Chapter 388: It's All Business
Yanmen Pass.
A man in a cloth clothes entered a room, and Long Chen was settled in the room.
"General Long."
"Please sit down by Manager Chen."
Long Chen smiled and poured a cup of tea for the man.
This person is Chen Dong of the World Association, and Hong Qi asked him to be responsible for the transportation of food, supplies and supplies.
During this period, Chen Dong was very dedicated, never lacking food and grass, and his weapons were transported in time.
"At these times, I have worked hard on the shopkeeper Chen, and there are so many weapons and supplies needed."
Chen Dong got up and took the tea, saying, "I dare not take it, it's all my duty."
Long Chen smiled and said, "At these times we found a problem. Many of the swords and arrows used by the barbarians were purchased from Zhongyuan. Does Manager Chen know who sold them?"
Chen Dong was stunned for a moment and laughed: "I don't know this, General Long knows?"
Long Chen smiled and said, "Actually, it's nothing. It's all business. If someone wants to buy it, someone will sell it. This is business."
"Buying and selling are nothing more than two: supply and demand, which determine the value of goods in the world."
Chen Dong was stunned for a moment and said in surprise: "General Long is actually proficient in trading?"
Long Chen said in a few simple words that he explained the world's business thoroughly.
"I don't understand, I'm just talking nonsense."
Long Chen took a sip of tea and said, "Everything in the world can be a business, what does Manager Chen think?"
Chen Dong agreed: "It depends only on the price. As long as the price is sufficient, anything can be bought and sold."
Long Chen nodded and said, "I want to buy something from Manager Chen."
Chen Dong smiled and said, "If it is news from the barbarians, I'm afraid I can't do anything. The poster has given instructions not to interfere in the war."
This time, the World Association took a cold-eyed attitude, and did not help each other, and only made some money from it.
Long Chen smiled and said, "I know this, and I don't make things difficult for Manager Chen. It's just that there are so many people in the World Association, and there are always people who will know it. It has nothing to do with Manager Chen."
As he said that, Long Chen stretched out his two fingers and shook them in front of Chen Dong.
Chen Dong smiled and shook his head and said, "My subordinates are subordinates, so young people dare not."
Long Chen smiled and said, "I, Long, never stingy in my work. I'm talking about millions."
Chen Dong was stunned... He thought Long Chen only gave 20,000 silver, but he didn't expect it to be one million taels.
Chen Dong would not make any money for two million yuan in his job for the Tianxiahui for two lifetimes.
If it were someone else, Chen Dong would just think it was a joke, but Long Chen was responsible for the business of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and the World Association. Chen Dong knew very well that Long Chen could afford the money.
"This is a private transaction between you and me, and I will also give money privately, no one will know."
"There are so many people in the world on the grassland. It is not normal for us to reveal our whereabouts. We will also send Houqi to investigate."
After defeating Yelu Hong, Long Chen had been resting at Yanmen Pass. The next battle required deep into the grassland and desert, and he had to be fully prepared.
There is also news about waiting for the ride, and more than 100 waiting rides were sent out, but they have not come back yet.
When the Central Plains fight, they are to capture cities and land. They are very clear about which place to attack and which piece of land they want to capture.
The barbarians have no fixed city, so they must find where Yelu Hong is before they can fight to the decisive battle.
Therefore, finding the traces of the barbarians became the most important thing.
Long Chen’s money was not given in vain.
Chen Dong thought for a while and whispered: "Okay, this deal...I'll do it!"
Long Chen pointed to a box on the ground and smiled, "This is a deposit!"
Chen Dong couldn't help but feel excited and said, "The general is laughing."
After saying that, Chen Dong opened the box on the ground, full of gold bars, and it was full of gold.
"I've heard that General Long is generous in his work, so I've seen it."
"This is easy to say. We have always had contacts with the barbarians. They need a lot of tea, salt and iron. We are all supplying it. We know where he is."
In the end, I bowed to the money.
The world will gather people with wealth, and everyone is interested in money. Long Chen uses money to buy it, which is what he likes.
