Chapter 245: Painting Cakes
"Patriarch Mingjian, my Zhou family now has one hundred and fifty-seven monks, including six monks in the foundation building period, twenty-nine monks in the late stage of Qi training, sixty-three monks in the middle stage of Qi training, and forty-five monks in the early stage of Qi training......"
"Among the family monks, there are two high-grade spiritual root monks, there are twenty-four middle-grade spiritual root monks, and the rest are all low-grade spiritual root monks. ”
"Among these family cultivators, there is one third-order high-grade refiner, one third-order middle-grade refiner, two third-order lower-grade alchemists, two second-order high-grade alchemists, one second-order high-grade array mage, two second-order high-grade talisman masters, two second-order high-grade beast tamers, four second-order high-grade spirit cultivators, and one second-order brewer...... In total, there are twenty-two people who have reached the second order in cultivating all kinds of immortal arts!"
"In addition, my Zhou family now has twenty-three foreign relatives monks, including one foundation building monk, five monks in the late stage of Qi training, thirteen monks in the middle stage of Qi training, and the rest are all monks in the early stage of Qi training. ”
......
On Yuquan Peak, in the Zhou family's meeting hall, a small-scale family meeting is being held.
The meeting was proposed by Zhou Yang, and the participants were either the elders of the Zhou family, or the elders and stewards, and ordinary Zhou family members were not invited to attend the meeting.
The purpose of Zhou Yang to convene this meeting is also to intuitively understand the basic situation of the family, and at the same time, it is also to enhance his sense of existence and bring him closer to the feelings of other clansmen.
After all, at his level, it is no longer possible to go to the residences of various clansmen one by one, and chat about daily things one by one.
Therefore, he can only use this form of meeting to let the clansmen know that he, the patriarch, is still very concerned about the family and the development of the family.
At this time, after listening to the words of Zhou Yuanyu, the current great elder of the Zhou family, he immediately nodded with satisfaction and said:
"Very good, the number of monks is an important indicator to measure the strength of a family, only when the number of monks in the family is large enough, can there be more geniuses to emerge, and only then can the family's various industries operate normally. ”
"Therefore, the policy of encouraging monks to give birth in the future of the Zhou family must be continued, and the birth subsidy fund must also be continued!"
In the ordinary Zifu family, the number of monks must be three or five hundred to be qualified, and a family like the Chen family that has been inherited for more than eight hundred years, it is normal for the number of monks to be thousands.
It won't be long before the Zhou family will be promoted to the Zifu family, and they will also get a large oasis.
When the time comes, not to mention more than a hundred monks, even more than a thousand monks, the Zhou family can afford to raise them.
"What about the family property? Seventh sister, you are now in charge of the family's finances, please tell me what sources of financial income the family has now, and what expenses they have. ”
Zhou Yang turned his gaze and looked at the seventh sister Zhou Yuanchun and asked.
Zhou Yuanchun is a few years older than him, and now he is close to 100 years old, and he is now a mother of three children.
Her luck is much better than her mother Zhou Xuanyu, and among the three children, two of them are all with spiritual roots, although they are only low-grade spiritual roots.
At this time, when she heard Zhou Yang ask about her family's financial situation, she had taken over from the previous generation of Zhou family elders who had been in charge of the Zhou family's finances for seven or eight years, and immediately replied conveniently: "The family now has three third-order spiritual mountains, namely Yuquan Peak, Haoyang Mountain, Chihu Ridge, and Qingping Mountain, Qingniu Mountain, and Heimu Peak, the three second-order spiritual mountains, and the total value of the annual output of spirit valleys, elixirs, spirit fruits, and spirit trees on these spirit mountains alone has reached 4,200 spirit stones. ”
"At the same time, the family now has a Red Flame Iron Mine, a Refined Iron Mine, and a Light Jade Mine, and the total value of spiritual objects produced by the three veins is also more than 3,000 spirit stones. ”
"In addition, before the closure of the family's two Fang City stores, the actual annual income was also more than 4,000 spirit stones. ”
"And the family's biggest expenditure on spirit stones at present lies in the purchase of various alchemy materials, and the annual purchase cost of this alone exceeds two thousand spirit stones. ”
"The rest, such as the cost of [Fengyue Tower], the distribution of the birth subsidy fund, and the purchase of some other spiritual objects, the cost is about between fifteen hundred and two thousand spirit stones. ”
Since the Zhou family had two third-order alchemists, Xiao Ying and Zhou Xuanhao, they had been refining pills, and most of the various second-order elixirs they had refined were supplied to the family cultivators.
At present, those Qi cultivation period monks of the Zhou family, the middle-grade spiritual root monks, because they still have a glimmer of hope for the foundation building, will restrain themselves when taking the elixir to improve their cultivation, and wait for the "erysipelas" to be removed every once in a while before taking a new elixir.
However, those low-grade spiritual root cultivators, because they no longer had hope for the foundation building, did not care so much about the existence of "erysipelas" when they took the elixir to improve their cultivation.
These people generally want to rush their cultivation to the middle stage or the late stage of Qi cultivation as soon as possible, so that not only will the number of family welfare offerings they receive increase every year, but they can also go out to practice earlier to earn spirit stones and family contribution points.
