Thanks to various fertility incentives, the growth rate of the Zhou family's monk population has not been slow, but the number of monks in the Zhou family's previous years was too small, so it would appear that there was a serious mismatch between the population and the family's territory.

The comparison of its practical data can clearly see the population growth rate of the Zhou family.

When Zhou Yang took over as the head of the Zhou family a hundred years ago, the number of monks in the Zhou family was less than 30, and the number of monks of the "Xuan" and "Yuan" generations, who were the main force of the population, was in their early twenties.

Now, a hundred years have passed, and the number of monks of the Zhou family has increased tenfold, and the number of monks of the "Guang" and "Tong" generations, who are the main force of the population, has reached more than 100 people.

Yuhua Mingguang, Xuanyuan Guangtong, Fuze Rongsheng, Evergreen, the sixteen characters of the Zhou family monks were personally established by Zhou Yuquan, the first patriarch of the Zhou family, according to the rules, when the oldest monk of the previous character generation reached the age of sixty, he began to use the descendants of the monks who were not the previous character to use the latter character generation.

For example, Zhou Xuanhao is the eldest of the Zhou family's "Xuan" generation, and after he reaches the age of sixty, those monks who are not descendants of the "light" generation of monks are the "Yuan" generation, not the same "Xuan" generation as him.

However, when it came to the time of the "Tong" generation, the situation changed slightly, that is, when the first "Guang" generation monk was not yet 60 years old, there were young monks of the "Guang" generation who responded to the Zhou family's policy of promoting fertility and gave birth to offspring with spiritual roots.

Inevitably confusing the generations, the descendants of these "Guang" monks will of course automatically become the "Tong" monks, but at the same time, for the descendants of other non-"Guang" monks, they still follow the clan rules and continue to use the "Guang" generation.

So there is an interesting situation, many monks who have reached adulthood have to call a baby uncle who can't even walk.

This is also a common problem of large families.

Of course, this little problem is not much of a hindrance, although the Zhou family, a family of cultivating immortals, also emphasizes the orderliness of the young and the old, and does not allow anything that violates human ethics to happen.

However, it also follows the principle of respecting the strong in the immortal cultivation world, and will not let the monks in the Qi cultivation period shout at the monks in the foundation building period by relying on their seniority, and command them to be angry.

Not to mention these small problems, the one thing that really satisfied Zhou Yang was the large increase in the number of monks of the Zhou family.

The large increase in the number of foreign relatives and monks shows that the men of the Zhou family have now become fragrant and sweet in the eyes of those small family nuns and nuns, so that they will be willing to give up their free bodies to join the Zhou family and serve the Zhou family.

The addition of these relatives to the Zhou family not only effectively filled the vacancy of the insufficient number of Zhou monks, but also played a great positive role in increasing the population of the Zhou family.

After all, the offspring born from the combination of an immortal cultivator and an immortal cultivator have a chance of possessing a spiritual root many times greater than that of mortal descendants.

"Yes, population is the foundation of a family, only with a large enough population base, can we ensure that there are outstanding talents from generation to generation in the family, and ensure that the family inheritance can be passed on smoothly. ”

Zhou Yang's eyes were full of brilliance as he looked at the many people in the audience, and his face was full of applause with a look of relief and joy.

He looked at everyone in the hall with blazing eyes, and said with emotion: "When I first took over the position of patriarch, there were only twenty-six monks left in my Zhou family, and the entire family was supported by more than a dozen elders, and even the family inheritance was facing the worry of being cut off!"

"Now a hundred years have passed, not only has the territory of my Zhou family increased more than ten times compared to a hundred years ago, but the number of monks is also the same, this is all the credit of everyone present today, this is the credit of the countless ancestors who sacrificed their lives for the prosperity of our Zhou family!"

"The Zhou family can have today, thanks to my credit, the credit of your deceased ancestors, and the credit of everyone present!"

His words were all from the bottom of his heart.

Most of the growth of the Zhou family's territory is due to him, but the growth of the population, in addition to formulating the incentive birth policy, he has not contributed to it.

The people who really carried out and worked for it were all the people of the Zhou family here today and those who had passed away, and all the credit belonged to these people.

If it weren't for these people who responded to his fertility policy and wantonly took concubines to have offspring, I don't know how long it would take for the Zhou family's monk population to reach the current number.

"Elder Taishang, you are too modest, we may have contributed to the Zhou family, but the Zhou family can have today's status, mainly because of your contributions, Elder Taishang, without you, there would be no Zhou family today, your dedication to our Zhou family, your merits, every member of the Zhou family will remember it in their hearts, and they will not forget it in this life!"

As the patriarch, Zhou Guangxiang was able to sit in the deputy seat under Zhou Yang, as Zhou Yang's most loyal admirer and successor, he has always admired and admired Zhou Yang, the elder who single-handedly brought the Zhou family into a strong country, and at this time he couldn't help but speak out, expressing his reverence and gratitude to this elder with warm and passionate words.

