While sitting alone in the front hall, Ouyang Ye first swallowed a Ten-Full Great Replenishment Pill to nourish his body, and then "checked" two pieces of information that were poked out of the system interface in his mind.

Both information boxes are superimposed on the Domineering Value interface. It is obvious that today's Domineering Value exceeded 100 twice. Ouyang Ye recalled that it seemed that once was when he defeated Deng Kui, and the other time was when he stabbed Liang Quan to death with a knife.

"Congratulations to the host's dominance value for reaching 118 and breaking through 100, you can receive a bottle of Baiyun Jinchuangsan!"

"Congratulations to the host's dominance value for reaching 157 and exceeding 100, you can receive a hundred-refined steel knife!"

These two rewards can be seen by the name, and they are not urgently needed by Ouyang Ye. Even from the day he opened the system, there are still several days before the one-month period, so he looked at it and was not in a hurry to receive it.

Through these two scenes when the domineering value exceeded 100, he could figure out the reasons for the surge in domineering value.

The three domineering value exceeded 100 when he fought with others, but the highest time was when he lost Chang Sanshi, rather than killing Liang Quanshi with one sword. It can be seen that the domineering value increased not because he caused harm to others, but because taking action can more deterrently impact others, which increased the domineering value.

But Ouyang Ye speculated that it is unlikely that he would use beating people and killing people to obtain too high domineering value.

After all, it is a domineering value, not a killing value or damage value.

Ouyang Ye looked at the power value above again, but saw that the power value fell by 67 - he remembered that when he saw it in the morning, he was still 97, and he was about to break through 100 soon. Unexpectedly, he lost more than 30 in one day after another.

"In theory, today I will take charge of the overall situation, first defeat Deng Kui, and then kill Liang Quan, so that more brothers in the gang can return home. Could it be that...is it because some brothers who return home die?"

While Ouyang Ye was thinking about the reasons for the changes in the system's domineering value and power value, Chen Yan came in and placed a thin booklet on the table, saying: "The casualties of brothers in the gang have been recorded on it. Please check it out the young gang leader."

Ouyang Ye picked up the booklet and looked through it. He found that Brother Dong was only seriously injured, so he became aware of the casualties.

After putting down the booklet, he asked, "Uncle Chen, how did the gangs in the past pay their penalties to the injured and dead?"

"If you die, you will give some burning silver to his family. The specific amount will depend on how the person died and what the status in the gang. If you are seriously injured, you will give some An family silver. As for how much you give, it depends on the specific situation."

In the past, the Shenmu Gang was usually decided by Ouyang Hu and Chen Yanjing did it, so he was very familiar with it. At this time, he heard Ouyang Ye ask and answered it casually.

After hearing this, Ouyang Ye asked again: "After giving the money, let the family members of the deceased or the injured brothers go back to their hometown?"

When Chen Yan heard Ouyang Ye say this, he guessed Ouyang Ye’s thoughts. He couldn’t help but smile bitterly and said, “What else can I do if I don’t do this? We can’t keep our Shenmu Gang keeping them all the time, right?”

Ouyang Ye said: "Even if they can't be raised, they should be placed well so that they will not lose their food and clothing in the second half of their lives."

Chen Yan shook his head and said, "It is good for the young gang leader to have such kindness, but it is extremely difficult to do this. Not to mention that we small gangs, even when Dayu was in a prosperous era, there was no such place for soldiers who had been born and died."

"Only those famous and upright sects, who are responsible for taking care of the families of the dead disciples because they are mostly masters, and have fewer people and have abundant money, participate in the fights of the martial arts world, and even fewer people die.

"Like our Shenmu Gang, even in the most stable and unrest year, more than ten people will be killed or injured. When encountering such a major event that hurts the gang, the lower-level gang members will lose dozens or hundreds of people."

"If all the families of the deceased and disabled brothers are to be placed, and they will accumulate year by year, no matter how rich the gang members are, they will not be able to support them."

