Chapter 365 Cutting Off One's Arm

Wang Minghui's disappearance was a big blow to Wang Nannan, but life had to go on anyway. With the departure of Wang Taizhi and Wang Mingjuan, many things in the family were taken care of by Wang Nannan alone.

The great changes in the Dakang Dynasty, coupled with the continued holding of the imperial examination system, allowed many knowledgeable people to enter the court. Under the management of these knowledgeable people, the Dakang Dynasty unexpectedly entered a period of rising national strength. For a time, the Dakang Dynasty was prosperous.

Wang Nannan sorted out the family affairs and became a hands-off shopkeeper again.

The Wang family began to split up again, allowing the cultivators to lead a varying number of mortals in the form of a big family to establish small families in various roads of the Dakang Dynasty.

The Wang family gave these scattered small families an initial amount of funds. Apart from that, they would not contact them unless necessary until one of them died and turned into a ghost cultivator and returned to the family.

The reason why the Wang family did this was because Wang Nannan found that the nobles of the Dakang Dynasty had been almost cleared out by the Dakang Emperor in the process of sorting out the various relationships in the family.

As a family of earls, the Wang family has barely become one of the top powerful families in the Dakang Dynasty. Even though the Wang family has always kept a low profile, Wang Nannan is still worried.

Just play a big game and ask the clansmen to disperse directly.

Anyway, the Wang family is not short of population now. Let some clansmen with no potential go out to start their own businesses, and put eggs in different baskets.

And these scattered families will settle in various parts of the Dakang Dynasty and continue to add bricks and tiles to the population of the Wang family.

The first batch of families sent out to start their own businesses totaled 10,000 households, nearly 130,000 monks, and millions of mortals.

The action of the Earl of Laiyang to divide the family attracted the attention of many forces including the Dakang royal family, but Wang Nannan strictly ordered the clansmen to follow the laws of the Dakang Dynasty, so as not to leave any handle for others.

As the last support given by the family to these clansmen who can start their own businesses, they funded the purchase of courtyards of different sizes for them to live in.

The reduction in the number of clansmen made the overall scale of the Wang family smaller and less noticeable.

Furthermore, the scale of Wang's Chamber of Commerce is too large, which is also a great hidden danger. Wang Nannan simply went all out. In order to save the family, he directly cut off one arm and auctioned the shares of Wang's Chamber of Commerce. The Wang family only kept 51% of the shares, which was actually a controlling stake.

Gather other forces and let them join Wang's Chamber of Commerce, so that the Wang family can form an alliance with other forces in another way.

Compared with the dispersion of Wang's clan members, the auction of Wang's Chamber of Commerce's shares obviously attracted more attention from the monks.

You must know that after the royal family dealt with a large number of dukes and earls, among the remaining chambers of commerce, Wang's Chamber of Commerce is definitely among the top, and it is the existence of many forces. Now there is a chance to divide this big cake, and powerful monks will naturally not let it go.

For this reason, the Wang family specially held a special auction to divide the shares to be sold into 49 parts, each accounting for 1% of the shares of the entire chamber of commerce, and divided into 49 auctions.

In this way, the Wang family still has 51% of the shares, still holding the controlling stake, and will not affect the operation of the Wang's Chamber of Commerce.

Moreover, the shares sold to the outside world only have the right to divide the profits, and cannot interfere with the operation of the Wang's Chamber of Commerce.

Even so, the outside world is still flocking to the shares of the Wang family and the Wang's Chamber of Commerce, causing the special auction held by the Wang family to be directly full.

And the Wang family auction does not require spiritual stones, but high-level resources to auction shares.

The auction was hosted by Wang Xiangxiu himself. Under the watchful eyes of the public, all the shares of the Wang's Chamber of Commerce were snapped up and auctioned off. The Wang family received a large amount of high-level resources, all of which were added to the family treasury.

Before Wang Nannan had time to carefully check these high-level resources, he was called over by Wang Xiangxiu, "Take a look at these?"

Wang Xiangxiu pointed to the list and said: "These are the list of forces that will auction shares today."

Wang Nannan looked at it twice carefully, "What's the problem with this?"

Wang Xiangxiu looked serious and pointed at the ones above one by one. The name of the faction said, "These are all sent by the royal family. In other words, 49% of the shares we auctioned were bought by the royal family, and the royal family became the second largest shareholder of the Wang's Chamber of Commerce."

Wang Nannan stared at Wang Xiangxiu and asked in surprise: "Why did the royal family buy the shares of the Wang's Chamber of Commerce? The royal family is not short of spiritual stones, why would they be interested in this trifle?"

"You ask me, who should I ask?" Wang Xiangxiu glanced at Wang Nannan with dissatisfaction. He just felt that the royal family's approach was not in line with common sense.

But now the money and goods have been settled, it's not too late to regret.

Soon after the auction ended, the Wang family divided the second batch of self-reliant clansmen. This time the population was larger, with 30,000 households, nearly 200,000 cultivators, and more than 5 million mortals.

Most of these cultivators are from the Wang family from the Minghai Xiuxian world. Each of these Wang family members has several sons-in-law and daughters-in-law.

At the same time, Wang Nannan also discovered an interesting thing. When these clansmen set up their own clans, their luck was weakened to varying degrees. This was equivalent to the fact that Jiuzhou Ding no longer recognized them as members of the Wang family, and the luck of the human race that was eliminated was transferred to the clansmen who were still in the Wang family.

Two batches of main clans were sent away by the Wang family in succession, causing the population of the Wang family to drop sharply, but also becoming more elite.

If the number is small, puppets can be used instead, but if the quality is high, it will provide better support for the future development of the Wang family. This will not only reduce the royal family's attention to the Wang family, but also save the internal resources of the Wang family, and at the same time allow the Wang family members to be more widely distributed on the Shenhui Continent.

Outsiders think that the Wang family is cutting off one arm and can't understand the intention of the Wang Jia family; but in Wang Nannan's view, this move kills three birds with one stone.

However, Wang Nannan is still a little dissatisfied. The number of Wang family cultivators has been temporarily controlled, but the number of mortals is still a little overloaded.

Especially in the Minghai Xiuxian Realm, the Wang family mortals have married mortals with other surnames, causing the number of mortals to increase sharply.

If they continue to multiply like this, the Minghai Xiuxian Realm may be overcrowded.

For this reason, Wang Nannan plans to continue to migrate ordinary mortals, especially those who have difficulty becoming warriors, and keep them as reproductive machines, which now feels like a hindrance.

Let Wang Nanjun help with the first screening, and then Wang Nannan will personally take the Mountain and River Map back to the Nether Sea Cultivation World, bring a large number of mortals back to the Shenhui Continent, and gradually settle them outward with Laiyang City as the center.

There are already a large number of mortal cities on the Shenhui Continent, which are just right for settling the Wang family members.
