After Lin Xiao finished handling the affairs of Xuanyue City, he rushed back to Wu Kingdom. At this time, it had been almost ten years since the Beast Tide War ended. Wu Kingdom had also recovered from the losses of the Beast Tide. At most
In another ten years, we will be able to return to pre-war levels.
The low-level disciples of each sect have been replenished, but the high-level monks who died in the war will not be replaced for a while, and it will take some time. This situation is the same for all sects.
The Tiansheng Sect now only has a problem with its financial resources. It is no nonsense to spend all its century-old savings for the beast tide. It has not recovered yet. The reserve warehouse is still empty, and a lot of future profits have been misappropriated, such as the major businesses in Gongming City.
Qingfeng Pavilion has already paid the management fees for the next one hundred years. This is also a manifestation of the Wei State's support for the Wu State. The other businesses have not been so long, but it is normal to pay the fees together for ten or twenty years.
But Lin Xiao shouldn’t worry. The Tiansheng Sect’s ability to make money has always been very strong. With Baiyu City’s business channels, the existence of Baicheng merchants, and the stable production of Qianling wine and Baiwu tea, the annual profits
Far superior to other sects, as long as there is enough time, they can recover sooner or later.
After returning to the sect, Li Yiwen quickly brought two candidates to meet with Lin Xiao. His term was less than one year, and Lin Xiao had to make a decision as soon as possible.
"Master, the two candidates are just outside the door. Do you want to meet them?"
"Don't worry, you can tell me first which one you like."
"Master, this is against the rules. My suggestions, no matter what, will always have a certain bias."
"It doesn't matter, there are no outsiders here, it's just you and me. You have to retire and retire, so what are you afraid of?"
"Well, let me tell you, the first candidate is Huang Linyi, a disciple of the Huang family, and his great-great-grandfather is the elder Huang Kaifeng who followed the sect leader back then. The Huang family has not been very powerful in the sect since Huang Kaifeng.
It's just a big family among mortals. Now it has gone through the seventh generation. There are about more than 10,000 mortals of the Huang family, and there are only a dozen or so cultivators. The one with the highest cultivation level is the eighth floor of the Zifu.
Huang Kaifeng's favor has long been used up, so Huang Linyi's path is not smooth, and his qualifications are not good. He has held eleven positions in the sect. Before being promoted, he was the manager of Baicheng Company in Baiyu City, and he has made a great decision.
Less credit.
The second candidate is called Nan Xuan. He was born in a humble mortal family and had no support in the sect. In his early years, he became a disciple of a monk from the Zi Mansion. His master died during the battle between Wu Kingdom and Lu Kingdom. His master’s military exploits
The money and pension were handed over to him, and Nanxuan's path was quite smooth as a result.
He broke through the Dao Gang when he was one hundred and fifty-six years old. After that, he also sat in various places and could take charge of his own affairs. However, he was seriously injured in the Beast Tide War ten years ago, breaking an arm and cutting off the path, so he
Recommended for election as first elder.
These two people are the best candidates for the first elder this time. They are stable, sound and decisive. They should do a better job than me. Both of them have advantages and disadvantages in becoming the first elder.
For Huang Linyi, if he takes the first elder position, it will definitely give hope to the poor disciples in the sect and help unite the lower class disciples. And if Nan Xuan takes the seat, it will be conducive to the continuation of our Wu Kingdom's policies.
Starting from Elder Li Fengyue, the cultivation levels of several first elders are all at the Zifu level, and they have only been in office for more than a hundred years. It is inevitable for people to leave the tea. This Nanxuan is only in his early 200s now, even after he was seriously injured.
If you can't reach the limit of Daogang's five hundred lifespan, you will still have at least two hundred, fifty or sixty years in office, so you can better implement the leader's strategy."
"Huang Linyi, Nan Xuan, I have a better impression of Nan Xuan. He was the commander stationed on a spiritual mountain north of Guiwei Mountain. In order to prevent the army of monster beasts from entering the core hinterland of Wu Kingdom, he desperately stopped the monster beasts. Later, Bai Zichen went there
He only survived after being rescued. He didn’t redeem the elixir for repairing severed limbs in the sect?”
Lin Xiao thought about the impressions of the two of them. He had a deeper impression of Nanxuan. After all, in this beast tide war, not many Dao Gang monks died in the battle, and not many were seriously injured. He was one of them.
In the world of immortal cultivation, being disabled or losing a limb is not a very big deal. There are some precious medicines that can restore it. Although these medicines are expensive, it should not be difficult for a Taoist monk in Nanxuan to replace them.
"Nan Xuan had no one to support him after he broke through the Dao Gang. He was not rich and still had little to exchange for the precious medicine. Moreover, the chance of him consciously breaking through the aura was extremely slim, so he gave up on the Dao and devoted all his resources to his son and daughter.
Yes, he has
Three sons and one daughter, none of whom have good qualifications. It is worth mentioning that his wife was the daughter of his master at that time, and his master was an only daughter. In order to prevent his master's family from being cut off, one of the sons and one daughter were both
Those who take their mother's surname are considered to be kind and righteous people."
"There won't be any involvement behind his master's back, right?"
"No, his master also came from a poor family and had no one to rely on. He had several relatives, but his cultivation level was not high. Regarding the identity background investigation of the two of them, Ye Xiao, the Law Enforcement Hall, and the Integrity Hall have joint investigation reports.
,The leader can check it”
"I understand, let them come in"
Lin Xiao nodded, and then the two people who had been waiting outside the door for a long time came in. After saluting, Lin Xiao asked them to sit down and talk.
