Chapter 96 The new look of Tieshan City

In the winter in the south, there are mostly cloudy and dense drizzles, rather than heavy snow.

The heavy snow in Jingnan six years ago and the food shortage caused by the heavy snow have gradually disappeared from everyone's memories as time goes by.

However, the Li family, which suddenly rose from this disaster, is often mentioned in the Jingnan area.

The reason why everyone likes to talk about the Li family is that the male owner Li Zhaochang started from scratch and came out of a remote village to become the leading home owner of the Piaohao in Jingnan. It only took six years for all this to be done. On the other hand, their family has produced a Taoist genius, Li Zhaochang's eldest son Li Zisheng.

This child is indeed amazing. His deeds in Tieshan City are still talked about in Jingnan. He did many big things in his early 10 years old, killing Chiba, killing the innate, running newspapers, and making guns... countless, and even the rise of the Li family's Xinyishun Hall has made contributions to his achievements. It has long been said that he was an ancient god, and he should have been the reincarnation of the Li family's ancestor Chiyou.

This is still the ordinary people who don’t know that during the great invasion of the demon god, Li Zisheng used the Shui Yao Xingra to wipe out the Brahmin Divine Army. If this matter is confirmed, then the legend of the reincarnation of the military god is no longer a legend, but a true fact.

The appearance of this third young master Li even changed the industrial structure of Tieshan City and Jingnan. Tieshan City became the largest gun manufacturing site in Zhongzhou, and the Changshan Army Workshop jointly organized by the Li family, Hu family and Tieshan Tieshan family has also become a giant with an annual output value of more than 100,000 square meter stones, 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. So the equity distribution of this military workshop is much more complicated than before. The Tiejia Sect, Tianqi Gate, Tiantong Gate, Nanli Sect and Qingyang Sect all have shares in it, which has divided the shares of the original three companies a lot.

But even so, the Li family can earn thousands of square meter stones from the military industry every year. This Yuan stone is really Li Zisheng's private income. However, Mr. Li had no time to take care of it, so he handed it over to his father and younger brother Li Ziren.

However, the southern part of Jingnan has become a paradise for adventurers. The great invasion of the demon gods a few years ago and the later fall of the Red Star completely changed the appearance of the part of the border between southern Xinjiang and Jingzhou.

Because a large number of monsters died in Jingzhou, the rainforest in the southern border south of Jingnan was razed to the ground by the Red Stars, the southern border, which was originally regarded as a dangerous place by humans, became less dangerous overnight.

Although the southern Xinjiang is still a Jedi for cultivators, and their own true energy, magical instruments, talismans, etc. that connect with immortal arts will lose their effectiveness here, but now humans have weapons like guns, even if they are mortals. As long as they are familiar with guns and have a few companions who can trust, they can still venture into the southern Xinjiang.

If you are lucky, a mortal can spend several years comfortably by wandering around southern Xinjiang. In this way, those brave and greedy "adventurers" among the mortals will go to southern Xinjiang to try their luck.

However, this luck is not so easy to try. The rainforest was originally responding quickly. After a few rains, the deserted wasteland became a bustling dense forest, but the plants in it were not as tall as before. Without a large number of monsters, there were still various poisonous insects.

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

However, the "dangerous land" cannot withstand the specialties that can be sold at high prices. As long as you can earn Yuanshi, there will naturally be people who make dangerous livelihoods. You must know that for mortals, except for southern Xinjiang, there is no chance of fighting for their lives in Central China.

More and more mortals come here to take risks. Then more and more merchants are following to buy specialties and sell supplies, and they make the southern part of Jingnan lively. Places like Wangjiang Town have become a prosperous town.

In any case, the southern Xinjiang, which was 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 at Yuanshi. After Li Zhaochang was born, he repeatedly expanded Xinyishun Hall. He bought all the houses around him. Originally, there was only one independent courtyard. Now the entire Xinyishun Hall is almost ten times the size of Li Zisheng when he first arrived in Tieshan City. Of course, at the same time, there are more shopkeepers. Most of these employees are still among the Li tribes in Lishan Village. With the establishment of various branches, Xinyishun Hall has a stronger desire for talents, so more and more Li tribes have entered this system. It can be said that the Xinyishun Hall is really the surname Li, which is a typical family business.

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

In fact, family-based enterprises are not undesirable. There is an illusion that if they do not become joint-stock companies or introduce professional managers, the family-based enterprises will become uncompetitive due to internal personnel confrontation and nepotism, and may even fall apart due to internal borers.

This is not necessarily true. For example, the famous Rothschild family's emblem is five arrows tied together, symbolizing the unity of the five brothers of Rothschild's son who inherited his father's business. Whether it is ancient society or modern society, if relatives cannot believe it, then outsiders must believe it.

Chixian Zhongzhou was not a patriarchal society like the ancient Celestial Empire, nor did it mean that the king, king, minister, father, son and son were the ones. However, since there was no unified administrative agency, the family or sect took on this intelligence.

Therefore, the sect leader and clan leader among the Immortal Clans in Central China have great power and can be said to be the real "local emperors". Because of this, many sects and families have basically no teacher to learn from each other, and major decisions are not decided by one person, but collective decisions, which are a very simple and primitive democratic system.

The larger the clan, the more complex its decision-making system is. This is because as many people are, there are more interest groups within the clan, which requires coordination between all parties.

Of course, according to the special circumstances of each family, this dual decision-making system of sect leader plus elders is either the east wind overwhelming the west wind or the west wind overwhelming the east wind. Sometimes the sect leader is too strong and becomes a one-man ruler, and sometimes the elders will completely undermine the sect leader.

In recent years, Li Luyang, the head of the Li family, saw that Xinyishun Hall became more and more prosperous. As the owner of Xinyishun Hall, Li Zhaochang had a greater and greater voice among the Li tribes, so he simply abdicated and gave up the wise, held a democratic and united tribe conference, and handed over the post of patriarch to Li Zhaochang, retreated to the second line and raised himself to the old age.

In fact, it is really impossible for him to be unwilling to accept his old age. You should know that in Zhongzhou, where there is no government, the position of the patriarch is amazing. It can be said that he is the head of judicial administration. Even if there is an organization like the Presbyterian Church, small things can be decided in one sentence, and even internal members can be punished.

If Li Luyang refused to accept his old age and had always controlled the position of the clan leader, but all the Li tribes entered Xinyishuntang and became Li Zhaochang's employers. If the two sides had a conflict, how could the tribe members handle themselves?

But now the Li family does not live in this huge house, but buys another house in the west city of Tieshan City as the residence of its family. After all, Xicheng is the place where wealthy families live.

Although Li Zhaochang's family is different from the past, they still retained their original living habits. The couple got up early and started breakfast in the restaurant together. While eating and chatting about trivial matters, they heard someone shouting outside: "Dad, mother, the child is back."

The visitor is naturally their second son Li Ziren.

It turned out that today was November 20th. It was the holiday of Tieshan College. Li Ziren returned home early this morning. He walked into the restaurant excitedly with a new copy of the Pioneer Newspaper in his hand. When he saw his parents, he forgot to even ask his parents, and just said excitedly: "Dad, mom, brother, have done something big again!" (To be continued...)

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

Will make up tomorrow.
