Qingshi Town was not large.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the feud between the Zhao Family and Luo Ping had long existed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, it was not long after the Luo Family took action,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>that this news began to spread wildly throughout the entire Qingshi Town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost everyone became aware of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Luo Family had dealt with all the people of the Zhao Family who were near that premium Qing stone mining vein.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Similarly, because of such an incident,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>countless families coveting the Luo Family’s wealth were forced to restore their initial sanity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It must be said that the Luo Family’s current situation was not great.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three brothers of the Luo Family were also not in unanimous agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But regardless, the Luo Family was, after all, the Luo Family, still one of the four strongest families in Qingshi Town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though the Luo Family’s strength had suffered some damage in recent days,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the foundation of the Luo Family still existed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Luo Family, one of the four big families, was not a presence that any Tom, Dick, or Harry could trample upon at will.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the Luo Family brandished its slaughter knife and intimidated the various family forces within Qingshi Town,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>life for the Luo Family in Qingshi Town\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>also became much more stable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this peaceful period did not last long before\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>another troublesome matter\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>suddenly came knocking on the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike before, most of the previous troubles were aimed solely at the Luo Family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this time, the trouble concerned every major family force within Qingshi Town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qingshi Town, Luo Family Ancestral Land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the room of the Luo Family Patriarch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Ping, the current Family Head of the Luo Family, was at this moment looking at a letter in his hands with some distress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The letter had come from the apparent ruler of Qingshi Town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its general content stated that the number of refugees in Qingshi Town was increasing, as were the numbers of bandits claiming mountains as their own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The officials of Qingshi Town were struggling to maintain peace within the town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were also having difficulty controlling the bandit problem near Qingshi Town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, the boss of the Qingshi Town officials issued an order.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was… to donate money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, this time, the donation was mandatory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All family forces had to contribute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Qingshi Town, the four big families naturally had to contribute the most.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The various smaller family forces below had to do the best they could.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You could donate less, or even not at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there was a premise here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was that your family force genuinely didn’t have much money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the Qingshi Town officials found out\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>that your family had an abundance of gold and silver but was unwilling to donate,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>then the result could be easily imagined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Charges of embezzlement, execution, or collusion with bandits would be directly pinned on you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of your family’s wealth would then belong to the officials of Qingshi Town, wouldn’t it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for resistance?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sadly, although the Da Feng Dynasty had experienced several years of severe drought,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>countless people either rose in revolt or turned to banditry,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>most of these were minor disturbances, and the foundation of the Da Feng Dynasty was still there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one dared to be the early bird carelessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the officials in Qingshi Town discovered someone wanted to resist,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>they would act before the court of the Da Feng Dynasty even had a chance to respond.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The local forces would swiftly mobilize and press you down directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eradicating those who dare to rebel against the Da Feng Dynasty’s official authority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For those people, this is considered a great feat!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surely, no one in this world would complain about having too many merits, would they?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chuan’er, you’re here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come quickly and help me see, our Luo Family…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How much should we donate to be appropriate?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the room, Luo Ping, who was agonizing over the amount to donate, saw his son Luo Chuan suddenly appear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes lit up immediately, and he walked toward Luo Chuan with the letter in hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Donating money?” Luo Chuan’s brow furrowed slightly, showing a trace of confusion on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, as soon as he took the letter stamped with the official seal from his father’s hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, he understood everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All those excuses about not being able to maintain peace within Qingshi Town, or suppress the bandits nearby,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>were just that: excuses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the officials from Qingshi Town simply wanted to use these pretexts to extort a fortune.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To madly, massively loot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The major clan powers within Qingshi Town, however, could not resist this moneymaking scheme from the town’s officials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, with one false move, you could be branded as colluding with bandits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Accused of attempting to overthrow the rule of the Da Feng Dynasty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under such circumstances, how could the major clan powers in Qingshi Town dare to easily defy the officials’ intent to solicit donations?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the amount of the donation…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It indeed required his careful consideration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Father…” Suddenly, Luo Chuan raised his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at his father Luo Ping, who was silently waiting at his side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What is it? Chuan’er, have you thought of how much we should donate?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, I was just wondering if you knew the donation amounts from the other three families besides ours?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The other three families?” After pondering for a moment, Luo Ping said in a low voice, “I might not know about the Zhao and Hu families, but I do know about the Jing family.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Father, how much does the Jing family plan to donate?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“According to the people from the Jing family, they plan to donate 30,000 taels of gold and 100,000 taels of silver.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With those words, the two in the room fell into a silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>30,000 taels of gold and 100,000 taels of silver was no small sum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even for the Luo Family, with that vein of top-quality Qingshi stretching over three hundred meters,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>earning that figure was not an easy task.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Jing Family was indeed quite generous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Father, if that is the case, then our Luo Family will also donate 30,000 taels of gold and 100,000 taels of silver.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chuan handed the letter back to his father.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterward, he calmly uttered those words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chuan’er, are you sure?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If this amount of cash is directly given away, for our Luo Family… it’s no different from cutting our own flesh!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This would truly deal a major blow to our vitality!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Ping appeared somewhat hesitant and looked to be quite reluctant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Father, do you think it’s better to bleed ourselves, sustaining a great loss of vitality,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Or… to have our entire clan exterminated?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chuan looked at his father, the Family Patriarch, with such a calm expression that it caused Luo Ping to feel some trepidation and unease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Father, please think carefully,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“From the very beginning, our Luo Family had no choice in this matter.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Donating is a must.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And since we must donate, we cannot give much less than the other three families.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Although these troubled times have indeed arrived as expected,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“the Da Feng Dynasty has not yet fallen.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In this period, being a conspicuous figure attracting countless people’s attention is not a good choice…”\u003C\u002Fp>",1218,"2026-06-03T12:43:46.723Z","2026-06-03T12:43:39.762Z",1,"novelbin.me","f564564045884d71e91b8b8d9aee957fde81bffa1dc140cbe850dd7f4948e14e","immortality-cultivation-i-can-increase-my-stats--chapter-440","immortality-cultivation-i-can-increase-my-stats--chapter-439",2094,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fimmortality-cultivation-i-can-increase-my-stats--cover.jpg"]
