Cultivating Immortals in the Family: Rising from Beast Familiarity

Chapter 146 Opening up sources of income and reducing expenditure, proposals for reform 【Subscription】

Pagoda Peak, inside Zhongping Hall.

Today, all the foundation-building monks of the Zhou family gathered in the Zhongping Hall, not to discuss any major matters that would affect the family's life and death.

But the importance of the matter discussed is obviously not inferior to that.

Especially after the Zhou family's financial problems were exposed, all the elders were shocked.

In the Zhou family in the past, although the elders also had the right to intervene in family affairs, they also had supervisory responsibilities.

But unless the patriarch actively invites the elders to participate when he is faced with some important decision and cannot easily make a decision, otherwise the elders will not inquire about family affairs.

This is to show trust in the patriarch, and secondly, I don't want to waste time on these things.

After all, the real role of these elders for the family lies in the powerful combat power they can provide and the skills of cultivating immortals they have mastered.

Therefore, the patriarch is in charge of the internal and external affairs of the family, responsible for governing the family, and the elders are responsible for concentrating on cultivation and providing guarantees for combat power. This is the operating mode of many cultivating families and even sects.

The Zhou family is no exception.

But if you don't usually ask, it doesn't mean that the elders are completely ignorant of family affairs and don't understand the harm of some things to the family.

After all, anyone who can become a family elder has not cultivated for tens of hundreds of years, and has experienced all kinds of things, big and small.

With only this experience, even a person without much talent can see the good and bad of some things and understand the seriousness of some things.

The so-called family has an elder, if there is a treasure, the same is true.

Therefore, when Zhou Chun spoke out about the impending financial crisis of the Zhou family, all the elders present immediately attached great importance to it.

It is true that, as Zhou Chun said, although the population crisis is equally serious, it takes a long time for the outbreak to take effect, and there are still ways to resolve it slowly.

But a disbursement crisis is something else entirely.

The outbreak of the fiscal payment crisis will bear fruit very quickly.

If you really wait until the crisis is detonated before you think of a solution, it will be too late!

So at this time, any population issues are temporarily left behind by the elders. They only care about one thing.

How to solve or delay the financial payment crisis that may erupt!
At this time, facing the expectation of the patriarch Zhou Daoyi and the elders of the family, Zhou Chun also talked eloquently: "To solve the financial crisis that the family is currently encountering, there are no other than two methods, increasing income and reducing expenditure!"

"The family's current money-making channels and methods are still too few, which severely limits the family's income. Therefore, we must find ways to expand new money-making channels and improve the profit-making efficiency of existing money-making channels!"

"Throttling is naturally to control and suspend some temporarily unnecessary expenses, so as to achieve the effect of reducing expenses."

Speaking of this, Zhou Chun also said without hesitation: "In fact, the younger generation has analyzed and studied the family's income and expenditure records for the past ten years, and found that if it weren't for the big sales of the Chiyao iron mine and the touch of despair for the family With a lot of income, the financial crisis of the family may have started two years earlier!"

Although he is boasting, what he said is the truth.

The patriarch Zhou Daoyi also nodded sincerely and said: "Yes, if it weren't for the Chiyao iron vein you discovered at the beginning, and for helping the family to develop the touch of despair poison to stabilize the source of spirit beast customers, the family is now on the account Indeed, there is hardly even a single spirit coin left!"

The other family elders naturally knew that these were Zhou Chun's achievements, and they looked at him with appreciation and gratitude at this time.

But Zhou Chun shook his head at this time and said: "But now the output of the Chiyao iron vein is close to exhaustion, and the value of large-scale mining is about to be completely lost, and the price of raw materials for the Touch of Despair has also risen a lot, and it is difficult to give this item to the family. How much effective income will it bring.”

"Then what should we do? Zhengchun, you said just now that you want to open source, do you have any better ideas?"

The Fourth Elder Zhou Jiarui looked at Zhou Chun expectantly and asked, hoping that he, an amazing junior of the family, could make contributions to the family and continue his life.

Several other people also looked at Zhou Chun one after another, their eyes full of expectation.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun immediately nodded and said, "Let's talk about the family's way of making money now."

"At present, the way the family makes money is generally divided into three major areas, shops in the square market, training rent for casual cultivators, and trade with other forces."

"Fangshi stores, although they seem to be stable at the moment, but in the case of strong competitors, it is very good to be able to maintain the existing income. If we want to see any high growth, unless we can launch an effective, Great new product!"

