Volume 1 The Story of Asa Mountain Chapter 42 Unfazed
"Congratulations, boss. ”
Everyone in the Council of Elders stood up together, congratulating Jiang Feng on his cultivation for his ascension, but when he sat down, his expressions were different.
The possession of the spirit of the black snake is the same problem for the cultivation of Wang, Zheng, and Wu, although the family behind the three of them has more cultivation resources than Jiang Feng, but they can only maintain a slight improvement in cultivation, or not drop cultivation, and Jiang Feng was able to continuously improve the triple cultivation in just three months, which made them suffer a great blow.
It is difficult to improve the cultivation, and the avenue is hopeless, so they have to think about the aftermath earlier, including power, partners, wealth, and other "mundane things", so they have different views and covetous thoughts about the position of head in their hearts.
Just like a locked door in my heart, at this moment, a ray of hope shines through the door.
The head of the sect has a secret that can improve his cultivation and avoid the curse of the black snake.
This is the unanimous idea of the trio.
You must know that no matter how many heavenly and earthly treasures are swallowed, the black snake will capture most of them, and in the great treasury of the sect, there are no more spiritual treasures above the first order, and the last batch has already been eaten up by the head of the ninth generation.
This is not the case with Elder Zhao Wenjun, who does not have the burden of the spirit of the black snake. He originally cultivated to the Xuan-level Triple, one level higher than Jiang Feng, and now the head of the sect surpassed him twice, and his heart was a little sour, but he had long been accustomed to this feeling, his natal law phase "carved paper umbrella", which belonged to the law phase that was conducive to refining weapons and talismans, and it was an obstacle to cultivation, which was why he defected to the Qianshan Sect, just to mix up some cultivation resources, but unfortunately although he was already ranked as an elder, the Qianshan Sect was becoming more and more poor. Now he has a lot of wives and children, and he is a person who values feelings, so he has put out his heart and lived with peace of mind.
Yes, yes, he felt so in his heart, this sect seemed to have hope again.
The cultivation of the head of the sect is improved, and the voice of the Qianshan Sect in the surrounding sects will also be improved, although the Xuan-level five-fold is also a scum, but the trend is very good, it is better than falling all the time, and the nine generations of Ren My Dao were not the first to cultivate to fall to the Xuan-level fivefold, and they had to take the risk of going to the sea of rocks to find an opportunity, and the result was never returned. In addition, if Jiang Feng can indeed stabilize his cultivation, then the so-called "county system reform" is indeed necessary.
"Let's talk about the reform of the county system first. Jiang Feng threw out the first topic, "Let's talk about opinions." ”
"I'm okay with that. Zhao Wenjun was the first to express his position, and he regretted it after speaking, he just thought too much about the "benefits of the cultivation of the head of the family", and now he was impulsive, how could I be the first to express my position in this position, but the words could not be taken back, so he quickly added, "It sounds like it can have some effect, I obey everyone's opinions." ”
"Let me make a few comments," Zheng Luda also recovered from the gaffe just now, and fiddled with the white paper fan in his hand, "First, restructuring requires a lot of money, and there are not so many spirit stones in the sect. The lease for the Chlorite Vein expires next year, and I can only negotiate a lease of twice as much, but this is not enough money. He spread his hands helplessly, indicating that no money was the biggest obstacle.
Jiang Feng silently put forty second-order spirit stones on the table.
Silent.
"This is the first batch of expenses, I will pay in advance, and if I need it next year, I will add that until the commercial taxes and customs duties are enough to cover the daily maintenance costs, of course, some towns with good conditions will gradually be upgraded to counties, and there is a big gap here. ”
"It turns out that the head of the house has been prepared for a long time," Zheng Luda laughed dryly, relieving his embarrassment, "Then I have another question," he twisted the folding fan lightly, and then asked.
"The second question is, if the 'Mengjiao Division Preparatory Student' is recommended by the local town guard, and arrives in Luochuan, after being cultivated by the Mengjiao Division, if he awakens the Faxiang, is it a little inappropriate to be assigned to the place?"
