Wen Daya was so choked by his words that he almost didn't fall back, glared and wanted to scold, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Chen Nian and Lu Xiao both looking at him, so he endured it again, and waved his hand weakly towards the stupid man and said, "It doesn't matter what it is, eat, eat." β
Silly laughed twice, finished gnawing the sweet potato in his hand, and went to the fire to take out the chestnuts to peel. He was not afraid of being hot with rough skin and thick meat, so he quickly peeled more than a dozen, put together a handful and handed it to Chen Nian, and said, "Big boss, give!" β
Wen Daya saw that he was so eyeless, he couldn't wait to kick him, and hurriedly said: "Look at your dirty hands, you are embarrassed to give it to the big boss, eat it yourself!" β
I didn't want Chen Nian to take most of the chestnuts in his hand with a smile, threw one into his mouth, and gave the rest to Lu Xiao, and thanked the fool with a smile: "Thank you." β
Silly Da saw that Chen Nian and Lu Xiao didn't dislike him, and they were even more happy, so they glanced at Wen Daya and said, "Look! The big boss doesn't dislike me. β
Wen Daya glared at him hatefully, but he felt uneasy, and took advantage of his unpreparedness to suddenly reach out and snatch all the remaining chestnuts in his hand, and covered them all into his mouth. Silly Da reacted again, and it was too late to rob it. When this fool also had an idea, he actually rushed over and wrapped his arms around Wen Daya's neck with both hands, threatening: "Spit it out, don't swallow it!" β
Wen Daya hurriedly broke his stupid hands with both hands, and he couldn't say anything in his mouth, but he just refused to spit out the chestnuts. Chen Nian and Lu Xiao couldn't help laughing when they saw him and the two of them making trouble like children over a few chestnuts. The house was lively, but someone outside the door came to report, saying that Zhu Zhen was coming to see him.
This Zhu Zhenyuan is the leader of this Hukouling, Chen Nian and others occupied this village that day, they took a fancy to this person's low-key and understanding of current affairs, so they left him to help manage the village's affairs, and the most important thing is to appease people's hearts, so as not to cause too much resistance from the original Hukouling village. Later, when the situation stabilized, many affairs in the village began to slowly hand over to Wen Daya and others.
However, this Zhu Zhen's style of acting is as always, he is still low-key and silent, he will do the things that Chen Nian explains, but if there is nothing to do, he never takes the initiative to make up in front of Chen Nian. Today, he can take the initiative to find the New Year, so that everyone will not feel a little meaningful.
Wen Daya looked at Chen Nian and asked her, "Do you want to clean up these things?" β
"No, you don't." Chen Nian smiled, and did not get up to greet him, but still sat by the fire pond, and instructed the people outside the gate: "Quickly invite Leader Zhu to come in." β
After the words fell, the door curtain was opened from the outside, and Zhu Zhen stepped into the house with a gray-robed man in his twenties, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that Chen Nian was peeling chestnuts around the fire to eat, and his face was slightly stunned.
Chen Nian looked up at him and greeted with a smile: "It's warm here, come and sit." β
Zhu Zhen hesitated for a moment, and then walked over to the fire pit. Wen Daya smiled and handed him a small low stool, raised his foot and kicked the stupid big one, and scolded in a low voice: "Get up, make a place, see that you are like a bear." β
Silly Da reluctantly got up, but before he could stand up, he was pressed down by Zhu Zhen, and said, "No, no, squeeze warm." β
The stupid man grinned at him and moved to the side, making room for it. Zhu Zhen took the gray-robed man to sit down in the fire pond, looking at Chen Nian, who was still concentrating on peeling chestnuts, he didn't know how to open his mouth for a while, thought about it, and then said: "This Fan brother has something to say to the big boss, so I will bring him over." β
Chen Nian raised his eyes and looked at the gray-robed man, but said, "I recognize you." β
The gray-robed man was slightly shocked in his heart, and quietly clenched his fists and arched his hand towards Chen Nian, and called out without humility or arrogance: "Big boss." β
"Fan Jingyun, huh?" Chen Nian smiled and asked, "I saw you from the Dao Chief, do you know how to heal?" β
"It's the villain." Fan Jingyun responded, but explained: "I don't know medical skills, but I sold medicinal materials a few times when I was a merchant in the past, and I know how much about the properties of medicine." β
Chen Nian raised his eyebrows unconsciously, since this Fan Jingyun had sold medicinal materials, I don't know why Chaoyangzi didn't take him to Yunxi. She glanced at Fan Jingyun and asked him, "Do you know where DΓ o has gone?" β
For the sake of safety, only a few leaders in the village knew about Chaoyangzi's trip to Yunxi, and even this Zhu Zhen didn't know where Chaoyangzi went. Chen Nian asked this Fan Jingyun, but it was just a temptation, but he didn't want him to reply: "I know a little, the Taoist wanted to ask the villain to go with him, but the villain's mother happened to be ill a while ago, and the villain didn't dare to leave, so he had to live up to the importance of the Daoist." β
Chen Nian saw that this person was speaking very thoughtfully, nodded slightly, and then asked him again: "What are you looking for me?" β
Fan Jingyun explained the intention, and actually suggested that Chen Nian redivide the residences of the homeless people in the village, "bring the fellow villagers together, and select those who can convince the people, one is to take good care of each other, and the other is similar to the local customs, so there can be less fighting." β
Chen Nian, Cui Xi and others had also thought about this, but they were afraid that these fellow villagers would be easy to form gangs and factions when they got together, and it would be difficult to manage, so they gave up. Now hearing Fan Jingyun mention it, she pondered for a moment and said, "There are pros and cons to this matter, and we need to think about it in the long run." β
Fan Jingyun followed xΓΉ and said: "Because the villain knows some superficial medical skills, he is often called to bandage everyone's wounds. The villain has gone through so many times, and most of the fights are due to the conflict of interests. Speaking of this, he couldn't help but smile wryly, "In the past, when I fled in all directions, everyone felt grateful if someone could stutter. But now that there is food, drink and a house, some people are dissatisfied with yΓ¬ up, thinking about living more spacious and eating better. β
Chen Nian lowered his eyes and said lightly: "People's hearts are insufficient. β
Fan Jingyun continued: "So the villain is thinking, can you find something to do for everyone, if you are busy, you will not have time to fight for me." β
This idea coincides with Chen Nian, who said: "When the weather warms up in spring, we will organize everyone to cultivate in the mountains and build some new houses." β
"That's good." Fan Jingyun said with a smile.
