122 Every year I recommend a few young men to myself and then put them into the fish pen.
Isn't this just treating yourself as a tool? Even if Chen Jie wants to help some tribesmen, he doesn't need your recommendation.
If I agree, then this old guy will instantly become Chen Jie's spokesperson. Then whoever wants to enter the fish pen will just have to say a word from him, right?
At that time, he will have even more power, and he will also recommend those who have a good relationship with him. You can't imagine what the situation will be like then.
I have become a tool for this old guy to gain power. He is really good at calculating people. If Chen Jie was not smart, he would be sold out by this old guy and still be counting the money.
But Chen Jie was no fool. After seeing through the old man's hypocritical mask, he said, "Old uncle, hahahaha... you really have a good plan."
"Jiu Si, what do you mean?"
The old uncle's smile froze on his face.
Chen Jie said: "It's nothing, I just want to tell my uncle that you are old, you can't interfere in the affairs of young people. If you take good care of yourself in your old age, you can have a good end. If you meddle in other people's affairs, I'm afraid you won't have a good ending!"
"Jiu Si, what do you mean? I am doing this for your own good."
The old uncle defended himself.
Chen Jie laughed when he heard this and said, "I'll go to hell with you. You old man are taking advantage of your age and are trying to bully me, right? I didn't punish you last time because I took sides. Do you think you're still proud?"
"Chen Jiusi, how dare you speak to the clan leader like that? He, he is your grandfather!"
At this time, a young man stood up and shouted that he was the old uncle's grandson, and he stood up to speak for his grandfather.
Bang!
At this moment, a slap suddenly hit the young man in the face, and then a strong young man rushed over and lifted the grandson up by the collar with one hand.
"Chen Fugui, who do you think you are? How dare you talk to Brother Jiu Si like that? Believe it or not, I will kill you!"
It turned out that Chen Xiaohu was here.
He had a fierce look on his face, as if he wanted to kill Chen Fugui who was talking nonsense.
At the same time, a dozen young and strong men followed behind. They were the fifteen people who learned Taizu Changquan from Chen Jie yesterday.
These fifteen people were originally practicing boxing in an open space. When they heard that Chen Jie was leaving, they hurried over to see him off.
Then I saw this scene.
When the old uncle saw his precious grandson being lifted up, he immediately said anxiously: "Huzi, what are you doing? What are you doing? Put Fugui down quickly, put him down!"
At this time, Chen Xiaohu gave his uncle a sidelong glance.
But he did not let go. He was waiting for Chen Jie's order. As for the old uncle, he was nothing but an old guy who took advantage of his age.
The old uncle was anxious. When had his precious grandson ever suffered such an injustice? He originally wanted to take the opportunity to use Chen Jie La as a stepping stone. If he could get the right to recommend a younger generation, he would be the first to recommend his grandson to the fish pen. By then, wouldn't their family be prosperous?
Who would have thought that Chen Jiusi was so ungrateful. What Chen Sanliu said was right. People with other surnames are just not good enough.
But when you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. He looked at Chen Jie and said, "Jiu Si, I beg you, old uncle, please let Hu Zi put Fu Gui down!"
"My uncle knows that you have become rich and are unwilling to care about the people in the clan anymore. We know we were wrong and will not have anything to do with you in the future. We are not shameless people. We will definitely distance ourselves from you in the future and will never take advantage of you. Okay, put him down now!"
The old uncle said this pitifully with a crying voice.
After hearing what his uncle said, Chen Jie had a hint of sarcasm on his face. This old man is really mean and evil. He is good at moral blackmail.
Knowing that he had offended himself, he immediately tied himself to the Chen family group, as if not helping him would mean not helping the entire Chen family, directly pushing himself to the opposite side of the entire clan.
I have to say, there is something.
In the past, Chen Jie commented that this old man was just a livelier and waiting to die, but now it seems that he underestimated him.
He is also a scheming person.
Unfortunately, he met Chen Jie.
Chen Jie's expression remained unchanged at this time, and he looked at his uncle with contempt.
"Tiger."
"Hey, Brother Jiusi!"
Hu Zi responded.
"Slap him four times on both sides, just to teach him a lesson on behalf of his grandfather."
"yes!"
Hu Zi then put the man down, then stretched out his hands and slapped Chen Fugui four times in the face. After he finished beating him, his whole face was swollen.
"Master, Master~"
Chen Fugui covered his face and called out "Grandpa" in a crying voice.
The old uncle said distressedly: "Oh, grandson, grandson..."
Chen Jie ignored him at this time, and instead looked around and said, "My fellow tribesmen and fellow townsmen, I know what you are thinking. You all think that since I, Chen Jiusi, have become successful, I should help you all."
"But let me ask you, who took care of us when our family was down and out? Was it you, or you, or this old uncle?"
Chen Jie questioned and everyone lowered their heads.
Yes, when Chen Jiusi was down and out, he didn't add insult to injury. That was the good thing he did, he even helped him. Who else would help him except that idiot?
But now that they have become rich, everyone wants to come up and take advantage of them.
Just now when the old uncle was trying to pull his head back, they were still able to join in the fun, but now that the old uncle has been defeated, they can no longer take advantage of the situation.
Chen Jie glanced around sharply, lingering on everyone's face, but no one dared to look at him.
