Chapter 139 Family Meeting (Part 2)
Why did Zhou Yang change the welfare enshrining of Zhou family monks from spirit stones to contribution points?
Is it because the Zhou family's finances are tight and they can't afford Lingshi?
Certainly not!
Even when he first took over the Zhou family a few years ago, there were still enough spirit stones in the family account.
Therefore, the reason why he issued the family contribution points was not to use the contribution points to bind all the family monks, so that all the family monks would be more dependent and loyal to the family.
The more contribution points a Zhou family monk has, 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 the contribution points can be transferred and inherited, when a monk of the Zhou family inherits the contribution points left to him by his ancestors, fathers and other generations, no matter how many or few these contribution points are, he is burdened with a heavy burden. things, and I don’t want to let the things that have been accumulated and passed down from generation to generation become waste paper.
However, contribution points can’t just be issued and not recycled, and it can’t just be used as a substitute for spirit stones. It should also have more important functions, such as exchanging for foundation building pills.
You can't buy foundation building pills with spirit stones, at least in the world of cultivating immortals in the boundless sand sea.
But the Zhou family's contribution points can be exchanged for Foundation Establishment Pills.
The monks of the Zhou family feel that the types of treasures that can be exchanged for contribution points in the family treasury are not as rich as those outside, so they have distrust of the role of contribution points. It is human nature to want to exchange contribution points for spirit 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 in the family's treasury for exchange, it would only treat the symptoms but not the root cause, and would not solve the actual problem.
Today, because the clansman lacks this kind of treasure, he wants the family to buy it back and exchange it for him. Tomorrow, the clansman lacks another kind of treasure, and wants the family to buy it back and exchange it for him. Isn't that a mess?
Therefore, Zhou Yang needed a permanent solution, a plan that all the clansmen would readily accept and support.
Currently, the Foundation Establishment Pill is the best method he can think of.
An ordinary person can work hard and live frugally for a house of his own, and use his half-life savings in exchange for it.
Not to mention the price a monk in the Qi training period would be willing to pay in order to obtain a Foundation Establishment Pill.
The attraction of the foundation building pill to the monks in the qi training period is undoubtedly ten times, a hundred times the attraction of the house to ordinary people.
Houses only represent status and wealth, while Zhuji Dan represents not only these two things, but also strength and life.
Therefore, when Zhou Yang took out the great weapon of building foundation pills, those monks in the Qi training period of the Zhou family immediately chose to ignore the small flaw that the contribution points could not be exchanged for certain things.
Contribution points can be exchanged for Foundation Establishment Pills, so why exchange them for other things?
As for the option of exchanging contribution points for spirit stones, this proposal would not be a problem immediately after Zhou Yang announced that the Foundation Establishment Pill 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 asks, there are many family monks who are willing to exchange spirit stones.
If loyalty can be shown by data, as soon as Zhou Yang announces the news, there will definitely be a lot of loyalty +15 data on the heads of those Zhou family Qi training period monks present.
"Okay, I've finished speaking. If there is no objection, then I will start to talk about the next topic."
Looking at the fiery eyes of everyone present, Zhou Yang smiled complacently.
It is impossible to object. Whoever dares to object to exchanging contribution points for foundation building pills will be the enemy of all Zhou family Qi training period monks.
So Zhou Yang quickly stated his next topic.
"After this chaos, I found that there are great unreasonable and hidden dangers in the division of labor in the family, so I intend to reform and optimize the division of labor in the family."
"In the past, the elders of our family were in charge of various family affairs. This cannot be said to be wrong, but just like this chaos, once an emergency situation requires the elders of the family to go to the front line to fight, once the elders in charge have no time to hand over the work, they will It will lead to a temporary replacement who is not qualified for the new job, and it will make a mess of things."
"And let me be honest, being able to become a family elder, even me, the patriarch, can only show that he is superior to others in terms of cultivation talent, but it does not mean that he is also superior to others in terms of management ability and planning ability. In the past, the elders and elders of the family were allowed to take power and manage all kinds of family affairs, not the ability of the elders and elders, but the prestige and strength of the elders and elders."
"If our Zhou family is still a small family with only a few dozen members and all major family affairs are decided by the patriarch alone, although this system has many shortcomings, it can still work."
"But think about it carefully, everyone. With the current growth rate of monks in our Zhou family, after the number of monks in the family reaches hundreds or thousands, can this kind of parent arrangement system be managed?"
As Zhou Yang said, he glanced at the family elders with different faces, especially the third elder Zhou Xuanlin who had made a big scandal in the financial income and expenditure report before, and then said in a serious tone: "I can tell you for sure , Absolutely can't control it!"
"So, we need to reform this system. We need to set up a special family manager to manage various affairs in the same way as the Huangshamen and Chen family's great sects and big families, and then the patriarch, the elders, and the elders will carry out supervision."
