Daqizong

Tiangongfang was founded by Xiao Henggong, and all the brothers and friends of Daoist disciples follow Yiyi, and it has developed into a Qidao force jointly controlled by many families such as the Xiao family, the Gu family, the Rong family, the Yan family, the public loser, the Mo family, and the Yun family. .

The system is co-governance by the elders. According to the share of each family in the workshop, the children of each family are elected as elders, stewards, and jointly govern.

This is the same as the co-governance of the elders of the sect and the discussion of the affairs of the elders of the family. It is a method of collecting the best of all the heads and brainstorming. .

For example, in Tiangongfang, all the clansmen who own shares in the workshop, have many disciples and children, and actually control the power are called elders. Only elders are eligible to participate in such important decisions, and their status is higher than that of ordinary people. Elders are more noble.

Elders can be elders, but elders are not necessarily elders. The difference between them is that elders value authority, while elders value shares.

Li Wan could also become the elder of Tiangongfang, the reason is that the three workshops given as a dowry are equivalent to owning nearly one and a half cents of the share, but at that time, he had already made it clear when he negotiated the marriage with the Xiao family, These are temporarily privately owned by Xiao Qingning. Only when he and Xiao Qingning have a child can they officially take over. At that time, he has enough qualifications to join Tiangongfang, and everything will come naturally.

For the time being, he still only enjoys the dividends of these studios, and the right to govern, adapt, and even sell them is still in Xiao Qingning's own hands.

Although the several alchemy masters have high status, they are still not veterans. The reason also lies in the ownership. Of course, this does not mean that they really have no influence on the situation in the workshop. After all, rules are dead, people are Live, no matter what kind of ancestral regulations, when it comes to people, there are loopholes to take advantage of.

It was nearly noon, and Li Wan and several alchemy masters were sitting in the honorable seats in the hall. Several large chairs were set up high for the ceremony, and there were other seats on the side for other elders who were also prepared for the ceremony.

But most of these seats were empty, especially the three masters, none of them were present, and only four of them, including Li Wan, came for the alchemy monk.

Most of the elders had already gathered, and the entire meeting hall was full of voices, and a deacon was ordered to count the number of people and arrange seats.

While admiring his wife's condescending majesty as she sat upright in the hall, Li Wan observed the relatives of each family. Some people were happy while others were sad. But they all smiled and signaled, as if they were extremely confident.

At this time, it has been half a month since the last quarterly meeting, see you in this half month, everyone in the workshop recommended Xiao Fengyi as the successor deacon of the workshop owner, after a full discussion, until today, it is finally time to agree on the result.

"Li Daoyou, it is said that you ordered Mr. Fengyi to be elected by the elders this time as the workshop owner?"

Beside Li Wan, Master Lin Mingming, one of the ten alchemy masters in Tiangongfang, asked.

Logically speaking, Xiao Qingning is still sitting in this proxy position, no different from the real landlord. It is beneficial to Li Wan, how could he recommend others and pull down his wife.

Master Lin couldn't help being curious, and asked insincerely.

"The mouse is short-sighted..."

Li Wan seemed to be able to see the curiosity and teasing in the eyes of Master Lin, and couldn't help but sneer secretly.

He casually said: "Friend Daoist Lin may have misunderstood, how can I have such a great ability."

Another famous alchemy teacher interjected: "After the eldest lady gets married, it is indeed not suitable to sit in this position. Well, I mean, it is better for the virtuous couple to avoid suspicion, so as not to be envied by the clan."

This master of alchemy is a real person, but it's a pity that he still doesn't understand the inner reasons.

Li Wan casually echoed a few words, didn't bother to elaborate with them, and waited quietly for the meeting to start.

After a while, the clear ringing of the bell alarmed everyone in the meeting hall, all the elders stopped discussing and paid homage to Xiao Qingning together.

Xiao Qingning raised her long sleeves and said crisply, "Excuse me."

She used to be a little vain about these etiquettes, but now she can't help but feel disgusted. The following people are respectful on the surface and can't see anything, but they are full of fighting for power and profit, and there is no sincerity at all.

"Everyone, at the last quarterly meeting, the workshop has already passed the proposal to invite the elders to gather together to jointly elect the workshop owner. The position of the workshop owner has been suspended since 28 years ago. The eldest lady is the agent of the workshop owner. The contribution is indispensable, but the name is not If it doesn't go well, how to solve this matter needs all the elders to discuss together and find a way out. I suggest that if you have any suitable candidate in your mind, you might as well say it, and the elders will evaluate and discuss it and make a decision on the spot .”

Many people turned their attention to a white-haired old man. This person was an elder in the Xiao family. Xiao Qingning should call him uncle.

The uncle said: "According to the ancestral system, a direct son has no offspring, and his brothers and nephews inherit it. Although the eldest daughter is the eldest daughter of the direct line, since she is married, she is not suitable for this position. Let Feng Yi do it."

Several clan relatives greatly agreed: "Feng Yi is also a direct descendant, although he is not from the eldest family, he is the eldest son, as it should be."

Another family member said: "There is no more suitable candidate, except for Feng Yi, it is Chang Ning, Mo Lan and the young masters, but their cultivation qualifications are not as good as Feng Yi, so they should be worthy."