"I thought about this," Jiang Feng thought about this question early in the morning, "If you awaken the Faxiang, you can't be assigned a place, the local guards and the deputy positions that will be added in the future must all be filled by ordinary people, and the monks who have awakened the Faxiang can be absorbed into your own family, but you can't force it." ”
"Yes, yes, yes, to convince people with virtue. Zheng Luda actually wanted to ask this, but the staff didn't let him ask directly, so that he had always spoken very straight, and he was very uncomfortable to "talk about his views" today.
This problem is actually Wang Xiandao's concern, if the inheritance branch of the first generation of the family "Seven Treasure Gourd", "Seven Leaf Xuanshen" and "Baiguo Snake Lotus" are not counted together, then the "Mandala Flower" family where he is located is in the Qianshan Sect, it is really the largest family, if because of the long-term implementation of the "Mengjiao Preparatory Students" system, then the resulting increase in monks is bound to increase the number of new families, affecting the "Mandala Flower" The advantages of the family, as Jiang Feng said, if the families are allowed to absorb other loose cultivators through marriage, then this kind of reform is still beneficial to themselves, after all, their own family, the conditions are also superior in the sect.
"There is one more question, and one more," Jiang Feng's answer made Zheng Luda's heart fall to the ground, and he twisted the folding fan again, ready to ask.
"Lao Zheng, take out the draft and take a look, don't hide it. "Foreign affairs elder Wu Quanzhong finally found the clue first, today Zheng Luda's crepe is a little abnormal, he observed carefully, only to find that the white folding fan he was holding was full of dense small characters, and Zheng Luda also made a cheat sheet in order to have a meeting today.
Only then did several other people discover that Zheng Luda's fan was special.
"No, no, the idea, oh no, I agree with this county reform. Zheng Luda blushed, and quickly put away the folding fan, but in his heart he blamed the few Terran scholars in the house, last night a few people counted all night, and asked him a bunch of questions, but he couldn't remember, so he thought of a way to write on the folding fan, but he didn't expect to be discovered by the sharp-eyed Wu Quanzhong, so he was not embarrassed.
"I'm okay with that. Foreign Affairs Elder Wu Quanzhong expressed his attitude, Zheng Luda asked the same question that he cared about, but Zheng Luda was more willing to come forward, in fact, he wanted to ask about the free Fa Phase, but when he saw Jiang Feng take out forty second-order pieces, there was no need for that heart, maybe people were still prepared.
"I agree. Law enforcement elder Wang Xiandao felt that he didn't need to express his "refusal", anyway, the head of the family personally paid for it, and the "reform of the six divisions" was the focus of his opposition, more than a dozen Wang disciples were messing around inside, once they were all cleared, they had to find a way to raise the "Mandala Flower" family, although the number was not much, but it set this precedent, and the cost of the clan was large.
The reform of the county system was unanimously passed.
"Then let's talk about the reform of the six divisions, here I have a suggestion for improvement. ”
Several people looked at the head Jiang Feng together.
"The six divisions are treated differently according to their functions. The Military Service Division should be full of monks, at least in the future, and all those who have combat methods, young and old, can apply to join the Military Service Division; the other five divisions are to add a deacon, who must be monks, who will be responsible for supervising the work of each department, and all the rest of the personnel will be all lay people. ”
"If you don't have an opinion, you can discuss the choice of a deacon, and of course, if you have an opinion, you can also ask it first. ”
All the friars, deacons, and overseers?
This is different from the previous plan, where every elder present had to rethink whether to make adjustments to the questions they originally wanted to ask.
"I recommend Wu Xianghua to be the deacon of the Department of Rites," Wu Quanzhong, the elder of foreign affairs, quickly broke the silence, for him as an elder of foreign affairs, the Department of Rites is a key department that can allow him to control the situation smoothly, and several people from the Wu family before were mostly in the Department of Rites, a few ordinary positions, to change to a more powerful "supervision" position, it is obviously cost-effective, "Although her cultivation is a little lower, but the red and white ceremonies in the sect, ushering in the things sent to him are still very good, you should know this." ”
What is the situation? Law enforcement elder Wang Xiandao felt that he had been betrayed, didn't he just say the night before yesterday that he would oppose the reform of the Sixth Division together, why did he suddenly change his hexagram, and said okay, you come forward, and I will assist?
