In this way, the road was slow, and the next afternoon, a majestic city suddenly appeared at the end of the road.

It's like a giant beast hibernating!

Much more than Snow Ridge City.

"That's Ronghua City!" Bai Ling said with a smile, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, running around for days and days, making her quite tired.

You must know that except for a few people such as Shen Wanquan, the rest of the Shen family did not know that the Northland was about to be in chaos, and they all walked leisurely all the way, similar to sightseeing.

Bai Ling is an insider, and knows the sinister rivers and lakes better than Shen Wanquan and others.

However, the Shen family's hundred-meter-long team couldn't go too fast at all, and it was too tossing, and the anxiety in her heart was not something that others could understand.

Luckily, I arrived safely.

"Wow, what a big city!"

"This is Ronghua City, so prosperous!"

In the midst of the exclamation, the Shen family's team was greatly excited, and they couldn't help but move a little faster, and it didn't take long to come to the city gate.

There was already a man waiting at the city gate.

Li Xu is relatively low-key these days, showing up less, and he didn't even participate in the attack on Cangya Mountain.

Because, Shen Lian gave him an extremely important task.

Buy, buy, buy......

Li Xu continued to spend money, secretly purchased real estate, and bought eight medium-sized houses one after another in the area close to the headquarters of the Nu Kun Gang, and then found someone to connect the courtyard walls together, and built a large number of buildings, repairs, and decorations, and finally formed a luxurious mansion.

Although it is not as good as the top mansion of Wanfu, it is also extremely wide, with small buildings and corridors, everything is available, and it is a little more magnificent than ordinary mansions.

At first, Li Xu thought that Shen Lian was building a private house for himself, and he tried his best to handle it, and even after the mansion was completed, he purchased a treasure at a high price in Gu Garden, which was called "Mirror High Hanging".

This treasure was made by Duan Rongrong, who managed the strange Gu area of the Gu Garden.

Her "mirror Gu" can show the true face of things, remove the false and the true, and even gain insight into the good and evil of people's hearts.

With the help of the treasure "Mirror High Hanging" created by the Mirror Gu, it can release the light of the Mirror to form a protective shield to protect an area from the invasion of demons.

Of course, the strength of the protective shield is actually very limited, and it can't completely block the monster from entering, but it can serve as a warning.

The most important thing is that through the mirror, the guards of the home guard can instantly lock the location of the monsters, so that the monsters that break into the courtyard have nowhere to hide, and can attack in the shortest possible time.

Many wealthy families are equipped with similar warning babies at home.

Li Xu builds a mansion according to high standards, this kind of thing is naturally indispensable, and the total cost is also extremely amazing.

However, Shen Lian was not short of money, the Chilian demon corpse was sold for 10 million taels, plus the wealth that Shao Zhijiang of the Black Tiger Village had looted all his life, it was just enough to build such a large mansion.

After everything was ready, what stunned Li Xu was that Shen Lian suddenly became the boss of the Nu Kun Gang, and it was at this time that he realized that the mansion was for the Shen family.

"Miss Bailing, you have finally arrived, and the helper is looking forward to it day and night, always worrying about your safety on the road. Li Xu smiled and stepped forward to greet him.

When Bai Ling heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised: "The helper is worried?"

"Oh, Miss Bailing doesn't know yet, the Man Gang Leader has abdicated, Elder Shen has succeeded as the new Gang Leader, and your son is already a powerful Gang Leader. Li Xu was stunned for a moment, and then explained with a smile.

Bai Ling was shocked and extremely shocked: "Childe has become a helper?!"

Li Xu smiled: "Please come with me, settle the helper's family first, and when you meet the helper, you will know everything." ”

......

When Li Xu arranged for the Shen family to live in the mansion.

In the main hall, Shen Lian was discussing a major matter with the two deputy gang leaders and the five elders.

"Gang leader, this gang has always been working with eight elders, and now there is a shortage of three at once, and there is a serious shortage of manpower, and the selection of talents is the first priority at present. Bian Chanyu bowed his head slightly and said.

