Zhou Yang looked at the large group of people kneeling on the ground in the meeting hall, his expression also changed slightly, and his eyes were full of solemnity.
Public anger is hard to offend!
Even if he is the patriarch of the Zhou family, even if he is a monk in the Zifu period, he cannot completely ignore the emotions of all the clan members and do things that are completely unacceptable to the clan members.
He can change the ancestral laws and the ancestral system, because cultivators say they care about these things, but in fact they don’t care that much, at least not about their own fundamental interests.
What's more, the people who will ultimately benefit from his reforms are all the monks in the Zhou family, so naturally not many people will oppose it.
But when it comes to the fundamental interests of the "Foundation Building Pill", even if he is a monk in the Zifu period, even if he is the clan leader, those Zhou family monks who have not yet established the Foundation will risk their lives to fight to the end.
Because this is not only a fight for their own interests, but also a fight for the interests of their future generations.
As Zhou Yuanliang said, if outsiders can obtain foundation-building pills from the Zhou family as long as they have outstanding qualifications and talents, then what is the point of the family contribution points they have accumulated and worked hard for?
If their descendants cannot obtain foundation-building pills as long as their spiritual root qualifications are not as good as those of outsiders, then why are they still having offspring?
Of course, these people didn't know that Zhou Yang still had four demon pills in his hand that could be used to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill.
But Zhou Yang knew better that even if he spoke out about the matter at this time, no one among the tribesmen who were now agitated would compromise because of it.
Because compared to the population of the Zhou family, a dozen Foundation Establishment Pills are also far from enough!
Therefore, after he pondered for a while, he waved his hands and said: "Every clan member, please get up first. The family meeting is originally meant to convene everyone to discuss family affairs. Since everyone in the clan feels that this matter is not feasible for the time being, let's put it down for now.
Let’s do this!”
Hearing Zhou Yang's words, Tan Qiu's face changed slightly, and then his eyes dimmed, feeling extremely disappointed in his heart.
He thought that the always enlightened clan leader would understand his painstaking efforts, but now it seems that he really thought too much.
Yes, a monk who was born into a family and grew up enjoying the benefits of his family, how could he be willing to betray his family and speak for outsiders?
"This time my proposal has angered so many people, so my position as the Foreign Affairs Elder will probably be revoked next!"
"But if you cancel it, just cancel it! Anyway, I don't have a few years to live. Hong'er and the others have the inheritance left by Yuanchun and me, which is enough for them in this lifetime!"
He thought about this in a depressed mood, with a look of loneliness and frustration on his face.
Of course, no one except Zhou Yang noticed this at this time.
After those members of the Zhou family who were kneeling to petition heard Zhou Yang's words, they all breathed a sigh of relief and shouted "Patriarch Shengming" loudly, stood up and sat back down.
None of these people, including Tan Qiu himself, noticed the words "not feasible for the time being" in Zhou Yang's mouth.
Only Zhou Xuanhao and Zhou Guangxiang looked at Zhou Yang with twinkling eyes and said nothing.
Of course, the two of them and Zhou Yang are of the same mind. Whatever decision Zhou Yang makes, as his father and loyal admirer, both of them will choose to support it.
However, although they are both disciples of the Zhou family, even though they have successfully established the Foundation, they actually still care for the children of their own clan, and do not want to see Zhou Yang antagonize the entire clan of monks because of the Foundation Establishment Pill.
So after the two of them heard the deep meaning of Zhou Yang's words, although they didn't say anything on their faces, they thought in their hearts that they would discuss the matter with Zhou Yang after the meeting was over.
But at this moment, Zhou Yang spoke again.
"However, although we cannot give the Foundation Establishment Pill to outsiders, we still have to continue to introduce outstanding talents from the outside world. I agree with Elder Tan's previous words. The family can indeed use part of its savings to establish
A special subsidy fund will support those truly gifted guest ministers, and when female monks in the family are looking for a son-in-law, they can also give priority to these people!"
When Tan Qiu heard Zhou Yang's words, he couldn't help but raise his head, and his dim eyes showed a hint of surprise.
He originally thought that after Zhou Yang said his previous words, his suggestions would be completely rejected, but unexpectedly, some of them were retained, and finally his efforts were not in vain.
As for those Zhou family monks who had previously opposed it, such as Zhou Yuanpeng, Zhou Yuanchang, Zhou Yuanliang and other deacons and elders, although they frowned slightly after hearing Zhou Yang's words, no one came out to object again.
Frankly speaking, this part of Tan Qiu's proposal is indeed a good thing for the Zhou family. If they object, the reasons are untenable.
Furthermore, the most taboo thing in life is to push yourself too far.
Zhou Yang had just made a concession. If they still object for the sake of opposition without knowing what is right, then they really do not take the majesty of the clan leader and the majesty of the Zifu period monks in their eyes.
"Okay, since everyone has no objections, then the matter is settled."
Zhou Yang nodded and decided on the matter on the spot.
Then he turned his eyes and looked at Finance Elder Zhou Guangyun and said:
"Guangyun, please make a record now. Starting tomorrow, if a Zhou family child gives birth to a low-grade spiritual root monk, starting from the date of his birth, he will receive a subsidy of 20 low-grade spiritual stones every year until he is thirty years old; childbirth
For a middle-grade spiritual root monk, the number of spiritual stones subsidized each year can be increased to 40 low-grade spiritual stones; if a high-grade spiritual root monk is born, the annual spiritual stone subsidy will be 100 spiritual stones!"
