At the end of March, less than two months after the last ancestor worship, the Zhou clan held another ancestor worship ceremony.
The various branches and the tribesmen who were called back from other places were not dissatisfied at all, because they all knew the news about Zhou Bai's ennoblement. If the ancestors are happy, they will definitely receive bad luck. This ancestor worship will be an opportunity to increase their luck.
And many people still have a vague premonition that ancestor worship may no longer be held only once a year in the future. Scenes like today may still occur frequently.
Zhou Bai was already a Yunqiwei when he was only fifteen years old. Why should he be awarded a knighthood for his meritorious service when he is older? Also, he is already the chief criminal in a county, so it is not a delusion to win the title of Jinshi.
Belonging to the same clan, they both prosper and suffer. With this expectation for Zhou Bai's future and the care they may receive, it is logical for Zhou Bai to take over as the clan leader.
After all, the clan leader Zhou Mingxuan himself made his position clear, and the respected clan elders did not object.
A mere lowly Bai Ling imperial edict overcame all dissatisfaction, and a mere eighth-grade title was something that the villagers dreamed of.
Zhou Bai held the imperial edict in his hand and formally assumed the position of clan leader in the presence of all the clan members. He made the final decision on all matters in the Qunshi Hall.
"Meet the clan leader~"
In the uniform roar, Zhou Bai felt the luck of the whole clan coming to him from every branch of the family. When a clan is in power, the luck of the clan will be added to it.
In the book of luck, the luck on the figure is almost visible to the naked eye, and the luck is growing vigorously. The strands of white luck accumulate, and finally form a cloud cover to protect the whole body.
Taking this opportunity, Zhou Bai reiterated the clan rules without changing too many, but added many punishment and incentive measures.
For example, ethnic studies will pay heavily to reward those who rank first in the examinations. Those who pass the exams at the specified age will double the previous rewards.
Another example is the introduction of a family contribution point system, whereby ordinary clan members can be promoted to deacons by accumulating merit and contributions, and deacons can also be promoted to stewards.
All clan members are also allowed to make suggestions and supervise the improvement of clan affairs; anyone who has benefited and contributed to the family will be rewarded.
In a word, the capable ones are at the top and the mediocre ones are at the bottom.
The announcement of the new rules shocked the entire audience. Except for a few stubborn and conservative clan elders who looked unhappy, most of the clan members, especially the branch clan members, were extremely excited.
Frustrated, the tribesmen's luck kept going back and forth with the dilapidated net above their ancestral home. Perhaps it was the conferment of titles and ancestor worship that united people's hearts, or perhaps the new tribe leader's new rules inspired them.
The dilapidated net over the ancestral home is slowly being repaired, and wisps of family fortune are like needles and threads, busy shuttling through the gaps in the net.
Family law? !
This answer came to Zhou Bai's mind. Family laws and regulations are the bones, and family fortunes are the flesh. They can represent and embody the institutional strength of a family.
He had done some research after seeing this website before.
The state has national laws, the clan has clan rules, the Daxu Dynasty has an institutional legal network, and of course the small families below also have their own family legal network.
With the French Open, it means that your system can operate normally and keep moving forward.
When there is a slight impact of luck, the French Open can stop it without shaking the foundation of the system.
At present, the township clan's legal net does not have many supernatural powers. When it reaches the county tyrant level, the legal net supported by the red house can block evil spirits, and ordinary imps cannot persecute the children of county tycoons at all.
The family legal network of the Junwang family is naturally stronger. Not to mention other inside information, you can know it just by looking at the success rate of the family.
Basically, they have no offspring who will die without any reason, and not to mention that all of them are the best among people, their average level is average, and it is even more difficult to see a stupid person.
After the ancestor worship was over, Zhou Bai insisted on returning to the ancestral hall with the imperial edict.
When he was worshiping his ancestors just now, he seemed to hear the dragon's roar and felt the luck attached to the imperial edict. After a long time, Zhou Bai finally found the faint trace of purple energy.
Of course he knew that among the human luck, the spirit of the True Dragon Lord was the most precious. As long as the True Dragon spoke, one word could change the fate of ordinary civilians.
In Daxu, the only person who can be regarded as the true dragon of humanity is Emperor Daxu. Everything related to him is a treasure that can improve the luck of the individual and even the family.
If the imperial edict is enshrined in the ancestral hall, it will stabilize the fate of the clan.
However, the imperial edict for knighthood given to Zhou Bai was only the lowest ceremonial system of white silk and ox horn shaft. He thought that he would not have much luck, at least he would not be pregnant with the purple energy of the emperor.
Unexpectedly, he had actually caught it now. Zhou Bai was a little excited. The mirror in his soul shone brightly. His aura technique was operating to the extreme, and the dragon and carp above his head were awakened.
When the dragon carp heard Zhou Bai's call, it swung its tail, making a few ripples, and slowly poked its head out of the birth pillar.
It also smelled the smell of purple gas, and spit out several series of bubbles, looking very excited.
Zhou Bai raised the imperial edict high above his head. The luck on the imperial edict was not sucked, but Long Li accurately sucked out the slightly invisible purple energy.
Suddenly, the purple energy completely disappeared in the imperial edict.
Zhou Bai quickly called out the Book of Luck, and above the stagnant cloud cover, dragons and carps were swimming happily, with a trace of purple intention looming on the fish's whiskers.
[Fate: Dragon and carp enter the destiny] (Carp also has the heart to transform into a dragon, and it is guided by the purple energy of the emperor. It officially opens the path to advancement, and the dragon gate is no longer an illusion.)
…
After Zhou Bai took over as the patriarch, he officially entered the Qunshi Hall and began his era of leadership.
In the past, the elders of the Qunshi Hall could still be on duty at the Qunshi Hall and put forward their suggestions, but their status was obviously not as high as before. When many important matters within the clan needed to be discussed together, Zhou Bai would often make the decision directly.
They felt a little uncomfortable at first. Their most important right to discuss matters had been cut off. If they stayed here, it would be a good thing.
But after a few days, they discovered that these "big things" that needed to be discussed were carried out very well without them, and the operation efficiency of the group hall was greatly improved. The elders could only gradually accept the reality.
They began to take a default attitude towards the new patriarch's promotion of the younger generation. After all, most of the people employed were their descendants.
The clan elders only have honor but no real power, let alone other deacons and stewards who try to rely on their seniority to take power.
At a joint discussion meeting that was finally held, Zhou Bai summoned all senior officials to understand the situation within the clan.
Just like this, Zhou Bai gave many deacons and stewards the title of "inspector". If there were any incompetent people in the subsequent affairs they were in charge of, they would be demoted directly.
Because they don't know as much about the family's industry as Zhou Bai, how can they manage the family well?
"Our clan currently has a total of 6,731 acres of flooded and dry land, and 3,600 acres of tax-free land. Not counting other branches, we are still more than 3,000 acres short of the upper limit of the Border Township clan."
"Why don't you buy and open up wasteland? Are you worried about the land tax, or do you think there is too much food and it is useless?"
"To make a slightly taboo statement, the north of Cangshan Mountain has become increasingly colder in recent years. You may have heard of the frequent conflicts along the border wall."