What Chen Yan said sounds quite reasonable, but Ouyang Ye has a different view.

He looked at Chen Yan and said, "Uncle Chen, if the family members of the brothers can be properly settled after their death and are not afraid of being abandoned by the gang after being disabled, will they be more attentive to the gang? Can they be less concerned about the gang and do more effort when doing things?"

Chen Yan frowned and said, "What the young gang leader said is indeed reasonable, but I said just now that we do not have the ability to place those people."

"Then find a way to have this ability!"

Ouyang Ye said this firmly, but Chen Yan didn't know how to refute it after hearing it.

Chen Yan knew that with the current situation of the Shenmu Gang, Ouyang Ye would officially succeed as the leader of the gang in about one or two days. With his determination at this time, Ouyang Hu would probably stop him for the time being, and Ouyang Ye would do it again after Ouyang Hu passed away.

Since that's the case, it's better to let the young leader give it a try. After hitting the wall, he will naturally not stick to it.

So Chen Yan spread his eyebrows, put a kind smile on his face again, and said, "Since the young leader said that, let's try it for a year first, how about?"

"Then let's settle down." Seeing that Chen Yan finally responded, Ouyang Ye also smiled.

He could guess Chen Yan's general idea, but he didn't care. If he wasn't enough to make the Shenmu Gang change enough in a year, then he would have wasted his identity as a time traveler.

Then, Ouyang Ye discussed specific aftermath and reward matters with Chen Yan. This was also the process of his further understanding of the Shenmu Gang.

In Ouyang Ye's view, gangs like Shenmu Gang are very similar to private enterprises in later generations. Hundreds of employees rely on them to make money, naturally because they have industries that can make money.

Although there is some relevant information in Ouyang Ye's memory, it is very incomplete. In the past half month, he spent basically practicing martial arts. When he met Ouyang Hu, he talked about martial arts related to martial arts and knew very little about the industry of the Shenmu Gang.

After talking to Chen Yan this time, Ouyang Ye had a general understanding of the various industries of the Shenmu Gang.

To describe it in later generations, the pillar industry of the Shenmu Gang is logging. There are several logging farms in the east and south directions of Jitangguan, some in Jitangguan Town, and some outside Jitangguan Town.

These logging farms are divided into two types: one is a legal logging process that was filed in the government, or a legal logging contracted by the government or landlord; the other is a steal logging.

In Dayu, or in the feudal era, mountains and forests were regarded as an important resource and were therefore divided up long ago. A small part of them belonged to the landlords, while all the remaining mountains and forests in the country belonged to the court, or to the emperor.

If the landlord's forest is stingy, he will not even allow nearby villagers to go to the mountain to collect firewood, or even pay rent for firewood. As for the big wood on the mountain, which can be called wood, it is regarded as an important private property. If you go to the robber without the owner's permission, you will be treated as a thief, beaten to death, or handed over to the government for investigation.

As for the wood in the mountains and forests, some landlords would ask their slaves to cut down, while others would contract out. There were several logging farms of the Shenmu Gang that were contracted from the landlords.

As for the mountains and forests of the court, when the officials were in peace and the government had a strong control over the local area, no one dared to steal the stolen lands without the government's permission.

But now the Dayu Dynasty has reached its end. The court is full of corrupt officials and corrupt scholars, and the minor officials below are also infringing on the public and private. Therefore, as long as the officials in charge are fed in advance, they will turn a blind eye to theft.

In places where the government's power is weaker, they can even ignore the minor officials in charge and steal the matter directly. They are too lazy to care about it, or they are unable to control it.

Most of the logging farms of the Shenmu Gang belong to this kind of stealing logging.

The profits obtained by stealing logging are much more than legal logging, and can even be said to be huge profits. Therefore, many people have snatched this bowl of rice to earn.

And logging is another job that requires team cooperation. Even if you don’t intend to form a gang, you will naturally be a small group.

Therefore, even if the power of the government is ignored, in order to compete with other logging gangs, considerable force is needed.
