Dahan: A 100-year-old veteran, I will build the strongest family

Chapter 12 Invisible pressure hangs over every descendant of the Li family
Inside the hall, all the Li family members became agitated when they heard Li Hong's words that he was going to set up an arena, invite brave men from all over the world, and recruit them.

Young people like Li Li were immediately excited, as if they were seeing the grand occasion of all the best fighters in the world coming to their house to compete.

Then, they were recruited with generous conditions, and more and more powerful generals began to appear in the Li family.

They didn't care much about the monthly salary of 500 coins, 2,000 coins, the house in Luoyang, and the three wives and concubines that the Li family could help introduce to them. The Li family just had a lot of money, and for the development of the family, it was just a drop in the bucket.

Young people like Li Li became interested.

However, the older people including Li Wen, Li Wu, Li Ding, etc. began to frown and think about the feasibility of what Li Hong said. After all, it was a family affair.

Li Wen quickly bowed to Li Hong, frowned and said:

"Father, this matter may be very risky."

"Even if our Li family spends a lot of money and can recruit some brave men, it can increase the power of the Li family in a short period of time, and even produce a few generals. However, outsiders are always outsiders. They are destined not to be on the same side as the Li family. These outsiders may even rely on their own strength to rob the Li family. This move may be like inviting a wolf into the house."

Li Wen advised Li Hong with concern.

The older people, such as Li Wu and Li Ding, also spoke up to persuade Li Hong.

As Li Wen, Li Wu and Li Ding spoke out about the risks of this plan to expand the family, the younger generation including Li Li, who had been excited just now, were immediately stunned and began to become anxious.

Li Hong, who was sitting in the main seat, stroked his beard with satisfaction.

Although his descendants were not very talented, they were not stupid, which made him very happy.

"You can imagine this. I thought of it sixty years ago. And I wanted to do it sixty years ago. If I really wanted to recruit military commanders like Zhang Wen, Zhu Jun, and Lu Zhi, I would have brought them to the Li family and made them guests of the Li family."

"However, sixty years ago, I did not do this because I knew that the Li family did not have the ability to keep these people."

Li Hong had a meaningful expression on his face and said:

"But now the situation is different. I feel the time has come. You will know why later."

"This move can quickly expand the family's power. I want to let those noble families see that my Li family is not easy to bully."

"Besides, having these outsiders join the Li family can also give you some pressure and motivation. I think your conditions are too comfortable, you are all lazy and don't know how to work hard."

"It's settled. You mobilize the Li family's shops in various places, contact the families that have friendly relations with the Li family, and vigorously publicize this matter. If any hero is confirmed to come to Luoyang to participate in the arena competition, the Li family will reimburse the travel, accommodation, and food expenses."

Li Hong's deep voice resounded throughout the hall. He made the decision directly without giving Li Wen, Li Wu and others too much time to waste.

He had indeed considered this matter sixty years ago.

However, he was just a second-rate military general back then, and he could only control the world's heroes through peace talks.

However, now, Li Hong has reached the pinnacle of the world's best martial arts. If anyone dares to disobey, he, Li Hong, will beat him to pieces. Now, Li Hong has the ability to suppress them.

The Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty was full of brilliant stars, including Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Guan Yu, Huang Zhong, Xu Huang, Taishi Ci... there are too many of them.

Since they rose from a military family, it was obvious that Li Hong alone could not succeed. A hero has three pillars, and there is power in numbers. If Li Hong could take 30% of the world's military generals, it would be enough to accomplish great things.

In another ten or twenty years, Li Hong's outstanding and excellent descendants will be grown up.

A person from an outsider, wanting to retaliate against the Li family?

What a joke!
Moreover, he held a martial arts competition in Luoyang, inviting brave men from all over the world. Li Hong once again demonstrated his strength as a peerless martial artist and brought out his protective shield.

It is conceivable that Li Jiading could completely shake the city of Luoyang.

