Chapter 142: Heart-to-heart
As an old servant who has no position, Jiang Hai and Wang Yi, the deacon of the Rolling Shutter Division, participated in the presbyterian meeting throughout the whole process, and the latter wanted to record the meeting in the leader's record, while he had always participated routinely, and no one had ever objected.
"It is said that for a short period of time after Ren Wudao planned to go to the Troubled Stone Sea to find an opportunity, no one in the sect opposed him in anything. Jiang Hai thought for a while and said something with a deep meaning.
"That is, in their eyes, I may be dying?"
"That's right, even if you sell the sect, it's the fault of you, the head of the previous generation, although your reign is short, it doesn't prevent you from making a lot of mistakes. ”
Although this is loyal, it sounds a little heartbroken.
However, when it came to the length of time, Jiang Feng suddenly remembered that the one who had followed him the longest was Jiang Hai, an old servant, who was really dark under the lights, and he was designated as the successor to the head of the family, thinking that many elders might know the secrets, but he forgot the people who had been with him in the past few years.
"Hai Lao, do you know why Ren Wu Dao wants to appoint me to succeed me as the head of the family?"
"As far as I know, the heir that Ren Wudao initially tended to was not you, but Jiang Kaiji. Jiang Hai said slowly, his wrinkled pupils at the corners of his eyes were confused, and he fell into deep memories.
"Jiang Kaiji?" Jiang Feng carefully tasted this name, and remembered that this was also one of the five people who went to Fuyuan Town, the "Kai" character generation, and he was regarded as the authentic descendant of the "Seven Treasure Gourd" family, "It's just that he died?"
"According to Ren Wudao's public appearance, he was killed by a sneak attack by an unknown sect, but there was no evidence of his death, so he hastily erected a well-dressed mound, and the absence of a corpse has always been the biggest suspicion, but no one dared to ask, and besides, our small sect like the Shallow Mountain Sect, which has little strength, does not have any real enemies who need to assassinate us. ”
"Someone I personally chosen?"
"No, back then, it wasn't his idea to choose you to come out to worship the ancestor of the sect, but an outsider, a strange visitor with a vertical eye on his forehead, who came to the Asshan Sect for only a few days. ”
"People from the Vantage Gate?"
"This is the first time I've heard of this, I was also there that day, Ren Wu Dao gathered all the young children of the three major families, that person selected among them, and finally selected you and the other four, and then Ren Wu Dao excused that all four of them died, and under the pretext that you were 'quite lucky, worthy of a great responsibility', he set you up as the next generation of heads, and soon after he rushed to the sea of rocks, what happened later, you must already know. ”
Vantage Gate?
Jiang Feng drew a big question mark in his heart, it seemed that if he wanted to know the secret, he still had to find those few visitors from the Vantage Gate first, and since he acted so mysteriously, even if he found the other party, it would be difficult to use legitimate means to let them tell the truth.
The matter can only be put on hold for the time being.
............
The road to Wu's house is familiar and brisk.
As the first elder to completely fall to himself, the communication with Wu Quanzhong, the elder of foreign affairs, has always been smooth, but with the embarrassing matter of encountering the internal affairs of the Wu family before, Jiang Feng still sent Zhang Yang, a slim-faced little man, to inform him in advance, this kid is much more nimble than Wang Yi before, and by the time Jiang Feng arrived, Wu Quanzhong was already waiting to greet Jiang Feng outside the mansion.
"Master!"
"Well, let's talk about it in the house. ”
The two sat down, the spiritual tea was served, Wu Quanzhong retreated left and right, and said in a low voice, "Master, this trip to the Angry Wind Canyon, is it a bit hasty, can you delay the departure for a few days, I really want to find a way to borrow some suitable magic weapons, although the Nangong family has the same small jurisdiction, but their ancestor Nangong Xiangwan has advanced to the golden pill for many years, we are still good friends with them, if I go sooner, maybe it will be too late, after so many years of friendship, he should give us some thin noodles." ”
"I have a heart. ”
Jiang Feng took a sip of spiritual tea, "Don't worry too much, frankly speaking, this trip is indeed a life of nine deaths, but be careful, if you don't covet heavy treasures, there is still a lot of hope for a safe return, the Nangong family is a human race, the shape of the magic weapon is different from ours, and the time required for the sacrifice is also long, and once this favor is used, I am afraid that it will have a bad impact on our future trade negotiations." ”
"The boss is extremely so. It's just that compared to the safety of the head, this is a small matter. Wu Quanzhong's body was half leaning, and he was closer to Jiang Feng, "Although our supplies depend on them to go to sea, I have also contacted the Li family in Xihai recently, if the negotiation is good, I want to transfer some of the materials to them for sale." ”
"It's good for you to call the shots, and in this regard, let it go. We are too far from the sea, otherwise we will not be subject to so many restrictions, even if we do some back and forth trade, it will be more profitable. ”
"yes. Wu Quanzhong sighed, as an elder of foreign affairs, because the sale of materials needs to rely on other people's trade routes, he must have eaten a lot of cold eyes and snorts when he ushered in and sent various sects.
