The moment he entered the house.
Xu You frowned because he did not see Chen Kun's figure. Could it be that Chen Kun was toying with him?
But very quickly.
His brows relaxed.
He saw a thin figure standing by the window with his hands behind his back, as if he was looking at the distant sky.
Xu You didn't disturb him and just watched quietly.
After a long time, he seemed to have noticed Xu You's arrival. He turned around and smiled like a spring breeze.
"The Lord County Magistrate is here?"
Xu You smiled.
"Xu You greets Master Chen!"
The smile on Chen Kun's face grew even wider. He pointed to a chair made of golden nanmu and said,"Lord County Head, please sit."
Xu You did not stand on ceremony.
He lifted his robe and sat down on the chair.
See Xu You sitting down.
Chen Kun was also seated at the main seat.
" The County Lord has just taken office," Chen Kun said." He's not busy dealing with government affairs. Why do you have the time to visit my Chen family?"”
Xu You picked up a cup of tea that had already been brewed and took a sip.
"The Chen Clan is the most renowned clan in this county, and the Chen Clan Head is very famous in Ji County. This one has just arrived, so I've come to pay my respects."”
Chen Kun chuckled.
He did not speak.
Seeing this, Xu You did not feel awkward.
He continued,"Everyone says that the Chen Family Head is young and promising. Seeing him today, he really lives up to his reputation."”
"Lord County Lord, you're too serious. At your age, you're already a seventh-grade county magistrate. Compared to Lord County Lord, I'm much inferior.”
Xu You naturally wouldn't take this sentence seriously.
He waved his hand.
He shook his head and laughed.
Thinking of the purpose of his trip to the Chen family today, he reached into his sleeve and fumbled around. He took out a bright yellow official document and handed it to Chen Kun.
"Lord Chen, this is the official document that the County Governor asked me to pass to you."”
Chen Kun raised his eyebrows.
He took the document with both hands and unfolded it. It was a letter of appointment for a county captain.
However, the name was blank.
Chen Kun instantly understood.
This was the fulfillment of the promise made by the chief historian of the county.
This chief historian was a kind person and did things beautifully.
He received the appointment letter from the county captain.
Chen Kun was in a good mood.
He said to Xu You with a pleasant expression,"I'm really sorry to have to trouble the County Lord to personally deliver it to me.”
"Chen Clan Leader is too polite. It was nothing.”
"Yes."
"Lord Chen, the Chen family is the leader of the noble families of this county and has a high prestige in Ji County. This Xu is new here and is unfamiliar with the people here.”
When Chen Kun heard this, his eyes revealed a surprised expression.
This Xu You was quite interesting.
He laughed.
He said,"I, Chen Family, dare not say that I am the head of this county's aristocratic family. However, as long as the county lord commands me, my Chen Family will do our best."”
These words were somewhat true and somewhat false.
The two of them were clear in their hearts.
Another round of idle chat.
An hour later.
Xu You stood up and said,""I still have important matters to attend to, so I won't disturb the Chen Clan Leader. In the future, if I have time, I will pay a visit.”
"It is my Chen family's honor to have the County Lord here. How can I disturb you?" My Chen family's door will always be open to the county lord. The county lord has important matters to attend to, so I can't ask him to stay any longer.”
After saying that, he shouted towards the door.
"Men."
A guard walked in and said respectfully,""Patriarch!"
"Send the county lord off for me." Chen Kun instructed.”
"Yes, Patriarch."
"County Lord, please!"
The guard said to Xu You.
Xu You smiled.
"We'll meet again in the future, Lord Chen."”
Chen Kun nodded.
Xu Jie strode away and soon disappeared from Chen Kun's sight.
After Xu Jie left.
Chen Kun shook his head and smiled. He muttered,"This new County Lord is not simple. Hehehe, I hope you know what's good for you. Otherwise..." Haha."
An ominous glint flashed across his eyes.
He glanced at the county captain appointment form in his hand. The long history column was not filled in. It was obvious that he wanted him to fill it in.
Whoever filled in the name would be the new county captain of Ji County.
The cart of gifts was not for nothing.
Chen Kun thought to himself.
However, who should be the county captain of Ji County?
He definitely wouldn't do it himself because it would be too demeaning. Moreover, if he became a county captain, wouldn't he become a subordinate of the county magistrate in name?
He thought for a long time.
Chen Kun finally thought of a suitable candidate for the county captain.
His eyes darkened as he said to the door,""Call Chen Yongchuan over."
"Yes, Patriarch."
Soon, Chen Yongchuan rushed over.
When he saw Chen Kun, he said respectfully,""Patriarch."
Chen Kun hummed softly.
"Yongchuan, I have an important task for you. I wonder if you dare to take it."”
Chen Yongchuan heard this.
He did not hesitate at all.
"If the family head has an order, why wouldn't Yongchuan dare? Even if I have to climb a mountain of knives or go into a pot of oil, Yongchuan will not frown.”
Chen Kun waved his hand.
"It's not as scary as you say. Come, take a look at this."”
He threw the appointment letter in his hand to Chen Yongchuan.
Chen Yongchuan hurriedly took it.
When he saw the contents, he was shocked.
He wasn't a fool, so he instantly understood what Chen Kun meant.
He said in disbelief,"Master, do you mean to let me be the county captain?"”
Chen Kun nodded.
Chen Yongchuan took a deep breath.
"Family Head, Yongchuan's talent is shallow, I'm afraid he can't take up the position of county captain."”
Chen Kun scoffed.
He said," Why? Didn't someone say that he wouldn't frown even if he went through a mountain of knives or a sea of fire? Why is it that a mere county captain's position scares you now?"”
Chen Yongchuan heard this.
He shook his head repeatedly.
"This is different."
"What's the difference? I made you a county captain because I believe in you. There's nothing I can't do. With my Chen family backing you up, you don't have to worry!”
He raised his chin.
"Yongchuan, you have to know that in Ji County, my Chen family is the sky!" he said confidently.”
It was as if Chen Kun's self-confidence had affected him.
Chen Yongchuan no longer had any qualms.
He cupped his fists and said,"If the Patriarch asks me to do it, I will do it. I will not disappoint the Patriarch."”
Chen Kun laughed.
He patted Chen Yongchuan's shoulder and encouraged him,""I believe in your ability."
Then, before Chen Yongchuan could speak.
Chen Kun continued," Although Ji County used to have a county captain, it was only in name. It didn't even have a single soldier. Now that you're the county captain, it can't be the same as before."”
He stood up.
As he walked, he said,"The county captain has two thousand soldiers. After you take office, immediately recruit soldiers and buy horses."”
"But quality is more important than quantity. I think you know the principle of quality over quantity.”
"You can choose a clansman from the clan to be an officer in the army. You must guarantee that the soldiers of Ji County will always be in the hands of our Chen Clan.”
Chen Yongchuan nodded.
"I'll remember what the family head said. Yongchuan promised the family head that these county soldiers are the Chen family's county soldiers, not the imperial court's county soldiers!”
Such disgraceful words came out of Chen Yongchuan's mouth.
Chen Kun did not care at all.
Chen Kun did not fear the so-called imperial court at all.
In this world where the strong preyed on the weak, fists were king!
Fists were power, and fists were power.
Power was power.
As long as his fist was big enough, even the so-called high and mighty emperor would have to grovel at his feet!
