The time to return home was not long, Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu only stayed for a few days.
In the past few days, Qi Xuansu has been meeting various relatives. It has to be said that after all, it is a big family. Starting from the elders of the Zhang family, to the "Ju" generation, and then to the "Yue" generation, there is no duplicate. There are at least hundreds of people. These are those who are qualified or have the connections to meet Qi Xuansu, and there are even more people who are not qualified.
After seeing them, Zhang Yuelu was a little confused because she didn't recognize them either. Some of them were even brothers and sisters they met for the first time. This is the disadvantage of having a big family. Many relatives are almost like strangers, even if they don't know each other.
Qi Xuansu originally wanted to visit Dazhen Mansion, but he didn't succeed.
However, there will be many opportunities in the future, and Qi Xuansu must visit Dazhen Mansion.
As Zhang Yuelu's wedding vacation came to an end, the two had to say goodbye to Da Zhen Mansion and return to Yu Jing.
This time, they took a ride on the Celestial Master's boat, because the Celestial Master was also returning to Yujing to prepare for the handover of the Great Master's duty with the National Master.
Zhang Wuyue and a group of Zhengyi people headed directly to the Southern Continent.
This time Zhang Wuyue tried to pull the big flag, relying on his recent good reputation, the face of Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu, and this rare opportunity for the Zhang family members to get together, and negotiated a lot of things, and many things were discussed between the two sides. I am also interested in investing in the Southern Continent, and this time I plan to follow Zhang Wuyue there to have a look, which is considered to be an on-the-spot investigation.
Zhang Wuyue acted a bit like a middleman, attracting investors, and then Huangfu Ji was responsible for reception. These people had a lot of spare money and wanted to make money. Xidaomen had just started and needed external funds. This is a good thing that can benefit both parties.
Afterwards, although Xidaomen will not rebate Zhang Wuyue, it will bring the relationship between the two parties closer. Xidaomen will provide many preferential policies and support. This is not a crooked way, but a matter of mutual consent.
One day in the future, the new port of the Southern Continent will be able to take off, and then drive the overall development of the Southern Continent, and Zhang Wuyue will have a share of the credit.
Speaking of which, this is a serious businessman, and a big businessman at that.
Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu returned to Yujing mainly for two things.
The first thing is that Zhang Yuelu officially returned to Tiangang Hall. After going around and around, Zhang Yuelu finally returned to the Tiangang Hall that she was familiar with. After Zhang Yuelu experienced the setbacks in Nanyang, she learned from the pain and decided to follow Qi Xuansu's advice, slow down and accumulate strength, so she Returning to Tiangang Hall this time, the main task is not to implement any reforms, but to select outstanding talents in Tiangang Hall, especially those with reliable ideas, good quality, loyalty to Taoism, and ideals and beliefs, so as to create a team of our own.
As early as when Qi Xuansu first joined Tiangang Hall, Tiangang Hall was already the place with the highest number of wild Taoist priests. Most of the wild Taoist priests had no family background, so they had fewer worries and less interests involved, and would be more supportive of Zhang Yuelu's reforms.
Therefore, Zhang Yuelu's effectiveness in selecting talents from Tiangang Hall is much higher than that of the local government. It has to be said that no matter where it is, there must be various local snakes and forces intertwined within the government. Chen Jianqiu is an example, and he seems to have no background. A very clean young man, but after getting to know him deeply, you will find that there are actually various intricate connections behind him. Although these connections seemed very fragile when he was inconspicuous, once he became prominent, the other end of these connections It will come to your door on its own, making it difficult to ensure its purity.
Zhang Yuelu is planning to inspect and reserve talents this time. Cultivation is the next best thing. The key is awareness and quality. She does not expect these people to play any role now, but has made long-term plans. If that day comes, whether it is She, Qi Xuansu, has ascended to the position of Grand Master. By then, these people will have grown up and will become their help in changing the Taoism.
And unlike the restrictions that Qi Xuansu received in Beichen Hall, Zhang Yuelu was at home in Tiangang Hall. Master Cihang would not stop her and would even listen to her opinions. She could easily manipulate some personnel adjustments to achieve her own goals.
As for other matters, Zhang Yuelu will not act rashly for the time being.
Patience now is for victory in the future.
Changing the Taoist sect is not a momentary whim of a hot-blooded boss
.
Qi is a long process, which may take a lifetime, or even longer, so you must advance and retreat, and pay attention to methods. There is only a thin line between quick victory and surrender, and you must be aware and prepared to fight a protracted war.
Therefore, Zhang Yuelu seriously reflected on his actions, summed up his experiences and lessons, and corrected his ideological attitude.
Although Zhang Yuelu is not a perfect person, he will take risks and make mistakes, but he is by no means a reckless man with only passion and no brains.
The second thing is about Qi Xuansu's appointment.
The Master of the Palm Palace of Wanxiang Dao Palace is located under the Great Master of the Palm Palace.
This was something that had been decided a long time ago, so there were no surprises.
Because relevant ceremonies had already been held when Qi Xuansu was promoted to Shenzhi Zhenren, this time it was just an appointment. Donghua Zhenren symbolically talked to Qi Xuansu and even said with a smile: "This time there is no need to send someone to take you to the appointment. Right? That’s the place you’re most familiar with.”
This is true. Qi Xuansu grew up in Wanxiang Taoist Palace. Zhang Yuelu's return to Tiangang Hall was like going home, and he was also going home here.
