Chapter 416: Determining the Title

The division of interests involved in all aspects after the separation is, of course, not something that can be explained in a few words.

In the case of his own interests, the majesty of Zhou Yang, the supreme elder of the family, was automatically ignored by most of the Zhou family monks.

Whether it is those foundation building monks who are qualified to open up a branch line, or those who are in the Qi cultivation period, they all take turns to speak for their own interests.

These Zhou family monks actually knew that since Zhou Yang and Zhou Guangxiang, the two family Purple Mansion monks, had proposed a plan to "split the family" and came up with a detailed plan, they would definitely not cancel it because they objected.

How can the arms be twisted over the thighs!

The world of cultivating immortals has always been respected by the strong, and Zhou Yang and Zhou Guangxiang, who are strong, are willing to listen to the advice of these middle and low-level monks, which is because people give them face and do it for the sake of the overall situation.

However, this does not mean that the advice of these middle and low-level monks will definitely be adopted by the two highest leaders of the family.

Since the two supreme rulers of the family cannot be discouraged from canceling the separation plan, they can only pursue their own best interests within this plan.

How should Tsukidan be distributed after the separation?

If the branch monk does not receive the family welfare offering, how can he obtain the family contribution points and exchange them for Tsukidan?

Are the cultivation grounds on the main vein spirit mountain open to other family cultivators?

Can branch monks who want to learn the art of cultivating immortals enjoy family subsidies?

Does the maternity subsidy benefit the family branch monks?

If there is a genius monk among the descendants of ordinary family monks, do they still enjoy the benefits of the family's original subsidies?

If there is no new foundation monk in a certain vein after the foundation building monk sits, does it still need to continue to keep this lineage?

......

It can be said that what Zhou Yang thought of, hundreds of Zhou family monks thought about it together, and they all thought of mentioning it.

What Zhou Yang didn't expect, these people worked together, and they also thought of mentioning it.

From such a big thing as the exchange of Zhuji Dan to a small matter involving dozens of low-grade spirit stones, everything was asked by people with vital interests.

And Zhou Yang didn't have any impatience with these, whenever a clansman raised a new question, he would think carefully before responding.

He knew that every seemingly small decision he made here today would affect the interests of countless Zhou family monks for thousands of years to come.

Although he can still "patch" the rights and responsibilities of the main lineage monks and branch lineage monks after the separation of the family, how can the supplementary regulations made at that time be as deeply rooted in the hearts of the people as the current first version of the regulations.

So he would rather be tired and bitter at this time, rather than make a mistake in the future and work hard to make up for the mistake.

After a full day of discussion, all the things after the separation were finally decided.

Generally speaking, there is nothing wrong with the general direction that Zhou Yang thinks, after the separation, the Zhou family is still the Zhou family, and when facing outsiders, all the Zhou family monks, regardless of the main vein branch or ordinary monks, have a title - Zhou family monks.

Internally, the main lineage monks, the branch line monks, and the ordinary monks each enjoy different rights and responsibilities.

When the rights and responsibilities are clear, when competing for internal resources, the internal contradictions will be smaller.

For example, in the past, in order to compete for the position of a mine manager, when the difference in ability between them was not particularly large, some Zhou family monks would first go through various connections to find contacts, hoping to "decide" themselves in advance.

Once such an "internal personnel" appears, it is bound to cause great dissatisfaction among other monks, and then they will have resentment and hostility towards the "internal personnel" and the elders behind them.

Everyone is a member of the Zhou family, there is no distinction between upper and lower, I am more capable than you, why don't you give me this position of steward?

But now, after the distinction between the main vein monks, branch line monks, and ordinary monks is determined, when competing for management, when there is not much difference in ability, it is natural that the main vein monks give priority to the branch line monks, and the branch vein monks take precedence over ordinary monks.

At this time, you have to ask why you didn't give it to him, and you can tell you openly that the family rules are set like this, and whoever makes you from a good background is not as good as him!

Similarly, the main vein can obtain one Tsukidan exchange right every 20 years, and the branch vein can obtain one Tsukidan exchange right every 30 years, and this exchange right is the highest level of priority.

For example, for example, the Zhou family can only produce eleven Zhuji Dan every thirty years in the future, and there are ten main veins and branch veins combined, and there happens to be a ninth-layer Qi cultivation monk who has enough family contribution points to exchange for Zhuji Dan, so ordinary family monks can only exchange for Zhuji Dan when there is a surplus of Zhuji Dan.

In Zhou Yang's previous life, some schools recruited new students, as long as they passed the passing line, foreign freshmen were given priority to domestic freshmen, and freshmen in the local area were given priority to foreign freshmen.

This system was naturally criticized and ridiculed, but it has endured and gradually been accepted.

There can be no absolute fairness in any world, and this is especially true in a world where the strong are respected in the Immortal Cultivation Realm.

The descendants of the strong will naturally have more privileges than ordinary people.

If you don't face up to this privilege and just insist on pursuing absolute fairness and equality for all, then even a legendary figure like Zhou Yang who has created an unprecedentedly powerful family with his own hands will only be betrayed and defeated by those people he has personally supported.

And even if he can finally suppress those who betray him, the new generation of helpers he will support in the future will continue to betray him for the benefit of future generations, unless he can ask everyone to be like him not to have offspring, not to take apprentices and not to marry wives!

