Chronicles of Celestial Origins

"Not only that, the sect has also made adjustments to the position subsidy. To put it simply, it means lowering the salary of the position subsidy. Like the funds, everyone's position subsidy has been reduced by half." When the two were silent, Sima Nianzu Another piece of bad news.

Job allowances are part of the salary. In Qingwu Camp, all positions above squad leader have corresponding salary standards.

The small captain is 10 million, the brigade manager is 15 million, the brigade deputy captain is 20 million, the brigade supervisor is 20 million, and the brigade captain is 25 million.

The wing manager is 40 million, the wing deputy captain is 50 million, the wing supervisor is 50 million, and the wing captain is 60 million.

"Even the job subsidy has been reduced?" Qin Jin frowned, his face already a bit gloomy.

With this slash of the sect, two profits were directly cut off, and both were cut in half. It was not said to be ruthless.

It can be seen that the financial pressure is indeed great, otherwise we would not do this.

The rebellion in Donglai County has just been put down, and so many new resource areas have been divided. Logically speaking, the benefits should be higher than before. After all, the disciples of each department have paid a lot to exterminate the rebels. After the war, it is time to enjoy the results.

But the sect went against the norm and started to focus on both funding and salaries at the same time, subtracting the income of each disciple.

"Funds and job subsidies have been halved, and the headquarters must also take corresponding measures to control expenses. I think that from now on, each ministry will stop recruiting monks and strictly control the number of monks recruited. Each team must not recruit more than fifty monks. Except for In addition, the rewards for recruiting monks who dig spiritual mines will also be halved. What do the two junior brothers think?" Sima Nianzu asked.

In addition to the share of the spiritual mine revenue, Qingwuying's funds include the salaries of the monks recruited.

According to the regulations, each team can recruit one hundred monk helpers. In fact, none of the ministries can meet this standard, but the funds received are based on one hundred people.

Nowadays, the sect has reduced the share of the spiritual mines and spiritual stones, and has also reduced the job subsidy salary. Only the salary for recruiting monks has not been reduced.

Therefore, by controlling the number of monks recruited, a salary can be saved to compensate for losses.

Naturally, the two of them had no objections to this and both nodded in agreement.

"Junior Brother Qin, how many spiritual stones have been earned from the industries under our headquarters this year?"

"In the past, elixirs and alchemy accounted for a large share of the industries under the jurisdiction of the headquarters. Now the medicinal herb seeds for the spiritual veins in various places have just been sown, and it will take at least several decades for them to grow and mature. Therefore, the industry income of the headquarters this year is relatively small. , the ore, liquid and other cultivation resources sold in various jurisdictions, plus some trade routes controlled by the headquarters, the total revenue is only 80,000 high-grade spiritual stones. "

Sima Nianzu said: "Now that funds are being cut, in addition to cutting expenses, we have to find ways to increase revenue and increase additional income. I want to continue to expand the industries under my headquarters. We can start from two aspects. The first is to increase the Wutong Pavilion trade route. way."

"Second, contact each sect and obtain the cultivation resources in their jurisdiction at a lower price. For example, we don't have elixirs now, but we can purchase a large amount of elixirs in their jurisdiction and refine them into elixirs for sale."

Tang Ning said: "Nowadays, there are fixed forces operating on every trade route in this city. Previously, according to our plan, we forcibly exchanged trade routes for other sects, which has aroused dissatisfaction among many people. If we further expand the trade routes, I am afraid that it will cause They joined forces to resist.”

"As for the resource jurisdictions of other forces in this city, many of them have regular cooperation with the Chamber of Commerce. If we forcefully intervene, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction from the Chamber of Commerce."

"I'm afraid neither of these is that easy to accomplish."

Qin Jin said: "Any way to make money in this world can be easily accomplished. I agree with Senior Brother Sima's plan. This department can start to increase fiscal revenue from these two aspects."

Seeing that both of them agreed, Tang Ning couldn't say anything more. The three of them discussed the specific details of expanding trade routes and acquiring the training resources of various sects for a while. It wasn't until the sky turned white that they came up with a preliminary plan.

More than ten days later, in the alliance meeting hall, when Sima Nianzu conveyed the news about the sect’s cutting of funds and job-related salary subsidies, everyone looked a little ugly. Sima Nianzu then announced the decision to control the recruitment of monks by each team. .

At night, in front of Tangning's Cave Mansion, a Xuanling Ship slowly approached. Huge stone boxes were moved from the ship to the mansion. This year's alliance budget was 360,000 spirit stones, half of which was retained, and the rest was distributed to each brigade. funding.

The 180,000 high-grade spiritual stones plus the additional 80,000 spiritual stones earned by the alliance resulted in a total of 260,000 high-grade spiritual stones, of which Tangning received 56,000 high-grade spiritual stones.

It is more than twice his salary income. His current salary is 20,000 high-grade spiritual stones, plus job allowance, it is 22,500 high-grade spiritual stones.

The funding ratio of the alliance is distributed according to the formula of 2332, that is, the chief officer gets 20%, and the supervisor and deputy captain each get 15%. In this way, the three main managers get 50%.

Of the remaining 50%, 30% is given to other managers.

Originally, the stewards in charge of finance and personnel had to get 10% of the funds each, because they had no jurisdiction, and their sources of income came from the alliance funds. Other stewards, who also served as captains of each brigade, could draw from the funds of each brigade and the additional industries of each brigade. They get funds from the winning points, so they only get a token amount from the alliance.