"The cultivation rent for casual practitioners is very promising. Our Zhou family has a very good reputation now and has attracted many casual practitioners to settle down around Jiufengling. If there are three to five hundred casual practitioners who will use our Zhou family as a place to practice, That’s a huge annual rental income alone!”

"Therefore, the younger generation suggested that the Zhou family could set aside a sum of money to form a security team to protect the safety of the casual cultivators who settled around Jiufengling, and severely crack down on the behavior of robbing and killing others in the surrounding area, so as to attract the casual cultivators to settle down! "

"Of course, the consequences of doing this are also obvious. It will attract some bandit cultivators' deliberate targeting, and it may also be plotted against by forces who are jealous of our Zhou family. Whether it should be done or not depends on the opinions of the elders."

"The last thing is the income from trade with other forces, this one is also promising!"

When Zhou Chun said this, he couldn't help looking at the third elder Zhou Daoquan.

"The trade income of the Zhou family and other forces used to be just large quantities of family specialty medicines and monster rations."

"But in fact, those monsters raised by our Zhou family can also become bestsellers!"

"I roughly calculated that based on the current growth rate of the family's monk population, many monsters raised by the family will reproduce faster than the family's population growth rate."

"Like the emerald-crowned flying snake, the octagonal water deer, the rock armored python, the red flame wolf and other high-quality monster populations, as long as they provide enough food, their reproduction speed will be faster than ordinary monsters."

"If the beast garden can supply even ten cubs of various low-level monster beasts to outsiders for contracts every year, it can generate thousands of spiritual coins for the family!"

After he finished speaking, the other elders also looked at the third elder Zhou Daoquan.

He has always been in charge of the animal garden of the Zhou family, and he is also doing all the training tasks.

He knows better than anyone whether he can increase the output of monster cubs in the beast garden.

Facing everyone's attention, Zhou Daoquan pondered for a while, and then said: "Let's forget about the octagonal water deer, the population of this species is not enough for the family at present, and it is not suitable for sale until the population exceeds [-]! "

"As for the other monster cubs, it is true that some of them can be released to sell for profit. Ten cubs a year should not be a big problem!"

Zhou Chun heard the words, and immediately said: "Then this is not bad, it can be regarded as opening up a new channel."

At this moment, the Fourth Elder Zhou Jiarui's expression changed suddenly, and he said, "Speaking of which, how is the Scarlet Flame King Kong Monkey doing now? Seven or eight years have passed, so it should have become a first-rank high-grade monster, right?"

"The Scarlet Flame King Kong Monkey has indeed become a top-rank monster beast last year, but this beast is not yet fully mature, and has not yet mated with a female red-tailed monkey!"

Zhou Daoquan said this, and continued: "But it should be soon, three years later, one year sooner, it should challenge King Kong Monkey's status as Monkey King!"

Hearing his words, Zhou Jiarui also sighed softly: "Hey, I hope it can pass on the bloodline and let my Zhou family really have another powerful beast!"

At the beginning, Zhou Daoquan said two routes for cultivating the population of red flame king vajra monkeys.

Now that several years have passed, the vajra monkeys have not been able to breed new red flame vajra monkeys with the red-tailed monkeys, nor have they been able to give birth to new vajra monkeys.

In order to truly realize the population of the Red Flame King Kong Monkey, the only hope falls on that Red Flame King Kong Monkey.

At this time, Zhou Chun continued: "As far as open source is concerned, that's all the open source methods that can be realized at present."

"Let me talk about throttling later!"

"Reducing expenditure is actually more difficult than increasing income, because the family has already saved as much as they can before, and they are saving expenses in all aspects!"

"There are only two ways to save money that I can think of. One is to change the family task rewards in the future, and turn the original pure meritorious deeds rewards into some charitable deeds and treasures accumulated in the treasury, and clean up some useless inventory."

"The second is to encourage the clansmen to accumulate good deeds and use them to exchange for foundation-building spiritual objects in the future!"

Restricting expenditure is by no means reducing the benefits of the tribe!
Zhou Chun is very clear about this.

The unity of the family, in addition to the blood relationship, is that the family monks are obviously much better than the casual monks.

Such things as cutting the welfare benefits of the tribe are not to the point of being a last resort, and they must not be used!

