Chapter 561

Tang Ning said: "This is not a matter of the intelligence department. Almost all departments of the sect have cut off the expenditure of Lingshi subsidy. Now our sect is facing financial difficulties! I know your difficulties, and you have to do it too. Understand the difficulties of the sect."

Wei Xian nodded and said: "Yes, we understand that now that the Demon Sect has risen and occupied half of Chu State, the sect's finances and taxes have decreased, and there are difficulties in all aspects."

"However, Uncle Tang, you know about our intelligence station, and our funds are all for dealing with Youmeizong!"

"Without funds, all hidden plans for instigating rebellion will be difficult to carry out. The confrontation with the Demon Sect will be a protracted war. If the intelligence cannot be advanced first, it will be very passive."

Tang Ning smiled slightly: "Okay! Since you are here, I can't let you go for nothing. This is the first and last time. For the sake of the old department, I approved the Lingshi subsidy from the intelligence station. , Submit your application! In the future, I plan to introduce a financial system plan, and all funds and salaries must follow the procedures."

Wei Xian said: "Thank you, Master Tang."

Xu Wen said: "You are the old boss of our department, and we are all your subordinates. I hope you will take care of our old department in the future!"

After chatting for a while, Xu Wen and Wei Xian left.

About half an hour later, Mu Tiancheng came in from the outside, saluted and said, "Uncle Zhu Zhongwen from the Outer Palm Printing Department is visiting."

"Please come in."

"Yes." Mu Tiancheng walked away in response. Not long after, a man with pale temples and deep eyes came to Tangning, bowed and said, "I pay my respects to Master Uncle."

"Please sit down."

Zhu Zhongwen took his seat according to his words: "The disciple has some information about the headquarters, so I come here to report to my uncle."

"Speak!"

Zhu Zhongwen flipped his left hand, took out a file and handed it to him with both hands: "The disciples of Wancongshan Daying fought against the Demon Sect, beheaded seven foundation-building monks, and rewarded [-] spirit stones according to the sect's regulations. approve."

"There is also a set of second-order formations that are damaged, so I handed them over to the Zhenqi Division. They need [-] spirit stones to repair, and the disciples also approved it."

"In addition, there is not enough elixir in the elixir department, so the disciple approved a hundred catties of first-grade herbs."

"Over Tianshui Lake, we need [-] spirit stones to hand over the expenses to the chamber of commerce, and this disciple has approved it."

"The shops in Tainan Gufang City are in short supply of Tier [-] Yuan Qi Pills, and the disciple approved to send [-] bottles to them."

"The shops under our banner in South China are short of first-grade magical artifacts. The disciple approved to send [-] middle-grade magical artifacts, ten top-grade magical artifacts and five top-grade magical artifacts."

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

Tangning flipped through the file, and there were countless expenses on it. After a long time, he closed the file, "You can decide these things yourself. This is the responsibility of your printing department. Send someone to send a file to you later. That’s fine, you don’t have to come and report to me in person.”

"Yes." Zhu Zhongwen replied.

Tangning smiled and said, "Zhongwen! I'm new here, so I don't know much about the situation in Yuanyi Palace. I hope you can count on me from now on. If there's anything you don't understand and make a joke, you have to remind me."

"Don't dare, Master Uncle just asks if there is anything to do."

"You must also know that I transferred to Yuanyi Palace to respect the meaning of the master. He asked me to be responsible for the reform of the Zongmen's finances. You are the deacon of the Palm Printing Department. All financial expenditures of the Zongmen cannot bypass you. In the future, we will implement I hope you will cooperate with the new financial system plan."

Zhu Zhongwen said: "Uncle Master has orders, disciples dare not to obey."

"Xu Qingwan came to your palm print department, didn't she cause you any trouble!"

Zhu Zhongwen smiled and said: "All the juniors welcome the arrival of Junior Sister Xu. Our palm printing department is full of yang and yin is weak, and the managers are all men. Master Tang can transfer this famous Xingang beauty to our palm printing department, but we can't wish for it." of."

Tangning said, "She's here to help me complete the sect's financial reform plan. She's in the palm print department, so please take care of me."

After talking about the business, the two chatted for a few words, Zhu Zhongwen left, and after that, deacons from the Yuanzi Department, the Internal Supervision Department, the External Imperial Department, and the Inspection Department came to report the affairs, including the deacon of the Herbal Medicine Department, the Dan Yao Deacon Ke and others came to visit. Tang Ning met everyone in turn and had a friendly conversation.

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

In the Palm Printing Department of Yuanyi Hall, in the meeting hall, several stewards are sitting together, today is the time for the Palm Printing Department to discuss matters.

After about a stick of incense, Zhu Zhongwen came in from the outside, took a seat on the main seat above, and said: "Everyone is here, let's start! There are four things this time."

"The first thing is that we have been fighting with the Demon Sect for so many years, resulting in a serious shortage of first-order Yuanling crossbows. There are no more than [-] yuan in the warehouse. The Internal Inspection Department requests to purchase a batch of Yuanling crossbows, and needs [-] pairs. , what do you fellow apprentices think?"

A person below said: "We are currently fighting the front line of the Demon Sect. All the disciples are risking their lives. Ten of them can't get a Yuanling Crossbow. For low-level disciples, the Yuanling Crossbow represents a powerful combat force. I think a batch of Yuan Ling crossbows should be purchased and delivered to the front line."

