"You... why are you looking at me like that? Did I say something wrong?"

When Luo Li was seen by Chen Daoxuan, she felt a little hairy, and she said angrily.

"Cough cough, Miss Luo's words are bad."

Chen Daoxuan coughed and cleared his throat, "Perhaps in the eyes of Senior and Miss Luo, the price of magic instruments is low, but we have already made money from you by selling them to you at this price.

So Miss Luo doesn't have to think that I lowered the price of magic weapons because I was afraid of you. "

Chen Daoxuan's businesslike appearance made Luo Li not sure how to answer.

"Okay! Since we are both satisfied with the price of the magic weapon, let's trade at this price."

The middle-aged shark made a decision.

Chen Daoxuan was afraid that the other party would regret it, so he nodded quickly and said, "Yes!"

After the initial cooperation intention was reached, the atmosphere between the two parties suddenly eased.

The middle-aged merman pointed at the merman woman next to him, and said with a smile: "This is my daughter Luo Li. From now on, she will represent my Luo clan and be responsible for the transaction of magical instruments between our two clans."

After speaking, the middle-aged merman gave Luo Li a look beside him.

Luo Li nodded knowingly, and slammed it from her waist, and a **** scale was buckled down by her.

"Human monk, this is the scale of my life. With it, you can contact me anywhere within ten thousand miles."

Luo Li said with a pretty face pale.

Taking the **** scale, Chen Daoxuan silently put it back into the storage bag.

"When we settle the clan, we will come to complete the transaction with you,"

The middle-aged merman looked at Chen Daoxuan quietly, "Human monk, when the time comes... I hope you don't lie to us."

"Don't dare!"

Chen Daoxuan bowed.

"That's good!"

After speaking, the middle-aged merman and the merman woman named Luo Li jumped into the water with a plop and disappeared.

Looking down from the sky.

The dark crowd of mermen under the sea gradually disappeared, and finally disappeared.

After half an hour.

The clansmen on the Canglong woke up one by one.

When the panicked clansmen gradually calmed down under the comfort of Chen Daoxuan, everyone drove the Canglong again and continued to move towards Shuanghu Island.

Twenty days later.

The Canglong returned to the deep-water port of Shuanghu Island safely, and there were no more accidents on the way.

......

Shuanghu Island, Changping County.

Chen's Ancestral Hall.

Chen's Ancestral Hall is not only the ancestral hall of the Chen family on Shuanghu Island, but also the highest power center of the family.

In the past three hundred years, the various forms of clan meetings presided over here have determined the rise and fall of the fate of the Chen family.

Chen Daoxuan sat in the original position of Chen Xianhe, looked down at the two rows of Chen clan people standing below, and couldn't help feeling emotional.

The Chen family is really poor.

There is a dignified immortal clan, but he is the only cultivator in the clan. It makes people laugh when he says it.

Shaking his head, he threw the distracting thoughts out of his mind.

Chen Daoxuan, who sits high on the patriarch's throne, said, "Because the patriarch needs to sit in the family shop in the Xiancheng of Guang'an Prefecture, I will temporarily take the position of the family patriarch in the future."

After speaking, Chen Daoxuan took out the black seal that symbolized the identity of the patriarch in front of everyone.

After everyone heard Chen Daoxuan's words, everyone was not surprised.

In their hearts, Chen Daoxuan, the only new-generation cultivator of the Chen family, was the perfect candidate for the future patriarch of the family.

Coupled with the old patriarch's advanced age, they were already mentally prepared for Chen Daoxuan to take over as the patriarch.

Everyone looked at each other, and after discussing in a low voice, they bowed their hands and said, "See you, the young patriarch!"

"Everyone is free."

Chen Daoxuan waved his hand.

"In the early years, because I concentrated on cultivation, I didn't participate much in family affairs, so I was not familiar with everyone, but in the future, I hope everyone can work together to assist me and develop my Shuanghu Island Chen Clan!"

