Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Chen Family's Business

After Bai Tu said goodbye to Liu Bei, he wanted to go back to Xiaopei first, and chose the opportunity to cross the river secretly with Lu Bu, Chen Gong, and a small number of henchmen and guards - Bai Tu didn't even tell Liu Bei about the specific itinerary.

However, when he was about to leave the city, he was stopped by an old man.

"Isn't Mr. Bai disgusted with the simplicity of the Chen Mansion? Didn't you say last time that you would come and sit for a while in your spare time? โ€

That's right, the person who came was Chen Gui, the old fox of Xuzhou!

"It turned out to be Mr. Chen, who was busy with mundane affairs, but I was worried about your old man." Bai Tu said politely.

At the same time, I also muttered in my heart, what does this old fox want to do? Wasn't it just a polite sentence before, but as for this time, you came to invite me?

"The Chen Mansion has prepared a banquet, can Mr. Bai enjoy his face?" Chen Gui explicitly invited.

"This ......"

"The paper created by Mr. Bai is really a social artifact, and more importantly, Mr. Bai can still be so humble and not broomless, and the Chen family also has a few paper mills, I wonder if I can ask Mr. Bai for advice?" Chen Gui said.

Believe you ghost - Bai Tu instinctively suspects that this old guy is not for paper matters, but just an excuse on the surface.

However, Chen Guidu has already said so, and Bai Tu is also curious to take a look, in short, Chen Gui will not be unfavorable to himself now.

Whether in history or romance, Chen Gui is a hardcore Cao Cao fan, or ...... His vision is worthy of his age, and he sees that Cao Cao has a bright future.

When Tao Qian was there, Chen Gui did not exert his strength, the benevolent Liu Bei failed to make him sympathetic, and the brave Lu Bu failed to break his heart, even if Yuan Shu, who had a friendship with him, took the initiative to invite him, Chen Gui only regarded him as a waste......

As soon as Cao Cao came, Chen Gui immediately joined forces with his son Chen Deng to package Lu Bu and Xuzhou as a gift for promotion!

In history, Chen Gui is not an ordinary wallgrass, when dealing with Tao Qian, Lu Bu, and Liu Bei, Chen Gui is just an ordinary person who does not communicate with each other and does not resist, and just wants to be alone.

However, when Lu Bu and Yuan Shu wanted to marry, Chen Gui immediately realized that the union of the two posed a threat to Cao Cao, so he changed his previous Mingzhe to protect himself and took the initiative to instigate him......

It can be seen that this old guy seems to be cunning, but in fact he is decisive!

As he said, Chen Gui just discussed the papermaking workshop with Bai Tu, and Bai Tu only did not know some key points of improving papermaking technology at the beginning, and told Chen Gui all the key points - anyway, this is what Bai Tu was supposed to make public.

However, after that, Chen Gui still dragged him to continue the banquet, and only when Bai Tu was about to get impatient Chen Gui spoke: "Mr. Bai will be called 'Bai Envoy Jun' and 'Bai Gong' in the future, don't be so impatient." โ€

"Yes, yes, I have to learn more from you." Bai Tu echoed.

It was only after the fact that Bai Tu pondered it, and the meaning of Chen Gui's words was clearly that after he recognized Lu Bu as his father-in-law, he actually completed the transformation from a celebrity, a strategist, to a real "lord"!

After all, Taishou itself can also be honored as "envoy", and Bai Tu was Peijun Taishou before, and in terms of actual power...... He, the pastor of Yangzhou, is not older than Peijun Taishou, but Chen Gui thinks that now he can be called "Envoy", which is full of deep meaning - this guy's eyesight, tsk.

"There's nothing to learn from me, an old man, but ...... The old man has a 'business' that he can talk to about with Bai Envoy. Chen Gui said.

"Is it a paper mill? The figure did not think about making a profit on the basis of paper. Bai Tu said.

"No, it's a business to go south." Chen Gui said.

