The half-moon period passed in a flash, and the Chonghua Hall of Chaoyang Peak was filled with almost all the important people of the Ye family.

The news of Ye Ming's success in building the foundation had already spread throughout the entire family, and everyone congratulated him after seeing the aura of the foundation building period revealed on his body at this time.

Ye Ming smiled all over his face and returned the salute one by one.

A moment later, the old ancestor, the patriarch, and the second elder Ye Qichen successively walked to the top position of the main hall.

"Meet the Ancestor!"

"I've seen the patriarch!"

"Hello Second Elder! Hello Uncle Six! ”

After greeting each other, everyone returned to their respective places and sat down.

Ye Ruixiang, the supreme elder with the highest status cultivation, sat on the left side of the top of the main hall, the patriarch Ye Qihong sat in the middle of the head, and Ye Qichen, who had made great contributions to the family, sat on the right side of the head.

Other elders, family deacons, and branch heads take their seats on chairs on either side of the temple.

Ye Ming was participating in the clan meeting for the first time, so he naturally sat on the tenth chair close to the outside of the hall.

Adjacent to Ye Ming is the eighth elder Ye Yuanlang, he is the head of the family's branch in Sanjiafang City, and he had a relationship with Ye Ming during his training, but at that time Ye Ming had not yet built a foundation, and at that time he just politely greeted each other for a word or two, and now he saw this junior building a foundation, and sighed in his heart that this day came really fast.

After Ye Ming sat down, he looked around, and then chatted with the tenth uncle Ye Yuenlang beside him for a while, and basically knew the situation of the participants.

There were two vacant seats in the clan association, namely his mother Yu Yan, and Ye Qici who was stationed on Moyu Island, and the rest of the people were all present, a total of fifty people.

After seeing that everyone had arrived, Ye Qihong cleared his voice, and the bottom of the hall suddenly quieted down. He opened his mouth and said, "Today's clan meeting, Ye Xuanming is newly promoted to build a foundation and promoted to the ninth elder according to the family rules. ”

When Ye Ming heard the patriarch talk about him, he immediately got up and saluted the patriarch, and thanked him: "Xuan Ming thanked the patriarch!" He then looked around and said, "Xuan Ming has seen all the elders of the same clan! ”

Some family executives saw that Ye Ming was promoted to the elder of the family at such a young age, and he surpassed him in the seat ranking, and they inevitably felt a little unfair in their hearts, but because of the clan rules, they had to suppress the unhappiness in their hearts now.

Ye Ming saw it in his eyes, and he was not annoyed, he sat down by himself and waited quietly on the chair.

After Ye Ming finished the salute, Ye Qihong and Ye Ruixiang whispered twice, and when they saw each other nodding, they announced the start of the clan meeting.

Ye Yuancheng, the deacon hall master of the General Affairs Hall, the thirteenth in the Yuan character ranking, was the person who presided over it, and he waited for an opportunity to stand up and said loudly: "The clan meeting, the first item, the departments of the General Affairs Hall will report on the family business status. ”

The other deacons stood up and introduced their respective general affairs: "Patriarch Huiyu, at present, there is one Purple Mansion monk, ten foundation building monks, twenty-seven people in the late stage of Qi training, forty-two people in the middle stage of Qi training, fifty-five people in the early stage of Qi training, and a total of one hundred and thirty-five immortal cultivators. The family also has two hundred and one people from the Innate Realm, and eleven of them are ready to open their spirits in the Golden Autumn. The number of mortals in the jurisdiction is about six hundred and thirty thousand and eight hundred..."

"Hui Yu Patriarch, the family currently occupies the sphere of influence of the Nanling Half County, with eight large and small vassal families under its jurisdiction, one small spirit peak and six micro spirit peaks in the territory. Moyu Island is about 100 miles in circumference, with one small spiritual peak and seven miniature spiritual peaks. The family occupies an area of 376,000 square meters in Sanjiafang City, including a miniature Lingfeng. The family covers an area of 860,000 square meters in Qinghefang City, with a miniature Lingfeng. In addition, in the family jurisdiction, there is one black jade mine, one hematite mine, one dark iron mine, one Zangtu mine, one micro flint mine, one miniature spirit stone mine, one second-order elixir garden, three first-order elixir gardens, and seven ordinary medicine gardens. ”

"Hui Yu Patriarch, since the clan meeting three years ago, the revenue of the Ye family's various Fang markets is as follows, Qinghefang City has made a profit of 18,000 lower grade spirit stones, Sanjiafang City has made a profit of 21,000 lower grade spirit stones, and the Ye family's shop in Lichenfang City has made a profit of 42,000 lower grade spirit stones. In addition, in addition to the 51,000 spirit stones spent in various places in the past three years, a total of 30,000 spirit stones have been collected from the family treasury in the past three years. In the past three years, the family has distributed more than 10,000 contribution points. After deducting the monthly money distributed to the children of the Qi cultivation period every year, the overall family has a balance of about 6,000 spirit stones every year. ”

"Hui Patriarch, Family ......"