It would be natural for Li Hong to return to officialdom at that time.

Holding a martial arts competition, inviting brave men from all over the world, recruiting heroes from the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms, and enhancing the reputation of the Li family in one fell swoop, has many benefits.

Inside the hall, Li Wen, Li Wu and others were all frowning, not understanding how Li Hong had the confidence to be able to resolve the thorny issue of making outsiders submit to their Li family.

"What? Are my words no longer effective? Are you guys not going to listen to me anymore?"

Suddenly, Li Hong slammed the table, puffed his beard and glared, and said, "Since father has a proper solution, let's do it."

Although Li Wen was conflicted, Li Hong said that he had already considered the thorny issue. In the end, he did not dare to resist Li Hong's decision and agreed.

"Well, do it immediately. The martial arts competition will officially begin in Luoyang within two months. Hurry up. If no one is there by then, I will not agree."

Li Hong snorted and said, but he didn't think about explaining to his descendants that he was already a peerless military general.

He has his own pride; he is the boss after all.

And it's time to put some pressure on these people.

Li Hong couldn't help but look at Li Li, the eldest of the fourth generation, and felt a little unhappy.

One-star martial arts aptitude, although not very good.

But he can also work hard in the army, and maybe even with good luck, he can carve out a place for himself. After all, we are now in the midst of a chaotic world.

Relying on your own efforts is the right way.

However, this kid thinks about the life of a dandy, fighting crickets, and visiting brothels every day, but the pressure is too little.

When Li Li saw his great-grandfather Li Hong glaring at him, his body trembled and he quickly sat up straight.

After the meeting ended that day, Li Hong went to the backyard. He was going to continue studying Tai Chi and its accompanying breathing methods.

He wanted to leave a set of longevity and health-preserving boxing techniques for the Li family.

Moreover, you cannot just sit there and do nothing while making babies, you have to continue making babies.

There are three more pregnancies in the backyard now, and it will take some time for them to give birth.

Just after Li Hong left.

Li Wen, Li Wu and other elders of the Li family did not disperse, but discussed and summarized the impact of Li Hong's decision on the family.

The final conclusion is that no matter what method Li Hong uses to solve the thorny issue of whether outsiders can become loyal to the Li family, the children of the Li family cannot be lazy, but must cheer up and work hard to learn literature and martial arts.

Otherwise, if a large number of outstanding people from other families entered the Li family, even if it helped the Li family to become stronger, however, if the Li family's own children were not prominent in the future, the Li family might be regarded as a joke in Luoyang.

An invisible sense of tension and pressure hangs over every descendant of the Li family.

Li Wen, Li Wu, Li Ding and others did not dare to disobey Li Hong's decision, and the Li family's decision was executed on the same day.

With the Li family store as the core, the Han families from all over the country who cooperated with the Li family made joint efforts.

The Li family plans to hold a martial arts competition in two months, inviting all those who consider themselves brave and courageous to participate.

Great rewards!

If you can beat ten strong men, you can join the Li family as a household general, with a monthly salary of 500 coins, a house in Luoyang, and the chance to introduce a wife or concubine to you!
Those who can beat more than 20 strong men can become the guest of Li family, and be taught the longevity boxing to prolong life. They will receive a monthly salary of 2,000 coins, a house in Luoyang, and the Li family will help introduce three wives and concubines to them! !

For those who come to Luoyang to participate in the martial arts competition, the Li family will reimburse the travel, accommodation, and food expenses!!!

The news first spread to Luoyang City, where everyone from the noble families to the common people were shocked.

I was shocked by the decision made by the Li family. I was even more shocked by the generous conditions offered by the Li family that could make people rich overnight.

The Li family’s personal connections and resources began to take effect.

With Luoyang as the center, the explosive news quickly spread to Yingchuan, Nanyang, Chenliu, Hedong, Julu, Changshan, Zhuojun...
