Chapter 122 The "Boss" of Liujiazhuang

Just after lunch, the Liu family's old house was bustling with people, shoulder to shoulder.

The noise, conversation, laughter and quarrels here are intertwined to form a vibrant picture.

When the young people in Liujiazhuang heard the news that Liu Jingzhai's family had returned, their hearts were filled with ripples and they could no longer calm down.

They came in an endless stream, under the pretext of wishing New Year's greetings to their second uncle (second uncle) who had returned from the city.

They filled the house to the brim, forcing my uncle and others to leave. The scene was very lively and full of festive atmosphere.

Those who were younger in generation saw Liu Jingzhai sitting on the kang with a smile on his face as soon as they entered the room, and they kowtowed to him without saying a word.

"Second Uncle! Shudong wishes you a happy new year! Happy New Year!"

"Okay!" "Okay!" "Please stand up quickly!" As he said that, he handed over a red envelope, which contained exactly two cents.

As soon as this person stood up, the one behind him started knocking down the stairs.

"Uncle! Shuhua wishes you a happy new year! I wish you good health and all the best."

"Okay!" "Shuhua! You get up too." He also handed over a red envelope.

"Second Uncle! I kowtow to you now. I wish you..."

"Second brother! Yuan Ling..." This person is of the same generation.

"Nephew Jingzhai!..." Wow! This guy is one generation older than me, why did he come to join in the fun?

"..."

In the festive atmosphere of the Spring Festival, people come to pay New Year's greetings one after another like products on an assembly line.

After greeting everyone, they were not in a hurry to leave, but stood aside and chatted cordially, creating a warm and harmonious atmosphere.

At this moment, looking at the crowds of people, Liu Jingzhai's face turned green. He didn't change color because he felt sorry for the money, but because he didn't prepare so many red envelopes.

In desperation, he quickly turned to Liu Zhiye for help.

Liu Zhiye couldn't help but laugh when he saw his father's embarrassed look.

Liu Jingzhai glared at him in dissatisfaction, as if with a hint of blame, as if to say: "Isn't this all because of you?"

The noisy atmosphere that had lasted for a long time finally died down and no one came to pay New Year's greetings in an endless stream anymore.

At this moment, looking around the house, everything seemed to have returned to peace, except for that scene which made people feel surprised.

I saw a group of young and strong men standing together in a row. There were more than a hundred of them.

Their postures were upright and full of energy. For a moment, even Liu Zhiye, who was used to big scenes, felt a headache.

Grandpa now knew that the matter was serious. With so many people, not only could Liu Zhiye not make arrangements, but even the government would find it difficult to handle it properly in a short period of time.

However, they could not drive all these people away. After all, they were all close relatives, blood was thicker than water, and broken bones were still connected by tendons.

He broke the silence reluctantly and whispered, "Zhiye, you see these children are coming for you. No matter what, you should say a few words to them to comfort them first!" His voice was full of concern and helplessness, making people feel a deep sense of powerlessness.

Uncle Liu Yuanhai didn't expect things to get to this point. At first, he just watched the fun happily from the sidelines, but he didn't expect that all the young people in the village came, and the scene became very tense and lively.

So, he also comforted Liu Zhiye, "Zhiye! Don't worry! Have a good chat with them. No one dares to provoke me when I'm here."

Liu Zhiye knew very well that if he did not stand up bravely, he would not be able to face the expectations of his family and the trust of everyone.

As a leader of the younger generation, he shoulders the heavy responsibility that is expected of him and cannot retreat in the slightest.

Thinking from another perspective, if he can win over these people's hearts, he will undoubtedly win the most unwavering supporters and backing.

In the days to come, the world is unpredictable and the situation is changing rapidly. Any disturbance may affect him and his family.

They can also retreat to the safe haven of Liujiazhuang, and I believe they will be able to safely weather the storm.

Since ancient times, the township has been regarded as a close-knit and reliable group.

There are deep emotional ties between fellow villagers, which stem from their common living environment, geographical background and cultural heritage.

