Chapter XXV. Institutions

The son of the stars, is the new hero purchased by Xiao Tianlei, 450 system gold, this is a support hero, in the game, the main role is to control the enemy, heal teammates, commonly known as "Star Mother". The reason why he chose to buy the Son of the Stars was mainly because Xiao Tianlei felt that he needed to study how much of a role the auxiliary heroes could play, so that it would be easier for many people to cooperate in the future, and of course, the cheapness of the Son of the Stars was also an important factor.

Xiao Tianlei's expectations for the Children of the Stars are mainly in the ability to heal and control, and as for the attack skills of the Children of the Stars, he always feels unreliable.

The main attack skill of the Children of the Stars - Meteor Fall, introduced in the game is to summon a meteor to fall from the sky and smash at the target location.

In reality, if a meteor really falls, what kind of power is it? A slightly larger meteor can cause great damage if it falls to the ground, and if it is larger, it will wipe out a large area if it is not good, Xiao Tianlei doesn't think that he can summon such a terrifying thing as a meteor.

After purchasing and using the Child of the Stars template, it also confirmed Xiao Tianlei's prediction, meteors falling, and they can't really summon meteors, but they can condense a meteor-like starlight in mid-air with spiritual power, which is very good-looking, and the power is just average. However, the feeling of that kind of spiritual power extending out is very strange, and I can feel something indescribable.

As for the healing ability of the Children of the Stars, it can indeed transform the Gang Qi and spiritual power into some kind of power with healing ability, and the specific effect will be verified later. Control skills, Xiao Tianlei immediately asked Xiao Tianfu to try it, it can indeed hinder the operation of skills and gangqi, the time is very short, but life and death are often instantaneous, and this time is enough to kill if used well.

If the power of these skills is greater, it will be more useful in comparison, but Xiao Tianlei has no eyebrows for a short time, just like the wandering mage, a mage hero, who wants to buy hero equipment, but doesn't know what materials to use, magic books, staffs, and other things, the system can really synthesize them?

Xiao Tianlei is not in a hurry, the mutated LOL system has no instructions, no guidance, everything has to be explored by yourself, and every skill of each hero template requires a short period of exploration, which can be regarded as a kind of fun.

The next day, Xiao Tianfu began to teach the brothers some of the uses and functions of the hero template, which made the friends eager to obtain these abilities immediately, wishing that Xiao Tianlei would go out to rob every day, but, seeing that the New Year was approaching, there were too many things to do, and they couldn't spare time at all.

Just like the Chinese New Year in his previous life, Xiao Tianlei can also be regarded as learning from the practices of those enterprises in his previous life, and gave some benefits to the people in Wild Boar Ridge, and the silver money was not used in Wild Boar Ridge, mainly some items, meat, candy, etc.

Wild Boar Ridge held a celebration banquet, everyone was happy, how busy it was for a year, everyone was happy, and the tobacco business also made a lot of money. Xiao Tianlei felt that it was necessary to unite people's hearts through some activities and make members have a greater sense of belonging. Last year, the plant similar to the chili pepper bought from the sea market was successfully planted, which also proved that it is not poisonous and can be cooked, and Xiao Tianlei made some fresh dishes by himself. In addition, a number of liquors and juices were blended, some of which were intended to be sold in small shops run by the Brotherhood.

There were also performances at the banquet, but Xiao Tianlei didn't want to see a group of people rehearsing what kind of program for the sake of performance, wasting energy, so he set up a wooden platform at random, and whoever went up to sing two mountain songs and play boxing, no matter how well the performance was, everyone was happy.

As the initiator, Xiao Tianlei was the first to perform on stage, he played a bamboo flute, originally just playing when he was bored at sea, passing the time, and gradually became proficient, he was already able to play a few pieces of music from his previous life, and what Xiao Tianlei could remember was only those classic songs, although he remembered incompletely, it was also extremely good. Some of these tunes he also taught others, they were catchy and melodious, and the brothers liked to hum a few words when they had nothing to do.

After Xiao Tianlei's performance, other brothers also came to the stage to perform, most of Shanyue's cousins can sing mountain songs, and some can also play some traditional musical instruments of Shanyue. The audience below made a fuss from time to time, and also took tables, benches, dishes, and weapons, and knocked and beat until midnight.

The banquet was probably a success, anyway, everyone was very happy, but there were some regrets, for the sake of the secrecy of the Boar Ridge, everyone could not go home.

