As a powerful family that had been passed down for more than 800 years, the Mu family was naturally flourishing and had many descendants. In the modern day, the number of direct descendants and branch members of the Mu family had reached 125.
As for the branch family members, in the hundreds of years of development, apart from the Mu family's territory, they had already spread throughout the various provinces of Gu Xia Country. There were even some overseas, and the number was difficult to calculate.
This generation's family head was Mu Tiange's grandfather, Mu Chenyu. Starting from Mu Chenyu, his three sons, two daughters, and other siblings of the same generation as Mu Tiange were all direct descendants.
Since ancient times, the Mu family had strict family rules. In every generation of the Mu family, only the family head's line was the direct line of descent of the family. The children of the family head were all direct descendants, but the children of the family head's daughter were no longer direct descendants, unless the children of the family head's daughter had the surname Mu.
Other than the family head's bloodline, the rest of the people, even the family head's blood brothers, were also members of the branch family.
The Mu family's family head was not inherited from the beginning to the end. Each generation of family head needed to compete with the members of the direct line and the branch line. They competed with each other for their contributions to the family and their future plans. Only when they were recognized by most of the family members could they be qualified to become the family head.
Not only the Mu Family, but the Zheng Family, the Qin Family, and the Wei Family, which were also part of the four great families, also had such rules. There were also some families that had existed for hundreds of years in Gu Xia Country that had a strict inheritance system for the family head.
The Mu, Zheng, Qin, and Wei families had a history of more than 800 years, while the Zheng, Qin, and Wei families had a history of more than 1,000 years.
It was only because the Mu Clan's successive clan heads were all wise people who worked hard to manage the clan that the Mu Clan gradually caught up with the strength of the other three big clans. Together with Zheng, Qin, and Wei, they were called the four big clans.
Compared to the Jiang Family, which only had a history of two hundred years, the strength and foundation of the four families were stronger than the royal family. However, the strategy and inheritance mechanism of the four families determined that the four families would not dominate the world.
Only with such powerful strength and background could they negotiate with the democratic forces and have an autonomous territory of 200,000 square kilometers.
In fact, during the negotiations, the strength of the noble class led by the royal family and the four great families far exceeded the gradually rising democratic forces in Gu Xia country.
However, the royal family and the four families were not stupid. After looking at the situation of the entire world, they understood that with the progress of civilization, the rise of the democratic forces was unstoppable. It was better to cede most of the benefits and retreat bravely. It would still leave a path of retreat for the future.
After decades of development, although the aristocrats and the democratic forces often clashed, the so-called democratic forces also occupied half of the strength of Gu Xia Country.
However, with both sides seeking common ground while reserving differences, Gu Xia's development was also very fast, catching up with the last train of the third industrial revolution.
Although Gu Xia still had many shortcomings compared to other developed countries, with its huge population advantage, its economic and military strength had already developed to the forefront of the world, becoming a superpower in the world.
Mu Tiange was the eldest son of Mu Chenyu, the current head of the Mu family. He was also the eldest son of Mu Junhai and the eldest grandson of the Mu family. His every word and action would receive extraordinary attention. There were guards protecting Mu Tiange at all times.
Ever since Mu Tiange was born, his experiences in his previous life had allowed him to display a maturity and calmness that was different from his peers. This kind of performance was naturally quite satisfactory to Mu Chenyu, Mu Junhai, and his mother, Wei Qingqing.
The Mu family's library was huge and was six stories high. There were more than 13 million books in it, and it was all-encompassing. There were all kinds of professional books and strange stories in the library.
Mu Tiange's identity allowed her to freely enter and exit the library. Under the respectful company of the library's owner, Mu Tiange found the book she wanted.
According to the school's teaching model, Mu Tiange started with the basic language and math textbooks, then all kinds of extra-cursory reading materials, dictionary, and so on.
Through the system's slow development of his brain, Mu Tiange's ability to understand, remember, and create had been slowly improving.
Mu Tiange knew that there must be someone observing her in the dark, so in order to avoid being too shocking, Mu Tiange used a strong state of mind to suppress her excited expression.
After spending two days reading the primary school textbooks, he spent another three days doing various exercises.
From the sixth day onwards, Mu Tiange began to study the various subject materials for junior high school on her own.
Just as Mu Tiange had expected, while Mu Tiange was constantly learning in the library, Mu Chenyu and Mu Junhai had already seen Mu Tiange's behavior over the past few days. Even a copy of Mu Tiange's practice questions had been copied.
After learning about Mu Tiange's performance, both Mu Chenyu and Mu Junhai were surprised and very satisfied. They were looking forward to Mu Tiange's next performance.
Time passed day by day. Under the attention of the Mu Family, Mu Tiange displayed his powerful talent and wisdom.
In two months, he had self-taught all of the language, mathematics, geography, biology, chemistry, physics, politics, history, and English in junior high school.
Then, he spent another month doing all kinds of practice questions. Other than the Chinese essay and reading comprehension questions, as well as the questions in politics and history that did not have complete standard answers, he scored full marks for the rest of the questions.
After completing all the courses in junior high school, Mu Tiange started to study all the courses in senior high school.
He had seven months to complete all the high school courses by himself, and one month to do these extended practice questions, as well as some math, physics, chemistry competition questions, and so on.
Except for politics, Chinese, and history, which didn't have complete standard answers, Mu Tiange didn't write an English essay. In the other subjects, Mu Tiange scored full marks almost every time.
In less than a year's time, the five-year-old Mu Tiange had completed the knowledge that ordinary people would need nine years to learn from primary school to high school. Moreover, he had learned it by himself. Such a powerful talent and learning ability immediately shocked the entire Mu family.
In the history of the Mu family, there were also many talented and intelligent ancestors. Among the current generation of the Mu family and the previous generations, there was also no lack of intelligent and mature people.
However, everyone's performance could not be compared to Mu Tiange's. Mu Chenyu, Mu Junhai, and Wei Qingqing were very happy and excited with Mu Tiange's outstanding performance.
