Chapter one hundred and eighty-six, days without pay

In order to enhance its strength and take revenge to Dongfang Bubai, Ren Woxing started his second entrepreneurial journey.

While the major forces were attracted by the martial arts conference, Ren Woxing continued to regain the three religions and all the vassals in the world, and even the vassal forces of many major sects were forcibly pulled under their command.

With the power of the "Three Corpse Brain Divine Pill", it is simply unfavorable. The successive successes have made Ren Woxing, who is unwilling to be lonely, turn his attention to the prestigious sects.

Intent to secretly control disciples of various sects through the "Three Corpse Brain Divine Pill" to provoke disputes between good and evil and prepare for regaining the foundation.

"Master, the Five Mountains Sword Sect is not easy to mess with now. Otherwise, we will go north first and find a way to deal with Dongfang Bubai after we have eaten up the territory of the Northern Alliance!"

Looking at the ambitious Ren Woxing, Xiang Wentian felt like crying without tears. The progress of the past few days has been going well because they are currently only in Jiangnan where Wu Feng is not left.

Since the collapse of the Southern Alliance, Jiangnan has no local forces. Although Shaolin, Wudang and Huashan have extended their power, it is only a collection of protection fees.

Ren Woxing's merger was carried out secretly. Even though the martial arts forces in the Jiangnan area were incorporated, there was still no shortage of protection fees on the surface.

The only thing that can be considered a major local force is the Buddha Sect, which has its forces all over the world. However, compared with the martial arts forces, the Buddha Sect is obviously more like a religious organization, with all under its command.

He was still afraid of Ren Woxing, but he only controlled some monks who often moved in the world. Ren Woxing did not dare to act rashly towards those guys who stayed in the temple every day to recite scriptures.

After all, the Three Corps Brain Divine Pill is not a god. If he encounters someone who is not afraid of death and reveals the inside story, he will become a public enemy of the martial arts world.

Looking at the nervous little brother, Ren Woxing laughed and said, "Don't worry, brothers! Now that the Five Mountains Sword Sect is powerful, I am not stupid, so I will not face them head-on.

However, although the strength of the Five Mountains Sword Sect has grown, the person in charge is still the guys who are more than ten years ago. As far as the leader knows, there are a lot of cartilage in it.

Grab a few cartilage bones and force them to take the Three Corpse Brain Divine Pills, and secretly control them, and they will not be discovered at all."

When he was talking, Ren Woxing's eyebrows obviously frowned, as if he had recalled something terrible.

Even after more than 4,000 days and nights, Ren Woxing still could not forget the humiliation of Hengshan in the past. If it weren't for the lack of strength, he would have killed Mount Hua to take revenge.

"Master, this matter..."

Before Xiang Wentian finished speaking, Ren Woxing interrupted and said, "Okay, brother Xiang. This matter ends here, let's follow my master's plan!

At present, the Huashan Sect is busy holding a martial arts conference. It seems that those hypocrites are now preparing to cooperate with the court and go abroad to get a share of the pie.

You should not have time to pay attention to the disputes in the world in a short period of time, and this is the best opportunity. As long as we make a big noise, we will not attract their attention.

This step is destined to take. The only one who can kill Dongfang Bubai from all over the world is the Huashan Sect."

The hazy Linghu Chong was completely immersed in the gentleness land and did not notice anything happening around him.

Following Ren Woxing around to "visit" martial arts fellow workers, his life was leisurely and he had no idea that he had stepped into the whirlpool of the storm.

From time to time, he also acts as a thug and plays the role of "peacemaker", which is called "helping resolve grievances in the world."

Anyway, as long as you eat one three-corpse brain god pill, you can understand any grudges. If you touch a hard bone, you will naturally be killed.

Fortunately, Ren Woxing is now entering the village in a low-key manner and there is no major storm. Otherwise, the news that the Emei Sect’s great disciples defected to the Demon Sect would immediately cause a sensation in the world.

...

In the farming era, every major natural disaster will trigger a wave of farmers' bankruptcy, and this time is no exception.

Before winter could end, many northern families were on the verge of collapse. The losses caused by earthquakes were not so easy to smooth out.

Although the cost of building a house is low these days, not every family has the capital to get a house at any time. But the winter in the north is particularly cold.

For many northern families who lost their houses, this earthquake was a catastrophe. Even if they were lucky enough to save the house and only damaged some pots and pans, it would be a considerable expense.

Especially miners' families, countless mines and tunnels collapsed, not only did they lose their livelihoods, but many families also lost their pillars.

If you have some family background, you can still support it. A poor and innocent family can only sell their children and daughters in order to survive the disaster.

Especially in the northwest region, which was already suffering from drought, now there is another wave of people, and countless civilians can't live a life.

The relief from the court was just a drop in the bucket. Even the powerful Emperor Shenwu could not change the bad habits of the Ming Dynasty's officialdom.

What's more, the earthquake affected ten provinces and various places, with different losses, with as many as tens of millions of people affected. The millions of disaster relief silver allocated by the court were far from meeting the demand.

Seeing that the New Year was approaching, Guanzhong could not find a trace of New Year's joy, and various urgent documents filled Li Mu's desk.

Refugees constantly pouring out from the northwest region fill the entire Guanzhong land like hungry children, waiting for relief.

In fact, this is the result of Huashan disciples who have no experience in disaster relief and blindly rescue them.

At the normal pace, these people just borrowed from Guanzhong and then diverted them in Tongguan, heading south and north to north.

In the end, 90% of people will fall halfway, and less than 10% of people will be able to make a living outside.

As for staying in Guanzhong, everyone no longer considered it. Because in the past, the people of Guanzhong ran away with them.

