It seems that Wei Wenxun has begun to understand the true meaning of the rules of the world under Wang's many years of "education".
A powerful overlord like the Wang family is no longer something that any city guard can manipulate or even confront at will. Once the Wang family becomes more serious, Wei Wenxun, the city guard's order, may not even be able to leave the city guard's house.
The reason is also very simple. No one in the local eighth or ninth grade, or even the Xuanwu family who is not a good grade, is a fool. The city guard has to be replaced every twenty or thirty years, but the Changning Wang family has been entrenched in it for generations.
this.
What's more, the Changning Wang family is different from other powerful families in various cities and provinces. The Changning Wang family has grown stronger by earning profits from external parties. Instead of sucking the blood of local families, it has brought local families together to earn and develop.
In today's Changning Wei, as long as the ninth-grade aristocratic family can stand on the same line as the Wang family, there is no one who is still living in poverty. Even many salt-fish-like ninth-grade aristocratic families are already accumulating resources and strength, ambitiously
Plan how to advance to the eighth rank.
Chang Ningwei's original eighth-grade aristocratic families are also attacking the seventh-grade aristocratic families, and some have even succeeded.
For example, the Ruhong ancestor of the Donggang Chen family had reached the Heavenly Realm more than ten years ago. With this, the Donggang Chen family also changed its lintel and became a seventh-grade family, becoming the unparalleled overlord of Donggang.
Liu Xuanfu of the Shanyin Liu Clan has also successfully entered the Heavenly Realm.
However, she was born as a core disciple of the academy. After reaching the Heavenly Realm, she will be promoted to the elder of the academy. Strictly speaking, she cannot become a member of the Shanyin Liu family for promotion. It is okay to make up the number from the seventh grade to the sixth grade. As a
It would be inappropriate to change the lintel of the Liu family in the only realm of heaven and human beings.
Therefore, although the Shanyin Liu family currently has more than a dozen Lingtai realm monks, it is still considered an eighth-level family. It is just a very powerful family among the eighth-level, and is usually called a strong eighth-level family. The overall strength is compared to the ordinary eighth-level family.
I don’t know how many times stronger it is.
The first ancestor of the Liu family, Liu Qingbai, is the grandson of the ancestor Zhou Xuan. He originally had extraordinary talents and has been concentrating on seclusion to attack the realm of heaven and humanity. In the past twenty years, thanks to the Liu family's increasing
As it grew stronger, the Liu family began to provide resources to Patriarch Qingbai regardless of cost.
Today's ancestor Qingbai is only over one hundred and forty years old, and he has already reached the peak of the Lingtai realm. If everything goes well, the Liu family will become a true seventh-grade family in a few years.
The Gongsun family in Shanyang is also developing very well, but their luck is not as good as that of the Liu family. The first ancestor of the Gongsun family, Gongsun Qi, ancestor Qi, is now one hundred and sixty years old, but he is still only in the Lingtai realm.
In the mid-term, there has been little progress in decades.
There was no way, when the Gongsun family made a fortune with the Wang family, Ancestor Qi was already too old and missed the best opportunity for development.
Now the hope of attacking the Gongsun clan and entering the heaven-human realm is placed on Ancestor Jie. With the full support of the family, Ancestor Jie is now only a hundred years old and is already at the peak of the fifth level of the Lingtai realm. With the financial resources of the Gongsun clan,
, Ancestor Jie has great hope of achieving the realm of heaven and human beings.
Another family that has suddenly emerged is the Yingxiu Lu family, Wang Shouzhe's maternal family. The ancestor of the Lu family, Mingsheng, has extremely slim hope of achieving the realm of heaven and human beings in this life. However, Lu Xiaoxiao, the formation master of the Lu family, "unknowingly"
Suddenly he became a genius.
Lu Xiaoxiao, who is only in his forties now, has also reached the peak of the fifth level. In the future, he will most likely become a heavenly being before Ancestor Jie, allowing Yingxiu Lu to become the seventh level first.
Moreover, as Lu Xiaoxiao is the only formation master in the in-laws alliance, his role is not small, and his status is very special and stable.
