A high-level meeting of the Chen family was about to take place in the temporary clan ground.
The elders, guardians, and stewards of the Chen family had all arrived.
They sat in their own seats, discussing something in small groups.
"Looks like something big has happened today.”
"That's right, even the clan stewards from other places have rushed back.”
"In just a short period of time, my Chen family has undergone earth-shaking changes. This old man really did not expect it.”
An old clan steward stroked his beard and said emotionally.
"Yeah, I didn't expect it either. During the time when the elderly head died, our Chen family was really in a difficult situation.”
"It's all thanks to Patriarch. If it weren't for Patriarch, my Chen Clan might have been driven out of Ji County long ago.”
"Yes, yes."
Time passed quietly.
Outside the door, the sound of hurried footsteps could be heard.
The guard outside the door shouted,"Patriarch and Grand Elder have arrived."
All the higher-ups of the Chen family stopped their private discussions.
They all looked towards the entrance.
Chen Kun, the head of the Chen family, walked in with the First Elder and a team of warriors from the family's law enforcement team.
Facing so many people's gazes, Chen Kun's heart was calm.
He walked straight to his seat.
Then, he lifted his robe and sat down on the main seat.
The warriors of the family stood on both sides.
After Chen Kun had sat down, he took a seat.
Nearly a hundred high-ranking members of the Chen family stood up together.
They cupped their hands together and bowed to Chen Kun."Greetings, Patriarch and Grand Elder!”
Chen Kun waved his hand.
"Sit!" he said expressionlessly.”
Everyone sat down again.
Chen Kun raised his head slightly and swept his sharp gaze across everyone present.
Chen Kun had already established supreme prestige in the clan.
All the higher-ups of the Chen family lowered their heads. No one dared to look him in the eye.
Chen Kun nodded in satisfaction.
He shot a glance at the Great Elder beside him.
The First Elder stood up and faced the Chen family's higher-ups.
"Today is the Chen family's high-level meeting that is held every two weeks." He said slowly,"I've been entrusted by the family head to preside over this meeting."”
He coughed lightly.
"First of all, the urgent problem is the construction of the new clans-land.”
"The last time the four clans invaded, the original Chen clan land was turned into ruins in the war. It's no longer habitable.”
"Moreover, things are different now. Under the wise leadership of the Patriarch, my Chen Family has become the number one family in Ji County. Even the Nangong Family doesn't dare to compete with my Chen Family.”
"Since we have become the number one clan in Ji County, our Chen clan must have a clan land that we can take out as a front.”
"Otherwise, when outsiders come to Ji County and see our Chen family's shabby land, wouldn't they look down on us?”
"The patriarch and I thought about it for a long time and chose three places.”
"The first one is the original Chen clan land.”
"Next is the Greenlotus Mountain outside the county.”
"Finally, there is the Long River Valley.”
"Everyone should be clear about these three places. Now, let's discuss where we should build this new clans-land.”
As soon as First Elder finished speaking.
The Chen family's higher-ups immediately started whispering to each other.
Some of the higher-ups thought that the Chen family's old clan land was a treasure trove because the Chen family had started there and should be built there.
There were also people who thought that it was most suitable to build it on the Green Lotus Mountain.
Greenlotus Mountain was a famous mountain in Hejian County with a steep terrain and abundant spiritual energy. However, it was far away from the center of Ji County, the county seat of Ji County.
There were also people who felt that the Long River Valley was not bad.
Because the Long River Valley was close to a long river, and the long river was the largest river in Hejian County, it was convenient for water transport.
Many of the Chen family's higher-ups had their own opinions, and the voices of everyone's debate became louder and louder.
Some of the bad-tempered ones even fought until their faces turned red. They were just short of fighting.
Seeing this, Chen Kun frowned slightly, feeling displeased.
The First Elder observed his expression.
He stood up and berated,"How can you argue like this in front of the Patriarch?”
The room immediately quieted down after First Elder's reprimand.
Even the sound of a needle falling to the ground could be heard clearly.
After a long time, an old steward stood up shakily.
This old steward was personally promoted by Chen's father, the old patriarch of the Chen family.
He was an old man of the Chen family. He had a lot of experience in the family and had made great contributions to the Chen family.
Usually, even Chen Kun and the First Elder had to give him some face.
He bowed respectfully to Chen Kun and the First Elder.
Then, he slowly said,"Patriarch, Great Elder, I think that the new clan land is most suitable to be built on Greenlotus Mountain."”
"Greenlotus Mountain is a lofty mountain that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It can be said that one man can hold the pass against ten thousand men!”
"Then, Greenlotus Mountain is a famous spiritual mountain. Greenlotus Mountain is full of spiritual energy, which is beneficial to the cultivation of the clansmen.”
"As for what everyone said, Greenlotus Mountain is too far away from Ji County, which is not conducive to our Chen Family controlling Ji County, this old man believes that it is purely a groundless worry!”
"As long as our Chen family can remain strong, no one will dare to snatch food from our hands.”
"If the Chen family falls, so what if they build their clan land next to the county government? How can you protect my Chen family's business?"
"Moreover, which major faction doesn't build their mountain gate on a grotto-heaven?”
"This old man has finished speaking. Patriarch, Great Elder, this old man firmly supports the construction of the new clan land on Greenlotus Mountain.”
After saying that.
The old steward sat back down.
Everyone secretly broke out in a cold sweat for this old steward. You even dared to say such words about the decline of the Chen family. If the family head were to be calculative, even ten lives would not be enough for you to die.
Chen Kun was not a narrow-minded person.
Although he was ruthless, it was only to his enemies.
Moreover, the old steward's heartfelt words had indeed hit the nail on the head.
He and the Great Elder both liked the Greenlotus Mountain.
He could decide where to build the clan land with a single word, and no one dared to object.
However, he did not want to do that.
If such a large family became a one-man-shop, then this family would not be far from decline.
This was because if the person in power made a wrong decision, there would definitely be very serious consequences.
Chen Kun was not an omniscient saint.
He couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't make a single mistake in his life.
After the old steward finished speaking, more than ten stewards immediately voiced their support for the old steward.
Chen Kun's fingers gently tapped the armrest of the main seat three times.
Immediately, another half of the stewards supported the construction of the new clan land on Greenlotus Mountain.
When Chen Kun saw this, he said decisively,"Since more than half of the higher-ups in the clan support it, then I announce that the new clan land will be built on Greenlotus Mountain!”
He called out the names of ten stewards in a row. These ten stewards would take on the task of building the new clans-land.
Building the clan's land on Greenlotus Mountain was an extremely huge project. Not only was the cost extremely high, but it also took a lot of time.
Even if the Chen family did their best, it would take at least a year and a half to build it.
After the discussion on the new location of the clan land was over.
Immediately, they moved on to the second topic.
The second topic was about the Chen family's lack of population.
The current Chen Clan was already the true overlord of Ji County, but they had less than five hundred direct descendants.
This was undoubtedly fatal to a large family.
Because, to the clan, only those who had the same bloodline as them were worthy of trust.
This was the difference between a clan and a sect.
As the head of the family, Chen Kun would naturally pay attention to this problem.
In the end, the second topic of discussion was to marry more wives and concubines and have more children.
If one was born, the clan would punish them. If two were born, the clan would reward them. The more children they had, the more rewards they would receive.
Following the announcement of this policy.
He believed that it would not be long before the Chen family would have many more little lives.
Of course, it could also be seen that for a long time.
The men of the Chen family looked as if they were walking in the air.
The high-level meeting went on for a long time.
They only left late at night.
Today's meeting passed many topics.
It would have a significant impact on the future development of the Chen family.
