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.
