Chapter 428

As he flew over the oasis passage formed by 25 man-made oases, Zhou Yang saw scenes that had long been imagined in his mind.

Just like the service areas on the highways in his previous life, with 25 man-made oases as the base, a large number of monks exploring the sand sea go in and out of those oases, or sell the spiritual objects they obtained when exploring the sand sea to the shops opened by the Zhou family on the oasis, or buy elixirs and various consumptive talismans such as Bigu pill, detoxification pill, Shengji hemostasis pill from the shops.

Low level friars are not as easy to explore the sand sea as foundation friars. Their storage bag capacity is limited. All kinds of food and water can only supply them to spend several months or half a year in the sand sea. Therefore, they must calculate and control the depth of exploration and reserve the consumption when they return.

Moreover, there are many monsters in this undeveloped sand sea. Once a battle is triggered, unless it is a first-order monster that can be crushed, fighting with monsters of the same level will consume some talismans and elixirs in the hands of monks.

Once all these elixir talismans are exhausted, they must return to 25 oasis strongholds to replenish them, otherwise they will easily die in the sand sea in the face of strong enemies.

These supplies are on the 25 man-made oasis, which only the Zhou family can provide.

Some shrewd low-level friars found this business opportunity and sold similar things at a slightly lower price, like the salesmen in the streets of the mortal country, but they could only drink a mouthful of soup from it after all, mostly earned by the Zhou family.

At the same time, Zhou Yang also saw two teams of migrating mortals. The mortals in these two teams were sitting on the sand camel car and were pulled by the Shatuo beast to rhinoceros horn island. More than a dozen Zhou family Qi training friars participated in the escort.

One team has gone through a quarter of the journey, and the number of personnel has been reduced by nearly 10%. Most of the faces in the team are tired. Many people's eyes are full of worry and regret. It seems that they are worried about this rough journey and regret stepping on this road of no return.

The latter team has just started and has not yet reached the first man-made oasis. The people in the team are full of spirit. Their eyes are full of longing and expectation for the legendary rhinoceros horn continent with fertile land, and fantasize about their new life after they arrive there.

Endless white flour steamed bread, endless fresh white milk, delicious roast mutton

These scenes were recognized by Zhou Yang, but they could not make his mood fluctuate.

After more than 200 years of life experience, he has been used to life and death, and his heart has become as hard as iron stone.

Those mortals in the migration may be very poor, and the mortals who died on the road are even more innocent.

But so what?

The world is so cruel. If you want to live well and more comfortable than others, you have to pay more efforts and costs more than others.

Friars of the Zhou family did not deceive these mortals with false propaganda. If they could reach rhinoceros horn Island alive, those beautiful fantasies could be realized.

Rhinoceros horn continent is rich and fertile, so that they and their descendants can not worry about food and drink in one or two hundred years.

If they stay in their original place, they still have to live a rationing life. There are strict quotas for food, drink, clothing and use, and they are distributed according to their work.

The road is their own choice, whether life or death, can only be resisted by themselves.

Even if Zhou Yang's cultivation mana is already the top in the boundless sand sea cultivation world, a small group of people can't help these people in this matter.

After flying all the way for more than ten days, Zhou Yang rushed to Chihu mountain.

"Nephew (disciple) see Uncle nine (Master)!"

"Nephew, nephew and grandson meet the supreme elder!"

On Chihu mountain, Zhou Guangxiang and Liu Xuanxuan, who learned of Zhou Yang's arrival, had already led a group of elders of the Zhou family to wait for him.

The Zhou family held a family meeting this time. Except for the two foundation building friars Zhou Guangxiang and panghe, who need to sit in xijiaozhou and Yuquan Lake oasis respectively, the other foundation building friars of the Zhou family rushed to Chihu mountain.

At this time, the number of Zhou friars gathered on Chihu mountain has exceeded 800.

Because of the large number of participants, Zhou Guangxiang urgently ordered people to dismantle the original conference hall and build a larger and magnificent new conference hall that can accommodate thousands of people.

Zhou Yang glanced at a group of descendants who came to meet him, and a look of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

Today's Zhou family really has a large number of talents. There are foundation builders in each generation, and there is more than one.

And all this is due to him.

It was he who led the small family whose inheritance was facing the crisis of disconnection to today's scale.

Now seeing the most outstanding talents of the Zhou family gathered together to welcome their arrival, he also felt a little about the feeling of founding a school and respecting his ancestors.

For the Zhou family, although he was not the founder of kaipai, he was the real ancestor of ZTE.

His prestige in the Zhou family and his contributions to the Zhou family have already surpassed any ancestor, including Zhou Yuquan, who founded the Zhou family.

