The Age of Global City-States: I Can Increase a Thousand Times

Chapter 314 Beginning and Ending
Su Fan felt very strange, so he asked Yu Wenjing, "Why? I don't quite understand."

"Let me tell you this, in fact, the five major families have long been at odds with each other. If it weren't for the prosperous dynasty this time, it would be impossible to work together again."

Hearing what Yuwen Jingyi said, Su Fan was a little surprised. From what he saw, the relationship between the five patriarchs seemed to be good. "But I watched between several patriarchs"

"This is just an illusion. After the prosperous dynasty changed hands, it began to reduce the resources allocated to each family, but it happened to be more or less. There were differences between the families because of this matter."

"That's all?"

"Of course not. This is a conflict that has accumulated over the years. The former master of the prosperous dynasty reconciled with it, and the five major families were able to balance each other. Since the new master, conflicts have begun to appear frequently."

Hao Yueyue also said: "That's right, I heard from my father before that the Bai family fought a lot because of the distribution of treasures by the alliance. After a few patriarchs reconciled, it got better."

Yu Wenjing nodded, "Actually, I think that the reason why there is a gap between the five major families is that the new owner intentionally did so."

Afterwards, the three of Su Fan sat cross-legged on the grass, and through Yuwen Jingyi's narration, they understood the whole story.

It turned out that in the earliest days, the five major families belonged to separate individuals. It was because of the arrangement of the previous master that the five patriarchs were united together.

At that time, the foundation of the prosperous dynasty in Jiudao Mountain was still unstable, so there were five major families, which stabilized the situation of the alliance here, and thus gained a firm foothold.

It can be said that the alliance's ability to expand its territory in Jiudao Mountain and recruit a large number of outstanding city lords in Jiudao Mountain is inseparable from the five major families.

As the strength of the alliance gradually increased, the base gradually expanded, and as the number of city lords continued to increase, the status of the five major families in the alliance also began to rise.

Under the protection of the former alliance leader, the five major families can be said to be highly respected by everyone in the alliance, and their status can be said to be comparable to that of the deputy alliance leader.

No matter what good resources and treasures there are in the alliance, they will be given priority to the five major families. At the same time, they have also given the five major families many special rights.

This includes that they do not need to participate in wars on other continents.And in many league decisions, they can have a crucial one-vote option.

Because of the lord's protection, other powerful city lords dared not speak out.It's only in private that many people in the alliance are quite critical of the five major families.

And just when the status of the five major families reached its peak in the alliance, the old master of the alliance died due to the relapse of the old illness left over from the war.

In this way, the only son of the original lord inherited the old lord's main city and the position of the old lord's leader.

And the problem began at this time. As the five most prestigious families in the alliance, they began to regard themselves as ministers, and all decisions of the alliance had to be approved by them.

At the beginning, the new lord had just taken office, and although he was upset, he didn't show it. However, as the alliance gradually stabilized, the newly promoted city lord finally started his actions.

He began to support the top positions of his team, tried his best to promote some equally powerful city masters, and specially placed powerful city masters in important positions in the alliance.

Thus, after the emergence of another force, the two sides began to check and balance each other, but the new force, which would not be the opponent of the older generation of city lords, was frequently suppressed by the five major families.

And at this moment, the leader of the alliance made an unexpected decision. On the grounds of stabilizing the alliance, he cut down the resources of all the main elders in the alliance, but he did not cut down the resources of the five major families.

At the beginning, the five major families thought that the leader was very sensible, but something went wrong after a long time. Because of the different treatment, the major families began to criticize the five major families, and the voices against the five major families came and went one after another.

The five major families also knew that they were in the middle of public criticism, so they proposed the same treatment as other city lords and reduced resource treatment, but the alliance has clear regulations on what kind of position enjoys what kind of resources.

Under unavoidable circumstances, the five major families could only choose to step down as elders.Regarding the consequences of this, Su Fan believed that it was the result of the five major families' own fault.

However, the operation after the alliance began to clearly target the five major families.In addition to reducing the supply of resources, the alliance also proposed that all city owners who have been in the alliance for more than a few years should pay more resources.

In this way, the supply of resources becomes less.The payment has increased.Of course, the amount of resources paid is far less than the supply, but this also makes the five major families feel very uncomfortable.

Apart from them in the alliance, the members of the leader's family belonged to the veterans. Although the conditions for paying tribute have been raised, isn't this the same as putting eggs from the left basket to the right basket?
Although the five major families could feel the alliance's targeting, they could only swallow their anger. After all, the wave of protests against them by the people in the previous alliance had not completely dissipated.

Afterwards, the alliance changed many new policies, and the treatment enjoyed by the five major families also changed with the implementation of the new policies.

The alliance began to assign tasks to the five major families, and each one was trickier than the other.At first, the five major families obeyed submissively, and after discussing together, they simply did not respect the mission of the alliance.

Under the hard steel, the alliance can only announce the news to everyone, and cut all the positions of the five major families in the alliance on the grounds that the five major families cannot complete the task.

As a result, the five major families are no different from ordinary alliance members in the prosperous dynasty.

Since then, the five major families have been frustrated. Thinking of their hard work, they have pacified Jiudao Mountain for the alliance, resisted the beast tide, and recruited a large number of newly promoted city lords into the alliance.

But in the end, it ended up like this.Therefore, the five major families were unhappy, and after discussing business together, they decided to quickly seize the headquarters of the prosperous dynasty in the name of the incompetence of the newly promoted city lord.

At this point, Su Fanyan asked Yuwen Jingyi, if this is the case, why didn't the five major families choose to join other alliances, why bother with this, with their current strength, they can definitely get better treatment in other places.
