Journey to the head

Chapter 104 Eight Important Things
The architecture of the sect in Bichao Mountain is different from those elsewhere.

This mountain peak is densely covered with ancient trees that are thousands of years old, and there is very little flat land. Except for a clearing cut out on the mountainside to build a residence for disciples, other various functional houses and pavilions are scattered throughout the forest, made of granite. The paths are connected with each other and are quite elegant and quiet.

The meeting hall is also set among a large group of thick ancient trees.When it was originally built, a clearing should have been cut, but after hundreds of years, dense trees grew back, and the entire hall was wrapped in a sea of ​​trees.Even the golden dome of the main hall is now mostly covered by the tree crown.

At this moment, all the new disciples who had joined the Yunshan Sect and were originally disciples with surnames outside the Zhou family had been arranged to the disciples' residences. They were told not to wander around, and to meditate peacefully and wait for arrangements.

Everyone from the Yunshan Sect gathered in the main hall to discuss various important matters after occupying this place.

Now in the main hall, sitting in the main seat above is the leader Lu Qian, who is in the late stage of Qi training.The first person on his left is Elder Keqing, the foundation-building Taoist priest Gu Nichang. The first person on his right is Elder Keqing, who is in the late stage of Qi training.

Qingfeng Baitao, Tan Hong, Zhang Lemei and Lin Le were sitting on both sides.

Jiang Qingfeng was sitting in the hall, listening to the sound of waves from the trees and the sea that seemed to never stop coming from around her, feeling the abundant inspiration here, and looking at Lu Qian who was talking, it was like a dream.

I, the Yunshan Sect, have really re-established the mountain gate!

Following my junior brother along the way, I have experienced a lot.But counting on his fingers, today is the third day of October, and it is not even half a year since the original sect was destroyed.

When Yunshan was destroyed in the past, everyone felt like the sky was falling.Unexpectedly, there was a person who was ordered to turn the tide in the face of danger. He spent tens of thousands of miles practicing Qi and cultivation in his weak years, planning a layout in a strange place, rebuilding the mountain gate, and opening up a new world.

All of this is due to junior brother.

Jiang Qingfeng stared blankly at Lu Qian. He had obviously been fighting all day and night, but he never seemed tired. His voice was always clear and powerful, and his eyes were always steady and firm.

Thinking of this, Qing Feng suddenly felt distressed, and only hoped that after re-establishing the mountain gate, he could live a peaceful life, so that his junior brother would no longer have to work so hard.

If junior brother can have some free time, I wonder...

"...Senior Sister?"

In a daze, Lu Gan's voice seemed to come from a far away place. Jiang Qingfeng suddenly woke up, focused her eyes, and met Lu Gan's concerned eyes.

"Senior sister, are you too tired? Why don't you go take a rest first?"

Jiang Qingfeng blushed suddenly and waved her hands repeatedly. Lu Qian nodded with a smile and continued talking.

"Today, we have a total of 79 monks in the Yunshan Sect, including 8 core members here, 32 monks with surnames other than those from the Zhou family, and 39 monks from the Chaosheng sect."

Everyone's expressions perked up, especially Tan Hong and his wife looked at each other with joy in their hearts.In just a few days, the Yunshan Sect has grown several times. In terms of numbers alone, it is not too far away from the original size of the sect.

"Among them, 68 people are in the early stage of Qi training, 8 are in the middle stage of Qi training, 2 are in the late stage of Qi training, and 1 is a foundation-building Taoist priest."

When Lu Qian talked about the foundation-building Taoist priests, everyone's eyes unconsciously focused on Gu Nichang.

This unparalleled beauty yawned out of boredom and glanced coldly, and everyone quickly lowered their heads to avoid her.

Everyone knew very well after the battle just now that if Gu Nichang hadn't shown off his power, how could our side have taken this place?From this perspective, she deserves the most respect and should be respected.

But her crazy attitude in battle not only frightens her enemies, but even her own people can't help but murmur in their hearts, for fear of accidentally irritating her.

Jiang Qingfeng suddenly felt a little ashamed of himself. This Elder Gu had extremely high cultivation and beautiful appearance. He was his junior brother's right-hand man, but he had been unable to help him all the way.

Xuanjizi nodded and said: "Although the number of people has increased several times, most of them are too low in cultivation and have no home at all. The number of people we can use is still limited. We have occupied the spiritual veins here, and the news will spread soon. , it is still unknown how the surrounding people will react. The situation in Chongming County is chaotic, so we need to be careful."

Everyone nodded.Originally, the two elders were just guest guests, and according to common sense, they did not participate in the affairs of the sect.However, Xuan Jizi has long regarded Lu Gan and others as family members, and hopes that his formation can be spread forever in Yunshan Sect. Although he is a guest minister, he is more attentive than ordinary elders.

