"The master actually spoke like this for a woman. Are you really not afraid of chilling the hearts of all the disciples?"
Zhang Kebai stared at Master Baishi for a while, only to see him looking at him without fear and without any sign of repentance.
Zhang Ke shook his head, turned to the red-haired master and said:
"Chifa, what if I let you take charge of the sect?"
The red-haired master was startled and waved his hands quickly:
"Absolutely not. This disciple only knows how to fight at sea, how can he manage the sect."
Zhang Ke said slowly and authentically:
"Yes! You only know how to fight at sea, so I put you in charge of the 'Sea Patrol Department'.
If you were asked to manage the sect, you would certainly not be competent, right or wrong?"
The red-haired master had roughly understood what Zhang Ke meant and nodded silently.
Zhang Ke continued:
"Everyone has his or her own strengths. Everyone is independent, has different temperaments, and has different ways of doing things.
Only by putting the right person in the right position can he play his greatest role.
Chifa, I remember that when you were in our sect, before you discovered your abilities, you were just an ordinary Jindan Daoist.
Is it right?"
The red-haired real man lowered his head and whispered:
"yes!"
Zhang Ke continued:
"Junior Sister Biluo has a tough and decisive temperament and is fair and impartial in dealing with things, so I let her take charge of the storm trap.
This appointment was made by me. Does anyone have a better candidate than her? If so, please tell me.
Today I will not judge sin with words!"
All the disciples in the hall shook their heads slightly.
Master Biluo is fair and has always been respected by everyone.
Zhang Ke continued:
"Since everyone recognizes my appointment, it is strange.
Why did everyone suddenly not approve of my appointment when Master Qingzhi, who has super management ability, managed the sect on his behalf?"
The red-haired master opened his mouth, but not a single word came out.
The others also looked at each other without speaking.
Zhang Ke ignored everyone and continued:
"Since the founding of Nanzong, I have only been able to issue two decrees.
Why?
Because I know that even if I am True Lord Yuanshen, I am not as good as Lord Qingzhi in managing the sect.
That's why I entrusted the life and death of the twelve million people of our sect to her hands.
Because no one can do it better than her.
Chifa can't do it, Shiraishi can't do it, and neither can I..."
Listening to Zhang Ke frankly admitting his shortcomings, Xu Qingzhi felt excited.
At this moment, the grievances accumulated over the past decades seemed to have gathered into water vapor, ready to burst out of his eyes.
But she has always had a strong temperament, so how could she be willing to embarrass herself in front of everyone?
Therefore, he kept his eyes wide open, fearing that tears would flow out of his eyes.
Zhang Ke said this, looked at Bai Shi and asked:
"Can you manage a fleet of twenty-seven mountain ships and thousands of small boats?
If you say yes, then I will give you a chance to take charge of the 'Marine Patrol Department' in the next three years."
The red-haired master looked startled, and suddenly became nervous.
He never expected that he would not succeed in helping Shiraishi to replace the leader, but that he would soon lose his position as the "Sea Patrol Department".
Master Shiraishi glanced at the nervous red-haired master, thought for a moment, shook his head and said:
"I know nothing about naval warfare and am incapable of taking charge of the 'Sea Patrol Department'."
Zhang Ke said "Oh" and said again:
"Since you can't manage even a few thousand people, then why do you think you can manage the sect's twelve million people?"
Master Shiraishi was stunned.
In fact, he had never cared about the position of acting leader.
Although it felt good to be able to respond to everything at once, he had seen Xu Qingzhi look haggard and exhausted after working so hard.
But in the past few years, under the instigation and push of some people, even he himself didn't understand how he came to be the opposite of Xu Qingzhi.
It seems that everyone around him thinks that he should be the acting leader.
They had many reasons, such as Xu Qingzhi was using power for personal gain, suppressing his fellow disciples, raising naughty bosses, nepotism, and so on.
These words were so offensive that he didn't care at first and just laughed them off.
Master Baishi still very much agrees with Xu Qingzhi's abilities and character, and doesn't believe she would do such a thing.
However, three people become tigers, and everyone's opinions bring gold!
When people repeatedly instilled various similar words every day, Shiraishi also became suspicious of it.
Over time, even Master Shiraishi felt that he should take on the important task of steering the sect.
In fact, although he was vying for the position of acting head, he never had the thought of managing the sect in his heart.
To put it bluntly, he is actually a technical talent. He cannot be said to know anything about management, but he is only at the level of an ordinary person.
As everyone knows, the people behind the move are interested in his lack of management experience and his prestige in the ‘Southern Sect’.
Otherwise, if a more smart and capable person comes up, wouldn't it be a very unpleasant situation for yourself?
At this moment, Master Baishi couldn't help being stunned when he heard Zhang Ke's question.
If you say that you don't know how to manage, but you have already taken action, and there are so many people supporting you, then your behavior is not a joke.
The shameful knife is hard to sheath!
At this moment, he couldn't help feeling a little panicked, so he had to bite the bullet and said:
"Disciples still have some ideas on how to manage the sect..."
Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Ke had already interrupted:
"How many people are there in the sect now?
How many real people? How many innates? How many male and female disciples are there among the inner disciples?
How many people are there in the nine counties of Penglai now? How many babies were born in the nine counties today? How many men and women are there?"
A series of questions came from Zhang Ke's mouth.
These questions were like sharp arrows piercing Shiraishi's heart, leaving him unable to resist.
He barely calmed down his panicked mind and replied hesitantly:
"The sect now has more than 50,000 people, Jindan Zhenren has more than 600, Xiantian... Xiantian..."