"Caoyun?" Bai Tu wondered.

Can the Chen family still do the Caoyun business now? Guangling County in Xuzhou has been lost, and it is said that there is no port next to the Yangtze River......

At the same time, Bai Tu was also puzzled, what does this business say to himself?

"This ...... Although the picture is Yangzhou Mu, I don't know when I can really appease Yangzhou, this business is better than waiting for ......"

"No, that's what this business is doing now! The Chen family wants to go to Jiangdong with a batch of goods, and they don't know what is the most profitable after thinking about it, and now they want to come...... Why don't you go on a thousand rides? Chen Guiming said.

Bai Tu immediately understood what Chen Gui meantโ€”he was going to help him transport troops to Jiangdong!

Now that the land of Jianghuai is all in Yuan Shu, and if he wants to transport troops from Xuzhou to Jiangdong on a large scale, Bai Tu and Chen Gong already think that it is impossible, even if Liu Bei helps him, he will not be able to open this road.

But now Chen Gyu says he can......

Bai Tu thought about it carefully, and didn't think that Chen Gui was bragging, after all, the Chen family, as the top family in Xuzhou, was also influential in Huainan before, even if Guangling County was no longer under the control of Xuzhou Mu now, but this business was originally not a channel for the imperial court, so even if the city head changed the Great King Banner, the Chen family's "Dao Dao" would not be invalid so soon!

There should be a lot of families who have been doing Caoyun business privately in recent years, the Chen family...... It should be considered a relatively large scale.

Of course, it is impossible to really want to transport five thousand iron horses over, and the limit of the Chen family is - one thousand horses!

Bai Tu also thought about whether Chen Gui wanted to yin himself, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was impossible.

The Chen family is now in Pengcheng, how far is it from Xiaopei? If something happens to Bai Tu and Lu Bu, isn't Zhang Liao and Gao Shun still coming?

Besides, if Bai Tu was really yin by him, Liu Bei couldn't bear it!

Will he make fun of his whole family?

However, Bai Tu was still puzzled: "Mr. Chen, Gao Yi! It's just that...... How can he be so helpful? โ€

This is not a favor, after helping Bai Tu this time, the Chen family's business route will be considered useless!

Before, whether it was Guangling or Wu County, the princes could not fully control the place, and caravans like the Chen family naturally had a good relationship.

But with the help of Baitu Divine Soldier falling from the sky, Chen Jiabacheng is about to enter the "blacklist".

Could it be that Chen Gui saw that I had the spirit of a king, and was ready to take off Cao Cao and come to fan me? - Bai Tu had a fantasy in his heart.

"It's just a matter of raising your hands, and then we'll talk about it...... Bai Envoy Jun went here and mixed up with Yuan Shu...... That villain, when there is a fight, the old man can be regarded as doing his best, hoping that when he returns to Shouchun, he can rescue my son Chen Ying, who was detained by the villain. Chen Gui was rarely a little resentful, and almost said dirty words to Yuan Shu.

Bai Tu also remembered that in Yuan Shu's previous fancy operation, there was also a case of wanting to recruit Chen Gui to work for him, but after Chen Gui did not obey, he actually detained his second son Chen Ying and forced Chen Gui to comply...... But Chen Gui still didn't pay attention to him!

It looks like this has already happened......

Chen Gui is also very annoyed by Yuan Shu now, and more importantly, the Chen family has indeed been targeted by Yuan Shu, and those joints that have been opened in Guangling and Jiangdong may turn against them at some point, so it is better to do Bai Tu a favor before it expires!

The first is to get better than Baitu, the second is to make some trouble for Yuan Shu, and the third is to ...... It is also to retain a hope to save Chen Ying.

Bai Tu didn't dare to agree too much, but promised that as long as he had the opportunity in the future, he would definitely rescue Chen Ying, and at the same time agreed with Chen Gui to rush to Jiangdong!
