Chapter 13: The Revival Plan (Part II) (Collect!)
The emotions of everyone present were mobilized by Tianhuo, almost all the disciples stood up, especially the miscellaneous disciples were even more excited and red-eared, shouting with everyone, and even the two spirit beasts lying in the corner of the main hall also stood up, looking at Tianhuo with some surprise.
Tianhuo pressed the palms of his hands down a few times, signaling everyone to be quiet, and it took a long time for the scene to calm down.
Tianhuo looked at everyone with a look in his eyes, and continued: "Since everyone is willing to share weal and woe with the Xuanji faction and seek common development, then I will continue to talk about it. ”
"Confucian sages, Taoist kings, and Buddhas were all sages in the Middle Ages, and they founded the three religions of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism respectively.
Confucianism talks about entering the WTO, Taoism talks about birth, and Buddhism talks about saving the world, and the three schools have their own strengths, and they all have places where we can't learn enough.
Since the Xuanji faction has decided to join the WTO this time, we must learn more from the Confucian scriptures and practices. ”
Here I would like to quote a sentence of the Confucian sage: everything is predetermined, and if it is not prepared, it will be wasted. The pre-word rule is not to stumble, the pre-rule is not sleepy, the pre-action rule is not guilty, and the pre-road rule is not poor. ”
This means that if you are prepared in advance, you will succeed in anything, and if you are not prepared, you will fail; if you are prepared in advance, you will not be unable to stand up with your reasoning; if you are prepared in advance, you will not encounter difficulties and setbacks and will not be able to save yourself; if you make a plan before acting, you will not have the result that you regret; and if you choose the path and direction in advance, you will not lose your way and be cornered. ”
"This time, the head of the master put forward the Xuanji rejuvenation plan, not on a whim, but after brewing and precipitation for thousands of years, it ushered in such a historic opportunity.
We must not act rashly and act with a spirit of blood and courage, which will at most be a temporary prosperity! In the long run, blind development without a plan will not lead to any good results in the end.
Today, I will tell you about the Xuanji revival plan in my heart. ”
"Whether it is a country, a sect, or even a family, if you want to get rid of poverty and take off, you must start from the three aspects of 'people, finance, and property'.
The revival of the Xuanji faction also requires a large number of talents, a large amount of money, and a large number of materials for cultivating the truth. ”
"How to obtain a large number of 'people, property', I will introduce to you from the nine aspects of 'people, money, materials, production, supply, marketing, storage, control, and potential'. ”
"First of all, let's first understand the overall pattern of the entire Dongshengzhou Continent. ”
After Tianhuo finished speaking, he flipped down a demonstration pattern from the wooden frame, pointed at the demonstration map with a small wooden stick, and said:
"The first one, "The Complete Map of Dongshengzhou". If you don't understand the forms of the country, don't know the imperial decrees, and don't know how to grasp the situation, you can't take advantage of the situation.
The Three Kingdoms of China occupied the central part of the Dongshengzhou continent, the Tang State had the most national strength among the Three Kingdoms, occupying the lands of Guanzhong, Bashu and Jingchu, the Ming State occupied North China, the Central Plains and the Jianghuai region, and the Song State occupied the 12 provinces of Jiangnan, South China, and Yunnan and Guizhou.
The Tang Kingdom is due north of the Mengyuan Empire, the northwest is the Western Regions States, the southwest is the Western Fan Kingdom, the south is the Song Kingdom, and the east is the Ming Kingdom, the absolute land of the four wars, so it has also created their strong military strength and cultivation power.
The Ming Kingdom is due north of the Mengyuan Empire, due west is the Tang Kingdom, due south is the Song Kingdom, and the northeast is the Jin Kingdom, although the geographical area is the smallest among the three kingdoms, but the population is large, the threat mainly comes from the north, and the domestic situation is stable.
