Tian Yuan Xian Ji

Chapter 556 Zongmen Financial Details
Tang Ning was promoted as the deacon of the intelligence department. She knew how much power the deacon had in the department.

At that time, all departments of the entire sect will be in a state of paralysis, and may not even be able to pay normal salaries.

The hall fell silent for a while, and Peng Wanli didn't rush. After a while, Tangning said slowly, "Is there a sentence that I don't know if I should say it or not?"

Peng Wanli smiled and said, "I came to you to discuss matters, so how can I talk about anything?"

Tang Ning said: "I think that if we want to reduce the cost of spirit stones, we need to focus on the overall situation, not just focus on the disciples of each department. If we forcefully extract oil from them, it may lead to very serious consequences, especially now that the Demon Sect Rampant, two battles against each other, I am afraid it is not a very good time to implement financial reform at this time."

Peng Wanli nodded: "Continue,"

Tang Ning said: "The biggest expenditure of the sect is not the consumption of various departments and departments, and they are all necessary expenses. When the salary cannot be reduced, starting with the funding spirit stone will have little effect, and people will not accept it. If it is true Determined to reduce spending, I think it will only work if it is up, otherwise it will be impossible to move an inch."

Peng Wanli smiled and said: "Just let it go, no matter whose interests are involved, no matter how high his position is, how powerful he is, or how powerful he is, the teacher and I will support you. Are you satisfied with this answer?"

Tang Ning nodded slightly. The meaning of her words was obvious, that is, she agreed with him to cut expenses from the top. Obviously, there was a secret agreement between Luo Qingshui and Peng Wanli.

At the last minute, Peng Wanli openly expressed his support for Luo Qingshui, allowing him to sit on the position of head teacher. After that, the sect immediately began to reduce the funds of various departments.

Now, he is asked to implement a new financial reform system, and promises that Luo Qingshui will support the plan to reduce expenses from the top.

It seems that this item was included in the original agreement between the two.

The reason why Peng Wanli needed him to carry out the new financial plan was not only because he didn't want to offend the disciples of the various departments below, but probably the bigger reason was to avoid a head-on collision with the sect's senior management.

If we want to start from the top and cut their expenses and funds, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among other people, such as Shi Mingsui, Tong Quan'an, and Cheng Shuimin.

These people have high positions and many confidants, and they have very strong influence in the sect.

Therefore, a buffer zone is needed to avoid direct confrontation. He is the buffer zone. Luo Qingshui and Peng Wanli push him to the foreground.

Tang Ning said, "I don't think it's a very good time. This matter needs to be discussed in the long term. If we act too hastily, it may backfire."

Peng Wanli nodded and said: "You have enough time, don't rush this matter, you can slowly formulate a plan and launch it at the right time, and the head teacher and I will fully support you, I only have one request, the sect's expenses should be reduced by three." One-tenth. Once the plan is implemented, I want to see the effect."

"I'm not very familiar with the financial aspect of the sect, I need to understand it first, and then plan a plan."

"I've prepared it. Here are the detailed accounts for the past ten years. Take a look and it will be helpful for you to formulate reform plans in the future." Peng Wanli turned his left hand, took out a stack of thick files and handed them to him.

Tangning took the file and flipped through it.

Peng Wanli explained from the side: "In the past ten years, the total income of the sect has been [-] million spirit stones, and the total expenditure has been more than [-] million."

"Among them, the Internal Affairs Court spent [-] million spirit stones, the Foreign Affairs Council spent [-] million spirit stones, and the Secret Academy spent [-] million spirit stones."

"Qingxuan Hall spends [-] million spirit stones, Xuande Hall spends [-] million spirit stones, and Yuanyi Hall spends [-] million spirit stones."

"This is departmental expenditure."

"In addition, the salary of all department managers is about [-] million spirit stones per year, and the salary of Jindan monks is [-] million spirit stones."

"There are four small spiritual mines in the state of Chu, and the Mozong has occupied two of them. They are the Shuxu Mountain Spirit Mine and the Huangxuan Mountain Spirit Mine. The remaining Jingping Mountain Spirit Mine and Wuyun Mountain Spirit Mine produce about [-] spirit mines every year. stone."

"There are also ten formal shops under the Zongmen, three shops in Chu, three shops in Wu, three shops in Qi, including Duanjishan Square. There are ten shops in total, with an annual profit of about two million spirits. stone."

"There are a total of five gambling houses under the control of Zongmen Assets, with an annual profit of about [-] spirit stones."

"The Zongmen has participated in twenty-five gambling houses, shops and attics, with an annual profit of about half a million spirit stones."

"The spiritual stone tax revenue of each practice family within the jurisdiction of Chu State is about [-]."

"There is also foreign export trade, which is directly connected with the chamber of commerce, including spirit beasts, various cultivation materials, etc., and the annual income is about [-] spirit stones."

"As well as the Xuanyue Mountain Zhongpin Spirit Mine, we jointly mine with Shuiyun and Qingyang, and earn about one million spirit stones every year."

