Before this, Ling Jiexin had never mentioned the matter of establishing a patriarch, but he had always wanted to change some of the existing systems of the Cangli Ling clan.

The six people thought that he would bring up the matter of restructuring again today, but they never thought that he would want to establish a patriarch.

The Cangli Ling clan did not have a patriarch from the beginning of Ling Taiyi, because Ling Taiyi felt that it was easy for a person to make mistakes in leading the Cangli Ling clan, so he did not set up a patriarch, but formed an elder council to jointly manage the family.

Indeed, compared with the patriarch system, the Cangli Ling clan under the leadership of the Council of Elders system has gone smoothly for more than 500 years, without too many twists and turns.

But for nearly two hundred years, the Cangli Ling clan has been standing still, and the shortcomings of the presbyterian system have been undoubtedly exposed.

But no one has ever proposed the establishment of a patriarch, because no one dares to openly challenge the fundamental system of the Cangli Ling clan.

But today Ling Jiexin actually brought it up, which is really shocking, even Ling Yuansheng, who is a little more radical, feels that he is too reckless in doing this.

Ling Yuan said angrily: "Uncle Jiu, do you really want to be the patriarch?

Hearing this, Ling Jiexin said: "If the eldest grandfather is willing to be the patriarch, I will be the head of the horse." ”

"Ninth brother, you yourself know that our six elders will not agree to the matter of establishing a patriarch. ”

What are you kidding, once the patriarch is established, the power of the presbyterian council will inevitably be greatly reduced, or even replaced by the patriarch, how can they, the members of the presbyterian church who have held great power for many years, be willing to give up.

"It's been two hundred years since I stood still, and in the past two hundred years, we haven't made the slightest progress, and it's the Council of Elders system that has dragged down the family.

I am willing to go to the top of Qingcang Mountain in person and explain the benefits to my grandfather, who may support the establishment of a patriarch. ”

Ling Jieran said helplessly: "Okay, ninth brother, you say, what do you want to do?"

Ling Jiexin did want to establish a patriarch, but it was definitely not now, because he had not yet had the strength to subdue the elders.

The reason why he proposed to establish a patriarch at this time was just to use this as a threat to make several elders compromise with his own reform.

"Starlings should know what I want to do, which is to restructure. ”

"Impossible!"

Ling Yuanxiang immediately said.

Ling Jieran said: "What Yuan Xiang said is right, it is impossible to restructure, but you can make some attempts first." ”

He understood that if he didn't make some concessions today, Ling Jiexin would really dare to go to the top of Qingcang Mountain to meet Ling Chuyun, Ling Chuyun didn't agree to the establishment of the patriarch, but once he agreed, the rights of these elders would be gone forever.

Of course, Ling Chuyun would never let Ling Jiexin be the patriarch, otherwise he would inevitably promote the reform of the Cangli Ling clan, so the patriarch would most likely choose one person from the five rooms other than the long room and the third room.

But Ling Jieran couldn't be sure that this kind of good thing would fall on his head, on the second room, and the other homeowners present were not sure, they didn't dare to risk it with real power.

Ling Jiexin also knew that there was too much resistance to a comprehensive restructuring at this time, so he nodded and agreed with Ling Jieran's idea.

Seeing him nodding, Ling Jieran looked at everyone and said, "Which of the old and new systems is better or worse?" None of us knows, so let's make an attempt to test the advantages and disadvantages of the two systems. ”

Several elders nodded in agreement, and Ling Yuanxiang asked, "Eighth Uncle, don't know how to test it?"

Ling Jieran thought for a while, "Let's try to compare the children of the character generation with the children of the character generation, so as to compare the advantages and disadvantages of the new and old systems." ”

Ling Yuanxiang said: "Eighth uncle, this is not fair, there are characters who have the genius of the ice spirit root, how can the characters be compared." ”

Ling Jieran nodded, "What Yuanxiang said is also good, then compare the children of the two generations as a whole, follow the old system if the character is strong, and reform the system if the character is strong." ”

He looked at Ling Jiexing, "Ninth brother, what do you think?"

"Uncle Jiu, you won't be afraid of losing, right?"

"Jokes, I've never been afraid of Ling Jiexin, I'll bet with you. ”

"Since the ninth brother agreed, then we will continue the discussion. ”

Hearing this, the elders nodded.

"For the sake of guarding Hiroka Island, who will guard Yellow Crab Island?"

"Starling, I'm still in charge of Yellow Crab Island, and you are in charge of Cangli Island. ”

Ling Jieran nodded, "It's okay, you're still young, and it's safer for you to sit on Yellow Crab Island." ”

The reason why he wanted to sit on Yellow Crab Island was because he had his purpose, but he didn't say it.

"Red Carp Island is very important to the family, at least it must be guarded by monks in the middle of the foundation, who will come?"

There is a miniature spirit stone vein on Red Carp Island, and forty percent of the annual income of the Cangli Ling clan comes from that miniature spirit stone vein, so Red Carp Island must not be lost.

Fortunately, Red Carp Island is only one hundred and twenty miles away from Cangli Island, and there is a monk in the middle stage of foundation building to guard it, and with the large array on the island, even if it can't block the enemy, it can hold out until the support from Cangli Island arrives.

"Eighth uncle, let's come with me. ”

"Hmm. ”

Ling Yuansheng is an alchemist, Ling Yuancheng is a refiner, and under normal circumstances, both of them are located on Cangli Island.

"Yuanqi Yuanxing, which of the two of you is in charge of Tieli Island?"

Tieli Island is overgrown with first-order high-grade spiritual planting Tieli wood, which is hard and is an important material for building sea ships, and one percent of the annual income of the Cangli Ling clan comes from it.

Tie Li Wood that has reached the second order will give birth to Tie Li Wood Heart, which can be used to refine spiritual weapons.

Fortunately, Tieli Island is closer to Cangli Island, only eighty-three miles, and it is enough to have a monk in the early stage of foundation building.

In the world of cultivating immortals, demon beasts, spirit plants, spirit insects, etc., are all characterized by the grade of adulthood, but they can still develop to a higher level, among which spirit plants are the most important.

For example, when Tielimu reaches the first-order high-grade adulthood, it is determined that the iron-powerwood is a first-order high-grade spiritual plant, but as time goes by, the longer the Tiepowerwood lives, its grade will break through to the second-order, which is the third-order......

Of course, Tie Limu must also be promoted to the next realm before the longevity is exhausted, otherwise he will die of old age.

"I'd better go. ”

"Okay, let Yuanxing go to guard Tieli Island. ”

"Dengfeng Island needs a monk in the middle of foundation building to guard it, so let Yuanqing go. ”

There is also a miniature spirit stone vein on Dengfeng Island, but that miniature spirit stone vein is not all owned by the Cangli Ling clan, but by the two Jindan families and the eight Zhuji families in the Liuyun Islands.

Because Dengfeng Island is not on the territory of the two Jindan families, the two families each account for a thirty percent share, and the two Jindan families each need to send a mid-foundation monk to guard Dengfeng Island, and the eight foundation building families need to send a total of three foundation building monks to guard it.

Ling Yuanqing is Ling Jieran's direct junior, so he directly made the decision for her and let her guard Dengfeng Island.

After the major events are arranged, some small things are arranged, and the elders' meeting is over.
