Zhou Daoyi was worried about how to find an upright reason for Zhou Chun to stay in the family and practice with peace of mind, waiting for the foundation to be built.

At this time, Zhou Zhengyong suddenly stood up and said that he was willing to go to Yunzhou instead of Zhou Chun, how could he not be happy and happy.

At the same time, he also knew that with Zhou Chun's character, he would definitely say something to refuse, and he must have to refuse.

That's why he quickly interrupted Zhou Chun's words before he refused, and settled the matter in one go.

Although Zhou Zhengyong is also a relatively outstanding person of the younger generation of the Zhou family, compared with Zhou Chun, it is undoubtedly far from it.

As the patriarch, Zhou Daoyi realized that his decision was worthy of his identity and responsibilities.

And seeing that he was the patriarch, he had already decided the matter on the spot.

Zhou Chun, who was interrupted by him, opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything against it.

It's not impossible to question the patriarch's decision in person, but it must be an elder-level clansman to do it.

Otherwise, anyone can question the patriarch's decision, so where is the prestige of the patriarch?

And the blind can see that whether it is Zhou Zhengyong or the patriarch Zhou Daoyi, they are doing all this to help him Zhou Chun.

At this time, if he still stands up directly against it, although it will be his reputation, it will inevitably hurt the face and feelings of the patriarch Zhou Daoyi.

So this matter can only be settled like this!

After everyone dispersed, Zhou Chun found Zhou Zhengyong alone.

"Brother Yong, you Hutu!"

"Your kind-hearted little brother knows, but you also have to think about yourself, your sister-in-law, and your nephew!"

"How can you decide such a big matter alone without discussing it with your sister-in-law!"

"If something happens to you, how will the younger brother face his sister-in-law and nephew in the future!"

In the room where only the two of them were alone, Zhou Chun looked at Zhou Zhengyong with excitement and said again and again, looking very excited.

He knew Zhou Zhengyong's kindness, but he really didn't want to bear this kind of kindness!

In Zhou Chun's eyes, with his cultivation strength, even if he goes to Yunzhou, it will not be a problem to consciously save his life, so there is no need for anyone to go for him.

On the contrary, if Zhou Zhengyong goes for him, in case he is injured and disabled, he will even die.

Then he really has to feel guilty for the rest of his life, and he owes a lot of favors!

How did he not get excited.

However, in the face of Zhou Chun's excited speech, Zhou Zhengyong said with a straight face: "Thirteenth brother, you are wrong, I don't want to be a brother for me!" ”

"I have always been a brother and I have received a lot of help from your thirteenth brother, if it weren't for your help, I wouldn't have married a wife like Yujiao, and I wouldn't have Lan'er!"

"Yujiao, she also often said to her brother, thirteenth brother, your cultivation has improved too fast, and we and my wife owe you a favor, I'm afraid it will be difficult to have another chance to pay it back!"

"Well, now it's a godsend, so that Brother Wei can have the opportunity to do something for you, and be able to repay the favor of the thirteenth brother, Yujiao knows about this matter, and will only agree!"

Speaking of this, he also looked at Zhou Chun with emotion and said: "I know what you're worried about, Thirteenth Brother, but please also ask Thirteenth Brother to think about it for your brother, it's not only that you don't want to bear the debt of favors, but you're not the kind of person who is favored by others and can always be at ease and don't want to repay!" ”

Small kiosk

"Brother Yong, you ......"

When Zhou Chun heard this, he was speechless, and he didn't know what to say.

Yes, Zhou Zhengyong is not stupid, he knows what he is worried about.

But Zhou Zhengyong, as a monk with a moral conscience, also has his own persistence and ideas.

How can he force others to violate his moral conscience because of his own concerns!

Seeing that he was silent at this time, Zhou Zhengyong also knew that his words had an effect, so he immediately waved his hand and said: "Thirteenth brother, you don't have to say much, the family has already decided on this matter, and it cannot be changed." ”

"And for my brother, I'm just going to fight on your behalf, and it's not like going to a life and death situation, why should we be so pessimistic."

"Take 10,000 steps back, even if something really happens to my brother this time, it is fate, and I don't blame anyone!"

Hearing his words, Zhou Chun could only smile bitterly.

Don't blame anyone, it's as easy as he, the person concerned, can say.

If something really happened to him, not to mention what Sun Yujiao's mother and son thought, the rest of the Zhou family would have to watch him Zhou Chun's performance in the future.

But at this point, there is really no point in saying anything more.

