Chapter 53: Selecting Talents



"The ceremony continues."

The elder came to his senses and shouted hurriedly.

What just happened was just a small episode.

Faced with the Jiang family's arrogance, they thought they were very powerful.

However, he was still manipulated by the new owner at will and had no power to fight back.

As for Taigong, he was so happy that his teeth were showing and his eyes were not visible.

That day, the girl still let go.

It’s great that the family has such a head of the family.

From morning until almost four in the afternoon.

The long succession ceremony is finally over.

Everyone gathered in the Taotie Building for dinner. Tonight's dinner was extremely sumptuous and lively.

Jiang Li and Taigong sat at the dining table on the top floor.

She listened quietly to Taigong's teachings and the things she needed to pay attention to in daily family management.

"Grandpa!"

She looked at the old man with a smile and said, "You are in good spirits and can hold on for a few more years. Let me finish college first."

Hearing this, the grandfather raised his eyebrows and said in a conniving tone, "Girl, I'm an old-fashioned person, so of course I won't let you delay your studies."

There will definitely be no problem holding on for three to five years.

"There are also several children from our clan studying at Nanjing University." Taigong said, "If you have any questions, just contact them."

Then he leisurely pulled Jiang Li into a group.

He said: "This group is full of young people of your generation in the clan. You should be able to chat with each other, but it doesn't matter if you can't. It promotes patriotic education. Our Jiang family also has the concept of taking the family as our own responsibility."

Jiang Li gave a thumbs up and said, "You are the best. Come over here, Old Jiang."

Taigong was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, his laughter was refreshing and comfortable.

"Hey, Grandpa is an old man after all."

Well, he’s almost 120 years old, but he’s still a trendy guy.

Jiang Li was convinced.

Someone in the group was playing with his phone and saw Jiang Li appear.

I quickly greeted her and the tribesmen around me in the group.

Seeing that Jiang Li didn't respond for a long time, he knew that she was chatting with her grandfather and didn't have time to look at her phone.

Cheese shrimp balls, very good.

An old man and a young boy were arguing over a plate of shrimp balls, their chopsticks smoking and their faces red.

"Over the years, the clan has seemed harmonious on the surface, but behind the scenes, there have been many conflicts due to the distribution of interests."

When mentioning this matter, Taigong was full of helplessness.

“In a large family, the problem is not the lack of wealth but the inequality of distribution.”

"Back then, there were more than twenty holders of the Jiang family's land."

"For the sake of territories in various places, there are constant disputes, both open and covert."

"Later, in order to put an end to this internal friction, my father bought all the land from other people before he died."

"After I became the head of the family, the Jiang family land has become the head of the family's private property."

The tribesmen only have the right to live here for free, similar to a hotel.

Jiang Li listened quietly.

He asked, "Grandpa, there are only tens of thousands of people in our clan. For a clan that has lasted for 1,500 years, this number is a bit too few."

The Grandfather nodded and said, "At its peak, the Jiang family's population reached over 200,000. Over the past two hundred years, they experienced a war that lasted for over half a century. At its lowest point, the population was less than 4,000. After a century of recuperation, they have reached their current size."

At night, Jiang Li rested in Fengming Tower in the central mansion.

This used to be where the wife of the head of the family lived, and now Jiang Li has chosen this place.

Taigong doesn't need to move.

**

The dawn is beginning to appear.

Jiang Li was already practicing martial arts in the courtyard.

Her daily life is taken care of by two aunts in the tribe.

Although Jiang Li felt it was unnecessary, the other party needed this job.

You can get a handsome salary every month.

After breakfast, she walked to the martial arts field, where many people had already gathered.

"The head of the family is here."

"Head of the family."

Some parents saw her and greeted her with smiles.

Jiang Li nodded and said, "Line up."

The children lined up in an orderly manner.

Jiang Li still touched the bones and asked the children to practice some simple basic martial arts skills.

One by one, the selected children and their parents were very excited.

Those who lost the election looked depressed.

"Master, can't I?"

A little boy looked at Jiang Li with grievance.

Jiang Li smiled and said, "No one is impossible. It just depends on talent. This world is very cruel. Even if some people put in a lot of effort, the results they achieve are only one-tenth or one-twelfth of those with talent."

"In this world, there's more than just one path to take. You can always find your own way out. There's no need to waste your life learning martial arts."

"If you really want to learn, anyone in the tribe who has some basic skills can teach you."

"However, your achievements in martial arts are at most at the level of Jiang Shaozhang."

On the periphery, Jiang Shaozhang, who came with his peers to watch the selection of the clan's young talents, was so embarrassed that he wanted to dig out a magic fairy castle with his toes.

When did he become a fixed contrast?

The little boy nodded as if he understood, and was taken back by his parents.

After screening hundreds of children, only six were selected.

Four boys and two girls.

Among them, a little boy named Jiang Jiashuo has the best physique.

The second is a six-year-old girl named Jiang Xuxu.

She looked down at the six children.

He smiled and said, "Are you willing to learn martial arts from me?"

One of the little boys turned his head to look at his parents, tears in his eyes, and looked very aggrieved.

It seems that this little guy is not willing to learn.

His parents kept making gestures and winking at him.
