Cultivating Immortals in the Family: Rising from Beast Familiarity

Chapter 308 The Powerful Zhou Family 【Subscription】

Since Zhou Chun took over as the head of the Zhou family and took charge of the family power, the number of elders' meetings has increased significantly.

This is certainly related to the many things that happened after he succeeded the patriarch, but the real biggest reason is that he himself prefers this kind of meeting.

Zhou Daoyi was considered a very enlightened patriarch, but when he was the patriarch, this kind of elders meeting would not be held unless it could be held.

Because in the hearts of the monks in this world, the authority of the patriarch and the head of the family cannot be questioned. To hold a meeting of elders and let the elders intervene in the management of the family is to weaken and question their authority.

Therefore, except for some major events involving the life and death of the family and sect, most of the time, the heads and patriarchs of those sect and family forces will not hold an elders meeting to let the elders of the sect and family disperse their power.

But Zhou Chun is different, he is not afraid that the power of his patriarch will be divided by anyone, because he is confident that no one in the Zhou family is more suitable for the position of patriarch than himself.

If one day a super capable person really appeared in the Zhou family, he would also be very happy to abdicate like Zhou Daoyi before him.

Moreover, there are pros and cons to everything. While the elders' meeting distributes the patriarch's power, it also distributes the responsibilities.

The matters decided by the elders meeting represent the endorsement of all the high-level members of the family. Even if there are any major adverse effects in the future, everyone is responsible together.

"The younger generation thinks that in order to reverse this unhealthy trend, the first thing is to let these clansmen realize how much harm this violation of clan rules will bring to themselves and the family; the second is to let them know that the Zhou family is now Although the power is not weak, it is far from enough to become their capital to run rampant outside, and their ability does not have the capital to be unrestrained in the world of cultivating immortals at all!"

In the lower part of the hall, a young junior of the Zhou family was standing there holding a book in his hand, and slowly reported the situation of the Zhou family members in a slightly nervous tone.

And everyone is responsible together, which means that no one is responsible!
This is also very important!
At this time, since it was decided to hold a meeting of the family elders, Zhou Chun first sent a notice to all the elders and the Supreme Elder, and then ordered the subordinates and the clerks to sort out the materials to be used in the meeting.

His impression of the number of people in the Zhou family was still in the period when there were less than 200 people.

"Now is the time to pay attention to this matter. We must reverse this unhealthy trend, wear off the arrogance of those clansmen, and prevent such things from happening again!"

But out of trust in the patriarch Zhou Chun, and because they didn't want to waste too much time on searching for information, they wouldn't really do it.

Zhou Mingde couldn't help but nodded, expressing his agreement with Zhou Chun's thoughts.

This means that he can hardly obtain any income from outside the family, and is the highest among all the elders in terms of dependence on the family.

But whether this matter can be done, whether it can be done well, and whether it can achieve the effect Zhou Chun said is something that no one can say for sure.

Zhou Chun also understood this very well, and did not have much objection.

It was the Fourth Elder Zhou Jiarui who said these words.

Sometimes, helping relatives or not helping others is also a necessary means to maintain people's hearts.

Even though they are elders, they all have the right to check various information at any time, and keep abreast of various personnel changes and financial changes in the family.

Then, just like what Zhou Chun said, nearly ten senior members of the Zhou family began to discuss ways to rectify the family tradition around the ideas provided by Zhou Chun.

Whether it is due to war or accidental death, or a married female cultivator, or a person sent to a sect, these can reduce the population burden of a cultivating family.

At this time, after everyone arrived, Zhou Chun immediately looked at the crowd and cupped his hands and said: "Everyone, elders, elders, the reason why I called you here to discuss this matter is because of a recent incident that deeply touched me. Worry and uneasiness, I would like to hear your opinions and suggestions.”

Half a month later, when the elders meeting presided over by Zhou Chun was held behind closed doors in the Zhongping Hall, except for a few people who were unable to come here due to important business, including the two Supreme Elders and the four family elders, they all attended the meeting. meeting of elders.

After speaking, he told what Zhou Zhengxin and Zhou Xinli did, and at the same time explained his punishment for them and his worries afterwards.

