Longevity Reward Redemption: The Immortal Clan Starts with Farmers

41: Fuwei Escort Agency and Chen Family Chamber of Commerce officially opened!After lunch, Chen Chuanwen went to the Iron Spear Martial Arts School and, after being announced, met with the master, Master Li Wen.

”Haha, isn’t this the famous ’Smiling Yama’ of the county?”

Master Li Wen still looked like a white-haired elderly powerhouse; it seemed he had just finished practicing martial arts, as he was still wearing a martial arts training suit.

”It’s just rumors from the people in the county; this Junior cannot bear Senior’s teasing!”

Chen Chuanwen quickly responded with a smile. After all, this was his elder brother’s master, so he had to be polite. In reality, he thought to himself: Which bastard gave me this nickname? It sounds terrible!

”Your Chen Family is sailing smoothly right now, just as you’re about to embark on grand plans. How do you have the time to visit my small temple?”

Seeing Chen Chuanwen’s humble attitude, Master Li Wen was quite satisfied and stopped teasing him, asking directly.

”To be honest, I’ve come to see Master Li because I have a favor to ask!”

Chen Chuanwen cupped his hands toward Master Li Wen. This response left Master Li Wen a bit dazed. The Chen Family had a deep background with an Immortal Official as a backer, immense wealth that grew daily, and Chen Chuanwu, an outstanding Martial Artist. They had already become the tyrants of Longwei County!

Although his martial arts school had some reputation in Longwei County, it couldn’t compare to the Chen Family’s momentum. Why would he have something to ask of him?

”Is there anything in Longwei County that your Chen Family can’t handle?”

”Don’t use the word ’ask.’ Based on my relationship with your elder brother, just say what’s on your mind. If I have the ability, I will certainly help you!”

Despite his age, Master Li Wen still possessed the spirit of a heroic knight-errant and agreed very generously!

Chen Chuanwen was delighted. He hadn’t expected Master Li Wen to be so loyal and to value his relationship with his elder brother so much. It seemed the matter of the Escort agency was going to happen!

”Master Li, my Family wants to transport goods to other regions, but there are too many bandits on the road. Without help, we would surely be robbed and lose everything!”

”I’ve been thinking, why don’t we establish an Escort agency? It can transport our Chen Family’s goods and take on jobs from others. This way, it provides a new source of income and a path for the Disciples of the Iron Spear Martial Arts School!”

”Our Chen Family will provide the funds. We will only take thirty percent of the agency’s income, and the remaining seventy percent will go to the Escorts. What do you think?”

Hearing Chen Chuanwen’s words, Master Li Wen pondered for a moment before bursting into laughter. He walked up to Chen Chuanwen, patted his shoulder, and said:

”Haha, no wonder your Chen Family is making a fortune!”

”The conditions you’ve proposed are truly hard for this old man to refuse. Since you think so highly of my Iron Spear Sect, I agree!”

”It’s also a perfect way to find a path for my Disciples! I’ll personally handle the first Escort mission to ensure those bandits along the way are thoroughly cowed!”

Chen Chuanwen was overjoyed upon hearing this and hurriedly cupped his hands in a bow.

”Thank you for the honor, Master Li! From now on, you will oversee the Escort agency. Our Chen Family will only provide the money and will never interfere!”

Master Li Wen chuckled and waved his hand. He took Chen Chuanwen’s words as mere politeness. Once the Escort agency was established, the one in charge would certainly be the financier who provided the money. He, Master Li Wen, was nothing more than an Advanced enforcer meant to hold down the fort!

Chen Chuanwen and Master Li Wen then discussed the salary system for the Escorts. Both were very satisfied with the negotiation. Finally, Chen Chuanwen brought out the name his father had chosen for the agency—the Fuwei Escort Agency!

Master Li Wen thought the name was good and very domineering, so he agreed. They agreed that when the Chen Family Chamber of Commerce was established tomorrow, the Escort agency would also be officially inaugurated!

Having settled the matter of the Escort agency, Chen Chuanwen was in high spirits. With this group of people, not only could the Chen Family sell goods outside the county, but he also had a group of Martial Artists under his command who could be deployed at will!

