Chapter 920 The Great Changes in the Jianghu, Fang Jie's Next Plan (6000 words)
At the beginning of the game, there were more than 300 million disciples of the Xuedaomen. As such a little-known faction, it was able to have so many players at the beginning, mainly because of the Xuedaomen in the previous "Network Heroes". It was extremely vigorous, and attracted a large number of players who advocated force to join. However, Fang Jie later judged that the blood knife sect was centrifugal, and the overall strength of the players increased, so many disciples of the blood knife sect left for other sects. Now the number of blood knife sect There are less than 120 million people at full count.

However, the small number of people is not necessarily a bad thing. After all, the handicap is small, and the funds required for infrastructure construction are much less.

The first thing Decadent Xue Shao did after he came to power was to open the practice room facilities out of his own pocket, and bought 100 million sets of copies of the practice room at one time, which cost as much as [-] billion. Of all the sects, the decadent Xueshao of the Blood Knife Sect is the only head of the sect who completely controls the ownership of the sect's training room.

After buying the copies of these training rooms, Decadent Xue Shao announced to the disciples of this faction: All disciples of the core group of Xuedaomen will use these training rooms for free, and disciples of non-core groups will pay one ten thousandth of the price of the copy of the training room, that is, The standard of ten taels of gold is used to pay the rent, and all the payment methods are included in the head tax of the school for unified collection. The standard of the head tax of the school is tentatively set at 100 taels of gold. Once the trial operation period is over, it will be reduced to ten taels of gold.

After the implementation of this measure, even though the policy for non-core group disciples was already very favorable, it still aroused dissatisfaction among those non-core group disciples, so immediately, Decadent Blood announced to expand the size of the core group, from the original three 10 The core group of [-] people has been expanded to six branches. As a result, half of the disciples in the entire Xuedaomen are members of the core group who enjoy the free practice room policy. Naturally, these people can no longer have any objections. Even if the half of the non-core group disciples wanted to make waves, it would be impossible.

After stabilizing the situation, under the advice of Hengdao Xiaotian and other Xuedaomen's high-level executives, Decadent Xueshao began to ignite the third fire of the new official's appointment - announcing to the outside world that all master-level players in the world are welcome to join the Xuedaomen, Its benefits are the same as those of non-core group disciples, and the number of the first batch of expansion is tentatively set at 100 million!
In fact, at this time, Decadent Xue Shao had no money in his hands. Just buying the 100 million copies of the practice room had already used up all his cash and money. But fortunately, the ownership of these copies of the practice room was his. Yes, millions of rents can be collected every day, plus the head tax of hundreds of millions per day, so that these withdrawn funds can gradually purchase copies of the practice room in batches to meet the accommodation needs of the recruits.

Comparing the welfare systems of various sects in the Jianghu, on the surface, the Blood Knife Sect does not seem to have any amazing policies, and it is even worse than other sects. And even after the Blood Knife Sect stabilizes, they still have to charge ten taels of gold, and the poll tax is ten times higher than that of the Wudang Sect.

But in fact, one point that is easily overlooked is that Wudang disciples buy or rent the practice room with their own money. If they buy it, they have to spend 10 taels of gold at one time. If they rent it, they have to pay every day. The rent of 100 taels is given to the game system; while the cost of living for disciples of the Blood Knife Sect is significantly lower. The core disciples do not spend money on accommodation, and only pay ten taels of gold head tax per day, and the non-core disciples only pay ten taels of gold per day. Rent plus a poll tax of ten taels of gold.

So in fact, the daily living cost of a Wudang sect disciple is 20 taels of gold, while the cost of a non-core disciple of the Xuedao sect is only [-] taels of gold. Even if you want to leave the school in the future, you can leave at any time without any worries, and you don't have to sell your own practice room at a discount. If a Wudang disciple becomes a teacher of the Wudang school, the practice room you bought before is basically useless. This is an extremely wasteful duplication of construction for players.

Obviously, anyone with a discerning eye can figure this out clearly, so shortly after Decadent Xueshao announced to the outside world that the Blood Knife Sect would expand to recruit 100 million master-level players, a large number of homeless players frantically flocked to the Blood Knife Most of these players were kicked out of the sect during the purge after the heads of the various sects took office. Among them are some top masters in the arena. The gang's Shangguan Haoran and a large number of his subordinates, as a result, just following Shangguan Haoran and the group of master-level disciples of the Stained Clothes Sect who came to join him, the number exceeded 20. It took a huge sum of hundreds of millions of RMB to barely settle down these people.

