The Fourth Lingshi Financial Crisis

Chapter 151
Chen Ming and Fang Jiancai were very satisfied with Yang Lu's performance of "knowing the general situation".

The three of them exchanged a few words of courtesy, and ended the meeting in Yingxiangding Teahouse in a cordial and friendly atmosphere.

In the Kyushu cultivation world, the Heavenly Dao Contract is undoubtedly the most reliable guarantee, but the conclusion of the Heavenly Dao Contract needs to consume a small amount of merit as a price. Ordinary people can sign it at will, but only on extremely important occasions, the cultivator will choose to swear to the Heavenly Dao .

Ever since Yang Lu became a cultivator, Li Qingning had made an oath to heaven only once when he was teaching the "Infinite Heart Sutra-From Beginning to Mastery".

However, when he made the oath, Yang Lu hadn't obtained the practice cheat left by President Lu, so he couldn't calculate how much merit he had consumed through the personal panel. Even so, it is an indisputable fact that the oath of heaven needs to pay the price of merit.

Yang Lu was not qualified to make Fang Jiancai and Chen Ming a blood alliance, so the three of them only reached a verbal cooperation in the end.

In Yang Lu's view, it is enough to do things to this extent, because the method Yang Lu uses to restrain Fang Fang is not empty promises, but the prestige of the entire Gongdetang forces.

For a superpower like Gongdetang, prestige is no less binding than a heavenly contract.

The reason why Chen Ming and Fang Jiancai were anxious to find out who was behind the scenes was because the Tianshu City Rebellion severely hit Cheng Shuying's reputation.

As a super power within the Wuliang Sword Sect, the Gongdetang was able to drive countless local cultivation sects like the Mountain Eagle Sect, mainly because the Gongdetang and the local sects had common interests.

With the support of Gongdetang and Cheng Shuying, when the local sect deals with the Wuliangjian sect, there will be high-level officials of the Wuliangjian sect who can speak for themselves, and there will also be monks in the Yuanying stage who can stand up for themselves and settle problems that they cannot solve; In exchange, the local cultivator sects are willing to transfer some of their benefits, obey the command of Gongdetang and Cheng Shuying, and open the door for him.

Without the support of local forces like Chen Ming, Cheng Shuying would be a polished commander, and it would be impossible for him to have the influence he has today.

However, there are prerequisites for this transfer of power, and the core is two points: first, Cheng Shuying must demonstrate the ability to solve problems for the local sect; second, Cheng Shuying must represent the overall interests of the local sect under his command.

If Cheng Shuying didn't care about what happened to the Shanying faction, it would inevitably cause the local forces to lose confidence in him, thinking that he was no longer able to fight for the interests of the sect under his command.

In the same way, if the Gongdetang needs help from the Qingning Chamber of Commerce, it will cooperate with the Qingning Chamber of Commerce. When the Qingning Chamber of Commerce encounters difficulties, it will kick Li Qingning away, and other local sects will inevitably have criticism.

After all, everyone has their downfalls, and if you are so ignorant of martial arts, who would dare to be your pawn?
Even if you are a Nascent Soul cultivator, it is useless!
The two Supreme Elders Ren Tianyuan and Qiu Longbo of the Infinite Sword Sect "Born to the World" are both Yuanying monks, and their cultivation level is even higher than that of Cheng Shuying. No local forces obey their orders at all.

The local comprehension forces are very realistic.

Today, Li Qingyang stands up for himself, and I belong to the Lingshi Reserve Bank faction; tomorrow Mo Yunlan speaks for himself, and I am the Duzhitang faction; the day after tomorrow, Lin Jianxing holds the power alone, and I can become the head of the sect...

You Cheng Shuying can't cover me, why should I listen to your orders?

Everyone is doing business, what can you do to me?
Not to mention that it was difficult for Cheng Shuying to drive the local sects at will, even if the major policies of the Wuliang Sword Sect were resisted by most of the local sects, there was no way to implement them.

