366. The Oriental Family is also very lively today
The Dongfang Family was originally the royal inheritance of the Eastern Dynasty of the Second Era, so not only did their architectural style still adopt the palace-style architecture of the Second Era, but even many of their habits still adopted the style of the Second Era dynasty.
However, it has been slightly changed to improve efficiency.
For example, the Eastern Dynasty originally had six departments, which were responsible for all affairs within the territory of the dynasty.
But now the Dongfang Family is just a big family in the Xuan Realm. It does not have as much influence and control as it did in the Second Era, so naturally there will be no six branches. Therefore, it only established the Elder Pavilion, but the powers of this family organization are actually not
It is still similar to the six ministries in the old days, except that the scope of jurisdiction has changed from all domestic affairs back then to all internal affairs within the family, and is distinguished between external affairs and internal affairs.
Foreign affairs refers to external affairs, including diplomatic negotiations with other sects and families, trade and procurement, leadership of disciples who go out to train, etc.
Internal affairs refers to internal affairs, including the assessment, evaluation, selection, teaching of skills, etc. to the disciples within the clan.
Basically, the criteria for assigning foreign affairs and internal affairs are based on the practical and theoretical abilities of the elders in the clan - to put it simply, the foreign affairs elders of the Dongfang family are basically the ones who are particularly good at fighting; while the internal affairs
Most of the elders are theoretical ones who are slightly lacking in practical ability, or they have become internal elders because they were unable to perform external affairs due to injuries.
In Eastern aristocratic families, the authority of the external elders has always been more important than that of the internal elders.
As the foreign affairs elder, Dongfang Kui actually had the right to decide whether to agree to the request that Fang Qianwen mentioned before. However, when he saw the transaction list that Fang Qianwen later wrote, he broke into cold sweat, so he also
I can only submit this list back to the Elder's Pavilion, and I don't dare to make the decision myself.
In other words, he didn't want to take the blame.
At this time, a total of twelve people, including Dongfang Kui, were discussing.
Among these twelve people, apart from Dongfang Kui, there are six foreign affairs elders, the owner of the four-bedroom house and the contemporary head of the Dongfang family.
These twelve people were not in the "Jinluan Hall" where they worked in the Elder Pavilion, but in the "Imperial Study Room".
The head of the Oriental Family will not participate in the usual deliberations and arrangements of the Elder Pavilion, but they will make their own decisions.
However, if there are some matters that cannot be decided by the Elder Pavilion and are handed over to the head of the family for decision-making, all the information will be transferred to the "Royal Study Room". If the head of the family has doubts or wants to discuss matters with other elders, it will also be in the "Royal Study Room".
Negotiations were held in the "Royal Study Room", and the contents of these conversations will naturally not be made public.
"She's opening her mouth like a lion! This is totally taking advantage of the situation!"
An angry roar roared in the "Royal Study Room" at this moment.
Several other people looked at the man who roared, but remained silent.
"Okay, Third Brother, what are you yelling at?" A middle-aged man with a long beard frowned and shouted.
"What am I yelling at?" This burly man looked like a cat with explosive hair. He immediately exploded, "The person who is in trouble now is not your son? So you don't care, right? Wait for you someday.
What if something like this happens to your son? You must not be anxious then."
"Third brother!" the middle-aged man's face turned a little ugly, "What nonsense are you talking about! Did I even say half a sentence that I will not be cured?"
"Humph." The burly middle-aged man snorted coldly. "If your son hadn't been outside for so long, there would be no need to pay this extra expense!"
The middle-aged man had an angry look on his face.
But he didn't open his mouth to refute.
He is the current homeowner of the Changfang? He is in charge of all the affairs of the Changfang? It was also his recommendation to make Dongfang Che the leader this time.
It's not that the Dongfang Family has no other candidates, but when faced with visitors from Taiyi Valley, it would inevitably be a bit disrespectful to choose children from ordinary clans, so they can only choose people from the Seven Elites of the contemporary era. Except for the injured Dongfang Tao
outside?
Dongfang Xiang and Dongfang Lan are both earthly immortals? If one of them comes forward, it will appear that their Dongfang family is making a fuss. In this case, it would be easier to let a foreign affairs elder come forward.
Of course, it is inevitable that there will be some small thoughts at work here.
For example, let Dongfang Che accumulate more experience in foreign affairs. When he grows up in the future? He can then safely hand over the position of house owner to Dongfang Che. Then he can hone his position as house owner for a few years and enter the Elder Pavilion in the future.
Can he also hold the position of Foreign Affairs Elder - the Seven Outstanding Disciples of the Eastern Family? When entering the Elder Pavilion, they have always held the position of Foreign Affairs Elder. After all, they are all the most outstanding disciples.
