The Zhou family's finances are in trouble!

This was Zhou Yang's first reaction after listening to the report of Zhou Xuanhe, an elder in charge of finance.

On the surface, the Zhou family's spirit stones have a lot of savings every year, and more than 15,000 spirit stones have been saved in more than ten years, which looks very beautiful.

But in fact, counting the family contribution points issued by the Zhou family every year, it will be found that the Zhou family's finances have actually entered a state of making ends meet.

If Zhou Yang hadn't come up with a way to replace the spirit stone with the family's contribution points as a family welfare offering, not only would there be no balance of spirit stones in the family account now, but also the spirit stones owed to the family monks!

However, Zhou Yang also knew that no one could be blamed for this situation, because no one thought that the Zhou family's monk population would increase so much in just one or two decades, let alone that so many monks in the foundation building period of the family would appear at once.

Those contribution points were spent, and they, the monks of the foundation building period, accounted for nearly one-third.

It can only be said that the Zhou family's current territory and industry are no longer worthy of the Zhou family's current strength status, and they can't keep up with the Zhou family's population growth rate, so developing new industries and expanding the family's territory is the first priority of the Zhou family.

Zhou Yang turned these thoughts in his heart, but his face remained unchanged and looked at Zhou Xuanhe and nodded: "I know the situation, Uncle Fourteen, you sit down first, I will ask some questions next, I hope you and all the clansmen can solve my doubts with your heart!"

After he finished speaking, he looked at Zhou Xuanying, the new elder of the family's general affairs hall, and asked: "Thirteenth aunt, your general affairs hall is responsible for managing the distribution of family tasks, and the family monks have to report their experiences to you when they come back, whether they go out to practice or guard a certain place, then do you know that in the past ten years, how many family monks have had the experience of fighting with others? How many people have had fighting experience with demon beasts of the same level? How many people have successfully killed monks of the same level or demon beasts of the same level?"

Zhou Xuanying didn't expect him to ask like this, and he was somewhat at a loss when he heard the words.

However, after all, she is also a person who has been practicing for hundreds of years, so she quickly suppressed the panic in her heart, and said in a calm voice: "I am not prepared for this matter, and I ask the patriarch to allow me to check the information before answering." ”

"Then Thirteen Aunt, you check the information first, and I'll ask the others first. ”

Zhou Yang nodded, but he didn't blame this clan aunt, after all, the Zhou family didn't pay too much attention to this kind of thing in the past, and the reason why they wanted to keep the bottom was also to have a well-documented biography for a certain monk in the future.

So he turned his gaze and looked at Zhou Guangxiang, the leader of the younger generation of the Zhou family, and asked, "Guangxiang, you have been in charge of Yuquan Tower for a few years, and let me ask you, how many of the things that are now sold in Yuquan Mansion are consigned by the clansmen?"

Maybe it's the reason why he is only in charge of one shop, or maybe it's the reason why young people are in power for the first time and do everything in order to do a good job, Zhou Guangxiang was just stunned for a moment after hearing Zhou Yang's question, and then got up and said after a little hesitation: "Patriarch Mingjian, if you want to say the specific number of pieces, my nephew can't say for sure, but in general, the things that the clansmen consign account for about 30% of the items in the store, and the things sold may be less than half of the total!"

"Very good, Guangxiang, you answered very well, now you also sit down, I still have a question for Uncle Fourteen. ”

Zhou Yang nodded with satisfaction, looked at the fourteenth uncle Zhou Xuanhe again, and asked in a deep voice: "Fourteenth uncle, you reported the family's financial income and expenditure earlier, then I ask you now, who are the top five people in the family who have the most contribution points except for our three foundation building period monks, and how many contribution points do they have?"

