Chapter 280 Now I know it's difficult to be a master [6600
Lu Dayou came to his senses and said to Linghu Chong: "Brother, please follow me!"
Huashan School Warehouse
Linghu Chong followed Lu Dayou into the warehouse and saw that except for some rice noodles and vegetables in the corner, there was nothing else in the huge warehouse.
Even Linghu Chong knew clearly when he saw the things left in the warehouse that these things could last for a few days at most. If nothing could be done, their Huashan sect would be out of food in a few days.
Taking a deep breath, Linghu Chong said to Lu Dayou: "Junior brother Dayou, what do you think we should do next?"
Lu Dayou smiled bitterly and said: "What else can we do? The first priority is to send people down the mountain to buy rice, flour, vegetables and other supplies. Otherwise, there are more than a hundred mouths on the mountain. What can we eat and drink?"
When Linghu Chong heard this, his eyes lit up and he said: "Yes, then send people down the mountain and quickly find a way to buy rice, noodles, vegetables and other supplies!"
As he spoke, Linghu Chong patted Lu Dayou on the shoulder and said, "Junior brother, I'll leave this matter to you. We must not let our Huashan sect run out of food!"
Lu Dayou sighed and said: "Senior Brother, you need money to purchase supplies. Please prepare some silver for me."
Linghu Chong was stunned for a moment, patted his head and said, "Junior brother, go ahead and do your work. I will go and discuss the issue of silver with my junior wife."
Linghu Chong walked into a courtyard and saw Yue Lingshan sitting on a tree branch and looked at him angrily, ignoring him at all.
Linghu Chong couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw Yue Lingshan's reaction. His junior sister had been angry with him for several days, blaming him for making the master angry. No matter how much he apologized, Yue Lingshan refused to speak to him.
"Little Junior Sister, where is Senior Wife?"
Yue Lingshan snorted and turned to one side, ignoring Linghu Chong at all.
At this moment, the door of the room creaked open, and Ning Zhongze walked out of the room. Ning Zhongze was obviously much more haggard, and his temples seemed to be a little grayer.
Seeing Ning Zhongze like this, Linghu Chong felt a little pain in his heart. He regarded Ning Zhongze as his biological mother, Yue Buqun as a strict teacher, and Ning Zhongze as a loving mother, so Linghu Chong had always been close to Ning Zhongze.
Bowing, Linghu Chong turned to Ning Zhongze and said, "Chong'er has met Master Niang!"
Ning Zhong smiled slightly and said, "Chong'er came to look for Master's Wife. Is there something in the family that can't be solved?"
In order for Linghu Chong to take over the Huashan Sect smoothly, Ning Zhongze also put in a lot of effort. When he saw Linghu Chong, he knew that there must be something in the sect that could not be settled.
Linghu Chong took a deep breath and said: "Master's wife, not long ago a junior brother came to report that there are not many supplies stored on the mountain. If we don't find a way, we may run out of food in a few days at most."
Ning Zhong was stunned when he heard this and said: "What, we are running out of supplies?"
Linghu Chong nodded and said: "Disciple went to check in person. The remaining rice, noodles and vegetables can only last for a few days, so we must send people down the mountain to buy rice, noodles, vegetables and other supplies."
Ning Zhong nodded and said: "On weekdays, your master takes care of these things, and my wife has never asked about them. In this case, I will send people down the mountain to purchase rice, noodles, vegetables and other supplies according to your wishes."
Linghu Chong showed a bit of trepidation on his face and said: "Master Madam, our Huashan Sect needs silver taels for expenses..."
Ning Zhong was stunned for a moment, then when he realized it and saw Linghu Chong's pinched expression, he couldn't help but said: "Your master has never told me this on ordinary days. Fortunately, my master knows that your master keeps the gold and silver in the secret room of the study. Master,
I'll accompany you to get some silver."
Following Ning Zhongze, the two walked into the study.
The study room still maintains the same appearance as when Yue Buqun came down the mountain. It can be said that this study room is where Ning Zhongze occasionally stands at the door looking at things and thinking about people, but he has never entered the study room.
Walking into the study, Ning Zhong walked to the bookshelf and said to Linghu Chong: "Chong'er, look, this is the entrance to the secret room."
As he spoke, the bookshelf was pushed, a creaking sound was heard, and a small dark room appeared.
Ning Zhong's eyes fell on a box. He took a few steps forward and opened the box. He saw rows of silver ingots and scattered gold and silver.
It's just a rough estimate, it's probably several thousand taels.
Seeing these gold and silver, Linghu Chong breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, Linghu Chong was really afraid that he would not be able to find the gold and silver. Then there would be no supplies. If he, the leader, could not even provide the supplies needed by the sect,
That would really become a joke.
After taking out a full two thousand taels of silver, most of the box was suddenly missing.
There are nearly 200 disciples of the Huashan sect, which means more than 200 mouths. Even if it is a common people's home, each of the more than 200 people will need nearly half a tael of silver a month.
This is still the most basic thing. Don’t forget that these Huashan sect disciples want to practice kung fu. The most basic thing to eat is to save your life. It is delusional to want to practice.
