Chapter 160 Family Meeting

The next morning, Zhang Ziqiang and his daughters came to the main building, and some people came to report that all the tribe members had arrived. Marquis Bill, Earl Benson and Gabriel had arrived. Now his Yanhuang Mansion is not as fast as the county town, and the teleportation array is faster. However, it takes 40 minutes to get from the county town to this Yanhuang City, which shows that these people got up early.

Zhang Ziqiang entered the lobby slowly. The lobby was arranged according to his requirements today. The biggest feature was a large oval table. Everyone sat around the table, and there was a row of chairs beside the wall, which were arranged completely according to the conference room of the group company on Earth. It was the first time these people had seen such a layout, and they all stood there and didn't know how to sit down.

"Mr. Hou" and "Lord Lord".

When everyone saw Zhang Ziqiang and his family entered the lobby, they greeted Zhang Ziqiang one by one. He smiled and greeted everyone one by one, sat in the main seat, and arranged for Bill, Benson and Gabriel to sit at the other end of the oval, greeting others as they sat casually.

Fortunately, there are not many people in his family now, and the round table in the middle can be sat down. When everyone saw Zhang Ziqiang sitting directly, they naturally didn't dare to take up the positions around him. Although they wanted to be closer to him, these positions were obviously seated by Mrs. Zhu.

Ananda stood behind him without saying a word. This was the first time many people saw her. Seeing her standing behind Zhang Ziqiang, she thought she was a bodyguard or something, and she didn't find it strange.

"Today we have gathered everyone, and there are several major issues to be discussed. Let us invite Marquis Bill, Earl Benson, and Mr. Gabriel to come over and give us some suggestions."

When Bill and the other two heard Zhang Ziqiang say this, they hurriedly bowed and replied: "Lord's words are really a waste of my life. It is our honor to be lucky enough to participate in the Lord's Family Conference!"

Zhang Ziqiang nodded to them with a smile and continued, "This is the first time many of you have met each other today, so why don't you ask everyone to introduce yourself first."

Today, those attending his family meeting were: Zhang Ziqiang himself, Amilia, Xiaolan, Xiaocui, Xiaomei, Kalilu, Karin, his partners Fennert, Gray and Earl Benson's grandson Bengang, Foreign Affairs Director Dover, Grie Sheldah, the manager of the Al Kingdom Liquor House, and the second mother of the winemaking workshop leader Allabel.

Rossiding County Government Trio Georgia, Jichas Loran, Woodworking Workshop Abigay, Alvin, the lord of the city of Curras, Brenda, the pumping workshop manager, Blaz, the tax officer of the city of Curras, Lanelli, the commander of the private army, Bentelan, Ramsey, O'Laura, Ross, and the guards of the Institute of Formation.

Donna, the manager of the Talismanship and Arrangement Institute, Doreen, the manager of the Textile Workshop, Truro, the manager of the Iron House, and Colin, Derek, the representatives of the family of the Jiedan period, and Bill, Benson, and Gabriel, a total of 33 people.

Kalyn brought three partners, Fennert was Dover's grandson, Grey was the son of the dean of Glasgow of United Advanced College, and Ben Gang, the grandson of Earl Benson, also gained Kalyn's trust. Kalyn brought them all over, and these people were her future team.

Donna was selected from the five hundred maids sent by Millum. She had a high talent in setting up formations and was good at making talismans. Her cultivation reached the ninth level of the Kandan stage, and was assigned by Amilia to be responsible for the talisman formation. Doreen and Truro were selected from the first two hundred servants. These two were good at coordinating and arranged the matter and were entrusted with important tasks.

Colin and Derek were retired sergeants in the Jiedan period. They were the most prestigious of these four hundred people, and were spontaneously selected by these four hundred people.

After Zhang Ziqiang finished introducing the article, he sat upright and glanced at everyone. After he was completely quiet, he started to focus on the topic, "In the past few years, with the hard work of everyone, the family has developed greatly. First of all, I will tell you here, thank you for your hard work!"

"Today we are here, there are several major events to be announced and discussed. The first one is that the family is officially named 'Yanhuang Family'. When we promote and call each other, we will use the word 'Yanhuang' in the future. The products produced by the family will also be marked with these two words. I hope that with your efforts, the word 'Yanhuang' will spread throughout the continent. I also hope that when people mention the word 'Yanhuang', they can raise their fingers and praise them. I would like to ask everyone here."

Everyone below was happy and excited about the formal establishment of the family. In addition to Bill and the team of Kalyn, they all responded in unison: "We will live up to the high expectations of the head of the family!"

"The second thing, yesterday I bought a large number of slaves from Duke Harric, totaling 400,000! I will be used for the development of family territory. I would like to ask everyone to discuss how to place these people, how to start the development? How to determine the direction of development?"

“Wow…”

No one knew about this matter except Ananda. When the people below suddenly heard that they had bought so many slaves, they were surprised by Zhang Ziqiang's great work, and the other was that the family's financial resources were now catching up with the five major dukes and royal families. Even Bill was so shocked that he almost couldn't sit up straight, let alone the others?