After the matter was finished, Fan Jingyun went out with Zhu Zhen's farewell.
Wen Daya looked at Fan Jingyun very pleasing to the eye, and couldn't help but say to Chen Nian: "Big boss, I see that this surnamed Fan is a person with mental calculations, why don't you transfer him to me and be a helper for me?" β
Chen Nian said: "You go back and check his details carefully, as long as there is no problem, tell Zhu Zhen to come over and use it." β
Wen Daya is now in charge of the food, drink and chores of the entire cottage, and he feels quite laborious, and has been looking for a competent assistant to help. After seeing this Fan Jingyun and getting the promise of Chen Nian, he immediately asked someone to touch his details.
Within two days, Fan Jingyun's situation was checked, and it was indeed as he said, Wu'an, there was only one old lady in the family, who had been a businessman for several years, but he didn't make any money, so he couldn't marry a daughter-in-law. Later, after the war in Wu'an, he took his wife and fled here with a few fellow villagers.
Only then did Wen Daya put his mind at ease and transferred him to his side to use it.
Regarding how to resettle the displaced people, Chen Nian discussed carefully with Cui Xi a few times, and then called Fan Jingyun over to ask his opinion. Before the spring warms, according to Fan Jingyun's suggestion, the outer village was finally redivided into areas and resettled displaced people from different states and counties. He also selected strong men from them to weave together, farming when he was busy, and learning some stick kung fu in his spare time.
Chen Nian said to everyone first, and said: "Don't worry, everyone, this is not to pull you into the gang, but just to let everyone have some means to protect themselves." Although I am a bandit, I will not let you fall into the grass. I know that no one wants to live on a knife as long as they can get out of the way. At present, there is war outside, and everyone has to get together to help each other in order to ask God for a way to survive. When it is too peaceful outside in the future, you can go as long as you want, return to your hometown, or go elsewhere, we will not interfere with each other and go our separate ways. β
Many people were moved to tears when they said this, and they didn't know who started first, and called in unison: "Fourth Master Xie!" Xie Siye! β
Chen Nian couldn't cry or laugh when he heard it, pressed down his hands and signaled everyone to stop, and laughed loudly: "Although I am a woman, everyone can look up to me, call me a thank you, I am very happy." I won't say much else, but there is one more sentence: If you don't live up to me, I will live up to you. β
Thousands of people responded in unison, and the sound seemed to shake the earth. Everyone in the village looked at Chen Nian with even more admiration, and Lu Xiao, although he was still standing silently with a scimitar in his arms, his eyes were full of joy and pride.
The miscellaneous things in the cottage are messed up every day, and when the things of farming are arranged, it is already March again. As soon as Chen Nian got a breath here, Wen Daya remembered that he was going to Xuanzhou to do business again, and he was busy urging Chen Nian to go out.
Chen Nian felt helpless and asked him, "Wen Daya, even if you call the cow, you have to give it a breather, don't you?" β
Wen Daya said with a smile: "I don't want to ask you to go out for a walk!" Doing business is just a matter of the way, dispensable, dispensable! β
Chen Nian lost his temper with him, so he had to nod and say, "Okay." β
But going to Xuanzhou is different from going to Feilongcheng, it is a big city, and the prosperity is not under Jizhou City, so you can't take a sword to grab it openly. Chen Nian looked for Cui Xi to discuss, Cui Xi said: "We are now famous, all relying on the word 'righteousness', instead of robbing those rich people scattered, it is better to simply do a big vote, and the idea is to rob the official bank of Xuanzhou." β
Chen Nian only said that he was bold, but he didn't want Cui Xi to be even more bold, so he looked at him silently before saying: "Competing with the government, we can't get cheap." β
Cui Xi said: "Now that the world is so chaotic, it is known that we did it, and the people of Xuanzhou can't chase us into the mountains, and Qingzhou and Jizhou don't have time to stand up for him." And with a large sum of silver, we can go to buy grain. β
Chen Nian was silent, and Cui Xi persuaded again: "Although we have enough food at the moment, but look at the current situation, Jiangbei has not been able to live in peace for the past two years, and more and more people will defect in the future, and only those who can afford to support them must be able to afford it." β
Chen Nian was moved by him, gritted his teeth, and said, "Okay, just according to what you said." However, it would be best if the other party could not find out who did it. β
