Chapter 1969 The Chen family who is running out of food
"Yunfei, this is what happened. The consensus of the Presbyterian Council is that the opportunity must not be missed before it comes again. What do you think?"
The great elder Chen Shanming came to visit and told Gu Chen about the Changxi County mineral veins in a pleasant manner, in a rather consultative tone.
We really have to discuss it. Although Gu Chen is only a newly promoted elder of the Chen clan, he has the Saint of Luomen as his backer. He is the only one who can contact the great prophet.
The Chen clan wants to fight for the interests of the mines in Changxi County, but it can't be done without the support of a strong man from the holy realm, so they must come to test Gu Chen's words, and it is best to get the clear support of the saint from Luomen.
After listening to the Presbyterian Council's thoughts, Gu Chen just tapped his fingers lightly on the table, as if thinking, giving people a mature, steady and extraordinary feeling.
Chen Shanming looked at this scene and nodded secretly. To be honest, he had very little contact with Yunfei, a junior, and even after he returned to the clan, he didn't communicate much.
Over the years, he has followed the great prophet of Luomen. Apart from other things, at least he doesn't have the frivolousness of other juniors in the clan.
"The Jade Clan and the two Holy Lands have taken the lead, and the Chen Clan has been dormant these years. I wonder how sure the elder is of capturing the mineral veins in Changxi County?" Gu Chen thought for a while and asked carefully.
"Yunfei, you haven't been in the clan all year round. It's not surprising that you don't know some things."
Chen Shanming showed a bit of pride on his face and said: "Although our Chen clan has secluded themselves from the world, we have actually secretly cultivated some forces outside the country. However, Changxi County was not valued by the imperial court and the two holy places, but it was in favor of our Chen clan's secret
Cultivate power.”
"Oh? Is my clan's power in Changxi County?" Gu Chen understood the elder's meaning and was quite surprised.
"That's right! It turns out that the reason why we secretly train our troops in Changxi County is also to prevent our Chen clan from being able to stay in the Yu Dynasty one day and fleeing to the Sheng Dynasty through Changxi County. No, it should be called the Pei Dynasty now.
"
"Because this matter is related to the Chen clan's escape plan, the forces we have cultivated in Changxi County have been deeply hidden to ensure that no organization can detect this network of relationships."
"After years of development, that force has gained considerable power in Changxi County. We can use them to intervene in the battle for the mineral veins in Changxi County. It is reasonable and legal, and the court and the two major forces can't say anything."
"The only pity is that this force will be exposed from now on, but as long as we can successfully capture the Geng gold vein, everything will be worth it!"
Chen Shanming told the truth and didn't say anything unnecessary.
Now that the Chen clan has formed an alliance with the Pei Dynasty, everyone knows that if the Chen clan is really besieged by the major forces of the Yu Dynasty one day, they will definitely be wary of escaping to the Pei Dynasty. The secret chess in Changxi County will be of no use.
And if we take this opportunity to seize the ownership of the Changxi County mineral veins openly, not only can the Chen family obtain a large amount of resources, but this force can also make better use of it. Not only can they help mine the mineral veins, but they can also cooperate with the Pei Dynasty.
Form closer connections.
Of course, the Jade Clan will definitely be wary of this, but as long as the saint of Luomen is around, they can only do some small tricks. Is it possible that they dare to provoke a war?
Chen Shanming has a deep understanding of the Jade Clan. This clan is used to being wealthy and has a strong backer such as the Mu Clan. They have little sense of worry and are not willing to fight with others with real swords and guns.
As for the two holy places, Changxi County is far away from their base, and if it is really taken over by the Chen clan, they can only look back and sigh!
All in all, with the help of forces that have been secretly cultivated in Changxi County for many years, they have a great chance of seizing the mineral veins. This is also a great opportunity for the Chen clan to rise again!
"So, the Great Elder is extremely confident?"
After listening to what the elder said, Gu Chen couldn't help but frown, as if he was a little unhappy.
"That's natural! Yunfei, I've told you everything that needs to be said. This is a great opportunity for our Chen clan to rise again. What do you think? Will the great prophet support our approach?"
