Chapter 29 Thinking about defeat before winning (seeking a monthly ticket)(1/2)
Chen Hu and seven or eight figures wearing bamboo hats and raincoats climbed on the eaves facing the street, clawing at the ridge of the roof, stretching their necks and staring dumbfounded at the funny scene below.
Thieves pressure.
The county soldiers retreated.
The idle men followed suit.
The thief retreats.
The county soldiers suppressed.
The idle men followed and retreated.
The three people were like opera singers on the stage, running up and down the long, wide and straight street.
Apart from the dirty words of the idlers and the random provocations and curses from the county soldiers, there was no sound of fighting for a while.
Even Zhao Si had put away his saber and stood under the city gate hole, seizing this opportunity to make friends with the city gate officials.
"Er Huzi, are we still going down?"
One person held a bamboo hat on his head, and some of his hair was scattered.
"If you want to do it, be early. The stall is waiting for us to deliver cooked mutton!"
Someone slashed the rusty horse-cutting knife across the roof ridge, and the hand holding the knife was covered with age spots.
Chen Hu: "Uncle Liu, Uncle Wang, don't be anxious. We are waiting. It would be better not to take action if we can. Dalang tried his best to separate our family from Zhao Laosi's people. As a last resort,
We can't mess up his plan!"
"Why!"
Someone sighed in a low voice: "It's really hard on that kid. Our family still has the same airs as before. Why should he, a child with a yellow mouth, worry about us old immortals!"
"Yeah...I heard that Chen Laosan taught Da Lang his three-blade axe. Is Dalang willing to learn? If not, our Fuhu Dao is not as good as Chen Laosan's three-blade axe."
It’s very lethal, but it’s still passable!”
"And you have to find some time for me to spend some time with Dalang, who is so good at shooting arrows. If we don't teach him, he might be taken underground one day!"
"And I have this soul-breaking gun..."
Seeing this, Chen Hu hurriedly waved his hands and said: "Uncles, this matter can't be rushed, that little brat..."
"Snapped!"
Before he could finish his words, he was slapped on the back of the head and staggered: "Who are you calling a bastard!"
Chen Hu:???
You are not so protective of your calf!
But facing the old faces that were glaring angrily, he could only change his words: "Okay, okay, it's my nephew who is the one talking about it, it's the elder man, it's okay for him... That kid is very opinionated, he
What he wants to do and what he wants to learn is as clear as a mirror in his mind, and when I say anything to him, it’s like farting!”
"Then we don't care!"
The old men raised their heads domineeringly: "The fourth child is not at home, so you are the one who makes the decisions at home. Anyway, you have to make arrangements for us, otherwise we will be careful about your skin!"
"Yes, anyway, you have to make some arrangements for our brother!"
"I beg you, grandpa, to tell grandma that all the skills you learned can't be taken away into the soil!"
"If it doesn't work out, we'll go to Chen's house and won't leave!"
"Yes, I won't leave!"
Chen Hu's head was as big as a bucket, and he was secretly furious. When he turned around and forced Chen Sheng to go from house to house to learn his skills, a chaotic and violent sound of horse hooves quickly came from far away.
He quickly got up, stood on his tiptoes and looked towards the south end of the long street, where he saw a fiery red torrent rushing towards him.
He felt relieved, bent down and said with a smile: "The county soldiers from Nancheng Camp have arrived, this matter is settled, we don't need to do it ourselves!"
He felt relieved and felt that he had avoided a disaster. However, the old men were greatly disappointed.
"Hey, it's a waste of time, it's disappointing!"
"It's just that I haven't touched anyone in many years, and my bones are all rusty!"
"You can pull it off. You are just holding on. If you really go and fight these young and fierce young cubs below, you can't win them over, so you have to stay here."
"That's better than lying on the hospital bed!"
"Yeah, it's better than lying on the hospital bed..."
All the old men sighed, and their voices gradually became sad.
Chen Hu couldn't bear to hear this and said quickly: "Uncles, aren't you still busy at home? Let's leave quickly. I also have to go to Dalang's place quickly. He is still waiting for news from me at the wine shop!"
"Let's do it!"
The old men nodded reluctantly, looking down at the long street with eyes full of reluctance.
…
When Chen Hu returned to Youyu Restaurant, he saw Chen Sheng sitting in front of the square table, dipping his fingers in the hot soup and writing and drawing on the square table in a trance.
He looked at it intently for a few times and suddenly asked: "What words did you write? Why don't I recognize any of them?"
Chen Sheng was startled by him, and immediately said without blushing: "This is an ancient oracle bone inscription. It's normal that you don't recognize it because you don't know much about it... What's wrong?"