The risk of taking full control of the martial arts training room out of one's own pocket, like Decadent Blood, is extremely risky, but the so-called risk and return are directly proportional. If Decadent Blood can maintain this situation relatively smoothly, in the future, just The daily rent is an objective amount, and the money goes into his own bank account. After all, he purchased the ownership and use rights of these practice rooms from the game system in his private name and then sublet them out. So strictly speaking, the Blood Knife Sect is the most thoroughly privatized sect among all the sects in Jianghu.

Perhaps inspired by this model, or instigated by money management experts, when the funds are gradually insufficient, Xuedaomen even invented a system of raising funds to build a house in the use of copies of the practice room. That is to allow some high-level personnel with strong financial strength to pay for a certain number of copies of the practice room and then sublet them out to ensure housing. In the end, 30% of the income they get will be handed over to Decadent Blood, and the other 70% of the profits will be owned by themselves. .

The benefits of this kind of shareholding system are naturally obvious. It not only shares the risks, but also greatly solves the problem of housing shortages. While ensuring that the disciples of the sect receive relatively generous welfare benefits, it also protects the interests of the core high-level personnel of the sect. It also stimulated their enthusiasm to work hard to build the sect well, so once this system was launched, it received a response from all the high-level leaders, making the blood knife sect's number of disciples exceed 300 in less than a week after announcing the expansion of enrollment [-], and the shortfall in housing funds brought by it was filled by the top officials.

Interestingly, the system of raising funds and building houses invented by Xuedaomen was quickly adopted by the heads of various factions in Jianghu. It belongs to one's own bank account, instead of losing it to the game system or entering the sect fund account in vain. It also adopts a combination of various systems, among which the method of high-level fundraising to carve up the cake accounts for the largest proportion .

Even... In reality, some well-funded forces and chaebols have issued statements through the spokespersons in the game, expressing their willingness to invest a certain amount of funds for venture capital after a comprehensive assessment of the situation of each faction, dedicated to the game world The real estate hype inside.

Regarding this matter, Feng Lin also specifically discussed with Fang Jie whether to adopt this system to speed up the pace of the sect's development, but Fang Jie very rationally believed that this system has advantages and disadvantages. In rare cases, taking this approach can indeed achieve greater development in the short term.However, there is a saying that everything must be done according to one's ability. The use of this kind of capital leverage only looks glamorous on the surface, but there are actually many hidden dangers in the inside. Once a large share of the basic living facilities such as the practice room is handed over to outsiders for unified management, many decisions will be controlled by others, so it is not recommended that the Emei School also copy this system.

Although Feng Lin was very envious of the system of raising funds to build houses, but out of Fang Jie's absolute trust, she finally gave up the idea hesitantly. At this moment, many sects in the world are using this system to frantically recruit students The players who were kicked out of the sect during the purge, as a result, these players who were homeless a few days ago were all divided up by various factions in the rivers and lakes. Finally, according to official statistics, except for the Emei faction and the original In the overcrowded beggar gang, the number of disciples from various sects in the rivers and lakes has increased to varying degrees.

Of course, the increase in the number of sects does not mean that the development momentum of this sect is positive.

For example, the Huashan faction, after being elected as the head of the sect, the first thing to do was to clean the leader of the Jianzong Zhang San, the leader of the Qizong Qiu Wanzui and their subordinates from the Huashan faction. In the eyes of ordinary players, the election with money piled up is obviously an unfair election. In addition, there are too many forces and personnel in the Air Sect and the Sword Sect. There are so many barbaric and willful people that it is too late to cleanse all the opponents. The opposition forces have fully launched the impeachment procedure against the leader.

Not only that, because the game system has modified the Judgment System, the massacre between disciples of the same sect is not counted as a judge. As a result, after the general election, the entire Huashan faction broke out in a large-scale armed riot. In the first half of the operation, Jianzong and Qizong, the disciples of Qizong Wufeng's subordinates, killed each other bloody and jealous, and the barbaric wayward who had just taken office had no time to take care of sect affairs at all, and was only busy all day long. While kicking people, he led his troops to put out fires in Huashan. At the same time, he raised the head tax of the sect to 10 taels of gold per day in an extremely frightening way, in order to force all the remnants of the opposition party to apply to leave the Huashan faction.

Under the triple coercive attack of personnel, military, and economy, which was barbaric and willful, this armed riot, which lasted seven days and seven nights, finally ended with a large number of opposition party disciples being completely kicked out. After all, the head is the head, and the head with the supreme power has an absolute advantage in internal struggles. Once he takes office, his status is almost impossible to shake.

