Chapter 60

Probably he had long been used to Zhou Yang's various performances beyond ordinary people. For him to practice the first layer of flying star sword formula in less than two months, the old patriarch Zhou Minghan was not too surprised, but praised him as usual.

As these people returned to the family, as Zhou Yang expected, white flags were hung on the whole Yuquan peak, and people of the Zhou family who had lost their loved ones could be heard crying everywhere.

On this Yuquan peak, there are not only the friars of the Zhou family, but also the mortals of the direct descendants of the friars of the Zhou family within two generations. Like Zhou Xuanyu's two sons who have no spiritual roots, they live next to her yard with dozens of people.

Zhou Yang saw this scene full of mountains and vegetables for the first time in decades. At first glance, he was really touched.

"Is it hard? Just feel bad! "

"Why are our family friars more cohesive than casual friars and even sect friars? It is because every friar in our family has lived and practiced together since childhood. In addition to having the same ancestor, we also have friendship outside family affection. We should mourn and remember the death of relatives and friends. "

"On the other hand, the monks of the sect, although they also have the friendship of teachers and disciples and fellow disciples, it is absolutely impossible that the death of some low-level monks can trigger the mourning and remembrance of the whole sect as we do now in the Zhou family."

"You see, the mountains are covered with vegetables. All the people of the ethnic group did it spontaneously. The sound of mourning is also true."

At the top of Yuquan peak, Zhou Minghan, the old patriarch, did not know when he came behind Zhou Yang. What he said just now was from his mouth.

"My grandson understands what my great grandfather meant, but compared with the present mountains full of vegetables, my grandson is more willing to let the mountains hang red silk, let the ethnic people use wine as a song, and happily celebrate the new foundation building of the family friars, the new purple house, and even the new Golden elixir!" Zhou Yang looked back at the old patriarch and muttered in a low tone.

When Zhou Minghan heard the speech, his face moved. He couldn't help looking at him deeply and said, "I'm looking forward to that day. If there is one day, you must go to my grave and hang a red silk, so that I can celebrate with you!"

Zhou Yang frowned and said, "great grandfather, you're too pessimistic. The Friar's life during the foundation period can reach 240 years. You're less than 200 years old now. It's time for you to take the helm of the Zhou family's big ship."

"Stop, Xiao Jiu, you don't have to persuade me about taking over the patriarch. I'm determined. It's useless to persuade anyone. You'd better think about how to reform the family after you take over the patriarch. Now there are more foundation building friars in the Zhou family, and some of the previous systems should be changed!"

Zhou Minghan waved and didn't want to discuss the succession with Zhou Yang at all. It's obviously true. As he said, he has made up his mind to retreat behind the scenes.

Seeing this, Zhou Yang felt helpless.

After returning to the family, he talked about it with Zhou Xuanhao, the father of the left behind family, and asked his father, Zhou xuantai and other family elders to persuade the old patriarch to take back his decision, but the result was not ideal at all.

Zhou Xuanhao and others not only didn't persuade the old clan leader to withdraw their decision, but they were rebelled by the old clan leader and supported him to take over the position of clan leader, which made him feel uncomfortable.

However, it's hard to be uncomfortable, but what should be done has to be done.

Half a month after returning to the family, Zhou Yang took over the genealogy handed over by the old patriarch Zhou Minghan in front of the monks of the whole family, and officially became the fourth generation patriarch of the Zhou family in Yuquan. The old patriarch Zhou Minghan retired and became the first Supreme elder of the family.

After taking over as the patriarch, Zhou Yang's first job was to listen to the family elders report on the family's internal affairs, personnel, finance and so on.

"At present, our Zhou family has one friar in the later stage of foundation building, two friars in the early stage of foundation building, four elders on the ninth floor of Qi training, six friars in the later stage of Qi training, eight friars in the middle stage of Qi training, three friars in the early stage of Qi training, and two congenital friars of the Guangzi generation, a total of 26."

"In terms of relatives, there are still five friars' relatives, including two friars in the later stage of Qi practice and three friars in the middle stage of Qi practice."

"In terms of secular people, according to statistics three years ago, there were 113720 mortals with my Zhou family's blood on several oases, and 38465 mortals with foreign surnames."

After the elders of the Zhou family returned to the family for adjustment, the elder in charge of managing the family personnel has become the second elder Zhou xuanbin. For example, when Zhou Yang held a family meeting, he first spoke and reported.

After listening to the data reported by him, even Zhou Yang and other participants had long been prepared for the bad data in this regard. At the moment, their hearts sank after hearing it, and everyone's face was very ugly.

Zhou Yang still remembers that when he first went down the mountain at the age of 17, the Zhou family was not the old patriarch, Zhou Minghan, the only friar of the "Ming" generation. The number of friars of the three generations of light, Xuan and yuan added up to 40 or 50.

But now, just over ten years later, all the friars of the "light" generation have been sitting and falling, and there is no one left.

The "Xuan" generation friars, who used to be the backbone of the family, also lost two important figures, Zhou Xuanyu and Zhou xuanjing, and a broken arm, Zhou xuantai.

