Cultivation in the Family: Everyone is a villain

"The Zhaoyang Iron Guard was renamed as the Zhaoyang Army. The Zhaoyang Army is tentatively scheduled to have a full regiment of 50,000 people, and the cultivation level must be above the fifth level. The Zhaoyang Army's regulations follow the rules of the imperial army of the Rakshasa Holy Cult, with a team of one hundred people. , one thousand people per standard, ten thousand people per battalion, set up a captain and a standard commander to take charge of three positions, and then set up a commander to take charge of the entire army!"

Upon hearing that Hou Yuxiao had formed an army, Hou Yucheng immediately lost his temper and took a step forward. He looked at him eagerly and almost said that he wanted to become the leader of the army.

"The Zhaoyang Army has reached its full strength of 50,000 men. The clan doesn't have that many soldiers now. Even if you want to be the capital commander, you don't have the conditions!"

Hou Yucheng looked stunned, and then he remembered that the clan that Lao Wu mentioned just now had a cultivation level above the fifth level, and the total number was less than 20,000. The Qinglong Society, Hou Men, and other family organizations of the Escort Bureau had more. Taking part of it, the number of people who can actually be incorporated into the Zhaoyang Army is estimated to be no more than 15,000 at most, which is still a long way from 50,000.

"Before the Zhaoyang army is fully established, Hou Yucheng will be the commander and command the entire army. The rest of the team will be regular and the captain position will be decided by you in the army."

"Thank you, brother, for accepting the order!"

"Second brother, before the 50,000-man army is full, if you can break through to become a grandmaster, you will be the one to do it. If you can't break through, and there is even someone in the clan who breaks through faster than you, then I have to consider others. In one word, If you want to be the commander-in-chief, you have to show some real skills."

Hou Yucheng's expression became serious. He noticed that there were many eyes behind him, and his eyes became more solemn. He nodded heavily towards Hou Yuxiao and said: "Don't worry, brother, I will practice diligently and strive for the fastest breakthrough!"

Although he has a violent personality, he is not stupid. Since the Zhaoyang Army is the Hou family's private army, it is basically impossible for the position of commander-in-chief to fall into the hands of others. The eldest brother said this because he was just taking care of other people's thoughts. He knew it very well. of.

However, he was still confident that he had obtained this capital position with his true ability. His cultivation talent may be a little inferior to that of his eldest brother and fifth brother, but compared with the outside world, even those descendants from the Holy Land came. He, Hou Yucheng, was not embarrassed at all.

Zhaoyang military commander, who else but me!

Seeing the change in Hou Yucheng's expression, Hou Yuxiao knew that the second brother understood what he meant and continued to talk about the appointment below.

"The newly established Xuanting Division has a commander in charge of Wanyang and Tongling counties. Bai Yunfan serves as the commander. The Xuanting Division detects lawlessness and punishes criminals. It has a heavy responsibility. If you want to become a Xuanting Guard, you must have at least the tenth level of cultivation. .

The commander is located in the county town and has a large population under his jurisdiction. He can be equipped with hundreds of Xuanting guards. In addition, the nine subordinate counties must also set up stations. Each county has at least twenty Xuanting guards in charge. The rest of the personnel can be recruited locally at a reasonable cost. It’s all borne by the family!”

The commander of the Xuanting Division is responsible for the security of a county and has more than a hundred tenth-level warriors under his command. When Bai Yunfan heard this arrangement, he immediately showed a satisfied look.

"In addition to the Xuanting Division, the family has established a new organization called the Secret Medicine Division, which specializes in training pharmacists for the family, refining elixirs, and selling elixirs to other parties!"

As soon as they heard the name Secret Medicine Division, everyone turned their attention to Li Sanyun, the original master of Medicine Chen Sect. Li Sanyun was the only third-rate pharmacist in Tongling. Hou Yuxiao's arrangement was obviously tailor-made for him.

