Chronicles of Celestial Origins

"Yes." Tang Ning responded: "Let me talk about the first article of the lawsuit in the file first. On August 15th, during the headquarters' meeting, Cheng Wenxuan, captain of the second team of the headquarters' science action team, applied for foundation construction preparations. Senior Brother Lu Guang proposed to let him Disciple Jiang Yitian of the second team temporarily takes over his duties."

"Na Jiang can only reach the eighth level of Qi refining in one day, so how can he hold the position of captain?"

"Therefore, I raised objections and asked Ma Lian, a disciple of the second team, to temporarily take over the position. Ma Lian is older than Jiang Yitian and has a higher level of cultivation than him. He is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate to serve as captain."

"Let's talk about the second item. On September 30th, during the ministry meeting, the first team of disciples went out to perform tasks in the sect and broke a magic weapon. Senior Brother Lu gave him a thousand spiritual stones as a reward."

"The disciples have made it very clear in the regulations for implementing the financial reform of the department. All damage and profits to the disciples who go out to perform tasks belong to themselves. If this case were to happen, other disciples would also lose their magic weapons when performing tasks. Isn't it right? Does the ministry have to pay the compensation?”

"Since the sect's funding has been reduced, the department's finances have been stretched thin. There are so many spiritual stones to pay for it, so I took back the thousand spiritual stones."

"Article 3: On October 15th, during the ministry meeting, Yu Yiming, the head of the Jiangdong Eastern Intelligence Station, returned to the clan in old age. Senior Brother Lu wanted to let Xun Wen, a disciple of the fifth team, take over his post as chief, but he was not more than seven years old. Level of cultivation.”

"The intelligence station has the principle of giving priority to internal promotions. Jiang Chang, a disciple of the Jiangdong Eastern Intelligence Station, has been at the intelligence station for many years and is familiar with the affairs. His cultivation has also reached the late stage of Qi refining. He should be promoted to the chief officer. Therefore, the disciple rejected Senior Brother Lu's proposal. ”

"Article 4: On November 30th, disciple Huang Yu of the South China Intelligence Station died. Senior Brother Lu proposed to arrange the funeral arrangements and give two thousand spiritual stones. However, the disciple's investigation revealed that he did not have a wife, only a cousin who was a casual cultivator. How can someone who is not from our sect receive these spiritual stones? So the disciple rejected this order."

"Article 5: This year, on the fourth day of January, the disciples sent people to seize the inherent assets of the Ministry's external attics, gambling houses, and shops. These are originally the Ministry's finances and should be returned to the Ministry, not private ownership."

"On July 15th of last year, the disciple passed an internal resolution of the department, and the disciple was in charge of the distribution of the department's finances. Isn't it natural for the disciple to return to the department?"

"The above five items are all the charges that Senior Brother Lu Guang accuses the disciples of winning people's hearts, being good at imposing authority, being arrogant and domineering, and disobeying orders. The disciples have stated them clearly one by one. I hope that all the masters and uncles will understand clearly."

Luo Qingshui said: "How long have you been the inspector of the Intelligence Section?"

Tang Ning said, "It's been sixteen years now!"

"Have you often had conflicts over the years?"

Tang Ning said: "This disciple has never had any conflicts with Senior Brother Lu Guang before, but in recent years, the department's funding has been unsustainable, so it has begun to reduce the rewards and funds for department disciples, and has even resulted in deficits and arrears of spiritual stones to department disciples. "

"As a result, disciples under the Ministry of Education complained that they often performed meritoriously but did not contribute much when performing tasks. In recent years, the disciples of the Ministry of Education have been attending fewer and fewer tasks, and the number of tasks they completed was even less. In the year before last alone, the total number of disciples of the Ministry of Education was on duty. Of the thirty-five missions, only twelve were delivered successfully.”

"These are all well-documented. They can be found at a glance in the archives of the Secret Security Branch."

"The reason for this situation is that the subordinate disciples are very resentful and unwilling to contribute. This has seriously affected the normal operation and efficiency of the department."

"In July last year, the department's funds were exhausted, and the rewards and funds could only be distributed in the form of IOUs. Seeing that the financial hole was getting bigger and bigger, I proposed a financial reform plan for the department, and won the support of the majority of people in the department. support."

"Senior Brother Lu Guang sued the disciple because this plan harmed his vital interests, so he was at odds with the disciple."

Luo Qingshui said: "So, you believe that all this is Lu Guang's fault, and you are not responsible, right?"

Tang Ning said: "Disciples don't think who is right or wrong. Everything is done according to the sect's laws. The sect has given the disciples rights and responsibilities, and the disciples just strictly implement them. Everything the disciples do complies with the sect's laws and does not exceed the rules." The right place.”

Luo Qingshui said: "There is a personal grudge between you and Lu Guang. Are you doing all this deliberately against Lu Guang? Do you have any selfish motives?"

Tang Ning said: "This disciple has absolutely no intention of doing this. When the sect was cutting funding for departments, the Intelligence Department had the largest reduction. Therefore, the disciple, together with Lu Guang, went to find several junior uncles to intercede and explain the department's difficulties. The senior uncles here must be aware of it. "

"At the beginning, we were confidant with him, and what we did together was a public matter. Today we parted ways, and what we did was also a matter of public affairs. There is absolutely no selfish intention. Please be aware of this."

Peng Wanli said: "You said you offended Lu Guang because of the implementation of the financial reform of the ministry. Please tell me about the specific plan."

