424: Chapter 425 is indeed my constraint!

"Caiyue is right."

Ye Changge withdrew his gaze, his tone earnest, carrying a rare sense of gravity.

With this point made by Xiao Caiyue, he largely understood the importance of this matter and realized where the problem lay.

Although the Family was rising rapidly, its Foundation was still shallow. With more and more descendants, if they were not guided and cultivated early on, it would be too late to adjust once they grew up.

Since his children would have to deal with Family affairs sooner or later, it would be better to let them handle them now while the Family still had some substance, allowing them to gain some early training.

If anyone performed well during this period, they could be rewarded, which would serve as encouragement and drive, forming an atmosphere of healthy competition within the clan.

If their Spiritual Root talent was good, they should focus on Cultivating and not let worldly affairs hinder their Dao.

If their Spiritual Root was mediocre and they had no special talents, they should marry early; the Family could still afford to support a few idlers.

Moreover, having many children after marriage could also be considered a contribution to the Family; it was better than being idle and exhausting the Family's resources.

Xiao Caiyue continued with a smile:

"I think children like Ping'an, Xiaotian, and Ruyi are quite good. They are steady in their daily work and have a solid nature, so we can let them take full charge of these matters."

"This way, Yiyi and Shiqing won't have to worry about internal affairs anymore and can focus on Cultivating."

Ye Changge nodded upon hearing this.

Just as Xiao Caiyue said, the Family still had some substance, providing ample room for trial and error.

Letting the children try more would not only uncover their talents but also allow them to temper their Heart-Nature through practice.

If they performed well in a role, they could continue, and by granting corresponding rewards, it would encourage other descendants to follow suit. But if they didn't do well, they could be moved to another position; one could always find something suitable.

Previously, Ye Changge had only given simple instructions and let Lu Shiqing, Liu Yiyi, and the others handle the arrangements.

This naturally couldn't truly unearth what the descendants were actually suited for. Making arbitrary assignments based on impulse was akin to blind men touching an elephant.

Furthermore, Ye Changge thought of another problem—if only he and the main wives made these arrangements, the wives, concubines, and descendants below might be dissatisfied.

After all, everyone had selfish motives. Who wouldn't want their own child to get a good position? If resentment grew in the shadows, it would not be a good thing.

Now, with this approach, everyone could try, and performance would speak for itself. If they did well, they continued; if they didn't, they stepped down. This way, there would certainly be no complaints.

If they couldn't do anything well, then let Yiyi arrange their marriages early so they could expand the Family line, which would also be a contribution to the Family.

Lu Shiyin, who was on the side, also nodded, expressing agreement with Xiao Caiyue's viewpoint.

She was the most steady and broad-minded among the Ye Family's main wives. These days of handling clan affairs had made her deeply realize that relying solely on the main wives to handle every little thing was ultimately not a long-term solution.

The descendants would have to stand on their own sooner or later; cultivating them earlier was better than waiting until the last minute.

The three of them chatted for a while longer. Ye Changge felt that this matter was of great importance and should not be decided hastily; it was better to call Lu Shiqing and Liu Yiyi over to discuss it together.

After all, the two of them managed internal affairs and industries daily and were most familiar with the specific situation of the children.

So, Ye Changge sent out a message.

Before long, Lu Shiqing and Liu Yiyi arrived together.

Lu Shiqing was wearing a light purple long dress with a front opening today. Her figure was slender, and there was a hint of laziness in her eyes; evidently, she had just been taking a nap.

Liu Yiyi was in her usual elegant and simple attire, wearing a light green dress. Her temperament was gentle and soft, like a silent, growing orchid.

After the two sat down, Ye Changge explained his thoughts in full.

After listening, Lu Shiqing was stunned for a moment, then her eyes lit up, and she clapped her hands, saying:

"Husband, this is a great idea! It should have been done long ago!"

She had a straightforward personality and said whatever was on her mind, immediately pouring out her grievances:

"You don't know, Yiyi and I spend all day just dealing with those trivial matters, and we have to work until dark."

"One person says the Spirit Fields were divided unfairly, another says there's a problem with the fishing ground schedule... Yiyi and I have run until our legs are about to break, and we can't even squeeze out time to Cultivate."

"Now, letting the children manage it themselves will save us a lot of trouble."

Liu Yiyi also gently agreed:

"Husband's arrangement is indeed appropriate. The children are gradually growing up and should learn to take on some responsibilities. If they encounter difficulties they truly cannot handle, they can come to us."

Both had no objections to Ye Changge's proposal and expressed their support.

Ye Changge then said to the two:

"Yiyi, Shiqing, in the future, you will mainly focus on recruiting talent for the Family and handling some internal affairs."

"As for the management of specific industries like the fishing grounds and Spirit Fields, we will discuss carefully later how to divide them and arrange the personnel."

"Both of you are currently pregnant, so it is indeed not advisable to overexert yourselves. Focusing your energy on Cultivating and nurturing the fetus is better than anything else."

Lu Shiqing and Liu Yiyi looked at each other and nodded.

With this arrangement, they were indeed much more relaxed. Being able to free up time to Cultivate and put more energy into their unborn children could be described as killing two birds with one stone.

After the group finished discussing these major directions, they happened to chat about the personalities of the children in the clan.

Liu Yiyi pondered for a moment and said softly:

"Currently in the Family, children like Ping'an, Xiu'er, and Tian'er, who are in the first batch, may have different personalities, but deep down, they are very steady and willing to put effort into their work."

"They never slack off when it's time to Cultivate, and they can sit still when it's time to study, which is very reassuring."

She paused, her tone changing slightly:

"But compared to their older brothers, the younger ones are a bit... arrogant and overbearing."

Ye Changge raised an eyebrow slightly: "Oh? What do you mean?"

Liu Yiyi sighed softly and said:

"One reason is that there are too many children in the Family, and we can't discipline them one by one. There are already forty or fifty children in the clan, and we main wives really can't look after them all alone."

"Another reason is... ever since we came to Longmai Mountain, Husband has raised the status of the concubines and maids around you, and their treatment has become much more generous."

"The children see this, and it's inevitable that they think, 'My mother is favored, so I am superior,' and gradually, they have developed some arrogance."

After hearing this, the smile on Ye Changge's face gradually faded.

He was silent for a moment, then spoke slowly:

"This matter is indeed my oversight."

"I only thought about giving them a better life, but I never considered what the children would learn from being influenced by their surroundings."
