Nowadays, Chaijia Town can be said to be the richest town in the Free Territory. Every family in Chaijia Town owns a carriage, which shows how rich Chaijia Town is. Some time ago, Chai Jiumu had bred silver-grade Yuanbao pigs, pushing the breeding industry in Chaijia Village to a peak. Secondly, in order to prevent the breeding industry from being too single, Chaijia Village began to popularize the breeding of poultry such as chickens, ducks, and geese, as well as the breeding of large livestock such as mules, donkeys, and cattle. With the rapid expansion of the agricultural base in the free land, the demand for large livestock is strong, and Chaijia Village The livestock industry is booming. At the same time, in the newly built meat processing plant, Xiaodangjia developed bacon on the basis of bacon. Now the bacon and bacon sold freely are sold well in the south of the Yangtze River through the opened trade routes, making hundreds of gold a day, and in Under the operation of Wei Sanniang, the scale is constantly expanding.
When Chai Jiumu heard that Qin Ge was coming, he went to the city overnight to hire a drum band and led tens of thousands of villagers to welcome him ten miles away with playing and playing! The Chai family was the first local clan to follow Qin Ge. With the rise of the Free Territory, the Chai family became the largest clan among the local clans in the Free Territory except the Qin family. Even the Man family where Man Chong lived and the Sun family where Sun Guan lived were both The Chai family is suppressed, but there is no way that the Chai family is now the richest clan in the Free Territory. I heard that the property is more than that of the Qin family! However, after the rise of the Chai family, they did not show any arrogance. Instead, they changed their ways to lean towards the Qin family. For example, when the Chai family traded ingot pigs with the Qin family, they gave the Qin family a 50% discount! In addition, Yuanbao pigs with copper grade and above are given priority to the Qin clan. Whenever there is a new policy in the territory, Chai Jiumu will be the first to stand up and lead Chaijia Town to fully support it! Nowadays, Chaijia Town is growing rapidly. Chai Jiumu’s grandson, Chai Rong, is a disciple accepted by Man Chong. He has been writing documents for Man Chong. Recently, Qin Ge arranged to go to the southern district of Bo County as Chen Yuan’s deputy to assist Chen Yuan in managing Bo County. Southern District of the County.
Seeing Chai Jiumu, who was dressed in brocade uniforms, he was more energetic than he had seen in half a year. Seeing such a formation, Qin Ge was speechless and stepped forward with a bitter smile: "Brother! What are you..."
Chai Jiumu was the first to kneel down and said: "Chai Jiumu leads the people of Chaijia Town to kowtow to the lord!" They all knelt on the ground in a huff. Seeing this, Qin Ge was moved in his eyes. He quickly stepped forward to support Chai Jiumu and said, "Brother! You are trying to hurt me!"
Looking at Qin Ge, Chai Jiumu held his arm tightly and said: "My lord led the soldiers on the front line and was bloody. I prayed to heaven day and night. I saw my lord today. I will die without regrets!"
Qin Ge was very moved and patted Chai Jiumu's hand and said: "Brother, you are serious, I can't bear it!" Chai Jiumu pulled Qin Ge and walked towards Chaijia Town. Now Chaijia Town is completely made of bricks. There are three major areas in Wafang, the breeding area, the residential area and the processing area. As the largest town under the control of the Free Territory, Chaijia Town is second only to the Free City in grandeur.
When Qin Ge first arrived, he saw a group of able-bodied children of the Chai family following Chai Jiumu. They were all full of energy, especially the leader, a young man of about fifteen years old, whose muscles looked like a cheetah!
Chai Jiumu noticed Qin Ge sizing up the younger members of the clan, and said to the young man behind him: "Chai Jin! Why don't you pay homage to the lord soon!" The young man knelt on one knee and said, "Chai Jin pays homage to the lord!"
Qin Ge helped Chai Jin up, patted his shoulders and said, "What a spirited young man! He joined the mainstream at a young age and has the power of an ox, not bad!"
