One Sexagenary Cycle Passed in a Hurry (3)

Fourth, rectify the Lineage's atmosphere.

From a macro perspective, the Yang Household's strength has expanded rapidly in recent years, and the confidence of its members has also soared.

This is certainly a good thing, but if it is not handled properly and fosters a spoiled attitude, a good thing can turn into a bad thing.

To prevent such incidents from occurring, the Lineage Assembly decided to take precautions. On the one hand, they would provide ideological education, and on the other hand, they would severely punish family members who seriously violated Clan Rules and committed crimes outside the Lineage name.

Fifth, policies to encourage childbirth.

For the Yang Household family, the greatest benefit of occupying Luochuan Commandery, besides the fixed territory, Spirit Veins, shops, and tax revenue, is the population of the area directly under the Luochuan Sect.

With hundreds of millions of Mortal, the Yang Household's biggest weakness has been remedied.

Although these Mortals are not of the Yang Household family bloodline, it doesn't matter.

On average, a generation for Mortal lasts a maximum of twenty years.

With no worries about food and clothing and multiple wives and concubines, it wouldn't be a problem for a man from the Yang Household to father seven or eight children in twenty years, right?

Sixty years is three generations. Given the Yang Household's current status of having nine million direct Mortal, even if only one million of them are of marriageable age, the number would still increase at least tenfold over sixty years.

This only applies to men of marriageable age; female members of the clan can also carry on the Yang Household bloodline, and the Lineage treats male and female members equally in their upbringing.

If this rate continues, in sixty years there will be at least twenty to thirty million people with the Yang Household bloodline.

Even if we don't have the Yang Household bloodline, so what?

Growing up in the Lineage and receiving Academy education, aside from the surname and bloodline, what makes me different from the Yang Household Member?

Take the clansmen sitting in the main hall now, for example; a third, or even more, of them do not have Yang Household blood.

However, their loyalty to their Lineage remains undiminished.

Moreover, according to the Yang Household's rules, the wives or husbands of these people must be Yang Household Member.

From the next generation onward, they will naturally possess the Yang Household bloodline, and there will be no hidden dangers.

To encourage childbirth, the Lineage Assembly decided that for the next sixty years, all members of the Yang Household bloodline would receive a certain amount of food rations every day.

This includes staple foods, vegetables, meat, and so on.

If Cultivator appears in the household, the ration will be tripled.

What these Mortal the Yang Household need to do is to reproduce as much as possible. Although it sounds strange, many powerful Lineage that have suddenly risen to prominence in the Lu Wu Realm have had this experience.

While Lineage- based and sect-based development models share some similarities, they also differ significantly.

One very obvious point is reflected at the level of Mortal.

Cultivation Lineage will do everything in their power to spread Lineage bloodline, while sects do not have this burden; they only need to select suitable disciples.

Of course, cultivation Lineage also have their own advantages, namely unity. They rarely have internal conflicts. While there are factions, they are not enough to overthrow the Lineage.

Unlike those Cultivation Sects, many of which declined due to internal strife.

While Lineage do experience internal strife, the overall proportion is several times lower compared to sects.

Sixth, business development.

Over the next sixty years, the Lineage will invest a great deal of resources to help the Purple Moon Merchant Association expand.

The Purple Moon Merchant Association of Commerce will not be limited to Qin Province, but will also establish branches in other states of the Northern River Region, other regions of the Eastern Continent, and even the Southern Sea, Eastern Sea, and Western Continent.

As usual, this matter will be handled by Yang Tianjiu, the head of the Commerce Hall.

The Yang Household's upper echelons will not interfere; they will only organize people to audit the accounts at a certain time each year.

The Commerce Hall is the department most prone to corruption, and the Yang Household exerts the strongest oversight over it.

However, when faced with the prospect of personal gain, there will always be those who take the risk.

Over the years, as the Purple Moon Merchant Association has become increasingly profitable, the amount of money embezzled and bribed by members of the Commerce Hall has also grown larger.

On one occasion, Lineage investigation revealed that a Foundation Establishment Early Stage cultivator had embezzled over a million Low-Grade Spirit Stones in just three years.

This news even alarmed Yang Tianyou, who personally summoned the clansman to his side, wanting to see how this guy had managed to do it.

Millions of Spirit Stones, three years—in a way, this still counts as talent.

Of course, to make an example of him, Yang Tianyou ordered him to be imprisoned in the Lineage's black prison for a hundred years, where he suffered greatly. He still has more than eighty years left in his sentence, which terrifies the other clansmen in the Commerce Hall, who fear that they might be imprisoned one day as well.

Of course, despite their fear, these guys will still reach out and embezzle when the time comes.

Human nature is so complex; ultimately, only a minority can resist temptation.

Or rather, no one can resist temptation.

The only reason someone can resist is because they are pursuing a greater temptation.

The above six points are the main topics discussed at the Lineage Meeting. They are all open to public discussion, and confidential matters will not be brought to the forefront.

In conclusion, after the Lineage Assembly summarized and sorted things out, the somewhat chaotic situation in the Yang Household was quickly brought under control.

The Lineage got back on track and developed rapidly.

At Great White Residence, Yang Tianyou strolled in the garden, with Luochuan River Dragon King following closely behind like an old servant, his back slightly hunched, revealing absolute piety and respect.

"One month from now, you will lead the Luochuan River Flood Dragon Clan back to the Eastern Sea!" Yang Tianyou said calmly.

"Yes, sir!" the Luochuan River Dragon King replied respectfully, a flash of hatred crossing his eyes, which was then replaced by a raging fire of revenge.

"Make a List what resources you need as soon as possible and report it to me. I will supplement them as appropriate!" Yang Tianyou continued without turning his head.

"Yes!" The Luochuan River Dragon King was overjoyed and quickly replied.