However, I have to say it again, although the barbaric and willful extinguished the armed riot, but on the eighth day of taking office, he was automatically and dramatically kicked out by the game system because the total number of impeachment votes exceeded half.

The root cause of his resignation is not only because almost everyone in the opposition party voted for impeachment, while the total number of Huashan faction has relatively decreased, making the impeachment votes more than half, but also because of the barbaric willful increase of the faction poll tax to 10 taels of gold , forcing a large number of innocent disciples of the Huashan faction to leave the Huashan faction to seek refuge, and these people, under a certain kind of extreme resentment and disappointment, unanimously made an oolong before leaving, smashing the only impeachment vote in their hands to Savage and capricious...

As a result, on the eighth day after the general election of the head of the Huashan faction, halfway through the free trial operation of the faction, the head of the Huashan faction was barbaric and willful and became the second head of the sect to be kicked out in the rivers and lakes. The second general election of the leader was automatically started, which also brought the development and construction of the Huashan faction to a standstill. Of course, from the end of the general election to the present, the Huashan faction has been in this state of stagnation or even retrogression.

Being impeached and resigned is probably the biggest blow in her life for the barbaric and willful woman who almost emptied all her family assets. Even if she found out that her husband was having an affair, even if she wanted to die with her husband but she survived, there is no such thing. One hit her even harder, because in the eyes of the barbaric and willful, without money, it is tantamount to losing everything.

Moreover, what made her want to cry the most was that she stepped down, but at this time the amount of funds in the sect fund account was as high as more than 2 trillion, that is to say, she risked the world to raise the sect poll tax to 10 taels of gold a day collected this huge amount of almost astronomical money, but made a big wedding dress for the latecomers. It is conceivable that the second head of the Huashan School is even an incompetent mediocrity. The money is enough to help him develop the Huashan faction quickly!

But then, something even more dramatic happened that people didn't expect - after the Huashan faction's second head election, in less than two days, the barbaric and willful won more than half of the votes again and was elected as the Huashan faction The second leader!

It turns out that after a week of mass cleansing and turmoil, the Huashan faction, which originally had a total population of 800 million, has a total population of less than 80, and most of these 80 people are loyal followers of barbarism. , these people are actually very clear that the reason why the barbaric and willful raise the sect head tax to 10 taels of gold is purely to use economic means to attack those rebels... It doesn’t matter if you don’t know, anyway, the dust has settled now, if you want to If another new leader is chosen, it is most suitable for the barbaric willful. They believe that after this upheaval, the barbaric and capricious, who is already generous and capable, should not treat them badly, and should be able to turn the ruined Huashan Pai re-development and construction.

From the sect's first apprentice competition to the present, barbaric and willful has experienced several times of psychological journey from great joy to great sadness, and then from great sorrow to great joy. As for ordinary people being driven crazy by this incident.

And after Barbarian and Willful took office again, the first decision he made was to open 80 copies of the practice room at one time and promised to use it permanently for the remaining 80 Huashan School disciples free of charge, in order to repay these people for their kindness of rebuilding; the second The first decision is to permanently exempt the 80 Huashan sect disciples from the poll tax, but the additional condition is that once they leave the Huashan sect and return in the future, this benefit will be cancelled; the third thing is to return 100 million taels to each disciple. The tax on gold is to subsidize the loss of high taxation a while ago.

After implementing these three generous repayment policies, Barbaric and Willful began to recruit disciples to enrich the population base of the Huashan faction, but there is a limitation that all players who have left the Huashan faction before are not within the scope of the expansion, and new recruits come in Huashan School disciples will no longer enjoy the above three preferential policies, but will be charged according to the average tax standard and practice room rental standard of various schools in the world.

After the Huashan faction recruited disciples, the total number quickly returned to the standard before the riot and there was an increase. However, the original "indigenous" players of the Huashan faction accounted for only one tenth of them, so the overall strength of the Huashan faction has dropped several times compared to before. After all, if the martial arts war starts, such a hodgepodge The coordination of unified operations has been lost.

At the same time that the situation of various factions in the Jianghu is changing rapidly, those sects that were almost abandoned by the players in the past have also returned to their former glory.