Chai Jiumu looked at Chai Jin and said: "My lord, it is clear that our Chai family made a living by raising Yuanbao pigs in the past. In fact, our ancestors were separated from their families during the famine and were raised by monster wild boars in the mountains. Later, my Chai family was born! This child He is the grandson of my brother. He was separated from his family when he was young. He was discovered by his family members recently. I asked him about his experience. I didn’t expect that he was in the same situation as my ancestors. He was picked up by a wild boar when he was a child and raised by the wild boar. ! I used the secret method passed down from my ancestors to help him regain his intelligence! Since he grew up eating the milk of monsters, Chai Jin has awakened his martial spirit!"
Qin Ge looked at Chai Jin and smiled and said: "You are indeed talented! I see that you are well-proportioned and strong, and you are a good candidate for cavalry. You can train cavalry with General Qianzhao!" Chai Jin kowtowed with joy on his face: " Thank you, lord!"
Chai Jiumu wiped his tears and said: "Jin'er had a bad fate since he was a child. After he was lost, my brother was worried day and night. In the end, he was too worried and passed away. Now that he has been favored by the lord and can become a talent, I can also help him under Jiuquan. An explanation!”
Qin Ge looked at the younger generation of Chaijia Village. Although they were all teenagers under the age of fifteen (you can join the army at the age of 15), they were all very strong and brave. Qin Ge knew that because of the relationship between Chaijia Village and the Qin clan, After making good friends, the Qin family sent several uncles to stay in the Chai family for a long time. The children of the Chai family who were talented in martial arts would teach the Qin family's eighteen martial arts basics to the children in Chaijia Village, while those who were good at literature in the Chai family could enter the Qin family. The family ancestral hall receives enlightenment education just like the children of the Qin family!
Qin Ge forcefully patted the shoulder of a boy from the Chai family and said, "Not bad! He has a foundation in martial arts!" The overall quality of these boys from the Chai family is very good. According to Qin Ge's estimation, they can basically become silver-level warriors by the age of fifteen. General, it seems that the Chai family has spent a lot of money to train these children! "Old brother! I don't understand. The Chai family is now famous for its Yuanbao pig. You let the children of the Chai family not enjoy it, but also practice martial arts and read scriptures every day, and suffer physical and flesh pain. Moreover, the children of the Chai family who practice martial arts, from one to fifteen You will be sent to the military camp when you are old. As far as I know, there are nearly a thousand men from the Chai family joining the army! Why not let them enjoy such a generous life? Instead, they suffer hardship and their lives are in danger!"
Chai Jiumu looked back at the men of the Chai family and said: "Although I, Chai Jiumu, am a rich man from the countryside, I also know that the strong are respected in this world. I don't want the Chai family to become a pig farmer for generations to come. Pigherd! Of course I haven't read a book, but I know the lord's ambition. I hope that the Chai family will follow the lord and become a prominent family, a famous family, or even a noble family!" Qin Ge stared in astonishment. At this moment, he got to know Chai Jiumu again. , this old man who looks like a nouveau riche actually has such an ambition!
Chai Jiumu continued: "Every year, we use 70% of the total income of the Chai family to train the next generation! If the children are capable, we will send them to the Qin family and private schools. We will provide the children with copper every day. They can use gold-grade or even silver-grade ingot pigs to strengthen their bodies and practice martial arts, but if the children have no ability or talent, they will have to raise pigs for the rest of their lives! These are the descendants of the Chai family!" Chai Jiumu stared at hundreds of young and old. The descendants of Qi’s Chai family shouted: “What is the motto of our Chai family!”
"Be loyal to the lord! Follow the Qin clan! Wen wins Wuchang and creates glory!" Hundreds of Chai family children were full of anger and their voices were like thunder!
Qin Ge bowed deeply to Chai Jiumu and said, "Brother! I underestimated you! I underestimated the Chai family! I hereby apologize to you and the Chai family! I believe that the Chai family will become my right-hand man! Dominate the world. !”
Chai Jiumu knelt down excitedly. At this moment, he could feel that Qin Gecai truly recognized the Chai family: "Thank you, Lord! Give me the opportunity for the Chai family to rise!"
After leaving Chaijia Village, Qin Ge was filled with emotions. The breeding industry in Chaijia Village was becoming more and more prosperous. What made Qin Ge most emotional was that through the Chaijia Village, he saw the determination to lead the people freely, and their determination to grow and evolve with him.
