Qian Sangui further said, "The funds for building the ancestral hall shall be provided by the three branches of our family. Every year thereafter, our three branches will contribute one hundred taels of silver for ceremonies and to assist the impoverished nephews and nieces of the Qian family. This money will be kept by the eldest brother, and the second brother will keep the accounts. If a descendant of the Qian family is awarded the title of Scholar or if they pass the examination to become a Graduate, the expenses will also be covered by our family. However, if any descendant of the Qian family dares to use our family's influence in Manjiang to bully the people, accept bribes, or engage in illegal activities, I will have the authority to expel them from the clan."
Old Master Qian was naturally willing and repeatedly said, "That's proper, that's proper."
