Chapter 282

Chihu mountain, the newly built conference hall of the Zhou family.

The general style of this newly built conference hall of the Zhou family is not different from that on Yuquan peak, but the space inside is wider enough to accommodate thousands of people.

At the same time, the decoration in the conference hall is also exquisite. There are not only more than 20 jade lamps refined by friars of the Zhou family with light jade, but also hundreds of "Qingxin futons" on the ground.

This "heart clearing Futon" is a commonly used auxiliary magic tool for low-level immortals to meditate and practice daily. It is woven from "concentration grass" and has the function of clearing heart and concentration. Naturally, the friars of the Zhou family who want to participate in the discussion can calm down and think calmly.

However, there are so many futons here today, which must be dissatisfied, because the people participating in the family meeting are the real elites of the Zhou family. Except for those who are unable to leave with heavy responsibilities, there are only less than 40.

"The purpose of calling all the people here today is to hold a small family meeting to discuss some important matters."

"I also know that all the people here are busy with family affairs and time is tight, so I won't listen to you to report those family affairs today. I will directly explain the things to be discussed."

In the conference hall, Zhou Yang sat on a cold jade bed at the top, glanced at dozens of Zhou friars sitting in the first set, and opened his mouth to go straight to the theme.

"First of all, since my Zhou family has been promoted to the purple family, some outdated rules of the family need to be changed. Yes, I mean about the automatic promotion of the people to the family elder after they are promoted to the ninth floor of Qi practice!"

"The second thing is that our Zhou family now has a growing number of monks and faces more and more things. The original regulation of the hall of Commons in charge of the affairs of the whole family is outdated and needs to be changed."

"The fourth thing, as the family grows larger and larger, the number of families is increasing, and some bad signs have begun to show. Today, I call you here to check and correct yourself first, and then inquire and guide other people after you go back, so as to establish a clean and bright family style of integrity, kindness, diligence, thrift and honesty for my Zhou family!"

He finished what he wanted to say one by one, and then shut up and waited for the friars of the Zhou family to carefully aftertaste the meaning of what he said.

In this way, after nearly two quarters of an hour, he looked at the people and said, "now let's talk about the first thing. You know the situation of this matter. As the family conditions get better and better, it is easier for the family friars to be promoted to the ninth floor of Qi practice than before. As a result, there are as many as 22 elders of the ninth floor of Qi practice in the family, and it is expected that there will be only a lot more in the future."

"I don't want to talk about what the ancestors thought when they formulated the system that they could be promoted to family elders by practicing Qi on the ninth floor. I just want to tell you that if this system does not change, with the increasing number of elders, the status of family elders in the hearts of the people will be lower and lower in the eyes of outsiders."

"If you, as elders of the Zhou family, can't get the respect you deserve in front of outsiders, how can you make people respect the Zhou family? Fear the Zhou family? "

Hearing this, the old faces of some Zhou parents present changed slightly, and then some looked thoughtful, while others looked anxious, but no one dared to say anything immediately.

It is obvious that those who show a thoughtful look are those who have been promoted to family elders for more than ten or twenty years.

When these people were promoted to family elders, there were only a few elders of the Zhou family. They really understood the difference between the meaning represented by family elders at that time and that represented by family elders now.

Most of those who show anxiety and anxiety are those who have been promoted to family elders in recent ten years. These people are not easy to be promoted to family elders and enjoy the benefits of elders they envy before. Naturally, they are worried that Zhou Yang's proposal to reform the rules for the appointment of family elders at this time will weaken their welfare treatment.

These people did not dare to say anything, but they all looked at the white haired old woman sitting in the first row in front of many foundation building friars.

The white haired old woman is Zhou Yuanchun, the current elder of the Zhou family.

As the great elder of the Zhou family and the great granddaughter of the old patriarch Zhou Minghan, Zhou Yuanchun is indeed qualified to sit in the same row with those foundation builders.

After feeling the eyes of the descendants behind him, Zhou Yuanchun, who was 118 years old, immediately got up and arched his hands towards Zhou Yang, and said in a hoarse voice, "we all know what you said, patriarch. You'd better talk about your opinions and ideas directly!"

"Sixth sister, you are old. You'd better sit down and talk."

Zhou Yang looked at the white haired family sister who had not lived for two years. Her mood was also a little complicated.

After the death of the old patriarch Zhou Minghan, most of his inheritance was given to the granddaughter, with the exception of one thing, that is, his accumulated family contribution.

Originally, Zhou Minghan had at least 30000 family contribution points, but before his death, he destroyed all these family contribution points and left none at all.

