It is drizzling and the sky is dark, making people feel depressed.
Jiang Feng was dressed in black, and together with the law enforcement elder Wang Xiandao, the general affairs elder Zheng Luda, the foreign affairs elder Wu Quanzhong, the transfer elder Wei Ruoguang, the weapon elder Zhao Wenjun, the head of the Wei family Wei Jie, the newly promoted Xuan-level monk Wei Chengyu, merged with the Mengjiao Secretary and the temporary deacon ordinary
Zhang Pule, Deacon Wang Yi of the Curtain Department, Wu Xianghua, a deacon of the Etiquette Department, Zheng Yiyu, a deacon of the Mirror Department, Ding Baozhen, a deacon of the Construction Department, Huangfu Runsheng, a deacon of the Military Struggle Department, as well as a group of monks with cultivation levels above the third level of the spiritual level,
The heads of the respectable secular families in Luochuan jointly paid homage to the victims of the East Lake Rebellion at Puxian Temple in the southeast of Luochuan.
Jiang Feng simply said a few solemn words of remembrance. In accordance with the rules passed down by the Qianshan Sect, he personally covered the three monks' tombs with new soil and planted "Wangxiang Rose Pine" next to them, praying that the heroic souls could be reborn in Qianshan as soon as possible.
Zong. All elders and visitors should form a row of three or five people and salute in turn to express their remembrance.
"I will avenge you Zhaoxue in my lifetime."
Three monks died in the Donghu County Rebellion, namely Ren Xiaolong from the original family Ren family, Zhou Cailing from Zhou Xing family, and Chen Xin selected by the county and town. There were 18 lay people, including 12 soldiers from the military division, regardless of whether they were alive or dead.
As a rule, whether they are concubines or not, they can be buried in the ancestral graves of their respective families. If their relatives wish, they can be given priority in being elected to public offices on their behalf. Their families are given plaques of "loyalty and bravery for a long time" to commend their children for their contributions to the sect.
Dedication.
All the pensions previously agreed upon by law enforcement elder Wang Xiandao had been paid in place before Jiang Feng returned to Luochuan. Since there were no spiritual stones in the warehouse, Jiang Hai coordinated to allocate the spiritual stones from the income paid by the Donghu County Changning Chamber of Commerce.
Jiang Feng is quite satisfied with the amount of the pension to meet his needs. The Qianshan Sect is indeed poor and weak, but we cannot save money in this aspect, otherwise we wonder who will serve the sect in the future.
The governors of the three counties Zhou Xing, Li Youde and Shen Junmao did not attend the memorial service. They each had their own duties and could not leave without permission. However, they sent memorial items as usual. Li Youde, the governor of Nuangu County, was the most generous. Dayi
The county guard Shen Junmao came second, and the Donghu County guard Zhou Xing was the least, but the quantity and quality were also etiquette. Jiang Feng wanted to comfort Zhou Xing in person. After all, among the monks who died, Zhou Cailing was a descendant of the Zhou family, and Chen Xin was Zhou Xing.
Disciple, if you think about it, Zhou Xing might as well not be here, and you will be saddened by the situation.
As for Qiu Zhenzhen, she had already returned to Luochuan in advance. She was also dressed in tightly wrapped black clothes and stood in the crowd with a solemn expression. As a rule, as the "head's wife" and a Xuan-level monk
, she can stand behind many elders and in front of the six division deacons, but she knows her situation, and when Jiang Feng is also present, she stands with Jiang Hai. If the status of the family members is distinguished, the position counts.
Reasonable and not disrespectful.
Jiang Feng had no time to pay attention to her for the time being. After the memorial service, he glanced at her, stopped the law enforcement elder Wang Xiandao who was about to leave, and went to Fengyu Tower together.
Last night, after he came back, Jiang Feng had already met with Wu Quanzhong, the elder of foreign affairs, and Zheng Luda, the elder of general affairs, to hear the former's information about recent foreign affairs activities. The businesshouse in Zhenwucheng, Li Zong, had been completed, and Zheng Luda had temporarily sent people to take over.
The Jincheng Sect's Huiyao City annex has also completed its expansion, but Fuhaimen, which is theoretically fine, has encountered some difficulties. This is mainly due to the recent chaos in Fuhaimen. According to Wu Quanzhong, Wei Ruoguang, the elder of the Chuan Gong, will
Regarding the matter, I went to Jiang Feng to report the details.
Jiang Feng told Wu Quanzhong that in one month, he would take him to Luoyingmen to prepare for the construction of Luoyingmen's annex in Taoyuan City. This shocked Wu Quanzhong. Before heading to the canyon, the leader had just mentioned that he would go there to communicate.
