Chapter 51: Family Year-End Deliberations (Part II)
The family's year-end meeting is held once a year in the last month of each year.
At that time, no matter where the foundation elders in the family are, they will temporarily put down their tasks and return to the family, similar to the local ministers stationed at the grassroots level of the mortal dynasty to return to Beijing to report on their work, with the intention of reporting and summarizing the gains and losses of the development of the past year under their own office, and setting the tone for the development of the family in the following year.
For a large family machine, such a discussion is not insignificant.
"My Qin family has gone through six generations in Xiling, and now there are 11,863 clansmen, 45 living monks, and the actual jurisdiction of three mountains and twelve peaks, four cities and eighteen places, including 42 Fang markets and 742 acres of Lingtian nurseries. ”
After the outline was spoken, Qin Shan suddenly changed his words, and said solemnly towards the seat: "Yicheng, you have just been promoted to build the foundation this year, although you are the youngest in terms of seniority, you don't have to stick to those stereotypes, you will first report the income of the Lingshi veins and Lingtian nurseries under your control." ”
Qin Yicheng, who had served as the foreign affairs elder of the Qin family for less than a year, raised his head excitedly when he heard Qin Shan, who had always been selfless, say this, obviously a little flattered.
The year-end meeting of the family is extremely important, according to the usual rules, the first thing to talk about in the open is usually for the second elder to report on the family's economic situation and financial taxes in the past year, because this is closely related to the next development of a family.
Or the Great Elder reports on the cultivation status of the younger generation of the family and the replacement of the new blood, because they represent the future of a family.
And Qin Yicheng has just successfully built the foundation this year, becoming the sixth foundation building elder of the Qin family, nominally in charge of foreign affairs, but in fact, the authority in his hands is not great, but he only took over part of the Lingtian nursery and supervising the mining of ore veins from the hands of the second elder Qin Liangzheng, which was originally in his charge, and the importance is not very high.
Moreover, as far as some of these things that were not of high importance from Qin Liangzheng were handled, although there was an element of rustiness, it still made Qin Yicheng, who had just been promoted to elder, a little difficult.
Qin Yicheng subconsciously looked up at Qin Hongxian and Qin Liangzheng who were sitting opposite, but saw that both of them nodded lightly, and did not object, but encouraged himself with a smile.
Qin Yicheng, who lost his father since he was a child and did not have high qualifications, had a sour nose, a warm current crossed his heart, and his eyes were hot.
In this huge meeting hall, among the six foundation building elders, Qin Yicheng is a lonely person, although he doesn't say it, Qin Yicheng will feel a little uncomfortable in his heart, and even feel that he has no sense of existence.
However, Qin Shan, the uncle who is now presiding over the proceedings, instead of excluding himself, made an exception to take care of him, how can he not be moved?
"Okay, thank you Uncle Seven!" was already a heroic and cheerful man, Qin Yicheng was not pretentious, he only rubbed the tip of his sour nose, and quickly adjusted his state and nodded heavily.
The blue light flashed between his fingers, and there were six thick account books in front of him, Qin Yicheng stood up and said: "My Qin family originally had 731 acres of Lingtian Nursery, but not long ago, I received the eleven acres of Lingmai field that the Wang family ceded close to Changquan Lingpu, so now there are 742 acres of Lingtian Nursery. ”
"In terms of harvest, Lingmai Lingmi has increased slightly compared with last year, especially in the third quarter of the last two months, the harvest has increased by 20% compared with the previous two seasons, which is a detailed account book that records the harvest. ”
As he spoke, the man in the prime of life distributed the account books in front of him to everyone present one by one, and kept a copy for himself.
"In addition, there is also a second-order lower-grade spirit stone vein located in the evil forest, and three first-order lower, middle, and upper grade spirit stone veins, all of which are high-grade veins that can continuously provide spirit stones. ”
"A total of 31,200 lower-grade spirit stones were produced, including 9,800 fire-attribute spirit stones, 17,400 wood-attribute spirit stones, 4,000 water-attribute spirit stones, and 123 medium-grade spirit stones. ”
Taking off the cyan storage ring on his right hand, Qin Yicheng handed it to Great Elder Qin Chouyun.
After listening to Qin Yicheng's report, several elders began to carefully flip through the account book in front of them, even Qin Hongyi was no exception.
For a moment, there was only the rustling sound of flipping books in the entire conference hall.
After a while, Qin Shan closed the account book and said concisely: "Yes, Yicheng is attentive." ”
Qin Hongxian followed closely and closed the account book, his long white eyebrows further set off his kind face, and praised with a smile: "Yes, the account book directory is clearly organized, and the cashier's income is recorded in detail, I remember that when Kuanxian's cousin was an elder in foreign affairs, it was also like this, Yicheng did not live up to Kuanxian's cousin's expectations." ”
After counting the storage rings, Qin Chouyun also nodded with a smile and said, "The number of spirit stones in the square inch ring is complete and correct, Yicheng has worked hard." ”
Listening to everyone's summary, Qin Yicheng, who was an elder in foreign affairs for the first time, finally let out a long breath, especially when he heard Qin Hongxian mention his grandfather, he almost burst into tears.
Next, Qin Liangzheng reported on the taxes of the four cities under the jurisdiction of the Qin family, such as Shangyang City and Qingli City, as well as the income of the spirit stones of the forty-two Fang City, which was the main financial head of the Qin family.
After Qin Liangzheng finished reporting, it was Qin Hongyi.
"The income of the elixir of the third, sixth, and ninth mountains is a total of three hundred and fifty-nine plants, of which 219 are of the first order of the lower grade, ninety-seven of the first order are of the middle grade, thirty-two of the first order are of the upper grade, and eleven of the second order of the lower grade. ”
Qin Hongyi said expressionlessly: "In addition, the Sixth Mountain Maple Purple Leaf Forest has obtained a total of 1,720 catties of juice after processing, which has been delivered to Fang City, and the second-order lower grade spirit stone veins of the Ninth Mountain have produced 4,700 lower grade fire attribute spirit stones, and 31 middle grade fire attribute spirit stones, all of which are in this storage bag......
Qin Chouyun, who was similar to Mr. Qin Family's bookkeeper, took the three storage bags in Qin Hongyi's hand, and the discussion continued.
Of course, there are also some details that need to be constantly scrutinized, such as Qin Liangzheng's tax reform proposal for Qingli City, and Qin Yicheng's opinions on Lingnong's welfare treatment.
Suddenly, there was a knock at the door, as if someone was asking to see him, and everyone was silent.
With a wave of his hand, Qin Chouyun removed the soundproof formation in the council hall and summoned him inside, only to see him move to the second elder Qin Liangzheng with his head down, whispering in his ear.
The discussion resumed only after he had finished whispering and walked out of the chamber.
Qin Hongxian smiled and asked, "Liangzheng, what's wrong?"
"It's okay, Yongxuan's little cubs had a conflict with the Li family in the sixth mountain, and it's a good thing to learn some lessons from the juniors. ”
When the red-clothed Qin heard this, he suddenly got up and said coldly: "It's nothing, I'll go back first." ”
He then took his resignation and walked out of the chamber.
"Leave her alone, the discussion continues. ”
