Ye Qing only returned to Yejiazhuang on the fifth day.

That night, after dinner, I invited Ye Zifan for a walk.

Away for a period of time, the scenery here has changed again, originally densely leaning on the uneven terrain to build a series of houses of different sizes, now a large number of poor clansmen and family children have divided the fields, migrated out of the Lu, the whole Yejiazhuang can leave is the middle class, row upon row to build a wide house, planted with acacia, elm, willow

At this time, the sun is setting in the west, the sunset is red like blood, the houses, archways, and pavilions are plated with a layer of red light, listening to the children chasing and playing, there is really a feeling of being separated from the world.

Ye Zifan saw that the young family master had been silent, and asked with a smile: "Qing'er, are you thinking about going to the Dragon Palace?"

"The matter of the Dragon Palace is easy to say, and it is generally a matter of course. Ye Qing came back to his senses and smiled: "I'm thinking about the family's business." ”

"Family, is there any other problem?" Ye Zifan smiled: "Those who have no land have land, and those who have no money have money, everyone is very happy, it is all Qing'er's merits." ”

Ye Qing smiled: "At this time, it is thriving for a while, I won't sweep everyone's interest, but what about the future?"

Ye Zifan was stunned, he couldn't imagine that Ye Qing was thinking about such a long-term situation, so he restrained his smile and pondered: "In my opinion, in the long run, there will always be ups and downs in any family, this is the will of God." ”

"As for the individual, let alone my family, even if it is a prince and a prince, the children of the clan, some are glorious and rich, some are dilapidated, and they sell rice and straw shoes. ”

"What you said is not wrong, there is no way to do it, but we must not simply look at the will of God, but also do our best. Ye Qing said.

In my heart, I remembered the last time I reported on the earth in my previous life.

The vast majority of family wealth comes from the institution they own, rather than from inheritance, and families that divide wealth between generations tend to lose their wealth.

Families that centralize the wealth formation system are three times more likely to remain wealthy than those who divide their wealth.

Forbes reported that eighty percent of Europe's wealthy families can pass on their wealth for 100 years, and thirty percent for 150 years, which is an astonishing result.

In a word: the system

There are many people in the family who have family rules, but there are very few of them that have really established a system.

Just thinking about it, Ye Zifan asked: "I want to hear about it." ”

As the two were talking, they suddenly heard a heavy thunder, and then a gust of wind came, and when they looked west, they saw the dark clouds rolling, and the sunset turned into layers, and in a moment, the garden pavilion was shrouded in a dark twilight.

"The rain is coming. Ye Qing went up the steps, and the raindrops were already falling overwhelmingly, and it was getting dark, and the lights under the courtyard porch were lit.

Ye Qing was not in a hurry, took a slow walk, and said: "Xiangtian Hall has always been in the hands of Mr. Lu, and I intend to give up this position to the clansmen. ”

These words were shocking, and Ye Zifan couldn't help but look sideways.

This is a good thing in the clan, but even Ye Zifan admires Lu Shangjing's conscientiousness and dedication to doing things, and now Ye Qing said "give way", he snorted and said: "Mr. Lu is indeed diligent in his work, and he often sleep......s in the middle of the night."

"You're thinking nonsense, I didn't mean that" Ye Qing smiled: "I mean, now that I'm the general of the blessed land, if there is no big mistake, it will not be difficult to go further." ”

"Now Mr. Lu has a lot of things to do, plus the affairs of Xiangtian Hall are too busy, and I often stay up late, I am anxious when I see this, if I make progress in the future, there will be more things, and it will not work like this. ”

"In addition, it is advisable to separate private and public affairs, Mr. Lu is in charge of the affairs of the public family, and the family affairs belong to the clansmen, so I have this meaning. ”

When Ye Zifan heard this, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, thought about it for a while, and said: "This makes sense, now that your career is getting bigger and bigger, it is time to separate." ”

Ye Qing shook his head: "That's why I want to change it, of course, the rights of the Xiangtian Department must be changed, register the land property of the whole clan, coordinate to ensure the smooth inheritance of the land and property of each house, help the clan to buy the land property, deal with the government and obtain certain exemptions, and not be bullied by outsiders, it is its responsibility"

Ye Zifan, who said this, nodded again and again.

