Chapter 353: Young Patriarch
Compared with Tang Siyuan's efforts to stop it, Tang Zhi saw something deeper, and asked Tang Luo in a deep voice: "Taking the position of worship means that you will not be able to serve in the clan **, doesn't it matter?"
Whether a person has a deep meaning in doing something, as long as he understands the consequences of doing it, it is just that most people's exhortations in this world stay in the self-righteous part.
The main embodiment of this behavior is to subconsciously judge that the other party does not know the consequences of doing so, and the way of persuasion is to remind the other party that I have seen the consequences of your doing, but you only see the benefits of doing so, so I want to warn you, this is the fundamental reason why such admonitions cannot be effective.
And with Tang Zhi's wisdom, he naturally would not make such an arbitrary judgment, because Tang Luo's past performances would make people subconsciously think that this was a mature decision-maker, and such a person should know very well about the class identity of the various departments of the Tang Clan, not to mention the number of family treasures, so Tang Zhi just wanted to confirm again whether Tang Luo really understood the meaning of the position of worship.
Hearing the patriarch's words, Great Elder Tang Siyuan also reacted, fixing his eyes on Tang Luo's face, waiting for his answer.
"I naturally know what the enshrinement represents. Tang Luo replied calmly.
Hearing this affirmative answer, Tang Zhi's eyes flashed with a different color, thoughtful.
"Since you know, why do you insist on asking for this position of worship?" Tang Siyuan was particularly puzzled, although Tang Luo was not a genius, after all, he was young and still needed the help of the clan, why was he so unwise.
"Does the Great Elder think that when I get the position of worship, it means that I will leave the clan and live a free life, and no longer serve the family?" Tang Luo asked with a smile.
The biggest worry was directly pointed out, Tang Siyuan nodded without hesitation: "That's right, after you have the status of worship, you will no longer be able to intervene in any clan branch, and without the support of each branch, how can you serve the clan?"
Speaking of the discovery of Ji Fu this time, more than 30 powerhouses in the Fierce Realm were dispatched, as well as the first seat of the Martial Hall, the first seat of the Dark Thunder Hall, the patriarch, and the mountain chief almost invoked the high-end force of the entire Tang Clan, and the whole family worked together to have the current harvest, if Tang Luo is the identity of the worship, the first time the news is transmitted back to the clan, it will be taken over by the mountain chief or the patriarch, and the subsequent work has nothing to do with him, this is the difference.
Once the position of worship is placed on Tang Luo's head, he will not be able to hold any position in the clan in the future, and can only build his power from scratch, maybe it is nothing to those old people who have been in business all their lives, but the pressure on Tang Luo is too great. After all, how can the personal power built from scratch compare with the Tang clan, which has been developed for thousands of years.
Of course, Tang Luo knew what they thought about this, but he also had his own reasons.
"I don't agree with you on this matter. Tang Luo looked at Tang Zhi's thoughtful eyes and said, "In my opinion, the worship system was a last resort of the Tang clan patriarch and the elders, and its root cause is not in those who are unwilling to let their origins be handed over!"
This is not the first time he has questioned the rules of the Tang Clan, but unlike the last time the ban on cultivation was abolished, this time the Great Elder Tang Siyuan had already raised his eyebrows, but he still listened patiently to Tang Luo's next words.
"In the final analysis, the resources that the Tang clan has are too few! It's not just because the capable people are too greedy for power, but more than 100 fierce realm powerhouses are crowded in the middle of Xiling, how can they display their ambitions?" Tang Luo had grief in his eyes: "But even so, they are not willing to leave the Xiling Tang clan to seek another development, not only because they worship their ancestors, not only because the roots are here, but also because they are worried that their departure will take away the living force of the Tang clan, if the Tang and Mi clans start a war, it will put the clan in danger." ”
The clan has never been a clan, but a group created by countless people with the same root and surname, which family is not looking for talents, only a deformed force like the Tang clan will drag them down because they have been on the throne for too long and young people cannot display their ambitions.
The term of office of the patriarch is 20 years, the term of office of the mountain chief is 30 years, the term of office of the director is 50 years, the term of office of the chief is 50 years, the term of office of the first seat is 50 years, the term of office of the elder is 80 years, the term of office of the elder is 100 years, and the term of office of the elder is 100 years.
The people who retreated obviously still have ambitions that they don't have time to display, and the research has not been completed, but they must retreat and make way for the latecomers, to put it bluntly, because the territory of the Tang clan is too small, even if the new city is added, but the territory is 100 miles, the actual control of the territory is less than a million, dozens of villages and counties, and the only big city Xiling has to be ruled by the Mi clan.
For thousands of years, every patriarch of the Tang clan has worked hard to subdue or drive away the Mi clan, but there seems to be a master in the dark, and the strength of the two clans has reached a strange balance in the continuous climbing, resulting in a thousand years later, the Tang clan and the Mi clan are still-for-tat and do not give in to each other.
Although there are few collisions between the two clans in Xiling, but out of Xiling City, I don't know how many rogue bandits are pretended to be by the strong people of the two clans, and this kind of temptation has never stopped.
And the entanglement between the two clans for a whole thousand years, finally after the materials of the small spirit world were quietly sent into the arsenal, there was a meaning of seeing the clouds, hundreds of secret techniques were being screened in the secret art pavilion, thousands of sets of ancient spirit armor were re-refined, and there were countless materials, even if the existing Tang clan people were completely strengthened, crushing the Mi clan may not be able to do it, but it will definitely be able to win the battle.
Since dominating Xiling is already a certainty, it is time to start focusing on the future!
"With the strengthening of the Han Clan's treasure house, after the Tang Clan dominates Xiling, it must be to the cities on both sides of the Lingjiang River, Patriarch Mingjian, at that time, do you think that the family rule that is not allowed to serve is still necessary?"
As Tang Luo narrated, Tang Siyuan's face became darker and darker, but Tang Zhi's eyes became brighter and brighter.
The young patriarch of the Tang clan appreciates the young man in front of him more and more, those who do not seek the world are not enough to seek a moment, and those who do not plan the overall situation are not enough to seek a domain.
At this moment, he really felt that he and Tang Luo were the same kind of people: "The position of worship involves a lot, even if it is to be changed, it is not a matter of immediacy. ”
Tang Zhi's eyes were full of appreciation, and he asked Tang Luo again: "But the position of the young patriarch of the Tang clan has been vacant for two years, what does Elder Luo Zong think?"
A wealthy family like the Tang clan will generally select exceptionally outstanding ones among the young descendants as the next preparatory patriarch, and then the elder group will assign a lot of tasks to evaluate the young patriarch, and if they can pass the examination of the elder group, they will become official patriarch candidates.
Usually Zongzheng, the mountain chief, and the patriarch each nominate one person to compete according to their skills, but the strange thing is that in the past two years, the Tang clan does not seem to have any amazing governance talents, resulting in the position of the young patriarch has been vacant, and this time it was suddenly mentioned, but it was the patriarch Tang Zhi who threw an olive branch to Tang Luo.
