In early spring, the rain fell one after another.

On the one hand, Jiang Feng was worried that the ruins might be opened at any time, and on the other hand, he also hoped to finalize the candidate for the "Warm Valley County Town Guard" as soon as possible, and it happened that Wang Xiandao and the other three elders returned from the "Snow Cliff" cultivation dojo in Guhan Town, so he immediately convened the five elders and held a meeting in advance, planning to deal with the relevant matters as soon as possible, and then go to the two counties of Warm Valley and East Lake.

In Donghu County, the problems reflected in Zhou Xing's report must be taken seriously, if material support is needed, he can also help deal with it as soon as possible, at the same time, Zhang Sixi and the second apprentice Jiang Yunqi are estimated to have settled down, and they may need to communicate some links by themselves, at least, Jiang Yunqi should be temporarily entrusted to Zhou Xing to practice, among the three apprentices, only he can't take it with him invisibly and accept his "not much" guidance.

In terms of Warm Valley County, if the problem mentioned by Zhou Xing also has signs in Warm Valley County - I have to say, this probability is still quite large - after changing the town into a county, the resources of Warm Valley County are also unable to bear the sudden influx of foreign population, which is almost the same as Donghu County - as for how to solve it, it naturally needs to be decided after research and screening, but Jiang Feng intends to hand over the problem to the future town guard Li Youde to deal with.

The three elders were dusty, but they were all glorious.

Zheng Luda, who had done the most adequate preparations, had improved his cultivation by one level, reaching the seventh level of the Xuan level, although Wu Quanzhong and Wang Xiandao had failed to improve, they had also further stabilized their cultivation, and the icy effect of the "Snow Cliff" cultivation ground had been personally tested to be effective against the spirit of the black snake, although the avenue was still difficult, but after all, there was a ray of light.

"Congratulations, go further!"

Wu Quanzhong was the first to find out that Jiang Feng's cultivation was promoted again, and he congratulated him, he thought that Jiang Feng was unable to go to Guhan Town because of his busy affairs, and missed a good opportunity to improve his cultivation, and he felt regretful in his heart. But I didn't think that I hadn't seen it for a few days, Jiang Feng's cultivation had made progress again, it was really ......

This is the problem of "luck", he can only comfort himself like this, as for the cultivation resources in his hands, after the sect treasury cannot be used casually, the resources behind Jiang Feng will not be more than himself, at least he thinks so.

"Each has progress, rejoicing, rejoicing. ”

Wu Quanzhong's eyes Jiang Feng understood, it was a kind of envious and slightly upward look, he had thought in the past, if there were enough cultivation resources, he would definitely lead the members of the sect to promote to a higher realm together, but now he already knew that only resources were far from enough, and he had to have his own "Dao", but also have his own standards for acting, and condense the "Dan Theory" as soon as possible in order to achieve the prefecture-level road. In this regard, Jiang Feng is also exploring, so he can't share it with everyone for the time being, it's okay to have the right idea, but if there is a deviation, it will hurt people a lot.

Wang Xiandao and Zheng Luda also politely said goodbye, sat left and right, and chatted about the family routines of the children of each family. Zhao Wenjun and Wei Jie discussed the issue of refining weapons all the way, and arrived at the latest.

The six of them gathered again.

Wang Yi, who was originally in charge of closing the door, had already been replaced by another thin-faced little guy, surnamed Zhang Mingyang, he was originally a slave and bought it for Jiang Feng from Chixiamen Huiyao City, because he was still smart, he was arranged by Jiang Hai in the Wind and Rain Building, but it was only the Nine Law Phase, and the avenue was hopeless.

Because of the early meeting of the sect, several people did not send a letter to Jiang Feng in advance as usual, so all matters were directly discussed at the meeting, judging from everyone's expressions, Wang Xiandao, Wei Jie, and Zheng Luda all had something to discuss at the meeting.

"I'll start with a few words. ”

Jiang Feng handed Zhou Xing's recital about Donghu County to Wang Xiandao next to him, and motioned for him to read it and circulate it in turn.