Everyone has their own persistence, and they have their own things to care about and adhere to.

At the moment, he could only nod helplessly and said: "Okay, since Brother Yong is clear to you, then the little brother won't say anything, it's just these things, Brother Yong, you must accept them, otherwise the little brother will resolutely not agree!" ”

As he spoke, he reached out and patted the storage bag on his waist, and took out two first-order high-grade magic weapons, as well as more than a dozen first-order high-grade magic talismans.

Since there was no way to stop Zhou Zhengyong from going on the expedition instead of him, Zhou Chun could only arm himself as much as possible to enhance his strength.

If it weren't for the fact that his rock and soil turtle had not evolved to the level of the fire god jackal that could understand human speech, Zhou Chun would have asked Zhou Zhengyong to bring the rock and soil turtle with him.

And in the face of these things that Zhou Chun took out, Zhou Zhengyong excused himself for a while, and found that he couldn't refuse, so he also accepted it.

After two more days passed, the fourteen monks of the Zhou family who had decided to go to Yunzhou left Jiufengling with the patriarch Zhou Daoyi and marched towards Yunzhou.

Before leaving, after saying goodbye to his wife and children who came to see him off, Zhou Zhengyong also whispered to Zhou Chun: "Thirteenth brother, my brother is gone, if something really happens to my brother, Lan'er will trouble you to take care of him more in the future, and help Yujiao raise him as an adult!" ”

When Zhou Chun heard his words, his heart suddenly sank, and he thought of something bad.

So he hurriedly said: "Brother Yong, don't think like this, you must come back to take care of them completely!" ”

After speaking, he also promised in a low voice: "Don't worry, as long as the younger brother is still in the clan for a day, he will never let his sister-in-law and nephew be bullied!" ”

"Okay, with your words of thirteen brothers, you can rest assured that you are a brother!"

Zhou Zhengyong nodded with relief and left with complete relief.

And this time, because Zhou Chun stayed in the family, after Zhou Daoyi, the patriarch, left, he handed over all the family affairs to him to deal with, and let him act as the patriarch in advance.

This is also the last test for him!

If he can do a beautiful job as the acting patriarch this time, then after he succeeds in building the foundation, Zhou Daoyi can take a back seat, improve his cultivation with peace of mind, and impact the Purple Mansion.

Zhou Chun also knew this very well, so after acting as the patriarch, he was conscientious, walking on thin ice, and did not dare to slack off.

This is different from his previous work as a patriarch.

Although the secretary office also participates in the handling of clan affairs, most of them only deal with some small things, or have a fixed disposal method.

In the case of the acting patriarch, except for the word "acting", which means that he is not very appointed, the rest of the powers and responsibilities are generally the same as those of the patriarch.

This means that some major diplomatic matters involving other forces will also be decided by him.

If you don't do this well, you have no work and make a big mistake.

So he can't be careless.

"Zhengchun Xian nephew, a fellow of the He family who is good friends with Uncle Wei recently came to visit Uncle Wei, saying that he found a treasure land guarded by a large group of poisonous bees and demon insects, and he wants to ask Uncle Wei to come over to help, do you think you can approve Uncle Wei to go out for half a month?"

On this day, Zhou Chun was working in the Zhongping Palace, and an elder of the family came to ask for a meeting and made his intention clear.

And after he heard the other party's intention, he immediately recalled the relevant situation of this elder in his mind, and then quickly had an idea.

When even said: "Uncle Twenty-three, you are now an elite member of the family, according to the rules, you can go out for two months a year for private purposes, if you go out for half a month this time, then there will be less than ten days left to go out this year." ”

When the visitor heard this, he immediately responded: "This uncle is naturally clear, and you have agreed to the virtuous nephew?" ”

"Well, Uncle Twenty-three, you can go with confidence, but you have to pay more attention to your own safety."

Zhou Chun nodded, and even issued a release document for him to take to the monk guarding the entrance and exit of the mountain gate for inspection.

According to the rules of the Zhou family, except for the patriarch and elder-level figures, the rest of the clansmen, whether they want to go out of the mountain gate because of personal or official affairs, must come to the patriarch in advance to explain the situation and issue a release document.

Otherwise, not only will the monks who go out without permission be severely punished, but also the people who let them go will also be guilty of the same crime.

This is a must, and without this rule, sometimes people go missing outside, and they don't even know where they went or how they disappeared.

And in doing so, the authority of the patriarch can also be revealed.

Just like now, Zhou Chun, as the acting patriarch, holds such power, and any elder who comes to see him has to be polite, and he doesn't dare to have any tricks.