This question is relatively simple, or Zhou Xuanhe is also more concerned about this part on weekdays, and immediately replied after hearing this: "If the patriarch Hui speaks, the family currently has the five people with the most contribution points, namely the eighth brother-in-law 5123 points, the eleventh brother 3785 points, the thirteenth sister 3350 points, me 2970 points, and the seventeenth brother 2360 points. ”

When Zhou Yang heard this, he continued to ask after a little hesitation: "There are so many Eighth Uncles, it is because the contribution points of the Eighth Aunt and him are all on him, but the other few of you, except for the Seventeenth Uncle, who was specially rewarded by the family with 1,000 contribution points for raising the Golden Retriever Rock Sheep and the Flame Devouring Spider, the rest of the people can have so many contribution points, they should have traded with the clansmen, right?"

"Yes, we have all exchanged the spirit stones we have accumulated before with some young clansmen for contribution points, but I can guarantee that we are all fair trades, and we definitely do not rely on power and elder status to force people to trade with us!"

Zhou Xuanhe was afraid that Zhou Yang would misunderstand, so he emphasized the words "fair trade", and looked at the old patriarch Zhou Minghan after speaking.

Although he is in charge of the family's finances, even if it involves the transaction of contribution points, even a little, it must be agreed by the patriarch, so Zhou Minghan knows all these things.

"The old man can prove it to Xuanhe and them. ”

Zhou Minghan bowed slightly, and finally said the first sentence since entering the council hall.

Seeing this, Zhou Yang nodded, didn't say anything, but looked at Zhou Xuanying, the general elder, who had already finished reading the information records, and asked, "Then Thirteen Aunts, have you counted the data there?"

"Patriarch Hui's words, I just checked the information and found that in the past ten years, a total of five family monks have fought with people, and two of them have successfully killed the enemy. ”

"At the same time, in the past ten years, twelve of the family monks have fought with demon beasts, killing six second-order demon beasts and twenty-three first-order demon beasts, most of which were killed when they were stationed in the mines and guarding the oasis!"

Zhou Xuanying said the information he had just checked one by one, and then looked at Zhou Yang in confusion, not understanding what he wanted to know about this.

Seeing her gaze, Zhou Yang couldn't help but smile slightly: "Thirteenth aunt, as well as fourteenth uncle and eleventh uncle, do you wonder why I suddenly asked about these things at today's family meeting?"

"Yes. ”

The few people who were named by him nodded yes one after another, and then waited with bated breath for him to solve their doubts.

"I can't tell you the specific situation, I can only say that I have some insights during this trip, and I really understand how to make a family strong and united. ”

"I'm asking you these things to get some information out of them, and now I'm going to say them so that all of you can take a look. ”

Zhou Yang's gaze swept over the people in the hall, and then said in a low tone: "From the number of times the family monks have killed demon beasts and fought with people, it can be known that the monks in the family rarely take the initiative to go out to hunt demon beasts and venture out to travel to the immortal cultivation world on weekdays, and from the number of treasures consigned by the clansmen in the Yuquan Building, it can be known that the savings in the hands of the monks in the family are not very rich. ”

After speaking, he stretched out his hand and pointed to those "Yuan" and "Guang" monks who were born after the Zhou family implemented the contribution point system and asked, "I dare to say, if you remove the family contribution points issued to you by the family, you early and mid-stage Qi cultivation cultivators will not even be able to take out a hundred spirit stones in your pocket, right?"

Hearing this, the younger monks looked at each other, but no one dared to answer.

In the end, it was Zhou Guangxiang, a representative of the younger generation, who stood up and said: "I can help the patriarch confirm this, even if it is my sister Xiang'er, the spirit stones in her current storage bag are definitely not more than a hundred!"

"That's right!"

Zhou Yang nodded, waved his hand and motioned for Zhou Guangxiang to sit down, then looked at everyone with blazing eyes and said: "Because of the particularity of the Boundless Sand Sea Immortal Cultivation Realm, coupled with the lack of a sufficient number of high-level cultivators in the previous family, and the number of clansmen is not large, so the family rule is that if you don't cultivate to the late stage of Qi cultivation, you are not allowed to go out to practice at will!"