"But it's not that there is no opportunity, when the world is in chaos, maybe it will be our chance, but before that, we have to do a good job of internal strength, with the strength of our shallow mountain sect, we can't do those lofty things for the time being. Jiang Feng was afraid that he would be discouraged, so he put forward his own idea.
"Well, I understand. Fortunately, the old relationship is still there, and the trade route is quite smooth for the time being. ”
"You plan to set up a temporary trading inn in Lizong Zhenwu City, the location can be remote, but the area is as large as possible, and after I open up various joints, I will change it to the purpose of another courtyard. Jiang Feng took out a third-order magic weapon, Ruyi, which was prepared for the Tuoba Tu Dharma before, but the Dharma became an alliance and was never used.
"Pay for it. ”
"Master, how is this good? It is not in accordance with the rules to subsidize the sect all the time. ”
"You and I know the situation of the big library. There's no need to worry about these details. Jiang Feng pushed the Ruyi magic weapon in front of him, "According to the rules I established when I became the head of the house, I can't move the big treasury, and I also know that you are afraid that I have selfish intentions, after all, I am from the poor Jinhu family, if you spend the big treasury indiscriminately, I am afraid that there will be the old thing of the previous generation hollowing out the big treasury." ”
"Where, where, we can see the selflessness of the head, and I will tell them that this rule must be changed. The head of the house can't use the big treasury, which doesn't make sense. ”
"It doesn't matter. Quanzhong, you don't have to be stressed. ”
Although Wu Quanzhong's statement made Jiang Feng deeply gratified, and it seemed that there was a little reward for the selfless dedication of the sect, but recovering the power that had been released was not as simple as imagined, and it was necessary to be willing of the vast majority of people in order for the sect to form a joint force and move forward together.
Recycling the power of the Great Treasury, he believes that Wu Quanzhong and Zheng Luda will not have a knot now, as for Wei Ruoguang, he should abstain as usual, only Wang Xiandao and Zhao Wenjun may have other ideas, but this is not too important.
The important question is that the Great Treasury cannot be empty, and if it is, even if it can be used, what is the point? Moreover, if you think about it on the other hand, even if you can use it, what is the point of hollowing out the sect for yourself?
Of course, that's an afterthought.
"If you agree, when I find a monk who is good at housekeeping, I will leave the treasury in his hands, so that you can rest assured. ”
"Yes, yes, in fact, it is the same for you to personally manage the head, and everyone can see the changes in the Asa Mountain Sect. I'll go back to Ruda, and don't shirk the matter anymore. ”
"Well, you decide, the development of the sect still depends on everyone's concerted efforts. Speaking of your family's Tianzhe and Tianjiao, how are they now?"
"Fortunately, they are more sensible, I sent someone to investigate secretly, and there is no such extravagant flower spirit stone, and a letter came a few days ago, and I thank the head for helping me in this matter. ”
Wu Quanzhong stood up and personally made up the spiritual tea for Jiang Feng.
............
"Thank you for your 'Cloud Trick Oil'. ”
Jiang Feng thanked Wei Ruoguang again, for this Wei family who didn't know much, but had joined the service of the Asshan Sect, Jiang Feng still put "politeness" and "respect" in the first place.
Wei Ruoguang's residence is not near the Wei family's mansion, but a small courtyard, closer to the Zhangmen's inner mansion, the furnishings in the house are simple but elegant, if you look closely, it seems that each has its own story.
"That's kind to the boss, that's what I'm supposed to do, but I don't have enough support to do it. Wei Ruoguang spoke very calmly, which was completely different from Wei Jie's twists and turns, and sometimes grandiose and explicit style.
"The children of the martial arts families, what are the problems in passing on the gong?"
