Chapter 253 End of Year Statistics, Family Style!

Chapter 253 End of year statistics, family ethos!

Lu Family Mansion, Council Hall.

Lu Changsheng was seated at the main seat, and Lu Miaogao and Ling Zixiao were sitting on either side.

Lu Miaoyun, Lu Miaohuan, Qu Zhenzhen and other wives and concubines, and children Lu Pingan, Lu Xianzhi and Lu Ruyi sat on the two sides.

Almost the entire council chamber was filled.

“Husband, the family’s ordinary spirit fields of 1,430 acres are planted with Spirit Mulberry Tree, Red Flower Grass, Green Seed Fruit, Blue Moon Flower, and White Corn.”

“All of these spiritual crops are ripe once a year, and currently the Spiritual Mulberry Leaves get nine thousand two hundred pounds, the Red Flower Grass gets twelve thousand two hundred pounds, the Green Seed Fruit twenty thousand and fifty pounds, the Biyue Flower gets eleven thousand three hundred pounds, and the White Corn gets twenty-three thousand six hundred pounds.”

“One thousand acres of first-order spiritual field, planted with first-order top-grade ‘chalcedony rice, chalcedony rice is ripe for a year and a half, currently it has all been harvested and harvested, peeling out the chaff, and obtained twenty-four thousand six hundred and thirty kilograms of chalcedony rice, and ten thousand one hundred and fifty kilograms of chaff.”

“There are one hundred and fifty acres of second-order spiritual fields remaining of blue water rice, which ripens once every two and a half years, and is not yet ripe.”

“As these crops, are all Yu family planted in the first place, we took over, because of manpower and familiarization issues, resulting in a reduction of production of 30 to 40%, but with the manpower supplement, the number of expected next year’s production can be gradually”

Lu Miaoyun held a ledger and slowly spoke out, reporting on matters regarding the family’s spirit field crops.

“Will the lack of production of Spiritual Mulberry Leaf, Red Grass Flower, Green Seed Fruit, and Blue Moon Flower affect the fishing aspect?”

When Lu Changsheng heard this, he spoke out and inquired.

These are the crops that are used to formulate fish food and feed the spirit fish.

If there is not enough production, it will affect the situation in Bayswater Lake and the fish farm.

“I’ve confirmed this with Jong Yul and the girls, it won’t be affected too much at the moment, the warehouse has fish material that was configured a long time ago, but if it continues to be like this next year, it will have some impact.”

Lu Miaoyun said so.

“OK.”

Lu Changsheng nodded and said, signaling to continue.

“Currently in terms of spirit fish, this year’s output is eleven thousand three hundred pounds, of which two hundred and nineteen red-blooded carp, totaling two thousand eight hundred and ninety pounds, and eighty-six blue-blooded carp, one thousand two hundred and ten pounds.”

“In terms of spiritual medicine, there is no maturity yet.”

Lu Miaoyun continued, “The income from the spiritual fields is expected to be nineteen thousand spirit stones, and the income from the fishing products is expected to be six thousand seven hundred spirit stones.”

“The income from fishing is so low? Shouldn’t the income from fisheries be higher than that from spiritual fields?”

When Lu Changsheng heard this, he frowned slightly and said with some surprise.

But he knew that it was the fishery products of Bihu Mountain that were the main income.

“Husband, the income from the spirit field is only projected to be this much, like the Spirit Mulberry Leaf, Red Grass Flower, Green Seed Fruit, and Biyue Flower are basically self-produced and used to feed the spirit fish, and are not actually considered profitable.”

“And, before that, the Yu family had just sold a batch of spirit fish, and there was a lack of king carp in the fish farms, which affected the ecology of the fishing grounds, as well as the sales channels being affected, and all sorts of reasons, which led to a huge drop in the income from the fishing production.”

“Otherwise, under normal circumstances, the income from the fishery should be able to reach around twenty thousand spirit stones.”

Lu Miaoyun spoke out and said so.

“So it is.”

Hearing this, Lu Changsheng immediately understood that the income from the spiritual field area seemed high, but after removing the four spiritual crops and deducting the costs of labor, seeds, and so on, it was actually average.

Fishing production, in turn, has been affected in a number of ways and has declined severely.

“In the future, this area will just be a matter of calculating gross income, expenses and net profit.”

