1. "Wan Daoyou, please ask, what is the relationship between the forces of the various sects and the Jinling City Prefecture Lord, and where is the main income?"

Dongfang asked Wan Gen for defeat.

Previously, he had done his homework and knew that Wan Gen was just an agent of Zhongzong, serving as the governor of the state and being responsible for the management of the state lord of Jinling City, nominally serving the whole state, but in essence it was basically limited to Jinling City, except in special circumstances, he could forcibly recruit and order the county lords in the state to accept unified command.

However, all the city lord's mansions mainly serve the cultivation realm, dispose of resources and settle disputes, punish crimes and maintain justice and fairness, etc., and usually manage the city's government affairs and mundane affairs, such as organizing school-age youths to join the army, sending troops to the imperial court, and organizing patrol teams.

"The state capital, said to be a state, is actually a big city. The state governor's office is more like the executive body of a coalition organization, acting as their agent and executor. "It was not directly appointed by the imperial court, nor did it enjoy the remuneration that the imperial government gave to officials at all levels in accordance with regulations. The main income of the state government was the annual fee paid by the various sects, the tax and the entrance fee for the establishment of commercial establishments, and part of the subsidies paid by the imperial government on a regular basis. ”

Wan Gen did not disobey his words, and raised his fingers and said: "The Jinling City Prefecture Lord's Mansion, more than sixty percent of the income is mainly from the annual fees paid by the various sect forces, which is about more than 600 million spirit stones a year, and the other miscellaneous expenses together can barely reach one billion spirit stones. After each sect pays its annual fee, it is only after it is qualified to organize and establish a sect.

"Don't look at this billion spirit stones, it seems to be a large amount, but when it comes to spending, it is overstretched, and there is a lack of funds everywhere. Among them, the city's protective array also swallowed up one-third of the funds, one-third was used for personnel remuneration and office, and the rest was general expenses and miscellaneous expenses. ”

"What is the relationship between the Jinling City Prefecture Mansion and the various sect forces in the city?"

Dongfang Qiu Qiu continued to ask.

"Cultivators pay attention to strength, and the same is true for the house of a city. The main mansion of Jinling City Prefecture is led by Zhong Zong, with the cooperation of the four major Wupin sects such as Hehuan Sect, and I am the agent of Zhong Zong. Among them, Zhong Zong contributed the most, and also paid the most annual fees, 200 million per year, followed by the four major five-grade sects, followed by the ten major families, the four major commercial houses, and the four-grade and third-grade power sects. The strength of the first-grade and second-grade sects is wrong, and their own hematopoiesis and income are not ideal, so they basically have no contribution. Wan Gen smiled bitterly: "When it comes to relationships, the relationship between each other is not very good, maybe in their eyes, we are just insects, just taking spirit stones, there is no reward and benefit." ”

"As mentioned earlier, if it weren't for Zhong Zong behind us, it is estimated that no one would be willing to take the initiative to pay fees and taxes. Sometimes, when we carry out our work, we will be obstructed, condemned, and scolded by various factions. The main reason is that we have insufficient influence and manpower, and the better monks will not take the initiative to join the state lord's mansion, because the income is really very low. Therefore, I never took the initiative to receive the Yulu from the state lord's mansion, because I am an elder of Zhongzong, I directly received the Yulu from the sect. Sometimes, when the funds are insufficient, I have to go to the sect."

"Although the state capital is not powerful, as a city government, its influence and credibility are still there, and there is no other force that can replace or replace it. Even when some sects and families want to dispose of certain assets or interests, they must obtain our approval before authorizing or proceeding. ”

Wan Gen is a bold person, and he has a lot to say, but he has an appetite for defeat in the East.

Dongfang Qiu nodded as he listened.

"I'm really sorry, I rashly asked you about some secrets of the Jinling City Governor's Mansion, it's about the fact that after I entered the city with three giant crabs from Taishan Village outside the city today, it has not been peaceful. The Black and Gang Biao Biao Gang led the whole gang to ambush us and others in the area of Oolong Mountain, and then the head of the Kotou Gang led the crowd, Chen Tongxin, the president of the Black and Gang Rats, led the crowd, the leader of the Oolong Sect, Nanfeng, and finally He Wen of the Zijin Sect led the crowd. The patrol team seems to have arrived near home, but they have done more to stop and protect the safety of people and property. I feel that when outsiders come to Jinling City, they are fragrant and sweet, and anyone can bully and form gangs and openly rob, and this filthy thing has formed a kind of atmosphere, which is easy to form a cycle of moral corruption, personality decay, and cause and effect. ”

He let the three crabs continue on their way, and then smiled: "The better the Dao heart, the better the human heart, the deeper the Dao karma, and vice versa." If Jinling City becomes a city of sin and a nightmare and nightmare for outsiders, I think it will challenge your prestige, lose your Dao heart, and hinder your path to immortal attainment. ”

"Oh...... Taught. What you say is very true. Hearing Dongfang's feedback and opinions, Wan Gen was a little embarrassed, and said with a fist: "Actually, I have received a report about you in Wulong Mountain in the morning, but I didn't expect that there would be four gangs and sects targeting you, intending to kill people and sell goods. When I return to the governor's palace, I will definitely deal with this incident seriously, and I dare not say that I can change the situation, or at least try my best to protect the integrity of those who enter the city. ”

"In this way, you don't have manpower and funds, how can it be enough to maintain the safety of people who enter and exit Jinling City every day, I personally donated two billion spirit stones, half of which is used to improve and enhance the welfare of the personnel of the state lord's mansion, and half is to add some necessary weapons and equipment. ”

After a little silence, Dongfang Qiu Defeat said a bold decision.

"I'm not afraid of you telling the truth, I'm a businessman. When you go to the city to do business, you must first seek a good fate, which is convenient for the governor's mansion and convenient for yourself. ”

"You and I don't know each other well, and you don't have to invest, buy a house, or practice and live in Jinling City, so you don't have to be so generous. After all, it's a lot of money. ”

As soon as he heard that the other party wanted to donate two billion spirit stones, Wan Gen's first reaction was to refuse.

Reactive power is not punished. What's more, this is enough to cover the income of the state capital for two years.

Important, important, important is that Dongfang Qiuqiu suffered such a storm in Jinling City, and the five major catastrophes had an inseparable relationship with his own inaction, and how he was embarrassed to accept the donation.

"Excuse me, I donate to the state governor's mansion, and I don't donate to you personally, why do you have to refuse so quickly. ”

Dongfang Qiu smiled indifferently: "Spirit stones, but it is a good thing, cultivators never get tired of many spirit stones, but it is difficult to move an inch without spirit stones on the cultivation road." What happened to me is a negative lesson lesson, and it is also an opportunity for you to improve the humanistic atmosphere of Jinling City and reverse the status and credibility of the state capital. Can you say no?"

"Zhong Zong, you can't devote all your strength to supporting you and the state lord's mansion, and neither will the Cao Gang, who claims to be never bad at the spirit stone. I'm sure you won't find a second person in Venus who is so generous and enthusiastic as I am. ”

Wan Gen was speechless for a moment.

The other party hit him in the heart, lungs and sore spots.
