Chapter XXXVIII
After Lin Chongtian visited Lin Nantian, he returned to the patriarch's house and thought in detail about the Lin family's future development model and the details of the relocation of Tongtian City.
Night.
The current four elders of the Lin family gathered in the patriarch's house to discuss specific matters. Everyone argued endlessly, each with their own ideas and opinions, and discussed for a long time, and finally, the four elders divided into two factions and argued non-stop.
"I suggest that we immediately and seize the time to move to Tongtian City and make our reputation! Rich and famous, we can recruit a large number of cultivators who are idle and have no factions, and strengthen the strength of our Lin family! Not only that, but we can also use the Tian Yuan Dan to establish good relations with those big forces, and acquire some shops in Tongtian City, so as to develop our Lin family's own strength. The radical elder said, intent on making a big difference.
"I think we should take our time, first send some pioneers to Tongtian City to watch the situation, just you two old immortals and take people there! After all, I don't think those big forces in Tongtian City will necessarily agree with some foreign forces, that is, nouveau riche like us, it is very likely that they will unite to block us, and they may not be small. We should go steadily, first send a small group of people to Tongtian City to lay a good foundation, see the reaction of those big families, and then decide the progress of the relocation according to the situation. The conservative elders expressed their intentions.
Lin Chongtian allowed the elders who were divided into two factions to quarrel constantly, but he did not stop it, for him, the more opinions of all kinds, the better. All he had to do was brainstorm and make the decision that would be best for the family. After all, no matter how much those elders quarreled, their purpose was all to make the Lin family better, and this starting point would not change.
"You two old stubborn and old-fashioned minds! Don't you know how to read the situation! Do you know what an opportunity is? If you don't cherish such a good opportunity, then there will be no store in this village! The family is made dead by you old-fashioned people, and there is no vitality at all! When it's time to make a move, you have to make a move, and it's like a turtle that is old and shrunk in its shell!"
"Impulsiveness is the devil! If the family is disrupted by your reckless behavior, resulting in a serious loss of vitality, can you be responsible? Do things recklessly, and you are not too old to be too old, don't be so enthusiastic like a child! If the family is driven out by the great forces of Babel City because of a hasty relocation, then you are the family's sinners through the ages!"
"You two thousand-year-old tortoises in human skins! Cowardly as mice, useless, I despise you!"
"What, you, you dare to scold us! What do you know, you two old horsemen!"
Lin Chongtian looked at the four old and strong elders with a bitter smile, watching their quarrel gradually heat up, and he had the posture of rolling up his sleeves and fighting, and hurriedly persuaded them away.
"Stop, stop, stop! You guys are not too old, don't be like children, now is the time to get down to business. Lin Chongtian said solemnly.
The four elders sat on their chairs, blew their beards and stared, and stopped talking, just staring at each other fiercely. If the eyes could kill, it is estimated that these elders with immortal hearts would have died dozens of times.
Lin Chongtian coughed dryly twice and motioned for him to speak.
When the four elders gradually focused their eyes on him, Lin Chongtian slowly expressed his opinion.
"Ever since I came back from Babel City, I've been thinking about the development model of a family. Lin Chongtian took a leisurely sip of tea, "I've thought about it for a long, long time, and I've asked many people what they think of the current family situation, including you. After much deliberation and deliberation, a rough plan has gradually emerged in my mind. Lin Chongtian seemed to be confident.
The four elders looked at Lin Chongtian with solemn eyes, they knew that he was the real head of the clan, and they could only provide advice, and they could not make a final decision, and the final decision was up to the person in front of them.
Lin Chongtian felt the current atmosphere with satisfaction, and said his thoughts unhurriedly: "In my opinion, if a family wants to be strong, it must start from the foundation and its essence. First, we should encourage our people to intermarry with the outside world and have more children, so as to increase the number of our people; second, we should buy a large number of Yuan Cultivation Methods, Yuan Force Techniques, and Yuan Demon Techniques, no matter what rank they are, to enrich our family's Yuan Cultivation Secret Book.
"The first thing I understand, patriarch, of course, the more people in the family, the better. But I don't understand the purpose of the second point, if we want to implement the second point, it will cost us a lot of money in the short term. ”
Lin Chongtian knocked on the table with his hand and explained: "This is an investment, I plan to establish a peripheral force for the family, a force that hides his identity from the outside world." I've thought about it, our Lin family is not easy to be sharp, after all, we are just a small family at this stage, and we are a nouveau riche to put it mildly, we lack heritage, and Taoguang is the most suitable policy for us at this stage. However, blindly Taoguang is not a way, so on the basis of protecting the clan, the development of the family is the king.
The elders nodded slightly, expressing their approval.
Lin Chongtian was very satisfied that the elders could understand what he meant, " For a peripheral force to be established, first of all, there must be a large amount of funds, without which everything is in vain, fortunately, we are not lacking now; secondly, we must have high-level cultivators to support, which we are currently lacking, I plan to invite an elder of the previous generation who has devoted himself to cultivation to be the worship of our peripheral forces, and I can only hire them at a high price; finally, such a force must have a complete stock of cultivation secrets, otherwise, how to attract idle cultivators to join?
"Sure enough, the patriarch is more thoughtful, much better than you cowards!"
"You reckless people, what qualifications do you have to say about us! Look at the methods you think, they are all benevolent if they don't succeed, look at the methods that the patriarch thinks, even if they don't succeed, they won't catch fire, how perfect!"
Lin Chongtian looked at the elders who started arguing again, shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Stop, elders, I haven't finished talking yet." ”
"Thirdly, our family began to relocate some of our clansmen to Babel City on a regular basis. I've already established a good relationship with the big forces in Babel City, and will take care of our relocation, so go with confidence. After the relocation of our Lin family, the main thing internally is to develop the family's economy, acquire all kinds of shops in Babel City, and open pharmacies and pharmacies, and we cannot show any desire to occupy power in Babel City. ”
Lin Chongtian paused, thinking of Xiao Nantian, "Finally, I look back at all the large families and giant families in the continent, and the rise of the giant families is all led by a top cultivator in the continent. Therefore, we must focus on cultivating several outstanding talents in the family and give them the best conditions. If one day their strength is strong enough to be proud of the mainland, as long as our family foundation is enough, they will suddenly become famous on the mainland, and then the family will be strong enough! Become a giant family that has been passed down from generation to generation, and generation after generation is stronger than the next, this is our goal, I don't want a short-lived large family!"
"Bang, bang, bang!" came the applause of the elders below.
"Well said, Patriarch, we support you!"
"Perfect plan, patriarch, you really don't owe it to our patriarch!"
"Patriarch, I would like to be the first to relocate! I'll go home and pack my things now. ”
"Patriarch, let me go to Tongtian City first! You old immortal, don't rob me! or I'll not finish with you!";
