Chapter 451 Family Changes
In the past ten years, the entire Song family has developed rapidly. Now there are more than 120 monks in the Song family, and the number of mortals in the family has exceeded 100,000. The foundation in this area is no less than that of other established foundation-building families. How much.
The increase in monks and mortals in the family will naturally bring a great burden. For this reason, Song Qingming and many elders of the Song family have spent a lot of effort over the years to find more ways to earn spiritual stones for the family.
In addition to the income from the original Fangshi shops and several mineral veins, the Song family has also spent a lot of energy learning from other established immortal cultivating families in recent years, and invested a lot of spiritual stones in cultivating spiritual veins and opening new spiritual fields.
Nowadays, there are many more immortal cultivating families in Qinghe County than before, and the income of the shops in Qinghefang has also dropped a lot. Sometimes due to the turmoil in the surrounding area, business is not good, and the family needs to use some spiritual stones to subsidize it.
Compared with the income from mineral veins, which will come to naught sooner or later, the spiritual veins and spiritual fields cultivated and developed are assets that the family can inherit forever. These are also the greatest guarantee that they can maintain the stability of the family in the future.
In addition to these, the Song family has also undergone great changes in other aspects in recent years.
Together with Huang Siyuan, the Song family now has four foundation-building monks. In Qinghe County, its apparent strength has surpassed that of the Huang and Gao families. In recent years, some new Qi-refining families have also moved to the vicinity of Funiu Mountain and have become A vassal family under the Song family.
These vassal families would also take the initiative to hand over some spiritual objects to Funiu Mountain every year in exchange for the Song family's protection. This aspect could be regarded as providing the Song family with a considerable amount of income every year.
The rules of the world of cultivating immortals are like this. The relationship between the strong and the weak is more about interests. If the Qi Refining family wants to be protected by the Foundation-building family, they must hand over some spiritual objects in exchange.
In the same way, if a foundation-building family like the Song family wants to survive safely in the Wei Kingdom controlled by the Xiaoyao Sect, it must abide by the rules of the Xiaoyao Sect, no matter what high-level mineral veins are found in your family's territory, or what other sects need. High-level spiritual objects must be reported to Xiaoyao Sect first.
Just like when the Wang family discovered the rare Geng gold vein in Fengtou Mountain, neither the Wang family nor the Song family dared to covet such a large amount of wealth. They could only report it to Xiaoyao Sect and wait for the sect to send someone to deal with it.
Although the Xiaoyao Sect also gave the Song family and Wang family some shares in the mine afterwards, compared to the original value of the Gengjin mine, this was only a small profit.
Not only these, Xiaoyao Sect will also occupy most of the interests in almost all cities and towns in Weiguo. Because of controlling these cultivation resources, the major cultivators in Weiguo can only continue to support Xiaoyao Sect in order to survive and develop. Transport talents.
In addition to Song Xinyu, the Song family has also sent several people with good spiritual roots to join the Xiaoyao Sect in recent years. Song Qingming also wants to keep them all in the family, but if they are forced to stay, the Song family will not be able to give them anything in the future. Everyone offers Foundation Building Pills.
Rather than seeing them end up on the road like those family elders, it would be better to send them to the Xiaoyao Sect so that they can have a chance to build a foundation on their own in the future.
And now that the Song family has Song Xinyu, a foundation-building elder in the Xiaoyao Sect, these children will have a relatively stable backer after joining the sect, and their lives will not be too difficult.
In addition, the Song family has also developed a new way to earn spiritual stones in recent years, which is brewing spiritual wine.
After Song Qingming accidentally rescued Fu Sanshan and bought the spirit wine formula from him, the Song family had already begun to arrange for monks in the clan to learn wine-making techniques and try to brew the spirit wine themselves.
Fu Sanshan stayed on Funiu Mountain these years, and with the Song family's better resources and conditions, he actually improved several spiritual wines with better quality.
Although Fu Sanshan spent a lot of spiritual stone materials researching and brewing spiritual wine in the Song family, the spiritual wine formula he developed quickly brought a long-term business to the Song family after it was put into mass production.
Although there are many Xiuxian families in Qinghe County who have the skills to make wine, the quality of the spirit wine they brew is not high. After Fu Sanshan modified the original formula, the spirit wine brewed now has better taste and quality. Some soon opened the market in Qinghefang.
Now the Song family has opened a tavern in Qinghefang to sell these home-brewed spiritual wines, and the tavern's business is very good, and it can already create hundreds of spiritual stone profits for the family every year.
Even Song Qingming himself did not expect that a Qi-refining cultivator whom he accidentally rescued could now bring such huge benefits to the Song family.
In order to keep Fu Sanshan as a talent, the Song family also spent a lot of effort. Not only did he serve as the guest elder of the Song family, but the salary paid to him every year was higher than that of other elders. Song Xintong and other family elders now plan to In order to arrange a marriage for Fu Sanshan, he planned to marry him directly into the Song family.
