With the passing of the Lantern Festival, the Spring Festival of Kwai Wei is also over. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The government will gradually resume work, and people will gradually return to work. It's not that no one has proposed to shorten the Spring Festival to seven days or something, so that the work can be more efficient.

However, this proposal was vetoed by Chen Tao, it has nothing to do with work, it has nothing to do with laziness, the Spring Festival is the Spring Festival, people have been busy for more than a year, so they can't let others have a good New Year? The Spring Festival is a traditional festival in China, representing the essence of Chinese cultural heritage, and Chen Tao also intends to further enhance its status and cultural heritage, shortening it to seven days, what is the difference between that and later generations.

In the end, all holidays have become a symbol, and the connotation of the festival has completely faded, so can Huaxia still be regarded as Huaxia, and can Huaxia people still be regarded as Huaxia people?

Fortunately, the proposal to shorten the holiday season was only the brainstorm of some people who had a brain twitch. Not only Chen Tao couldn't pass here, but he couldn't pass from others, and finally returned to silence.

Compared with that matter, today's quarterly procurement is what Chen Tao needs to care about. Originally, it was supposed to start purchasing during the Spring Festival, but considering that everyone was going to celebrate the New Year, it was postponed until the day after the Lantern Festival.

The key is not how much the amount of this purchase has increased, but in this new procurement list, the purchase share of the sect has actually begun to appear. Not only the Dunjia Sect, but also the Lang Evil Palace and the Taiping Sect, and even the Chilian Sect all have procurement lists submitted.

"What's going on?" Chen Tao called Zhang Yan, Yu Ji, Jia Xu and Liu Xin over and asked.

"As you can see, our Taiping Sect has also started to make profits since the beginning of this year, so we have spare money to trade, that's all." Zhang Yan was the first to answer, after all, the person in front of him was the previous generation of the Taiping Sect Master, even now, he and Zhang Ning's status in the Taiping Sect was transcendent.

"It's the same on our side!" The other three also replied in unison.

Hearing this, Chen Tao couldn't help but sigh that when China was established in the past, the members of the sect could no longer be involved in politics. Fortunately for Chilianmen, Dunjiamen, and Langxie Palace, the Taiping Sect had 20 million followers at that time, but after the reform, it was reduced to 5,000.

These 5,000 people are all devout believers, and after the reform of the sect, they also cultivated and enlightened the Tao devoutly, and rarely asked about mundane matters. What surprised Chen Tao the most at that time was that Zhang Yan should have been the most talented existence in the Taiping Sect, but he did not intend to give up his faith and continue to become a leader, but chose to inherit the identity of the new sect leader of the Taiping Sect and silently guard the Taiping Sect.

You must know that before the incident, he was just a bandit, and later he only started under the guise of the Yellow Turban Army. Unexpectedly, in the years after the cataclysm, he really became a devout believer. and Guan Hai are in charge of the construction and development of the sect, and it seems that they have been in charge of the construction and development of the sect for five or six years.

Not only the Taiping Sect, but also several other sects were told that they could not go out, so many shallow believers withdrew. The withdrawal of these shallow believers has also greatly reduced the income of several sects. After all, before this, the funds of these sects mainly came from donations from believers.

After the reforms, the state will subsidize them, which is equivalent to the state supporting them. When necessary, they also have to provide manpower to support the country's war, and the two sides are considered to be in a complementary state. In fact, through this method, the state has tied up religion to prevent people from interfering in politics by saying things about religion.

However, recently, perhaps I felt that the pressure of the sect was a little great, so I appropriately relaxed some requirements.

Mainly since he began to worship the gods and Buddhas, Chen Tao also needed several sects to guide the beliefs of the Chinese people. Therefore, the sect is allowed to develop lay believers, and these believers do not join the sect, are not bound by the sect's creed, and of course cannot learn the deepest things of the sect, and cannot get the support of the sect.

To say that it is a disciple is actually more presentable to say that it is a believer. The relationship between the believers and the sect is very vague, they believe in the teachings of the Taiping Sect, but they do not belong to the disciples of the Taiping Sect, and they have no loyalty to the Taiping Sect at all. For this part of the population, the state allows them to take the civil service examination.

As for the core disciples, as long as they have reached the Jindan stage of cultivation, then they can also take the civil service examination, but they must put the interests of the country first and must not endanger the interests of the country.

In the end, how many people will come out to take the civil service examination, Chen Tao does not know, there will be a civil service examination in July this year, and it will naturally be clear when the time comes.

What makes Chen Tao most curious now is that it hasn't been long since the policy was relaxed, and these sects that originally needed to be cultivated by the state actually had spare money to purchase, which was the fundamental reason why he called several of them in charge to inquire about the situation.

"What are the main aspects of profit?" Chen Tao knew that they were making profits, but what he was worried about was that several sects were making illegal profits, which would cause damage to the interests of the people or the country.

"I see, please rest assured, Your Majesty!" Liu Xin was the first to react, "Chilianmen is not a big sect, but the toxins refined are still a bit marketable. The toxicity of the toxin is fierce and pure, which is beneficial to cultivators who cultivate the "Quenching Soul Chapter" and the "Quenching Body Chapter", so they have made a lot of money. In addition, Elder Guo has recently developed a new toxin that can target the demons, which is more violent than before, which has also obtained a large amount of military purchases! In addition, Chilianmen also has some business in major cities, and has made some money! ”

"Our sect is similar, refining some pills for sale, because a new refining process has just been developed, the quality of many pills has reached the official level, but the cost is relatively low, so it has also been purchased by a lot of countries!" Yu Ji, the palace master of Lang Evil Palace, also said with a smile.

This is indeed not good news for Chen Tao, because the so-called official grades are those pill grades that he trades.

The quality is the same but the price is 30% cheaper, doesn't this mean that even if he gave a 20% discount to the country before, he actually made a 10% profit? But of course, everyone won't say anything, Chen Tao is not a saint, if the transaction doesn't take some advantage, why are you busy?!

"The sales of our sect's puppets and magic weapons are also good, and because of the personal relationships accumulated in the past, the ordinary business is relatively large, and it has also made a lot of money!" Zhang Yan also expressed his position.

"The subordinates are ashamed, they have made a slight achievement in the Fu Seal, and they have been bought by the military for a lot of money." Jia Xu replied.

It turns out that after losing the source of donations from believers earlier, there were military factories there to grab business, and with a sense of crisis, they went out to improve technology and carry out innovations, and finally achieved today's results.

The key is still ordinary business, it is said that the quality of the talismans, puppets, pills and new magic weapons they sell is slightly better than that of state-run stores, and the price is also slightly lower, so it is gradually recognized by the people, so they also make a lot of money.

Sure enough, under the market competition, the progress of the private sector is indeed changing with each passing day. Chen Tao didn't have anything to say, so after a few words of encouragement, he handed them what they wanted.

At the same time, he also called the person in charge of the military factory and warned them about it. If you don't work hard, I'm afraid that in the future, ordinary business will be completely taken up by several sects and even some other institutions! (To be continued.) )
