Because most of the management of the silkworms had nothing to do with cultivation.
Picking, processing the mulberry leaves, and feeding the ling silkworms regularly, normal people could do these tasks.
When the ling silkworms were full, they usually wouldn't run around. One xiuzhe could easily manage tens of thousands of ling silkworms.
Due to this, the xiuzhe that managed the ling silkworms all had low cultivation and didn't have any skills.
To appoint the chief steward of the Mulberry Silkworm Department, someone who had never managed silkworms was definitely not suitable.
And those who had managed silkworms before were all of low cultivation.
The chief steward could be said to be half an elder. The elders were not happy to appoint a xiuzhe with low cultivation as the chief steward.
Adding on that the silkworm industry would become the pillar of the clan in the future, no one would be reassured to give it to a xiuzhe with low cultivation.
In the end, Wang Shouye, Wang Zhide, and Wang Daoyuan, the three people with the highest status, decided that regardless of cultivation, ability and contribution would be looked at.
The chief steward of the Mulberry Silkworm Department should be given to someone with ability, and not based on experience or cultivation.
In the end, the position of chief steward of the Mulberry Silkworm Department landed on Wang Daoxian's head.
Wang Daoxian had entered the clan with Wang Daoyin. Her cultivation talent could only be considered average. She was thirty years old now, and her cultivation was at the sixth level of qi lianhe.
She had chosen ling plant cultivation among the hundred arts of xiuxing.
Her ling plant cultivation talent wasn't very good, and the possibility of her becoming a level two ling plant farmer was very small.
Because when she was at home, she helped the family raise silkworms and spin silk.
The life habits of the forbidden silkworms were not very different from normal silkworms, but their lifespan was much longer.
Therefore, after the forbidden silkworms hatched, she was responsible for raising them.
She had done this for more than a decade, and she became the steward of the silkworms.
Right now, to establish the Mulberry Silkworm Department, there was no one more suitable than her to be the chief steward.
All the elders and chief stewards had been chosen, and the first step of the reform had been taken.
Wang Shouye sighed in relief and said, "The responsibilities of the elders have been arranged clearly. Next, the elders will choose the stewards of the halls and departments.
Daoyuan, the first step of the reform is almost done.
What is the next step? Tell us first so everyone can be mentally prepared. "
Wang Daoyuan responded, "The next step has been pretty much said in the previous introductions.
The most important thing was to prepare the General Affairs Hall.
The General Affairs Hall was in charge of all the clansmen, including the establishment of towns and villages by ordinary clansmen and the search for clansmen with spiritual roots.
Usually, the General Affairs Hall had to make decisions on all the big and small matters of the hundred thousand people.
Also, as mentioned before, in order to increase the number of cultivators in the clan, he gave out free spirit grains to pregnant clansmen.
I have never managed ordinary clansmen before, so the arrangements for the General Affairs Department will be up to the elders.
Other than the matter of the General Affairs Hall, there was also the matter of adjusting the treatment of the clansmen.
He couldn't treat all his clansmen the same way. Those who carried out dangerous missions and those who made special contributions.
When calculating their contribution points, they had to be given extra consideration. When giving out benefits, they also had to be given extra consideration.
Also, for those with better talent in cultivation and the Hundred Arts of Immortal Cultivation, there would be extra subsidies to help them grow.
I can only make suggestions for these matters. As for how to operate them, I can't tell you the standards, so I won't be giving instructions to an outsider.
These were all things that could be implemented after the various halls were established.
There were also some that could be established in the future when the number of clansmen increased.
For example, the Hundred Arts Hall that specialized in teaching underage disciples cultivation and the Hundred Arts of Immortal Cultivation.
There was also a hall that could gather information, spy on the enemy, and even assassinate members of the enemy forces.
There was also a hall that could be separated from the Guardian Hall and the Transportation Hall to be responsible for external battles.
These might take decades or even generations to establish, and could be the goal of long-term reform.
That's all I can think of.
I also have a suggestion. Make use of the strength of the other clansmen.
'Those who know the truth are in the world, those who know the truth are in the wilderness.'
You should listen to the opinions of the other clansmen. Only then will they have the deepest feeling about the good and bad of the clan rules.
Some of the stewards of the clan don't have to be cultivators. Many of the work can be done by ordinary clansmen, such as accounting, picking mulberries, and raising silkworms.
If the clan doesn't have enough cultivators, then use more capable ordinary people. "
Wang Shouye smiled and said, "Since that's all, then write it down and slowly implement it in the future. This meeting ends here, dismissed."
Ninth Great Uncle Wang Zhide stopped him and said, "There is still one more important thing to do.
According to the rules of the Immortal Cultivation World, when the old clan leader is still alive, a celebration will be held for the new clan leader.
We need to invite close clans to come and watch the ceremony.
Our Wang Clan now has four Foundation Building cultivators, and our biggest threat, the Liang Clan, is also declining.
This is a joyous occasion, we must celebrate it properly.
It just so happens that Tenth Brother is going to be called back to be an elder. He's familiar with this matter, so let him take charge of it. "
The other elders dispersed, leaving only the Twelfth Uncle, Ninth Great Uncle, and Wang Daoyuan in the discussion hall.
Wang Shouye happily patted Wang Daoyuan's shoulder and said, "I thought that after becoming the clan leader, I would be busy with those chores all day and wouldn't have time to drink anymore.
I didn't expect that after your reform, I would only need to look at the results of the various affairs. It's more or less the same as before when I was in charge of the spiritual fields.
Brat, you still know how to think about me.
I have to train Daochang as soon as possible and let him be the clan leader. I'll be the grand elder, and I won't have to do anything. "
Wang Zhide also smiled and said, "Daoyuan's reform measures are really too good. I've been pressured by these clan chores all day.
I was afraid that if something wasn't done well, it would cause damage to the clan.
Now, the burden has been reduced by more than seventy percent.
When the General Affairs Hall is established and the Finance Hall finds a suitable elder, I'll be completely relaxed.
However, what I'm most happy about is that you've actually become a second tier upper grade alchemist.
You've shouldered the two important inheritances of the clan alone. To be able to train you, I can die in peace.
Unfortunately, I won't be able to see the day when you become a third tier talisman master.
When you become a third tier talisman master, you must go to the ancestral temple and tell me, so that I can be happy there.
The clan is getting stronger and stronger. When Shouye grows up, it's only a matter of time before the glory of the ancestors reappears.
For this unreachable dream, I and those old brothers have struggled for our entire lives. We finally saw hope, but unfortunately, we don't have long to live.
I really want to live for a few hundred years and see the day when the Wang clan becomes a Jindan clan. "
Wang Daoyuan comforted, "Ninth Great Uncle, why don't you try using the Foundation Establishment Pill?"
Wang Zhide waved his hand and said, "No need. No matter how many Foundation Establishment Pills there are, it's useless.
I know my body well in my heart. It can't withstand the medicinal power of the Foundation Establishment Pill.
Each generation does the work of the next. Our generation pulled the clan back from the edge of collapse and made the clan rise.
The heavy responsibility of leading the clan to reappear the glory of the ancestors falls on your shoulders.
Sixth brother is gone, and fifth brother is gone. Only tenth brother and I are still holding on. We can't hold on for more than a few days.
Our era has passed. It's your era in the future. "
Finished speaking, he bent his back and slowly walked out of the Assembly Hall with his hands behind his back. He walked back to the Assembly Hall and continued to deal with the clan's affairs.
At the moment of reform, all kinds of affairs were the most numerous. There were still many things that he needed to deal with.
His steps were very calm, as if he wasn't facing a mountain of affairs, but walking towards the dream in his heart.