"This rule must have been correct before, it was to protect the clansmen from harm, but its existence has also seriously hindered the path of the young family's children to earn spirit stones, so that most of the family's children can only live by receiving family benefits for the first fifty or sixty years!"

"But now it's different, now that there are a large number of high-ranking monks in the family, and the number of monks is increasing every year, we are no longer afraid of bearing losses!"

"I know that everyone wants to accumulate family contribution points to exchange for Zhuji Dan, but you can see for yourself, even if it is the eighth uncle, the contribution points obtained by him and the deceased eighth aunt combined, now there are only more than 5,000 points, if you want to accumulate contribution points to exchange for Zhuji Dan through this method of slowly accumulating, when year and month can you accumulate 20,000 contribution points?"

"I'm not afraid to tell you that I have two Tsukidans in my hands now, and after the Chen family refines Tsukidan in a few years, we can still get one Tsukidan for free, and even if one is used for Guangxiang at that time, there will be two more!"

"What is the difference between these Zhuji Dan and stones in my hands? But if it is distributed, you are all members of my Zhou family, and many of you have similar spiritual root qualifications, who should I give it to? Who should I not give it to?"

"So, the first thing I want to say today, the rules that the family has implemented for two hundred years are going to change, and in the future, the family will let go of the restrictions on going out to experience adventures, as long as you have cultivated to the middle stage of Qi cultivation and have a second-order mid-grade magic weapon in your hand, you can apply to go out on adventures with the family elders!"

"What I want to tell you is that the world of cultivating immortals is cruel, if you want to build a foundation, if you want your descendants to build a foundation, you can only go out and fight from a young age, go out and break through!"

"At the same time, I can promise you that those of you who go out to practice, even if you die, the family contribution points will still be inherited by your designated relatives, and the spiritual resources you get from going out to experience can be recovered by the family with contribution points equivalent to the market price!"

Zhou Yang said his thoughts and plans in one breath, and he only felt extremely happy in his heart.

This idea and plan came up after he listened to Dong Jianping's life experience in the Liuyun Continent Immortal Cultivation Realm.

Dong Jianping is only a middle-grade spiritual root qualification, but he was able to rely on his character of daring to fight and his extraordinary luck to buy the spirit stone of Zhuji Dan before the age of sixty, and he successfully built the foundation.

And in the six immortal cities that stand in the Broken Cloud Mountain Range, such as Zhenyue Immortal City, there are thousands of scattered cultivators like Dong Jianping, who are desperately fighting to build a foundation.

Even these casual cultivators can do this, why can't the Zhou family's immortal cultivators?

The resources of the Boundless Sand Sea Immortal Cultivation Realm are not as abundant as those of the Liuyun Continent Immortal Cultivation Realm, but the conditions possessed by the monks of the Zhou family can be compared to Dong Jianping when he first came into contact with cultivation?

Zhou Yang personally experienced the siege battle of the "Beast Tide", and after witnessing countless Qi cultivation period cultivators being harvested by demon beasts in front of his eyes like rice, he had enlightenment.

If an immortal cultivator wants to truly seek immortality and truly allow himself to live longer than others in the future, he should first have the courage not to be afraid of death!

You are not the heir of a monk in the Jindan period, so don't think that the heavens will fall from the Tsukidan for you to build the foundation.

If you are born ordinary, have average spiritual root qualifications, and want to seek immortality and build a foundation, then you have to work harder and not be afraid of death than those who are well-born!

Zhou Yang wanted the Zhou family to produce more monks in the foundation building period, and wanted the Zhou family to become the Zifu family and the Jindan family, but he definitely didn't want those foundation building monks to be hidden in the family and rely on the remnants of their ancestors to obtain the foundation building pill.

Although, that's how he himself used to build his foundation!
