"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 towns. Sheling County has a population of 80,000 in the 13 towns and 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 site of Tiantai Peak, with a total population of 34,000. Some settlements have also been opened near Xihefang of Black Python Mountain.
At this point, the total population is 13,000. The total population under our control has reached 460,000. 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 already 368 monks registered in the genealogy. In addition, there are 107 guest ministers in the Qi training period, and one elder guest minister in the foundation building period. It is estimated that there will be more than thirty
By the year, 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. After that, the three outside Zhang family established the foundation and completely stabilized the family's decline.
"The existence of our family today is all due to the efforts of 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 and made the three ancestors of Zi Mansion go back to a hundred years ago. Without the efforts 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 in the battle outside. By the time the Zhang family returned to its former glory, most people 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 one 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 also 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.
Settlement. With the increase in the number of monks, transactions are more active than before, and the income is a little more than a century ago. This city has brought us more than 1,000 yuan 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 and reduce some of the resources we invest."
Today, the Chaoyin Mountain Lingshi Mine only has five foundations, 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 hold the least shares and bear almost as many responsibilities as
The same goes for the Wu family, which is 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: "It is important to settle big accounts rather than 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
If you can’t even fill up your spiritual veins, let’s help the sect share a little more, even if it’s a little bit, don’t say this again in the future.”
"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 Shanfang City, it is a pity that the area around Taihong Mountain has been turned into a wasteland. The number of monks in Hongshan County is far less than that in Jiangkou County. The income of the twenty shops is now only a little more than a thousand." Si.
Hong sat in Taihong Mountain and told everyone about the situation in the four northern counties.
Sihong's words were somewhat beyond everyone's expectations. Even Zhang Zhixuan asked curiously: "The current income of Taihong Shanfang City is not as good as that of Xihefang. How can it be so miserable?"
Sihong nodded and said: "Taihong Mountain is not far from Yuntai Mountain. Yuntai Shanfang City is developing very well, attracting many tourists from Hongshan County and Luyang County. If this city wants to develop, it will take many years.
time."
"The situation in Guiyuan Mountain is better than before, but the number of monks is still insufficient. The annual income of the five shops is only 500. Apart from the expenses of stationed monks, there is basically no profit at all."
After listening to everyone's reports, Zhang Zhixuan's eyes lit up and he said: "So, not counting Black Mountain, the family's annual gross income has exceeded 10,000. I remember that in the years when I just established the foundation, the family's income was only a little more than 1,000 spiritual stones.
.If it weren’t for Bai Yufeng’s unexpected fortune, I’m afraid life would have been even more difficult. Under normal circumstances, even the monks in the family can’t pay their annual salary. Only the good seedlings that the family values will not default on their annual salary.”
