Chapter 136: Family Meeting (Part II)
Why did Zhou Yang change the welfare offering of the Zhou family monks from spirit stones to contribution points?
Is it because the Zhou family's finances are tight and they can't afford to send spirit stones?
Definitely not!
Even when he first took over the Zhou family a few years ago, the spirit stones in the family accounts were still enough. Therefore, the reason why he issued the family contribution points was not to play the white strip of the white wolf with empty gloves, but to use the contribution points to tie up all the family monks, so that all the family monks would be more dependent on the family and more loyal.
The more contribution points a Zhou family monk has, the less likely he is to betray the family, because once he betrays the family, all the contribution points he has worked so hard to accumulate will become waste paper.
Since the contribution points can be transferred and inherited, when a Zhou monk inherits the contribution points left to him by his ancestors, fathers and other generations, no matter how many or too few contribution points are, he is equivalent to carrying a heavy thing, and he does not want to let the things that have been passed down from the hard work of his ancestors become waste paper. However, contribution points cannot only be distributed and not recycled, let alone be allowed to only serve as a substitute for spirit stones, it should also have a more important role, such as exchanging for Tsukidan.
Spirit stones can't buy Zhuji Dan, at least in the Boundless Sand Sea Immortal Cultivation Realm.
However, the contribution points of the Zhou family can be exchanged for Zhuji Dan.
The monks of the Zhou family felt that the types of treasures that could be exchanged for contribution points in the family treasury were not rich enough, so they distrusted the role of contribution points, and wanted to exchange contribution points for spirit stones, which was human nature.
Moreover, Zhou Yang also knew that even if he really listened to the advice of these people and spent the family inventory of spirit stones to buy treasures from the outside world and fill them into the family treasury for others to exchange, it would only treat the symptoms and not the root cause, and could not solve the actual problem. Today, because this clan lacks this kind of treasure, he wants the family to buy it back for him to exchange, and tomorrow that clan lacks another kind of treasure, and he also wants the family to buy it back for him to exchange, isn't that a mess?
Therefore, Zhou Yang needs a means to cure the root cause, a plan that all the clansmen will gladly accept and support.
For now, Tsukidan is the best thing he can think of.
An ordinary person can work hard for a house of his own, save money and use half of his life savings in exchange.
Not to mention the price that a Qi cultivation period cultivator is willing to pay in order to obtain a Tsukidan.
The attraction of Tsukidan to Qi cultivation period cultivators is undoubtedly ten times or a hundred times the attraction of a house to ordinary people.
The house only represents status and wealth, and what Tsukidan represents is more power and life than these two things.
Therefore, when Zhou Yang took out the big killer weapon of Zhuji Dan, those Qi cultivation cultivators of the Zhou family immediately selectively ignored the small flaw that the contribution points could not be exchanged for certain things.
Contribution points can be exchanged for Tsukidan, but what do you need to exchange for other things?
As for the option of opening up contribution points to exchange for spirit stones, this proposal was not a problem immediately after Zhou Yang announced that Tsukidan could be exchanged for contribution points.
Now, if anyone wants to exchange contribution points for spirit stones, they don't need to exchange them with the family at all, as long as they open their mouths, there are many family monks who are willing to exchange them for spirit stones.
If loyalty can be shown by data, as soon as Zhou Yang's news is announced, there will definitely be a large amount of loyalty +15 data floating on the heads of those Zhou family Qi cultivation period monks present.
"Okay, I'm done, and if there is no objection, then I'll move on to the next item. ”
Zhou Yang looked at the fiery eyes of everyone in the audience and smiled proudly in his heart.
It is impossible to oppose it, and whoever dares to oppose the exchange of contribution points for Zhuji Dan is the enemy of all the Zhou family's Qi cultivation period cultivators.
So Zhou Yang quickly said his next topic.
"After this turmoil, I found that there are great irrationalities and hidden dangers in the division of functions of the family, so I intend to reform and optimize the division of labor in the family. ”
"In the past, our family was in charge of various family affairs by various elders, which cannot be said to be wrong, but just like this demonic chaos, once there is an emergency that requires the family elders to fight on the front line, once the elders in charge have no time to hand over the work to others, it will cause the temporary replacement to be incompetent for the new job and make a mess of things. ”
"And I'll tell you the truth, the person who can become a family elder, even me, can only show that he surpasses others in terms of cultivation talent, and it doesn't mean that he also surpasses others in terms of management ability and planning ability. ”
"If our Zhou family is still the small family that used to have only a few dozen people and the family affairs depend on the patriarch alone, although this system has many shortcomings, it can still operate. ”
"But think about it carefully, with the current growth rate of the monk population of our Zhou family, when the family monk population reaches hundreds or thousands, can this kind of patriarchal arrangement system still be managed?"
Zhou Yang said, his eyes swept over the few family elders with different faces, especially the third elder Zhou Xuanlin, who had made a big scandal in the financial income and expenditure report before, and then said in a serious tone: "I can tell you for sure that I can't control it!"
