Immortality Cultivation: I Can increase My Stats Using Clansmen's Qi-Blood

Chapter 644: Chapter 310 Qingliu Fang_1
 

And those senior figures within the cities chose to submit to the Luo Family of Qingshi City

not only because of the overall formidable strength of the Luo Family.

There was another very crucial point, and that was

within each city, there existed an army exclusively belonging to the Luo Family of Qingshi City.

With military forces stationed, those people naturally had no choice but to submit to the Luo Family of Qingshi City.

Originally, such a system, this rather harmonious scene,

was considered quite satisfactory.

But now, suddenly some wished to change the status quo.

They wanted to enhance the Luo Family of Qingshi City’s control over the external cities.

For the Luo Family of Qingshi City, this was indeed a good thing.

However, if they truly wanted to complete this task,

to achieve those goals set out in administrative duties,

this was not going to be an easy matter at all.

“What to do?”

“Do we set aside this matter for the time being, pay it no heed, or say…”

“Let this administrative proposal pass directly?”

“Then, let the subordinates deal with it?”

Above the seat of power,

Luo Ping, the current Family Head of the Luo Family, was silently contemplating this in his mind.

Approving this matter was nothing more than a flick of his fingers for him.

But if they truly intended to implement it,

there would definitely, definitely, definitely be countless obstacles emerging.

The Luo Family of Qingshi City was not fearful of these obstacles,

possessing absolute strength, they were not a force that smaller clans could contend with.

However, if problems were encountered and the Luo Family resorted to slaughter as a solution,

the regime centered around the Luo Family of Qingshi City would soon become unstable, and even…

gradually deteriorate, bit by bit.

This was not Luo Ping making a joke or exaggerating in the least.

At certain times, those local bigwigs and prestigious families were immensely useful.

Take, for instance, the matter of taxation.

If the Luo Family of Qingshi City really dealt with everything through slaughter,

by the time those prestigious families were gradually wiped out,

it would become exceedingly difficult for the Luo Family to collect taxes from various places as effortlessly as they did now.

Yes, on the Xuanyuan Continent, there were many people,

even one might say an endless amount.

Slay one batch, and there will be countless others, or new families emerging.

But conversely, with the fall of those established families,

the economic and administrative levels of various places would regress by years, if not decades.

Such a result was somewhat unacceptable to Luo Ping.

Not to say it was entirely unacceptable,

but rather, he was somewhat reluctant.

Compared to that uncertain future, a stable current state was undoubtedly much preferable.

Even if, indeed, reforms were necessary,

they should at least wait until matters with the Great Flame Dynasty were settled, before gradually implementing them.

To initiate reforms now was clearly a bit unrealistic.

…

After casually setting aside the administrative document in his hands,

Luo Ping picked up another piece of administrative work.

He opened it and slowly began to peruse it.

Since today was a pre-arranged rest day,

within this room,

aside from Luo Ping himself, the current Family Head of the Luo Family,

there was no one else.

Of course, if he wanted his advisory group to gather in this room during their rest time, to accompany him in his administrative duties,

it certainly was not impossible.

But it might lead to resentment in private.

So after much consideration,

Luo Ping refrained from actions that could attract enmity.

“It feels quite strange suddenly not to see Luo Yao, that boy,”

Inside the room,

Luo Ping subconsciously turned his head.

He shifted his gaze towards the spot where Luo Yao had often sat in the past.

But right now,

that place was empty; Luo Yao was not there.

“I wonder what that boy is up to today?”

“Lately, he acquired so many treasures of heaven and earth; perhaps he has gone off to enjoy himself somewhere?”

He thought for a moment,

and soon Luo Ping shook his head to himself.

Unlikely, it shouldn’t be the case.

He was well aware of Luo Yao’s ways.

Possibly, when his mind was less mature, the boy often frequented brothels and gambling dens for amusement.

But now, he was the confirmed next Family Head of the Luo Family.

He would certainly not visit places that would damage his reputation.

The boy would surely be sensible about this,

even if just for the sake of his family’s honor.

“Forget it, back to the administrative duties.”

“Although the advisory group has taken care of many matters I didn’t have time for,”

“as the current Family Head of the Luo Family, I still have a great many tasks that require my personal attention,”

“When that boy has grown to my level,

“I’ll pass on the position of the current Family Head to him, right?”

“Sitting in this small room all day, dealing with these administrative duties, is really not something a normal person would do.”

“Honestly, I even feel like this is more exhausting than being in prison.”
