Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Tang Ning said seriously: "Senior Brother Jiang is willing to give you some advice. I'm grateful for that."

"Then I will speak frankly. To be honest, many people in our team have been with me for many years, especially those who recruited disciples. Several of them still have connections with me. I hope that after I leave, Junior Brother Tang can continue Keep them on the team.”

"This is natural. I have said it before in the meeting hall. Everyone and everything will remain the same. What was done before will be done in the future. I can guarantee that whether it is a sect disciple or a monk recruited by our team, as long as it is They don’t mean to insult me ​​because I’m new here and I don’t know what’s going on, so I will never embarrass them.”

"Junior Brother Tang's words put me at ease. To be honest, during this period, many people in our team are worried that the new official will be the emperor and the minister."

"They are all working for the sect. Where can I be the emperor's subjects? Besides, I have no relatives here, I am alone, and I have no interests entangled with other local forces. These people have been in the team for a long time and are proficient in affairs. I don't need them. Who else to use?"

"That's what I told them, Junior Brother Tang, in addition to the personnel of our team, there are some other things I want to explain to you."

"Senior Brother Jiang, please tell me."

Jiang Xinquan said: "Then I will speak frankly. In fact, it is not a secret. Junior Brother Tang has been in the headquarters for so many years, so he must know something about it. In addition to the sect's industry, the teams stationed in Tingcheng are more or less outside. Everyone has some private property, and our team is certainly no exception.”

"I have been taking care of these industries before. Now that I am about to abdicate and leave, I naturally have to explain it clearly to you."

"Our team has a large alchemy hall in Pingyang Valley, which specializes in refining some third-level elixirs."

"There is also the same alchemy palace in Crescent Moon Peak."

"Although I am taking care of these two places, they are not my personal property."

"This is the property of the alliance and the brigade, we just drink some soup."

Tang Ning nodded, not surprised by this. Not to mention a huge sect like Taixuan Sect, even the Qianyi Sect, don't each department have its own private property?

The legions, columns, and regiments under Qingwu Camp occupy abundant territorial resources, and it is easy to use their powers to make some industrial profits.

Teams at all levels have their own private assets, which is almost an open secret in Taixuan Sect.

The entire Sixth Regiment of the First Column has only the directly-affiliated brigade with no private property. Because the directly-affiliated brigade is a mobile team, it is responsible for handling emergencies and coordinating affairs, and there is no fixed division of resources and jurisdiction.

But this does not mean that the direct brigade is inferior to several other teams. In fact, in terms of all levels of the entire alliance, the direct brigade is the most popular.

Many of the captains of other squads were promoted by monks who were directly affiliated with the squadron.

The reason is very simple. The disciples directly under the team have the most opportunities to obtain missions.

The more tasks you complete, the higher your merits will be, and you will have more chances to be promoted.

For example, the teams stationed in various pavilion cities have control over these rich resource areas, but they sit here all year round and have no chance to perform other tasks except completing their own tasks.

Even if he breaks through to the realm of Nascent Soul one day, but his merit points are not up to standard, he will not have the chance to be promoted.

Therefore, disciples who have some connections will find ways to stay in the direct brigade.

"Who is managing the specific industries that Senior Brother Jiang mentioned?"

Jiang Xinquan said: "They are all casual cultivators recruited to take care of the specific affairs there. Pingyanggu is a Nascent Soul cultivator from Fang Yuan, and Yueya Peak is a Nascent Soul cultivator from Changyu."

"Are they all recruiting monks for the team?"

"How is that possible? Our team has no indicators for recruiting Nascent Soul monks, and with our team's funds we cannot afford to recruit Nascent Soul level monks."

"Then who are these people?"

"Didn't I just say it? This is the property of the alliance and the brigade. We are just eating some clear soup and water. These people are the recruited monks of the alliance and the brigade. They only obey the orders from above and refine the elixirs. They handle everything from selling to selling. To put it bluntly, we are just providing raw materials and assistance. ”

"Then how much funding can we allocate from these industries every year?"

"It's only a few million spiritual stones in a year! In a few days, I will take you to these places and you will understand everything."

"Senior Brother Jiang, how much is the annual budget of our team?"

“Our team’s funding does not have a fixed amount and changes every year.”

"Oh? Why is that?"

Jiang Xinquan said: "Because the number of spirit stones we mine every year is different, all the expenses of the entire Qingwu Camp are allocated according to a certain proportion according to the resource jurisdiction it occupies. Generally speaking, Qingwu Camp and the sect are 50-50 distribution system.”

"That is to say, 50% of all the resources obtained will be handed over to the sect, and 50% will go to Qingwu Camp itself as the funds for the entire team."

"Of the 50% of the funds occupied by Qingwu Camp, each team will use half of the 50% as team expenses based on the output of the resource area it occupies."

"For example, if our spiritual mine mines 200 high-grade spiritual stones this year, then our team can get ten high-grade spiritual stones, which is 10 million spiritual stones as team funds."

