Pagoda Peak, inside the Zhongping Hall.

Today, all the foundation-building monks of the Zhou family gathered in the Zhongping Hall, not to discuss any major events that would affect the life and death of the family.

But it is clear that the importance of what is being discussed is not in the least of that importance.

Especially after the Zhou family's financial problems were exposed, all the elders were shocked.

In the past, although the elders of the Zhou family also had the right to inquire about clan affairs, they also had the responsibility of supervision.

But unless the patriarch takes the initiative to invite the elders to participate when he is faced with some major decision and cannot make a decision easily, the elders will not inquire much about family affairs.

This is to show trust in the patriarch, and secondly, I don't want to waste time on these things.

After all, the real role of these elders to the family is the powerful combat power they can provide, as well as the immortal cultivation skills they have mastered.

Therefore, the patriarch is in charge of the internal and external affairs of the family, responsible for governing the family, and the elder is responsible for concentrating on cultivation and providing combat power guarantees, which is the mode of operation of many immortal cultivation families and even sects.

The Zhou family is naturally no exception.

But just because you don't ask questions doesn't mean that the elders really don't know anything about family affairs and don't understand the harm that some things can do to the family.

After all, who can become a family elder, who has not cultivated for dozens or hundreds of years, experienced and seen all kinds of big and small things.

With this experience, even people who are not gifted can see the good or bad of some things and understand the seriousness of some things.

The so-called family has an old man, if there is a treasure, the same is true.

Therefore, when Zhou Chun told the Zhou family about the financial payment crisis that might arise, all the elders present attached great importance to it.

It is true that, as Zhou Chun said, although the population crisis is equally serious, it has a long time to take effect, and it can be resolved slowly.

But the fiscal crisis is a different story.

The outbreak of the fiscal payment crisis was very fast.

If you really wait until the crisis is detonated before you find a solution, it will be too late!

Therefore, at this time, any population issues were temporarily put aside by the elders, and they were only concerned about one thing.

How to solve or delay the financial payment crisis that may erupt!

At this time, in the face of the expectant gaze of the patriarch Zhou Daoyi and the family elders, Zhou Chun also said eloquently: "To solve the financial crisis that the family is currently experiencing, there are no more than two ways, open source and reduce expenditure!" ”

"The family's current money-making channels and methods are still a little too few, which seriously limits the family's income, so we must find ways to expand new money-making channels and improve the money-making benefits of existing money-making channels!"

"Throttling is naturally to control and suspend some temporarily unnecessary expenses to achieve the effect of reducing expenditures."

Speaking of this, Zhou Chun also did not shy away from saying: "In fact, the younger generation has analyzed and studied the family income and expenditure records in the past ten years, and found that if it weren't for the big sale of the Chiyao Iron Vein and the Touch of Despair that provided a lot of income for the family, the family's financial payment crisis would have started two years earlier!" ”

Although he said that he was boasting, what he said was the truth.

Patriarch Zhou Daoyi also nodded very sincerely: "Yes, if it weren't for the Chiyao Iron Ore Vein that you discovered at the beginning, and for helping the family develop the Desperate Touch Poison to stabilize the source of Spirit Beast Zhai customers, the family would indeed have no spirit coin left in the account now!" ”

The other family elders naturally knew that these were Zhou Chun's achievements, and the eyes that looked at him at this time were also full of appreciation and gratitude.

At this time, Zhou Chun shook his head and said: "But now that the output of the Chiyao iron vein is close to exhaustion, it is about to completely lose its large-scale mining value, and the price of raw materials for Touch of Despair has also increased a lot, and it is difficult for this thing to bring much effective income to the family." ”

"So what to do? Zhengchun, you just said that you want to open source, do you have any better ideas? ”

The fourth elder Zhou Jiarui looked at Zhou Chun expectantly and asked, hoping that he, the amazing descendant of the family, would be able to make contributions to the family again and continue his life.

Several other people also looked at Zhou Chun one after another, their eyes full of expectation.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun nodded and said, "Let's talk about the family's way of making money now." ”

"At present, the way the family makes money is generally three major blocks, the shop in the fang market, the cultivation rent of the scattered cultivators, and the trade with other forces."

"On the side of the Fang market store, although it looks stable at present, but in the case of strong competitors, it is very good to be able to maintain the existing income, and then we want to have any high growth, unless we can launch a new product with good effect and large output!"

