Tian Yuan Xian Ji

Chapter 517
Tangning left the alchemy room, flew all the way, and returned to the middle finger peak cave. From a distance, she saw a tall and broad man standing outside the mansion.

When he fell from the light, the man turned around and bowed to salute: "Disciple pays homage to Master Uncle."

This person is none other than Xu Qiyuan who came from the intelligence station.

"Why are you here? How long have you been waiting?"

"The disciple just returned to the sect last night, but no one replied to the sound transmission talisman. I thought my uncle might have something to return, so I waited here."

Tang Ning nodded, thinking to herself, she really should find someone to guard the cave. Now that she has been promoted to be a deacon, she has to deal with more sect affairs. Run into: "Come in!"

"Yes."

The two entered the mansion one after the other. Tangning sat cross-legged on the futon and asked, "Why are you here?"

"Disciple congratulates my uncle on being promoted to be the deacon of the headquarters, and there is another letter that my aunt asked me to bring to my uncle." Xu Qiyuan flipped his left hand, took out the letter and handed it to him with both hands.

Tang Ning took the letter, opened it and looked at it, but saw that it said: I heard that Tang Xianshi was promoted to the position of deacon, and I am very happy.With your virtue and prestige, the position of deacon of your ministry is well deserved.The concubine was overjoyed physically and mentally, and boldly begged for this matter. The budget of the intelligence station has been reduced, and the cost of Lingshi is not enough to make ends meet. I can only rely on the subsidy from the emperor.

Tang Ning knew in her heart that Du Yuankai must have ordered her to write this. Although she is in charge of the financial affairs of the intelligence station, the financial subsidy has nothing to do with her. Talk about funding matters.

It must be that Du Yuankai was worried that he would be stuck with the funds of the intelligence station, so he asked her to intervene.

Although the Zongmen's funding has been reduced, it has not completely stopped subsidizing the intelligence station's spirit stones. About every seven or eight years, the next subsidy for spirit stones will be approved.

The higher-ups also know that if there is no approval once, the operation of the intelligence station will indeed be unsustainable.

And the information station business is very important, and it cannot be completely stopped.

Tangning put the letter aside and said, "Go back and tell Fellow Daoist Xu that I will try my best to apply for the financial subsidy for the intelligence station."

"Yes, the disciple is resigning." Xu Qiyuan said.

"Wait a minute."

"What else do you want Master Uncle?"

"Since the Zhu family rebelled and returned to the Demon Sect, I haven't heard from them for a long time. You tell Senior Brother Du to ask him to try to find out about the Zhu family."

"Yes."

...........................

It was another half a month in the blink of an eye. On this day, Tangning was in the alchemy room, concentrating on refining the elixir, when there was a knock on the door outside the room.

He frowned, ignored it, and continued refining the elixir. After about a stick of incense, a vitality elixir was spit out from Dandinglong's mouth. Tangning put the elixir in the wooden box into the bottle and opened the stone door.

Standing outside was a man with a fair complexion, Li Xuan, who was directly under the Precepts Academy, and said: "Brother Tang, please excuse me, Uncle Yin invites you to discuss matters in his cave."

"I don't know why?"

"The new supervisor of the intelligence department has taken up his post and is visiting Uncle Yin."

Tangning nodded, "Let's go!"

The two of them left the alchemy room, turned into light, and arrived at Yin Qingyuan's cave after a while.

………………

In the room, Yin Qingyuan sat on the main seat, and there was another person below him, with a lion's nose and wide mouth, big arms and round waist, and slightly white temples.

It was Xu Wenze, the director of the Supervision Department, and the two had met once in the meeting hall of the Supervision Department.

"Disciple pays homage to Master Yin." Tangning stepped forward to salute.

"Here you are, sit down! This is Xu Wenze, the new inspector sent by the inspectorate to your department. I think you should know each other!" Yin Qingyuan said.

Tang Ning sat down as she said, and said with a smile, "There is a serious shortage of manpower in the department. I hold three posts in one person, and I have long been looking forward to the appointment of the supervisor by the sect! Brother Xu came just in time, and I can finally take off the burden. gone."

Xu Wen said: "I'm new here, and I'm not very familiar with departmental affairs. I hope Senior Brother Tang can give me some advice."

Yin Qingyuan said: "You can discuss the affairs of the intelligence department in the future. If you really can't solve it, you can tell me not to make the city full of storms. It will not affect well."

"Yes." The two replied.

Tangning knew that it was Yin Qingyuan who was warning him not to act like Lu Guang.

"I still have things to deal with. You guys sit here and chat for a while. Wen Ze, you will be leaving soon. If you don't understand anything about the intelligence department, you should ask Tangning for advice." Yin Qingyuan got up and left the room.

The two got up to see each other off, and only sat down after he left.

Xu Wen said: "I heard that Senior Brother Tang has made a series of financial reform plans in the department. I don't know which ones he refers to specifically?"