Otherwise, he could have made it impossible to leave the family forever.

You must know that the so-called rules for going out just now are just rules under normal conditions, just like the weekends in his previous life.

But in fact, the patriarch can use the reason that the family is not enough to have enough manpower and a large number of people needed for security and defense, and he will not let people leave the family.

Or if you want to go out for ten days, I will only give you three days, and if you do not return after the expiration date, you will be punished as a missed date, and you will be fined double the time you go out, and you will be deducted from one year of welfare.

Therefore, unless you become a family elder, as a family monk, you can't offend the patriarch if you offend anyone!

Issuing documents for the clansmen to leave the mountain gate is only one of the daily affairs of the patriarch, and in addition, he has to listen to the reports of the following peaks and halls on various livelihoods.

What elixir is being refined by Hundred Medicine Peak, how many elixirs are going to be used, how many pills are expected to be produced, and what missing accessories are needed for the family's help.

For example, a certain demon beast over there in the beast garden has given birth to a new cub, and the clan can see which clan is willing to make a contract, or if a certain demon beast died unexpectedly, how did it die.

For example, how many casual cultivators are received by the cultivation room every ten years, how much income is there, how many casual cultivators want to guard the "Pure Spirit Pavilion" for the Zhou family to pay off debts with work, and so on.

These various big and small things, as a patriarch, you must understand and know in your heart.

According to Zhou Chun's personal experience, the patriarch in the family is like the cabinet of an entire feudal dynasty, and he must understand all aspects of things clearly, and there can be no major mistakes.

Therefore, a large area in the Zhongping Hall is full of various documents and materials, which is convenient for the patriarch to check and compare in time.

Of course, after all, a family has a limited population and a limited industry, and even if the patriarch needs to manage so many things, he will not be unable to manage it, but he will be a little busy.

But Zhou Chun felt that it was too unnecessary to leave these things to the patriarch, it was a complete waste of the patriarch's time, and it also made many clansmen who wanted to take care of things lose their sense of participation and could not train more managers.

Especially as the Zhou family grows bigger and bigger, the population and industry are increasing, and there will be more and more things involved.

So after he became the acting patriarch for half a month, he had the idea of reforming the establishment in his heart.

However, he is only thinking about this kind of reform now, and he will definitely not implement it immediately, and he will not even be in a hurry to say it.

If he really wants to reform the family structure drastically, he has to wait until he successfully builds the foundation and really starts to take over the position of patriarch from Zhou Daoyi.

Now, it's just a matter of thinking more about what needs to be changed and what doesn't.

Don't worry too much about that.

The knowledge accumulated in his previous life can ensure that the reforms he has made in this regard will not go wrong.

But what Zhou Chun didn't expect was that fifty days after he took over the position of patriarch, a big trouble incident came to his head.

It turned out that on this day, a piece of news quickly spread throughout the various immortal cultivation families in Lanzhou.

That is, a notice came from Qinglian Temple, saying that at least one of the Dragon Transformation Sect protectors had infiltrated Lanzhou and Lingzhou with a number of missionary envoys and many Dragon Transformation Sect members, intending to harass and destroy the rear and hit the morale of the monks in the two places deep in the front line of Yunzhou.

Because I don't know how long this group of Dragon Sect people have been infiltrating Lanzhou, and I don't know how many of them there are.

Qinglian Guan could only inform the various immortal cultivation families in Lanzhou to strictly guard and reduce their outdoor activities, so as not to be attacked and killed by the enemy.

But this announcement is simple, but in practice, it is not easy to do at all.

Now because of the large number of monks who fled from Yunzhou, the various immortal cultivation families in Lanzhou have made a lot of war money.

If you stop going out at this time and close the mountain to defend yourself, the loss will be not small.

The key is that Lanzhou is not on the front line of the war now, and the enemy only has a partial division.

If this enemy infiltrates the sect, and the entire state of the Immortal Cultivator clan is closed to defend itself, it will be easy to choke on food, and it will also make the sect of the Dragon Sect blossom.

But if you don't close the mountain and defend yourself, no one dares to guarantee that your family will not become the target of this infiltrated Dragon Sect Sect Sect.

"Now that the patriarch is not here, the younger generation is acting as the patriarch, so I will invite all the elders to come over today to discuss this matter, I want to listen to the opinions of the elders, and then ask the elders to decide to take it!"

In the Zhongping Palace, Zhou Chun, who knew that the matter was important, also summoned the three elders in the family for the first time to discuss the matter.