At best, the Wuliang Sword Sect can only eliminate a few disobedient thorn-headed sects, but can it also wipe out all the local sects in Zhongzhou?Even if you destroy the local sects, who will govern Zhongzhou for you?
What's more, after a long period of gaming, the local sects and overlord sects in the Kyushu cultivation world have already formed a relationship that constrains each other. There is me in you, and you in me, and they infiltrate each other through interest groups.Therefore, it is difficult for you to abstract the Wuliang Sword School into a whole, and say how the Wuliang Sword School is...

The biological instinct of human beings determines that human beings like to transform incomprehensible abstract things into personified objects. Only in this way can we better place personal feelings on them and develop subjective likes and dislikes.

After all, it is difficult for human beings to have feelings for abstract things like mathematical formulas. I have never heard anyone say that Euler's formula is too despicable, and the Yang-Mills equation does not talk about martial arts. This is caused by biological instinct...

Many modern marketing accounts are good at taking advantage of this weakness of human nature to incite the emotions of ordinary people and create a bunch of strange things like rabbits and eagles.

But to personify abstract things is actually a very unscientific methodology.Especially when analyzing a complex organization like the Wuliang Sword Sect, which has obvious internal divisions, this kind of personified analysis method will be even more erroneous.

Because Cheng Shuying cannot represent the Wuliang Sword School, Mo Yunlan cannot represent the Wuliang Sword School, and even Lin Jianxing cannot represent the Wuliang Sword School. It is the result of games played by all interest groups here.

It is precisely because of this that Yang Lu will not force Fang Jian to swear to himself.Members of interest groups represented by Cheng Shuying have their own interests, and this is their logic of action.

This set of action logic is not even up to Cheng Shuying himself, because this Nascent Soul cultivator is only the spokesperson of the interest group, not the entire interest group itself.Only when Cheng Shuying's actions are in line with the interests of the Gongdetang forces, can he effectively grasp the supreme power as the "spokesperson of the interest group".

As long as Gongdetang and Qingning Chamber of Commerce openly form an alliance, Cheng Shuying will not turn his face easily. If Cheng Shuying sees that the situation of Qingning Chamber of Commerce is not good today, and brazenly turns against him, what should we do when other vassal forces are in trouble in the future?
If Cheng Shuying acted recklessly regardless of the influence, the reputation that the entire Gongdetang power relied on would collapse completely.

After the prestige goes bankrupt, there will be no local sects that will open the back door to the Cheng Family Chamber of Commerce, no local forces willing to take care of the descendants of the Cheng family, and no local sects will travel around to collect cultivation materials for him, and Cheng Shuying will not be able to promote a similar social security system for self-cultivation Reform such a large-scale meritorious project.

If he didn't have this influence to influence the situation in Zhongzhou, he could only be forced to become a polished commander like Qiu Longbo and Ren Tianyuan, and he would never be able to gain massive merits.

And the history of the cultivation world in Kyushu has proved that if there are no two or three golden wheels of merit, the probability of breaking through the bottleneck of the Nascent Soul mid-stage cultivator is almost zero, even if you are a holy spirit root, it is useless!

For a Nascent Soul cultivator like Cheng Shuying, who is expected to live forever, this is undoubtedly an unacceptable result.

Because of this, Mo Yunlan could not easily betray the interest group behind Duzhitang and take over Li Qingyang's position as the president of the Lingshi Reserve Bank, and Cheng Shuying could not easily betray the interests of his sect and wantonly back the Qingning Chamber of Commerce.

This is called a person in the rivers and lakes, involuntary!
Even if Yang Lu was placed in Cheng Shuying's position, he would still make the same choice.

Even such gods as President Lu Yang and Senior Bo Nanke acted according to the trend. By providing various stakeholders with the most common reform plan, they finally promoted the economic reform that changed the situation in the cultivation world.

Even if you are a natural saint, without the support of the majority of stakeholders, it is impossible to achieve great achievements.