Even if he is closed all the year round and is not obvious to people, he is not in the Zhou family, and his legends are everywhere in the Zhou family.

"Hehe, let's get up. I'll go to the ancestral temple to worship our ancestors first, and then talk to you in detail later."

Zhou Yang smiled and waved his hand gently, even if he said hello to the younger generation.

His generation and accomplishments are there. There is no need to be polite to these younger generations. Excessive politeness will make these younger generations unfit for it, and it is not in line with the personality of his family's "old ancestor" in the hearts of the people.

Next, as he said, Zhou Yang first went to the ancestral hall to worship the ancestors of the Zhou family, and then went to the cemetery to sweep the tombs of his parents, Zhou Minghan, Zhou Xuanyu and other close elders.

In this process, only Zhou Guangxiang accompanied him and served behind him.

After sweeping the graves of the elders, Zhou Yang called Zhou Guangxiang to the top of Chihu mountain to ask questions.

"Guangxiang, you already know the reason for holding the family meeting this time. How did you do that?"

"If you return to Uncle Jiu, after 15 years of mining, nearly half of the [forbidden stone] mine has been mined, and the ore obtained has been enough for building the treasure house."

"As for the nephew himself, the nephew [blood divine prohibition] has also understood most of it. He can completely master it in two or three years at most and use it in the treasure house guard array."

……

Silence.

After hearing Zhou Guangxiang's words, Zhou Yang was silent for a while.

After a while, he asked faintly, "do you think uncle Jiu is right to do this? Is it really necessary to distinguish the main atrium from the collateral branches by the blood of the strong? "

"Nephew, don't dare say anything about it!"

"But no matter what you want to do, my nephew will firmly agree with and implement your decision."

"My nephew believes that no matter what you do, the starting point must be for the good of the family and all the people!"

Zhou Guangxiang looked at Zhou Yang respectfully, and his words were full of trust and worship for Zhou Yang.

Zhou Yang seemed to have known that he would say so. After hearing the speech, he didn't have any happy color on his face, but his face shook his head and sighed: "Hey! Uncle nine, I know that this decision is actually not good for the family, and may even fall into the curse of splitting the family! "

"But Uncle nine, I know better. As the family continues to grow, if we continue to adopt the current system, once uncle nine is away from the family for a long time, you or your successor does not have the power and prestige to subdue the whole family. At that time, as long as there is an introduction, the family will fall into civil war and division."

"Instead of subjecting the family to a split civil war in the future, it's better to take the initiative now. At least in this way, the initiative is still in our hands. With the prestige of Uncle nine, I can suppress all the voices of resistance and let them honestly follow the rules we have formulated."

"In a short time, this change will bring some damage to the family and reduce the cohesion of the family."

"But in the long run, with the increase of various branches of the family, even if we are gone in the future, even if our main vein becomes a branch, the Zhou family is still the Zhou family, and will not perish because of the division of civil strife!"

Zhou Yang talked to himself, and the look in his eyes gradually became firm.

He firmly believed that the decision he made was not a wrong decision.

No matter the millennial aristocratic families he knew in his previous life, or the Jindan families and even Yuanying families he learned in the immortal world of liuyunzhou, unlike the current Zhou family, there is no distinction between primary and secondary, all relying on a family ancestor like him to maintain the existence of the family.

Half a month later, the family meeting of the Zhou family was officially held.

The monks attending the meeting were all Zhou's own friars, with a total of 821 people, including two Zifu friars Zhou Yang and Zhou Guangxiang, six foundation building elders Zhou yuanyao, Zhou Guangqing, Zhou Tongyao, Zhou Tonghua, Zhou Tongmin and Zhou Fuyun, seven deacon elders and hundreds of other ethnic groups.

At the beginning of the conference, Zhou Guangxiang, the patriarch, first asked about the family's personnel and finance.

Zhou Yang is just a spectator.

"At present, the family has 927 friars, 489 friars and 143 friars."

"Among them, there are three friars from Zifu, ten friars from Zhuji, 125 friars from the ninth floor of Qi training, 337 friars in the later stage of Qi training, and friars in the middle stage of Qi training..."

"The number of secular mortals in the family is about 4.2 million, and the number of mortals with foreign names is about 860000!"

"At the same time, the family now has seven vassal Zhuji families, namely Huang family, Ma family, Guo family, he family, Yu family, Xie family and Luo family, and nine vassal Lianqi families, namely Lu family, Li family and Lin family..."

"These vassal families have eight base building friars, including two Huang family and 597 Qi practicing friars, which can be driven by our Zhou family!"