"I also intend to upgrade the Fengli room to the hall, which is in charge of the ancestral field, the household registration of the whole clan, birth, marriage, pension, funeral, and ethnicity. ”

"All the children in the clan can get free schooling, and I mean that in addition to the enlightenment, they also learn more arithmetic, which is always useful. ”

"There are thousands of people in the whole family, and there are many children, which is not a small expense. When Ye Zifan heard this, he thought that this was a good thing, and frowned slightly.

It's nothing else, but this school is a heavy burden.

"The expenses come from the ancestral field, and I will allocate the field to the ancestral field. ”

"And after completing the enlightenment, not all of them continue to enroll, and they are divided into three grades according to their quality and academic performance, and they are given the way to farming, business, and study. ”

"Shaofu Fang is also promoted to the department, registers the commercial property of the whole clan, coordinates to ensure the smooth inheritance of the commercial property of each house, helps the clan to buy and establish commercial property, and deals with the government, and obtains certain exemptions, if the clan sells the commercial property, it will be preferentially acquired under the same conditions. ”

"Those who follow the path of a merchant in ethnology can first practice under the arrangement of the Shaofu Department. ”

Ye Zifan nodded again and again, thinking intently about these institutions, and saw that the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and turned his face and asked, "Is there anything else?"

"It is also essential to convey the orders of the patriarchs, supervise the clan property, make judgments according to the family law, and collect the clan silver according to the clan rules. ”

"There are rewards and punishments for the three ways of farming, business, and studying, and if you can't get a child in school, you will naturally retire when you are old, and you will no longer get support from the clan. ”

"The key is one of the points, in the future, the clan will be divided into four types: the chief, the deacon, and the record. ”

"The children of the clan can choose a piece that they are willing to join, and at the same time bear their own obligations and pay the clan silver, the specific amount is negotiated by the clan, I generally think that one farmer and three merchants are relatively appropriate. ”

"There is no contribution to the clan, and there is no achievement in itself, joining is a child, and a childish has no right to be promoted. ”

"If a child can start a business on his own, get ten acres of land in farming, build a small shop in business, or earn a hundred taels of silver, and get a child in school, he can become a clerk, and he has the right to be promoted, and he can be promoted to a deacon in the clan. ”

"Clerks and deacons have special pension silver. ”

"The head of the house can be appointed by the patriarch, but the deacons of each hall must be from the hall, which is to avoid the future head of the family from arbitrarily placing people, and will only loot and not operate. ”

"The patriarch of the Clan Hall can be placed at will. ”

As soon as these words fell, I saw that the small stream in the clan changed again, turning red, slightly yellow, this red was different from before, full of vitality, Ye Qing couldn't help but move in his heart - this is a sign that the clan is coming to the future

Ye Qing said this, it is not false, this is a tried and tested policy in a certain time and space, and it completely copies the terms of success.

At the beginning of a certain dynasty, there was a small clan, the grandfather was a Confucian student of the former dynasty, and the ancestral home was near Taiyuan, Shanxi Province to Hebei, according to the prediction, the family was very poor within 0 years, the clan was gray, and the day and night were not guaranteed, and there was no show.

And there is a cyan god, who was ordered to experiment, and the system was turned into the patriarch at that time, and he was given the fourteen-character mantra of "storing land and property to consolidate the foundation, and studying and seeking career to upgrade", and gave 50 taels of silver to start the capital

The patriarch was very excited, and after discussing with several clan elders, he bought all the land for 50 taels of silver, saving some family business for his children and grandchildren in the future, and the people in the clan pooled money and asked Mr. to teach the children

In the past 30 years, there have been many children in the clan, but there is no talent, there are no disputes in the clan, and it is quite harmonious, and the clan is well-known for its unity in the surrounding ten miles

They went out to make a living, ran a clan school, and many of them who did not pass the examination went out to do business, and many died in other places.

If you go out to do business, you may offend people, you will be completely bankrupt, you will die on the way before you can reach the clan, or you will be robbed by robbers and left out.

There are also many people who have made a profit and embarked on the road of doing business, and some of the money from these profits is sent back to the clan and put together to open a clan school.

And in the 54th year after the ignition of the cyan god, a disciple of the clan was admitted to Xiucai, but failed to pass the exam, and the whole clan celebrated, and the clansmen who were doing business in other places also returned

After more than 10 years of operation, relying on the strength of the clan, he became the main man, and at the same time became the patriarch, pulling many clansmen to act as small officials, and reaping a lot of benefits for himself and the clan.