After listening to the overall report of the deacon of the family house, Ye Qihong had a deeper understanding of the Ye family's current business situation, and after pondering for a while, he asked: "At present, Jinsha Island has a large income and expenses, sixth brother, can you think of a good solution?" ”

Ye Qichen replied: "At present, there is a countermeasure, but I have to trouble Xuanming after the meeting!" ”

Ye Ming was a little surprised when he saw the sixth uncle mention him, stood up, and said, "As long as he can help the family, his grandson is willing to do his best!" ”

Ye Qihong glanced at Ye Ming, nodded with satisfaction, and said: "Very good, Xuan Ming participated in the clan meeting for the first time, and the steward of the Fang Cai Shuwu Hall has already reported the current situation of the family, I see that you also listen carefully, but what is the best plan?" ”

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Ye Ming didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly got up and came to the center of the main hall, and saw that his great-grandfather and patriarch both showed a hint of a smile, and nodded his head to let him say.

"At present, the family is balanced and has a slight surplus, which is the credit of the patriarch and most of the predecessors of the Ye family. The kid has the courage to share his opinions, and I ask the elders here to bear with me if there is anything inappropriate. Ye Ming said as he made a gesture to Ye Qihong and the surroundings.

"Our Ye family has a Purple Mansion, ten foundations, and more than 100 combat power in the Qi training period, occupying half a county and an island. With the development conditions that other families in Nanling do not have, it can be said that it can be attacked, retreated, and defended. My strategy is only one word, volume. ”

"What is a product?" Everyone was full of surprise and puzzled looks.

"The so-called accumulation refers to accumulating strength, accumulating enough strength, and only when you hit it can you exert the greatest strength, just like this punch." Ye Ming Ye Ming walked to the center of the hall without hurrying, raised his hand and clenched his fist and the side of his chest and abdomen, and leaned forward vigorously, and a fist broke through a ripple in the air, making a bang.

This palm came very suddenly, and several family stewards in the Qi training period saw the momentum of this punch, even if they were dissatisfied, they were secretly frightened.

Ye Qihong was thoughtful, and saw what Ye Ming wanted to express, and his old god was saying: "Don't talk about hypocrisy, talk about your method." ”

Ye Minglang said: "There are at least dozens of ways to accumulate strength, and my grandson is bold, so I will talk about the main points." First, there is great strength in numbers, and the flame is high when everyone gathers firewood. Monks are the foundation of the Xiuxian family, both parents are monks, and the probability of giving birth to children with spiritual roots is extremely high, so the family should encourage the children of the family with spiritual roots to marry relatives and concubines, and female cultivators can recruit sons-in-law to breed more descendants with spiritual roots for the family. As long as each male cultivator leaves a descendant with spiritual roots to the family, the family will give a certain reward, and each female cultivator can bring back a monk's husband and wife for the family and combine with him to give birth to a spiritual child, and give a certain reward. If there is a spirit child with outstanding spiritual root qualifications, all cultivation resources will be provided by the family until the spirit child has a foundation. ”

"Second, anyone who enters the middle and late stages of Qi training must also cultivate a skill, or join the battle hall to hone their combat skills. As long as the disciples can enter the first-order level, the family will award a medal of honor, and the master can get a certain amount of spirit stone rewards every year with the medal of honor. However, for those with outstanding skills, the family will increase their cultivation efforts, and as long as one of the array pill talismans can enter the first-order level, the family will make every effort to buy back its output to ensure that the skill level has enough resources to upgrade to the first-order upper grade. Those with outstanding combat power can also obtain family merits, which are equivalent to family contribution points. ”

"Third, the wealth of the law is the guarantee for the rapid advancement of our immortal cultivators, wealth comes first, widely recruits financial resources, appoints some family children to learn the way of management, establishes a family caravan, or finds a place for the family to find a source of wealth, and once it discovers treasure materials, minerals and other cultivation resources, it will give a part of the dividends of the output."

"Fourth, the establishment of family intelligence stations and communication bases not only facilitates the transmission of news by the family, but also allows them to quickly collect information on all forces. If there is a war, you can take the lead, so that you will not end up being led by the nose. ”

"Fifth, reform the family battle hall to create an iron-blooded team that can really escort the family, a magic weapon equipment cost, extracted from the family treasury, and those who fall halfway, their descendants inherit their exploits during their lifetimes, and the merit points left by the family martyrs are double as the ordinary contribution points of the family."

"The Sixth ......"

After Ye Ming's proposal was finished, various discussions sounded in the hall. Most people find these proposals to be very original. There are also doubts that if these proposals are implemented, the family's current financial resources will simply not be able to sustain it.

Ye Qihong let everyone talk about it, and after discussing it with Lao Zu and the sixth brother, he sat on the chair and waited quietly.

The most satisfied is Ye Yuanli, the master of the family battle hall, he knows in his heart that the family's resources for the war hall are limited, except for the year when he can receive the annual gift, there is not much left in the year.

Once you go out to patrol, the loss will inevitably surge, and all the gaps in the past are raised by the subordinates of the War Hall, and the days are difficult, which greatly affects the cultivation process of the members of the War Hall.

