As the future of Huashan, the number of outer disciples is growing the fastest.

In the promotion ceremony just after the New Year's competition this year, 42 people in the Zhizhi class completed the fourth layer of Huashan Mental Method, and all completed the required studies, and were promoted to outer disciples, bringing the number of outer disciples to 74.

Among Yue Buqun's most valued disciples, eight of them were promoted to the outer gate this year, and the other five were still in the Zhizhi class because they were still young.

At present, there are 111 students in the children's class, including five in the basic class, which urgently needs to be supplemented by this year's freshmen, 24 in the initiation class, 21 in the Mingdao class, and only 11 in the enlightenment class due to the increase in classes, and the accumulation of students in the Zhizhi class has reached 50.

Among them, there are 37 trainees in Yan'an, and 10 new people have contributed to the outer gate this year, and the effect of the peripheral base set up many years ago has begun to appear.

And under Yue Buqun's instructions, Li Yigen recruited twenty fifteen or sixteen-year-old military household youths as handyman disciples in the station, and awarded them with rough and shallow internal skills and corresponding swordsmanship and swordsmanship, and they are expected to become third-rate masters in ten years, which is also a big supplement.

Yue Buqun asked the Yan'an garrison to continue to recruit military disciples as handymen in small batches, train them for a few years, and stay in Huashan for another two years, accept the teaching of the Huashan faction, and have the ideological understanding that they are Huashan people, so they can be sent to do things.

The general affairs department finally got rid of the identity of a loser and began to make money.

At the beginning of the year before last, Ning Zhong listened to Yue Buqun's description, and Zhu Yixin, Liu Dele and many parties totaled, opened a large grocery store at the foot of the Jade Girl Peak - Huashan Department Store, clothing, food, housing and transportation are involved, the goods are exquisite and rich, good quality and low price, once launched, it is greatly favored by Huashan disciples and their families, and they have to buy and buy, the goods are out of stock from time to time, and Liu Dele, who is a part-time manager, launches the list of goods in time and accepts reservations.

There is a restaurant built next to Huashan Department Store - food first, and business is even more booming.

Shiwei first invited two chefs from Xi'an, the craftsmanship is very high, and the taste of the dishes far exceeds the restaurant in Huayin County, which seduces the greedy insects of the young men on the mountain, and they must come to satisfy their hunger once or twice a month.

There are high-income groups such as Huashan inner and outer disciples, ushered in to call friends and friends, this banquet is inevitable, food first daily business continues, and the attendance rate is rarely less than seventy percent.

At the end of last year, the turnover was 12,000 and the net profit was 5,000.

At the end of this year, the turnover was 16,000 and the net profit was 7,000, which was more than the profit of six or seven shops outside.

The reason for this is that it has a monopoly advantage, customers are generous and stable, the backlog of goods is small, the settlement is timely, the freight is reduced and the store rent is reduced, and the loss is reduced.

Of course, the disciples of the Huashan faction have also received certain discounts, saved a lot, and gained a lot of convenience, which can be regarded as a win-win situation, and everyone is happy.

The External Relations Department has also enjoyed bumper harvests year after year, with the number of its own shops increasing by seven to 56, and the number of commercial banks accounting for the cadre shares increasing by six, bringing the total number to 62, and the number of fields attached to Huashan has reached 30,000 mu.

Cao Yihui was in charge of overseas trade, which had made four trips back and forth from Nanyang, making a profit of nearly 10,000 taels each time, and the money was not sent back to the mountains, except for the purchase of a sea ship and the corresponding foreign trade products, which were intended to be used in Zhoushan.

According to Yue Buqun's request, Huashan will open another station in Zhoushan, build a shipyard, and train sailors.

Since last year, the disciples of the consulting department have been scattered to Songjiang Prefecture and the Zhoushan Islands to investigate the details of several pirates entrenched in the Zhoushan Islands, and the timetable for action has appeared on Yue Buqun's desk, and once Yue Buqun signs it, Zhoushan will become a testing ground for the new generation of disciples in Huashan.

Huayin's textile mills have also been very successful, but the momentum of growth is constrained by the cotton output in Shaanxi, and the Liaison Department has begun to cooperate with cotton farmers, bypassing the intermediate links, underwriting cotton farmers' cotton, and the deposit has been sent thousands of taels, and it is expected that in the coming year, the output of textile mills will increase exponentially.

Song Wen has proposed to open a branch factory in Nanzhili to expand production capacity with the help of Nanzhili's rich textile supply chain resources, and Yue Buqun has instructed the Commerce Section of the Ministry of Information to conduct an assessment.

Therefore, Huashan is extremely wealthy in terms of finances, and there is a surplus every year, so there is no need for Yue Buqun to worry about it.

Now, Yue Buqun's headache is the arrangement of the new disciples who have entered the outer sect, and the heads of each academy department have greeted them in advance, hoping to send a certain person into the department, Yue Buqun is delaying with unified considerations, these disciples are the main force of Huashan in ten years, and they need to be used carefully.

Yue Buqun wanted to leave all the good disciples in Taihua Hall and teach them himself, but as soon as he didn't have time, it was unfair to the various academies and departments, and he was prone to dissatisfaction, so he had to arrange these disciples evenly.

Taking into account the personalities of the disciples and the needs of each department, Yue Buqun considered it again and again, made personnel arrangements, and asked someone to send them to Huashan Academy after signing.

At this time, in the large classroom of the Zhizhi class of Huashan Academy, forty-two new disciples who had just been promoted to the outer gate gathered in one room, and everyone was elated, talking and laughing, and they all guessed whether they had entered their favorite department.

"Yaohua, you really don't choose Taihuatang? It is the closest place to the master, and if you get the guidance of the master, you will be used for a lifetime!" Zhang Aiming stabbed Lin Yaohua, who was sitting in the front row.

Lin Yaohua shook his head and did not explain.

Although Taihuatang is good, but as the highest authority in Huashan, it must be busy with affairs, and often have to be sent to deal with various affairs.

In addition to guarding the checkpoints of Huashan, this department mainly conquests with foreign countries, and the personnel of the department only concentrate on martial arts in peacetime, which is the most powerful armed force department in Huashan, and the acting minister is also the head, maybe he can also get the guidance of the head.

"The general affairs department you applied for will definitely pass, I heard that in addition to Chang Fengjiao's three girls, you are a boy who applied for the internal affairs department, and you will definitely pass. Lin Yaohua said to Zhang Aiming with a smile.

"It's best if you can pass, I can't beat you anyway, and it's not bad to make food for you. ”

Zhang Aiming loves the food of the Yamashita General Affairs Department first, often runs there, helps the chefs chop vegetables and work, his mouth is sweet, and the chefs teach him to use both hands from time to time, so that he has practiced good cooking skills, and he also eats with a mouth full of oil.

In fact, Zhang Aiming's martial arts are not bad, but he doesn't like to fight, and his ranking in the class has always been at the middle level.

"Yes, Chubby, it's up to you whether we eat and drink spicy food in the future. Sun Gongcheng laughed beside him.

Sun Gongcheng only went up the mountain the year before last, and transferred from the Yan'an Zhizhi class to the Huashan Zhizhi class.

While everyone was talking and laughing, they saw Uncle Li Bushan, the chief of the mountain, enter the classroom, followed by Zhang Yixiong and Wang Yiwei, and the classroom soon quieted down, staring at the paper in Uncle Li Bushan's hand with a pair of eager eyes.
