Chapter 497;

Chapter 490: There are elders under the parents, Li's military training management method

Zou Shuyi's Aye stood up, looked at the farmers queuing outside the door and said seriously;
"If any of our clansmen with the surname Zou dares to reveal the secrets of our second room, our Zou surname will tell him to die three times, have you heard?"

"I heard the parents!"

"heard it."

Li Yu looked at everyone in the main hall of Zou Shuyi's family with satisfaction. As the saying goes, there is no need to hammer to beat the drum. Old Master Zou has just entered the role of the parent of any surname, and he directly entered the responsibility of the role. He really is entrusted to him!

But it’s not enough for the elders to enter the role, all the family members surnamed Zou need to enter the role. Thinking of this, Li Yu said majesticly;

"After entering the household registration of our Li family's second house, you should know our Taoist family rules and family laws. In the future, your head Zou will arrange for you to study. It is not good for our Li family members to understand the Li family's rules. Everyone can memorize, everyone must know every piece of family law.

Speaking of the family rules and family laws of our Li family, today I will briefly talk about these first few rules for you, so that you can have an idea in your mind and follow them in the future!
The first article of our Li clan’s family rules and family laws is actually very simple. There is only one sentence, that is, all the clan members of Li’s second family are of one heart, which means one person. Life for life, blood for blood!

I don’t need to say more about what it means. First of all, we can’t go out to bully others, and we can’t do things that hurt the nature and reason. No matter what we do, we must stand on a rational word to speak.

On this basis, if anyone dares to bully my clansmen of the Li clan, whoever bullies them will be bullying all the clansmen of the second wife of the Li clan.

The most taboo thing about my second wife, Li's family, is that wolves are more than dogs. Many people outside are like this. Most of them have this kind of thinking. As long as you don't bully me, you bully my elder brother, second brother, third brother, relatives and friends It has nothing to do with me, as long as you don't bully me!

After this kind of thinking entered into my household registration of Li’s second family, I put them all away. Every family rule and family law of my Li’s second family has been honed over thousands of years. It has been continuously improved by the ancestors for thousands of years
It is the essence and only law of the survival of the fittest, which can stand the test and can stand the test. If they all think that way, then the whole Li family's second house will be in a state of disunity and vulnerable to a single blow.

After Li Yu finished speaking, he immediately turned to look at Zou Shuyi;

"Miss, can you bring me some chopsticks, I can use them."

"only!"

Zou Shuyi immediately stood up and agreed, then went to the kitchen to fetch a large handful of bamboo chopsticks and handed them to Li Yu.

The farmers in and out of the courtyard were all staring at their patriarch, not knowing what the patriarch was doing with the chopsticks. Li Yu took a handful of chopsticks brought by Zou Shuyi, took one out and handed it to the person closest to him. A farmer.

"Come on, try to break this chopstick."

"It's the patriarch."

The farmer took a chopstick and broke it into two in an instant, Li Yu shouted loudly;

"Did everyone see clearly that a chopstick was easily broken by him?"

A group of old men kept nodding their heads, and the young people also agreed.

"I saw the patriarch."

"I see, Patriarch."

"That's good. Let's take a look later."

Li Yu handed over all the chopsticks in his hand to the farmer to order casually;
"Try it, and then break this pair of chopsticks and show me."

The man scratched his head, feeling very strange, and couldn't tell what was wrong, so he could only accept twenty or thirty chopsticks in his mouth,
His face was blushing but he couldn't stop breaking it. There were also some simple-minded people who snatched the good thing and thought they could break it. In the end, they replaced more than a dozen people one after another, but none of them could break it.

In the end, even the farmers at the door followed in to try, until everyone tried it again, they all drooped their heads dejectedly, and finally Li Yu burst out laughing.

"A chopstick can be easily broken because your strength is much stronger than the chopstick can withstand, so you can break it easily.

However, more than a dozen pairs of chopsticks are hugged together, and the strength they can bear is dozens of times stronger than a person's strength, so they can't be broken.

This is the result of the unity of all clan members. If a rich family bullies any of your families, you can only watch your family members being bullied and have nothing to do!

But when everyone hugs each other, let alone a wealthy family, it is just any family in the five surnames and Qiwang. As long as we have the sole root of the truth, we don’t have to be afraid of him. Don’t you understand this truth? "

At the end of Li Yu's speech, he yelled loudly, and many people suddenly realized, and some clever ones began to nod incessantly.

