Yan Long killed Yi Zuyin in the first battle and obtained 223,000 points for killing the gods, plus the 230,000 points earned from killing the "gluttonous blood corpses" before, and now the total killing value is 483,510 points, which can be described as a lot of gains. Not only that www.biquge.info but because of this battle, his popularity in Shanhaitang soared again, and he was already on a par with Ding Chengfeng.

After this battle in Shanhaitang, the power structure began to shuffle, and most of the power of the cadres in Yi Zuyin's faction was hollowed out, although a large number of people did not participate in Yi Zuyin's treason against the enemy at all, but in order to avoid the suspicion of Li Xia in the melon field, some of the flag owners and even the helmsmen outside the Guanwai took the initiative to resign.

For these people, Yan Long kept all of them, and personally wrote a letter to explain in detail to the rudder masters that the action to kill Yi Zuyin was purely aimed at his treason, not a factional struggle, so he would not be involved or purged.

Yan Long's move, on the one hand, is to stabilize the morale of the army, and on the other hand, it is also to pave the way for his future position. After so many bloody storms, he knows deeply that those who are unpopular will not be able to go far.

Clearing away the only strong opponent who has been hindered in the Shanhai Hall, Yan Long's power has increased sharply, and for some neutral and even hostile forces, he has used both Huairou and Domineering techniques to subdue a lot, and in the process, his own use of power techniques can be described as wonderful.

This can be seen from an incident in the handling of Shanhaitang's financial and tax disputes.

The cause of this incident is related to the God of Wealth Elder Zhan Jinfa and the God of War Elder He Ping.

At the beginning of each year, Shanhaitang will normally allocate a whole year's food and salary funds to the rudders and directly subordinate halls.

Zhan Jinfa has been particularly worried this year.

Because Shanhaitang has no money.

Some time ago, going out of the customs to go to war with the Jurchens cost a lot of money, and a large amount of money was removed from the pensions for the dead and wounded alone.

And last year, the taxes, silver, and materials collected from the rudders were pitiful. It's hard for a good woman to cook without rice, after half a month, she has been patched together, and only half of the rudder's salary has been paid, and Zhan Jin's hair has turned a lot gray.

What should I do if I don't have money, poor families sell their wives, daughters, and children, and large families sell their fields, sell land, and sell their ancestral business.

Jen Blonde is the latter.

He decided to sell a manor and a large field to the west of Yongping Mansion in order to raise some funds and solve his urgent needs.

This is a hornet's nest.

Because this manor houses a large number of widows and families of the victims of the God of War Hall.

"The money is not sent to us, and they still want to sell our house, if we don't beat you, you don't know how the two words Lao Tzu are written?" As soon as He Ping was angry, the king of heaven couldn't hold it down.

He directly led someone to find Zhan Jinfa.

There are also many masters in the Deacon Hall, but compared to the God of War Hall, it is almost like a kindergarten and high school students.

After the first battle, there were more than thirty lying down in the deacon hall, including Zhan Jinfa himself!

The deacon's hall was almost half demolished.

Fortunately, although He Ping was angry, he did not lose his mind, and he was measured. After this fight, only people were injured, not dead, otherwise, the Torture Hall Elder Zhang Yi would have opened the Torture Hall to kill people again.

After the incident, He Ping and all the disciples of the God of War Hall were detained in the prison of the Torture Hall. Zhang Yi had already given everyone a hundred whips in accordance with the gang rules, and then compiled the accusations of He Ping and the others into a book, ready to be submitted directly to the main hall.

The torture hall has the responsibility of supervision, and in the event of such an extremely bad incident that affects the entrance of the hall, it can be reported directly by skipping the level.

However, Yan Long stopped him.

Yan Long said to Zhang Aiji: "It's not that you won't be allowed to submit, it's just that you wait first." ”

In fact, Yan Long had already noticed the clues of this matter, but he pretended not to know, and patrolled the rudder of Yongping Mansion as usual. His original intention was to let these two halls make trouble for a while, and when the matter became bigger, he would come forward to calm down.

Because he needed this to be a fuse, to pave the way for a reform he was going to implement later!

To correct the serious disease, you need to take strong medicine!

