Cultivation in the Family: Everyone is a villain

The next day, the city center, the main hall of the Hou Mansion

Hou Yuxiao sat alone at the top, followed by four people from Hou Yucheng, Su Li, Xiong Nutao, and Zhang Kong, three leaders from the Upper Houmen, and at the end were twelve people from the Lower Houmen led by Hou Yinghou Cun.

A stall.

"The leaders of the five tribes of Shanghou Clan, Hou Fei and Gao Hu, are not here, so they are absent. Except for these two people, all the fifteen people who hold positions in the clan have arrived."

Hou Yuduan counted the number of people, turned his head and bowed to Hou Yuxiao who was standing above him, and everyone suddenly looked solemn.

Hou Yuxiao nodded and looked at the people below. Except for Gang Laosi, the rest of the people had almost no change in their cultivation. Most of the people who were in the twelfth grade of the Hou family were still at the seventh level.

It is definitely impossible to make a big change in less than twenty days. Hou Yujie's ability to break through the Gang Qi realm is already an unexpected surprise. It would be too greedy to expect anything else.

"Since Zhaoyang will be the city of my Hou family from now on, all the families in the city will start to get involved in the affairs of the city. Lao Wu, you are in charge of the security of the city recently. Please tell me about the situation!"

Hou Yuduan took a step forward and said: "The population of Zhaoyang City is 320,000, and there are four streets plus a large residential area. If warriors govern it, only 500 people are needed. At present, all the warriors of the third level and above in the clan have entered the Houmen.

I organized the remaining 500-odd people into a city guard, and judging from the effect of these more than ten days, it's pretty good."

Hou Yuxiao's eyes lit up slightly, and the words "Xingnan Prefecture Army" suddenly appeared in his mind, why everyone must abide by the rules of the county, and why did Fan Longhe, the county magistrate, dare to go against the number one master Ding Dian.

The role played by the 30,000 Xingnan Prefecture Army cannot be underestimated.

When warriors have reached a high level, they can open mountains and cut rivers, split seas and sink land, the human sea tactic is indeed useless, but it also depends on what kind of human sea it is. For example, Xingnan Fujun is a warrior who is at least the fifth level.

An army of more than ten thousand people is enough to threaten the powerful masters.

From now on, there will be no county magistrate in Zhaoyang. All order in the city will be maintained by the Hou family. The city guard army set up by Hou Yuduan is very necessary!

The total number of Hou family warriors is currently 969, and there are more than 500 warriors below the third level. They are not very strong, but they are more than enough to handle more than 300,000 mortals.

Hou Yuxiao pondered for a moment, looked at Hou Yuduan and praised: "Lao Wu did a good job, but the name of the City Guards needs to be changed. From now on, this group of people will not only maintain order in the city, but also guard Zhaoyang and resist all external enemies.

It's called Zhaoyang Iron Guard.

Of course, the regulations are insurmountable and can only be maintained at a maximum of ten thousand people, and all warriors below the third level in the clan are included in it."

The number of disciples of third-rate forces can only be less than ten thousand people at most. The phrase "overreach" mentioned by Hou Yuxiao is actually nonsense. At present, the total number of warriors in Zhaoyang County is just over a thousand. Even if you want to go beyond the regulations, there is no way.

Chance.

The four words "Zhaoyang Iron Guard" obviously made everyone look a little excited.

"Brother, who is the leader?"

Before Hou Yuduan could speak, Hou Yucheng spoke impatiently. Seeing the eager look on his face, Hou Yuxiao pondered for a moment before nodding.

"You will be the commander of the Zhaoyang Iron Guard. If there is any big problem in the city, I will take it upon you."

"Don't worry, brother, whoever dares to mess around will be the first to be spared by my sword!"

"There is no rule without rules. The future rules of Zhaoyang City will directly follow those of the county and city. As long as both parties agree, private fights are allowed in the city. Of course, all property destroyed by the private fight will be fully compensated by the Zhaoyang Iron Guards. This is accomplished.

I followed you to the county town last time, you should know what to do, right?"

Hou Yucheng nodded and said excitedly: "I understand, brother!"

