Wang Daoyuan does not want to be the clan leader. Although the general affairs of the family are all managed by the chief elder, the clan leader does not have much to take care of. However, most of the various affairs in the family need to be decided by the clan leader himself.
From the relationship with other families to the work that each family member has to do, the clan leader must know everything.
Otherwise, if you make a wrong decision, the whole family will be unlucky.
He has practiced the Five Spirits Transformation Technique, and will need to spend a lot of time looking for the other three attributes of spiritual fire.
When you become a clan leader, you have a lot of things to do and you can't go out for a long time.
Therefore, it is best for someone else to be the leader of the clan and make his own plans.
So, after the patriarch finished speaking, he immediately said in vain: "Chief, please don't take me with you. I don't want to be the patriarch, so it's better to let Uncle Twelve be the leader.
My strength lies in searching for spiritual objects. As a clan leader, I have a lot of things waiting for me all day long. How can I search for spiritual objects?
There is another secret that I have been hiding from everyone.
In addition to being a second-level mid-level spiritual talisman master, I am also a second-level high-level alchemy master. Where can I find the time to take care of family affairs?"
As soon as these words were spoken, before others could react, the seventh uncle Wang Shouhong stood up excitedly and asked: "Is this true? Are you really a second-level top-grade alchemist?"
Wang Daoyuan smiled and did not answer, and directly took out a piece of condensed dew grass that had been harvested and stored for a long time.
Use the fire attribute spiritual power in your hand to condense a ball of flame, roast the dew grass, and extract the essence.
After dozens of breaths, the Dew Grass turned into a ball of ashes, and a clear liquid the size of a dragon's eye appeared in Wang Daoyuan's hand, which was the essence of the Dew Grass.
He smiled at Wang Shouhong and said, "Uncle Qi, do you think my skills are good? If you still don't believe me, I can make a furnace of Yuan Ning Dan with my bare hands."
Wang Shouhong smiled bitterly and shook his head: "No need, this method of extracting essence alone is not much better than me, at least he is a second-level mid-level alchemist.
In addition, he does not use an alchemy furnace and extracts the essence of elixirs with his bare hands. His level is higher, and he should be a second-level high-grade alchemist."
The other elders were laymen in alchemy and could not tell the difference. Since Wang Shouhong, the alchemist, said he was powerful, then he was really powerful.
The patriarch thought for a long time and said: "I thought that since you have made such a great contribution, when you become the patriarch, everything in the family will be handed over to you, and you can take whatever you want.
Since you don't want to be the one, then you have to take your credit seriously.
Just before I abdicate, I will make one last decision. The contributions you have made to the family, both on the surface and on the surface, will be yours. This is what should be given to you according to the clan rules.
For those that need to be kept confidential, half of the proceeds will be yours.
Whether you want it or not, the family will keep it for you. You can use it whenever you want.
You can arrange these spiritual stones however you want, even if you throw them into the river.
Also, you can't just ignore everything.
You can choose a position yourself. While I am still the clan leader, I can make you a promise that you can have any position you want."
Wang Daoyuan is very satisfied that he doesn't have to be a clan leader or be restrained.
He pondered for a long time and said: "Chief, you mentioned the issue of clan rules, so I will tell you my views on clan rules.
I just want to say that the family rules of our Wang family, including most other families, are simply terrible.
I have always wanted to reform the clan rules, but I was busy with foundation building and never had time to take care of this.
Since the patriarch has asked me to choose a position, I will choose a position that can provide reform suggestions for the family."
Uncle Jiu said: "All the families I know have similar rules. Everyone is like this."
Wang Daoyuan replied: "The biggest problem is that no one is making changes.
Nothing is perfect in this world, and so are clan rules. There are always loopholes that cannot be fixed no matter how hard you try.
And every loophole in the family rules, once discovered and exploited, will cause harm to the family.
If this loophole is not closed, the damage it causes will accumulate, causing more and more damage to the family, until it can destroy the entire family.
Only by constantly patching up the loopholes can the family survive forever.
As far as I know, there is no family in Zhao State that can surpass Wannian. There is even no Wannian family in the entire Beiyuan Immortal World.
There are very few that are over a thousand years old, and most families have disappeared within a few hundred years.
It can be said that it is an accident that one or two families are like this. All families are like this, that is, all families have made similar mistakes.
This similar mistake is the clan rule."
The clan leader nodded and said: "Since you want such a position, I will give it to you and appoint you as the Reform Elder. You will be responsible for revising the clan rules in the future.
Since Dao Yuan doesn't want to be the clan leader, then he should just keep his job.
Daoyuan, please tell me how to change it roughly. According to you, the clan rules are related to the life and death of the family, so we must know what you want to change them to."
Wang Daoyuan replied: "Since we are the top leaders of the family, we should change it from top to bottom, starting with the elders.
First of all, there is a problem with the selection of family elders.
If your cultivation reaches the peak of qi training, or if you reach the second level of one of the immortal cultivation skills, you can become an elder. There is no problem.
These people can make more contributions to the family, and there is nothing wrong with being elders.
However, those who have poor cultivation talent and are not good at cultivating immortality and various arts does not mean that they cannot make great contributions to the family.
For example, my tenth uncle has been running a shop for many years. His contribution is no less than that of everyone sitting here, or even greater.
However, he has never been able to become an elder, which is unfair to him.
Therefore, I feel that when promoting elders, we should not only look at the level of cultivation and cultivation of immortals, but also based on actual contributions.
Once you become a shopkeeper, you can also become an elder."
Everyone nodded, and it made sense.
In the hundreds of years of family history, there have been more than one person like Wang Zhihe.
They have devoted their lives to the family and made greater contributions than many elders, but they do not have the opportunity to become family elders. This is unfair to them.
Seeing everyone's agreement, Wang Daoyuan continued: "There are also changes in the duties and powers of the elders.
The current situation is that most of the family's affairs fall on the shoulders of the chief elder and clan leader.
If other elders have something to do, just send it to the chief elder.
Then, the clan leader makes the decision and the great elder executes it.
The clan leader and the chief elder are busy with their affairs, while the other elders have nothing to do.
Therefore, my suggestion is to classify family affairs.
There is an elder for each of mining, spiritual planting, alchemy, raising spiritual beasts, transportation, trading, finance, etc.
Under each elder, there are several more stewards.
Of course, this is probably the case now, but the responsibilities of elders and stewards cannot be clearly distinguished.
From now on, all aspects of daily affairs will be decided and implemented by the elders.
The great elder can directly manage the elders and affairs. If you do well, you will be rewarded by the great elder; if you do not do well, you will be punished by the great elder.
The great elder is also responsible for the appointment and dismissal of personnel. The appointment and dismissal of each managerial position is jointly decided by the great elder and the elder directly under the manager.
Major matters are decided by the clan leader and other elders through discussion. If there are major differences, the clan leader will make the final decision.
The patriarch has the highest power of appointment, removal, reward and punishment, and decision-making, and has the right to overturn the decisions of the chief elder and elders.
In this way, many things can be processed quickly and the work efficiency is much higher."
The system is adapted to the level of production, and all immortal cultivators are regarded as mortals. The production level of Beiyuan Immortal Cultivator World is very similar to that of the previous feudal monarchy era of China.
The structure proposed by Wang Daoyuan is also a simplified version of the three provinces and six departments system, with some modifications and a layer of family skin.
Each elder is equivalent to the six ministers, the great elder is equivalent to the prime minister, and the clan leader is equivalent to the emperor.
Since the number of monks in the family is limited and they cannot support a large scale, the current simplified version is enough.
Later, modifications will be made based on the actual situation of the family.
