Chapter 153: Master Chen, the gang leader invites you! ( words, please subscribe)
"Husband, Madam, I, I didn't mean that!"

Du Juan was frightened by Huang Wan'er's eyes and trembled all over. She knew too well how crazy her lady was. She would be very upset if she was misunderstood as someone who really wanted to have some thoughts about the child in her belly.

Then my life is over.

The lady would have countless ways to kill herself, even including destroying herself and herself.

Dujuan believed that if the baby in the lady's belly was really gone.

Moreover, it was her own doing. The madam would most likely go directly to the gang leader and tell him that she had been defiled, and that it was a little girl like her who let the wild man in. In that case, she would definitely be killed without a burial place.

The gang leader will definitely treat you in the cruelest way. Yes, it's as cruel as you imagine.

"Ma'am, please don't misunderstand me. I, I am doing this for your own good!"

Huang Wan'er said, "I don't need you to be nice to me! Tell me, you didn't drug me, did you?"

Du Juan shook her head repeatedly and said, "No, Madam, I don't dare, I don't dare."

Huang Wan'er looked at Du Juan with a scrutinizing look, and then asked, "Du Juan, how long have you been with me?"

Du Juan said: "Three years."

Huang Wan'er said, "Yes, it's been three years. Back then, you were still the little maid who was bullied and had to eat moldy buns. Some people even said they wanted to give you to the dung-carrying bald-headed Wu Dang as his wife. You cried and told me that you wanted to change and serve me for the rest of your life. I said no, I would give you freedom in five years."

"It's been three years now, haha... there are still two years left. I don't want to break my promise, and I don't want you to break your promise and betray me!"

Huang Wan'er looked at Du Juan.

After hearing this, Du Juan knelt on the ground and said, "Madam, it is because you saved me from the dire situation that I must tell you the truth!"

"Madam, we can't keep this child. If the gang leader finds out, you will definitely die, and Master Chen will also be implicated, and this child won't be saved, so Madam, please think twice!"

Du Juan said to Huang Wan'er.

Huang Wan'er looked at Du Juan and said, "Du Juan, go now."

"what?"

Du Juan looked at Huang Wan'er, and Huang Wan'er said, "I will give you freedom. There are two thousand taels of silver in the box over there. Take it, leave Mianshui County, and live a good life somewhere where no one can find you."

"Oh, madam, please don't drive me away, I want to follow you!"

Huang Wan'er said: "You are right, this child will kill me, but I can't live without him, and I understand your fear, so please leave, leave this place, and I will give you the freedom you want!"

"No, no ma'am, I don't want freedom, I don't want freedom, I just want to follow you, I..."

Huang Wan'er looked at her and said, "Be obedient. If you follow me, you will most likely be implicated. You'd better leave. I'm pregnant for another four months, or even three months, and I may not be able to hide it anymore. By then, you will be implicated. Leave me and live the life you like."

Huang Wan'er said slowly to Du Juan. Du Juan heard this and said, "Madam, no, let me serve you. In your current situation, if you change a maid, you will definitely be discovered in advance. I will serve you for at least three months. Within three months, no one will find out. I will arrange everything."

Huang Wan'er was silent, and Du Juan said, "Madam, please."

Huang Wan'er said: "He will die."

Du Juan said: "I'm not afraid!"

Huang Wan'er looked at Du Juan and said, "Two months. You can stay with me for two months at most. After two months, you must leave!"

Du Juan heard this and said, "Madam."

"This is an order!"

Huang Wan'er looked at Du Juan, then sat back on the cushion and picked up a Buddhist scripture.

After hearing this, Du Juan kowtowed and said, "Madam, if you let me go, I will listen to you, but Madam, you still have to tell Master Chen that you are pregnant."

"Tell him what to do?"

Huang Wan'er was reading the Buddhist scriptures without looking up. Du Juan said, "He, he is the father of the child!"

Huang Wan'er said: "It doesn't matter. He will have many children in the future, but this child is mine. I want to protect him!"

Du Juan wanted to say something, but Huang Wan'er said, "If you dare to tell Chen Lang about this, leave here immediately. I don't need you to serve me anymore."

"Ma'am, I, I won't tell."

Dujuan lowered her head.

Huang Wan'er continued reading the scriptures, her hand unconsciously touching her lower abdomen, "My child, I have to protect him myself."