Chen Hu sat opposite him and glanced at Fang Ji's calligraphy and paintings in confusion...Oracle bone inscriptions? Why don't they look like it?
"Zhao Si led the people to hold back the thieves. The county soldiers from the Nancheng camp have arrived, and no one can escape!"
he said.
"Is it done?"
When Chen Sheng heard this, his heart suddenly relaxed.
He is not afraid to start all over again, but it would be better if he could stop his losses!
He lowered his head and looked at the two layout plans in simplified Chinese characters on the square table. He picked up the water bowl and placed it on one of the plans. The clear water that overflowed quickly submerged the layout plans... This is assuming that he failed to leave the layout today.
After the bandit road, the next layout diagram.
He looked at the layout diagram of Ling Dui: Chen family, Tiger Hall, martial arts realm, martial arts hall, branch rudder, food storage, money, connections...
He stared at it for a long time, then suddenly picked up the kettle on the table and poured it on the layout map: "There are three things that you need to do as soon as possible!"
"First of all, the matter of harvesting grain that I told you earlier must be conveyed to all the uncles' homes today, and it must be explained clearly. This matter can only be kept in the heart and must not be spread outside. Moreover, the grain harvesting must be planned slowly.
In other words, you must not buy too much at once to cause food price fluctuations!"
Chen Hu pondered and listened to what he said, then whispered: "Da Lang, are you worried that there may be a food shortage this year?"
He didn't know anything about farming, but he wasn't a fool. After Chen Sheng told him the matter earlier, he thought about it for a long time, how could he not figure out the reason behind it.
Chen Sheng nodded slightly: "Blessings come unparalleled, and misfortunes never come alone. Be prepared!"
Chen Hu thought for a while and thought that if he gathered some grain, even if there was no food shortage this year, he could eat it himself or sell it to others without losing much money, so he nodded and said: "We can save it, we will do it after we get back!"
Chen Sheng nodded: "The second thing is that I plan to open a Tiger Martial Arts School in each of the four cities in the name of the Tiger Hall, recruit apprentices, teach martial arts, select the best among them, and add them to my Chen family caravan and the Tiger Hall.
The personal martial arts realm is a position in the Tiger Hall... which is the standard for upgrading to the leader. The current proposed incense master and red stick are given time. If they cannot reach the corresponding martial arts realm standards within the specified time, the appropriate personnel will be in place.
After that, they will all be demoted, the incense master will be demoted to the red stick, and the red stick will be demoted to the straw sandals!"
He was awakened by today's sudden accident and found out that no one under his command was available when he was in urgent need of employing people. He was determined to make up for it before it was too late.
After hearing this, Chen Hu showed hesitation and whispered: "Da Lang, is this necessary? This can earn a lot of money, and martial arts training will hardly be effective in a year and a half. Besides, we
It’s not like we don’t have anyone at home, even if we don’t have anyone at home, we can still ask for people from your uncle.”
Chen Sheng smiled and asked softly: "Second uncle, do you know when is the best time to plant a tree?"
Chen Hu thought for a while: "Spring March?"
Chen Sheng shook his head: "It was twenty years ago!"
Chen Hu glared at him angrily: What nonsense are you talking to me?
Chen Sheng said calmly: "The next thing is now!"
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Chen Hu to ask another question, he continued: "The third thing: the screening of Tiger Hall personnel will be accelerated. After the listing is completed, a suitable candidate will be found as soon as possible to replace Uncle Zhao's seat. After the handover is completed, the listing will be carried out...
Within half a month, Fourth Uncle Zhao must change his appearance and go to another county."
Chen Hu frowned: "What's the point of this?"
Chen Sheng tapped the table lightly and whispered: "Although these thieves are dead, this matter is not over yet!"
"This group of people acts so unscrupulously, and all of them are strong men. I guess they must have back-ups outside of Chen County!"
"According to their vengeful style, the people behind them may not dare to retaliate against the county government, but retaliation against Fourth Uncle Zhao is certain. We cannot risk Fourth Uncle Zhao's wealth and life."
"However, after this battle, the county government should be on guard, so it is unlikely that they will send a large number of people to Chen County again. I guess they will only send good people to sneak into Chen County to take revenge like they did when they ambush Fourth Uncle Zhao last night!"
"Let someone else take Fourth Uncle Zhao's seat. Their person came to Chen County and is not familiar with the place. They can't find the right person, so they can't recruit... It just so happens that Chen County is under the eyes of all the county officials, so it's hard to do anything big.
, I plan to ask Fourth Uncle Zhao to go to another county to start a new business, and when it grows stronger, it will feed back the Chen County headquarters."
To be continued...
