Chapter 382

Thanks to various birth incentives, the growth rate of the friar population of the Zhou family has not been slow, but the number of friars before the Zhou family is too small, which makes it appear that the population is seriously mismatched with the territory occupied by the family.

In fact, by comparing the data, we can clearly see the population growth rate of the Zhou family.

When Zhou Yanggang took over as the head of the Zhou family a hundred years ago, the number of monks of the Zhou family was less than 30. The number of monks of the "Xuan" generation and the "Yuan" generation, as the main force of the population, added up to more than 20.

Over the past 100 years, the number of friars in the Zhou family has increased tenfold. As the main force of the population, the number of friars of "Guang" generation and "Tong" generation has reached more than 100.

Yuhua Mingguang, Xuanyuan Guangtong, Fukuzawa Rongsheng, eternal youth, these 16 generations of friars of the Zhou family are self-supporting by Zhou Yuquan, the first generation patriarch who founded the Zhou family. According to the rules, when the oldest friar of the previous generation reaches the age of 60, he begins to use the latter generation for the descendants of friars who are not of the previous generation.

For example, Zhou Xuanhao is the boss of the "Xuan" generation of the Zhou family. After he turns 60, those friars who are not the direct descendants of the "Guang" generation are the "Yuan" generation, not the "Xuan" generation like him.

However, when it came to the "Tong" generation, the situation changed slightly. That is, when the first "Guang" generation friar was not over 60, there were young "Guang" generation friars who responded to the Zhou family's policy of promoting fertility and gave birth to spiritual descendants.

It is inevitable that the generations of these "Guang" generation friars will automatically become "Tong" generation friars, but at the same time, for other direct descendants of non "Guang" generation friars, they still follow the family rules and continue to use the name of "Guang" generation.

So there was an interesting situation. Many adult friars of the "Tong" generation had to call a baby uncle who couldn't even walk.

This is also a common problem in large families.

Of course, this little problem is not much in the way. Although the Xiuxian family like the Zhou family also emphasizes the order of growth and childhood, it is not allowed to violate human relations.

However, they also follow the principle of respecting the strong in the immortal world, and will not let the friars in the Qi training period yell at the friars in the foundation building period by virtue of their seniority.

Without mentioning these minor defects, one thing that really satisfied Zhou Yang was the large increase in the number of relatives and friars of the Zhou family.

The large increase in the number of relatives shows that the men of the Zhou family have become a hot pastry and golden turtle son-in-law in the eyes of those small family nuns and scattered nuns, so that they will be willing to give up their freedom to join the Zhou family and serve the Zhou family.

These relatives joined the Zhou family, which not only effectively filled the vacancy of the insufficient number of friars in the Zhou family, but also played a very positive role in increasing the population of friars in the Zhou family.

After all, the offspring born by the combination of immortals and immortals are many times more likely to have spiritual roots than mortal offspring.

"Yes, yes, population is the foundation of a family. Only with a large enough population base can we ensure that excellent talents appear in the family from generation to generation and that the family inheritance can be carried on smoothly."

Zhou Yang's eyes were full of color, and his face was full of joy and joy.

He looked at the people in the hall with bright eyes and said with emotion: "when I took over the position of patriarch, there were only 26 monks in my Zhou family. The whole family was supported by more than a dozen elders, and even the family inheritance was facing the worry of breaking off!"

"Over the past hundred years, the territory of our Zhou family has increased more than ten times over that of a hundred years ago, and the number of monks is the same. This is the credit of everyone present today, and it is the credit of countless ancestors who sacrificed their lives for the prosperity of our Zhou family!"

"The Zhou family can have today, thanks to me, to your deceased ancestors, and to everyone present!"

His words were all from the bottom of his heart.

Most of the growth of the Zhou family's territory is due to him, but with the growth of the population, he has not paid any strength for it except formulating the incentive fertility policy.

The people who really perform and work for them are the people present today and those who have died. This credit belongs to these people.

If these people did not respond to his fertility policy and wantonly took concubines to have children, I don't know how long it would take for the friars of the Zhou family to reach the current number.

"Elder Taishang, you are too modest. We may have made a contribution to the Zhou family, but the Zhou family can have today's status mainly because of your contribution from elder Taishang. Without you, there would be no Zhou family today. Every Zhou family will remember your contribution and achievements to our Zhou family and never forget them in this life!"

As the patriarch, Zhou Guangxiang was able to attend the vice seat under Zhou Yang. As the most loyal admirer and successor of Zhou Yang, Zhou Guangxiang has always admired and admired Zhou Yang, the elder who brought the Zhou family into power. At this time, he couldn't help but speak out and expressed his respect and gratitude to the elder with warm and passionate words.