"Correspondingly, the team received ten high-grade spiritual stones."

"The team received ten high-grade spiritual stones."

"The column obtained ten high-grade spiritual stones."

"The legion received ten high-grade spiritual stones."

"Qingwu Camp Headquarters obtained fifty high-grade spiritual stones."

"And the other hundred spirit stones will be handed over to the sect in full. This is the entire sect's fund distribution system."

"The advantage of this is that our Qingwu Camp can be self-sufficient in its expenditure operations. It does not require the sect to bear this financial pressure. It only needs to pay the disciples' salaries according to the prescribed amount."

"So that's it." Tang Ning said, "But there are hundreds of thousands of monks in the entire Qingwu camp, and this salary is not a small sum."

Jiang Xinquan smiled and said: "This is not something you and I should consider. Although the salary of hundreds of thousands of disciples is not a small amount, it is insignificant compared to the financial resources handed over."

"In our Xuantang City alone, more than one million high-grade spiritual stones are handed over to the sect every year. This does not include the spiritual medicines and herbs grown in the spiritual veins and the scarce cultivation materials in other resource jurisdictions, as well as various places in Qingzhou. The annual tax levied by the denomination.”

"The reason why the sect formulated such a financial division plan must have taken everything into account. If there is no profit, how can it send hundreds of thousands of disciples to garrison Qingzhou?"

Tangning nodded: "That's true. By the way, Senior Brother Jiang, I don't know that the funds you mentioned just now do not include the salary expenses for recruiting monks to our team."

Jiang Xinquan said: "Except, the salaries of the disciples of our sect are distributed by the sect, and the salaries of those who recruit monks are distributed by the Qingwu Camp. This is why other teams at all levels only take half of the mined spiritual minerals and spiritual stones. The Qingwuying headquarters takes 25% because it also has to pay the salaries for recruiting disciples.”

"Qingwu Camp has unified standards for recruitment numbers and specifications. The team can only recruit a maximum of one hundred monks, ten Golden Core monks, and ninety Foundation-building monks."

"If you exceed this number and specifications, you will have to pay for the extra spirit stones yourself."

Tang Ning said: "No wonder I walked around the halls of the Spiritual Mine today and felt that the number of monks recruited was far from the one hundred people that Senior Brother Jiang mentioned earlier."

Jiang Xinquan smiled and said: "This is an open secret. I dare say that in the entire Qingwu Camp, not a single team has reached the standard number. The hundred people I mentioned are the explanation from above. In fact, the total number of people recruited by this team is only Sixty or seventy people, even Junior Brother Tang should understand what’s going on here.”

"I understand. So how many spiritual stones can we receive as salary for recruiting disciples every year?"

Jiang Xinquan said: "According to Qingwu Camp's standards, the team is allowed to recruit one late-stage Golden Core monk, three mid-stage Golden Core monks, six early-stage Golden Core monks, ten late-stage Foundation Establishment monks, thirty mid-stage Foundation Establishment monks and Fifty early-stage foundation-building monks. This is the highest standard.”

"There is also a unified standard for the salary of these people. The annual salary for the late Golden Core is two million, the annual salary for the middle Golden Core is one million, the annual salary for the early Golden Core is 500,000. The annual salary for the late Foundation Establishment is 200,000, and the annual salary for the Middle Foundation Establishment is 100,000. The annual salary for the initial period of foundation building is 50,000 yuan.”

"The total is fifteen million spirit stones, which is the highest specification."

"Of course we are reporting to the highest standards."

Tangning nodded and asked, "What about the actual personnel recruited by our team?"

"Two people are in the middle stage of Golden Core, three are in the early stage of Golden Core, eight are in the later stage of Foundation Establishment, nineteen are in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, and 38 are in the early stage of Foundation Establishment, a total of seventy people."

"Are these people's salaries paid truthfully according to Qingwuying salaries?"

"Of course, since we have recruited all the people, there is no need to attach any strings to it or make it look ugly. The salary and rewards that should be paid will naturally be paid."

Tang Ning silently calculated in her mind: "In other words, the actual salary paid to this team is about 8 million, which can save 7 million spiritual stones. Brother Jiang, I have another question, why not recruit all foundation-building monks? ? Wouldn’t this save more salary funds?”

Jiang Xinquan smiled slightly: "Why don't I want to recruit all foundation-building monks? If possible, I would rather recruit none, but there are some things! It is not my decision."

"Don't underestimate these recruited monks. They all have their own paths. Some are even arranged by people at the level of brigade inspectors and captains. Do I dare not to accept them?"

"Furthermore, we do need people here. If we only rely on a few disciples of our sect, such a large property will be busy all day long, let alone practice meditation."

"Now that we have recruited them, it is better not to kick them away rashly, otherwise we will offend others. For such a small amount of spiritual stones, there is no need."
