After the divorce, I became a mountain god

Li Kanshan had been feeling unwell for the past two days. As an experienced person, he knew that he had caught a cold, which made him feel weak.

However, after knowing that there would be a major event of receiving refugees today, Li Kanshan still came out on crutches and stayed here for more than an hour. For him, he would feel at ease and reassured only if he could observe this matter with his own eyes.

After all, this is something that the mountain god is concerned about, so he has to pay close attention to it.

Seeing Li Kanshan walking towards him with difficulty from a distance, Jin Dajian, who had just got off the car, hurriedly ran over, grabbed Li Kanshan's arm and said, "Old village chief, please slow down, I'm coming to find you."

Li Kanshan is old after all, and he has caught a cold these two days, so it is very inconvenient for him to walk and he has to use a cane.

Moreover, Li Kanshan is the elder and the person in charge designated by the mountain god in Kaoshan Village. Strictly speaking, his status is higher than Jin Dajian.

According to common sense, when the two met, Li Kanshan should have remained motionless while Jin Dajian should have trotted forward to greet them.

But now, Li Kanshan respected Jin Dajian so much, which made Jin Dajian very moved.

While Jin Dajian was speaking, he hurriedly reached out and made a gesture to support Li Kanshan.

Li Kanshan said with a smile: "It's okay. Thanks to the mountain god, although I'm old, my body is still OK."

Jin Dajian nodded and said, "That's good. There are more and more people in this village. You have worked so hard."

Li Kanshan waved his hand and said, "It's not a big deal. I am already very satisfied as long as I can have enough food to eat and not starve to death. If it were the past two years, I would have worked so hard in the fields every day to tend to the crops, and in the end, I couldn't even fill my stomach. That would have been pitiful."

Jin Dajian nodded and said in agreement: "Yes, this is all thanks to the grace of the mountain god. When I was in the mine, I had to hold my flesh between four stones every day. I was afraid that I would not live to see the next day. I was trembling with fear. Now I can finally live a good life."

Li Kanshan nodded, as if his nose was not feeling well. He sniffed again and said, "What a good life it is. When I look at these refugees, I think of my past. At the worst time, our whole village couldn't even get water to drink. It was thanks to the kindness of the Mountain God that he helped us in time. So we must complete this temple of the Mountain God with guaranteed quality and quantity.

Okay, let's talk business. You look like you came down from the mountain to ask for help!"

Jin Dajian chuckled and said, "As expected of you, I guessed it right. That's right, I saw so many people coming up there, and I was thinking if I could pick a few people to lead us so that we can work faster in the future."

Li Kanshan has always attached great importance to technical jobs, and he immediately promised: "That's easy. You can pick these people first, and I will take the rest to farm."

Farming is a job that is done by someone who leads the way, and the others just follow suit. It is all the same, and there is no technical skill to speak of. The upper limit is relatively low, but the lower limit is still relatively high. Even if your farming skills are not as good as others, the harvest is basically the same.

Being a craftsman requires talent, so Jin Dajian has to make the selection personally.

Jin Dajian cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your support, old village chief. I won't be polite then."

Li Kanshan smiled and nodded, saying, "It's just right that you stay here for a while and help maintain order. I'll go back and have some hot water. You can choose the right person if you see one. The people who have registered are drinking porridge in the big yard in front. You can choose when you eat later."

Jin Dajian responded repeatedly, saying, "Okay, okay, thank you, old village chief. I'll let Shuanzhu take you back."

Li Kanshan didn't hesitate. After all, the earthen buildings in the village were still some distance away, and his legs and feet were not very convenient now.

Originally there were several cars for them to use in the village, but in recent days he gave them to people who worked in the fields.

After all, farming is already very hard for everyone, and watering is not convenient nowadays. If you encounter things like transporting tools or water, it would be much more convenient to have a car.

Li Kanshan walked towards the car with the help of Jin Dajian. Just as he was about to get in, he saw a white shadow rushing towards him from a distance.

