Chapter 408: The Biggest Problem
In the Shenzhou Continent, the wind of cultivation prevails.
Regardless of whether the family is rich or poor, whenever a child in the family is born, the first thing to do is to test whether they have the qualifications to cultivate, and if there are some, even if the family is bankrupt, all families will try their best to send their children to the Taoist government.
Of course, this is only for children with average qualifications, if the qualifications are good, they will be contested by various factions, and in such a competition, the child's wishes must prevail.
Even if they are their parents, if they are mortals, most of them do not know whether the various sects are strong or not, and most of the directions they choose are the powerful sects in the mouths of ordinary people.
And after the Dao Sect annexed the Qingshui Sect, it was obvious that it was already one of the powerful sects in their mouths.
There is a steady stream of newcomers competing to join, and I am afraid that the development of the Dao Sect will not be slow.
"If this situation can be maintained, it won't be long before we can really gain a foothold in Zhongzhou by the Dao Sect!"
Standing on the top of the Zhudao Mountain, looking at the thriving scene everywhere in the Zhudao Mountain, Ling Fan couldn't help but sigh, and after a while, he saw a disciple walking towards him, this person Ling Fan recognized that he was in charge of the enrollment work of the Zhudao Sect.
"Tell me, what's the enrollment situation today?"
"Sect Master, fifty disciples have been recruited today, all of them with intermediate qualifications or above, and a few with good qualifications, and they have all been sent to the Void Ring Elder now. ”
This young man is also very capable, he is not fast or busy, he does not talk much, but he also says everything he wants to say.
Hearing that so many people had been recruited today, Ling Fan was a little worried in his heart.
The current process of recruiting students from one sect to another, not to mention that they will be asked for at will, and those with too poor qualifications will definitely not be recruited.
However, Zhongzhou is so big, and the qualifications of the people here are far better than Ling Fan imagined, even if the recruitment requirements are raised, there will still be many people who are included in the Dao Sect every day.
Thinking about the resources of the Dao Sect that were bottoming out day by day, he subconsciously wanted to order to stop recruiting students, but before the words could be spoken, he had already swallowed them back.
He knows that this enrollment cannot be stopped, and even in difficult circumstances, these outstanding talents must not be turned away.
Rejecting these people means that they will defect to other sects, which is invisibly helping other sects to develop in the future.
Moreover, although the resources are insufficient at this time, the resources can be found, even if it is a little tighter now, as long as it is a few years later, when these disciples grow up, the Daoist Sect will definitely be extremely strong.
"Sect Master, we don't have many resources anymore, do you want to suspend recruiting people for a few days?"
"No!"
Ling Fan gritted his teeth and said, "I can't stop, I'll find a way to find resources, you go and call Yang Feng." ”
"Yes!"
Although this young man didn't know if Ling Fan could find a way to solve the problem of resources, since Ling Fan said it, he believed it, nodded respectfully, and immediately turned around and went straight to Yang Feng's room.
This is not coping, but trust in Ling Fan, or even blind worship.
This kind of blindness may sometimes be fine, but within the sect, this kind of worship will also make a sect have supreme cohesion.
"Sect Master, are you looking for me?"
That young man was really efficient, and Yang Feng had already been found by him in just a moment.
"Yes, I have something to discuss with you. ”
Ling Fan nodded, pulled Yang Feng to the position of a stone bench in the distance and sat down.
"Brother Yangfeng, do you know that we have been recruiting people at a rapid pace recently, and we don't have enough resources?"
Ling Fan asked softly, but who knew that as soon as his words came out, Yang Feng was already bitter.
"Of course I know, all I've been busy with in the past two days is for this. ”
"But some eyebrows?"
Ling Fan asked expectantly, and it could be seen that Yang Feng had a wry smile on his face, and he already knew the answer in his heart.
"It's solved for the time being, I urgently transferred some from the Eastern Wilderness, and I want a lot from the Qingshui Branch, plus the wealth donated by the four of them from your empty ring, it's enough for the time being, but this is also temporary, looking at the speed of recruiting people now, I'm afraid it won't last long."
"Why don't we pause hiring for a few days. ”
Yang Feng's words made Ling Fan stunned.
can actually let Yang Feng say such a thing, it can be seen that in order to prepare resources, Yang Feng has been tortured into something.
And he also knew that such a demand for resources would probably be the norm in the future, after all, if these recruited disciples wanted to develop, I am afraid that the speed of resource consumption would never slow down until they really became teachers.
Looking at Yang Feng's bitter face, Ling Fan knew that Yang Feng's pressure was too great during this time, so he patted him lightly on the shoulder, which was considered comfort, but the words that came out of his mouth were 'no'.
Regarding Ling Fan's answer, Yang Feng seemed to have guessed it a long time ago, but he was not too surprised.
It's just that even so, Ling Fan explained it for him.
"During this time, there are only so many good seedlings who want to join the Dao Sect, and this is all the effect of our annexation of the Qingshui Sect, but there is always a time when this matter is forgotten by everyone, and when it is forgotten, I am afraid that these good seedlings will not come here. ”
"Therefore, we have to recruit people with good qualifications during this time, so that we can achieve explosive growth at a certain moment in the future."