After hearing this, Chen Zhi, the county magistrate of Changping County, who was ranked first in the right column, stood up, and took the lead in bowing his hands and saying, "I, the county magistrate of Changping County, will definitely cooperate with the young patriarch, rectify the family affairs, and develop the family!"

"Um."

Chen Daoxuan nodded in satisfaction.

Seeing this, Chen Liangyu, the former head of the copper mine in the first column on the left, was secretly annoyed.

Such a good opportunity to show loyalty was actually snatched up by Chen Zhi.

Thinking of this, Chen Liangyu was unwilling to be reconciled, and quickly said: "We, the copper mine, are also willing to follow the orders of the young patriarch!"

"Very good! I can see everyone's thoughts."

Chen Daoxuan said with a smile, "Right now, there are indeed a few important things for you to do."

Seeing everyone put on a look of listening intently.

Chen Daoxuan looked at the magistrate of Changping County and said, "Chen Zhi!"

"Subordinates are here."

Chen Zhi bowed and responded.

"My Chen family in Shuanghu Island, how many households are there in total?"

"The patriarch of the young master, there are 774 households with a total of 3,873 people in the Chen clan on Shuanghu Island. Among them, there are 597 households with a population of 2,987 in Changping County, and 177 households in each village with a population of 886 people."

"The population of the village is so small,"

Chen Daoxuan frowned, "How was the family's food problem solved?"

"Young patriarch, the food issue... In the past, the old patriarch bought food from Guang'an Prefecture to subsidize the clan."

Seeing Chen Daoxuan's unpleasant expression, Chen Zhi said cautiously.

"Then...what about the specific demographic structure of the family?"

Hearing this question, Chen Zhi was stunned for a while, and said with some uncertainty: "I dare to ask the young patriarch, what is the demographic structure?"

Chen Daoxuan knew that he actually said the words of his previous life in a hurry.

So he explained calmly, "It's the detailed division of the family population according to gender and age."

"This......"

Chen Zhi was sweating profusely and was at a loss.

He really doesn't know this question.

But it was obviously not the county magistrate's style to sit still, so he cupped his hands and said, "You young patriarch, the county government does not have statistics on the specific demographic structure of the family, but... as far as my subordinates know, my Chen family is young. The population has always been larger, and there are plenty of males."

Chen Zhi thought that Chen Daoxuan was worried about the shortage of Chen's men, so he emphasized the characteristics of Chen's sufficient men. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

Who knows that Chen Daoxuan was not happy when he heard this answer, but his heart became more and more heavy.

The abundance of males means that the female population is insufficient and the gender ratio of males to females is unbalanced.

This means that the Chen family cannot expand the family population in a short period of time.

The number of family members is directly related to the growth of the family cultivator group, which can be described as the lifeblood of the family.

Rubbing his swollen head, Chen Daoxuan finally knew how much pressure Chen Xianhe had put on himself over the years so that he could concentrate on cultivating and learning the artifact.

Ignoring this question, Chen Daoxuan continued to ask, "How many fields are there in the clan?"

Hearing this question, Chen Zhi breathed a sigh of relief: "Chief Patriarch, my Chen family has a total of 4,657 mu of fertile land."

"With so many fields, there are only 177 village households. Are the farmers able to cultivate it?"

"This......"

Chen Zhi wiped the sweat from her forehead, not knowing how to answer.

He couldn't say that most of the fields here belonged to wealthy families.

Even in the Xiuxian world, the problem of land annexation within the Xiuxian family has always existed.

Even the small Chen family has such a problem.

It's just that the monks are usually high, and they don't care about these issues at all.

If the mortal trouble is really serious, the monks will use their extraordinary power to forcibly smash the inherent class and redistribute the benefits.

Seeing that the other party couldn't answer, Chen Daoxuan continued to ask: "Then how big is the land area of ​​my Shuanghu Island, should your county magistrate know?"

"Belong to... subordinates don't know."

Feeling the increasing power of Chen Daoxuan, the county magistrate Chen Zhi didn't even dare to lift his head.
