Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Xu Mengyuan said: "I would like to invite Brother Tang to Yuanxian County to visit Uncle Bai Jintang. As you know, my wife used to serve in the seventh column of the Fourth Army in Donglai County, and I was in Xuantang City. This couple Long-term separation between the two places is not an option. It would take half a year to go back and forth to see each other. "

"So the two of us discussed whether to transfer her to Yuanxian County first. Then whether I will be promoted to Yuanxian County or she will be transferred to the headquarters, we will make a decision at that time."

"Isn't Master Bai serving as an inspector directly under the column? We would like to ask him for help to see if we can transfer my wife to the column. It just so happens that an uncle of her family is a supervisor directly under the column."

Tang Ning nodded and said, "That's no problem. It's just that I'm a soft-spoken person. I'm afraid I won't be able to say anything in front of Senior Uncle Bai and won't be able to help."

"Junior brother Tang is too modest. Uncle Bai has always taken good care of you and has high hopes for you. Furthermore, you are Inspector Nangong's disciple-in-law. As the saying goes, you can't speak more clearly than me if you don't look at the face of a monk or the face of a Buddha. Good job."

Tang Ning smiled bitterly inwardly. Nangong Muxue didn't recognize him as his disciple and husband, so how could he have the face of a monk or a Buddha? There was no expression on his face: "Uncle Bai is a generous and righteous man, I believe he will help. By the way, since it is an important matter for Madam, why not ask the Master to come forward? He and Uncle Bai have a deep friendship. If he comes forward, It’s much more effective than us.”

"Of course my master is going too. How about we set off together then?"

"Everything is subject to Brother Xu's arrangements. I don't know when we will set off?"

"Brother Tang, let's finish your affairs first! I'm not in a hurry."

"Thank you, Brother Xu."

"Let's go! Let's go see our master first and listen to what he means before we make any further response."

"good."

The two of them left the room and came to Fang Dasheng Cave Mansion. Xu Mengyuan knocked on the stone door of the main room and called Master.

"Come in." Fang Dasheng's deep voice came from inside.

The two pushed the door open and entered.

"Disciple pays homage to Master Fang." Tang Ning stepped forward and bowed to Fang Dasheng, who was sitting cross-legged on the futon.

"You're here, sit down!"

"Thank you, uncle." Tang Ning took her seat as instructed.

Fang Dasheng smiled and said: "I haven't seen you for several years. How are you? How are you at the headquarters?"

"Thank you for your concern, Master. Uncle Huang and Senior Brother Yu Qian of our headquarters are very caring about our disciples."

Fang Dasheng nodded: "By the way, how far have you accumulated your merits now?"

"There are already more than 4,800 points."

"Yes, it seems that you are still interested."

"It's all a blessing from Uncle Tuo."

"How many years have you been here at this headquarters?"

"So far, more than a hundred years."

"Well, all the conditions are basically met. You came just in time. I was planning to send someone to summon you! Now there is an opportunity. The position of captain of the fifth team of the first team is vacant. Are you interested in taking it?"

Tang Ning did not expect that Fang Dasheng would take the initiative to mention this matter. She felt slightly happy and quickly replied: "This is why the disciple came here. Senior Brother Xu had informed the disciple of the news before, so the disciple asked him to come to pay a visit to the master." Uncle, please teach me what I should do to win this position."

Fang Dasheng smiled and said: "According to the sect's process, you must first get the quota recommendation from the brigade, and then win over the other two people in the coalition's voting. Finally, the coalition will report the candidates to the column, the column will report to the legion, and the legion will report to the youth team. Wuying and Qingwuying will report to the sect, and the appointment will be official only after approval from Qingxuan Hall."

"This is the entire process of this sect's personnel system. It can take a few years at the earliest and more than ten years at the earliest until the formal appointment."

"But the position cannot remain vacant. Therefore, in order to improve efficiency, the sect also has corresponding regulations. For positions below the level of legion manager, the local government can take advantage of them."

"As long as the team nomination and alliance discussions are passed, you can preside over the team affairs as the acting captain. Under normal circumstances, the captain candidate submitted by the alliance will not be rejected by the superiors unless he commits a sect crime during this period. Discipline.”

"If you want to choose this position, the first step is to get a recommendation for a quota in the First Brigade. There are three key people here, namely the captain, inspector and deputy captain of the First Brigade."

"The three of them each have a recommendation quota. This recommendation quota is not only a ticket to the alliance meeting, but also a vote."

"There are ten team managers, each with one vote. When it comes to the personnel appointment of subordinates of the brigade, the brigade captain, supervisor, and deputy captain each have one vote, which is their recommended quota, which is equivalent to when the brigade is discussing matters. There are thirteen votes in total.”