Chen Shanming looked at Gu Chen eagerly, full of expectation, and did not notice Gu Chen's subtle expression.
"This... the mind of the great prophet is as unpredictable as the deep sea. Often, he will see the next three steps after others take one step, so I dare not say whether he will support it."
Gu Chen hesitated a little, and when he saw Chen Shanming's expression becoming nervous, he immediately said: "Okay, I'll call the Great Prophet as soon as possible. After getting feedback from him, I will notify you as soon as possible."
"Okay, I wonder how many days will it take? You must know that it is not too late and the troops must be quick. We must take action before the situation in Changxi County becomes clear." Chen Shanming asked eagerly.
"Three days at the earliest, five or six days at the latest. Great Elder, please be patient before the Great Prophet summons you."
"Okay, I'm waiting!"
Chen Shanming nodded, then stood up, patted Gu Chen's shoulder affectionately, and said sincerely: "Yunfei, you also know a little about the situation in the clan. For so long, because we have been hiding from the world, our Chen clan has been suffering.
Due to the suppression by major forces, the territory and available resources are becoming less and less."
"It is not easy to maintain the operation of a huge family. The elders need money to practice and train their children. Money is needed in all aspects, but the resources are getting less and less! It is no exaggeration to say that our Chen clan is almost running out of food.
All the descendants of the Jade Clan can enjoy the Three Yuan Pills, but I, the great elder, have to look forward to the New Year to share a few of them!"
"If we can successfully seize the Geng gold vein this time, then our Chen clan will be like a rain after a long drought. With the resources available, the clan will have greater hope of rising again. And when the time comes, you will be the number one contributor.
I will never treat you badly, and Sanyuan Dan will take care of it by then!"
"So, if you say more good things in front of the Great Prophet, you must make sure to facilitate this matter. It's up to you!"
Chen Shanming spoke from the bottom of his heart and truly regarded Gu Chen as one of his own, even telling his own embarrassing situation.
"Don't worry, Great Elder, I will do my best."
Gu Chen could only nod his head when he heard this. After hearing this, Chen Shanming felt relieved and left quickly.
He had known that the Chen clan was in a difficult situation due to their long secluded life, but he never expected that it would be as difficult as what Chen Shanming said.
No wonder, with the powerful inheritance left by the amazingly talented Chen Sheng, the Chen clan has not been able to give birth to another saint for so many years. They are really poor!
Although cultivation requires talent and understanding, it is difficult to make progress without money!
If there is no money, where will the elixir come from to break through the bottleneck?
Without money, how can the cultivation speed of future generations keep up with other forces?
After all, there are only a few geniuses who really do not need to rely on external objects, so Gu Chen can understand the situation of the great elder and the urgent mood of the Chen clan elder council.
However, although he sympathized with them, he would not do this favor.
To be precise, the news about the mines in Chauncey County was specially left to Ni Bodhisattva before he left the World of Immortals a few days ago, asking him to find someone to secretly tell it to the two holy places.
In other words, the current conflict between the two holy places and the Jade Clan in Changxi County was deliberately provoked by him, but both parties did not know it.
He had guessed that the Chen clan might have some thoughts after hearing the news, and he was ready to deal with the great elder and ask him to give up the mine.
However, what he didn't expect was that the Chen clan happened to have their own power secretly in Changxi County, and they had great hope of seizing the mineral veins. For a moment, the rhetoric he had prepared seemed a bit far-fetched. If he refused forcefully, Chen Shanming would doubt his position.
Therefore, he could only deal with him first, saying that he would consult the Great Prophet before replying. In fact, he would not contact the Great Prophet at all. He had already decided on this matter, and the Chen clan could not be involved in the conflict in Changxi County!
He has his own plan, which he cannot tell the Chen family for the time being, and even after it is completed, he does not intend to let them know.
When Chen Shanming comes to bother him again in a few days, he can only refuse him in the name of the great prophet!
As for whether the Chen clan would have a crush on him because of this, he couldn't care less. He only knew that Chen Shanming did not dare to oppose the opinions of the great prophet, and that was enough.
