The next day, Yang Cheng set off for Baixi Village. This matter, he needs to personally confirm, once the raw materials of dairy products can be determined, it is very helpful for the future development of food, after all, there are many products that can be made from dairy products.

There are many dangers outside the city-state, and the officials can't control it, and they can't ban private fights, not to mention the surrounding bandits and monsters in the depths of the dense forest. Fortunately, Baixi Village is not far from the city-state, and it can't reach the gathering place of demon beasts. Lu Baichuan personally escorted him this time, and for the sake of insurance, he also brought a small team of guards to prevent him from being entangled, and someone could protect Yang Cheng.

The leader of the seventh team is named Murong Tie, a martial artist in the middle stage of foundation building, who was originally a side branch of the Murong family in Qingshui City. It is also a collateral branch that cannot enter the eyes of the family, and it fully meets the standards of cannon fodder outcasts, so it naturally falls into the current field.

He was already disheartened with his family, and he no longer had to take on the family responsibilities that did not have much kindness, let alone go back to be sneered at by the high-ranking family lineage, but he felt relaxed. In addition to being transferred to Wuzhou City, where he was tortured in a prisoner of war camp for several months, he considered himself very lucky.

Murong Tie is an optimistic martial artist, and the news that the family will arrange family housing and academies for the Yang Mansion personnel last night reached their nursing home, and many people were as excited as him.

Since I don't plan to go back, I will find an opportunity to take my wife and children over to reunite with the family and live a good life away from the family. Although the Yang family is far inferior to the Murong family, no matter how strong the Murong family is, it has nothing to do with him. An ordinary clansman like him from a side branch is, to put it bluntly, a thug who is maintained by blood.

Although staying in a small family like the Yang family has no future for him. Fortunately, he has no ambitions, and it is not a happy destination to be able to live a dull life with his relatives here. In the Yang family, he can feel that unique atmosphere, and everyone can have a respect for being treated as a "person". The head of the house is also very easy-going, and when he is not busy, he will eat and chat with them, which is deeply loved by everyone.

Today, the team he led happened to be escorted out of the city by Senior Lu's platoon, and he was both nervous and excited, and he didn't dare to miss a minute. I hope to make meritorious service this time, I heard that the young master never skimps on rewards. If he can take the opportunity of meritorious service, accept a vote, and propose to the young master to officially join the Yang family and become a family martial artist, he will be able to pick up his wife and children as soon as possible.

Yang Cheng and Lu Baichuan took Xiao Wu and the seventh team of guards, and a group of ten people went to the south city gate.

As soon as I arrived at the gate of the southern city, I saw a large group of carriages about to leave the city gate. In front of the convoy, Yang Cheng and the others looked small and had to give way to the side and let the convoy go first.

I saw that there were all old and weak women and children in the carriage, and there must be about a hundred people, and the adults all looked sad, and the children wept incessantly.

"Hey, did you see it, this is the clansman expelled by the Bai family in Wuzhou yesterday" The passerby whispered.

Another person asked, "Which Bai family?"

"Which one can it be? There are not eighty or one hundred families surnamed Bai in Wuzhou City, and those who dare to call the Bai family in Wuzhou are of course the largest families in Wuzhou City. It is said that this clan made a small mistake and was personally ordered to be expelled by the head of the family, 'Jade Sword and Silver Thread' Bai Duiyun. He was also commanded never to return to the city," the man replied.

"Tsk, this Bai family master is really the first person to practice in Wuzhou, cold-blooded, ruthless, and decisive. Expelling so many people at once, out of the city, there are countless monsters and bandits, I'm afraid the chances of surviving are slim," the questioner smacked his tongue.

Everyone sighed, "It's not, nine deaths!"

Yang Cheng and the others didn't know the people of the Bai family, and they didn't go to talk, they followed all the way behind, and their own roads were different, so they diverged and went their own way.

Today the sky is clear, the wind is beautiful.

There is a large area of farmland outside the city, as far as the eye can see, and then there are deep mountains on the periphery. Some powerful families will occupy some treasure land for the purpose of cultivating elixir fields. Tens of thousands of mountains deeper are the places where demon beasts are rampant, and only a few great human sects can gain a foothold.

Baixi Village is not remote, it is relatively close to the city, and there are some small thieves at most. When Lu Baichuan walked out of the city gate, he was no longer restricted by the forbidden flying array, and jumped on the lark flying sword alone. Holding his hands on his shoulders, he stood proudly in the air, his clothes fluttering, and he looked like an immortal. provoked everyone below and was envious.

