"It means, did these two Zhuji Dan finally give them to Ming Ling and Ting Chou?"

"Yes...... Mingpu still has sixteen years to go, and there will be opportunities later. Lu Chaoxi sighed and replied to his father like this.

"That's fine. Lu Qingdao said, "It's a good thing that the two of them have succeeded, and now the family also has five foundation building monks, and if you count this Qiming, it's not much worse than his Zhao family." You also have to work your own cultivation, when will you be able to reach the second layer?"

"I guess it's going to be a few years away. ”

"Hmm. ”

At this moment, Lu Qing was chatting with Lu Chaoxi. The time for him to leave the customs was set before, and Lu Chaoxi also came over on time.

"That's right, Father. He mentioned another thing, "Ven En is also here, saying that he wants to come and kowtow to you. He was supposed to leave home and go to Qingfeng Gate half a month ago, but in order to wait for you to wake up from the retreat and listen to the teachings, it took half a month. ”

"This stinky boy ......"

"Huh?" Lu Chaoxi didn't know why his father said that, it stands to reason that his father should not be familiar with Wen En?

Oh, by the way, when he was fighting in the northern Xinjiang the year before last, his father's divine sense had come to Wen En and guided him out of his predicament.

Then why does Daddy scold him for being a stinky boy?

"Let him come. Lu Qing's voice sounded again.

"Okay. Retracting his thoughts, Lu Chaoxi walked out.

Outside the deep passage of the retreat room, Wen En waited outside, accompanied by Gongsun Que. This Miss Gongsun has also been a guest at the Lu family for a year. The Lu family treats her as a very important guest, and some resources for clothing, food, housing, and cultivation are all equipped as much as possible - when the daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law of the family look at her, they are still from a thousand-year-old wealthy family, can they not be treated well!

When the two got along at the beginning, although they couldn't let go of each other, they were shy of each other or something, and they didn't really think about marrying or marrying, at most, they just had a little affection for each other, and most of these favorites might even be picked out by Gongsun Xia's guy.

But in this state, get along day and night for a year, except for the time spent on their own cultivation, the two of them are basically together, whether they go out to go out, visit towns and historic sites, in short, the speed at which this relationship heats up is quite fast.

The Lu family is already ready to go to the Gongsun family to propose marriage......

"Let's go in, the ancestor has woken up. ”

"Yes. As soon as he bowed his hand to the patriarch and said a word to Gongsun Que, he walked alone into the deep passage of the back mountain, and at the gate of the retreat room, he waved the hem of his robe, knelt down on his knees, and threw himself to the ground.

"Don't be a descendant, bow down to your ancestors. ”

"Get up. Lu Qing's voice came.

When Wen En heard it, it was really exactly the same voice he heard on the battlefield the year before.

"Wen En didn't dare, Lord Gaozu helped me escape from the battlefield back then, but I was suspicious, and even slandered, such unfilial behavior, now I think of it and feel guilty in my heart. ”

Hehe.

Lu Qingle was happy, he didn't care about this with him: "Get up, those who don't know are not guilty, and I don't blame you." ”

Hearing this, Lu Wenen dared to get up.

After asking a few more words about the current situation and encouraging him, Lu Qing let him go.

Then, Lu Chaoxi came in again.

"Father...... Let Venn know you're awake, okay?"

"It doesn't matter. Lu Qingdao said, "It's not seventeen years ago. ”

Lu Chaoxi suddenly realized.

Seventeen years ago, when Lu Qing first woke up, it was really not appropriate to publicize too much that he was not dead—although he was actually dead.

At that time, the family was at its weakest. Lu Qing has just gotten the system, but it can't play an effective role, and the family has three foundations, and the strength is not good. In case the enemy is attracted - to put it mildly, the Zhao family - Zhao Zidan doesn't need to be dispatched, come to Qiming, or build a few more foundations, the Lu family can't stand it.

What is the saying?

I beat you because I suspect that your Jindan monk may not be dead, and I dare not beat you because your Jindan monk is really not dead.

It's really different now, what if Zhao Zidan is close?

I, Lu Qing, have prepared a big baby for you!

......

Later, Lu Qing also said a very important thing to his son.

About the establishment of the family's contribution system.

