Chapter 182 Calculating family fortune

Zhao Liangde's residence was located on Tianmen Mountain, in the best location. The next day, Fang Qingyuan brought Jin Bao and several Qi training disciples behind him to the door of Zhao's residence.

Now that Fang Qingyuan is a person with status, it is okay to go out. But on Tianmen Mountain, in the Southern Border Beast Control Sect, if Fang Qingyuan still wants to go alone, it would be inappropriate.

Therefore, the General Affairs Council assigned several qi training disciples to Fang Qingyuan to take charge of Fang Qingyuan's food and daily life.

Fang Qingyuan was not used to having people following him around, and these Qi training disciples followed him wherever he went. However, after a long time of adapting, Fang Qingyuan accepted it with peace of mind.

This is the rule of the General Affairs Council, and Fang Qingyuan does not want to overturn it yet. Only by respecting the tradition can the people of the General Affairs Council feel at ease.

There were two men and two women following Fang Qingyuan. The man was handsome and the woman was pretty. Their appearance was definitely first-rate.

According to Fang Qingyuan's understanding, these four people are the confidential secretaries around him, that is, Yin Baotong Spirituality. Otherwise, the General Affairs Council would send a monk who specializes in driving camel beasts to Fang Qingyuan.

Several people came to the door of Zhao Mansion, and without even knocking on the door, the people inside took the initiative to come out. Fang Qingyuan looked over and saw Hou Ruoyun leading many people out to greet him.

Hou Ruoyun's move was able to dissipate some of the impact of yesterday's incident. After Hou Ruoyun left yesterday, her deeds of making a big fuss in the General Affairs Council spread throughout Tianmen Mountain, and I don't know how many people laughed at Fang Qingyuan behind his back.

At the moment, Qingyuan chose to pay a visit, and Hou Ruoyun came to greet him personally. The message to the outside world was that there was no barrier between the two, and the news that had been spread before was all false.

Fang Qingyuan asked the four people following him to hand the gifts to the stewards of Zhao Mansion, and then said to Hou Ruoyun:

"Qingyuan came in a hurry and didn't have much to offer. I just got a few silks spun by fine spiritual silkworms when I was traveling. I sent them to my sister-in-law today."

After collecting the things, Hou Ruoyun was obviously happier. Although the pieces of spiritual silk were valuable, they were not yet in her eyes. What she cared about was Fang Qingyuan's attitude towards the Zhao family.

"Junior brother Qingyuan, please come in and sit down. I just have a lot of things to ask you. When you get here, it's like you're at your own home. Don't be polite to my sister-in-law."

Listening to Hou Ruoyun's words, Fang Qingyuan's heart was about to move. If this is the case, then I won't be polite. Brother Liangde, I can't help you.

Half a day later, Fang Qingyuan led everyone out of the Zhao Mansion, while Hou Ruoyun's face was a little flushed, and his mood was still ups and downs.

Just now, Fang Qingyuan pulled out several monks from the Zhao Mansion in front of Hou Ruoyun, imprisoned them by means, and then had them taken to the sect's cell.

This ruthless act, so ruthless, silenced the Zhao family who had been chattering before. Although Hou Ruoyun's face was not good-looking, he also supported Fang Qingyuan's move with actions.

Hou Ruoyun has not returned to the Zhao family for many years. In the Zhao family, her voice now does not have much weight. The right to speak in the Zhao family originally belonged to Zhao Liangde, but not long after Zhao Liangde fell into a coma, the other elders jumped out and started

Struggle for power and gain.

Yesterday, Hou Ruoyun was in a hurry to find Fang Qingyuan to ask for an explanation. He was also instigated by these people. Behind these people, there were vague shadows of Qu Jianyan and Ling Ziqing.

But it was not appropriate to dig deeper into this matter, and Fang Qingyuan could not take these people to confront Qu Jianyan and Ling Ziqing on the spot.

Just take advantage of the situation and take advantage of it. This time, I followed the same pretext and arrested a few people who jumped out. This cleared some obstacles for Hou Ruoyun and made her path to take charge of Zhao Mansion smoother.

Secondly, Fang Qingyuan also wanted to see if Qu Jianyan and Ling Ziqing would stand up for these people. If they didn't dare, then he would have lost some face to them. If he forced his way forward, he would have backup plans waiting for him.