……

Drive, drive, drive...

Chen Jie and his party rushed back to Baihu Hall quickly. As soon as he arrived at Baihu Hall, he saw Zhou Chu waiting for him.

Chen Jie looked at Zhou Chu and said, "Old Zhou, what's the matter?"

Zhou Chu said: "Master, look."

Chen Jie looked over and saw colorful glass in Zhou Chu's hand.

“Why are there so many impurities?”

Chen Jie looked at the glass in Zhou Chu's hand and asked, "As a time traveler, aren't salt, glass, and soap things that should be invented?"
The sale of granulated salt has already begun, and the profit from purifying salt is also considerable.

Apart from salt, the next thing is glass. The simplest way to make glass is to burn sand at high temperature.

If you want to purify it, you need to add substances such as soda ash.

This secret workshop has already been established and is currently located in the inner courtyard of the White Tiger Hall, and is counted as the sixth part.

As mentioned before, the inner courtyard of the White Tiger Hall is divided into three rooms and five departments, including the accounting office, logistics room, and guard department.

There are also five other departments, namely: Kitchen Department, Eunuch Department, Foreign Service Department, Flower Department, and Horse and Carriage Department, and now a Craftsman Department has been added.

The Artisan Department is currently researching two items, cement and glass.

Cement is currently only in the project establishment stage, and there is no increase in research and development efforts, because Chen Jie does not need to fight a war at present. If a war is needed, this kind of cement will be a secret weapon for quickly building walls and fortresses, and it can be considered a strategic material.

Therefore, the project was just established but not used.

Another thing is glass. Chen Jie is planning to increase his efforts in the research and development of glass, and his purpose is to make money.

There is a substance very similar to glass in this era, called glaze.

The relationship between glass and colored glaze is like the difference between artificial diamonds and natural diamonds, in that the difference cannot be detected by the naked eye.

But colored glaze was very expensive in that era.

Its value is even on the same level as gems, or even more expensive than gems.

Chen Jie needs money to reform his gang, and colored glass is a great treasure. Especially after he masters the technology, he can make many high-end colored glass products in the future.

One piece can be sold at a sky-high price.

Before Chen Jie had absolute power, he was not going to make his glass technology public, let alone make the glass into civilian products or sell them as glass mirrors.

Although this is very profitable, it is easy to be targeted by others, and one's own strength cannot withstand the oppression of power.

Therefore, Chen Jie plans to go for the high-end route and produce a small number of rare glass products. When the time comes, whether they are given as gifts or sold at a high price, they will all be excellent.

In addition, glass has strong military value.

For example, making a telescope.

You should know that this telescope was called a clairvoyance in that era. It was said that the Mulan royal family had two of them. They were treasures that were tributed by a small country after the Tian Khan invaded Europe.

It’s very precious!

Such treasures play a very important role in the military.

After all, even for a martial artist with Hua Jin, it is impossible to see things clearly a thousand meters away with the naked eye, but a telescope can.

In other words, even if there are masters of Hua Jin in the opposing team, if your side has a telescope, you can still detect them in advance. This is the power of the telescope.

But why does the glass Zhou Chu gave himself have so many impurities and is colorful?

Chen Jie asked Zhou Chu, "Is this what the craftsman made in the workshop? Why are there so many colors? Isn't there any transparent one?"

"Transparent? Do you mean the kind that lets light through?"

Zhou Chu asked Chen Jie, and Chen Jie said, "Yes."

Zhou Chu thought for a moment, then reached into his pocket and said, "There's one. Take a look."

Zhou Chu handed it to Chen Jie. Chen Jie took a look and saw that it was a piece of yellowish transparent glass. However, it was too yellow and there were still impurities in it!
Zhou Chu said: "This is too yellow. Single-color colored glass is obviously not as beautiful as this colorful one. The craftsman workshop wants to make more colorful glass in the future. It can be made into many beautiful ornaments and sold at a high price."

After hearing this, Chen Jie looked at Zhou Chu and asked, "Where did this yellow glass come from?"

Zhou Chu said: "It was made by a newly recruited migrant craftsman."

"Refugee?"

Chen Jie looked at Zhou Chu, and Zhou Chu said, "Today, the Yellow River is flooding. Many counties in Shanxi and Shaanxi have suffered disasters. The court did not provide relief, so many people fled."

