Protect Our Chief-Chapter 683 - 83: The Increasingly Prosperous Wang Family_2

The family has its own rules, and the clan has its own laws. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Zhou Qing Ning, the wife of the sixth brother Wang Shou Lian, although from a military family, once she chose to marry Wang Shou Lian, naturally she had to abide by the rules of the Wang Family.

Therefore, when Zhou Qing Ning became pregnant with her first child, Wang Lixuan, she resigned from her position in the military and returned to the Wang Family’s Main Residence to nurture and give birth. Over the years, she also stayed at the Wang Family’s Main Residence, raising the children. When a clan member marries a wife, she marries into the entire family. And the children born are not only her own but also the whole family’s children.

Children who have not come of age must live in the main residence and must attend the Clan Academy to learn and grow with same-age clan members, receiving a complete Wang Family education.

Such family rules cannot be disobeyed by anyone.

Otherwise, in cases like Shou Lian’s, where both husband and wife live in the military camp, and their children grow up there... Lixuan, Zongping, and Zongtai, these few children would feel estranged from the entire family.

Only coming and going during holidays, how is that different from being relatives?

Therefore, the family concept in this world is different from that on Earth; in the eyes of all clan members, the importance of everyone definitely outweighs that of the individual family. The closeness among clan members and their recognition of each other’s identity is not comparable to familial affection between relatives on Earth.

Wang Shou Lian grew up in such an environment and naturally agrees with this concept. Immediately, he shook his head and said, "What’s so hard about that? Didn’t my father go through the same? Besides, I’m not holding a position far away, I can occasionally go back to look. If you want to talk about hardships, third brother and seventh brother, who are in the commandery, have it a bit harder."

The brothers talked while drinking, both remarking how long it had been since they had such an opportunity to chat alone.

"Fourth brother~ Taking on the position of Garrison Commander in Xin’an Town this time, although it came unexpectedly," Wang Shou Lian pondered slightly, "but I have already discussed with father, bringing over a group of loyal and talented young soldiers we’ve cultivated in the military over the years, about a hundred in number. They are not only of good character and potential, but they can maintain law and order in Xin’an Town and assist Wang Family in the subsequent development of the new Outer Domain."

"Since they are your and third uncle’s confidants, we should not neglect them," Wang Shouzhe pondered slightly, "The family will allocate an additional one hundred thousand Qian Gold worth of resources every year for both you and third uncle to supplement the ’military expenses.’

"Fourth brother, that’s too much," Wang Shou Lian hastily said, "The family has always supported us every year, another hundred thousand is excessive. The family has many expenses."

Wang Ding Race and Wang Shou Lian were both representations of the Wang Family’s extending influence in the military. Therefore, every year the Wang Family secretly supports them, allowing them more opportunities to build relationships with colleagues, cultivate confidants, and gradually strengthen their influence.

"It’s fine, Xin’an Town has entered a rapid development phase, with farms emerging like bamboo shoots after a rain, and the annual total revenue is changing year by year," Wang Shouzhe said seriously. "However, since the Struggle of the Imperial Sons has begun, our Daqian Kingdom will inevitably face turmoil and changes in the future. Every bit of power we hold will allow us a measure of ease."

"This money, in addition to expanding your influence, can also be used to expand intelligence networks and deepen military relationships, also broadening the Wang Family’s reach."

Discussing this matter brought a tinge of dissatisfaction to Wang Shouzhe’s heart. How did the Struggle of the Imperial Sons happen... If he had a few hundred years to develop, the Wang Family would have become a massive entity by then, and even if the Struggle of the Imperial Sons occurred, he wouldn’t be so passive.

However, since the waves of the era have come, Wang Shouzhe absolutely isn’t the type to complain about the heavens. He’ll only put more effort into strategic planning to avoid the Wang Family being swept away like it’s "slapped dead" by the waves of the era.

"I understand, Fourth Brother," Wang Shou Lian said seriously, "Over the years, my father and I have also developed many networks, and we will put more effort into developing relationships in the future. Once there is any sign of trouble, we can be alert in advance."

"Don’t sever the path with Wei Wenxun either," Wang Shouzhe laughed, "You and third uncle can be considered his old subordinates. This friendship might come in handy someday."

"In addition, you must also pay attention to military resource issues, especially Bone Marrow Purify Pill, Infinite Treasure Pill, or related elixir refining materials. These are resources our family urgently needs."

For Wang Shouzhe, treasures that can enhance bloodline talent, like Bone Marrow Purify Pill and Infinite Treasure Pill, are in endless demand. He can’t spend enormous resources reaching the Great Celestial Pride bloodline level himself,

and then neglect his other clan brothers and sisters, leaving them to fend for themselves?

Within capable means, naturally the more Celestial Pride bloodlines in the family, the better. Not only will they themselves be powerful, but it will also impact the strength of the Wang Family’s future generations.

Now, the overall bloodline of the Wang Family has improved significantly, and the innate bloodlines of newly born young children are a step stronger. They’ve exceeded the average line of Wang Shouzhe, Wang Shounuo, and others.

"Yes, Fourth Brother," Wang Shou Lian complied readily.

In the eyes of the Wang Clan Members, Fourth Brother Wang Shouzhe seems almost like a divine figure, and they would support any decision unconditionally.

Unknowingly, more than an hour had passed.

Zhou Qing Ning knocked and entered, bowing slightly and greeting, "Fourth Uncle, husband. Xuaan’Er and Ping’Er are performing tasks nearby and came to visit the husband upon hearing the news."
