Douluo: Qian Renxue’s Road to Defeating the Gods

Chapter 512. Reform (II)

Tian Yao stared at Qian Renxue's eyes for a long time, which made Qian Renxue feel a little scared. "What's wrong?"

"Sister Xue, you let me be the saint just to use me so that my grandfather is no longer an obstacle to you, and then use my grandfather's influence to make other worshippers agree to your reforms, right?" Tian Yao looked straight at Qian Renxue. To be honest, she was very disappointed. She supported Qian Renxue's desire for reform, but if she wanted to use herself to achieve the purpose of reform, then she really could not accept it.

"Yaoyao, what are you talking about! That's not what I think! Reforming the Spirit Hall is what I have always wanted to do before I entered the Slaughter City. What I want is for you to help me complete this reform together, not for any other purpose. The Grandfathers may not accept it, but they can't stop my determination at all. It's just that you and I have grown up together, and the tacit understanding between us is beyond others. You are one of the people who understand me the most. They may not know what I want to do, but you will definitely know and understand! I hope you can support me, so that I won't feel that I am fighting alone."

Tian Yao listened to Qian Renxue's sincere explanation and realized that he had misunderstood. Qian Renxue had not changed, she was still herself, and the filth from the outside world had not polluted her pure heart. But from what Qian Renxue said, her reform plan would most likely be opposed by the entire Spirit Hall. What exactly did she want to do?
"Can I hear your reform plan first?"

Tian Yao was a little unconfident. Since Qian Renxue trusted her so much, she felt a lot of pressure.

"Of course you can. Sooner or later, you will know that the first step in the Spirit Hall reform is to cancel the spirit master subsidies, regardless of the level or management."

"Are you reforming? Are you going to disband the Spirit Hall?" Tian Yao was a little confused. Canceling the Spirit Master Subsidy would offend all the lower-level Spirit Masters. Wouldn't canceling the salary offend all the high-level Spirit Masters in the Spirit Hall? Why did these Spirit Masters join the Spirit Hall? In addition to the fact that the Spirit Hall has the most complete and precious upgrade information, Spirit information, etc. in the Spirit Master world, the high salary is also one of the reasons why the Spirit Masters flock to it. For example, the Platinum Bishop Salas has a salary of hundreds of thousands of gold soul coins a year, not to mention the elders and priests who are above him.

Although money is of little use to them, it is very important to the families behind them. Gold soul coins can also be exchanged for gradual resources, such as low-year soul bones or hiring high-level soul masters to hunt for the most suitable soul rings.

"..." Qian Renxue shook her head. Even Tian Yao couldn't accept what she had just said, let alone others. "The soul master subsidy and management salary will be distributed in another form, but not in this form."

"The Spirit Hall is spread across every village on the continent. This is our advantage. However, even if we build a Spirit Hall in every village, most of them are only busy with the Spirit Awakening period every year. In addition to the management of the Soul Hunting Forest and the actions of the law enforcement team, villages are rarely invaded by soul beasts or fallen soul masters. It can be said that most of the Spirit Halls are idle and have not done anything meaningful for this continent."

“So what?” Tian Yao didn’t understand. The lowest level Spirit Hall had indeed been working on awakening spirits, and most of the time it would be concentrated in a fixed period of time. Of course, if a child reached a certain age, they could take their own children to awaken their spirits, but there was nothing wrong with that. After all, it had been passed down for thousands of years.

"Most of these Spirit Hall personnel deal with the villagers, but because of their status as spirit masters, most of them look down on these simple villagers. The spirit masters are blinded by their status and even forget what they are. They are human beings, and so are spirit masters. The villagers live in poverty and have ideas but no power, while the spirit masters have the power but no heart to help them. The Spirit Hall has been helping the spirit masters to exploit ordinary people. This situation must be changed. This continent has been developing for thousands of years, why is there still so much poverty and suffering? Who took away their wealth and their happiness? Yaoyao, don't you understand?"

"I..." Tian Yao looked gloomy. Qian Renxue's words were like a heavy hammer hitting her chest, leaving her unable to utter a word.

"So, I plan to have all the grassroots Spirit Hall personnel collect those unresolved issues in various villages and places, and publish them in the form of rewards in various Spirit Halls, so that spirit masters can solve those troubles and get rewards."

Ask the soul masters to do farm work for them? Impossible. Those noble soul masters probably can't even take a look. Tian Yao thinks Qian Renxue is very naive and actually wants to change the world.

"It's impossible. The status of a soul master is equal to that of a noble. If you ask them to do this, they won't do it."

"I know, but since you don't want to do it, then you don't have to receive the soul master subsidy anymore. It doesn't matter. The villagers' difficulties will be solved by the soul masters of the Spirit Hall." Qian Renxue didn't care. Her move was to eliminate those soul masters who just took the money but did nothing.

"You see, some villages are poor because of bad roads, and some are remote because of their location. For villages with bad roads, we can help them repair bridges and roads. This is also an opportunity for defense-type soul masters and power-type soul masters to train themselves. We can publish them in the form of tasks in the Spirit Hall and replace the previous soul master subsidies with rewards. In this way, they can contribute to the village, train themselves, and get money. It's a win-win situation!"

"Sister Xue, I know what you mean. For example, if there is a plague, we can offer a reward for a healing spirit master. If there is a famine, we can offer a reward for a food spirit master. If people in remote and rugged areas need help, we can send agility attack spirit masters to deliver the necessities of life they need, etc. But who will pay for this? The villagers?"

"No, we, the Spirit Hall, are here to help them escape poverty. How can we charge them money? Besides, they don't have any money to begin with."

“Where does this money come from?”

"The Empire takes from the people and gives back to the people. When Mother completes the great cause of unification, the Spirit Hall will be integrated with the Empire. By then, the salary issues of the elders and the priests will also be resolved."

"You also know that we haven't unified yet. If you do this, what will happen if the soul masters all defect to the Tiandou Empire? It won't be too late to deal with these things after unification. Now is not the right time." Tianyao advised Qian Renxue not to be impatient, but Qian Renxue didn't think so.

"Still want to wait? How long will you have to wait? The people of Douluo Continent have been waiting for thousands of years. How long will you have to wait? If I do this, even if the Spirit Hall disappears into history, the forces that stand on the corpse of the Spirit Hall will at least not become more powerful. Do you understand?"
