Chapter Ninety-Six: The New Look of Iron Mountain City

Winter in the south is characterized by cold drizzle rather than heavy snowfall.

The heavy snowfall in Jingnan six years ago, and the food shortage caused by that heavy snowfall, have gradually disappeared from everyone's memory with the passage of time.

But the Li family, who suddenly rose from this disaster, is often talked about in the Jingnan area.

The reason why everyone likes to talk about this Li family is that on the one hand, the male owner Li Zhaochang started from scratch, and the little dart master who came out of a remote village became the biggest ticket number owner in Jingnan today, and this qiē only took six years. On the other hand, their family has produced a monk wizard, that is, Li Zhaochang's eldest son Li Zisheng.

This kid is really amazing, his deeds in Iron Mountain City are still talked about in Jingnan, and he did a lot of great things in his early tens, beheading Chilu, punishing congenitals, running newspapers, and making firearms...... There are countless of them, and even the rise of the Li family's new Yishuntang has his credit. It has long been rumored that he is an ancient god, and he should be the reincarnation of the Li family's ancestral god Chiyou.

This is still ordinary people don't know that in the great invasion of the demon gods, Li Zisheng wiped out the Brahmin Divine Army with Shui Yao Xingcha. If this matter is true, then the legend of the reincarnation of the god of war is no longer a legend, but a proper fact.

The appearance of this third prince of Li even changed the industrial structure of Tieshan City and Jingnan. Tieshan City has become the largest firearms manufacturing place in Central Continent, and the Changshan Military Workshop jointly established by the Li family, the Hu family and the Tieshan Iron family has also become a behemoth with an annual output value of more than 100,000 square yuanshi, and the profits of the military industry have always been very high.

Of course, such a big hen with golden eggs will naturally be coveted. Therefore, the equity distribution of this military workshop is now much more complicated than before. The Tiejia Sect, the Tianqimen, the Tiantongmen, the Nanli Sect and the Qingyang Sect all have shares in them, and the shares of the original three families are much thinner.

But even so, the Li family can earn thousands of square yuan stones from the military industry every year. This Yuan Shi really wants to say that it is Li Zisheng's private income. However, Li Sangongzi didn't have time to take care of it, so he handed it over to his father and younger brother Li Ziren to take care of.

The southern part of Jingnan has become a paradise for adventurers. The Great Invasion of the Demon Gods a few years ago and the fall of the Red Star later completely changed the face of the part of southern Xinjiang bordering Jingzhou.

Due to the fact that a large number of demon beasts died in Jingzhou, and the rainforest of southern Xinjiang south of Jingnan was razed to the ground by Red Star, southern Xinjiang, which was originally regarded as a dangerous place by humans, became less dangerous overnight.

Although Southern Xinjiang is still a Jedi for cultivators, and things that connect with immortal arts, such as their own true qi, magic weapons, talismans, and so on, will lose their effectiveness here, but now that humans have weapons like guns, they can be regarded as mortals. As long as you are familiar with firearms, you can have a few trusted companions who can also go to southern Xinjiang.

If you're lucky. A mortal can make the whole family live comfortably for several years after a walk around southern Xinjiang, so that those brave and greedy among mortals, mainly desperate "adventurers", will go to southern Xinjiang to try their luck.

But this luck is not so easy to try. The rainforest is already recovering quickly. After a few rains, the deserted wasteland became a lively forest, but the plants in it were not as tall as they were. There are no more monsters, but there are still all kinds of poisonous insects.

Even with firearms, this southern Xinjiang is still a dangerous place for mankind.

However, the "dangerous land" can't stand the fact that there are special products that can be sold for a large price, as long as they can earn yuanshi, there are naturally people who make a dangerous living. You know, for mortals. Except for southern Xinjiang, all parts of Central Continent have no chance to fight for their lives.

More and more mortals are adventuring here. Then there are more and more merchants who come to buy special products and sell supplies, and they make the southern part of Jingnan lively. A place like Wangjiang Town has become a bustling town.

