Chapter 245: Painting Cakes

"Patriarch Mingjian, my Zhou family currently has one hundred and fifty-seven monks, including six monks in the foundation building stage, twenty-nine monks in the late stage of Qi training, sixty-three monks in the middle stage of Qi training, and forty in the early stage of Qi training.

Five people..."

"Among the family monks, there are two high-grade spiritual root monks, twenty-four middle-grade spiritual root monks, and the rest are all low-grade spiritual root monks."

"Among these family monks, there is one third-order high-grade weapon refiner, one third-order middle-grade weapon refiner, two third-order low-grade alchemists, two second-order high-grade alchemists, one second-order high-grade formation mage, and two second-order high-grade alchemists.

There are two Talisman Makers, two second-level high-level beast tamers, four second-level high-level spiritual cultivators, and one second-level winemaker... In total, there are twenty-two people who have reached the second level of various immortal cultivation arts!

"

"In addition, my Zhou family currently has twenty-three monks from my relatives, including one foundation-building monk, five late-stage Qi-training monks, thirteen middle-stage Qi-training monks, and the rest are all early-stage Qi-training monks."



On Yuquan Peak, in the Zhou family meeting hall, a small-scale family meeting was being held.

The meeting was proposed by Zhou Yang. The people attending the meeting were either the supreme elders of the Zhou family or various elders and stewards. Ordinary Zhou family members were not invited to the meeting.

The purpose of Zhou Yang's meeting was to gain an intuitive understanding of the family's current basic situation, and at the same time to enhance his own sense of existence and bring him closer to other clan members.

After all, at his level, it is no longer possible to go to each tribe's residence one by one and chat about daily life.

Therefore, he could only use this kind of meeting to let the clan members know that he, the clan leader, was still very concerned about the family and cared about the family's development.

After listening to the words of Zhou Yuanyu, the current elder of the Zhou family, he nodded with satisfaction and said:

"Very good. The number of monks is an important indicator to measure the strength of a family. Only when the number of monks in a family is large enough can more talents emerge and the family's various industries can operate normally."

"So our Zhou family's policy of encouraging monks to have children must continue to be implemented in the future, and the maternity subsidy fund must also continue!"

An ordinary Zifu family must have a population of three to five hundred monks to be considered qualified. For a family like the Chen family that has been inherited for more than 800 years, it is normal for the population of monks to be in the thousands.

It won't take long for the Zhou family to be promoted to the Zifu family, and they will also get a large oasis.

By then, let alone more than a hundred monks, the Zhou family can afford to support more than a thousand monks.

"Where is the family property? Seventh sister, you are now in charge of the family finances. Could you please tell me what sources of financial income the family has now and what expenses it has."

Zhou Yang turned his eyes and looked at Seventh Sister Zhou Yuanchun and asked.

Zhou Yuanchun is a few years older than him, and is now close to a hundred years old. The pretty lady who was as beautiful as a flower back then is now the mother of three children.

She has much better luck than her mother Zhou Xuanyu. Two of her three children have spiritual roots, even though they are only low-grade spiritual roots.

At this time, she heard Zhou Yang ask about her family's financial situation. She had succeeded the previous generation of Zhou family elders and had been in charge of the Zhou family's finances for seven or eight years. She immediately answered neatly: "The family now has three third-level spiritual mountains, namely Yuquan Peak."

, Haoyang Mountain, Chihu Ridge, and the three second-level spiritual mountains, Qingping Mountain, Qingniu Mountain, and Black Wood Peak, are the total value of the annual output of spiritual valleys, elixirs, spiritual fruits, and spiritual trees on these spiritual mountains.

, reaching 4,200 spirit stones."

"At the same time, the family now has one red flame iron mine, one refined iron mine, and one light jade mine. The total value of the spiritual objects produced annually by the three mines is more than three thousand spiritual stones."

"Before the closure of the family's two Fangshi shops, their annual actual income was more than four thousand spirit stones."

"The family's largest spiritual stone expenditure currently lies in the purchase of various alchemy materials. The purchase expenditure in this area alone exceeds two thousand spiritual stones every year."

"The rest, such as the expenses of [Feng Yue Tower], the disbursement of the maternity subsidy fund, and the purchase of other spiritual objects, the cost is probably between 1,500 and 2,000 spirit stones."

Ever since the Zhou family had two third-level alchemists, Xiao Ying and Zhou Xuanhao, they have been refining elixirs. Most of the various second-level elixirs they refined have been supplied to the family monks.

At present, those monks in the Zhou family who are in the Qi training stage and the middle-grade spiritual root monks still have a glimmer of hope in building foundations, so they restrain themselves when taking spiritual pills to improve their cultivation, and wait for the "erysipelas" every once in a while.

Remove it before taking a new elixir.

But those low-grade spiritual root monks, because they have given up hope in building foundations, don't care so much about the existence of "erysipelas" when they take spiritual pills to improve their cultivation.

These people generally want to reach the middle or late stages of Qi training as quickly as possible, so that not only will the number of family benefits they receive every year increase, but they can also go out to practice earlier to earn spiritual stones and family contribution points.

As Taoist monks, Zhou Yang and Xiao Ying also knew a lot about these things, so he was not surprised when he heard Zhou Yuanchun talk about how the purchase of elixirs had become the family's largest expense.