Chen Jie said, "Find me the craftsman who made the yellow transparent glass, and I'll talk to him."

Chen Jie was very curious. With so many craftsmen working hard, all they produced were colorful glasses full of impurities. Only this craftsman made yellow transparent glass. This craftsman was very special.

Chen Jie wanted to meet him.

Soon Zhou Chu recruited the craftsman.

"I've met the hall master."

The person who came in was a young man who was about twenty years old. He was wearing the clothes of the craftsmen of Baihutang, but he had a cow-heart hair bun on his head, which was the way Taoists comb their hair.

Chen Jie looked at the young man and asked, "Did you make this yellow translucent glass?"

The young man said, "That's me."

Chen Jie asked, "Other people make colorful colored glass, why do you choose to make this single color, transparent colored glass?"

After hearing this, the young man said, "Master, this colored glaze is originally a natural thing. You actually thought of a way to make it. This is unheard of. It can be said to be a work of God. I admire you."

"But it would be a waste of resources to use this kind of magic only as an ornament."

"Students believe that the greatest use of this item is in the military!"

"Oh?"

It was the first time that Chen Jie met someone in this world who said that this colored glaze should be used in military affairs.

Chen Jie looked at him and asked, "Why do you think so?"

The young man said, "Master, do you know that Westerners once presented a clairvoyance to the Emperor of Daqian? Everything within a dozen miles can be seen clearly with this clairvoyance. If someone can detect the enemy's movements from a distance of a dozen miles or even dozens of miles during a war, what a huge advantage that would be!"

"Sun Tzu said: 'If you know your own strengths, you will not be in danger in a hundred battles. If you anticipate the enemy in advance, how can you not win?'"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie immediately felt that this young man was interesting. His vision was much higher than that of people of this era.

Thinking of this, Chen Jie looked at the young man and said, "That's a good idea. Do you think this yellow translucent glass can be used to make a clairvoyant?"

The young man said: "No, I'm afraid it will require purer colored glass."

"So do you think you can make this kind of glass?"

The young man said, "It should be possible. The hall master has actually given a lot of hints. This is just adding some soda ash and the substances I am considering. If you give me some time and some money to buy materials and slowly experiment, I think I can definitely make glass without any impurities, as white and translucent as crystal!"

After hearing this, Chen Jie said, "Okay, how much do you want?"

The young man thought for a moment and said, "Three, three hundred taels?"

Chen Jie laughed out loud after hearing this and said, "I'll give you one thousand taels, and you make transparent colored glaze for me. If you can do it, I'll give you credit for your contribution!"

"One, one thousand taels?"

The young man had probably never seen such a large amount of money before, and he stuttered a little.

Chen Jie looked at him and asked, "Do you need help?"

The young man said, "I can do it alone."

Chen Jie said to Xiao Hu, "Go find Si Xi."

"Hey."

Xiao Hu responded, and soon Si Xi rushed over. When he saw Chen Jie, he clasped his fists and said, "Master."

Si Xi had obviously lost a lot of weight, but his spirit was much better and he was more stable than before.

In the past six months, Si Xi has gone through the initial discomfort and was walking on thin ice, but now he has become adept at logistics work, and he has discovered that Chen Jie seems to accept him sincerely.

They would not target him specifically just because he used to be Feng Xuan's subordinate.

Moreover, under the leadership of Chen Jie, the entire White Tiger Hall did not have any aversion to him. He even had a very good relationship with Xiaohu and Zhou Chu, and they cooperated well with each other.

Gradually, he began to regard himself as a member of the White Tiger Hall.

He was also willing to offer his loyalty.

At present, Chen Jie is also very satisfied with him and accepts him sincerely. As long as you are truly loyal to me, let the previous unpleasantness go with the wind.

After spending a long time with Su Yunjin, the phrase I learned the most is: "Husband, Zhou Gong spits out food for his guests, and the whole world is at peace!"

Ok!

Zhougong spit and feed, and the world is home.

Chen Jie thought about it, looked at Si Xi and said, "Go and dispatch two smart logistics personnel to follow him and obey his orders."

"Yes, Hall Master."

Si Xi responded, and Chen Jie said, "You go and do your work first. By the way, Hu Zi."