"I don't know what Manager Chen is talking about. We are just reconciling today."
Long Chen smiled, and Chen Dong immediately smiled and said, "Yes, we are just talking about the accounts today, and there is nothing else."
After getting the accounts in line, Long Chen and Chen Dong signed, and Chen Dong left Yanmen Pass and went back to prepare the next batch of supplies.
After leaving the room, Long Chen returned to his residence and saw that Emperor Lingyi's door was half-closed.
A faint fragrance floated out of the room. Long Chen pushed the door and saw Di Lingyi smearing her body with beauty cream.
"The princess uses this too?"
Long Chen stood behind him with a smile.
Long Chen suddenly appeared, Di Lingyi was startled, and quickly grabbed the black embroidered pajamas and covered her chest, saying, "Why are you walking silently? People are...you go out..."
Long Chen looked down from above and his skin was as white as snow. The curves on his back and the curves on his front, coupled with the slightly angry expression of Emperor Lingyi, were extremely tempted.
"We've all taken a shower together, what's there to be embarrassed about?"
As he said that, Long Chen took the beauty cream, squeezed it into his hand, and rubbed it evenly. He didn't care about Di Lingyi's resistance and applied it down her neck.
"Not touching here...or here, either... you take advantage of me..."
Long Chen smeared his hands everywhere, and Di Lingyi wanted to cover the front with his clothes, but he could not stop him in time.
"I'll help you apply beauty cream when the princess says this. Why do I take advantage of you?"
After applying the beauty cream, Long Chen sat on the bed.
Di Lingyi likes black clothes, but the room likes pink, and the bed sheets, quilts, and pillows are all pink.
"Princess girlish heart, so pink... like your body."
Long Chen smiled, Emperor Lingyi quickly put on his clothes, stood in front of Long Chen, overthrew Long Chen, then walked up, stepped on Long Chen's chest, and said angrily: "I heard that you are lustful,"
It’s true! Believe it or not, my sister will deal with you!"
Long Chen pinched his ankle, looked up clearly, and smiled and said, "Princess, are you only wearing pajamas, not pants?"
Emperor Lingyi hurriedly covered her pajamas and cursed: "Get out, die eunuch!"
Long Chen got up with a smile and went back to the room to rest with satisfaction.
....
The Magistrate's Mansion.
Long Chen sat at the head, with a map on the table, surrounded by Zhang Man, Zhang Qian, Dugu Jiali, Gongsun Linglong, and Bai Tingting.
Emperor Lingyi sat next to Long Chen with a strange expression. He glared at Long Chen from time to time, as if he was enduring something.
"Based on the information sent back by Hou Qi, Yelu Hong was gathering more troops in Ahpo and wanted to go south to take revenge."
"But I heard that there was something wrong with them. The Zuo Xianwang and the Youxianwang were controlled by Yelu Hong. The soldiers of the two ministries had great opinions."
"So, Yelu Hong may not go south for the time being, and may even wait until autumn to go south again."
After a winter, the cattle, sheep and horses on the grassland were all thin because there was no grass to eat.
After summer, the war horses eat the grass and gain weight, and then go south to attack.
Yelu Hong can drag it out, but Long Chen doesn't want to drag it out. He wants to take advantage of the weakness of the barbarians to resolve the war in the north as soon as possible.
"Is the general going to take the initiative?"
Zhang Man asked.
Long Chen nodded and said, "Yes, I plan to take the initiative to attack. After the last war, the barbarians were already afraid, and there were internal conflicts. If I put pressure from the outside, it might be able to incite internal struggle."
The wise kings on the left and right were forcibly controlled by Yelu Hong. There were only 30,000 soldiers of the Dan tribe, and Yelu Hong could no longer suppress other tribes.
The barbarians are now in a mess and have the weakest combat power. Long Chen wants to seize the opportunity.
"I agree with the adults' thoughts."
Zhang Qian agreed, and Wu Chuchu and his friends certainly agreed.
"Princess, what do you think?"
Long Chen asked Emperor Lingyi.
