In this expedition against the Hualong Sect, the Zhou family's gains were truly huge.
So when these harvests were roughly counted, Zhou Chun and Zhou Mingde felt a little unbelievable.
To use Zhou Daoyi's words, when did the Zhou family become so wealthy?
Of course, the Zhou family in the previous Sanjue Sect era was indeed a wealthy and wealthy family, a Jindan family.
However, ever since they came to Jiufeng Ridge, the Zhou family's life has been tight. It is no exaggeration to say that they wish they could break one spiritual coin into two pieces.
When money was most scarce at that time, the spiritual coins that were originally distributed as welfare for the family monks could only be changed into the family's good deeds and distributed to the clan members.
At that time, Zhou Daoyi would never have imagined that just twenty or thirty years later, the Zhou family could develop to this level again.
At this time, after the three of them were happy with the compiled list for a long time, they followed Zhou Chun's suggestion and quickly called all the family elders together and held a family meeting to discuss the disposal of these things and also discuss the current situation of the family.
Make a report on the situation.
In the Zhongping Hall, Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi were seen sitting high up, with Zhou Chun, Zhou Chongshan, Zhou Daoquan on the left and Zhou Daoquan on the right, and Zhou Jiarui, Zhou Jiahe, Zhou Jiapeng and Zhou Zhengyuan on the right.
After Zhou Mingde looked around, he spoke first.
"We have summoned all the elders here today. There are some things that need to be known to the elders."
"But before we talk formally, I have a decision to tell all the elders."
When he said this, he suddenly looked at Zhou Chun and said: "Since Zhengchun succeeded in building the foundation and took over as the deputy patriarch of the Zhou family, everyone has seen the achievements he has made for the family. I don't need to say more here.
I won’t go into details.”
"So after discussion between me and Dao Yi, we decided to let him officially serve as the patriarch of my Zhou family, with full authority to manage all the family members and handle family affairs."
"At the same time, Dao Yi will take up the position of supreme elder of my Zhou family after resigning as clan leader."
A somewhat unexpected and reasonable decision came out of Zhou Mingde's mouth.
He seemed to have only discussed this decision with Zhou Daoyi, and even Zhou Chun didn't know about it.
Therefore, Zhou Chun also showed a look of surprise at this time.
The six Zhou elders were surprised and then showed indifferent smiles.
Zhou Chongshan, the second elder, was the first to take the lead and say, "I fully support Zhengchun as the clan leader."
"I also agree with Masazumi being the clan leader."
Zhou Daoquan responded immediately.
"I completely agree with the Supreme Elder's decision."
"I agree too."
"I support Masazumi as the clan leader."
Zhou Jiarui, Zhou Jiahe, Zhou Jiapeng and others all expressed their approval and support, and unanimously approved Zhou Mingde's decision.
Zhou Chun, who has always been relatively humble, was not humble this time.
After all the elders expressed their agreement, he stood up and bowed to Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi, the superiors, and said: "Thank you to the two supreme elders for your trust and support. I will definitely devote myself to management."
A good family, let my Zhou family be glorious again!”….
After saying that, he stood up and bowed his hands to the elders on both sides and said: "At the same time, I would like to thank all the elders for their trust and support. From now on, I will be the leader of the clan. I also ask all the elders to support me as always. Believe me, I will definitely not let you.
disappointment!"
Both of these words showed his strong self-confidence, self-confidence from the inside out.
At this time, he must also be confident.
When everyone thinks highly of him and believes in him, how can he do it if he doesn't even have confidence in himself?
"Then this matter will be settled. After a while, after each family has calmed down, a celebration will be held to invite the heads of the friendly families from all parties to come and witness the matter."
Zhou Mingde spoke again, confirming the matter with a final word.
Then he glanced at the crowd again
He said slowly: "Now let Masazumi tell you about the family's gains and losses in this war."
After finishing his words, Zhou Chun stood up again, with an account book in his hand.
"Let me talk about the harvest first."
"During this war, the family gained a huge amount, which is shocking!"
"According to current statistics, the family has harvested five third-level magical artifacts from this war, including two third-order medium-grade magical artifacts, three third-order low-grade magical artifacts, and four third-order magical talismans."