Now Fang Qingyuan has deceived Hou Ruoyun and made Zhao Liangde's principal wife stand on his side for the time being.

He provided Hou Ruoyun with all kinds of support, so that Hou Ruoyun could use his own strength to compete with the old people in the Zhao family for the right to take charge of the Zhao family.

Hou Ruoyun, on the other hand, brought moral endorsement to himself, letting the qi-training monks who had the broadest foundation among the beast-controlling sect in Southern Xinjiang know that he, the leader of the general affairs peak, was justified and morally impeccable.

Otherwise, without Hou Ruoyun's support, Fang Qingyuan would also be worried. From time to time, someone from the Zhao family would come over and cry, saying that he was ungrateful and could not bear Zhao Liangde's advice to him.

Of course, the honeymoon period with Hou Ruoyun can only last until Zhao Liangde wakes up. If he doesn't give up his position by then, Hou Ruoyun will probably become his enemy.

But it doesn't matter now. Zhao Liangde hasn't woken up yet, so let's take it one step at a time. After all, who can tell clearly what will happen in the future.

After leaving the Zhao Mansion, Fang Qingyuan returned to the General Affairs Council. Now that he has no residence on Tianmen Mountain, he will probably live in the General Affairs Council for a long time to come.

The General Affairs Bureau wanted to give Fang Qingyuan a mansion, but Fang Qingyuan refused. Living outside was safer than living in the General Affairs Bureau. Although Fang Qingyuan felt that under Lechuan's eyes, no one would be guilty of occupying the General Affairs Bureau.

He wanted to take the position at the head of the courtyard and thus wanted his own life.

But we still need to be cautious. At the moment, safety is the most important thing.

And when several other experts arrive to support him, he will really have nothing to worry about, because these people can be counted as the combat power of the General Affairs Council.

I don’t know if Situ Jingyu will also come this time. She just took fifty high-grade spiritual stones from her. It should take a long time. She probably won’t do it for the spiritual stones that Lechuan opened.

And work hard for it.

Yes, when Lechuan invited other beast control disciples to come over, he also had to give spirit stones, and he gave them quite a lot. Otherwise, other sects would not be able to contribute much just relying on the friendship between fellow disciples.

Only spirit stones can unite these beast-controlling sects closely around the Southern Frontier Beast-controlling Sect, and only spirit stones can maintain each other's feelings.

According to Lechuan's wishes, the General Affairs Council formulated some standards. Among them, monks in the early stage of foundation building will receive a monthly subsidy of one thousand low-grade spiritual stones, two thousand in the mid-term, and five thousand in the later stage.

This spiritual stone cost a lot, and the other five branches all sent out a team led by a late-stage foundation-building monk. For this reason, Southern Border Beast Control had to pay nearly 300,000 low-grade spiritual stones to other branches every year.

Division.

The five families added up, that is the cost of 1.5 million low-grade spirit stones, and that is not all. The monks who come to assist the boxing have to be responsible for the rest of the expenses of the Southern Border Beastmaster, including food, accommodation and practice.

Assure.

As a result, this group of nearly a hundred people building foundations and practicing Qi will spend nearly two million low-grade spiritual stones in the sect a year. There are still ten years before the start of the war. According to Lechuan's wishes

, we have to fight against the Lingmu Alliance for ten years.

Calculated in this way, with an expenditure of 20 million in ten years, the Southern Xinjiang Beast Control Sect is really bleeding a lot.

After Fang Qingyuan heard about the family background of his sect yesterday, his heart suddenly became cold. He even wanted to find Lechuan and ask him to take back the order to invite foreign aid. Otherwise, after ten years, when the war starts, the sect's financial designation will not be able to withstand it.

live.

The current annual income of the Southern Xinjiang Royal Beast Sect is a total of 8 million low-grade spiritual stones. These 8 million include the Tianmen Shanfang City, the red iron mine, and the taxes of dozens of sects and monk families in the two thousand miles.

, the profits of several sect caravans, the profits of various animal farms, spiritual grounds and other places.

Eight million is a large amount, but for a sect that has thousands of monks to support and pay taxes to the Beast Control Mountain, eight million is nothing.