Chen Jie called out "Hu Zi", and then took out a rosewood box from behind. When he opened it, he found a bone-strengthening pill inside.

Chen Jie smiled and said to Si Xi: "Si Xi, this bone strengthening pill is for you. You have worked hard in the past six months."

"Ah, Hall Master."

Si Xi was stunned when he saw the bone-strengthening pill. After all, even Feng Xuan was reluctant to give him such a good thing. However, he had been following Master Chen for only half a year and already received such a reward. It was simply!
Si Xi knelt on the ground and said, "Master, how can I be worthy of such a precious medicine? Please don't waste it on a useless person like me."

Chen Jie smiled and said, "Si Xi, you and I are old acquaintances. It was you who pulled me into Mianshui County in a carriage back then. Although you did some bad things with Feng Xuan, people always make mistakes. You have worked diligently in the past six months, and we have seen everything you have done."

"This bone strengthening pill is what you deserve. Besides, you are the chief steward of the White Tiger Hall, but you are still at the Willow Tendon Realm. It's embarrassing to tell others about it, right, Xiaohu?"

Hearing this, Xiao Hu smiled and said, "Yes, Brother Sixi, take it."

Zhou Chu also smiled and said, "Take it. If you follow the hall master, you will suffer losses."

"Take it."

Si Xi looked at Chen Jie again, moved with tears streaming down his face, and said, "Master, I, Si Xi, swear that if I ever change my ways in this life, I will be struck by five thunderbolts, and let me..."

"OK OK."

Chen Jie patted Si Xi's shoulder and said, "Alright, some things should be kept in your heart, no need to speak them out. I and everyone else trust you. Alright, go back and practice seclusion to refine this pill. When you enter the Iron Bone Realm, my brothers and I will celebrate for you."

"Thank you, Master."

Si Xi clasped his fists, his eyes full of tears, and it was obvious that he was truly moved. Zhou Chu accompanied Si Xi downstairs.

At this time, Chen Jie saw the young man beside him and smiled: "Don't worry, if you make the transparent colored glass, you will have all the elixirs and treasures. My White Tiger Hall has always been a place where people are selected based on their talents, and we will never be partial to one person over another."

After hearing this, the young man said, "I don't really care about elixirs or treasures. If I can make something good one day, I only need the hall master to give me some more money so that I can continue my research."

Chen Jie looked at him and said, "I don't ask for elixirs or treasures, but this world is based on martial arts, and martial arts is based on elixirs. If you don't ask for elixirs, how can you break through your cultivation? If you can't break through your cultivation, how can you gain strength?"

The young man asked, "Boss, what is the reason why humans are different from animals?"

Chen Jie asked, “What is it?”

The boy said, "It's a tool. Humans can use tools, which is why they are different from animals. That's why I always think that humans can use tools to reach the level of today's martial arts masters, or even be stronger than them."

Chen Jie looked at the young man in shock. It was really strange that there were still people in this world who believed that tools could defeat martial arts.

You have to know that normal people don't believe that tools can defeat martial arts. After all, the strength of a martial arts master is much more powerful than bows and arrows, swords and guns.

A mere Iron Bone Realm expert can break a monument with one palm, which shows how powerful the martial arts in this world is.

However, the development of tools in this world is still insufficient.

The young man said: "Martial arts are stronger than tools because there are many people learning martial arts, one person is stronger than the other, and the later generations are stronger than the previous ones. It is passed down from generation to generation, so our martial arts can reach this level."

"But the evolution of tools is very slow, because tools cannot improve people quickly, so people are unwilling to research them. But as long as they are willing to research, they can definitely become stronger."

"It's like gunpowder!"

"Ok?"

Chen Jie looked at the boy and asked, "You also study gunpowder?"
The boy said, "Yes, I just don't understand why such a powerful thing must be used to light fireworks. If it is used to kill people, it will definitely have a greater effect. Besides, I have always had a dream."

Chen Jie looked at him and said, "What? Researching gunpowder?"

The young man said, "Master, do you know that there is a strange book called "Youyang Miscellaneous Notes" in the Tang Dynasty, which says that there are people living on the moon and on the stars in the sky."

Chen Jie asked, "Is there such a record?"

Xiao Hu said, "There are people living on the moon. I know that. Doesn't Chang'e live on the moon?"

