Chapter 211: Hundred Cities Firm
Half a month later, sixty percent of the high-level leaders of the Heavenly Saint Sect gathered in the main hall of the sect, several elders of the general affairs hall, the elders of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, the elders of the Gong Transmission Pavilion, the elders of the law enforcement hall, and the heads of various departments, except for the necessary personnel on duty, have basically arrived.
"Everyone, be quiet, today Master Lin has summoned you to discuss the direction of the sect's development in the next few years, or even decades, and now I will preside over the meeting.
Now to discuss the first point, on the issue of the disciples of the sect, in recent years, the number of disciples of the sect has increased to more than 30 every year, and many people have mastered important positions in the sect before they have been seated, because the sudden death of the sect has brought a lot of losses to the sect.
Therefore, after discussing with the General Affairs Palace, it was decided to officially launch the retirement system, open the vein condensation disciples, retire at the age of eighty, ordinary disciples can choose to return to the mortal people or stay in the sect, important positions, special positions, know the core secrets of the sect, such as the person in charge of Qianling Wine, technicians, can be postponed for three years, but they must stay in the mountain gate, Gongming City, these two places, the sect will give honor.
The Purple Mansion monk is scheduled to retire at the age of one hundred and eighty, and after retirement, he has two places to go, one is to choose freely, whether to go to a mortal village or town, and the other is to work as a teacher at the Mountain Gate Academy, or in the mission hall.
The mission hall is a newly established institution of the sect, and retired disciples can register their names there to teach and teach disciples with low cultivation, and the disciples have to pay the merit points of the sect, and the specific price is determined by themselves, but the price must be clearly marked, do you have any opinions?"
Zhang Mingtang presided over the meeting on behalf of Lin Xiao, before the Tianluo City Immortal Ascension Conference, disciples were accepted once every three years, and most of these disciples did not break through the Purple Mansion, so as time went by, more and more people sat down, and Lin Xiao had officially launched a retirement plan.
No one opposes this retirement plan, the capable are up, the weak are the rules, this weak also includes age, you are old, physical strength is not good, then change to a young one.
"Since there is no objection, then I will continue, the next thing is related to the personnel, and it is also related to the wealth of the sect, as of today, there are more than six thousand disciples of the sect, and there are more than sixty monks of the Purple Mansion, except for the eight hundred people in the south of the Chen Kingdom and the two hundred people in the Black Wind Valley who monitor the wilderness and the seven hundred people who have reached retirement age, most of the remaining more than four thousand people are concentrated in various spiritual mountains.
The consumption of many people is large, just the Purple Mansion Monks, the expenditure of the Daogang Monks is close to 800,000 Xuanjing a year, especially the pills needed above the Purple Mansion, and the many third-order and above pills are required, and the outsourcing has reached more than sixty percent, which is basically purchased by foreign merchants in Gongming City, and the price is expensive.
Therefore, the sect has decided to set up a firm, called the Baicheng Firm, which will be composed of fifteen Purple Mansion monks and five hundred disciples of the Open Vein Condensation Vein, to sell and purchase resources for the sect, and you can sign up freely after the meeting, as long as you are not holding an important position."
Then Zhang Mingtang said about the business name, since the evacuation of Baiyu City, the Heavenly Saint Sect has lost the procurement channels of high-level resources, and now it all depends on the purchase of the business name of Gongming City, but the business name also needs to eat and make profits, so it is in urgent need of a business name belonging to the Heavenly Holy Sect itself.
This business Lin Xiao decided to hand over to Bai Ziyu, and Bai Ziyu's cultivation had also reached the tenth layer of the Purple Mansion, and he had been in Baiyu City for decades, and he had rich experience, and Lin Xiao was also relieved to teach him.
This meeting is these two major events, and there are many other small things, mainly some personnel rotation and the like, and the Purple Mansion monks sitting in Lingshan in various places must be rotated to prevent the phenomenon of forming gangs and factions.
Secondly, there is also the problem of financial resources, the production and sales of Qianling wine are restricted, but the sect cannot stop expanding financial resources, there are more and more Zifu Daogang monks, if you don't hurry up to open up new financial resources, sooner or later there will be an imbalance between income and expenditure, so you must prepare in advance.
Now the alchemist team of the Heavenly Saint Sect has surpassed the level of the Danyang Sect, but the two sects have to avoid a price war, which is a matter of two losses, so the profit on the pill is not very large, except for the fourth-order pill.
Then it has to be expanded from the rest of the aspects, talismans, weapons, and arrays This is a must, and the other one is the Royal Beast, the Heavenly Saint Sect and the Ten Thousand Beasts Gate of the Heavenly Wolf Country have more than twenty years of cooperation, and after evacuating the White Jade City, Lin Xiao has already placed an order for a batch of demon beast cubs for Titor.
And the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect has already promised to help the Heavenly Saint Sect cultivate the beast master talents, relying on his own exploration, many years have passed, and the Heavenly Saint Sect's beast master has not exceeded the third-order level, so he can only spend money to hire someone to cultivate.
After the talents are in place, the Heavenly Saint Sect not only has to breed demon beasts by itself, but also has to sell them to the outside world, and now the development of Lingshan in the states of Lu State is becoming more and more mature, coupled with the general stable environment, there is no war, and each sect has accumulated a lot of money and began to develop towards the foundation of the sect, and the demon beast is one of them.
For example, a demon beast with great potential that can grow to the sixth order, may be able to buy it as long as 100,000 Xuanjing during the cub period, and then at the price of 10,000 or 20,000 Xuanjing a year, the demon beast can be cultivated normally, maybe it can grow to the fourth or fifth order level in one or two hundred years, and the lifespan of the demon beast can be much longer than that of humans.
