Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Zhu Zhongwen paid special attention to Xu Qingwan, naturally because Tang Ning was his immediate boss and had a strong voice within Yuan Yidian.

The rest, including Yan Yuanjing and Chen Wenshu, although the people behind them have high positions and powerful positions, they do not have much say in the affairs of Yuan Yidian.

The three halls of Xuanmen each perform their own duties and have complete autonomy. Yuanyi Hall is in charge of finance, Qingxuan Hall is in charge of personnel, and Xuande Hall is in charge of punishment.

The three halls each handle their own affairs. Even the masters of Qingxuan Hall and Xuande Hall cannot interfere in the internal affairs of Yuanyi Hall. For the same reason, Yuanyi Hall cannot interfere in the government affairs of the other two halls.

Even if you are the head teacher, you need to discuss with the master of the three halls if you want to intervene in the affairs of the three halls.

The Palm Seal Department of the Three Halls is the most powerful department in the entire Xuanmen. It only has deacons and stewards, but no supervisory duties. The reason is very simple.

The Palm Seal Department is in charge of all affairs of the sect and is not a purely functional department, so there is no supervisory role.

Only departments with individual functions such as the Intelligence Section, the Secret Security Section, and the Inspection Section require supervision.

Xu Qingwan nodded and said hello, and the two of them left the hall and disappeared into light.

…………

Time flies, and a few months pass by in the blink of an eye. In the Xuanyun Peak Cave, Tang Ning and Xu Qingwan are sitting opposite each other, discussing the specific plan for the sect's financial reform, and making corrections one by one.

When it comes to the financial system of the entire sect, you must not be careless. You must pay attention to all aspects, and you cannot make a one-size-fits-all approach. Because the functions of departments are different, they cannot be generalized.

Can a small department of a dozen people be the same as a large department of a hundred people?

Another example is the Information Department and the Alchemy Department. Although the number of people is about the same, they are completely two systems and cannot be simply generalized.

Therefore, it is necessary to teach students in accordance with their aptitude and formulate funding reduction plans based on the specific conditions of each department.

After a long time, Tang Ning closed the file: "Tomorrow is the end of the year, and the sect has to hold a high-level meeting at the palace level. Palace Master Peng is not here, so I will represent Yuan Yidian to attend this meeting and inform them of this year's expenses and income, as well as next year's. financial budget.”

"This financial reform plan needs to be divided into more details. I leave these to you. Although I have been busy for several months, I still have to trouble you to give you some details. After the plan is completed, I have to hand it over to Palace Master Peng and the Headmaster. First Agree with them and gain their support.”

"Tomorrow, I will propose during the meeting that we set up an asset inventory team to thoroughly inventory the assets inside and outside the sect. Whether it was those that were in deficit or those that were corrupt, in short, all assets must be inventoried and re-registered."

"I think this shouldn't be a big problem. You will be responsible for the inventory work then! Confirm the assets first, and then implement financial restructuring measures."

Xu Qingwan said: "Inspection team? Do I need to make any preparations?"

"No need, I will ask a steward from each department under His Royal Highness Yuan Yi to assist you. You only need to carefully check the finances of each department and then register it."

"Okay, I understand."

"Go ahead!"

"Yes." Xu Qingwan responded, stood up and left.

"Oh, by the way, I heard that you left for a while last month and went to the intelligence station. Why?"

"It's nothing. That kid Zhirou is going to try to build a foundation. Junior Brother Wei sent someone to inform me, so I went over to take a look and handed her the prepared foundation building pills and other items."

"How was it? Was it successful?"

Xu Qingwan shook her head and said: "No, fortunately it was stopped in time and the injury was not serious."

Tangning was silent for a while, turned her left hand, counted out 20,000 spirit stones from the storage bag and handed it to her, saying, "When I transferred you to the sect, I ignored the feeling of separation between master and disciple. You can take these spirit stones." Let’s buy her some foundation-building pills, marrow-cleansing pills, and five-door cloud water formations in the future.”

Xu Qingwan said: "Thank you for your kindness, no need, I will prepare these things for her."

"Take it! You have worked hard these days in charge of this financial reform plan. I know your salary. It is not even enough to spend on elixirs! This spiritual stone is regarded as my elder, my feelings for her, a junior. , I wish her success in building the foundation next time.”

Xu Qingwan hesitated for a while, took the spirit stone, thanked her, and withdrew.

………………

One day flies by in a blink of an eye, and the next day is December 30th, New Year's Eve. In the secular world, it is an important festival for family reunion. Naturally, there are no such etiquettes in the spiritual world.

However, at the end of each year, the sect will hold a palace-level meeting to report and summarize the situation of each hall and courtyard for the year. Only the masters of the three halls, the masters of the three courtyards, and the headmaster are eligible to participate in this meeting.

Because Peng Wanli was on the front line, Tang Ning represented Yuan Yidian in this discussion.

Half an hour before Chenshi, he arrived at the Qianxing Mountain Conference Hall, but there was no one inside.

Tang Ning sat down at the last seat on the left and waited for about a quarter of an hour. Zhuang Xingqian and Yin Qingyuan came to the hall one after another. The three of them nodded and chatted for a few words after taking their seats. Not long after, Shi Mingsui and Tong Quan'an also came.