“And then each year ringing up and down from the previous year because of what circumstances led to that.”

Lu Changsheng said.

Don’t think it’s necessary to make things so complicated in this area.

“Understood, husband.”

Lu Miaoyun nodded her head in response.

Then he looked to Jean Lu Miaohuan for her to voice out a report.

Currently, the three major aspects of the family’s spiritual fields, spiritual medicines, and fishing products were under her unified responsibility.

As for the stores outside, the income from the cooperative business side is controlled by Lu Miaohuan.

The remaining puppet workshop, talisman making workshop, and wine brewing workshop were handled by Lu Xianzhi, Lu Ruyi, and Lu Quanzhen respectively.

“Currently the family has eleven stores, three talisman stores, two rice stores, two fishing stores, one elixir store, one elixir store, one magic weapon store, and one tavern.”

“The main profit is for the talisman store and the fishing pool, all other stores are operated outside in cooperative mode, with a total income of 30,593 spirit stones.”

“There are three other veins under his name, currently mining in cooperation with the Bai Family of Baibird Lake, the Kap Family of Xiaojing Mountain, and the Zhao Family of H玶牛山, with an estimated income of 1,100 spirit stones.”

“The Red Leaf Valley workshop market share becomes five thousand nine hundred and sixty-one spirit stones.”

Lu Miaohuan spoke out, holding the account book jade book.

“What is the percentage of talisman stores and what is the net profit?”

Hearing this, Lu Changsheng looked at Lu Miaohuan and inquired.

“The talismans take up more than 40% of the revenue at 13,566 spirit stones, and because of your second-order spirit talisman, husband, the profit is as high as 40% at 5,400 spirit stones.”

Lu Miaohuan said so.

“Huanhuan, in the future, it would be good to directly count expenses and profits in this area as well.”

Lu Changsheng said in a warm voice.

When he finished, he looked to his son and daughter and said, “You continue.”

“Father, at the moment, the Puppet Workshop, with thirteen puppet apprentices and sixty-one workers, has built a total of thirteen Walking Beasts No. 1, eleven Flying Eagles No. 1, and two humanoid puppets, with all the materials costing a total of two thousand eight hundred and thirty-two spirit stones.”

Lu Xianzhi got up and said.

“Well, let me know when you can skillfully build a humanoid golem.”

“Also, when it comes to talent development, it doesn’t matter if you spend more money as long as you have the talent for it.”

Lu Changsheng nodded and said so.

Beast No. 1, Bird of Prey No. 1, and Humanoid No. 1 were the three drawings he gave Lu Xianzhi to bring people to skillfully get started.

Subsequently, through these three types of puppets, they are constantly upgraded to create progressive puppets.

“Yes, Father.”

Lu Xianzhi answered with an arch and then sat down.

On the side, her daughter Lu Ruyi got up, her voice clear and crisp, “Father, at present, the talisman making factory mainly focuses on OEM, producing ordinary talisman paper and spirit ink for Green Bamboo Mountain, this year, a total of nine hundred and sixty-two sheets of ordinary talisman paper were produced, and one hundred and fifteen boxes of spirit ink were produced, with a total income of sixty-three Spirit Stones.”

“Oh, good for you, making money in your first year.”

When Lu Changsheng heard this, he couldn’t help but laugh.

However, this spirit stone income, if you deduct the cost of labor expenses, actually did not make any profit at all, and also belonged to the loss of money.

“Father, the Brewing Workshop has brewed a total of nine hundred and fifty pounds of White Jade Wine and four hundred and sixty pounds of Spirit Mulberry Wine this year.”

“These drinks consumed a total of four thousand nine hundred and twenty pounds of white corn, two thousand one hundred pounds of Spirit Mulberry Leaves, and the rest of the auxiliary ingredients cost a total of eight hundred and sixty-three Spirit Stones”

“If the drinks are all sold, the estimated revenue is one thousand four hundred spirit stones.”

At this time, Lu Quanzhen voiced his report.

“Well, that’s good, we’ll almost be able to break even and start making a profit next year.”

Lu Changsheng nodded as he listened to Lu Quanzhen’s words.

“Husband, today the family has a total of two hundred and forty-one people, three Foundation Establishment cultivators, three late Qi Refining cultivators, nineteen mid Qi Refining cultivators, and twelve early Qi Refining cultivators.”

