Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Hearing what he said, Tang Ning was slightly shocked. No matter how powerful the Sima clan was, they were just local tycoons. How could the influence of the Taixuan Sect take them seriously?

"I beg Senior Brother Xu to give me some advice. Is this Sima clan really that powerful? With the influence of the sect, we don't dare to provoke him easily?"

Xu Mengyuan drank a glass by himself, put down the glass, and looked at him with a half-smile: "The sect? Can you and I represent the sect? Can the tutor represent the sect? Or can the office in Yuanxian County represent the sect? Door?"

"This... of course not, but since we are the sect's office in Qingzhou, we are responsible for handling local affairs. We can also represent the sect to a certain extent!"

Xu Mengyuan smiled and said: "How much is a certain level? Can it reach the level of confronting the Sima clan? Junior Brother Tang, with all due respect, you think of things too simply."

"Perhaps when you were in the Qinghai Sect, you could rub the so-called cultivating families on those islands at will, but I have to remind you not to bring this bad habit here, otherwise no one can protect you if something goes wrong. "

"Please give me some advice from Senior Brother Xu."

Xu Mengyuan said: "Let me put it this way! The islands in Qinghai are isolated islands. Those cultivating families have not formed a large interest group. They all develop in their own territories and have no interaction with each other."

"Rather than saying that they are a family of cultivators, they are more like a group of powerful thieves who each occupy their own territory. If we compare the local Xuanmen to the government, when the power of the government as a whole crushes the thieves, they will naturally be able to pinch them wantonly. ”

"The situation in the interior is different. These cultivating families have existed for a long time and have deep-rooted influence. They have formed a huge community of interests and become a powerful force."

"The forces of all parties are intertwined and intertwined, and even a single move can affect the whole body. The connection between Taoism and aristocratic families in various places is very deep."

"Take our sect as an example. Many of the disciples who hold great power and are in charge of key centers are descendants of these practicing families. In this case, we can no longer treat them as separate entities. It can be said that they themselves are us. part of the composition.”

"As long as they don't violate the big taboo of joining the Demon Clan and the Demon Sect, it's impossible for the sect to take action against them."

"The Sima family has been dominant in Yuanxian County for a long time, and its influence is no longer limited to Yuanxian County. In the Donglai County office, there are children from their family who are in charge of power."

"In addition, they have maintained good relations with other powerful cultivating families through many ways such as marriage and interest bundling. These cultivating families each have their own network of relationships. They huddle together to form a huge network that connects the entire Donglai County package is in."

"Let me give you a simple analogy. If we had a conflict with the Sima clan and killed several of their subordinate monks, what would they do? Of course they would not force us to take their lives."

"The first step is to submit a petition to the Yuanxian County Office, and then use the upper-level connections of the sect to arrest and convict him."

"They don't even need to do it themselves to kill someone with a borrowed knife. In the same way, if you harm their interests, they can use the same method to deal with you. You know, within our sect, the power of the family is very powerful."

"If the formal channels cannot be used, they will use other means. Every year, there are countless Taoist disciples of various sects who do not see people alive or dead."

"You should understand now!"

Tangning nodded slowly: "According to this, these aristocratic families are indeed very powerful."

Xu Mengyuan said: "Strong and weak are related. For us, they are very powerful and cannot be provoked by us. But in the eyes of the senior monks of the sect, the mere Sima clan is not worth mentioning at all. The key lies in each other's Identity and status.”

"As you just said, we do represent our sect to a certain extent, but the weight we represent is simply not enough to compete with the Sima clan."

"If they are the senior officials of Donglai County Office or Qingzhou Office, they also represent the sect to a certain extent, but the weight they can represent is completely different from us."

"They have stronger support behind them, and Sima's network is not worth mentioning in front of them."

Tang Ning said, "Listening to your words is worth ten years of reading. Thank you, Senior Brother Xu, for your advice."

Xu Mengyuan smiled and said: "Junior brother Tang is serious. I won't say these things, and you will know about them in the future. What I just said is just to clearly tell you how complicated the situation in this place is, but you don't need to worry. As a disciple of this sect, I dare not say anything else, but I can at least guarantee that no one will dare to attack you openly. "

"According to what Senior Brother Xu said, this Sima family has a strong influence in Yuanxian County, but I think this Sima Ang was very polite to you just now. I wonder why?"