"What is the current financial situation of the family? Judging from Zheng Chunyou's tone just now, the family income should be very good now!"

"The family has developed too fast these years, and the younger generations in the family have only enjoyed the benefits of the rapid development of the family, but they have no experience of the family's previous difficult and difficult life. I don't know how difficult it is for them to live like this now!"

At this time, after hearing his speech, Zhou Daoyi suddenly looked at Zhou Chun and asked, "Then Zhengchun, do you have any thoughts?"

After such a discussion, everyone reached a consensus.

Zhou Zhengyuan muttered in a dazed manner, as if he had solved some doubts.

Therefore, participating in the elders' meeting every time is the most convenient way for them to understand the changes in the family.

But to reduce the monk population, there are many ways.

"In addition to the Supreme Elder, the patriarch, and all the elders, including the monks, the Zhou family currently has 33 core clan members, 80 elite clan members, and 160 ordinary clan members."

As the old man of the Zhou family, he was also the designated acting patriarch when Zhou Chun was away from home. He had the deepest understanding and participation in family affairs among all the elders.

Therefore, he did not want the family's financial problems to affect his practice.

Zhou Daoyi also couldn't help but said with emotion: "It is for this reason that it is a matter of luck in the world of cultivating immortals to produce children with spiritual root aptitude, but there are too many ways to control the growth of monks and reduce the number of monks. !"

"In addition, the family is now prosperous and prosperous, and more female cultivators from small and large families are willing to form Taoist companions with family monks, which makes the number of family monks grow faster."

After listening to his report at this time, Zhou Zhengyuan, who had always been immersed in alchemy, couldn't help exclaiming: "Does the family already have so many monks?"

So if you really want to kill their arrogance, you can only find those Jindan families, or the immortal cultivators who are only a little weaker than the Zhou family to participate.

In the past elders meetings, every elder who participated in the meeting would feel very heavy, because it must be that the family has encountered some major issues that cannot be resolved.

"In the case of the latter, it is best to organize some martial arts competitions with other forces, so that they can experience the strength of the elites of other forces, so as to erase their arrogance!"

With the consent of the two Supreme Elders, the modification of the punishment of the family rules and the formulation of new family rules were all allowed.

Hearing this, Zhou Chun couldn't help but smiled and said, "Don't worry about this, Sixth Brother. Although the consumption of the family is not low, the income is not small. It is not a big problem to maintain the current consumption."

But now, before attending the meeting, they all have an expectation in their hearts.

This matter has also spread to the Zhou family recently, but the high-level monks at the elder level don't know much about it.

Because the golden core battle that happened outside the family's mountain gate before, it was because of him that the family attracted strong enemies.

After all, the Zhou family is indeed the only one among the cultivating families in Lanzhou. The young monks of the Zhou family are indeed stronger than the monks of the same age in other families, otherwise they would not breed arrogance.

Usually he has more contact with the young people in the family, so he has a better understanding of the thinking and style of these young monks.

Zhou Mingde nodded again and again, and his words were full of joy at the large increase in the number of monks in the Zhou family.

After all, these elders usually pay attention to practice. If someone hadn't deliberately told them, they would generally not be so concerned about the internal punishment of these families.

After hearing Zhou Chun's words at this time, many people showed surprise expressions.

In view of this, he certainly does not want similar things to happen in the family.

"Currently, there are 280 immortal cultivators in my Zhou family, including 210 monks from the Zhou family, 71 monks from relatives, 180 male monks, and [-] female monks."

"The elder Taishang Mingjian, this junior does have some ideas."

Zhou Mingde said in a deep voice with a serious face, first expressing his own opinion.

"Today is not the same as in the past. Although our Zhou family is more powerful now, it is also more aggressive. I don't know how many people secretly envy our Zhou family."

Unexpectedly, it has only been more than ten years, and the family has undergone such great changes.

"Zhengyuan is quite right about this point. There is a future for people. Our Zhou family doesn't have to worry about increasing the number of monks too much now. I'm afraid there are not enough people!"