"Village chief, wait a minute, wait a minute!"

Li Kanshan stopped and looked in the direction of the voice. He smiled and said to Jin Dajian, "Oh, it's Wu Fu. I think his purpose is the same as yours. He is here to take someone away."

Upon hearing this, Jin Dajian suddenly felt a sense of crisis. After all, when everyone selects people, they always give priority to those who look strong and energetic. As for whether they have talent, they will only know after working for a period of time.

Generally speaking, after working for a period of time, even if the person does not have great talent, as long as he can do the job, everyone is willing to keep this experienced person.

In this case, whoever selects people first has a greater chance of retaining them.

Looking at Li Wufu approaching, Jin Dajian said anxiously, "Old village chief, this... Didn't Wufu just find a talented young man not long ago? Moreover, he even asked Niu Twelve to come over. He is now strong and powerful, so he should not be short of people."

Jin Dajian, Niu Shier and Niu Shier's father were all co-workers in the mine. He and Li Wufu are now the leaders of two technical occupations in the village. They have some interactions with each other in daily life, so he also has some understanding of Li Wufu's situation.

Li Kanshan smiled and said, "Who can complain about having too many people? Besides, it's not easy for them either. Right now, the prey in the nearby forest is basically gone, and hunting is much more difficult. They are thinking of organizing a group of people to go deep into the mountains to see if they can find a batch of wild boars, pheasants, rabbits and the like and bring them back to raise them so that everyone can always have meat to eat in the future."

Jin Dajian nodded helplessly. Thinking of the meat in his meal, he felt too embarrassed to say anything more.

After a while, Li Wufu came closer riding on the majestic wolf.

Li Wufu rolled down from the wolf's back and said, "Alas, I am still a step late. This four-hoofed mount is indeed not even a little bit inferior to the magic weapon bestowed by the Mountain God."

Li Kanshan said with a smile: "Of course. How can the things used by gods be compared with ordinary things? I said I would equip you with a car, but you were still not happy."

Li Wufu waved his hand and said, "It's not that I don't want to, it's mainly because our group of people have been in the woods all year round, and it's not easy to drive a car in the woods. It would be a waste if you gave it to us. It's more convenient to use these creatures in there."

As he spoke, Li Wufu gently patted the forehead of the wolf beside him. The wolf was as obedient as a domestic dog, and rubbed its huge head against Li Wufu's waist, showing its favor.

Li Qingshan nodded and said, "That's true. But if you have time in the future, you can learn from Master Jin Dajian and the others and open a path out of the forest. Generally speaking, it will be more convenient." Jin Dajian also nodded and said, "After I finish the work at the temple of the mountain god, I will follow you into the forest and see if we can find a suitable path out that leads directly to the forest on the back mountain. It will be more convenient to go back and at least save some time on the road."

Li Wufu waved his hand and said, "I appreciate your kindness, but this cannot be done. The roads in the forest are not like the roads on the mountain. The mountain roads have many rocks and are relatively solid. To build a road in the forest, we must first cut down trees and fill in too many potholes. It is too troublesome. Let's consider it later when we have more manpower."

Jin Dajian nodded and said, "Okay, it's up to you. If you need anything in the future, just let me know."

Li Kanshan also nodded and said, "Then you guys can discuss it. I won't worry about it. When you need the car later, just tell me."

At present, Li Kanshan is in charge of all matters big and small in the village. Except for the car that Xu Bo'an had already allocated to the mountain temple, the remaining cars are still under the jurisdiction of Li Kanshan.

Li Wufu nodded and said to Li Kanshan, "By the way, Village Chief, I heard that you were sick. I just happened to find an old ginseng in the mountains yesterday. You can soak it in water and drink it for a few days to try."

Li Kanshan didn't bother to be polite with Li Wufu. He nodded and said, "You are really thoughtful. I have been feeling a little uncomfortable recently, so I won't be polite with you. Okay, you two can choose people here. I will go back to rest for a while and drink some hot water."