"In the future, we will not give spirit stones to our clansmen. Every year, the allowance and cultivation subsidy are exchanged for contributions. ”

"Father, please elaborate. ”

"Just like the feats of going north to participate in the war this time, the value of a little family contribution is equivalent to a spirit stone, and it can also be exchanged for a spirit stone. ”

"This ...... In the past, most of the things they wanted to buy were also bought from the family treasury, and only a small number of the treasury did not have them, so they would go outside to buy them...... I understand, according to what my father said, in the future, if you buy things from the family, you will only be allowed to spend the contribution value? The contribution value can be exchanged for spirit stones, but the spirit stones cannot be exchanged for contribution points?"

"Yes. ”

"In this way, everyone will not have too many spirit stones in their hands, and there will be a lot more funds left in the family. It doesn't matter to the clan, but the clan will become richer and easier to raise funds to do big things!"

"That's it. Lu Qing's tone had some flavor of being teachable.

This is such a thing from thinking about the monetary system in the previous life, and from the meritorious system implemented by the coalition forces during this trip to northern Xinjiang.

After it is executed, it has the meaning of credit currency. As a currency, the spirit stone is a bit like the gold in Lu Qing's impression in his previous life, it has its own physical value, and even more so than gold, the spirit stone can even be regarded as the lifeblood of the monks, not just a reflection of wealth.

And the family's contribution is said to be directly exchanged with the spirit stone, but its value is essentially a system built based on the Lu family's credit.

To put it mildly, if Lu Chaoxi can't think about it one day in the future and runs away with the money, then the rest of the clansmen will all have nothing to lose.

But this won't happen, one is that Lu Chaoxi himself will definitely not do it, he is not that kind of person, he can die for the family;

Of course, on the other hand, there must be a way to put an end to this kind of thing in the system. For example, Lu Chaoxi, as the patriarch, does not care about finances and is not in charge of the treasury.

If you talk about hard grabbing...... There's no way to talk about it, outsiders can come and grab it.

In short, it's not so easy to run away by yourself.

After listening to his father's words, Lu Chaoxi will leave and prepare for this matter.

And Lu Qing, the consciousness body flew out. He planned to take a short stroll around Yuyan Mountain and the surrounding area, and if nothing happened, he was going to go back to retreat and cultivate again, and strive to break through to the sixth layer of Jindan as soon as possible.

Although it was useless for the time being, he was now confident in his resurrection.

It's not good, in the future, he will enter the infant stage!

"That's not good...... If you really want to be resurrected when you are a baby, how young will you be? And if it is really after the resurrection, I don't know if there is any free and sufficient spiritual energy provided by the system, alas...... It's a tangled thing. ”

Lu Qing began to be delusional.

After thinking for a while, his consciousness floated back to the vicinity of the back mountain.

Retracting his thoughts, he didn't find anything special, and he planned to go back to his body to cultivate.

But as soon as he returned to his body and was about to start the retreat, a message came.

[One-Star Achievement: Acts of Valorance]

[Family members Lu Mingsi, Lu Minghai, and Lu Meiting made heroic deeds in order to fight for the interests of the family, and had a certain impact. 】

【Reward: 10 Karma】

......

What is this?

Why is there another act of heroism?

Or Lumins?

Lu Qing recalled that this Lu Mingsi seemed to be Lu Weiwen's father, and now he should be a family monk stationed in Pingyao County for a long time, responsible for the family's interests in Pingyao.

Back then, he was the one who went to Pingyao County to sell horses, and he was the one who was beaten......

Why did something happen again?

Now, Yuyan Mountain must not have gotten the news yet, and Lu Qing didn't plan to wait for anyone to report to him, so he simply got up and flew straight to Pingyao County, and arrived at the place in half a day.

At present, the monk whose family is resident in Pingyao is Lu Tinghua. He is the eldest of the Tingzi generation, eighty-seven years old this year, practicing qi at the ninth level, Lu Mingsi's father, Weiwen's grandfather, and Chaoheng's eldest son.

Previously, Tinghua was in charge of the Huineng stone vein. A year ago, Lu Chaojun was transferred back to Yuyan Mountain from Pingyao County to take on the work of family affairs, but Pingyao definitely also needed an old man with deep faith in charge, so he sent Lu Tinghua to do it.

When he was on the road, Lu Qing also specially checked the current state of the two people who caused the heroic behavior.

Mingsi is nothing, Lu Minghai, who is in the seventh layer of Qi training, is seriously injured.

When he arrived in Pingyao County, Lu Qing went to the Lu family's mansion for the first time to take a look, and there was only one monk there.