In addition, the heavenly being Lei clan, the heavenly being Xu clan...
Therefore, even if the Changning Wang family is removed, the combined strength of the entire in-law alliance is much stronger than that of ordinary sixth-grade families. The influence of the City Guards is being reduced again and again in Changning Guards.
Let’s not talk about gossip for now.
The current city guard, Wei Wenxun, gave Wang Shoulian a grand inauguration ceremony, and then left on the grounds that he would not disturb the work of the new guard.
at dusk.
In the side hall of the Xin'an Town Guards House.
Wang Shouzhe and Wang Shoulian, who were dressed in military official uniforms, sat across from each other.
There were some small drinks and side dishes on the table, all of which were cooked by Wang Shoulian's daughter-in-law, Zhou Qingning. Although her cooking skills were not exquisite, the few side dishes were prepared in a decent way.
"Fourth uncle, you and Shou Lian drink slowly while I go over to supervise Tai'er's homework." Zhou Qing bowed quietly and then quietly retreated, giving the two brothers some private space.
After Zhou Qingning left, Wang Shoulian raised his glass and said: "Fourth brother, it has been all thanks to you all these years that the Wang family has become what it is today. I'd like to toast you."
At this time, Wang Shoulian was no longer the miserable young man who was chased by his sister Wang Luoqiu all day long.
Years of military service have transformed him into a mature man. Today, he has a tall and majestic figure, a beard, and a deep and majestic look in his eyes.
It's no wonder that Wang Shoulian is already forty-seven years old. Although his bloodline is not at the level of genius, with the continuous support of his family, he has reached the first level of middle grade, and his cultivation has also reached the peak of the third level of Lingtai realm. It won't be long before he can
Entering the mid-term.
I dare not say that the Purple Mansion Realm will be far away in the future, but one cannot escape from the Heavenly Man Realm.
"How can this be the result of me alone?" Wang Shouzhe smiled and clinked glasses with him and said, "It is not the result of the concerted efforts of our family, old and young, from generation to generation. Over the years, you, sixth brother, have also worked hard. Because of the clan rules,
I must be separated from Qing Ning and the children, and spend a long time alone in the military."
The family has family rules, and the clan has clan laws.
Zhou Qingning, the daughter-in-law of the sixth Wang Shoulian, although she came from a military family, since she chose to marry Wang Shoulian, she naturally had to abide by the Wang family rules.
Therefore, when Zhou Qingning became pregnant with her first child, Wang Lixuan, she resigned from the army and returned to the Wang family's main house to raise and give birth. Over the years, she has been staying at the Wang family's main house to raise her children. The clan members married
A wife is married into the entire family. The children she gives birth to are both her own children and the children of the entire family.
Underage children must live in the main house, attend clan schools, grow up with clansmen of the same age, and receive a complete Wang clan education.
This kind of family rule cannot be violated by anyone.
Otherwise, like Shoulian, if the husband and wife live together in the military camp, and the children also grow up in the military camp...then the children like Li Xuan, Zong Ping, and Zong Tai will feel alienated from the entire family.
Just visiting during the holidays, what is the difference between this and relatives?
Therefore, the concept of family in this world is different from the concept of family on earth. In the eyes of all tribesmen, everyone must be more important than the small family. The closeness between tribesmen and the recognition of each other's identities are not the same as those on earth.
The affection between relatives is comparable.
Wang Shoulian grew up in this atmosphere, so he naturally agreed with this concept. Immediately, he shook his head and said: "What's so hard about this? Isn't it the same for my father? Besides, I'm not working in a distant place.
I can go back and have a look from time to time. As for the hard work, the third brother and the seventh brother are both in the county, so it is harder."
The two brothers chatted while drinking. The two brothers had not had this opportunity to chat alone for a long time.
"Fourth brother, this time I came to Xin'an Town to serve as the garrison. Although things happened unexpectedly." Wang Shoulian said quietly, "But my father and I have already discussed it and brought over a group of military henchmen we have cultivated and accumulated over the years.
