, often loses her temper."
"Just get used to it!" Queen Changsun said with a smile.
"Sister, I actually think that Zhao Chen's child is pretty good, capable, and steady." Empress Changsun said to Hongfu Nu as if she was pointing out.
Empress Changsun thought to herself, since Li Ruoshuang is like Zhao Chen, why not make this fate?
Zhao Chen is weak and has only one Fu Uncle by his side. Empress Changsun dares not send anyone to take care of Zhao Chen.
If something is wrong and someone misses it, it will be over.
Li Ruoshuang has a tough personality and is standing behind him. With her beside Zhao Chen, no one dares to attack Zhao Chen.
Even if Zhao Chen returned to the court after that, there would not be no helper around him who supported him.
Although the harem women were not allowed to interfere in politics, Empress Changsun was still a little biased when she thought that her son had been away for sixteen years.
"What the Empress said really makes sense. Last time, I was quite satisfied with that guy."
"I have the ability, the means, and be kind to others, but there is one thing that makes me embarrassed." Hong Fu Nu said slowly.
