That night, a total of fifteen people were executed.

In addition to the five branches of the Li family, these people also included a member of the Li family's small sect. His son was originally a member of the Huaihuang Li family's branch. Later, because of the discovery of the spiritual orifice, he crossed the class in one fell swoop and became what he is today. Members of the Li family's small sect, relying on their son, a middle-aged man named Li Yang's clan brother, plundered nearly ten thousand taels of money alone, and this was just over a year.

The rest are relatives like the Fan family and the Lin family who are related to the female relatives of the Li family. These people are the big families who took advantage of the Li family's success and established the family's new foundation in one fell swoop.

It's not surprising that some borers appear.

Li Yang, Cai Yanzhi, and Li Chengping returned to Taoyuan Mountain.

"Brother..." Li Xuan stepped forward with a guilty look on his face. He also received a lot of rumors about these things, but because they were all members of his own family, he chose to ignore them.

I never thought that Li Yang's execution today would be to chop off fifteen heads. To Zhao, Ding and other aristocratic families, a dozen lives was nothing, but to the stability of the Li family, it was a big deal.

As the person in charge of training soldiers, Li Xuan felt somewhat ashamed.

It can be regarded as a failure of self-discipline.

Li Yang was about to speak, but was stopped by Cai Yanzhi, who walked to Li Yang's side.

"Sister-in-law." Li Xuan was already prepared to be punished. Although this sister-in-law had been in the Li family for more than two months, she still felt a little uncomfortable with the sudden appearance of her sister-in-law. The main reason was that the difference between their backgrounds was too big. , the class gap formed in our bones.

Cai Yanzhi said with a smile: "Your brother's behavior tonight is to establish his authority. In the past, you used rules and etiquette to restrain the people at most, but for those who suddenly gain wealth and power, they will quickly lose their way. They need to see their flesh and blood. I I think even if you don’t do anything tonight to establish your authority, you will still be prepared in the future, right?”

Li Xuan then turned his attention to Li Yang, who sighed: "I really can't hide it from you."

Li Yang said helplessly: "I have also figured it out these days. Our Li family has only been established for a few years. For those aristocratic families, a family of a few years is just like a newborn child. Facing those who often live for hundreds or hundreds of years, The family is too weak, and the previous path of steady development is no longer feasible. The blockade of the Zhao and Zhang families does not leave us much time. We can only watch the bloody fight out, and this requires everyone. One heart."

Li Yang has thought a lot these days. The mountains he relies on will fall, and everyone will leave. Only if he takes strong enough measures, otherwise the greatest achievement in his life will be to be stuck in this remote place.

Although they are all battles between immortal cultivators, the people under their command also play a vital role. All the necessary cultivation resources ultimately need to be mined and transformed by the people below.

"So in the next few years, there may be constant friction between us and the Zhao family, and there may even be bloody conflicts." Li Yang calmly informed Li Xuan of his conjecture.

"Then I will seize the time to train the clan's warriors." Li Xuan said.

With Li Yang's words, Li Xuan, who originally thought he had done something wrong, felt relieved.

Li Yang and Cai Yanzhi returned to the house.

"These are the soldiers' uniforms and the clan's main courtyard's clothing that I designed earlier." Cai Yanzhi took out two drawings from the storage bag and placed them in front of Li Yang.

As a soldier's clothing, it is based on black. The overall style of the armor is an improved version of the armor of ancient Xia warriors. Cai Yanzhi's design is more angular, and overall it adds a chilling temperament.

The costume of the main courtyard of another ethnic group is a black slim-fitting brocade dress with gold patterns on a black background, and the golden outline of the mythical beast Xiezhi (xiezhi). This mythical beast is "similar to a unicorn, with thick black hair all over its body and two eyes." "Bright and energetic, usually with a horn on the forehead." It has always been regarded as a totem of law enforcers. Now it is perfectly suitable to be used on the clothes of the clan's main courtyard.

"When did you finish the painting?" Li Yang was a little confused.

Cai Yanzhi smiled and said: "I noticed it a few days ago when you were reading the history books of the ancient Xia Kingdom. In addition, I am good at painting, so I took the lead in painting it. What do you think?"

The various arts of cultivating immortals, including alchemy, drawing talismans, forging, swordsmanship, etc., are all additional paths of practice that monks choose after entering the Qi training stage. Of course, there are also considerable thresholds. Apart from the high threshold of swordsmanship, alchemy has always been a The choice of wood and fire monks, and drawing talismans requires extremely strong soul power and mental strength to draw before you can get started.

Cai Yanzhi is a talisman master, and he often draws talismans on weekdays, so he is also quite accomplished in painting.

"As expected of my wife, the clothes she painted are so majestic and elegant, I almost want to be the leader of this clan." Li Yang praised with a smile.

Cai Yanzhi rolled her eyes at him and said, "It's not done yet. Since you think it's good, let Chengping go down and call some embroiderers to tailor these clothes tomorrow."

Li Yang hugged her and said softly: "Now that you are the mistress of the family, you can make the decisions on your own in internal affairs, and leave external affairs to me. While you are still cultivating these years, you can put in more effort. In ten years, I’m afraid I’ll just be an ordinary old man.”

Cai Yanzhi leaned on him and said, "If things calm down by then, I will delegate my power and stay with you forever, but before that, we must make the family prosperous, otherwise your dream of retreating behind the scenes will be in vain."

Li Yang let out a long sigh and said, "Yes, we have a long way to go."

"I want to gather those embroidery girls and set up an embroidery workshop department, as well as various other craftsmen, and establish corresponding functional organizations. From now on, the families of these people will pay them salaries, and they can concentrate on producing and supplying the family. Product." Cai Yanzhi said softly.

Li Yang asked with slight confusion: "It's like the official system of the ancient Xia Kingdom? Everyone performs their own duties?"

Cai Yanzhi nodded and said: "Using secular methods to manage people is the most effective way. After all, these are evolved by ordinary people over thousands of years. Just like the way monks evolved today's practice, they are all progressive. , It’s a pity that the major immortal clans and sects completely divided the mortal world, thus making it disappear.”

"Does your Cai family do this too?" Li Yang asked.

Cai Yanzhi shook his head and said, "Even the doorkeepers of the Cai family are all miscellaneous monks. Do you think this system will be needed?"

Li Yang smiled awkwardly. Today's Li family doesn't even have a Qi training period.

Cai Yanzhi explained: "Since I was a child, I have seen that the people in the clan do not treat the people as human beings. They can do whatever they want, and even life and death are just a word from them. Although I am young and can't bear it, I am powerless after all. Facing a family, Habits developed over thousands of years, one person is so insignificant, so now that the Li family has just started, I think that the family you founded must be different from those big aristocratic families."

She raised her head and looked at Li Yang lovingly with those extremely beautiful eyes.

"In my eyes, they have never been simple tools. Although in terms of combat power, these common people and even soldiers, in front of us foundation-building monks, may be able to kill thousands of lives with a single spell, but we Since you have enjoyed their support, you will naturally protect them." Li Yang looked into his eyes and said, "And your method is not bad, so just do it boldly."

"Husband."

"Ok?"

"Before that, let's continue the bloodline of the Li family."

Li Yang was stunned for a while, and then he understood what she meant from her blushing face. He blew out the candle, and bursts of murmurs sounded in the room.
