Li Yuanping returned to the town, his heart was still angry and painful, his eyes were red and he entered the nave, and he was drowsy in all directions, and the two lights were like beans, flickering faintly.

He dragged his tired body to the highest seat, drew a paperwork, but could not read it, coughed irritably, and swallowed the blood.

Dou Yi hurriedly rushed in and climbed up the steps, Li Yuanping said in a low voice:

"Grinding."

Dou Yi honestly finished grinding the ink, Li Yuanping waved his hand, and he retreated, Li Yuanping picked up the pen, slowly calmed down, and thought carefully for a while.

The position of the head of the family, to balance the surnames of the clan, manage the Lingtian, and distribute the clan, involves the interests of almost the entire clan from the fetal breath to the practice of qi.

Now that the Li family has received the great clan of the Fu Seed and suppressed the family, it is natural that they can arbitrarily designate the head of the family, the sage is the king, and the fool obeys his fate.

But once this precedent is opened, in the future, the bloodlines of the descendants of the talisman species will gradually drift apart, and they will have different backgrounds, competing interests, and each supporting the same line, then there will be chaos.

"If that time comes, the position of the head of the family will become a means for several monks to compete for power and profit, and to scrape the family..."

"What's more..."

Li Yuanping's emotions calmed down, his thinking became more and more agile, and he said secretly:

"Looking at Ming'er's appearance, after all, he is still useless, if the Li family is handed over to him, how can he suppress the foreign surnames? How can you control Li Jiman? ”

In the main hall, only Li Yuanping sat on the top, it was dim, his eyes stayed on the faint light, and his voice was low:

"In the final analysis, if there is a lack of great supernatural powers in the family to suppress it, the foundation can be built, and the purple mansion is hard to hope for, if it is not blessed by atmospheric luck, it will inevitably decay or split......"

He looked at it in a daze, the light and shadow of the morning light had slowly risen from the front of the hall, and his brother Li Yuanjiao was standing quietly in front of the temple door.

Chenxi slowly climbed the steps of the middle hall, and Li Yuanping said in a muffled voice:

"Today's patriarchal law is made by great-ancestors, and there were only a few fetuses in the family in the past... Can Ann think of what he looks like today? Blindly inheriting the patriarchal law is probably not a good way. ”

Only then did Li Yuanping find Li Yuanjiao standing in front of him, his eyes shimmered, and he said softly:

"Brother, if I die, who should be the main position in the family, suppress the foreign surnames, drive the Shanyue, manage the clan, and cultivate the younger generations?"

Li Yuanjiao paused and hesitated:

"At the moment, the only one who can take on the big task is Xi Jun, except for him, Xi Yu is too good, and Xi Ming is..."

"It's already so difficult for the Xiyue generation! Several people are highly talented, and no one should be in charge. ”

Li Yuanping continued:

"If the Xiyue generation passes like this, and the Chengming generation has no male master, what should it do?"

Li Yuanjiao vaguely understood something, and replied:

"If so, there is nothing to be done."

"Brother, I want to change the sectarian system."

He stood up abruptly and said:

"The position of the head of the family is too big, it was set up by Xiang Pinggong when he was there, but how many people in the clan can get him? This method can centralize the profits, but it is too difficult to operate."

"It is impossible for the younger generations to be able to produce a superb, low-talented Bo Maison, Xi Ming's matter seems to be accidental, but in fact, his own family is no longer able to reach such a method of governance, sooner or later, something will always happen."

Li Yuanjiao glanced at him deeply, didn't say anything, and said softly only after half a sound:

"Let it go, brother will help you watch."

Li Yuanping seemed to have completely recovered from his disappointment with his eldest son, but instead had a more depressed taste, and said in a deep voice:

"Measure the spiritual land first, and make a book and record it... Decentralization! ”

…………

For the family, it is almost impossible to find out the private spiritual field, and even the Qingchi Sect has no way to calculate the spiritual field of the family under the rule, so it can only be scribbled according to the number of foundations to collect offerings.

Without him, as long as the phantom array is covered, a small piece of land is inconspicuous in the vast mountains and seas, unless it is a coincidence, the spiritual sense is swept lightly, and nothing can be found.

Although the Qingchi Sect has a special secret method for breaking the formation, it is impossible to inspect every inch of land one by one, so naturally it can only be estimated according to the spiritual veins of the earth.

This is also the reason why many ruins in the sea still exist after the battle of immortals and demons, and the phantom arrays of these sects are even more advanced, and you can't find the entrance even if you break your head.

However, Li Yuanjiao just invited out the Fajian, and with a slight movement, every inch of land up and down the entire Li family could be seen clearly, which Wang surnames secretly built a small courtyard by themselves, secretly drew a spiritual field, and exposed them one by one.

"Sure enough..."

This thing was inevitable, and several Wang surnames under the rule of the Li family all developed the spiritual field privately, secretly surrounded the yard in the barren land in the mountains and wilderness that the Li family could not look down on, arranged a phantom array, and planted rice privately.

