Qianma Town.

This name also has its history.

When Changning territory was still a frontier wilderness, Anyuan was at the very edge of human habitation. The name “Anyuan” shows that it was a remote borderland.

Qianma Town, on the other hand, was an outpost established by humans relying on the stronghold of Anyuan and the strategic location of Anyuan Pass to expand into the frontier.

It is said Huangfu Hong Yu, the Old Ancestor of the Huangfu clan, was an extraordinary individual. He single-handedly established Qianma Town in the frontier, and then together with the government office and the Lei Family, they opened up Changning territory.

“Qianma”, meaning the foremost horses, was naturally the pioneer of expansion back then.

Over the past five or six hundred years, Qianma Town still carries a strong historical imprint. Behind it lies Anyuan Pass, leading to Anyuan territory. To the west is a vast Huangfu Ranch. To the south is a canyon with a castle-like fortification named Qianma Fort within it.

Qianma Fort separates Qianma Town from Changning territory, but its control is in the hands of the government office. It is within the jurisdiction of the town’s defender of Qianma Town.

This also makes sense because many important transit routes are directly administered by the government office. For example, Ping’an Town also has a town defender, and the Zhou Xuan Pass was also under the jurisdiction of the Defender’s Office of Ping’an Town.

The reason the Wang family was able to take over the management rights of the Dingpu Ferry was also because there was a Changning Ferry managed by the Government office on the other side of Peace River. As a result, the government office didn’t care much about the control of the Dingpu Ferry.

The fixed assets of Huangfu Clan in Qianma Town bought by Wang Shouzhe were valued at a total of 600,000 Qian Gold!

A low-key carriage, surrounded by the family’s retainers, passed through Qianma Fort and arrived in Qianma Town.

Qianma Town is not geographically expansive, with many hilly areas. Most of the land is not suitable for farming, so it has been planted with pasture grass as a forage base for Huangfu Ranch.

Wang Shouzhe was sitting in the carriage, sorting through some account books and ledgers, and updating his system.

The main panel still reads:

There’s no need to mention the reputation anymore. Township hope has been maxed out, the Wang family has long achieved total domination in Ping’an Town. As for County Reputation, it’s gradually accumulating and has recently experienced an “explosive growth”, reaching a level of domination. Even the Huangfu Clan that had a dispute with Wang Shouzhe and the Celestial Lei Family dare not underestimate the Wang family. Regarding Prefectural Reputation, there’s nothing that can be done about it for now. It is still considered obscure since the Wang family is only an eighth-grade family, and it has a long road ahead.

Set aside the industry for now.

The number of clan members has gradually grown to 47. Several brothers have gotten married, and wives and children are all counted under the Wang family. But it seems that the achievement of “100 clan members” is still some time away. Unless Wang Shouzhe marries an additional 53 wives! Then the achievements of “Wives Abound” and “Death from Domestic Violence” would both be accomplished.

The number of household heads has seen a significant increase, but the majority are still underage heads of the household. They are children who have been nurtured by the Wang family from a young age. When they reach the age of sixteen, they can join the family system as household heads, which will help alleviate the lack of clan members.

Moreover, the number of servants has suddenly reached nearly 300. This is not because the family has grown and expanded, requiring so many people to serve. In fact, besides being able to raise a clan general, most prominent families will also cultivate strong house servants.

These strong house servants are house servants in name but in actuality, they are the clan’s soldiers of the Wang family.

They, due to their bloodline talent not reaching Class C grade, can only cultivate some of the most basic body strengthening techniques, accumulate some sparse mysterious energy, and after many years of cultivation, they might just barely reach the first or second level.

No family would be willing to waste cultivation resources on them. After all, even a small Cultivation Pill costs ten Qian Gold, while a clan soldier’s annual expenses are only two or three Qian Gold.

This is also the reason why people like Wang Yong are called the head of household. Even though many prominent families also have a clan army besides the head of household, during the official registration with the government office, they all categorize them under house servants.

However, these completely armed clan soldiers can pose a threat to low-rank cultivators if they are well-trained and operate in groups. Moreover, a head of a household who has the support of clan’s soldiers has a significant advantage when facing opponents of the same level.

…

As for facilities like the Scripture Pavilion and so on, they are still in their infancy stage under Wang Shouzhe’s refurbishment. There isn’t much notable inside yet, apart from some basic cultivation techniques, swordsmanship, movement techniques and so forth. There are a few of low-grade and a small number of mid-grade techniques. As for the high-grade cultivation methods that Wang Shouzhe and others practise, the Wang family does not have such heritage as of now, and Wang Shouzhe and his associates cannot randomly pass it around either.
