Chapter 261 I Can't Do It
"I, I can't do it." Ye Li had little confidence in himself.
Xiao Xun reached out and patted her shoulder, saying, "Give it a try for now. After the Second Elder falls, if you still feel you're not up to it, we can talk about it then. With me here, you don't have to be afraid of anything."
Li Yuan and the others immediately echoed, "Yes, let's give it a try. Besides, being an elder doesn't require too much work, and the benefits are excellent. Not only will you have dedicated servants to take care of your daily life, but you'll also have guards to ensure your safety. If you're busy with work and can't take care of the two children, you can ask the servants to help you look after them."
The benefit of taking care of children is really good.
Sometimes Ye Li is so busy that he really can't take care of his children.
Now that Winnie is here, she can ensure the safety of the children, but if the servants are there, she can be 100% assured.
"Okay then." Ye Li nodded in agreement and put the necklace back on. She said, "Then I will temporarily take the position of the Great Elder. Once the Second Elder is executed, I will immediately give up my position."
Li Yuan and Li Sangtian immediately bowed and said, "Greetings, Great Elder!"
"You don't have to be so polite."
"Now that you are the Great Elder, you should still observe the proper etiquette." Li Yun asked, "Are you going to move? Move to the Great Elder's residence."
"No." Ye Li refused: "I'm fine with staying where I am now."
"But your house is not big, it's not convenient for working."
"It doesn't matter, I'll just come here to work when the time comes." Ye Li said.
Li Yunkai continued, "I'll have the servants and guards prepare to go to your tree house immediately to clean and protect it."
The benefits of being the Grand Elder are so good. Not only do you have servants who serve you, but you also have guards who protect you.
Li Yunkai left for a moment and returned with five servants. He said, "There are six servants in total, but the Great Elder has some matters that need to be taken care of, so one is left behind. As for the guards, there are ten in total, and they are guarding the bottom of the tree house right now."
Ye Li quickly said, "Two servants will be enough. I don't need so many. The rest will stay and continue to take care of the funeral of the late elder."
"Yes." Li Yunkai left with his servants, while the guards stayed under the tree house and began to protect Ye Li.
Ye Li sat in the Great Elder's office and asked, "Then as the Great Elder, what should I do?"
Li Yuan said, "Let's start with the overall situation of the tribe. We have three public institutions. One is the patrol team, which I am in charge of. Another is Uncle Yunkai, who is responsible for all matters big and small in the tribe. And the other is the farm, which is managed by Uncle Sangtian."
"What is the Second Elder responsible for?"
Li Yunkai replied, "The Second Elder is in charge of the warehouse, the match shop, and the textile factory."
"The area he's in charge of is quite important." Ye Li asked again, "What about the people in the tribe? How many people are there in total? Who are the natives? Who are the outsiders?"
This really stumped Li Yuan and the others. The tribe had suffered heavy casualties these days, and new members kept pouring in, but they really had no idea.
Li Yunkai said, "There is a population register that was made two years ago. The information in that register is quite detailed. What we use now is a roll call, which only has one name on it."
"Go get it. If you want to take the position of Grand Elder, you should at least understand the personnel situation of the Forest Tribe." Ye Li said, "After I review it, I will re-register it. From now on, every new person will be registered."
"I understand." Li Yunkai walked out and asked someone to ask the recorder in charge of the book to bring the registration book.