Xu Mengyuan said: "Businessmen! They are all-rounded and need to handle all aspects of interpersonal relationships. In addition, we also have some business dealings with them. What does a jar of spiritual wine, two spiritual meals, and two ferry tickets count? Then? The reporter said that we cannot represent the sect, how can he, Sima Ang, represent the Sima family? "

"The Cultivation Family is indeed very powerful, but like us, they are not monolithic. In fact, once any organization becomes strong, it is impossible for the top management to be united and monolithic. Because everyone has different thoughts, divisions and struggles for power are inevitable. ”

"This Property Management Pavilion is just an ordinary property owned by the Sima family. We are disciples at the bottom of the sect, and he, Sima Ang, is also an insignificant role in the Sima family. We all have similar status, so we are more polite."

"Actually, it's not just us who are so polite. There are more than a dozen offices in Xuantang City, including the Jingyue Sect's office in Xuantang City, the Xingyue Sect's office in Xuantang City, and the Canglang Sect's office in Xuantang City. Xuantang City office, as well as the Jiang family, Liu family, etc..."

"Don't look at this small Xuantang City. It is a small sparrow, but it has all the internal organs and all the forces are gathered together."

Tang Ning said: "By the way, Senior Brother Xu, I wonder how many industrial matters our headquarters has to deal with in Xuantang City?"

"Xuantang City has a radius of three million miles, and there are thirty pavilion cities under it. Almost every pavilion city has our direct resource jurisdiction. In total, there are nearly 150,000 miles of various types of resource jurisdiction. our."

Tang Ning mused: "Three million miles away, we only occupy 150,000 square meters. That's not a lot!"

Xu Mengyuan said, "There is nothing we can do. Qingzhou doesn't belong to our family. Everyone has to eat a piece of meat. If everyone shares a little, there will naturally be less meat. If you want to eat a big portion, they won't do it! A city has a radius of fifteen miles. There really isn’t much land, it’s only the size of a Class C Taoist Gate.”

"But Qingzhou has a total of 648 cities. A small amount adds up to a large amount. Calculating this, our direct jurisdiction in Qingzhou is no less than hundreds of millions of miles in radius."

Tang Ning asked: "Beyond us in Xuantang City, how much territory does other forces occupy?"

Xu Mengyuan said: "In the entire world, wherever the Xuanmen rule, from top to bottom, all the resources in the jurisdiction of the Xuanmen at all levels are allocated in a semi-proportional manner."

"Take Xuantang City as an example. There are five sects that are eligible to participate in the division of resources here."

"The first one is naturally our sect. Qingzhou and Yanzhou are the jurisdictions under our control. We have half of the resource areas of all the cities under their control."

"After the great changes in Yanzhou, various forces poured in and the princes were divided. Our sect lost its actual right to rule. Let's not care about it for the moment."

"Just talking about the land of Qingzhou, there are a total of 649 cities. Each city has thirty pavilions. Each pavilion has a radius of 100,000 miles. We take half of the resources of the territory under our jurisdiction, that is, we have in each pavilion. The city occupies a resource area of ​​​​five thousand miles."

"The second is the Mirror Moon Sect. As the top Taoist sect in Donglai County, they can be regarded as the real princes of Qingzhou. They also take half of the resources to govern all the Tingcheng in Donglai County. That is, they have jurisdiction over each Tingcheng. They all occupy a resource area of ​​5,000 miles.”

"The third is the Xingyue Sect. As one of the three major Class-A Taoist sects in Donglai County, it has nine counties under its jurisdiction. It occupies three counties. It occupies half of all the pavilions and cities in these three counties. Resource jurisdiction. Yuanxian County is within its jurisdiction.”

"The fourth is Canglang Sect. As one of the three major second-level Taoist sects in Yuanxian County, it has twelve cities under its jurisdiction. It occupies four cities. In these four cities, it occupies half of the resource area. Xuantang City is within its sphere of influence.”

"The fifth is the three major C-level Taoist sects in Xuantang City. Xuantang City has thirty pavilion cities. Each of their sects occupies the jurisdiction of ten pavilion cities. Within their jurisdiction, they also occupy half of the resources. Jurisdiction."

Tang Ning muttered: "The five Xuanmen, starting from the C-level Xuanmen all the way to Taixuan Sect, each occupy half of the land resources of the subordinate Ting City, which means they occupy 25% of the resources of the land. The other 70% How are semi-resource jurisdictions divided?

Xu Mengyuan said: "The local Ding-level Xuanmen in Tingcheng occupies 40% of the jurisdiction, the Chamber of Commerce occupies 10%, and the other 25% belongs to the practicing family."