It’s just Dongfang Che’s situation? It’s more or less different.
The middle-aged man did not want his son to become the first person to break the record, otherwise he would definitely become the laughing stock of the entire Oriental family.
But what he didn't expect was that Dongfang Che really caused him a lot of trouble.
"What's the price on the list? Our eldest brother's house will pay for one-third." The middle-aged man said in a deep voice.
"Only one-third?"
The owner of the third room? Immediately there was another burst of curses.
However, the meaning behind the words is quite obvious: if Dongfang Che hadn't messed up, there would be no need to pay this extra expense at all. Therefore, the requested supplies on the list should be borne by your eldest brother.
Listening to the burly man's words, the middle-aged man's face became more and more gloomy.
He secretly glanced at the head of the family, only to find that the head of the family who he should call Heavenly Grandfather did not open his eyes. He still had his eyes closed, and his heart sank. It was very important that his previous recommendation could be successful.
Part of the reason is because the head of the family is from the eldest family of their family, so he actually gives some preferential treatment to the eldest family member - of course, the most important thing is that Dongfang Che is really up to date in cultivation.
"At most half." He sighed, and the middle-aged man felt a little depressed.
"I'm telling you, no way!" the owner of the third room continued to sneer, "This matter is your elder brother's problem, why do you need us, the third room, to take care of it for you? There is no such good thing in the world."
"you……"
Seeing the quarrel between the two brothers, no one from the other elders, the second room, and the fourth room spoke.
Because they all know that once they speak, the long house will definitely stir up trouble and drag them down together, and then they will definitely have to share the supplies on the list equally, which is not a good thing for them.
The Dongfang Family has great influence in Dongzhou, so it naturally has many properties under its name.
But it is different from other sects and aristocratic families’ unified ownership and deployment.
The properties of the Oriental Family have always been managed in a divided manner - each of the four houses owns a share of the property, and the Elder Pavilion also owns a share.
Basically, the Dongfang Family will not provide any resources to the fourth house and the elders of the clan, but will be completely self-sufficient - the so-called management of all affairs of each house by the owner of the fourth house naturally includes the management of these industries.
, be responsible for losses.
The reason why the eldest family and the second family have been strong in the past few years is that they are "proper in business", manage their respective industries in an orderly manner, and are able to harvest a large amount of resources every year.
Similarly, all the income of the Elder's Pavilion is obtained from the properties managed by their Elder's Pavilion - as long as the owner resigns and transfers to the Elder's Pavilion, the income of each house has nothing to do with them, and their income expenses can only be derived from
Withdrawals can be made at Elder Pavilion.
If the Elder Pavilion or any other house is not managed well, the consequences will be very serious.
So at this time, no matter whether it is the Elder Pavilion or the second or fourth bedroom, they will naturally not speak up to help. After all, no one wants to be a good person. Although the list issued by Fang Qianwen is quite expensive, it is very well-measured.
It would only make the Dongfang Family feel heartbroken, but it would not cause them to fall out with the people in Taiyi Valley.
However, Fang Qianwen did not know the internal situation of Dongfang Family - if the supplies on this price increase list were shared among the four houses, it would not be difficult to accept, but if one of the houses paid for it entirely, then it would not be acceptable.
It's so easy to break your muscles and bones.
At this time, the quarrel between the eldest brother and the third brother had gradually heated up.
The chief was only willing to provide half of the resources required on the list, but the third house firmly disagreed.
"Okay."
Finally, the current head of the Dongfang Family, Dongfang Haowen, who had been keeping his eyes closed and silent, finally couldn't help but speak.
"The chief room is responsible for half of the supplies, the third room is responsible for a quarter, and I will be responsible for the remaining quarter."
The head of the Dongfang family is not without any benefits.
He is not involved in any property management of the Oriental Family and only needs to distribute dividends once a year - 5% of the annual income from the Fourth House and Elder Pavilion needs to be handed over to Dongfang Hao, the current head of the Oriental Family.
But this wealth does not belong to the head of the Dongfang Family, but to all successive heads of the Dongfang Family in the past generations.
In other words, whoever becomes the clan leader has the right to use this resource.
Of course, in order to avoid excessive squandering and waste, there are naturally some limitations.
"Why!" Sanfang was still dissatisfied.
"Even if Fang Qianwen didn't use Dongfang Che's incident to speak out, she would have caused it through other problems." Dongfang Hao said in a deep voice, "This material covers a wide range and is of high value. It cannot be purchased by just one person.
...You have to think clearly. If you refuse at this time and continue arguing for a few more days, if Fang Qianwen asks for a price increase for the second time, it will really be borne by your three bedrooms.
