"In the past year, we have collected more than 24,600 scattered mortals in the oasis. These people have been placed in the Xicheng District of the small city. Later, we will continue to look for other scattered mortals and move them here to gather them. live."
"At the same time, the various Lingshan mines have completed the handover with the monks stationed at Huangshamen. According to your instructions, the patriarch, we have given each stationed monk a hundred spiritual stones as a reward for their hard work."
"The only exceptions now are the three small and medium-sized oases. Since they are occupied by a few foundation-building casual cultivators, we followed your instructions, the patriarch, and just passed the news to them and asked them to discuss it and arrive there in three years. Chihushan came to see you, and now they still have two years to think about it."
"Finally, the main monks of the family have moved to the Chihu Mountain Oasis and have begun to clean up the monsters on the oasis."
In the "Qianyang Cave", Zhou Yang sat cross-legged on the jade bed, quietly listening to Zhou Guangxiang's report on various aspects of the Chihu Mountain Oasis.
Because Zhou Xuanhao needed to be at the Yuquan Lake Oasis to direct and handle various family migration matters, Zhou Yang left all family affairs at the Chihu Mountain Oasis to Zhou Guangxiang.
He did this not only because he didn't want to waste time and energy on these things, but also because he wanted to hone Zhou Guangxiang's overall management ability and prepare for him to take over the position of clan leader in the future.
That's right, Zhou Yang is already thinking about training a successor.
As his cultivation level increases, as the various things he needs to be busy with increase, and as the size of the Zhou family grows larger and larger, he will definitely not be able to spare a lot of time to deal with family affairs in the future.
In this case, of course he can no longer do practical things in the name of the clan leader.
Of course, with his cultivation and influence, even if he steps down as clan leader and encounters some major events, he will definitely still have to make the decision while he is within the family.
This is also a management method popular among the major forces in the world of immortality.
For a large sect like the Xuanyang Immortal Sect, although the Yuanying stage monks usually do not show up and do not interfere in the daily management affairs of the sect, some real major events involving the inheritance of the sect and the rise and fall of the sect must be handled by Yuanying. The decision can only be made after discussion among the monks.
So after listening to Zhou Guangxiang's report, Zhou Yang's eyes flashed with satisfaction, and he couldn't help but nodded slightly and praised: "Not bad, not bad, I also saw that small town. Guangxiang, you did a good job this time, and you lived up to my expectations." Your expectations.”
"Thank you Uncle Jiu for the compliment."
Zhou Guangxiang's face lit up and he accepted Zhou Yang's compliment with a smile.
"Next, you have to work harder. According to the pattern of the small town at the bottom of the mountain, here, here, and here, you can lead people to build three similar small towns. Then, relying on the small town as the center, build them every hundred miles on all sides. A small town that can accommodate ten thousand people must have at least eight affiliated towns, and each town must be stationed with a monk who is above the middle stage of Qi training."
"These garrisoned monks can receive spiritual stones from their families to provide for their daily practice needs, and they can receive an additional 20 points of family contribution points every year. Their mission is to protect the land cultivated by mortals from attacks by monsters."
"Our goal is to eliminate all the monsters on Chihu Mountain within five years, to have the food produced here to supply the daily consumption of 300,000 people within ten years, and to triple the population of mortals in the oasis within twenty years. Times!"
Zhou Yang took out a map of the Chihu Mountain Oasis, circled the fortification sites one by one, and told Zhou Guangxiang his plans and requirements in a deep voice.
If you look carefully, you can see that the points he circled are all close to the third-order Lingshan Mountain, and there are relatively large independent water source areas nearby.
There is no doubt that water is important to people in the desert.
The climate of large oases like Chihushan Oasis is affected by a large number of green plants. It is no longer a complete desert arid climate, and it is rare to see a few drops of rain a year.
Although the annual rainfall on the oasis is not as high as in places like Liuyunzhou Xiuxianjie, it still reaches about one foot, which is enough to form small lakes and rivers in many places on the oasis.
And because it is less than ten thousand miles away from the Duanyun Mountains, there are many underground rivers formed by the water from the snowy mountains of the Duanyun Mountains flowing through it. The groundwater resources are much richer than those in other large oases.
To sum up, Zhou Yang said that it is not difficult to achieve the number of mortals in the Chihu Mountain Oasis by more than three times in twenty years.
Zhou Guangxiang was also aware of these situations, so after listening to Zhou Yang's request, he immediately nodded and responded: "No problem, please rest assured, uncle Jiu, my nephew will definitely complete the task you assigned."
Seeing this, Zhou Yang couldn't help but patted his shoulder and encouraged him: "Work hard and achieve some results, so that other tribesmen can really recognize you and convince you. Only then can you convince everyone when you become the leader."
"My nephew understands that I will not let you down, Uncle Jiu." Zhou Guangxiang nodded vigorously, with a smile on his face.
Zhou Yang looked at him with an energetic face, his eyes were slightly dazed, as if he had seen himself before.
When he was in front of the old patriarch Zhou Minghan, he was also full of energy and determined to lead the family to prosperity through his own efforts.
Now that the old patriarch Zhou Minghan has passed away, he has taken over the elder's role and continues to pass on this spirit to the next generation of Zhou family monks.
"This is what the book says about passing on the fire from generation to generation!"