“According to the clan’s rules, the clan encourages the birth of newborns in the family, and this year the clan has given birth to a total of thirty-three newborns.”

Xiao Yueju spoke out.

She was in charge of something relatively simple, counting the family sons and daughters, giving the family concubines, sons and daughters, and handing out rewards.

The main thing at the moment is to give out incentives for newborns.

“Well, good.”

Lu Changsheng nodded slightly.

Of these thirty-three newborns, apart from the eight he had given birth to, the remaining twenty-five were the third generation of the Lu family.

Through the system, he knew that none of the twenty-five people had spirit roots.

He didn’t care too much about that.

After all, these sons and daughters, with the exception of Lu Xianzhi, did not have spirit roots.

The probability of giving birth to a spiritual heir is very small.

On the contrary, when the children’s offspring reached twenty, the system didn’t even give the share money anymore, making Lu Changsheng slightly lose his mind.

He thought he would be able to rely on his son or daughter to swipe a crazy wave of portion money.

“This year’s family profit income is fifty-four thousand six hundred and eighty-eight spirit stones.”

After everyone had reported back, Ling Zixiao, holding a jade book with an elegant and dignified face, began to speak.

Her first sentence just came out, and it made everyone in the room startled, not realizing that her own family’s profitable income this year was actually so high.

“In addition to talismans, fishing products, mineral veins, store rentals, and the workshop market, the main income came from industry dumping, earning thirty-one thousand five hundred spirit stones.”

Ling Zixiao continued, “This year’s family expenditure is eighty thousand and six hundred and forty-nine spirit stones.”

“Among them, the purchase of the Kaplan family land, the expenditure of sixteen thousand spirit stones, the expenditure of twelve thousand spirit stones for the Green Cloud Sect’s offerings, and the expenditure of twelve thousand seven hundred and sixty spirit stones for the clan’s salaries and rewards.”

“The family’s guest ministers’ offerings spent one thousand two hundred spirit stones, and recruited apprentices, spirit farmers, and fishermen, one hundred and twenty-three people, for a total of one thousand eight hundred and thirty-nine spirit stones.”

“In terms of family construction, twenty-four thousand eight hundred and ninety-one spirit stones were spent on the family’s grand array; one thousand five hundred and sixty-one spirit stones were spent on fishing products; two thousand three hundred spirit stones were spent on spirit medicines; three thousand six hundred and ninety-two spirit stones were spent on workshops; twelve hundred and fifty-one spirit stones were spent on external purchases; and three thousand one hundred and fifty-two spirit stones were spent on favors and exchanges.”

Ling Zixiao’s face was elegant and dignified, her voice was clear and gentle, and she said without haste.

“Hiss!”

“So much spending this year!”

“A loss of more than ten thousand spirit stones!”

“Wouldn’t this be a loss of more than fifty thousand dollars if we hadn’t realized and dumped the estate!”

“This this this.”

In the council hall, all the concubines, sons and daughters, were stunned and frozen when they heard this.

I didn’t realize that after the establishment of Bihu Mountain in my family, I actually spent and consumed so much.

Not only them, but before, Lu Miaoyun, Lu Miaohuan, and even Lu Miaogao were stunned when they saw this spirit stone expenditure.

Because this expenditure, it’s too much.

“Oh, I didn’t realize there was so much spending this year.”

“But it’s also the case that the Kaplan Family Spiritual Land and the Family Grand Formation cost too much, so when next year begins and the family stabilizes, the expenditures in terms of labor and family construction decrease while the fishing products and workshops begin to make a profit, it will slowly get better.”

Seeing this, Lu Changsheng said with a light laugh.

He had been so accustomed to being generous with his money that he had no concept of it, and would not bother to calculate it carefully enough to know how much had been used.

And during this period, he personally also let the Kap family, Xiao Xi Yue to buy spiritual materials for himself, there are a lot of money to go to the private coffers, did not go to the family ledger.

Otherwise this expenditure is even more exaggerated.

Of course, this year he also earned a lot by selling second-order talismans, only that this income also went into his private coffers.

“You guys also need to work a little harder, the family money that I’ve saved up for my father over the years is pretty much spent.”

“If we keep losing money and can’t make ends meet, it will be difficult for the family to function.”

Lu Changsheng looked at Lu Pingan, Lu Xianzhi, Lu Ruyi and the other sons and daughters and continued.