Li Wufu and Jin Dajian saw Li Kanshan off, and then they stared at the crowd with wide eyes and started to select, without even a chance to speak, for fear that a good candidate would be picked up by the other party first.

He looked just like those middlemen in the antique market.

……

Li Wufu and Jin Dajian were having a great time selecting people here, while in the real world, Xu Boan was having a great time watching a show in this luxurious banquet hall.

It wasn't really a performance, but rather a rare reshuffle of the playboy circle.

The scene in the banquet hall of the castle is tense.

This banquet was originally a gathering of the celebrities and young people of Cuicheng.

Therefore, all those present were prominent figures in Cuicheng.

If Bruno had spoken in a nice way, perhaps the person being threatened would have found a way to back down and give in, which would have been considered giving face to the Green Leaf Family, and the matter would have been over.

However, Bruno's direct and blatant pressure made the person being threatened completely lose face.

If he just gave in now, he would become a laughing stock. How would he survive in this second-generation circle in the future?
Not only him, if he admits this, wouldn't their family's reputation be lost in one day?

So, the man gritted his teeth and said, "Bruno, thank you for inviting me to this banquet, but now, I have something to do at home, I need to go back, please get out of the way!"

In fact, this was a way for him to save face and it also gave Bruno enough face.

After all, he was clearly provoked by Brian and threatened by the vicious dog Bricka, and he could no longer stay here, but he still added the excuse that he had something going on at home.

Unexpectedly, Bruno did not give in, but said leisurely: "Oh no, I have made it very clear, Novis, my friend, today's banquet is very important, no one can leave early, otherwise, it means not giving me face, not giving face to our Green Leaf Family."

Novis said dissatisfiedly: "What are you talking about? Why don't you let me out!"

"Hmph, stop talking nonsense to him!" The arrogant man on the side scolded Bruno impatiently, and then looked at Novis viciously and said, "I'm telling you, I won't allow you to go out, it's that simple!"

Then, he scanned the entire room and said, "Not only him, but all of you here. If anyone leaves early without my permission today, I will make him or her dog food for my son!"

As he shouted, the mastiff barked wildly in all directions, making the atmosphere in the banquet hall instantly weird.

After all, everyone present is an adult, and everyone understands the principle that the first tree to stick its head out gets shot. What's more, this arrogant and domineering guy in front of them is someone that the Green Leaf Family relies on and should not be underestimated.

You should know that the Green Leaf Family has not been settled in Cuicheng for a long time. At least compared with the other three families that are ranked as the four major families, they can be said to be as young as a child.

But he still managed to become one of the four major families in Cuicheng, relying on the family of this arrogant guy. The Green Leaf Family was just a branch of his family. From this, you can imagine how huge his family is.

The man continued, "Very good, thank you for your cooperation. Let me introduce myself here first. My name is Brian, and I am from the Luben family of the Eseria Federation.
The reason I came to Cuicheng this time is to tell you that from now on, our family will be fully responsible for all of the Green Leaf Family’s businesses in Cuicheng.
In addition, we are going to take the lead in establishing the Cuicheng Log Association to regulate the current chaotic log market. We have hired a team of experts to do calculations and found that after regulation, the profit of the log business can be increased by 18 percentage points.

This is a good thing, so from now on, the timber business in Cuicheng must be handled by the Log Association."

Brian's words sound nice, but the underlying meaning is clear.

At this point, even a fool would know that this association that popped up out of nowhere is here to get a piece of the pie.

After all, everyone present here is a businessman who will not do anything without profit, so it's easy for everyone to not know everyone else's little tricks.

Novis's family started out in the timber business, and they relied most on logs. When they heard Brian's words, they immediately became dissatisfied.

Mixed with his resentment towards Bruno and Brian, he immediately stood up and was the first to express his opposition.

"What? Are you kidding? Our family's timber business has its own business channels. We don't need to join any association!"

When it comes to business, it's a matter of interest.

People are naturally unwilling to give up their profits easily. (End of this chapter)