"The commander and deputy commander of the Secret Medicine Department are Li Sanyun and his son!"

Li Sanyun was not surprised by his arrangement. Although he had the cultivation level of Dan Bao, he was more praised for his status as a third-rate pharmacist. Hou Yuxiao would definitely let him take on this responsibility in the clan, so that

What he didn't expect was that the chief and deputy commanders of the Secret Medicine Department were directly the father and son.

The Liu Jianghong brothers, the Bai family and his son, and the Nie Xinchuan brothers were all placed in different systems. Only the father and son were not separated.

Li Sanyun raised his head and met Hou Yuxiao's trusting eyes. He was suddenly moved. He took his son Li Shiji with him and bowed to Hou Yuxiao. He said in a respectful tone: "Thank you, Master!"

After Hou Yuxiao nodded to him, he continued: "Establish the Treasury Department again, and Lao Wu will be the commander. From now on, all consumption expenses and business profits in the clan, regardless of elixirs, martial arts, gold and silver, Qinglonghui,

The Zhaoyang Escort Agency is all under the control of the Treasurer!"

Hearing the responsibilities of "Fu Kusi", everyone's eyes suddenly lit up. With the Hou family's current sphere of influence and the industrial businesses involved, it can be predicted that the wealth controlled by Fu Kusi is absolutely unprecedented.

Not even talking about the future, the money in the five boxes in front of me is far beyond ordinary people's imagination. Even the leader of a third-rate power like Li Sanyun has never seen so much money in his life.

This is such a fat mess!

Everyone looked at Hou Yuduan with a hint of envy in their eyes, but they also knew in their hearts that no matter in terms of ability or identity, the commander of the Treasury Department could only be Hou Yuduan, and there was no other person.

"Our Hou family currently occupies two counties and nine counties, a total of eleven cities. When appointing the city lord, we must not only consider martial arts cultivation, but also pay attention to business and strategic capabilities. In the future, we will also need specialized government talents. Finally, we will establish the Qiancheng Division. From now on

Anyone who wants to serve as a city lord must first enter the Thousand City Division and be assessed and then appointed by the Thousand City Division before he can serve as the lord of a city.

For the time being, Yu Duan will serve as the commander of this Thousand City Division. If there is a suitable candidate in the future, we will select him again!"

Hearing the name Qian Chengsi, everyone had an inexplicable look on their faces. Looking at Hou Yuxiao, they were slightly shocked.

It's only eleven cities, and it's already called Qianchengsi. The head of the family is very ambitious...

"By the way, Lao Wu, tell everyone what you think!"

Hou Yuxiao arranged many positions in succession and could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Everyone looked at Hou Yuduan curiously after hearing this, wanting to know what he thought.

"The Xuanting, Secret Medicine, Treasury, and Qiancheng Four Divisions that my eldest brother just arranged, plus the Qinglong Society, Zhaoyang Escort Bureau, Zhaoyang Army, and the two divisions of the Hou family, our Hou family now has a total of nine institutions under our jurisdiction.

It basically covers all the things that can be managed in the clan at present. Although it is a bit bloated, it has to be like this in order to take into account the overall situation."

Hou Yuduan stepped forward slightly, and after saying these words, he glanced around the crowd, focusing on the four Li Sanyuns and the three Gao brothers. He pondered for a moment before continuing to speak.

"The Hou family originated from Zhaoyang. Although we are a clan of five people, but since its development, the number of warriors in the clan has reached 30,000. Counting ordinary people, the number has almost exceeded 100,000. Especially the clan leader Li, Liu Da, Bai

The head of the family, Gang Leader Nie, and the three brothers Gao Changlong, Gao Changhu, and Gao Changbao, as well as many brothers from the government army, have merged into the family. Now the Hou family belongs not only to the five of us, but also to everyone. Therefore, from now on, the family

It’s no longer up to the eldest brother to have the final say, everyone should have a say!”

