Forewarned is forearmed, without prejudging the waste!
The so-called two or three years is naturally an exaggeration, but it is precisely to enhance the sense of urgency among the Zhao family monks.
Naturally, the true situation of the Zhao family cannot be widely disclosed at such a conference.
"We started by farming in Luo State. Now Xinwei Mountain is very large, which is just suitable for farming."
"That's wrong. I once managed thirty acres of spiritual fields. If there are no medicine fields and only rely on spiritual fields, there won't be much income. Although the Bai family once opened a spiritual field in Weishan, it only lasted twenty years, and it has only been cultivated for nearly twenty years. Most of the spiritual fields have been unmanaged for five years, and most of them have been abandoned. It will take at least one or two years to re-cultivate the spirituality in the spiritual fields."
"Don't forget, now that we are in southern Xinjiang, the meat of monster beasts can replace the spiritual valleys in the Plains of All Nations. Moreover, there are not many monks here, so the value of the spiritual fields will drop even further."
"How about we start with ourselves first and halve the monthly spiritual stone elixirs, which can also reduce the burden on the family."
"This is a great thing to say."
"I noticed that there were many caravans walking on the way to Weishan. Maybe our Zhao family can also form a caravan."
"If this is robbed by casual cultivators, the loss will be too great."
"..."
Many monks spoke to each other and made suggestions one after another.
After a year of training.
Today's Zhao family monks are far more proactive than when they were in Luo Kingdom, and their sense of support for the Zhao family is also stronger. This is all because accompanying the Zhao family through life and death difficulties can cultivate this quality in blood.
Taken together.
Roughly speaking, they include: reducing the monthly resources of monks, opening up spiritual fields and medicine fields, operating caravans for trade, hunting and killing monsters for sale, continuing to lease cultivation land to casual cultivators, etc.
Among them are suggestions such as hunting monsters.
It was rejected immediately. The Zhao family, a small family, could not withstand such a torment. There were only about sixty monks, and losing just a few would be a big loss.
As for reducing monk resources, Zhao Yongqi did not adopt it.
The spiritual stones and elixirs allocated to monks every month are now allocated according to their cultivation level. If the monks use these resources to practice hard, there will not be much left. On the contrary, if they are suddenly cut in half, the cultivation of the Zhao family monks will be greatly reduced. Progress began to slow.
This is not in line with the Zhao family's development strategy.
Although the income from spiritual fields and medicinal fields is not as high as it was in Luo State, they still need to be opened up, and a large number of them must be developed. Spiritual fields are basically planted with spiritual grains, while medicinal fields need to plant elixirs of various years.
The Linggu will be harvested in another two years.
It will take at least decades or even hundreds of years for medicinal fields to reach the peak of profitability.
besides.
The construction of caravans has also begun. Since southern Xinjiang is not suitable for monks in the Qi training period to fly, the circulation of goods is very inconvenient, so caravans came into being. Basically, every force with a name in southern Xinjiang will have a caravan under its banner. .
And wait until the spiritual grain harvest.
If there is no own caravan to open up sales, it will be very inconvenient.
However, the construction of the caravan does not happen overnight. In addition to selecting suitable personnel, it is also necessary to purchase some magical weapons unique to southern Xinjiang in advance, such as exorcism talismans, which are specially designed to deal with evil spirits and weirdness.
And renting a training place to casual cultivators is not a long-term solution. The number of casual cultivators in Dongwei Mountain must be strictly controlled and must not exceed the control of the Zhao family.
...
this discussion.
The general development direction of the Zhao family has been basically finalized.
There are three elders and five deacons in the Zhao family.
Of course, the elders need not be mentioned again. The five deacons are Zhao Chongxue, Zhao Chongmao, Zhao Chongjin, Zhao Chongxiu, and Zhao Chongyi. Although these five deacons have different personalities, at present, there is no treacherous or evil person. .
Among them, the first elder is responsible for the protection of Weishan Mountain and the safety of Zhao Yongqi himself; the third elder is to open the Dharma transmission pavilion again, and to test the spiritual root qualifications among ordinary people, and to use various fertility benefits to let ordinary people Live as long as you can; the four elders are temporarily building the Zhongyi Temple, and will be deployed according to demand after the construction of the Zhongyi Temple is completed.
Five deacons.
Zhao Chongxue is in charge of the Foreign Affairs Hall and is responsible for dealing with casual cultivators; Zhao Chongmao and Zhao Chongjin are responsible for opening up spiritual fields and medicinal fields; Zhao Chongyi and Zhao Chongxiu are responsible for establishing caravans and determining the self-defense weapons needed by caravan cultivators.
These things were discussed for a long time before they were finally decided.
to be honest.
If he really relied on Zhao Yongqi, he would have no idea how to develop the Zhao family in such a situation. I am afraid that apart from relying on the development of each generation over time, it is really difficult to have the opportunity to gain momentum in a short period of time.
but.
The art of divination exists, but it still gives Zhao Yongqi a glimmer of hope.
Now there is something to ward off the disaster. As long as his cultivation level can break through and reach the fourth level of Qi training...
No!
If he is determined, he does not even need to reach the fourth level of Qi training, but only needs to be at the third level; he can use the disaster-blocking objects to divine and look for development opportunities for the Zhao family.
It still takes a little time...
...
The next day.
Zhao Yongqi also asked the elder to arrange manpower to visit the He family in Qingsong Valley, Cangru Mountain, and the Xiong family in Gray Lan Mountain respectively to express goodwill.
This kind of thing also consumes a lot of spiritual stones, but it is something that must be done. With such a large team of the Zhao family arriving at Weishan, the nearby forces must have received the news long ago, and maybe they have sent people to investigate near Weishan.
There is no need to worry about forces that are not in the upper level.
But the eighth- and ninth-grade families still have to communicate, regardless of the other party.
then.
He also invited a monk named Bai who lived in Dongweishan.
"Fellow Daoist Bai, are you still used to living in Dongweishan Mountain recently?" Zhao Yongqi said with a smile on his face in Weishan Palace and his tone was approachable.
"Not bad, not bad."
The white monk forced a smile on his sad face.
He didn't know why Zhao Yongqi called him here, and he didn't know whether this trip was a good thing or a bad thing, but for the sake of the more than a thousand Bai clan members, he had to come to Weishan Palace.
"People of the bright side don't speak secretly."
Zhao Yongqi didn't like to beat around the bush: "Fellow Taoist Bai should also know that the Zhao family has just come to southern Xinjiang and is unfamiliar with many things. Therefore, I have to ask fellow Taoist Bai for advice on some things. I hope you don't hide anything."
There are many differences between Southern Xinjiang and Luo Kingdom.
For example, clans in the Luo Kingdom generally like to plant "Xueyang Flower" and "Golden Finger Grass" in medicinal fields, which are the main medicines for refining Xueyang Pill and Golden Marrow Pills, so there is no need to worry about sales in the Luo Kingdom.
But in southern Xinjiang.
But there is no planting environment for alyssum and golden ear grass.
"Clan Leader Zhao, just ask, but I will tell you everything I know." When Brother Bai heard that this was not an embarrassing matter at all, he felt relieved.
"Since Fellow Daoist Bai is from the Bai family, he must know the Bai family very well. I wonder what the Bai family planted in the medicinal fields and spiritual fields before? What are the sources of income from spiritual stones?"