Qi Xuansu naturally does not need anyone else to send him off.
There is nothing much to say about Qi Xuansu's position, and he does not need to be in charge. It takes ten years to educate trees, and a hundred years to educate people. Education is a long-term project, and it is difficult to see obvious results in the short term. If it is just a small effort and tinkering, Compared with what Qi Xuansu did in the past, it was a trivial matter, so just do it casually.
Therefore, Master Donghua has only one request: to do a good job in retreat, starting from the aspects of spiritual will, ideals and beliefs, moral conduct, etc. To write some beautiful articles from a macro perspective, it is best to have new ideas and create some new atmosphere. Don't use clichés.
Qi Xuansu also knew this, and the material he used as an excuse to write was mainly about this.
Qi Xuansu even considered whether to set up a team to do this. In essence, it is similar to the past emperors who revised books. It has certain practical significance and is also a cultural project.
The position of the real person in charge of the palace is more like an intermediate transition. After Qi Xuansu makes some beautiful articles, he will become the real person in charge of the palace and truly take charge.
Until now, Qi Xuansu has not really taken charge of his own role. Not to mention the period of deacon and principal, the second-ranking and chief of the Borneo Taoist House, the chief deputy head of Beichen Hall, and even the current master of the palace, there are always superiors above him.
Only the master-level real person can be considered to be in charge.
A Taoist house is a miniature Taoist sect. Being appointed as the real head of a Taoist sect is like practicing in charge of a Taoist sect in advance. Except for Xuan Sheng, all the great sects of all generations must have the experience of running a Taoist house on their own, even the sixth generation of great sects are no exception.
.However, Xuansheng also had the experience of serving as the head of a sect before integrating the Taoist sect.
The next higher standard is the real master of the army, which usually involves multiple Taoist houses and Taoist halls. The real master of the army needs to be integrated, coordinated, and coordinated. It can be said to be a preview of the great master. Basically, he can become the real master of the army.
, will definitely be a candidate for the Grand Master.
Take the Fenglinzhou War as an example. The full name of Qingwei Zhenren is: "Zhangfenglinzhou Military Instruction Machinery Taoist Spirit Officer Feizhou's Government Order", or "Zhangjun Zhenren" for short. At that time, it was not only the Fenglinzhou Taoist Mansion that was involved.
, as well as Liaodong Daofu, Qizhou Daofu, Jiangnan Daofu, as well as Tiangang Hall, Beichen Hall, Tianji Hall, and Duzhi Hall, all need to be coordinated and taken care of by Zhenren Qingwei.
This position cannot be achieved without prestige, ability, or strength.
Compared with what the real person in charge of the army does, what the Grand Master does is wider in scope and has greater power, but the nature is not much different.
Of course, the Taoist sect does not explicitly require the experience of a real person in charge of the army, because wars are rare. If there is no large-scale war, there is nothing you can do. I can only say that the experience of a real person in charge of the army is a huge plus.
, if it has the merit of opening up new territories and expanding territory, that would be even more remarkable.
The Grand Master of the Fifth Dynasty has the experience of leading an actual army, and he succeeded in rising to the position by virtue of his impressive military exploits in conquering the East Posu Continent.
The Sixth Generation Grand Master lacked such experience and lacked prestige.
Since ancient times, prestige has been achieved through fighting. Of course, this is also a double-edged sword. If you lose, it will be a huge points loss.
At the age of seven generations of disciples
.
, the Western Region War and the Fenglinzhou War broke out respectively, with Donghua Zhenren and Qingwei Zhenren serving as the commanders of the army respectively. However, these two wars were of a counterinsurgency nature and could not be compared with the expansion of territory. Moreover, the weight of the opponents was also
They cannot be compared with the Westerners that the Fifth Generation Grandmaster faced, so neither of them has the big advantage that the Fifth Generation Grandmaster had.
Master Cihang lacks experience in this area, so he is regarded as having little hope. This is all based on evidence.
The other is Qi Xuansu's team. As Qi Xuansu takes over as the real person in charge of the palace this time, he will also prepare a team of his own. The position of secretary has been decided, and it is Yan Yongzhen. After these few days of running in, Qi Xuansu is quite satisfied with him.
Next are the two assistants. The last time Qi Xuansu went to the Wanxiang Taoist Palace because of Xiao Yin's affairs, two assistants were dismissed by him. These two positions are still vacant. Qi Xuansu decided to fill them with his own people. One is
Lu Yujue, this old man is on Qi Xuansu's side. Of course Qi Xuansu can't treat him badly.
Another one is Cheng Lixue.
This person has flaws, but he is also capable. He was a man of influence when he was in the Wanxiang Taoist Palace, and he was several years older than Qi Xuansu. He was already in charge during the Fenglinzhou War. Over the years, his military exploits have added to his seniority. , coupled with the bonus that he was born in the Wanxiang Dao Palace, it is enough to be the last assistant.
After all, Lu Yujue was born in Beichen Hall, and he would follow Qi Xuansu to the local Taoist palace in the future. Qi Xuansu still needed someone who was familiar with the Wanxiang Taoist Palace to assist him, and Cheng Lixue was more suitable to stay in the Wanxiang Taoist Palace in the future.
Another piece of news is that Wuniang has been appointed as the head master of the Western Region Taoist House.
