When Chen Zhengtai heard this, he couldn't help but think that the newspaper staff scattered in various states and counties around the world were no longer different from the intelligence personnel.

But in detail, these people spy on and sort so much information every day, and after gradually getting familiar with it, it is difficult for them to become intelligence personnel without turning around.

Isn’t the so-called intelligence just based on this?

Chen Zhengtai immediately said, "No matter what method is used, I will ask me carefully in Yangzhou. I want to know what happened to Lou Shide in Yangzhou? Now that such a thing has happened, the Chen family cannot ignore it. Lou Shide was recommended by our Chen family. If he voted for Goguryeo, how could our Chen family have a bright face? I want to know that everything that happened in Yangzhou cannot be let go of a slightest."

"Here." After hearing Chen Zhengtai's words, Chen Aizhi became extremely cautious. He bowed without hesitation: "I understand, I will edit the text now. It's just..."

Chen Aizhi looked at Chen Zhengtai suspiciously and couldn't help but say, "What I heard is that most of the sailors recruited by Lou Shide have a grudge against the Goguryeo people, saying that they had betrayed the Tang Dynasty..."

"The key to the problem is here." Chen Zhengtai said: "I am afraid that everyone can make money. But Lou Shide and others have already gone to sea, and God knows whether they can come back! Or, can they be alive? If this person dies, they will not speak, but the living person can say whatever they want. But this alone is not enough to overthrow the comments from the governor of Yangzhou. What I want is real evidence!"

Chen Aizhi nodded, and he thought for a moment, and said, "In the Yangzhou area, not only my nephew can edit the article and ask them to inquire first, but there is a compiler here in the newspaper office, who is also the best at this. I asked him to set off today to go to Yangzhou in person, and specialize in this matter. It will definitely be revealed."

“That’s good.”

Chen Zhengtai immediately said, "There are also people like Yangzhou governors, so they should also check it carefully. Is this person's surname Cui? Where is the Cui family?"

Chen Aizhi immediately said, "It's from Qinghe."

"Qinghe Cui Family..." Chen Zhengtai nodded: "If there are any abnormal movements in Qinghe Cui Family, you should pay attention to it? Let's put your nose in front of our Chen family? Don't give me some color to see how it works."

Chen Aizhi responded quickly, and then hurriedly went to make arrangements.

Chen Zhengtai then ordered Chen Fu: "Go and invite the third uncle to come."

After explaining Chen Fu, Chen Zhengtai sat down and waited for his third uncle while drinking tea.

Chen Zhengtai has always felt that he is a moral person with a very positive outlook on his own? He is simply a conscience that travels through the line, but what happened today? This forced Chen Zhengtai to start thinking about the questions raised by his third uncle again.

Soon? The third uncle arrived. He sat down and someone came to serve tea. The third uncle took a sip of tea slowly. Then he looked at Chen Zhengtai with a smile and said, "Zhengtai? I see that you have a bad face. You, although you are young, you also need to nourish your body. Only by being strong can you pass on the family..."

"Uncle."

Chen Zhengtai interrupted him. Is there something important about him today? So he said directly: "Last time, my uncle mentioned something about uniting people's hearts? I have some ideas."

The third uncle was shocked and seemed to be waiting for Chen Zhengtai to say it.

Chen Zhengtai said, "If it is just in the name of the Chen family? It is not appropriate to invite people to a banquet every day? I don't think so? This is too ostentatious. Why not hold a classmate meeting and set up a teahouse in Chang'an. For the time being, only Jinshi from the university will be allowed to have tea and chat. Of course, if others want to go in, they need to be more than three Jinshi as a guarantee, and they need to check the person's daily words and deeds. If you have time, our Chen family can also sit... Of course, I will also go occasionally. As for whether to talk about the wind and moon or the affairs of the court, there is no need to explain."

"This is good." Uncle San's eyes, which were already a little cloudy, suddenly lit up a little, and then said: "You are right. It's really not a solution to always come to the Chen family. Zhengtai's proposal is just right. It's true that he is my nephew, it looks like... so much like."

Chen Zhengtai: "…"

Chen Zhengtai took a deep breath and said, "Besides, when you enter, you must help each other and have an agreement. For example, you must not rebel between classmates. If you criticize classmates, collude with outsiders, or commit other taboos, you must immediately remove the list. Not only will you not enter this teahouse from now on, but from then on, the university will also open him out."

Uncle San nodded: "No, you have to have rules. Without rules, you can't be in a square shape."

Chen Zhengtai continued, "I have to go and say that I have to ask him to take charge of the overall situation. With the prince often coming and going, it is not easy to attract suspicion. In addition, they are all young Jinshi. Although Your Majesty is in his prime now, he is happy to see the new Jinshi and the prince, as well as our Chen family."

This place... is very famous. If these people are not new Jinshi, they are all top figures in the Three Provinces and Six Ministrys. Given the tradition of the Li family likes to cut down their own people, Li Shimin is afraid that he will feel a little sad.

But these Jinshi are still young, and their current official positions are only at the seventh rank. For Li Shimin, it is a good thing!

In the emperor's opinion, the prince must have his own team to ensure that if he dies suddenly, the prince can quickly control the situation. On the other hand, this team cannot have the strength to take over the court and replace it. There must be a limit here. As long as this red line is not only the arrangement of the Chen family, the Chen family will not only not attract suspicion, but will instead be praised by Li Shimin.