………………

Hearing Hou Yuduan's words, everyone looked shocked and looked up at him violently.

What does this mean cannot be decided by Hou Yuxiao alone...

Even the fourth eldest Hou Yujie and the second eldest Hou Yucheng looked at Hou Yuduan in disbelief, thinking that he had gone crazy.

"You don't have to mind, what Yu Duan said is right, keep talking!"

When they first heard Hou Yuxiao's voice, everyone turned to look at him and found that there was no unpleasant look on his face. They immediately felt at ease and continued to listen to Hou Yuduan's words.

"The leaders of the nine major organizations, collectively referred to as the Nine Commanders, should be considered the highest position in the clan at present, so they are also considered to be the top leaders of the clan. Of course, they refer to the nine people under the eldest brother.

I propose to establish a family cabinet starting from today. There are nine seats in the cabinet. The head of the family, who is the eldest brother, is the most respected. Any major family affairs involving the family require votes from the cabinet to draft decisions. Nine people have one vote. The eldest brother only has two votes. It is necessary

A decision can only be made if more than half of the votes are passed. I wonder what you guys think of this proposal?"

"May I ask Fifth Young Master, what are important clan affairs and how should they be distinguished?" When everyone had different expressions, Li Sanyun was the first to ask his doubts.

"Anything among the nine tribes of the Hou family that requires the deployment of three or more troops is a major clan affair. Only the head of the family has the secondary authority to mobilize more than six tribes. You commanders, in addition to obeying the orders of the head of the family, as long as you can bear the consequences

, can mobilize the power in their hands at will, and no one can interfere except the head of the family. Of course, if it causes bad consequences, or even adverse consequences to the family, the responsibility will be borne by you!"

Hou Yuduan had obviously anticipated this question and answered him directly.

When everyone heard this answer, their eyes suddenly started to flash...

Qinglonghui commander Gao Cheng,

Liu Jianghong, the commander of Zhaoyang Escort Bureau,

Zhaoyang Army Commander Hou Yucheng,

Hou Yujie, the commander of Shanghoumen,

The commander of Xiahoumen, Hou Yuling,

Xuanting Division Commander Bai Yunfan,

Commander Li Sanyun of the Secret Medicine Department,

The commander of Qiancheng Division and Treasury Division, Hou Yuduan,

Everyone thought about the nine commanders that Hou Yuduan just mentioned in their minds, and then they all looked up at Hou Yuxiao, with some inexplicable expressions on their faces.

This rule seems useless at first glance. As the head of the family, Hou Yuxiao only has two votes per person, but the four of Hou Yujie, Hou Yuling, Hou Yucheng, and Hou Yuduan have five votes in total. If Gao Cheng is also included, then the Hou family's side will have five votes.

It still accounted for a full eight votes, and it was basically still a situation where Hou Yuxiao had the final say.

But the crux of the matter is that this rule does allocate part of the power of the head of the family, Hou Yuxiao, and gives the commanders of the nine departments great authority, and the positions are not static. The only new member of the Hou family now is Li Sanyun.

But if one day in the future, more and more people merge into the Hou family, and the situation changes, then this rule will be enough to limit Hou Yuxiao's rights...

Hou Yuxiao, will you agree to this proposal?

"Lao Wu!"

Hou Yucheng glared at Hou Yuduan, with a hint of sullenness in his voice. The fourth child next to him, Hou Yujie, had the same look on his face. It was obvious that they all had a lot of opinions about Hou Yuduan at this moment.

Although Hou Yuxiao had been deliberately trying to discredit Gao Cheng, Gao Hu, Hou Fei, Hou Ying and Hou Cun from a long time ago, they were not actually the core members of the Hou clan.

After the four third-rate forces merged into the Hou family, Hou Yuxiao paid even more attention to what other people thought. Apparently, he was deliberately trying to minimize the reality that the five brothers and sisters were the masters of the Hou family.

