Cultivation Begins From The Desert

v3 Chapter 135: Family Meeting (Part 1)

The family meeting of the Yuquan Zhou family is not held on a regular basis, but the patriarch and the elder elders decide whether to hold it or not according to the actual situation of the family.

The last time the Zhou family held a family meeting was when Zhou Yang just took over as the patriarch, and now it has been seven or eight years since he took over as the patriarch of the family.

What was different from the last time was that this time the family meeting was held. All the monks from the Zhou family, including relatives such as Lin Yuting and Chen Ting, as well as younger family monks such as Zhou Guangxiang and Zhou Yuanyao, were even in their infancy. All babies with spiritual roots were recalled to Yuquan Peak.

The venue for the meeting was also moved from the indoors to the outdoors, on the square outside the Zhou family's ancestral hall. "Fifth uncle, please count the number of people and see if all the monks in the family have arrived."

In the square outside the Zhou family's ancestral hall, dozens of Zhou family cultivators, large and small, were sitting cross-legged. As the patriarch, Zhou Yang, after all the participants were present, began to ask Zhou Xuanbin, the second elder in charge of family personnel, how many people were present.

He hasn't been in the family for a while, and he really doesn't fully understand the number of monks in the family today. When Zhou Xuanbin heard his question, he immediately got up and glanced at everyone, and finally bowed his hands to him respectfully and said: "Qiyi Patriarch, my Zhou family currently has 1 Mingzi generation, 11 Xuanzi generation, Yuanzi generation. There are 21 people of the character generation, 24 people of the Guangzi generation, and 5 foreign relatives and monks, all of them are here.”

"Oh, before I knew it, there are already 57 monks in our Zhou family?"

Zhou Yang's eyes flashed with surprise, and he was quite surprised by the cultivator population data that Zhou Xuanbin said.

When the last family meeting was held, there were only 26 cultivators in the Zhou family, excluding the cultivators from their relatives. Unexpectedly, the number of cultivators nearly doubled in just seven or eight years.

"Hehehe, it's mainly because Xiao Jiu's maternity subsidy fund is well done. In my opinion, the amount of spiritual stones for this subsidy can be mentioned again. Our Zhou family is not afraid that we can't support so many people now, but we are afraid These boys refuse to give birth!" Zhou Minghan laughed and explained the reason for the surge in the Zhou family's population.

Before the family meeting was held, Zhou Yang had already revealed something to him, so he was very confident when he said this now.

However, what he said was easy, and the monks of the Zhou family's "Yuan" generation, who were the main force of fertility, rolled their eyes when they heard what he said.

Now these monks of the "Yuan" generation present, except for Zhou Yang and a few others, and the direct descendants of the "Xuan" generation elders, who have not already given birth to twenty or thirty descendants?

Having given birth to so many offspring, as a result, less than one tenth of them have spiritual roots, which has made many of them give up the idea of ​​having children and making a fortune.

If it weren't for the fact that the birth of a child was a one-shot deal, they would now have the idea of ​​returning it!

"The great-grandfather's proposal is worth considering, but let's talk about other things for now."

Zhou Yang nodded, indicating that he would consider this matter, and then turned his attention to the third elder of the family, Zhou Xuanlin, the general elder.

"Seventh Uncle, now it's up to you to explain the family's financial situation to everyone."

Hearing this, Zhou Xuanlin immediately stood up with a look of embarrassment and said: "Qi to the patriarch, due to the influence of the previous demonic chaos, the family's raw materials such as spiritual rice and spiritual ore have not been sold much, and the financial income situation, I am afraid it is difficult to calculate. "

"It's okay, Uncle Seven, just give a rough estimate based on the normal market price in the past." Zhou Yang waved his hand, indicating that Zhou Xuanlin should not be nervous.

"This... Please forgive the patriarch, I'm afraid it will be difficult to calculate this data for a while!"

Zhou Xuanlin lowered his head with a flushed face, and his voice was almost inaudible.

He didn't think about this at all beforehand, he just prepared a reserve account book for various materials. Zhou Yang didn't ask him how much he had in stock, but asked him to directly estimate the value of the inventory. price of goods.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little cold, and Zhou Yang did not expect that Zhou Xuanlin, who was in charge of the family's finances, could not even make a rough financial income statement.

He looked at the white-haired seventh uncle, and he couldn't say any words of reproach.

In the end, he could only give a hint with a wry smile: "Seventh uncle, think about it carefully, in addition to the income mentioned in the last family meeting, the family still has those income channels, and the income generated by these income channels is normal before the chaos. What is the estimated income? How many treasures are there in the family treasure house?"

Hearing him say this, Zhou Xuanlin suddenly woke up like a dream. He quickly took out the account book from the storage bag and flipped through it. After estimating the price in his heart, he said loudly:

"Patriarch Mingjian, in addition to the income mentioned in the last family meeting, the family's current income channels include the income from the Red Flame Iron Vein, as well as the income from the two stores of Yuquan Building and Zuixianlou, as well as the The silk spit by the flame spider and the milk of the blue sheep."

"Among them, the Red Flame Iron Vein could provide the family with a net income of 1,200 spirit stones each year before the start of the chaos. The two stores in Yuquan Building could provide a steady net income of about 1,700 per year, and 15 flame-eating spiders spit out spiders every year. Silk can make three robes, and the net income is about 1,000 spirit stones. The three golden sheep have not yet produced milk, so the value cannot be estimated at present."

