43 Chapter 43: A Gentleman's Revenge, Never Too Late Even After a Thousand Years_1
In the factory building.
"Brother Qin, it's a boy." Bai Yan leaned on the bed with the child in her arms, showing a somewhat exhausted smile, "I wonder if he has a Spiritual Root."
Qin Changqing wiped the sweat off her forehead and said with affection, "Whether he has one or not, he is still our child."
"Mhm." Bai Yan looked at her child, and a strange feeling of responsibility emerged in her heart for the first time ever, a responsibility called motherhood. She wanted her child to grow up healthy and witness them settle down and succeed.
Two months after Bai Yan's child was born, Wang Xiaoxiao also gave birth to a son for Qin Changqing. Thus, the number of offspring in the Qin family reached 15.
In the system panel:
[Host: Qin Changqing]
[Spiritual Root: Tier 8 Lower-level]
[Cultivation: Tier 2 Foundation Establishment]
[Sub-occupation: Elixir Refining (Tier 1 Medium-level)]
[Family Members: 22]
[Family Fortune: 6129]
[Offspring: 15]
With the birth of the three children in a row, Qin Changqing's cultivation base had increased a lot, but still only reached the peak of the Tier 2 Foundation Establishment and didn't even get to Tier 3.
It was then that Qin Changqing truly realized the "disadvantage" of heavenly Foundation Establishment.
It's too difficult to upgrade!
His Spiritual Root was originally poor, so his cultivation progress was slow. Now, it became even slower.
Left with no choice, Qin Changqing had to work even harder.
Since upgrading was slow, the only option was to have children more quickly.
However, at the moment, he still had two more things to deal with.
First, the children had grown up, and it was time for them to start practicing or learning business.
The first child of Qin Changqing and Su Xiaoyue did have a Spiritual Root, but his aptitude was poor. Sending him to Lingxiao Sect, he would only be an ordinary outer sect disciple at most.
Although he was the Eldest Brother of Xuanyi Peak, the sect had principles for recruiting disciples. If everyone pulled strings and made backdoor deals, the sect would have been in chaos a long time ago.
Therefore, the sect strictly regulated this matter.
This posed a difficult choice.
Either send the child to be an ordinary outer sect disciple.
Or let him stay in the Qin family and manage the mortal business affairs, contributing to the development of the Qin family.
Qin Changqing's first child, Qin Yueru, liked to practice cultivation and decided to join Lingxiao Sect.
But the second child, Qin Haotian, made a different choice.
"Father, I wish to stay at home and take care of the family business."
"Are you sure?" Su Xiaoyue couldn't help but remind him, "Ordinary life is complicated, and dealing with people can be tiring. Once you've made your decision, there is no room for change."
Although Qin Haotian was still young, he was very sensible.
"Mother, I know all that and I understand that cultivation is not easy, either. I don't have much talent to begin with, so I might as well spend my energy on more valuable things."
It had to be said that, in this world, children who hadn't been influenced by internet culture had impressive manners and knowledge.
Qin Changqing was very satisfied with his child's performance.
Fittingly, he could leave the family matters in the hands of his children and be at ease.
Moreover, Qin Changqing discovered that the increase in aptitude for his wives was much greater than it was for the children.
It meant that, invariably, there would always be some people unsuitable for cultivation; they would join the ranks of ordinary people.
Ordinary people would experience birth, aging, illness, and death. Such was the normal state of human affairs.
"In that case, starting today, I will find someone to guide you in understanding the family business," said Qin Changqing.
"Thank you, Father!"
The decision of Qin Haotian also implied that the future development trend of the Qin family would follow this direction.In order to consider the long-term development of the family, Qin Changqing planned to set down some rules.
As the saying goes, a country has its laws, and a family has its rules. If a family wants to grow and prosper, it needs rules.
Although there are only about twenty people in the family at present, after a hundred or even a thousand years, the Qin family will become a large family with tens of thousands of people.
And he, Qin Changqing, will become the 'ancestor' of the Qin family.
Therefore, it's time to take precautions before things happen.
That day, Qin Changqing discussed many family regulations with his wives, among which the most important one was — the more offspring the family has, the better the rewards!
Rewards for having children.
This rule puzzled Su Xiaoyue and the others.
Although they all knew that their husband loved children, making such a rule seemed a bit strange.
However, Qin Changqing was the head of the family, and if he liked the idea, no one would object.
After all, having more children is a good thing, as it allows the Qin family to expand. People in this world value lineage greatly.
Of course, Qin Changqing wanted to expand the family quickly. Once the Qin family grew to thousands or even tens of thousands of people, his power would also increase rapidly, and then he 15:47
would be able to hold the Sect Leader down and give him a good rubbing.
Sect Leader, I want you to help me cultivate!
A gentleman's revenge, even after a thousand years, is not too late.
Of course, encouraging births does not mean that anything goes.
According to the system's rules, closeness is required, and the other party must be willing to be considered family members.
Aside from this point, from the perspective of human ethics, the Qin family cannot force good women into submission.
Their legs would be broken!
After establishing the family rules, Qin Changqing began to focus on the second major matter.
Moving.
Heiyu Town is too small. With the current development, the scale of the Qin family will fill the entire town in a few years.
Therefore, taking advantage of this 'promotion,' Qin Changqing planned to move the family as well.
"Brother Qin, you are finally going to Yinxu Prefecture." Jin Hong came to congratulate him as soon as he heard the news. He laughed and said, "Heiyu Town is too small for you, Yinxu Prefecture is just right."
"However, there are a few points to pay attention to when you get there. First, you should be aware of the exclusiveness of the nobles. There will always be open and secret fights between them. Once an outside force wants to enter, they will be uniformly excluded. The identity of a Lingxiao Sect disciple will make them wary, but this is not absolute. The sect's attitude towards the struggle between families will not be so strong."
"Secondly, there were originally four stewards in Yinxu Prefecture. When you go there, you should replace one of them. The relationship between the four stewards can be sensitive as they are involved in wealth and finances."
"Last but not least, pay special attention to the power of the City Lord of Yinxu Prefecture. As you know, although Yinxu Prefecture is within the Lingxiao Sect's territory, it actually belongs to the Dayan Dynasty. With the existence of these two forces, conflicts are inevitable."
In this world, dynasties and sects coexist, relying on each other yet being wary of each other.
Royal power is not supreme, and only the strong have the right to speak.
Some places have powerful dynasties, whilst sects are subordinate.
However, in some places, the sects are more powerful, and the dynasties are subordinate.
It can be said that the dynasty is actually just a more complicated sect, and the entanglement with the sect forces is far from clear in just a few words.
The power of the Dayan Dynasty covers the whole Tianchuan State, but it is impossible for them to be enemies with all sects.
Especially for a major force like the Lingxiao Sect, having many allies is always better than having many enemies.
However, on the surface, the two sides are friends but have many hidden disputes.
It's just that these disputes have not been brought to light, and both sides know the truth without saying it.
"That's how it is. It seems that the situation in Yinxu Prefecture is much more complicated than I thought." Qin Changqing found that he had been thinking too simplistically.
The factors between noble families, between sects, and between sects and dynasties all need to be considered.
The Qin family is currently too weak and can only rely on the relationship with Xuanyi Peak.
This greatly increased Qin Changqing's sense of urgency to have children.
"Junior Brother Zhao, are you willing to go to Yinxu Prefecture with me?" Qin Changqing asked.
Honestly, Jin Hong's cultivation might not be great, but his interpersonal skills are quite adept.