I didn't expect it to be completed so quickly and smoothly. While I admired it, I also had to think about who should be assigned to take charge of Luoyingmen.
Recently, the construction of the Qianshan sect's neighboring sects' annexes has been in full swing. Although funds are no longer a problem, the employment situation has become tight. He has to start thinking about whether he should ask Zheng Luda, the general affairs elder, to recruit some smarter talents.
Fortunately, the work of the Qianshan Sect's overseas annexes has always been mainly carried out by ordinary people. If monks need to be mobilized, it will be more difficult to plan. But he knows in his heart that sooner or later the supervisors of the annexes will be replaced by monks. This is
Common configurations of various sects. For this reason, he also directly suggested that the leader Jiang Feng consider this matter earlier and send a few spiritual-level monks to practice in order to prepare early.
As for the elder Zheng Luda, he mainly communicated with Beimu County on matters related to Beimu County. On the way back, Jiang Feng had personally checked the situation in Beimu County. The speed was much slower than he expected. Unlike the previous three counties, Zheng Luda was not as decisive and quick as before.
He also mentioned that the final details have been agreed upon, and they can sign the contract just when the middlemen from the Linglong Chamber of Commerce arrive. He has already communicated with Ding Baozhen, the deacon of the Construction Department, about the measurement and delivery of the land in Beimu County, and it has basically been completed.
As soon as the Lingcong Chamber of Commerce funds are in place, construction can begin. He has already communicated with the Ceremony Department, the Mirror Department and the Military Struggle Department about the appeasement work of the aboriginal people and the local security, and the other parties have made proper preparations.
The work in the third town of Fuyuan is progressing smoothly. Just as Jiang Feng was worried, if Zheng Luda hadn't gone to recruit a group of miners first, someone might have got there first, and all the miners would have been assigned to the mines in various places in the Qianshan Sect.
Work instead of staying in Fuyuan San Town. The labor price there has now tripled. The mysterious business store that suddenly appeared has stopped recruiting and has instead introduced workers from other sects. Zheng Luda has already approved the application form.
, the first batch of 60 workers from Lizong have entered Fuyuan Town and started preliminary prospecting work. : :
"Thank you." Just like when Wu Quanzhong and Zheng Luda were communicating, Jiang Feng and Wang Xiandao sat down and said the same thing in the first sentence.
"No, this is what I should do." This sentence made Wang Xiandao a little confused. What did hard work refer to, but there was nothing wrong with his words.
"What happened in Donghu County was very dangerous, wasn't it?"
"It's true. Now that I think about it, it's because I haven't moved my muscles for a long time, so I'm a little unfamiliar with fighting." Wang Xiandao showed a slightly humble smile, and the thrilling scene at that time was still vivid in his mind, "Unlike the leader, he often fights with others."
"I was forced to do it in a hurry. Our Qianshan Sect has always been kind to others. This kind of thing has rarely happened in the past seven generations. You also handled the pension issue well."
"Of course, those who shed their blood for the sect should be compensated. However, those who have made meritorious deeds have not yet received adequate rewards due to the sect's financial resources."
"There will be."
Jiang Feng knew what he meant. Although he still had plenty of spiritual stones in his hand and could provide suitable rewards, the reason why he found Wang Xiandao was to solve the problem of the sect's treasury through this matter. Whether it was compensation or rewards,
, Theoretically speaking, all expenditures should be made by the sect's treasury, not him personally. But on the one hand, the treasury is still empty. Maybe it will be better with the handover of the three counties at the end of the year. On the other hand, the treasury is empty.
The power to control is not in your own hands.
"Xiandao, what are your thoughts on the management of the sect's treasury?"
Huh? Is this coming?
Wang Xiandao was shocked. Regarding the matter of the sect's treasury, Wu Quanzhong, the foreign affairs elder, had mentioned it to him, and he was firmly opposed to it. Although he thought from his perspective, as a normal head, he could not control the sect's treasury.
, is extremely unreasonable, but this restriction originated from the agreement between the Wang family, the Wu family, and the Zheng family when Jiang Feng took over as the head.
The cost of the "Black Snake Spirit" ceremony reached two third-level coins at that time, which almost wiped out half of the three families' floating wealth. At that time, in order to avoid a cessation of funds, they had to sell some of the family's magical artifacts to tide over the difficulties.
.And all this is just because Jiang Feng is the legitimate successor, appointed by Ren Wo Dao, the ninth generation head.
