He Ming is worthy of being the next clan leader, his movements are quick and appropriate.

As soon as He An got home, he had already tidied everything.

Then it was sent with great fanfare to the ancestral hall, where the clan’s shared property was stored.

Then, within less than half a day, the news spread and He Ming's prestige in the clan increased further.

The position of the next patriarch is secured.

Seeing this, the rest of the tribesmen also donated some, no matter how much they had.

Uncle He Qi's family donated two carts of grain, and Uncle He Da's father and Uncle He San also donated one cart each...

All of a sudden, those in the tribe who had spare capacity came forward to donate.

This trend even reached the ears of the county magistrate.

The county magistrate, who was busy handling official business, heard about this and called Uncle He to confirm it.

His face was full of smiles, and he was very pleased. "I have heard that the He family has a good family tradition and the members of the family help each other. Now I see that it is indeed well-deserved."

Uncle He Qi said modestly that he dared not.

The county magistrate raised his hand to stop Uncle He Qi from being modest. "Well, whether it's good or bad, other people can see it most clearly."

"There are many people affected by the disaster in the county now. With the help of your tribe, I will donate five carts of grain to the people under my jurisdiction to help those affected by the disaster in the county get through this difficult time."

Uncle He clasped his fists and bowed, "Your Excellency is wise and has devoted all his energy to governing the people. How can I not follow your lead? I am willing to donate four carts of grain to help the people."

The county magistrate slammed the table and said, "Great, great! As expected of a member of the He family, you have high moral character and integrity."

Uncle He Qi: "No, no, it's all because of your leadership."

Soon, this trend of donations spread from the county government to the entire county.

In order to leave a good impression in front of the county magistrate, the wealthy families in the county followed suit.

But there are also default rules for this donation.

The county magistrate donated five carts, and the county magistrate and the chief clerk and the county lieutenant donated four carts.

The remaining clerks usually donated three and a half carts.

When it comes to the wealthy businessmen in the county, they usually donate three cars.

Just three carts of grain are nothing to those rich families.

Not to mention any broken bones, it's not even a scratch.

Therefore, everyone was very happy to donate. This not only left an impression in front of the county magistrate, but also gained a good reputation among the people. It was also a good thing that did not cost much money.

For them, the more the merrier!

In this way, the county magistrate collected all the disaster relief supplies in the county without any effort.

He looked at the things in the warehouse and was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.

He said to his left and right, "That He An, right? Thanks to him for taking the lead. Otherwise, how could this county gather so many things so easily?"

"Now we have the disaster relief supplies, and I have also received my achievements for this year."

"Hahaha, God is helping me. I can move to a new position next year."

He An had no idea of ​​the county magistrate's praise.

He is now busy with business in the store.

Since taking the lead in donating things to the tribe, the store's business has improved visibly.

Members of the tribe didn't buy things from him before.

Nowadays, even if I have to walk a little further, I will come to his place to take care of the business.

He An finally realized the benefits of a good reputation, although it may only be temporary.

But he was still a little worried. When he went back home at night, he said to Su Yan, "We just did some good things. Now the tribesmen treat us like this. I feel a little upset."

It's not just He An, Su Yan has also met many women from the tribe in the past two days.

They all came to visit Grandmother He.

Grandmother He specially added her so that she could meet some people.

In the past two days, Su Yan got to know more clansmen than she had in the past six months since she got married!

The two looked at each other, both feeling complicated.

It is one thing that they have a good reputation, but Su Yan has seen many examples in modern times of people being praised up and then being pulled down by the people.

I really don't even dare to float.

So he said to He An, "If the store is too busy recently, it would be nice to hire someone else to come to the store."

"You can use this time to check the quality of incoming goods. You must strictly control the quality!"

"We are now standing at the wind's edge, we must not be careless or get pushed down by the wind!"

Although He An didn't understand what Fengkou meant, he understood what Su Yan said before.

And I agree very much.

With a serious face, he added, "The better the business, the more cautious we should be. You are right! We need to check the goods in the store more strictly."

His good reputation came somewhat by chance.

But now that it's here, we can't let it slip away.

Don’t let your reputation be ruined!

The tribesmen come to the store to buy things because they trust their reputation, and they cannot let them down.

From that day on, He Anzhen hired another person.

This person is the son of the housekeeper Uncle Wu.

Because Uncle Wu had been released from his indenture, he was already a good citizen.

Some time ago, his job position was replaced by his boss's nephew, so he was unemployed at home.

After hearing about it, He An invited him to the store.

Every day he and Su Erlang were responsible for receiving business in the store, while He An was responsible for checking the goods delivered every day and sorting them.

Sometimes, when there is a large order, He An can even drive a ox cart to deliver the goods to the door.

Otherwise, why do we say that the eyes of the masses are sharp?

Although the customers did not say anything about the store's series of practices, everyone who came and went saw it.

Naturally, these tribesmen came to support He An at first because of his recent fame.

But after I really came here, I saw how He An behaved and how he treated guests.

They all had to admit that he was a good guy!

Of course, some people suspected at the beginning that He An might be getting carried away. After all, he was so young and suddenly became famous in the county.

Even if it is only for a moment, it is something that many people cannot obtain in their entire lives.

Naturally, there is capital to float.

But after a period of time, I found that not only did he not become arrogant, but he was even more down-to-earth and trustworthy than before.

This not only made those who secretly suspected him feel ashamed, but also made some elders in the tribe who were silently observing him very happy.

Especially the clan leader, he has always had a good relationship with Grandfather He.

Naturally, there is more attention paid to He An, the grandson who is currently temporarily living in He's grandfather's house.

Now he seems so calm and methodical in his work.

He secretly praised his son, "This He An is a capable person. Judging from how stable he is now, he will definitely be able to do well in the future."

Although He Ming also felt that He An's recent behavior was indeed good, he still disagreed with his father's high regard for him.

"He An is good at everything except that he doesn't have parents to help him."

Not only did he not have any help from his parents, but his parents even divided up his family property.

It's true that he's doing well now, but it's just a small shop after all. How can it compare with his elder brother's shops on East Street that make a fortune every day?

After all, the clan leader is the boss, and he knew what He Ming was thinking at a glance.

He snorted coldly, "You are good at everything. You do things properly and you are thoughtful."

"But when it comes to judging people, I'm still far from it."

"Our ancestors always said not to despise the poor young. You only saw that He An has opened a small shop now, why don't you see how old he is this year?"

He picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and said, "Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west. It's hard to say who will be the better of the two brothers in the future!"