"Our Zhou family now has mines, medicine gardens, spiritual fields, animal gardens, schools, shops, caravans and other places that need people to manage them for a long time. According to my plan, a family steward will be appointed in these places in the future. And the deputy stewards will manage and station for a long time, and the family will give corresponding contribution point subsidies to these monks who have been managed and stationed for a long time according to their positions, and at the same time, the stewards who neglect their duties will be assessed and confiscated."
"The candidates for stewards and deputy stewards can be appointed by the patriarch, or they can recommend themselves or be recommended by the elders and elders to the patriarch. Whether they are stewards or deputy stewards, the status of the family is not higher than that of ordinary clansmen, and there is no order for the clansmen to help them. The power to work without matters."
"Once the stewards and deputy stewards accept the appointment, they can apply to the family to send other clan members to help them according to their own management location and unit size. Go to relevant venues for internship, and accept the supervision of the steward and deputy steward."
"As for important places such as the family treasure house, scripture cave, general affairs hall, etc., in addition to the need for relevant family stewards and deputy stewards to be responsible for handling affairs, there are also family elders who take turns to guard and supervise them."
"Finally, you don't have to think that if you don't become steward and deputy steward, you can stay on the family spirit mountain and receive family offerings without doing anything, because after the implementation of the new system, those of you who have nothing to do will have nothing to do. All of you will become fighters, and you will all be given priority when encountering matters related to martial arts combat."
quiet!
All quiet!
After Zhou Yang finished speaking, the square outside the Zhou Family Ancestral Temple was suddenly quiet, and a needle could be heard.
Zhou Xuantai, Zhou Xuanbin, Zhou Xuanlin and other Zhou family elders, as well as some elders of the "Xuan" generation, all looked at each other at this moment, and their expressions were not very good-looking.
No matter how nicely Zhou Yang said, it still couldn't change the fact that he wanted to split the power of the elders and elders of their families.
Originally, as the elders of the family, they had the power to take charge of any aspect of affairs. For example, if Zhou Xuanbin, who was in charge of personnel affairs, was not around, Zhou Xuantai or Zhou Xuanlin could take charge of it for him.
But now, according to what Zhou Yang said just now, all aspects of affairs will be managed by the steward and deputy steward. Elders like them have no reason or power to intervene at all, and there is only one supervisory right left.
It is true that there are a few foundation-building monks watching from above. Even if they hold power, they may not dare to use power for personal gain to do things that harm the interests of the family.
But without power, it would be impossible for them to use power for personal gain.
One is not daring and not wanting, the other is impossible, the difference is huge!
But when they were silent, Zhou Yang spoke again: "The elders and elders are silent, probably because they don't know how to say it, so I will help you to say it."
"My decision seems to be to divide your power, but think about it carefully, if the family cannot develop and grow, even if you have power in your hands, even if you dare to use power for personal gain, with the current size of the family, how sure are you? Not being discovered after using power for personal gain? How much family wealth can you use power for personal gain for your own use?"
"Let me do another calculation for you. With your cultivation base of the ninth level of qi training, if you don't take care of things anymore, you can go out on an adventure to hunt monsters and find spiritual objects, or use the learned skills of cultivating immortals to make treasures for sale. Isn't earning spirit stones more cost-effective than staying in the family and thinking about how to steal part of the family's public property from the family's property for your own use?"
This time, the elders couldn't sit still.
Zhou Yang has already talked about this point, and the old patriarch Zhou Minghan over there has been smiling and looking at each other without speaking. If they keep silent, even if they have not done anything for personal gain before, in the eyes of other clansmen. , I'm afraid it's yellow mud falling into the crotch, it's either shit or shit!
Immediately, Zhou Xuantai, the great elder of the family, immediately stood up and said: "Patriarch Mingjian, I am not waiting to speak, it is definitely not because I am greedy for the power in my hand and do not want to let go, but because the family is currently short of available manpower, once I wait now If we just delegate power and ignore it, I am afraid not only will not achieve the desired effect of the patriarch, but it will make things even worse!"
"What the second uncle said is not unreasonable, so I discussed with my great-grandfather, and we agreed to use 20 years as a transition period. In the 20 years, while we still use the old system, we will let 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 junior monks, twenty years later, the new family system will completely replace the old system!"
Zhou Yang smiled slightly, as if he had expected it, and immediately said the answer he had prepared a long time ago.
And his answer made Zhou Xuantai and the other elders heave a sigh of relief.
The transition period of twenty years is not short. Twenty years later, half of the "Xuan" monks who were present here will pass away. At that time, who cares about the elders of the family behind?
Ever since, several elders looked at each other, then bowed their hands together and said: "The patriarch is wise, we have no objection."
"Okay, that's the end of the matter. Let's move on to the next topic, which is to discuss the adjustment of the amount of the maternity subsidy fund and..."
In the second update, I continue to work hard on the code, hoping to save the next chapter as soon as possible, and return to the two chapters as soon as possible.