The meeting was held for a day, Lin Xiao's will was implemented, and now the number of senior monks of the Heavenly Saint Sect is increasing, but there will be no characters who can challenge Lin Xiao's authority, and Lin Xiao has never thought about engaging in any democracy, it can be regarded as a hall of words, but Lin Xiao will not be stubborn, he only grasps the general direction of the strategy, and the specific things are implemented by the people below.
In the evening, Lin Xiao found Bai Ziyu and explained his establishment of the Baicheng business, after Bai Ziyu came back from Baiyu City, he was basically in the process of cultivating, and he also exchanged more than 20 years of merit points for a local-level exercise, his strength increased greatly, and his combat power was among the best in the Purple Mansion of the Heavenly Saint Sect.
"Ziyu, do you have any thoughts about the company?"
"Back to the master, I have already understood the meaning of the sect, the hundred cities will be based on the small and medium-sized forces of Xiuxianfang City, the city, to avoid a big city like Baiyu City, so that even if something happens, we can ensure our own safety and protect our own interests."
"Very good, it seems that you are not in vain in Baiyu City, it is enough to be in charge alone, the business name should be based on Gongming City, don't go if your strength exceeds Gongming City, when to go, it depends on how the strength of the sect has developed, after Bai Zichen breaks through, I will let him assist you, and the business name is based on you"
"Thank you for the trust of the master, Ziyu will never live up to the trust of the sect"
"In the future, the business will have a variety of uses, selling Qianling wine, white fog tea, buying low and selling high, collecting high-level spiritual objects, and becoming an intelligence agency on the surface, when the time comes, Zhou Zhengzhen will install night owl personnel in the firm, you have to assist him, I can also guarantee that he will not interfere in business matters"
"I will cooperate well with Senior Brother Zhou"
"Okay, then I'll give you another authority, after someone from the Purple Mansion Monk signs up, you can pick it, and when the time comes, it will be handed in with the plan report of the firm, and the General Affairs Hall will also cooperate with you."
Lin Xiao nodded, seeing that Bai Ziyu was already able to take charge on his own, he decided to delegate power again, and leave all the business matters to him to deal with.
Within a few days of the sect conference, Bai Ziyu recruited fourteen Purple Mansion monks, and there were five hundred disciples, many of whom had returned from Baiyu City, and there were also some Zhantang personnel, and the strength of the firm must be guaranteed.
The company was listed in Komeito City, set up its headquarters, and invited the directors of large and small businesses in Komeito City, and there was cooperation between the major companies, and there was a place to rely on each other in the future.
Half a month later, Bai Ziyu left the Heavenly Saint Sect with the first hundred people, and went to open up trade routes and build channels for the business.
Lin Xiao still chose intermittent retreat, and after three years, there was no breakthrough in cultivation, but he was still out of the customs, dealing with the accumulated things, and controlling the general direction of the sect.
Three months after leaving the customs, a major event happened in the Pure Yang Palace, the Pure Yang Palace cultivated a second Lingguang monk, so the Pure Yang Palace decided to hold a promotion ceremony and hold a celebration banquet for the new Lingguang monk, and all the states of Lu Guo had to send people to celebrate, and the scale was the same as the last time Lu Yan's birthday hall, and the top five sects in Tianyun Prefecture had to send people to participate.
Lin Xiao naturally knew that the Pure Yang Palace wanted to use this to show its muscles and deter some forces, but Tianyun Prefecture really didn't dare to refuse, and he had to participate, and the face of the boss of the Lu Guo Sect still had to be given.
Five days later, the five sect masters of Tianyun Prefecture gathered in Danyang Sect, and Lin Xiao had also received specific information from the night owl from Yujing City, the Lingguang monk who broke through this time was called Lu Muyang, and he was also a disciple of the Lu family, who broke through a year ago, at the age of four hundred and fifty years old, if this age breaks through, the probability of further reaching the Divine Void Period is already very small, but for the Pure Yang Palace, it is still of great significance, at least within four or five hundred years, there is no shortage of spiritual light monks in the Pure Yang Palace.
"Lu Muyang's success, our Tianyun Prefecture accounts for at least five points of credit, think about it, it's really unwilling."
As soon as he arrived at the convergence of the Danyang Sect, Zhao Minghai of Tianhaimen started to complain, Tianyun Prefecture has been offering for more than fifty years, and has provided tens of millions of Xuanjing for the Pure Yang Palace, which is all the hard work of Tianyun Prefecture.
"Brother Zhao said cautiously, I don't dare to say this in Yujing City, and Chunyang Palace will have to trouble us at that time."
"I don't know, but I'm unwilling in my heart, when will we be able to get out of the control of the Pure Yang Palace?"
Zhao Minghai sighed and said, in the past few decades, the strength of the Pure Yang Palace has skyrocketed, the reason is that there are Tianyun Prefecture and Chen Qinggu's offering, the two families give him 700,000 Xuanjing a year, which is a huge amount of money after decades, plus the Pure Yang Palace occupies a large area in the north of Chen Kingdom, which is the richest area in Chen Kingdom, so the financial resources of Pure Yang Palace have increased greatly in recent years, and the annual income has increased by at least one million more than before.
With the financial income, you can increase the investment in the disciples, so in the past few decades, not only has there been one more Lingguang cultivator, but also three more Dao Gangs and dozens of Purple Mansions, and this is also the increase in the strength of the Pure Yang Palace Sect, and the vassal forces that follow them have also increased a lot of strength.
