Cultivation Begins From The Desert

Why did Zhou Yang change the welfare offering of the Zhou family monks from spirit stones to contribution points?

Is it because the Zhou family's finances are tight and they can't afford the spirit stone?

Certainly not!

Even when he first took over the Zhou family a few years ago, there were still enough spirit stones in the family accounts. Therefore, the reason why he issued Family Contribution Points was not because of empty-handed white wolves, but because he wanted to use Contribution Points to tie all the family cultivators, so that all family cultivators were more dependent and loyal to the family.

The more contribution points a Zhou family cultivator has in his hands, the less likely he is to betray the family, because once he betrays the family, all the contribution points he has worked so hard to accumulate will become waste paper.

Since contribution points can be transferred and inherited, when a Zhou family cultivator inherits the contribution points left to him by generations of ancestors, fathers, etc., no matter whether these contribution points are more or less, he is burdened with a heavy burden. Things, even more do not want to let the things that have been handed down through the hard savings of ancestors from generation to generation become waste paper. But the contribution points can't just be issued but not recycled, and it can't just be used as a substitute for spiritual stones. It should have a more important role, such as the exchange of foundation building pills.

Lingshi can't buy the foundation pill, at least in the boundless sand sea cultivation world.

However, the contribution points of the Zhou family can be exchanged for Foundation Establishment Dan.

The cultivators of the Zhou family felt that the types of treasures that could be exchanged for contribution points in the family treasury were not rich enough, so they distrusted the role of contribution points. It was human nature to want to exchange contribution points for spiritual stones.

Moreover, Zhou Yang also knew that even if he really followed the advice of these people and spent the family's inventory of spirit stones to buy treasures from the outside world and put them into the family's treasure house for exchange, it would only cure the symptoms and not the root cause, and would not solve the actual problem. Today this clan lacks this kind of treasure and wants the family to buy it back for him to exchange. Tomorrow that clan lacks another kind of treasure and also wants the family to buy it and exchange it for him. Isn’t that messed up?

Therefore, Zhou Yang needed a solution to the root cause, a plan that all the clansmen would readily accept and support.

For now, the Foundation Establishment Dan was the best method he could think of.

An ordinary person can work hard without complaining for a house of his own, and live frugally with his half-life savings in exchange for it.

Not to mention the price a qi-training cultivator is willing to pay in order to get a Foundation Establishment Pill.

The attraction of foundation building pills to cultivators in the Qi training period is undoubtedly ten times, a hundred times more attractive than the attraction of houses to ordinary people.

The house only represents status and wealth, and besides these two things, the building of the foundation Dan also has more power and life.

Therefore, when Zhou Yang took out the big killer, the Foundation Establishment Pill, the cultivators of the Zhou family who were practicing Qi immediately ignored the small flaw that the contribution points could not be exchanged for certain things.

Contribution points can be exchanged for Foundation Building Pills, but what else can I exchange for other things?

As for the option of opening up contribution points to exchange for spirit stones, this proposal was not a problem immediately after Zhou Yang announced that Foundation Establishment Dan could be exchanged for contribution points.

Now, if anyone wants to exchange contribution points for spirit stones, there is no need to exchange them with the family. As long as one of them speaks, there are many family cultivators who are willing to exchange spirit stones for it.

If loyalty can be shown by data, as soon as the news of Zhou Yang was announced, there would definitely be a lot of loyalty +15 data floating on the heads of the Zhou family cultivators who were present during the Qi training period.

"Okay, I've finished speaking. If there is no objection, then I will start the next topic."

Zhou Yang smiled proudly as he looked at the fiery eyes of the crowd.

It is impossible to oppose. Whoever dares to oppose the exchange of contribution points for Foundation Building Pills is the enemy of all the monks of the Zhou family during the Qi training period.

So Zhou Yang quickly said his next topic.

"After this turmoil, I found that there are great unreasonable and hidden dangers in the division of functions of the family, so I intend to reform and optimize the division of labor in the family."

"Our family used to have various elders in charge of various family affairs. This cannot be said to be wrong, but like this chaos, once there is an emergency that requires the elders of the family to go to the front line to fight, the elders in charge will not have time to hand over the work. It will cause the temporary replacement to be incapable of the new job and make a mess of things."

"And to tell the truth, a person who can become a clan elder, even my clan leader, can only show that he surpasses others in cultivation talent, but it does not mean that he is also superior in management ability and operational planning ability. In the past, when the elders and elders of the family were in power to manage various family affairs, it was not the ability of the elders and elders that was valued more, but the prestige and strength of the elders and elders."

"If our Zhou family is still a small family with only a few dozen people in the past, and the family affairs are all decided by the patriarch alone, this system has many shortcomings, but it can still work."

"But think about it carefully, with the current growth rate of our Zhou family's cultivator population, when the family's cultivator population reaches hundreds or thousands, will this kind of parental arrangement system still be manageable?"

Zhou Yang said, his eyes swept over the clan elders with different expressions, especially the third elder Zhou Xuanlin who made a big ugly statement on the financial income and expenditure report, and then said in a serious tone: "I can tell you for sure. , absolutely can't handle it!"

