nChapter 111: Division of Clan Power (1)

nTranslator: Daoist6fubtiW

nIn the Infinite Star Sea.

nThe major cultivation clans usually adopted the Elder Council system to manage the clans.

nIn other words, they would set up the First Elder, Second Elder, Third Elder, and so on to manage the various matters of the family.

nTo be honest.

nFrom Chen Daoxuan’s perspective, this kind of management system was simply inefficient to the point of making one’s hair stand on end.

nThis was because there was a huge problem with the Elder Council system. The responsibilities were unclear.

nThe Elders of the Council of Elders seemed to be the most powerful people other than the Patriarch, but what exactly was the matter of the family that each Elder was responsible for?

nHe wasn’t sure.

nThe elders could intervene in small matters, but for big matters, the elders and the clan leader would sit down and discuss together. In the end, the clan leader would make the final decision.

nThis way…

nIf something happened, they wouldn’t even be able to find the person in charge.

nEven if the family had divided the powers of the elders, the family was big. The subordinates did not know which elders were in charge of which aspect, so it was easy for the government orders to not be effectively implemented.

nTherefore, Chen Daoxuan was determined to abolish the Elder Council system.

nIn other words, he wanted to make major changes on the foundation of the Elders Guild.

nAt the clan meeting.

nJust when everyone thought that Chen Daoxuan was going to propose the family elder system, Chen Daoxuan unexpectedly proposed a new system. “Department management system?”

nHearing this new term, everyone looked at each other.

nCultivators of the Dao generation were slightly better. After all, they were young, and their ability to accept things was relatively strong.

nWhether it was a family elder or a department head, they were basically new words to them.

nHowever, Chen Xianhe frowned.

nThe family elder system was the management system adopted by most families in the Infinite Star Sea.

nHe had never heard of the department management system proposed by Chen Daoxuan.

nHowever, Chen Daoxuan had come up with a lot of new things, such as naming the workshop as a factory, changing the name of the clan school to Changping First Cultivation Primary School, and so on.

nSeeing that everyone was confused, Chen Daoxuan explained, “”Yes, it’s a department management system. Although our Chen family has many immortal seedlings now, the oldest among the Fu generation is only three years old, and the youngest is just born.

nIn a short period of time, the cultivation of our clan’s cultivators will also be at a relatively low level. We can’t possibly promote a Qi Condensation cultivator to become a clan elder, right?

nWouldn’t others laugh their heads off if word got out?”

nChen Daoxuan randomly found a reason to talk nonsense.

nIn fact, in Guang ‘an Prefecture, it was common for Qi Refinement clans to appoint ninth level Qi Refinement cultivators as elders.

nHearing this.

nChen Xianhe heaved a sigh of relief.

nHe originally thought that Chen Daoxuan was going to play tricks again. He didn’t expect that this department head management system was just a ” substitute ” for the family elder system.

nChen Xianhe was relieved.

nSeeing Thirteenth Uncle’s relieved expression, Chen Daoxuan heaved a sigh of relief.

nHe wasn’t afraid that the cultivators of the Dao generation would oppose him. In fact, no cultivator of the Dao generation dared to oppose his decision.

nChen Daoxuan’s only concern was that Thirteenth Uncle did not support his decision.

nIf Chen Xianhe objected, and he was the clan leader himself, Chen Daoxuan really couldn’t implement the department management system.

n“Since it’s a department management system, from now on, all the things in the family will be divided into specific departments for management.”

nChen Daoxuan paused.” Right now, our Chen family has a total of the following items.

nThe first is the management of the ordinary mortals in the clan. This part of the work was originally managed by Changping County Magistrate Chen Zhi, but from now on, I will hand this part of the work over to the cultivators in the clan.

nI call it the Ministry of the People’s Lives, and the manager is the Minister of the Ministry of the People’s Lives.

nApart from the management of the mortals, the most important part is naturally the management of the cultivators.”

nWhen it came to the management of the clan’s cultivators, everyone’s spirits rose.

nThey were all cultivators. They might not be interested in managing ordinary people, but they were obviously interested in managing the cultivators of their families.

nSeeing this.

n” Of course not,” Chen Daoxuan said with a smile.” For any cultivation force, education is the most important thing. It’s not an exaggeration to say that it’s the foundation of a cultivation force.

nTherefore, I call the second department of the family the Education Department. The person in charge is the Education Minister, who is responsible for the education of the family’s immortal seedlings.

nThe third department was the Commerce Department, which was in charge of the transactions between cultivators within the family’s sphere of influence.

nThe fourth department was the Foreign Trade Department, which was in charge of the transactions between the family and the external forces.

nThe fifth department was the Ministry of Industry, which was responsible for the production of the family’s magic tools, pills, talismans, and so on.

nThe sixth department was the Ministry of Agriculture. It was responsible for the development of the family’s ling fields and the planting of spirit herbs.

nThe seventh department was the Spirit Vein Management Department, which was responsible for managing the family’s spirit veins, including the cultivation, advancement, maintenance, and other aspects.

nThe eighth department was the Law Department, which was responsible for judging cultivators who violated the clan law within the clan’s sphere of influence.

nThe ninth department was the police department, which was responsible for arresting cultivators who broke the law within the family’s sphere of influence.

nThe tenth department is the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which is responsible for the communication between the family and the outside world.”

nChen Daoxuan mentioned ten departments in one breath.

nAmong them, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Police, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs were temporarily empty.

nOther than the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Foreign Trade, and the Ministry of People’s Lives, the other departments were in full swing.

nThe business department that was responsible for the family’s internal transactions was basically useless.

nWhat was there to trade with eleven Qi Condensation cultivators?

nHowever, from Chen Daoxuan’s simple description, everyone could see that this organizational structure was quite rigorous.

nIt covered almost all aspects of the family temporarily, and the division of responsibilities was clear.

nHe wasn’t worried at all that they would argue in the future.

nChen Xianhe seemed to have noticed the problem and asked,”Daoxuan, the so-called legal department and police department you set up, is there a conflict of authority?

nAs far as I know, all the big families use law enforcement teams to arrest and judge illegal cultivators.”

n“Thirteenth Uncle, you’re right. The powers of these two departments do restrict each other, but 1 did it on purpose.”

nHe paused.” You all know that the law enforcement team is the most important department to maintain the stability of the family.

nBut at the same time, its power is too great. It has the power to arrest and judge. If the person in charge of the law enforcement team or the internal members bend the law for personal gain, how much harm will it bring to the family?”

nHearing this.

nChen Xianhe fell silent.

nAlthough he wasn’t as open-minded as Chen Daoxuan, who had transmigrated, he wasn’t stupid.

nHow could he not know about the situation that Chen Daoxuan was talking about?

nFor example, the Zhou family’s law enforcement team was a department that even the Zhou family’s internal cultivators feared.

nThey could arrest you and sentence you however they wanted. Basically, other than the top few big shots of the Zhou family, outsiders had no right to interfere.

nThis was also the reason why Chen Daoxuan had met a wandering cultivator called Zhang San when he first went to the wandering cultivator market. When he saw the Zhou family’s law enforcement team, he was so scared that he trembled.

nAs a result, the cultivators of the clan would definitely resent the law enforcement team and affect the internal stability of the clan.

nThis was something Chen Daoxuan did not want to see..
