I was a prince in ancient times

"Sell popsicles, sell popsicles~"

The time has entered September, and the weather in the imperial capital is still hot. I don’t know when it started. In the streets and alleys of the imperial capital, there are always a group of children wearing dark blue long clothes, carrying wooden boxes on their shoulders, and shouting the new term popsicles. .

They are clean from head to toe, with enthusiastic smiles on their faces, making passers-by stop.

"Child, what is this popsicle?"

Strong curiosity still made passers-by unable to resist asking.

"Uncle, it's made of ice to cool off the summer heat. It costs two yuan a piece. Would you like to buy one and try it?" A seven or eight-year-old child heard someone questioning him, so he hurriedly stopped and opened his wooden box slightly. , Uncover the thick cotton wool wrapped inside, and show it to the questioning guest.

"Hey, it's really ice." As soon as the wooden box was opened, a stream of white gas came out in the hot weather. In the small wooden box, there were neatly placed dozens of ice cubes that had been frozen with wooden sticks. ice cubes.

The size is about the size of a palm, and it costs two cents a piece, which is very cost-effective. After all, a bowl of herbal tea on the street costs a penny, so this popsicle is much more cost-effective than that herbal tea.

"Let's have a try." Facing the child's hopeful gaze, the man finally took out two coins from his pocket.

The child was very courteous, and did not directly take the popsicles in the wooden box with his hands, but held a clean handkerchief and twisted the end of the wooden sticks and handed them to the guests.

"It's hot, and the popsicles are easy to melt. Please eat them as soon as possible." After the child sold the popsicles, he did not leave, but silently watched the guests, waiting for his next move.

As soon as the ice-cold popsicle was in his hands, even though he was only holding the wooden stick, the man felt that the heat in his palms had gone a lot. He smiled at the child and took a bite of the popsicle. Suddenly, the cold feeling spread from the top of his head to the The soles of the feet are refreshingly cool.

"Hey, it still smells sweet." After the ice melted, there was still a faint sweet smell between the lips and teeth, which made the guest couldn't help smiling, and shouted, "These two pennies are not in vain. "

"Thank you for your appreciation." The popsicle seller saluted this person, and then he was ready to leave with satisfaction.

"Son, don't go, just give me one too."

He was about to leave, but the other pedestrians who were aroused by curiosity were not happy.

The child had no choice but to stop and sell things to other customers one by one.

"Ding Yu, good."

Lu Chengjie and Lu Chuyi stood not far away, witnessed all this in silence, wrote down the child's name in the record book, and turned to other directions.

Now the school building accommodates more than 30 beggar children. Apart from reading and literacy, they will come out to help Lu Chengjie sell popsicles every day.

Lu Chengjie promised that for every ten pieces sold, they would get a penny for themselves.

During this period, he will also examine their hard work and character.

After a round of investigation, except for two children who were playing smart, stealing, rape, and slipping, they were beaten, and everything else was fine.

"These two children will be educated later, and if they refuse to correct after repeated admonitions, then they should give up." Lu Chengjie glanced at Lu Chuyi's booklet, and clicked on the child with the brightly written bad characters on it.

Lu Chu nodded in agreement, and took out a juan handkerchief from his arms to wipe the sweat from his forehead, exhaled a breath of stale air, and looked enviously at Lu Chengjiao who was not sweating at all.

"Let's go, I'm going back." Lu Chengjia didn't seem to realize it, and he didn't want to stay outside for a long time after finishing his work, so it's better to go back home earlier.

"Yeah." Lu Chuyi missed the ice cubes in the palace and hurriedly followed.

Both of them are big men, and they don't have that ostentation when they go out of the house. They wear ordinary clothes and walk on the street. As long as they don't shout, no one will know that he is Princess Chen.

"Seventh sibling... bah bah bah."

In the private room on the second floor of Donglai Restaurant, Xie Guanchao was chatting with several other brothers, when he suddenly saw Lu Chengjiao below, he got anxious and said the wrong name.

