The reason why the families in the past were strong was because they monopolized all aspects of knowledge, mastered huge land resources, and had a large number of clan systems, which made them more competitive when they did anything, so they accumulated more wealth and resources, and have been living a superior life.

And now, their monopoly on knowledge has been broken.

The land resources in their hands are even more because of the expansion of the country, the improvement of the productive forces of the people, and the era of exploiting the labor force of the weak and small groups of the common people is gone forever, and it can no longer bring them much wealth.

With the development of industry and commerce, the gradual enrichment of commodities, the consumption of the people has also increased, and the huge number of people in their clan, if they do not go out to open up industries, they will continue to share the interests of the elite groups in their clan, not to mention how unwilling those elite groups will be, at least, the kind of life of the people in the past, they must be gone, ordinary people, the status of the clan, because their output contribution is not high, and more and more low, in this way, the outbreak of internal contradictions is a matter of time.

Previously, the families in Shannan Province were suppressed by Sun Xiangfu, which caused contradictions, and at the beginning of this year, they became the first batch of families in Datang.

When all the people of a clan can become stronger and enjoy a more superior life by holding together for warmth, they are naturally willing to rely on this model to survive, and when this model can no longer allow them to live a good life, and there will be more and more low status, and the standard of living is less and less than those people who work alone, you don't expect them to be so stupid to listen to greetings and live in the clan with patience, this is human nature, everyone is willing to pursue better.

After the issuance of a new policy like Jiuyuan County, only by dividing the family can they enjoy the power to distribute land and homesteads, which will accelerate the collapse of the clans in these lands, because for most ordinary people, they choose to go it alone, they get more and more freedom.

Originally, many of the clansmen of several major families in Yingzhou broke away from the clan and went to work at the construction site in Jinan County and Zhongxiang County, and were assigned their own fields and houses, or in less than two years, they will be like the people of Jiuyuan County now, with hundreds of deposits, cattle, cars, and boats, and live a better life than continuing to stay in the clan, and their behavior is not autonomous, and most of their property is controlled by the clan, which is much better for a new life, after all, the clan also has some hard drawbacks, that is, it is not a descendant of the line, it is difficult to get ahead, Direct or collateral children, even if you are talented, you only contribute the benefits you create to the family and the descendants, if your children and grandchildren are mediocre, after two or three generations, you can only live the most ordinary life.

The separation of the low-level clansmen from the clan is no longer an isolated phenomenon, but is gradually becoming a common scene, because now the entire social model has begun to change, and what the court can give them, or rather, what they can win for themselves, has gradually become more than what the clan can give them.

In Sun Xiangfu's view, the elimination of the family is never to get out and kill the people in power of the family, after all, they are also part of the country, and they are the orthodoxy of the Han family.

It's about changing the paradigm to make them harmless, and even beneficial, for the country.

The political model, which is dominated by the system and management, can prevent the family from having sole power in the court and using power to exploit others as in the past. This situation gradually occupies the mainstream, which leads to the fact that the family is not keen on the court now, because, the more they go on, the more they seem to be public servants to the people, which is inconsistent with their original intention of pursuing fame and fortune.

And under this new trend, it will let the poor people who have mastered knowledge gradually enter the court, and over time, the situation of the family clan dominating everything will naturally disappear.

"The current situation of the Shannan Dao families, I believe you have seen it, if you can't let the clansmen in the clan live a richer life than the people of Jiuyuan, Jinan, and Zhongxiang counties without consuming the wealth of the family, then it is inevitable that they will break away from your clans."

Sun Xiangfu just said simply, the representatives of each family, just like when the patriarchs of several families in Shannan Province heard Sun Xiangfu's proposal to let them split up, their chests were hammered.

There are so many family representatives present, all of them are at the level of management within the clan, if they don't notice the situation within the family, it is impossible, and many of them have even studied the reasons for the successive separation of several families in Shannan Province, and in the end, they found that this phenomenon, unless they rebelled and broke Li Tang's rule, otherwise, there was no solution.

It is precisely because they have felt such a crisis before that they will be so easily fooled by Wang Hao and Wang Xu, and they want to join forces to prevent such a situation from continuing to develop.

"Then what good advice does Brother Zhengming have?" The topic that Sun Xiangfu is talking about now is obviously a little beyond Wang Xu's expectations, but he still hasn't forgotten his task.

"I can't say how good my suggestion is, but if you do, it might be better than doing things like this and falling apart in the end."

Sun Xiangfu said it so directly, but it made more people present show embarrassed expressions, they came this time, in addition to asking questions, didn't they come to add to Li Shimin's heart.

"Brother Zhengming, please elaborate." Wang Xu continued.

"First of all, each of you will take out the things at the bottom of your own box and make it into an industry as soon as possible, I know that in the field of medicinal materials alone, there are many of you, with unique cultivation and brewing secret recipes.

Now, it is better for you to take out these secret recipes and cooperate with the people and governments in some areas suitable for cultivating these medicinal herbs, and make it bigger and make it an industry that no one else can compete with you in this field, rather than it being researched by others and becoming worthless.

