The mysterious reward of the Zhou family after entering the top 30 of the "Hundred Clans Conference" is now known to all the elders of the Zhou family.

Therefore, it is not surprising that Zhou Mingde said that there are many places where the Zhou family needs to employ people on a large scale in the future.

However, Zhou Chun's current answer made several elders frown.

Zhou Mingde also frowned slightly and said, "Of course, hiring outsiders is a way, but can outsiders be trusted?"

"Those casual cultivators are selfish and selfish, they are mothers if they have milk, it's okay to hire them as thugs for things like resisting the beast tide, if it involves dealing with other forces, or things like resource exploitation, even if someone supervises them, it's hard to guarantee that they won't try their best to sell the interests of the family!"

Of course, Zhou Chun also knows this.

At this time, he said unhurriedly, "Elder Taishang said very reasonably, but he ignored the components of scattered cultivation."

"In the eyes of our big families, those immortal cultivation families that don't have a fixed mountain gate station and don't have a foundation building monk to sit in are all scattered cultivators!"

"But I think everyone knows that in addition to the fact that those people don't have a mountain gate station and don't have a foundation building monk, they are actually the same immortal cultivation family, they have a family and a small family!"

"In addition, there are many husbands and wives, fathers and sons, and master-apprentice relationships in the casual practice, and these people also have concerns for each other."

Speaking of this, Zhou Chun glanced at the thoughtful Zhou Mingde and the elders, and then said, "Therefore, in my opinion, we can have two sets of standards for hiring casual cultivators, when we encounter the kind of things that need to clean up demon beasts and resist the attacks of the beast tide, we can hire anyone, and some of the more delicate things are only hired to do those who have families, small and small concerns."

"Of course, in order to do this well, we usually need to invest some more people to collect the materials of the scattered cultivators, so that when the time comes to hire people to do things, it is convenient to find people directly, and this kind of thing can also be done by hiring those casual cultivators!"

"We can even make a little investment in some casual cultivation with good temperament and talent, such as allowing him to meditate and practice at Zhoujia Mountain Gate for free, selling some cultivation resources to them at cost price, or giving them a magic weapon in the form of half cash spirit coins and half loans."

"Maybe not every investment will be rewarded, but as long as half of the investment can get a useful return, it can also make the family less overstretched in the future!"

After he said this, he saw Zhou Mingde and all the elders of the Zhou family bowing their heads and thinking about his words.

After a while, Zhou Daoyi was the first to speak, "Great goodness, what you said is indeed a mouth-watering, and all of them are practical actions!"

Zhou Mingde also nodded again and again: "That's right, it's not that you are talking about this, and it is indeed difficult for the old man to realize this."

The difficulty they realize is related to their own upbringing.

They grew up in a strong Zhou family, and they have always had a disdain for loose cultivation in their hearts, and they have also seen a lot of ugly things done for the sake of a little profit between casual cultivation.

This kind of experience naturally made them disbelieve and dislike Sanxiu in their hearts. ….

Therefore, even when it comes time to hire outsiders to help, they will form an instinctive rejection of casual cultivation in their hearts.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that the Zhou family did not encounter anything that required large-scale hiring of outsiders to do things before, and if they didn't do it, they naturally had no experience.

And Zhou Chun didn't have that kind of heartfelt rejection and aversion to casual cultivation, and secondly, because of the influence of memory in his previous life, he was very familiar with hiring people to do things, so it was naturally easy to think of these.

But Zhou Chun knows these things in his heart, so naturally he won't say it.

At this time, seeing that everyone was satisfied with his proposal, he took advantage of the situation and threw out a reform proposal that he had thought of before the war began.

"Since the two Supreme Elders and the elders have no objection to hiring a casual cultivator, I am here to share my other thoughts."

"I found out before that because of the family's many things, it cost the clan a lot

Time has seriously hindered the development of the family cultivators in other directions of immortal cultivation skills, and it has also given them the opportunity and time to go out and hone themselves."

"So I was thinking, can we take out some unimportant things, such as feeding the demon beasts, taking care of the medicinal field spirit grass, and other related things, and entrust them to the scattered cultivators?"

"If it is difficult for ordinary casual cultivators to trust, we can also choose some small family monks to do this, and even cultivate these small families into vassal families that are specially for our Zhou family to raise beasts and grow medicines!"

