Chapter 172 Huge amount of spiritual stones (please subscribe!)
  "My grandfather."

Xu Zhiyu thought of a candidate.

"Your grandfather is the head of the Xu family. Do you think he has time to come to Taoyuanfang City to guard it every day? What about the family?"

Xu Deming said.

"Then choose another clan leader!"

Xu Deming smiled slightly and said:

"Okay, then you will take over as the clan leader, and then let your grandfather manage the city!"

Xu Zhiyu was speechless, rolled his eyes, and thought to himself: If you do this, you will be at odds with our ancestors and grandsons!
  "Then my sixteenth grandpa is fine. In his early years, he traveled around and visited many cities. I heard him say that he has been to more than ten places, big and small. He must have rich experience and be able to manage a city. It’s very well organized, and it must be much better than an inexperienced person like me.”

Xu Deming raised his eyebrows and teased:
  "He has a lot of experience, and you have a lot of experience too! In Kuixingfang City, didn't you go out early and come back late every day to inspect the city? This time you are asked to manage the city, which just allows you to show off your talents, isn't it? Isn’t it beautiful?”

"Besides, Shengxiao is still watching over the Tianchu Copper Mine. He definitely can't get away easily. I don't need to tell you how important the Tianchu Copper Mine is to the family, right?"

Xu Zhiyu did not give up and continued to ask:
  "Then you?"

Xu Deming laughed and said:

"Your boy is really good at choosing. Let's not talk about the second-level low-grade spiritual veins here. How do I practice on the second level of Zifu? Let's just say that the family does not have me in charge. What if something unexpected happens? Although this city will be in the future. It is an important source of income for my Xu family, but family is the foundation of my Xu family."

"Furthermore, I can help your grandfather handle some affairs in the family, so that your grandfather can take time to practice. Don't forget, he is already one hundred and eighty years old, and he is not far away from the 240th anniversary of the Foundation Establishment Monk. , if we don’t break through to Zi Mansion as soon as possible, we will be in ruins by then.”

Xu Zhiyu heard that this was indeed a very important issue. In addition, there were only a few suitable people in the Xu family. It seemed that the burden would eventually fall on him.

In fact, it was not that he refused deliberately, it was just that he was afraid that he would not do well and betray the family's trust, but since he said that he was offered the job, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and take it.

However, he still made some requests, such as.

"Ancestor, I will take over this job, but I can't do anything alone. Do you think you can send me some capable assistants?"

Xu Deming nodded and said with relief:

"Of course, I will send Zheng Ji and Zhi Kai to assist you. I hope the three of you will cooperate sincerely to run the city well."

"Fangshi will be busy in the early stages of its establishment. Once it gets on the right track, there won't be so many things. Then the three of you will take turns to be on duty here. It can be limited to three years or five years. When you are not on duty, you can go back to your family to practice in seclusion. After all, monks still have to put their own cultivation first!"

Xu Zhiyu was relieved. In fact, another reason why he did not want to take over Fangshi was that he was afraid that he would be too busy and not have enough time to practice. Now that his ancestor said this, he also gave up his worries.

"I will stay for a while, and I will not leave until you are completely familiar with the affairs of the city. But from now on, unless it is particularly urgent and you can't handle it, I will take action and do other things. You can handle all matters on your own without telling me."

Xu Deming gave him some instructions first, completely delegating power to him, then took a storage bag and said:
  "Here is the share that will be given to you after the Heavenly Red Copper is sold. There are 400,000 spirit stones. You can keep it! From now on, every time the family sells part of the Heavenly Red Copper, your share will be settled."

This is really a huge sum of money. Xu Zhiyu did not refuse and transferred the spirit stones in the storage bag handed over by his ancestor to his own storage bag.

As for why the spirit stones are given directly instead of increasing family contribution points, this is easy to understand. No matter how many family contribution points there are, if the family does not have enough redemption ability, the family contribution points will be a bunch of meaningless numbers.

If Xu Zhiyu's share is calculated based on family contribution points, the amount is too large. Besides, the family does not have so many redeemable items. It is better to just give out spiritual stones. He happens to be in the market, and he can buy any spiritual items he needs at any time. .

Thinking about the many spiritual stones he had just obtained, he remembered another thing and asked:
  "Ancestor, the level of the second-level high-grade spiritual veins here is still too low. Can we upgrade it to the third-level low-grade spiritual veins like the family does? Anyway, the family now has enough spiritual stones."

