Great Power Army Reclamation

In fact, when they first did this, it was quite controversial in the village. First of all, because of the problem of payment, every male in the village has to pay five yuan.

To be honest, Meiwangzhuang is not wealthy. Mainly, there are no side businesses. Most people go to the city to work, and there are no factories where people can work in the nearest Linqing City. So although the five yuan is not much, many people still suffer from toothache.

However, Mei Changlin also had a way. He first found a few old men with prestige in the village and explained to them the necessity of rebuilding the family tree and the root-searching activities that are now popular among compatriots from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan.

If you meet a rich man, the money will be huge! By then, the few initiators will be extremely rich.

Even if you don't meet the big money, there are many people in the village. At five yuan per person, these thousands of men can earn thousands in income.

The continuation of the genealogy does not cost much money. It is just pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Adding the cost of some memorial ceremonies, five hundred yuan is a lot.

Besides, each person who comes back from other places will be charged at least 200 yuan. If they don’t pay, they will be deleted from the family tree. This was amazing. Counting all these years, hundreds of people have left the village one after another.

In addition, they are all blooming outside, and the total must be more than the number of people in the village today. Mei Changlin promised that anyone who helped him initiate this matter would be given a share.

This was amazing. As a piece of money, it touched people's hearts, and the enthusiasm of several old people was immediately mobilized.

They started with their own children and grandchildren and asked them to sign up enthusiastically. Of course, they did not need to pay any money. But you have to make a show of it, hand over the money first, and then return it.

Under their leadership, the villagers quickly responded. The main reason is that the elderly are afraid that their children will be removed from the family tree. Chinese people have a traditional concept, that is, when a leaf falls, it returns to its roots. If there are no names on the family tree, then what roots are still there?

The reason why I did this in time for the Chinese New Year is naturally because all the migrant workers have returned. There are also those who have moved their families to other places. Many of them will come back at this time to visit their family members' graves. Soon the genealogy activity started with great vigor.

Of course, Mei Changlin and the others couldn't just copy the names again, but prepared three animals and held a large-scale sacrificial event.

Although the ancestral hall is gone, the ancestral graves are still there! But now there are very few people burying there anymore. Firstly, the place is too small, and there are too many branches, so they are willing to find their own place.

Mei Jinchai naturally told Ye Yuze and the others about these situations. Ye Yuze's eyes flashed with light. He had an idea, but naturally he couldn't say it out at this time.

Soon, Mei Changlin and several other old men also rushed over. Mainly because I heard that Mei Changan's family was here.

Although I have no impression of this Mei Changan, mainly because he is more than ten years older than them, I still know his name. And knowing that their family is in a big city, and they came here specifically to recognize their ancestors, how could they let such a person off so easily?

On the way, they discussed it. For Mei Changan's family, if they don't get three thousand or two thousand, their lives will be in vain.

When they met, they saw the car parked in front of the village committee. Several people looked at each other with secret joy on their faces, "Fat Sheep!" Then he opened the door and entered the office.

Mei Jinchai introduced a few people. Mei Changlin twirled his goatee like a big boss. He was joking. His current status is equivalent to the patriarch of the past, but he is a person who can decide life and death. So, no matter where you are, No matter how good you are outside, in the clan you have to lie down like a tiger or coil up like a dragon.

Meihua and the others naturally stood up to say hello. After all, they were from their father's generation and had to call them uncle.

Mei Changlin looked at several people arrogantly, and said with some displeasure: "You are unfilial! You will not return home when you leave home. The leaves will fall but you will not return to your roots. You guys are rebellious!"

Mei Hua's expression changed. This sentence was simply heartbreaking, but what she said was also to the point. She couldn't refute.

"We don't know this place, and we don't regard it as our roots. This is just my father's hometown. We came here to fulfill our wish. Therefore, there is no disobedience."

As the eldest son in the family, my uncle never spoke. Not because of fear, but because of identity. As a person in the system, this kind of behavior has already violated some taboos.

At this moment, after being reprimanded over and over again, the anger in my heart could no longer be suppressed, so I naturally spoke out unceremoniously.

"No, no. No matter what your status is. But you are Chinese after all. No matter how brilliant you are outside, after your death, you should be buried in the loess of your hometown. People living abroad are not far away. Come to find your roots, are you busier than others in Tangcheng?"

"I am Chinese, and my job is to make the country strong and the people prosperous. I will never worry about where I will be buried after my death."

The uncle was full of firepower and domineering. He suddenly suppressed Mei Changlin and the others. He didn't know what to say.

Mei Jinchai quickly smoothed things over: "It seems like my elder brother should be a leader outside, right? However, the clan naturally has some clan rules. You may not understand it, but there is no need to be angry, right?"

The implication of his words is: "Since you are so awesome, why do you come back to recognize your ancestors? Don't step into this village if you can? No one invites you."

Meihua quickly interjected: "Uncle Changlin, don't be angry, my brother has a bad temper. We came here this time not to return to our roots, but to fill in our names in the family tree, which can be regarded as fulfilling father's wish. Of course, we will not come in vain. , we will naturally do something for the village. Do you think there is anything we need to do?"

Mei Changlin was having his luck, thinking of what words to use to knock down this arrogant guy? As a result, my sister took the initiative to express her position, and it showed that she wanted to give money. Who could have a grudge against her?

"Is that so? But things are not that simple. The genealogy has been compiled, and your branch does not exist at all. Now if you want to add it again, the whole thing has to be revised. In addition, you have to hold sacrifices and report to your ancestors. Returning, this all requires money!”

After Mei Changlin finished speaking, he continued to stroke his beard and looked at Meihua. He had already seen that this group of people mainly focused on plum blossoms, so he had to make it more difficult first to make it easier to negotiate the price.

Meihua nodded quickly: "Yes, yes. How much do you think these will cost? We will pay."

Mei Changlin nodded with satisfaction: "Well, it will be easier if you agree to this."

Then he pinched his fingers in a serious manner and muttered about everything. From time to time he would discuss it with a few old men who came with him, and finally said:

"The money is a bit too much, probably around three thousand! Can you accept it?"
