Although Bai Shijie and Bai Shijun are the eldest and the fifth, in fact, among the Bai brothers, the two are the same mother.

Bai Shijie and Bai Shijun's mother died early, Bai Shijun has a good temperament, although he is the eldest son of the long house, he was almost taken away from the position of heir by other brothers, relying on Bai Shijie's full help, he can sit and sit firmly in the position of the head of the family, saying that this younger brother is his backbone, it is not bad at all.

Bai Shijie patted the eldest brother's hand and helped the eldest brother to walk towards the Zhuangzi.

When everyone returned to Zhuangzi, Bai Shijun couldn't wait to pull Bai Shijie to his study, waved his subordinates away, took Bai Shijie's hand and asked, "Fifth brother, what you said in your letter, do you have eyebrows?" ”

Bai Shijie patted his eldest brother's hand, pulled him to sit down, and paced back and forth in the study for a few more steps, and then said slowly: "This thing is not easy to do......"

Seeing that the eldest brother was about to get excited again, Bai Shijie waved his hand, asked him to sit down and calm down for a while, and said: "Although I have gone through the road of the commander of the soldiers and horses on the east and west roads of the mountain, first, the other party's asking price is extremely high, and second, even if he is the commander of the soldiers and horses, he can't move the army without permission, and the other party can only send two or three thousand elites to come at most......"

Bai Shijun was shocked when he heard this: "So little! This...... I'm afraid that's not enough! ”

Bai Shijie nodded and said: "That Liu Erzu can crisscross southwest Lu for so many years, on the one hand, he is cautious and never angers the court, on the other hand, it is also this person who has a lot of strength in his hands, six years ago, the former Dongping Mansion Yin and Shanshan East and West Road Soldiers and Horses were bought by several powerful families in southwest Lu who suffered from Liu Erzu, and the army was encircled and suppressed, and he was disgraced by this person, and even lost his officials, which shows that the power in the hands of this Liu Erzu cannot be underestimated, but this person poured out of the nest, but was wiped out by Chen Xian. I'm afraid it's two or three thousand soldiers and horses, and it's hard to help him. ”

After listening to Bai Shijie's analysis, Bai Shijie stomped his feet anxiously, and said: "How is this good!" ”

Bai Shijie stroked the eldest brother's back and comforted: "Big brother, don't worry, Liu Erzu's defeat, defeat is that he doesn't know the enemy and rushes forward, as long as we calm down, find out the news, know ourselves and know the enemy, and then find a way to lure the snake out of the hole, it is not without a chance to win." ”

Bai Shijun felt a little relieved when he heard this, and said: "I have sent someone to contact Bai Bingwen, the son of Dongzhuangzi, according to what you said in your letter, fifth brother, and the other party has promised to find out the news for us...... Oh, according to your orders, I have people compile all the information about Chen Xian into a book......"

Speaking of this, Bai Shijun took out a stack of books from the bookshelf behind him, handed it to Bai Shijie, and said: "According to your requirements, no matter how big or small, as long as it is related to Chen Xian's loss, it is all recorded." ”

Bai Shijie took the booklet, put it on the desk, and said to Bai Shijun: "Big brother, go and rest, don't panic, I went to Fucheng this time, and I intended to make friends with all the fierce soldiers and horses under the command of the general manager, and found that there was a general among them, who knew the art of war, if I could invite him, I would be able to do it." ”

Bai Shijun stood up, took Bai Shijie's hand and said: "The fifth brother let it go, I and the other two families of Xizhuangzi, and the two families of Tangjiazhuang have already discussed, this time the coffins of the five families have all been taken out, and they can make up fifty or sixty thousand yuan of wealth and goods, although the fifth brother takes it to spend, as long as this field and this Zhuangzi can be kept, the money can be gathered again......"

Bai Shijie patted his eldest brother's hand and said happily: "This is very good, although the general manager of Wanyan Chengzong has a big appetite, he doesn't need 50,000 guan, only 30,000 guan can feed him, and the remaining 20,000 guan is enough to buy off the proud soldiers under his command." ”

After saying goodbye to his eldest brother, Bai Shijie took the booklet and returned to his own courtyard in Baifuzhong.

Bai Shijun reserved the best courtyard in the Bai Mansion for his younger brother, and the people in the courtyard were all available, ensuring that when Bai Shijun came back, there would be someone to serve him and he could live comfortably.

Back in his study, Bai Shijie asked people to make tea soup, and then sat at the desk and read the booklet carefully.

After a while, Bai Shijie put down the booklet, stood up, paced back and forth in the room twice, returned to the table, reached out and pressed the booklet, and sighed in a low voice: "Real person Jieye!" ”

Bai Shijie is well-informed and knows that the most difficult thing in the world is to start from scratch, this Chen Xian started from scratch, in just over two years, he is already a powerful man with thousands of people, and his prosperity is so fast.

What's even more terrifying is that this Chen Xian has risen rapidly, but he can keep his subordinates running a drip, which can be seen from the fact that the news in this booklet is all peripheral news, and the poor internal news is pitiful.

In this regard, Bai Shijie didn't know how to express it, and even had an unspeakable fear.

After being stunned for a moment, Bai Shijie sat down again, and then flipped through the booklet.

This night, Bai Shijie has been seeing late at night, several volumes of books, he flipped through them several times, this night, Bai Shijie lost his temper with the new lady who came to persuade him to rest.

In the second half of the night, there was a burst of laughter in Bai Shijie's study, "Hahahaha......"

The person who woke up outside the door hurriedly pushed the door to check, but saw Bai Shijie laughing loudly.

Bai Shijie was so excited, naturally he finally found Chen Xian's flaws.

Grain!

Grain business, to be exact!

From the business dealings between the Bai family and Chen Xian, Bai Shijie found that Chen Xian had been continuously eating food.

In response to this, Bai Shijie gradually analyzed his eyebrows from the messy intelligence.

In the past year or so, Chen Xian has absorbed a lot of foreign population, and Dongzhuangzi has such a large piece of land, and he has to feed more than 4,000 people in Dongzhuangzi, and there is not much surplus food in itself, and Chen Xian has absorbed a large number of people from outside, which will inevitably lead to insufficient food in Dongzhuangzi.

Therefore, one of the goods that Chen Xianwai purchased the most was grain.

Grain is Chen Xian's seven inches, as long as you pinch these seven inches, you won't have to worry about not being able to lure the snake out of the hole.

As long as you can get this snake out of the hole according to your wishes, then there is a lot to do, and this thing is promising!

Thinking of this, Bai Shijie excitedly paced back and forth in the study, with words in his mouth.

After walking a few laps, Bai Shijie threw himself in front of the desk again and quickly rummaged through the materials.

Soon, around the food, a set of plans gradually took shape in Bai Shijie's mind......

……

Chen Xian didn't know that in Xizhuangzi, more than ten miles away, he had a pair of poisonous eyes, and he had already seen through his weaknesses, and planned to weave a noose according to his weakness and quietly put it around his neck......

Just when Bai Shijie was sleepless all night flipping through the intelligence information, Chen Xian was also staying up late.

After the production of ether, Chen Xian began to consider the further development and utilization of sulfuric acid, after all, as a drug, the amount of ether is very small, and it cannot consume the output of a sulfuric acid production line.

Chen Xian tried to conceive and design a production line for the production of sodium carbonate and sodium hydroxide using sulfuric acid and salt based on the information of online writers.

That night, he sketched late into the night......