"Also, as long as any Zhou family monk gives birth to more than three offspring with spiritual roots, the family can reward 1,000 special contribution points. For every three more offspring, an additional 1,000 special contribution points will be awarded. There is no upper limit!"
Ten thousand special contribution points can be exchanged for a foundation-building pill. This was Zhou Yang's original words.
Now, if you give birth to three offspring with spiritual roots, you can get one thousand special contribution points. This reward is quite generous.
It can be seen that after Zhou Yang said these words, the eyes of many younger monks of the Zhou family showed extremely fiery looks.
Compared with the older monks, these young monks are undoubtedly much inferior in terms of wealth. Some of the tasks and errands in the family that are easy to earn and contribute points are mostly occupied by monks with higher levels of cultivation and more seniority.
.
This is true for ordinary contribution points, let alone special contribution points.
Although Zhou Yang originally mentioned many ways to earn special contribution points, which of those ways does not require at least the advanced level of Qi training to be able to compete?
And even for middle-level spiritual root monks, if they want to practice to the late stage of Qi training, they must be at least thirty or forty years old, which is really difficult for some young monks to accept.
But things are different now. Now with this new rule set by Zhou Yang, they can earn special contribution points by giving birth to offspring, and they can also get a generous spiritual stone subsidy. It can be said that they kill two birds with one stone.
In this regard, their young bodies are much more powerful than those old monks!
Zhou Yang saw the fiery light in the eyes of these young monks, and immediately knew in his heart that the Zhou family would soon have a large number of newborns.
"Why does it feel like I have become the director of the birth control office?"
He smiled bitterly in his heart, shook his head and didn't think about it any more. He just looked at the financial elder Zhou Guangyun who had recorded what he just said and said, "Okay, that's the end of the discussion on population development for now, Guangyun, now it's up to you to report.
Let’s talk about the family’s financial income and expenditure. Well, it’s best to explain clearly the sources of income and the places of expenditure, so that everyone in the clan can have an idea.”
The family's financial situation has always been the focus of all the monks. When Zhou Yang mentioned this, all the Zhou family monks pricked up their ears and opened their eyes to look at the financial elder Zhou Guangyun.
This family meeting is the first time the Zhou family has held a family meeting with the participation of the entire clan since they were promoted to the Zifu family.
Many people want to know how much better and what are the advantages of the family after being promoted to the Zifu family.
"As for the patriarch, the family's current sources of financial income mainly include the following aspects."
"The first aspect is the output of spiritual fields from various spiritual mountains. The family currently owns one fourth-level spiritual mountain, seven third-level spiritual mountains, fourteen second-level high-level spiritual mountains, seven second-level medium-level spiritual mountains, and two second-level spiritual mountains.
There are five lower-grade Lingshan Mountains, and the total number of spiritual fields on these Lingshan Mountains has reached 2,486 acres!"
"After deducting the daily consumption of the family monks from the spiritual grains produced by these two thousand four hundred and eighty-six acres of spiritual fields, we can make a profit of 15,000 low-grade spiritual stones just from selling the spiritual grains every year!"
"The second aspect comes from the output of the mine. Currently, the family owns a large-scale red flame iron ore vein, a medium-sized concentrated iron mine, a medium-sized black iron mine, a medium-sized chinaite mine, a small-sized concentrated iron mine, and a small
There is a red copper mine, a small red gold mine, a small Huangyan jade mine, a small light jade mine, a small spiritual jade mine, and a micro dense jade mine!"
"These mineral veins have already been mined. Although the output of some mineral veins has not yet increased because they have just begun to be mined, but even so, the profits these mines bring to the family every year should be around 23,000 lower grade spirits.
More than a stone!"
"The third aspect is the output from the Spiritual Beast Garden, Spiritual Medicine Garden, and Spiritual Fruit Garden. The family currently has 10 second-order high-grade spiritual beasts, flying fire bats, 8 second-order high-grade demonic beasts, golden-haired blue sheep, and second-order high-grade golden blue sheep.
There are 26 flame-devouring spiritual beasts, 142 first-grade high-grade spiritual beasts, Shatuo beasts, 46 first-grade high-grade spiritual beasts, tinder rabbits, and 476 first-grade medium-grade demonic beasts, red turkeys.”
"In addition, the family now has a total of more than 530 acres of spiritual medicine garden and more than 710 acres of spiritual fruit garden. Although most of the output of the spiritual beast garden, spiritual medicine garden, and spiritual fruit garden are consumed within the family, they are sold every year
The number of profitable spiritual stones exceeds five thousand low-grade spiritual stones!"
"The fourth aspect comes from the stores in Fangshi. It is difficult to calculate this aspect for the time being, because Liuyunfang has only been open for less than a year, and we have already closed the stores in Ping'anfang. If we have to give a number,
I think that in five years’ time, the number of spiritual stones our Zhou Jiaguang will profit from from the shops in Fangshi will be at least 20,000 spiritual stones!”
"The fifth aspect comes from the tribute from vassal families. There are currently five foundation-building monks vassalizing our Zhou family, as well as Huang Yi's Huang family and the Dong family in Red Fox Ridge. According to the conditions given by the clan leader to Ma Shaoyang and other vassal monks
, 30% of their Lingshan output will be donated to our Zhou family, and this part of the income is expected to reach 5,000 Lingshi every year!"
