The Elder Man murmured, "Shouzhe's idea is not bad to my knowledge, the closer to the Guard City of Longzuo County, the more united the families become. There exist two reasons for this. These Guard Cities have a longer history, resulting in closer family relationships. Secondly, there must have been someone within the related families who can balance everything and harmonize all contradictions. Shouzhe appears to be very qualified with regards to the latter reason."
The Elder Mingsheng remarked, "The Elder Man missed one point. Each family will inevitably have self-interest, unwilling to leak family property. If every family unit, a common industry must exist and mutual benefits should be shared. If otherwise, the so-called deep alliance would merely be an illusion, breaking at a mere touch."
