Thanks to various fertility incentives, the growth rate of the monk population of the Zhou family has not been slow. However, the previous monk population of the Zhou family was too small, which caused a serious mismatch between the population and the territory occupied by the family.
In fact, by comparing the data, we can clearly see the Zhou family's population growth rate.
When Zhou Yanggang took over as the head of the Zhou family a hundred years ago, the Zhou family's monk population was less than thirty. The number of monks of the "Xuan" generation and the "Yuan" generation, who were the main population, was only in their early twenties combined.
Now a hundred years have passed, and the number of monks in the Zhou family has increased tenfold. The number of monks of the "Guang" generation and the "Tong" generation, who are the main population, has both reached more than one hundred.
Yuhua Mingguang, Xuanyuan Guangtong, Blessings and Prosperity, Eternal Green, these sixteen characters of the Zhou family monks were personally established by Zhou Yuquan, the first generation patriarch who founded the Zhou family. According to the rules, they are one character for "once upon a time".
When the oldest monk in a generation turns sixty, the descendants of the monks who are not in the previous generation will start to use the next generation.
For example, Zhou Xuanhao is the eldest son of the "Xuan" generation of the Zhou family. After he reaches the age of sixty, those monks who are not the direct descendants of the "Guang" generation monks will be the "Yuan" generation, not the same as him.
"Xuan" character generation.
However, when it came to the generation of "Tong", the situation changed slightly. That is, when the first monk of the generation of "Guang" was under sixty years old, there were young monks of the generation of "Guang" who responded to the Zhou family's promotion of fertility.
The policy gave birth to offspring with spiritual roots.
It would mess up the generational hierarchy. Of course, the descendants of these monks of the "Guang" generation will automatically become "Tong" monks, but at the same time, the direct descendants of other monks who are not born of "Guang" generation monks will still follow the clan.
The standard extension is to use the font size of the "Guang" generation.
So an interesting situation arises. Many adult monks of the "Tong" generation have to call a baby uncle who can't even walk.
This is also a problem common to large families.
Of course, this little problem doesn't really bother them. Although a cultivating family like the Zhou family also emphasizes orderliness between elders and young ones, things that violate human ethics are not allowed to happen.
However, they also follow the principle of respecting the strong in the world of immortality, and will not let the monks in the Qi-training stage rely on their seniority to give orders to the monks in the Foundation-building stage.
Putting aside these minor problems, the one thing that really satisfied Zhou Yang was the large increase in the number of monks who were relatives of the Zhou family.
The great increase in the number of monks from foreign relatives shows that the men of the Zhou family have now become the most popular sons-in-law in the eyes of the female cultivators of the small families and the nuns, so that they will be willing to give up their freedom to join the Zhou family and serve the Zhou family.
These relatives joining the Zhou family not only effectively filled the vacancy of the Zhou family's insufficient number of monks, but also had a great positive effect on the increase in the Zhou family's monk population.
After all, the probability of offspring born from the union of immortal cultivators and cultivators to have spiritual roots is many times greater than that of mortal offspring.
"Yes, yes, population is the foundation of a family. Only by having a large enough population base can we ensure that outstanding talents will appear in the family from generation to generation and that the family inheritance can be passed down smoothly."
Zhou Yang looked at the many members of the same race in the audience with brilliant eyes, his face full of relief and joy, and he kept cheering.
He looked at everyone in the hall with bright eyes and said with emotion: "I recall that when I first took over the position of clan leader, there were only twenty-six monks in my Zhou family, and the entire family relied on more than a dozen elders to support its operation.
, even the family inheritance is facing the worry of being cut off!"
"Now a hundred years have passed, not only has the territory of our Zhou family increased more than ten times compared to a hundred years ago, but the number of monks has also increased. This is all due to everyone here today. These are all the countless people who have sacrificed their lives for the prosperity of our Zhou family.
The credit of our ancestors!”
"The Zhou family is what it is today because of my contribution, the contribution of all the deceased ancestors, and even more of the contribution of everyone here!"
His words were all spoken from the bottom of his heart.
The growth of the Zhou family's territory is mostly due to him, but he has not contributed to the growth of the population other than formulating policies to encourage childbirth.
The people who actually carried out and worked for it are all the Zhou family present today and those who have passed away. This credit belongs entirely to these people.
If these people hadn't responded to his fertility policy by taking concubines and giving birth to offspring, I don't know how long it would have taken for the Zhou family's monk population to reach the current number.
"Tai Shang Elder, you are too humble. We may have contributed to the Zhou family, but the Zhou family's current status is mainly due to your contribution, Tai Shang Elder. Without you, there would be no Zhou family today.
Your dedication to our Zhou family and your achievements will be remembered by every member of the Zhou family and will never be forgotten in their lifetime!"
As the patriarch of the clan, Zhou Guangxiang was able to sit on the deputy seat under Zhou Yang. As Zhou Yang's most loyal admirer and successor, he has always admired and respected Zhou Yang, the elder who single-handedly brought the Zhou family to power.
Admiration, I couldn't help but speak out at this time, using warm and passionate words to express my respect and gratitude to this elder.