At this time, the fortune of the clan is pale and a little gray.

Since then, the clan has always adhered to the accumulation of land and property, and the unsatisfactory clansmen also have food and land to plant, which has been a very strong life in ancient times, so it is more united.

In the next 100 years, the family began to have some scale, the clan spirit is pale to white, has affected the county, and has been tempted and suppressed by other Jin merchants, because of unity, several temptations and suppression have survived, and the Jin business circle also recognizes that this clan is qualified to participate - although it is the oldest, the youngest group

And then it kept this inertia and gradually grew.

In 150 years, the clan has been pale red, this clan in the county is already a standard strong, poor background, nouveau riche, but very united, if it is not for the fact that there are many people in this clan, some literary style, has long been rejected by the local mainstream society, and at this time, the words of the patriarch of this clan have a lot of weight in the county, and the county order should also be considered

The standard of living is good, even if the clansmen who are far away do not give people with foreign surnames to work for long periods of time, they all have land to plant, the old people will also have food, and if the children are unexpectedly gone, the clan will also manage (the clan pension), because they could afford it at that time, many people went into business and became local tyrants

In 200 years, the most intense time was close to pure red, there were 3,000 people in the whole clan, and there were clansmen serving as officials in the county and several surrounding counties.

The capital business follows a few, from the south to the south of the Yangtze River and the north to the Inner Mongolia line, and a national network has been formed.

Then he went up to heaven to listen, and suddenly he was beaten by the imperial court, and the whole environment began to fall into ruin from the imperial court, and business was completely shattered.

After the unanimous decision of the clan elders, patriarchs and Xiucaishang, the whole clan dispersed to all parts of the country, more than a dozen people together, and the business was broken, but a large number of assets were still retained

Divided into small units scattered all over the country, they hold their assets, rely on their old connections and connections to keep in touch, and meet with the whole clan every other year

At this time, the fortune of the clan was thick white, not red, and at this time it was also close to the end of the imperial court, and at the time of change in history, this clan also left a mark.

This clan originally had a poor history of 0 years, and only a talent came out in 50 years, which shows that the quality is very poor, but it proves for the first time that if the family relies on the system, it can continue to be angry and gradually ascend, if it is not suppressed by the imperial court, it can go further.

This is a sensational historical report in that time and space, combined with the Forbes report of the earth in a certain time and space, which really corroborates each other and reveals the light of truth.

Therefore, the quantity of strength is the first, the system is the second, and the so-called land wealth and even talents are the third.

"If you follow this rule, I'm afraid that the qi of the whole clan will change again. Ye Zifan listened carefully, couldn't help but be moved, thought for a long time, and said: "If someone doesn't want to join?"

"If you don't want to join, you won't be able to get benefits and opportunities, and you can worship your ancestors as usual. Ye Qing smiled: "The flight of the blue fly is not more than a few martial arts, and the tail of the attached can reach thousands of miles, they will have their own choice"

Speaking of this, neither of them said a word, only to see that the rain had thinned again, and several pavilions were shrouded in smoke and rain, adding a bit of melancholy to the twilight.

Ye Zifan could see it, a smile appeared on his old face, and wrinkles hung deeply.

Ye Qing sighed, Ye Zifan has aged very quickly in the past few years, and the scandal back then really broke his heart, so he immediately cut to the chase: "Uncle, I want to ask you to prepare for these clan affairs to be changed, and the chief deacon will make a decision on all matters." ”

Ye Zifan came back to his senses, smiled, and said in a gentle and faint tone: "You are a genius of my clan that has not been born for a hundred years, and most of the lives in the clan are in you, so come according to your proposition, I am old, but I can still resettle you in the past few years." ”

"Don't worry, no one can disagree with you, if there is, it's not our Ye family's people"

With a hint of murderous aura, Ye Qing was silent for a while, stood up, and immediately bowed to express his gratitude: "The family affairs will be entrusted to my uncle." ”

In the early days, Ye Qing had to grasp the power of the clan, but now, the clan is already a family affair, and it can no longer really be on the table.

It can be said that Ye Qing's retention of this system is the greatest contribution to the clan.

At this time, the wind and rain were coming, and Ye Qing stood with his hands in his hands, his clothes fluttering, and his depressed eyes looked at the continuous fields filled with smoke and rain.

In a trance, it seems to be in a painting, and it seems to be in a dream.