"The cultivation rent of casual cultivation is very promising, our Zhou family has a good reputation now, and it has attracted a lot of casual cultivators to settle around Jiufeng Ridge to settle and practice, if there are three or five hundred casual cultivators who will regard our Zhou family as a place to cultivate, then the annual rental income alone will be considerable!"

"Therefore, the junior suggested that the Zhou family could take out a sum of money to form a security team to protect the safety of the scattered cultivators who settled around Jiufengling, and severely crack down on the robbery and killing of others in the surrounding area, so as to attract the scattered cultivators to settle down!"

"Of course, the consequences of doing this are also obvious, it will attract some bandits to deliberately target, and it may also be plotted by the forces that are jealous of our Zhou family, whether it should be done or not depends on the opinions of the elders."

"In the end, it's the income from trade with other forces, and this one is also promising!"

When Zhou Chun said this, his eyes couldn't help but look at the third elder, Zhou Daoquan.

"The trade income of the Zhou family and other forces was only a large batch of family specialty medicines and demon beast rations before."

"But in fact, those demon beasts raised by our Zhou family can also become bestsellers!"

"I roughly calculated, with the current increase rate of the family's monk population, many demon beasts raised by the family will have a faster rate of reproduction than the increase in the family's population."

"Populations of high-quality demon beasts such as the Emerald Crowned Flying Snake, the Octagonal Water Deer, the Rock Armor Ground Python, and the Red Flame Wolf, as long as enough food is provided, their reproduction rate will be greater than that of ordinary demon beasts."

"If the Beast Garden can supply even ten low-level demon beast cubs of all kinds to outsiders every year, then it can generate thousands of spirit coins for the family!"

After he finished speaking, the other elders also looked at the third elder, Zhou Daoquan.

The Zhou family's animal garden has always been in charge of him, and he is also doing all kinds of cultivation tasks.

Whether he can increase the output of demon beast cubs in the beast garden, he knows better than anyone else.

Facing everyone's gaze, Zhou Daoquan groaned for a while, and then said: "Forget it, the number of this species is not even enough for the family at present, and it is not suitable for sale until the population exceeds fifty!" ”

"As for the other demon beast cubs, it is true that some of them can be released to sell for profit, and ten per year should not be a big problem!"

When Zhou Chun heard this, he immediately said: "That's good, it can be regarded as a new channel for open source." ”

At this time, the fourth elder Zhou Jiarui's expression suddenly moved, and he said, "Anyway, how is that Red Flame Vajra Monkey now?" Seven or eight years have passed, and it should have become a first-order high-grade demon beast, right? ”

"The Red Flame Vajra Monkey has indeed become a first-order high-grade demon beast last year, but this beast has not yet fully matured, and it has not yet mated with a female red-tailed monkey!"

Zhou Daoquan said this, and continued: "But it should be fast, three years if it is slow, and one year if it is fast, it should challenge the status of the monkey king of the King Kong Monkey!" ”

Hearing his words, Zhou Jiarui also sighed lightly: "Hey, then I hope it can pass on the bloodline, so that my Zhou family can really have another powerful war beast!" ”

At the beginning, Zhou Daoquan said two routes for cultivating the population of Red Flame King Kong monkeys.

Now, in the past few years, the Vajra Monkey has not been able to reproduce a new Red Flame Vajra Monkey with the Red-tailed Monkey, nor has it been able to give birth to a new Vajra Monkey.

If you want to truly realize the population of the Red Flame Vajra Monkey, the only hope falls on the Red Flame Vajra Monkey.

Zhou Chun continued at this time: "As far as open source is concerned, these are the open source methods that can be realized at present. ”

"Now I'll talk about throttling!"

"Throttling is actually more difficult than open source, because the family has been able to save money before, and all aspects are saving expenses!"

"There are only two ways I can think of to reduce expenditure, one is to change the rewards of family tasks in the future, turn the original pure rewards of good deeds into some good deeds and treasures accumulated in the treasure house, and clean up some useless stocks."

"The second is to encourage the clansmen to accumulate good deeds and use them to exchange for foundation building spiritual objects in the future!"

Throttling is by no means a reduction in the welfare of the clansmen!

Zhou Chun knows this very well.

The unity of the family, in addition to the blood and family affection, is that the family monks are obviously much stronger than the scattered cultivators.

Reducing the welfare benefits of the clansmen is not to the point of being forced to do so, and it must not be used!

