super god ancestor

Chapter 137 Undercurrent
"If you can be promoted to a hundred households, Tiangang Sifu Yamen will distribute a spirit stone every year.

I heard that it was transformed by Zhong Tiandi's spiritual beauty, and it is an excellent cultivation resource no matter for warriors or those who have attained the Tao. "

As Li Changkong said, he laughed at himself again: "In my life, I have no chance."

Tiangang Division has hundreds of households, but it is a sought-after position, and Li Changkong's weight is far from enough.

"Ming Yuan, you should learn more from your uncle, try to take over my class in the future, take two steps up, and feel what the Lingshi looks like, to gain some confidence, and make some contributions to our Li family. "

Li Mingyuan beat his head like garlic, seeing this, Li Changkong stroked his son's head and smiled.

Lingshi?

Li Jingji was slightly taken aback when he heard this.

Before that, he had communicated with his father, and Li Chaoge had told him about his conjectures about luck and Yin division.

He remembered that his father seemed to have mentioned the term Lingshi.

"What does the spirit stone look like?"

Li Jingji asked curiously.

Li Changkong was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "That item is precious and rare, and hardly in circulation. Even if the senior management of Tiangang Division receives a monthly order, it will be used up quickly. In the market, it is not necessarily worth buying one for 3000 taels of silver. Someone sells it."

"I haven't seen it before. I heard that these spirit stones are all mined from mines, and the amount mined every year is very small."

Li Jingji let out a sigh, and continued to teach about sword intent.

In the ancestral hall, although Li Chaoge stayed around the memorial tablet, he was able to see every move of the Li family.

Of course, he also heard the conversation about Lingshi.

"Spiritual stone? There is such a thing?"

I don't know if this spirit stone is the same as the spirit stone mentioned in the previous life Xiuxian novel.

Li Chaoge rested his chin, pondering: "It seems that warriors focus on resources first. If you want to cultivate a large number of warriors and strengthen your family's strength, it is not enough to rely on the system's qualification improvement, and resources must keep up."

Soon, he turned his attention to Li Cezhi's direction again.

Li's meeting room.

Li Cezhi and Li Changqing are discussing the distribution of family resources.

"The family doesn't have a lot of money, and they can't make ends meet, so they have to reduce the clan's monthly bill.

Otherwise, if you slap a swollen face to pretend to be a fat man, the internal treasury will be exhausted. "

Li Cezhi checked the accounts carefully and said seriously.

The decline of the Li family in recent years has been worse than he imagined.

Just for the monthly expenses of the tribe, 500 taels of silver are needed every month.

It is evenly distributed to each clansman, five taels per month.

This is not a very high cost for a big family with a lot of background.

It's a pity that the Li family can't afford to pay this money.

Right now, the Li family has property everywhere, and the surplus income is only 300 taels.

Calculated in this way, the monthly deficit will cost 200 taels of cash, which is not counting the extra expenses of the Li family if they want to train their clansmen.

"If this month is cut for example, what will other families think of us?"

Li Changqing did not agree with this.

Among so many families in Longchuan Mansion, the Li family had once had a glorious day as a prominent family, and the current reduction of the clan members' monthly regulations would probably make many families laugh.

"If you don't cut it, the Li family won't be able to last for a few months."

Li Cezhi frowned. For him, practical issues were the most important.

"Oh, it's a pity that my Li family's iron ore vein located outside the county government was taken away by the Wu family.

Otherwise, the iron ore income alone would not have fallen to such a point. "

Li Changqing shook his head slightly and sighed.

"What happened to the Wu family's seizure of the mine?"

Li Cezhi heard Li Changqing mention it before, but at that time, he did not take over the position of Patriarch.

If you are not in charge of the family, you don't know the price of firewood, rice, oil and salt, so naturally you don't bother to worry about it.

Now, the family has spent too much, and he can't help thinking about it, wondering if there is a chance to take back that iron mine.

"The Wu family and my Li family are old enemies in Longchuan Mansion, and we have long had grievances.

Back then, when my Li family was not kicked out of the genealogy by Zhu Guo's family, it was a prominent family, and it also showed off its might in front of the Wu family. "

Li Changqing said slowly: "The ancestors of the Wu family also had marquises, so they can naturally be regarded as a famous family, but at that time, they were a little less powerful than my Li family."

"It's a cliché thing to say, but the iron ore vein was originally discovered by the Li family and the Wu family.

The Wu family was weak, so our Li family took 1 taels of silver and handed it over to the Wu family, so that the Wu family would withdraw from the competition. "

Although the Li family's mine vein is a small iron mine, its value naturally far exceeds the 1 taels of silver.

It's a pity that the Wu family didn't dare to tear themselves apart with the Li family back then, so they agreed.

"Over the years, my Li family has gradually declined, so he tore up the contract and seized the mine lode."

Hearing Li Changqing's words, Li Cezhi was surprised and said: "Since there is a contract, our Li family will naturally take advantage of it, even if we sue the government, we won't lose."

"It's useless to have a contract, the competition between families is based on the overall strength.

The Wu family is booming, and it is said that they have raised a large number of quacks to look after the home.

