Chapter 515: The Law of Family Survival

"Father-in-law, it seems that these three old people are here for the first time." Qin An pointed at Gan Mao and the three asked.

Qin An looked at Gan Mao and the three of them one by one, and the clothes they were wearing were not clothes made in their own workshop, and they saw that the fabrics were all silk.

This shows that the three of them are either rich or expensive, and Yingzheng will definitely not be so simple when they let them come.

Ying Zheng smiled, "You're right. All three of them are first-time visitors, one of them is a descendant of Mencius, one is a descendant of Gan Mao, and the other is a descendant of Bai Qi.

You can call them Lao Bai, Lao Gan, Lao Meng.

I came with me this time to learn from your skills, they have a great family, but they are afraid that future generations will lose their families, so they came to the village, hoping that you can give them ideas."

Qin An thought for a while and said, "What is the idea of this, children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and the elders don't care too much. Elders just need to be fair and just.

A big family and a big business mean that there is a large population, and when the population is large, there will be fights. When the population increases, it will be divided into the main house and the family, that is, the big house and the second room, and over time, the big house will permanently occupy the position of the head of the family.

The second room, the first few years were okay, but after a few decades, or a hundred years, the second room became an existence that did not enter the underground people.

Just like the royal family, after the crown prince succeeded to the throne, when the remaining princes and princes became emperors, they were treated well.

But after the death of the crown prince and the new emperor ascended the throne, this group of imperial uncles will decline, even if they do not decline, they will definitely decline in a hundred years, this is human nature.

So if you want a family to exist forever, then don't just focus on the main house, that is, the big house, but give the second room a chance.

Let's just say me, I will have three children, and I will divide my property equally among the three children, or because of the ability problem, there will be favoritism among them.

But all three of them will have a chance to be the ones who stand on their own."

Gan Mao smiled and asked, "What if someone fails because of this?"

"That can only be said that he is not capable, but at this time he is already an independent family, and he can no longer rely on his brother, so even if he fails, he will not starve to death, at most he will become a poor man, no. Nor can he be considered a poor person.

It's just that compared to the previous life, it has become relatively poor."

Meng Xifan thought about it for a moment and said, "What does Sir mean is to give every descendant a chance to develop? Whether it succeeds or not, it's all up to them?"

"Yes." Qin An said, "Now in Huaxia, the real family members are all over the world.

Once to worship the ancestors, tens of thousands of people came, although there are still patriarchs, but the patriarch only manages some chores of the family, but will not interfere with the lives of the clansmen.

Of course, if someone breaks the law, the patriarch has the right to expel him from the family, but there may be no punishment for him.

So, if I have the ability to develop my family, I will give every future generation a chance.

Let them have the opportunity to develop on their own, if they succeed, they will be able to get ahead, if they are not successful, they will be an ordinary person.

As the heads of the big family, you three must have in mind that the eldest son or grandson will inherit the family business."

"Shouldn't that be?" Meng Xifan said.

"There's nothing you shouldn't do." Qin An said, "Everyone has their own point of view. My point is to give everyone a chance.

Your view is that the eldest son inherits the family business, and some people pass it on to the younger generations who are able to do so.

It doesn't matter if the person is his own or not, as long as he is a member of his own family."

"Sir has a point, and we all agree with it. However, it is a bit unrealistic to want us to divide the property among our people, and I wonder if there is any other way for our family to continue to exist?"

Qin An frowned slightly, and said, "This is very demanding, and it is difficult to do."

"It's hard to do.

It doesn't mean it can't be done, does it." Meng Xifan asked.

Qin An said, "Theoretically, it is not impossible for a family to exist for a long time, it is very possible, but it is very difficult for a family to have a family rule all the time, and then let other clansmen selflessly dedicate.

Everyone has selfish intentions, even if it is me, I have selfish intentions.

For example, I am a member of your family, but I am a collateral descendant, but my power is very strong, more powerful than the eldest son.

Excuse me, when the head of the family doesn't want to take a fancy to me, am I decadent, or do I leave the family and start my own business, or do I just hate you in my heart and think of a plot to seize the inheritance of the family?"

When it came to the conspiracy, Meng Xifan, Bai Siqi and Gan Mao were shocked at the same time, and their backs couldn't help but get wet.

They are not afraid of the decadence of the second room, nor are they afraid that the second room will leave the family, they are afraid that the second room will cause destruction in the family.

Qin An continued: "If you want to change this process, then there are only two ways, one is what I said, give everyone a chance.

The second is to formulate clan rules and give family members the idea of family unity."

"What does this have to do with the unification of the country?" Ying Zheng asked.

"Father-in-law, these two concepts are completely different. The unification of the state can unite the strength of the whole country, and the orders of the state are almost all equal.

However, the lives of the people are related to their own abilities, and if the people are in difficulty, the state can call on others to help the people in need.

But the family is different, the family basically asks for the clan's pay, while the family only gives some benefits to the clan, and sometimes the pay and the benefits are not equal.

Second, the state is public, and the family is private.

Therefore, the family is always a selfish existence, and if I want to exist forever, I value the ideological unity more than the formal family unity.

As long as there is one in the heart of the clansmen who works hard for the growth of the family, it doesn't matter if they live in the same place or not, and what does it matter if they are separated or not?

The so-called division of the family is just the division of property, their family affection, their family responsibilities are not divided, my three children will be separated in the future, they still remember their surname Qin, and know that they still have brothers, and remember that they want to develop Qin'an.

And I will also set rules for them, such as family members in trouble, to help.

The clansmen must be helped if they are bullied, the people of the tribe must be eliminated for the troubles of the country, and the clansmen must be removed from the deception of the clansmen.

What kind of moral kidnapping, vexatious trouble, etc., these family rules are not only to restrain the clansmen, but also to let the family members live in harmony, so that they can grow up and grow at the same time.

If you want to truly make the family perpetuate, you must keep pace with the times, not against the country, not against the people, be kind to others, and fellowship with the country."