Our Song Kingdom borders the Tang Kingdom and the Ming Kingdom in the north, and there is a short border in the northwest bordering the Western Fan Kingdom, due west is the Heavenly Demon Forest, and the southeast is the Daomen Spiritual Domain, and there is no enemy in the real sense, so it is known for its prosperity and wealth.
The vast majority of the people of the Three Kingdoms of China are descendants of the Chinese people, all of whom are descendants of the same language and species, but the countries are different.
The Song Dynasty has a vast land and abundant products, a stable domestic situation, and a very strong commercial atmosphere, so for our Xuanji faction, the establishment in the Song Kingdom has already occupied an innate advantage, and taking the road of commerce is the only choice for our rejuvenation. ”
The geographical knowledge on the first map is relatively familiar to Xuanjizi and the second generation of disciples
But for the three generations of disciples and miscellaneous disciples, it was like seeing a whole new continent, and many people only knew about Yundian Province, and no matter how big it was, they had never heard of it.
It turned out that Dongshengzhou was so big, and many miscellaneous disciples had infinite reverie and longing.
After Tianhuo finished talking about the first picture, he flipped down the second demonstration pattern from the wooden frame and continued:
The second is the "Seven Provinces Map of Yunnan and Guizhou". The location of our Xuanji Mountain is in Wanshui County, Xuanwei Prefecture, Yunnan Province, Yunnan Province.
Why show this map?
Because among the 'people, money' and property that I mentioned earlier, the best thing to solve, and the most urgent thing to solve, is the problem of 'money'.
As a newly promoted Xuan-level sect, our biggest dilemma at present is not the scarcity of talents, nor the lack of cultivation resources, but the lack of secular money for the sect.
I have discussed in detail with the Third Senior Brother and the Eighth Senior Brother that the Xuanji Sect needs 3,300 taels of silver every month to maintain the normal operation of the whole sect's disciples' clothing, food, housing, and transportation and the sect.
However, our sect's money and wealth income is pitiful, except for the medicinal herbs planted by the eighth senior brother in the past two years, we can earn more than 10,000 taels of silver every year, and there is no other income! We have been eating some of the old books that Master and his old man have worked hard to save over the years.
As a second-generation disciple, I feel very ashamed, and I have never thought about solving problems for the sect.
Here, I would like to solemnly thank the Third Senior Brother and the Eighth Senior Brother for their silent dedication over the years, without them, we would not have the comfortable and relaxed cultivation environment we have today. ”
Tianhuo bowed deeply to Cang'er and Yi prisoners, all the second-generation disciples, including Xuan Jizi, felt very ashamed, they had hardly considered the issue of money over the years, and the food, clothing, shelter and transportation were completely provided by Cang'er and Yi prisoners.
Therefore, the disciples of the Xuanji Sect all stood up and bowed to Cang'er and the Yi prisoners to express their gratitude.
The professional smile that had always hung on Cang'er's face had disappeared, his expression had become extremely solemn and serious, and there were fewer wrinkles on his face, and he felt that he was a lot younger.
His waist was straight, his whole body was tense, and his body trembled slightly, and the recognition of his master and fellow disciples at this moment was the greatest reward for his efforts over the years.
Prisoner Yi was even more excited, and he also stood up straight, although his left shoulder was low and his right shoulder was high because of his lameness, no one would make fun of him, and there was only respect in his eyes.
He gritted his teeth, afraid that he would cry if he couldn't hold back, the muscles on his cheeks were throbbing, the scar on the right side of his face was particularly striking, and his eyes became moist and red.
At this moment, he has no humility, only pride! He has only one thought in his heart: for the Master, for the Xuanji faction, he can give everything, including his life!
Tianhuo motioned for everyone to sit down and continued, "Why is money the best problem to solve?"
"Because the acquisition of talents requires chance and precipitation, and the acquisition of cultivation materials requires strength and manpower, while worldly money only requires a keen eye, business intuition, a part of the capital, enough hard work, and a little luck, everyone can succeed. ”
"We have the third and eighth senior brothers who are good at business, the 100,000 taels of silver that the imperial court has just rewarded as the capital, and the colleagues here who are willing to work hard for the revival of the Xuanji faction, plus the support of the government and county chambers of commerce, it is not a big problem at all to earn some money to maintain the normal operation of the sect. ”
"I have marked on this map the routes within the seven provinces of Yunnan and Guizhou that can be used for short- and medium-distance trade.