"Seventh brother-in-law..." He rolled his tongue and called out again.

However, Lu Chengke below didn't seem to hear it, and just walked forward quickly.

Xie Guanchao showed embarrassment, and had no choice but to call out again, "Princess Chen!"

With his roar, the noisy street froze for a moment.

Only then did Lu Chengjie raise his head belatedly, seeing Xie Guanchao waving at him, he was slightly taken aback, and then came towards Donglai Restaurant.

Xie Guanchao saw Lu Chengjia approaching, his handsome face was full of complacency, and Xie Qiongxi and Xie Guangchi on the opposite side showed off, "I have to say, the seventh brother and the seventh brother-in-law are generous, and the saddle I will give it to my business, and your fifth sister-in-law helped me calculate the income for the past few months at home, and there is a full 1 taels to 1 taels of silver every month!"

Xie Anlan gave him this business at the beginning of July, and he has earned 3 taels in March.

What is the concept of 3 taels?

As far as the output of his fief is concerned, he only earns about tens of thousands of taels of silver a year.

3 taels can offset his tax for three years.

Now the two husband and wife are sleeping at home with silver in their arms every day.

Xie Guanchao has even added a hobby. From time to time, he invites other brothers to this Donglai restaurant to show off to them.

Xie Guangchi and Xie Qiongxi who were sitting across from each other gritted their teeth a little bit angrily at Xie Guanchao's despicable appearance.

"Fifth brother, your fourth sister-in-law's book is finished. I came out to buy books for her, so I won't chatter with you." Xie Guangchi was a bit cowardly by nature, and he couldn't say anything harsh. up.

Xie Guanchao was only halfway showing off, so if he is willing to let him go, "Fourth brother, the seventh brother-in-law will be here soon, you just walk away. When the seventh brother-in-law said it when he went back, the seventh brother thought it was you who did not welcome his concubine." .”

"Yes...is it?" Xie Guangchi who heard this thought for a while and seemed to be reasonable, and the body that was about to walk when standing up sat back down.

"Fifth brother, don't scare fourth brother. The seventh brother and the seventh brother-in-law have always been very talkative, and they will definitely not care about such trivial matters." Xie Qiongxi sat aside elegantly, frowned, and said displeased.

After hearing Xie Qiongxi's words, Xie Guangchi also felt that it was reasonable, and wanted to stand up and leave again, but out of the corner of his eyes, he saw Lu Chengjie who had already gone up the stairs.

Just sit still.

Just now, Xie Guanchao yelled so loudly that everyone on this street now knew Lu Chengjie.

The shopkeeper of Donglai Restaurant even came out to greet the Princess Chen in person.

Nodding and bowing, he greeted him into the boxes of several princes.

"The prince of Changle, the prince of Beiji, and the prince of Guangling." As soon as Lu Chengjia entered the box, he saluted them one by one.

"We're all in the same family, just call me fourth brother, you don't have to be so out of touch." Xie Guangchi waved his hand to let Lu Chengjie put down his politeness.

The other two also nodded in unison.

"Then I won't be polite with the fourth brother, the fifth brother, and the sixth brother." Lu Chengjia was not a hypocritical person, after hearing what they said, he found an empty seat and sat down.

"That's right, why not be polite." Xie Guanchao nodded in satisfaction, then turned to the shopkeeper who was welcoming Lu and the boat upstairs, "Bring up all the good wine and food in your shop, you can't neglect it Princess Chen."

"Yes, yes, yes." The shopkeeper responded again and again, laughed a few times, and then went downstairs lightly, and went to the back kitchen to make some arrangements.

"Fifth brother, there's no need, I just came out after eating from the mansion." Lu Chengjie smiled and refused intentionally.

"It's your business if you eat, it's my business whether you invite me when you come, don't be polite to Brother Wu here." Xie Guanchao didn't follow him, and didn't take the wine pot, but the teapot Pour him a cup of tea.