In any case, the southern frontier forcibly opened by Li Zisheng provided a large number of mortals with an opportunity to improve their lives.

Now the Li family is not bad for Yuanshi, and after Li Zhaochang was born, he repeatedly expanded the new Yishun Hall. He came out of Yuanshi and bought all the surrounding houses, and the Yishun Hall, which originally had only one independent courtyard, is now almost ten times the size of the entire new Yishun Hall when Li Zisheng first arrived in Tieshan City. Of course, at the same time, of course, there are more shopkeepers, and most of these employees are still from the Li nationality in Lishan Village. With the establishment of each branch, Xinyi Shuntang's thirst for talents has become more and more intense, so more and more Li people have entered this system. It can be said that this new Yi Shun Tang is really surnamed Li from top to bottom, and this is a typical family business.

Although the attribute of family business does not sound high-end and high-grade, under the social form of Zhongzhou, most of the "enterprises" still adopt the management model of family system.

In fact, the family business is not without merit, there is a delusion that if it does not become a joint-stock enterprise or introduce professional managers, the family business will become uncompetitive because of internal personnel and nepotism, and even fall apart because of internal moths.

For example, the coat of arms of the famous Rothschild family is five arrows tied together, symbolizing the unity of the five brothers of Rothschild's father. Whether it is ancient society or modern society, if relatives can't believe it, then outsiders must believe it.

Chixian Zhongzhou was not a patriarchal society like the ancient Celestial Empire, and there was no such thing as a monarch and a minister, a father and a son. However, since there is no unified administrative body, the family or sect takes on this intelligence.

Therefore, the suzerains and patriarchs of the immortal families in Central Continent have great power, and they can be said to be the real "earth emperors". It is precisely because of this that many sects and families basically have a system of joint elders, and the decision-making is not decided by one person, but by a collective decision, which is a fairly simple and primitive democratic system.

The larger the clan, the more complex its decision-making system becomes, because the larger the number of people, the more interest groups within the clan, which requires coordination among all parties.

Of course, according to the special circumstances of each family, this dual decision-making system of suzerains and elders is either the east wind overpowering the west wind or the west wind overpowering the east wind. Sometimes the sect master is too strong and becomes a hall of words, and sometimes the elders will completely empty the sect master.

In the past few years, Li Luyang, the patriarch of the Li family, has seen that the new Yishuntang is becoming more and more prosperous, and Li Zhaochang, as the proprietor of the Xinyishuntang, has more and more power in the Li clan, so he simply abdicated and made way for Xian, held a democratic and united clan meeting, and handed over the position of patriarch to Li Zhaochang, and he retreated to the second line and raised his old age.

In fact, it's really not good for him to be old. You must know that in Middle-earth, where there is no government, the position of the patriarch is very bad, it can be said to be the brain of judicial administration, even if there is an institution like the Council of Elders, but small things can be decided in a word, and even internal members can be punished.

If Li Luyang refuses to accept the old man and has always held the position of the patriarch, but all the Li people have entered the Xinyi Shuntang and become Li Zhaochang's employees, if there is a conflict between the two parties, how can the clansmen deal with themselves.

But now the Li family does not live in this huge mansion, but buys another mansion in the west of Tieshan City as the residence of their family, after all, Xicheng is the place where the rich and noble live.

Although Li Zhaochang's family is different from the past, they still retain their original living habits. The husband and wife got up early and had breakfast together in the restaurant. They were eating and chatting about trivial matters when they heard someone shouting outside, "Daddy, mother, the child is back." ”

The person who came was naturally their second son Li Ziren.

It turned out that today was November 20th, which coincided with the holiday of Tieshan College, and Li Ziren returned home early in the morning, and he walked into the restaurant with a new copy of the "Pioneer Daily" in his hand. When he saw his parents, he forgot to say hello, but said excitedly: "Daddy, mother, eldest brother has done a great thing again!" (to be continued......)

ps: I was on a business trip yesterday and just came back today, and there are a lot of things so there are fewer updates. Please forgive me.

I'll make it up tomorrow.