But Gu Nichang had another reason.

Originally, Lu Qian just asked politely and did not expect her to attend.Unexpectedly, she had been thinking about her master's instructions, and she wanted to learn more from Lu Gan how to deal with things in order to understand the way to break through the Golden Crow Dayan True Secret, so she immediately followed her.

So even though she was still injured and felt that Lu Qian's words were like flies buzzing, irritating and extremely boring, she actually stayed patiently, which made Lu Qian look at her sideways.

Lu Qian sighed: "Yes, although we won this battle, we are still in a mess. The mess is everywhere and we have to clean it up one by one."

Tan Hong said in a deep voice: "Master, it will be very difficult to re-establish the mountain sect. Although I don't know so much, if you have any questions, you can just give me your orders."

As soon as these words came out, everyone nodded again and focused their attention on Lu Qian again, waiting for Lu Qian to give the order.

Lu Qian smiled slightly: "Okay, there are so many things going on right now, and we need everyone to work together to overcome the difficulties. The most important thing at the moment is to hold the sect establishment ceremony."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone became even more energetic.

Now is not the time to rent Lotus Peak. Now that the Yunshan Sect has been destroyed and the Chaosheng Sect has been swallowed up, and the sect is officially established in Bichao Mountain, an extraordinary sect establishment ceremony will be held, inviting the surrounding sects and even the Jin who is in charge of this place. Dan Dazong came here to watch the ceremony and announced to the entire Chongming County and even the Cangzhou area that the Yunshan Sect was established here!

Just like an eagle flapping its wings and a tiger roaring in the mountains and forests, the success or failure of this sect establishment ceremony will directly affect the future status and image of the Yunshan sect in this region.Is he an important decision-maker, a participant who cannot be underestimated, a dispensable little character, or even just a piece of fat that is weak and easy to bully... "The ceremony of establishing a sect should not be too hasty, it should always be done Make adequate preparations. But don’t postpone it too much. According to convention, it must be held within three months, otherwise the spying eyes will become even more rampant."

Everyone was just beginning to think about how to prepare within three months, and then heard Lu Gan say: "But it is already the third day of October, and the ceremony of establishing the sect cannot be postponed to next year, right? So we have to do it at the latest and at the latest To complete this matter before the end of this year, the time left for us is actually less than three months."

Thinking like this, the pressure became heavier. Lu Qian automatically ignored the sleepy Gu Nichang, looked at everyone's serious expressions, and nodded with satisfaction.This team is united and the people's hearts can be used, which is good.

After becoming slightly quieter, Zhang Lemei glanced at Gu Nichang anxiously and said cautiously: "Junior brother, no, Sect Leader, since we are going to hold the opening ceremony of the sect, do we have to decide on the various positions in this sect first? "

Tan Hong sighed helplessly.Lu Qian smiled and said: "Senior Sister is right. Besides, there are many important things to be done in preparation for the sect opening ceremony. I sorted it out and found that there are eight important things that need to be dealt with right now. "

"The first is to inventory all the Chaosheng Sect's warehouses, resources, assets and other materials, both inside and outside the mountain, and find out clearly. This matter will be handed over to Senior Sister Qingfeng, Baitao and Lin Le, and within three days , be sure to make a detailed list and give it to me."

What a great temptation it is to inventory the assets of the Shioshengmen. I have no skills and cannot supervise. Even if the person in charge touches it with his eyes closed, it will be full of oil and water. Therefore, only the most trusted people can take charge of this matter.

Jiang Qingfeng was already extremely smart. After hearing Lu Gan's words, she immediately realized what she was saying. Her heart was filled with joy, and the depression she had felt just now dissipated.

She gave Baitao a hand, stood up together with Lin Le, and bowed to accept the promise.

Lu Qian nodded towards Lin Le: "Xiao Lin, although you are young and have just started, you are thoughtful, mature and alert, and have some talents in running a sect. This time you will help Master Jiang sort out the sect's assets. When you have time, you can also Think about what projects the sect can run in the future. By the way, now that the overall situation has been decided, if you have free time, you can bring your mother to live here."

Lin Le felt that he shouldered a heavy responsibility and was highly anticipated by the leader. His face was filled with excitement and he shouted yes.

Not to be outdone, Jiang Baitao said loudly: "Brother, head, leave it to me. I will help my sister dig three feet into the ground and find all the treasures for you."

Lu Gan smiled and said: "That's very good, but you have to be careful not to dig down this Bichao Mountain."