"Today, the leader of Japan came back to solve the matter of the first elder. You fought your way out of more than thirty candidates. It can be said that you are all good at it. The sect has affirmed this, but I
I’m also in a dilemma. You are both so excellent. Who should I choose?
So why don’t you talk about the campaign blueprint, analyze the current situation of the sect and the situation in the Wu Kingdom, as well as the sect’s future strategic direction and your specific policy policies, who comes first?”
"I am the master, let the young people go first."
"Okay, Huang Linyi, tell me first, your ancestor is also an old man who followed me to conquer the country. Look how outstanding Elder Huang's descendants are."
"Then Huang Linyi is more respectful than obedient. After the establishment of the Wu State, it suppressed several surrounding countries. The Lu State only had one-fifth of its original territory left. Although the Tian Eclipse State was far away, its combat power was mediocre. Cang State Wu Mu Yangshou
The Yuan Dynasty is not long, and the Xiang Kingdom in the east has always been poor and weak, and our Wu Kingdom has become the leader of several surrounding countries.
Within the territory of Wu Kingdom, our Tiansheng Sect is also outstanding, and the original overlord Danyang Sect cannot compare with our Tiansheng Sect. The future strategy of our Tiansheng Sect should be a strategy of one internal and two external.
Internally, developing financial resources, accumulating financial resources, and uniting the various sects of the Wu Kingdom are no more than words. All that is required is to follow Chief Li's strategy and continue to implement it.
There are two outsiders. One is White Jade City and Xuanyue City. This is an important place of wealth for our Wu Kingdom. We should continue to invest resources to increase operations and transfuse blood into the country. The other one is Qianluo Kingdom and Xiluo Kingdom. The two countries and our Wu Kingdom
Form an alliance, have great interests, and make up for each other..."
Huang Linyi talked eloquently and published tens of thousands of words of opinions. His policies were quite prudent and not outrageous. In fact, the position of first elder was indeed not suitable for people who took radical risks. With the size of Tiansheng Sect, there was no need for it at all.
Take risks to gain profit.
"Nan Xuan, it's your turn"
"Yes, Master, my opinion is similar to Huang Linyi's. I completely agree with what he said, but I also have some other ideas."
"Oh, you can tell me more carefully"
"If I am to govern, regardless of internal or external affairs, whether it is Baiyu City, Xuanyue City, or Xilao Kingdom, Qianluo Kingdom, everything will be for the development of the sect. The basis must be Gongming City as the benchmark, and each place as Gongming City blood transfusion, expanding the influence of Gongming City to the first place.
The second is that we cannot give up on the development of various spiritual mountains. Our Tiansheng Sect now has two spiritual mountains with fifth-level spiritual veins, but they are far from enough. There is still potential to be tapped in these spiritual mountains, especially Baiwu Mountain and Gongming City.
If the spiritual veins in these two places are upgraded to the fifth level, the benefits will be great, especially in Baiwu Mountain. Once the spiritual veins are upgraded to the fifth level, the range of the mountains will definitely expand. By then, they may not be able to be connected to the sect, but they can be far apart. The more we advance, the two are like horns to each other. The security of the sect and Gongming City must be improved several times. If a powerful enemy attacks from the west, you can imagine how difficult it will be.
Thirdly, it is easier to develop externally to the south than to the north. The wild demon clan launches a beast tide every three hundred years. How can our country of Wu sit back and wait for death, allowing them to come and leave as they please?
Nowadays, the human race and the demon race are silently developing their strength, so we must take action to interrupt the development of the demon race, send disciples into the wilderness, open up the wilderness, and at least move the buffer zone between the two races several thousand miles south. In the existing Within the buffer zone, support small families and casual cultivators to gain a foothold, and use this as a barrier to protect the core interests of our country..."
Nan Xuan also expressed his own opinion. In his opinion, annexing Lingshan from other countries would be worse than attacking monsters, and he hated the beast tide even more.
Why does he, the Purple-Eyed Demon King, come and leave whenever he wants? Wu Guo does not yet have the strength to conquer the wilderness on a large scale, but he is not willing to let the monsters have a good life, so he wants to send people to the wilderness to organize Hunt monsters, kill some important monster clans, and interrupt their development steps.
And move the buffer zone southward, and recruit and support small forces of casual cultivators to establish themselves in the existing buffer zone. These people have not yet been included in the Wu Kingdom system. If a beast wave breaks out, they will also be the cannon fodder of the Wu Kingdom. , can only provide a barrier for the Wu Kingdom, so it kills two birds with one stone.
"Very good. Both of you are planning for the country. I've made a note of it. You go down and rest. Within a month, the candidate for the first elder will be determined."
Lin Xiao waved his hand and asked people to leave, but Li Yiwen did not leave.
"Master Li, how do you think the two of them behaved?"
"They are all the pillars of our Heavenly Saint Sect, it is difficult to distinguish between superior and inferior"
"Yes, both Nan Xuan and Huang Linyi are good, but Nan Xuan's strategy is more to my liking."
"Master, this..."
"Our cooperation with the Qianluo Kingdom and the Xilao Kingdom is not just about making some money. The wild monster tribe will definitely be a serious problem for our human race, so it is good to be prepared in advance."
"I understand, I will do Huang Linyi's work this month."
"Well, depending on his performance, if he performs well, I will reuse him. I have already thought of a good position for him."
"Don't worry, Boss, Huang Linyi's mentality is not so bad."
Li Yiwen nodded. He was still confident about this. At this point, even if he did not take the position of the first elder, he would still be given a high priority, which is equivalent to compensation. (To be continued)