"Understood the patriarch."

"I also understand the Patriarch, and I also understand that all of our clansmen are of one mind, so we are not afraid of anyone who will bully us."

"I also understand the patriarch."

A group of old men were stroking their goatees and looking at their patriarchs with admiration. These ignorant, illiterate, and illiterate people are the most difficult to teach. It’s amazing how easy it is to teach a simple-minded people to understand a truth. It's not easy, not to mention that the patriarch of the family is still so young, it's really joyful!

Zou Shuyi's Aye Mrs. Zou stood up unhurriedly;

"What the patriarch said is very reasonable, it is precisely because the people face natural disasters and man-made disasters alone, just like a chopstick is facing being broken, and injury is the only result.

Like our Li family, many chopsticks are hugged together, and all the people of the clan have one heart, so they are not afraid of anyone breaking it. "

The other old man also stood up;

"That's right, just now the patriarch said that everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. There is nothing wrong with this statement, but the patriarch also said that the prosperity of the people is suffering, and the death of the people is also suffering. This is an indisputable fact.

No matter how the changes happen, the poor people are always the poor victims, only we can have something to rely on if we join the Li family register,

Otherwise, when the calamity year comes, when facing it alone, you will end up with no clothes and no food, needless to say, right?
As long as it is our farmer with the surname Zou, all of them came here as refugees. May I ask which one has not experienced sad things?Which family has not starved to death? "

As soon as the old man finished speaking, another old man next to him immediately took up the conversation;

"That's right! Haven't we all suffered enough? Isn't suffering enough? Now the patriarch has finally accepted us after all the hardships,

Let's be happy, but don't forget the serious business. The first priority at the moment should be to learn Li's family rules and family laws well, and everyone must learn it.

Otherwise, no one will know how to break the law in the future, and it will be too worthless to complain about grievances when they are punished by family rules and family laws. "

Li Yu looked at the words of the old people who were saying something reasonable, and then turned around to agree with them, and then asked loudly to everyone;
"Is what your parents and the elders said right?"

"Correct!"

"right……"

"It's true, Patriarch!"

"That's right, Patriarch! You're really right..."

Li Yu's question directly settled the words of the old men who spoke, and established the status of elders that could be passed on to future generations, causing the old men who spoke to tremble slightly with excitement.

Originally, according to the rules set the day before yesterday, Old Master Zou first selects some fair elders, takes out the list and has it reviewed by the mansion, and then decides which one is suitable to be an elder and which one is not?I didn't expect to make a decision right now...

Li Yu returned to the first seat and sat down, waved his big hand and said to everyone;

"Let's continue with the previous things. I'll just listen and watch. You can do whatever you want. Don't worry about me being here."

"It's the patriarch."

"It's the head of the house."

Another old man among these refugees who could read and write like Old Master Zou picked up the writing brush on the table again, and Old Master Zou, Aye of Zou Shuyi, also said calmly;
"The next two come in."

The two rows of farmers at the door immediately came in one person each, Old Master Zou asked a few gossips casually, and chatted about family matters, one of the strong men answered calmly and clearly,
While the other one lowered his head, he was very nervous, although he didn't say a wrong word, but he was not very agile.

It was obvious which one was left with the answer, and the old man with the brush asked calmly without showing any expression;
"Which Zhuangzi do you live in, what is your last name, who is the oldest in the family, and how old is this year?"

"Back to the elders, the little man lives in Xiaowangzhuang, the back of the house. His surname is Wang and his first name is San. He is the third eldest in the family. He is thirty one this year."

The other chatterer followed suit;

"Back to the elder, the villain lives in Tianjia Village to the east. His surname is Zhang and his name is Niuwa. He is the second child in his family. He is 28 this year."

The old man with the pen nodded and wrote the names of the two people in two books respectively. The person who couldn't speak well was written in the book in Tianjia Village, and under the name of the person who was talking, he wrote It's a summary of this person's honest and inarticulate.

Aye of Zou Shuyi waved her hand;
"Back off, the next two."

Li Yu became curious when he read it, so he went to the old man in charge of recording to check many books, and asked with concern;

"Why did the elder prepare so many books? I originally thought there were only two. If you want to keep it, write another book if you don't want it."