Chen Jie didn't say anything after hearing this. The young man said, "I don't know. We can only find out by going up and taking a look."

"Um, do you still want to go up and take a look?" The young man said, "Yes, I want to go up and take a look. I thought of many ways, but in the end, only one method could be realized."

"what?"

Chen Jie was also curious about what was going on in the boy's mind. At this time, the boy immediately asked, "Master, can you give me a pen and paper?"

After hearing this, Chen Jie waved his hand and said, "Get some paper and pen."

After he finished speaking, a maid immediately brought paper and pen. Chen Jie handed the paper and pen to the young man and said, "Here you go."

At this time, the boy took a pen and drew a chair on the paper, then drew rockets on the legs of the chair, and then drew a few balloons on the chair.

Chen Jie didn't quite understand. At this time, the young man said, "Master, look, all you need is a chair, aim it at the moon, and then tie various rockets to the legs of the chair, and then hang some Kongming lanterns on the chair. When the time comes, just light the rocket below, and the gunpowder inside will take me into the sky. Then, when I'm in the air and about to reach the moon, I'll light this huge Kongming lantern, and I'll be able to fly in the sky, and even fly to the moon!"

"Forehead?"

Chen Jie was confused. Manned space flight, not manned moon landing, right?

And why does this plan seem so familiar? It seems like I have seen similar operations in history textbooks?

Thinking about this, Chen Jie looked at the young man and said, "Your last name isn't Wan, is it?"

The young man was stunned and looked at Chen Jie and said, "My surname is not Wan, my surname is Tao, my name is Guangyi. I once went up the mountain to seek the Tao, but unfortunately I failed and had to go down the mountain. Then I encountered a disaster and fled here. The master wants to find someone with the surname Wan."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie murmured in his heart, Tao Guangyi?
"Oh, no, I just thought your plan was similar to one conceived by someone I know, so I asked."

"Oh, there are people like me in this world, who are they?"

Chen Jie said: "Oh, it's a friend named Wan Hu, his plan is almost exactly the same as yours."

"Wan Hu?"

When the young man heard the name, he murmured, he never thought that there was someone in the world who had the same dream as him, he wished he could talk with this person all night long.

Ten thousand households!

Chen Jie was also murmuring at this time. Although the plan of this first Chinese astronaut in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty was ridiculous and he was even blown to death in the end, his spirit was still commendable.

And this Tao Guangyi's plan is exactly the same as his. He is also a talent and should be trained intensively.

In fact, Chen Jie fell into a misconception.

It was also related to his lack of solid historical knowledge. He didn't know that the man who wanted to land on the moon at the end of the Yuan Dynasty was not actually called Wan Hu.

His real name was Tao Guangyi. Later, he led his people to surrender to Zhu Yuanzhang and helped Zhu Yuanzhang study artillery. Only then did Zhu Yuanzhang have the opportunity to build the Shenjiying and achieve dominance.

Zhu Yuanzhang was so pleased that he gave him the name Chengdao and granted him the title of Wanhu.

Therefore, later generations often called him Wanhu, and after a long time everyone thought that Wanhu was a person's name, but in fact Wanhu was his official title.

Therefore, it was completely nonsense for Chen Jie to ask him if he knew a man named Wan, because at that time, Wan Hu was just a poor disaster victim who had failed to seek the truth and had only a lot of ambitions.

However, Chen Jie knew that in this era, it was extraordinary that he had such vision.

Although his plan to land on the moon sounds ridiculous, his scientific research spirit is commendable.

Chen Jie looked at the young Tao Guangyi and said, "Tao Guangyi."

"My subordinate is here."

Tao Guangyi clasped his fists and said, "First, you study this transparent colored glaze carefully. When the research is successful, I will promote you to the position of manager of the craftsman workshop. If you want to study gunpowder, I will also give you financial support, how about that!"

"Ah, really?"

Tao Guangyi's eyes widened and he looked at Chen Jie expectantly. Chen Jie smiled and patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I, Chen Jiusi, always keep my word."

"Thank you, Hall Master."

Tao Guangyi was taken away to concentrate on studying transparent glass. If he really made some progress in his research, Chen Jie also decided to give him a chance to study gunpowder.