Shanhaitang's financial situation is already rotten and can't be worse. This "disease" must be cured!

Although most of the fault lies with He Ping, Zhan Jinfa is impatient and improper, and he is also at fault for failing to properly settle the widows of the victims. If Ding Chengfeng was in charge, the two elders would be thrown into the black prison and stay for two months.

However, Yan Long is different from Ding Chengfeng.

He found Zhan Jinfa, He Ping, and Zhang Aiji, set up a banquet, and began to drink and eat.

Among the four people, Zhang Yi was the most silent, he sat on the seat, that is, he did not move his chopsticks, nor did he speak, like a piece of wood.

Yan Long's appetite was the best, and after he drank three pots of wine in a row, he said to Zhan Jinfa, "Elder Zhan, do you know why Elder He went to the deacon hall to beat people?"

The residual swelling on Zhan Jinfa's face had not disappeared, so the anger was still relatively large, and he directly pointed at He Ping and scolded: "Because he is a mad dog." ”

He Ping slapped the table, Huo Ran got up, as if he was about to start fighting again.

Yan Long's eyes were cold, staring at He Ping, and shouted in a deep voice: "Sit down!"

His power at this time is very different from when he first came, even if he is unruly and peaceful, he does not dare to disobey him. He Ping snorted in his nostrils and sat down obediently.

Yan Long said to Zhan Jinfa: "You are wrong, the reason why Elder He wants to beat you is not because he is crazy, but because of the silver! If the silver is not enough and the turnover cannot be turned, maybe Elder Zhang will come to beat you next year, and Elder Wang will come to beat you the year after, and what is worse is that if you can't scrape together another 600,000 taels of silver next month, the eleven rudders who have not received the salary may all join forces to beat you." ”

Zhan Jinfa drank a glass of wine and sighed, "Alas, boss, I don't know these truths. It's just that there is no money, there is no money, the silver above has not been allocated, and there is no silver below, what can I do?

Yan Long smiled: "Haha, Elder Zhan doesn't have to worry, the silver is everywhere, it depends on whether you want to pick it up or not." ”

Yan Long's words even brought up He Ping's interest. He asked, "Deputy Hall Master Yan, what do you mean by this?"

Yan Long glanced at the three of them, and said slowly: "Because the rudder below is not out of money, nor is it that there is no way to make money, but because they don't dare." ”

Zhan Jinfa had been in charge of finance for decades, so he naturally understood what Yan Long meant, so he sighed and continued: "Deputy Hall Master Yan, what you mean, I don't know, it's just that it is not allowed to branch private salt and iron, operate trade, plant manors and other side businesses, it is the rule set by the Changkong Gang General Hall. We had to start with ah. ”

"The original intention of the Changkong Gang Headquarters was to let the brothers of the rudder of Shanhaitang concentrate on fighting the Houjin Army and not be distracted by other things, but the Shanhaitang at that time was not large, and the rudder organization was small and fine, so naturally there was no need to worry about the logistics of food, clothing and housing. But now there are hundreds of people in a rudder, thousands at most, and even tens of thousands. If you have to rely on the mountains and seas to draw money to help, let alone fight against the Jin army, it will be a question whether you can survive or not. What is the use of this empty paper in the main hall?" Yan Long said.

Zhan Jinfa raised his head, with a look of distress in his eyes, and asked Yan Long, "Then what do you say?"

Yan Long said resolutely: "Lift the ban completely, let go of the authority, and be self-reliant." ”

"What do you mean?"

"Repeal the previous ban on not allowing all branches to do business, planting, mining, and trafficking, and tell them that Shanhaitang will not distribute money and grain in full according to the usual practice this year, and from next year, it will no longer pull out money and food. It is limited to two years, after which each rudder must not only solve all the money and food supply of its own rudder, but also pay tribute to Shanhaitang every year. The amount of tribute is determined according to the size of the rudder and the operating conditions. Yan Long said eloquently.

When Zhan Jinfa heard this, he couldn't help but gasp and said, "Deputy Hall Master Yan, you want each rudder to have its own system and set up its own door." ”

Yan Long smiled: "No, no." This is called the dispersion of the form and the dispersion of the spirit!"
