Small is home, big is country.

Governing the country and governing the family are actually the same.

Governing the family with the method of governing the country may not be the best way to govern the family, but it must be a very useful method.

He set the deacons and elders of the Zhou family as seven, and dealt with different things in seven aspects, which not only clarified the rights and responsibilities, but also improved the efficiency of work, and the benefits of this can be seen as long as a smart person is a smart person.

Under this mechanism, in fact, the biggest damage is still the patriarch of the family.

Originally, in the Zhou family, all big and small patriarchs could decide in one word, and in all aspects, whoever the patriarch wanted to do, let whoever did it, as long as that person had the identity of an elder.

But now, it is the situation where the Seven Elders and the Patriarch govern the family together.

Because the status of the deacons and elders in the family is equal to that of the foundation monks, that is, the patriarchs, and they do not have the power to appoint and dismiss them at will, they also need to give convincing reasons for the decisions they make to govern in order to refute and fight back.

According to the rules formulated by Zhou Yang, deacons and elders must first be nominated and recommended by their clansmen, and before taking office, their cultivation must not be lower than the ninth level of Qi cultivation, and their age must not be higher than 110 years old and not less than 60 years old.

Then every monk of the Zhou family who wants to run for the relevant deacon elders, after going through the layers of tests of the patriarch and other foundation elders and Taishang elders, there is still a probationary period of up to three years, and the probationary period is really over before they are qualified.

Under such layers of screening, it is almost guaranteed that the selected deacons and elders will not be mediocre people who know nothing about professional business.

In order to remove the deacon elder from the status of the elder, except for the Supreme Elder, who can be dismissed by a word, the patriarch can only suspend a certain deacon elder from his position for a maximum of one month.

Then either ask the elder to remove the deacon from his position directly, or he can gather other deacons and elders and monks to explain the deacon's mistakes in front of these people, and initiate a vote to decide whether to remove the deacon elder from his office.

It can be said that as long as Zhou Yang, the Supreme Elder, can keep himself, this system can be called "perfect".

As for if he can't keep himself...... This doesn't need to be thought about at all.

To sum up, the appearance of the deacon elders has weakened the power of the patriarch and enhanced the power of the original elders, which is a good and bad thing for all the Zhou family elders who now have the cultivation of the ninth level of Qi cultivation.

Regardless of seniority, if you only talk about ability, who will admit that you are inferior to others?

What's more, even if they don't become deacons and elders, with their cultivation, they can continue to receive office subsidies if they enter one of the seven governing bodies and serve as a deputy hall master and deacon, right?

Therefore, after Zhou Yang finished saying his opinion, the original Zhou family elders quickly agreed with this opinion after some discussion, and the matter was completely settled.

After deciding this matter, Zhou Yang looked at the Zhou family monk in the council hall and said in a deep voice: "Finally, let's talk about the family style!"

"I also heard recently that as the territory occupied by our Zhou family is getting bigger and bigger, there are more and more family monks, especially after I was promoted to the Purple Mansion Period, some monks in the family have begun to use the reputation of the family to do some things that damage the public and private interests!

"Several generations of our Zhou family have paid for their lives, their youth, and everything!"

"In exchange for the family's current take-off and prosperity!"

"Now, now that the bones of those elders are not cold, there are people who do not hesitate to ruin the foundation and reputation that their ancestors have built up for their own selfish interests!"

"I will never tolerate this kind of thing!"

"I'm putting my words here today, as long as I'm alive for a day, as long as I'm still in charge of the Zhou family, I will never tolerate any Zhou family member doing those things that are traitors and corrupt family morals!"

Rumble!

A colossal momentum, as Zhou Yang's powerful words fell, suddenly rose from his body, pressing down on the Zhou family monks in the council hall to change color, and the atmosphere did not dare to take a breath.

This is the first time that Zhou Yang has overwhelmed people within the family like this after succeeding as the head of the Zhou family.

In the past, no matter how angry he was, he would not do this, because at that time, when a family meeting was held, there would be a group of family elders here, and if he relied on his cultivation status to suppress people, it would be a great disrespect to the elders.

But now that the old patriarch Zhou Minghan has passed away, Zhou Xuanhao can't get out of his seat in Chihuling, and the monks in this hall today are all Zhou Yang's peers and descendants.

In this case, using power to suppress people can make these people really understand his determination, and really leave an extremely deep impression on these people, so that they will remember the reason why Zhou Yang oppresses people with power for decades to come.

At this moment, Zhou Yang's momentum overwhelmed all the Zhou family members in the hall, and he looked at everyone with a straight face and shouted:

"I am here today to tell you that, as the patriarch, I have no objection to you making use of your family and my name to make friends with people when you go out to travel. ”

"But if anyone dares to rely on this to forcibly seize the treasure of the spirit stone from outsiders, or even bully men and women to kill people and seize treasures as evil, I, Zhou Yang, will deal with one person, and if I find a hundred people, I will deal with one hundred people, and I will never tolerate and let one person go!"