The most typical one is the Snow Mountain Sect's Lingxiao City. Fang Jie had been to Lingxiao City during his training period. A month ago, it was just a "dead city". The dead city suddenly became lively, because many homeless forces who wanted to make a comeback regarded Lingxiao City as the last life-saving grass, and rushed into the faction to fight for the control of their sect.

The head disciple of the Xueshan faction is Xuanyuanfeng, who had already given up the management of the faction long ago, and in the general election of the sect, the few thousand remaining players of the Xueshan faction voted for Xuanyuanfeng when they were bored , and after Xuanyuanfeng took office, he still had a laissez-faire attitude towards all affairs in Lingxiao City, and directly appointed a dozen or so Xueshan faction players who had never even met each other as the deputy heads and elders of the faction, and then transferred the All the authority has been lowered into the hands of these people, and I have completely put down the burden and ignored the work.

Xuanyuanfeng naturally thinks that staying in Wangqing Pavilion is good enough now, and the senior management of Wangqing Pavilion doesn't like this remote sect. After all, Wangqing Pavilion also wants to establish a sect, so there is really no need to just watch it He didn't have the energy and interest to be in the pot, but in this way, he gave others a chance.

At first, the first people to enter this "geom and water treasure land" were the forces purged from some nearby sects, such as Dalun Temple, Xuedaomen, Wudu Sect, White Camel Mountain, and Xingxiu Sect. The opposition party was the dominant force, and the policy adopted by the high-level amateurs of the Xueshan faction was to accept all comers, so the number of disciples of the Xueshan faction suddenly increased from less than 1 to 200 million in three days.

But when the ambitions of those amateur high-ranking members of the Xueshan faction rapidly expanded, they discovered that these recruited people did not take them seriously at all, and they even jointly launched an impeachment procedure, which was successfully launched in only half a day. A "coup d'état" was carried out, and Xuanyuanfeng and those high-level Xueshan faction appointed at will were pushed down from power.

After that, the city of Lingxiao became lively. Today, the leader of this faction was elected as the leader, and tomorrow he was impeached and stepped down by other forces, and the day after tomorrow, one group of people won over another group of people to win the position. Behind the door, in order to keep the fruits of victory, Da Houtian continued to recruit more outsiders and promised to attract more forces with benefits, but when Da Houtian, the newly joined forces kicked away the previous customers, and turned himself into the city lord of Lingxiao City. But not a long time later, he was jointly impeached and stepped down by other forces on charges of "breach of trust" and "ungratefulness".

As a result, more and more forces participated in this game of political struggle. In addition to the evil forces that first entered Lingxiao City, there were also opposition forces from the Beggars' Gang, Huashan faction, Wudang faction, Dali Duan clan... They joined in one after another, and even a group of ambitious Emei disciples who were lured out of the sect by Feng Lin also joined in. Moreover, these forces often become the masters today, step down tomorrow, be cleared out of Lingxiao City, and be promoted the day after tomorrow The forces wooed and entered the city again.

In short, the political situation in High Peak City is dazzling, changing every day, and the process is extremely dramatic, and from the beginning to the end, no leader of a faction can be in charge of High Cloud City for more than two days.

In "On War" by Prussian military strategist Karl von Clausewitz and "On Protracted War" by Mao Zedong, there is a classic statement: "War is the continuation of politics and the advanced stage of political struggle. "War is bloody politics, and politics is bloodless war."

Obviously, after the political chaos in Lingxiao City has developed to such an extent, it has to enter an advanced stage, that is, it can only speak with guns. When the opposition forces and the total number of people are approaching 1000 million, large-scale armed bloody conflicts will inevitably occur.

As for the fuse, it was actually just a very small and inconspicuous thing - when a Huashan Sword Sect player was walking in Lingxiao City, he accidentally stepped on a Beggar Clan Dirty Clothes Sect who was laying a shop on the street. The player's foot, and the Beggar Gang player refused to accept the other party's apology out of some kind of displeasure. With the participation of various forces, it has evolved into a large-scale fighting involving nearly tens of millions of people...

Fang Jie naturally didn't know much about the specifics of this fight, and he wasn't interested in learning about it. At this time, the half-month trial operation of the sect had ended, and the Jiuyin Magic Art was also in trial operation. On the third day after the end, the rehearsal was finally successful, so Fang Jie's next plan is that after handing over the training task, a series of preparatory work for the self-built sect will be put on the agenda.

For this reason, Fang Jie had to notify Wangqing Pavilion's senior management, and decided to hold a Wangqing Pavilion senior management meeting in three days to discuss the preparations for the self-established sect and the overall planning and deployment in the future.