Another quarter of an hour later, Luo Qingshui came in from the outside, went to the main seat and sat down, and said: "Junior brothers are all here, another year has passed, and this year-end discussion, each hall and house should report on their respective situations! Yin Qingyuan, let’s start with your secret academy!”

"Yes." Yin Qingyuan responded: "This year, our academy has lost thirty-two disciples, including three foundation-building monks. There are currently 316 disciples and thirty foundation-building monks. This academy has received a total of funds. 800,000 spirit stones and 450,000 foundation disciple salary, totaling 1.25 million."

After he finished speaking, Zhuang Xingqian continued: "This academy has suffered casualties of thirteen disciples, including one foundation-building monk. There are currently 271 disciples and 25 foundation-building monks. This academy has received a total of one fund. 1.25 million, the foundation disciple salary is 360,000, totaling 1.5 million spirit stones."

"In addition, this court has handed over 30,000 first-level elixirs and 2,000 second-level elixirs. Three hundred first-level magic weapons and thirty second-level magic weapons. Two hundred sets of first-level formation flags and second-level formation flags. Ten sets. Three thousand first-level talismans and two hundred second-level talismans."

"The total value of the above is no less than two million spiritual stones."

Luo Qingshui nodded, looked at Tang Ning and said, "Tell me about your Yuan Yidian's financial situation in recent years!"

Cheng Shuimin of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was stationed at Yingxia Mountain, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had no other affairs, so the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was absent from the meeting. The Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Academy of Secret Secrets reported the casualties and financial situation in recent years, and it was Yuan Yidian's turn.

"Yes." Tang Ning turned her left hand and took out a file and said, "I only came to Yuanyi Palace this year to take up the post. I didn't know much about the situation in Yuanyi Palace before. This file was given to me by Palace Master Peng."

"This year, a total of 10.1 million spiritual stones will be spent."

"Including the funds for the Ministry of Internal Affairs, 1.25 million, and the salary for foundation disciples, 360,000, for a total of 1.5 million."

"The budget for the Secret Academy is 800,000 yuan, and the foundation disciples' salary is 450,000 yuan, totaling 1.25 million yuan."

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has a fund of 700,000 yuan, and the foundation disciples have a salary of 300,000 yuan, a total of 1 million yuan. "

"Qingxuan Hall's funding is 800,000 yuan, and the foundation disciple's salary is 400,000 yuan, totaling 1.2 million yuan."

"The funding for Xuande Hall is 800,000 yuan, and the salary for foundation disciples is 450,000 yuan, totaling 1.2 million yuan."

"Yuan Yidian's budget is 900,000 yuan, and the foundation disciple's salary is 400,000 yuan, totaling 1.3 million yuan."

"There is also a total salary of 2.3 million for the sect's Jindan monks, a total of 10.1 million."

"A total of 6.7 million spiritual stones have been earned, of which two spiritual mines have earned 800,000 spiritual stones."

"Shijiafang City Shop has two million spirit stones."

"The income from its gambling house is about 300,000 yuan."

"The gambling houses, lofts, and shops that the sect is involved in cost about half a million yuan."

"The tax revenue of a practicing family averages 800,000 yuan per year."

"The average income from foreign trade is 800,000 yuan."

"The average income of the Xuanyue Mountain Spirit Mine is one million."

"A total of 8.7 million."

After Tang Ning finished speaking, Shi Mingsui and Tong Quan'an reported on the statistics of Qingxuan Hall and Xuande Hall.

Luo Qingshui said: "Every junior brother has seen that we are somewhat overwhelmed in terms of casualties and finances. In this year alone, we have lost seventy or eighty disciples, and our blood replenishment rate cannot keep up with our consumption. ”

"The same goes for finances. Our annual income is less than 7 million spirit stones, but our expenditures reach 10 million."

"If this continues, we may be running out of ammunition and food, and we must take measures to change the status quo."

"Junior Brother Shi, what do you think?"

Shi Mingsui said: "Now that the Demon Sect is gaining momentum and the two armies are facing each other, casualties are inevitable. However, the total number of Demon Sect members far exceeds that of our sect, especially the number of low-level disciples, which is almost several times that of us. Although they are a group of A ragtag group of people, but they are also the cornerstone of a sect.”

"In recent years, we have gradually relaxed the restrictions on recruiting disciples. However, with the war, we still cannot withstand such consumption. To stop this momentum, we need to start from two aspects."

"First, organize elite teams above the foundation level to harass the enemy. We must take advantage of our elite soldiers to avoid falling into the Demon Sect's human sea tactics, especially to avoid chaotic battles among low-level disciples."

"Second, the restrictions on recruiting disciples should be relaxed a little wider, and the steps should be taken a little wider. A reserve team can be established. All disciples who have spiritual roots and have not transformed into mortals should be placed in the reserve team and taught how to practice. And Remove the restriction on recruiting apprentices every ten years.”

"Anyone who meets the conditions can directly enter the mountain gate and transform into the mortal world anytime, anywhere."

"In addition, we can also recruit some casual cultivators who are related to us. For example, the casual cultivators recruited by local leaders are originally working for us. We can simply give them a status and let them directly join the camp against the Demon Sect."

"There are also families that have good relations with us. We can also recruit their children appropriately to fight against the Demon Sect in the camp."