"The inheritance of firepower from generation to generation is all moving towards the same goal. As long as the firework continues, the goal will one day be achieved!"
In the cave, Zhou Yang looked at Zhou Guangxiang's leaving figure, and as if he had some realization in his heart, he couldn't help but reveal a cheerful smile on his face.
For the next two years, Zhou Yang has been sitting on the Red Tiger Mountain, silently cultivating his magic power, and trying to practice the second magical power "Rainbow Golden Escape", rarely leaving the cave.
"Rainbow Light Golden Escape" belongs to the magical power of escape, and it is an advanced variant of "Golden Escape". After mastering this magical power, you can transform into a golden rainbow light and escape for hundreds of miles with just one spell.
However, this kind of escape technique can only allow the immortal cultivator to escape by himself, and cannot take others to escape like flying with a sword or flying in the clouds and mist.
Zhou Yang has been practicing this escape technique for two years, but he has only scratched the surface. He can barely succeed three or four times out of ten casts. There is still a long way to go before he can truly gain access to magical powers.
In the past two years, with the help of the three hundred Shatuo beasts rented for free by the Chen family, all the mortals of the Zhou family who wanted to migrate to the Chihu Mountain oasis have finally migrated.
Of course, this kind of large-scale, long-distance migration cannot guarantee that every mortal will be alive. On the contrary, many mortals will die, accounting for at least one percent of the total number of people.
Of course Zhou Yang knew about this situation, but he knew it, but he couldn't stop migrating just because of this.
Although it is a bit cold and unhuman to say this, the fact is that to the immortal cultivators, mortals are like cattle and horses domesticated by herdsmen!
If all the cattle and horses domesticated by a herdsman die, it will be difficult for the herdsman's family to survive without the cattle and horses to support them. However, the death of some cattle and horses during the migration to change pastures is a situation that the herdsmen can accept.
Although this metaphor is not entirely accurate, it is very similar to the current situation of the Zhou family.
Those mortals who died during the migration were certainly innocent, but if they were not migrated, it would hinder the development of the Zhou family, and it would be them, or their descendants, who would suffer later.
The completion of the relocation of mortals basically means that the foundation transfer of the Zhou family has been successfully completed. The next plan of the Zhou family is to engage in large-scale development.
Immortal cultivators should develop various spiritual mountains, develop and build spiritual fields, spiritual medicine gardens, spiritual fruit gardens, spiritual beast gardens and other resource points to maximize the income for the family.
Ordinary mortals must also work hard to develop wasteland and turn wasteland covered with weeds and shrubs into fertile fields full of food and vegetables.
Of course, the main ones doing this kind of large-scale development are those monks in the Qi training stage. Monks like Zhou Yang in the Zifu stage, and even a few foundation-building monks, don't have to waste time doing such "little things".
For them to advance to the next level in cultivation, or to make progress in certain immortal cultivation skills, is more important than cultivating hundreds of acres of spiritual land.
What makes Zhou Yang happy is that after several attempts in the past few years, Xiao Ying finally succeeded in refining a furnace of third-level middle-grade elixir and was promoted to a third-order middle-grade alchemist.
The success rate of a third-level mid-level alchemist in refining a third-level low-level elixir has reached over 60%, which means that even if Xiao Ying refines a foundation-building elixir, she has a success rate of more than half.
And Zhou Yang still has four fourth-level demon elixirs obtained from the storage rings of two golden elixir stage monks!
In other words, even if the two Foundation-Building Pills stored by the Zhou family are exchanged by family monks, Zhou Yang can ask Xiao Ying to refine the Foundation-Building Pills to ensure the supply of Foundation-Building Pills.
The meaning here is self-evident.
Of course, in order to maximize the use of the four fourth-level demon pills in his hand, Zhou Yang would definitely not let Xiao Ying refine the foundation-building pill now unless it was a last resort.
At least he would have to wait until Xiao Ying upgraded her alchemy skills to the third level of high-grade elixirs and her success rate in refining third-level low-grade elixirs to over 90% before he would consider this matter.
"Uncle Ninth, those casual cultivators and foundation-building monks are already waiting outside. Do you want them to come in now?"
In the "Qianyang Cave", Zhou Guangxiang walked quickly into the cave. When he saw Zhou Yang sitting cross-legged on the jade bed, he hurriedly stated the purpose of his visit.
"I understand, let them in."
Zhou Yang glanced at his nephew and nodded slightly in agreement.
"Uncle Jiu, please wait a moment. My nephew will call them in right now."
Zhou Guangxiang received permission and quickly played a transmission note to explain the situation to the people waiting outside.
After a while, four men and one woman, five foundation-building monks of different ages, walked into the cave together and came to Zhou Yang.
The five people walked to a stop three feet away from Zhou Yang. They first took a peek at Zhou Yang who was sitting cross-legged on the jade bed. When they noticed that Zhou Yang's pupils were golden-red and he was looking at them, the five people
Everyone was shocked. They quickly lowered their heads, bent down, and bowed to Zhou Yang, saying: "Juniors Guo Shaoyang, Ma Xingrui, He Lin, Yu Ping, and Wang Hailiang, pay their respects to Senior Zhou!"
These five people were apparently the actual occupants of the three medium-sized oases around Chihu Mountain before the Zhou family moved here.