Due to the prosperity of martial arts, the development of gunpowder was not smooth. Gunpowder has only two uses. The first is to make fireworks and firecrackers. The Han people are very experienced in this, especially in the pre-Song Dynasty. The types of fireworks were not much less than now, and they could also produce a variety of colors and patterns.

The other is artillery, but the function of artillery is not to kill the enemy, it is more used as a signal gun.

In addition, due to the prosperity of martial arts in the world, the effect of this cannon is very limited. Ordinary shrapnel can be used to deal with cultivators below the level of Dark Power. For cultivators above the level of Dark Power, as long as they are not hit directly by the cannon, they will basically not be injured.

The accuracy of artillery in this era was very poor.

Moreover, as long as one is above the Iron Bone Realm, even if one is hit by a shrapnel bomb, one will only be slightly injured.

As for Hua Jin, it is of no use at all, because masters of Hua Jin basically have inner energy to protect themselves, and are difficult to be hurt by artillery.

As for those above the level of Hua Jin, they are not afraid of any artillery.

But there is a prerequisite, that is, you have to have the ability to transform your energy.

However, Hua Jin is not something that can be found everywhere. There are less than twenty people with Hua Jin in the entire Mianshui County with a population of over 100,000. It can be seen that the appearance rate of Hua Jin is basically one in ten thousand.

In a normal army, there are still more ordinary soldiers, and those in the Skin Training Realm and the Flesh Training Realm are probably veterans of hundreds of battles.

And artillery is enough to deal with them,
Tao Guangyi is definitely a talented person. Perhaps other rulers of this era would find it difficult to understand his thinking, but as a modern person, Chen Jie can understand that this is just the simplest dream of a simple scientific researcher!

Chen Jie came from an era when the use of tools reached perfection, an era when humans gained invincible power with the help of tools.

In this world, martial arts are respected, so Chen Jie couldn't help but ask, the two top masters in this world, Zhang Sanfeng and Mulan National Master Bashiba Living Buddha, have extremely high cultivation levels, so I wonder how many nuclear bombs they can withstand?

Of course, these are all scientific fantasies. Tao Guangyi's brilliant ideas made Chen Jie's thinking begin to diverge.

But soon, Chen Jie woke up from this scientific fantasy.

Watching Tao Guangyi leave, Chen Jie looked at Xiaohu and asked, "What do you think of this guy?"

Xiao Hu said: "It's not a big deal, Hall Master, this person cannot be reused!"

"Oh, why?"

Chen Jie looked at Xiao Hu and asked. Xiao Hu heard this and said, "This person is full of nonsense. What about gunpowder, rockets, Kongming lanterns, and he even wants to go to the moon? It's just nonsense. I'm afraid this person has hysteria, right?"

After hearing this, Chen Jie looked at Xiao Hu and asked, "Is that how you think about him?"

Xiao Hu said, "How else can we think of him? Do we really believe that he can go to the moon?"

Chen Jie thought about it and agreed. Yes, Wan Hu in history was not successful either, but this kind of advanced thinking is worthy of recognition. Although this kind of thinking seems so out of place in this era and even sounds like rumors, geniuses are always lonely!

Moreover, he knew that Wan Hu's idea was correct and that humans could indeed land on the moon in the future, but his method was indeed a bit childish and he might not be able to fulfill his dream of flying in his lifetime.

But as long as you dare to dream, the future will eventually come true.

Moreover, this person is very knowledgeable about gunpowder. You should know that before he wanted to dream of flying, he had to solve the power problem, and the process of solving the power problem was actually the study of artillery.

artillery!

Chen Jie has an idea. In the future large-scale battles, it will definitely be a confrontation between martial arts masters and ordinary armies.

King versus king, general versus general, if you want to win, in addition to the top-level military victory, the bottom-level soldiers must also have strength.

In order to arm the low-level soldiers, Chen Jie knew two ways. One was formation, which could gain powerful combat power. The second was weapons.

At the level of ordinary people, artillery is definitely more powerful than ordinary swords.

Of course, these are just a prototype.

Chen Jie thought of this, looked at Xiao Hu and said, "Xiao Hu."

"exist."

"If Tao Guangyi wants to see me in the future, please report to me immediately."

"Ah, Hall Master, is this person so important?"

Chen Jie smiled and said, "If used well, it can be as powerful as an army of ten thousand people."

