Qing Zhou’s speed was extremely fast, and he returned to somewhere above the camp in a short time.
"Brother Mo, we're here." Han Yunzhi took the initiative to remind him while glancing downwards. While speaking, his eyes flickered slightly, as if he was expecting something.
"Go back and have a good rest. Remember to come to me when you are free in a few days. I will discuss something with you." Mo Juren did not notice the strange look in the other person's eyes. However, what he said made Han Yunzhi feel happy in his heart. "I'm fine. I'll be fine tomorrow."
"Tomorrow?" Mo Juren thought for a while and then said,
"That's okay, just go directly to the stone house where Tianhua Tower is located."
After the business was finished, the two women flew out of the green boat, and Mo Juren did not stop any longer. With the magic power under his feet, the green boat flew away in an instant, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
"What is it, so mysterious?" In mid-air, Su Laner looked at the direction Mo Juren was leaving, and suddenly asked, her eyes filled with curiosity.
"I don't know either." Han Yunzhi shook her head slightly, with a trace of doubt in her eyes. She really didn't know what it was, but one thing was for sure, it was definitely not a bad thing.
"Really?" Su Laner whispered in a low voice. It involved other people's secrets, but it was hard to ask anything. However, a sense of loneliness arose in her heart for no reason, and the feeling was indescribable.
……
Mo Juren did not return to Tianhua Tower, but Qingzhou flew directly to the stone house where the logistics was located.
"Uncle Mo..."
"Uncle Mo..."
"..."
As soon as he entered the stone house, he met several deacon disciples. Seeing his arrival, they all took the initiative to say hello.
"Is Manager Wang here?"
"Yes, uncle, wait a moment, I'll go and notify..."
Upon hearing his question, one of the clever disciples immediately responded and then trotted back.
Mo Juren did not stop, but also left the hall. A moment later, he had arrived in front of the stone house where he worked. Just as he was about to enter, he suddenly saw Wang Tong hurriedly approaching from a distance.
"Senior brother is here, let's talk first." Seeing the other party approaching, Mo Juren smiled and took the initiative to invite.
Wang Tong looked slightly startled, and then followed him into the room. After sitting down, he asked directly: "Junior brother, what do you want to see me for?"
"It's a bit of a personal matter, I want to discuss it with my senior brother," Mo Juren replied directly without making any detours.
"Junior brother, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly. As long as Wang can do it, I will go through fire and water." When he heard that the other party had something to do, Wang Tong immediately reacted. It's good to have something to do. He was just worrying about how to get closer to the other party. Isn't this an opportunity?
Are you here? I figured everything out in a flash, and quickly responded positively.
"Senior brother, it's serious. It's just a trivial matter. There's no need to go through fire and water." Mo Juren smiled and continued,
"If I remember correctly, the time for the sect to distribute supplies once a month should be coming soon, right?"
"There are still about ten days." Wang Tong nodded and replied.
Each of the seven parties has subsidies for foundation-building disciples who participate in battles. They are divided into two types: one is a fixed subsidy, which is paid out once a month, and the other is a wartime subsidy, which is given out once before each war.
Subsidy materials mainly include four major categories: spiritual stones, magic weapons, elixirs and spiritual talismans. However, because the reserves cannot be completely complete, some small categories will be different.
The quality of the materials distributed is naturally not high, but there is no discount at all in terms of quantity. On the contrary, it is very generous.
For example, before the war, disciples in the Foundation Establishment Period only had one mid-level spiritual stone per year, but now it is directly mentioned as one per month, which has increased more than ten times.
In addition, there are magic weapons, most of which are mid-level, so everyone can guarantee one. And once they are damaged, they can be reported directly and the damaged magic weapon can be directly exchanged for a intact magic weapon of the same level.
As for the spiritual talismans, because the materials required for refining are low-priced, just some demon blood and talisman paper, the quantity distributed is the cheapest. Of course, in terms of quality, they are only elementary, middle and low-level, and only the most common dozen types.
After all, this level and type of talismans are what ordinary talisman masters are best at. The refining efficiency is high and the cost can naturally be reduced to the minimum.
Finally, there is the elixir, which is also of low quality. However, because it is so important and is a life-saving item, it is basically the first choice of all monks. Therefore, it is an absolute hot commodity and only the disciples at the front can receive it.
To.
"Ten days?" Mo Juren murmured, as if he was thinking about something, and suddenly said,
"How are the reserves of materials? Can they meet the next distribution demand? Mo came in a hurry and did not check the warehouse. He really does not understand the inventory situation."
"This... is naturally not enough." Wang Tong couldn't help shaking his head, but hurriedly explained,
"Junior brother should know that this is wartime, and the demand for various materials is too great, especially spiritual stones, spiritual talismans and elixirs. They are all consumables, and no matter how much we reserve, they will not be enough. And even magic weapons, because
As the number of battles is frequent, its damage rate is also alarming, so it also requires massive replenishment."
"Hasn't the sect already taken measures? The spiritual mines and elixir gardens in various places are operating at full capacity, and the Shenbing Pavilion, Lingfu Pavilion and Baidan Valley have centralized supplies. Still not satisfied?" Mo Juren asked again, with a timely look on his face.
He looked like he didn’t understand anything.
"How can you be satisfied?" Upon hearing this, Wang Tong suddenly showed a wry smile, thinking that the other party really couldn't understand this, so he patiently explained,
"The sect has indeed taken measures. If the Divine Weapon Pavilion, Lingfu Pavilion and Baidan Valley can operate normally and at full capacity, they can naturally meet the current needs. After all, the materials distributed are not of high grade. The weapon refiners and talisman makers in the sect
It is not too difficult for teachers and alchemists.