The two of them saw these things in their eyes and knew in their hearts that the eldest brother was trying to enhance the cohesion of the family, so the two of them tried their best to cooperate with Hou Yuxiao no matter what the occasion.

But no matter what they say, the two of them have never forgotten that the real masters of the Hou family can only be their five brothers and sisters. Hou Yuxiao's deliberate intention is for the development of the family, which is why they are willing to cooperate.

But what Hou Yuduan said now is undoubtedly to break this situation, and to break it in a practical sense. The nine commanders all have the right to mobilize each department, and they also have the power to vote for the cabinet. To put it harshly, one day they

If something unexpected happened, or he lost his position as commander, wouldn't the cabinet have the right to deny Hou Yuxiao?

By then, will this family still have the surname Hou?

The two of them did not continue to speak, but their attitudes were already expressed by the angry glares.

The rest of the people saw the expressions on the two men's faces and did not speak. They just remained silent.

Li Sanyun and the other two were a little uneasy at the moment. They had not been part of the Hou family for a long time, and their ideas were far from so radical. Although they were slightly moved when Hou Yuduan proposed it, they were mostly nervous.

"What Lao Wu said makes sense. The Hou family has developed so far. It is indeed not my clan, nor the clan of the five of us. Now there are more than 30,000 clan members. If we still use our surnames to distinguish you and me, it will not be conducive to family unity; if we use our surnames to distinguish you and me,

One person's will will inevitably affect the development of the family. I personally agree with Lao Wu's proposal. What do you think?"

Hou Yuxiao's words with a smile on his face made everyone look stunned. Everyone stared at him, as if trying to find some expression on his face. But to their disappointment, Hou Yuxiao was always confused.

He just smiled indifferently without showing any subtle expression.

It's not a lie, he really thinks so...

Li Sanyun and the four of them looked at each other. Although they didn't say a word, a warm current surged out of their hearts at the same time.

"It just so happens that I will try this cabinet voting system for the first time today to see how it works. You can vote now, whether you agree or disagree. Just say it, no matter what the result is, we will accept it together!"

After Hou Yuxiao finished speaking with a calm expression, he spoke first: "I agree!"

"I object!"

"I object too!"

Hou Yucheng and Hou Yujie objected directly without any thought.

"I agree."

"I agree too."

"Agree!"

"Agree."

Li Sanyun and the other four thought for a long time, then nodded and agreed one after another. After all, this was something that was beneficial to them, and they definitely agreed.

Hou Yuxiao counts two votes per person, that is, four votes in favor and four votes against. It seems to be a deadlock with the same votes, but Hou Yuduan has not voted yet. He now holds two positions, but like Hou Yuxiao, he has two voting rights.

"I agree too!"

Without any surprise, Hou Yuduan certainly agreed. After all, the proposal itself came from his mouth.

"snort!"

"Lao Wu, you..."

Just when he mentioned it, Hou Yucheng immediately snorted, and Hou Yujie turned away angrily, no longer looking at him, obviously very angry in his heart.

"Okay, now that the results are out, we must abide by the implementation. After the implementation, we will discuss the pros and cons. This is the first clan rule I have set. From now on, all major affairs in the clan must be decided by cabinet vote. If someone is absent, then

Judging from the number of people present, the decision must not be made by one person, not even me."

After Hou Yuxiao finished speaking, seeing that there was no sound from the crowd, he lowered his eyes slightly. After deliberately releasing a trace of his true energy, he increased his tone and asked in a rather low voice.

"Do you understand everything?"

"I'll obey!"

Everyone bowed and bowed, and answered solemnly in unison.

When Hou Yucheng and Hou Yujie saw Hou Yuxiao's face become so serious, they reluctantly clasped their fists towards Hou Yuxiao and said in unison: "Yes, big brother!"

The fifth day of September in the year 1322 of the New Yu Calendar

The nine ministries of the Hou family were initially decided, and the cabinet voting system was formally established...
