Chapter 64: Property and personnel arrangements and clan affairs

Chenjiazhuang.

The whole village was in an uproar after hearing the news.

Everyone had a smile on their face and was in high spirits.

They would brag about whoever they met on the road. What were they bragging about?

They were bragging about the wisdom of the clan leader.

They were bragging about the bravery of their family members.

They had obviously not seen what happened with their own eyes, but they all talked about it as if they had witnessed it with their own eyes, and they were bragging about it to the sky.

What the clan leader led the charge, as if he was in an empty space, and killed the heads of the two families.

What Chen Yong smashed the courtyard wall with a hammer.

What Chen Li shot three people to death with an arrow.

Chen so-and-so killed a few more people...

They were just short of bragging about this battle as a war.

And when Chen Nuo brought people back with some money and food, the atmosphere reached a climax.

The whole village, old and young women and children, all came.

Everyone looked at it with burning eyes.

No one spoke.

Chen Nuo raised his hand.

"Eat your fill!"

"Chief!!"

Countless noises finally converged into two words.

Boundless waves of sound resounded at the entrance of the village.

This is a cheer for one person, and also a cheer for all the tribesmen who entered the grain tax team to fight for the clan!

…

Under the huge adventure, the happiest moment is the harvest.

The grain tax team members have already gained their own harvest.

And the tribesmen will also gain their own harvest, and at the same time, they will make greater efforts for the clan and themselves.

…

Ancestral hall.

Chen Nuo and his uncle lit a stick of incense for the ancestors.

Afterwards.

On the black wooden chair.

The two began to discuss what to do next.

"This money can't be spent carelessly."

"It seems a lot, but there are actually more places to spend money, and there must be a plan."

"You say." The uncle looked at Chen Nuo.

"First of all, part of it must be used to buy grain. In the future, as long as there is money, we must buy some grain, build two warehouses in the village, and send special people to guard them. Even clan members cannot go there without reason."

"Uncle, this matter requires reliable manpower, and they must be able to stay in the village for a long time..."

"Okay, leave it to me, I will let Lao Jin bring people to keep an eye on it."

"Well, in addition, the most urgent task is to select people from the clan to take over the spoils of this war. Those industries cannot be shut down."

"Compared to floating wealth, these are real wealth."

"I took a look, a Fulai Inn, a small farm, medicinal materials supply channels for each village, and land..."

"After a rough calculation, we don't have enough talents in our clan. It's not that there are not enough people, but that the standards are not met."

In fact, if it is not an important position, it is okay to send a clan member to show presence and monitor, but the problem is that some positions really can't meet the rigid standards!

For example, the accountant is not only able to recognize words, but also needs to be able to do arithmetic and be proficient in using an abacus.

There are also important positions such as farm manager.

He wanted to replace all the important positions with his own people, but now it seems a little unrealistic.

"I can only select some people first. I will see how many people in the clan are willing to come out to work, and give priority to those families with more people."

"You set the rules for these, and I will do it."

The uncle said naturally.

He thought that his old bones could still do something. His vision should not be able to help his young talent, but at least he could still play a role in specific affairs.

"Also, the ancestral hall needs to be repaired. Take your time. It is normal to repair it for a few years. You must take your time to do a good job."

"The same goes for the clan school. I plan to open a clan school first. All children over eight years old and under twelve years old will come here to teach for three years and provide lunch."

Hesitated for a while, and added, "regardless of gender."

The uncle was stunned and looked at Chen Nuo.

Regardless of gender?

This will increase the loss of money and grain.

Moreover, why should a little girl learn these?

She is not a lady from a rich family.

Looking at his uncle's eyes, Chen Nuo smiled helplessly.

It's normal for uncle to do this.

There are differences between men and women's bodies. The reality of productivity factors, coupled with ideological shackles, who would let girls go to school?

Chen Nuo didn't have the idea of going against the trend.

What about liberating women? He didn't have this idea at the moment.

He just felt that girls were also of the Chen bloodline. Wouldn't it be a waste if they didn't learn literature or practice martial arts?

Then what about my life points?

It's a blood loss!

"Uncle, there is no shortage of money and food for the time being. This is also a benefit for everyone."

After all, lunch is provided, which reduces the burden.

"Moreover, our family's status will definitely rise in the future. When our Chen daughter marries out, she can't be regarded as a vulgar village woman."

Chen Nuo gave this reason.

Uncle nodded slowly, "You are right, we can't lose face."

As for whether Chen Nuo can lead the family back to the county's wealthy family, the uncle didn't want to think about this issue at the moment.

"Don't worry about teachers. I have a friend who teaches in the county. He is an old scholar and is more than qualified to teach these children." said the uncle.

An old scholar is enough.

In fact, even the wealthy families in the county only invite scholars to their family schools.

Only the three major county families can afford to invite scholars.

This is not just about money.

It is also because of social status.

You don't have the status to throw money at it?

People look down upon you, a stinky businessman.

This is still the Yue Kingdom. I heard that in the larger Xia Kingdom, merchants are looked down upon even more. There, merchants even have to wear brocade clothes secretly...

"In this way, the most important things are settled."

"Arnold, don't be careless. If you make such a big move this time, the big families in the county and the surrounding towns will definitely be wary of you." Uncle Lao Cheng said.

Chen Nuo nodded, "It doesn't matter. I've already made preparations in advance. I sent some money over and asked Tax Collector Ning to help. The money is enough to feed those people for the time being."

"As for the other towns, those big households in Qinghe Town who want to cooperate with us to make money will help make peace and relax the vigilance of the big households in other towns."

Seeing that Chen Nuo had the draft in mind and had made preparations, my uncle felt relieved.

After talking to his uncle again, Chen Nuo withdrew.

Came to the uncle's house.

I talked to my uncle.

The main thing is those business matters. The uncle can't just take care of the Chen family's shop. He also has to take care of the money of other inns, medicinal materials, etc.

Before leaving, Chen Nuo was stunned when he saw Chen Yong lifting a stone mill in the yard.

There is food now.

Can I choose clan members to practice martial arts?

And Chen Yong, is it time for the skills of the Flesh Realm to be taught as well?

However, Chen Nuo still had some doubts.

"Forget it, let's take over the industry first and then make a decision."

Afterwards, Chen Nuo walked towards home.

Next.

There is still much to do.

However, Chen finally took the first step in his rise.
