Chapter 74: Expansion of the Grain Tax Team and Reentry Into the City

What happened in the distance.

Most people in this world don't know.

Most people will only be guided and dominated by a few people. When something strange happens one day, they are just confused and don't know the inside story.

Being used as a knife... cannon fodder... chess piece...

Dying in a daze is the fate of most people.

Chen Nuo is no exception now.

...

Although Chen Nuo really wants to go to the county to speed up the progress in medicine.

After all, this is the core industry of the family in the future.

But the reality is that Chen Nuo is trapped in Qinghe Town and can't leave.

Why?

Because of the grain tax team.

As an armed team of 200 people, the previous manpower was not even half, and now this shortage must be made up.

During this period, Chen Nuo had to select manpower and arrange Chen family members.

Because Hujia Village no longer exists, 50 places were sold by Chen Nuo to the big families in Qinghe Town.

However, it is said to be sold to them, which is actually another angle of wooing and infiltration.

Because according to Chen Nuo's requirements, among these 50 people, there must be at least one son of their current head of the family.

Out of fear of Chen Nuo's authority, the seven big families would not object, but they would not send their legitimate sons, and it is obvious that they would send some unappreciated illegitimate sons.

And this is what Chen Nuo wants.

The choice within the Chen family is more difficult.

There is no way.

There are not many young and middle-aged people in the Chen family.

The total population is only more than 400 people. There are not many young and middle-aged people, even if the outsiders in Chenjiazhuang are counted this time.

Therefore, Chen Nuo can only select some members of the Chen family to join the grain tax team and take up important positions. Other marginal positions are given to people from Shangao Village and Xiaoshan Village.

Because the people of these two villages are deeply bound to the Chen family in a sense.

Especially after the grain tax team's first attack.

Now, a lot of food in the two villages is obtained through business with the Chen family.

Therefore, it is relatively reliable and naturally worth promoting.

"Chen Xiang, you will be the captain of these three teams, Squadron A." (Squadrons and other organizations are not exclusive to Japan, we also have them)

"Chen Xiao..."

"Chen Hua..."

"Chen Shan..."

"Diwu Li..."

"Xiao Liu..."

In fact, with the captain and deputy captain, the 200-person organization is slightly over the standard.

But it doesn't matter.

No one cares about this problem.

Although the captains have been decided, the personnel are still being recruited and selected.

But Chen Nuo only selected a part of them and handed them over to Chen Xiao, Chen Hua, and Chen Shan. The uncle helped to fill in the gaps.

…

December.

The New Year is coming.

The people of An County have gradually begun to prepare for the New Year, and some vendors selling New Year's goods have appeared on the street.

Chen Nuo took a mule cart to the southern part of the county again.

Looking at this scene, he suddenly said, "Remember to buy more things when you go back this time, so that everyone can go back to the village to celebrate the New Year, and it will be lively."

Chen Yong came over, "Can you buy more food? We used to be able to eat good food, but in recent years, we can hardly eat meat during the New Year."

"Come on, uncle, didn't he always bring food back from business? It's because you have a big appetite. You thought you didn't eat it after taking a bite."

"Hehe."

Chen Yong touched his head embarrassedly.

Looking at the tribesmen around him, Chen Nuo said, "We will give you some benefits at the end of the year, remember to take them back."

Everyone felt much better at once, and smiles appeared on their faces.

It's the New Year.

Eat well, drink well, and reward yourself for your hard work for a year. This is what you should do.

The mule cart turned around.

It came to the store.

At this time, a group of black little beggars were walking out of the store, and they ran away immediately when they saw them.

"Let's go."

Chen Nuo glanced at them and walked into the store.

The uncle is still doing the accounts.

There is no way, maybe these are some problems that suddenly come up from below. Even if the accountant has been hired, the uncle is still more accustomed to doing the accounts again by himself.

Because of this, one accountant has already been angry and left.

Unfortunately, the uncle obviously has no intention of changing.

"Patriarch."

Seeing Chen Nuo coming, the uncle immediately came out to welcome him.

Relatives are relatives, but when outside, the identity of the patriarch is the greatest.

Chen Shuiwen now understands this very well.

To be honest, after seeing his nephew's decisive and cold side, it is difficult for him not to be careful about his attitude.

But this silly son of his own, this character is with the right person, and it can be considered a fool's luck...

Just thinking about it.

"Dad, hehe." Chen Yong came over and smiled with a big mouth.

"Go, go, stop forcing a smile."

"Dad, give me some money."

"What do you want the money for?"

"Forget it, I guess you just want to eat, here, give it."

A few taels of silver fell into Chen Yong's palm as big as a palm fan.

"Thank you, Dad."

"Yeah, yeah, go, go."

Looking at the tone of his uncle teasing a child, Chen Nuo couldn't help but want to laugh.

But he also understood that his uncle was joking with Chen Yong, and the relationship between them as father and son has always been like this.

Chen Yong took the money and walked out.

"Uncle, it seems that you have started to promote it?"

Chen Nuo stepped forward and asked.

Chen Shuiwen nodded, "Well, after you left two days ago, I thought about it carefully. These little beggars are really good labor."

"Look, this is not it. At the beginning of today, I finally found a few little beggars in the alley who are willing to work for me and have a clean background."

"The price is quite low. I give them two steamed buns a day and allow them to live in the corner outside the house that can block the wind and rain. It's free."

"They shouted all day and were willing to run around to help pass the message."

Chen Nuo nodded.

I understand what he meant by clean background.

Some beggars have people behind them. There has been no shortage of cutting and cutting since ancient times.

This is already a chain of interests.

However, Chen Nuo did not have the idea of ​​being a hero. Knowing oneself is a very important ability, and Chen Nuo obviously has it.

As for whether the uncle hired them without spending money or not.

I can only say that the uncle is relatively kind.

He is willing to give two steamed buns.

If it were other merchants, one would be enough, and they would not be allowed to get close to the store.

Why?

One is theft, the second is that it is easy to cause trouble, and the third is that it affects your mood.

"Chief, do you think these little beggars are reliable?"

Chen Nuo curled his lips.

The people you recruited?

You asked me?

Obviously, Chen Shuiwen was still a little unsure.

"It doesn't matter, there is not much loss anyway, right?"

"That's true."

"In addition to these things, we have to think of ways to import more other goods. We can't just rely on these things..."

"In fact, there are not many doctors in the county. If we have enough doctors in our Chen family..."

"Doctors? For this..."

While Chen Nuo and Chen Shuiwen were discussing business, Chen Yong was suffering the biggest "crisis" he had ever suffered since he was born!
