Where did you hear this news? Tang Ming was shocked.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
The Han River is another massive tributary of the Longjiang, but it is ten thousand miles away from the Lingjiang. How did Tang Cunfu know about the situation so far away?bender
My wifes maiden family is the Xue Clan from Chengzhou. A few days ago, we received a secret letter. Thirty days of continual heavy rain in July overwhelmed the Han River. Chengzhou suffered a flood that only comes once in a century, turning eight hundred li of fertile fields into a marshland. Winter is coming, and they plan to send a group of people to Xiling to seek refuge with me. Tang Cunfu stated confidently.
Having received this news, it was as if he had already foreseen Tang Zhis plans. The food that can be carried in four Wancheng Treasure Ships could feed so many people. Taking this ship of food to Chengzhou, he wondered how many slaves and warriors it could be exchanged for.
Didnt Tang Zhi trick me into gathering grain in the sub-clans just to strengthen the clans power and exchange grain for people?
This strategy could deceive others, but it wont deceive me! Tang Cunfu thought bitterly.
Originally, if Tang Zhi had been honest and distributed the profits evenly, he would have certainly helped gather the grain. But he couldnt believe how shameless Tang Zhi was acting this time.
First, he allowed Tang Zuo to establish a new hall and pushed many craftsmen and experts into the new hall. Now, he wanted to go to Chengzhou to make a profit.
The most annoying thing was that he didnt give a hint of his plans. Hundreds of patriarchs from the sub-clans were merely his pawns, discarded after being used.
No, he wouldnt. Tang Ming shook his head again, unwilling to believe it. The patriarch is not that kind of person. He has always shared the benefits equally. According to what you said, is he going to monopolize things this time?
Fool! Tang Cunfu said angrily. In the past, it was just money, food, and jewelry that Tang Zhi was generous with. But think carefully! What we need most in the sub-clans is the strength of warriors, not those gold and silver ornaments!
The Martial Hall withheld the best commoner warriors and only gave us some inferior ones to cultivate. This times flood in Chengzhou, there will be more than ten million displaced warriors.
Among them, how many excellent young warriors are there, and how many warriors with families can be deployed immediately? These real powers, will Tang Zhi really distribute them equally!
Hearing these words, Tang Qi empathized and said, Yes, in my sub-clan, wherever we need military power, we need to issue tasks to the Martial Hall, and let the Steward of Martial Hall prioritize. Why is it like this? Isnt it because our own warriors are not enough. I think Cunfu makes sense. We dont want land, we want the warriors of Chengzhou. If Tang Zhi doesnt agree, well take it to the Elder Council, and impeach him!
Tang Ming looked at Tang Qi incredulously, almost doubting whether he had heard wrong: What did you say? You want to impeach the patriarch?! He has done nothing wrong or ill-advised. On what grounds are you impeaching him? Injustice towards his people is enough cause for impeachment! Tang Cunfu said coldly, Which of us, the heads of the sub-clans, are not outstanding members of our clan? We have to become self-sufficient in order to establish our own households. What help has he, the Clan Chief, provided? Now even the best opportunity to develop our clans warrior strength, he wants to monopolize. We dont need such a patriarch.
Exactly! Tang Qi nodded in agreement, Only when my sub-clans military strength is strong, can our Tang clan be strong. If Tang Zhi does not give in, this impeachment is inevitable.
Tang Ming suddenly felt weak. Originally, it was just gathering food. How did it evolve into such a situation?
The two men had already made up their minds, and their performance was just to try to pull him into their group.
Looking at Tang Cunfu and Tang Qi, who were in perfect agreement, he felt drained.
The ninth day of September
Tang Luo felt that his research had entered a wrong area.
If it was just about fusing martial techniques, then undoubtedly, he shouldnt choose those killing techniques, because most of the killing techniques of the Mortal Realm required the output of thousands of points of spiritual power.
And common moves only required a few hundred to a thousand points. Fusing common moves would be more fitting for his combat methods.
If he continued to focus on the fusion of killing techniques, even if he successfully figured it out, would he have to push out ten thousand points of spiritual power with one palm?
That would be pointless, it would be better to research escape techniques and avoid battle completely. Without such stakes, its not even worth fighting.
Theyre the ones who annoyed me! Tang Luo thought bitterly. In these past few months, they would always ask him whether there was any progress on the research of Tang Shengs methods every time he entered the Secret Arts
Pavilion.
They were all senior researchers. Didnt they know how hard it was to make progress? Ask, ask, ask, what the hell! Every time they goaded him, he would study harder, almost obsessively. But today, he suddenly realized that his research direction seemed to have some issues.
Because no matter from the aspect of difficulty or practicality, researching the fusion of common moves was definitely more cost-effective.
Everything is in chaos! Looking at the thick research manual in front of him, Tang Luo felt a headache.
This meant that he had to put aside his research of more than three months and switch to the fusion of common moves.
It took Tang Luo a whole day to neatly store the large stack of research materials in a big box, ready to restart this project as a finishing move after the successful research of the fusion of common moves.
Tang Ming, who disagreed with Tang Cunfus impeachment plan, intended to continue following the patriarchs orders to gather grain.
Even though Tang Cunfu had explained to him again and again that this grain would not be exchanged for land at all, but instead, it was planned to be sent across the sea to Chengzhou to exchange for warriors, he still didnt believe it. The patriarchs orders still need to be carried out. Isnt that the responsibility I represent as head of the sub-clan? Tang Ming responded coldly.
As a representative of the sub-clan, his duty was to oversee the people of the sub-clan and to follow the patriarchs orders faithfully, not to act contrary to his orders and think about impeachment. Tang Cunfu certainly understood the implication of these words.
If the lord is unkind, then the subjects are unjust! Tang Cunfu could only think Tang Ming was stubborn: The Tang Clan belongs to all the clansmen, not just Tang Zhi. If he is willing to openly state the purpose of gathering grain, I will certainly carry out the order with all my heart. But his instructions are vague and the task he gave is impossible to carry out. How can I explain to the clansmen?
Tang Ming shook his head in disappointment: Its not that you cant explain to the clan, you just feel that the patriarch hasnt explained to you! Tang Cunfu, he is the clan leader, we are representatives, our existence is to carry out his will, dont you understand?
Tang Cunfu sneered: Appointing such a mediocre clan leader is the Elder Councils biggest mistake. I just want to show the Elders this fact. As for me Of course, Im a representative of the sub-clan, but after impeaching Tang Zhi, how can you be sure that Im not qualified for the position of clan leader! I think youre crazy! Tang Ming said unbelievingly. He had never imagined that Tang Cunfu could be so ambitious as to aim to lead the Tang Clan.
It wasnt that Tang Cunfu wasnt outstanding enough, but after working with him for so many years, Tang Ming had a vague feeling.
He was certainly competent enough to be a sub-clan delegate nobody could find any faults. But to become the patriarch of the Tang Clan?
Just thinking about the image of him sitting in the center of the clan meeting gave Tang Ming a strong sense of discomfort.
He couldnt say what was wrong, but something just didnt feel right. If Tang Luo were here, he would tell him that this feeling was called, inadequacy of virtue!