However, Xiao Tianlei announced one thing, because recently many people proposed to take their families to Wild Boar Ridge to do things, Xiao Tianlei discussed with his grandfather Jiang Witch Doctor for a while, and finally decided that those who contributed more could take some of their family members over, of course, the premise is that they must do a good job of confidentiality, and those family members must also go through some simple review, these people must be useful for the development of Wild Boar Ridge, this is not a nursing home.

It's easy to say, this is a complicated job, all verbal instructions to complete these things is definitely not good, and the efficiency is low, Xiao Tianlei feels that a set of approval systems should be established, and there must be standardized procedures to complete this matter more effectively, it seems that the people of Wild Boar Ridge also have to register one by one, and the accounts must also be sorted out...... After Xiao Tianlei pondered these things to do, he realized, isn't this just a simplified government agency!?

With the development of Wild Boar Ridge, the population is increasing, and the affairs are becoming more and more numerous, everything is decided by Xiao Tianlei alone, obviously no, an efficient organization must be established.

Just thinking about it, Xiao Tianlei felt that he had a headache, which was very troublesome, but he had to do it, so as to avoid encountering more things that gave him a headache. Xiao Tianlei had to recall some of the practices of the previous government, record them, choose some methods that are suitable for the current situation of Wild Boar Ridge, and wait for the next year to start gradually implementing them.

When he returned home to prepare for the New Year's Festival, Xiao Tianlei and his brothers had to be busy with the affairs of the brotherhood, although the brotherhood was a peripheral organization, but now it played a big role and had to be managed well.

Many of the members of the Brotherhood come from poor families, and although they have improved after joining the Brotherhood, it is impossible to say that they have suddenly gotten out of poverty and become rich. In order to let the members of the fraternity also have a good New Year's Day, we also arrange to distribute some bonuses and condolences, which are not much, which can roughly make everyone happy.

After Xiao Tianlei prepared for the New Year's Festival, he further improved some of the constitution of the brotherhood to make it a tighter organization.

When the New Year Festival comes, it is still the same, go back to the old house of the Xiao family to worship the ancestors and eat the banquet, and worship relatives from all walks of life, but this year is a little more lively than in previous years, and there are many strange visitors. The reason is naturally that many children of the Xiao family have been admitted to the apprenticeship, and those people come to the relationship, and the protagonists of the ancestor worship are of course those who have become the apprentices, and the old people in the clan are talking about it, and these children will go to the county government to participate in the spring examination in the spring.

Xiao Tianlei's New Year's Festival was restless, on the day of the New Year's Festival, a few boys began to pinch him to rob the big households after the New Year's Festival, Xiao Tianlei did not object, he wanted the rapid development of Wild Boar Ridge, honest farming is a road, looting is also a road, two-pronged, high efficiency.

It's just that now masked thieves are also famous, and those big families have taken precautions, inviting some masters to come to the home and nursing home, patrolling day and night, raising the courtyard wall, adding bows and crossbows, installing some traps, and many local tyrants have also rebuilt Wu Fort, so that they can prevent poisonous smoke.

The difficulty of looting is much higher, but it is not enough to make Xiao Tianlei helpless, and some small Wu Forts can still be impregnable? Of course, there is no exact certainty, Xiao Tianlei will not attack those big local tyrants, and in addition to those places where the big families are painstakingly guarded, there are many other places that can be looted, such as the workshops and shops opened by those big families.

Wild Boar Ridge and Conch Bay are under construction, the population has increased a lot, and the demand for various materials is also large.

In addition to looting, mainly in the name of the Brotherhood little by little purchase, the Brotherhood's business has indeed gradually spread, all industries have been inserted, in addition to opening a small shop, but also opened a workshop, recently established a paper workshop, began to produce toilet paper, before that, the average family collected some leaves, dried to use, the rich and noble people used silk silk and the like.

Xiao Tianlei's positioning of the Brotherhood is a small gangster with the nature of a local snake, after all, Zheng Biao, the nominal boss of the Brotherhood, has no background and no power, the only thing he can rely on is a gang of gangsters, and he is a little horizontal and unscrupulous. This determines that the brotherhood is different from those gangs, and it will not be like those gangs, always have to fight for a name through martial arts and weapons, and the meaning of the existence of the brotherhood is to work together to protect their own interests, open some small shops, and do some small business.

If even this point is violated, no matter what force he has and what background, just one word, do it! In short, it's just a group of lawless bastards, who don't talk about the rules of the rivers and lakes, they can't beat one person, so everyone can go together, and any means can be used, poisoning, beating sticks, sneak attacks, and day and night attacks...... Anyway, with some unseemly means, you can't kill people, you can also disgust people, and no one wants to get into such a troublesome gang.