"Mingjing Division is my Zheng Yiyu," Before Wang Xiandao could speak, Zheng Luda grabbed the conversation first, "His natal dharma phase 'Bingzhan Meditation Grass' is very sensitive to odor changes, and he can be regarded as a rare monk in the sect who is suitable for investigating cases." ”
What are you doing, Wang Xiandao thinks that the key to the problem should not be to oppose the "secularization of the six divisions"?
"Virtuous people don't shy away from relatives, I'll recommend one," Jiang Feng saw Wang Xiandao's appearance of wanting to speak and stopped, knowing that he was the main force of opposition, but unfortunately Wu Quanzhong and Zheng Luda jumped out early in the morning and began to recommend candidates, disrupting his plan," Wang Yi, this kid has been with me for two years, the Rolling Shutter Division is mainly a record of the affairs of the sect, purchasing ingredients and other things, although it doesn't seem important, but people who haven't done it rashly take over, it's not suitable, I suggest just let him serve as a deacon, I see that he is hopeless left and right, maybe a change of environment, maybe he can achieve something else. ”
"Well, yes, it's still your Wang family," Zheng Luda deliberately squeezed Wang Xiandao, he deliberately pretended to agree with Jiang Feng's proposal, as long as this proposal is passed, the Wang family is equivalent to someone already serving in the sixth division, five elders, six positions, the Wang family can't recommend two people, think about Wang Xiandao's appearance of being deflated, Zheng Luda is so happy, ask you to report me about the theft of green crystal veins.
What's your business, yes!
"Soldier Recruitment Division, frankly speaking, we don't have a suitable candidate in the family," Jiang Feng said eloquently, "We are all of us, in fact, the roots are similar to the bloodline of the first generation, and it is not easy to have a monk with a fighting method, except for you, of course, Elder Zhao," he turned his head and showed a "warm" smile, "Your family Liangdi is still good, and it has made a good start." If you don't have an opinion, how about the emperor?"
"Yes, yes, that's a good suggestion. The old man Huangfu is good, I remember that his natal method is the 'Full Moon Power Crossbow', which is much stronger than a few of us. ”
Wu Quanzhong was on good terms with the head of the family of the Emperor Fu of Sanxiu, and he was the first to stand up and agree, but he did not forget Wang Xiandao's line, and originally promised him to come out to oppose the "Six Divisions Reform", but now the head of the house has released the position of "deacon", which is much stronger than putting a few mortals to do miscellaneous work, so he was the first to recommend candidates and successfully seized the opportunity.
"Ding Baozhen, the construction officer, is suitable, when his eldest brother was alive, he came to build roads and bridges in the sect, and the Ding family is the treasure of our sect. As for the Mongolian Education Division, Yue Xishan is more suitable, when Ren is still in charge, he also served in the Mongolian Education Division, Lao Wang, what do you think?"
You're the king, your whole family is the king. Wang Xiandao scolded in his heart.
However, Ding Baozhen, the current head of the Sanxiu Ding family, and Yue Xishan do have a close relationship with him in private, the problem is that his Wang family also has to recommend a person, that "Wang Yi" is a branch of the lineage, and he is also worthy of the surname Wang, but several people have occupied the position of the deacon, and the reasons given cannot be refuted, and for a while they can't think of a suitable candidate to overwhelm the other party, if they don't agree with Ding Baozhen as the deacon of the Construction Division, Yue Xishan as the deacon of the Mongolian Education Division, what will they think of me when it is passed out?
"I agree, it's a good arrangement. He could only coldly say that he had no opinion, and sighed in his heart, today's elders' meeting is a big loss.
"Since everyone has no opinion, it's decided. "The two major plans passed smoothly, and it was unexpectedly smooth, although Jiang Feng was unhappy about Yue Xishan's position as the secretary of the Mongolian Education Department, after all, he had not resisted the pressure of Wang Xiandao in dealing with Ren Xiaolong's affairs before, but at the moment, among the Xuan-level cultivators in the sect, there was indeed no more suitable candidate, and this problem could only be solved in the future.
"There is another article to discuss together, that is, to add Wei Jie as an elder of the sect. ”
"I'm against it. Wang Xiandao felt that this time he had to put forward his opinions quickly, and it was really important to master the rhythm of the meeting.