Shen Lian and Bu Lingkong have all been promoted, Li Yunxing was sent by Man Boyu to fight in the Lin family, and there are three vacancies in the elder seats, and they urgently need to replenish fresh blood.

Shen Lian was wearing a cool black robe, sitting in the position of the gang leader, looked left and right, and said with a smile: "Is there a candidate?"

Immediately, Bian Chanyu got up and handed over a document similar to a personnel file, and said seriously: "These members are all veterans with great achievements in the gang, and they are in the prime of life, and they should be qualified enough to be candidates for the fight." Of course, in the end, who will be the elder must be chosen, and the master must be discerned and determined by the hero. ”

Shen Lian took it and looked at it, nodded, and said slowly: "These people are all good, they need to be qualified......

Bu Lingkong raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and asked, "Does the helper have other ideas?"

Shen Lian sighed and said in a deep voice: "I just received the news that the Lin family and the Huang family have started a full-scale war, in addition to the two major families of Lin and Huang, there are also many families and sects involved in it, I believe that it will take a long time for the turmoil to sweep the entire Northland, and the era of chaos in the Northland is coming!"

When everyone heard this, their breath was stagnant.

Although everyone has been mentally prepared, they have a little luck and fantasy in their hearts, in case the Lin and Huang families reconcile, but unfortunately, they still started a full-scale war, causing everyone to live in peace.

Kong Yu sighed: "Alas, the monsters are in trouble, and they can't be killed, but these families are ......."

The tone was filled with endless disappointment.

Everyone nodded.

Shen Lian said calmly: "The reason is the strong rise of the Huang family. The 'Immortal Gu' refined by the Huang family was too powerful, causing the Huang family to develop expansively and urgently need a lot of resources, so the Huang family continued to swallow up other families, causing great panic, and even threatening the Lin family, the first family in the Northland. After the Lin family intervened, the Huang family reined in, but this still could not stop the Huang family's ambitions, and the two sides formed gangs to accumulate strength for several months, and finally began to attack each other, endlessly. ”

Bu Lingkong was a little stunned, and said: "The troubled times are coming, and the helper wants to make some changes in the selection of talents, right?"

Shen Lian nodded: "Selecting the virtuous and appointing the talented, it has always been the virtue in the front and the last, looking at a person to look at the character first and then the talent, this is the gang rule." I want to make some adjustments so that I can come first and be virtuous last. ”

Kong Yu and the others were all slightly discolored after a stagnation of breath.

In particular, any gang or organization values seniority.

Qualifications are often the passport to promotion.

The longer a person has been in an organization, the more he or she has been tested by the organization in all aspects, such as loyalty, talent, etc., and the organization knows everything about the person and trusts him.

After all, trust is what matters, and trust takes time to cultivate and prove.

Kong Yun, Bian Chanyu and others are all reused in this mode.

Of course, this model is not perfect, and it will also breed scourges like Cao Youqing, who is not satisfied with the status quo and tries to usurp the throne.

On the contrary, if you don't look at your qualifications, you will be promoted unusually, such as Shen Lian, who was promoted by Man Boyu in this way, and the disadvantages can be seen from this.

"Talent comes first, virtue comes last. ”

To put it bluntly, it is only based on a person's ability, and as for whether this person is loyal or not, it is placed in the second place.

As long as this person is talented, even if he is a treacherous villain, he will still be given a heavy responsibility, and this mode of employing people is tantamount to luring wolves into the house, and there are great hidden dangers.

To take the simplest example, after a madman is unusually promoted, he holds great power, but his ambition is still not satisfied, and he feels that he is more talented than the gang leader, as soon as such ambition appears, he is very likely to promote himself unusually and kick the gang leader down to the stage to become the gang leader.

The most terrible thing is that this is not against the gang rules, because according to the rule that talent comes first, virtue comes last, and the gang leader is kicked out of power, because the gang leader is incompetent, who is to blame.