Lu Chengjie couldn't shirk it, so he took the teacup and thanked him, "Thank you Fifth Brother."

"Thank you," Xie Guanchao shook his head, picked up the chopsticks again, and said while eating peanuts, "It should be Brother Wu thanking you. Thanks to the business you gave me, Brother Fifth, I now have Such a carefree life."

As he said that, he took another sip of wine happily, and squinted his eyes slightly, "You don't know that your fifth sister-in-law is too petty and doesn't see good in others. In the past, she never gave me more money and asked me to come out and invite my brother Let's eat and drink, now that your fifth brother and I are promising, and your fifth sister-in-law doesn't even dare to give a fart, it's all thanks to the merits of your seventh brother-in-law, who let me exchange a piece of wasteland for today's good life."

Xie Guanchao knew in his heart that the reason why a mere saddle could earn so much money was because Lu Chengjiao's leather prices were low, so he was grateful to him both in and out of words.

Lu Chengjie was holding a teacup and was about to take a sip. Hearing his thanks, he didn't drink it, and it didn't matter if he didn't drink it.

He is one of the few people who knows that there is iron ore under that wasteland.

A poor business is nothing compared to an iron mine.

Xie Anlan asked someone to estimate that such a large mine can be mined for at least a hundred years, and with Yongchao's current purchasing power, it is not a problem to earn several million taels of silver a year.

A business worth 10,000+ taels a year can be exchanged for a business worth several million taels a year.

His Highness will gather people to open the mine in a few days. As soon as the news of Jieshi comes out, the person in front of him who is thanking him now may wish to eat him alive.

The cup of Xie tea in his hand immediately became a hot potato.

"Seventh brother-in-law, drink it. This is the best tribute tea, which is produced on my own land." Xie Guanchao saw that Lu Chengjiao was not drinking from the teacup, and thought that he was not used to drinking tea outside like him. , specifically explained a sentence.

"...Thank you, fifth brother." Lu Chengjia had no choice but to say thank you quietly, and drank the cup of top-quality tribute tea in his hand.

"You're being polite again, aren't you?" Xie Guanchao didn't understand what Lu Chengjia was thanking, and thought he was thanking him for tea, so he had a very happy smile on his face.

"Cough cough, fifth brother, put back your embarrassment, you're shaking fourth brother my eyes." Xie Guangchi couldn't stand Xie Guanchao's shamelessness anymore, and coughed.

"Fourth brother, look at what you said. Fifth brother, I am happy. If I am happy, it means that fourth brother is happy, so I am so happy." Xie Guanchao is not thin-skinned. When Xie Guangchi said it, he was not hurting or itching, but he made an inch of it.

Lu Chengjie couldn't help but sigh with emotion, it's a good thing that His Highness's brothers are all the same shameless, but His Highness is not as proud as he is.

"...Seventh brother-in-law." The two were talking, and Xie Qiongxi, who had been silent all this time, suddenly looked at Lu Chengjiao and smiled warmly at him.

"What's your order, Sixth Brother?" Seeing his smile, and thinking of the same smile he had when taking care of his little daughter-in-law, Lu Chengjie suddenly felt his scalp tingle.

"It's okay." Xie Qiongxi smiled lightly, looking extremely gentle, "I also want to thank you, Linger likes the things that the seventh brother made for Linger last time."

"Sixth brother, you are welcome." Lu Chengke was not very good at dealing with such family situations, and seemed a little cautious.

Xie Qiongxi noticed it, and changed the subject to chat with him, "Seventh brother-in-law, seventh brother is free recently, and there is a lot of wasteland in my Guangling area, if seventh brother doesn't mind..."

He didn't need to explain the following words. Lu Chengjie understood what he meant. Thinking of Xie Anlan's plans to open the mine, he said without thinking, "Your Highness, these days should be quite busy."

"Oh." These words were equivalent to rejection, Xie Qiongxi's gentle eyes darkened, but he still didn't say anything, and smiled encouragingly.

The two people who were talking next to them felt a little tense when they heard the word wasteland, and they had already stopped talking.