Hearing Ling Fan's explanation, Yang Feng nodded in his heart.
Although he was reluctant, he had to admit that what Ling Fan said was right.
"Brother Yangfeng, talents are not something that can be had, as for resources, I will find a way, before that, I still have some on me, I will give them to you." ”
After Ling Fan finished speaking, he didn't wait for Yang Feng to refuse, he had already taken out a storage ring.
In this ring, everything but a few particularly precious things are stored.
He took out the ring and stuffed it directly into Yang Feng's arms.
Nodding helplessly, Yang Feng could only take it, and subconsciously glanced at the storage ring, thinking that Ling Fan's things might only be able to help them hold on for a day or two longer, but after seeing the items in it, he suddenly couldn't close his mouth in surprise.
"So much?"
He stared up at Ling Fan in surprise, and subconsciously said, "Sect Master, are you so rich?"
Yang Feng's words made Ling Fan smile bitterly.
These things were all saved by him by frugality, and Ling Fan's experience was too rich, so in his collection, whether it was spirit stones or magic weapons, there were a lot.
"These are indeed enough to last for a while, but we also have to think of a way to earn resources, and always rely on other people's contributions, which is obviously not possible. ”
With Ling Fan's things, Yang Feng was temporarily relieved, but he was still a little worried about the future.
"I've also thought of this, it's just that although the Qingshui Branch has income, it's not enough to support us, and the mineral veins and cities near us are under the control of the Tang family," Ling Fan smiled lightly at this point.
"Maybe I haven't been back to Tang's house for a long time, and it's time to go back and have a look. ”
After speaking, Ling Fan gave Yang Feng a simple order, and then turned around and left, going straight to Tang Yiyao's residence.
If you want to go back to Tang's house, you naturally have to call Tang Yiyao.
And when Tang Yiyao heard that Ling Fan was going back to the Tang family, he was naturally happy in his heart, and held hands, regardless of the eyes of others, and did not change the day, and immediately went to Tang Family City.
Tangjiacheng was very close to Zhudao Mountain, and although Ling Fan and Tang Yiyao did not rush at full speed, it didn't take long for them to come to Tangjiacheng.
Although Tang Jiacheng is guarded by guards, here, everyone knows about Ling Fan and Tang Yiyao, and when they see these two appearing, of course they will not stop them.
He was like the Tang family in the city, Ling Fan and the others did not stop, and went straight to the courtyard of the Tang family.
This Tang family city has not changed much from the last time I came here.
It's just that there is no noise when the competition recruits relatives, but there is a sense of tranquility and serenity.
The Tang family was located in the center of the Tang family city, and when Ling Fan and the others had just walked nearby, three people had already greeted them.
These three people were wearing armor unique to the Tang family, and at first glance they knew that they were monks of the Tang family.
"Young Master Ling Fan, Miss Yiyao, the head of the family has learned that the two of you are coming back and are already waiting in the main hall, please allow me to lead the way for the two of you. ”
The person who spoke was extremely polite, and Ling Fan and Tang Yiyao were a little unaccustomed to hearing it.
"Okay, then trouble this little brother. ”
Ling Fan returned the salute, which also made the Tang family monk a little flattered, and he didn't dare to say a few times, and then made a gesture of invitation and led the way in front.
Ling Fan is no stranger to the main hall of the Tang family, when Tang was loyal to the head of the family, Ling Fan had been here.
But since someone was leading the way, Ling Fan couldn't speed up, so he could only follow behind slowly.
Fortunately, the distance was not far away, and it didn't take a moment to arrive.
Outside the main hall, the three monks who led the way just stood at the door, making a gesture of invitation, Ling Fan nodded gratefully, and walked to the main hall with Tang Yiyao first.
The appearance of this main hall has not changed much from when I first saw it, but the people sitting in the room are completely different.
Things are not people, and that's probably the case.
At this time, there were only three people in the room, and it was Tang Han, the head of the Tang family, who was sitting in the middle, and Tang Zhongliang and Yan Shen were sitting on the left and right sides.
"Boy Ling Fan, meet Grandpa Tang, Uncle Zhongliang, and Senior Yan Shen. ”
Ling Fan was very familiar with these three people, bowed deeply, and said respectfully.
"Well, you kid finally remembered to come to see us, I thought you forgot about us people by taking advantage of your girl's abduction. ”
As soon as Ling Fan got up, he heard Tang Zhongliang's voice, although there was no hostility in these words, but in Ling Fan's ears, he always felt that there was a vinegar intent surrounding his nose.
"Oh, how can that. ”
He laughed awkwardly, scratched his head slightly, and didn't know how to answer, but fortunately, Tang Yiyao spoke in time at this time, which helped Ling Fan resolve his embarrassment.
"Father, you are not allowed to say that about my brother Ling Fan. ”
Tang Yiyao's voice was coquettish, and Ling Fan's body was a little crispy when he heard it, but Tang Zhongliang was unmoved, but looked at Tang Han in the middle.
"Hey, father, take a look, it's really a big girl, I haven't said anything, your granddaughter has already completely missed Ling Fan, you have to make the decision for me. ”
When you say this, everyone has to laugh.