Xu Deming shook his head and said:
  "It's not possible now, let's talk about it in a few years! Don't be too ostentatious, as that can easily lead to trouble. Besides, upgrading the spiritual veins requires a large amount of spiritual stones. We have just upgraded the family spiritual veins, and we have to upgrade the city spiritual veins in a hurry. Pulse, that will only arouse others’ suspicion, so we’d better wait a few more years!”

"Ancestor, I understand!"

Xu Deming watched him put away the spirit stone, said a word and closed his eyes.

"Okay, go ahead. There is something you need to deal with right now. Ask Zhikai for details!"

When Xu Zhiyu heard this, he saw that his ancestor had entered samadhi, so he bowed and left lightly. I came to the lobby on the first floor and found a tribesman who looked familiar. I walked up to him and asked:
  "Forty brother, do you know where your thirty-sixth brother is now?"

"I've met Brother Nineteen. I saw Brother Thirty-six at the Rogue Cultivator Square. He seemed to have gathered the Rogue Cultivators together. I don't know what to do. You can go find him over there."

When Xu Zhilong saw his brother from the Establishment Clan asking him, he quickly stopped what he was doing and answered.

"What are you doing?" Xu Zhiyu did not leave immediately, but asked his clan brother.

"Reply to Brother Nineteen, we are cutting the spirit wood and preparing to make tables, chairs and benches."

"Okay, do your best!" He patted his clan brother on the shoulder and left slowly.

Arriving at the Sanxiu Square, Xu Zhiyu found that the place was full of people, and they were not standing in a haphazard manner, but in neat rows and columns. If you look carefully, you will find that each team is of different lengths.

He added the 'Spiritual Wood Technique', and a flash of light flashed in his eyes. He saw that these teams were arranged according to their cultivation level, ranging from the first level of Qi training to the ninth level of Qi training. The higher the cultivation level, the shorter the team.

Seeing Xu Zhikai standing in front of the crowd, he also walked over.

"Brother Nineteen, you are here!"

Xu Zhikai spotted him and said hello.

"Zhikai, why did you summon the casual cultivators here?"

Xu Zhiyu nodded in response and asked.

"Brother Nineteen, you don't know?" Xu Zhikai asked. Seeing Xu Zhiyu's expression of confusion, he explained:

"We hired casual cultivators and agreed to pay them once every six months. Today is the pay day."

"Oh? How do we determine the remuneration when we hire casual cultivators?"

Looking at the longing-looking San Xiu under the stage, Xu Zhiyu asked.

"It's determined based on your cultivation level. Two spiritual stones per month for the first level of Qi training, four for the second level of Qi training, six for the third level of Qi training, and so on!"

"This is not low! It is almost catching up with the salary of the clan members. Who decides this reward?"

After the discovery and mining of the red copper mine, the Xu family's family salary was reformed and tripled on the original basis. It was no longer roughly divided according to the early, middle and late stages as before, but The specific details are down to each level. The first level of Qi training costs three yuan per month. For each subsequent level of cultivation, the salary is multiplied by three.

"Brother Nineteen, this is what our ancestors decided. We are building a new city in Xujiafang. We should treat casual cultivators better. This can have a good publicity effect. After these casual cultivators are built in Fang City, they will definitely go around after they leave here. Publicity can help us build a reputation in a short time!”

Xu Zhikai explained.

"Okay, if that's the case, let's get started!" Xu Zhiyu nodded and said.

Xu Zhikai had a troubled look on his face and said:

"The supplies are all at Ancestor's place. He originally promised that they would come today, but they haven't arrived yet. We are just waiting!"

Xu Zhiyu secretly thought that was the case and handed the storage bag brought from his family to Xu Zhikai and said:
  "Then there's no need to wait. My ancestor ordered me to bring them here. Let's start distributing them now!"

Xu Zhikai took the storage bag and saw that it was indeed a spiritual stone or elixir.

I saw him take out numerous spiritual stones and other spiritual objects from the storage bag, put them into the nine storage bags taken from his body, and handed them to the nine tribesmen who were also standing on the stage. Let them start paying casual cultivators.

Xu Zhiyu stood aside and watched, and found that only a few of the casual cultivators directly asked for spiritual stones, and most of them wanted elixirs of equal value to improve their cultivation.