These routes are all trade routes with convenient transportation and complementary materials, and as long as there is enough escort force and enough diligence, you can make money quickly. ”
Cang'er and Yi prisoners were particularly interested in this picture, and for two people who were used to being poor, they were willing to work hard for it if they could earn money quickly.
Tianhuo continued to turn over the third picture and said: "The short- and medium-distance goods trade in the province can only solve the problem of basic clothing, food, housing and transportation of the Xuanji faction, when our chamber of commerce has accumulated to a certain extent and has a certain strength, we will also expand long-distance trade routes, so that the profits are higher and more stable." ”
"Please see the third one, "Yunnan-Yunnan Long-distance Trade Roadmap". This map shows the route of the Xuanji faction's future long-distance trade in general goods.
Yundian Province was the province that bordered the Song State with the most other countries, and the Xuanji faction had the convenience of natural trade in Yundian Province.
To the north, we are closer to the Tang State and Bashu in a straight line than to Qianyang Province;
To the northwest, we can trade furs and medicinal herbs with the Western Tibetan Kingdom;
To the southwest, we can provide the Heavenly Demon Forest with the exquisite daily necessities of the Terrans, and now the Demon Clans are very fond of the items of the Terrans;
To the south, we can trade grain and metals with the Daomen Spirit Domain.
If these trade routes can be opened up and ordinary goods can be traded between countries, the profits generated can definitely make the Xuanji faction the richest sect in Yundian Province. ”
The third picture made everyone excited, it turned out that the trade of goods of the Xuanji faction could be done abroad, what a bold idea!
Tianhuo didn't give everyone much time to think and admire, and directly flipped down the fourth picture, and continued: "Fellow disciples, don't waste too much of your attention on the long, medium and short trade of ordinary goods, the ultimate purpose of doing the previous things is to open up a trade route for Xiuzhen materials.
Money can only maintain the operation of the sect, and the materials for cultivating the truth will make the sect truly strong. ”
"The fourth is the "Road Map from Xuanji Mountain to the Heavenly Demon Forest", Xiuzhen resources have always been strictly controlled by the imperial court, and when the Xuanji faction accepted the reward from the imperial court this time, it only put forward an additional condition, that is, to have the trade qualification of Xiuzhen materials.
If we have obtained the trade qualification of Xiuzhen resources, we will start with a small amount of and steady Xiuzhen resource trade, and initially we will only concentrate on one trade route, that is, the Xiuzhen resource trade route from Xuanji Mountain to the Heavenly Demon Forest.
This route is the most complementary trade route, whether it is the refining, alchemy, and charms from the past of the Song Kingdom, or the elixir, demon pill, and refining materials from the Heavenly Demon Forest, they are all materials urgently needed by both sides, and this route is done well, at least to ensure that the Xuanji faction will step up to a higher level.
This route is relatively easy to do, and it is also the only route in the Song Kingdom that allows the trade of Xiuzhen resources, and there is a good popularity laid down by Shizun in the demon clan, and this road will be foiled by some Xiuzhen Dao friends, or it will not be long before the situation will be opened.