“Father, now that the family is in the beginning stages of development, there are many places where the family needs to use money.”

“Our siblings are not yet able to generate income steadily, so you can make adjustments to reduce expenses on the family side, and then readjust later when the family’s situation stabilizes and gradually becomes profitable.”

At this time, Lu Quanzhen got up with a serious expression and looked at Lu Changsheng, slightly arching his hand and said in a deep voice.

In his opinion, although the expenses for the Family Grand Formation and the Kapitaka Spiritual Land were high, the salaries of these siblings in his family, including his own aunts, were also obviously too high.

“Father, the child thinks so too.”

Seeing this, Lu Pingan also hurriedly got up and said.

He knew that this kind of thing would easily cause discomfort in the hearts of his other siblings, or aunts, so as the eldest brother, he spoke up to share the pressure for Lu Quanzhen.

Seeing this, a few more sons and daughters got up and said this.

“Continue to maintain it this year, and if the family is still in serious loss next year and can’t make ends meet, I’ll consider that aspect.”

Lu Changsheng raised his hand, motioning for everyone to sit down, and spoke out.

“Yun’er, next year’s main expenditure, should be on talent cultivation, especially puppets and brewing, you can increase the recruitment of talents and cultivate them.”

“As for alchemy, talisman making, and array formation, these are in essence not in excess, if there is talent in the family, then cultivate it, if there is no talent in this area, there is no need to force it too much.”

Lu Changsheng spoke out to Lu Miaoyun.

In his opinion, relying on spiritual fields and fishery products alone, the medicinal garden would definitely not work.

These three can only be considered primary industries, for the basic disk of Mt. Baker.

If you want to make money, you still have to rely on the secondary sector, manufacturing.

In Lu Changsheng’s plan, when the puppet, brewing, this kind of secondary industry basic plate stabilized, realize profit, then almost can let the son and daughter go out.

Through the Red Leaf Valley Place Market, the family’s current stores, proceeds, and begins to expand for a tertiary industry.

“Yes, husband.”

Hearing this, Lu Miaoyun nodded her head in response.

This family assembly is mainly to let the concubines, children and daughters of the family have a general understanding of the current situation of the family.

Otherwise, these things, Lu Changsheng’s general arrangement for the family, had long been clear in her mind.

“Alright, do you guys have anything to say? Any suggestions, ideas for the family, you can mention them.”

Lu Changsheng looked at these concubines, sons and daughters and spoke out.

“Father, the child has something to say .”

Lu Quanzhen got up and said with an arch.

Indicates that the family situation is still somewhat diffuse and casual today, with all the children being more casual, selective in their studies and doing things.

It’s normal to have this kind of situation, but the family should have an arrangement in the clan rules, breaking through the fourth level of Qi Refining, or reaching the age, you have to start contributing to the family.

Especially when the family is in its infancy and cannot make ends meet, it is more important to let the family sons and daughters do their work and contribute to the family.

Moreover, his own family had spiritual fields, fisheries, and spiritual medicines within, and stores and minerals outside, so many things could be arranged.

Lu Changsheng looked at this son of his.

The other side had no problem saying that.

Just didn’t think much about sibling harmony.

After all, there are many sons and daughters in the family as Lu Quanzhen said, the spiritual root talent is average, no matter cultivation or do things, are not very interested.

“Quan Zhen, you do have a point in that regard.”

“But the matter of the Xiahou Demon Sins has only been over for more than a year, and there might be other Xiahou remnants who still pay attention to our family, so the matter of going out will be put aside for the time being.”

“As for the organization of the internal affairs of the family …”

Lu Changsheng said, looked at Lu Miaoyun and said, “Yun’er, the children of the family to the age of sixteen, have not yet broken through the fourth level of Qi Refining, are arranged affairs, affairs not only calculate the family contribution, and the annual calculation of the assessment, to determine the next year’s family salary.”

Since Lu Quanzhen had said this, he felt that the ethos did need to change.

After all, if there are more lazy sons and daughters, it will not only affect the family culture, others, but also let the serious son or daughter of the heart is not happy.

Although he could afford to raise it himself, now that the family was in its infancy, the ethos aspect had to be grasped without fail.

“Yes, husband.”

Lu Miaoyun nodded her head in response.