Another person said: "One yuanling crossbow needs three thousand spirit stones, and twenty yuan spirit crossbows is [-] spirit stones. Adding arrows, there is no seventy to eighty thousand spirit stones. In my opinion, With this money, it’s better to exchange for a top-grade magic weapon, a top-grade flying sword is only two thousand spirit stones, as long as the cultivation level is enough, it may not be worse than the Yuanling Crossbow.”

"Senior Brother Chen's words are wrong! The Yuanling Crossbow itself is for use by low-level disciples. Among our front-line disciples, how many tenth-level Qi-refining monks are there? It can withstand the attack of Yuan Ling crossbow."

The man surnamed Chen was about to speak to retort, Zhu Zhongwen said: "Master once obeyed, although the sect's finances are tight, but there are priorities, and other places can be delayed. Matters involving the front line of the camp must be taken seriously. I agree with strict According to the younger brother, the request of the Internal Supervision Department is approved, and twenty yuanling crossbows are purchased and handed over to the frontline disciples."

Seeing that he agreed, several people did not export it again.

Zhu Zhongwen said: "Since all the juniors have no objections, this application from the Internal Supervision Department has been approved. Now let me talk about the second thing."

"The Department of Spirit and Animal Husbandry of the Foreign Ministry applied for a subsidy of spirit stones. It needs [-] spirit stones for the purchase of blue-winged birds. What do you guys think?"

The man surnamed Yan frowned and said, "The blue-winged birds have a lifespan of up to [-] years, and they have bred adult blue-winged birds to mate with their cubs, so why buy them?"

Seeing that no one expressed their opinion, Zhu Zhongwen said: "In this case, the application for subsidy from the Spiritual Animal Husbandry Department will be rejected. The third thing is that the Artifact Refining Department of the Internal Affairs Bureau has run out of Xuanyan stones for refining spiritual weapons, so apply for [-] spiritual weapons." Stone funds, buy two thousand catties of Xuanyan stone."

Everyone didn't express their opinion. The Artifact Refining Department is one of the few departments in the sect that has a positive financial income. Generally, their request cannot be dismissed. Otherwise, they will lose their temper and even sue the head teacher.

Although everyone knows that two years ago, his department applied for a subsidy of [-] spirit stones under this pretext.

"All the juniors have no objections, so let's approve it! Now let's talk about the last thing. The Silver Fox Intelligence Station under the Intelligence Division applies for a subsidy of [-] spirit stones, which will be used to instigate rebellion against the Demon Sect and hidden plans."

The white-faced man said: "Now that the Demon Sect is approaching the city, it's clear that the chariots and horses are fighting head-on, so why do we need any information about theft."

Xu Qingwan said: "I know the situation of this intelligence station quite well. It has been ten years since there was a subsidy for spirit stones, and all the latent and instigating plans inside it have stagnated. It is a long-term war against the Demon Sect, and intelligence is indispensable." Support, I think appropriate subsidies are necessary.”

Zhu Zhongwen glanced at her: "I agree, do you have any objections?"

None of them said a word, including the white-faced man before. They all knew that Xu Qingwan was Tangning's spokesperson in the palm print department, and what she said should be Tangning's intention.

Opposing her now is equivalent to opposing Tangning.

"Since the juniors have no objections, let's approve the subsidy of the intelligence station's Lingshi! This discussion is over." Zhu Zhongwen announced, and everyone got up and left: "Xu Junior Sister, wait a moment."

Xu Qingwan then sat back to her original seat, and after everyone left, Zhu Zhongwen said: "Junior Sister Xu, although you have come to our palm printing department not long ago, we don't distinguish between first come and first come here, if there is anything going on in the future, you can call me first." Hello, let's unify our opinions first."

Xu Qingwan understood in her heart that the reason why Zhu Zhongwen valued herself so much was actually Tangning who was really afraid of her.

The so-called unity of opinion was actually a unity of opinion with Tangning, and he was just a mouthpiece.

Zhu Zhongwen is Peng Wanli's first apprentice, representing Peng Wanli's voice in Yuanyi Hall, and himself representing Tang Ning's voice in Yuanyi Hall. If the two of them have different opinions and argue in public, it will make people think it is Yuanyi There were conflicts and disagreements at the top of the temple.

The Palm Printing Department holds great power, and all the financial expenditures of the sect are determined by him. There are six stewards in the department including Xu Qingwan, namely Yan Yuanjing, Chen Wenshu, Hong Xianyi, Fang Xun, and Jia Xuan.

Everyone is not simple, and there are people behind them to support them, or they themselves represent various forces in the sect.

Yan Yuanjing is the nephew of Shi Mingsuan in the Qingxuan Palace, and his father is Shi Mingsuan's younger brother. He represents the interests of Shi Mingsuan's sect. He just supported the internal supervision department's purchase of the Yuanling Crossbow because of He Ming, the deacon of the supervision department, is Shi Mingsui's confidant.

Chen Wenshu is Tong Quanan's confidant, and in the early years, he guarded Tong Quanan's cave and did errands for Tong Quanan.

Hong Xianyi represented Luo Qingshui, who was single-handedly promoted by Luo Qingshui.

Fang Xun and Jia Xuan were originally disciples of the Palm Printing Department, they were confidantes promoted by Zhu Zhongwen himself, so they naturally belonged to Peng Wanli's confidantes.
