Cultivation Begins From The Desert

The family meeting of Yuquan Zhou's family is not held regularly, but the patriarch and the elders decide whether to hold it according to the actual situation of the family.

The last time the Zhou family held a family meeting was when Zhou Yanggang took over as the patriarch, and now it has been almost ten years since he took over as the patriarch of the family.

The difference from last time is that this time when the family meeting was held, all the monks in the Zhou family, including monks with relatives such as Lin Yuting and Chen Ting, as well as young family monks such as Zhou Guangxiang and Zhou Yuanyao, and even some who were still in their infancy All the babies with spiritual roots were recalled to Yuquan Peak.

The location of the meeting was also changed from indoors to outdoors, on the square outside the Zhou Family Ancestral Temple.

"Fifth Uncle, please count the number of people and see if all the monks in the family have arrived."

On the square outside the Zhou Family Ancestral Temple, dozens of Zhou family monks, large and small, sat cross-legged. As the patriarch, Zhou Yang, after all the participants had arrived, he began to ask the second elder Zhou Xuanbin who was in charge of family affairs about the number of people present.

He has not been in the family for a while, and he is not completely clear about the current number of monks in the family.

When Zhou Xuanbin heard his question, he immediately got up and glanced at everyone, and finally bowed to him respectfully and said: "Patriarch, my Zhou family currently has 1 member from the Ming Dynasty, 11 members from the Xuan Dynasty, and 11 members from the Yuan Dynasty. There are 21 people from the Zi generation, 24 people from the Guang Zi generation, and 5 foreign relatives and monks, all of which are here."

"Oh, before you know it, the number of monks in our Zhou family has already reached 57?"

Surprise flashed in Zhou Yang's eyes, and he was quite surprised by the monk population data that Zhou Xuanbin said.

When the family meeting was held last time, the Zhou family had only 26 monks, excluding monks from relatives. Unexpectedly, the population had nearly doubled in less than ten years.

"Hehehe, the main reason is that Xiaojiu's childbirth subsidy fund is well done. In my opinion, the amount of spirit stones for this subsidy can be mentioned again. Our Zhou family is not afraid that we can't support so many people now. These boys are unwilling to give birth!"

Zhou Minghan chuckled, and explained the reason for the surge in the population of the Zhou family.

Before this family meeting was held, Zhou Yang had already revealed some truths to him, so he was very confident when he said this now.

But what he said was easy, and those monks of the "Yuan" generation of the Zhou family, who were the main force of childbirth, rolled their eyes in their hearts when they heard what he said.

Now these "Yuan" generation monks present, excluding Zhou Yang and other few people and those direct descendants born later by the "Xuan" generation elders, which one of the rest has not given birth to twenty or thirty descendants?

After giving birth to so many offspring, less than one-tenth of them had spiritual roots, which made many of them give up the idea of ​​having children to make a fortune.

If it weren't for the fact that giving birth is a one-shot deal, they would have thought of returning the product now!

"Great-grandfather's proposal is worth considering, but let's talk about other matters now."

Zhou Yang nodded, indicating that he would consider this matter, and then looked at the third elder of the family, Zhou Xuanlin, the elder of general affairs.

"Seventh Uncle, now it's up to you to explain the family's financial situation to everyone."

Hearing this, Zhou Xuanlin immediately stood up with a embarrassed face and said, "Patriarch Qi, due to the influence of the previous chaos, the family's spiritual rice, spiritual mines and other raw materials have not been sold much, and the financial income is probably not easy to count. "

"It's okay, Seventh Uncle, you can just give a rough estimate based on the normal market price in the past." Zhou Yang waved his hand, signaling Zhou Xuanlin not to be nervous.

"This... Patriarch, please forgive me, I'm afraid it will be difficult to calculate this data for a while!"

Zhou Xuanlin lowered his head with his face flushed, and his voice was almost inaudible.

He didn't think about this aspect at all in advance, but prepared the reserve account books of various materials. Zhou Yang didn't ask him how many materials he had in stock, but asked him to directly estimate the value of the materials in stock. How could he calculate so many kinds in a short time? The price of the material.

The atmosphere suddenly turned cold, and Zhou Yang didn't expect that Zhou Xuanlin, who was in charge of the family's finances, couldn't even make a rough income statement.

He looked at the white-haired seventh uncle, and he couldn't say anything to reproach him.

In the end, I could only give a hint with a wry smile: "Seventh Uncle, think about it carefully, apart from the income mentioned in the last family meeting, what income channels the family still has now, and the income generated by these income channels is normal before the chaos. How much is the expected income? How many treasures are there in the family treasure house?"

Hearing what he said, Zhou Xuanlin suddenly woke up like a dream. He quickly took out the account book from the storage bag and looked through it. After estimating the price in his heart, he said loudly:

"Patriarch Mingjian, in addition to the income mentioned in the last family meeting, the family's current income channels include the income from the Red Flame Iron Ore, and the income from the two shops of Yuquan Building and Zuixian Building. The silk produced by the flame spider and the milk produced by the golden blue sheep."

"Among them, the Red Flame Iron Mine Vein could provide the family with a net income of 1,200 spirit stones each year before the chaos began. The two shops in Yuquan Building can provide a stable net income of 1,700 each year. Silk can refine three magic robes, and the net income is about 1,000 spirit stones, and the three golden blue sheep have not yet produced milk, so the current value cannot be estimated.”

