Yang Kang has nine suns

Chapter 252 The Status Quo of Ming Cult
Through Zhong Qizhi, Yang Kang temporarily asked about the various resources in his hands at this time.

The most interesting thing among these resources is funds. At present, his Taikang Gang and Mingjiao together have a total of 110 million taels of silver. Does it seem like a lot?However, in the eyes of Yang Kang, these funds are far from enough.

These funds seem to be strong, but Yang Kang has too many people under his command.

First of all, he originally had the Taikang Gang, which recruited more than [-] people, not including family members.

Then there were more than [-] people from Lu Chengfeng Guiyun Village and the bandits from the Taihu Water Village who came to join him. There were also many people who had no choice but to stay in the Taihu Lake area because they didn't want to join him, but because they were afraid of attracting the attention of the government. It can also be regarded as part of Yang Kang's forces.

Then there is the heavyweight Mingjiao. At this time, Mingjiao has millions of congregants across the country. Although most of them cannot be managed by Yang Kang, there is no need to take care of them. After all, many people are far away in Shanxi or Bashu. Yang Kang will take care of them if he wants. However, there are naturally other subordinates under the management of Yang Kang; a considerable number of them are rebels from the Ximing Sect and Dongming Sect.

Fortunately, each part of the Mingjiao also has a certain amount of gold and silver, so Yang Kang doesn't need to pay too much attention to it; even so, more than 5000 original Mingjiao people have come to the headquarters intermittently.

As for Yang Kang’s 110 million taels of silver, 40 taels of which are profits from the sale of glass, sugar, and liquor. Beautiful and many other advantages, it was very popular among the upper class in the Southern Song Dynasty, and even the imperial palace of the Southern Song Dynasty bought it, so the profits it brought were quite large.

Of course, it is also because of these huge profits that Mingjiao/Taikang Gang cannot enjoy it exclusively. Zhong Qizhi distributed a large part, about [-]%, to the relevant officials of the Southern Song Dynasty, so that each of them can make a lot of money lying down. The only requirement is not to allow the court to intervene in the management of them.

Then Lu Chengfeng and the Taihu group of thieves also took out 20 taels of savings to help Yang Kang's power develop. This money was accumulated by them for many years. Although it is not much, considering that they are just "stealing" , and its sincerity is also evident.

The remaining 50 taels were the funds handed over by the Nanming Sect. It can be said bluntly that it is really shabby, but even so, it was fully handed over when the Nanming Sect had no leader and could only follow Yang Kang most desperately. come.As for Zhongmingjiao and Beimingjiao, they haven't expressed anything yet, and Yang Kang didn't bother to care.

Of course, these funds are only the current working capital of the Mingjiao headquarters, and the various workshops are real estate. As long as the workers are paid a certain salary, the products in the workshop will be produced to bring him a steady stream of profits.

According to the current situation and a rough calculation, Mingjiao can have an income of 40 taels of silver and an expenditure of 15 taels of silver a month.

The key problem is that the market demand for Yangkang glass will always be saturated. Nowadays, glass fashion is emerging everywhere, and the upper class admires glass very much. However, there is only one workshop that can quickly produce glass, so the supply exceeds demand in a short period of time. Over time, as the novelty of glass wears off, the market is gradually saturated, the demand for glass will decrease, and the price will naturally decrease.

At that time, although the fragile properties of glass are there, so that the glass will not be neglected, the profit will be much lower.

Just like his white sugar and white wine were very popular in a short period of time after they were produced, the demand also decreased over time.

The most important problem is that there are still many places in Yang Kang's plan that need to use money.

It costs money to recruit soldiers and horses, to feed the people of the Ming Cult, and to build relationships. Even if Yang Kang intends to manufacture new products that are sure to sell well, he still needs to spend money as an initial investment.

Yang Kang had to plan to take advantage of this time to develop other new industries, so as not to sit back and eat.After all, if the money is earned, it cannot be used to make money. It must be used for business, so the money has to be spent and used to make money.

Moreover, we have to find a way to expand the power of the Ming Cult, otherwise the current power alone will not be enough.

In addition, as I suddenly owned the Mingjiao, my influence suddenly expanded. Now I can't use this corner of Jiaxing for long-term independent development. I must find a reliable rear to avoid being under the eyes of the Song people exposed underneath.

In the evening, Yang Kang invited Huang Rong to have a long talk with her all night, and he never did anything other than that!

……

On the second day, all of Yang Kang's important subordinates in Jiaxing were summoned to a larger courtyard at the headquarters. Apart from those who came to greet him yesterday, the attendees included many important figures from Mingjiao and members of the Taikang Gang. Several leaders of the Taihu bandits, such as He Jin and Shi Quan, also came.

Yang Kang sat on the main seat, Huang Rong, A Xue, and Mu Nianci accompanied him, and the rest sat on the left and right according to their respective positions and backgrounds. Yang Kang's old subordinates and the two senior brothers who accompanied him sat On the left, the leader of the Ming Cult sits on the right.

In addition, there are guests like Zhu Ziliu who are not from Mingjiao but have profound insights, and Yang Kang will naturally not forget it.

After everyone had arrived, Yang Kang slowly said, "Today I called everyone together to discuss a few things."

"I don't know what instruction the leader has?" Zhong Qizhi on Yang Kang's left asked. To be honest, he was not used to it. The shock given to him by the leader is already big enough, and he is like a modern secretary. It has been from Chilongtang, to Taikang Gang, and now.
"The first thing I want to announce today must have been tacitly understood by all of you, and that is to completely merge my Taikang Gang into the Mingjiao. In the future, our Mingjiao will use the Taikang Gang to do business in the official and private sectors." It’s a cover, but in fact we all know that we are Mingjiao.”

Everyone was not surprised when they heard the words. Yang Kang had already hinted at this matter before, but he didn't say it outright, so they were mentally prepared and didn't have any opinions or rebuttals.

Seeing that everyone was calm and there was no objection, Yang Kang continued: "Then I will announce the second thing, which is to confirm everyone's positions."

The Taikang Gang was merged into the Mingjiao. Originally, the Dharma protectors and elders in the Taikang Gang definitely could not start as ordinary disciples of the Mingjiao, and had to arrange certain positions.

Yang Kang had already thought of this when he simply arranged the personal status of Mingjiao in Chibi before. Generally speaking, it still needs to be determined according to each person's martial arts and ability.

Everyone heard the words and had no objection, so Yang Kang asked Huang Rong to come up with a list, which involved some arrangements he had discussed with Huang Rong last night.

I have to say that Huang Rong is indeed a qualified female "secretary". Her wisdom, knowledge, and talent are all very powerful. She is also able to deal with these trivial matters with ease, and she is also quite scheming, which makes Yang Kang lament that he has really picked up a treasure. up.

First of all, there is only one leader of the Ming Cult, so naturally he is the only one to hold it; the left and right envoys have already been decided, so there is no need to think about it.

As for the Dharma King of Mingjiao, there is only one Yang Miaozhen at present, and there are at least three vacancies. After all, there is no rule that Mingjiao can only have four Dharma Kings.

　I found that I was not suitable for writing farming plots, and I was a little uncomfortable.