"Therefore, we must reform this system, and follow the example of Huangshamen and the Chen family's major sects and big families to set up special family stewards to specifically manage various affairs, and then the patriarch, the Supreme Elder, and the elders will supervise it. ”
"Our Zhou family now has mines, medicine gardens, spiritual fields, animal parks, schools, shops, caravans and other places that need long-term management and garrison, according to my plan, in the future, these places will set up a family steward and deputy steward for long-term management and garrison, the family will give corresponding contribution points to these long-term management and garrison monks according to their positions, and at the same time assess and confiscate the derelict stewards. ”
"The candidates for stewards and deputy stewards can be designated and arranged by the patriarch, or they can be recommended by themselves and by the elders and elders to the patriarchs, whether they are stewards or deputy stewards, the family status is not higher than that of ordinary clansmen, and there is no power to order clansmen to help them do things unrelated to work. ”
"Once the stewards and deputy stewards are appointed, they can apply to the family to transfer other clansmen to help according to the location and unit size they manage, and at the same time, those clansmen who need to use the relevant venues to practice after learning the hundred arts of cultivating immortals can also apply to the family to go to the relevant venues for internships and accept the supervision of the stewards and deputy stewards. ”
"For important places such as the family treasury, the cave of the scriptures, and the palace of general affairs, in addition to the relevant family stewards and deputy stewards who are responsible for handling affairs, there must also be family elders who take turns to guard and supervise. ”
"In the end, you don't have to think that if you don't become a steward and deputy steward, you can stay on the family spirit mountain and receive the family worship without doing anything, because after the implementation of the new system, those of you who have nothing to do will all become combatants, and you will become the priority of everything related to fighting methods. ”
Quiet!
It's quiet!
After Zhou Yang's words were finished, the square outside the ancestral hall of the Zhou family was suddenly quiet, and the needle drop could be heard.
Zhou Xuantai, Zhou Xuanbin, Zhou Xuanlin and other elders of the Zhou family, as well as some elders of the "Xuan" generation, looked at each other at this time, and their faces were not very good-looking.
No matter how nice Zhou Yang's words were, he couldn't change the fact that he wanted to split the power of these family elders and elders.
Originally, as family elders, they had the power to take care of any aspect of things, for example, if Zhou Xuanbin, who was in charge of personnel, was not there, Zhou Xuantai or Zhou Xuanlin could take care of it for him.
But now, according to what Zhou Yang just said, all aspects of affairs are specifically managed by the steward and deputy steward, and these elders have no reason or power to meddle at all, and there is only one supervisory power left.
It is true that there are several foundation building period monks watching from above, even if they hold power, they may not dare to use power for personal gain to do things that harm the interests of the family.
But without power, it is impossible for them to really want to use power for personal gain.
One is not daring and not wanting to, the other is impossible, the difference is big!
And when they were silent, Zhou Yang spoke again: "The elders and elders don't speak, they must not know how to say it, so I will help you say it." ”
"This decision of mine seems to be dividing your power, but if you think about it carefully, if the family cannot develop and grow, even if you hold the power in your hands, even if you dare to use the power for personal gain, with the current size of the family, how sure are you that you will not be discovered after using the power for personal gain?
"I'll settle an account for you again, with your cultivation of the ninth layer of Qi cultivation, if you are no longer in charge, you can let go of your hands and feet to go out to hunt demon beasts and find spiritual objects, or use the cultivated immortal hundred arts to make treasures and sell them to earn spirit stones, isn't it more cost-effective than being trapped in the family and thinking about how to deduct a part of the greedy ink from the family public property you handle every day for your own use?"
At this point, the elders couldn't sit still.
Zhou Yang has already said this, and the old patriarch over there, Zhou Minghan, has been smiling and not speaking, if they are silent, even if they have not done anything to use power for personal gain before, in the eyes of other clansmen in the future, I am afraid that it will be yellow mud falling into the crotch of his pants, and it is not but!
Suddenly, Zhou Xuantai, who was the eldest elder of the family, immediately stood up and said: "Patriarch Mingjian, if I don't speak, it's not because I'm greedy for the power in my hands and don't want to let go, but considering that the family is now short of available manpower, once I let go of power now, I'm afraid that not only will it not achieve the effect expected by the patriarch, but it will make things worse!"
"What the second uncle said is not unreasonable, so I have a discussion with my great-grandfather, and we have discussed a transition period of twenty years, and within twenty years, we will continue to use the old system while letting the young people who are interested in serving as stewards and deputy stewards learn from the elders and elders, and at the same time increase the teaching of relevant knowledge to the junior monks, and after twenty years, the new family system will completely replace the old system!"
Zhou Yang smiled slightly, as if he had expected it, and immediately said the answer he had prepared a long time ago.
And his answer also made Zhou Xuantai and several other elders breathe a sigh of relief in their hearts.
Twenty years of transition is not a short period, twenty years later, half of the "Xuan" generation monks present will be sitting down and dying, who cares about what will happen to the family elders behind at that time? So, several elders glanced at each other, and then bowed in unison and said, "The patriarch is wise, we have no objections." ”
"Okay, then the matter is decided, let's move on to the next topic, about discussing the adjustment of the amount and ...... of the maternity subsidy fund."