But even so, after listening to his advice on throttling, Second Elder Zhou Chongshan still said: "I'm afraid we should be cautious about exchanging foundation-building spiritual objects!"

"The exchange of the Ascension Spirit Fruit caused a lot of disturbances in the family before. If this is used to lure the clansmen to accumulate good deeds, it can certainly slow down the redemption crisis. How can we honor him for his good deeds?"

It is not easy to obtain foundation building spirits!

Any kind of foundation-building spirit, even the spirit of Ascension Fruit, is something that can only be obtained by luck.

So Zhou Chongshan's statement is not without purpose.

But since Zhou Chun made this suggestion, he must have taken this into consideration.

Immediately said: "So we have to modify a family rule. When a family monk has accumulated [-] family good deeds through welfare offerings and mission rewards, he can become the family's foundation seed and enjoy priority exchange. Foundation-building spirit rights!"

"You can even count the meritorious deeds inherited from your deceased father's generation, so as to enhance the loyalty and sense of belonging of the family monks to the family!"

"In this way, if there is still someone who can borrow six or seven thousand families' good deeds, it means that he must be a person who is widely trusted and admired by the people of the clan. Then, shouldn't it be reasonable for us to do our best to support him in building a foundation?"

After hearing his words, Zhou Chongshan also fell silent, lost in thought.

After going like this for a while, before Zhou Chongshan could speak, the patriarch Zhou Daoyi clapped his hands and shouted: "Wonderful, this plan is very clever, and it makes sense."

"But if you want to modify the family rules, you have to agree with the elders!"

As soon as the patriarch expressed his support, Zhou Chongshan frowned, but finally did not raise any objections.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun also followed the trend and said: "Of course, all the things discussed here today should be reviewed by the Supreme Elder in the end, and then implemented after his consent!"

"So Zhengchun, do you have anything else to say?"

Zhou Daoyi looked at Zhou Chun and asked, his face full of encouragement.

He knew Zhou Chun very well, and he knew that Zhou Chun's big battle today should not only talk about these difficulties and troubles, as well as solutions to them, there must be other things to do.

Judging from Zhou Chun's previous performance, today's Zhou Chun is clearly well prepared.

So he also looked forward to Zhou Chun's follow-up performance in his heart.

Faced with his help, Zhou Chun was also very grateful in his heart, and immediately said: "Patriarch Mingjian, the younger generation wants to take this opportunity to give some opinions on the family's internal reform!"

Hearing him mention the word "reform" again, Second Elder Zhou Chongshan twitched his eyebrows again, fixed his eyes on him and said, "Oh, what do you want to reform? It can't be those things from last time!"

Zhou Chun also seemed to have guessed that Zhou Chongshan would say this, and immediately smiled: "Second Elder, don't worry, the younger generation's reforms this time are not so big!"

"Really? The old man is all ears."

A strange look flashed in Zhou Chongshan's eyes, and he replied lightly.

At this time, Zhou Chun clasped his fists in both hands, bowed to the high-level members of the Zhou family in the hall, and said, "The elders have learned that the juniors have always believed that the original internal management structure of the family was not efficient enough, and that some things were delayed and a lot of things were wasted for no reason. Human and material resources."

"Furthermore, after surveying and visiting a large number of clan members by the younger generation, it was also found that some clan members want to do something for the family and are capable of doing something for the family, but they have been suffering from the lack of opportunity to do things in their proper positions!"

"That's why the younger generation wants to improve all aspects of the family, so that this part of the family can give full play to their talents in the positions they like and are good at!"

Speaking of this, he didn't wait for the elders to ask him how he wanted to reform, and he took the initiative to express his plan.

"The younger generation is going to take back the power of the peak masters of each peak, and set up five halls within the family, the Hall of Internal Affairs, the Hall of Foreign Affairs, the Hall of Hundred Beasts, the Hall of Hundred Arts, and the Hall of Hundred Medicines. They are responsible for the operation of the family's affairs. There is one deacon, several staff members, and the staff will be replaced at regular intervals!"

"At the same time, three deacons will be set up separately, in charge of finance, supervision, and punishment, and they will be directly under the jurisdiction of the patriarch."

"All deacons are responsible to the patriarch!"

　Do you have any good suggestions for reforming various institutions within the family?Book friends are welcome to give some open and constructive opinions, of course, there is no need to mention things that are too modern!I have always been opposed to the teaching of advanced thinking in the world of cultivating immortals, it is too contrary to harmony!