After finishing talking about Song Xinde, Song Qingyu spoke to Song Qingming again: "Over at Qinghefang, news came from Xintang again. The Lu family and the Li family had another conflict half a month ago. The monks from both sides were near the Zhong family in Pingliang Mountain. There was a fight, and it is said that there were casualties. It seems that the incident is getting bigger and bigger."
"Didn't they make peace with the Qinghefang discussion last year? Why did they start fighting again!" When Song Qingyu mentioned this, Song Qingming also felt helpless on his face.
In the past ten years, in addition to the steady development of the Song family, many other immortal cultivating families and forces in Qinghe County have also undergone many changes.
One of the biggest changes is that less than five years have passed since Song Yuanli of the Song family established the foundation. Someone in Qinghe County has successfully built the foundation. What is a little surprising is that the person who built the foundation is not Comes from the four major foundation-building families in Qinghe County.
The name of the person who succeeded in building the foundation was Li Chengyue. He was a monk from a vassal family named Li under the Lu family in Tiexian Mountain. Like the Song family back then, the Li family was quickly promoted from the Qi Refining family to a new one after Li Chengyue established the foundation. The Foundation-Building Immortal Clan.
The four major foundation-building families in Qinghe County have now increased to five.
Among the major foundation-building families in Qinghe County, the monks of the Lu family in Tiexian Mountain have always had a poor reputation for their behavior, and they are naturally very mean to their vassal families. When the Li family was a vassal of the Lu family, they were naturally suppressed by the Lu family. .
After the Li family was promoted to the foundation-building family, they did not continue to maintain a good relationship with the Lu family like the Song family had with the Huang family. Instead, the two families soon turned against each other because of some peripheral interests.
Li Chengyue, the newly promoted foundation-building monk of the Li family, like Xu Ziyan, Song Qingming's friend back then, was also a monk who took risks and successfully built the foundation without using the foundation-building pill.
For monks like Li Chengyue who have not successfully built a foundation using a foundation-building pill, their cultivation and magic power will be a bit stronger than ordinary monks of the same level. After the Li family has this foundation-building ancestor, it has developed like the rising sun. Soon, naturally, the Lu family, which was already declining, would no longer be taken seriously.
In the past few years, the Li family not only took advantage of a mine that belonged to the Lu family, but also poached several vassal families from the Lu family. This completely angered the Lu family, and the two families had already had several conflicts.
Last year, Lu Xingde, the ancestor of the Lu family, had a fight with Li Chengyue outside Qinghefang because of this. It was not until several other major foundation-building families came forward to mediate and persuade that the two families finally stopped.
Not long ago, the Lu and Li families started fighting again. Song Qingming shook his head helplessly when he heard this.
It's not that Song Qingming wants to get involved in the affairs of their two families, but the constant fighting between these two foundation-building families has caused instability in the entire Qinghe County, and even the business of Qinghefang has been affected a lot. The Song family Naturally, we don't want this situation to continue.
Seeing Song Qingming frowning again, Song Qingyu also said helplessly: "The grudge between the Lu family and the Li family has lasted for more than a day or two. Now the two sides have killed and injured many monks in several battles. I think the two families can just let it go. It is indeed not an easy thing to make peace.
I think Brother Qi, you did your best when you came forward to make peace for them last time. This matter should actually be a headache for Feng De, and we don't have to worry about him all the time. "
Song Qingming sighed, shook his head and said: "We are all monks in Qinghe County, so there is no need to make things like this. Qingyu, please send a letter to Yuan Li and ask him to go to Feng De to discuss it. Let's take a look. Could he please invite the Lu and Li families to Qinghefang to sit down and talk again.
Now that the monster beast turmoil in Northern Xinjiang is approaching, the situation is becoming more and more tense. We still need to make preparations in advance. Talk to Xintang and ask him to pay more attention to those outside casual cultivators from now on to prevent those bandit cultivators. They took advantage of the chaos and sneaked into Qinghe County. "
"Brother Seven, don't worry. Xintang has already considered this aspect. He even told me about it in his last letter. With him watching over Qinghefang, there won't be any big mistakes."
Song Qingming nodded and said: "Yeah! It's good if he can think of it. This kid is very careful. We did something right when we transferred him to Qinghefang!"
Song Qingtang has never been able to come out because of the failure of foundation building. A few years ago, at the suggestion of Song Qingyu and others, Song Qingming transferred him to Qinghefang and took over Song Xinhu's job of collecting intelligence for the family.
After going to Qinghefang, because of the change of environment and not having to face too many familiar tribesmen every day, Song Xintang has slowly come out of the shadow of the failure of foundation building.
Song Xintang's ability to do things was always outstanding among the new generation of monks. After he was placed in Qinghefang, Song Xintang took over the responsibility of secretly working for the Song family and collecting intelligence, and he soon became effective in doing so.
Now Song Xintang's subordinates have networked with many peripheral cultivators who secretly work for the Song family. The Song family has finally made great improvements in collecting intelligence compared to other foundation-building families.
