202 New Nine Elders (1/3)
The Yu Family Posthouse is located in the south of the city and covers a large area, twice the area of the Yu Family Residence in Qingshan City.
The Yu family's team settled in and only occupied less than one-fifth of the courtyard. However, it was obviously Yu Chunfang's care, and the courtyards they occupied were the best ones.
As soon as they were settled, someone announced: "Master, there is someone outside who claims to be the head of the ninth branch of the original clan. He said he wants to go to Qingshan City in advance to hand over the property."
"Please!"
Yu Renlong was slightly stunned and said calmly.
Watching the servant leave, his expression was a bit complicated.
The Yu family is divided into nine major branches. This number is not fixed, sometimes it is more, sometimes it is less.
This is because they implement a very cruel elimination system within the clan.
There is an assessment for each team every ten years, and once it fails to meet the requirements, it will be demoted.
For example, downgrading from a main branch to a branch.
If you can meet the promotion requirements, you will be promoted from the branch to the main branch.
The same applies to the large and small branches under the main branch.
Sometimes, only the general branch is downgraded and no branches meet the promotion requirements, then the number of general branches will be reduced. On the contrary, the number of general branches will be increased.
For example, this time their Qingshan City branch met the promotion requirements because of Yu Guihai.
The ninth branch of the clan was demoted.
The assessment standards for the general branch within the clan are very complex and will be determined by considering various actual situations, but there are three core contents that will not change easily unless there is a crisis of genocide.
First, to be promoted or to maintain a general clan branch, one must have a strong person in the Tongmai realm. Strong people are always the fundamental foundation for the long-term prosperity of a family.
Second, they must have never betrayed the clan.
Third, it's all voluntary. If you don't want to be promoted to the general branch and think it's good to be a local emperor, the clan won't force you.
However, this is basically not done, because both the cultivation resources and the martial arts inheritance of the main clan are much stronger than those of the branches below.
It is also for this reason that the main branch enjoys more abundant resources, and the probability of a strong person emerging is much greater than that of the branches. However, the resources of the branches are not guaranteed, and the chance of promotion to the Tongmai realm is much smaller.
Therefore, if nothing unexpected happens to the Yu family branch, it is rare for them to be demoted, and branch promotions are also very rare.
More often than not, a certain general branch has so many talents that it branches off directly to become another general branch.
Even though the Yu family of Qingshan City has been promoted now, you must know that they have been a branch for hundreds of years, and then the peerless genius Yu Guihai was born, and thus the promotion was successful. This shows how difficult it is.
The Yu Family of Qingshan City has met the three core criteria for promotion assessment. As for the secondary assessment, it only concerns the treatment after promotion to the general branch and will not affect promotion.
Not long after, the servant led a group of three people to the lobby.
"Haha, Yu Renjie, a new branch of the Yu family in Qingshan City, returns to the fields with his son Yu, and Yu Guinong pays homage to the head of the new ninth branch of the main clan, the newly promoted ninth elder!"
The person in charge was a middle-aged man with a kind face. He smiled as soon as he came in and saluted Yu Renlong and Yu Guihai. The two young people behind him secretly looked at everyone with reserved expressions, especially
He kept stealing glances at Yu Guihai.
"Haha, Brother Renjie is so polite. We are all one family, and you and I are just like brothers. Come on, please sit down!"
He stretched out his hand to avoid hitting the smiling man. Seeing Yu Renjie's posture so low, Yu Renlong also felt a lot more comfortable. He couldn't help but take a high look at Yu Renjie in his heart.
After all, few people can maintain such a mentality and accept everything so quickly after coming down from a high position to a low position.
"Okay! It's better to obey orders than to be respectful. Brother Renlong, please. Ninth Elder, please!"
Yu Renjie laughed and went up the pole, but he still maintained enough respect for Yu Guihai!
Yu Guihai returned the greeting with a smile but said nothing.
Although he had known for a long time that he was the ninth elder of the Yu family, he was still quite uncomfortable being addressed in person.
Especially the two peers below who are a few years older than him look at him as if they were looking at his grandfather, which is really awkward!
"No, let my father be promoted to the Tongmai Realm as soon as possible and then become an elder." Yu Guihai thought in his mind.
After some pleasantries, Yu Renjie got down to business.
"I am here to hand over the property to Brother Renlong. This is the ninth branch's original list of mansions and properties."
Yu Renjie said as he handed over a few pieces of white paper, on which were written the details of the location of the ninth branch of the mansion, as well as the status of various large and small industries.
"Why is there only a list?" Yu Guihai asked curiously. These pieces of paper cannot be regarded as vouchers.
"It's like this, Ninth Elder. The land deed and other properties of the ninth branch have been taken back by the clan. They need to wait until you arrive in the clan to distribute them uniformly."
Yu Renjie hurriedly explained.
Only then did Yu Guihai understand that it was not that they refused to give, but that they did not have the right.
Moreover, Yu Renjie provided the list, which was actually a gesture of goodwill, so that if the clan's property distribution did not match up in the future, he would be well aware of it, otherwise he would be treated as a fool and still be kept in the dark.
"Thank you Uncle Renjie for your advice."
Yu Guihai saluted and thanked him. This could be regarded as an expression of gratitude.
"Ninth Elder is so polite!"
Yu Renjie knew this and immediately beamed with joy.
Although Yu Guihai didn't say it explicitly, since he appreciates his gratitude, if he asks for something important in the future, he should take care of it. It's not a waste to take the risk and present the property list.
"Brother Renjie, these are the Yu family's residence and the land deeds for the major mines in Qingshan City."
Yu Renlong sent out the wooden box that had been prepared.
Before he left, he dealt with many properties, but they were all properties that the Qingshan Yu family could control. Others, like houses and mines, had property rights that belonged to the family, and those that were not allowed to be sold must be left to the newly arrived branches.
"Thank you very much!" Yu Renjie burst into tears of gratitude.
After chatting for a while, Yu Renjie said goodbye and left without stopping. He rushed to Qingshan City with a fleet of vehicles that had already been prepared. He would be relieved to accept the property one day earlier.
Watching Yu Renjie and his son leave, Yu Renlong sighed: "It seems that the clan is not in a safe place either!"
Then he looked at Yu Guihai and made a rare joke: "Ninth Elder, whether you can get all the family's property depends on you!"
"Haha, father was joking. Everything depends on strength." Yu Guihai said with a faint smile.
"Yes, the secondary assessment will be an opportunity for others to scrape the oil in an open and honest manner. We must not make mistakes." Yu Renlong said with a straight face.
"What is the main focus of the secondary assessment?" Yu Guihai asked.
"It mainly depends on the overall strength of the new general branch to assess whether it has the ability to control these industries. If the ability is sufficient, it will be completely inherited. If the overall ability is not good, it can only inherit the industries that are suitable for the scope of control. However, judging from the strength of Yu Renjie and others
Look, we should be able to control all industries." Yu Renlong said confidently.