"So, we need to reform this system, and we need to follow the example of Huangshamen and Chen's sects and big families to set up special family stewards to specifically manage various affairs, and then the patriarch, the elders, and the elders will carry out the work. Supervision."

"Our Zhou family now has mines, medicine gardens, spiritual fields, animal gardens, schools, shops, caravans and other places that need long-term management and stationing. According to my plan, a family steward will be set up in these places in the future. They will be stationed with the deputy stewards for a long time, and the family will give these cultivators the corresponding contribution points every year according to their positions, and the delinquent stewards will be assessed and confiscated.”

"The candidates for stewardship and deputy stewards can be appointed and arranged by the patriarch, or they can be self-recommended or recommended to the clan leader by the elders and elders. Whether they are stewards or deputy stewards, the family status is not higher than that of ordinary clansmen, and there is no order for clansmen to help them with their own affairs. The power to work without matters.”

"Once the stewards and deputy stewards are appointed, they can apply to the clan to send other clansmen to help in the past according to their management location and unit size. At the same time, those clansmen who have learned the arts of immortality and need to use the relevant venues to practice can also apply to the clan. Go to relevant venues for internships and be supervised by stewards and deputy stewards.”

"For important places such as the family treasure house, the cave of scriptures, and the palace of general affairs, in addition to the relevant family stewards and deputy stewards, they also need family elders to take turns to guard and supervise."

"Finally, you don't have to think that without being a steward and deputy steward, you can stay at the family spirit mountain and lead the family to worship and do nothing, because after the implementation of the new system, those of you who have nothing to do, will All of you will become combatants, and you will be the priority for anything related to fighting."

quiet!

It's quiet!

After Zhou Yang finished speaking, the square outside the Zhou Family Ancestral Temple was suddenly quiet, and the needles could be heard.

Zhou Xuantai, Zhou Xuanbin, Zhou Xuanlin and several other Zhou family elders, as well as some elders of the "Xuan" generation, all looked at each other at this moment, and their faces were not very good-looking.

No matter how nice Zhou Yang's words are, it can't change the fact that he wants to split the power of these clan elders and elders.

Originally, as clan elders, they had the power to take charge of any aspect of things. For example, if Zhou Xuanbin, who was in charge of personnel, was not there, Zhou Xuantai or Zhou Xuanlin could take care of him.

But now, according to what Zhou Yang said just now, all matters are managed by the steward and the deputy steward. These elders have no reason or power to intervene at all, and there is only one supervisory power left.

It is true that there are several foundation-building cultivators watching from above. Even if they hold power, they may not dare to use their power for personal gain to do things that harm the interests of the family.

But without power, it is impossible for them to really want to use power for personal gain.

One is dare not and don't want to, the other is impossible, the difference here is big!

When they were silent, Zhou Yang spoke again: "The elders and the elders didn't speak, I must not know how to say it, then I will help you."

"My decision seems to be dividing your power, but think about it carefully, if the family can't grow and develop, even if you hold the power, even if you dare to use it for personal gain, with the current size of the family, how confident are you that you can Not being discovered after using power for personal gain? How much family wealth can you use for your own use?”

"I'll give you another calculation. With your ninth-level Qi practice, if you don't care anymore, you can let go of your hands and feet to go out on an adventure to hunt monsters and find spiritual things, or make treasures for sale by using the hundred arts of cultivating immortals you have learned. Isn't it more cost-effective to earn spirit stones than to be trapped in the family, thinking about how to deduct a portion of the family's public property for your own use?"

This time ~www.wuxiamtl.com~ those elders couldn't sit still.

Zhou Yang has already said it for this reason, and the old patriarch Zhou Minghan over there has been smiling so as not to say anything. If they remain silent, even if they have not done anything for personal gain before, they will be in the eyes of other clansmen in the future. , I'm afraid it's also yellow mud falling into the crotch, it's not shit, it's shit!

Suddenly, Zhou Xuantai, the chief elder of the family, immediately stood up and said: "Patriarch Mingjian, I will not speak, it is not because I am greedy for the power in my hand and do not want to let go, but considering that the family is currently lacking in available manpower, once I wait for it now If you leave the power alone, I am afraid that not only will it not achieve the desired effect of the patriarch, but it will make things worse!"

"Second Uncle's words are not unreasonable, so my great-grandfather and I have discussed a transition period of 20 years. Within 20 years, we will continue to use the old system, while letting young people who are interested in serving as stewards and deputy stewards, Learn from the elders and elders, and at the same time increase the teaching of relevant knowledge to the junior cultivators, after 20 years, the new family system will completely replace the old system!"

Zhou Yang smiled slightly, as if he had expected it, and immediately gave the answer that he had prepared for a long time.

And his answer also made Zhou Xuantai and other elders heave a sigh of relief.

The transition period of 20 years is not short. In 20 years, half of the cultivators of the "Xuan" generation who were present will die in a sitting position. At that time, who cares about what will happen to the elders of the family behind? As a result, several elders looked at each other, then bowed their hands together and said, "The patriarch is wise, I have no objection."

"Okay, that's all set, let's move on to the next topic, about discussing the adjustment of the amount of the maternity subsidy fund and..."