"Guang" generation of friars died, "Xuan" generation of friars suffered a heavy blow, "Yuan" generation of friars have not grown up, "Guang" generation of friars are still children

At this time, Zhou Yang knew how bad the situation of the Zhou family was, and why the old patriarch Zhou Minghan insisted on retiring.

"What about financial revenue and expenditure? Uncle Qi, go on! "

He looked at the three elders who succeeded Zhou Xuanyu as the elder of the family affairs, Zhou xuanlin said.

The financial affairs of the family have always been managed by the common affairs elder. Therefore, the common affairs elder has always been the confidant of the clan leader, but the current situation of the Zhou family. As long as Zhou xuanlin doesn't do anything, Zhou Yang can't replace him.

"In terms of finance, our Zhou family currently has one third-order middle-grade spiritual vein, one third-order lower grade spiritual vein, one second-order lower grade spiritual vein, 220 mu of spiritual field, 30 mu of spiritual medicine Park, one large-scale red flame iron ore and one medium-sized refined iron ore."

"In these industries, the annual net income of Lingtian is around 1500 Lingshi. On average, the lingyao in the lingyao park can provide about 700 Lingshi a year. The annual net income of refined iron ore is around 500 Lingshi. The red flame iron vein has not been mined, so it is impossible to calculate the income for the time being."

"In addition, the family now has one place where the third-order spirit [di yuan spirit milk] is produced, one second-order top-grade spirit wood dragon scale tree, six second-order bottom-grade spirit fruit fiery jujube trees, three second-order bottom-grade spirit fruit Topaz pear trees, 32 first-order top-grade sand camel animals, 34 first-order top-grade spirit fruit white jade grapes, and 134 first-order middle-grade spirit animals Phoenix crested turkeys."

"Besides the treasure house, the family treasure house currently has four third-order lower level magic weapons, nineteen second-order upper level magic weapons, thirty-three second-order middle level magic weapons, fifty-seven second-order lower level magic weapons, 27 second-order upper level talismans, 49 second-order middle level talismans, 21 second-order lower level talismans, two second-order middle level arrays and five second-order lower level arrays."

"In addition, there are still many monster materials, refined iron and other materials in the treasure house. The value of these things is not easy to calculate. If only the material value is calculated, it should not exceed 5000 spirit stones."

"Finally, the biggest expenditure of the family at present is the sacrifice of family friars. According to the standards of family rules, friars in the later stage of foundation construction can receive 500 spirit stones from the family every year. Friars in the early stage of foundation construction are 300 spirit stones, and elders in the ninth floor of Qi practice are 150 spirit stones. These friars in our Zhou family now remove friars who do not meet the conditions for offering, Other monks spend about 2200 spirit stones a year. "

"The second largest expenditure is to pay tribute to the Huangsha gate. The family needs to pay tribute to the Huangsha gate every ten years. In the past, the total value of tribute materials and spiritual stones should not be less than 2000 spiritual stones. Now there are two more foundation builders in the family, and the contribution will be increased to 3000 spiritual stones at the next tribute."

"The third largest expenditure is the subsidy for family friars who learn the art of cultivating immortals. This expenditure belongs to special expenditure and is not included in the total annual expenditure."

"Finally, there are 2478 pieces of spirit stones in the family's current account, which is barely enough for the next year's family friars."

Holding a thick account book in his hand, Zhou xuanlin said the financial revenue and expenditure of the Zhou family one by one.

After hearing his report, Zhou Yang was actually relieved.

In terms of revenue and expenditure, the financial status of the Zhou family is still good. There is not a financial deficit, but there is still a lot of surplus every year.

This still does not calculate the income of shops in "yuquanlou" and "zuixianlou", and the red flame iron vein has not been mined.

The Chen family has made it clear that once the square city is rebuilt later, the shops owned by each family in the original square city will be returned in full, and preferential rent will be given.

The mining of red flame iron vein can also be started immediately.

Therefore, if it is actually calculated, the current financial operation of the Zhou family is still very good.

"Well, now everyone knows the family's personnel and financial situation. Let's talk about internal affairs."

Zhou Yang stood up from his seat and looked at the four elders participating in the meeting and the "Xuan" elders listening.

"The first thing is to open up the family branch of Baisha River Oasis. The ancestors of the Chen family have agreed that our Zhou family occupy a second-order spiritual vein in Baisha River Oasis, open up the family branch, and allow our Zhou family to migrate mortals to live in the past."

"In return, my Zhou family needs to send a friar in the foundation period to stay in Baisha River Oasis, listen to the dispatch of the Chen family, and send at least five friars with more than medium-term cultivation of Qi to join the Baisha River Oasis friar patrol."

"Secondly, since there are three base building friars in my Zhou family and the red flame iron vein can be officially exploited, my foundation building celebration will also be held on Haoyang cave oasis in the future."

"Finally, after discussion with my father and great grandfather, we decided to reform the current family rules and regulations of the Zhou family. The main aspects of the reform are as follows."