Having said that, regardless of Baitao's casual thoughts of "I'm not a mouse", he continued: "The second is to formulate the various systems of the sect based on the original laws of the Yunshan sect. This work will be left to me, Elder Gu, and Zhou The old three are responsible."

The sect system is the cornerstone of a sect's operation.Now that the Yunshan Sect has been re-established, it is easier to carry out comprehensive optimization and adjustments.

For example, regarding the most important disciple training system, Yunshan Sect, like most sects, originally adopted the traditional master-to-disciple inheritance system.

Disciples with poor foundation and low cultivation serve as outer disciples, responsible for commanding the mortal servants and performing various chores and general affairs of the sect.Those with better qualifications, or those who have made great achievements among the outer disciples, are the inner disciples who stand out. They basically do not engage in production and concentrate on cultivation, and are the main force in the various combat and defense tasks of the sect.

The sect's elders are responsible for the teaching of Kung Fu and Dharma to the inner and outer sect disciples, and they are taught in the form of collective teaching.

Inner disciples have the qualifications to become apprentices to elders and masters.If one is truly talented, he will be favored by elders and masters and accepted as a true disciple.The true disciples of the leader, also commonly known as the disciples of the leader, have the qualifications to compete for the next leader.

After becoming true disciples, their respective masters will be responsible for imparting kung fu and teaching the Dharma, changing from large class teaching to private tutoring.

In terms of sect positions, the positions of deacons and stewards in various sects are generally held by true disciples.

This inheritance system of master-disciple teaching has been running stably for thousands of years, so it naturally has its merits.

That is, there are decades or hundreds of years of master-disciple relationship and friendship as a bond. The disciples in the sect have deep feelings for the sect, are very loyal, and will not betray easily. After they have reached a high level of cultivation, they will basically choose to support the sect. , instead of using the sect as a stepping stone.

Therefore, Lu Gan could only accept the disciples of the original Chaosheng Sect who were in the early stage of Qi training. Even these people had to be placed alone on the Lotus Peak to be transformed and tested. Only by thoroughly washing away the brand of the Chaosheng Sect could they be admitted to join. Yunshan School.For the mid-to-late Qi training elites trained by the Chaosheng Sect, even though they are too greedy, they can only choose to strangle them.

But this system also has obvious shortcomings.

The first is that all of this will take a long time to achieve. Without more than 20 years, there is no way to cultivate a group of disciples who are worthy of big responsibilities and loyal to the sect.Second, the disciples’ progress in practice, tasks, etc. are all supervised by their respective masters, elders and deacons. There is no unified standard for whether they are doing well or bad. It is easy to develop some who are unmotivated and lazy. of idlers.

Faced with all this, the memories of modern corporate executives have long been ready to be shaken. From Lu Gan's perspective, everything needs reform and optimization.

When I was making ideas a long time ago, the three words "KPI" suddenly popped into my mind.

Of course, a system of evaluation indicators cannot exist independently without the larger environment. "KPI" is not applicable in this world where individual strengths vary greatly. Lu Gan just laughed it off.

What needs to be done now is to establish a new institutional system based on the mutual teaching between master and disciple to better stimulate the subjective initiative of the disciples, encourage the disciples to achieve self-management, and at the same time allow the disciples to integrate into the sect faster and complete the task. From institutional identification, conceptual identification, to the final sublimation of emotional identification.

I clicked Gu Nichang's name in the hope of borrowing some ideas from the Danxia Sect and seeing if there was anything special about the Golden Elixir Sect.However, Lu Gan could only sigh in his heart when he saw the incomprehensible expression on the crazy fairy's face. It seemed that there was no hope.

Xuanjizi nodded with a smile. Although he had always been a casual cultivator, he had been in this world for more than 180 years and had extensive knowledge. He could also give Lu Qian some useful advice.

"The third is to immediately inspect the territory, declare sovereignty, let the mortal towns in the territory redefine their affiliations, and set up the Yunshan Sect's flag on this territory!" Lu Gan said in a deep voice, "At the same time, taking the opportunity to inspect the territory , complete the inspection of spirit seedlings and prevent neighboring sects from making some small tricks and stealing the spirit seedlings that belong to us."

The so-called "spiritual seedlings" are mortals with spiritual roots.Generally, sects will conduct inspections every ten years or so to screen out all the new children in their territory and include those with spiritual roots into the sect.

The Yunshan Sect destroyed the Chaosheng Sect and naturally inherited the mortal territory of the Chaosheng Sect covering hundreds of miles and dozens of counties.After the news of the newly established Yunshan Sect spreads, nearby sects may be ready to extend their tentacles into Yunshan's territory.

Nowadays, the sect is weak and cannot be defended, so Lu Gan doesn't care when the Chaosheng Sect was last inspected. He will just screen it out now.
