Immortal Path Evergreen

Chapter 454: Inventory 1

"Now our family has established four counties: Lushan, Sheling, Huayang, and Heishan. Lushan County has the largest population, with a population of 190,000 among the 18 towns and counties. Sheling County has a population of 80,000 among the 13 towns. The nine towns and villages in Huayang County have a population of 60,000. After decades of development, the population of Heishan County has also increased to 40,000.

In addition, there is a stronghold in the Lingshi Mine of Chaoyin Mountain, with a population of 20,000. Several towns have been established near the ancestral land of Tiantai Peak, with a total population of 34,000. Some settlements have also been opened near Heifang in the west of Heimang Mountain, with a total population of 13,000. The total population under our control has reached 460,000, and our Zhang family has exceeded 300,000. In terms of population base, we have basically caught up with the Liu family in Taibai Mountain.

The population base has increased, and the number of new monks every year has also increased rapidly. There are 368 monks registered in the genealogy, in addition to 107 guest ministers in the Qi training period, and one elder guest minister in the foundation building period. It is estimated that in another thirty years, the number of monks registered in the family tree will exceed the five hundred mark. "

In just over a hundred years, the family has developed to this point, and Zhang Zhixuan also has mixed feelings in his heart.

The older foundation-building monks like Sihong also experienced a short period of hard times. In the years when Zhang Zhixuan had just established the foundation, they had just embarked on the path of cultivation. At that time, the Zhang family did not have many resources.

The conditions of the Zhang family improved rapidly, probably after Qingchan established the foundation. Since then, the three other foundation builders outside the Zhang family have completely stabilized the family's decline.

"What we have today in our family is all thanks to the three ancestors. If it weren't for the strong support of the three ancestors, where would we be today?" After listening to Sijin's introduction, Sihong was filled with emotion.

After hearing Sihong's emotion, Zhang Zhi immediately shook his head and said humbly: "It can't be said that the family is what it is today not only because of our support, but also because of your own progress. More importantly, it is the sacrifices of the elders of the past generations. Without their efforts, our family would not have a stable environment. Qingchan and I may not have the opportunity to practice. After passing through the weakest stage of the monks' initial period, Aunt Hanyan may not successfully break through to the realm of foundation building. ”

Zhang Zhixuan's words were very heavy, making the thoughts of the three ancestors of the Zi Mansion go back to a hundred years ago. Without the contributions of the ninth uncle, fourth uncle, and fifteenth uncle, they might not be where they are today?

It is a pity that the monks of the Meng generation are a tragic generation after all. This generation of monks was born in the darkest decades of the family. In order to maintain the continuation of the family, they can only give up their own path and fight for the interests of the family. Regardless of their level of cultivation, most of them died outside in battle. By the time the Zhang family returned to its former glory, most of this generation had closed their eyes. Only a handful of lucky ones could die on their beds and see this day with their own eyes.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit heavy, Sijin immediately changed the topic and continued to introduce the family situation.

"The family's income has been increasing in recent years. Based on Jiuhua Mountain's spiritual veins, the annual net profit is about six hundred spiritual stones. After Guangliang goes to Jiuhua Mountain to reorganize, it is estimated that it will increase a little.

Great changes have taken place on Tiantai Peak. The scale of golden silkworms has tripled compared to the original. Large mulberry gardens have also been planted on the mountain. These spiritual mulberry trees can also produce some special products. Coupled with the income from spiritual bamboo, Xuanyou is planted in Hantan in the back mountain. Grass, the annual output of this spiritual vein is more than that of Jiuhua Mountain, about a thousand.

Lingjing Mountain is the bulk of the family's income. The annual income from more than 300 acres of spiritual fields is 3,000 yuan. In addition, the elixirs grown in the elixir garden have reached the peak of maturity. Income is estimated at four thousand per year.

Although the grade of Wan She Cave is a little lower, the income from Xuanyou grass and breeding three-color spiritual fish is not a small amount every year, it should be more than 500.

In addition, there are twelve shops in Xihefang. The popularity of Xihefang has always been very stable, especially after the three ancestors opened Zifu. Taicheng County, as the hometown of the ancestors, has also attracted some casual cultivators from the four northern counties in recent years. settle down. As the number of monks increased, trading became more active than before, and profits were a little higher than they had been a century ago. This city has brought us more than a thousand dollars in income every year.

The income from the Chaoyin Mountain Lingshi Mine is basically fixed, about 600 Lingshi per year. This place requires us to invest in a foundation building, ten Qi training garrison, and tens of thousands of mortals to mine. In fact, there is not much benefit. Uncle Fourteen, can you discuss with the sect to reduce some of the resources we invest. "

Today, there are only five foundations in the Chaoyin Mountain Lingshi Mine, and a hundred Qi-training monks are stationed there. Three of the foundations are built by the Zhang, Wu, and Liu families. The Zhang and Liu families have the smallest shares and their responsibilities are almost the same as those of the Wu family. They are not much different from the Qingxuan Sect. In recent years, the monks stationed at the two families have complained.

Zhang Zhixuan's face suddenly became serious, and he immediately objected: "Settling big accounts instead of small ones. Without Qingxuan Sect's protection, our family cannot stand firm in the Southern Wilderness. In recent years, the sect has expanded too fast, and the monks Even if the spiritual veins are not enough, let’s help the sect to share a little more. Don’t say this again.”

"The business in Yuntai Shanfang City is very good. We already have ten stores in Yuntai Mountain. From this market, we earn two thousand spiritual stones in profit every year.

Although we have more shares in Taihong Mountain Market, it is a pity that the area around Taihong Mountain has been turned into a wasteland. The number of cultivators in Hongshan County is far less than that in Jiangkou County, and the income of 20 shops is only a little over 1,000 now. "Sihong sat in Taihong Mountain and told everyone about the situation in the four northern counties.

Sihong's words were somewhat unexpected. Even Zhang Zhixuan asked curiously: "The current income of Taihong Mountain Market is not as good as Xihefang. It is so miserable?"

Sihong nodded and said: "Taihong Mountain is not far from Yuntai Mountain. Yuntai Mountain Market has developed very well and attracted many customers from Hongshan County and Luyang County. It will take many years for this market to develop."

"The situation in Guiyuan Mountain is better than before, but the number of cultivators is still insufficient. The annual income of five shops is only 500. Except for the expenses of the garrisoned cultivators, there is basically no profit."

After listening to everyone's reports, Zhang Zhixuan's eyes lit up and said: "In this way, not counting Heishan, the family's annual gross income has exceeded 10,000. I remember that when I was just building my foundation, my family's income was only a little over a thousand spirit stones. If it weren't for the unexpected wealth from Baiyu Peak, I'm afraid life would be even more difficult. Under normal circumstances, even the annual salary of the cultivators in the family could not be paid. Only the good seedlings that the family valued would not be delayed in paying the annual salary.