In ancient times, Zhu Yuanzhang and Liu Bang relied on their fellow villagers to overthrow the Yuan Dynasty and establish the Ming Dynasty or the Han Dynasty. Cao Cao, the founder of the Cao Wei Dynasty, also relied on the power of his clan members to start his own business. Only then could he stand out among the many princes at the end of the Han Dynasty.

Not only did he emerge as a prominent figure in troubled times, but with his outstanding military talent and political wisdom, he also occupied a place in the Three Kingdoms situation and controlled two-thirds of the world.

In modern times, outstanding figures such as Zeng Guofan, Zuo Zongtang, and Li Hongzhang relied on their fellow villagers and the troops they established to achieve remarkable and brilliant achievements.

The troops they established were not only a powerful armed force, but also a spiritual bond that united the villagers, which had a profound impact on the country and society at that time.

Compared with other armies at the time, these troops were more loyal, steadfast, and always maintained high morale and tenacious perseverance.

As the saying goes, "It takes three to make a fence, and it takes three to make a hero." The power of one person is limited, but when many people add fuel to the fire, the flames rise high.

Liu Zhiye is well aware of the importance of talent to an organization or family.

Not only is he far-sighted, he is also willing to cultivate several clan members and has high hopes for them.

We hope that they will achieve great things in the future and contribute their strength to the development of their family or organization.

He walked silently in front of his brothers and nephews without saying a word, but in a silent way, he gently patted the arm of one and hammered the chest of another.

His movements were like those of an inspection, appearing solemn and sacred, and the atmosphere on the scene suddenly became serious and tense.

His every movement and every look seemed to convey some kind of power and information to everyone, making people around him involuntarily attracted to him, quiet down and listen attentively.

He suddenly stopped and looked at everyone.

"Uncles, brothers, nephews and nephews!"

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, he continued, "Everyone listen to me, I already know why you are here."

"To be honest, with so many people helping me, I really feel helpless."

When everyone heard this, they started talking loudly.

"Brother Zhiye, to be honest, we have no other choice but to come to you. We know that even if you have great abilities, you can't arrange so many people."

"Yes, yes, who can take care of so many people? In the Qing Dynasty, they would have bankrupted the emperor..."

"Then what do you think we should do? Why don't we go back and stop making things difficult for my nephew."

"Hey, hey, young master, don't be impatient. My uncle hasn't finished speaking yet, please listen to him..."

Some people were so impatient that they shouted directly: "Big brother! We all obey you, please tell us what the rules are!"

Liu Zhiye heard this and shouted, "Okay! Then I'll tell you."

"I'll do a statistics, those aged 16 to 25 will be listed."

More than 80 strong young men came out with vigorous steps and extraordinary momentum.

Their Liujiazhuang is a place where martial arts are popular. Backed by towering mountains, they make a living by hunting.

The young people here have excellent physical fitness because they have grown up under the influence of martial arts and have been tempered and tempered by nature.

Their strong physique and agile skills all demonstrate the unique vitality of this land.

Liu Zhiye nodded and continued with a smile: "Those of you who are unmarried and have an elementary school education or above, please stay. As for the rest, please step aside."

As a result, more than 30 people were returned, and now the number of people left is less than 50.

"Those with junior high school diplomas, stand on the left. Those with junior high school diplomas or above, stand on the right. Those with only primary school diplomas, stand where they are."

After careful screening, he finally determined the following people: 26 people with primary school education, 17 people with junior high school education, and surprisingly, 5 of them were high school students.

"That's great. I didn't expect that we have several top students in Liujiazhuang! Tell me, what are your situations like?" Liu Zhiye pointed enthusiastically at these young people with only high school education and asked curiously.

The five people with only high school education exchanged glances in silence.

At this time, the youngest Liu Shucheng was the first to speak and break the silence. His words were filled with a hint of helplessness: "Brother, I am a sophomore in high school this year and will graduate next year. However, my family is in great difficulty now, so I hope to drop out of school and work..."
