Chapter VII North-South Line
Like the Huaixian Pavilion, the Lishui Sect also had a Chongxuan bureau general manager stationed there, and this general manager was an old acquaintance, Wu Shanjing.
We haven’t seen each other for a few years. Wu Shanjing is already a Jindan monk. Because he has worked in Longquan Taoist Temple for a long time in the past, he is more familiar with Nanzhao’s affairs and has greater influence. It is precisely because of Wu Shanjing’s intervention that the division of Yongchang Zhao’s north and south
Only then can it be completed relatively smoothly.
There were a lot of people on the opposite side. More than ten people gathered around Wu Shanjing and Sanniangzi, waiting at the entrance of the village.
The third lady nodded to Gu Zuo and stepped aside. Zhao Xianglu immediately gathered around and started chatting with the third lady passionately. Women and women don't care whether they are tired of each other or despise each other.
But when they are together, they are closer than real sisters. This is why Gu Zuo brought Zhao Xianglu here.
Wang Ruhu, who was ordered to join the army in Husi in Lishui, came with the third wife, smiling all over his face, and greeted Gu Zuo diligently. In front of Gu Zuo, this guy actually regarded himself as an old friend, but he completely forgot how he treated Gu Zuo back then.
Gu Zuo had no intention of talking to Wang Ruhu. With his current status, he really couldn't. Therefore, Wang Ruhu's chat partner soon changed to Liu Xuanji.
When he came to Wu Shanjing, Gu Zuo was very respectful: "I have met Taoist Wu, and I congratulate him on entering the Golden Elixir Avenue."
Wu Shanjing was filled with emotion: "I didn't expect that Huaixian had already become a prince in less than five years since he came to southern Wuzhou."
Gu Zuo smiled and said: "Has the Chongxuan Office even called us princes? Regardless of whether we are princes or not, we benefited a lot from Taoist Master Wu when we first arrived. Without your care, Huaixian Pavilion would not have been able to win the South."
Wuzhou will never be what it is today."
Taoist Master Lingyuan and Wu Shanjing didn't have much of a friendship. After saying hello and chatting for a few words, they flew out to see the mountains and rivers.
Gu Zuo knew that he was probably familiar with the terrain and planned to bring Chao Yun to visit it in the future.
Wu Shanjing introduced to Gu Zuo: "This is Wanhe Sanren, the leader of Yongchanghui, and the leader of Yongchang Zhao..." After that, he introduced the rest to Gu Zuo.
Eight people came to the Yongchang Club, one water of golden elixir, which was also their characteristic. Gu Zuo noticed that three of them had a very subtle attitude towards him, as if they deliberately wanted to show some distance, but their attitudes were more attentive than others.
He is in a very contradictory state, that is, "standing in fear and fear."
Wanhe Sanren had a stinky face, and it was obvious that he was in a bad mood, so it was no wonder that he was in a bad mood. If a good Zhao country was forcibly divided into two halves, anyone would be upset if such a thing happened.
Gu Zuo understood very well and comforted him: "The Yongchang imperial edict is still the Yongchang imperial edict. This point has not changed. The Chongxuan Office only targets the affairs of the spiritual world. I believe that Sanren will treat them correctly. The specific details will be discussed by our law department, Liu Canjun, and you all. I
Just a few big principles."
The eight golden elixirs of Yongchang Club all stared at Gu Zuo, some with cold faces, some with nervousness, and some with disdain.
Gu Zuo didn't care and said: "Firstly, Huaixian Pavilion will not care about non-cultivation matters; secondly, monk-related matters should be reported to the Southern Wu Prefecture Justice Department for ruling; thirdly, sects and individuals can come and go as they please, but
If you want to make a living and run a business, the sect needs to apply for a new certificate, and the individual needs to apply for a practice certificate. These are the three things."
Someone immediately asked: "What about taxes, how to collect them?"
Gu Zuo waved his hand: "Liu Canjun, please give a detailed introduction."
