“Old Ten, according to the rules, I can’t accompany you anymore.
But don’t worry, I’ve already spoken to my master and my cheap martial nephew. If you have any matters, you can go directly to the Deshun Prince’s Mansion.”
Before leaving, Yang Chen specially instructed.
Although the Deshun Commandery Prince would not help Chen Xiao to show off, if someone were to target Chen Xiao and trip him up, the Deshun Commandery Prince would not agree.
After chatting with Chen Xiao for a while, Yang Chen rode on the Mythical Wind Wolf and returned to the Chen family with the rest of the people.
Because they were not selected, the remaining people were not in the mood to enjoy the scenery. They arrived at Chen City in a depressed manner.
In Chen City, Yang Chen was planning to return to the Chen Family, but he suddenly saw many people in ragged clothes on the streets.
Immediately, Yang Chen asked the others to return to the Chen family first while he walked up to the group of people.
“Old man, why are you all in such a sorry state? I remember that the Chen family recruited all the people in the city. Every family will have food as wages.”
The old man opened his cloudy eyes and looked at Chen Yang.” Young Master, you might not know this, but we escaped from the famine in Willow City.”
“Willow City has already restricted the supply of food. Although it won’t cause people to starve to death, it will be difficult for them to survive.”
“We heard that as long as Chen Cheng is willing to work, they will give us food, so we quickly rushed here.”
“My son originally planned to find a job, but the Chen family is no longer recruiting, so he can only live on the streets.”
After listening to the old man’s words, Chen Yang thought about it. He originally wanted to take things slowly, but now it seemed that he could only use a strong medicine.
Immediately, Yang Chen returned to the Chen family.
After arriving at the Chen Family, Yang Chen didn’t go anywhere but went straight to the meeting hall.
In the meeting hall, Chen Xuan was dealing with family matters. When he saw Chen Yang return, he quickly went forward to welcome him. How was it? Did those brats pass the test?”
“Our Chen family’s accumulation is still not enough. The only one who passed the test is Chen Xiao.”At this point, Yang Chen was a little frustrated.
Chen Xuan, on the other hand, had a gratified expression.” Not bad. As long as one of them can pass the assessment, it’s good enough. At the very least, we’ve preserved the last bit of face of a ninth-rank aristocratic family.”
“That’s not important. Let me ask you, Elder. Do you know that there are many people in the city who have escaped from Liu City?”Yang Chen asked.
When Chen Xuan heard this, he handed the booklet on the tea table to Chen Yang.” Family Head, I was just about to tell you. I originally planned to recruit these people, but after some calculations, we don’t have enough food.”
Yang Chen took the book and read it carefully.” I have some estimates of the refugees on the streets, but it’s not too many.”
“How about this, let’s recruit them all first. With our current food supply, it shouldn’t be a problem for us to last for a year.”
“Then, we will rent all the fields in Chen City and expand production. When the new batch of rice was ripe, he would rent the fields in the surrounding cities.”
We will slowly rent out more grain, and strive to rent out all the land in Nanyang within three years. In this way, we can sell out grain.”
“As for those aristocratic families, no matter how unwilling they are, they will still have to fork out spirit stones to buy our food.”
Listening to Chen Yang’s description, Chen Xuan also saw an opportunity to earn Spirit Stones.
If they really spread it out, not to mention a lot, they could at least earn tens of thousands of spirit stones every year, unless those aristocratic families were willing to drop their grades.
However, there were still some problems.”
” Hide or hide? We have allies all around anyway. When we get them to block the news, at least we can hide it for a year.””
“In another year, even if we don’t expand, we will be exposed. Therefore, it didn’t matter whether he was hiding or not.”
Actually, with the help of Deshun Commandery Prince, there was no need to hide anymore. However, the Chen family needed time to rent the surrounding land and grow food.
If the Chen family were to go and rent the land now, not only would there be no rent, but it would also arouse the attention of the other aristocratic families.
When that time came, the other party would be the first to rent the land. At that time, the one who would be restrained would be the Chen family.
With the capital, even if the other aristocratic families banded together and asked the Chen family for food or fertilizer, the Chen family would have the capital to divide them.
Hearing Chen Yang’s words, Chen Xuan dispelled his last doubts.” Alright, I’ll arrange it immediately.””
“Oh right, if you want to be a tenant, you should give priority to the people of Chen City. As for the excuse, just say that it’s building a secret cultivation place for our Chen family.”
Finally, Yang Chen added.
“Understood.”
The news that the Chen family wanted to add more jobs had already spread. Countless disaster victims who had escaped from the famine quickly rushed into the Chen family’s streets.
“What are you doing? Be obedient. If anyone dares to move again, they won’t be given any work!”
A burly man reprimanded these foreigners. Looking at these people’s submissive appearance, and even some martial artists who did not dare to fight for it themselves, the burly man was secretly pleased.
After maintaining order, the burly man ran to the stall and said with a flattering expression,”Old Master Chen, everything is settled.”
“Yes.”
Chen Ming nodded and said casually,””Come over.”
“Are you all deaf?” the burly man shouted. Hurry up and go forward!”
Immediately, the victims of the famine in the country stepped forward one by one, waiting for Chen Ming to arrange work for them.
The disaster victims in the line behind them asked the Chen Chengren who was watching the show,” May I ask which old master of the Chen family is in front?”
“Although this is the old master, he is not the old master of the Chen family.
This person was called Chen Ming, a servant of the Chen Clan’s Eighth Young Miss. Currently, he was the most respected person in the clan, apart from the Chen Clan.”
The disaster victim nodded, and his heart immediately became active.
I don’t know if this old master is married or not. If he isn’t, I’ll marry my sister to him and not treat my sister badly.
Chen Ming didn’t know that someone was already thinking about him. He was still seriously completing the orders given by the Chen family.
At the same time, the Chen family had officially arrived at the homes of the farmers in Chen City. They planned to rent their land with food to build a cultivation base.
The rent was naturally grain, and the lease would naturally last until the land was restored.
The farmers were naturally very willing to rent the land. Since they could not grow it themselves, they might as well rent it out.
After renting all the land, the Chen family gathered these people near Chen City to avoid leaking information.
At the same time, the Chen family recruited many tenants to plant their own fields.
After a few days, all the land had been rented. The seeds were planted one by one. They were waiting for the harvest in half a year. Then, they could carry out Yang Chen’s plan.
After handing over the farmland to the Second Elder, Chen Yang and Chen Meng went to the newly opened Zhou Trading Company in Chen City to buy a peak Rank-i demonic beast..