There are about a hundred people, all of whom are young soldiers with excellent character and potential. They can maintain the security order of Xin'an Town and assist the Wang family in their subsequent exploration of new territories."
"Since they are Third Uncle and your confidants, our Wang family cannot treat them badly." Wang Shouzhe said after a brief pause, "The family will give you and Third Uncle an additional 100,000 gold resources every year to make up for the lack of 'military expenses'."
"Fourth brother, this is too much." Wang Shoulian said hurriedly, "The family used to support us every year, and another hundred thousand is too much. The family has a lot of money to spend."
The Wang Ding clan and Wang Shoulian are both representatives of the extension of the Wang family's power in the military. Therefore, the Wang family secretly funds them every year, giving them more opportunities to win over their colleagues, cultivate confidants, and gradually strengthen themselves.
"It doesn't matter, Xin'an Town has entered a stage of rapid development. Farm after farm has sprung up like bamboo shoots after the rain, and the total annual income is also the same every year." Wang Shouzhe said with a solemn expression, "However, since the battle between the emperor and his son has begun,
, our country will inevitably experience turbulence and changes in the future. Every time we have more power in our hands, we will have more calmness."
"In addition to cultivating your own power, this money can also be used to expand your contacts, increase the depth of the military's network, and also increase the breadth of my Wang family's reach."
Speaking of this matter, Wang Shouzhe was secretly unhappy. How could there be a dispute between the emperor and his son... If he was given hundreds of years to develop slowly, the Wang family would be a behemoth by then.
If the dispute between emperor and son arises again, he will not be so passive.
However, now that the wave of the times has arrived, Wang Shouzhe is by no means a blaming person. He will only pay more attention to layout development and try his best to prevent the Wang family from being "swatted to death" by the waves of the times.
"Fourth brother, I understand." Wang Shoulian said with a serious expression, "Over the years, my father and I have developed a lot of relationships. We will be more attentive to developing relationships in the future. If there is any trouble, we can be alert in advance."
"Don't cut off Wei Wenxun's road." Wang Shouzhe said with a smile, "You and Sanbo are his old subordinates. This friendship may one day come into play."
"In addition, you should also pay attention to the resource issues in the military, especially the Marrow Cleansing Pill, the Infinite Treasure Pill, or the refining materials for related pills. These are the resources our family urgently needs."
For Wang Shouzhe, there is endless demand for treasures such as the Marrow Cleansing Pill and the Infinite Treasure Pill that can improve bloodline qualifications. He cannot spend huge resources on his own to achieve the bloodline of the Great Prodigy.
The other brothers and sisters of the tribe don’t care whether they live or die, right?
Within the scope of ability, the more talented bloodlines the family has, the better. Not only will they themselves be strong, but it will also affect the tyranny of the Wang family's future descendants.
Nowadays, the overall bloodline of the Wang family has improved a lot, and the bloodline of the newly born young children is obviously much stronger in terms of innate bloodline. It has surpassed the average line of Wang Shouzhe, Wang Shounuo, etc.
"Yes, fourth brother." Wang Shoulian followed the good advice.
In the eyes of the Wang clan, the fourth brother Wang Shouzhe seems to be a god-like figure who will support any decision unconditionally.
Before I knew it, more than an hour had passed.
Zhou Qingning knocked on the door and came in. She bowed and said, "Fourth uncle, husband. Xuan'er and Heping'er. They are performing tasks nearby. After hearing the news, they came here to visit my husband."
"It just so happens that I have finished talking about Shou Lian's affairs. Brothers and sisters, please don't do it yourself. Simply ask the cook to open another table. I haven't seen a few children for some time, so I just want to talk to them.
, take the exam." Wang Shouzhe suddenly became energetic.
In the past two years, he has been at the last moment of sprinting to the heaven-human realm, but he has indeed neglected to supervise his children. The children of every family are the future of the Wang family. As the head of the family, Wang Shouzhe naturally has a responsibility
Urge them to make progress.
