Chapter 36 Preparation
Seeing that the resettlement of the hungry people in the field was in order, Chen Xun no longer stayed here to waste time.Ask Lu Hui to summon the personal guards in Chengjiazhuang to assemble at the Nanyuan Campus.

The personal guards of Chenjiazhuang are full-time professional soldiers. Although their status belongs to the servants of a wealthy family, their training and ideological education have far exceeded the various arms of other forces in this era.

The earliest veteran to join the Guards has been in the army for more than ten years!
At present, the total number of guards has reached 370, of which Han people from the north account for 500%, orphans from the south hospital account for [-]%, and relatives of the Chen clan account for [-]%.The number of other armed servants who belong to the reserve force is even greater, with the total number exceeding [-].

"Reporting to Sir, there are currently 260 personal guards in the village. There should be 260, but the actual number is 210."

"Enter!"

As Chen Xun's most trusted armed forces, some of the personal guards rotate around the country and abroad all year round to ensure that Chenjiazhuang's properties are under Chen Xun's control. They also lead the reserve armed servants to protect these properties.

"When the stream cloud rises at the beginning, the sun sinks into the pavilion, and the mountain rain is about to come, and the wind fills the building."

"Starting from today, Chenjiazhuang will enter a critical period of breaking out of the cocoon and becoming a butterfly. If it succeeds, it will get out of the predicament and regain its new life. If it fails, it will become a slave and a servant, and go away." Chen Xun said standing on the martial arts platform.

The guards below did not expect that there would be such explosive news in today's gathering, and some couldn't help but whisper!

"Quiet!" Lu Hui shouted.

The scene immediately became quiet again, but everyone was fully focused and listened carefully to Chen Xun's speech.

"This is the price you must bear if you want to grow. In this world, success has never been smooth sailing. Our Chenjiazhuang's previous small successes were all based on the losses of other overseas forces, such as those pirates who have perished. "

"Now if we want to break through the bottleneck that restricts the development of our Chenjiazhuang, we must fight against those forces that dare to stretch out their claws."

"This time our enemies are different from the past. In the past, we could punish those enemies overseas no matter what, but this time the enemies are officials who want the fruits of our Chen family's development."

Chen Xun paused for a while when he said this to let the guards below digest it.

"The outcome of the struggle may be good, or it may be very bad." He raised his hands to indicate the two outcomes.

"But we have no way out!"

"Look at the hungry people on the drying ground, look at their previous living conditions, and look at how the government treated them after they suffered."

"Are they thieves?"

"No! They are not! They are good people. Year after year, day after day, they cook sea salt, and all of it is handed over to the salt factory and to the Song Dynasty. With the little money they get, they even have enough to eat. Neither can."

"Wearing rags, being skinny, living in precarious conditions, and even after suffering, there is no relief. This is the result of not fighting."

"Which of you is willing to live such a life?" Chen Xun asked.

Regarding this issue, Chen Xun is very confident. The personal guards he has trained at a huge cost over the years are the team he trusts most, and he trusts them to choose the same path as him.

"I don't want to!" The impulsive guard immediately yelled.

“I don’t want to!” “I don’t want to!”….
Chen Xun pressed down with both hands.

"In recent years, everyone has the experience of rotating assistants overseas. We know that our Chen family is more than just Chenjiazhuang." Chen Xun continued: "But everyone should understand that Chenjiazhuang is the root of all external influences of the Chen family. Our factory They are all here, our relatives all live here, our homes are all here.”

"We can't give up here."

"So, starting from today, I ask you to be prepared to do whatever it takes to let those jackals understand that Chenjiazhuang is not fat, but a hedgehog covered with long thorns, a hard stone with sharp edges!" "No matter it is! Anyone who wants to have a taste of Chenjiazhuang must first be prepared to smash his teeth."

"Swear to defend Chenjiazhuang to the death!" Lu Hui shouted loudly.

"Swear to defend Chenjiazhuang to the death!"

"Swear to defend Chenjiazhuang to the death!" The other guards followed and swore loudly.

When Chen Fu came to the south courtyard, he happened to see this scene. For a moment, he doubted whether his decision was correct.

But looking at the more than 200 people on the campus, I couldn't help but shake my head. What could such a small number of people accomplish?

"Let's start training." Chen Xun waved his hand and dismissed the guards. He was about to go to the stables to take a look when he turned around and saw Chen Fu standing outside the school gate with a boy.

"Why is uncle back?" I was worrying about how to rescue him, but I didn't expect that he would come back by himself: "Where is aunt?"

"I'm the only one coming back this time." Chen Fu replied.

"It's just right. Don't leave when you come back. I'll send someone to bring my aunt back. It'll be safer to stay in Chenjiazhuang." Chen Xun was in high spirits. Chen Fu came back by himself and saved him a lot of trouble: "It just so happened that Chenjiazhuang planned to build a village wall. , you used to work as a clerk in the county government and have management experience, so I will leave this matter to you."

"Brother Xun, let's sit down and chat somewhere." Chen Fu did not answer.

Realizing that he was wishful thinking, Chen Xun calmed down.

The two of them came to the living room of Chen Xun's residence and had tea and snacks brought to them. After clearing the living room of other people, Chen Fu said: "I came back this time as entrusted by Zheng Yasi, and also to convey the message to County Magistrate Wang." the meaning of."

Chen Xun understood immediately that he was coming back to be a lobbyist.

"Oh?"

"Uncle, it's also for your own good. Chenjiazhuang's fight with the government is like an ant versus an elephant. It's better to surrender early and keep some family property." Chen Fu persuaded with sincerity: "Besides, you will have the protection of County Magistrate Wang in the future, so you won't have to do business." If you do business as secretly and openly as you do now, you will earn more, and the more points you earn, the more you earn. By then, the situation may be even better than the current situation."

Chen Fu didn't know, let alone the county magistrate, even the governor of Guangzhou couldn't help Chen Xun's overseas business.

For ships to go to sea, they rely on strength. Whoever has a stronger fist can make money. The law of the jungle is that the weak will eat the strong.

And if you don’t rely on shipping to make money, these businesses in Chenjiazhuang will not make much money, and they will either not be very competitive, or they will easily get into trouble.

The trouble this time was caused by "Jian Nanchun" wine. Currently, the only unique product sold by Chenjiazhuang on the mainland is Jiannanchun.

"Uncle really doesn't want to go back to Chenjiazhuang." Chen Xun asked again.

"What will I do when I come back? I'll be fine at the county government office."

"I haven't been back for a long time. The kitchen is cold and the stove is cold. Uncle, please come with me to the east courtyard. Father must have missed you too. I'll call my second uncle over again. We'll have some wine and food tonight so you can catch up on old times." Chen Xun He stood up directly and invited Chen Fu.

"Okay, let your father and second uncle advise you together. You are still young, and we can't watch you take detours."

"Let's go."