"This..." Tangning was hesitant. Although this was an open secret, it was difficult to state it openly. Especially on this occasion, these dark and private affairs would be hard to open her mouth when brought to the stage.

Peng Wanli smiled slightly: "Isn't it just the three-three-two-two distribution system? You didn't invent it, and it's not unique to your Intelligence Department. There's nothing I can't say. None of the people here are starting from the department one step at a time. You are walking forward, what else do you want to hide?"

"Yes." Tang Ning responded: "You masters and uncles are aware of everything. Your sage wisdom shines alone, so disciples boldly express their disdain."

"Based on our sect's salary standards, even departmental deacons can only receive a salary of six thousand spirit stones a month. For monks in the late stage of foundation establishment, six thousand spirit stones are only enough to pay for elixirs."

"There are so many fellow disciples who are not deacons. If we only take the sect salary, I am afraid that the cost of the elixirs will not be enough."

"Practitioners are naturally based on cultivation. If they don't even have enough money for elixirs, how can they be loyal?"

"So I believe that three, three, two, two has some legitimacy."

"But that was in the past, when the sect was financially rich, and three, three, two, and two could satisfy everyone's interests. At that time, the Intelligence Department's annual funding was even as high as 250,000 spirit stones, which was naturally enough to cover expenses."

"But now the Demon Sect is plundering and occupying half of the Chu land. There have been wars in successive years, and the sect's financial income has been greatly reduced. The Intelligence Department now only has one hundred thousand spiritual stones in funding every year. The three-three-two-two system is obviously out of date."

"According to the distribution system of 30% deacons, 20% supervisors, 20% stewards, and 30% disciples, out of 100,000 spirit stones, only 30,000 can be used for ministry affairs, of which 20,000 spirit stones will be used as salaries for subordinate disciples."

"Only 10,000 spirit stones are used for the rewards, operational funds and expenses of the disciples of the department."

"According to the previous regulations of the department, the disciples' expenses for one operation are about one thousand spirit stones, and the department manager's reward is two thousand spirit stones for one mission. In addition to the rewards from the intelligence stations in various places, it is difficult for a clever woman to make a living without rice."

"Although Senior Brother Lu Guang has reduced the funds and rewards for the disciples below, it is still far from enough."

"The deficit is getting bigger and bigger, and the hole is getting bigger and bigger."

"The disciple then launched a new funding plan, dividing the one hundred thousand spirit stones into two parts, and the fifty thousand spirit stones were given to Junior Brother Wei Xian, who is in charge of the department's finances, to be used for the rewards and funds of the department's disciples, to ensure the department's normal operation and efficiency.”

"The other 50,000 spirit stones will be taken over by the disciples and distributed in a four-three-three way. The stewards will get 40%, and the supervisors and deacons will get 30%."

"The disciples have also set corresponding standards for the operational expenses of subordinate disciples and the rewards of intelligence stations."

"In order to avoid insufficient use of the 50,000 spirit stones, the disciple has decided to distribute the spirit stones to the deacons, supervisors and managers at the end of the year. Everything should be done first to ensure the normal operation of the department."

"In addition, I will also send people to collect and take over the assets of the department outside the sect one by one, and distribute them in a unified manner."

"Senior Brother Lu Guang is very dissatisfied with this. He has always had the lion's share of the spiritual stone before, and only the stewards in charge of the specific affairs of the department and the finances got a share."

"Because of this matter, he and I completely fell out. This is also the reason why he did not come to participate in the discussions a few days ago."

Peng Wanli asked: "How long have you been implementing this plan?"

Tang Ning said, "It's been half a year."

"Is it effective?"

"The effect is still obvious. On the one hand, the department's shortfall has been made up, and funds and rewards are no longer in arrears."

"Both, the previous reward system has been restored. The disciples' resentment has gradually subsided and they no longer complain about the sect."

"For the three, I have clarified the additional reward system. If you complete the task, you will be rewarded with three hundred spiritual stones. If you do not complete the task, there will be no reward. And if you complete the task three times in a row, you will be rewarded with an additional five hundred spiritual stones."

"Due to this regulation, in the past six months, students from the Intelligence Section have been on duty to perform a total of 21 missions and successfully completed 15 missions."

"These are well documented in the Secret Security Branch archives."

Luo Qingshui said: "Junior brothers, do you have anything else to ask?"

Everyone was speechless.

"Tangning, you go first!"

"Yes." Tangning responded.

Luo Qingshui said: "How do you fellow juniors think this matter should be handled?"

Peng Wanli said: "When things have reached this point, it would be a fool's errand to think of the two of them coexisting peacefully. The only option is to transfer them away."

"Currently, the sect's funds have been reduced, and many departments are experiencing a shortage of spiritual stones. The plan proposed by Tang Ning is a way to solve the problem. It can be vigorously promoted, but there will be great resistance. This can be regarded as a model for the sect."

"I propose that Tang Ning serve as the deacon of the Intelligence Section, and Lu Guang appoint someone else."

"I agree with Junior Brother Peng's proposal." Luo Qingshui said when he saw that Peng Wanli was the first to propose this method.

"I agree." Tong Quan'an also said immediately.

"I agree." Yin Qingyuan also followed.

Four of the seven people had already made their stance clear. Luo Qingshui did not ask Shi Mingsui, Cheng Shuimin and Jiang Ming about their attitudes, but directly said: "In that case, Tang Ning will serve as the deacon of the Intelligence Section. Where should Lu Guang be placed?" Junior brother, if you, the head disciple of Qingxuan Palace, are transferred, do you have any suitable positions?"