Chen Jie felt that was about right.
He said, "However, I understand everyone's situation, and I am willing to help everyone. If everyone is really capable, I am willing to lend a hand. I think the recommendation that old uncle just mentioned is okay, but I don't trust old uncle's character."
"So, let me tell you something. If you really think you have the talent, then go to Uncle Erba's house and let him check you out. He can also recommend you to me in the future."
"To put it more bluntly, in the future, I am willing to meet anyone recommended to me by my second uncle. If he is a capable person, I am also willing to help recommend him to the manager of the fish pen and help him find a future. However, if he is recommended by my old uncle, I will not meet him at all. Do you understand what I said?"
After Chen Jie finished saying this, the old uncle's face suddenly turned pale. Others might not have understood what was going on, but he did.
He's finished.
According to Chen Jie, Chen Erba will be the one who can speak the most in the Chen family in the future, and even his family members will be afraid to have anything to do with him.
I thought today would have a perfect outcome, but I never expected that I would lose not only the wife but also the army!
I'm afraid no one will listen to me anymore when I speak.
At this time, a group of people in the crowd looked at Chen Erba with eyes full of admiration that they had never had before.
At this time, everyone in Xiantao Village looked up to Chen Erba.
That is the only recommendation channel that Chen Jie is willing to accept!
Chen Erba's face flushed a little at this time. He had never been stared at by so many people in his life. He couldn't help but walk towards Chen Jie.
Everyone made way, and Chen Erba looked at Chen Jie and said, "Jiu Si, can I do it, me?"
Chen Jie smiled and said, "Uncle Erba, I trust your character. You won't recommend someone to me for the sake of profit. As for whether that person has the ability in the future, I don't know."
Chen Jie waved his hand: "Qi Chunhua."
"Brother Jiusi."
Qi Chunhua came over. He was the leader of a team of fifteen people. Chen Jie said, "I have a task for you. Huzi will follow me to the county in a while. I am worried about Uncle Erba being left in the village. You guys should come and help take care of him when you have nothing to do."
"Don't worry, Brother Jiusi, Brother Huzi's father is our father. We will definitely take care of him like our biological father in the future."
Chen Jie patted him on the shoulder and said, "In the future, if there is someone that Uncle Erba likes, you can get in touch with him. If he is a good person, you can teach him Taizu Changquan!"
"clear."
Chen Jie said that the simplest and most brutal way to test whether a person is talented is to use Taizu Changquan. If you can quickly get started with Taizu Changquan and become a skin-grinding martial artist, then you are a talent.
Uncle Erba tests a person's character, while Qi Chunhua and the other fifteen people test whether they are talented.
With these two approaches, Chen Jie didn't believe that it would be impossible to find a few decent talents in such a huge town like Xiantao.
In fact, Chen Jie really needs help from his fellow villagers.
These days, fellow villagers are very reliable, especially those from the same clan. Back then, Xiang Yu's 8,000 soldiers, Liu Bang's fellow townsmen association, including Zhu Yuanzhang's core generals of this era, were all from the same hometown, the 24 generals of Huaixi.
If Chen Jie wanted to accomplish something big, he must have his own core group, that is, his fellow villagers.
This farce was cleverly resolved by Chen Jie, and there was a person who had been watching everything, and that person was Si Xi.
Feng Xuan had two capable generals, one was called Sixi and the other was called Facai.
Si Xi is a smart guy. He is mainly responsible for Feng Xuan's social life and is considered Feng Xuan's personal secretary.
Fa Cai is a man of military power, and can be considered Feng Xuan's external thug.
This time, Feng Xuan directly sent Si Xi to contact Chen Jie. It must be said that he wanted to see what kind of person Chen Jie was.
And just as he thought, Chen Jie was indeed extraordinary and a capable person. Although dealing with this old uncle seemed like a trivial matter, it also showed how Chen Jie handled people.
The result was beyond Si Xi's expectations.
This way of handling things is reasonable and flexible.
He neither appears to be superior nor loses his status to be looked down upon, and he does things in a way that is very humane. These are not things a newcomer can do.
Thinking of this, Si Xi narrowed his eyes. It seems that Chen Jiusi is not only good in martial arts, but also has good skills in handling things. It turns out that none of the adopted sons of the hall master are easy to deal with!
Thinking of this, Si Xi said no more and just stayed beside the carriage.
Chen Jie invited Uncle Erba and Aunt Erba to come into the house to talk, while Xiaohu and fifteen young men guarded the door of Chen's house and consciously acted as security guards.
After entering the Chen family, Chen Jie gave all the uneaten rice, flour, grain, oil and other daily necessities in the house to his uncle's family.
Chen Jie's family couldn't take these things with them when they went into the city, so they left them for Uncle Erba's family. The key to the house was also given to Uncle Erba, asking him to help look after it and also serve as a training ground for Qi Chunhua and others.
After everything was arranged, Su Yunjin changed into the new clothes that Chen Jie bought for him.
Suddenly the whole person seemed to have changed.
She was wearing a blue skirt with a pink gradient blue lower body and embroidery of spring and sunshine. The whole outfit directly reflected her temperament and looked gentle and generous.
There is no sign that he came from the countryside.
This is the scholarly atmosphere that old scholar Su cultivated in Su Yunjin since childhood.
A man of culture is naturally elegant.