In fact, if the Zhou family had not yet had a small number of monks and had obtained a large amount of weapon refining and talisman-making materials through the development of the new oasis, the Zhou family's purchase expenditure on weapon refining materials and talisman-making materials would not have been much smaller.

go.

If these materials didn't need to be purchased, the Zhou family's refined iron and red flame iron wouldn't be able to be sold.

This is the case in the world of cultivating immortals. Various sects and family forces can invest resources to cultivate alchemists, weapon refiners, talisman makers, formation masters and other people who master the various arts of cultivating immortals, so as to achieve self-sufficiency in the production of end products.

But no sect or family can be completely self-sufficient in raw materials.

It's okay to say that those low-level raw materials, the territory occupied by the sect is large enough, and it won't be a problem to collect them all, but for some middle- and high-level raw materials, it is impossible for any sect to completely collect them all.

What the big sects can't do, the Zhou family certainly can't do, so it's impossible to save the cost of outsourcing materials.

The current annual financial income and expenditure of the Zhou family, after excluding expenses, can still generate an income of six to seven thousand spirit stones, which is already remarkable for a foundation-building family.

"Then how much is the balance of spirit stones in the family's accounts now?"

When Zhou Yang asked this, he looked at the old patriarch Zhou Minghan.

Since the last family meeting held by the Zhou family, because there were too many spiritual stones in stock in the family accounts, the old patriarch Zhou Minghan was afraid that the family elders who were in charge of the finances could not resist the temptation and defected to the family with money, so he proposed to transfer 90% of the spiritual stones.

Store it in his hands for safekeeping, leaving 10% for the family's daily operating expenses. If there are some large-cost items, the family elders can apply to him for special allocations.

So now, the real money bag of the Zhou family is actually held by this old man.

"The number of spiritual stones currently in stock in the family is 144,367!"

Zhou Minghan glanced at everyone in the hall and said in a deep voice this number that made everyone's hearts beat faster.

One hundred and forty thousand spiritual stones!

Even for a person like Zhou Yang who carries more than 100,000 spirit stones, the corners of his eyes trembled when he heard this number.

This is really not a small number.

If they were in the Immortal Cultivation World of Liuyun Continent, the Zhou family, with so many spiritual stones in stock, could already buy "Purple Heart Chalcedony" for the family's foundation-building monks to use to open up the Purple Mansion!

However, everything has its pros and cons. If it were true that we were cultivating immortals in Liuyun Continent, the Zhou family's contribution point system would probably not be as effective as it is now.

You need to know the family contribution points accumulated by each clan member in the current accounts of the Zhou family. Even if you do not count the contribution points of Zhou Yang and other foundation-building monks, and do not count the contribution points written off by the family monks after exchanging treasures from the family treasury, the total amount

The total amount has exceeded 80,000!

If these family contribution points had not been dispersed into the hands of hundreds of Qi-training monks, the current contribution point system of the Zhou family would probably have been destroyed due to the inability to redeem a sufficient number of foundation-building pills.

If the contribution point system is destroyed, in order to appease the resentment of the tribesmen, Zhou Yang can only use spiritual stones to pay these tribesmen one-to-one. By then, not much of the 140,000 spiritual stones will be left.

"Okay, very good. You can keep these spiritual stones for now. They will be of great use in the future. The source of our Zhou family's foundation-building pills in the future may all fall on these spiritual stones!"

Zhou Yang was silent for a while, and then he shouted loudly.

Hearing what he said, except for Zhou Minghan, who already knew the inside story, the other monks in the temple all had their eyes lit up and looked at him with surprise on their faces.

When it comes to the monks below the Zhou family's foundation-building stage, who has contributed the most points, the people currently in the palace must be among them.

As the top leaders of the Zhou family, they all know that the Zhou family now only has one foundation-building pill left, so over the years, they have been secretly working hard to use various methods to obtain more family contribution points. They want to get more family contribution points as soon as possible.

Collect enough 20,000 contribution points to get this foundation-building pill.

It was also because none of them was convinced by the other and they were secretly wrestling with each other that the first Qi-training monk who could collect 20,000 contribution points never showed up.

Although they are all brothers and sisters of the same race, when it comes to the Foundation Establishment Pill, no one is willing to give in to the other, and they can only compete based on their abilities.

However, the result of this is that these people are very pessimistic about the future, and are very afraid that the Zhou family will completely cut off the source of the Foundation Establishment Pill in the future, and all their hard work will be in vain.

Now Zhou Yang suddenly said that he can use spirit stones to buy foundation building pills in the future. No matter where he bought them from, it was equivalent to giving these monks in the Qi training period a reassurance, making them feel relieved and relieved.

tone.

Zhou Yang saw all the changes in the expressions of these people, stood up and looked at everyone with a smile on his face and said:

"Okay, I have a general understanding of the family's situation. On behalf of other members of the family, I would like to thank all my uncles, brothers and sisters for their hard work."

"Please rest assured, as long as I, Zhou Yang, take charge of the Zhou family for a day, I will not treat any clan member unfairly who has contributed to the family."

"Let's all work hard for the family. When the family becomes stronger, not only will there be foundation-building pills, but also spiritual objects such as [Purple Heart Chalcedony] will be available!"