Xie Guangchi originally wanted to ask, but when he heard what Lu Chengke said, he was as disappointed as Xie Qiongxi.

On the contrary, Xie Guanchao was stunned for a moment, then laughed again, I don't know whether to smooth things over or persuaded triumphantly, "It's so difficult to make money, and it's not easy for the seventh child. Besides my second brother and me, there are four other people here. One brother, four brothers and four deals, how can you let Lao Qi figure it out in a short while, come, come, drink and eat food, don't think about those things, if you are greedy, just tell me, this Oriental Restaurant Go ahead and name me."

Xie Guangchi cast him a glance, and thought to himself, I just don't want to see you getting complacent, that's why I want to overwhelm you.

But he didn't dare to say that.

Lu Chengjie looked amusing, cleared his throat, and said another word, "But..."

The eyes of Xie Guangchi and Xie Qiongxi, who originally thought there was no hope, lit up again, and they looked at him with hope.

"Cough..." Xie Guanchao couldn't hold back, his chattering words suddenly choked up, and he started coughing.

"However, Your Highness has recently discovered a new species. This thing is called cotton. It can be used for spinning and weaving, and it can also keep warm and cold. It is easier to grow than ramie, and it is better than the clothes made of ramie." Lu Chengjie carefully I told them about the role of cotton, and said with a smile, "If the brothers think it's good, they can try to grow some cotton in their own land next year, and the income will definitely be considerable in a year."

Cotton is better than ramie, but the price is about the same as ramie. The three people in front of me know this alone.

If this cotton is really better than ramie as Lu Chengjia said, cotton will replace ramie as a new type of clothing must-have in the future.

And this kind of clothes is needed by people all over the world, and the demand is not small. The more they grow, the more they earn.

Although they were not as strong as Xie Guanchao Jianxian, they didn't want to take too much advantage of Xie Anlan after all, and they were already content with a way to make money.

"I'm sorry to bother you." Xie Qiongxi raised his wine glass and thanked Lu Chengjie.

Not to be outdone, Xie Guangchi followed suit, "Thank you very much."

Lu Chengjie shook his head and said it was nothing. This was originally His Highness's plan. It just so happened that he met them today and explained it to them first, so that His Highness would not have to take time out of his busy schedule to deal with it alone.

After listening to Xie Guanchao, he felt that he could also grow this cotton, and the saddle business was still his, which meant that he could have more ways to make money. , and even worse.

The three pretended not to see it.

Lu Chengjie was afraid that they would not believe in cotton, so he continued, "If you have time, brothers, you can go to the house to see the cotton. Yicheng sent a lot of cotton a few days ago."

"Could it be that the hundreds of carriages transported cotton last time?" Xie Guangchi was suddenly startled.

Lu Chengjiao, "Exactly."

"My money..." Xie Guangchi thumped his chest quietly.

"What's wrong with fourth brother?" Lu Chengjia was puzzled.

After Xie Guangchi finished beating his chest, his face turned bitter, "That day there was so much movement in your Prince Chen's Mansion, there were people in the market who opened the market, and they were all guessing what Seventh Brother was tossing this time. I suppressed a lot of basic necessities."

He did it because those burlap bags looked a bit like cement bags.

Lu Chengjie couldn't laugh or cry, but he still persuaded him, "Fourth Brother, don't gamble in the future. Look at my Highness, I gambled away the palace in the past."

"Well, I only gambled a few taels of silver, not much." Xie Guangchi nodded with a little distress.

With only a few taels of silver, it's not a good gamble, so Lu Chengjia stopped trying to persuade him.

It happened that the three elder brothers were very interested in cotton, and there was time for this meeting, so they made an appointment to go to Chenwang Mansion to see cotton.

Just as they were walking on the street, the fifth princess and the third princess were looking for them with the sixth princess whose eyes were red and swollen from crying.

