The God-Level Prodigal Son of the Tang Dynasty

But in an instant, Zhao Chen rejected his idea.

Old Li Tou is just a fat middle-aged man, his cheeks are so big, how can he look like a saint?

If Old Li Tou was really the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, based on his behavior in front of him, the Tang Dynasty would have died long ago.

The prosperous age of Zhenguan? It doesn't exist!

Also, I have embarrassed Lao Litou several times, and in front of many people.

If Old Li Tou was really Li Shimin, he probably would have chopped it off on the spot.

How could he behave like that?

After thinking about it, Zhao Chen still felt that Old Li Tou was an imperial merchant who specialized in serving the royal family.

Otherwise, it would not explain why he could live in the north.

Didn't this news spread everywhere? Zhao Chen, you don't know? Cheng Chumo asked curiously. .??.

Nowadays, everyone with money buys ice.

Those were ice cubes sold by the emperor, and they were more precious than ordinary ice cubes.

Just when they came over, Zheng He from the Zheng family in Xingyang had already bought 8,888 kilograms of ice.

The carriages transporting ice cubes from the palace came one after another with no end in sight.

My place is clean and there are few guests, so I haven't heard of it. Zhao Chen explained.

Hey, it's really clean here. I'll buy two kilograms of ice cubes for you after we finish our meal.

The ice cubes in Dongshi cost fifty cents per catty, and two catties cost one hundred cents.

Brothers, be good to you! Cheng Chumo said with a smile.

They want to make friends with Zhao Chen.

But if you pay for the meal, it becomes a business.

So the two of them thought of giving Zhao Chen a gift.

One hundred articles is quite a lot!

But Zhao Chen doesn't need it.

What kind of icebreaker, doesn't he want as much as he wants?

Still have to spend money to buy it?

Don't buy these ice cubes. Also, your family members shouldn't buy these things either.

Soon after, this

Some ice cubes are on the street. If you need them at that time, you can buy some. Zhao Chen said slowly.

What?

Bad streets?

Zhao Chen, are you sure you are not joking with us?

This ice cube is sold by the saint to raise food and wages. How can it be a bad street?

The two of them were filled with astonishment, and it was difficult to believe what Zhao Chen said.

Zhao Chen smiled. As an imperial merchant, Old Li Tou must have passed this matter on.

The price of ice is about to plummet, and the saint naturally knows it.

As for raising food and wages, it is just a high-sounding excuse.

Then you can go buy some, but don't cry then! Zhao Chen said casually.

He has reminded the two of them that whether they believe it or not has nothing to do with them.

The two of them were stunned for a moment, thinking that Zhao Chen was so sure.

I couldn't help but give up the idea of ​​buying ice.

By the way, you two have come to my place so many times for nothing. Now I have something that I need your help with.

Well, brother, just ask, Xiao Qin and I will definitely help you handle it. Cheng Chumo said, patting his chest.

The food here is so delicious that he wants to eat here every day.

If Zhao Chen wants to help himself, he must do it for him.

Qin Huaiyu's mouth was full of food and he was speechless at the moment. He kept nodding his head to express that he would definitely help.

Zhao Chen told the two of them that he needed a group of mining people.

Then Cheng Chumo patted his chest and said, Brother, I will find as many people as you need.

If nothing else, the people have enough control, and they are all honest farmers.

Cheng Chumo's family has a large field, and they hire people to cultivate it.

Now it's too late to be busy.

It is also possible to help mine for two months.

What's more, each person has a salary of fifty cents per month, which is more than they can earn from farming.

If it weren't for the worry that Zhao Chen wouldn't need too many people, Cheng Chumo would have sent everyone there.

About five hundred people. Because the time is tight and the task is heavy, we need to take turns mining day and night.

At the end of the mining, each person will receive a bonus of one hundred yuan. Zhao Chen thought for a while and said.

It's done, I'll get out of these five hundred people by myself.

Bah, Lao Cheng, you are shameless. Brother, I will do this job. I will make sure that all of them are strong men, the kind who work hard and don't complain. Qin Huaiyu was unwilling immediately.

That's a lot of money.

If they can win it for the people below them, they will definitely be grateful.

This is a job that is both profitable and popular.

Even if the relationship between the two is very good, it can't be said that they don't want it.

Xiao Qin, believe it or not, I will beat you up! Cheng Chumo raised his fist.

Come on, do you think I'm afraid of you? Qin Huaiyu didn't show weakness.

Both of their fathers were military commanders, so their fists and kicks were naturally not bad.

That's enough! Zhao Chen yelled impatiently.

These two bastards, do you want to destroy your tavern again?

You two each pay half, it's best to bring them over in the next few days. Zhao Chen said.

Don't worry, I will make sure to satisfy you, brother! Cheng Chumo said, patting his chest.

Brother, I don't dare to say anything else. This matter will be handled properly for you. Qin Huaiyu did not fall behind.

…

After finishing their meal, Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu walked home with their arms around each other and their chubby bellies.

They also need to discuss with their families about mobilizing manpower.

Zhao Chen, I'm here to deliver mining documents to you! Wei Zheng stood in the tavern

Inside, he shouted something inside.

Zhao Chen was taking a lunch break when he heard Wei Zheng's voice and opened his eyes with difficulty.

Why are there so many people here at noon?

Zhao Chen thought to himself.

He got up, yawned, and walked to the front tavern, where he saw Wei Zheng sitting on the bench, minding his own business and drinking tea.

Old Wei! Zhao Chen sat down beside him, looking sleepy.

Zhao Chen, here are the mining documents. They have been prepared for you. Wei Zheng handed over a document and placed it in front of Zhao Chen.

He didn't talk much to Zhao Chen and just drank tea by himself.

Not to mention, the tea served here by Zhao Chen is different from what they drink.

Fragrant and elegant, slightly bitter in the mouth, and slightly sweet after entering the throat.

It’s really a new way of making tea.

Wei Zheng also wants to learn this tea-making technique, and he will surely amaze everyone when the time comes.

Zhao Chen looked at the mining documents in front of him.

There are four large seals on it.

Seal from the Ministry of Industry of the Tang Dynasty!

Yin Yin of Chang'an Prefecture!

Chang'an County Magistrate's Seal!

Lantian County Magistrate Seal!

Sure enough, it's good if he has some connections. If he goes to get these four seals by himself, let alone whether they can be sealed or not.

Even if it can be built, it won't take more than half a year, so don't even think about it.

Huang Shang is indeed well-connected.

Perhaps, there is a shadow of a pilgrim behind this!

Zhao Chen thought to himself.

Old Wei, let me ask you a question, and you must answer it truthfully! Zhao Chen suddenly wanted to ask about Old Li Tou's identity.

Seeing Wei Zheng here, he spoke.

Lao Wei is Lao Li Tou's housekeeper, so he naturally knows Lao Li Tou's identity.

Well, you ask. Wei Zheng was sipping tea, still thinking about learning the art of making tea.

Let me ask you, isn't Old Li Tou a pilgrim? Zhao Chen asked casually.