"Ah, so amazing?"

Chen Jie said: "He is not very powerful now, but if we extend the timeline, he will definitely be the most powerful."

Xiaohu didn’t understand, but it didn’t matter. He just knew that Chen Jie attached great importance to Tao Guangyi, and he needed to be more respectful and polite to Tao Guangyi in the future.

Chen Jie stretched and touched his stomach, feeling a little hungry. He turned to the maidservant behind him and asked, "Where's the Madam?"

After hearing this, the maid said, "Madam is teaching students in the school."

"Oh."

Chen Jie responded, and at this time in a separate courtyard in the backyard of Baihu Hall, the sound of reading could be heard.

I saw a spacious classroom with its doors and windows open, and more than thirty children were studying inside.

At this time, there was a blackboard at the front of the classroom. Su Yunjin was writing a line of words on the blackboard with chalk made of lime powder: [Confucius said: Learning and practicing it from time to time, is it not a pleasure? ]

Su Yunjin was wearing a white top today and a jade pendant around her waist, which was a gift from Chen Jie on her birthday this year. She was wearing a red skirt and red embroidered shoes.

She had her hair in a bun with a simple wooden hairpin inserted in it.

Although she now has many hairpins, whether made of gold, jade, or other styles, she doesn't like them. She only likes to wear a wooden hairpin.

The whole person appears simple, unpretentious and intellectual.

At this time, she held a half-broken piece of chalk in her hand and pointed to a line of words on the blackboard and said, "Come, let's review the Encouragement to Study that we learned yesterday. Everyone read together."

"The Master said:"

"The Master said: "To learn and to practise it from time to time is it not a pleasure? To have friends come from afar is it not a pleasure? To not be offended when people do not know you is not the sign of a gentleman. The Master said..."

Thirty children were reciting the Analects of Confucius, shaking their heads.

Su Yunjin looked at these half-grown children with great satisfaction. They were of different ages, and the youngest ones were sitting at three tables in the first row.

Among the three tables, the one sitting in the middle was the little kid Su Yunrui, and the one sitting on the left was a maid Yin Hongmei.

Sitting at the table on the right is a ten-year-old boy named Sun Yong.

His father was one of the six soldiers who fought with Xiaohu to protect Su Yunjin that day, but his father died in the battle.

In order to commend his father's loyalty and bravery, Chen Jie adopted him as his son and he is currently studying with Su Yunjin.

This child is very sensible and willing to learn, and Chen Jie likes him very much.

These people were studying, reciting the words of the sages seriously. Chen Jie appeared at the gate of the academy and stood there looking at these children.

As soon as these children saw Chen Jie, they immediately perked up and recited even more enthusiastically.

The parents of these children are all Chen Jie's subordinates. Before they came, many of them were indoctrinated with the idea that if they studied hard, they would be chosen by the hall master and have a bright future.

Therefore, everyone recited loudly at the top of their lungs as if they were injected with chicken blood.

Seeing the children like this, Su Yunjin was stunned as if he thought of something. He turned around and saw Chen Jie, and smiled helplessly. This was how the children looked every time they saw Chen Jie.

Even the little kid was infected and was reciting loudly at the top of his voice, fearing that his brother-in-law would not know that he could recite the Analects.

Only two people remained unmoved, one was Sun Yong and the other was Yin Hongmei. Both of them recited calmly.

Chen Jie looked at them and nodded secretly. These two people are indeed talented people that can be cultivated.

Just as he was thinking, Su Yunjin looked at the hourglass beside him and said, "Okay, it's almost time. Today's morning class is over. Let's have lunch and rest for half an hour, and continue in the afternoon."

After hearing this, a group of children immediately cheered.

Xiao Douding even rushed directly to Chen Jie: "Brother-in-law!"

Chen Jie picked up the little guy who had obviously grown taller and asked, "How is it going? How is your study going?"

"Haha, Ruirui is studying really hard. He knows a lot of words now."

After hearing this, Chen Jie said, "Well, is that so? Let the flight attendant test you to see if you are bragging or not."

"Hmph, just take the test casually."

The little bean pouted proudly.

Chen Jie turned to look at Su Yunjin and said, "My lady, thank you for your hard work."

Su Yunjin said, "It's not hard. Seeing these little guys learn so many things makes me very happy."

