From eunuch to emperor

Chapter 388 It's All Business

Yanmen Pass.

A man in common clothes entered a room, and Long Chen was in the room to settle accounts.

"General Dragon."

"Shopkeeper Chen, please sit down."

Long Chen smiled and poured a cup of tea for the man.

This person is Chen Dong from the Tianxiahui, and Hong Qi asked him to be responsible for the transportation of grain, grass and supplies.

During this period of time, Chen Dong was very conscientious, there was never any shortage of food and grass, and the transportation of weapons was also timely.

"These days there is Lao Chen's shopkeeper, and we need a lot of weapons and supplies."

Chen Dong got up to take the tea, and said, "Don't dare to do it, it's all a matter of duty."

Long Chen smiled, and said: "We have discovered a problem these days, many of the knives and arrows used by the barbarians were purchased from the Central Plains, does shopkeeper Chen know who sold them?"

Chen Dong was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "I don't know, 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."

"Business is nothing more than two: supply and demand, these two determine the value of goods in the world."

Chen Dong was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "General Long is also proficient in business?"

In two simple sentences, Long Chen explained the world's business thoroughly.

"I don't understand, it's just nonsense."

Long Chen took a sip of tea, and said, "Anything in the world can be a deal, what does Shopkeeper Chen think?"

Chen Dong agrees: "It only depends on the price, as long as the price is enough, anything can be bought and sold."

Long Chen nodded, and said: "I want to buy something from Shopkeeper Chen."

Chen Dong smiled and said, "If it's news from the barbarians, I'm afraid I can't do anything about it. The landlord has ordered you not to intervene in the war."

Tianxiahui will take a cold-eyed attitude this time, and will not help each other, but only make some money from it.

Long Chen smiled and said: "I know this, and I don't make things difficult for shopkeeper Chen, but there are so many people in Tianxiahui, someone will know, it has nothing to do with shopkeeper Chen."

As he spoke, Long Chen stretched out two fingers and waved them in front of Chen Dong.

Chen Dong smiled, shook his head and said: "The subordinates are the subordinates, the younger ones dare not."

Long Chen smiled, and said: "I, Long, have never been stingy in doing things, I'm talking about millions."

Chen Dong was stunned... He thought Long Chen would only give [-] taels of silver, but he didn't expect it to be a million taels.

200 million silver, he, Chen Dong, would not be able to earn even if he worked for the Tianxiahui for two lifetimes.

If it were someone else, Chen Dong would just take it as a joke, but Long Chen was in charge of the business of Eastern Zhou and Tianxiahui, and Chen Dong was very clear about the profits, and Long Chen could afford it.

"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 on the grassland in the world, it's not normal to leak their whereabouts. We will also send out waiting horses to investigate."

After defeating Yeluhong, Long Chen has been resting at Yanmen Pass. The next battle needs to go deep into the grassland and desert, so he must be fully prepared.

There is also the news of waiting to ride. More than 100 people were sent out to wait for riding, but they have not returned yet.

When the people of the Central Plains fight, they attack cities and land. It is very clear which place to attack and which piece of land to attack.

The barbarians did not have a fixed city, so they had to find Yeluhong before they could fight decisively.

Therefore, finding the traces of the barbarians became the most important thing.

Long Chen's money was not given for nothing.

Chen Dong thought for a while, then said in a low voice: "Okay, this deal...I'll do it!"

Long Chen pointed to a box on the ground and said with a smile: "This is the deposit!"

Chen Dong couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, and said: "The general is laughing."

After finishing speaking, Chen Dong opened the box on the ground, which was full of gold bars, and it was pure gold.

"I've heard that General Long does things in a grand manner, and I've seen it."

"It's easy to say. We have always had contacts with the barbarians. They need a lot of tea, salt and iron. We are supplying them. We know where he is."

In the end, I still bowed to money.

The world gathers people with wealth, and everyone is interested in money, so Long Chen used money to buy it off, just for what he likes.

"I don't know what shopkeeper Chen is talking about. We are just reconciling accounts today."

Long Chen smiled, and Chen Dong immediately said with a smile: "Yes, we are only checking the accounts today, nothing else."

After reconciling the accounts, both 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 the residence, and saw that the door of Di Lingyi's room was ajar.

A faint fragrance wafted out from the room, Long Chen pushed the door in and saw Di Lingyi smearing his body with beauty cream.

"The princess also uses this?"

Long Chen smiled and stood behind him.

When Long Chen appeared suddenly, Di Lingyi was taken aback. He quickly grabbed the black embroidered pajamas and covered his chest, and said, "Why are you walking so silently? People are...you go out..."

Long Chen looked down from above, his body was as white as snow, the curves of his back and front, together with God Lingyi's slightly angry expression, were extremely alluring.

"We've all taken a bath together, so there's nothing to be embarrassed about."

Saying that, Long Chen took the beauty cream, squeezed it in his hand, then rubbed it evenly, and regardless of Di Lingyi's resistance, he applied it from the neck down.

"No touching here...not here...you take advantage of me..."

Long Chen smeared all over with his hands, Di Lingyi wanted to cover his front with his clothes, there was no way to stop him in time.

"The princess is right. I'll help you apply the beauty cream. How can I take advantage of you?"

After finishing applying the beauty cream, Long Chen sat on the bed.

Di Lingyi likes black clothes, but she likes pink in the room. The bed sheets, quilt covers and pillows are all pink.

"Princess girly heart, so pink... same body as yours."

Long Chen was grinning, Di 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 a rascal and lustful, It's true! Believe it or not, sister will clean you up!"

Long Chen pinched his ankle, looked up clearly, and said with a smile: "Princess, are you only wearing pajamas and no pants?"

Di Lingyi hurriedly covered her pajamas and cursed, "Get lost, dead eunuch!"

Long Chen got up with a grin, and went back to the room to rest contentedly.

...

Shuaifu.

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.

Sitting next to Long Chen, Di Lingyi had a weird expression on his face, staring at Long Chen from time to time, as if he was holding back something.

"According to the information sent back by the waiting cavalry, Yeluhong is gathering more troops in Akhbo and wants to go south for revenge."

"But I heard that there was a problem within them. King Zuoxian and King Youxian were controlled by Yeluhong, and the fighters of the two departments had great opinions."

"So, Yeluhong may not go south for the time being, and may even wait until autumn to go south."

After a winter, the cattle, sheep and horses in the grassland are very thin, because there is no grass to eat.

After the summer, when the war horses are full of grass and fattened, they can go south to attack again.

Yeluhong could procrastinate, but Long Chen didn't want to procrastinate, he wanted to take advantage of the weakness of the barbarians to resolve the war in the north as soon as possible.

"Is the general planning to take the initiative?"

Zhang Man asked.

Long Chen nodded and said: "Yes, I plan to take the initiative to attack. After the last battle, the barbarians are already afraid, and there are internal conflicts. If I exert pressure from the outside, it may stir up internal fighting."

The left and right virtuous kings were forcibly controlled by Yeluhong, and the Dan tribe had only [-] warriors, so Yeluhong could not suppress other tribes.

The barbarians are now scattered, with the weakest fighting power, Long Chen wants to seize the opportunity.

"I agree with your lord's idea."

Zhang Qian agreed, and Wu Chuchu and others of course seconded.

"Princess, what do you think?"

Long Chen asked Di Lingyi.