The current Chen Family could finally say that they were a martial arts Clan of Longwei County and a top-tier prominent household.

Chen Chuanwen then began to handle the affairs of the Chen Family Chamber of Commerce; this was the Chen Family’s first formal debut in the county town.

Chen Chuanwen wanted to make a grand impression and naturally took it very seriously; otherwise, instead of making a name for himself, he might end up making a fool of himself, which would be a disaster!

The next day, at exactly eight o’clock, at the restaurant Chen Chuanwen had booked.

It wasn’t mealtime yet, but people were already coming and going at the restaurant!

Many merchants, Gang members, and officials arrived one after another, bringing gifts and enthusiastically entering the Chen Family’s restaurant.

Chen Chuanwen greeted these influential figures of Longwei County with a smile. Seeing them bowing and scraping before him with compliments, he felt quite satisfied internally.

Through the efforts of his father, his elder brother, and himself, the Chen Family had finally become a powerful Family in the county town. As long as the Legacy was passed down through generations, they would become a new Clan!

”Congratulations! Your business is booming; your Chen Family has done well!”

A gentle voice sounded, and Chen Chuanwen immediately turned around to welcome the guest!

The most powerful backer his Family had on the surface, the number two figure in the county, the Cultivator—Baili Ce had arrived!

”Welcome, Lord Baili. Please come inside, Lord Baili; a seat has already been prepared for you!”

Chen Chuanwen hurriedly cupped his hands and led Baili Ce into the restaurant!

Baili Ce’s appearance immediately brought the restaurant’s atmosphere to a climax. His open visit to the Chen Family was undoubtedly an announcement that he was the Chen Family’s backer.

For a moment, the merchants, officials, Gangs, and martial arts schools present all looked at Chen Chuanwen with complex gazes full of envy.

”I just came by to take a look; there’s no need for special treatment. Go attend to your business!”

Baili Ce took a sip of jasmine tea and spoke to Chen Chuanwen with a smile.

Chen Chuanwen, not being clear on the other’s temperament, withdrew and went to attend to the other guests.

The auspicious hour had arrived; it was time to hang the plaques!

Chen Chuanwen stood on the platform in the center of the restaurant, looking at the rows of guests below, and said with a smile:

”Today is the day the Chen Family Chamber of Commerce is established. Our Chen Family has always been close to our fellow villagers. Any merchant who wishes to join our chamber will be treated equally in terms of the goods we provide, provided they pass the audit!”

”Furthermore, to ensure the smooth flow of goods, our Chen Family Chamber of Commerce will establish the Fuwei Escort Agency together with the Martial Artists of the Iron Spear Martial Arts School and others. Whenever you travel for business, you can place an order with our Fuwei Escort Agency, and we will guarantee your safety!”

The guests in their seats suddenly became lively, especially the merchants and martial arts schools. The Chen Family had already talked with the merchants, and now that it was announced publicly, the merchants were immediately put at ease.

As for the martial arts schools, their attention was focused on the Escort agency. If the Iron Spear Martial Arts School could cooperate with the Chen Family Chamber of Commerce, then why couldn’t they? After all, they had many Disciples, and acting as Escorts was also a way to make money!

”Alright! No more nonsense. Hang the plaques!”

At Chen Chuanwen’s command, the prepared servants hung the ”Chen Family Chamber of Commerce” plaque on the restaurant.

And at a courtyard next to the restaurant, a group of Disciples from the Iron Spear Martial Arts School also joyfully hung up the ”Fuwei Escort Agency” plaque!

Then came a burst of firecrackers and the congratulations of the guests. Chen Chuanwen exchanged pleasantries with everyone and then quietly left the crowd.

Looking at the two newly hung plaques, everyone in Longwei County realized at this moment.

The number one civilian Family in Longwei County was now the Chen Family. With money in hand, Martial Artists in the Escort agency, and an Immortal Official as their background, no other Family could compare to them!

Even including the high-and-mighty County Magistrate and the Immortal Official, the Chen Family, through their strategic alliances, had firmly established themselves as the third-largest power in Longwei County!

The Chen Family has risen!
