Chapter Eighty-Three: Proposed Again

Zhao Jing is the son of the sect after all, and once he takes action, the reaction of the whole clan is also very fast.

Another clan conference was held, and this time the topic was to unite the strength of the whole clan to help each other and tide over the difficulties together.

Those who have been affected by the disaster and are unable to save themselves are naturally in favor of this issue with both hands, the Zongfang and the second room are the initiators, of course, there is no objection, the third room is the eighth old lady in charge, he has always regarded himself as the mainstay of the clan, and he will not object, and the other heads of the houses, that is, the descendants of each house have a little idea, especially the outer six rooms, they have few fields, a large population, and a thick family background, they are definitely not the one who receives the aid, so don't they want to pay for nothing? The nature of the merchant prevailed in the heart of the head of the six-room family for a while, and he asked Zhao Jing very sharply: "According to your idea, no matter what the background of our house is, we have to take out money and food, so how much do we have to pay out for each house?" To whom will be in charge of all this money? ”

Zhao Jing hurriedly said: "The houses are uneven, and the disaster situation is not the same, so naturally you can pay as much as you want, and if you have difficulties at home, you can not pay it, but when the family has spare strength in the future, you can give more." Natural disasters are not the only ones this time, there will inevitably be people in the future, this time for the people to help, the next time their own family encounters difficulties, the benefit of the tribe will also be rewarded. We are the same surname and the same clan, and we should watch and help each other, and no matter which family suffers, the other clansmen will help each other. ”

The eighth old lady smiled and stroked her long beard: "Great goodness! Jing'er, just this kind of bearing and courage, you are much stronger than your father! As a member of the same family. There should have been an idea of benefiting the people. ”

Zhao Jing lowered his head and smiled a little embarrassed, he had the intention of working for the benefit of his clansmen, but this method. Zhao Xiu, who was still in the second room, reminded him, which really made him ashamed.

The eighth old lady was highly respected, he opened his mouth, Zhao Xiu from the small second room sat on the side and did not speak, but looking at the expression, he was also in favor, and the clansmen whispered a few words, but there was no objection.

The head of the outer six rooms was a little unwilling. He asked again: "If I just asked, Zongzi has not answered, who is in charge of all this money and grain?" Who can guarantee that those in charge will not be enriched? If each house decides how much money to pay. What if you don't have enough money to raise? What if no one is willing to pay for food? What if this time the money is paid, and the next time the family suffers a disaster, the other clansmen will not help? At that time, I will be unlucky except to cry. Who else can stand up for me? ”

As soon as he said this, he said. Among the clansmen who were originally in favor, a few began to hesitate. They are all the descendants of each house, and they also have some family backgrounds, and this time the disaster is not too serious, and they are originally one of the main forces to contribute money and efforts. They felt that Zhao Jing's construction was very good, but the worries of the owners of the outer six houses were also very real, and they didn't mind paying money to help the clansmen, but they didn't mind giving money in vain. But if you are cheaper than irrelevant people, you can't get any good.

The eighth old lady saw this. He was a little displeased: "According to your words, no one needs to pay any money, because no one knows whether anyone will enrich their own pockets in the future, and no one knows when there will be another famine, and whether there will be people from the tribe to help you at that time." So what are we sitting here for?! ”

The eighth old lady's face is still very big, and as soon as he straightened his face, the head of the sixth room softened his tone: "Eighth Uncle Ancestor, the nephew and grandson don't mean that, I just think that everything should have a clear charter, so as not to cause chaos in the future, and the sect will have no face." ”

When the eighth old lady heard this, her expression slowed down a little: "If you have any good ideas, you can say it, you don't have to speak bitterly and scold." Aren't you worried that you will lose more money? If you love to take it or not, who will beg you to fail? But you don't want to pay for it, and don't talk nonsense here and get in the way, so that other people can't get help. As for the money and food taken out by each room, it is naturally in the hands of the sect, Brother Jing's personality, the whole clan knows it, you say that he will fill his pockets, how many people believe in you? It's better to say less about those boring words. ”

The head of the sixth house outside is accustomed to dealing with the sleek style of businessmen, and after listening to the direct and unkind words of the eighth old lady, he almost didn't come up in one breath, and his younger brother saw that the situation was not good, so he hurriedly pressed him and said with a smile: "The eighth uncle misunderstood, my brother didn't mean this, he just didn't know the constitution of the sect, he wanted to ask more clearly, he was upright, and he couldn't speak, but let you misunderstand." ”

Who is the owner of the outer six rooms? Business is doing well, and who would believe him if he is a straight-tempered person who can't speak? The owners of each house have a number in their hearts, seeing that he has suffered a loss, it is obvious that the third room in the inner house is going to have a nostril to vent this time, and the horizontal and vertical is a great thing that is beneficial to the whole family, what is there to oppose? Zhao Jing's character is trustworthy, and what everyone is worried about is just Master Yu.

When the clan was in the hands of the old man and ancestor of Yu, he never really sought any welfare for the clan, although he said well, one person has something, and the whole clan comes to help, but every time the people of the clan suffer a loss outside, the patriarch raised his arms and shouted, and called the male Ding Xiong in the clan to find someone unlucky, in exchange for other clansmen to suffer losses, the patriarch dragged out three times and refused to come out, and finally came forward, as long as the opponent can afford the price, he can leave the clansmen behind with his backhand, and can really uphold justice for the clansmen, There are only two or three times out of ten, and these two or three times are just a gesture for him, and they are not a little troublesome.

has such a criminal record, everyone can trust Zhao Jing, but they can't trust his father, and they are even more afraid that after Master Yu comes back, he will press Zhao Jing with filial piety and seek to rob the money and food taken out by the clansmen, and Zhao Jing is powerless to resist.