Zhou Yang understood the reason why Zhou Minghan did this, that is, he didn't want Zhou Yuanchun to exchange the building foundation pill for her two inferior Linggen sons after getting this huge contribution point.

So when Zhou Yuanchun took the magic tools and spirit stones left by the old patriarch Zhou Minghan a few years ago and wanted to exchange him and his father Zhou Xuanhao for family contributions, he and Zhou Xuanhao refused.

Because of this, the relationship between Zhou Yuanchun and them suddenly gave birth to a lot. I think there is some resentment against them in his heart.

Nevertheless, Zhou Yang did not think his father and son had done wrong.

With limited resources, it is impossible for the Zhou family to waste their precious foundation Dan on the two ordinary sons of Zhou Yuanchun.

In fact, Zhou Yang is willing to give her a chance whenever her two sons can show other superhuman talents outside the spiritual root.

It's a pity that her two sons don't have such talent. They are also a little spoiled and arrogant. How can Zhou Yang be willing to waste his precious foundation Dan on such an unbearable person?

"My opinion is very simple. In the future, family friars can be promoted to the supreme elder only when they reach the purple mansion period, and those who succeed in building the foundation can be promoted to the family elder."

"Of course, friars in the foundation period should focus on cultivation behavior and should not focus on specific family management. Therefore, the family should also select some people with excellent relevant abilities among the nine layer friars practicing Qi and grant them the position of Deacon elder to be responsible for the management of all family affairs."

"The number of Deacon elders is fixed at seven. They are divided into merit transmission elders, internal affairs elders, common affairs elders, financial elders, law enforcement elders, public security elders, foreign affairs elders, and each elder is responsible for one aspect of family affairs management."

"If Bi manages the Sutra cave, tests the spiritual roots for the people, and teaches the people with spiritual roots to practice, the preaching elder is responsible for it; The internal affairs elder is responsible for reviewing and assessing the personnel rise and fall of the family, counting the number of family friars and mortals, the state of friars' accomplishments and the state of immortality; The common affairs elder is responsible for handling the report application submitted by the family friars, and is responsible for publishing all kinds of family entrusted tasks and private entrusted tasks. "

"The financial elder is responsible for reviewing and counting the income and expenditure of family property, managing and operating all family industries; Of course, the law enforcement elders are responsible for the implementation and supervision of family rules and laws; The security elders are naturally responsible for maintaining security in the family territory, including removing monsters and catching offending friars; The foreign affairs elder is mainly responsible for foreign exchange and trade and introducing excellent talents for the family. "

"These seven deacon elders have the same status as the family foundation building friars. All ethnic groups must salute when they see the elders in public. The welfare offerings they receive each year should be raised to 300 contribution points!"

Zhou Yang looked at the Zhou family friars present and spoke out his thoughts for a long time in a deep voice.

For a moment, the whole hall was quiet.

"Seven, seven elders! Is it too small? Patriarch, we all know what you mean to improve the efficiency of the family, but the number of seven elders is too small, isn't it? If an elder has something to shut down or has an accident, we don't even have a replacement for him! "

It was not Zhou Yuanchun who broke the silence and said this, but Zhou Yuanpeng, Zhou Yang's younger brother.

Zhou Yuanpeng ranks 10th among his peers and is two years younger than Zhou Yang. According to the 120 year old life span of the friar during the Qi training period, he can still live for about ten years.

Moreover, because he had made great contributions to the discovery of a new mortal food crop "white sand taro", he had been rewarded by the family for his special contribution, and he also had a lot of prestige among the elders of the Zhou family.

"Ten younger brothers, I naturally think about what you said, so I also want to say that since you want to get rich family benefits and a superior position, you naturally have to sacrifice."

"Therefore, once you are an elder of the family, don't think about making further progress on your way. You can't do such a thing unless you are closed to recover from injury!"

"As for the replacement, it has something to do with the second thing I want to say!"

Zhou Yang nodded and said, glancing at the parents of Zhou who looked uncertain, and then said:

"The second thing is that I want to set up seven management organizations in the family, including Chuangong hall, internal affairs hall, common affairs hall, punishment hall, finance hall, public security hall and foreign affairs hall. The leader of each organization is a corresponding elder, and one or two deputy hall leaders are set up to assist the leader in handling the affairs of the hall."

"These seven churches are directly responsible to the patriarch and the Presbyterian Council. The quota number and personnel recruitment review of each church finally need the patriarch's signature for confirmation!"

"Even if you can't become elders, you can compete for the position of deputy hall leader or deacon in the hall. As long as you can join these seven halls, you can get a certain amount of position subsidies to ensure that you can continue to receive family welfare offerings even after you are over 60!"