"Zhou Xing mentioned the conflict between the indigenous communities and the new ethnic groups in Donghu County, I think, this will also happen in Dayi County and Wengu County, Dayi County has Elder Shen in charge, I am still relieved, but the post of town guard in Nuangu County has been vacant, which is a hidden danger. For this reason, I have urgently hired a Xuan-level monk to assist us in guarding Warm Valley County. ”

Before Jiang Feng's words fell, he saw that Elder Wei Jie's face changed slightly, and on the side of the wall, Elder Zhao Wenjun hurriedly handed over the words, and asked one after another:

"Master, I don't know how this external monk's cultivation is, how is his heel?"

What he meant was that the monk was naturally not trustworthy, but he completely forgot that he was also from an external background, but when he heard the string song and knew the elegant meaning, combined with Wei Jie's change in expression, Jiang Feng faintly guessed that Wei Jie was also seeking this position?

"The disciple of the Chu family of Lizong, surnamed Li Mingyoude, cultivates as a Xuan-level triple, and his background is quite innocent. ”

Regarding Li Youde's origin, Jiang Feng had already thought of a pretext, it was absolutely inappropriate to pose as a "traitor to the Imperial Wind Sect", even if a few elders didn't care, but this sensitive identity information would circulate sooner or later, even if Li Yufeng had already opened up all the joints, in the official face, it was impossible for the Imperial Wind Sect to turn a blind eye, and there would definitely be a lot of turmoil.

Therefore, he planned to let Chu Yiming endorse this person, and he himself was also a fake, and he also made a covenant with himself to "watch and help each other", so let's admit this matter first, besides, the probability that several elders will go to him for verification is not very high.

"It's going to cost a lot, right?"

Wei Jie was suddenly held back, and finally relieved, she knew the Chu family, Wei Ruoguang traveled to Zhenwu City, and among the many pieces of information she brought back, there was the basic information of the five members of the Li Sect:

The Xiao family's forces are mainly in the monk battle array and the Flying Bear Army, the Chu family is in charge of the Lingdi mine, the Yu family's forces are mainly in foreign affairs and border stops, the Bai family's forces are in the inner gate and the four major mountains, and the head of the Zhu family is beyond the world, controlling the overall situation through various in-law ties, and concentrating more than half of the prefecture-level powerhouses of the Lizong, as well as Zhu Qianmu, the highest heaven-level powerhouse in cultivation.

Jiang Feng had befriended the Xiao family before, Wei Jie knew that although she had not personally experienced the talks of the Seven Alliances of the Hanshan Faction, she had also heard a lot of details in her dealings with Wu Quanzhong, and knew that this matter could not be fake; and in the eyes of the Zheng family, when she went to Dayi County to do business, she also knew that Jiang Feng's place of residence was the shop of the Yu family, and it was impossible to say that there was no connection; and now Jiang Feng mentioned the Chu family, which really shocked her.

What kind of relationship did Jiang Feng rely on to get acquainted with so many Li Sect clans in a short period of time?

This is a question worth studying, she plans to repair a book when necessary, and inquire about her "cousin" Wei Ruoting, although the relationship between the two is so far that she can barely be called a "cousin", but there is a "cheap act, full cooperation" dictation of Wei Shendao, the head of the Haimen, this "cousin" who has been an envoy in Lizong for many years, it is impossible not to help himself.

Jiang Feng chose to put two third-order spirit stones in front of the desk, one fiery red and the other golden.

The latter was replaced by him privately, and originally Li Youde gave it a wood-based spirit stone, but the wood-based spirit stone may be useful to Jiang Feng of the "Two Golden Eight Woods" attribute law at a critical moment, such as forcibly absorbing spiritual power at a critical moment to save his life. Therefore, he used the gold spirit stone obtained from Moqiu Spring to replace the wood spirit stone of the same grade.

"This is a spirit stone that the new town guard voluntarily donated to the sect. ”

Of course, this meaning is similar to selling officials, but it sounds very good, and seeing the surprised and bright eyes of several people, Jiang Feng added:

"This number per year. ”

"This, sir, isn't there something wrong with this. ”

Zheng Luda naturally understood in his heart that this was a trading official, and no matter how he whitewashed or changed the words, he could not change this essence.

But he was still attracted by the two third-order pieces in front of the case, he took it and rubbed it in his hand, convinced that this thing was real.