On the carriage, Dian Wei was driving, and Chai Jiumu and his clansmen sent Qin Ge ten miles away. Qin Ge looked back at Chai Jiumu, his eyes flashed with emotion, and there was a kind of reverence called piety, and Chai Jiumu and many people in the Free Leaders were like that. He has an almost religious faith.
"What do you think of Chaijia Village?" Qin Ge suddenly turned around and asked Gao Tanglong.
Gao Tanglong hesitated for a moment and said, "Forgive me, foster father! Tang Long dare not say anything!"
Qin Ge waved his hand, the spring breeze was a bit crisp, Qin Ge gradually woke up from the alcohol in his body, Qin Ge laughed and said: "Do you think the Chai family has no backbone? You are almost flattering to me and the Qin family!"
Gao Tanglong was stunned for a moment, then quickly bowed and said: "Tang Long doesn't dare! Chaijia Village is currently the affiliated clan that has made the greatest contribution to the Free Territory. I still have the most basic respect for such meritorious clans, but the actions of the Chai Family It’s a bit too much!”
Qin Ge waved his hand and said: "Although the Chai family is the richest in the free area, their family's reputation is very bad. In the eyes of many families, the Chai family is the most spineless. The Chai family is almost groveling to the Qin family, and Chai Jiumu He is basically my pug. Every time he kneels down and licks him, he wants to be as mean as possible! And because of this, I used to have contempt for Chai Jiumu and the Chai family. I like strong people, and I have no respect for Chai Jiumu and the Chai family. I hate people with bones the most, but naturally I can't exclude the Chai family for profit, but I have never looked down on them in my heart! But now my mind has changed! What do you think of the Chai family now? "
Gao Tanglong was stunned for a moment and said: "Judging from the scale of the civil and military talents in their clan, they should be considered a relatively powerful squire clan in Mou County. With the wealth of their clan, they can barely be classified as a powerful clan!"
Qin Ge sighed: "Yes! Now the Chai family's clan size is equivalent to a powerful clan at the county level, but you know they used to be just a slightly stronger ordinary village-level clan, and there was only one member of the clan. It’s just Chai Rong, a top-notch genius!”
Gao Tanglong looked back at Chaijia Town in disbelief. You must know that clans are divided into ordinary clans at the village level, squire clans at the township level, powerful clans at the county level, distinguished clans at the county level, famous families at the state level, and famous families canonized by the Han Dynasty. ! The rise of a family is more difficult than the growth of a person. Generally, only those with extraordinary talents in the family will lead the family to rise and advance. Of course, the family will also weaken, such as the Gao family and the Yang family who are now living in Mou County. , was originally a famous family in Taishan County, but if the Yellow Turban Rebellion and Taishan banditry were not eliminated, they would become a powerful family in less than ten years. The promotion of a family generally requires a hundred years of accumulation, but the Chai family actually reached the threshold of a powerful clan from an ordinary clan in less than two years.
Qin Ge chuckled and said: "Now you know the terror of the Chai family! There were three squire clans that first joined the Free Territory, the Man family, the Sun family and the Shi family. The Man family and the Sun family were supported by Man Chong and Sun Guan. The family's heritage is also very deep, and now the latecomers of the Chai family are on top. The Chai family was originally a famous family for raising livestock. They took advantage of the family's advantages to provide the Qin family with a large amount of high-end ingredients. The ingredients of the Chai family are constantly improving, and the Chai family has obtained martial arts and enlightenment education from the Qin family! Chai Jiumu is very good! You can't underestimate him for being able to expand a clan with no foundation to this point! "
Gao Tanglong thought of his father's words in his mind: "If the family wants to rise, it must become Qin Ge's wings!" And some of Chai Jiumu's ideas coincided with Gao Ting's. This time, as Qin Ge inspected the territory, he discovered that the foundation of the Free Territory was much deeper than he thought. He had always thought that the Free Territory only had famous historical generals such as Man Chong, Dian Wei, Sun Guan, and Mao Jie. , and now he realized that he had underestimated the Free Territory. The Free Territory had a mysterious and prominent family, the Qin family, as well as die-hard powerful clans such as the Man family, the Sun family, the Shi family, and the Chai family, and all kinds of strange people. Sir, the foundation of the Free Territory is terrifyingly strong!
