In this battle against the Dragon Sect, the Zhou family's harvest was really huge.

So much so that when these gains were roughly counted, Zhou Chun, Zhou Mingde, and the three of them were a little unbelievable.

In Zhou Daoyi's words, when has the Zhou family been so wide!

Of course, the Zhou family in the era of the three peerless gates in the past was indeed a real wealthy family, the Jindan family.

But since coming to Jiufengling, the life of the Zhou family has always been tight, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are eager to turn a spirit coin into two flowers.

At that time, when he was most short of money, he could only change the spirit coins that were originally distributed as the welfare of the family monks to the clansmen for family good deeds.

At that time, Zhou Daoyi would never have imagined that just twenty or thirty years later, the Zhou family could develop to this level again.

At this time, after being happy with the list for a long time, the three of them followed Zhou Chun's suggestion, and soon gathered all the elders of the family together and held a family meeting to discuss the disposal of these things, and also made a report on the current situation of the family by the way.

I saw that in the Zhongping Palace, Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi sat on the top, Zhou Chun, Zhou Chongshan, Zhou Daoquan on the left, and Zhou Jiarui, Zhou Jiahe, Zhou Jiapeng, and Zhou Zhengyuan on the right.

I saw Zhou Mingde's eyes look around, and then he spoke first.

"There are some things that need to be known to all the elders today."

"But before I can talk about it, the old man has a decision to tell the elders first."

When he said this, he suddenly looked at Zhou Chun and said, "Since Zhengchun successfully built the foundation and took over as the deputy patriarch of the Zhou family, his achievements for the family are obvious to everyone, so there is no need for the old man to repeat them here."

"Therefore, after the discussion between the old man and Daoyi, it was decided that he would officially serve as the patriarch of my Zhou family, with full responsibility for managing all the clans of the family and handling the affairs of the family."

"At the same time, after Dao Yi steps down as the patriarch, he will take up the position of the elder of my Zhou family."

A somewhat unexpected and reasonable decision was said in Zhou Mingde's mouth.

He seems to have only discussed this decision with Zhou Daoyi, and even Zhou Chun didn't know.

Therefore, Zhou Chun also showed a hint of surprise at this time.

The six Zhou family elders were surprised, and then they showed a surging smile.

I saw that Zhou Chongshan, the second elder, was the first to take the lead and said, "Zhengchun is the patriarch, I fully support it."

"I also agree with Masamune as the patriarch."

Zhou Daoquan followed closely behind.

"I fully agree with Elder Taishang's decision."

"I agree too."

"I support Zhengchun as the patriarch."

Zhou Jiarui, Zhou Jiahe, Zhou Jiapeng and others also agreed with the words of support, and unanimously approved Zhou Mingde's decision.

And Zhou Chun, who has always been more humble, is not modest this time.

After all the elders agreed, he directly stood up and bowed to Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi, who were at the top, and said, "Thank you for the trust and support of the two Supreme Elders, the younger generation will definitely do their best to manage the family and make my Zhou family brilliant again!" ….

After speaking, he got up and bowed to the elders on both sides and said, "At the same time, I also thank you for your trust and support, I will be the patriarch in the future, and I also ask the elders to support me as always, believe me, I will not let the elders down!"

Both passages show his strong self-confidence, self-confidence from the inside out.

At times like these, he must also be confident.

When everyone is optimistic about him and believes in him, if he is not even confident in himself, how can he do it!

"Then this matter is decided, and after a while when all the families have eased up, a celebration will be held to invite the patriarchs of all parties who are good friends with the family to come and witness this."

Zhou Mingde spoke again, and directly confirmed this matter with a final word.

Then he glanced down at the crowd again

The man said slowly, "Now let Zhengchun tell you about the gains and losses of the family in this war."

When the words fell, he saw Zhou Chun get up again, and there was an extra account book in his hand.

"I'll start with the harvest."

"In this war, the family's gains are very huge, so big that it is terrifying!"

"According to the current statistics, the family has harvested a total of five third-order magic weapons in this war, including two third-order medium-grade magic weapons, three third-order low-grade magic weapons, and four third-order magic runes."

"At the same time, the family harvested a total of thirty-seven second-order magic weapons, including seven second-order high-grade magic weapons, twelve second-order middle-grade magic weapons, eighteen second-order lower-grade magic weapons, and thirty-two second-order magic symbols."

