Chronicles of Celestial Origins
Chapter 517 Secular Affairs
Tang Ning left the alchemy room and fled all the way back to the Zhongzhi Peak Cave Mansion. From a distance, she saw a tall man standing outside the mansion.
As he disappeared from the light, the man turned around and bowed, saying, "Disciple pays homage to Master."
This person is none other than Xu Qiyuan, who came from the intelligence station.
"Why are you here? How long have you been waiting?"
"This disciple just returned to the sect yesterday evening. No one responded to his message. I miss my uncle or he has something to do, so I am waiting here."
Tang Ning nodded and thought to herself that she should really find someone to guard the cave. Now that she was promoted to deacon, she had to deal with more sect affairs. During this period, Zhao Liheng and Xu Yuan came to find her many times, but they didn't. Encounter: "Come in!"
"yes."
The two of them entered the house one after another. Tangning sat cross-legged on the futon and said, "Why are you here?"
"Disciple congratulates uncle for being promoted to deacon of our headquarters. There is also a letter that my aunt ordered the disciple to bring to uncle." Xu Qiyuan turned over with his left hand, took out the letter and handed it to him with both hands.
Tang Ning took the letter, opened it and took a look, but saw that it said: I am very happy to hear that the Tang Immortal Envoy has been promoted to the position of deacon. With your reputation for virtue and conduct, your position as deacon is well deserved. I feel happy in body and mind, so I boldly request something. Today, the intelligence station's funds have been reduced, and the expenditure of spiritual stones cannot make ends meet. I can only rely on subsidies from the Shangzong. I hope that the Tang Immortal Envoy will be kind and generous. I am very grateful.
Tang Ning knew in her heart that Du Yuankai must have ordered her to write this. Although she was the financial manager of the intelligence station, the financial subsidies had nothing to do with her. To put it bluntly, she was an outsider and was not qualified to comment on the sect's affairs. Making irresponsible remarks about funding matters.
Du Yuankai must have been worried about the funding of the information station, so he asked her to intercede.
Although the sect's funding has been reduced, it has not completely stopped subsidizing the intelligence station's spiritual stones. Approximately every seven or eight years, a subsidy of spiritual stones will be approved.
The higher-ups also know that if they are not approved even once, the operation of the intelligence station will indeed be unsustainable.
And the affairs of the intelligence station are very important and cannot be completely stopped.
Tang Ning put the letter aside and said, "Go back and tell fellow Taoist Xu that I will try my best to apply for funding subsidies for the intelligence station."
"Yes, disciple, resign." Xu Qiyuan said.
"Wait a minute."
"Uncle Master, do you have any other instructions?"
"After the Zhu family rebelled and returned to the Demon Sect, it seems that I haven't heard from them for a long time. Tell Senior Brother Du and ask him to try to find out about the Zhu family."
"yes."
………………………
Another half month passed. On this day, Tang Ning was in the alchemy room, concentrating on refining the elixir. There was a knock on the door outside the house.
He frowned and ignored it, continuing to refine the elixir. After about a stick of incense, a vitality elixir spit out from the mouth of the Dan Cauldron. Tang Ning put the elixir in the wooden box into the bottle and opened the stone door.
Standing outside was a fair-faced man, Li Xuan, who was directly affiliated with the Secret Academy. He bowed his head and said, "Senior Brother Tang, I'm sorry to bother you. Uncle Yin invites you to go to his cave to discuss matters."
"I don't know why?"
"The new inspector of the Intelligence Section has taken office and is visiting Uncle Yin."
Tangning nodded: "Let's go!"
The two of them came out of the alchemy room, transformed into escaping light, and not long after, they arrived at Yin Qingyuan's cave.
………………
In the room, Yin Qingyuan is sitting on the main seat, and there is another person below him. He has a lion's nose, a wide mouth, big arms and a round waist, and slightly white temples.
It was Xu Wenze, the manager of the Supervision Department. The two had met once in the meeting hall of the Supervision Department.
"Disciple pays homage to Master Yin." Tang Ning stepped forward and saluted.
"Here you come, take a seat! This is the new inspector Xu Wenze sent to your department by the inspector general. You must know him!" Yin Qingyuan said.
Tang Ning took her seat as she was told and said with a smile: "Currently, the department is seriously short of manpower. I have three jobs in one person. I have long been waiting for the sect to appoint an inspector! Junior Brother Xu came just in time, and I can finally relieve myself of the burden. ”
Xu Wenze said: "I'm new here and I'm not very familiar with the department's affairs. I hope Senior Brother Tang can give you some advice."
Yin Qingyuan said: "You will discuss the affairs of the Intelligence Department later. If you really can't solve it, you can tell me and don't make the city full of trouble. This will have a bad impact."
"Yes." The two responded.
Tang Ning knew that this was Yin Qingyuan's warning to him not to behave like Lu Guang, who was incompatible with water and fire.
"I still have things to deal with. You guys sit here and chat for a while. Wen Ze, you are about to take office. If you have anything you don't understand about the Intelligence Department, please ask Tang Ning for advice." Yin Qingyuan stood up and left the room.
The two stood up to see each other off, and then sat down after he left.
Xu Wenze said: "I heard that Senior Brother Tang has made a series of financial reform plans in the department. I don't know what they are specifically?"