"The main thing is to make some changes on the basis of the original three-three-two-two system. The headquarters spends [-] spirit stones every year, and uses [-] as disciple funds and rewards, and the other [-] adopts the four-three-three system, that is, all managers get four." The deacon gets [-]%, and the supervisor gets [-]%." Some assets outside the sect were also redistributed, also in a four-three-three way. "

"Then what about disciple funding for spirit stones?"

The two chatted for about an hour, Xu Wen asked a lot of details, Tangning answered them one by one, until Yin Qingyuan came back, the three of them chatted for a while before leaving the cave.

.....................

There is no wave in the ancient well, and it is another half a year in a flash.

After Xu Wenze came to the intelligence department, he was in charge of the specific affairs of the action team. The two got along well, and he behaved quite peacefully, without any action to fight for power.

On this day, Tangning was sitting cross-legged in the cave when there was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

A man with thick eyebrows and big eyes pushed the door in, bowed and said: "Master, uncle Du Yuankai, please see me outside."

This person is Li Muhua, a student of the Air Force Support Team, whose cultivation is only at the fifth level of Qi Refining. Tang Ning was promoted to a deacon, and the mundane tasks became more common. So I went to the chance team and asked for a person.

Li Muhua was recruited by Dao Ding in [-] through the Zongmen Dao [-] years ago. He is a child of the Li family in Jiangdong.

When Tang Ning went to the aircraft support team to select someone, she saw that he had a good spiritual root and a clear background, so she recruited him to run errands for her.

"Invite him to come!"

"Yes." Li Muhua retreated in response, left the cave, and bowed to Du Yuankai: "Uncle Du, Uncle Tang invites you to enter."

When Du Yuankai came to the room, Jishou said, "Senior Brother Tang, it's been a long time."

He used to call Tang Ning his junior, but now that Tang Ning has been promoted to be a deacon, his cultivation level is higher than his own, and he asked him for it, so he changed his name.

"Senior Brother Du is here, please sit down! Let's call us as before! I'm not used to you saying "Senior Brother" all of a sudden, as if I'm getting old." Tangning smiled.

Du Yuankai took his seat according to his words: "The past was the past, and the present is the present. Senior Brother Tang is now the deacon of the department. If he is called like before, it will be said that I am disrespectful."

"There are no outsiders here, Senior Brother Du doesn't have to be so polite. Senior Brother Du must be here to receive a subsidy from the Intelligence Division!"

Du Yuankai nodded and said: "Yes, after receiving a letter from Zongmen Xuanying, knowing that Zongmen approved the distribution of subsidy funds for the station, I rushed here without stopping. Thank you, Senior Brother Tang, for your contribution."

Tangning turned over her hands, took out a storage bag and a paper file, and handed them to him, "I know Senior Brother Du is coming, so I'm ready."

Du Yuankai took the storage bag and signed on the dossier: "In addition to receiving the subsidy funds, I also have a report on the current situation of the Zhu family, and I will report to Senior Brother Tang."

"What happened to the two chess pieces we ambushed in Zhu's house? I heard that Ding Jianyang joined the Youmei sect, right?"

Du Yuankai said: "After receiving the message from Xu Qiyuan, I immediately got in touch with them. Zhu Maoqing is stuck at the bottleneck of the ninth level of Qi refining. There has been no movement for so many years."

"As for Ding Jianyang! I also met with him. After the Zhu family fell to the Demon Sect, in order to improve the relationship with the Youmei Sect, some children directly joined their sect, including Ding Jianyang."

"He was successfully promoted to the middle stage of foundation establishment five years ago, and now he is in charge of recruitment and inspection within the sphere of influence of the South China Demon Sect."

"He has been quite close to Zhu Zhongwen, Zhu Bochong's younger brother, over the years, and the Zhu family values ​​him more than before. He is now the bridge between the Zhu family and the Youmei Sect. Even Zhu Bochong would occasionally talk to him."

Tang Ning nodded and said, "Ding Jianyang is the deepest secret agent we have planted in the cultivation family, and now he has joined the Youmei Sect. This person may be of great use in the future. He is ambitious, so he must be careful, and he must not let the horse run away. Off the reins. Did he ask for anything?"

Du Yuankai said: "After he heard that you were promoted to be a deacon, he asked me to congratulate you and said that he would look for you when needed."

"What's the difficulty with the intelligence station?"

"Since the budget has been reduced, the number of Lingshi subsidy allocations has become less and less. In the past ten years, it has only been allocated once. Without funds, many latent and counterinsurgency plans are unsustainable."

"There is no way in terms of funding. It's not up to me, but I will try my best to fight for you."

"There is one more thing. I don't have much life expectancy, so it's time for the department to consider a successor."

"There is no suitable person yet. When there is someone, I will arrange it."

The two chatted for a while, and Du Yuankai left.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door again, Li Muhua pushed the door open and came in, presenting a storage bag: "Master Uncle, this is just given to me by Master Uncle Du, let me pass it on to you."

Tangning took it and opened it to see that there were twenty-five mid-grade spirit stones inside.
