Chapter 634: The idea of starting a family
"Wouldn't this mean that the family would be divided?" Huang Shi said, "A big family relies on having a large number of people to unite the clan members.
Once the family is separated, won’t the family break up? "
Qin An smiled and said: "Mr. Huang Shi, if it were in the past, your understanding was correct, and some families, in order to maintain the purity of their bloodline, would hold all marriages within the clan.
But after I came, this concept was wrong.
Last time, Lao Gan and the others asked my family if they wanted to stop it. I said no, just let it form naturally.
Just why? "
Gan Mao said: "Sir, it is useless to stop it, because this is a trend."
"Yes, this is the trend, because in traditional Chinese culture, the family is an important social unit, and the continuation of the family is regarded as a responsibility and mission.
No matter you are a big family or an individual, it is your responsibility and mission to continue the generation of future generations. If a country wants to be strong, it relies on countless small families to form the big family of the country.
If the family does not continue, the country will inevitably decline.
However, when a family is divided, only the family's industry is divided, not the family's culture and spirit. "
Qin An paused, looked at everyone and said, "If you want to build a thousand-year-old family, you must first form a professional inheritance management system within the family.
For example, a family has a patriarch, elders, genealogy, decision-making mechanism, management mechanism, etc.
What they manage is the family's property, the family's main property, not the private property of the younger generations.
Therefore, families also need to be able to continuously create family assets and family industries that can be effectively passed on.
For example, I want to create a family, but I am alone, and then I married three wives and gave birth to three sons for me.
Then I built many industries, including steel workshops, pen and ink paper workshops, shipyards, salt plants, garment factories, etc.
When the three children grow up, I will let them get married and have children, and then start their own businesses. I will give each of them a workshop as start-up capital.
A capable person will carry forward my property, but sometimes I leave all my property to him.
Of course, if I live long and one of my grandchildren or great-grandchildren stands out as a genius, then I will hand over the property to my grandchildren or great-grandchildren.
I will not give the inheritance to anyone just because he is the eldest son. I will only give the inheritance to those who are capable.
However, I will set up rules and systems and tell all my Qin clan members that as long as his name is recorded in the genealogy, he will have the right to inherit, and everyone will.
Even if thousands or tens of thousands of years have passed, all the descendants of the Qin family in the genealogy will have the right to inherit.
At the same time, the profits produced by the family's industry must be used within the family.
If someone's business fails, help if you can, but there are also situations where you won't help. For example, you won't help those who are lazy and lazy, you won't help those who endanger the country and the people, you won't help those who robbed others by force, etc.
I will not interfere with the whereabouts of the children. And I will definitely ask my children to leave my side and go out into the world after they get married. "
"What if their attempt fails?" Huang Shi asked.
"Mr. Huang Shi, failure is a valuable life experience. I would be afraid if things went smoothly all the time." Qin An said, "I am used to having things go smoothly. Once I fail, I may not be able to get up for the rest of my life. Even if I get up, this time Failure can also become an inner demon, and once it comes time to make a major decision, you will be hesitant.
In life, you are not afraid of failure, but you are afraid of being unable to recover after failure.
Therefore, my descendants must go out and have their own adventures when they grow up. The purpose is to accumulate the essence of society and let them know that there are people outside the world and there is a heaven outside the world. "
"I've learned a lesson." Huang Shi said, "Sir's arrangement may seem like family separation, but it is actually creating opportunities for the family and future generations. Regardless of whether the future generations have the ability or not, it all depends on their destiny. In the future, you will still help them. of.
And the genealogy
The presence of their names proves that they are descendants of your Qin family.
Even if they are at the end of the world. "
"Yes." Qin An said, "As long as the descendants give birth to offspring and add their names to the ancestral temple, they will be members of my Qin family.
It doesn't matter whether you live in the main house or not.
Moreover, I wish that the people of the Qin clan would settle in various parts of the world. In this way, the descendants of my Qin clan would be immortal. As for the future, no one can say for sure.
There are also talents. The Millennium Family is not just talking about it, there are a lot of talents in the family.
Therefore, if I want to create a thousand-year family, I must make everyone in the future generations like a dragon. Even if they are dull in talent, I will let them achieve something in one aspect. "
"Sir, if the Bai family wants to become a thousand-year-old family, can they all go out on their own like Sir?" Bai Siqi asked.
Qin An nodded and said, "Okay. But does your Bai family have an industry? It's not like land, but an industry that can continuously create value.
For example, if you have a garment factory like me, what does your Bai family have? "
Bai Siqi thought for a moment and said, "The Bai family has a caravan."
"Huh? Does the Bai family have a caravan?" Ying Zheng asked.
He really didn't know about this.
Bai Siqi immediately said: "Yes, the last time Lao Feng organized a caravan, a junior in the family also organized one, and the number of people was much less than Lao Feng's. And because I didn't organize it, the number of people in the caravan was only Five hundred people."
"I see. No wonder I didn't hear about it. There were many caravans formed at that time." Ying Zheng nodded slightly.
Although there is registration with the government, many are registered in the name of the family, but some are also registered in their own name.
The descendants of the Bai family must be registered in their own names.
Qin An said: "You have an industry, right? Is there any management method? For example, if you have something important to announce, how do you inform your tribe?"
"Sir, do you have any good ideas?" Bai Siqi shook his head.
In the past, when he said hello, except for a few people in the army, everyone who could come would arrive at the scene without thinking too much.
But after separation, it is difficult to notify.
Qin An said: "This requires you to set rules. Even if the family is separated, the clan members will still regard the family as their important responsibility and will not abandon the family for their own selfish interests.
But there are also people like this. I have watched them on TV a lot, but none of them ended well.
So, Lao Bai. I suggest that when you go back, you inform your tribe and let them come up with rules and regulations.
Also, once the family is separated, your prestige as the head of the family will drop a lot. "
"It doesn't matter, for the sake of the family, everything is a small problem." Bai Siqi said.
Gan Mao on the side didn't take it seriously. He felt that dividing the family was not a good thing, but it was still okay to let the tribesmen go out and have troubles.