"At the same time, the family harvested a total of thirty-seven second-order magical instruments, including seven second-order high-grade magical instruments, twelve second-order medium-grade magical instruments, eighteen second-order low-grade magical instruments, and thirty-two second-order magical symbols.
open."
"As for the first-level magic weapons, a total of 146 pieces were harvested, including 68 first-level high-quality magic weapons, 78 first-level medium-quality magic weapons, and 436 first-level magic talismans.
"
"In terms of elixirs, the family has harvested a total of 1,356 elixirs, of which there are seventeen types, eight of which are suitable for use by monks in the foundation building stage."
"In terms of formations, the family received five sets of formation equipment."
"In terms of elixirs, the family harvested two thousand-year-old elixirs this time, namely the thousand-year-old jade ganoderma and the thousand-year-old scrophulariaceae. At the same time, there were five eight-hundred-year-old elixirs, and a seven-hundred-year-old elixir.
There are seven strains, twenty-eight strains of elixir that are six hundred years old, thirty-nine strains of elixir that are five hundred years old, and sixty-eight strains of elixir that are four hundred years old!"
"There are a total of 354 other elixirs that are over a hundred years old and less than four hundred years old!"
"As for the monster beasts, this time the family harvested a total of nine red-eyed dragon vultures, fifteen dragon-clawed monitor lizards, thirty-three dragon-scaled horses, and an intermediate monster beast, a blood-flame dragon python egg.
Twenty-six low-level monster eggs."
"The rest of the harvested spiritual gold ores and other items add up to a total of eighteen types, including precious items such as iron spirits and third-level demon pills."
"In addition, the family has harvested a total of twenty-three techniques, fourteen secret techniques, five weapon-refining books, three alchemy books, six talisman-making books, two formation-making books, and six elixir recipes.
, three types of array diagrams.”

"In the end, the family harvested more than 3,200 pieces of various monster materials and more than 2,300 monster corpses this time."…
"These harvests are only what the family has gained so far. Regarding the military exploits performed by the family monks during the war, we still need to wait for the three sects to complete the statistics before issuing rewards."
Zhou Chun held the account book in his hand and read out the harvest recorded on it piece by piece.
Every time he read a paragraph, except for Zhou Mingde and Zhou Daoyi, who had read the account books in advance, the eyes of the other Zhou family elders would widen a little.
When he finished talking about all the gains, the Zhou elders present had their eyes wide open and looked at the account book in his hand with shock on their faces.
Although, several Zhou family elders who participated in the Southern Expedition knew that the Zhou family's gains this time would not be too small.
But they never imagined in advance that the harvest could be so great!
They are all foundation-building monks. Even if they may not know the market prices, they generally know how much the magic weapons, magic talismans, and elixirs mentioned by Zhou Chun can be sold for.
That is definitely a huge amount that even a Golden Core Stage monk would covet!
"Are these all true? Is the harvest really that big?"
Zhou Zhengyuan, who had always been in the family and had never participated in the Battle of the Southern Expedition or been on the front line to resist the beast tide, murmured with shock and disbelief on his face.
He had seen all those monster beasts and elixirs.
Although with his alchemy skills, he would not be able to use elixirs that are over five hundred years old at present, but he did know that the Zhou family had obtained a large number of elixirs.
But what Zhou Chun said about the harvest such as magical weapons was something he didn't know about.
"Of course it is true. Everything in it was personally checked by myself and the two Supreme Elders. There is nothing false about it."
Zhou Chun's face darkened
Quietly responded to Zhou Zhengyuan's question.
Then he said: "Of course, the family's gains are indeed great, but the losses are also not small. Now let me talk about the losses."
"Before and after this war, the family lost a total of twenty-seven monks, including twenty-three monks from my own family and four monks from my relatives!"
"At the same time, the family has lost as many as thirty-eight monster beasts, including the third elder's earth-armored bear!"
"The family's losses in materials this time were also huge. Most of the magic pills stored before the war were consumed. A total of thirty-five second-level magic charms and more than 1,600 first-level magic charms were consumed.
There are more than 500 pills, and the mountain-protecting formation was also seriously damaged during the war!"
"At the same time, the family spent a total of 32,000 spirit coins to pay for the fallen clan members, and spent more than 9,600 spirit coins to recruit casual cultivators!"
"This doesn't count the injured people like the second elder and the fourth elder."
After hearing this, the smiles on the faces of the elders who were originally smiling softened a lot.