"The patriarch is right, we can have today's cultivation and status, my Zhou family can have today's glory, Elder Taishang, you have made great contributions, all my Zhou family members, from the foundation building monks, to ordinary mortal children, all of them are grateful for your kindness to Elder Taishang, thank you for your kindness to the Zhou family!"

Zhou Guangqing, the newly promoted foundation-building monk of the Zhou family, also looked at Zhou Yang with reverence and gratitude on his face, and responded loudly to Zhou Guangxiang's words.

His gratitude to Zhou Yang is also from the heart.

If it weren't for the Zhuji Dan left by Zhou Yang for the Zhou family, how difficult would it be for a middle-grade spiritual root monk like him to take the Zhuji Dan Zhuji!

As the first batch of beneficiaries after Zhou Yang formulated the contribution points to exchange for the Zhuji Dan clan rules, he deeply felt the benefits of this clan rule, and he was also a firm supporter of this clan rule, and naturally he was full of gratitude to Zhou Yang who made all this.

While responding to Zhou Guangxiang's words, he bent down and bowed to Zhou Yang and said: "Elder Taishang's kindness to the Zhou family, I and other juniors have nothing to repay, I can only wish Elder Taishang a smooth path and immortal blessings forever!"

"I wish Elder Taishang a smooth path and eternal immortal blessings!"

The members of the Zhou family in the hall, except for Zhou Xuanhao, together with Zhou Guangxiang, the patriarch, all followed Zhou Guangqing, bent down and bowed to Zhou Yang to worship him, and thanked Zhou Yang for his kindness to the Zhou family and them in this way.

Most of them are not stupid people, and they all know the importance of Zhou Yang to the Zhou family.

Usually they may argue for some interests, but in the matter of currying favor with Zhou Yang, they all have the same goal.

Zhou Yang has been away from home for seventeen years this time, in fact, it has caused a lot of turmoil within the Zhou family, and many Zhou family monks are worried that his fall will make the strong and prosperous Zhou family decline again.

Even if he didn't fall outside, in the hearts of many Zhou family cultivators, they were worried that he would be fascinated by the prosperity of the Liuyun Continent Immortal Cultivation Realm, and they would not want to return to the barren and backward Boundless Sand Sea Immortal Cultivation Realm to take care of their juniors.

When Zhou Yang came back this time, everyone in the Zhou family from the bottom to the top breathed a sigh of relief, and they had a feeling of finding the backbone.

Therefore, after hearing Zhou Yang's words at today's meeting, people with flexible minds like Zhou Guangxiang and Zhou Guangqing were keenly aware of the opportunity, and took the opportunity to express their words of gratitude, wanting to awaken and deepen Zhou Yang's feelings for the family and not make the decision to abandon them.

As smart as Zhou Yang, of course, he would not fail to see Zhou Guangxiang's careful thoughts, but he could also feel that these clansmen were really grateful and grateful to him from the bottom of their hearts, not in a superficial form.

That's enough, that's enough for him!

This at least makes him feel that his efforts over the years have not been in vain, otherwise if he raises a group of white-eyed wolves who don't know how to learn about Entu, he will have to wonder if there is a problem with his vision and ability.

If that's the case, he might really be so angry that he will leave and no longer care about the family's affairs!

I saw his eyes and his father Zhou Xuanhao, who looked happy and satisfied in the audience, the father and son looked at each other and smiled, and then waved their hands with a smile: "Everyone get up, they are all part of the Zhou family, and they are all contributing to the family, why bother saying these kind words." ”

After speaking, he bowed his head slightly, and said to Zhou Guangyun, the financial elder who got up: "Guangyun, tell me about the financial situation of the family, I want to know how much financial income the family has every year, how much expenditure, and your financial suggestions in terms of finance." ”

Zhou Guangyun has been a financial elder for more than 20 years, and no one knows the financial situation of the Zhou family better than her.

"Back to Elder Taishang's words, my Zhou family's current financial situation is very good, and the various spiritual mountains and mines that the family got after moving to the Chihu Mountain Oasis have now entered a period of comprehensive feedback after all these years of development. ”

"And the family's Fang Market has become more and more prosperous over the years, thanks to the industrial chain processing plan formulated by the patriarch earlier, nearly seventy percent of the family's various spiritual mines and medicine gardens can be processed into finished products by the family Baiyitang monks and put them in the Fang Market for sale. ”

"At the same time, adhering to your concept of small profits and quick turnover, all kinds of low-level magic weapons, pills, and spirit runes produced by our family have almost occupied eighty percent of the market in the market, attracting countless scattered cultivators and small family monks to come and purchase!"

"According to Caitang's statistics, as of this year, after removing labor costs, transportation costs and other expenses, the total income of our Zhou family's various industries has reached 58,000 spirit stones. ”

"As for the expenditure, the family's annual expenditure on spirit stones is about 15,000 spirit stones, and the main expenditure is the birth subsidies issued and the purchase of various spiritual raw materials, and the family's annual family contribution points have reached more than 23,000 points, and it is increasing year by year. ”

"As for our Caitang's suggestion......"