"In the family treasury, there are currently 2 Tier-3 Magical Artifacts, 7 Tier-2 High-Rank Magical Artifacts, 32 Second-Rank Middle-Rank Magical Artifacts, 37 Second-Rank Low-Rank Magical Artifacts, and 16 Second-Rank Top-Rank Magical Talismans. There are 7 mid-level spirit talismans, 9 second-level low-level spirit talismans, 2 sets of second-level middle-level formations, and 5 sets of second-level low-level formations."

"Finally, let's talk about expenditures. Due to the previous main expenditure items of the family, the welfare of family monks has been changed to contribution points. The current main expenditure of the family has instead become the distribution of childbirth subsidy funds. According to the family's previous subsidy standards, the family's annual childbirth allowance The subsidy fund Lingshi has exceeded 600."

"The second largest expenditure is the subsidy for Fengyue Building, and the annual subsidy for Lingshi is about 400."

"The third largest expenditure is the offering to Huang Shamen. Every ten years, the family needs to pay tribute to Huang Shamen. The total value of the tribute materials and spirit stones should not be less than 3,000 spirit stones."

"To sum up, if everything is normal, the family can now have a net income of 6,200 spirit stones and an expenditure of about 1,400 spirit stones per year."

"Finally, the family currently has a balance of 14,387 spirit stones in their accounts."

Zhou Xuanlin seemed to want to make up for his previous mistakes, so he took a deep breath and revealed all the financial situation.

After saying this, he took another deep breath and continued: "In addition, I have something to report to the patriarch. Now that the number of monks in the family has increased, the consumption of resources such as spiritual rice and elixir has also increased at the same time. There will be a decline in the output of the medicine garden."

"At the same time, some members of the clan have repeatedly responded that the things that can be exchanged for the family's contribution points are not as rich as those in the shops in the outer square market. They asked whether the family can invest in buying various treasures from the outside world to enrich the types of treasures in the family's treasure house, and at the same time open the contribution points to exchange for spirit stones. Options."

"Thank you Seventh Uncle."

Zhou Yang nodded slightly, finally showing a smile on his face.

From Zhou Xuanlin's words, we can know that the Zhou family's current financial balance is extremely beautiful, and the income-to-expenditure ratio has reached 4:1. Even if this income-expenditure ratio is applied to those companies in his previous life, it is also very impressive. achievement.

Of course, he didn't ignore Zhou Xuanlin's last words. The reason why the Zhou family's financial balance is so bright is that the number of monks in the family is small, and they use contribution points instead of spirit stones to become welfare offerings for monks in the family.

As the Zhou family's monk population gradually expanded, this income-expenditure ratio was bound to be unmaintainable.

After smiling like this, his face returned to normal, and then he glanced at all the clansmen, and said in a serious tone: "Uncle Qi has just talked about the current financial situation of the family, and here I will tell you something that everyone didn't know before. know things."

"The first thing I want to tell everyone is that I have been promoted to a third-tier refiner."

"Secondly, what I want to tell you is that the family already has a Foundation Establishment Pill as a reserve, and the ancestor of the Chen family also promised that he will give our Zhou family a free Foundation Establishment Pill next time he refines the Foundation Establishment Pill." Kidan!"

"Thirdly, in addition to the inheritance of the third-level craftsman, the family now also has the inheritance of the third-level Lingzhifu and the inheritance of the third-level animal trainer. In addition, there is also a third-level alchemy formula in hand, so if you want to learn a hundred ways of cultivating immortals If it is art, it is best to start from these aspects.”

Wow!

After listening to Zhou Yang's words, the outside of the Zhou Family Ancestral Temple suddenly became lively like a vegetable market.

"Did I hear you right? The patriarch said just now that the family now has a Foundation Establishment Pill in their hands?"

"Building Foundation Pill! Where did the Patriarch get this kind of treasure? And there's more than one!"

"The question is what does the patriarch mean by saying this now? Has he already decided who to give the Foundation Establishment Pill to?"

Zhou Yang said three pieces of news, but there are dozens of Zhou family monks in the audience, except for those children and babies who are not very sensible, everyone's attention is focused on the three words "Building Foundation Pill". up.

Before this, no one thought that the Zhou family would obtain another Foundation Establishment Pill so quickly, including Zhou Minghan.

When Zhou Yang told him that he had a Foundation Establishment Pill in his hand, the expression on his face was no better than those on the field now.

"Quiet, everyone, just listen to me first!"

In the noisy atmosphere, Zhou Yang's voice sounded again.

Suddenly, the noise stopped immediately, and everyone stretched their necks to look at him with extremely fiery eyes.

"I know that everyone wants the Foundation Establishment Pill, but what I want to tell you is that apart from exchanging special contribution points for the Foundation Establishment Pill, you can only exchange them according to the principles of spiritual root priority and contribution priority."

"Maybe you don't quite understand the meaning of my words, so I will tell you in detail now, the priority of spiritual root is that the top-grade spiritual root can be borrowed from the family in the form of a loan before foundation establishment, and exchanged for a foundation establishment pill For building foundations."

"Contribution is the priority, so it's easy to understand. In the absence of top-rank spiritual root monks participating in the competition, all middle-rank spiritual root monks under the age of sixty can exchange 20,000 contribution points for foundation building pills. First collect 20,000 contribution points, and the Foundation Establishment Pill will be given to whoever uses it first!"

"So now, do you still want to exchange your contribution points for spirit stones?"

Zhou Yang looked at all the clansmen, and from the fiery eyes of those people, he had already got the answer he wanted.