This rule of Tongling County does play a very important role in maintaining order in the county, but it must also be noted that the one who actually benefits the most from it is the Xingnan Prefecture Army.

Dou, yes, as long as you can afford the money, and if you have a normal relationship, then the lion will open your mouth. If you have a good relationship, you can get some points from your mouth. As for those with a good relationship, just like Hou Yucheng did in the Holy Land that day.

When he killed Yu Chendong in his heart, Gui Yutang also joined forces with him to humiliate the people of Qijue Sect.

When this rule was applied to Zhaoyang City, it was naturally Hou Yucheng. The commander of the Zhaoyang Iron Guard had the greatest benefits, so he looked so excited.

Hou Yuxiao then asked: "Have all the warriors above the third level in the clan entered the Hou clan?"

Xiong Nutao stepped forward and bowed respectfully, saying: "The thirty men and horses of my Xin tribe have gathered."

Zhang Kong also took a step forward and said: "The subordinates Renbu are also ready."

Shanghoumen currently has a total of five divisions, namely Kui, Si, Geng, Xin, and Ren. The five divisions are fully staffed, which is 155 people.

Hou Cun and Hou Ying looked at each other, nodded and took the lead to bow before him, cupping their hands and saying: "Come down to the twelve stalls of Houmen, Zi Shu and Chen Long are already full of hundreds of people, and there are ten stalls left.

Because there are not enough warriors above the third level in the clan, there are still only six people."

The twelve stalls of Xiahoumen are all open, and only Hou Cun's Zishu stall and Hou Cun's Chenlong stall are fully staffed. Plus the other ten stalls with 60 people, the total number is 262.

The total number of people from the upper and lower Hou clans is 417. Hou Yuxiao pondered for a moment and came up with this number, with a hint of joy on his face. When he went out, the number of third-level and above warriors in the clan was 404. In less than twenty days, it can increase by 13

, already very good!

Hou Yuxiao signaled Hou Yuling next to him with his eyes, and Hou Yuling immediately walked to the side, took out a small box, and placed it in front of everyone.

Everyone looked at the box with curious expressions. Only Su Li, who followed Hou Yuxiao to the county town this time, had a hint of excitement on his face the first moment he saw the box.

Snap...

Hou Yuxiao didn't waste any time. He stepped forward and opened the box gently. A strong and fragrant fragrance of elixir instantly emanated from it and penetrated everyone's noses. Everyone couldn't help but take a step forward and saw that the box was full of food.

After taking the emerald green elixir the size of a thumb cap, his expression suddenly became excited.

"This is... a body-opening pill?"

"So many, there must be hundreds of them!"

"I took it when I was in the Qinglang Gang. This elixir is only available in the county. The lowest price is one hundred taels per pill. How much does it cost for so much..."

…………

There were fifteen people present, Zhang Kong and Xiong Nutao, who used to be high-level officials of the Qinglang Gang. They had seen the Kaishen Pills before, but even they had never seen so many Kaishen Pills at one time.

For a moment, everyone's breathing became much heavier...

Hou Yuxiao looked at the expressions on everyone's faces and smiled slightly in his heart. This scene was also what he expected.

According to the monthly salary system he originally prescribed, among the fifteen people, all with cultivation levels between the seventh and eighth levels, their monthly salary is only one hundred taels. Of course, the Hou family is now the lord of Zhaoyang, and they, the senior members of the Hou family,

I receive gifts on weekdays, and there are quite a few in a month.

But including these, they only earn around 200 taels per month at most.

If they want to make more money, they have to take on private jobs themselves. But is private work so easy to take on? Earning more is dangerous, and making less is looked down upon. Therefore, as a low-level warrior, it is also difficult for them.

They can afford to take elixirs like Kaishen Dan, but if they want to use it for a long time, it is undoubtedly a dream.

And he originally set a rule for warriors of the Hou family that warriors above the third level could receive one body-opening pill every month...

"Take out 417 coins and distribute them according to the number of people in each department. You will each take them back and give them to the people below. From now on, they will be distributed together with your monthly salary on the fifth day of every month."

When everyone heard these words, their expressions were moved. After a moment of silence, they all bowed respectfully to Hou Yuxiao and said excitedly: "This subordinate will be named Hou from now on. I will die after my liver and brain are bruised!"