"To sum up, the Zongmen's annual income is between [-] million and [-] million yuan, and the annual expenditure needs to be at least [-] million yuan. In recent decades, the Zongmen has been unable to make ends meet."

"Combined with the plunder of the Demon Sect, the expenditure will be even greater, at least nine million yuan a year, and sometimes even as high as ten million yuan."

"We have a balance of [-] million spirit stones in the bank account of the Baoxing Chamber of Commerce, and there are [-] million spirit stones in the Zongmen storage. This is all the assets of the sect."

"If this progress continues, the sect's savings will be exhausted in less than a hundred years, so financial reform is imminent."

"Whether a sect is strong or not, there are two indicators. One is the strength of the cultivator itself, and the other is the financial resources of the sect."

"The two are inseparable. The collapse of either party will cause the entire sect to collapse."

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

Tangning flipped through the dossiers. All the financial income and expenditures of the sect in the past ten years were clearly recorded.

I don't know if I don't see it, but I really shocked him when I saw it.

Almost one-third of the Zongmen's financial expenditure is spent on high-level monks. You must know that there are [-] monks in the entire Zongmen, and there are only seven or eight Jindan monks, but they can use up one-third of the financial expenditure. , it is conceivable how much proportion it accounts for.

Take the secret academy as an example, the annual budget is [-] spirit stones, only [-] are allocated to various departments, and the remaining [-] spirit stones belong to Yin Qingyuan alone, which is not a big deal.

In addition to removing [-] spirit stones from the funds, Yin Qingyuan received a salary of [-] spirit stones a year, which meant that Yin Qingyuan got at least [-] spirit stones every year, not including the secret share.

Including the [-] allocated by the Jie Secret Academy, a total of [-] spirit stones, he took [-] by himself. This ratio is simply exaggerated. No wonder the Zongmen’s finances will not be able to make ends meet. The source is all from this .

According to the sect's rules, Luo Qingshui, Tong Quan'an, Peng Wanli, Shi Mingsui, Yin Qingyuan, Cheng Shuimin, and Zhuang Xingan were all paid [-] yuan a year.

Jiang Yuhuan and Tang Ning, the stewards of the three halls and three courtyards, get a salary of [-] yuan per year.

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

The hall fell into silence for a while. Peng Wanli only briefly introduced the general financial aspects of the sect, without further explanation. The only sound in the empty hall was the rustling of Tang Ning flipping the files.

After a while, he read all the three-foot-thick dossiers, and had a general understanding of the sect's finances.

He closed the last file and said, "I'm going to go back and think about it carefully, and then try to come up with a financial reform plan. Can I take these files back to read?"

Peng Wanli said: "Of course, these were originally prepared for you. There is no need to rush, you can plan slowly. My bottom line is that the financial reform plan you proposed should control the expenditure of the entire sect at [-] per year. In Wan Lingshi, at least the expenditure must be equal to the income to maintain the development of the sect. Otherwise, the sect will inevitably collapse in the long run."

"Just now you said that there are [-] million Lingshi savings in the storage room of the sect. I don't know where the storage room is?"

"Don't worry about this. You just came to Yuanyi Palace and you are not very familiar with all aspects of affairs. It is better to call the deacons of each department to meet with you. At least you must know that you have left your post and come here."

Two rotating disciples from outside came into the hall, bowed and said: "Master, what is your order?"

"Go and call the deacons of the various departments to discuss the matter."

"Yes." The two responded and turned around and left the hall.

After about a stick of incense, a tall, burly middle-aged man walked in from the outside, glanced at Tangning, and then bowed to Peng Wanli, "My disciple pays his respects to Uncle Peng."

Uncle Peng nodded slightly, but said nothing.

Not long after, another tall and straight man walked in, also saluted Peng Wanli, and stood aside.

One after another, three more people walked to the hall, a total of five people, standing below.

Peng Wanli said, "I've called you here today to announce an appointment from the sect. From now on, Junior Brother Tangning will be in charge of the sect's finances."

"Disciple pays respects to Master Tang." Several people bowed to Tangning one after another.

Peng Wanli pointed to them and introduced them one by one from left to right: "This is Lin Yifan, the deacon of the inspection department, responsible for the inspection of the sect's assets."

"This is Zhang Miao, the deacon of Yuanzi Department, responsible for the distribution of salaries for the sect's disciples."

"This is Zhu Zhongwen, the deacon of the palm seal department, responsible for all financial audits of the sect."

"This is Wu Yong, the deacon of the Outer Imperial Department, responsible for the statistical processing of assets outside the sect."

"This is He Ming, the deacon of the Internal Supervision Department, responsible for the asset statistics and processing work in the sect."

"From now on, when I'm not in the sect, Junior Brother Tangning will be in charge of Yuanyi Palace affairs."

"Yes." The crowd responded.

Peng Wanli waved his hand: "Go!"

"Disciple farewell." Several people turned and left the hall.