"Fourth brother... still cares about the children as always." The corner of Wang Shoulian's bearded mouth twitched slightly, and an unforgettable shadow flashed in his eyes. Among them were the test of the fourth brother and the "spurring" from his sister Wang Luoqiu.
”.
Zhou Qingning said "hey", covered her mouth and went to prepare the new table with a smile. The fourth uncle's exams are the "motivation" for the children's growth. The children are not necessarily afraid of her as a loving mother, nor are they necessarily afraid of their strict father who has been away from home for a long time.
, but they will definitely be afraid of their patriarch, Fourth Uncle.
soon.
There were three young men and women standing in the side hall. They all stood with their hands tied, their heads drooped and they did not dare to take a breath. Especially Wang Lixuan and Wang Zongping, they were performing tasks nearby and came to visit their father.
But I never thought that I would bump into my fourth uncle. I really didn't calculate the good or bad luck when I went out.
As for the youngest Wang Zongtai, his face was pale, and his eyes were filled with the innocence of being implicated by his brothers and sisters.
"boom!"
Wang Shoulian knocked on the table and said angrily, "What expressions do you have on each of you? Has your mother spoiled you all?"
"Don't be ruthless when it comes to integrity, and don't be nervous, you two." Wang Shouzhe smiled and said, "Lixuan, you are already a big girl, and you are usually sensible and hard-working. Unlike the two boys, you sit down first.
"
"Thank you, Fourth Uncle." Wang Lixuan, who was already in her twenties, had grown into a beautiful woman. She smiled at Wang Shouzhe obediently, then sat aside and said goodbye to her two younger brothers.
Clear boundaries.
Wang Zongtai, who was only ten years old, was shocked by his sister's shamelessness. In the past, his sister had always regarded him as her treasure. Why did he immediately rebel as soon as he was in front of his fourth uncle?
On the contrary, Wang Zongping understood this situation very well. Not to mention that his sister had betrayed him. In front of his fourth uncle, if he, the ninth young master, had this opportunity, he would have rebelled as well.
"Zong Ping, are you sixteen this year?" Wang Shouzhe looked at Lao Jiu, who was born with the name "Zong" in his eyes, with satisfaction. This child naturally had the good appearance of the Wang family, with sword-shaped eyebrows and bright eyes, full of heroic spirit.
Moreover, you can see that his steps are steady and steady as he walks, and the profound energy in his body is thick and solid.
With Wang Shouzhe's cultivation level in the Human Realm, it can be seen at a glance that he has broken through to the seventh level of Qi Refining Realm, which shows that he pays great attention to basic skills in daily life.
The family is becoming more and more prosperous. The male members of the Zong generation have all reached the fifteenth level, and the Li generation has reached the thirteenth level. At the same time, the Shi generation and the Ying generation have also reached the eldest level.
Seven.
It is conceivable that in the future, the number of people with the clan name will definitely exceed the number of people with the clan name, and the number of people with the clan name will also exceed the number of the clan clan. The prosperity of each generation is the foundation for the real rise of the Wang family in the future.
"Zong Ping is good. His basic skills are very solid. Recently, he has been practicing hard with his elders or brothers in the family." Wang Shouzhe praised.
Wang Zongping breathed a sigh of relief, cupped his hands and said, "Fourth uncle, Zongping will definitely work hard."
Then, Wang Shouzhe looked at Wang Zongtai. Well, his foundation was not bad. He was already at a high level in the Qi Refining Realm. Then he took a paper test...
Wang Zongtai, who was only ten years old, was agitated by the sight. He quickly changed the subject and said tactfully: "Fourth uncle, I heard from my eldest brother that he has a girl he likes. She is a very beautiful sister who is a casual cultivator."
What?
Wang Zongping instantly turned black. In order not to be admitted to the liberal arts exam, this little bastard sold him out instantly? Damn it, do you still miss the love of brothers?
Wang Shouzhe hasn't spoken yet.
Wang Shoulian on the side roared angrily: "You traitor, you are so brave!" He has been serving in the patrol camp and has caught countless rogue cult criminals in his life. In his eyes, most rogue cultivators are