Second, it is no longer so advisable to increase the competitiveness of the clan in society by concentrating the productive forces of the clansmen, because under the old clan management system, there is not much difference between what a clansman gets by planting one acre of land and planting one stone per mu or ten stone per mu of land. This model will make the productivity of your clansmen far less than that of ordinary people working alone, this truth, I have also talked to several families in Shannan Province before, and it has been confirmed.

Of course, I do not suggest that you abandon this model of concentrating on strengthening competitiveness, but use a newer model that is more in line with everyone's interests to better develop and grow.

After all, the family is also a part of this country, and the court also hopes that the children of your clan will become better in the great development of the country. ”

"What's the new model?" Everyone heard the point and asked out loud.

"It's very simple, just like Overseas Exploration and Investment Co., Ltd., the establishment of a joint-stock family business, when each of your clansmen holds a certain amount of shares in the family, the more profits they help the family earn, the more they can share, this will avoid the kind of situation of inertia caused by inertia, and those who do not act will be automatically eliminated by the family."

Family business, in the era of science and technology in later generations, it still exists in a large area, Sun Xiangfu said a lot of how to manage and operate this family business model, in the final analysis, is to help them make a fancy division plan.

In Sun Xiangfu's suggestion, all families can liquidate the assets of the family, convert them into shares, and distribute a certain amount of shares to each descendant, lineage, collateral, and branch of the clan, and give all those who are responsible for managing the family industry, or ordinary working clansmen, to formulate a salary system, or a salary system such as business sharing.

The formation of this whole system may pose some threats to the authority of the head of the family who can now decide everything, but as long as they obtain more than 50% of the shares of the family assets, they can still obtain the absolute right to speak in the family business, but once the shares are finalized, they can only rely on a single family inheritance, that is to say, the head of the family who only takes 50% of the shares may distribute his shares to his multiple sons-in-law, resulting in the uncertainty of the absolute right to speak. You can also divide your shares into many shares for your children, and the shares can also be sold to each other, or even to the outside world, depending on their future choices.

Needless to say, Sun Xiangfu's idea, although everyone is listening carefully, but until the last resort, they should not consider it, they don't know, Sun Xiangfu originally told several families in Shannan Province that after the suggestion to divide the family, it was only more than a year later, and many of them had to be divided.

The talks continued, Sun Xiangfu and they gave some suggestions from their own development model to the future industrial business model, what he can do for the family, that's all, and then, they proposed to cooperate with Sun Xiangfu to develop new industries, and Sun Xiangfu did not refuse.

For example, there are many planting industries in the farm, which can be subcontracted to them to do, and the planting of many cash crops and drugs must be planted in specific areas in order to grow well, so that they can get it with strong organizational strength, which can not only help the people in these different places get rich, but also promote the development of the industry faster.

After a full day of talks, Sun Xiangfu was invited over by Li Shimin at dinnertime.

The dinner prepared by Li Shimin for him was very simple, three dishes and one soup, all of which were local specialties of No. 1 Yuan, fish, meat and vegetables, and the fruit before the meal was golden bells, which is commonly known as leprosy melon or leprosy grapes by the locals.

"Zhengming has worked hard today, let's talk after eating first." Li Shimin pointed to a vacant seat in the hall.

"Then you're welcome." In private, Sun Xiangfu has been able to be very casual in front of Li Shimin, which is requested by Li Shimin, and Sun Xiangfu himself also feels more comfortable.

Li Shimin nodded, then turned his face and chatted with Fang Xuanling and Eldest Sun Wuji, who were also in the seat, they had eaten for a while, and now they were slowly drinking wine and chatting about business, among which Fang Xuanling whispered, "Wei Xuancheng suggested that the system of cooperation between the local government and the family should be legislated, and Ma Zhou Shilang of the Ministry of Commerce also suggested that a complete set of laws and regulations should be established to manage industries like the Jiuyuan Chamber of Commerce and some similar joint-stock industries, and the prince has approved it, but how should these laws be established, They only have a general direction, and they are a little unsure of how to set it better. The minister suggested that they follow the model of Jiuyuan County in formulating rules and regulations, and convene people from all walks of life to hold a hearing to collect public opinions and some suggestions put forward by the people, so that the detailed rules can be finalized as soon as possible. ”

Li Shimin nodded and said, "Fang Qing's words are reasonable, I mean, take the officials of Jiuyuan County as a benchmark for the state and county of the world, and organize all the officials and interns to come here to study, what do you think?" ”

"I think it's possible."

"The minister also thinks it is feasible." Fang Xuanling and eldest grandson Wuji nodded in agreement, and then looked at Sun Xiangfu, who was feasting.

"That, I'm just a grass people, although I am ordered to farm, but on this kind of national affairs, it's better not to express my opinion." Sun Xiangfu, who was chewing food in his mouth, was stared at by three pairs of eyes, and said with some embarrassment. At this moment, he was complaining in his heart, didn't he say okay to let me eat first and then talk?