"I don't force you to take the initiative to do good deeds to improve the reputation and family style of the Zhou family, but if anyone dares to be a traitor and ruin the reputation of the family, don't blame me Zhou Yang for not talking about family affection, regardless of the situation, personally took your head to make amends to the victims, and warn the clansmen!"

The shouting roared like thunder, rolling in the council hall and shaking people's eardrums.

All the people of the Zhou family in the council hall heard from his cheers that they could not be disobeyed and questioned.

So after he finished speaking, no one dared to question him like before, but they all kept their mouths shut and did not dare to say a word.

Zhou Yang is usually very amiable and has a good temper, and he does not put on a big show in front of his clansmen as a cultivator.

But when he released the momentum of the Purple Mansion Monk, no one could ignore and dare not ignore the fact that he was a Purple Mansion Monk.

The fact is that once the Purple Mansion Stage Cultivators make a decision, it is definitely not something that they, the Foundation Building Cultivators and Qi Cultivation Stage Cultivators, can influence and change.

So Zhou Yang's decision, of course, was unanimously approved without a doubt.

As soon as this matter was passed, Zhou Yang's purpose of convening this clan meeting was achieved.

Therefore, he quickly regained his momentum, waved his hand lightly, and said: "Okay, that's all for today's clan discussion, about the matter of selecting deacon elders, you go back and think about which elder you are suitable for and then go to Guangxiang to register, and after the one-month registration time has passed, how to proceed in the future, there will be news to you!"

"Another point, after you go out, remember to convey the content of today's clan discussion to all the clansmen as soon as possible, especially the establishment of integrity, kindness, diligence and thrift, and honesty and family style, and focus on publicity, and must let all clansmen know that this is an iron law that cannot be violated!"

After saying that, his body moved, and he was the first to leave the council hall.

The content of this meeting quickly spread throughout the Zhou family.

After hearing the content of the meeting, some of the Zhou monks were happy, some were afraid, and some seemed to have made some important decision with a determined face.

Zhou Yang also postponed his practice afterwards, and was busy with Zhou Guangxiang for the selection of deacons and elders.

According to Zhou Yang's idea, the position of deacon elder is very important, and once selected, it is best not to replace it for at least ten or twenty years.

So when it comes to choosing deacons and elders, he gives priority to those who are younger.

Of course, in order to accommodate the sentiments of his contemporaries, it was certainly not possible to appoint all young people to serve as deacons and elders.

After half a year of busy work, the selection of the first generation of deacons and elders was finally decided.

They are Zhou Yuanpeng, the elder of Chuangong, Zhou Yuanchang, the elder of internal affairs, Zhou Yuanliang, the elder of general affairs, Zhou Guangyun, the elder of finance, Zhou Guangkun, the elder of law enforcement, Zhou Guangtai, the elder of public security, and Tan Qiu, the elder of foreign affairs.

It happened to be three "Yuan" monks and three "Guang" monks, plus a relative monk, and Zhou Guangyun, a female elder.

After the election of these deacons and elders, the establishment of seven governing bodies soon followed.

According to the results of Zhou Yang's consultation with these elders, the total number of the seven ruling bodies should not exceed half of the total number of family monks.

In this way, based on the current number of monks in the Zhou family is close to 200, the final result is that the number of people in the Chuangong Hall, the Internal Affairs Hall, and the Foreign Affairs Hall is tentatively set at 5 people, the Punishment Hall, the General Affairs Hall, and the Finance Hall are all set at 7 people, and the number of people in the Public Security Hall is the largest, with 10 people.

For those in these governing bodies, the minimum requirement for cultivation is the middle stage of Qi training, and then they can receive an additional 50 contribution point subsidy per year as a deacon, and an additional 100 contribution point subsidy per year as a deputy hall master.

Of course, there are rewards and punishments, and although you can get a job allowance for serving in the seven halls, if you do not do your job well, or if you find dereliction of duty in the assessment and inventory of the internal affairs hall, you will not only have to deduct the subsidy, but you will even be punished with annual benefits.

Zhou Yang didn't need to ask about the recruitment of personnel in each hall, and it was handed over to the hall masters of each hall to recruit, and he only needed to sign it at the end.

And after these seven halls began to operate, not only could he, the patriarch, have a lot less to do, but Zhou Guangxiang, who had been arrested by him to deal with family affairs, could finally return to the cave mansion to retreat and impact the third-order array mage.

Of course, it is impossible for Zhou Yang to be really idle, even if he doesn't deal with family affairs, the things above are enough for him to arrange his time to the fullest.

Like the cultivation task he set for himself after he was promoted to the Purple Mansion, he couldn't complete it at all without ten or twenty years.

However, this kind of busyness in completing the task of cultivation, he is happy in it, and he is happy with it.

Because every time he completes a task on cultivation, he can unlock and master new supernatural powers, which directly and greatly improves his strength.