This is not bad, over the years, the number of monks with foreign surnames has gradually increased, and they have also come into contact with many cultivation methods from the scattered cultivation places, and not all the spiritual tricks have been sent to the Li family, and there are even monks with foreign surnames who go out to look for opportunities and never return.

Li Yuanjiao's eyes swept away, and even a few small sect cultivators of the Xiyue generation participated in it, and only sighed silently.

"This land is barren and barren, but it can't stand it for nothing! After all, no matter how good the fields in the clan are, most of the output still has to be handed in, so how can they plant and harvest their own happiness. ”

These Lingtian families have been checked twice, and the rest are the products allowed by the rules, Li Yuanjiao slowly drew the catalogue and returned to the hall, Li Yuanping has been working hard for a long time.

Seeing Li Yuanjiao coming back, Li Yuanping took the catalogue drawn in his hand, surrounded several immortal mountains, groaned for a while, and said softly:

"Brother, I carefully checked the path of Lixia County and the Yuan family now, you can take a look at my method."

Li Yuanjiao lowered his eyebrows and looked at it, and there were a few big words at the beginning of the book:

"Clan duality, peak and town system."

Li Yuan was pale, his eyes were bright, and he explained:

"Now there are more and more monks in the family, I want to separate the clan system and the clan system, the upper clan and the lower clan, the immortals and mortals are separated, the monks enter the peak for the clan, and the mortals go down the mountain for the clan, unless the demon is appointed, they are not allowed to go down the mountain."

"Once the foreign surname and the clan have spiritual skills, they will be sent to the main peak Lijing Mountain to practice, and they will be carefully taught by the monks of our family, and they will continue to practice if they have high qualifications, and they will be sent to other peaks if they have low qualifications."

"Each immortal mountain has its own mansion, dispersed the children of the four veins into it, and set up peak masters, pickets, and clan leaders...... All the spiritual fields under the mountain are no longer assigned one by one, but are sent by their respective immortal mountains. ”

Li Yuanping said softly:

"The monks of each immortal mountain took turns to assign and exchange, and the spiritual objects received were directly imported to Li Jing and sent to the Meiqi Cave Mansion, as for the head of the family... Only the lord is promoted and transferred, the clan is picketing the right and wrong in the clan, there is a law in the family, and most of the greed for spiritual things is bound to be exposed! ”

His eyes sparkled, and he continued:

"On the other hand, today, the reason why many foreign surnames and branch monks in the clan steal spiritual rice, go around to hunt for treasures, transport spiritual objects, and go out to seek Taoism is nothing more than that there is no other way to go in my family except to plant spiritual rice, there is no room for rise, and naturally there is no attached heart."

"Now this method can not only allow my family not to have to find a hopeless heir to govern the family and maintain stability, but also fabricate a share of the power class and absorb these people in my family..."

Li Yuanjiao finished reading the detailed regulations in his hand, which naturally included not only a few sentences on Li Yuanping's mouth, but also a large number of picket restrictions, and various cultivation restrictions to restrain corruption and rebellion.

"If this is the case, the manpower of the clan in the supervision will be doubled several times, and all kinds of positions of power will also be distributed to the clan to support the incorruptible..."

Li Yuanjiao frowned and looked at it for a while, Li Yuanping's method can indeed favor most of the monks, but it also makes the Li family's ruling cost greatly increased, and he can't figure out which one is higher in his heart, so he is silent.

Li Yuanping smiled confidently:

"Cultivating immortals and seeking the Tao is the most greedy thing in the world, my family will be able to produce pills immediately, as long as it is bound to these powers, I don't know how many people will rush to it! What's more, the desire for power is one of the nine tribulations, and with a two-pronged approach, how many people can resist it? ”

He said in a low voice:

"As long as the foreign surname and the side branch are dedicated to climbing the power, they can be used by me, and there is no need to produce a hero who can suppress them and drive them from generation to generation, even mediocre people are enough."

"Even on ordinary days, according to the list handed over by the clan main courtyard, I can be promoted at will, and even after cultivation, I can govern my family."

Li Yuanjiao also gradually became moved, and took his words:

"In this way, my family doesn't have to pay attention to the foreign surname all the time, as long as I watch a few outstanding people in time, and suppress them with the wife of the clan and Xuanjian, I can sit firmly in the fairy mountain..."

"Not bad."

Li Yuanping said:

"Even if it is to distribute more clan money, my brother is about to break through the foundation, and the family will definitely be very different at that time."

Li Yuanjiao finally nodded in agreement and replied:

"But after all, we juniors are not good, it is difficult to centralize power, delegate power and profit, in order to seek stability, I don't know... I don't know how to meet my elders. ”

Li Yuanping also nodded silently and comforted:

"The most profitable may not be the most stable, in the future, the family will gradually expand, sooner or later it will be necessary to divide power, it is impossible to gather in one person... My family can't afford to lose. ”

Li Yuanjiao chatted with him for a few words, his heart sank, and he went to Wutu Mountain, preparing to cultivate for a period of time to stabilize his cultivation, and then retreated to break through the foundation.