"It's good. It's just that the foundation is different, the Fa is different, and I may still need time to straighten it out, although I have cultivated to the ground, but as a master who preaches and receives karma to solve doubts, it may not be appropriate, and I hope the master understands this, but I will try my best to do it well. ”
"Well, I believe you. Don't have too much pressure, the foundation of the Asayama Sect itself is very weak. ”
"Yes, sir. ”
Wei Ruoguang bowed, "Although the number of monks in my sect is not large, but the last time I met the martial arts, five disciples were still elected from all over the country, I asked Zheng Luda, judging from the ordinary people in our entire territory, it is still possible to give birth to more than a dozen monks who awaken the Dharma Phase every year, in this regard, I suggest that we can find a way to tap the potential." ”
"Ascending to the Immortal Conference?"
Jiang Feng knew what he meant, Wei Ruoguang could see the root of the problem, which showed that this person was still a doer, and the most important thing in the strength of the sect was the number and quality of the monks, the so-called quality, the most important thing was the proportion of battle-like law cultivators, but this ratio, due to the historical reasons of the race, the Qianshan Sect itself was lower than the average, so it was particularly important to work hard in terms of quantity.
Five and a dozen, the gap is still quite large.
"I have instructed the Department of Rites and the Department of Rolling Blinds to organize this matter, and the Dengxian Conference can be reopened this winter. ”
"It turns out that the head of the house has already designed, but I have been thinking too much. Wei Ruoguang's eyes flashed with a hint of essence, he originally thought that Jiang Feng's mind was only on such an excellent disciple as the top eight of Huiwu, but now it seems that he wants to be crooked.
"Where you can help, you still reach out, don't limit yourself to the position of an elder. ”
"Yes. ”
"Monk Battle Formation, what do you think?"
Since Wei Ruoguang was already an Elder of Gong Inheritance, Jiang Feng didn't want to guard against him in these sensitive matters, judging from his limited understanding before, this person was still reliable, and he was not a careerist. Of course, Jiang Feng felt that his ability to see people was average, and there was also the possibility of seeing crookedly, he was born there, which limited his vision, Jiang Feng knew in his heart that this shortcoming could not be changed overnight, but in the position of the leader, he did not worry about the opportunity to exercise.
"The Monk Battle Formation must be done, but now is not the time. ”
Wei Ruoguang stretched out two fingers, "There are two points, one is the problem of spirit stones, but also the problem of spirit veins, the monks in our sect have always lacked the support of resources in this area, although you have basically solved the problem of short-term consumption of spirit stones, but the spirit veins are continuous support, this point must be found as soon as possible, that is, cultivating low-level spirit veins and opening up some cultivation caves, which is also excellent;"
"On the other hand, we have to consider the pressure of the sects around us, the Qianshan Sect is adjacent to the Li Sect in the west, the Jincheng faction is adjacent to the east of the Qianshan Sect, the south is separated from the Black Water Gate and the Wei State, and the Hanshan Sect is adjacent to the Yufeng Sect in the north. ”
"Let you be an elder of the Gong Gong, but it is condescending. Jiang Feng said with a smile, "When Quan Zhong talks about this, he can't see it clearly, and what he cares about most often is the spirit stone." ”
"Elder Quanzhong focuses on expanding trade routes, communicating with each other, and making profits for the sect, which I am not as good as him. Wei Ruoguang talked about Wu Quanzhong, his expression was much more relaxed, several elders in the sect, under Jiang Feng's deliberate matchmaking, Wei Ruoguang and Wu Quanzhong were the most familiar, and their three views were also about the same, and they got along very well.
"Frankly speaking, although the strength of the Covering Sea Gate is a little stronger, the surrounding situation is still similar to that of the Asa Mountain Sect, and when I was covering the Sea Gate, I often studied this way with others, but it was just ......"
"Turn over the past and look forward. Jiang Feng knew that he remembered the days when he was depressed in the Covering Sea Gate, and he had just heard the general affairs elder Wu Quanzhong chat, "The Qianshan Sect is your new stage, let it go." ”
"Yes, sir, let the past pass, and thank you for giving me this opportunity. He stood up suddenly, clenched his fists and bowed, as if he had been quite touched.
"This is what to do, if it is light, it does not have to be so. Jiang Feng quickly stood up, clenched his hand, and squeezed it together, "Don't worry, everything will be fine." ”
I want to talk about "Ten Generations of Leaders" with more like-minded people, and pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