It is impossible to say that he has not seen so many spirit stones, but as a general elder, he has not had such a large number in his hands for many years. Many of the affairs in the sect have always been unable to be implemented due to financial constraints, and even implemented at a discount, if these spirit stones can be invested in them, then-

"This is a traitor, my opinion and Ruda are the same, and we can't set this precedent. ”

Before Zheng Luda could reverse his views, Wang Xiandao chose to directly pull him into his camp, and at the same time made the topic clear, "The head is also a good intention, but it doesn't seem appropriate to start this way." ”

"And will the person named Li Youde come nonsense, in order to make more money, and make the people resentful. When the time comes, not only will it take time and effort to clean up the mess, but it will also lose popularity. Wang Xiandao added, expressing his worries.

"But if you want to earn back two third-order coins in Warm Valley County, it's really a bit difficult. Wu Quanzhong said with a smile, "I'm afraid that the land will be scraped up to three feet, and it won't be able to sell it at this price." ”

Wang Xiandao was a little embarrassed to be said, he also knew that before the reform of the county system, the annual income of the Assanyama Sect was only about a third-order, and before it reached the sect's treasury, it had already been taken away in advance by the consumption of various places.

From Wei Jie's demeanor, he saw that the other party might have some ideas about this position, but he just came back, and the meeting was held in a hurry, Wei Jie did not greet him, but he believed that as long as he helped her, the other party would still be rewarded, besides, this is also a sniper for the head Jiang Feng, and now there are two counties in the three counties, and they have fallen into the pocket of the head of the family, and this third county is better to contain it.

"I agree. Zheng Luda was still persuaded by the spirit stone, "If you don't vote, this spirit stone is real." ”

"No, it's a matter of principle. Wang Xiandao stretched out his hand and pressed Zheng Luda's outstretched right hand, "Head, as a law enforcement elder, I have the right to veto the issue of violating the historical system, this is selling officials." ”

"Is there a compromise?"

Jiang Feng pushed the problem back, he saw that Wang Xiandao had something to do, and judging from his position as an elder of law enforcement, it was most likely related to this matter.

"This ......" Wang Xiandao didn't expect the ball to be thrown back so quickly.

"Say it quickly, I have figured out how to spend this spirit stone, if it is yellow, you have to compensate me. ”

Zheng Luda deliberately put on his "naïve strength", with a smile on his face, but kicked Wu Quanzhong at his feet, signaling him to come out and complain, the other party plans to set up a small courtyard in the northeast of the Yufeng Sect, and at the same time has the function of a business stack.

"These two spirit stones, as well as the subsequent annual income, will all be handed over to the sect's treasury. If you have a suitable method, you might as well bring it up. Jiang Feng added.

"Yes, Lao Wang, tell me. Wu Quanzhong knew what Zheng Luda meant, but he knew that Zhao Wenjun also wanted a sum of spirit stones, and his refining team was also short of money, so it was impossible to rely only on Wei Jie's short-term financial support.

"Elder Wang, from the perspective of the needs of the sect, we still need this spirit stone. You see, if we don't send someone to oversee it, we can do both, although it is a change from the old practice, but it is still safe. The wind turned sharply, and Zhao Wenjun gave a plausible suggestion.

"Wen Jun's idea is good. Otherwise, the three counties will all send a mortal supervisor, so that it will not look abrupt, so as not to make the Chu family's disciples distracted. Wang Xiandao took over the topic in a timely manner, "It's still Wenjun's broad thinking, old, hey, old." He laughed self-deprecatingly, and immediately looked at Jiang Feng, "How about this plan, master?"

"Okay, that's it. The candidates for supervision are up to you, but you have to choose people with reliable temperament and temperament, not only Li Youde, but also Zhou Xing and Elder Shen's face. ”

"Yes, naturally. Wang Xiandao successfully pulled back a game, there are people to supervise, he can not only collect information about the three counties in a timely manner, and act according to the situation, but also, in some aspects, grasp some of the power of the three counties.

"But this is not an example. ”

Jiang Feng set the tone, in fact, he didn't want to sell the official mantle, so didn't he go to "ask" a few ancestors for this reason. The reason why this "monetization method" is ended is to prevent the upward and downward effects, and then it will be completely chaotic. As for supervision, although Wang Xiandao is for his own selfish interests, this matter is still reliable, and everything has to be taken from a comprehensive perspective, which is the fundamental difference between him as the head of the family and the elders.

"Now that the matter of the town guard has been decided, let me tell you something else. As soon as the dust settled on the matter of the town guard position in Nuangu County, Wei Jie threw out an astonishing sentence:

"I would like to resign from my position as Elder Chuangong. ”
