Chapter 551
"It seems that the master trusts him very much!"
When the conversation between Zhang Xin and Xue Yunfan ended, and the latter left satisfied, Ye Ruo asked Zhang Xin curiously: "Master, your Six Heavens Thunder God, until now, it has only been shown to that Yuan Kongbi and your master." But for this Governor Xue, he is also unreserved. ”
She knew how cautious her master was, and Zhang Xin didn't even hide the sect law from the Six Heavens Thunder God.
But just now, Zhang Xin showed it to Xue Yunfan.
"It's not that I trust him better than Senior Brother, but I don't have a choice. ”
Zhang Xin's voice contained a bit of helplessness.
He knew very well that although he already had a little prestige in the Sun Moon Xuanzong, it was because it was the first time he was the head of an upper house and the first time he was in charge of the army. The people of Tianmang Mountain actually lacked trust in him.
So now, even if he gets the authorization of the Tianzhu Conference, he still needs Xue Yunfan's full cooperation.
This person has deep roots in the upper courtyard of Tianmang Mountain, and his power tentacles have extended to all aspects.
With this person's cooperation, he will be able to do whatever he does.
Correspondingly, if Xue Yunfan is bent on going against him, then he Zhang Xin doesn't want to do anything.
"But this Governor Xue really doesn't need to be suspicious. But if this person has the slightest disagreement with the sect, the situation in the Tiandong Fourth Courtyard does not know how much it will deteriorate. The only thing I am dissatisfied with is this act of embezzling public funds every year and manipulating the price of drugs in the Northland. It's a stopgap measure, but—"
Zhang Xin said this, but suddenly paused.
Since sixteen years ago, Xue Yunfan has used Tianmang Mountain's 'Xuanxin Grass', 'Jiuqu Vine' and other elixirs that occupy ninety percent of the output of the Northland, as well as Tianmang Mountain's huge financial resources to hoard Juqi and manipulate the price of medicine, so as to obtain a large amount of income.
And Xue Yunfan's move, although it was the acquiescence and permission of the six heavenly pillars in the past, it was really not a good thing for the Sun Moon Xuanzong.
But these complaints, it was useless for him to say to Ye Ruo.
Shaking his head, he turned in the direction of the Fighting Division.
The current master of Tianmang Mountain's fighting division has not yet stepped down at this time, and his appointment has not yet reached Zhang Xin's hands.
But since Zhang Xin had obtained the authority to unify the army granted by the Tianzhu Conference, he was already qualified to meddle in the military affairs of Tianmang Mountain.
Just as he expected, with Xue Yunfan's support, he could do everything in Tianmang Mountain smoothly.
Although the current head of the Fighting Division is dissatisfied with Zhang Xin's forcible replacement of the position, and his 'impatientness' to take over the Fighting Division this time. But without saying a word, not only did he transfer all the information and documents of the Fighting Division in recent years, but also cooperated with the major branches in advance and issued a convening order.
Afterwards, he personally accompanied Zhang Xin to inspect the personnel and horses of the various departments under the Fighting Division and the Mountain Patrol Division, as well as the armament situation, to help him control the situation.
As Xue Yunfan said, the upper courtyard of Tianmang Mountain is at the bottom of the major upper courtyards of the Sun Moon Xuanzong in terms of combat power, but in terms of financial resources, it will definitely be in the top ten in the Sun Moon Xuanzong.
There are a total of sixteen towns in the Fighting Division and the Mountain Patrol Division of the Upper House Headquarters, with 1,210 spiritual masters and 24 divine masters.
In terms of manpower alone, these sixteen towns are seriously short of staff, and the number of divine masters is also insufficient, and even the ratio of two or four to one cannot be achieved.
But the equipment of these spirit masters and divine masters is really luxurious, and even surpasses the eight halls of the Doubu! Almost everyone has at least one magic weapon of the same level as themselves in their hands, with three to five magic weapons above the third level, and two to four spiritual costumes. In addition, there are all kinds of elixirs that can temporarily increase combat power and restore mana.
However, Zhang Xin also went to test them one by one. It was found that the combat power of these people was only an ordinary level, even if they added the equipment in their hands, the overall strength was still weaker than that of the Eight Halls of the Doubu, which was only equivalent to sixty percent of the latter.
This is also reasonable, these people have such a luxurious spiritual weapon in their hands, if their strength is also outstanding, how can they stay in this Tianmang Mountain Upper Courtyard? They should have been selected to the Eighth Hall of the Dou Ministry, or transferred to some more promising positions.
What is gratifying is that these people have experienced extremely strict training and are familiar with the various standard formations of the Sun Moon Xuanzong.
This is obviously Xue Yunfan's work, and the current master of fighting and patrolling the mountain has also put a lot of effort into it.
Then in the warehouses in the back mountain of Tianmang Mountain, there are still ten Japanese-type warships, thirty moon-type warships, and four mountain attack ships.
The first two are brand new ships that have never been used. The latter is a little old, but the condition of the ship's hull is good, the magic circle is perfect, and the equipment is complete, as long as there are fifteen-level divine vein stones, enough top-level divine masters or holy spirits, it can be used.
And in this storehouse there are nine of these stones.
In addition, there are also eight mountain-attacking crossbows, forty Yang Flame Divine Mirrors, and forty Ice Spirit Divine Mirrors. and various types of crossbows, nearly 4,200.