Regarding Wu Quanzhong's suggestion, he did not give a clear answer. This suggestion could not be said to be reasonable. After all, there had been an agreement before, but it could be said to be reasonable. Therefore, he gave a vague answer of "Let's discuss it further. The sect is busy with affairs. If you are not busy,
Change these frivolous things.” Now, when the leader Jiang Feng mentioned it, the same answer seemed inappropriate.
"I think it can be managed by people who are good at calculations, fair and impartial."
Wang Xiandao thought for a while, and this answer seemed to be more pertinent. He neither indicated that he would return the treasury to the master, nor did he show his objection. He knew that if this matter went to the Presbyterian Council, Wu Quanzhong, who raised the matter, would definitely
It is in favor of both hands. Wei Ruoguang will most likely abstain. Zheng Luda has more than half the probability to agree. Zhao Wenjun is just a loser. But as there is only one Xuan-level monk in the family, he will most likely agree. In other words, he is the only one.
People will firmly oppose it, so the only thing they can do is to drag it away, or find ways to push it in an angle that is beneficial to themselves.
In fact, he has long since lost the pain over the costly spiritual stones he once paid. Moreover, the sect is currently prosperous. Judging from the situation of handling pensions this time, these spiritual stones are no longer important to the future of the Qianshan Sect.
What? It's just that he hasn't changed his opposition yet. Wu Quanzhong privately advised himself to let it go. To be honest, he was a little tempted and knew that there was no point in persisting like this.
But people have to stick to something, right? Otherwise, my reputation for so many years will be lost like this. He comforted himself like this, and did not continue to say the words "I think you can take charge personally."
"Who is more suitable?"
Wang Xiandao did not expect that Jiang Feng would continue to ask. Before he could answer, he heard the leader add, "It is best if you can convince the public. Our people in Qianshan are weak. If you are a newcomer, you can also experience a thing or two, and you will always learn from it."
The process from unfamiliarity to familiarity.”
Huh? Listening to the first half of the sentence, Wang Xiandao thought Jiang Feng was alluding to what he said, but the second half didn't seem to mean that. He really asked me to recommend a suitable candidate?
"The Qianshan Sect has been left with too many affairs. I may not be in charge of the sect very often in the future. Someone needs to be around to handle everything."
"This... is indeed difficult to consider among many monks."
Speaking of monks, Wang Xiandao thought of Wei Jie. When the Seventh Generation was in charge, Wei Jie was in charge of the Treasury, but it is different now. On the one hand, the Wei family has just added a Xuan-level monk and cannot add any more help. On the other hand, Qiu Zhen As the wife of the head of the family, Zhen Zhen's cultivation level is also suitable. If Wei Jie is mentioned as a suitable candidate, considering Qiu Zhenzhen's identity, she may be a more suitable candidate. Therefore, Wang Xiandao simply investigates the common things from his heart.
"How about Wang Juefu? He never avoids relatives when promoting talents. Although he is a layman, he has helped me manage the family treasury for many years." He mentioned a layman in his family.
"Can."
Wang Xiandao was stunned. The leader agreed too quickly. It was just a suggestion. I didn't expect you to agree. Before he could come to his senses, Jiang Feng added another sentence.
"After all, ordinary people have limited physical and mental energy. Let's take two apprentices. How about Ding Lingyu and Shen Chengsheng? Ding Lingyu is quite thoughtful. Although Shen Chengsheng is young, he is a monk. I think his Dharma appearance is average and the road is difficult. , it is better to cultivate one or two in another direction, which can also boost the Shen family in the future. After Shen Junmao went to Dayi County, there is now a lack of people who can take charge of the family affairs. Starting from assisting in the management of the large treasury can be considered as a kind of training. "
"This is good or bad, so as not to lose the inheritance." Wang Xiandao didn't have any objections to these two people. The Ding family and the Shen family were both on good terms with him, but Ding Lingyu didn't know that the head of the family had taken her in to fill the house. Whether or not he is gone, he must have some sympathy towards the leader, but the main people responsible are still the Wang family.
"We must remain impartial and not be partial to avoid any objections from each family. Remember to report to me any expenditure of twenty second-level coins or above. If there is a particularly urgent situation when I am not in the sect, you elders can discuss and decide as appropriate. It only requires the consent of three or more people.”
"Yes, this is natural."
"That's good," Jiang Feng suddenly stood up, dancing with spiritual power in his hands, he took down the jade box with his soul mark placed on the beam of Fengyu Pavilion and handed it to Wang Xiandao.