Liu Xuanji stepped forward and said: "Everyone, everyone - Regarding the cards and practice certificates, Huaixian Pavilion has regulations. A card has twenty strings per year, and a practice certificate has two strings per year. Those who do not have a card, Huaixian Hall has regulations.
The Immortal Pavilion does not recognize his qualifications to practice as a sect and is not protected by the Huaixian Pavilion. The monks must hold a practice certificate, otherwise they are not allowed to enter southern Xinjiang..."
Gu Zuo and Wu Shanjing were chatting by Tang Fengchuan. Wu Shanjing said: "Huaixian Pavilion directly collects taxes based on the monk's head. Aren't you afraid that everyone will run away?"
Gu Zuodao: "If you can't even afford two sessions a year, you don't need such monks. They can go wherever they like. As for those monks who come to spend money, they don't need to find a way to make a living here, and they don't need to apply for a practice certificate. There is no need to talk about it.
Pay taxes.”
Wu Shanjing said: "It seems that you support the Chongxuan Department's edict."
Gu Zuo smiled: "I am the biggest beneficiary of this edict, so of course I must support it."
"You know what I mean."
"Haha, just kidding. Master Li said that there are too many monks in this world who are just pretending to be good. I have thought about it carefully, and it does make sense. Then let most people return to their ordinary life and don't compete for the road on the single-plank bridge of cultivation.
.To be honest, such a monk is indeed of little use, and is not as useful as an ordinary martial artist. The increase in the practice certificate is not the burden on the individual monk, but the differentiation of the monks. After applying for the practice certificate, those who are capable will have higher salaries and benefits.
, those who have no ability will gradually stop renewing their practice certificates.”
"What if no one applies for a practice certificate?"
"In the future, the Huaixian Pavilion will issue laws one after another. For example, those who enter southern Xinjiang to hunt and collect herbs must have a practice certificate. Another example is that the Southern Wu Army only selects monks with a practice certificate. Another example is that those with a practice certificate will have priority in enjoying Huaixian.
protection of the museum—especially when they suffer losses outside.”
"I heard that Huaixian Hall is famous for teaching without distinction. You have recruited disciples on a large scale many times. Does this violate this policy?"
"No violation, all disciples recruited by Huaixian Pavilion will have their practice certificates issued by the sect."
After thinking about it, Wu Shanjing laughed and shook his head: "I see, maybe one day in the future, the Southwest monks will be half out of the Huaixian Pavilion."
Gu Zuodao: "Isn't this what the Chongxuan Bureau wants? The bidding that day determined this outcome. In fact, I have been thinking, is the Chongxuan Bureau really not afraid?"
"What are you afraid of?"
"In the future, there may be several super sects with tens of thousands of monks under their command, a corridor for Yuanying, and a playground for Jindan."
"If this day comes, that's what the Chongxuan Department hopes to see."
"What's the meaning?"
"There are some things that I still don't know even though I am a member of the Chongxuan Department. I can only understand them if I become a great mage... But I am from an accountancy background, so there is one thing I can answer for you. If
If the situation you mentioned really happens one day, the Chongxuan Department will not be worried."
"Why?"
"Do you know how many spiritual stones the Chongxuan Agency used to subsidize to the world every year? We collected 1.5 million, dispersed 3.5 million in various ways, and subsidized 2 million every year!"
"I have heard before that Chongxuan Bureau will put a large number of spiritual stones into various auction houses. But I didn't expect that they would subsidize so much... Chongxuan Bureau has thirteen mine veins, which can produce two million spiritual stones.
?”
"Of course it's not that much. The shortfall is about 1.2 million, and it's all made up by using the previous savings. Now we can't supplement it, so all the heavenly masters and great masters unanimously agree with Master Li's proposition.
.After the 226 states and counties in the world were photographed, Chongxuan
The agency can get one million spiritual stones every year. Including our spiritual mines, we can get 1.8 million every year. Although the total amount is less than 500,000, we will only invest 1.5 million in the future. From this year
Starting from now on, the Chongxuan Department can earn 300,000 yuan a year instead of losing 1.5 million yuan in the past."