The Lu family is now resident in Pingyao, and there should be six monks.

There was no hurry to do anything, from the conversation between the people in the mansion, Lu Qing learned that the location of the accident was Luantou Mountain outside the city.

Naluantou Mountain is a first-order spiritual vein in the realm of Pingyao County, and there are more than twenty scattered cultivators who have formed a small gang and cultivated on it. Due to their barren nature, they also had a deep connection with Pingyao County, and they needed to exchange materials needed for cultivation more frequently.

Whether it is leasing Luantou Mountain, or exchanging the materials needed for cultivation (which are subject to taxation), these are all providing income for Pingyao County.

The matter lies in the payment of the fee for renting Luantou Mountain.

Last year, the Lu and Zhao families discussed a result in a very unfriendly atmosphere - in the future, the rent collected by the Lu family will be returned to the Lu family, and the Lu family will go by themselves.

In the past, it had always been the Zhao family who first collected the rent of Pingyao's artificial spirit vein cave mansion and the rent of the surrounding low-level spirit veins, and then distributed the money to the Lu family according to the proportion. The income of the two families in the Fang City of Pingyao County belongs to each other.

There will be a lot of tricks in this, how much is the lease amount, how much is the specific collection, is there a yin and yang account, is there any other transaction?

In the past, the Lu family had no way, they could only check the accounts, but they couldn't find out anything important.

But this situation cannot be left unattended.

After Lu Tinghua came up, he began to talk about this matter.

Now the person in charge of the Zhao family in Pingyao is still Zhao Pinggu in name, but in fact, he has already sent a foundation building monk over.

But the Lu family is not afraid, especially since the patriarchs of the family have already enlightened, and on the Yuyan Mountain not far away, what else is there to be afraid of?

What's more, the news of Lu Mingling and Lu Tingchou building the foundation came one after another.

The Zhao family had to give in.

And since a month ago, the monks of the Lu family have been busy, and they have begun to collect accounts everywhere, taking back the benefits belonging to the family little by little.

The process was not smooth, there was a lot of friction in the middle, and some hands were moved, but relatively speaking, it was relatively easy to maintain more restraint, although it was difficult, and it was finally pushed forward little by little.

But when collecting the rent of Luantou Mountain, there was a problem.

The group of loose cultivators in Luantou Mountain said that they had already handed it over, and it was the Zhao family who came to collect it.

That's the fuck up.

According to the agreement, Luantou Mountain is where the interests of the Lu family lie.

All of them are scattered cultivators, not very wealthy, renting Luantou Mountain a year, and more than 20 of them are all one person to make up a little bit in order to make up one hundred and fifty spirit stones.

Last year, the Zhao family said that if they received it for five years at a time, they could give a discount, as long as five hundred spirit stones, the twenty of them tightened their belts and made it up, thinking that they would not have to worry about it again within five years, but they didn't expect the Lu family to find it again.

They couldn't take out so many spirit stones, and at the same time, they were also very angry, asking how the Lu and Zhao families managed Pingyao County?

They have also rented here for decades, and they still have the name of 'Luantou Gang', which can be regarded as taking root in Pingyao.

There's no need to offend them, there's no point. The Lu family could only go to the Zhao family again, and the response was:

"After I said that, let your Lu family collect it, but if you can't collect it, what are you looking for us? Who said that last year, you can't collect it five years in advance?"

There was a lot of arguing in the county government and not talking about it first, and the monks of the Lu family obviously couldn't swallow this breath. After the communication was fruitless, they also came up with a not-so-clean idea - isn't the Zhao family also collecting rent now?

Lu Meiting, who practiced qi at the ninth level, took Ming Si and Ming Hai and began to work.

This matter was Lu Meiting's own idea, and she didn't discuss it with her eldest brother Lu Tinghua.

The three Lu family monks who went out of the city did not kill anyone, intercepted two groups of Zhao monks, and got more than 340 spirit stones. I didn't get all the five-year income of Luantou Mountain back, and it was still a lot worse, but it was a bit of a bad breath and made up for some losses.

However, on the way back to the city, they were intercepted, even though they had been more careful.

After a desperate fight, the three of them triggered that heroic act, and eventually escaped two and were captured by one.

The Zhao family didn't make a dead move.

Fortunately, the two sides are more restrained, otherwise, this matter is likely to directly become the fuse for the two families to fight again.

But even so, the situation is already tense.