Not only do you have to take care of the big fish and meat every day, but you should at least make sure that the disciples are well fed and drunk.
So for a month, the Huashan Sect spends at least several thousand taels of silver on food alone, not counting clothing, swords, etc.
In the hall, hearing several of Lu Da's disciples settling accounts for him one by one, Linghu Chong couldn't help but feel dizzy. He opened his eyes wide and looked at how many of Lu Da's disciples said: "If Junior Brother calculates like this, doesn't it mean that the master left behind?"
That little bit of gold and silver can keep our Huashan sect running for more than a month at most?"
Several people in mainland China nodded.
Rubbing his forehead, Linghu Chong couldn't help but mutter: "Being a leader, why do you only have so many things to do!"
Ning Zhong, who was on the side, couldn't help but glared at Linghu Chong and said, "Chong'er!"
Linghu Chong quickly sat up straight and looked at Ning Zhongze and said, "Master's Wife!"
Ning Zhong sighed and said: "Master, as a member of the female class, the sect needs you. You must have a charter and at least a stable financial source. Otherwise, I'm afraid the disciples' hearts will be unstable!"
Linghu Chong asked: "Master Madam, what did our Huashan Sect rely on for our previous income?"
Ning Zhongze said: "Previously, we relied on more than a thousand acres of fertile land at the foot of the mountain, and your master tried every means to raise funds, so we, the Huashan Sect, could barely survive."
Linghu Chong's eyes lit up and he said, "In that case, with those more than a thousand acres of fertile land, we don't have to worry about running out of food!"
After a slight cough, Lu Dayou said: "Brother, the income from the more than a thousand acres of fertile land can support dozens of disciples. Have you forgotten that in the past twenty years, our Huashan sect has only dozens of people?"
?”
Seeing Linghu Chong stunned, Lu Dayou said: "But now our Huashan sect has nearly two hundred people, which has suddenly increased several times. It is simply not what the thousands of acres of fertile land can support."
Linghu Chong subconsciously said: "Master, how can he sustain so much consumption..."
On the rugged mountain road, a group of mountain carriers formed a long team, each carrying heavy burdens and slowly going up the mountain along the mountain road.
It didn't take long for these mountain pickers to be discovered by the disciples patrolling the mountain. However, the disciples patrolling the mountain had become accustomed to seeing things like this in recent months, so when they saw this situation, they knew it was someone from the mountain delivering supplies.
As a disciple below, I naturally don’t know what the transfer of power within the Huashan Sect is, so when everyone sees these mountain carriers delivering supplies, they naturally become accustomed to it and let these mountain carriers go up the mountain.
A disciple walked into the hall with a bit of joy on his face. He first saluted Linghu Chong, then saluted Ning Zhongze and then said: "Master, the supplies from the mountain have arrived. Please invite Senior Brother Lu and Senior Brother Du."
Senior brother, go and check the supplies so they can be put into storage."
Everyone present was stunned when they heard this. What supplies? Aren't they discussing supplies? Even if they were planning to send people down the mountain to buy supplies, people hadn't come down yet. How come supplies were sent up the mountain?
Linghu Chong stood up and said, "Let's go and see what's going on."
Ning Zhongze sighed softly in her heart. She had already guessed what happened to those supplies. If nothing else happened, the supplies must have been sent by Yue Buqun who had left Huashan.
The group of people saw a large amount of supplies piled there from a distance. Among the supplies, there were rice, noodles, vegetables, and even chicken, duck, fish, etc., which could at least supply the Huashan pie for the next month.
A steward came forward with a smile on his face and said: "This must be the leader of the Huashan Sect, Linghu. I have been ordered to deliver the supplies, and I also ask the leader of Linghu to count and sign for them!"
Linghu Chong looked at the steward in confusion and said, "Sir, what's going on with these supplies? It seems that our Huashan faction didn't order supplies from you!"
The steward smiled slightly and said: "These materials have been paid for in silver. I am only responsible for delivering the materials to the mountain. As for the other things, I am beyond my control."
At this moment, Ning Zhong coughed lightly and said in a low voice: "Chong'er, this material is most likely sent by someone sent by your master!"
Linghu Chong was stunned and couldn't help but frown. He just subconsciously didn't want to think about Yue Buqun. Otherwise, he would have been able to think of the origin of these supplies.
At this moment, Feng Qingyang, dressed in Tsing Yi, strode over and snorted coldly: "We, the Huashan Sect, must not accept these things, otherwise, wouldn't we all become the eagle dogs of the imperial court!"
Seeing Feng Qingyang appear, Linghu Chong perked up and nodded slightly: "Master Feng said that we really cannot accept these things."
As he spoke, Linghu Chong raised his hands towards the steward and said, "Sir, please ask someone to take these things away. Our Huashan Sect will never accept these things."
The steward was slightly startled, looked at Linghu Chong, and then at the Huashan sect disciples who were present with greatly changed expressions. He coughed lightly and said: "Master Linghu, please stop joking with me. These supplies have been transported to the mountain. You guys
How can you not want it?"
