A New Clan Leader, New Reforms!
Upon hearing this, everyone...
Seeing Qin Xiao's firm refusal, Qin Xin'an's chances were over...
But thinking about it, it makes sense. How could the successor to the Qin Clan clan chief be born out of wedlock, and his mother even more so a maidservant...?
It is indeed a disgrace to the clan to appoint such a person as clan leader.
Just then, Qin Hui looked at Qin Wu and Qin Wen and couldn't help but sigh, "The remaining three are all descendants of the third and fourth sons..."
"Xinzhi is Mingyue's eldest son, while Xinyang is Mingzheng's eldest son, but he is relatively young and clearly not suitable for this position..."
"Then, ultimately, a new clan leader will be chosen from among Mingyi and Xinzhi."
"Let's vote. The eldest gets 1.5 votes. Whoever we choose will be the leader, so the third and fourth brothers won't feel uncomfortable and end up having to pass the buck..."
Seeing that his second brother had broken the awkward silence, Qin Wu sighed and looked at his younger brother Qin Wen. For a moment, neither of them knew what to say...
The descendants of twin brothers are vying for the position of clan leader...
The loser will be unhappy, as the Martial Branch and the Literary Branch are the closest, yet now they are forced to fight each other...
This is indeed a difficult situation.
But then everyone started voting, and to their surprise, Qin Wu and Qin Wen had voted for each other's descendants...
Qin Hui and Qin Zhuang, on the other hand, voted for Qin Xinzhi.
Qin Zhao and Qin Xiao voted for Qin Mingyi, for a simple reason...
Qin Mingyi has extensive experience and participated in the rise of the Lineage, witnessing Lineage arduous journey to its current state...
Experienced, steady, and cautious, from a rational perspective...
She is indeed the most suitable candidate!
In the end, Qin Mingyi successfully succeeded to the position of the Qin Clan clan leader with a narrow margin of 3.5 votes, which can be considered as the popular choice...
but--
At this moment, Qin Mingyi, who was leisurely fishing and sipping tea, clearly had no idea that he, who had always been so ordinary...
He actually became the third patriarch of the Qin Clan!
Little did anyone expect that he would become the longest-serving clan leader in the history of the Qin Clan...
Not long after, a figure appeared beside Qin Mingyi and couldn't help but tease him:
Enjoying tea, fishing, and sleeping on the ground.
"Enjoying the pleasures of family life without a thought of home, you truly are worthy of being Qin Mingyi!"
Oh... no!
"From now on, you shall be addressed as the Great Clan Chief Mingyi!"
Upon hearing this—
Qin Mingyi pointed to himself, a look of surprise and bewilderment on his face, and said:
"I???"
It's as if it's saying, "Dude, what kind of international joke are you making? Do you want to listen to what you just said?!"
Seeing this, Qin Mingyue quickly came over, patted Qin Mingyi on the shoulder, and said:
"How could it be fake? My uncle and the others have already made it..."
"The inauguration ceremony will be held one month later!"
"Among our generation, apart from the passing of the seventh brother, you and I are the two most unknown, almost like invisible people..."
"Even my third sister, ever since she became dao companion with Li Shan..."
"He's also gaining more and more attention from the clan. That kid Li Shan is no ordinary person; his cultivation has already reached the Qi Condensation Third Layer, almost catching up with Xiao Ba..."
"I thought that neither of us had any chance of turning our lives around, but I never expected you, you brat..."
"He actually became the clan leader!"
"I just don't understand. How did the position of clan leader end up in your hands? I didn't get a single benefit..."
Speaking of this--
Qin Mingyue had actually broken down in his own defenses. How could his once close brothers in misfortune have suddenly become someone he couldn't possibly reach...?
Seeing his brother getting better, he felt increasingly sour inside.
In the end, Qin Mingyue also came to terms with reality and his own mediocrity. When he saw everything clearly and let go of everything...
He has now succeeded in this endeavor.
Sometimes, making peace with your own mediocrity isn't such a bad thing...
Not long after--
A month passed in the blink of an eye.
Qin Mingyi was thus thrust into the role of the third-generation patriarch of the Qin Clan, a process that proceeded exceptionally smoothly...
Before Qin Mingyi could react, he was already in the Qin Wang Palace.
However, the hall that belonged to him was not the main hall of the Qin Wang Palace's Palace, but a secondary hall, where he would handle various clan affairs from then on...
According to the Lineage reforms, the patriarch's power is limited to the Qin Clan family itself, and his main responsibility is to continuously strengthen and optimize the Lineage...
Coordinate the development of each branch, focusing on the clan itself, to ensure its unbroken lineage.
The title "Qin Wang" and the title "Chief of the Qin Clan" once referred to the same person...
But now, it has split into two!
One is internal, and the other is external, thus splitting the responsibilities into two parts...
Qin Mingyi became the third patriarch of the Qin Clan, but not the Qin Wang. The King of Qin Wang was in charge of external affairs and had the authority to govern the four factions, seven families, and other affiliated forces...
The throne of Qin Wang is still held by Qin Xiao...
Therefore, the main hall of the Qin Wang Palace was still under the control of Qin Xiao. Of course, the Qin Wang didn't have that many things to do; he only needed to balance the various forces...
Just keep the overall direction in mind!
But Qin Mingyi, as the clan leader, has a lot more to do...
They need to constantly handle various clan affairs, manage daily operations, negotiate with affiliated forces, and worry about annual profits...
Every year, resources must also be provided to the clan for their spiritual practice...
They also need to pay monthly stipends to the clan members to maintain the Lineage's income and expenditure balance, thereby accumulating resources as much as possible.
A few days later--
Qin Mingyi had already taken charge of handling all clan affairs, large and small, and in a short time, he had comprehensively managed all the clan's resources...
At the same time, a monthly salary was set, divided according to the level of achievement.
Ordinary members of the Qin Clan receive one Black Coin per month, totaling twelve per year. Lower-level Warrior receive three Black Coin per month, totaling thirty-six per year...
Mid-level Warrior five Black Coin per month, totaling sixty per year; high-level Warrior receive seven Black Coin per month, plus an additional subsidy, totaling one Qing Coin per year.
Upon entering the Qi Condensation, one receives one Qing Coin and fifty Black Coin per month. Including additional subsidies, this amounts to twenty Qing Coin per year...
At the Qi Condensation Middle Stage, the monthly salary is two Qing Coin, and with additional subsidies, it amounts to a stipend of thirty Qing Coin per year...
At the Qi Condensation High Stage, one receives three Qing Coin per month. After all subsidies, this amounts to approximately forty Qing Coin per year. If one masters the Dao Rhyme...
Then fifty Qing Coin per year!
There is no explicit salary requirement for the Dao Foundation Realm, but it consumes approximately fifty Qing Coin each month...
The annual salary is at least six Red Coin.
at the same time--
Qin Mingyi re-established three halls: the Law Enforcement Hall, the Elders' Hall, and the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall. These halls are for internal clan use only and not for external use...