"Mainly, some changes have been made on the basis of the original three-three-two system. The headquarters has one hundred thousand spirit stones every year, and uses fifty thousand as disciple funds and rewards. The other fifty thousand adopts the four-three-three system, that is, all stewards receive four If successful, the deacons will get 30%, and the supervisors will get 30%." Some assets outside the sect will also be redistributed, in the same four-three-three way. "
"So what about the disciples' funding for spiritual stones?"
The two chatted for about an hour. Xu Wenze asked many detailed questions, and Tangning answered them one by one. It was not until Yin Qingyuan came back that the three of them chatted for a while before leaving the cave.
………………
The days were uneventful, and half a year passed in a flash.
After Xu Wenze came to the Intelligence Department, he was responsible for the specific affairs of the action team. The two got along well with each other. He behaved quite calmly and did not make any moves to compete for power.
On this day, Tang Ning was sitting cross-legged in the cave, and there was a knock on the door outside.
"Come in."
A man with thick eyebrows and big eyes pushed open the door, bowed and saluted: "Uncle, Master Du Yuankai is outside asking to see you."
This person is Li Muhua, a disciple of the Aircraft Support Team. His cultivation level is only at the fifth level of Qi Refining. Tang Ning was promoted to deacon, and his mundane duties became more numerous. Sometimes he was not in the cave, or he was giving orders to people below to do things. He had to have a housekeeper to run errands, so I went to the Chance Team to ask for someone.
Li Muhua was recruited from the mountain sect by Daoding twelve years ago in 764. He was a descendant of the Li family in Jiangdong. After his transformation, he was assigned to the Intelligence Department.
When Tang Ning went to the aircraft rescue team to select a candidate, she saw that he had good spiritual qualifications and a clear background, so he recruited him to do errands for her.
"Invite him!"
"Yes." Li Muhua retreated in response, exited the cave, and saluted Du Yuankai: "Uncle Du, Uncle Tang, please come in."
Du Yuankai came to the room and said, "Senior Brother Tang, it's been a long time."
He had always called Tang Ning his junior brother, but one time and another, Tang Ning was promoted to deacon, his cultivation level was higher than his own, and she had requests from him, so he changed his title.
"Senior Brother Du is here, please take a seat! Let's just call him as before! Your sudden words of "Senior Brother" make me a little uncomfortable, as if I am getting old." Tang Ning said with a smile.
Du Yuankai took his seat as he was told: "The past was before, and the present is now. Now Senior Brother Tang is already the deacon of the department. If I call him the same way as before, others will inevitably say that I am relying on my elders, which will appear disrespectful."
"There are no outsiders here. Senior Brother Du doesn't have to be so polite. Senior Brother Du is here to receive subsidies from the Intelligence Department!"
Du Yuankai nodded and said: "Yes, after receiving the letter from Zongmen Xuan Ying and knowing that Zongmen approved the release of the subsidy funds for the station, I rushed here without stopping. Thank you Senior Brother Tang for your help."
Tang Ning turned her hand, took out a storage bag and a file and handed it to him, "I know that Senior Brother Du is coming, so I'm ready."
Du Yuankai took the storage bag and signed and pledged the file: "In addition to receiving the subsidy, I also want to report to Senior Brother Tang on the current situation of the Zhu family."
"What happened to the two chess pieces we ambush at the Zhu family? I heard that Ding Jianyang joined the Youmei Sect, right?"
Du Yuankai said: "After receiving the message from Xu Qiyuan, I immediately contacted them. Zhu Maoqing is stuck in the bottleneck of the ninth level of Qi refining. There has been no movement for so many years."
"As for Ding Jianyang! I also met with him. After the Zhu family turned to the Demon Sect, in order to improve their relationship with the Youmei Sect, some of their children directly joined their sect, including Ding Jianyang."
"He was successfully promoted to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment five years ago and is now responsible for recruitment and inspection within the South China Demon Sect's sphere of influence."
"He has become quite close to Zhu Bochong's younger brother Zhu Zhongwen over the years, and the Zhu family values him more than before. He is now the bridge between the Zhu family and the Youmei Sect. Even Zhu Bochong occasionally talks to him."
Tang Ning nodded and said: "Ding Jianyang is our most senior spy within the Cultivation Family. Now he has joined the Youmei Sect. This person may be of great use in the future. He is very ambitious, so you need to be careful and don't let the horse run away." Off the reins. Did he ask for anything?"
Du Yuankai said: "After he heard that you were promoted to deacon, he asked me to send a message to congratulate you and said that he would look for you when needed."
"What difficulties are there at the intelligence station?"
"Since the funding has been reduced, the number of Lingshi subsidies allocated has become less and less. In the past ten years, it has only been allocated once. Without funds, many lurking and rebellion plans are unsustainable."
"There is no way around funding. I don't have the final say, but I will try my best to fight for you."
"One more thing, I don't have long to live, so it's time for the department to consider a replacement."
"There is no suitable person yet. When someone is found, I will arrange it."
The two chatted for a long time before Du Yuankai said goodbye and left.
Not long after, there was a knock on the door again. Li Muhua pushed the door open and presented a storage bag: "Uncle Master, Uncle Du just gave this to me and asked me to hand it over to you."
Tangning took it and opened it. There were twenty-five middle-grade spiritual stones inside.