As Zhou Chun expected, after hearing his suggestion, someone immediately raised a different opinion, and that person was Zhou Chongshan, the second elder who had always been more conservative.

I saw Zhou Chongshan said slowly: "I don't think it's appropriate for you to think this idea, the reason why my Zhou family let the clansmen do the work of raising demon beasts and taking care of the medicine fields is not to save any money, but to hone them, so that they can have a clearer understanding of the habits of demon beasts and elixirs, and can apply what they have learned."

"If they hire casual cultivators to do these things, not to mention the spirit coins they spend, it is also a lot of money, what if they do it behind their families' backs? What if they learn the family's animal taming skills?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Zhou Chun reply: "I have naturally thought about what the second elder said, but life is different and different, even if my Zhou family is a heirloom with the art of beast control, not everyone in the clan will like these, and as senior elders, there is no need to let them learn this."

"The art of beast control is certainly the characteristic of our Zhou family, but it can't be the only one, like formations, refining weapons, alchemy, and talismans, our Zhou family should also train some people to do it, at least we must be able to produce it on the commonly used low-level magic runes, pills, and magic weapons!"

"And Second Elder, you also know that in order to achieve success in these skills, each of them will consume a lot of resources, not to mention, and it will also take up a lot of the monk's time."

"As for worrying about the damage caused by scattered cultivation, we can also use a grading method to divide the population of important demon beasts such as the red-eyed dragon vulture, dragon claw monitor lizard, dragon scale horse, octagonal deer, and red flame Vajra monkey into the highest level, and only let the family monks take care of the contact, and let the rest of the ordinary demon beasts be taken care of by hired people, so that the loss caused by them will not be much." ….

"And in terms of skills, then don't worry, even if you learn some of our Zhou family's animal taming skills, what can you do? Can they build a beast garden and cultivate demon beasts like our Zhou family? Can they master the refining methods of the Beast Spirit Pill and the Demon Spirit Pill? Can they learn my Zhou family's secret techniques of beast control?"

"Without those secret elixirs and secret techniques of my Zhou family, just learning some ways to domesticate demon beasts, how could it be a threat to my Zhou family!"

Speaking of this, Zhou Chun continued: "I know that if we want to cultivate some monks who know how to form formations, alchemy, refining weapons, and talismans, it will not cost a small amount, but if we don't do it all the time, there will never be!"

"And this time the family has gained a lot, and in the future, they will be able to earn a steady stream of income from the wilderness, I think it's time to do these things!"

After he finished speaking, he saw that Zhou Chongshan also showed a thoughtful look and thought about what he said.

In terms of family change, Zhou Chongshan has indeed always been a little conservative, but he is not really a rigid and conservative person who does not know how to be flexible.

Conservative can also be cautious, because he is cautious about every change made to the family, and is very concerned about the impact of this change on the family, which makes him appear conservative when facing this change.

If, after thinking twice, he thinks that the benefits of change far outweigh the disadvantages for the family, then he will not oppose the change.

Zhou Chun also understood this as early as in the process of dealing with him again and again.

So every time he wants to make any changes, Zhou Chun will consider it from his perspective and look for points that he can accept.

In this regard, it is precisely because of his conservatism that Zhou Chun will do better.

At this time, after thinking about it, Zhou Chongshan looked at the first two Supreme Elders.

Then he asked softly, "What do the two Supreme Elders think of the patriarch's idea?"

"I think so

It makes sense, if our Zhou family wants to recast its glory in the future, we should not only focus on this one-third of an acre of land in the family, but also open our eyes to the outside world."

"If you can give the family monks more time to look outside, sharpen themselves, and find and discover their own talents, it will naturally improve the family's heritage in all aspects."

Zhou Daoyi bowed his head lightly, and first expressed his support for Zhou Chun.

Looking at Zhou Mingde's side again, after frowning slightly, he also followed: "The old man generally agrees with what Zhengchun said, but even if the family is rich now, when cultivating those clansmen who are alchemizing and refining weapons, they should also proceed slowly, and they must not be in a hurry, and take too big steps, so as not to waste the family's resources in vain."

As soon as the words fell, Zhou Chun replied with a respectful face: "Yes, the juniors must remember the teachings of the Supreme Elder, and they will definitely implement this matter cautiously."

