Chapter 274: Family Situation
Li Changqing and Li Xuangang didn't stay on the top of the mountain for long, and the eighth uncle Li Changji appeared with several figures through the light curtain on the top of the mountain.
They are the third uncle Li Qinghuan, the sixth uncle Li Qingshu, and the thirteenth brother Li Xuanyuan.
As for the other elders of the foundation building period of the family, they were not in Taiqiu Mountain at the moment, and they couldn't come back for a while.
Li Xuangang silently thought in his heart:
The second uncle, Li Qingyang, was left in Wanxingfang City by the fifth uncle,
The seventh uncle, Li Changzhi, should repair the medium-sized treasure ship in that bay in the East China Sea.
The fourth uncle, Li Qingjing, is still in the Lingshan stronghold in the Hengduan Mountains, and it seems that the tenth brother Li Xuankun has also been staying there.
But I don't know where Uncle Li Qingshui has gone and what he is doing?
Everyone stood still, and they all saluted the patriarch Li Changqing, and then they each found a place to stand, waiting for Li Changqing to speak.
Li Xuanyuan still looked lazy and lazy, he walked to Li Xuangang's side and said in a low voice:
"I've seen Brother Jiu!"
Li Xuangang smiled and nodded in response, sensing his cultivation by the way.
found that although he was still in the middle stage of foundation building like him, the latter was not far from the late stage realm, and if it went well, with his talent, it would not take too long to break through to the late stage of foundation building.
Then, before the fifth uncle Li Changqing spoke, Li Xuangang moved his gaze to the sixth uncle Li Qingshu, who was not far from him, and found that in less than three years, the sixth uncle Li Qingshu had also broken through to the foundation building period.
The aura on his body is still unstable, and he should have only succeeded in breaking through in the last year, but why didn't he get any news before?
Thinking silently, Li Xuangang found that there were now ten foundation building elders in the family.
The breeze blew, and seeing that everyone had arrived, Li Changqing finally spoke.
He looked at Li Changji beside him and said:
"Changji, in the two or three years since I left, what problems has the family encountered?"
Li Changji bowed his head slightly, and replied:
"Fifth brother, rest assured, everything is fine! Qingshu has broken through the realm of retreat four years ago, and not long ago he also successfully entered the foundation building period, and ......"
Speaking of this, Li Changqing suddenly interrupted him and asked softly:
"What about Kiyota?"
Li Changji's eyes darkened, and then he spoke:
"Qingtian didn't succeed in breaking through, and now he's recuperating in the cave!"
Li Changqing's face changed slightly, and he was silent for a while before he spoke:
"I see, go ahead!"
Li Changji then continued.
"Over there in Mangshan Fang City, we have cooperated well with the Wang family of Qingyuan Mountain, and the scale of Fang City has also expanded to the maximum, and it has begun to produce in the past two years, but recently the Wang family has the idea of kicking out the three loose cultivators, and they have come to test our style......
"In addition, the Lingshan stronghold, thanks to the successful establishment of the Ghoul Sect Hengduanfang City, has also developed rapidly under the auspices of Qingjing, and a lot of caves have been opened up on it, and now many of the scattered cultivators who travel between Hengduanfang City and Wujiangfang City are rented for a long time. ”
"There are almost 30,000 spirit stones produced every year, but ...... It is still difficult to send all kinds of materials purchased from the Hengduan Mountains back to Taiqiu Mountain, and it is estimated that this will not be properly solved until the seventh brother repairs the treasure ship. ”
The rest listened silently and did not make any sound.
And Li Changqing then asked:
"Hmm... I know... And how about the restoration of that treasure captain?"
Li Changji's face sank, and then he spoke:
"The situation is not too good, according to the original plan of the family, it should be when the fifth brother you come back from the Wanxing Islands this time, the seventh brother should have completed the repair of the treasure ship, and wait for you to arrange the formation." ”
"But...... Eight years ago, the spirit veins of Taiqiu Mountain were promoted to the third-order upper grade, and almost all the spirit stone stocks of the family were consumed, so the treasure ship reduced the supply of some resources, and the treasure ship encountered some problems in repair, so it was delayed a little longer. ”
"The last time Brother Qi came back, according to his estimate, it would take at least five years for the treasure ship to complete the restoration, and the high-level spirit wood and the rest of the resources needed would also increase. ”
"There are no relevant reserves in the treasury of the Good Gong Hall, but I have instructed the clan to pay attention to the news of high-grade spirit trees in the major fang cities. ”
Li Changqing nodded, and did not say anything about the slow progress of the treasure ship's repair, but changed the topic again.
"How about the mortal clansmen of Xijin City and Yuzhang City?"
"In these two places, as we had previously estimated, the population of the mortal race has almost doubled from before the Diaspora, and now it is nearly 180,000. ”
And every year the number of new clansmen entering the mountain also began to increase, in addition to the clansmen who died in the line of family tasks over the years, there are still 671 people on the family tree. ”
"However, due to the increase in the number of clansmen in the early stage of qi refining, the family's daily consumption has also increased a bit, and now it is difficult to have a surplus every year just by relying on the income of the family's shops in the major markets. ”
"According to my estimate, in a few years, after a new batch of Yuzi clansmen enter the mountain, the situation will worsen. ”
Li Changqing still listened quietly, and it wasn't until Li Changji finished speaking that he spoke:
"In the future, the number of monks stationed in Xijin City and Yuzhang City increased to five each. ”
"The new clansmen who enter the mountain do not send out mountain missions before refining the fourth layer of qi, and the resources consumed on weekdays are supplied as usual. This time, Qingyang and Xuangang brought back a batch of spirit stone ore, and Xuangang also harvested a large number of spirit plant resources. ”
"I think it should be enough to last for some time, and then the question ...... When I come out of retreat, I'll figure it out!"
Li Changji arched his hand and nodded:
"Changji knows, I will arrange it afterwards!"
......
Then Li Changqing roughly talked about what happened to the three of them in the Wanxing Islands, as well as the information about Haichaomen and Lian Chenglin.
And warned them that in the future, in the entire eastern part of the Chaoyang Continent, there may be some unpredictable changes in the situation.
After everyone nodded their heads to show that they understood, he took out the remaining spirit stone ore in the storage bag and stacked it together with the pile of spirit stone ore before.
In an instant, more than 1.3 million pieces of spirit stone ore appeared in front of them.
Although everyone had just learned that the patriarch had obtained so many spirit stone ores, they really saw it, and they still had a trace of shock in their hearts.
After all, what was piled up in front of them now was equivalent to more than 1.3 million spirit stones!
And Li Xuangang on the side also took out the spirit plant resources in his storage bag after Li Changqing took out all the spirit stone raw ore.
The tens of thousands of spirit plants shocked everyone again, especially those third-order spirit plants and fourth-order spirit plants among them, as well as those fourth-order spirit trees that had been divided.
Li Changqing looked at these valuable resources and said to Li Changji:
"These spirit stone raw ores are first polished by the clansmen, and then stored in the treasury of the Good Gong Hall, and as for the resources of these spirit plants, they are invested in the daily consumption of the family. ”
"Those suitable for repairing the treasure ship are all selected, and the rest suitable for alchemy will be sent to Danfeng, and some will be pulled by the caravan to the family shop in Fang City, and they will be sold for spirit stones or other resources. ”
At last, he asked:
"What do you think?"
Li Changqing had actually thought about it very thoroughly, so the rest of the people only thought about it a little, and didn't find anything wrong, so they immediately agreed.
