Chapter 255 Reform

After hearing the total account reported by Song Changfeng, Song Qingming gradually felt a little worried. This family meeting was also a reminder to him. Although the Song family's current finances are not in a state of deficit, it is indeed easy to encounter problems if it continues like this.

There are more and more mortals and cultivators in the family, but there are only a few places where spiritual stones can be collected. If they don't find ways to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, the Song family's financial income will definitely decrease in the future, falling into a vicious cycle.

"Sixth uncle, how many spirit stones are there in the account of the Treasury now?"

Seeing Song Qingming, who had not spoken yet, suddenly asked, Song Changfeng quickly took out the account and continued: "As of this year, there are 2,246 spirit stones in the warehouse, and other magic tools, talismans and other spiritual objects add up to about 700 spirit stones, totaling about 2,900 spirit stones."

Other people present did not react much when they heard this number. After all, in order to improve the spirit veins, the Song family not only emptied out a hundred years of accumulation at once, but also caused all the cultivators to not receive normal salaries for almost three years. It was not until five years ago that the family paid off all the owed salaries. It was already good to be able to save nearly 3,000 spirit stones in these years.

The only person present at the scene who felt that the family was still a little poor now was Song Qingming, the family's supreme elder. After all, as a fairly wealthy foundation-building cultivator, he naturally viewed this matter differently from the people present. There were only so many spirit stones in the family treasury, which was indeed a little insufficient for a foundation-building family. They could not afford any trouble.

"Over the years, I have been receiving a salary from the family, but I have put most of my energy into cultivation and have not come out to ask about family affairs. I am indeed a little slack.

Now the family has developed too fast, and all of our foundations have also shown many shortcomings. If we don't try to make some changes, I am afraid that there will be too many hidden dangers in the future.

For example, in the field of immortal cultivation skills, I found that our Song family is a little too far behind others. The family should start to pay attention to this area from now on. I think it is better to directly make some incentive measures. In the future, whoever can improve the immortal cultivation skills to the first-class upper grade can automatically get a part of the family subsidy, so as to encourage the family members to pay more attention to this aspect."

Hearing Song Qingming's words, everyone present showed a little surprise. Now the Song family's finances are not in deficit, and all aspects are still in good condition. There is no big hidden danger.

Somewhat strange is that although everyone present felt that Song Qingming's words seemed a bit too much, no one spoke up to respond, as if everyone had already gotten used to Song Qingming's arbitrary behavior.

After all, the Song family is what it is today, to put it bluntly, mainly due to the personal contribution of this supreme elder, including Song Qingyu's foundation building, which was also the result of Song Qingming's strong support. Although most of the people present were his elders, they were still quite convinced of Song Qingming from the bottom of their hearts. As long as the opinions put forward by him, the family's foundation-building cultivator, were not too outrageous, generally no one would speak out to oppose.

Song Qingming naturally saw the reaction of the crowd, but he didn't want to explain too much. After all, he just proposed a policy to manage the family. Whether this policy will be beneficial or harmful after its implementation in the future, it will take time to verify. No matter how good he speaks now, not everyone will understand and believe him immediately.

Regardless of whether this idea is good or not, no matter what the result is, you can try it first. If it doesn't work, you can stop it at any time, which will not have much impact on the current Song family.

Song Qingming, who has made up his mind to make some changes recently, then put forward several ideas, all about the future development direction of the family, including accelerating the pace of cultivating new spiritual veins, building mortal towns, saving some local formations consumed by spiritual stones, increasing investment in the family's spiritual fields, etc.

As for the ideas that Song Qingming mentioned later, they were basically things that could be seen with the eyes. Everyone had no objection and spoke up to agree with his ideas. This meeting lasted for more than an hour before it ended, which took a lot longer than before.

After the meeting ended, everyone left one after another. Song Qingming and Song Changfeng discussed the specific matters for a while before slowly returning to their cave.

As soon as he reached the top of the mountain, Song Qingming saw a beautiful figure looking up at the stars in the night.

"Have you stayed in the mountain for too long these years and want to go down the mountain?"

Two years ago, Song Qingyu's mother passed away. After hesitating again and again, Song Qingming let her go down the mountain for a few days. As a result, Song Qingyu became more taciturn after returning. Seeing her standing here alone, he thought she was thinking of her mother again.

Song Qingyu turned around, looked at Song Qingming and smiled: "Seventh Brother, since I established my foundation, I feel like I have become more and more accustomed to being alone in the past few years. Except for you, other people seem to be no longer so important in my heart."

"After reaching a certain level of cultivation, you always accept the loss calmly. No matter who it is, as long as they can't keep up with you in cultivation, they can only live in your memory in the end."

Song Qingyu said: "Then why not find someone who can keep up with you."

"Have you found it?"

"I haven't, but you have." Song Qingyu looked at Song Qingming with her big eyes and showed a bright smile.

"I know my own business, so don't worry about it."

After Song Qingming glared at her lightly, he turned his head and looked at the deep sky in the distance.

Seeing that he was going to perfunctorily pass it over again, Song Qingyu suddenly couldn't help but said seriously: "Seventh brother, sister-in-law has been very good to you for so many years, you also know it, you have been leaving her in Qinghefang like this, isn't it too unfair to her."

"She likes to run a restaurant, I respect her, what's wrong with that." Song Qingming replied lightly.

"It's true that you respect her, but what she likes, don't you really know?" Song Qingyu's tone was full of doubt.

"Seventh brother, I can see that you have feelings for your sister-in-law. Even if her last name is Huang, do you really intend to be on guard against her for the rest of your life? When you disappeared, there was no news of you at all. Qinghefang was in such a mess. The Huang family came to pick her up, but she didn't go back. It's enough to show that she is a person of affection and righteousness.

Sometimes I wonder, if you didn't give me this foundation-building pill but left it to her, wouldn't you two have to face loneliness alone like this?"

After hearing this, Song Qingming looked at the sky for a long time without answering.