Su Yunjin really likes the profession of teaching, and since she started teaching, she has smiled more than before, and Chen Jie is also happy to see this.

"Father."

At this time, Sun Yong came to Chen Jie and bowed respectfully.

Chen Jie looked at the young man and said, "Yong'er is good. He studies very hard. How is your practice of the Taizu Changquan that I taught you?"

Sun Yong said: "I have become more proficient."

Chen Jie said: "Well, when you become proficient, help your classmates more."

"Yes, godfather, I understand."

Sun Yong said.

Su Yunjin said: "Yong'er is very cautious in his work, don't worry, husband."

Chen Jie said: "Well, I also believe in Yong'er. Although this Taizu Changquan is the foundation, it has its own unique way of laying the foundation."

As they were talking, a gong sounded outside, followed by a fat chef pushing a wooden cart. On the cart were large ceramic basins, each filled with food.

Chen Jie said: "Haha, I'm just hungry, let's have a meal in your school today."

As Chen Jie was speaking, the students took out their own wooden plates, which were Chen Jie's invention.

Chen Jie also went over and took a wooden plate, then lined up in front of the chef. Chen Jie wanted to take a look at the meals in his school.

I have to say the food is pretty good.

Cabbage stewed with tofu, and there is even pork belly in it.

Stir-fried vegetables with minced meat.

Meatballs.

Two mixed flour steamed buns per person.

To be honest, the food here is better than what Chen Jie's gang eats.

No wonder many gang members have recently asked others when this school will start recruiting students. It seems they are all here for the food.

Chen Jie looked at Su Yunjin and said, "Madam, this food is good."

Su Yunjin smiled and said, "My husband, you have allocated three thousand taels of silver, and I don't want any wages. The tables and chairs in the school were also obtained by Si Xi, and he didn't ask for money. The only money left is for books and food, so the food expenses are naturally better."

After hearing this, Chen Jie said, "Well, no matter how hard life is, we can't let the children suffer."

After saying that, Chen Jie looked at Su Yunjin and said, "My wife, you are so tired and thin."

Su Yunjin blushed when she heard this and said, "Husband, don't talk nonsense in front of the children."

Chen Jie smiled and said, "Yes, Mr. Su."

"Sir" is a respectful title for teachers, and is used by both men and women.

Chen Jie ate quite comfortably, probably because the hall master's wife was the teacher herself, or maybe because the money for the school was indeed provided.

The meals prepared by the cooks were rich in oil and fat.

The gang members all ate with their mouths full of grease and happy expressions on their faces.

Chen Jie likes to see children’s happy smiles.

This way he will feel that his efforts are meaningful.

Chen Jie always remembered a saying: when you are poor, you should take care of yourself; when you are rich, you should help the world. When Chen Jie was weak, he could only feed and clothe himself and his family. Now that he has the ability, he has begun to try to feed and clothe everyone he can protect!

Why do you want to be an emperor? Isn’t it because this world is too hard?
Chen Jie wants to be a superior person, but he doesn't want to be the superior of a group of beggars. What he wants to be is a wise and enlightened monarch of a great country with a booming economy!
And these children are the seeds that I have sown.

This small White Tiger Hall within the fishing gang of Mianshui County is where he has established his roots!
I believe that these arrangements of his will benefit more people one day as his status rises!

However, to achieve this, Chen Jie's current position is far from enough.

And many people will not let Chen Jie realize his dream easily.

Chen Jie was eating cabbage stewed with tofu, listening to the children's dreams and chatting with them. At this time, Xiaohu rushed in from outside and whispered in Chen Jie's ear: "Master, someone from the main hall is coming. Nan Batian is going to hold a meeting of hall masters. I'm notifying you to go there quickly."

"Oh?"

After hearing this, Chen Jie glanced at Xiaohu, then finished the food in the bowl in a few bites and stood up.

Su Yunjin asked with some concern: "Husband, is there any problem?"

Sun Yong and the others also looked at Chen Jie: "Adoptive father."

Facing everyone's worried looks, Chen Jie said, "Haha, it's okay. Eat well, and come help me when you have learned the skills."

After saying that, Chen Jie turned to Xiao Hu and said, "Call up fifty White Tiger Guards and follow me."

"Yes."

Xiaohu responded and immediately ran to count the people.