But even so, after listening to his suggestion to throttle, Second Elder Zhou Chongshan still said: "Exchange for foundation building spiritual objects, I'm afraid you have to be cautious about this matter!" ”

"The exchange of the Ascension Spirit Fruit before has caused a lot of turmoil in the family, if this is used to lure the clansmen to accumulate good deeds, it can certainly play a role in slowing down the cashing crisis, but in case a clansman really makes up enough good deeds through fundraising, how can we cash him in?"

Foundation building artifacts are not easy to obtain!

Any kind of foundation-building spiritual object, even if it is a spiritual object like the Ascension Spirit Fruit, is something that can only be obtained by chance and luck.

Therefore, Zhou Chongshan's statement is not unforgiving.

But since Zhou Chun made this suggestion, he must have also taken this into account.

He immediately said: "So we want to revise a clan rule, when an individual family monk accumulates five thousand family good deeds through the means of contribution such as welfare offerings and task rewards, he can become the foundation building seed of the family and enjoy the priority right to exchange foundation building spiritual objects!" ”

"You can even count the legacy of your deceased father to increase the loyalty and sense of belonging of the family monks!"

"In this way, if someone can still borrow six or seven thousand family good deeds, it means that he must be a person who is widely trusted and admired by the clan, then it is only natural that we should try our best to support him to build a foundation?"

After hearing his words, Zhou Chongshan also fell silent and fell into thought.

After a while, before Zhou Chongshan could speak, the patriarch Zhou Daoyi clapped his hands and shouted: "Wonderful, this plan is very good, and it makes sense." ”

"But if you want to revise the clan rules, you have to agree with Elder Taishang!"

As soon as his patriarch expressed his support, Zhou Chongshan on the side frowned, but in the end he did not raise any further objections.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun also took advantage of the situation and said: "Of course, all the things discussed here today should be finally let the Supreme Elder look at it, and it will be implemented after his old man's consent!" ”

"So, is there anything else you'd like to say?"

Zhou Daoyi looked at Zhou Chun and asked, his face full of encouragement.

He knew Zhou Chun very well, and knew that Zhou Chun had put on such a big battle today, it should not only be about these difficulties and troubles, as well as the solution to the difficulties, there must be other things to do.

Judging from Zhou Chun's performance before, today's Zhou Chun is obviously fully prepared.

So he was also looking forward to Zhou Chun's follow-up performance.

In the face of his help, Zhou Chun was also very grateful in his heart, and immediately said: "Patriarch Mingjian, the younger generation also wants to take this opportunity to put forward some opinions on the internal reform of the family!" ”

Hearing him mention the word "reform" again, the second elder Zhou Chongshan twitched his eyebrows again, stared at him with his eyes and said, "Oh, what do you want to reform?" It can't be the last time! ”

Zhou Chun also seemed to have guessed that Zhou Chongshan would say this, and immediately smiled and said: "Second Elder, rest assured, the younger generation's reform this time is not that big!" ”

"Really? The old man listened. ”

Zhou Chongshan's eyes flashed with a different color, and he replied.

At this time, Zhou Chun clasped his hands into fists and saluted the high-ranking Zhou family in the hall and said: "Elders Mingjian, the younger generations have always thought that the original internal management structure of the family was a little inefficient, some delayed the efficiency of work, and wasted a lot of manpower and material resources for no reason. ”

"And after the investigation and visit of a large number of clansmen by the younger generation, it was also found that some clansmen wanted to do something for the family and had the ability to do something for the family, but they have been suffering from not having the opportunity to do things in their suitable positions!"

"Therefore, the younger generation wants to improve all aspects of the family, so that this part of the clan can give full play to their talents in the positions they like and are good at!"

Speaking of which, he didn't wait for the elders to ask him how he wanted to reform, and he took the initiative to state his plan.

"The younger generation is ready to take back the power of the peak masters, and set up five halls within the family, namely the Internal Affairs Hall, the External Affairs Hall, the Hundred Beast Hall, the Hundred Arts Hall, and the Hundred Medicine Hall, to be responsible for the operation of the family's affairs, and each hall will set up a deacon, a number of clerks, and replace the personnel at a later date!"

"At the same time, there are three separate deacons, who are in charge of finance, supervision, and criminal punishment, and are directly under the jurisdiction of the patriarch."

"All deacons are accountable to the patriarch!"