In the later stage, we can also establish Xuanji faction branches in the two largest markets, Qingzhoufang and Ping'an Fang, to collect and transfer repair materials on the spot, so that we can truly have the supply chain of repair materials. ”
"After the trade route of cultivation materials from Xuanji Mountain to the Heavenly Demon Forest is fully operational, we will use the power of the court to open up a domestic trade route for cultivation materials. ”
"Please look at the fifth map, "Xuanji Mountain to Jinling Mansion, to Zhucheng, to Suicheng, to Yongzhou, to Qionghai Map", which is the main roadmap for the Xuanji faction to expand the domestic trade in Xiuzhen materials in the future. ”
"As the capital, Jinling is the distribution center of high-grade cultivation materials; Zhucheng is prolific with grass and tree cultivation materials, Suicheng has many overseas precious cultivation materials, Yongzhou has many insects and snakes cultivation materials, and Qionghai has many Hai Clan cultivation materials, which can greatly enrich our cultivation materials and play a huge role in impacting the top chamber of commerce in the Song Kingdom, of course, this step is still far away. ”
"Through the first five pictures, I will give you a brief description of the Xuanji faction's revival plan on the four aspects of 'finance, material, supply, and marketing', and then we will take a break, and then I will continue to tell you how the five aspects of 'people, production, storage, control, and potential' work. ”
The first five pictures have already made the Xuanji Sect disciples present excited and fascinated, and when they heard that there was more and more exciting content in the future, they were going crazy.
The second-generation disciples couldn't hold back for a long time, so they went up and took the first five drawings off the wooden frame and studied them separately, planning what they could do to contribute to the sect.
The third-generation disciples and miscellaneous disciples even surrounded the second-generation disciples in the middle, even if it was from the conversation between the master and the uncle, listening to a few words would definitely be of great benefit to themselves in the future.
Tianhuo walked towards Xuanjizi, Xuanjizi looked at Tianhuo with a smile, handed over a glass of warm water and said: "Tianhuo, you really didn't disappoint Master, the analysis is in place, the narration is smooth, and the emotions are in place, and as a teacher, I can't talk about you so well." ”
Tianhuo thanked Master, took the water cup, took a sip, looked at the excited Xuanji Sect disciples, and said, "Master, when I was writing the plan these days, I was still thinking about whether such a grand plan could succeed? But after seeing the enthusiasm and eagerness in their eyes today, I have confidence that the great cause of revival of the Xuanji Sect will definitely succeed. ”
Xuanjizi also looked at the disciples and grandchildren with a gentle smile, nodded and said, "Yes, Tianhuo, with them, they will definitely succeed!"
At this time, a ray of golden sunlight from outside the hall happened to sprinkle into the main hall, shining on the faces and bodies of the master and apprentice, as well as on all the Xuanji Sect disciples in the main hall, making everyone look like gods with golden light.
Xuanwei Mansion, the prefect's mansion and the back hall.
He hurried back to the study in the back hall and instructed the housekeeper that he had important official documents to draft today, and no one should approach the study to disturb him.
After the order, Li Cheng entered the study, lit a wind lamp in his hand, touched it behind the bookshelf, and a secret door appeared next to the bookshelf.
Li Cheng lit the four lamps in the secret room, and the surroundings immediately lit up, it was a small secret room, with only a bookcase, a chair, and a locked iron cabinet.
Li Cheng took out a key with a strange style from his arms, inserted it into the lock hole, opened the iron cabinet, took out a large book from it, and put it on the bookcase.
Li Cheng wiped the cover of the book a little, opened the book, and the inside of the book was not a page, but a lattice structure frame, with a round light blue metal mirror in a large frame above, and five square holes below.
Li Cheng took out five medium-grade spirit stones from his arms, one for each of the five element attributes, and put them into the five square holes under the light blue mirror in turn.
When the fifth spirit stone was put down, I saw a flash of light on the mirror, and the light blue mirror surface became clear, and a face gradually appeared.
It was Wang Zuojun, the scribe of the Nineteenth Prince's Mansion, Li Cheng greeted him with a smile and said, "Brother Zuojun, it's been good recently, and the prince can be healthy." ”
Wang Zuojun smiled slightly: "Brother Li Cheng is good, the prince is healthy, I bother you to remember." ”
Li Cheng hurriedly said: "That's good, Brother Zuo Jun, has the prince read the submission I reported a few days ago?"
Wang Zuojun's eyes flashed, and he still said with a smile: "Look, I just want to congratulate Brother Li Cheng today!"