Money is a man's courage, and the battle hall is a knife in the family, and the consequence of the lack of silver and less two will definitely be constraints everywhere, not to mention the delay of the fighter, and what is even worse is that many members of the war hall are injured or fall every year, so few family disciples are willing to join the war hall.

Ye Ming proposed that it could not only supplement the problem of the warhall's military resources, but also solve the problem of the warhall's financial resources, and even take into account the aftermath, Ye Yuanli naturally raised his hands in favor.

There are also people who hesitate, most of these people have mediocre qualifications, they only want to cultivate, they don't want to waste time on various miscellaneous arts, they just want to squeeze out more cultivation time, so that they can touch the bottleneck of foundation building in their lifetime.

If they are distracted by the study of the craft, they may miss the last hope of building a foundation. However, the spirit stone resources in the family's inventory are limited, and if they can't grasp the general trend, the cultivation resources they have in hand will probably be greatly reduced, so these people are almost in a dilemma.

There are also a small number of people who are depressed, and these people certainly want to be content with the status quo. Ye Xuanming's proposal seems to be a benefit, but in fact, it is not, this is to break the rhythm of eating a big pot of rice.

If you have merit, you will be rewarded, there are only so many resources, and after rewarding the meritorious, I am afraid that the spirit stones earned by the family in a year are not enough to spend like this, and if you do nothing, it is estimated that the amount of money you will get is less than now.

The happiest among those present were the younger generation of monks, and when they heard this proposal, a few of them had a look of longing on their faces.

If Xuan Ming's proposal can be passed, it will definitely be included in the clan rules, and their second, third, and even more springs will be legitimate, and they will naturally support the proposal to bring them a happy life.

There are also the older generation of clansmen who are dedicated to cultivating the Tao who think that Ye Xuanming's proposal is too ridiculous and simply unacceptable, and if he loses Yuanyang's body before the foundation is built, the path will be ruined.

Therefore, when they saw the appearance of those younger generations of clansmen, they were immediately angry.

Half a day later, when the patriarch saw that the discussion in the hall gradually subsided, he raised his hand, pressed down, and signaled everyone to be quiet: "Okay, I believe everyone has different opinions on Xuan Ming's proposal. I remember sixty years ago, when I first took over the affairs of the clan, my people were very critical of my proposals, and now that I look back, they have all come true. Some people may be worried that the family does not have enough spirit stones, which is indeed a problem. However, in the past 30 years, the family treasury has stored a lot of spirit stones, and now if you don't spend the spirit stones in the inventory, how can it become the real foundation of the family! What our Ye family really lacks now is all kinds of talents, and only when newcomers grow up can they get more territory and cultivation resources for the family! In order to let the family out of a new world! Of course, if you feel that your path is hopeless, it is a very good choice to pass on the ancestry, and future generations can build a foundation, and you can also bare the lintel! Okay, that's all I have to say, please don't be biased, seriously consider the prospects of Ye Xuanming's proposal, and then leave your own votes. ”

After Ye Qihong finished speaking, he summoned the deacon of the General Affairs Hall and instructed him to distribute dozens of blank jade slips to everyone.

With Ye Qihong's words just now, many people also changed their original intentions and decided to put aside their selfishness for the time being and seriously ponder Ye Xuanming's proposal.

Another pillar of incense passed, and the voting results were finally counted by the deacon of the General Affairs Hall. Forty-two people agreed, three opposed, and five abstained. Ye Qihong also took advantage of the situation to announce the tone of family reform, basically copying Ye Ming's proposal.

Ye Ming was still quite proud of this kind of treatment, after all, his suggestion was widely recognized.

Those who were worried about Ye Ming's youth, fearing that his qualifications were still shallow, also let go of their dissatisfaction because of this resolution and respected Ye Ming.

For a while, the number of clansmen who showed favor to Ye Ming at the clan meeting gradually increased.

Seeing the harmonious scene in front of him, Ye Ruixiang was naturally the happiest, and in the speech at the end of the clan meeting, he reaffirmed Ye Qihong's merits, and deliberately emphasized the importance of this reform, and then turned into a spiritual light and disappeared in the Chonghua Palace.

Ye Ruixiang, as the person with the highest cultivation in the family, rarely spoke at the clan meeting, and he rarely asked about the ordinary chores in the clan.

On weekdays, the patriarch Ye Qihong bows to everything, rarely makes mistakes, the family is thriving, if there is a major emergency, he will report to Ye Ruixiang, in fact, the family's decision-making power will fall into his hands.

In this way, Ye Ruixiang lived a leisurely life and had more time to retreat and practice penance. As long as the direction of the family's decision-making is not wrong, he does not need to take charge of it himself.

This time, it was also because his great-grandson attended the meeting for the first time, so he naturally wanted to come out to cheer for the scene.

There are also relatives and estrangements in the family, and everyone wants to live a better life in their own vein and have more decision-making rights.

Ye Ruixiang is no exception, if great-grandson Ye Xuanming's proposal is not feasible and not recognized by everyone, it is impossible to violate the clan rules and favor him.