Zhao Jing knows this, but he doesn't have any good ideas, he just thinks that his father is not so confused, as long as they are carefully admonished, his father naturally knows what to do and what not to do.

So he said: "In the past, there were similar practices in the clan, such as raising widows and loneliness, subsidizing poor clansmen, or helping the unfortunate clansmen who died in other places to do their funeral, sending money, grain, silver and rice to the clansmen in difficulty, etc., etc., etc., but these are all fragmentary, and there is no perfect charter, and there are some deficiencies. This time, I just want to ask all the houses to work together and agree on a good charter. In the future, act in accordance with the statutes, and ensure that all the people of the house do not fall into a situation of hardship and helplessness. ”

When he said this, the owners of the houses remembered it. There have been similar practices in the past, but they are not written, and there are no rules for the unified action of the whole clan, but a few rich families have shown kindness and spontaneously helped the poor people.

The clansmen didn't seem to have any objections. It's just that there is still some uncertainty about the specific charter. The eighth old lady caught a glimpse of Zhao Xiu sitting aside, her face calm. With a hint of a confident smile, I couldn't help but feel moved: "Sister Xiu, do you have any good ideas?" ”

Zhao Xiu smiled and said, "I can't say good ideas, but my nephew and granddaughter have a few bad ideas." For example, the six-room lobby brother outside the square asked. How much food each family pays? How to set the standard, Brother Jing said that everyone is voluntary, which is good, but if there is more and less is the same, everyone will inevitably feel discouraged. It is better to count the money and grain taken out by each family as a contribution point, such as ten taels of silver, and grain, firewood, cloth and other physical goods are also converted according to the price. The more points you contribute, the more respected your family will be in the clan. It also has a higher say in the affairs of the clan. If you get to a certain number of points, say, a hundred, a thousand, then the family can have some privileges. Let me give you an example, doesn't the new clan rules discussed by the previous public agree that a family needs to obtain the support of the three clans before it can submit the matter it wants to apply for to the clan public discussion? Then if his family accumulates enough 100 points, he can bring the matter to the clan for public discussion without the support of the three clansmen, and as long as the number of opponents is not more than half, the matter requested by his family can be passed, how about it? ”

The eighth old lady's eyes suddenly lit up, if this agreement was passed, if he wanted to establish a clan study in the future, he would not have to get the support of the other Sanfang clansmen first, it would be cheap.

Zhao Jing also felt good, and added: "People who contribute a lot will receive more funding if they suffer in the future." If there are no contribution points, the trapped clansmen can ensure food and clothing, but if they have contribution points, they can get more things. How much each family should get, let's calculate it according to the contribution points. ”

Zhao Xiu hurriedly said: "You don't have to pay money and food to get contribution points, you can help with things." For example, if there are many men in the clan, they can help with housework and maintain law and order on the street, if there are only women and children in the family, then help others do some needlework or other things within their ability, and the elderly can help take care of the children and mention the younger generations, and the children can remember the kindness of the clan and return when they grow up in the future. The contribution points accumulated by parents and elders can be used by future generations, and the more they help their clansmen, the more benefits their descendants will receive. ”

Zhao Jing nodded in agreement. The eighth old lady also slapped her thigh hard: "Great goodness! Let's do it, and follow this charter and negotiate the bylaws. After finishing speaking, he looked at Zhao Xiu with appreciation: "Sister Xiu'er is really smart enough to come up with such a good idea." ”

Zhao Xiu laughed dryly on the side, thinking that at the last clan conference, the eighth old lady was still questioning her qualifications to attend, and this time he actually praised her, is it a huge progress?

The people of all the clans looked at each other, and the three inner rooms had made up their minds, what else did others have to say? Looking at the brothers in the outer six rooms, they were silent, as if they had discovered the benefits of this new rule for them, so everyone discussed it lively, and finally discussed more than ten rules for everyone to vote on.

The eighth old lady asked her son to personally get a stack of paper with dark patterns, which was marked with a number by Zhao Xiu, and then handed it to Zhao Jing, Zhao Jing ordered a few cousins and nephews, all of whom had read some books, and copied the more than ten clauses on the paper one by one, and distributed them to the owners of each house.

Voting is still held in the utility room next door, but it has now been sorted out and has become a special voting room, and even the special voting table and ballot box have been prepared, and the ballot box is opened for each homeowner to see, to ensure that before the voting starts, the inside is empty, and then Zhao Jing personally locks the box and the voting begins.

Sixteen rules are fourteen, and the remaining two are not very important. Zhao Jing arranged the specific division of labor on the spot, and after lunch, ten newly formed trenching and drainage engineering teams were about to be sent to the people's land, and the members of the engineering team included the Zhao clan and various household servants, hired laborers and tenant farmers, and each engineering team had at least two representatives of the small second house, because they were skilled workers and clearly knew the correct approach.

The next day, further relief for the affected people began, and people took care of the damaged houses, the injured and sick people in the family, and the people who were out of food and wages. The Zhao clan is united and harmonious as never before.

Zhao Jing stood out and finally established his authority in the clan as the son of the sect. Zhao Xiu also won more respect for the small second room. She was very satisfied, with such a foundation, she believed that one day, she would completely expel Xiao Changfang from the genealogy of the Zhao clan! (To be continued......)