"Before, this incident happened because I spent all my energy on other aspects and ignored the education issues in this aspect."

Zhou Zhengyuan looked at Zhou Chun with piercing eyes, and asked in a rather expectant tone.

Speaking of which, he bowed his hands to the two Supreme Elders and said: "Of course, these are just some personal thoughts of this junior, and it is just a preliminary intention. What should we do? We also need to invite the two Supreme Elders and all the elders Let’s see the details together.”

In this way, after discussing the matter of completing the family tradition, Zhou Chun opened the door of the palace, let the clerks waiting outside bring in the information and reports, and began to report the current situation of the Zhou family's personnel and supplies.

As for the joint competition with other forces, although it has also been agreed by the high-level officials.

"If we are not careful and find opportunities for others to make trouble, we will definitely bring unnecessary trouble and loss to the family!"

But those families may not be willing to participate in such activities organized by the Zhou family, and may not be willing to be a sharpening stone for the Zhou family.

Hearing his words, Zhou Zhengyuan immediately followed suit with a smile and said, "Then I'm relieved, no matter what, the increase in the number of family members is a good thing, and there is a future for someone!"

"Well, Zhengchun's idea of ​​yours is not bad, but when it is actually implemented, you have to grasp the speed."

In order to resolve this matter, the Zhou family undoubtedly paid a considerable price.

"The former may revise and change the family rules, increase the punishment for such incidents, and formulate new family rules, clearly telling them that the family will not provide any protection for their behavior of actively seeking wealth and killing their lives, and let them not I hope that after committing evil deeds abroad and hiding inside the family, everything will be fine!"

"Thanks to the special childbirth subsidy policy implemented by the family, the younger generations in the family have been more active in childbearing these years. In addition, the family's ordinary population has also increased a lot every year, providing the family with more children with spiritual roots. Therefore The number of families is indeed growing faster.”

Even though he usually ignores foreign affairs, he also knows that whether he can live well depends on the family's financial situation.

The growth of the monk population can only rely on survival.

After all, since he succeeded in building the foundation, he has not really fought with monks of the same level, nor has he gone out to take risks.

In fact, this is what he feels the most deeply.

This time is no exception.

"Among these clansmen, there are 46 monks in the late stage of Qi refining, 97 monks in the middle stage of Qi refining, and 99 monks in the early stage of Qi refining. There are also 33 clansmen who have not entered Taoism because of their young age."

Zhou Chun nodded, even talking about his own thoughts.

However, the new family rules are not as impersonal as Zhou Chun said. For those clansmen who make mistakes outside, the clan will punish them internally, and will still give them shelter to a certain extent, provided that they The mistakes made can be covered by the family.

"What the elder Taishang said is very true. Our Zhou family can not be afraid of trouble, but we can't take the initiative to cause trouble."

"Zhengchun, what you said really needs to be taken seriously."

"It's no wonder that in recent years, the family's demand for elixir has increased a lot for those cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage. It turns out that the family's monks have grown to this level!"

"The Supreme Elder, the patriarch, and all the elders, follow the instructions of the patriarch, and now this junior will report the statistics and verification of the Zhou family members to you."

So for the Zhou family, when it came time to control the growth rate of the family's monk population, it was easy to control it, and there was no need to think about it now.

Then his complexion changed slightly, and he couldn't help but look at Zhou Chun and asked, "However, with so many family monks, people eat horse chews, and the consumption must be very high. Can the family finances support this increasing consumption?"

From the surprise at the beginning to the adaptation and expectation now, all the elders of the Zhou family have experienced it first-hand.

Report-style meeting, this is a change that Zhou Chun brought to the Zhou family.

Zhou Chun gave the answer with a smile on his face. This is his political achievement, and he was naturally very relieved and happy when he said it.

"Yes, the family income is very good now, and it is expected to be even better in the future!"

Zhou Chun nodded with a smile on his face, and his tone was quite complacent.

This is also his achievement. It is his various hard work after becoming the patriarch that made the Zhou family change from a financial deficit to a well-fed one.

He didn't keep it up right now, and immediately asked the junior of the Zhou family to report on the Zhou family's financial situation.