Seeing this, Zhou Chongshan also nodded and said, "Since the two Supreme Elders both think that this matter is feasible, then I have no opinion."

Next, Zhou Chun talked about some of the family's income and expenditure and some plans for the future, and then ended the meeting.

After the meeting, Zhou Chun took out the second-order magic weapons that he had harvested and asked the elders to choose first, and the rest would be temporarily stored in the family treasure house and slowly sold in the future. ….

Now that I have just experienced a big war, because the war has caused many monks to fall, and many monks have obtained the relics of the enemy, which has caused the price of magic weapons in the market to plummet a lot.

Originally, a magic weapon that required 400 spirit coins may now be able to buy it without 300 spirit coins.

Therefore, except for some monks who are in urgent need of spirit coins, most immortal cultivation families will not choose to sell magic weapons in exchange for spirit coins at this time.

And just half a month after Zhou Mingde and the others returned to Zhou's house, an expected person came to Zhou's house.

"Lin Daoyou came to the Zhou family this time, is he here to speak for Senior Lin?"

On the pagoda peak, after Zhou Chun personally took Lin Wan'er, who came to visit, into the mountain gate, he also asked the other party unabashedly.

Ever since the fourth-order mid-grade Red Fire Jiao in the Red Dragon Hall was killed by Jin Chixuan, Zhou Mingde had been waiting for Lin Hongyu to take the initiative to come over and contact the Zhou family.

Now that more than half a month has passed, Lin Wan'er, the goddaughter accepted by Lin Hongyu, has finally come to the Zhou family again.

At this time, in the face of Zhou Chun's inquiry, Lin Wan'er did not shy away from nodding and responded: "It is indeed the godmother who asked me to come, but the godmother's letter can only be handed over to Senior Zhou by me personally."

"Understood, then Zhou will take Daoist friends to meet Elder Taishang."

Zhou Chun nodded, and immediately took Lin Wan'er to Zhou Mingde's cave on the top of the mountain.

When he arrived in the cave, Zhou Mingde was also happy when he saw Lin Wan'er, and when he explained his intention and handed over Lin Hongyu's letter and jade slip, he couldn't wait to take it in his hand and check it.

He quickly finished reading Lin Hongyu's message in the jade slip, and then looked up at Lin Wan'er with a slight twinkle in his eyes and asked, "Miss Lin, have you met Lin Daoyou?"

When Lin Wan'er heard what he said, she was also slightly stunned, and then said respectfully: "The junior met with her godmother four days ago, and this jade slip was also given to the junior at that time!"

"Then take a look at the contents of this jade slip for yourself!"

Zhou Mingde said, and handed the jade slip in his hand back to Lin Wan'er.

Seeing this scene, Lin Wan'er's eyes suddenly condensed slightly, and then she took the jade slip and looked at it.

After she finished reading the contents of the jade slip, her face suddenly changed drastically, and she was speechless for a long time.

After waiting for a quarter of an hour without seeing her speak, Zhou Mingde could only speak out first: "Lin Daoyou's arrangement, the old man is not good at anything, if Miss Lin has no intention of serving the Zhou family, the old man and the Zhou family will not force Daoyou."

Hearing his words, Lin Wan'er, who had been silent, finally responded.

I saw him shake his head slightly and said, "No, the junior doesn't mean that, since it is the godmother's arrangement, the junior will naturally not object!"

After speaking, he said in a low tone, "Only

It's the juniors who can't figure it out, since the godmother is going to Chengguo to recuperate, why don't she bring the juniors with her? Even if the junior cultivation is low, I can help her watch the door and run errands!"

It turned out that although Lin Hongyu had not forgotten the benefits she had promised the Zhou family, she did not dare to meet Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi in private when she was seriously injured now.

So she went to Chengguo to recuperate from her injuries first, and then came back to meet Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi after her injuries healed, and gave the benefits she had promised.

And maybe she wanted to win the trust of Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi, or she really wanted to find a place for Lin Wan'er, so she told her in the letter that she would leave Lin Wan'er in the Zhou family to serve.

And in order to make the Zhou family feel at ease to accept Lin Wan'er, she also suggested that Lin Wan'er use the dragon spirit blood of Qingjiao Qingqing to cultivate the "Secret of Dragon Transformation".
