Chapter 39 Arrangements After Compromise

Before this, Ling Jiexin had never mentioned the matter of establishing a clan leader, but had always wanted to change some of the existing systems of the Cangli Ling clan.

The six of them thought that today he would bring up the issue of restructuring again, but they never thought that he would actually want to establish a clan leader.

The Cangli Ling clan has had no clan leader since the beginning of Ling Taiyi, because Ling Taiyi felt that it would be easy for one person to lead the Cangli Ling clan to make mistakes, so he did not set up a clan leader, but instead formed a council of elders to jointly manage the family.

Indeed, compared to the patriarchal system, the Cangli Ling family under the leadership of the Presbyterian Church system has been going smoothly for more than five hundred years without major setbacks.

However, in the past two hundred years, the Cangli Ling family has been treading water, and the shortcomings of the Presbyterian system have been undoubtedly exposed.

But no one has ever proposed the establishment of a clan leader, because no one dares to openly challenge the fundamental system of the Cangli Ling clan.

But Ling Jiexin actually brought it up today, which was really shocking. Even Ling Yuansheng, who was a bit more radical, felt that what he did was too rash.

Ling Yuanxiang said angrily: "Uncle Jiu, do you really want to be the clan leader? Then where will you put my grandfather?"

Hearing this, Ling Jiexin said: "If the great grandfather is willing to be the leader of this clan, I will act accordingly."

"Ninth brother, you know very well that our six elders will not agree to the matter of establishing a clan leader."

What a joke, once a clan leader is established, the power of the Presbyterian Church will be greatly reduced, or even replaced by the clan leader. How can they, members of the Presbyterian Church who have held power for many years, be willing to give up.

"I, the Cangli Ling family, have been standing still for two hundred years. In these two hundred years, we have not made any progress. It is the Presbyterian system that has dragged down the family.

I am willing to go to the top of Qingcang Mountain in person to explain the benefits to Grandpa, and Grandpa may support the establishment of a clan leader."

Ling Jieran said helplessly: "Okay, Ninth Brother, tell me, what do you want to do?"

Ling Jiexin does want to establish a clan leader, but not now because he does not yet have the strength to overwhelm the elders.

The reason why he proposed to establish a clan leader at this time was just to use this as a threat to get several elders to compromise with his restructuring.

"Bago should know what I want to do, which is restructuring."

"impossible!"

Ling Yuanxiang said immediately.

Ling Jieran said: "Yuan Xiang is right, restructuring is impossible, but you can make some attempts first."

He understood that if he didn't make some concessions today, Ling Jiexin would really dare to go to the top of Qingcang Mountain to meet Ling Chuyun. It was fine that Ling Chuyun did not agree to establish the clan leader, but once he agreed, the rights of the elders would be gone.

Never to return.

Of course, Ling Chuyun would never let Ling Jiexin be the clan leader, otherwise he would definitely promote the reform of the Ling family in Cangli. Therefore, the clan leader would most likely choose someone from among the five families besides the eldest family member and the third family member.

But Ling Jieran was not sure that such a good thing would happen to him and the second room. The other homeowners present were not sure either. They did not dare to take risks with their real power.

Ling Jiexin also knew that there would be too much resistance to comprehensive restructuring at this time, so he nodded in agreement with Ling Jieran's idea.

Seeing him nodding, Ling Jieran looked at the crowd and said, "Which is better or worse between the old and new systems? None of us know, so let's make an attempt to test the pros and cons of the two systems."

Several elders nodded in agreement, and Ling Yuanxiang asked: "Uncle Eighth, don't know how to test?"

Ling Jieran thought for a while, "Let's try it out with the children of the educated generation and compare it with the children of the fixed generation, so as to compare the advantages and disadvantages of the old and new systems."

Ling Yuanxiang said: "Eighth Uncle, this is unfair. Youzi has a genius with ice spirit root called Youxian. How can Dingzi compare with you?"

Ling Jieran nodded, "What Yuan Xiang said is not bad. Let's compare the two generations as a whole. If the generation with a given name is strong, follow the old system. If the generation with a certain name is strong, change the system."

He looked at Ling Jiexing, "Ninth brother, what do you think?"

"Uncle Jiu, are you afraid of losing?"

"It's a joke. I, Ling Jiexin, have never been afraid, so I'll bet with you."

"Since Ninth Brother agrees, let's continue the discussion."

Hearing this, all the elders nodded.

"For the sake of guarding Guanglu Island, who will guard Yellow Crab Island?"

"Bago, I should be in charge of Yellow Crab Island, and you should be in charge of Cangli Island."

Ling Jieran nodded, "It's okay, you're still young, it's safer for you to be in charge of Yellow Crab Island."

The reason why he wanted to sit on Yellow Crab Island had his own purpose, but he just didn't say it out loud.

"Red Crucian Carp Island is very important to the family. It needs to be guarded by monks who are at least in the middle stage of foundation construction. Who will come?"

There is a miniature spirit stone vein on the Red Crucian Carp Island, and 40% of the Cangli Ling clan's annual income comes from that miniature spirit stone vein, so the Red Crucian Carp Island must not afford to miss it.

Fortunately, Red Carp Island is only 120 miles away from Cangli Island, and is guarded by a monk who is in the middle stage of foundation construction. Coupled with the large formation on the island, even if the enemy cannot be blocked, he can still hold on until the support from Cangli Island arrives.

"Uncle Eighth, I'll do it."

"Um."

Ling Yuansheng is an alchemist, and Ling Yuancheng is a weapon refiner. Under normal circumstances, both of them are based on Cangli Island.

"Yuanqiyuanxing, which one of you two is in charge of Tietli Island?"

Tieli Island is covered with first-class high-grade spiritual plant Tieli wood. Tieli wood has a hard texture and is an important material for building sea ships. 10% of Cangli Ling's annual income comes from it.

Iron wood that has reached the second level will produce iron wood hearts, which can be used to refine spiritual weapons.

Fortunately, Tieli Island is much closer to Cangli Island, only eighty-three miles away, and it is enough to have a monk in the early stages of foundation building to take charge.

In the world of immortality, monsters, spiritual plants, spiritual insects, etc. are all determined by their adult levels, but they can still develop to higher levels, among which spiritual plants are the best.

For example, when Tielimu reaches the first-level high-grade spiritual plant and reaches adulthood, Tielimu is designated as a first-level high-grade spiritual plant. However, as time goes by, the longer Tielimu lives, its grade will break through to the second-level, and even

It's at the third level...

Of course, Tielimu must be promoted to the next level before his lifespan is exhausted, otherwise he will die of old age.

"I'd better go."

"Well, let Yuan Xing guard Tietli Island."

"Dengfeng Island needs a monk who is in the middle stage of foundation construction to guard it, so let Yuan Qing do it."

There is also a miniature spirit stone vein on Dengfeng Island, but that miniature spirit stone vein is not entirely owned by the Cangli Ling family, but is jointly owned by two Jindan families and eight foundation-building families in the Liuyun Islands.

Because Dengfeng Island is not on the territory of the two Jindan families, the two families each account for 30% of the share. The two Jindan families need to each send a mid-stage foundation-building monk to guard Dengfeng Island, and the eight foundation-building families

A total of three foundation-building monks need to be sent to guard it.

Ling Yuanqing was Ling Jieran's direct junior, so he directly made the decision for her and asked her to guard Dengfeng Island.
