When Ji Han and his men traveled to the Three Kingdoms crew

Chapter 194: Inspiring Generals

"What do you think?"

Looking at everyone, Chen Deng's smile became even brighter. During his stay in later generations, he deeply felt that money and food were of paramount importance. Without money and food, even if the ancestor of the military were resurrected, he would be unable to move forward.

He once discussed with Mi Zhu and finalized a plan to sell exquisite toothbrushes specially for the aristocracy at a low price and to sell medicinal powder at a high price. After all, toothbrushes are easy to imitate and can be used for a long time. How much money can be made?

It would be better to work harder on the medicinal powder. Hua Changshi personally mixed it. What could be more intimidating than this name?
There were quite a few chief secretaries, an even greater number of doctors, and scholars who were well versed in classics were everywhere.

However, Changshi is the only one who has superb medical skills and is well-versed in classics.

Everyone is not stupid. If it were someone else, even if it was prepared by San Gong, they would not be so reassured. As for suspecting Chen Deng of lying?
Not to mention that just now, some of them tried it and immediately felt that their breath was much fresher. Hua Tuo's visit to the Chen Mansion some time ago was known to everyone in the city.

"Not expensive, not expensive, just three thousand coins!"

A scholar stood up and exclaimed.

Chen Deng signaled Zhao Yu with his eyes, as if to say, did you arrange this Yuanda?
Zhao Yu blinked and replied to Chen Deng, It’s not me.

This shout caused a huge uproar, and many scholars were instantly excited. He shouted loudly: "Not expensive, not expensive!"

Chen Deng and Zhao Yu looked at each other, and the same thought came to their minds: it's done.

Strike while the iron is hot, Chen Deng said to the scholars: "Gentlemen, the medicinal powder is made of top-grade medicinal materials, which cost a lot of money and time. The quantity is limited now. You are all future talents, so you can only buy a certain amount, no more than five bags. I am really sorry for the rudeness. In order to apologize, I will host a banquet for you today and tomorrow."

Someone replied, "Brother Yuanlong, what do you mean? We have always admired your knowledge. Not only did you give us a precious toothbrush, you also pointed out a clear path for us. We should be the ones to thank you!"

Everyone echoed, "That's it, that's it!"

Chen Deng bowed to the crowd and said, "I am sorry for being rude. I would like to talk to you about classics and heroes in the world. What do you think?"

Everyone looked at each other, overjoyed. Chen Deng really treated them as friends. They were so happy that they couldn't wait to accept it. How could they refuse?

Someone expressed his opinion: "Brother Yuanlong, this is a blessing we have been waiting for!"

Suddenly, a scholar sitting in the corner said, "Brother Yuanlong, you just said that it takes a lot of time and money to get the herbs. I dare not say anything about the latter, but I dare say I have a way to get the former. As you all know, I have some medicine shops at home. If you need any herbs, just tell me!"

"Ugh."

Even though his expression did not change, and even his eyes drooped and he sighed, Chen Deng laughed in his heart. He was really sleepy and someone brought him a pillow. He originally wanted to let Yuanda bring it up, but he decided to just take advantage of the situation.

"You may not know that if it is the precious medicinal materials of the Han Dynasty, although my Chen family has no extra money, we still have some ways to get them."

The man was stunned, and he asked: "Brother Yuanlong, what do you mean? Could it be that the high-quality medicinal materials you mentioned are not in the territory of the Han Dynasty? "

"good."

"What kind of medicinal herbs are they, and where are they?!"

"This"

Chen Deng opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but when the words reached his lips, he retracted them and paced back and forth.

Seeing this, the scholars were anxious. One of them said directly, "Brother Yuanlong, you've made me wait so long. Just tell me now!"

The other scholars echoed, "Brother Yuanlong, just say it!"

"Alas." Chen Deng stopped and looked at everyone deeply. He returned to his seat and sat upright. He said, "Gentlemen, do you know where Hua Changshi is from?" "Where is he from? Isn't he from Jincheng County in Liangzhou?" As the scholar answered, he seemed to realize something. He looked up at Chen Deng and said, "Liangzhou. Could it be that Liangzhou is in the Western Regions?!!!"