The people of the family were not originally from aristocratic origins and had not received orthodox education. They were very strange when they were excited. However, no one paid attention to these demeanors anymore. They were discussing how many slaves could grow and how much income they would have in the next year. They calculated one by one, but no one thought about how to place them and how much funds they needed.

Zhang Ziqiang had to emphasize again: "Talking about one thing one by one, let's talk about how these people are placed first?"

Amilia first started talking: "Master, I bought so many slaves at once, and it is impossible to build a new house. Now most of the slaves in the kingdom go directly to the mountain, recruit civilians to take care of them, and assign tasks to develop them. It is not as good as us..."

Before Amilia finished speaking, Zhang Ziqiang interrupted her: "No, there are only 110,000 adult men, 70,000 children, and 220,000 women among these slaves. They are all bought by each family. I am going to let some restrictions on family slaves. In the future, the slaves of the family allow marriage, and slaves are also humans. No matter what other nobles do, my Yanhuang family will not let them live directly in the wild!"

He set the tone at the beginning, and the people below discussed it over and over again, but it was impossible to build so many houses in a short period of time, and it was also a problem where the house was built. Although everyone was busy thinking and wanted to show it well in front of the head of the family, how could they think of a solution for a while? Even building a house of some size at one time is difficult to measure how much it costs!

In the end, there was no choice but to skip this topic first, determine how to manage and develop, and then discuss it back.

Speaking of the development issue, Gabriel said a thought: "Mr. Hou, in the past, the sparsely populated counties in the kingdom planted crystal stone wheels and forests, the more populated counties planted spiritual medicine and wood, and the densely populated counties planted grain and vegetables. According to my opinion, Rositing County can also develop in this direction."

For the same cultivation, growing vegetables requires more people than planting spiritual medicines and spiritual trees, mainly due to the short production cycle. The number of people required for crystal stone wheels is the least, so there is no need to worry about planting in plains. Now, in the mountains, planting crystal stone wheels is just a small number of people to pump water, and it does not require too much labor.

When Ramsey heard this, he had an idea and said, "Mr. Hou, why not cut down the crystal stone wheels that are now in the forest and plant spiritual medicines and spiritual trees on it?"

This made everyone look at him strangely. Now Rosiding County's crystal wheels have been planted for hundreds of years, and just cut them like this, and this waste is going to be a big deal.

However, Zhang Ziqiang understood what he meant. He didn't need crystal wheels to cut wood and produce crystals. However, when he was on Earth, everyone had a high awareness of environmental protection and was too late to protect the forest. How could he cut it like this? So he never thought about it. After Ramsey's reminder, his heart turned away.

There are few rivers in this world, and it is difficult to rain. There will be no problem of soil erosion. What's more, the forest greening area in this world is much larger than that in that world. Every household has empty space, as long as there are empty spaces, who doesn't plant bastards on it? That's food!

Who will leave it empty in any place where trees can be planted in the wild? Whether it is planting crystal stone wheels and cutting forests or spiritual woods, these are all income. Even if these crystal stone wheels are cut, it does not mean that they will not be green. They are just replaced by spiritual wood and spiritual medicine, which are also plants.

"Bill, how many rotating forests are there in Rossiding County now?"

"Lord, it's about 3,000 square kilometers!"

"Then everyone tell me, if the crystal wheel is cut off and planted spiritual medicine and spiritual wood regardless of the losses, can 400,000 people be placed?"

When everyone heard that Zhang Ziqiang was really going to cut down crystal stone wheels and cut down forests, they all persuaded him. Dovers was one of them. He stood up and urgently persuaded: "Mr. Hou, these trees have lived for hundreds of years, and there will be a few hundred years to gain. Now they have cut them, but they can get nothing. It's a waste!"

"The investment in crystal stone wheel forest cutting has been too long. I have decided, so there is no need to persuade me!"

Kalilu thought to herself, thinking how capable you are. It turns out that she is just a short-sighted person. Xiao Cui serves as the internal affairs manager of the Yanhuang Mansion and is also in charge of procurement with Dover. Recently, her ability to settle accounts has increased greatly. She has always blindly trusted Zhang Ziqiang. Seeing that he made up his mind, she turned her mind a few times and then calculated clearly.

"Master, if all these 3,000 square kilometers are cut down, more than 400,000 slaves will be placed!"

"Oh? Tell me!"

"The land of 3,000 square kilometers is 4.5 million mu. These lands are used to plant spiritual medicines and trees in the future. Naturally, they cannot be planted like trees. If 400,000 people are resettled, they need to build houses, roads, and some food and vegetables are also necessary to avoid the family purchasing additional grain. The total of these is enough, and the remaining 4 million mu of land is ten mu per capita."

"The master said that these slaves were bought by one family, and they were four people in a family, which was forty acres. If you plant spiritual medicine and spiritual trees, as long as you plant them, you would just water them. With a pump, a man could take care of them. The female slaves could cultivate food at home and take care of their children. They could be self-sufficient in less than three years, and the family would not need to invest a lot of money."
