Chapter 262 Huge Rewards
Chen Dao looked at the young men who were hesitant, but he was not displeased at all, nor did he blame them for being cowardly. After all, they were just ordinary children from farming families, and not everyone had the courage to pick up a knife and fight to the death.
"Alright! That's all I wanted to say!"
Chen Dao finally said, "You can go back and discuss it with your families. If you want to join the guard team, then come and report to Cheng Ge'er tomorrow morning."
After saying that, Chen Dao dispersed the villagers and told them to go back to their respective jobs.
"Brother Chen."
After everyone left, Wu Han smiled and said to Chen Dao, "You really went all out!"
Wu Han had just clearly heard Chen Dao say that he would do his best to train all 20 members of the guard team to become martial artists.
What does 20 martial artists mean?
Even the Yuan family, once the most powerful family in Taiping County, might not have 20 martial artists. But Chen Dao plans to train more martial artists than the Yuan family in one go. This is quite a feat!
If Chen Dao really succeeds, I'm afraid this Chen Family Village will...
They can immediately rise to become the number one power in Taiping County!
"It's just an experiment for the safety of the village!"
Chen Dao waved his hand and asked, "Brother Wu, what goods did you bring this time?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Han glanced at the direction of his truck and said as if reciting a familiar story, "As per your request, Brother Chen, I have brought over a large amount of grain, as well as salt, writing brushes, ink, paper, and other supplies."
After saying that, Wu Han couldn't help but ask, "Brother Chen, what do you plan to do with all this stuff?"
Wu Han could understand Chen Dao wanting to buy grain, and he could also understand Chen Dao wanting to buy writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones, since Chen Dao needed to provide food and education for the villagers of Chenjia Village. However, it was a bit strange that he wanted to buy large quantities of salt, soy sauce, and other supplies.
The salt, soy sauce, and cloth that Wu Han brought this time would probably last the Chen family for a year.
"I have my own uses."
Chen Dao smiled, but didn't offer any explanation to Wu Han.
Soon, Chen Dao began to count the goods with Wu Han. After about fifteen minutes, Chen Dao nodded and said, "Brother Wu, the total value of this shipment is 20 taels of silver, right?"
"That's the price."
Wu Han nodded without hesitation and then said, "Brother Chen, could you please exchange all 20 taels of silver for the corresponding yellow-feathered chickens?"
"no problem."
Chen Dao did a quick mental calculation and said, "20 taels of silver can buy a total of 66 yellow-feathered chickens, is that the right number?"
That's right, the price of yellow-feathered chickens has dropped again recently. Wu Han used to buy them from Chen Dao for 400 coins each, but now...
One costs only 300 coins.
This was almost an inevitable outcome!
The people of Taiping County weren't fools. As Wu Han transported more and more yellow-feathered chickens to the city to sell, his previous rhetoric that yellow-feathered chickens symbolized nobility was no longer effective. In addition, only a minority of people in the county could afford meat, so the yellow-feathered chickens had to be sold at a lower price.
Nowadays, Wu Han sells yellow-feathered chickens in the county town for between 400 and 500 wen. This price, relative to the weight of the chicken, is roughly equivalent to 57 to 71 wen per jin (500 grams) of meat. This price is acceptable to the wealthier people in the county town.
"That's right!"
Wu Han nodded in agreement.
Immediately, Chen Dao went to the backyard and asked Chen Lian to put one hundred old, no longer laying eggs yellow-feathered chickens into a chicken coop, and then handed them over to Wu Han.
"Brother Chen, shall I be going now?"
Having obtained the yellow-feathered chicken, Wu Han did not wish to stay any longer and planned to take his leave.
At this moment, Chen Dao suddenly spoke up: "Brother Wu, if you're free these next few days, you can come to our village to celebrate."
"celebrate?"
Wu Han asked in surprise, "What is there to celebrate?"
You can't...
Is it a celebration after defeating the thieves?
Chen Dao pointed south towards the farmland of Chenjia Village and said, "The wheat in our village will be harvested soon!"
"This is incredibly joyous news!"
Wu Han exclaimed with delight, "Brother Chen, don't worry, I definitely won't miss this opportunity!"
The wheat harvest in Chenjia Village is a joyous occasion for the village, and it is equally important for Wu Han!
because……
He can now transport more goods from Chenjia Village to the city to earn money!
"Then I'll be waiting for Brother Wu's return!"
Chen Dao smiled and said goodbye to Wu Han. After watching Wu Han leave, he returned to his own house.
Wu Han and his group, on the other hand, drove their donkey carts out of Chenjia Village and headed towards the county town.
"Brother-in-law."
After leaving Chenjia Village, Zhang Ming, who had been mostly silent in the village, suddenly spoke up: "This Chenjia Village is amazing! They wiped out over a hundred bandits in such a short time!"
When Zhang Ming left Chenjia Village, he saw the ground stained red at the village entrance. The blood flowing on the ground alone could indicate the number of thieves who had invaded Chenjia Village, confirming what Chen Shi had said earlier: the number of thieves who invaded Chenjia Village was indeed no less than one hundred!
"Yes, yes! When the thieves came into the village, I thought I was going to die. Who would have thought that Chen Family Village would be so powerful!"
"That Chen Cheng is truly a ruthless man! He killed so many people that his own clothes were stained red!"
"You bet! I was so scared when he came back just now!"
"..."
Zhang Ming's words seemed to open up a floodgate of conversation, with everyone expressing their shock.
They were terrified when they learned that bandits had entered the village, thinking they were doomed. Little did they expect...
The people of Chenjia Village were so powerful that Chen Cheng alone caused a bloodbath, wiping out over a hundred bandits!
"It's not that Chenjia Village is powerful, it's that Chendao is powerful!"
While correcting everyone, Wu Han recalled the rumors that had been circulating widely in the city recently.
According to that rumor, although Magistrate Xu was the mastermind behind the destruction of the Yuan family, the real force behind it was a young man surnamed Chen. Wu Han did not know who this young man surnamed Chen was before, but he vaguely guessed that it might be Chen Dao.
And now...
This guess has now been completely confirmed!
The surname is Chen, the boy is strong in martial arts, and he is on good terms with Magistrate Xu...
These keywords alone, combined with what we've seen today, are enough to determine who this young man surnamed Chen is.
"Young friend Chen is truly extraordinary!"
Wu Han couldn't help but sigh. When he first met Chen Dao, Chen Dao was just a thin farm boy. Out of sympathy for Chen Dao, he gave him some help without expecting anything in return!
But I never thought...
A single act of kindness, without any ulterior motive, yielded... such a tremendous reward!
This not only enabled Wu Han to live a wealthy life, but also made him valued by figures like the county magistrate, making him the number one person in Taiping County.