This is the rhythm of unanimous opinions, Gong Shuyuan couldn't care so much, he stood up quickly and said: "The candidate has been decided, so let's start the deliberation according to the ancestral system."

The elders on the eldest lady's side knew very well in their hearts that at this moment they could no longer use the identity of the eldest lady to talk about things. There was only one way, which was to brush off Xiao Fengyi, and everything remained as usual.

The fact that a married woman is the owner of the workshop has too much to do with it, and they dare not bring it up lightly, otherwise, if they are rejected, they will have no way out.

Xiao Qingning didn't know what everyone was thinking, but when the clan members began to recommend candidates according to the agenda, and counted Xiao Fengyi's qualifications to succeed the workshop owner, they suddenly felt inexplicable uneasiness.

This uneasiness is not because the current Xiao Fengyi is strong enough to fight her, nor is it because Li Wan has forced her to retreat and has no way to escape.

Based on her many years of management in Tiangongfang, although she can't be called an iron bucket, but in a short period of time, most of the clan elders will respect her.

It was she who saved Tiangongfang more than 20 years ago. It was she who allowed the clan members to escape from the bankruptcy of the workshop and continue to enjoy the glory and wealth. It was she who promoted the young people in the workshop and the family and let them Serve as steward, leader, and show off your strengths.

However, these will pass after all. When these people are full-fledged and don't need me, what should I do?

Xiao Qingning had never felt as uneasy as she is today, and it was only then that she suddenly realized that she was no longer the eldest lady of the Xiao family.

Daughter married off, water thrown out!

These clansmen are far more ruthless than I imagined.

The deliberations in the chamber are still going on, and the elders of all parties who hold different opinions have made generous speeches and clarified their positions.

Gongshu Yuan and others naturally hoped that Xiao Fengyi would lose the election, so they tried their best to obstruct it and refused to support Xiao Fengyi's ascension. Their reasons were also very good. A high position is likely to affect Fangli's expansion plan, causing Fangli to suffer heavy losses.

The clan members naturally avoided talking about these things, only talking about bloodlines.

"Elder Gongshu's words are serious. There are few people who are born with knowledge in the world. Since Xiao Huangong, the owners of this workshop are all selected from the direct lineage. As long as there are mature and prudent ministers in the workshop, they will pool their wisdom and ideas, and there will be no troubles. .”

Hearing this, Gongshu Yuan and the others couldn't help being slightly startled.It's not that he cares about whether this sentence makes sense, but that the clan member who spoke is implying that even if Xiao Fengyi is in power, he will not be able to do without these old people in a short time.

If you offend Mr. Fengyi too much, it will be difficult to say what will happen in the future. Every family has many heirs. Uncles and brothers must fight hard. Except for those who have been passed down for several generations, who can guarantee that the power of the family is in their own hands? ?Mr. Feng Yi can also win over the support of the elders in their family, and after many years, he will make a comeback.

"This statement is reasonable. Although talent, seniority, and merit are a major condition for the position of Fangzhu, it is not the standard of competence. On the contrary, the name is justified and more important. If not, there will be no agreement at the beginning. It is not a descendant of the Xiao family. no succession."

"The ancestral regulations cannot be changed. In my opinion, unless you can choose a more suitable candidate among the many clan relatives, it is better to choose Mr. Fengyi."

"It's reasonable and reasonable."

After a lot of verbal battles, the public says the public is right, and the mother-in-law says that the mother-in-law is reasonable, so it is still necessary to count and recommend.

The so-called counting chip selection means that the qualified veterans present will get a corresponding number of jade chips according to the share in their hands. One point corresponds to ten jade chips, half a point corresponds to five jade chips, and so on. Inside the box, count the chips at the end to decide whether to pass.

Although the process is a bit cumbersome, it can gather the opinions of all parties in the workshop to the maximum extent. As long as more than half of the investors agree, it is the highest resolution in the workshop, and even the owner of the workshop cannot overturn it.

The process of distributing jade chips strictly corresponded to the names of each family and each person's name. Li Wan saw that Xiao Qingning had obtained nearly a hundred jade chips alone, and fifteen of them were her own, representing that she was a descendant of the Xiao family. , the three workshops owned by her name, and the others were handed down from her parents from their ancestors.

Most of the other families are like this, Xiao Fengyi himself also owns fifteen long chips, but seeing the elder who presides over the overall situation, he gave him other jade chips, there are brothers and sisters, uncles, elders, There are almost fifty pieces of jade chips in Erfang.

"Now Xiao Fengyi is elected as the successor of the shop owner. Those who agree will vote for the left box, and those who disagree will vote for the right box."

The result was revealed soon, and the number of jade chips invested in the left box reached as many as 530.

According to the division method of jade chips, the final total will be less than [-] no matter what. As long as it exceeds [-], even if it is only [-], the overall situation is settled.

What's more, the box on the right does not correspond to more than 400, but only a few hundred. There are still many people on the sidelines who did not vote immediately. Wait until the discussion is over and take it back.

Everyone's meaning has been clearly revealed. (To be continued.)
