Eternal Beast Taming Family

Chu Jingyu's words caused the atmosphere in the hall to freeze. Even though the word "reform" was incredibly new to them, they could still easily understand its meaning.

There was a secret expectation in every eye. What new changes would this so-called "reform" bring to them?

"The original five-branch system has been abolished and will be replaced by new departments."

The Beast Academy oversees the raising, contracting, and sale of all source beasts within the family. It has one director, two deputy directors, and several other managers. For now, Lin Zixu is acting as the acting director. Lin Zixu, are you capable of shouldering this responsibility?

Lin Zixu quickly stood up from his seat. "Patriarch, Zixu will certainly live up to your expectations."

Chu Jingyu nodded and continued, "The Weaponry Academy will oversee the manufacture and sale of all weapons, equipment, and large-scale machinery within the family. The academy will have a director and several managers. Fu Qinglu, are you up to the task?"

Fu Qinglu was an old acquaintance. He was one of the stewards that Sun Chunchen handed over to the Chu family when he left Heyu Town. After arriving at the Chu family, he worked diligently, so Chu Jingyu entrusted him with the task of managing a department.

Butler Fu looked somewhat old, but was in good spirits. Entrusted with an important task, his face remained extremely calm, displaying a composure beyond praise or criticism. He cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Chu Jingyu.

"Fuqing Lu originally came to share the burdens of his master."

"The Agricultural Academy oversees the cultivation and sale of all plant-related spiritual creatures within the family's territory. It also has a director and several managers. Chen Zhengchang, are you capable of handling this task?"

Chen Zhengchang, the former village chief of Fuhe Village, trembled slightly with excitement. He quickly stood up, bowed, and said, "Thank you for your appreciation, Patriarch. I will definitely do my best for the Agricultural Academy."

Chu Jingyu nodded slightly, gesturing for him to sit down again.

"The academy oversees all educational affairs within the family, including the management of the library and research projects. Shen Tinghuan is the dean. There is a significant shortage of teachers, so we need to train them as soon as possible."

Chu Jingyu did not inquire about the college's arrangements, but directly informed them, indicating that Shen Tinghuan had no right to choose.

After exchanging greetings, Shen Tinghuan sat back down, but a hint of planning appeared in his eyes, as if he were considering some future plans for the academy.

"The Pharmacy is in charge of all medical and health matters related to humans and source beasts within the territory. So-won, this matter will still be entrusted to you."

Unlike the others, Chu Jingyu spoke with a gentler tone when addressing this adopted daughter of the Chu family.

Chu Suyuan rose gracefully. "Yes, Grandfather."

"The Commerce Academy will oversee all commercial transactions within the Chu family's territory, including the annual pricing of spiritual items and the comprehensive management of all aspects of life, from clothing and food to housing and transportation. This academy covers a wide range of industries, and will be headed by Xiao Nian, with Granny Liu as her assistant. Is that acceptable?"

Upon hearing this assignment, Granny Liu's heart tightened, but she quickly relaxed again. She stood up with Jiang Nian in front of her, received the order, and then sat down again.

This position sounds like a demotion compared to the others, but the business school involves too many areas, so it's not unreasonable for the family head to entrust it to someone from the main branch if he's not comfortable with it.

"The family needs to establish its own defense force, so this new department was created. The family barracks and guards are under the management of the military camp, and I will personally take charge of them."

"The Enforcement Yuan is in charge of all laws, criminal laws, and matters concerning the detention of lawbreakers. It is headed by Hsu Yin-yueh, with two deputy heads and several deacons."

After Xu Yinyue received the order, Chu Jingyu's appointment was not yet finished. He continued:

"Finally, there's the Government Affairs Department, which is responsible for handling all government affairs, large and small, within the entire family's territory, as well as coordinating the work of all its subordinate departments."

It also has subordinate departments such as the Treasure Pavilion, the Ritual Hall, and the Household Registration Office. The Administrative Affairs Department is under the responsibility of Qin Hui, and a large number of other outstanding talents are needed to assist in this process.

These are the initial details of this reform. If you have any doubts or questions, please feel free to speak your mind.

The seven departments of animal husbandry, tools, agriculture, education, commerce, medicine, and military affairs basically covered all aspects of the Chu family's territory.

Moreover, the government affairs department coordinates all departments, avoiding each department from doing its own thing. Overall, it is a responsibility system that is many times more complete than before.

The atmosphere in the hall remained silent for a long time before Chu Shengfan, whose figure appeared somewhat ethereal, chuckled and spoke.

"Grandfather, the division of responsibilities is roughly clear, but the internal management ranks, selection criteria, and salaries have not yet been announced. I think this is what everyone is most concerned about."

Sure enough, when Chu Shengfan finished speaking, the lower-ranking managers who were originally standing in the courtyard immediately perked up and looked up at the hall, clearly very concerned about what Chu Shengfan had said.

Chu Jingyu smiled slightly, "Since you're all so concerned, let me start by using the Beast Academy as an example."

The head of the veterinary academy is the dean, with two vice deans under him. This number may increase if the workload grows. Below the vice deans are six deacons, each responsible for a specific task.

For example, it may be responsible for managing a certain area within the Beast Academy or even more specifically, managing several types of source beasts.

Under the deacons are several stewards who handle more specific matters, including recording data, maintaining the source beasts, or feeding the spirit food.

There are four job levels in total, from top to bottom.

The dean receives a monthly salary of 100 spirit stones, and the vice dean receives a monthly salary of 50 spirit stones.

The monthly salary for a deacon is between 10 and 20 Source Stones, while the monthly salary for a steward is between 100 and 500 Source Stones.

Of course, there are corresponding requirements for the selection of these positions. The level of the manager must not be lower than the middle level of the mortal rank, the level of the steward must not be lower than the different rank, and the level of the vice dean must not be lower than the spirit rank.

Furthermore, we will adopt a two-way selection system for different positions. Each department will conduct unified interviews in a few days. You can choose the position you prefer to interview for, and then wait for your admission results.

Chu Jingyu spoke at length, and when they heard about the salary and benefits, almost all the lower-ranking managers' eyes lit up. It sounded like the compensation would be much better than it was now, which was absolutely fantastic news for them.

"As for the more detailed regulations for each department, I will need the deans I have appointed to put their minds to it. This can be considered my first assessment of you after you took office to reform."

"Yes," the deans quickly replied.

After a moment, Chu Jingyu looked at Chu Suyuan again and then spoke softly.

"So-won, you and Heon-rang have been married for almost twelve or thirteen years, haven't you?"

Chu Suyuan, who was sitting, and Zhao Xuanlang, who was standing behind her chair, both trembled. They didn't know why Chu Jingyu brought this up at this time, but Chu Suyuan still softly agreed.

"Hanxiu is eight years old now. Before he really grows up, let's change his surname back to his father's surname, Zhao."

Hearing Chu Jingyu's words, the couple panicked. They didn't know what they had done to upset Chu Jingyu, who actually wanted Hanxiu to change his surname back to Zhao.
