In Ye Chen's eyes, these side families are second-class citizens compared to the main family.
In addition, they have a dark history of being ungrateful, so in the future, it will be even less possible for me to treat them as human beings.
Letting two young descendants from each family come to the Ye family to serve as servants is to let them know that their own mission is to serve the main family.
When more than 700 members of the Ye family heard this, they were filled with complaints, but with the Ye Tao family's lessons learned, no one dared to say even a word of "no" at this time.
Seeing that no one dared to object, Ye Chen said, "Since you all have no objections, then this matter is settled."
After that, he took the roster for the ancestor worship ceremony and said: "This contains information about each branch of the Ye family, as well as the list of representatives who came to Yanjing to participate in the ancestor worship ceremony. Within a week,
All families must submit information on the selected young descendants. As for the selection criteria, I have very high requirements, so please listen to me."
Everyone looked at Ye Chen with bated breath, not knowing how harsh the request he would make.
Ye Chen cleared his throat and said coldly: "First, it must be a direct relative of the Ye family. None of you should think about bringing an outsider or relative to fool me. The person who comes must have a surname of Ye, and must be
The legitimate sons and grandsons of each of your families!"
No one dared to speak, so they could only nod in agreement.
Ye Chen added: "Second, it must be a college degree or above;"
"Third, the age range is between 22 and 35 years old. Anyone over 35 years old will not be accepted! And all female dependents cannot be sent. There must be at least one male among two people in each family."
Some people's expressions changed slightly.
When they first heard that they were going to send someone over to the head of the family, they thought they could just take photos of the two girls. After all, they all valued boys over girls and usually wanted to train boys to be their successors. How could they be willing to sacrifice their own family members?
The children and grandchildren were sent here to serve as current people.
But as soon as Ye Chen said these words, everyone in the group felt very uncomfortable.
Some families with more boys are fine, but those with fewer boys can be depressing.
There are only two or three young grandchildren in total. Those who meet the educational and age requirements are either continuing to study for master's or doctorate degrees, or have already received experience in their positions. At this time, they are transferred to the Ye family as servants. From a practical point of view,
It is difficult for them to accept it from a psychological point of view.
At this time, Ye Chen continued: "Fourth, all those who come to serve in the master's house will rotate every two years. After the two-year period is over, they can leave the master's house and return to their own homes, but you must send the next batch of people three months in advance.
Send it here, and at the same time carry out work handover with the previous group of people to ensure that all positions can be seamlessly connected, otherwise if something goes wrong, you are the only one to ask."
When everyone heard this, their expressions were much more bitter than bitter gourds.
In their opinion, Ye Chen's requirements for them were already extremely harsh.
Moreover, behind this, there is a faint feeling of ancient protons.
Just like every vassal king must send one of his sons to the capital as a hostage.
When they think about this aspect, it becomes even more difficult for them to accept it.
However, there is nothing I can do about it if it is hard to accept.
What Ye Chen is playing with them now is power politics at the diplomatic level.
It not only requires economic sanctions, but also threatens and strikes with force, and even controls its internal affairs.
Not to mention the economic sanctions, there are only a few families here who basically no longer rely on the Ye family like the Ye Tao family. Most other families rely on the Ye family for support in their business.