Every year, the unbeatable ones have to hand over three million to Yushou Mountain, and in addition, they have to give another one million to the Huo family, so there are only four million left.

The welfare benefits of thousands of monks cannot be reduced. The Foundation Establishment monks headed by Zhao Liangde are required to receive one million per year, while the thousands of Qi-training disciples only add up to half a million.

At this point, there are still 2.5 million left, but just now we have only calculated the monks’ salary expenses. Other expenses include the maintenance of the mountain guarding formation, the daily consumption of operating the formation, the exchange of favors with other sects, and the cost of dying in battle.

Therefore, spiritual stones are needed for disciple pensions, training of new disciples, etc.

There are so many things that need to be done. Two and a half million a year can cover the expenses. However, now there is a hole of two million. How can this be filled?

Fang Qingyuan recalled Lechuan's generous aura that day. At first, he thought his master was courageous. However, after settling the accounts, Fang Qingyuan realized that he was the only one who was injured.

The reason why Lechuan put himself in this position is probably because of his ability to make money.

Thinking of this, Fang Qingyuan sighed, put aside these annoying thoughts, closed his eyes and began to practice. He has not finished today's homework yet. Although his life span has been greatly increased and he is not in a hurry, daily practice cannot be wasted, otherwise it will take too long.

If you are busy today but have no time tomorrow, when can you improve your cultivation?

Therefore, Fang Qingyuan meditated seriously, absorbing the five elements of spiritual energy around him. With the quietly burning incense, Fang Qingyuan's mind fell into a deep trance.

Five days later, in the huge study room, Jinbao launched an attack on a takraw ball in a corner, while a red baby bird, like a little hen, was timidly staring at Jinbao, thinking.

Go up and play, but don't dare.

Half a day later, the red baby bird chirped softly and made a small sound, and Jinbao turned his head, glared at her, and went back to playing alone.

The red baby bird was so aggrieved that it came to Fang Qingyuan's feet and gently rubbed its head against Fang Qingyuan's trouser legs, seeking comfort.

When Fang Qingyuan saw this, he took her to the table in front of him and directed her to bring him a book in the distance.

At this time, Fang Qingyuan was sitting behind a huge sandalwood table, holding a booklet in his hand and reading it carefully. There were also many information and booklets placed on the table.

Although jade slips can store information, making it easier and faster for Fang Qingyuan to read, jade slips are expensive to make and are generally used to record martial arts. What Fang Qingyuan is looking at now is the information on the vassals of the Beast Control Sect in Southern Xinjiang and their recent trends.

, it is not worthwhile to use jade slips to record it, it is too luxurious.

When the young red bird picked up the book with high spirits, Fang Qingyuan put down the book in his hand, rubbed his brows and eyes, and said:

"Zhan Zhi'er, please come in."

Following Fang Qingyuan's words, Zhan Zhier pushed the door open and walked in. She came to Fang Qingyuan and saluted:

"Master Fang, what are your orders?"

Fang Qingyuan looked at Zhan Zhi'er and said slightly tiredly:

"Go and invite Senior Brother Zou Yu. I have something to discuss with him."

After hearing Fang Qingyuan's instructions, Zhan Zhier agreed with a crisp voice. She quickly turned around and left, closing the door when she left.

After Zhan Zhi'er left, Fang Qingyuan let out a breath of turbidity. Zhan Zhi'er was the disciple on duty these days. He was responsible for conveying various orders to Fang Qingyuan. What he did most was running errands like this.

.

It is strange to say that since that day when Zhan Zhi'er met Fang Qingyuan and became the first person, her facial expression was a little out of control. At other times, her face was very calm and she had no intention of coming forward to recognize her.

The same was true for Fang Qingyuan. Since Zhan Zhi'er didn't say anything, there was no need for Fang Qingyuan to mention what happened back then. So the two of them maintained a tacit understanding and understood each other tacitly.

After just a short while, Zou Yu hurried to Fang Qingyuan's desk, and Fang Qingyuan looked at him for a few times before saying:

"Senior Brother Zou, do you have anything to say to me?"

Zou Yu was stunned, didn't you ask me to come? How can you ask me?

But when Zou Yu looked at Fang Qingyuan's expression, his heart suddenly trembled, and then he said:
