The development of the sect is the first exercise, but it is also inseparable from money.

Yue Buqun said to He Yong: "We are hundreds of people who are overstretched, what are the businesses of the other major factions? ”

He Yong saw everyone's eyes over, straightened his back, and said slowly.

"The Shaolin faction is a big landlord, most of the land around Songshan is Shaolin, and there are dozens of farms in Henan, together with no less than 30,000 acres, all of which are owned by the Shaolin faction, unlike our Huashan is attached. ”

"Shaolin's lay disciples have opened a large number of martial arts halls, dart bureaus, carriage and horse shops, inns, etc. all over the country, and the money given to Shaolin every year will not be less, and where Shaolin disciples go, these lay disciples are entertained, which is really money-saving and trouble-saving. Income from ceremonies cannot be calculated, but it will not be less. ”

"Wudang is not much, the land held is slightly less than Shaolin, Wudang disciples cultivate more land everywhere, and some open a small Taoist temple, which can run a business. However, Wudang was valued by the Zhu Ming royal family, and had a great influence in the court and the government, and the large-scale legal affairs of the government at all levels were generally responsible for Wudang, which was a huge income. ”

"The Kunlun faction is located in the Western Regions, so it naturally controls the mid-end checkpoints of the Western Regions trade routes, guarding, supplying, and even directly participating in caravan trade, so that the Kunlun faction makes a lot of money, guarding this cornucopia, the Kunlun faction is not willing to participate in the disputes of the Central Plains martial arts at all. ”

"The beggars don't say much, as long as there is a bitter place, there is a beggar business, and these people who ask for food are richer than most gangs. ”

"Emei and Qingcheng, both have one or two thousand acres of land, the two businesses in the land of Bashu, all aspects of competition, mountain goods, water transportation, tea house wine, Shuijin passers-by sitting on the ground to collect money, tea horse ancient road caravans, etc., the two families have to fight every year, finally take care of the face of the famous faction, not completely tear the skin. In recent years, Qingcheng has been weak, and although it has conceded a lot of shares, it is not bad for money. ”

"Liaodong Tiejianmen operates ginseng mountain goods, Cangzhou Tiegunmen operates north-south currency, Fujian Wuyi faction operates tea, Guangdong Nanhai Jianpai operates seafood iron materials, etc., all rely on local resources to operate, and do not have national influence. ”

"Our Huashan has also fallen to this point!" Yue Buqun shook his head regretfully.

"Yes, it turns out that among the Wuyue Sword Sect, only our Huashan has national influence, and the other four factions are just following a little light. He Yong lowered his head and said sadly.

"What happened to the other four factions now?"

"The Songshan faction has been ambitious in recent years, constantly developing shops and inns, testing the bottom line of Shaolin, strangely, Shaolin also endured, but Songshan did not go too far, the expansion in Henan basically stopped, and turned to the expansion of Zhili to the south. ”

"It was not about the Taishan faction, but for some reason the two factions had a dispute, some time ago the news came, the two sides have reached a settlement, Songshan stopped in the south of the Yangtze River and the west of Hongze Lake, Mount Tai in the north of the river. Now that the wind is faintly heard, the Songshan faction has reached into the green forest, and there is no news about the specific situation. ”

"Nan Zhili is such a place, with such great interests, why haven't you heard that there is a famous martial arts sect?" Ning Zhong asked puzzled.

"The power of the Nanzhili government is too great, since the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, it has directly sent troops to sweep through, the local sects are scattered, some simply voted for the government, and the other factions do not touch the mold of the imperial court. ”

"However, the master, since Songshan Taishan has entered, it seems that the government has not reacted violently, and we in Huashan cannot let go of this piece of fat. He Yong made a suggestion to Yue Buqun after explaining.

"Well, let's look at it first, it won't be just us Huashan who have this heart, and the other factions are estimated to react soon. Yue Buqun was thoughtful.

He Yong waited for a while and continued to talk about the Wuyue Sword Sect.

"Taishan is the most comfortable, even the field management is not very careful, relying on the Grand Canal, the shops have opened a lot, the profits are huge, and they have a few gold mines in Zhaoyuan, there is really no shortage of money. He Yong said enviously.

"Beiyue Hengshan, on the surface, is the most poor, only a few hundred acres of land under the mountain to make a living, but every year Hengshan marries more than ten lay disciples, and the next marriage is martial arts Junjie, local wealthy families, these forces are added together, firmly control Shanxi, even the power of the Demon Sect in Shanxi is extremely weak, this group of nuns is not simple!"

"The southern part of Huguang is Hengshan, and there are many disciples of local clans in the faction, and there are many connections with the Miao and Yao ethnic groups in the west. Hengshan rarely set foot in the north of the Yangtze River, and Wudang has always been peaceful, but at ease. ”

"In this way, our Huashan is in a weak position in this regard, and even the other sword sects of Wuyue can't compare?" Yue Buqun said with a frown.

"Boss, in the past, our business in Huashan was all over the country, and we didn't care too much about Shaanxi, after all, at that time, these gangs were extremely obedient, and they didn't dare to grin their teeth, so they let this go and didn't manage it much, and now it has exposed the defects that our basic plate is not stable enough, hasn't the boss decided to sort out the order in Shaanxi? We are collecting intelligence, and we will start implementing it after the year. ”

"Well, the Green Forest forces can't be let go, this time it's a lesson, if we don't occupy it, others will occupy it, and in the end it will become a constraint. ”

"Yes, sir. Everyone clasped their fists in response.

After the meeting, Yue Buqun left Li Bushan alone, and explained: "Recruit new disciples next year, arrange for one person to go to the capital, where many children who have been purified, pick a few with good qualifications, loyal and honest, filial piety and virtuous, and bring them back to Huashan, if you have a sense of belonging to Huashan, bring his whole family over." ”

"Purifying? That's the eunuch, this can't be used indiscriminately, it's taboo. Li Bushan reminded.

"Those who have official positions are eunuchs, and there are tens of thousands of pure people in the capital, all of whom are palace slaves, working in various prison temples, working hard, and being discriminated against, most of them are barely mixed up, and many people die every year, which is very miserable. ”

"Ah, I see, if that's the case, this disciple will be easy to recruit. ”

"This matter should not be publicized, arrange the person in charge, the tone is important, bring back the children, let them live alone, do not mix with other people, but the welfare of life and martial arts should be treated the same. ”

"Yes, sir, I will arrange it. ”

Recruiting pure body disciples, of course, was prepared for that divine skill, Yue Buqun thought about it for a long time, and decided to make the best use of this divine skill.

After all, martial arts exercises are dead, as long as people can be controlled, this exercise can play a positive role and escort the development of Huashan.

Yue Buqun was confident that in his lifetime, he would be able to firmly control the people who cultivated this divine skill, and arrange checks and balances, as for the affairs of his descendants after his death, Yue Buqun would not be able to consider it.