………

Yuting Mountain.

The snow on Yuting Mountain was still white and bright, Li Xijun's eyes widened, he exhaled white gas, and hit the long sword in his hand, condensing a thin layer of frost.

""Cold Truffle Snow Jue" is a three-grade exercise, revealing snow on the body and stepping on the cold wind."

His white clothes are fluttering, his cultivation has reached the first level of qi training, and his cultivation has been stabilized, and the true yuan is as white as frost, circulating around his side, and with the green edge in his hand, it is dusty.

In just over two years, the three Xi Yue generations have broken through one after another, adding three descendants to the Li family to practice qi.

Li Yuanjiao and Li Qinghong retreated before and after, and the descendants and foreign surnames in the family have made great progress, there are not many small sects in the Yuanqing generation, and the Li family has only increased in the number of small sect monks in the Xiyue generation, mainly in the two veins, and gradually began to take charge of the Lingtian.

According to the patriarchal law of the Li family, most of the descendants of Li Mutian's concubine brothers gradually turned from a small sect to a branch because of the scarcity of spiritual skills, and withdrew from the stage of history.

Due to the two major sects of the Li family's Xuanjing generation, Li Xuanling and Li Xuanfeng's temperance heirs, the Li family's four-vein small sect only flourished in the third generation, with the small sect formed by Li Xuanxuan's concubine and Li Yuanyun's concubine descending from the small sect, taking over the authority of the previous generation.

Of course, in Li Xijun's opinion, this matter is too good, so that hundreds of mortal elders of the same generation as his father will not pop up above his head, and the patriarchal relationship that is estranged from the center of power will be closer, and many contradictions can be cleared up.

"Childe."

An Siming came up with his sword, arched his hand towards him, and asked respectfully.

Li Xijun has been in retreat for a year and a half, and suddenly felt that An Siming's spirit and spirit were different, as if his life had a head, and he seemed to be extremely attentive, and suddenly smiled:

"But you're married?"

An Siming was stunned, waved his hand again and again, and continued:

"Childe is laughing, Childe Xiyu is already waiting at the bottom of the mountain."

Li Xijun fell to the foot of the mountain in the wind, and his brother Li Xiyu had been waiting for a long time, wearing light armor, and he was twenty-six or seventeen years old, becoming more and more mature.

Li Xiyu is also practicing qi cultivation, practicing "Jianghe One Qi Jue", marrying a woman from the Tian family, and most of the concubines are selected from the An family, so there are many heirs under his knees, most of whom are two or three years old.

Since Li Xiyu was a father, he grew a beard, wore armor and tied his hair, and was quite dignified, greeted him with a smile, and said:

"It's been a long time since I saw my brother."

Li Xijun nodded slightly, landed beside him, and the heavy horse on the side snorted and looked at him vigilantly.

Li Xijun's spiritual sense was swept away, and the two sides were full of monks, mainly his cousins and foreign surnames from poor families, standing respectfully on both sides.

When Li Xiyuan was young, he loved his brother and befriended monks, and they received Li Xiyuan's kindness in the past, but now they are swarming around him.

Li Xiyu waved his generous hand, and everyone retreated, and the two of them paced on the bluestone road, Li Xiyuan's voice was warm, and he smiled:

"This year, you and Ximing have been in retreat and cultivating, and things in the family have changed greatly, and the head of the family has reformed the sect system, and now it is not what it used to be."

So let's talk about what has happened in the past year and a half, Li Xijun frowned, and listened to what he said before and after, Li Xijun said:

"Now this matter is easy to do, several immortal mountains have changed the system, Daxing Palace, and all the monks are very cooperative... Pay for it yourself..."

"They naturally cooperate!"

Li Xijun just went back and forth in his heart, and he knew it clearly, his face was not very good-looking, and he said coldly:

"The clan has given a position of power, given to Yu Lu, this one is not a fool, naturally he is very happy!"

Li Xijun said on his lips, secretly thinking in his heart:

"No wonder the aura of Yuting Mountain has decreased a lot, it turns out that there are monks who have entered the mountain!" It's time for the family to start building the Spirit Gathering Circle... It will not delay the cultivation of the lineage. ’

Li Xiyu hurriedly smiled and said:

"It's not for them to take it in vain, the clan has arranged all kinds of chores, and they are also running outside on weekdays, and now they can still make some subsidies at home, so that they won't let ..."

Li Xijun saw that he didn't understand, and seeing that there was no one around, he sighed:

"Brother, the elders have no choice but to divide the power in their hands, and the juniors should feel ashamed......"

The Li family slowly changed its political system in the process of expansion, which would also bury hidden dangers and potential outbreaks.
