Chapter 673 Policy Reform, Yan Yu's Concerns (Two-in-One Updated)
On Qinglian Peak, the entire Lin Family members were exceedingly excited at this moment.
Every time there is a change in the Family Head of the Lin Family, it is a crucial matter for every Lin Family member.
It often brings about some reforms.
Though the recent competition and ceremony have quelled the conflicts among the branches somewhat,
they are eagerly anticipating new policies from the Lin Family that may allow them to gain more equitable actions.
After all, they strongly supported the division into main and branch lines back in the day.
Amidst everyone's excitement, Lin Shiming glanced at Lin Yanqing.
"Yanqing, aren't you coming up?"
Lin Yanqing appeared somewhat excited, causing him to hesitate a bit.
But soon, he joyfully nodded and headed towards the platform.
Becoming the Family Head of the Lin Family and bearing the responsibility for the entire Lin Family was unexpected for him, but nonetheless, it was also an enormous challenge.
To say the least, he is only at the Foundation Establishment's late stage, whereas Lin Changxing is not only at the early stage of the Purple Mansion but also possesses the Heavenly Spirit Root, which is far superior in many aspects.
Given that the Lin Family has the Taihan Secret Realm, Lin Changxing's cultivation speed will continue to increase at an alarming rate.
"Thank you, Seventh Great-Uncle, and also thank all the Lin Family members for their support," Lin Yanqing spoke.
Beside him, Lin Changxing also stepped onto the high platform.
He remained gentle and courteous, although there was still some disappointment in his eyes, he did not exhibit the anger that other cultivators traditionally showed in similar situations.
Considering this, Lin Shiming greatly appreciated his intellect.
Choosing Lin Yanqing as the Family Head wasn't truly about Lin Changxing's inadequacy compared to Lin Yanqing, but because Lin Changxing was better suited to remain in the Soarwood Archipelago.
Staying near the Taihan Secret Realm, which is a Fourth Rank Secret Realm, Lin Changxing could remain there until he solidifies his pill.
No cultivator in the Lin Family can surpass Lin Changxing, at least not among peers of his age, so the Taihan Secret Realm is a place that can truly aid his development, making him less suitable as the Family Head.
Currently, Lin Yanjiao's example is the best case.
Lin Yanjiao possesses a Spiritual Body and Dual Spirit Root, currently at the early peak of the Purple Mansion.
And the Deputy Patriarch can also undertake decision-making.
"Changxing, as the Deputy Patriarch, you will focus on leading the Soarwood Archipelago, ensuring that the family's territory in the Soarwood Archipelago continues to expand!"
"Additionally, you will manage the Redwood Archipelago. As for the branch Family Heads in both locations, you will decide!" Lin Shiming spoke.
"Yes, Seventh Great Uncle!" Lin Changxing nodded.
Lin Shiming did not further explain, Lin Changxing either understands or he needs to comprehend it on his own.
Ultimately, it's up to all Lin Family members to handle Lin Family affairs, and he can only manage from a macro perspective.
If there is a mistake by someone, they should correct it.
After instructing, Lin Shiming took out a Jade Slip, which contained arrangements for new Lin Family policies.
Lin Yanqing received the Jade Slip, glanced at it, and his expression changed slightly because the policies changed too much.
After a short period of silence, he spoke:
"From today onwards, the Lin Family will cancel birth rewards for cultivators with Quadruple Spirit Root and Quintuple Spirit Root!"
This first sentence caused an uproar throughout the Lin Family, especially for many members who relied heavily on having many children, aiming to raise the most talented child among them.
This point was mentioned by Lin Yanjiao and Lin Shiming.
This was due to the rapid development of the Lin Family in the past, requiring as many members as possible.
Now, the Lin Family members have exceeded thirty thousand.
Mortals number in the tens of millions.
Every three years, there are six to seven hundred Immortal children.
It is meaningless to continue providing rewards for cultivators with Quadruple and Quintuple Spirit Roots.
Of course, the sighs and dissatisfaction of some cultivators reveal their displeasure.
"Secondly, for cultivators in the Lin Family receiving three times the salary, the salary will be increased to four times. In addition, except for those who have progressed in the competition, professions such as Artifact Refiners, Array Masters, Spirit Talisman Masters, Spirit Plant Masters, Healers, and Puppet Masters, who can excel beyond two ranks, will receive a fourfold salary!"
These words caused another uproar.
Clearly, the Lin Family is moving towards an elite policy.
This is a trend, and many high-level members of the Lin Family can actually understand.
The Lin Family is now a Nascent Soul family, occupying enough land already, whether in the Eastern Domain or the Southern Sea. If they want to expand further, they may follow the old path of the Taigian Shark Tribe and face collective opposition.
Thus, wasting resources on expanding the population is less beneficial than consolidating the Lin Family's resources.
Enhancing resources for outstanding Lin Family members.
Also, the Lin Family does not only focus on Spirit Roots, but also values talent in craftsmanship as well as combat skills. Even those who cultivate quickly can gain family recognition.
"Thirdly, all Secret Realms, Illusionary Heart Pavilion, Sword Pavilion, and the Yin Yang Secret Realm in the Lin Family, are open to all Lin Family members, disregarding branch distinctions. As long as they meet the qualification to enter the Secret Realm, they can apply to enter anytime, even the Spirit Stones required for transmission will be borne by the family!" Lin Yanqing continued.
These words instantly dispelled much of the previous discussion on salary reform.
After all, most Lin Family members rarely paid attention to birth rewards.
They care more about their path forward.
For the family's scheme, they highly approve.
Since the Lin Family even provides the Spirit Stones for transmission, the only difference between the main and branch lines is the Spirit Vein.
The difference is not significant for cultivators below the Purple Mansion.
"Moreover, branches will also establish Preaching Halls, where all Purple Mansion and above cultivators in the Lin Family will take turns to preach and teach according to a specific sequence!" If previously the difference was minimizing the disparity between Secret Realms,
now it is further narrowing the gap in preaching resources.
The main line certainly has more Purple Mansion and Golden Core cultivators, but if they take turns in preaching and teaching, positions will not be a concern.