Li Cheng asked in surprise: "Why don't you tease me?" Brother Zuo Jun. ”
Wang Zuojun smiled and said: "How can you not be happy? Brother Li Cheng is now a celebrity in the prince's heart! Your term of office will expire next year, and the prince will let you choose one of the three posts of deputy envoy of the General Administration Department, Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and Shaoqing of Zhan Shifu!"
Li Cheng looked at Wang Zuojun in surprise and asked, "Brother Zuojun, don't make such a joke." ”
Wang Zuojun shrugged his shoulders and said, "If Brother Li Cheng doesn't believe it, I'll reply to the prince like this." ”
Li Cheng hurriedly said: "Slow, why should Brother Zuo Jun be serious, did the prince say Zhan Shifu Shaoqing first?"
Wang Zuojun was suddenly shocked in his heart, when he said the three positions just now, he deliberately put the Shaoqing of Zhan Shifu at the end, but he didn't expect Li Cheng to be the first to ask about it, I don't know if he got the hint from the prince before, or did he guess it directly by relying on his political acumen?
With such a powerful character, it is better to be less troublesome, Wang Zuojun put away his smile and said: "The prince wants you to go to Zhan Shifu, but he doesn't force you, you can choose the other two positions, but you have to reply as soon as possible." ”
Li Cheng pondered for a moment and continued to ask: "What did the prince say about Xuanjizi and Song Neng?"
Wang Zuojun felt that Li Cheng's calmness was terrifying, and if he got the good news that he was about to be promoted, he would definitely be ecstatic.
But Li Cheng was not affected too much, and he could calmly ask about other things, and Wang Zuojun was three points more jealous of him.
Wang Zuojun said: "The prince is going to let the Xuanji faction take over the cultivation resource business in the southwest Yunnan and Guizhou provinces, and you will do it as soon as possible; as for Song Neng, the prince is going to transfer him to his side for a few years." ”
Li Cheng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, thank you Brother Zuo Jun for reporting the situation in time." Please return to the prince, Li Cheng will do his best to do a good job in Xuanjizi's affairs. In addition, I ask Brother Zuo Jun to thank the prince on my behalf, and I am willing to go to the Zhan Mansion to serve. ”
The corners of Wang Zuojun's mouth twitched and said, "Okay, Brother Li Cheng, I will report back to the prince according to the truth, if it's okay, the call will end." ”
Li Cheng pulled out a spirit stone, and the mirror immediately returned to a light blue metallic color, and no one could see what it was used for.
Li Cheng pulled out all the five spirit stones, these five spirit stones had lost their original brilliance, and the spiritual power inside was almost exhausted.
This 'quick book' is a secret communication tool of the imperial court, which can only be configured by high-ranking officials at the level of governors and governors, and each communication consumes extremely spirit stones.
The two provinces of Yunnan and Guizhou in the southwest were the sphere of influence of the Nineteen Princes, and Li Cheng was a person he trusted very much, so the palace would configure a 'quick book' for him in violation of the regulations to facilitate his information exchange with the palace.
Li Cheng held five spirit stones in his hand that had almost turned into stones, thinking about it, his strength was not well controlled, and he quickly kneaded the five spirit stones into a pile of powder.
Li Cheng woke up suddenly, looked at the stone powder in his hand, clapped his hands, got up and blew out the candles, walked back with the wind lantern, and muttered to himself: "Lord Wang, you have left me with such a difficult position as the Shaoqing of Zhan Shifu, how can I fight to the top, alas~"
Wang Zuojun at the other end of the capital was also stunned for a while, it turned out that Li Cheng had grown so much over the years, and he had not grown much by the side of the prince of the capital, it seemed that the prince let himself go out to experience it, it was really for his own good.
Although Li Cheng has many advantages, the prince also knows his own advantages, and there is no need to compare with Li Cheng.
Wang Zuojun suddenly felt a little relieved, and his depressed mood immediately became much better, he smiled, put away the quick book, and hurriedly returned to the prince.