"
Hearing this, the owner of the third room could only nod in agreement no matter how unwilling he was.
Once Fang Qianwen's request for a price increase came to an end, and there was no need to continue wrangling, the Oriental Aristocratic Family immediately showed the depth and strength that a noble family should have, and dispatched all the required materials in a matter of seconds.
Dongfang Kui will still be responsible for the subsequent transfer work - this time, Dongfang Kui will still be fully responsible for receiving guests from Taiyi Valley.
Of course, Dongfang Kui is actually not very happy, but he can't resist the reward offered by Elder Pavilion. It's probably because they know that it is too troublesome to receive visitors from Taiyi Valley. At this time,
If you change people again and have to adapt to the rhythm of dealing with Fang Qianwen, it is better to continue to be in charge of Dongfang Kui, after all, he already has experience.
"By the way, where is Su Anran?" After dealing with Fang Qianwen's request for a price increase, Dongfang Hao turned to ask about another Taiyi Valley disciple, "You didn't take him to the library, then who is responsible for this matter?"
Responsible?"
"Dongfang Shuang." Dongfang Kui said.
"A Shuang?" The face of the owner of the second room changed slightly and he seemed a little anxious. "She is indifferent and not good at words. How can she be responsible for this matter?"
The owner of the second room cannot be in a hurry!
Among the many disciples in Taiyi Valley, the most famous ones are naturally Shangguan Xin, Tang Shiyun, Ye Jinxuan, Wang Yuanji, Song Nana and others. The Xuanjie gave these five people a nickname, the Troublemaker Five, which means who is entangled by them.
Who to fuck
It's going to be a big misfortune. Especially the top four, that's a quartet of people who can defeat your whole family - although Song Nana is not that cruel, but for those big sects, she would rather fight with the top four than anything else.
I wish I could be contaminated by Song Nana’s karma.
After all, Shark Your Family Four-man Bucket only targets his disciples. At most, the team that goes out for training will be wiped out.
But if he is tainted with Song Nana's cause and effect, it will directly affect the fate of the sect in every minute. Who can bear it?
Apart from these five people, Lin Yiyi is not an easy guy to get along with.
The Oriental Family is more on guard against Lin Yiyi than the trouble-making five.
In the past ten years, Taiyi Valley's new disciple Su Anran has also become famous. Regarding his destruction of the secret realm, the Dongfang Family can collect at least hundreds of different versions of the story. But in short, it can be said in one sentence: Su Anran's popularity
It is definitely not inferior to his five senior sisters, especially as he is a "natural disaster" and is compared to a "man-made disaster" by Wanshilou. For some sects and aristocratic families, its threat level is hardly lower than that of Song Nana.
Especially...
He had dealt with all the blood relatives of the three demon saints, and as a result, except for Luona, who is said to be still in seclusion, the remaining two "died" - Ao Wei died in the transformation ceremony to resurrect the mirage demon saint; Qingyu
Then died in the Tianyuan Secret Realm. Although she now appears next to Fang Qianwen, confirming that her resurrection is not a rumor, but at this time she is already a spiritual beast, not a monster. There is a big difference.
of.
There is also a bit of the ethereal spirit of the Cang clan.
It is said that they met for the first time in the sword trial building, and ended up being accepted as a swordsman by Su Anran, and he was willing to follow Su Anran.
This matter is not a secret. Although it has not spread throughout the Xuanjie, the Dongfang Family, as one of the nineteen sects, still has some sources of information, but most of the time it is difficult to distinguish the true from the false. But this ethereal spirit is really following Su Anran now.
We came to the Dongfang Family together, and they looked like swordsmen. If this is still a rumor, then the Dongfang Family is really blind.
From these basic situations, it is not difficult for the Dongfang Family to conclude that any female monk who comes into contact with Su Anran will probably be conquered by her personality charm, and then break away from the control of the original sect, ethnic group, and family.
Dongfang Shuang, one of the seven contemporary heroes of their Dongfang family, if she was abducted by Su Anran...
The owner of the second room couldn't help but tremble when he thought of this possibility: "How can you let her be responsible for receiving Su Anran!"
"She requested this herself." Dongfang Kui also felt aggrieved.
"A-Shuang asked for it himself?" The owner of the second room buzzed in his mind as if he had been hit hard, "It's over, it's over... It's all Dongfang Che's fault for staying outside for so long, allowing Shuang'er to spend too long with Su.
An Ran was contacted!"
The head of the house also looked aggrieved at this time.
What day is today?
I just finished arguing with the third bedroom, now I have to argue with your second bedroom?
In the imperial study room, there was chaos again in an instant.