The old man in charge of recording raised his head and responded with a smile;
"To the patriarch, this is a suggestion put forward by Chief Manager Zou, saying that we need to tidy up our household registration with the surname Zou, and assign a special manager who is responsible for managing the household registration.

Which families with the Zou family name lived in our five villages, how many families lived in each village, the number of people in each family, the specific number of men, women, children, and so on.

Including the general temperament of each person, write a simple sentence or two. Manager Zou said that it would be convenient to check the number of people and schedule them later, and I also agreed.

So I prepared six books yesterday, and record one book for those who need to use it. You don’t need to read out our family rules and family laws this time. Poor feet, those people are suitable for coolies, etc.

In this way, if the patriarch needs to be dispatched in the future, we in the Zou family can call and dispatch by simply checking the household registration. "

Li Yu looked at Zou Shuyi very satisfied, and then praised;
"Great goodness."

"But if that's the case, you'll have work to do."

"Patriarch Hui, within three days at most, we can count and register all the people with the surname Zou, including women, children and the elderly."

"It's so good. I think it's better to get the number of elders surnamed Zou together as soon as possible, and then make sure that you can get twice the result with half the effort when dealing with things. Tell me, how many elders have you confirmed?"

The old man didn't dare to answer indiscriminately, but turned his head and looked at Old Master Zou, and Aye of Zou Shuyi quickly stood up and explained;
"Patriarch, there are currently 13 elders who have been confirmed, and they are all familiar in daily life. The patriarch who acts upright, fair, and reasonable can rest assured that these elders are recognized by everyone as unreasonable. Talk."

Li Yu shook his head before explaining;

"I'm not doubting the person you elected, but I just want to tell you that after becoming a surname, there will be a lot of things to deal with, which is much more troublesome than you guessed, so you need more elders than you think, Look at the other nineteen surnames,
Each surname has more than 30 elders, like those families with major surnames, the Ma family surname, the two Liu family surnames, and our Li family’s Lin surname family. These four major surnames have their families in their [-]s and [-]s. an elder.

Your surname Zou has a messy door and a large population. You only have a dozen or so elders to restrain you. I am afraid it is difficult to cover everything. In my opinion, you need at least thirty or forty elders to command the movement. Otherwise, one elder will be responsible for guarding the door. If there are too many, it is too much, and it is impossible to control it.

If you can't manage it, it means that you will lose the constraints of family rules and family laws. If there are fewer constraints, there will naturally be troubles. It means that everyone is conscious and does not make mistakes. If you don't do well, if you are a little slower than others, that's not acceptable. Wouldn't your patriarchs lose face among the top [-] surnames? "

"what?"

"But patriarch, all the fair people we know are found here are a dozen or so!"

"Yes, Patriarch, it's really hard to find someone who is old, respected and sensible."

Li Yu led a group of elders with a smile;
"Does it have to be 67 or 50 years old? Why don't you give some younger people a chance, such as [-]-[-]-year-old strong men? If they are sensible and fair at this age, you can also recommend them to do it." Elders!"

After Li Yu finished speaking, a group of old men hadn't opened their mouths to answer, then Old Master Zou frowned and said;

"Patriarch, those over 40 are fine, and strong men in their [-]s are elders. Can this...convince the public?"

Li Yu hugged his arms and caressed his bare beard stubble, and looked at the beam above his head, coping with it without a word;

"It's true that the qualifications are not enough if you are too young, but as long as you decide who to use, you can tell the names and ask the farmers to give their opinions to see what everyone thinks. After all, everyone's ideas are not wrong. Can you If you are qualified to take on great responsibilities, don't you know if you ask everyone?

But what you said, Master Zou, is not bad, or it should be set at over fifty, as long as those over 50 but under 60 years old can serve as elders if they are approved by everyone.
Remember at least forty elders. After all, you have a little more people with the surname Zou. If one elder manages too many households, it may be too much for him. "

Old Master Zou is still frowning;

"If you are the patriarch, then act according to the patriarch's order. If you are not old enough, let the farmers recommend some people over fifty.

There is one more thing I didn't say. Patriarch, I have been busy with the affairs of everyone surnamed Zou these two days, and I have not been able to discuss with the patriarch. Experience... Is it inappropriate for the patriarch to be the patriarch? "
