Chapter 76 Population (please vote, please read)
Ever since Li Zhirui announced that his family would give rewards to his offspring if they had spiritual roots, many tribesmen who had no hope of establishing a foundation began to take in concubines. The most exaggerated tribe member took in more than a dozen concubines in just one month.
After Li Zhirui heard the news, he was very worried about the man's physical condition, lest his body collapse before the child grew up.
However, Li Zhirui discovered afterwards that the man still knew how to exercise restraint and did not indulge in music every night, so he left him alone.
Moreover, Li Zhirui has no time to care about others. He has been working hard to refine the first-level spiritual elixir during this period and strive to earn more spiritual stones.
For this reason, Li Zhirui made a special trip to the market and sold the refined elixir at the price of four spiritual stones each.
The price is not high, even Li Zhirui thinks it is a bit low! Because these elixirs were refined by him using six kinds of elixirs, they are not only more effective, but also less poisonous.
After more than a month of busy work, Li Zhirui got more than 6,000 spiritual stones. He was going to study the Yuan Ning Dan formula again, ripen a batch of spiritual medicines, and then start practicing.
But before that, Li Zhirui had to fulfill his responsibilities as the acting clan leader.
"Elder Shi Zhong, it's been more than a month, why haven't we seen many mortals coming to Darong Island?" Li Zhirui asked with a puzzled look on his face.
This matter is not difficult, just a little cumbersome. How come you haven't seen the effect until now?
Li Shizhong looked a little embarrassed and said sheepishly: "Elder Shize and I found many innocent mortals, but they all regretted it when they heard that they were going to live on the island."
Li Zhirui understood as soon as he heard it. Those mortals knew that the island was dangerous, and water monsters would often set off waves of beasts. They were worried about their own safety, so they were unwilling to live on the island.
"When you promote it, slightly modify your words. Don't emphasize that you are going to live on the island. Focus on the fact that you will be protected by monks, have fields to cultivate, and that future generations will have the opportunity to become monks."
In this world, the dividing line between monks and mortals is very blurred, and almost no one is unaware of the existence of monks. Therefore, in the eyes of many parents, becoming a monk is definitely a great thing that brings glory to one's ancestors.
Li Shizhong's eyes lit up, and he immediately promised: "Give me another month, and I will definitely let all the secular people have partners."
Li Zhirui nodded, without expressing any opinion, and asked Li Shijin, "How is the situation of the escort team?"
According to Li Zhirui's idea, the members of the current escort team are all members of the Jade-billed Eagle tribe, because the Jade-billed Eagle has the best eyesight and can see clearly far away, making it easier to find some monks who secretly landed on the island.
"In the past month or so, the escort team has found a total of forty-eight casual cultivators. However, due to insufficient numbers and low cultivation levels, not all of them have been caught." Li Shijin said quickly.
Li Zhirui heard the implication of Li Shijin's words. He just wanted to further expand the size of the escort team, but he had no choice. There were only so many people in the family, and it was already the limit to be able to spare ten people to join the escort team.
So Li Zhirui simply didn't answer, and turned to ask Li Shiqi, "These days should be the first time the monthly money is distributed after the reform, right? How is the reaction of the tribesmen?"
Formulated by Li Shiqi and approved by all the elders, the current family contribution points are as follows: 30 points per month in the early stage of Qi training, 50 points per month in the middle stage of Qi practice, 80 points in the late stage of Qi practice, and 200 points per month in the early stage of foundation building. , two hundred and four in the mid-term, and three hundred in the late stage.
As for the golden elixir, the Li family does not have a golden elixir monk yet, so they have not considered it.
"Most of the clansmen have accepted it. They are now happy to use the contribution points, but they are a little dissatisfied with the fact that half of the contribution points have to be spent to redeem spiritual stones." Li Shiqi was relieved at this result.
Li Zhirui was quite satisfied, and he knew that this matter could not be rushed, and he had to slowly let the clansmen accept it.
"Previous reform measures have been completed very well, but these are not measures that can be taken overnight. Only by continuing can we see better results."
Li Zhirui summed it up casually, then suddenly changed the topic and said: "With the development of the family, it is inevitable that some clan members will not be able to withstand the temptation and harm the interests of the family."
"In order to prevent this situation, the existence of the law enforcement team is necessary!"
Most of the elders didn't look very good. After all, Li Zhirui made it clear that he didn't trust them. The expressions of a few of the elders changed slightly, and a trace of fear appeared deep in their eyes.
"I don't want to pursue what happened in the past, so let's just let it go." Li Zhirui glanced at those people and said calmly: "But if it happens again in the future, don't blame me for ignoring the friendship of the same clan!"
"The elder of the law enforcement team is Uncle Ren, but as a foundation-building monk, it is impossible to worry about everything, so let Li Zhizhun handle the affairs of the law enforcement team."
Li Zhirui left this matter to Li Zhizhun with the intention of training him. Of course, he may not have the intention of being lazy.
After arranging things properly, Li Zhirui was too lazy to care about the expressions of the elders, and stood up and left. He had recently gained some insights into alchemy, and it was time to start refining the Yuan Ning Dan.

"The patriarch is really a god! As soon as these mortals heard that their descendants had the opportunity to become monks, they agreed to live on the island without hesitation." Li Shizhong looked at the long queue of people in front of him and couldn't help but sigh.
In addition to these mortals' expectations for the future, the Li family will also give the selected people, regardless of gender, thirty taels of silver in moving money.
It was not that no one doubted Li Shizhong's identity, but after Li Shizhong cast a spell in person and took some clan elders to Darong Island, he completely dispelled all doubts in these people's minds.
In order to avoid having blood from other families, Li Shizhong chose relatively remote villages.
In this kind of rural place, there are a large number of relatives and acquaintances between villages. As a result, the final news spread wider and wider, attracting a large number of mortals to sign up.
In this regard, it can be said that Li Shizhong did not reject anyone who came. Although the mortals sent back to Darong Island had already solved the needs of unmarried men and women, these mortals could marry on their own to replenish the empty Darong Island.
Although their descendants do not have the blood of the Li family, they can marry the next member of the Li family!
If you have spiritual roots, you can become a Taoist couple with a monk from the Li family, which can be regarded as a family monk, and their next generation will become a member of the Li family.
Moreover, this kind of Taoist couple who knows the basics is far more trustworthy than the Taoist couple found from the outside world.
"Elder, all the flying magic weapons are full." A certain tribesman walked up to Li Shizhong and said.
In order to transport more mortals at once, Li Zhirui ordered the collection of all the family's flying magic weapons capable of carrying people, including two second-level spiritual ships, five first-level spiritual ships, and nine first-level flying magic weapons.
Every place is packed to the brim, leaving no extra space. As a result, more than 5,000 people can be transported at one time!
And this is already the fourth time.
In fact, the number of mortals the Li family brought back to Darong Island during this period was far more than 20,000, because the Li family also bought many people from the human market.
Buying slaves is cheaper than paying for moving, but there are not many people of the right age, and they have been tamed by human traffickers and may have some mental problems.
"Then let's go." Li Shizhong boarded a spiritual ship, activated the magic weapon with other tribesmen, and flew towards Darong Island.