The victory in the war is indeed worthy of celebration, and the huge gains achieved are also worthy of joy, but those tribesmen who died in the battle need to be remembered and mourned even more.
At this time, hearing Zhou Chun talk about the clan members who died in battle, how could these elders still laugh?
At this time, Zhou Mingde said slowly: "The deceased have passed away. Those clan members who died for the family are all heroes of our Zhou family. The Zhou family will remember their sacrifice and dedication, and we cannot let them die."
The sacrifice was in vain!”….
"Okay, let me personally talk about the arrangements for these harvests!"
When he said this, he glanced around the faces of the elders one by one, and then said in a deep voice: "This harvest is basically obtained by the high-level monks of the family who participated in the war relying on their own strength. In terms of distribution,
We should take care of them first!”
"So I think that based on everyone's previous performance and gains, 70% of their gains on the battlefield should be attributed to themselves, and another 10% should be allocated to reward the monks who stayed behind in the family, and the remaining 20% should be rushed into the family treasury!
"
"Do you have any objections to this distribution method?"
Hearing his words, Zhou Jiarui and other elders couldn't help but look at each other, and then Zhou Chongshan took the lead in responding: "There will be more for those who are capable. The juniors have no objection to this allocation method of the Supreme Elder."
"Junior has no objection!"
"Everything must be obeyed by the Supreme Elder!"
"Juniors agree with this distribution method."
The remaining Zhou family elders all spoke in agreement, and no one had any objections to this.
In fact, except for Zhou Jiahe and Zhou Zhengyuan, who have been staying at home, the rest of them have participated in the Southern Expedition. According to this distribution method, their gains will not be low.
And neither of these two people have any big ambitions. They are relatively satisfied with their current cultivation and status, and naturally they will not go against most people on this kind of matter.
Seeing this, Zhou Mingde nodded with satisfaction and said, "Well, since you don't have any objections, after we calculate your share later, we will let you choose how to settle the matter based on the actual situation."
After finishing speaking, he said to Zhou Chun: "Now, Zhengchun, please tell everyone about the current situation of the family."
Hearing this, Zhou Chun stood up again, then held the account book and said: "The family now has one hundred and seventy-seven monks of our own clan, and twenty-one monks from relatives, including two monks in the Zifu period, seven monks in the Foundation-building period, and
There are thirty-three monks in the late stage of Qi refining, seventy-four monks in the middle stage of Qi refining, fifty-three monks in the early stage of Qi refining, and seventeen people who have not entered the Dao clan."
"In addition, the family has now adopted twenty-six dead servants, and eighteen of them have entered the early stage of Qi refining."
Thanks to the Zhou family's policy of encouraging childbirth over the years, the number of monks in the Zhou family has increased a lot in the past ten years.
If it hadn't been for the loss of more than 20 clan members during the war, the number of monks in the Zhou family would have exceeded 200 by now.
But to be honest, compared to the Zhou family's current number of middle- and high-level monks, including two Zifu-level monks and seven Foundation-building-level monks, this number of Qi-refining-level monks is far from enough.
However, the increase in the population of monks in this clan cannot be accomplished overnight. Zhou Chun has no good solution for this matter. He can only wait until he becomes the clan leader and then find a way to see if he can introduce maternity subsidy measures to increase the income.
Zhenzhou monks desire to have children.
But when he heard him talk about the number of monks in his family, Zhou Mingde also asked him a question.
"Although the number of monks in the family has increased over the years, it is undoubtedly lagging behind the development of the family. In this war, the family's shortcomings of insufficient manpower were even more exposed. In the future, there will be many places where the family will need large-scale employment.
Masazumi, do you have any ideas?"
Zhou Mingde had not discussed this issue with Zhou Chun in advance, and it was considered a surprise attack at this time.
Therefore, Zhou Chun was a little stunned after hearing what he said.
But Zhou Chun quickly understood what Zhou Mingde was going to say.
Then he pondered for a moment and then said: "The growth in the number of monks in the family cannot be improved in one or two years. It takes at least thirty years for a generation to grow. Even if the family has now added a hundred people with spiritual qualifications,
Newborns, it will be thirty to fifty years before they grow up and be used by the family!"
"So this junior thinks that if we need to employ people on a large scale outside the family, we will have no choice but to hire outsiders!"