Zhang Ke looked at the hesitating Master Baishi and shook his head, looked at Xu Qingzhi and said:
"Qingzhi, tell me."
Xu Qingzhi glanced at Master Baishi with his dreamy gem-like eyes, and said nothing for a long time.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Zhang Ke sneered and said:
"Why, don't you know this too?"
Seeing that Xu Qingzhi remained silent, Master Baishi breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhang Ke's power became more and more powerful, just sitting there felt like there was a mountain pressing on his shoulders.
At this moment, he was beginning to wonder if he had just been possessed by something strange. How could he dare to question Zhang Ke?
When Xu Qingzhi heard Zhang Ke's excitement, he couldn't help it.
It would be the greatest insult to me to be denied all my hard work over the years.
Taking a deep breath, a clear voice like the cry of a phoenix echoed in every corner of the hall.
"The sect now has a total of 119,647 inner and outer disciples.
Among them, there are 1,043 Jindan disciples and 31,229 Xiantian disciples.
Among the inner disciples, there are 2087 male disciples and 11142 female disciples, including Jindan and Yuanshen.
The current population of the nine counties of Penglai is 12,479,159. As of 9 a.m., a total of 960 babies were born in the nine counties today..."
Listening to Xu Qingzhi's talk, detailing down to single-digit data, Shiraishi's vision went dark, his mind was buzzing, and the sounds in his ears were far and near, and his heart fell to the bottom.
Shiraishi's arrogant head could no longer stay straight and could not help but hang down.
He seemed to feel the complicated looks from other disciples in the hall behind him, including regret, disappointment, hatred and ridicule.
At this moment, Master Shiraishi finally truly realized what it means to have a thorn in his back.
But he still felt a little aggrieved in his heart. He was not the acting head yet, so how could he know these things.
Zhang Ke waved his hand to stop Xu Qingzhi from continuing to elaborate.
After staring at Shiraishi for a few times, seeing that he was still a little dissatisfied, he said in a deep voice:
"Jin Ting, go get today's Di newspaper."
"yes!"
In less than two minutes, Yuan Jinting came in with dozens of newspapers.
"Boss, there are one hundred and twenty 'news agencies'. Today, only sixty-seven of them published the Di'an newspaper. They are all here."
Zhang Ke said ‘hmm’ and said:
"give him!"
Yuan Jinting handed a thick stack of newspapers to Baishi Zhenren.
After Shiraishi took it, he saw that the top one was the Penglai Di newspaper.
On the left side of the one-foot-square newspaper, clearly and eye-catchingly written were the words "Statistics of babies born today in the nine counties of Penglai".
It provides a detailed report on birth population data in each county, including male and female ratios, and the increase compared with yesterday.
Six hundred and forty-nine people!
This number is quite different from what Xu Qingzhi said, but Master Baishi understood that the data Xu Qingzhi said included the heirs of sect disciples.
I casually browsed through some of the remaining newspapers and found that the questions Zhang Ke asked just now can basically be found here.
Master Shiraishi was silent. As long as he paid a little attention, he could easily answer these questions.
But it may be useless to say anything now!
Zhang Ke stared at Baishi and asked:
"Are you convinced?"
There was silence in the main hall.
Seeing that Master Shiraishi didn't answer, he was obviously still dissatisfied.
Zhang Ke sneered:
"Do you feel that since you are not the acting head now, it is natural that you do not know these things?"
Master Shiraishi lowered his head and said nothing.
Zhang Ke continued:
"Do you think it's easy to manage a sect and you just need to give orders?
But have you ever thought that every instruction you give will affect the lives of 12 million people?
Since I want to be the current leader and I don’t even know the work I’m going to do, how can I dare to entrust these 12 million people to you?
I'm going to ask a random question that has nothing to do with management experience. Can you tell Qingzhi what you think now?"
He turned to look at the other disciples in the hall.
"If the disciples are interested, they can also participate."
The disciples standing by His Highness were refreshed. This was a good opportunity to show their abilities.
"There is such a family, because the head of the family is away from home all the time, so he handed over the power of the family to a female junior.
This family owns hundreds of shops, thousands of fertile lands, and millions of dollars of wealth. Their net worth is very high.
Since the head of the family was absent and there was insufficient external deterrence, some other families began to make plans to acquire these wealth.
But the woman who manages the family is very capable and manages the family in an orderly manner. Internal and external prosperity is like an iron barrel. It is impossible to break into this family from the outside to obtain wealth.
But no matter how strong the fortress is, it can't prevent the interior from being destroyed.
So they came up with a way..."
When Zhang Ke said this, his eyes with white shadows swept over everyone in the hall, and finally stopped on Master Baishi.
While looking at him, he continued:
“The members of this family are being corrupted bit by bit using various means such as wine, sex, wealth, and so on.
Those who are greedy for money will be given money, those who are lustful will be given beautiful women, and those who like to enjoy themselves will be given food, drink and fun to enjoy.
And those who are seeking fame and reputation are even more interested in him, praising him with flattering words, setting up a ladder to hold him high, and then pulling away the ladder so that he can't look back.
These family members who have been taken advantage of can only helplessly listen to others' orders.
In this way, after several years, a good family was turned into a mess and chaos.
At this time, the family had actually been broken through from within.
So, they elected that self-righteous fool to fight for the right to take charge of the family.
Only by letting this idiot take charge of the family can they divide all the family's wealth.
Now, here comes my question..."
Zhang Ke looked at some of the disciples who were shivering in the hall with an expressionless face, and said word by word:
"The head of the family has returned, how should we deal with these worms who have betrayed the family?"
