Chapter 111: Division of Clan Power (1)

Translator: Daoist6fubtiW

In the Infinite Star Sea.

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

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

To be honest.

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

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

The 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?

He wasn’t sure.

The 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.

This way…

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

Even 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.

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

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

At the clan meeting.

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

Hearing this new term, everyone looked at each other.

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

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

However, Chen Xianhe frowned.

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

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

However, 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.

Seeing 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.

In 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?

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

Chen Daoxuan randomly found a reason to talk nonsense.

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

Hearing this.

Chen Xianhe heaved a sigh of relief.

He 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.

Chen Xianhe was relieved.

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

He 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.

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

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

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

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

The 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.

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

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

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

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

Seeing this.

” 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.

Therefore, 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.

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

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

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

The 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.

The 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.

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

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

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

Chen Daoxuan mentioned ten departments in one breath.

Among 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.

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

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

What was there to trade with eleven Qi Condensation cultivators?

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

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

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

Chen 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?

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

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

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

But 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?”

Hearing this.

Chen Xianhe fell silent.

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

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

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

They 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.

This 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.

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

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