On top of the court, the Wu family has an incumbent fifth-rank censor. If we really grab it, my Li family will not be able to take advantage of it. "

Li Changqing shook his head, looked at Li Cezhi again, and had some hope in his heart: "However, fortunately, I found the third uncle's lineage."

"Patriarch Wen Yun is prosperous, and he will be able to be an official in the future.

Uncle Thorn's martial arts practice is very good, and he is also the mainstay of my Li family.

Today, his Wu family is rampant, if it takes another ten years, it may not be the case. "

With the return of the long house, Li Changqing is very optimistic about the future of the Li family. If Li Cezhi can succeed in his official career in the future, the Li family will naturally come back as a prominent family.

Ten years?
Li Cezhi frowned slightly, thinking it was still too long.

Although the contest between big families and big families, you come and go, 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi is normal.

But with the spirit of the father in the sky, protecting the clansmen and leading the family, this time will definitely be greatly shortened and the Li family will flourish again.

Although he was thinking about this, Li Cezhi didn't say it yet.

His father had just returned to the ancestral hall and hadn't shown his face in front of these clansmen, so he couldn't mention his father for the time being.

Longchuan Mansion, the residence of the Wu family.

The head of the Wu family, Wu Dao, is an old man in his fifties.

He is not tall, a little shriveled, and his hair is half white.

He is not a direct descendant of the head of the Wu family, and he can be the head of the family because he is the most promising.

In the court, he is a member of the fifth-rank censor, and he is also the strongest weight supporting the momentum of the entire Wu family.

These years, the Wu family lived happily in Longchuan Mansion.

Seeing the Li family, the old rival in the past, being expelled from the family of Zhuguo, the situation went from bad to worse.

The Wu family seized the minerals and encouraged development. It was vaguely among the prominent families in Longchuan Prefecture, and it also meant to be among the top families.

But today, Wu Dao got bad news.

"Then Li Cezhi became the head of the Li family?"

With a brush, he was copying a line of poetry, which was obviously copied by Li Cezhi at the poetry meeting.

"Yes, a few days ago, the Li family welcomed them back to Longchuan Mansion with great fanfare."

Beside Wu Dao was a man in his thirties.

His name is Wu Ming, he is Wu Dao's eldest son, and he is Wu Dao's appointed successor to the next Patriarch, so he is extremely concerned about family affairs.

"Father, what about Li Cezhi?"

Wu Ming hesitated for a moment, and finally asked.

"Wen Yun is prosperous, and he is quite famous in Shilin.

Your Majesty is short of people and respects scholars. If you are admitted to Jinshi in the future, you may be able to get a long grace in the examination of Your Majesty's palace. "

Wu Dao imitated the wine and said casually.

Just this one comment has exhausted Li Cezhi's future.

There is a hidden meaning of diving into the abyss, just waiting to soar into the sky.

"What should I do?"

Wu Ming's expression was rather ugly.

The Li family is the mortal enemy of the Wu family. If the Li family rises again because of Li Cezhi, the Wu family's minerals will be spit out, and they will be retaliated wildly.

Wu Dao was not nervous, his hand holding the pen was steady, and he carefully copied the last line of the poem before throwing away the brush in his hand.

"Why panic, the future is boundless, after all, it's just potential. Hasn't he not become a court official yet?"

"When he is done, it will be too late."

Wu Dao glanced at his own son and nodded: "Indeed, when he becomes successful, the rise of the Li family will be unstoppable."

"Let the people in the Seven Stars Altar prepare, find an opportunity, and do it."

After a long silence, Wu Dao spoke.

Wu Ming was startled, and he looked a little horrified: "Kill him? Dad, this person has already gained the name of Jie Yuan, and he is just showing his talents. He is not a grassroots person who can let the Wu family kill at will."

"If he is killed, not only the Li family, but also Xu Qingshi of the imperial party, I'm afraid it will also turn the world upside down."

If Li Cezhi was just a scholar, killing him would be fine.

Knowing Yuan Zhong, who was also known as Yuanbo, the Wu family dared to do this, and they were risking the displeasure of the world.

"I heard that Li Cezhi had a conflict with Chen An, a son of the Zhu family, at the poetry meeting?
Let the people in the Seven Stars Altar keep their hands and feet clean, as long as no evidence is left behind, others will not be able to guess where we are. "

Wu Dao said seriously.

Could it be that the Li family really dared to investigate the disciples of Zhu Guo's family?
Even if they are smart enough to guess about the Wu family, there is no proof, a lonely Li family can't help themselves and others.

Family disputes must not give the opponent a single chance.

The Li family has only one hope, and they have to die. Wu Dao is willing to take this risk compared to watching the Li family rise because of Li Cezhi.

"You stare, remember, you must not leave any evidence."

"Father, I understand."

Wu Ming nodded.

This is the early spring just after the new year in Longchuan Prefecture.

Everything is revived and green.

The Li family welcomes their ancestors back home, and all the clansmen are full of ambition to welcome a new beginning.

But in Longchuan Mansion, there are more than one pair of eyes staring at this family that has been in decline for a long time, has experienced ups and downs and wants to rise again.

Behind all the calm, there is an undercurrent surging, ready to go.

The second volume, men can do it.

This volume ends.
