Chapter 154 City Planning

"Your name is Qingmei, right?"

"This slave has met the ancestor!"

Qingmei was slightly shocked, but she didn't expect Xu Mu to still remember her.

"You are temporarily responsible for the affairs of the clan."

"this……"

Qingmei is in a bit of a dilemma, because there are too few people left, and it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without straw.

"Ancestor, do you want to recruit more people?" Qingmei said bravely.

Chi Mu was dull by nature and didn't know what to say, but she didn't dare not say it. If things couldn't be done because there were too few people, she couldn't afford it.

"No need, someone will be there soon!" Xu Mu said calmly.

"Will there be someone soon?"

Qingmei and Chi Mu were puzzled, but they didn't dare to ask any more questions.

Xu Mu then announced a few more rules, which were similar to those of ordinary big families. The only difference was that the penalties for violation were severe.

While Xu Mu was reorganizing the family, Lu Le and others who had left the Xu family had joined the group of people who had been driven away by Chi Feiyan.

There are two leaders of this group of people, one is Lu Yi, the original Lu family, and the other is Chi Feiyan's uncle, Chi Guyu, who was originally the number two person in the Chi family.

Xu Mu only asked Chi Feiyan to rectify the family, but did not ask her to kill them all immediately, so she just cleared out the diehards who supported Chi Shouyuan and Lu Feier, gave them a little trouble and let them fend for themselves.

After all, they were blood relatives, so she couldn't kill someone for no reason.

Xu Mu also acquiesced to her way of handling it.

The Liyang Sect would not really care if a large number of monks were massacred without justifiable reasons. In name, they were only responsible for managing Baihefang City and did not have the right to take life or death.

When the Luo family massacred the monks in Baihefang City in order to find Xu Mu, they only dared to do so secretly.

Of course, if Xu Mu had to kill them, there was nothing he could do, but he just didn't want to waste that time.

Xu Mu didn't want to argue with a group of ants, but this group of people were a little unwilling to do so.

When they stayed in the Xu family, they didn't realize it. Only after they left the Xu family and became casual cultivators did they realize how difficult the world was.

Casual cultivators and family cultivators are completely different things. Not only do everything have to be done personally, but there is no guarantee of income.

People with status like Lu Yi and Chi Guyu used to not only cultivate but also manage people in the family, so they didn't have to worry about resources at all.

But now they are kicked out of the family and have nothing.

Living conditions plummeted.

Even the casual cultivators who they originally looked down on now dare not take them seriously.

Accustomed to glory, wealth, arrogance and extravagance, they soon couldn't hold it any longer.

Especially Lu Yi and Chi Guyu, who originally had relatively high status.

The foundation of the family's existence is profit. If they cannot provide enough benefits to everyone, not only will the living conditions become worse, but the people under him will soon fall apart.

When the time comes, they will really become alone.

There is a foundation building period and there is no foundation building period are completely different things.

However, with the resources they currently have, it is basically impossible to train another one in the foundation stage, so they can only find a way to go back.

So under the leadership of Lu Yi and Chi Guyu, they contacted Lu Lang and others within the family and began to cause trouble in Fang City.

The purpose was to make Xu Mu unable to bear the pressure and recruit them back.

It won't be long before they admit their mistake, show a clear conscience, and give each other a step down.

But what they never expected was that Xu Mu directly came to kill them all. Not only did he not recruit them back, he also drove out all the members of the two small families, leaving only a very small number of diehards.

"Master, what should we do now?"

Lu Lang looked at Lu Yi and asked.

Originally, he wanted to help Lu Yi return to the family, but he didn't expect that he would be involved.

Lu Lang really regrets it now. Having family support and not having family support are completely different things. It used to be that he still had a chance to advance to foundation building, but now he has no hope at all.

Now if Xu Mu asked him if he wanted to change his surname, Lu Lang would definitely agree.

If he no longer exists, then what's the point of the family's existence.

It's a pity that there is only one chance. Judging from Xu Mu's attitude, he may be too busy to take back his life.

"What else can we do? Of course we have to go down the same path! I don't believe that he can manage such a large market with so many people!" Lu Yi said fiercely.

He has no other way to go now. If he doesn't want to be reduced to a miserable casual cultivator, he can only sink his boat and force Xu Mu to surrender first. At worst, he will have time to give the other party a chance to step down.

"That's all we can do!"

Lu Lang sighed.

Just when the people who had been driven out of the Chilu family were preparing to join forces to stir up trouble in Baihefang City, a flying boat arrived from the Liyang Sect, bringing Si Tan'er, the foundation-building monk, and San More than a hundred local cultivators from Liyang City.

"Husband, why did you ask me to bring so many people here?"

Si Tan'er said in confusion.

Before coming, Xu Mu only summoned her to recruit a group of casual cultivators at a high price without explaining the reason.

"Of course it's the management of the city."

Xu Mu did not hide anything and told the situation in Baihefang City.

"What? These people are really brave. Husband, just leave it to me and see how I deal with them!"

Si Tan'er showed a rare hint of domineering.

"good!"

Xu Mu agreed with a smile.

With him by his side, there won't be any problems, and he can also take this opportunity to train Si Tan'er.

"This one is for self-defense!"

Xu Mu took out the two late-stage foundation-building refined corpses that he had snatched from the elder of the Iron Corpse Gang and gave them to Si Tan'er.

In order to cover up the smell of corpse refining, he also specially crafted a set of armor. Except for Si Tan'er, most people would just think it was a puppet.

Speaking of puppets, Xu Mu is really serious about refining them.

Compared with one-time supplies such as talismans, puppets are obviously more durable.

It can even be passed down as a family inheritance.

"Thank you, husband!"

Si Tan'er was naturally very happy to get two thugs in the late stage of foundation building for nothing.

Late at night, the two of them couldn't help but talk a lot. When it was coming to an end, Xu Mu suddenly asked.

"Tan'er, do you want a child?"

"I want it! I've even dreamed of it! But it's too difficult in our current state!"

Si Tan'er showed a hint of disappointment.

She naturally hopes to have a child to consolidate their relationship.

It's just that when she and Xu Mu got married, Xu Mu was already in the foundation-building stage, so there was no improvement after trying for so long.

"Don't worry! As long as you are willing, I can find a way!"

"Really?" Si Tan'er said in surprise.

"certainly!"

"any solution?"

"Again!"

"..."

After handing over the affairs of Baihefang City to Si Tan'er, Xu Muchao concentrated on setting up the formation.

With more than 300 new members, the order of the city was quickly stabilized, and the family was running in an orderly manner.

Si Tan'er had helped her grandfather manage his business before, and with Xu Mu's guidance from behind, running a small market would not be a problem.

As for Lu Yi and the others, they were just clowns. Si Tan'er had already dealt with them before they started to attack.

In order to help Si Tan'er stabilize the situation in Baihefang City, Xu Mu also recruited his old friend, Shopkeeper Tu.

At the same time, Xu Mu planned the development direction of Baihefang City for the next ten years according to local conditions according to the city planning in his previous life. With this plan, Si Taner could make the city prosperous without having to use his brain at all.

At the same time, the arrangement of the formation was not left behind. Within a month, a white mist formed by the formation enveloped Baihefang City.

Xu Mu handed over control to Si Tan'er, and Baihefang City was completely back on track.

He opened the system and checked. After a series of operations, the family's luck had reached 680 points.

Just when Xu Mu was counting the time and preparing to return to the Cangming Sea, Chi Feiyan suddenly came back with a big belly.