"That's not all, but that's not all. In the back hall of the council hall, there are all kinds of tenth-level elixirs used to restore injuries and mana, a total of one hundred and twenty-nine jars, seventy-three thousand tenth-level talismans of various kinds, seventy-nine eighth-level spiritual costumes, and four hundred and sixty fourth-level spiritual costumes, all of which are from the private funds raised by Tianmang Mountain over the years. ”
When Zhang Xin was shocked by the materials in these warehouses, Xue Yunfan also appeared around him at the right time.
This one's eyes were proud and smug.
"I know that for more than ten years, you Heavenly Pillars have been dissatisfied with my misappropriation of public funds to resell elixirs and manipulate the price of medicine in the Northland, thinking that this move may corrupt the style of the Sun Moon Xuanzong. But all these years of income, I, Xue Yunfan, have not used a penny on myself. All in all, I, Xue Yunfan, look up to the sky, and bow down to others!"
Zhang Xin couldn't help but have complicated eyes, and glanced at this person. I thought that this person's courage was really good.
Strictly speaking, this time, it was he who seized part of Xue Yunfan's authority through the Tianzhu Conference. But after getting enough 'assurance' from him to reassure him, he didn't do any constraints, and even opened everything in Tianmang Mountain to him without reservation.
Zhang Xin also believed that what he said was true, and there was no reservation about the income from the resale of elixirs in Tianmang Mountain over the years.
"Manipulating the price of medicine? This seat is wondering, you Tianmang Mountain has already raised so many spirit masters, why can you still have such a rich arsenal of armaments?"
Zhang Xin pretended to know for the first time, and then frowned and said, "But this is forbidden, right? Governor Xue has not been detained by the Second Hall of Criminal Law Precepts, which is really a miracle." Could it be that this is also from the authorization of the six Heavenly Pillars sixteen years ago?"
At that time, Xue obtained the power to self-fund. If you don't have enough resources, how can you recruit spirit masters? ”
Xue Yunfan didn't know Zhang Xin's true identity, and explained casually: "The Tianzhu who took over after also had a lot of protection for Tianmang Mountain and covered it up. ”
When Zhang Xin heard this, he couldn't help twitching the corners of his lips, he was also one of the heavenly pillars who covered up on behalf of Xue Yunfan and turned one eye open and closed one eye.
"I see! Since the Tianzhu authorization document is not prohibited. However, this matter still needs to be stopped in moderation! As soon as this evil example is opened, the rest of the upper courts are like Tianmang Mountain, and the disaster of the Sun Moon Xuanzong is not far away. ”
Even if you think about it with your toes, you can know that if the major upper courts have their own financial resources, then their independence will definitely increase greatly.
One of the causes of the rebellion of the Tiandong Fourth Courtyard today is that after the invincible death of the thunder god Jane, the sect gave special preferential treatment to the Tiandong Fourth Courtyard and left a part of the local spiritual tax to the Tiandong Fourth Courtyard for use.
On the one hand, it is to repair the various spiritual mountains and spiritual veins of the Tiandong Fourth Courtyard, and on the other hand, it is to appease the remnants of the sects of the Tiandong Fourth Courtyard and compensate for the casualties.
At that time, the Tianzhu Conference wanted to use this move to win the hearts of the people of the Tiandong Fourth Academy. This move has indeed had an effect, and now there are nearly half of the disciples in the East Fourth Academy, and their hearts are towards this mountain.
But in the end, this fund was also used by the rebellion of the Tiandong Fourth Academy, and became the foundation of their secret cultivation of power.
And manipulating drug prices is not without risk. The funds used by Xue Yunfan are the spiritual taxes collected from all over Tianmang Mountain, and once they lose, the disaster will be not small.
Even if Xue Yunfan had the authorization documents in hand, he still couldn't escape the responsibility of the sect.
And Xue Yunfan may be able to clean himself, but are the people under his hands as clean as him? Manipulating drug prices is not something he can do alone.
"Picking stars makes adults far-sighted and admirable. But in fact, if the rebellion in the Tiandong Fourth Courtyard can be calmed down, Xue is unwilling to take this risk. ”
Xue Yunfan laughed at himself, and his voice was cold: "Xue also has his own success in this matter, and there is no need to pick stars to make adults worry about me." ”
Zhang Xin heard this person's displeasure, and couldn't help frowning slightly. But after that, he didn't say a word after all, and he didn't plan to persuade him anymore.
He hoped that this person, as he said, would be able to take the initiative to end the embezzlement of public funds after the rebellion in the Tiandong Four Courtyards ended.
Otherwise, sooner or later, there will be another disaster in Mangshan.
The conversation between the two was unpleasant, but Xue Yunfan didn't seem to have any trouble, and still went all out to assist Zhang Xin to gather Taoist soldiers, prepare cloud ships, and prepare various materials.
About three days later, an official document was sent from the sect, appointing him as the master of Tianmang Mountain. And at the same time, there was also a battle order from the sect, which was also sent to him.
At this moment, he is justifiable, he has the right to control all military affairs of Tianmang Mountain, and after the rebellion of the Tiandong Fourth Court, he can fully command all the wars against the Tiandong Fourth Court on the Tianmang Mountain side, and can recruit all the spirit masters above the fifth level in the upper court of Tianmang Mountain.
However, Benshan's side is not completely at ease with him. In addition to ordering Xue Yunfan to be in charge of all logistics affairs, he also appointed the second kind Xie Yuanji as his deputy commander. In a few dozen days, reinforcements from the Benshan side will arrive. As the patriarch said, there are a total of thirty towns, and the combat power can be equivalent to eighty percent of the mountain.