However, it is wartime now, and everything is different from usual times. The demonic side constantly sends out elite teams to sneak attacks everywhere. The raw materials, spiritual mines and elixir plantations in various places have been greatly damaged, resulting in a sharp decrease in various resources. The Shenbing Pavilion
He Baidan Valley has long been unable to operate at full capacity.
In this regard, the situation in the Lingfu Pavilion is better. After all, there are no restrictions on the materials required for refining the spirit talismans. The demon blood has its own Wanling Palace to open the supply, and the production of talisman paper is also extremely cheap. What really determines how much spiritual talismans are produced is not
It’s not the materials, but the number of Talisman Masters and their own mana consumption and skill proficiency. As a genius Talisman Master and the deputy master of the Lingfu Pavilion, my junior brother should know more about this."
"Since there are not enough supplies, how did you solve it before?"
"Of course I purchase it from elsewhere." Wang Tong did not hide it and continued,
"Junior brother Wanbao Pavilion should be familiar with it. It is a large-scale commercial store that has been established since the establishment of the Seven Sects. With the support behind the Seven Sects, after thousands of years of operation, its tentacles have long spread throughout the Yue Kingdom, and even
There are dozens of countries around.
Therefore, there is absolutely no shortage of channels in the other party, and the resources are extremely abundant. Whether it is raw materials, various magical weapons, magic talismans, elixirs, and other finished products, they are all available."
"The cost of purchasing from Wanbao Pavilion is not low, right? Moreover, since it is a common asset of the seven sects, have you never thought of including it in the centralized supply system?" Hearing this, Mo Juren's eyes flashed with something strange,
Fleeting.
"The cost is naturally high. After all, Wanbao Pavilion is a purely commercial store and cannot give up profits. As for why it is not included in the centralized supply system, this... with the wisdom of junior brother, it should not be difficult to guess." Wang Tong obviously knew this.
The reasons are not explained clearly.
Mo Juren naturally knows the reason clearly. In the final analysis, it is nothing more than a matter of interests.
Behind Wanbao Pavilion are the senior leaders of the Seven Sects, not all the owners of the Seven Sects. There is an essential difference between the two.
As for how deep the water in Wanbao Pavilion is, everyone knows that thousands of years of operation have made it extremely large. Not only the seven sects, but also the entire Yue Kingdom, including all the commercial activities of many families, are closely related to it.
The connection.
Even Tianhua Tower is also a member of this huge pyramid system.
With such a large Wanbao Pavilion, as long as it can continue to operate, the profits generated are unimaginable. And these profits will naturally flow into the hands of the senior leaders of the seven sects, and have nothing to do with the large number of ordinary disciples.
Let’s talk about the war. Regardless of the fact that the Seven Sects distributed a large amount of materials to the disciples participating in the battle, in essence, these materials will not disappear, but will flow or transform, and will eventually be gathered in Wanbao Pavilion through various channels.
It is equivalent to returning to the hands of the senior leaders of the Seven Factions.
It sounds a bit general, but it’s actually not difficult to understand.
Take spiritual stones as an example. The spiritual stones that monks receive subsidies can be used for two purposes.
One is consumption, which is used to buy the materials you need. In this way, this part of the spiritual stone will flow upward bit by bit through trading activities, and finally return to Wanbao Pavilion at the top of the pyramid. And trading activities must be profitable.
The asymmetry of information and status will cause the monks to be harvested layer by layer without knowing it, and the profits will also flow into Wanbao Pavilion.
The other is for personal use, such as practicing and absorbing the spiritual energy in the spiritual stone. In this way, the spiritual stone is consumed.
It should be noted here that it is true to consume it, but it does not disappear. Instead, it is transformed into the monk's own strength, which will then participate in the battle. As long as he can win, he will basically be captured.
Except for some of the seized materials for personal use, most of them will still be traded. In this way, the monks will be harvested by the business system in the entire camp again.
The same is true not only for spiritual stones, spiritual talismans, magic weapons, and elixirs.
However, this refers to a normal situation. If a monk directly loses his life while participating in the battle, that is another matter. Not only are the people gone, but the supplies are also gone forever, which is a real loss.
For the senior leaders of the Seven Factions, the business logic of the entire war is actually very simple. As long as the large number of casualties among the combatants can be avoided as much as possible, then the losses can be greatly reduced while the business system headed by Wanbao Pavilion continues to operate.
.
Of course, the above are just pure theories, and there is still a huge gap between them and reality.
War is war, so how can there be no casualties? The seven factions are not strong enough. They have fought countless battles with the devil on the front line. Basically, they have lost more and won less. There are countless casualties and the losses are not insignificant.
In addition, various resource bases in the rear are constantly destroyed by sneak attacks, which is equivalent to being continuously disintegrated from the foundation, and the losses are even more difficult to estimate.
Under such circumstances, how could the top management of the Seven Sects ask Wanbao Pavilion to change its model and continue to operate independently?
"So, the materials that are currently in short supply will all be purchased from Wanbao Pavilion?" After withdrawing his thoughts, Mo Juren asked again.
"That's true." Wang Tong nodded, and suddenly, as if he thought of something, he tentatively said,
"Junior brother has Tianhua Tower in his name. If you are willing, you can also participate. Anyway, it is just to replenish reserves. As long as it does not affect the sect's grand plan, it doesn't matter where you buy it from."
"Is this...appropriate?" Mo Juren asked with a strange look in his eyes.
