286 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 given an injection of 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.
"Godfather."
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 of which was 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.
These gang members also ate with their mouths full of oil and happy glow 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 eyes, 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.
?The drama is about to begin
??

Chapter 154 Nan Batian: Chen Jiusi, do you still take me seriously?
The headquarters of the fishing gang!
Located in the most prosperous West City Yongsheng Street and Angu Street in Mianshui County!
Covering an area the size of two White Tiger Halls and spanning two streets, it is the third largest building complex in Mianshui County!
The largest one is the Darughachi Palace, the second is the county government, and the third would be the headquarters of the fishing gang.
The headquarters of the fishing gang not only occupies a large area, but also has very strict security. Nan Batian has his own private guards, a total of eighteen people, known as the Eighteen Vajras.
Each of them is at the Liujin realm or above, and the chief and deputy leaders are even at the Tiegu realm.
However, as Nan Batian's guards, they seldom fought, because as the most powerful person in Mianshui County, almost no one dared to attack Nan Batian.
Therefore, the chief and deputy leaders are mostly just decorations and rarely have the opportunity to fight.
Nan Batian didn't care much about this, because he was absolutely confident in his own strength. He believed that he could solve any problem with his own strength.
Therefore, these guards are stationed at the fishing gang's headquarters for guard duty all year round.
In fact, Chen Jie has become very familiar with the headquarters recently, because he comes here two or three times a month.
He did this on purpose, and it was what Nan Batian wanted to see, and it was also what Darughachi wanted to see.
Yelu plays a game of checks and balances, and the White Tiger Hall is a bargaining chip in his hand. No matter which side, Nan Batian or Liu Laoguai, is slightly stronger, he will use Chen Jie to adjust the balance.
For example, in the Feng Xuan incident half a year ago, the relationship between Chen Jie and Nan Batian almost reached a freezing point. If it had passed this freezing point, they would have become enemies.
Therefore, after the inauguration banquet, Yelu tipped off Chen Jie, asking him to cooperate with Nan Batian in the future and not to be too confrontational. He should ease the relationship between the two and remember that the White Tiger Hall was still a subordinate hall of the Fisherman's Gang.
What does this mean?
Chen Jie understood that Nan Batian had been too passive recently, and Old Monster Liu of the Cao Gang had also reaped the benefits recently. The balance in Yelu's hand was unbalanced again, so he had to find a balance again.
What you said, Chen Jie and Nan Batian have a bad relationship.
Sorry, it doesn't matter. In Yelu's eyes, Chen Jie is just a chess piece he helped up. Chess pieces cannot have the right to speak. You have to be obedient. If you don't, I can use the power of the entire county to remove you from Mianshui.
Not convinced?
This is power. Although Chen Jie has climbed up a social ladder from an ordinary citizen to the leader of the White Tiger Hall who can decide the life and death of many people, he is still a pawn in the hands of people at a higher level.
Not only him, but everyone is a pawn of people at a higher level. This is fate, and this is the rule of the game in this world.
Unless you can climb higher, to the point where no one can control you.
And Chen Jie is climbing towards this supreme position!
Only by becoming the Supreme can he get rid of the identity of a chess piece and become a chess player, the one who controls the world.