"The patriarch is right. For us to have the cultivation and status we have today, and for our Zhou family to have this glory today, it is because of you, the Supreme Elder, that you have made the greatest contribution. All members of my Zhou family, from the foundation-building monks to ordinary mortals,
Children, all of us are grateful for your kindness, Supreme Elder, and thank you for your kindness in rebuilding the Zhou family!"
Zhou Guangqing, the newly promoted foundation-building monk of the Zhou family, also looked at Zhou Yang with reverence and gratitude and loudly echoed Zhou Guangxiang's words.
His gratitude to Zhou Yang also came from the bottom of his heart.
Without the Foundation Establishment Pill that Zhou Yang left for the Zhou family, it would be extremely difficult for a mid-level spiritual root monk like him to take the Foundation Establishment Pill to build the foundation!
As the first beneficiary after Zhou Yang formulated the rules of exchanging contribution points for Foundation Establishment Pills, he deeply felt the benefits of this rules and was also a staunch supporter of this rules. Naturally, he also expressed his gratitude to Zhou Yang for doing all this.
Full of gratitude.
While echoing Zhou Guangxiang's words, he bent down and paid homage to Zhou Yang: "I and the younger generation have no way to repay the kindness that the Supreme Elder has shown to the Zhou family. We can only wish the Supreme Elder a smooth road and eternal happiness."
Enjoy!"
"I wish the Supreme Elder a smooth road and eternal blessings!"
The Zhou family members in the hall, except Zhou Xuanhao, as well as the clan leader Zhou Guangxiang, all followed Zhou Guangqing and bowed to Zhou Yang, in this way to thank Zhou Yang for his kindness to the Zhou family and them.
of kindness.
Most of them are not stupid people, and they all know the importance of Zhou Yang to the Zhou family.
Normally they might argue over some interests, but when it comes to pleasing Zhou Yang, they all have the same goal.
Zhou Yang's seventeenth year away from home actually caused a lot of turmoil within the Zhou family. Many monks of the Zhou family were worried that his death would cause the strong and prosperous Zhou family to decline again.
Even if he did not die outside, many monks of the Zhou family were worried that he would be fascinated by the prosperity of Liuyunzhou's immortal world, and would never want to return to the barren and backward Boundless Sand Sea to take care of their descendants.
tribesmen.
This time Zhou Yang came back, everyone in the Zhou family from bottom to top breathed a sigh of relief, feeling like they had found their backbone.
Therefore, after hearing Zhou Yang's impulsive words at today's meeting, people with flexible minds like Zhou Guangxiang and Zhou Guangqing were keenly aware of the opportunity, and took advantage of the situation to express their gratitude and gratitude, hoping to use this to awaken and deepen Zhou Yang's understanding of
The family's feelings will not lead to the decision to abandon them.
As smart as Zhou Yang, of course he would not fail to see the little thoughts of people like Zhou Guangxiang, but he could also feel that these tribesmen were truly grateful and grateful to him from the heart, rather than superficially.
This is enough, for him, this is enough!
This at least made him feel that his efforts over the years were not in vain. Otherwise, if he raised a bunch of white-eyed wolves who did not know how to repay kindness, he would have doubts about whether there was something wrong with his vision and ability.
If that were to happen, he might really get so angry and walk away, never to care about the family's affairs again!
He looked at his father Zhou Xuanhao, who looked happy and satisfied in the audience. The father and son looked at each other and smiled, then waved their hands with a smile and said: "Everyone, get up. We are all members of the Zhou family, and we are all for
Why do you need to say such kind words if you are working hard for your family?"
After saying that, he nodded slightly and said to Zhou Guangyun, the financial elder who stood up: "Guangyun, please tell me about the family's financial situation. I want to know how much financial input the family has each year, how much expenditure it has, and
Your financial advice."
Zhou Guangyun has been a financial elder for more than 20 years. No one knows the financial situation of the Zhou family better than she does. When she heard Zhou Yang call her name, she quickly stood up and said:
"Returning to Elder Taishang, my Zhou family's current financial situation is very good. After the family moved to the Chihu Mountain Oasis, the various spiritual mountains and mines acquired after these years of development have now entered a full return period."
"Also, the family's market has become more and more prosperous in recent years. Thanks to the industrial chain processing plan formulated by you, the patriarch, now, nearly 70% of the output of the family's various spiritual mines and medicine gardens can be used by the family.
The Yitang monks process it into finished products and sell them in the market."
"At the same time, adhering to your concept of small profits but quick turnover, the various low-level magic weapons, elixirs, and talismans produced by our family occupy almost 80% of the market in the market, attracting countless casual cultivators and small family cultivators to come and purchase!"
"According to Caitang's statistics, as of this year, after excluding labor costs, transportation costs and other expenses, the total income of our Zhou family's various industries has reached 58,000 low-grade spiritual stones."
"As for expenditures, the family's annual expenditure on spiritual stones is about fifteen thousand low-grade spiritual stones. The main expenditures are the birth subsidies and the purchase of various spiritual raw materials. In addition, the family's current annual contribution is an annual gift.
The expenditure has reached more than 23,000 points, and it is still increasing year by year."
"As for the suggestions from our financial hall..."