"The patriarch is right. We can have today's accomplishments and status, and our Zhou family can have today's glory. You are the supreme elder. Everyone in our Zhou family, from the foundation building friars to ordinary mortal children, is thinking of your kindness and thanking you for your reinvention of the Zhou family!"

Zhou Guangqing, the new monk of the Zhou family, also looked at Zhou Yang with respect and gratitude and spoke loudly to Zhou Guangxiang.

His gratitude to Zhou Yang also comes from his heart.

If there was no Zhuji pill left by Zhou Yang for the Zhou family, it would be very difficult for a middle-class Linggen friar like him to take it!

As the first group of beneficiaries after Zhou Yang formulated the contribution point to exchange the zhujidan family rule, he deeply felt the benefits of this family rule and was also a firm supporter of this family rule. Naturally, he was grateful to Zhou Yang for doing all this.

While responding to Zhou Guangxiang's words, he bent down and bowed heavily to Zhou Yang and said, "elder Taishang's kindness to the Zhou family, I don't think we can repay it. Only I wish Taishang a smooth long way and eternal happiness!"

"I wish you a smooth journey and eternal happiness!"

The people of the Zhou family in the hall, except Zhou Xuanhao and the patriarch Zhou Guangxiang, all followed Zhou Guangqing, bent over and bowed to Zhou Yang to pay homage. In this way, they thanked Zhou Yang for his kindness to the Zhou family and them.

Most of them are not fools. They all know the importance of Zhou Yang to the Zhou family.

Usually they may argue for some interests, but they all have the same goal in pleasing Zhou Yang.

Zhou Yang has been away from home for 17 years. In fact, it has caused a great storm within the Zhou family. Many Zhou family friars are worried that he will fall out and make the newly prosperous Zhou family decline again.

Even if he didn't fall out, in the hearts of many Zhou friars, they were worried that he would be fascinated by the prosperity of Liuyun island's immortal world, and would not return to the barren and backward boundless sand sea immortal world to take care of their descendants.

When Zhou Yang came back this time, the people of the Zhou family from bottom to top were relieved and had a feeling of finding the backbone.

Therefore, after hearing Zhou Yang's words at today's meeting, people with flexible minds such as Zhou Guangxiang and Zhou Guangqing were keenly aware of the opportunity and spoke with gratitude, hoping to awaken and deepen Zhou Yang's feelings for the family and avoid making the decision to abandon them.

Smart as Zhou Yang, of course, he can't fail to see Zhou Guangxiang's careful thinking, but he can also feel that these ethnic groups are really grateful and grateful to him from the heart, not in the surface form.

That's enough, for him, that's enough!

This at least makes him feel that his efforts over the years are not in vain. Otherwise, if he raises a group of white eyed wolves who don't know how to repay their kindness, he will doubt whether there is a problem with his vision and ability.

In that case, he might be so angry that he would walk away and never mind the family business again!

He looked at his happy and satisfied father Zhou Xuanhao. The father and son looked at each other and smiled. Then they waved their hands with a smile and said, "everyone get up. As a member of the Zhou family, they all contribute to the family. Why say these polite words."

After that, he nodded slightly and said to the financial elder Zhou Guangyun: "Guangyun, tell me about the family's financial situation. I want to know how much the family's annual financial input and expenditure, as well as your Caitang's financial suggestions."

Zhou Guangyun has been a financial elder for more than 20 years. No one knows the financial situation of the Zhou family better than her. When she heard Zhou Yang name herself, she quickly stood up and said:

"If I go back to the supreme elder, the financial situation of my Zhou family is very good. After years of development, the Lingshan mountains and mines obtained by my family after moving to chihushan oasis have entered a comprehensive feedback period."

"There are also family workshops that have become more and more popular in recent years. Thanks to the industrial chain processing plan formulated by the patriarch earlier, nearly seven Chengdu can be processed into finished products by the friars of the family Baiyi hall and sold in the workshops."

"At the same time, adhering to your concept of small profits and quick turnover, all kinds of low-level magic tools, pills and talismans produced by our family have occupied almost 80% of the market in the square city, attracting countless casual monks and small family friars to purchase!"

"According to the statistics of Caitang, by the end of this year, after removing labor costs, transportation costs and other expenses, the total income of various industries in our Zhou family has reached 58000 inferior Lingshi."

"As for the expenditure, the family's annual expenditure on Lingshi is about 15000 lower grade Lingshi. The main expenditure is the payment of birth subsidies and the purchase of various Lingwu raw materials. In addition, the annual expenditure on the family contribution point of the family has reached more than 23000 points every year, and it is still increasing year by year."

"As for our suggestion of Caitang..."