However, since Tang Ning and Qin Jin were responsible for both finance and personnel management, the two percent was divided between Sima Nianzu, Tang Ning, and Qin Jin.

In the end, 20% of the remaining amount was left for the alliance funds, 10% was left for the direct brigade because they had no additional industrial income, and the other 10% was left for the disciples of the Guard Hall, Affairs Hall, Finance Hall, etc.

Proportionally, Tangning could have received 40,000 high-grade spiritual stones. Including the financial and personnel director's share, Tangning received a total of 56,000 spiritual stones.

This is still under the condition that the funds are halved. You can imagine how much the senior leaders of the alliance received before. In the sect, the higher the position, the less important the salary becomes.

It relies more on private income, so everyone works hard to get in, often fighting for a position of real power and blood.

Tang Ning's annual salary of 20,000 high-grade spiritual stones. If she were not the deputy captain of the alliance, she would not even be able to afford elixirs with her salary alone. One of the fifth-grade middle-grade elixirs corresponding to the mid-stage transformation of gods, Hunyu Dan. It requires one hundred and ten high-grade spiritual stones, and the price is still rising. It is estimated that it may not be long before it exceeds one hundred and twenty spiritual stones.

Because Qingzhou is in chaos, elixirs and herbs are scarce, and the cost of all elixirs is rising.

The higher the cultivation level, the more difficult it is to refine the elixir, and the cost rises linearly with the level of the elixir.

With his current income, he can only sustain the consumption of elixirs for him and Xiao Zhan. Although he seems to be majestic and majestic as the deputy captain of the alliance, in fact, he already owes a lot of debts outside.

If he hadn't made a huge profit during the election of the year before last and collected a lot of "voting fees" from his disciples, he would have borrowed money from outside to survive last year.

Mainly Xiao Zhan, this guy is really edible.

It is really not that easy to raise a warrior with the same level of cultivation. If he had not entered Taixuan Sect, he would not be able to raise Xiao Zhan at all.

…

The sun was shining, there were no clouds in the sky, and in front of the huge blue light curtain in the Xuanshu Mountains, a ray of light shot out. Tangning turned her hand over and handed the talisman inside.

After waiting for a long time, the light curtain dissolved into a gap, and several figures flashed out from inside. The leader, with gray hair on his temples and kind eyes, was Du Yuanhai, the headmaster of the Liuyun Sect. Behind him were two more people, both from the Liuyun Sect. of high-rise.

"Fellow Taoist Tang is here, I'm sorry for the delay in greeting you from afar." Du Yuanhai bowed his head.

Tang Ning returned the courtesy and said, "Master Du, you don't have to be polite."

"Fellow Taoist Tang, please."

A group of people filed into the inner room and took their seats in the main hall.

"Headmaster Du, I don't go to the Three Treasures Palace for anything. I'll tell you the truth. I came here to ask your sect for help on a small matter." After Tang Ning took his seat, he said straight to the point.

"Fellow Taoist Tang, please speak."

"It's like this. Our department has recently re-planned a trade route, which may involve your sect, so I would like to ask your sect to give us a favor."

Hearing this, Du Yuanhai and the two people below couldn't help but look at each other. Before he could speak, one of them took the lead and asked, "What do you mean by this, Fellow Taoist Tang? Please make it clear."

The person who spoke was Zhang Yang. Tangning knew that he was the master of Yuanyi Hall of Liuyun Sect, so she answered: "This department needs to borrow the trade route controlled by Guizong from Xuantangli Market to Huajianting for a period of one hundred years. Year, this department will pay your sect one thousand high-grade spiritual stones every year.”

"A thousand high-grade spiritual stones, fellow Taoist Tang, are you kidding me! The trade route from Xuantang City to Huajian Pavilion is one of the most prosperous routes in this city."

"So, your sect is unwilling to borrow from us."

Du Yuanhai said: "This matter is indeed difficult to obey. Please forgive me, fellow Taoist Tang."

"Well, since your sect is unwilling to lend us money, let's change our cooperation method! We will still pay your sect one thousand high-grade spiritual stones every year, and ask your sect to allow us to run this trade route. I don't know what you think. how?"

Zhang Yang said: "Please forgive me, Fellow Taoist Tang, your request is too demanding. Every family has always run a fixed trade route alone, and there is no mention of two companies running a trade route. If our sect agrees to Fellow Taoist, the rest will Several forces will definitely come to interfere, such as the Mirror Moon Sect, Jiang Family, etc. If everyone comes to run this trade route, it will be a mess. "

"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Zhang. If the Mirror Moon Sect and the Jiang family dare to cause trouble, our headquarters will definitely not sit idly by and watch. I can assure your sect that no other force will interfere with this trade route except our headquarters."

Zhang Yang still shook his head and said: "Fellow Taoist Tang, it's not that I want to refute your department's reputation. It's just that this matter has no precedent. Please forgive me for being unable to obey your order."

Tang Ning's face gradually turned cold: "There is no precedent? Before Guizong led his troops to attack the Tianniu Mountains, wasn't there no precedent? Fellow Daoist Zhang can't just allow the state officials to set fires and not allow the people to light lamps!"

"Fellow Taoist Tang, let us discuss this matter and give you an answer." Seeing that he looked unhappy, Du Yuanhai felt that the situation was too tense, so he hurriedly spoke up to smooth things over.