Zhou Yang and Xiao Ying, as Taoist couples, also knew about these things, so he was not surprised when he heard Zhou Yuanchun talk about the cost of buying elixir as the number one expense of the family.
In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the Zhou family still has a small number of monks, and they have obtained a large number of refining and talisman materials through the development of a new oasis, the Zhou family's purchase expenses on refining materials and talisman materials would not be much smaller.
If it weren't for the fact that these materials needed to be purchased, the Zhou family's refined iron and red flame iron would not be able to be sold.
This is the case in the world of cultivating immortals, where various sects and family forces can invest resources to cultivate alchemists, refiners, talisman makers, array mages and other people who have mastered the hundred arts of cultivating immortals, so as to achieve self-sufficiency in the production of terminal products.
But there is no sect or family that can be completely self-sufficient in raw materials.
Those low-level raw materials can be said to be large enough, and it is not a problem for the main sect to gather all of them, but for some mid-to-high-level raw materials, it is impossible for any sect to completely complete all of them.
What the big sect can't do, the Zhou family definitely can't do, so it's impossible to save the cost of purchasing materials.
The Zhou family's current annual financial income and expenditure, after removing expenses, can still have six or seven thousand spirit stone income, which is already remarkable for a foundation building family.
"Then how much is the balance of spirit stones in the family's accounts now?"
When Zhou Yang asked this, he looked at the old patriarch Zhou Minghan.
Since the last time the Zhou family held a family meeting, because of the excessive number of spirit stones in stock in the family accounts, the old patriarch Zhou Minghan was afraid that the family elders who managed the finances could not resist the temptation and defected to the family with the money, so he proposed to store ninety percent of the spirit stones in his hands for safekeeping, leaving one percent for the daily operation of the family.
So now, the real money bag of the Zhou family is actually held on this old man.
"The number of spirit stones that the family has in stock now, there are 144367 in total!"
Zhou Minghan glanced at everyone in the hall and said in a deep voice this number that made everyone's hearts beat faster.
140,000 spirit stones!
Even a person like Zhou Yang, who had more than ten thousand spirit stones on his body, trembled at the corners of his eyes after hearing this number.
That's not a small number.
If it was in the Liuyun Continent Immortal Cultivation Realm, the Zhou family, which had so many spirit stone inventories, could already buy the "Purple Heart Chalcedony" for the family foundation building monks to use to open up the Purple Mansion!
However, there are pros and cons to everything, if it is really in the Liuyun Continent Immortal Cultivation Realm, the Zhou family's contribution point system, the effect is probably not as good as it is now.
You must know that the family contribution points accumulated by the clansmen on the Zhou family's current accounts, even if you don't count the contribution points of Zhou Yang and their foundation-building monks, and don't count the contribution points that those family monks wrote off after exchanging treasures from the family treasury, the total number has exceeded 80,000!
If it weren't for the fact that these family contribution points were scattered among the hundreds of Qi cultivation stage cultivators, the Zhou family's current contribution point system would probably be destroyed because they could not exchange a sufficient number of Zhuji Dan.
If the contribution point system is destroyed, in order to appease the resentment of the clansmen, Zhou Yang can only use spirit stones to offset these clansmen one by one, and there will not be much left of the 140,000 spirit stones at that time.
"Okay, very good, these spirit stones can be kept first, and they will be of great use in the future, the future source of our Zhou family's Zhuji Dan will not fall on these spirit stones!"
Zhou Yang was silent for a while, and then cheered repeatedly.
Hearing him say this, except for Zhou Minghan, who already knew the inside story, the rest of the monks in the hall all had their eyes lit up and looked at him with surprise on their faces.
If you talk about the monks below the foundation building period of the Zhou family, who has the most contribution points, these people who are now in the temple must be among them.
As the high-level leaders of the Zhou family, they all know that the Zhou family now only has one Tsukidan left, so over the years, they have secretly used all kinds of methods to get more family contribution points, and they want to gather 20,000 contribution points as soon as possible to get this Tsukidan.
It was also because none of them were convinced by each other's secret wrestling that the first Qi cultivation period cultivator who had gathered 20,000 contribution points never appeared.
Although they are all brothers and sisters of the same clan, in the matter of Tsukidan, it is obvious that no one is willing to let anyone, and they can only fight for it by their own ability.
However, the result of this is that these people are not optimistic about the future in their hearts, and they are afraid that the Zhou family will completely cut off the source of Zhuji Dan in the future, so that all their hard work will be wasted.
Now Zhou Yang suddenly said that he could buy Zhuji Dan with spirit stones in the future, no matter where he bought it from, it was equivalent to giving these Qi cultivation period cultivators a reassuring pill, making them feel relieved that the pressure in their hearts was gone.
Zhou Yang saw the changes in the expressions of these people, got up with a smile on his face and looked at everyone and said:
"Okay, the situation of the family, I am roughly clear, here on behalf of the rest of the family, I thank all the uncles and brothers and sisters for their efforts. ”
"Please rest assured, as long as I, Zhou Yang, are in charge of the Zhou family for one day, I will not treat any clansman who has contributed to the family. ”
"Everyone works hard for the family together, and when the family is strong, not only will the Zhuji Dan have it, but also the spiritual objects like [Purple Heart Chalcedony]!"
