Although Tang Jinglin didn't deliberately ponder the thoughts of these people, he could roughly guess them. But he didn't care, because ideas are one thing, and whether or not you can follow your ideas depends on your strength after all. If the strength is not enough, it is utopian and fanciful.

It was precisely because of his confidence that Tang Jinglin allowed some people to connect in private, and now Shi Shiran walked in under the gaze of more than 500 people, and calmly sat down in a single position at the top.

Tang Hongyu, Li Fang, and Ye Wanyu followed behind Tang Jinglin and sat down under his left and right hands respectively, which belonged to the position of the main vein.

"You're all here! Let's meet every year to worship our ancestors, except for the 39th branch that is about to join, everyone is very familiar with each other, and I won't say much polite words!

Except for Tang Jinglin's parents and the 39 branches that have not yet joined, the remaining 38 branches, in terms of generation, are all Tang Jinglin's juniors. He is still the patriarch, and he naturally doesn't need to be polite when he speaks, and he is plain, so that people can't see his true thoughts.

And Tang Jinglin's words are very clear, everyone can put forward their opinions, but whether they adopt it or not, it depends on his decision in the end. This is not some kind of democratic voting, as the patriarch of the Tang Clan's Qingyu Hall, he has absolute power in this matter.

The moment Tang Jinglin spoke, Qingyu Hall fell silent. After Tang Jinglin finished speaking, the atmosphere suddenly froze, and the needle drop could be heard. Even if the rest of the people have something in their hearts, they are not willing to be the first to bring it up now, for fear of becoming cannon fodder, but embarrassing, it is better to plan and then act, and see what others say.

The silent silence, even the air was a little depressing, everyone was the same as the sculpture, even Tang Jinglin's parents and Ye Wanyu were a little nervous, only Tang Jinglin himself was calm. With hills and valleys in the chest, it is natural to be able to remain unfazed.

"Ahem, since everyone hasn't thought about it yet, then I'll talk about my opinion first, and I think it's just throwing bricks and leading jade!" The one who spoke was called Tang Muchun, who was three generations lower than Tang Jinglin, and belonged to the first-level great-grandson, but he was already the highest rank in the branches, and he was 92 years old this year.

Xingyan Shengxulong, Maoqing Changguangsheng, loyal and benevolent heirs, clean and righteous to virtue; Kaiyuan Wenyunlai, filial piety and blessing Linghong; Jingming Si Mu Xun, Putian Chonghuaguang; education and training family ancestral merit, Xinyi as a treasure medal; ancestors of the great name, Wanbang Li Xinzhou.

This is the ranking of the first generation of the Tang family, and now the lowest of the Tang family has reached the light character generation, which is nine generations younger than Tang Jinglin.

That's it, it's because the Tang Clan's Qingyu Hall has been awarded for more than 300 years, that is to say, the 38 branches have been separated in the past 300 years, so it has not pulled the generations to an exaggerated point.

"Say it!" Tang Jinglin nodded.

"The core of our Tang Clan's Qingyu Hall is the inheritance of the main lineage, and it is also the foundation of the development of our various branches! Now the foundation of the main lineage of the Tang family, that is the blue wisps of the ancestors, bit by bit, it took thousands of years to accumulate! Although in recent years, there has been no cultivator in the foundation building period, but our Tang family's heritage is still there, and we may become a master in the foundation building period at any time. ”

Speaking of this, Tang Muchun paused, pondered and said, "Of course, I'm not blaming the main lineage, after all, it's not easy to produce cultivators in the foundation building period! However, before we get new ways to obtain cultivation resources, our Tang family doesn't have the foundation to expand the ranks of cultivators. ”

"We have always followed the elite strategy, put the inheritance first, and did not blindly pursue the number of cultivators. Even each generation deliberately leaves only one or two inheritors, just to save resources as much as possible and let the lineage practitioners go further. This strategy is well executed, and it is also the fundamental reason why our Tang family has been able to inherit it for thousands of years and continue to grow and develop. I don't think there's any need to change!"

After saying this, Tang Muchun bowed deeply and said: "Patriarch!

"Well, I see!Is there anyone else who has a different opinion?" Tang Jinglin nodded, motioned for Tang Muchun to sit down, and asked the others.

"Patriarch, I don't think what Uncle Mu Chun said is right, our Tang Clan's Qingyu Hall has indeed reached the time for reform! This can be seen from the continuous decline in our strength as cultivators in the past two hundred years, our Tang family needs to introduce a competition mechanism!"

The one who stood up this time was a middle-aged man with a sinister aura, it turned out to be a late-stage first-level martial cultivator, he was a branch disciple that Tang Lingqiu had sent to the Cultivator Alliance more than fifty years ago, and now he was serving in the branch of the Cultivator Alliance in a city in the south. His name is Tang Puyuan, one of the 22 cultivators of the Tang family's branch.

"Of course, the younger generation does not want to compete for the position of the patriarch of the main lineage, but it is indeed for the sake of the inheritance and growth of the Tang family, and we need to introduce a competition mechanism in the inheritance of cultivators. In addition to the patriarch heir of the main lineage, a number of Tang family disciples with good cultivation talent were also selected for cultivation to ensure that they could cultivate cultivators who could protect the Tang family enough. There's competition to be pressure!"

"However, the strongest cultivator who escorts the Tang family does not necessarily have to be the patriarch, the patriarch of the main vein is still selected by the previous patriarch in the main vein, and if the person who wins the cultivation competition is a branch disciple, we should also fully support him to break through. ”

The main reason why Tang Puyuan jumped out to make this suggestion was that he had a son with extremely outstanding cultivation talent, and now he was only half a year older than Tang Jinglin, and he had already given birth to True Qi under his cultivation.

This is of course due to the effect of Tang Puyuan saving most of his cultivation resources, and the fact that his son's qualifications are indeed excellent enough. Now that he has the opportunity, Tang Puyuan certainly has to fight, and maybe he will be able to get a lot of cultivation resources from the patriarch of the main vein, who seems to have some cramps in his brain.

After Tang Puyuan finished speaking, most of the people looked at Tang Jinglin cautiously. After all, although this expansion of the scale of cultivators was originally proposed by Tang Jinglin, now Tang Puyuan obviously wanted to fight for more.

Perhaps, according to Tang Jinglin's meaning, he only took out a small part of the resources to cultivate the cultivators of the branch veins, but now Tang Puyuan wants to treat everyone equally. Regardless of the main vein and branch veins, whoever has a faster cultivation speed and higher qualifications will tilt their resources towards whom, which seems to be much more "fair" to the branches, and it can indeed increase the overall strength of the Tang Clan's Qingyu Hall.

"Anything else?" Tang Jinglin's face did not change in the slightest, and he asked in a calm tone.

"I think Pu Yuan's suggestion is very good, why don't we find the most qualified cultivation seed for each of our 39 branches to participate in the competition?"

"The first stage can be set at ten years first, and it will be eliminated in stages, and those who cannot cultivate their true qi cannot enter the next stage. In the second stage, for another ten years, the one with the fastest cultivation, the most solid foundation, and the strongest strength can obtain the greatest resource tilt!"

"Those who are eliminated must also contribute to the Tang family, and they must give back to the family, not only to earn back the resources consumed, but also to make greater contributions, so that we can use these resources to continue to cultivate the next batch and form a virtuous circle!"

"The power of our branches should also be mobilized, and the eliminated cultivators can go to various branches to sit down, and with the help of the resources and channels of the Worry-Free Grocery Store, open up branches, increase the performance of the Worry-Free Grocery Store, and also strengthen the collection of cultivation resources. ”
