Chapter 215 Rectification
"Next, let's focus on the family rules and family traditions!"
"First of all, there are too many Qi training elders. In the past, there were only one or two foundation-building cultivators in the family, and it was impossible for them to do everything themselves. Therefore, the ancestors established the family rule that the ninth-level Qi training cultivators are the family elders, aiming to help the head of the family manage the family!"
"However, it is a bit out of date now. Now there are nine foundation-building cultivators sitting here in the family, and there are several more on duty outside. There are nearly twenty ninth-level Qi training cultivators. As the family is promoted to a golden elixir force, the family's conditions will get better and better. In the future, there will be many ninth-level Qi training cultivators! The elders' salaries alone are a heavy burden. !”
“I still remember that when the family was in trouble, each member of the clan could only receive one pill per year, but what about now? You can get two or three pills every month. With such good conditions for repairing the chain, won’t everyone be an elder in the future?”
Wang Guangan sighed: “Things are precious because they are scarce. I think everyone understands this principle. There are too many elders. Many people are just in name only and have nothing to manage. If everyone is an elder and has the same status, you can’t manage anything!”
“Although this situation has not yet happened, there are already signs. I would like to ask all the elders present, how many of them are in charge of practical matters?”
Wang Guangan glanced around, and many people lowered their heads!
"So, I have decided that from today on, the ninth-level Qi training clan members will no longer have the status of elders. Only those who become foundation-building cultivators can become clan elders! Only with the strength of foundation-building can clan members respect you and have face in front of outsiders! This is not unique to my Wang family, but it is the same for all Jindan forces!"
Hearing his words, the faces of some of the Wang family elders present changed slightly, and then some of them showed thoughtful expressions on their faces, some showed anxious and worried expressions on their faces, and those with lower strength showed excited expressions.
After the change, although the family elders did not take care of things, their status was still higher than that of the family stewards. Sometimes they had to obey when they intervened. Now that these people have been stripped of the title of elders, their status as stewards will be greatly improved. It can be said that they are only below the head of the family and the foundation-building elders.
And the concerns of those elders are also different.
Some people were elders in their early years and grew up with the Wang family. They have done things for the family and now have real jobs. Even if they are no longer elders, their stewardship status is still there. What they lose is only their salary, and their status has not been reduced much. They will think about the pros and cons of doing so.
And those who look anxious are those who were promoted later. They themselves have little ability and no real job. They are more worried that they will lose the elder salary they have finally obtained!
"The ancestor is right. My Wang family currently has less than 300 people, but there are so many elders. It is indeed unreasonable! I agree with the ancestor's approach!" Wang Yanzhao took the lead in expressing his opinion.
Wang Hao then said: "In the early years, I presided over the family changes. In order to develop business, too many halls were established. Now it seems that some people are floating around. I also agree with the ancestor's opinion to imitate the Jindan forces and divide them again!"
In fact, Wang Guangan, Wang Yanzhao, Wang Hao, and Wang Longyou had already discussed and decided to streamline the family structure. First, they can pay less salary, and second, it is to improve efficiency.
For example, in the early years, the Wang family established a silkworm breeding hall to develop silkworm breeding and spinning, which conflicted with the original spiritual planting hall. The two halls have been arguing over the issue of one more acre or one less acre of spiritual fields.
Wang Hao established an assessment system. They all wanted to achieve the goal and get rewards. More spiritual fields means more output, and more output means better numbers. They can also take credit in front of the head of the family, which inevitably led to conflicts between them.
The actual leaders of the two families agreed, so naturally the others did not dare to have any opinions. Even if they were dissatisfied, they did not dare to be the first to speak out.
This is why Wang Guangan, a Jindan cultivator, said it. If Wang Hao had brought it up, it would have been a mess.
Wang Guangan spoke again: "Now the family has ten foundation-building monks near Qingniufang. Yan Zhao is the head of the family. Dexi took the initiative to say that he did not want to interfere in family affairs, so eight elders will be established! I will be the family's supreme elder and will not be responsible for specific affairs! The same will be true when a Jindan monk appears in the family in the future."
"Eight new halls will be established with these eight elders as the core to be responsible for the operation of family affairs!"
"Wang Longyou will be in charge of the Transmission Hall and serve as the Transmission Elder. The Transmission Hall is responsible for teaching young clan members to practice, inheriting the hundred arts of cultivation, and managing the Sutra Pavilion!"
Wang Longyou stood up and bowed: "Longyou receives the order from the supreme elder!"
"Wang Yanzhi will be in charge of business and serve as the business elder. He will be responsible for managing various industries of the family and operating various stores of the family."
" Yan Zhi receives the decree!"
"Wang Longxing is the elder of the Internal Affairs Hall, responsible for managing the clan members, distributing salaries, various assessments, statistics, etc.!"
"Longxing receives the decree!"
"Wang Yanji is the elder of General Affairs, the General Affairs Hall is responsible for issuing family commissions, counting clan members' contributions, spiritual root testing, managing mortals, etc.."
"Wang Hao is the elder of law enforcement, the Law Enforcement Hall monitors the illegal activities of the family, and all those below the elders can deal with them at their own discretion!"
"Wang Wenyuan is the elder of finance and treasury, responsible for the family's financial income and expenditure, year-end statistics, etc.! Since Wenyuan has a mission, Wang Longyou will be in charge of the finance first!"
"Wang Wencai is the elder of foreign affairs. After the family becomes a golden elixir force, there will definitely be foundation-building families coming to join them. The Foreign Affairs Hall will be responsible for managing these families and external exchanges!"
"Wang Wending is the garrison elder. He will form a patrol team to be responsible for the security of the family and the territory, including clearing out monsters and arresting criminal monks. It can be divided into two halls, the inner hall is responsible for internal affairs, and the outer hall is responsible for those affiliated families!"
Wang Guangan appointed eight elders in a row to manage eight halls! Each is responsible for a part of the family.
"Each hall can set up one or two deputy hall masters and multiple deacons according to the tasks they are responsible for, and manage various matters respectively. After all, foundation-building monks should focus on cultivation and cannot focus on managing the specific affairs of the family. The specific management is still these deputy hall masters and deacons!"
"These deacons and deputy hall masters are responsible for managing the family. The work is heavy and their cultivation will be affected. It is impossible for them to practice in seclusion at any time. Therefore, in addition to ability, personal willingness is also considered in the selection of candidates. In principle, older people with no hope of foundation building are selected!"
"Sacrificing the path for the family, the family will naturally compensate them in terms of salary and contribution. Regardless of cultivation, the salary of the deputy hall master should be half of that of the foundation-building monk, that is, It is 500 spirit stones per year, plus 200 contributions. After accumulating for 50 years, the deputy hall master can also exchange a foundation-building pill for his descendants! "
"The deacon's salary is halved again, 250 spirit stones per year, plus 100 contributions!"
"This is just the salary for the position. As a clan member, you can still receive a clan member salary. If you have free time to do some specific work, such as refining pills and making talismans, you can also get contributions. Therefore, the time you exchange for foundation-building pills will be greatly shortened! Of course, the family is in a difficult period now, and the salary of foundation-building cultivators is halved, and the deacon is naturally no exception. However, I can guarantee that in a maximum of 20 years, when the family's finances improve, the full amount will be paid!"