"For example, if you want to elect the captain of the fifth squad of the first brigade, in addition to the ten voting rights of the ten stewards of the brigade, there are also three recommendation votes for the captain of the first brigade, the supervisor, and the deputy captain. Thirteen votes in total.”

"Among them, the captain of the first brigade is the most special, because he has two votes. First, as the captain of the first brigade, he has a recommendation ticket, and then he is the steward of the coalition and can cast another vote when the coalition is discussing matters. ”

"Do you understand now?"

Tang Ning nodded, and finally understood why Taixuanzong set up three leadership positions in each department of each palace, as well as in Qingwu Camp and Yanwu Camp.

In addition to the captain and supervisor, there is also a deputy captain position. The sentiment is caused by the sect's personnel system. The three major factions of Taixuan Sect are Zhengzong, Aristocratic Family, and Master and Disciple.

The three factions firmly control the sect's political power, and their influence is widespread throughout the sect. From the palace master, the courtyard master, to the lowest team captain, there are many direct members of the three factions.

Even if the others are not direct descendants of the three sects, they are still attached to the three sects and have inextricable and deep relationships with the middle and high-level people of the three sects.

According to the sect's personnel regulations, the promotion of its lower-level disciples is recommended from the bottom up. There are three leadership positions, each with one vote of recommendation right. Each of the three major forces has one, which can ensure that the personnel of their own faction have corresponding positions. rising channel.

Otherwise, if there are only two recommended places, it means that one of the factions must be suppressed, which can easily cause an imbalance among the factions and split the Taixuan Sect.

For example, the alliance only has two leadership positions: captain and inspector. The captain belongs to the authentic line and the inspector belongs to the aristocratic line. In this alliance, all the disciples of the master and apprentice line cannot get promotion opportunities. The power of recommendation lies with the Zhengzong and Aristocratic factions, and they will only recommend people who are friends with their own faction.

The alliance has the right to recommend the members of the brigade, and the brigade has the right to recommend the candidates for the squad. If this goes on for many years, it will not take hundreds of years, the master-disciple line will inevitably decline and be squeezed out of the alliance.

The reason is very simple. If you don't get the chance to be promoted, you won't get the corresponding generous resources provided by the sect, and your cultivation will not keep up, and you will fall into a vicious cycle from then on.

Setting up three leadership positions, each of whom has a recommendation quota, and each of the three factions has one vote, can well balance the forces of the three factions. As for who wins in the end and who retreats sadly, it all depends on their connections and abilities.

"Master, we all understand these procedures and regulations. The problem is that Junior Brother Tang is not familiar with the personnel here. How could the captain, supervisor and deputy captain of the first brigade give him the recommendation quota, let alone the uncles of the alliance who voted for it? I'm afraid you have to come forward to solve the problem," Xu Mengyuan said from the side.

Fang Dasheng smiled: "You! After so many years in the headquarters, you have gained a lot of experience. Tang Ning has not yet been able to calm down. This matter! Don't be anxious. You must first find out who your competitors are and the situation of the alliance. I also know that it is very complicated. Each one has its own problems and networks, especially when it comes to personnel matters. Even if I come forward, I cannot guarantee victory. "

Xu Mengyuan said: "I heard that Sima Teng, a disciple directly under the first team, intends to choose this position."

Fang Dasheng nodded and said, "Well, Junior Brother Sima's energy should not be underestimated! He has a close friendship with Junior Brother Xie, and this Sima Teng is a member of his clan, so I think he will do his best."

When Tang Ning heard this, her heart sank slightly. The junior brother Xie mentioned by Fang Dasheng was Xie Minghua, the captain of the First Brigade. The Xie family is a wealthy family in Qianyue City, a well-established family. He holds two votes, plus With one vote in Sima Teng's hands, he has secured three votes out of thirteen votes. It seems that the situation is not optimistic.

Fang Dasheng said: "Who else is there besides him?"

"We don't know yet."

"That's it! Take Tangning to the first brigade and decide on the recommended quota first."

"yes."

"Thank you, Uncle Fang."

"I will try my best to help you plan this matter, but I can't guarantee anything. You'd better be mentally prepared and don't have high expectations. After all, your opponent can't be solved with just a few words. Anyway, if it doesn't work this time, just do it. Again, relax your mind, there are always opportunities.”

"Yes, disciple understands."

"By the way, I'm going to Yuanxian City in a while to pay a visit to Junior Brother Bai. You can go with me!"

"Senior Brother Xu has already told his disciples about this matter before. When Uncle Senior sets out, we can just give him an order."

"Oh? Really?" Fang Dasheng glanced at Xu Mengyuan: "It seems that I am worrying too much."

The two chatted casually for a few more words before Tangning stood up and left.