"As for the first-order magic weapons, a total of one hundred and forty-six pieces were harvested, including sixty-eight first-order high-grade magic weapons, seventy-eight first-order middle-grade magic weapons, and four hundred and thirty-six first-order magic weapons."

"In terms of elixirs, there are a total of 1,356 pills harvested by the family, and there are 17 kinds of pills, of which 8 are suitable for the foundation building period monks."

"In terms of formations, the family has harvested five sets of formation equipment."

"In terms of elixir, there are two thousand-year-old elixirs harvested by the family this time, namely the thousand-year-old water jade lingzhi and the thousand-year-old radix radix, and at the same time, there are five eight-hundred-year-old elixirs, seven seven-hundred-year-old elixirs, twenty-eight six-hundred-year-old elixirs, thirty-nine five-hundred-year-old elixirs, and sixty-eight four-hundred-year-old elixirs!"

"The rest of the elixirs that are more than 100 years old and less than 400 years old have a total of 354 strains!"

"In terms of demon beasts, this time the family has harvested a total of nine red-eyed dragon vultures, fifteen dragon claw monitor lizards, thirty-three dragon scale horses, and another intermediate demon beast blood flame dragon python egg, and twenty-six low-level demon beast eggs."

"The rest of the harvested spiritual gold ore and other things add up to a total of eighteen kinds, including precious things such as iron essence and third-order demon pills."

"In addition, the family has harvested a total of twenty-three kinds of exercises, fourteen kinds of secret cultivation methods, five refining classics, three alchemy classics, six talisman classics, two formation classics, six Dan Fangs, and three formation diagrams."

"In addition, this time the family has also harvested more than 37,500 spirit coins that can be used in the Yasukuni Immortal Cultivation Realm."

"In the end, there are more than 3,200 pieces of various demon beast materials harvested by the family this time, and more than 2,300 demon beast corpses." ….

"And these harvests are only the gains that the family has now, as for the exploits made by the family monks in the war, we still need to wait for the three major sects to complete the statistics before issuing rewards."

Zhou Chun held the account book in his hand and read out the harvest recorded on it paragraph by paragraph.

Every time he recites a paragraph, except for Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi, who have read the account books in advance, the other Zhou family elders will have their eyes widened.

When he finished talking about all the gains, the Zhou family elders present had already opened their eyes to the maximum, and looked at the account book in his hand with shocked faces.

Although it is said that several Zhou family elders who participated in the battle of the Southern Expedition know that the Zhou family's harvest this time will not be small.

But they never imagined in advance that the harvest could be so large!

They were all foundation building period monks, and even if they might not be very clear about the market price, they also roughly knew how much money the magic weapons, magic talismans, and pills that Zhou Chun said could be sold for.

That's definitely a huge amount that even Jindan monks can covet!

"Is this all true? Is the harvest really that big?"

Zhou Zhengyuan, who had been in the family all the time, had not participated in the battle of the Southern Expedition, and had not rushed to the front line of resisting the beast tide, muttered with shock and disbelief on his face.

He had seen all those demon beasts and elixirs.

Although with his alchemy skills, the elixir that is more than five hundred years old will not be used by him at all, but he does know that the Zhou family has obtained this large number of elixirs.

But what Zhou Chun said about the harvest of magic weapons and other things is what he doesn't know.

"Of course it's true, everything in this has been personally counted by me and the two Supreme Elders, and there is nothing false about it."

Zhou Chun's face was gloomy

Jing responded to Zhou Zhengyuan's question.

Then he said, "Of course, the family's gains are indeed great, but the losses are not small, so now I will talk about the losses."

"Before and after this war, the family lost a total of twenty-seven monks, including twenty-three monks from their own clan and four monks from their relatives!"

"At the same time, the family has lost as many as thirty-eight demon beast spirit pets, including the earth armor bear of the three elders!"

"And the family's loss in materials this time is also huge, most of the magic rune pills stored before the war have been consumed, a total of thirty-five second-order magic runes, more than 1,600 first-order magic runes, and more than 500 pills, and the mountain protection array has also been seriously damaged in the war!"

"At the same time, the family spent a total of 32,000 spirit coins to compensate the fallen clansmen, and more than 9,600 spirit coins were spent on recruiting scattered cultivators!"

"And that's not even counting the Second Elder, the Fourth Elder, and the injured ones."

Hearing this, the smiles on the faces of those elders who were originally full of smiles also converged a lot.

