Nongmen Jinfeng: Cold-noodled husband and little daughter-in-law

Chapter 1326 Their Clan Elders Are More Than Their Clan Members

If a consensus cannot be reached, all males over the age of 16 have the right to vote or speak.But the final decision is still in the hands of the twelve clan elders, and the voting rights and speaking rights of all clan members are only for reference.

Under such regulations, it is equivalent to decentralizing power, and at the same time respecting the opinions of all parties, it belongs to everyone to jointly manage this family affairs.

This also puts an end to the situation where one person is in charge of the house, others have no right to speak, and they are bullied and dare not speak out.

Although this is an era when the monarch is in power, the monarch has to go to court every day to listen to the courtiers' reports, proposals, suggestions and even disputes, and finally make a decision as a reference.

Therefore, Fang Xiaofu's proposal just refers to the actual situation in ancient times and the modern scientific voting system. Everyone has read the book and naturally understands the benefits of this method.

Moreover, the absence of a patriarch left room for the Fang clan to a certain extent, and it was not considered a head-on.If those people are sensible, they will let it go and avoid continuing confrontation.

As for other problems, let's put them aside for the time being and leave them to future generations to solve. There are not many people who live to be a hundred years old, so who can control life after life?
After reaching a consensus on the Fang Clan Guild in Fangshan Village, the elders of the twelve clans were released soon. In order to avoid the situation where everyone voted too concentratedly, Fang Xiaofu also provided a small suggestion.

For the sake of fairness and justice, each family will produce one, but if the selected clan elder's moral behavior is really too outrageous and unreliable, it can be replaced after the trial.

This at least prevents their old two families from having a clan elder, and makes others feel that the power of the guild is still in the hands of the old Fang's family.

There were more than twelve families with the Fang surname in the village, and there are still many old men with good families who don't have to work hard in the fields.To pick twelve people to choose from is still very wide.

According to the suggestion, the village head should also be the elder of the clan, but the village head is in his prime, so he chose his father Fang Wende.Fang Wenxue, the eldest son of Grandma Wu, was also selected.

The old Fang's family is naturally the old man, because every family can only have one, and the second master was not selected.

The first batch of clan elders were naturally of the literate generation, and the list was released on the spot, and then everyone voted, and if they got [-]% of the votes, they could be elected, and if it was less than half, they would be elected.

The selection of clan elders was basically finalized without any problems, and the next step was to discuss the guild system and the scope of business.This is what adults do.

The younger generation sat in a circle to discuss how to protect the tax-free land, and the various possibilities in case of a head-to-head encounter.

Lu Yunxuan is also here.His suggestion is not to be too tough, and to deal with this matter with a posture of showing weakness when appropriate.

That is to say, don't write a letter to make this matter known to the whole world, so that those clansmen who are officials outside the country will lose face, and instead attract hatred, there will be no room for maneuver.

It is better to write a letter than to write a book.As the children of the Fang family, jointly send a request letter to all those officials.

If they privately persuade the clan to return the tax-free land, everyone will be happy.Even if you ignore it or reply to reprimand, it can be regarded as the first courtesy and then the soldiers, and you can find countermeasures.

Everyone thought it made sense when they heard it. Their performance in the clan today is still too tough, and they are a little too hot-blooded.If those old men are really angry and sick, the matter will not be good.

Then Lu Yunxuan offered a few more suggestions for how to deal with it. Everyone listened carefully, and their mentality changed from anger to calmness.

One night, the two sides held a meeting and then summarized the results of each other's meetings, and everyone was in agreement.

The scope of affairs of the elders of the twelve clans and the guild has been determined, and the detailed rules and handling methods are left to be gradually improved later.And these are the next things for the newly released elders of the twelve clans.

Their office is also over the main hall.Originally, another place should be opened, but many people said that the person surnamed Fang in Fangshan Village was originally from Fangshan Village, and there was nothing to hide.

The most important thing is that they should have a more harmonious and natural reconciliation between the guild and the village, instead of forming a guild but being separated, alienated, or even conflicted with the village.

It is a problem that everyone is aware of to avoid differentiation and affect the overall prosperity of the entire Fangshan Village.It is also necessary to prevent the problems of the clan from continuing to their side.

As for the guild's two primary issues at present, one is to improve the management system and scope of affairs, and the other is to discuss the issue of worshiping ancestors during the Chinese New Year.

Since he decided to leave, the ancestor worship in the clan would definitely not be participatory, and would be held in his own village in the future, anyway, there are ancestor cards.

It's just that the family traces back further, and theirs are only the generations they know, such as ancestors, great ancestors, ancestors, and grandpas.

It is also because of this that each family has so many ancestor cards, but not many have a common ancestor, because everyone is decomposed from side branches...

That night, Fang Zizhan and the others came to talk to Fang Xiaofu about the meeting when they got home. Fang Xiaofu was drawing at the table, and couldn't help but smile after hearing what they said.

"The power of such a big family is in the hands of the patriarch and six clan elders. We form our own guild. Although there is no patriarch, there are twelve clan elders. The power is more dispersed and the affairs are easier to handle."

"That's right, there's also the subsequent voting decision system, isn't it more fair, just and open-minded than those in the clan." Fang Ziyuan also laughed.

They have more clan elders than the clan, and they are overwhelmed in momentum. What's more, the voting system behind them and the decision-making basis for everyone's joint management are stronger than the original ones in the clan.

Fang Zijian sighed, and said, "It's just that the matter of Yuan'er's genealogy has been slowed down. The village elder said that as long as the ancestor worship is carried out peacefully this year, the genealogy will be reshuffled in the name of the guild next year."

Fang Xiaofu curled his lips noncommittally.People in this era have a deep sense of family. Although there are many benefits to valuing the family, there are also many disadvantages.

How many people in this world don't even know their origins, how do they know which family they belong to?Don't they all live as biological children?

There are also those who are far away from their hometowns and families, those who have fled and settled down in foreign lands, and those who have been rejected by their families...

It is their Fangshan Village, although it was established by a side branch, there are many people with different surnames in the village, and I have never seen them marry a daughter-in-law or give birth to a son, so they have to travel thousands of miles back to the family to go to the family tree.

There is also the Su family in Daliu Village, which moved from a far away place. Could it be that Su Jing married a daughter-in-law and became an official, so he has to go back to the clan to worship the ancestors and clean up the family records?
Some people can go back once or twice in their life.

Of course, there are also cases where the ancestral property of the clan is confiscated due to being away all the year round, but it is probably rare for such a person and the tax-free land of the clan to be confiscated.
