Chapter 69: Understanding the Power



Lin Tongxi actually thought about the name Cunxianzhai for a long time, but finally decided that it should be more popular.

Everyone knows about local celebrities, so the corresponding village celebrities are naturally easy to understand.

The word "zhai" highlights the simple temperament and makes people think of a study, feeling like an important place.

Of course, the name is not the point, the point is how to divide the cake.

Those who were able to attend this first village elders' meeting were naturally important figures in the village.

In order to avoid any mistakes or omissions, Lin Tongxi even asked the old village chief Li Changhe to take a look before forming the final list.

There were 15 people who actually attended the meeting: Lin Tongxi, Chen Yunxuan, Su Ruoxue; Li Changhe, Li Wenyuan, Li Yanghao; Zhao Lao Taijun, Zhao Deshan, Zhao Shouzhong; Zhou Tiezhu, Zhou Wenbin; Wang Mingjiao, Shi Kaishan, Zhang Shulan, Zhi Peiyuan.

Needless to say, the three protagonists, and the Li family and the Zhao family each selected three representatives. Among them, Li Yanghao is Li Changhe's younger brother, and his status in the Li family is second only to Li Changhe.

Zhou Tiezhu and Zhou Wenbin had performed outstandingly before. The former was strong and powerful, with a strong aura, while the latter was literate and could do math, and had received instruction from Lin Tongxi.

As for Wang Mingjiao, Shi Kaishan and Zhang Shulan, they are more enthusiastic and are considered to be relatively famous among people of other surnames.

The last one, Zhi Peiyuan, can be said to be a representative of the refugees who have integrated into Qingshi Village. He has business experience and later fled here. He is widely praised for his active help to Qingshi Village.

Lin Tongxi put forward a plan, stating that he intended to first establish two institutions, one was the Village Sages' Hall and the other was the Deacon's Office.

The former is responsible for formulating strategies, while the latter is responsible for implementing strategies.

Of course, Lin Tongxi actually wanted to set up two institutions, whose functions were to decide matters and to discuss matters respectively.

However, because these two institutions have not yet decided on the candidates and need to rely on the first two institutions to carry out their work, it has been temporarily shelved.

"Young Master Tongxi, I really don't understand why we have to split into two? Our village is so small, isn't it a bit of an overreaction?" Zhi Peiyuan raised his doubts. He had done business in Yuwan City before and had some understanding of the government's institutions.

"That's easy. Just call them village chief and deputy village chief?" Zhao Tiezhu didn't care about the specific details. As long as he had a real reputation, it would be fine.

"No, no, no, it's too outrageous for a village to have so many deputy village chiefs..." Li Wenyuan shook his head.

"Heh, you bunch of brats, our ancestors have already appointed a village chief, yet you insist on having a deputy village chief and setting up some kind of organization. You're simply confused." Zhao Deshan expressed his dissatisfaction with Lin Tongxi's new reform policy.

His eldest son, Zhao Shouzhong, tugged at his sleeve and whispered, "Dad, please calm down... This is also beneficial to our Zhao family. Besides, even if there is no position in name, there are still people doing the work of deputy village chief. It's better to have a deputy village chief. This will also benefit the people who do the work."

Everyone was talking at once. Lin Tongxi had roughly anticipated their reactions before the meeting and answered them one by one.

Although Qingshi Village is small, it has many complicated affairs. If it wants to develop well, it must have a scientific division of labor.

The division of labor must be classified into categories, and classification requires the establishment of several institutions.

At present, there are a total of 15 people who are dividing the cake. If two institutions are established, this number is more appropriate.

As for the titles of village chief and deputy village chief, it sounds exaggerated that a village has more than a dozen deputy village chiefs.

It is divided into two organizations, and different organizations have different positions.

Next, different positions can be divided into rankings to reflect hierarchy.

At the end, Lin Tongxi also said the most important thing: "Everyone, our meeting is not just a formality. From now on, the names of every village elder and steward will be included in the village annals."

When Zhao Deshan heard this, he immediately became excited. You know, he has wanted to become the village chief for more than a day or two.

The reason why he wanted to be the village chief was very simple. He hoped that future generations would know about his deeds, similar to the feeling of a scholar who wanted to be recorded in history.

Of course, except for Zhao Deshan, everyone else was also interested when they heard it.

You have to know that being included in the village annals is a big deal. If you are included in this, your status in the village will increase a lot.

Seeing that there were no other objections, Lin Tongxi announced the decision to establish the two institutions.

Then, the list of personnel and division of labor of the organization was read out again.

In the Village Sages' Hall, Lin Tongxi serves as the Village Sage Order, and is fully responsible for the work of the Village Sages' Hall.

Chen Yunxuan and Su Ruoxue are the village elders respectively. Chen Yunxuan is in charge of the deacon's room, while Su Ruoxue assists in handling the daily affairs of the village elders' village.

Li Changhe, Zhao Laotaijun, Zhao Deshan and Li Wenyuan are respectively the village elders, responsible for the corresponding important tasks.

In the deacon's room, Chen Yunxuan serves as the chief deacon of the deacon's room, that is, the village chief, and is fully responsible for the work of the deacon's room.

Zhou Wenbin, Zhou Tiezhu, Wang Mingjiao, Shi Kaishan, Zhang Shulan and Zhi Peiyuan are deputy village heads, in charge of finance, security, education, civil affairs, mining, agriculture and commerce respectively.

This arrangement takes into account their respective strengths.

As for the remaining few people, Lin Tongxi planned to select them as candidates for the Decision-making Temple and the Council Hall.

After the list was announced, everyone nodded in agreement.

Afterwards, Lin Tongxi proposed several more ideas, which were also approved one by one.

The meeting lasted until the evening, and Lin Tongxi finally announced the end of the meeting and everyone went home.

"Brother Tongxi, I have to say... your thinking is different from that of ordinary people." Chen Yunxuan couldn't help but sigh.

"Oh? Why is it different?" Lin Tongxi responded curiously.