The victory in the war is indeed worth celebrating, and the great gains are also worth rejoicing, but those who have fallen in battle need to be remembered and mourned even more.

At this time, listening to Zhou Chun talk about those clansmen who died in battle, how could these elders still laugh.

At this time, Zhou Mingde slowly said loudly: "The deceased has passed away, those clansmen who died for the family, they are all the heroes of my Zhou family, the Zhou family will remember their sacrifices and contributions, and we can't let their sacrifices be in vain!" ….

"Alright, let me tell you about the arrangements for these harvests in person!"

When he said this, his eyes swept over the faces of the elders in turn, and then he said in a deep voice, "This harvest, because it is basically obtained by the high-level monks of the family who participated in the war by relying on their own strength, it is reasonable to give priority to them in terms of distribution!"

"Therefore, the old man thinks that according to everyone's previous performance and gains, seventy percent of the gains they have gained on the battlefield should be attributed to themselves, and another one percent should be used to reward the monks left behind in the family, and the remaining twenty percent should be rushed into the family treasury!"

"Do you have any opinions on this distribution method?"

Hearing his words, Zhou Jiarui and the other elders couldn't help but look at each other, and then it was Zhou Chongshan who took the lead in responding: "There are many capable people, and the juniors have no opinion on this distribution method of the Supreme Elder."

"The juniors don't have any opinions!"

"Everything is subject to the arrangement of the Supreme Elder!"

"The juniors approve of this distribution."

The rest of the Zhou family elders spoke up in agreement, and no one had an opinion on this.

In fact, except for Zhou Jiahe and Zhou Zhengyuan, who have been staying at home, the rest of them can be regarded as having participated in the battle of the Southern Expedition, and according to this distribution method, their harvest will not be low.

And these two people are not people with big ambitions, and they are relatively satisfied with their current cultivation and status, so they naturally will not go against most people in this kind of thing.

Seeing this, Zhou Mingde also nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, since you have no opinions, then after you calculate your share later, let you choose how to settle according to the actual situation."

After speaking, he said to Zhou Chun, "Now Zhengchun, tell everyone about the current situation of the family."

Hearing this, Zhou Chun stood up again, then hugged the account book and said, "The family now has a total of 177 monks from his own clan, 21 monks from his relatives, including two monks from the Purple Mansion period, seven monks from the foundation building period, 33 monks in the late stage of Qi refining, 74 monks in the middle stage of Qi refining, 53 monks in the early stage of Qi refining, and 17 people from the pre-Dao clan."

"In addition, the family has now adopted twenty-six domestic servants and dead, and eighteen of them have already entered the early stage of qi refining."

Thanks to the Zhou family's policy of encouraging childbirth over the years, the number of monks in the Zhou family has increased a lot in the past ten years.

If it weren't for the loss of more than 20 clansmen in the war, the number of monks of the Zhou family's own clan would have exceeded 200 now.

But to be honest, compared to the number of middle and high-level monks in the Zhou family's current two Purple Mansion Stage and seven Foundation Building Stage monks, this number of Qi Refining Stage monks is far from enough.

But the population growth of the monks of this clan is not something that can be done overnight, and Zhou Chun has no good way to do this matter, so he can only wait for himself to become the patriarch, and then find a way to see if he can introduce birth subsidy measures to boost the desire of the monks of the Zhou family to have children.

At this time, hearing him talk about the family's monk population first, Zhou Mingde also took the opportunity to ask him a question.

"Although the number of family monks has increased over the years, it is undoubtedly a little backward compared to the development of the family, and the shortcomings of the family's lack of manpower in this war have been exposed, and there will be many places where the family needs to employ people on a large scale in the future, do you have any ideas?"

Zhou Mingde had not discussed this issue with Zhou Chun in advance, and it was a surprise attack at this time.

Therefore, after Zhou Chun listened to his words, he was also a little stunned.

However, Zhou Chun quickly understood what Zhou Mingde was going to say.

Then he pondered for a moment, and then spoke, "The growth of the number of family cultivators is not something that can be improved in one or two years, and the growth of a generation will take at least thirty years, even if the family now adds a hundred newborns with spiritual root qualifications, it will be thirty or fifty years before they grow up and can be used by the family!"

"Therefore, the younger generation thinks that if you want to hire people on a large scale outside the family in the future, you can only choose to hire outsiders!"