"And there are currently 2 third-order magic tools in the family treasure house, 7 second-order high-grade magic tools, 32 second-order middle-grade magic tools, 37 second-order low-grade magic tools, and 16 second-order high-grade magic talismans. There are 7 mid-grade spiritual talismans, 9 second-grade low-grade spiritual talismans, and 2 second-grade mid-grade formations and 5 second-grade low-grade formations.”

"Finally speaking, due to the main expenditure items of the family in the past, the family monk's welfare has been changed to a contribution point. At present, the main expenditure of the family has become the distribution of the maternity subsidy fund. The subsidy fund Lingshi has exceeded 600."

"The second largest expenditure is the subsidy for Fengyuelou, and the annual subsidy for Lingshi is around 400."

"The third largest expenditure is the sacrifice to Huangshamen. Every ten years, the family needs to pay tribute to Huangshamen. The total value of the tribute materials and spirit stones must not be less than 3,000 spirit stones."

"To sum up, if everything is normal, the family can now earn about 6,200 spirit stones and spend about 1,400 spirit stones every year."

"Finally, the family currently has a balance of 14,387 spirit stones."

Zhou Xuanlin seemed to want to make up for his previous mistakes, and he took a breath to tell all the financial income and expenditure.

After saying this, he took a deep breath and continued: "In addition, I have something to report to the patriarch. Now the number of monks in the family has increased, and the consumption of resources such as spiritual rice and spiritual medicine has also increased. Therefore, the family's spiritual fields and spiritual The output of the medicine garden will drop.”

"At the same time, there have also been many responses from the clansmen. The things that can be exchanged for the clan's contribution points are not as rich as those in the shops in the square market outside. They asked whether the clan could invest in purchasing various treasures from the outside world to enrich the types of treasures in the family's treasury, and at the same time open the contribution points to exchange for spirit stones. Options."

"It's hard work, Uncle Seven."

Zhou Yang nodded lightly, and a smile finally appeared on his face.

From Zhou Xuanlin's words, we can know that the current financial income and expenditure of the Zhou family is very beautiful, and the income and expenditure ratio has reached 4:1. Even if this income and expenditure ratio is applied to those companies in his previous life, it is also a very bright 's results.

Of course, he did not ignore what Zhou Xuanlin said at the end. The reason why the Zhou family's financial income and expenditure are so bright now is because the number of monks in the family is small, and the contribution points are used instead of spirit stones to become the welfare of the family monks.

With the gradual expansion of the Zhou family's cultivator population, this income-expense ratio is bound to be unsustainable.

After laughing like this, his face returned to normal again, and then he glanced at all the clansmen, and said in a serious tone: "Seventh uncle has just said the current financial income and expenditure of the clan, here I will tell you something that everyone did not know before. things you know."

"The first thing I want to tell you is that I have been promoted to become a Tier 3 Item Refiner."

"Secondly, what I want to tell you is that the family already has a foundation building pill as a reserve, and the ancestor of the Chen family also promised that he will give us a free building foundation for the Zhou family when we refine the foundation building pill next time. Kidan!"

"Thirdly, in addition to the inheritance of the third-order artifact refiner, the family also has the inheritance of the third-order spirit planting husband and the third-order animal trainer, and also has the third-order pill recipe in hand, so if you want to learn a cultivation of immortals In terms of art, it is best to start from these aspects.”

Whoa!

After hearing Zhou Yang's words, the outside of Zhou's ancestral hall suddenly became lively like a vegetable market.

"Am I right? The patriarch said just now that the family has a foundation pill in hand?"

"Building Foundation Dan! Where did the patriarch get this kind of treasure? And there's more than one!"

"The question is what does the patriarch mean by saying this now? Has he already decided who he will give the Foundation Establishment Pill to?"

Zhou Yang said three pieces of news~lightnovelpub.net~ But there are dozens of Zhou family monks in the crowd, except for those children and babies who are not very sensible, everyone's attention is on the "Building Foundation Dan" These three words went above.

Before that, no one would have thought that the Zhou family would get another Foundation Establishment Dan so quickly, including Zhou Minghan.

When Zhou Yang told him that he had a Foundation Establishment Pill in his hand, the expression on his face was no better than those on the field now.

"Quiet, everyone quiet, listen to me first!"

In the noisy atmosphere, Zhou Yang's voice rang again.

After a while, the noise stopped immediately, and everyone craned their necks to look at him with extremely hot eyes.

"I know that everyone wants to build a foundation pill, but what I want to tell everyone is that in addition to exchanging special contribution points for foundation building pills, they can only be exchanged according to the principles of spiritual root priority and contribution priority."

"Maybe you don't quite understand what I mean by this sentence, then I will tell you in detail now that the priority of spiritual roots means that high-quality spiritual roots can be borrowed from the family in the form of loans before foundation building, in exchange for a foundation building pill. for foundation building."

"Contribution first, then it's easy to understand. In the absence of high-rank spiritual root monks participating in the competition, all middle-rank spiritual root monks under the age of sixty can use 20,000 contribution points to exchange for foundation building pills. Collect enough 20,000 Contribution Points first, and the Foundation Establishment Pill will be used by whomever!" "So now, do you still want to exchange Contribution Points for Spirit Stones?"

Zhou Yang looked at all the clansmen, and from the fiery eyes of those people, he already got the answer he wanted.