Although the Brotherhood will conduct martial arts teaching and training within the Brotherhood, it tells all members that they should try not to use the problems that can be solved without martial arts.

This was also done to distinguish the Brotherhood from the characteristics of the masked thieves, on one side were masked thieves with strong martial arts; On one side, there are ruffians and gangsters, who love to use the means of the next three indiscriminate. It is difficult for anyone to connect the two, originally, except for the core personnel, there are two different waves of personnel on both sides, and most members do not know how to connect with each other.

On the other hand, the Wild Boar Ridge, which is the foundation of the old nest, has further developed, and the population has increased, and it has been busy since the New Year's Festival, and more fields have been cultivated, more purple coriander and pepper have been planted, and children have to go down to the fields after class, and no one can be idle.

The construction of the management organization of Wild Boar Ridge is already in progress, Xiao Tianlei has limited energy after all, and all the brothers have been arrested by him, and each is responsible for the work of a department. It's just that if they want to be competent for these jobs, Xiao Tianlei still has to teach and guide them hand-in-hand, and he has to give some lectures from time to time. Of course, Xiao Tianlei didn't think that he could think of everything, most of the time, he would let everyone discuss and brainstorm together, which could be regarded as exercising these brothers.

In this way, Xiao Tianlei and his brothers practiced martial arts in Wild Boar Ridge, handled affairs, and occasionally went out to plunder, or went to sea to do business.

Go to Yazhou to sell tobacco, dragon's blood wine, and perfume once a year, and the ships in Conch Bay can't always be idle at other times. There are some small countries along the coast to the west, which are the vassal countries of Great Xia, rich in products, and the distance is not far, and you can run a round trip in less than ten days, and those small countries are basically respectful to the merchants from Great Xia, and the taxes are very small, so the business is quite easy to do, and the goods do not need to be too unusual, and some ordinary goods can make a lot of money. The only thing to be careful about is those who are also Great Xia merchants, many of them have backgrounds, in order to keep secrets, Xiao Tianlei naturally will not contact these Great Xia merchants.

The main purpose of going to these small countries is to get some necessary materials, food, etc., and to train troops to prepare for the next trip to Yazhou.

Xiao Tianlei has no doubt that his fleet can win, professional, armed, equipped with a variety of "high-tech" weapons, as long as it does not encounter a large number of pirates, there is absolutely no possibility of failure, and there is no large number of pirates in this part of Qionghai, and his own armed fleet can run rampant on the sea.

Not long after, because he heard some Shanyue men on the ship mention some things, Xiao Tianlei's business in the sea was also done ashore.

Some of these Shanyue men come from some villages by the sea, these villages mainly rely on fishing for a living, the sea is rich in seafood, it is reasonable to say that they should also be rich, but it is a pity that because of some seafood in the sea, these villagers carry a heavy burden, first of all, sea salt, every family in these villages has to hand over sea salt every year, in addition, there are some pearls, coral and other seafood. The Qiongzhu produced in Qionghai is very famous, the bead shape is round and full, the particles are large, and the color is beautiful, so it is set as a tribute, and each Qiongzhu has to rely on young women to risk their lives to dive into the bottom of the sea to collect.

Not only the heavy taxes, but also the exploitation of the tax collectors, who took advantage of their positions to amass a great deal of wealth.

Knowing this, Xiao Tianlei immediately decided to take someone ashore to find a tax official to try, but the tax officer didn't have much sense of precaution at all, and a few people under his command bullied and bullied the fishermen.

After many years of exploiting the villagers on the seaside, the tax officials were so fat that they collected a lot of Qiongzhu alone, and there were also a lot of other gold, silver and jewelry, Xiao Tianlei simply led people to loot along the coast for several days, and ransacked almost all the villages on the coastline of Lingzhou, and all those tax officials were handed over to Shanyue men and fishermen to dispose of.

This raid also brought back some people, mainly the families and relatives of those Shanyue men, all of whom were connected to Wild Boar Ridge or Conch Bay.

This ticket sale is afraid that it will attract the attention of the government, Xiao Tianlei knows this, and he doesn't care, can the government still come to the sea to search? That's a real needle in a haystack, and even if the current Lingzhou Navy comes, it's still to deliver food.

Things were indeed as Xiao Tianlei thought, and this matter really alarmed the government, not only that, but it was also reported to the governor of Lingzhou.