But wouldn't that be cruel to those people?

Therefore, he must face up to this kind of family privilege, and make the privilege clear for people to know, so that people can understand that there are privileges in this world from an early age.

At the same time, he also gave ordinary monks the opportunity to break their privileges and have privileges.

That is, as long as there is a high-grade spiritual root monk among the descendants of ordinary monks, they can immediately get better treatment than the main vein monks, break the privilege and directly define it as a "foundation building seed", and obtain the right to use the foundation building pill.

If ordinary monks can build a successful foundation, then they will naturally be able to "attain enlightenment for one person and benefit future generations", and let themselves and their descendants become members of the privileged class.

Moreover, following the principle of entering and leaving, if a certain branch of the Zhou family is unable to cultivate a new foundation building monk for a hundred consecutive years after losing the foundation building monk, the territory and branch name of the branch will be withdrawn by the family, and all of them will be reduced to ordinary family monks again.

For the main lineage, it is relaxed to three hundred years!

Of course, Zhou Yang's original intention to implement the family separation plan is not only the above, his real intention is to use this division model to better rule the family's huge territory, and to pave the way for stepping out of the boundless sand sea in the future.

There is also an ulterior motive that is to determine the legitimacy of the family bloodline, and to determine that the family bloodline dominated by him is the orthodoxy of the Zhou family.

After making a lot of effort to determine the separation, Zhou Yang was also relieved in his heart, feeling that a boulder had fallen to the ground.

At this time, he was actually very glad that the concept of "everyone is equal" did not come out in this world, and the concept of "the strong are respected" was the mainstream consciousness of the world.

Thinking about it, these monks of the Zhou family now, compared to those monks of small families, are already a group of privileged class members.

Since they were young, they have enjoyed the privileged benefits that those small family monks and casual cultivators do not have, and it is naturally easier for the privileged class to accept such a thing as having privileges than anyone else.

Because they have long been accustomed to the existence of this kind of privilege, their desire to become a branch line monk, and the idea of becoming a main line monk is of course much stronger than the idea of opposing privilege.

After thinking about everything, Zhou Yang's face was relieved, and he looked at the Zhou family's foundation-building monks in the hall with a smile on his face and said: "Whether you want to open up a branch, you decide for yourself after thinking about it carefully, you, as the existing foundation-building monks of my Zhou family, can apply for opening up a branch vein for free, this is the family's special preferential treatment for you, and if the monks in the future want to apply for the opening of a branch, you have to gather 100,000 family contribution points first!"

Hearing his words, several foundation building period monks in the audience couldn't help but look at each other, and their eyes flickered and hesitated.

In the end, Zhou Yuanyao, who was the most senior, spoke up first: "I am willing to open up the branch vein, but I want to choose the Yuquan Lake Oasis as the foundation of the branch vein, I don't know if the ninth brother can allow it?"

When Zhou Yang heard this, he immediately replied: "The Yuquan Lake Oasis is the place where my Zhou family made their fortune, and it is the ancestral land of my Zhou family. ”

After speaking, he paused again, looked at Zhou Yuanyao with a doting look in his eyes, and smiled lightly: "But Yao'er, you are different, since you have applied, then the Yuquan Lake Oasis will be handed over to you to take care of in the future, I hope that you and your wife can take care of it well, and not let my Zhou family's ancestral land decline!"

As for why Zhou Yuanyao is different, except for Zhou Guangxiang, no one present knows or dares to ask.

In fact, about Zhou Yuanyao's true identity and origin, it can be regarded as an unsolved mystery of the Zhou family, and all kinds of speculations are circulating in private.

But no one dared to talk about this in front of Zhou Yang, and no one dared to ask Zhou Yuanyao himself, after all, nominally, Zhou Yuanyao was Zhou Yang's "righteous sister".

With Zhou Yuanyao taking the lead, several other monks of the Zhou family who built the foundation, except for Zhou Fuyun, who had just built the foundation and was a daughter, made it clear that he would not open up the branch, Zhou Guangqing, Zhou Tongyao, Zhou Tonghua, and Zhou Tongmin all expressed their willingness to open up the branch.

Zhou Yang also fulfilled his promise on the spot, and divided the spiritual veins and oases of Haoyang Mountain to Zhou Guangqing as the foundation of the branch veins, and then in the new cultivation immortal realm where the Rhino Horn Continent is located, he chose three small oases to raise the spiritual veins to the lower grade of the third order, as the branch vein foundation of the remaining three, and sent people to help them expand the oasis.

According to his original intention, he actually wanted these people to receive a spiritual mountain that had been developed as the foundation of the branch vein.

However, in the previous listening opinions, many ordinary family monks have expressed their worries about those branch line cultivators, fearing that after using the existing spiritual mountain as the foundation of the branch line, there will be problems in the transfer of family industry resources above in the future.

So after careful consideration, he decided to use this new scheme to carry out.

Compared with Zhou Yuanyao and Zhou Guangqing, who have paid more for the family, whether it is Zhou Tongmin, who relied on his father Zhou Guangtai's legacy to build a successful foundation, or Zhou Tongyao, who enjoyed the family's "seed plan" preferential treatment to build a successful foundation, or Zhou Tonghua, his contribution to the family is not great, and of course he cannot be generalized with the previous two.