And others will follow suit, and they will inevitably find out their ways to usurp the throne, and the vicious circle will continue, and the Angry Kun Gang will finish playing sooner or later.

Kong Yu frowned and said: "If you open this head, it is possible to lure the wolf into the room and bind yourself as a cocoon, please help the master think twice." ”

Among all the people present, only Kong Yu was qualified to say this to Shen Lian, which can be regarded as a word of loyalty and sincerity!

Bu Lingkong also said cautiously: "Once this rule is activated, people's hearts will be moved, and subordinates will not obey the boss, whoever is strong will be the boss, it will cause great turmoil, please help the master think twice!"

"Please think twice!"

Bian Chanyu, Gongsun Zhi and others also all held opposing views.

Shen Lian smiled and said domineeringly: "Employing people in troubled times is not virtuous." Rest assured, with me, no one can turn the sky upside down, and there is no one I can't determine!"

The implication is that I am not Man Boyu, and if I dare to enable this rule, it only means one thing, and I, Shen Lian, will always be the strongest!

Sure enough, as soon as they heard this, Kong Yu and the others were completely speechless, and they all twitched their faces and smiled bitterly.

"The Helper is mighty, so do as you wish. Bian Chanyu smiled lightly.

After the meeting, Shen Lian returned to the study on the fifth floor.

"Helper, there is a man named Double Happiness who asks to see you. Before Shen Lian sat down, someone came to report.

"Ask him to come in. ”

"Yes. ”

After a while, Shuangxi walked into the door quickly, bowed and saluted: "I have seen Gang Master Shen, congratulations on Gao Sheng, you are in power!"

Shen Lian said indifferently: "Sit down." ”

Shuangxi walked to the chair on the side and sat down, and said straight to the point: "Gang Master Shen is in power at the beginning, and everything is busy and hard, Sister Yin understands over there, but the business between us is very profitable, and Gang Master Shen must stick to it." ”

It's been some time since they partnered with the Chang family, Shen Lian was first busy fighting wits and courage with Man Boyu, and then dealing with various major affairs as a helper, so busy that he didn't even have time to cultivate, but Wan Yin's side couldn't wait.

Shen Lian said with a smile: "I have already chosen the next target, Tian family." ”

Shuangxi frowned and thought for a while, and said, "That Tian family in Longshang?"

Longshang is a place name, there is a city built on the high ground, called Longshang City, the Tian family is the owner of Longshang City, and it is also the only family.

A family owns a city.

Shen Lian nodded: "I just got the news that the Tian family was also involved in the fight between the two great families of Lin and Huang, and was hit hard at the beginning, and the Tian family suffered nearly half of the casualties. ”

Shuangxi hummed and said suspiciously: "We also got the news, but the Tian family's bloodline Gu is a 'Crazy Knife Gu', this Gu feeds on crazy sword intent, and there is no place for us to manipulate it." ”

Shen Lian asked rhetorically, "Didn't you notice the Tian family's opponent?"

Shuangxi thought for a moment and replied: "The Tian family is an ally of the Lin family, and they are hostile to the Huang family, and the opponent of that fight is the Hua family, an ally of the Huang family. ”

Shen Lian took over the conversation: "The Hua family's bloodline Gu is 'Poison Gu', specializing in poison Dao, it is said that the reason why the Tian family suffered heavy losses was because they were ambushed by the Hua family, and the ambush location was 'Dove Poison Valley', do you understand?"

Shuangxi blinked, thought about it, and a layer of fine beads of sweat gradually appeared on his forehead, and said with a wry smile: "Please also ask Gang Master Shen to make it clear." ”

The corners of Shen Lian's mouth twitched, and he said with a smile: "The Dove Poison Valley has a strong 'earth lung qi', which was released by the Hua family, which caught the Tian family off guard, so the injured people of the Tian family should all be hit by the 'poison of the earth lungs', and this poison can only be removed by the 'mash liquor' that is a specialty of Tang Wang Mountain, which cleanses the five internal organs." ”