"No, no."

Chen Deng shook his head. "It is further west than the Western Regions. There is a country called Kushan. Kushan is rich in products. Hua Changshi asserted that this high-quality medicinal material is in Kushan!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the enthusiastic scholars felt as if they were poured with a basin of cold water. In their perception, the Western Regions were already far away enough. How much farther was Kushan, which was even farther than the Western Regions?
It would be fine if I didn’t know, but knowing where the treasure is but being unable to get it is really a pity. No wonder Chen Deng didn’t want to say it.

Zhao Yu suddenly stood up and sighed, "Is there no hero in the world who can help us? Why is there no figure like Marquis Dingyuan in the Western Regions?"

Everyone couldn't help but look depressed and sighed.

At this time, a voice among the scholars was in doubt and uncertainty, "Gentlemen, I heard that there is a man named Liu Bei, with the courtesy name Xuande. He once solved the problem of Qiang people and then rushed to help the Western Regions Chief Secretary's Office. I wonder if this man can solve our worries?"

"Liu Xuande"

Everyone started talking about this name, and gradually some people mentioned Liu Bei's deeds, such as his filial piety of "making a chair for his mother", his contribution of "Xuan De Paper", and his killing of generals and capturing cities.

The scholars who knew the story became more and more excited as they spoke, while the scholars who had only heard a rough idea of ​​it became more and more excited as they listened.

However, Zhao Yu frowned and said, "Yuanlong, Yuanlong, you are confused! Liu Xuande is just a commoner! How can he be compared with Dingyuan Hou?!"

Upon hearing Zhao Yu's words, the originally amiable Chen Deng's face immediately became long and gloomy as if covered by dark clouds, as if even the sunlight around him was dimmed. It was the first time for everyone to see Chen Deng like this, and they all swallowed mouthfuls of saliva and dared not breathe.

"Zhao! Yuan! Da!" Chen Deng raised his head, his voice devoid of any kindness, "Do you know what you are saying?"

"What?" Zhao Yu frowned even deeper. "Yuanlong, I know your temper, but have you ever met Liu Xuande? Rumors are not true. A glimpse of the leopard in the cage can tell a lot!"

"Zhao Yuanda, I want to ask you, if I could pacify all the countries in the Western Regions by myself, would I be comparable to Marquis Dingyuan?" Chen Deng asked.

"No," Zhao Yu shook his head. "The present is different from the past. The princes of the Western Regions are now afraid of the might of the Han Dynasty. The rebellion is just a mere Qiang Hu who takes advantage of the situation. Even if Liu Xuande pacifies the Western Regions, he is not half as good as Marquis Dingyuan!"

"Okay, what if Liu Xuande obtains a large number of cattle and sheep?" Chen Deng stood up and took a step forward.

"A large number of cattle and sheep?"

This time, not only Zhao Yu was stunned, but also the scholars present were stunned. What kind of concept is this? This is a real benefit!

Zhao Yu paused, gritted his teeth and said: "Comparable to the son of Dingyuan Marquis"

"Okay, let me ask you again." Chen Deng took a big step forward and stared at Zhao Yu, "What if Liu Xuande not only made the Western Regions submit to him, but also obtained the Heavenly Horse?"

As soon as the king bomb was played, Zhao Yu closed his lips, and even the discussions of the scholars died down in an instant.

What is the concept of a celestial horse? That was a BMW that made Emperor Xiaowu very happy! The horses presented by Dayuan were a sign of the strength of the Han Dynasty!

Zhao Yu's lips trembled at the thought, and his voice was like the wind in the depths of a mine. "If that's true, and Liu Xuande, Marquis of Dingyuan, can really do it, I will use all my wealth to help him dig a trade route to Kushan!"

"it is good!"

The scholars watching were very smart. If Liu Xuande was really that powerful, he would definitely send people to the Western Regions. Without the medicine powder, how could they claim to be elegant?