The third uncle nodded with a little chicken pecking at the rice and said, "What else?"

Chen Zhengtai said: "Also, there must be a backbone, and this requires uncle and father to pay attention. As for this person, it is not urgent to cultivate slowly. The most important thing is mutual assistance. We must watch over each other. Only by making everyone laugh together can we keep warm and united."

The third uncle listened and sighed: "Look, I am coincidentally with you again, and I think so too."

After discussing with the third uncle, Chen Zhengtai suddenly said: "What kind of business is this Qinghe Cui family... doing?"

"What?" The topic was too sudden. The third uncle was stunned and then said, "Chinghe Cui? Zhengtai, what are you doing to provoke Choi from Qinghe?"

Obviously, the third uncle has not heard the news yet.

Chen Zhengtai has already asked someone to inquire about the news, but even if he inquire about the news, he only confirmed Cui Yan's crime.

But what about the Cui family behind Cui Yan?

This is a behemoth!

As long as the Cui family doesn't carry it for a day, Cui Yan will have the possibility of a counterattack.

Uncle San said without hesitation: "The biggest deal in the Cui family is porcelain. Since the Chen family started to burn porcelain, the Cui family has been looking at this business. At that time, they had many pottery workshops, but now they have started to imitate the Chen family's porcelain firing. After all, their family has a great business and can be opened once they know the tricks of burning porcelain. Now, they have thirteen kilns in Zhonghe Guandong, and they have made arrangements in their early years, so now they turn to burn porcelain and make good profits. Of course, it is just a good thing. After all, the soil required for burning pottery and porcelain is different. Although the Cui family tried every means to burn good porcelain, after all... this porcelain clay is not easy to get, so the output is also limited."

Chen Zhengtai said: "So that's it, then..."

He paused and then said, "This porcelain clay is indeed rare, but this porcelain is loved by the world. Even if it is our Chen family, it is not easy to find the best porcelain clay! But the third uncle, I have to ask you to do something. I know there is a place with a good porcelain clay mine. What about you, look for someone, find a name, and go for a survey. At that time, the Cui family must covet it. You can try every means to sell it to them at a high price."

"Ah..." Uncle San was stunned and couldn't help asking immediately: "How much porcelain clay is there?"

"The storage amount contained will never be low, enough for decades to mine."

The third uncle took a deep breath and said, "This... is not right. With decades of production, everyone wants to buy porcelain now. Maybe the porcelain clay is only a little bit, and it is not easy to get. Now I suddenly discovered such a large mine, which is nothing more than a gold mine. Since our Chen family can excavate, why not use it to refine porcelain by itself, but instead resell it to the Cui family for what to do?"

"I don't have to worry about this, just follow my method."

Chen Zhengtai said with a face full of wisdom.

……………………

A few days later, Cui Zhizheng, the eldest son of the Cui family, received news from the newspaper, and he was stunned.

The Cui family is divided into two houses, the main zodiac is Boling, and the Cui family in Qinghe is just a small zodiac.

The Cui family's county is at its peak. Even in the eyes of the world, the first surname should not be Li, but Cui. This shows how powerful the Cui family is.

Although the Cui family in Qinghe was just a small clan, during the Tang Dynasty, Qinghe's "Xiaofang" was regarded as the most popular clan. It was believed that even if the Cui family left the main clan aside, the Cui family in Qinghe could still become the best clan in the world.

Cui Zhizheng has been upset these days. After all, it was the trouble caused by his incompetent third son. This time, he had already mobilized all the relationship between Cui clan Qinghe and even used some Boling Cui clan's connections.

It would be fine if Cui Yan was good at being his governor and used it to boost his reputation, but who would have thought that this guy would go to make things difficult for a small captain. What he didn't expect was that the captain was very tough and turned his back on his face.

The matter has reached this point, although it has been arranged properly and the problem will not be caused by a big problem, Cui Zhizheng is still a little worried, for fear of making any mistakes.

Of course... Now that Cui Zhizheng saw the news in the newspaper, he was not in the mood to take Cui Yan to heart for a moment.

A large-scale porcelain clay ore was discovered in Ruyin County, Yingzhou, with an astonishing amount of storage.

porcelain clay……

The Cui family has been looking for porcelain clay.

After all, the main industry of the Cui family is closely related to the pottery making in the past. Since the Chen family started making porcelain, the Cui family has relied on its large kilns and the amazing land advantages to still compete with the Chen family. This is not the point. The key point is that the current porcelain making is not about the skills, but about the output of porcelain clay.

In this world, there are countless earths that can make pottery, but only porcelain is rare.

Now a large mine suddenly appears, which means that anyone who earns this large mine may appear to have a giant with huge wealth and directly defeat other porcelain making industries.

Once there is no shortage of porcelain clay, how can the Cui family compete with others for this output?

So he stopped hesitating and immediately said, "Come on, come on... hurry up and go to Yingzhou, check it out to see who owns the porcelain clay mine, and try every means to buy it for me."

This porcelain clay is gold! Although it is just some ordinary soil to others, nowadays, as long as it is refined, the price is even more precious than gold.

Once the Cui family obtains the porcelain clay ore in Yingzhou, it means that the Cui family’s kiln can start construction day and night, and there will be no shortage of porcelain clay.

Even... in Cui Zhizheng's view...even the Chen family's porcelain workshop will be vulnerable in front of him.

Cui Zhizheng is more clear than anyone about the preciousness of porcelain clay.
