In Ye Chen's eyes, these side families are second-class citizens compared to the main family.
In addition, they have a dark history of being ungrateful, so in the future, it will be even less possible for me to treat them as human beings.
Letting two young descendants from each family come to the Ye family to serve as servants is to let them know that their own mission is to serve the main family.
When more than 700 members of the Ye family heard this, they were filled with complaints, but with the Ye Tao family's lessons learned, no one dared to say even a word of "no" at this time.
Seeing that no one dared to object, Ye Chen said, "Since you all have no objections, then this matter is settled."
After that, he took the roster for the ancestor worship ceremony and said: "This contains information about each branch of the Ye family, as well as the list of representatives who came to Yanjing to participate in the ancestor worship ceremony. Within a week,
All families must submit information on the selected young descendants. As for the selection criteria, I have very high requirements, so please listen to me."
Everyone looked at Ye Chen with bated breath, not knowing how harsh the request he would make.
Ye Chen cleared his throat and said coldly: "First, it must be a direct relative of the Ye family. None of you should think about bringing an outsider or relative to fool me. The person who comes must have a surname of Ye, and must be
The legitimate sons and grandsons of each of your families!"
No one dared to speak, so they could only nod in agreement.
Ye Chen added: "Second, it must be a college degree or above;"
"Third, the age range is between 22 and 35 years old. Anyone over 35 years old will not be accepted! And all female dependents cannot be sent. There must be at least one male among two people in each family."
Some people's expressions changed slightly.
When they first heard that they were going to send someone over to the head of the family, they thought they could just photograph two girls. After all, they all valued boys over girls and usually wanted to train boys to be their successors. How could they be willing to sacrifice their own family?
The children and grandchildren were sent here to serve as current people.
But as soon as Ye Chen said these words, everyone in the group felt very uncomfortable.
Some families with more boys are fine, but those with fewer boys can be depressing.
There are only two or three young grandchildren in total. Those who meet the educational and age requirements are either continuing to study for master's or doctorate degrees, or have already received experience in their positions. At this time, they are transferred to the Ye family as servants. From a practical point of view,
It is difficult for them to accept it from a psychological point of view.
At this time, Ye Chen continued: "Fourth, all those who come to serve in the master's house will rotate every two years. After the two-year period is over, they can leave the master's house and return to their own homes, but you must send the next batch of people three months in advance.
Send it here, and at the same time carry out work handover with the previous group of people to ensure that all positions can be seamlessly connected, otherwise if something goes wrong, you are the only one to ask."
When everyone heard this, their expressions were much more bitter than bitter gourds.
In their opinion, Ye Chen's requirements for them were already extremely harsh.
Moreover, behind this, there is a faint feeling of ancient protons.
Just like every vassal king must send one of his sons to the capital as a hostage.
When they think about this aspect, it becomes even more difficult for them to accept it.
However, there is nothing I can do about it if it is hard to accept.
What Ye Chen is playing with them now is power politics at the diplomatic level.
It not only requires economic sanctions, but also threatens and strikes with force, and even controls its internal affairs.
Not to mention the economic sanctions, there are only a few families here who basically no longer rely on the Ye family like the Ye Tao family. Most other families rely on the Ye family for support in their business.
Moreover, this group of people has now had all their cash sucked up by Wanlong Palace, and they have signed a five-year installment agreement. Their economic lifeline is already in Ye Chen's hands.
Not to mention the level of force, Wanlongdian is Ye Chen's best fist at the moment, and he can hit wherever he points. This alone is enough to make the members of this gang extremely afraid.
As for the control of internal affairs, it all depends on Ye Chen's wishes. If any family is disobedient, Ye Chen can completely destroy the disobedient head of the family and then support an obedient one from within.
These side members also saw Ye Chen's intention clearly, but they now have no strength to fight against Ye Chen, so they can only agree to it one by one.
Seeing that no one had any objections, Ye Chen said: "Since you all have no objections, then proceed as I said. Within a week, the list and information will be submitted to Ms. Ye Changmin for review. Follow-up personnel will report and work docking.
Ms. Ye Changmin is responsible for connecting."
As soon as Ye Changmin heard Ye Chen mention her name, she immediately said excitedly: "Chen'er, don't worry, my aunt will definitely do what you told her!"
Ye Chen nodded with satisfaction and said coldly: "All of you, please listen to me. Everything in this matter is subject to Ms. Ye Changmin's decision. Ms. Ye Changmin will report directly to me. If any of you are uncooperative or negative,
If you deal with it, I will definitely not let him off lightly!"
Everyone's expressions were grim. Although they were in great pain, they could only express their willingness to actively cooperate.
Ye Changmin, on the other hand, was already extremely excited.
Originally, she felt hairy all over when she saw Ye Chen's cold face, but now when she looks at it, she feels so cute.
This is also because Ye Chen has indeed treated her somewhat favorably these past two days.
Previously, she was exempted from the obligation to observe filial piety, and she only had to kneel in Yeling Mountain for three days before she could leave.
And now, she was given the responsibility for such an important job, and she immediately felt that she was valued by Ye Chen.
At the same time, it also made her sigh in her heart: "It seems that all the hardships I suffered in Jinling were not in vain..."
In fact, what Ye Changmin didn't know was that it wasn't that Ye Chen wanted to reuse her, but that Ye Chen understood her mentality very well.
Ye Chen knew that his aunt wanted to establish a firm foothold in the Ye family and was always looking for opportunities to show off.
Moreover, she is impatient, has a big temper, and always has a very high attitude. When it comes to doing serious things, she may not have the ability or ability, but if she is asked to be a supervisor, to torture people, to do some nitpicking
thing, then she is definitely the most suitable candidate.
As an old princess, once her temper breaks out, most people can't stand it.
Therefore, by leaving this matter to Ye Changmin, the follow-up will definitely be enough for this group of collateral families, and those juniors sent to work will not be able to cheat in the future.
Ye Chen spoke again at this time: "By the way, in order to prevent the people you submit from being looked down upon by Ms. Ye Changmin, you might as well submit all your member information that meets my above requirements to her, and she will take it from her.
Pick the best.”
As soon as Ye Chen said these words, the heads of these collateral families were all on the verge of tears.
Originally, they thought that they only needed to choose someone according to Ye Chen's request. There was basically no pressure on them if there were many boys in the family, so they could just choose a less popular one and send it over.
Just like Tian Ji's horse racing, at this time, you can send low-quality horses to fight, and it doesn't matter if you lose.
However, now Ye Chen requires them to submit everyone to Ye Changmin for screening, which will be troublesome, because Ye Changmin will definitely choose the best among them. In that case, the person selected is likely to be the successor planned by his family.
People, how can they stand this situation?
However, although it is difficult for these people to accept it, some people are already excited. These people are basically the younger generations who are not ranked first in their respective families. But once the first person is selected to serve the master's family, then they will have more
A few opportunities to get ahead.
Ye Chen could naturally see the faces of these people, with some families happy and others sad, but he was too lazy to pay attention to it and ordered the soldiers of Wanlong Palace: "You drive all the half of this group of people who came up first down the mountain and let them go.
They each go back to their homes to find their mothers; as for the half who come up later, let them kneel in front of the ancestors of the Ye family until this time tomorrow and then let them go!"
