Zhao Ya said, "You, Ah Da, Ah Er, and Ah San are all Hundred Households Officers under my command, Standard Seventh Rank—about the same level as Yelu’s official rank."
Chen Jie thought about this for a moment and felt it was acceptable. Though he was only a Hundred Households Officer, he dealt with Jianghu matters, so this wouldn’t hinder the development of his power.
Moreover, he could also gain an official status, which was quite good.
Chen Jie’s current strategy was to use Old Zhu’s nine-word strategy: "Amass grain, build high walls, and become king slowly."
Chen Jie was in the process of amassing grain, expanding his influence significantly, and expanding his territory. Becoming king slowly meant being low-key, living inconspicuously.
Chen Jie understood this, so he decided to start by mixing with the Commandery Princess.
Especially since he was currently in Huangzhou Prefecture, Chen Jie had recently reviewed the Fishing Guild’s information and found out that it used to be one of the four major guilds of Huangzhou Prefecture. However, it was eventually ousted after losing power struggles and became a local small guild in Mianshui County.
Following the Commandery Princess, who was the Martial Arts Steward of Hubei Road, he could use his position for personal gain and quietly unify the Fishing Guild. Then, using Mianshui County as a base, he could gradually take over Huangzhou Prefecture.
Chen Jie secretly made these calculations.
He now had a clear understanding of the path ahead. Looking at the Commandery Princess, Zhao Ya also looked at him and said, "What do you think? Is my temptation not as good as Monk Peng’s?"