A relationship bound by interests may not necessarily be strong, but if a relationship has no interests, it will definitely not be strong.

Seeing everyone's moved expressions at this moment, Hou Yuxiao believed that at least at this moment, their feelings for Hou were true.

"The Hou family is divided into upper and lower levels, and the number of people with different cultivation levels is different. The reason why I arranged it like this at the beginning was because I had a plan in mind.

From now on, all warriors in the Hou clan will be responsible for my life.

Shanghoumen was under the control of Laosi, who was responsible for attacking among the clansmen, detecting lawlessness in Zhaoyang, and arresting fugitives from abroad.

The Xiahou Clan is commanded by Sanniang, who specializes in collecting intelligence on various forces within and outside Zhaoyang, as well as those who have a relationship with my Hou family, whether they are enemies or friends, and we must find out their situations."

Hou Yujie's cold eyes flashed slightly and he nodded heavily. He likes to kill, and the Shanghou clan is full of the most elite warriors in the clan. Hou Yuxiao's arrangement is perfect for him.

When Hou Yuling heard about her arrangement, she quickly reacted and went down to the 12th stall of Houmen to take on the role of family mediator. She had done these things in the county before. Hou Yuxiao's arrangement was also very reasonable.

After the order was issued, Su Li, Zhang Kong, and Xiong Nutao immediately bowed to Hou Yujie, cupped their fists and said, "I pay my respects to Fourth Master!"

The 12th stall head of Xiahoumen, headed by Hou Yinghou Cun, also learned to bow to Hou Yuling and said respectfully: "I pay my respects to the third lady!"

Hou Yuxiao distributed the Opening Pills according to the number of people in each department. Except for Hou Fei and Gao Hu who were in the county, more than 300 pills were distributed in total. Everyone happily received the Opening Pills and respectfully bid farewell to Hou Yuxiao.

After everyone left, there were only five brothers and sisters left in the hall, which seemed much empty. Looking at Hou Yucheng and the four of them, Hou Yuxiao took out a box from under the chair behind him, and took out a box from it in front of the four people.

There was one pamphlet after another, and the four of them suddenly stepped forward to read it curiously.

Swift Rain Sword Technique, Quick Sword Technique, Rainbow Shadow Whip Technique, Double Absolute Hands, Wolf Venom Palm, Thirteen Black Dragon Styles, Futu Saber Technique, Falling Rain Sword Technique...

The first three books are about the low-ranking martial arts practiced by Hou Yujie, Hou Yucheng, and Hou Yuling. The following three books, except for the Thirteen Styles of the Black Dragon, are all about the third-rate martial arts acquired by the family during this period. There are five books in total.

They had all seen these martial arts, and they looked at Hou Yuxiao with some confusion. Just as they were about to ask questions, Hou Yuxiao suddenly took out four more booklets from the box and placed them next to the first three and the Black Thirteen Styles.

.

"You should look through it first, and then talk after reading it!"

Hou Yuxiao smiled mysteriously, walked to the door first, and closed the door gently. The four people behind him looked even more curious when they saw this. Each of them picked up a book and started reading.

Hou Yucheng was looking through the book corresponding to Kuai Dao Jue. After opening it, he read less than ten breaths. His pupils suddenly shrank, his breathing gradually became heavier, and his face became more and more excited.

Hou Yujie and Hou Yuling were reading the two books corresponding to Swift Rain Sword Technique and Rainbow Shadow Whip Technique. They only read for a while, and their expressions were exactly the same as Hou Yucheng's.

Hou Yuduan was the only one who didn't like martial arts. He was reading the book corresponding to the Thirteen Black Dragon Styles of ancestral martial arts. After opening it, he saw the four words "Qinglong Stick Technique" written on the first page, and he immediately

His face changed.

He continued to flip through a few more pages, and the more he read, the more shocked the expression on his face became.

Seeing the faces of the second brother, the fourth brother and the third sister again, and thinking of Hou Yuxiao's corresponding movements of martial arts, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he looked up at Hou Yuxiao with shock in his eyes.

"Improve your martial arts, brother, your martial arts talent is incredible!"