The situation has changed now. Thanks to Li Mu's strong demands, government offices in Guanzhong are actively carrying out disaster relief.

The Huashan disciples who participated were soft-hearted and relieved the victims who fled because of their lack of relevant experience, and then these people remained and refused to leave.

I saw the disaster victims pouring in and leaving. As the number of victims gathered, the disciples who were in charge of the disaster relief realized that the matter was going on and hurriedly reported to the mountain.

"Five hundred thousand victims" is undoubtedly a horrifying number. Even if you are used to the strong winds and waves, the sword energy Chongxiao Hall is still solemn.

Li Mu was full of "money and food" when he didn't bother to deal with the disciples who caused trouble. This was not his tyrant, but his wealth was not rich enough.

Apply a set of popular formulas: "Natural disaster + expedition order = rising grain prices".

Even Huguang, the hometown of fish and rice, and Bashu, the country of Tianfu, have now risen by two or three levels, and the price of grain in Guanzhong has doubled.

As the largest grain wholesaler in the northwest, Li Mu can responsibly say that this surge in grain prices has nothing to do with hoarding, it is purely because of the misalignment of supply and demand.

The influx of a large number of victims broke the balance of grain supply in Guanzhong and caused shortage of grain supply in a short period of time.

The sorghum rice that was originally three cents per stone can now be sold for one or two stones, but can only be supplied in limited quantities.

When purchasing grain from abroad, Huashan School increased its purchase volume as early as the earthquake, but with the traffic conditions these days, the transportation speed could not be increased at all.

"The situation in Guanzhong is getting worse and worse. According to the information gathered in various places, the number of victims is still increasing.

The food we have in our hands can be supported until the end of the month at most. This is still calculated, three batches of food that can arrive in Guanzhong within the month.

The situation of other grain traders in Guanzhong is not much better, and no one knows that a major earthquake will occur, and it is impossible to predict that so many victims will gather in Guanzhong.

There are only two ways before us, either sending the victims away or finding ways to get enough food.

In recent years, we have done a good job in Yizhou. We have stockpiled 200,000 stones of grain there, but because of the distance, we can't transport it at all."

Zhang Bufan said haggardly.

It can be seen that the recent disaster victims have made the logistics manager of the Huashan faction almost collapsed.

Hoarding food requires cost, and as the storage time increases, the food will gradually depreciate.

Unless you can confirm that there is a big market in advance, no one will hoard it for no reason. After all, commodities like grain usually make money by volume, and there is no huge profit at all.

After hearing Zhang Bufan's words, the atmosphere inside became even more tense. No one dared to make a decision without authorization when it came to the life and death of hundreds of thousands of victims.

Especially those who went down the mountain to participate in disaster relief, they were now even more depressed, as if they were upset about their messing up sect missions, and as if they were worried about the livelihood of the victims.

"well!"

After sighing, Zhou Qingyun said slowly: "How much can you save, count how much! The killing disaster in heaven and earth is coming, and it is impossible for people not to die. The only difference lies in who the dead is.

It is their fate to be able to survive this disaster, and it is destined to be unable to survive. There will be more people dying next, so don’t be under too much pressure!”

After practicing Taoism for more than 20 years, Zhou Qingyun has long been no longer the same as before. With the continuous improvement of Taoism, his vision of looking at problems has also changed.

Although Taoism emphasizes entering the world in troubled times to help the people and accumulate merits, it also agrees that Tao follows nature.

If you really fantasize that everyone can save you, the final result will often be that no one can save you.

Looking at the sky, Li Mu slowly said, "Let's go in three steps! Junior Brother Yue, please visit the merchants, clans, and temples in Guanzhong, and ask them to take out some money and grain to respond to the emergency first.

Brother Wang, you are responsible for coordinating with Shaanxi soldiers and preparing for the road. First recruit young and strong people from the disaster victims and join the Western Expedition Army to prevent them from staying among the people to cause chaos.

Brother Yao, you are responsible for organizing immigration work. From now on, stop the previous relief for all employees. If you want to get relief, you must immigrate overseas.

If there is not enough food in Guanzhong, it will guide the victims all the way south. The more we go south, the less difficult it will be for us to raise grain. This is their only way to live.

Senior Brother Cai is responsible for communicating with the government, martial arts factions and gentry along the way, and asked them to cooperate with immigration work."

In the cold winter, people can move their families with their families for tens of thousands of miles, and they can't even pass the Spring Festival, which is really inhumane.

Even Li Mu could have imagined that countless victims would fall on the road to immigration because of their lack of health and poor adaptation.

But facing the continuous disaster victims, Li Mu could not think of a better way. Letting the victims go overseas to make a living was the only way he could think of.

Perhaps everyone's feelings are not obvious now. If the disaster continues and the entire Ming Dynasty will be short of food, it will be a real disaster.

Compared with the imminent lack of food, the financial crisis caused by disaster relief is nothing.

In a sense, the convening of this door-to-door meeting was also to inform everyone that the Huashan School would tighten its belt and live a life.

Don’t count on salary or something for the time being. When will the financial situation improve and when will it come to collect it again!

Anyway, this is not the first time. All older elders have experienced the days when they are not paid.

The real comfortable life is actually just the past decade. In the past few hundred years, the Huashan School has owed salary for middle and senior management every few days.

At the poorest moment, the sect's finances went bankrupt directly, and even the salary of ordinary disciples could not be paid for at one point, which made it very miserable.

The situation is far from worsening to that point. Although the pocket is cleaner than the face, at least the Huashan Sect has become the largest sect in the world.

As long as the sword in your hand is sharp enough, you don’t have to worry about not being able to borrow money. The strong don’t need to go bankrupt.
