Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1011: Chapter 707: Clan System and Sect System

In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed, and Yang Zhenshan began the relocation.

First, the descendants of the Yang family, Yang Chengmao, Yang Chengzhang, Yang Chengzhen, Yang Chengyu; the wives, children, and grandchildren of these four all moved into the Spiritual Spring Space.

Thus, nearly half of the Yang family’s descendants moved into the Spiritual Spring Space, leaving only Yang Chengye, Yang Chengxian, and Yang Chengyou outside.

Yang Chengye’s lineage needs to inherit the throne of the Da’an New Dynasty, Yang Chengyou’s lineage needs to inherit the throne of the Dajing Dynasty, while Yang Chengxian’s lineage is left on Divine Wood Island by Yang Zhenshan; in the future, Yang Chengxian’s line will manage Divine Wood Island.

If one day, the entire Yang family moves into the Spiritual Spring Space, they will be the representatives and managers of the Yang family outside.

Of course, this doesn’t mean they can’t move into the Spiritual Spring Space; they can, but they need to first cultivate qualified successors before moving in.

Secondly, the affiliated families of the Yang family, the Luo family, the Zhen family, the Lv family, the Xie family, the Han family, the Wu family, the Yu family, the Xue family, the Zhang family, and others will also send branches to move into the Spiritual Spring Space.

Currently, the Yang family’s affiliated families can be divided into four parts: first, the Yang family business houses, namely the Luo family, Zhen family, and Lv family; the second part is the Tenglong Guard, comprising the Xie family, Han family, Wu family, Yu family, Xue family, and Zhang family.

The third part consists of families originating from Yang family guards, such as Wu Zhan, Luo Jingsong, Li Chang, Wang Lei, etc., who also have wives and children, and have grown into significant families.

The fourth part comprises those originating from Yang family servants, like Ding Qiu, Wu Hai, Lu Shou, Ma San, etc. They have also formed families, evolving from Yang family servants to affiliated families.

Besides these affiliated families, there are other families on Divine Wood Island, represented by Yang Chengche and Yang Qinwu from the Yang clan, and represented by Jiang He from early marriage alliances.

These early marriage alliances don’t include the Liang family but refer to the families of Ms. Wang, the Li family, Ms. Wang’s parental family, the Jiang family, and the Lu family.

The Lu family is quite special due to Lu Wenquan’s influence; the Lu family is now a significant family in Liaodong, but the Lu family also has descendants on Divine Wood Island.

As for Ms. Wang’s parental family, the Li family, the Liang family’s parental family, and the Jiang family where Jiang He belongs, they hail from humble origins, with almost no heritage to speak of; even after thirty to forty years, they remain small households, but undeniably, they have a place on Divine Wood Island.

The remaining ones, such as the Zhou family, the Liang family, the An family, etc., have close ties with the Yang family, but are not considered affiliated. However, Yang Zhenshan is willing to let them reside on Divine Wood Island and leave branches there.

This time, for the relocation into the Spiritual Spring Space, Yang Zhenshan prioritized the Yang family members first, followed by Yang clan members, and then affiliated family descendants.

Families like the Zhou family, the Liang family, the An family, etc., are temporarily excluded.

This time, Yang Zhenshan relocated over a thousand people into the Spiritual Spring Space, and suddenly, Longevity Village seemed overcrowded.

Fortunately, the climate inside the Spiritual Spring Space is pleasant, neither too hot nor too cold, making it feasible to camp outdoors overnight.

As for housing, let them build it themselves slowly.

Compared to housing construction, Yang Zhenshan needs to establish a management system within the Spiritual Spring Space.

As the population within the Spiritual Spring Space grows, a comprehensive management system becomes indispensable.

Regarding the regulations, these actually already exist, from Star Moon Island to Divine Wood Island, the Yang family has always had a complete and strict set of regulations, also known as laws.

This set of laws was compiled by modifying the laws of Da Rong.

Now, it can also be applied within the Spiritual Spring Space.

Concerning the management system, Yang Zhenshan plans to refer to the system of some sect forces for compilation, yet it is different from the typical sects because within the Spiritual Spring Space, the Yang family is central.

Simply put, it’s a fusion of family and sect systems.

First, establish the highest leader, the Family Head, and then establish the highest management institution, the clan hall.

The Family Head is naturally Yang Zhenshan; at this time, Yang Zhenshan certainly cannot be just a figurehead.

The clan hall is not only the highest management institution within the Spiritual Spring Space but also the ancestral shrine for the family.

Within the clan hall, not only will the ancestral tablets of the Yang family be enshrined, but also those of many affiliated families.

Beneath the clan hall are established various departments like the Elder Council, the Clan Council, the Law Enforcement Hall, the Protection Hall, the Foreign Affairs Hall, the Treasure Hall, the Teaching Hall, etc.

The Elder Council is specifically established for Martial Arts experts. Currently, to become an elder, one must possess cultivation at the Enlightenment level, which means that currently, the Elder Council has only Yu Qingyi.

The Elder Council represents the highest martial force and symbolizes martial excellence; it holds a revered position, but Yang Zhenshan has not yet assigned specific powers, as it’s intended to be a check on the Family Head; however, Yang Zhenshan does not want anyone to check him as the Family Head, thus no duties have been assigned.

If one day Yang Zhenshan passes, the Elder Council would then have the role of checking the Family Head, preventing tyranny.

The Clan Council is specifically established for the Yang clan and affiliated families, representing the interests of various families, and is also fundamental for establishing the Yang family’s dominance.

The Yang family has four branches: Yang Mingcheng, Yang Mingzhi, Yang Minghao, and Yang Mingzhao.