Today Xie Guanchao went to Xie Qiongxi's residence to show off to him, and happened to meet Xie Qiongxi and Xie Guangchi together, so he simply took the two of them out for a drink.

The fifth princess was chasing after Xie Guanchao, but she couldn't find anyone at Xie Qiongxi's mansion, but was entangled by Du Ling who woke up from a nap and didn't see Xie Qiongxi.

I had no choice but to take her with me to find someone.

She went to several palaces, but couldn't find them. She was too busy to find someone and coax the children by herself. Fortunately, the third princess came with her.

"Where did this Xie Guanchao die?" Fifth Princess sat in the carriage, sweating profusely from looking for someone, and got angry with anxiety.

The third concubine had just comforted Du Ling. Seeing her getting angry, she persuaded her, "Fifth brother and sister, don't worry. Maybe the fifth brother will be drinking flower wine in that brothel. It's fine, don't worry."

The fifth princess choked, she would only be worried if someone was in the brothel.

Du Ling glanced weakly at the third concubine, and sighed cautiously in her heart, the third sister-in-law really had a knife in her mouth, and she stabbed fifth sister-in-law in the heart.

"And you, don't cry too." After being sized up by Du Ling, the third concubine moved her red lips and comforted, "Maybe the sixth brother is squatting on that street corner picking up dolls again, isn't he the one who picked you up? Don't panic."

"Wow……"

Du Ling, who had stopped crying, couldn't hold back her eyes and dropped them again. These words were more painful than killing her.

"Oh, why are you crying again? Sixth brother picking up dolls is better than fifth brother drinking flower wine. As long as you are more beautiful than the newly picked up doll, the position of sixth princess will still be yours. Don't be afraid, third sister-in-law Backing you up, I will stuff a few more dolls for the sixth younger brother, so that the sixth younger brother will not spoil the newly picked one, and make her mad." The third concubine didn't know why Du Ling was crying, and said a good word.

Du Ling wanted to cry and faint.

"Third sister-in-law, you better stop talking." The fifth concubine, one head and two big, was holding back her anger and was stabbed by the third concubine again. Du Ling was still crying, she was so irritable.

Even though she knew that the third sister-in-law broke her brain a few years ago to save the third brother, and she couldn't speak clearly, but every time she listened to her words, she still felt so angry that she went to heaven.

"I can't say it, look at the two of you, one is crying like a bitter woman, and the other is impatient like a shrew. If I don't say it, can you calm down?" The third princess didn't realize what she said, and frowned. His brows were filled with righteous indignation.

The fifth concubine was going to explode with anger, and she regretted dragging the third concubine all the way. Isn't this nothing to find anger for herself.

While muttering in his heart, not to get angry with the idiot, he urged the driver, "Hurry up the idiot..."

"Pooh……"

She lost her temper, and said again hastily, "Hurry up and get rid of the idiot!"

"Ah..." The fifth princess closed her mouth with two words.

Flying all the way, they searched all the places Xie Guanchao could go, and finally learned from the shopkeeper of Donglai Restaurant that they went to Chenwang Mansion.

The three of them went all the way to Prince Chen's mansion.

At this moment, Lu Chengjie was leading the three of them to look at cotton in the warehouse.

The three of them were very satisfied after looking at the newly made cotton padded clothes and cotton threads.

"This cotton is actually warmer than silk. With this product, I believe that in the future, the people of the world will not have to suffer from the cold winter." After Xie Guanchao finished speaking, he added from the bottom of his heart, of course, they will also make more money.

"Fifth brother is right." Xie Guangchi nodded in agreement.

Seeing the cotton, Xie Qiongxi's Wenrun's eyes lit up, and with a thought, he asked Lu Chengjiao, "I wonder if the seventh brother-in-law can give me some cotton. The seventh brother made a lot of cotton for Ling'er a while ago." The doll, she thinks it is not soft enough, I think it would be good to fill it with these cottons."

"Okay, I'll ask the storeroom to fill the sixth brother with some more later." Lu Chengjia didn't even think about agreeing, and he didn't neglect the other two, "Should the fourth brother and the fifth brother take it back by themselves, or let Chengjia do it for them?" Send you to the house."