Seeing Yang Cheng's envy, seeing the chic flying of this imperial sword, is the motivation for his cultivation. Wouldn't it be wonderful if I could achieve Jindan, open the sea and the sky, and let me swim!

Thinking of this, he raised his head and shouted, "Brother Lu!"

Lu Baichuan looked back and looked down: "What's the matter with Brother Yang?"

"How's the air up there, better than the air down there?"

"......" Lu Baichuan was speechless.

With Lu Baichuan shocking the surroundings, ordinary thieves didn't dare to make a move when they saw the Jindan powerhouse. There are seven twists and turns all the way, and there is no turmoil.

Xiao Wu drove the car, and Yang Cheng invited Murong Tie to get in the car, wanting to learn about the situation of the big family with him, and he was very interested in understanding the management methods of various families in this world.

Murong Tie also wants to get close to the main family and plan for the future, if the core secrets of the family are naturally not revealed, fortunately, he is only a marginal person, and he doesn't know what can be regarded as a secret, so he also knows everything.

The strength of the big families is comparable to that of the sect. The sect relies on the relationship between master and apprentice inheritance, and it is condensed in one place. And the family relies on the continuation of the bloodline, uniting the clansmen. The Murong family is a big family similar to the five major families in Wuzhou City, with tens of thousands of clansmen, basically everyone cultivates, and their strength can be described as extremely strong, and they are also looked up to in Qingshui City.

Today's royal family was actually a big family 700 years ago. When the world collapsed in the last day, the candle family in Zhongdu took advantage of the situation. In the competition between various forces, they won the world, established a new dynasty, and became the royal family. The Candle family is also a large family, and they are well aware of the dangers of big forces, and they are afraid that they will be replaced by other families one day, so they set restrictions everywhere.

Fortunately, the sect is set in the mountains, and it is not too greedy for power. Most of them aim to build the avenue and don't interfere much in the world. The royal family had much more lenient control over them, as long as they paid a certain amount of resources to the local government as a tribute on an annual basis.

For example, except for the clansmen, each family is not allowed to have private soldiers, and even if it is a family guard, it must not exceed 200 people. It turned out that the tens of thousands of private soldiers of various families had to be reduced, and this method weakened many private armed forces.

But the family itself has many warriors, and they are bloodline clansmen, so there is no way to reduce this. Even the royal family can't meddle in other people's family affairs, so that blood and flesh are separated, this is the bottom line. After all, there are many families in the world, and if the royal family goes too far, once they all rise up to resist, it will be difficult for the royal family to resist.

There are many people in the big family, with a population of tens of thousands, and they are divided into the main family lineage and the side branches. If it is old, under the replacement of the head of the family, the lineage of the original head of the family has become a branch again, and his concubine and side branches are more distant. This kind of blood relationship is thin, and the family is also intimate. In terms of resource quotas, there is a big difference. Like Murong Tie, even if he is a side branch of the side branch, the resource quota is small, the natural strength is low, and he is not very well treated by his descendants.

The backbone of the major families is the master of the fusion period, after all, the Jindan period is a big leap from a human to a near immortal, and very few people can break through. Even in a big family like the Murong Clan, there are only more than ten Jindan masters. The masters in the fusion period not only have high strength, but also have an advantage in numbers.

There are no spiritual ore families, each family has its own source of business. For example, the Murong family is good at alchemy, that is, they mainly grow elixirs, and then the family alchemists refine them into elixirs and sell them, and the profits are very high. But at the same time, the big family has a lot of mouths, and the expenses are huge.

The family is not monolithic, competing for power and resources, and brotherly rivalry is also common. Murong Tie told a few incidents of cannibalism within the clan, and Yang Cheng smacked his tongue, this is a living palace fighting drama.

Between families, in order to compete for business and increase resources, it is also very cruel to fight openly and secretly. If you move, the family will lose, the business will be eroded, and it will be difficult to rise again. After several generations, except for a few ethnic groups, most of the side branches gradually became the bottom people. If you want to protect your business, you need to increase the strength of your family, you need a lot of resources to train your family's children, and you need to reproduce more people. And the more people there are, the greater the consumption, and a vicious circle is formed.

But in order for the family to survive, each family has to passively maintain this cycle. In each city-state, small families rise every day, and there are also weak families that are encroached upon. The law of survival is the law of survival.
