"After talking about the family's finances, let's talk about the family's talent problem!" The elder said: "In the past ten years, the Lu family has had a problem of lack of support. The family now has 532 monks, but the five spiritual roots are three.
One hundred and fifty-two people, seventy people with four spiritual roots, and ten people with three spiritual roots."
"Among these ten Three Spirit Root monks, three are Qi-training monks, six are Foundation-building monks, and the remaining one is a Zifu monk."
"Overall, the number of monks is decreasing, the five spiritual roots are increasing, the four spiritual roots are decreasing, and the three spiritual root monks are decreasing. The family is facing the problem of a shortage of resources."
"This is the form and list of family members, as well as the resources lost. Take a look at it carefully!"
It seemed that the dry words lacked some convincing, so the great elder directly took out a booklet and handed it over.
It contains detailed information about family members, resources consumed, various comparisons, etc.
Lu Xuanji took the booklet and flipped through it carefully. He didn't pay much attention at first, but gradually his expression became serious and the problem was a bit big.
Compared with large fiscal expenditure, fiscal deficit and insufficient population are big problems.
In the world of cultivation, why the human race cannot defeat the demon race is because the fertility rate is not as high as the demon race. At the starting point, humans lose to the demon race.
In the world of cultivation, many monks are busy practicing and pursuing immortality, and they are relatively indifferent to the love between men and women. Many monks often marry late or even never marry.
Many Jindan ancestors and Yuanying True Monarchs are often obsessed with the great road and immortality. They are extremely alienated from the love between men and women, and even regard them as savage beasts. They regard them as fetters and karma obstacles on the road of pursuit, and they stay away from them.
They often have no wives, concubines, Taoist companions, or heirs. After passing away, they leave their treasures in the barren mountains. They may be discovered one day and left to some destined people.
Even my father chose to get married when he was one hundred and twenty years old, and he married his twenty-year-old mother, and later gave birth to three of them.
Among the 532 monks in the Lu family, 470 are monks over thirty years old.
Among these 470 people, two-thirds are unmarried, and less than a hundred monks are married.
Among the hundred people, less than half of the monks had children.
Many Qi-refining monks choose a Taoist partner after they are sixty years old; many Foundation-building monks choose a Taoist partner after they are one hundred and twenty years old.
If you don't find the right one, you might as well live alone.
"Family monks, marry late or never get married. The fertility rate of family monks has dropped to the warning level. Great Elder, what do you think we should do?" Lu Xuanji looked at the booklet and frowned slightly.
"No way!"
The great elder said: "Otherwise, just lock a man and a woman together and give them an aphrodisiac. It would be more efficient!"
Lu Xuanji was speechless.
Bad idea, not reliable at all.
Lu Xuanji said: "How about this, let's encourage childbirth. Those who are willing to become Taoist couples and have children will be given spiritual stones and elixirs to replenish their fertility every year."
"What a great idea!"
The First Elder nodded and said: "How much subsidy should be given? If you give too much money, the family's finances will be overwhelmed; if you give too little subsidy, it will not be able to encourage you. No one is a fool."
"How about we also follow the example of the Ye family and force marriage to a certain age!" Lu Xuanji frowned and said, "If a cow doesn't drink water, then we will force its head down."
"Forced marriage is okay. It's just that they don't want to get married, and force is useless in many cases!" The elder said: "Many Taoist couples in the Ye family still live their own lives after getting married. Are we still going to listen to the house, or...
Give me the medicine."
"Forced marriage is not reliable, and it is not as reliable as Chun Yao!"
Lu Xuanji thought of several ideas in succession, but in the end he still treated the symptoms rather than the root cause.
Even the symptoms cannot be cured.
The Great Elder said: "The fertility rate of human monks is low, which is a big problem that plagues the human race. Human monks have an innate Tao body shape, are naturally close to the Tao, are in tune with the Tao, and have outstanding understanding. Many demon monks want to buy the Tao.
Xingdan, transformed into human form.
It is because of the human form that it is in line with the Dao and is close to the Dao, and the speed of enlightenment is fast.
Relying on the speed of enlightenment and closeness to the great road, human monks have no special bloodline, no powerful talents, and no super strong physiques, but every generation can give birth to top experts who can compete with the demon clan regardless of the origin. Some even say that the world
Originally there was no concept of demon clan.
But because the human race is too strong, all the fighting tribes have to unite to fight, thus forming the demon clan. If the problem of the human race's fertility rate was solved, the demon clan would have been overthrown long ago."
Lu Xuanji said: "Clan leader, what do you think of how to increase the family's fertility rate? I have no choice!"
"Xuanji, let's not talk about other people first, let's talk about you first!" The great elder suddenly thought of something: "As the leader of the clan, shouldn't you set an example?"
"Ahem!"
Lu Xuanji nodded and said, "Great Elder, please speak!"
The elder said: "Ye Linglong, I have learned that she is the proud daughter of the Ye family. She chose you to be her Taoist companion because you will be helpful to her on the road to immortality. As for how deep your relationship is and how hard it is to let go.
It’s hard to tell, how much love there is, I can only say that I overthink it!”
"What I said is right!"
"The great elder is right!"
Lu Xuanji said.
"Ye Linglong said that when you become a monk in the Zifu, I will become a Taoist couple with you. You are currently on the sixth level of foundation building. It will take at least thirty years to reach the ninth level of foundation building; it will take another twenty years to become a
Brother Zifu, am I right?" the great elder calculated.
"Almost!" Lu Xuanji counted the time and nodded: "It will take fifty years before we become the Zi Mansion."
On the road of cultivation, it takes a certain amount of time to digest these resources and transform them into strength.
Even with such sufficient resources, it will take at least fifty years to become a Zi Mansion.
This is a very conservative time.
If something unexpected happens in the middle, sixty or seventy years is normal.
"Ye Linglong can't count on you, why don't you just take a few concubines now!" The elder said: "My requirements are not high, I only need you to take ten concubines, and give birth to one child per person. It won't cost you much.
Time, at most three years. Now we have the candidate."
"I have a list here!"
"Ahem!"
Lu Xuanji said speechlessly: "Great Elder, stop fooling around!"
"Mystery, as a clan leader, the most taboo is double standards, showing off and standing up at the same time." The elder said with a smile: "You can say what you said about forced marriage just now, or I will give you a poison tonight. Put those things away.
The woman who likes you will be sent to your room."
"After three months, I will definitely have a big belly and I will definitely give birth to a son for you."
"As the leader of the clan, you should take the lead and set an example!"
Lu Xuanji was speechless.
After going around for a long time, I ended up getting myself in.