The two had no objection, "Just look at the arrangement."

Lu Chengjie nodded, which reminded him that he would also send some cotton to the other brothers.

After Cotton finished reading, Lu Chengjie was sending them out of the house.

Xie Anlan happened to come out of the study, saw his back, and stopped him, "Jia, can you help me recruit more skilled absentees, the Beijina iron mine is really too big, and I don't have enough manpower here... "

Before Xie Anlan finished speaking, she saw three people standing beside Lu Chengjie, and her voice stopped.

"Fourth brother, fifth brother, sixth brother, why are you here?" Xie Anlan was a little surprised, his brothers never came to his door easily, and there were no outsiders in the mansion on weekdays, so he and Lu Chengjie There are not so many taboos to speak.

Xie Qiongxi narrowed his eyes and said warmly, "Come and see Cotton."

Xie Guangchi nodded in agreement.

Xie Guanchao's reaction was a bit slow, "Iron ore? What iron ore? Do I have iron ore in Beiji?"

After asking three questions in a row, Xie Anlan smiled at him with an unprecedented warm smile, "You didn't give this to Fifth Brother yourself, and speaking of it, I have to thank you, Fifth Brother."

Xie Guanchao was a little confused, when did he give Xie Anlan the iron mine?

After a pause, he realized that Xie Anlan was talking about his wasteland! ! !

Xie Guanchao was petrified immediately, with various cracks appearing on his face, he couldn't believe what he heard.

"Xie Guanchao, you have done a good job. Do you know that you gave away our iron ore to someone else for nothing, and changed it to a small business that can only earn 10,000+ taels a year!" The fifth princess came over with anger all the way. It will be seen that Xie Guanchao can't hold back and explodes.

She was so sour, sour sour.

"You... how do you know?" Xie Guanchao hadn't recovered from the shock of Xie Anlan's words, and was violently attacked by his princess again, looking at her in horror.

"How do I know? There was a lot of quarreling in the court today because of this matter. My father pointed at me and scolded me when he came down from the court. What else do you know besides spending time and drinking?" The fifth princess was about to cry angrily. up.

Iron ore, that's iron ore, it was her family's iron mine, and now it has become someone else's!

"I'll take it easy, I'll take it easy, you let me take it easy." Xie Guanchao covered his chest and sat on the ground, obviously not yet recollecting the fact of how the wasteland turned into iron ore.

Lu Chengjiao quietly hid behind Xie Anlan, and whispered, "Today Brother Wu is still thanking me at Donglai Restaurant, now..."

East?

Xie Anlan frowned, the purple air came from the east, it was Xie Cangming again.

The author has something to say: recommend Jiyou Wenwen:

"Farming in the Heartthrob Shura Field [Transmigration Book]" by Yun Chutang

Yunluo crossed over and became the cannon fodder brother who opposed the heartthrob brother in an interstellar novel.

Facing the displeasure of the whole family, the pitiful and heartthrob younger brother, the disgust of the people of the entire Emperor Star...

Yunluo just wanted to say: "Go away, a hairless animal is not worthy of approaching me."

After offending his heart-throb brother, he was dispatched to a remote and barren planet. Yunluo raised his eyebrows and accepted it readily, deciding to return to his old profession here - farming.

The ferociously mutated plants became extremely docile through his hands, and they were willing to give him fruits.

The inedible strange beasts full of violent energy have been transformed into delicacies containing spiritual power through his hands.

The surly and fierce orc has also become a docile and cute fluffy under his hands.

Slowly, this barren planet was transformed by him into an interstellar paradise with immeasurable value.

Just when everything was going in the right direction, his fluffy and cute silver kitten transformed into a domineering and surly man.

Yunluo narrowed his eyes: "Who are you?"

The youngest emperor of the empire: "...I am your cutie?"

Yunluo: "Go away, my little cutie only has fur!"
