Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 840 If Youzhou’s surname is Chen.
"Looking for help from Donor Chen?"

After hearing these words, Dharma Jian fell silent. He naturally knew the hidden meaning behind these words.

This was a tactful way of telling himself that after this incident, he could try to get in touch with Chen Zhi and try to seek refuge and become an official.

You must know that Nie Daoren's original idea was to defect to Chen Zhi, but due to various reasons, he was stopped by the Buddhism represented by his teacher. After all, what Buddhism pursues is not Nie Daoren's future and destiny, but the opportunity of Nie Daoren's official career. , increase the power of Buddhism, and use the hands of a ruler to allow Buddhism to take root and expand in the north.

However, the situation in this world has changed, and with Wang Jun's attack, the situation in the entire Northland has undergone earth-shaking changes. Now it seems that although Wang Jun's side is attacking suddenly, it is clear that Chen Zhi's side has already anticipated the enemy. Not to mention preparing a response in advance, after this battle, as long as you respond properly, you may be able to gain some advantages in advance.

This is not an ordinary advantage. Using a corner of Daijun to fight against Wang Jun, if we can win in the end...

"Hey, Mr. Nie, do you think Youzhou is going to change hands this time? Should your surname be Chen from now on?"

Before the thought of the Dharma slip could be settled, a slightly older voice rang from the side.

The person who spoke was Cai Yu, one of the two merchants. He also seemed to be 50 years old, with gray temples, and his expression was flustered, but he managed to maintain a little calmness.

In the chaos just now, Duan Jin left decisively. The remaining soldiers were in chaos without their command. Coupled with the immediate threat of pursuers and traps, the soldiers finally collapsed, so that some people fled in order to fight for it. road and start killing each other!

Of course, there are also some middle-level generals who have slowly formed small groups and want to rebuild a command system.

But these situations were no longer important to Nie Daoren and the others, because at the most chaotic moment after Duan Jin left, Nie Daoren persuaded several soldiers to form a team, saying that they wanted to find a way to break out.

Among the many merchants who were held hostage at that time, only two came over on their own initiative and said they wanted to leave together. Cai Yu was one of them. Duan Jin originally took Nie Daoren and the Dharma slips away alone. After the two sides said something, Duan Jin did not treat the master and apprentice preferentially, but ordered someone to send them back, and he left with someone.

In addition to Cai Yu, there is also a merchant accompanying him. This is a young man who does not appear to be more than [-] years old. His name is Xia Chao. .

After listening to Cai Yu's words, Nie Daoren remained silent, but Xia Chao shook his head and said: "This is not a good thing. I hope it doesn't really change like this."

While talking, the soldiers who opened the way in front happened to lead a few people to a relatively remote corner. Under Nie Daoren's command, they breathed a sigh of relief temporarily and found a place to rest.

Now there is chaos all around. It is impossible to distinguish between friend and foe. It is difficult to find a safe place. If you want to escape, you must not only be careful of traps, but also avoid chasing soldiers. The most important thing is to pay attention to the original location. own people——

In addition to the Han tribe, Duan Jin's team also included many Xianbei and a small number of Goguryeo people, many of whom were recruited from captives. The situation was so chaotic that of course he wanted to repeat himself. Friendly soldier Pao Ze became a potential enemy who could stab him in the back.It takes time and effort, and even more energy. You can imagine how difficult this journey is. In order to restore your physical strength and energy, you have to take a break.

As the soldiers stopped, the two merchants also stopped.

At this time, Nie Daoren suddenly came over and asked: "From what you two think, it seems that you don't really want Lord Chen to intervene in the affairs of Youzhou? But as far as I know, Governor Chen is very keen on merchant affairs. There are also many support measures, so in less than a year, Daijun's business has recovered and even grown."

"Yes," Cai Yu sat on the ground, nodded and said, "I admire Chen Fujun's ability. He opened up Daijun's business, and spread Dai Kiln, Chen's paper and other things, even in the mines. We use the channels of the Daijun family to cooperate with merchants like us. In the past six months, my caravan has made a lot of money in Daijun..."

Having said this, a look of sadness appeared on the old man's face, presumably because he remembered that his own fleet had been destroyed in this melee.

The Dharma slips also came over and said somewhat strangely after hearing this: "In that case, why do the two donors seem to dislike the fact that they are in charge?"

"This person is really too ruthless in his search." Xia Chao walked over with a long sword in his hand, "Originally, in other places, at most passing checkpoints collected some money, but when it came to Chen Fujun's territory, he had to be recommended to join. Chamber of Commerce, not to mention such registration and registration, the most valuable Dai kiln ceramics and Chen's white paper in this generation county must be purchased through those families, so records must be kept, how much was bought, how much was transported, and how much was shipped. According to the rules, I offer [-]% of my contribution, what do you think this means?"

"In this way, wouldn't the two benefactors earn less?" Dharma Jane frowned, and came to a conclusion, "How can this last?"

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the two merchants showed a slightly embarrassed look. They were speechless and looked at the Dharma Jane with confusion, not understanding the reason.

In the end, it was his student Nie Daoren who answered his doubts: "Although he offered a [-]% increase, the remaining income will still exceed the previous profits. This is because the ceramics and white paper are both highly sought after in the Middle Kingdom, and they were purchased from Daijun." When sold to Luoyang and Jiangzuo, the price can often be nearly ten times the price. Even if the profit sharing with the Chen family and the Daijun family is removed, as well as the many expenses along the way, the return is still three or four times. Therefore, they do not I will stop coming here.”

Dharma Jian nodded lightly and said: "So that's the case, but the original profit of several times was cut in half at once. It's no wonder that the two donors are worried that if Chen Fujun takes control of Youzhou, he will do this If the law is implemented throughout the state, too many people will be affected." Of course, in the past, he would never have assumed that Chen Zhi controlled Youzhou, but after walking on the battlefield in person, But it gave him this idea.

Xia Chao agreed: "There are still a lot of various outputs in Youzhou, and many of them need to be taken by sea via the east coast to avoid the chaos in Jizhou. We wait in Daijun to transport goods, and sometimes we have to leave through the east coast. If you go, you also have to pay a salary, alas..."

However, these words were heard by Nie Daoren, but he did not comment, but looked thoughtful. This appearance was noticed by Dharma Jane, who was about to ask, Nie Daoren looked around, and urged to go on the road.

"We need to get out of the forest as soon as possible and stay here. The danger is too great. Let's work harder."
