People are in reality, transcending the other side

Chapter 33 Dual Cultivation of Life and Life
The martial arts arena in the village is very lively at this moment. Anyone who meets the age requirement in the village, even if they are not surnamed Li, as long as they are a villager, can participate.

Even if you don't get a ranking, even if it's just a participation prize, it's worth about 3,000 yuan. In a sense, it's also the New Year's money given by the clan, but it's not given directly in cash, but in this form.

On the one hand, a group of people gathered together in a lively atmosphere, and those who went up to perform were the future of the clan, which could undoubtedly greatly enhance the cohesion of people's hearts.

Undoubtedly, everyone will grow old and die. Only when the younger generation thrives can a family and a clan have a future.

Therefore, the annual military examination within the clan attracts a lot of attention.

However, Lijia Village has a weak foundation. Even now, there are only a hundred young people between the ages of fourteen and eighteen. Twenty years ago, there were only about fifty people.

Of course, this is already a huge number for many villages that are about to become ghost villages. In some villages, there are less than a hundred people under the age of eighteen.

But compared with the several large clans near Tiannan that have existed for more than hundreds of years, a population of more than a hundred people is already small.

Those big clans would often gather together, with nearly a thousand young people and tens of thousands of clansmen. Undoubtedly, numbers mean strength, and these big clans were the local tyrants.

As for the court's policies, key positions in the local areas are all held by their own people.

But there is no way around it. Individuals are too weak to resist powerful forces and cannot weaken themselves. This is the fundamental contradiction between local and imperial power.

If you don't take some things, others will take them. If you are weak, someone will want to eat you.

Of course, at this moment, there are thousands of people gathered in the martial arts field in Lijia Village.

In the middle of the huge venue is a platform about 1.5 meters high. The platform is a five-by-five structure with a steel frame structure underneath and a wooden board nearly 20 centimeters thick on top.

These wooden boards are made of old wood that has been soaked in tung oil for several years and then painted with lacquer. Even if they are cut with a knife, only shallow marks will be left. They are also tough and will not be easily broken by people stomping on them.

There was nothing within a five-meter circle around the stage except for a huge LED display screen. Then, there were circles of chairs, extending from the outermost circle outward, with a total of several thousand seats.

This martial arts arena is extremely large, and even with so many things placed on it, it still looks empty.

Here, the more than one hundred seats in the two circles of the first two rows are reserved for the contestants, and there is no particular requirement for the seating arrangement.

Further back are the elders of the clan. The older they are, the further inside they sit, and the younger they are, the further outside they sit.

However, in addition to this place, there is also a two-story attic around the martial arts field with several chairs on it. This place is exclusively for Li Changqing, who can overlook everything below.

"It's a nice day today!"

At this time, Li Changqing had already gone up to the attic. He didn't sit down, but just leaned on the railing and looked out. Although it wasn't time for the party to start yet, it was already bustling downstairs.

Behind him, there were several people, including Li Tianxing, but no one responded.

Li Changqing muttered to himself, and then said, "Tianxing, you did a great job yesterday."

"This world is full of wolves, tigers and leopards. If you want to survive, you must stick together, resisting powerful enemies outside and uniting as brothers within. Of course, these brothers must be considered as true brothers, or fake brothers who are really wolves. If there are black sheep, they must be eliminated as soon as possible. In managing a family, the most taboo is to be soft-hearted. Soft-heartedness may seem to be about caring about family ties, but in fact, it will only make more people feel disheartened. This is the way to death!"

Li Changqing suggested. "Of course, you have to be careful here. Your uncles, while not particularly capable, have also contributed greatly. You can't indulge them, but you can't kill them all either. That would be too harsh. After the New Year, you can just let them go, leaving them with some wealth."

"That's what the old man taught me."

Li Tianxing nodded in agreement.

He has just taken charge of the group and with the old man in charge, he naturally suppresses dissidents and cultivates his confidants. If he really wants to be a kind person and do nothing, that would be a way to death.

When the old man passes away in a few years, such a huge group will surely fall apart.

Of course, his suppression was not arbitrary, but based on evidence, he followed the right path and acted uprightly.

During this period, he collected enough evidence to send some of his family members to jail to work on sewing machines for decades.

Naturally, this kind of thing cannot be hidden from the old man.

The old man even knew that those people were corrupt, but he pretended to be ignorant in order to pave the way for the new people in power.

If a new person comes to power, it will be difficult to intimidate the people below him without taking drastic measures.

"It's good that you understand. When it comes to managing a household, you must act in an upright and righteous manner. Only in this way can everyone be united. Using conspiracies and tricks at home will not last long. Of course, when dealing with outsiders, there are naturally no taboos. You can be as ruthless as you want."

"I was a little worried about my family at first, but now that Li Qi has appeared, the two of you, one civil and one military, one in charge of the family and the other holding the military force, really complement each other."

"In this world, there are always some things that cannot be achieved by clever tricks. At that time, it all comes down to hard power."

"As for later, later..."

"The fate of the universe changes, and it is beyond the control of man. No matter how glorious he is, he will become dust..."

The sun was shining brightly and Li Changqing sighed. Perhaps because he had relaxed a lot in the past few days, he became more sentimental.

……

On the other side, Li Qi had naturally sat down in the first row. He took the middle seat without hesitation. In fact, he was not the first to arrive, and the seating arrangement here was not particular, but others still instinctively sat beside him.

Undoubtedly, this is strength. If you don't have the strength, occupying this place by force will only make others feel that you are a child. But if you are strong enough, everything will happen naturally and no one will disobey you.

Li Qi also felt a little sad. He had always been on the edge before. He was weak and had small ambitions. How could he have the desire to compete?

The so-called will and courage will naturally develop when one becomes strong. On the contrary, even if one tries to raise one's fighting spirit by force, it is just what others say: one's heart is high as the sky, but one's life is fragile as paper.

Sex and life, sex and life, cultivate both sex and life. It can also be said that sex is the mind and life is strength. Only when the two are combined can things be accomplished!
Li Qi thought in his heart, and then his mind gradually calmed down. He narrowed his eyes slightly and became more and more lazy. At first glance, he looked like a big cat taking a rest, without any killing power at all.

If not, the people here had watched the video footage from a few days ago, they would have almost believed it.

This is not a big cat, it's a ferocious tiger!
