Chapter 131: Ten Years

This time, only low-grade spirit rice was planted. After the harvest, some medium-grade and high-grade spirit rice were planted. They are all different seeds with different yields. Among them, the high-grade spirit rice can only be planted for one season a year. If too much is planted, the spirit field cannot handle it.

After harvesting the one hundred mu of spirit field, Lin Qing's family had nearly ten thousand catties of spirit rice, which needed to be distributed.

Lin Qing thought for a moment and made a plan. In the future, all the descendants of the Lin family who have reached the Qi Refining stage can receive ten catties of spirit rice per month, and those in the Foundation Building stage can receive thirty catties of spirit rice per month. This is not much, just a kind of family welfare.

At present, there are still few people in the Lin family, and Lin Qing can support them all. The spirit rice they eat at home is bought with spirit stones by him, so there is no difference with this welfare. But in the future, when there are more people, for example, when Lin Xuyuan has a son, it is naturally impossible for Lin Qing to support them again. This welfare will be of great help at that time.

Lin Qing's definition of the Lin family is based on characters.

When he was with Chao Yunsheng and Lin Xuen, Lin Qing set those sixteen characters—Qing Xu Zhi Yuan, Ning Xin Xi Nian, Xiang Dao Huai Zhen, Xi Sheng Cun Yan.

Lin Xuen used the character "Xu" in this generation, and the next generation will use the character "Zhi".

But the usage of the character "Zhi" is different from that of the character "Xu". Lin Qing believes that one must have spiritual roots to use the character "Zhi". After all, if everyone can use it, at the speed of ordinary people giving birth, these sixteen characters will not last long.

And this is also good for differentiation and management. Take the distribution of spirit rice as an example, it is clear at a glance whether one has a character or not.

Lin Xuen and Lin Xuwen, as his descendants, do not have spiritual roots and use the character "Xu", but this situation will not happen again in the future.

Although now in the Lin family mountain, the distance between Lin Qing's family of cultivators and the Lin family of ordinary people has been shortened, Lin Qing still feels that there are some differences between them. After all, cultivators and mortals are fundamentally different.

After the distribution of spirit rice was determined, every cultivator in the family knew about it and could now receive it. They could receive a year's worth at once.

Half a month later, Lin Xuyuan happily found Lin Qing.

"Dad, I want to receive another portion," Lin Xuyuan said. He had already received his own portion of spirit rice before.

"Another portion?" Lin Qing looked at Lin Xuyuan and thought of something.

Lin Xuyuan smirked and happily said, "Dad, I have a son with spiritual roots."

Lin Qing took a deep breath and looked at Lin Xuyuan with some surprise. He didn't expect that he would marry mortal women and be able to have a child with spiritual roots so quickly.

Lin Xuyuan didn't say anything. He had twelve children with his wives in a year, and only one had spiritual roots. He still felt it was too few.

"What's his name? Why didn't you bring him for me to see?" Lin Qing said with a smile.

"Dad, I haven't named him yet. You mentioned when you were talking about distributing spirit rice last time that those with spiritual roots can choose a character. I've been thinking about it these days. How about I bring him later for you to choose one?" Lin Xuyuan said.

Lin Qing nodded with a smile, and then Lin Xuyuan brought the child over. After Lin Qing took a look, she gave the child the name Lin Zhiyuan. However, this child only had the Five Elemental Roots. After Lin Xuyuan held the child and showed it to Li Qingyu and Che Yun, Lin Qing looked at Lin Xuyuan's back and felt that it was necessary to establish a few more family rules.

After a few days, the new rules were known to the cultivators of the family.

One of them was that the descendants of the family with spiritual roots could choose any cultivation method at the age of twelve. Lin Qing had obtained many cultivation methods from the Wu family's grave, which came in handy at this time.

The second rule was that couples who gave birth to children with spiritual roots would be rewarded with twenty spirit stones at once, regardless of whether they were mortals or cultivators. Although it was not much, it was not little either.

After all, the family had just started and there were many areas that needed improvement. Lin Qing could only do this for now. If various industries were established in the future, the rules would be further improved.

As the first Lin family cultivator to taste the sweetness, Lin Xuyuan happily left with twenty spirit stones from Lin Qing a few days later.

These spirit stones were not much to him, but they held great significance.

Moreover, when Lin Qing gave him the spirit stones, she talked about his contribution to the family, which made Lin Xuyuan even happier.

Back home, Lin Xuyuan seemed to have gained motivation. He looked at his wives who were not pregnant yet, took two pills refined by Lin Xuqing, and then smiled and said, "Come, let's continue. I may not be good at other things, but am I not good at this?"

His words were somewhat contradictory, but it didn't matter.

In the following years, Lin Xuyuan married more than forty mortal wives in total and had nearly a hundred children. However, among them, only Lin Zhiyuan had spiritual roots. After all, spiritual roots were rare. But Lin Xuyuan was not discouraged. He was tirelessly dedicated to this aspect and gradually found his next goal.

As for these children, Lin Qing gave each of them ten mu of land. Even if she gave birth to a hundred, the Lin family could afford to support them.

In addition to Lin Xuyuan, the Lin family members brought back from Sanshan Town by Lin Qing also had many children in these years, but they couldn't compare to Lin Xuyuan. However, Lin Xuen's eldest son, Lin Xuen, was now truly responsible for managing the mortal population of Lin Family City. He had previously studied and although he didn't pass the imperial examination, he was still a scholar and had much higher abilities than others.

After learning about this, Lin Qing thought of something and quickly did another thing, which was to establish a family school so that all the children born could receive an education.

To be honest, this should have been established long ago, but there were too many things happening now. However, it was not too late.

To establish a family in these mountains, many areas needed years of improvement. It was not something that could be achieved with a single thought. Lin Qing had to continue learning.

In the blink of an eye, the Lin family had been living in Lin Family Mountain for ten years.

Time flew by in the mountains, and they didn't realize how many years had passed. Lin Qing felt that these ten years had passed in a flash, much faster than before. But looking at the completely transformed Lin Family Mountain, she felt that these ten years had been more fulfilling than before.

A huge Lin Family City stood tall, with nearly thirty thousand mortals living in it. Not only had many wooden houses been replaced with brick houses, but there were also restaurants, taverns, tea houses, and rice shops in the city. It was like a mortal city, but this was within a hundred miles of the Yandang Mountains, and the efforts put into it were ten times that of other cities.

The Lin Family Market had also begun to take shape. In these ten years, a thousand mortals had quarried stones in the mountains and built stone walls for the market. The houses inside were also under construction, and many caves had been excavated on the mountainside, which could be rented out in the future.

Of course, the biggest change was the roads. Wide roads connected the mountains, allowing three carriages to pass through. The roads leading outside the mountains had also been expanding during these ten years, allowing carriages to pass through. The demonic beasts had been cleared and dared not approach the roads.
