Chronicles of Celestial Origins

Less than half an hour after Mo Fan left, another disciple came to send a message asking him to go to the meeting hall.

Today is not the time for discussions. Sima Nianzu suddenly held a meeting, and there must be important matters.

When Tang Ning arrived at the alliance meeting hall, there was no one else there except Qin Jin.

"Senior Brother Qin, why did you suddenly convene a meeting and I don't know why?"

"I don't know either. Senior Brother Sima has just returned from the column. He must have another mission assigned by his superiors."

"Is it possible that we need to recruit manpower again to support the main battlefield in Qingzhou?"

"It has only been a few months since the coalition forces were disbanded. It shouldn't be that fast! Besides, didn't the Mirror Moon Sect lead a group of surrendered monks to the Qingzhou battlefield? I'm afraid they haven't arrived yet, so they shouldn't have to recruit more manpower."

While the two were talking, Sima Nianzu had arrived.

"Both junior brothers are here. Please come here. We have a big matter to discuss. A few days ago, I went to the column to discuss the matter. I learned that the superiors had divided up all the unclaimed lands, and our headquarters had gained twenty-one more in Xuantang City. It is a resource-controlled area, and the column requires us to send people to garrison it immediately and to start construction before next year. "

Qin Jin said: "So fast? I wonder which resource areas are under its jurisdiction?"

Sima Nianzu turned over his hand, took out an atlas, unfolded it in front of the two of them, pointed to the red circle drawn on it and said: "These are the jurisdictions assigned to the sect in Xuantang City, a total of twenty-one places. ”

"Five of them are within the jurisdiction of the Fourth Brigade."

"The fifth location is under the jurisdiction of the Third Brigade."

"Everywhere is within the jurisdiction of the Second Brigade."

"Seven locations are within the jurisdiction of the First Brigade."

The two of them stared at it. This was a topographic map of Xuantang City. The red areas circled on it were very conspicuous and scattered in various pavilions and cities.

"Why are there only twenty-one, and these resource areas are not the best. Who took the majority? The Nether Sea Organization or the Jiang Family?" Qin Jin asked with a frown.

In Xuantang City, there were twenty Xuanmen that were wiped out, two B-level Xuanmen, eighteen D-level Xuanmen, plus the annihilated aristocratic families, in total, about forty families were wiped out.

Each power had at least a dozen resource areas under its jurisdiction, and Taixuanzong was only allocated twenty-one of them, which was indeed not many.

"The Jiang family and the Nether Sea Organization each took a part, but they were not the big ones."

"If it's not the Jiang family and the Nether Sea Organization, who is that?"

Sima Nianzu's expression was a little subtle: "The Sima family has benefited the most from it. All the resource jurisdictions below the third level in Xuantang City have been divided to them. They have taken 32 resource jurisdictions above the third level. The Jiang family and Nether Sea each took more than twenty."

"What? Why can the Sima clan occupy so many resources?"

"Well! When the rebels captured Yuanxian County, the Sima clan abandoned their family and business, and all their children went south with the army. In order to reward their loyalty and set an example for other sects and families, the coalition forces captured most of Yuanxian County. The low-level unowned resource territories were all handed over to the Sima family, so they were allocated the most resource territories in this city," Sima Nianzu said.

Tang Ning turned to look at him, but didn't see any clues from his expression. As a descendant of the Sima clan, Sima Nianzu must have stopped by Sima's house when he came to the column to discuss matters. He should It’s about getting more inside information.

The Sima clan was able to gain victory this time. When the Jingyue Sect rebelled, the rebels gained momentum and occupied Yuanxian County.

Almost all the Xuanmen and aristocratic families in Yuanxian County had defected to the rebels. Only they abandoned everything and led their children to go south with the coalition forces. It must be said that this decision was very bold and risky.

Since all their family properties were in Yuanxian County, abandoning Yuanxian County to follow the army south would be equivalent to abandoning all resources, territory and future sources of income. Needless to say, the coalition finally won, even if the two armies were at a stalemate for hundreds of years. The Sima family may not be able to bear it in the coming year.

High risk and high reward. Now that the rebels have been wiped out and the Sima clan has made a comeback, the coalition will naturally not treat them badly. The reward is so generous that it is enough to make people jealous.

After this battle, if nothing unexpected happens, the Sima family is bound to rise in Donglai County, especially since the Liu family was exterminated, leaving the Donglai County family without a leader. The Sima family was already the overlord of Yuanxian County and gained so many resources. In return, it is not impossible to replace the Liu family in the future.

"Who took the territory of Qianjia Zongshan Gate and Huayuan Zongshan Gate?" Qin Jin looked at the album and asked suddenly.

These two sects are the second of the three major Bing family mystical gates in Xuantang City. The mountain gate they occupy is naturally the place where the heavenly spirit is beautiful. The Qianjia sect's mountain gate is originally a fifth-level low-grade spiritual vein. High-grade spiritual veins.

If these two areas of jurisdiction were not used as a place of spiritual practice but instead used to grow elixirs, they would be able to generate a very considerable amount of income.

"The Qianjia Zong's mountain gate was taken by the Jiang family, and the Huayuan Zong's mountain gate was taken by the Sima family."

"There are two top-grade spiritual mines in Huayue Mountain and Tianfeng Mountain, and my sect has also fished for one?"

"One was taken by the Netherworld Sea Organization, and the other was taken by the Sima family."

Qin Jin shook his head helplessly: "It was obviously Xuanmen's resources, but they took them, but we didn't get anything at all. They were all inferior goods, not a single fifth-level spiritual vein, not a single top-grade spiritual mine. "

"Just looking at Xuantang City, we really don't get much. That's because the cultivation resources of Xuantang City are not outstanding among the twelve cities under Yuanxian County. They belong to the middle or even lower ranks. The sect is in Xuantang If you take less in the city, you will take more in other places. For example, the Canglang Sect’s mountain gate, Longyuan Mountains, is the only sixth-level high-grade spiritual vein in the entire Yuanxian County.”

"So what if other places get more? Will they still subsidize the funds for the headquarters?"

As soon as this statement came out, Sima Nianzu was speechless. The funds and income of each ministry were directly proportional to the resources of the area under its jurisdiction. The richer the resource area, the more funds it received, and the higher its private income.

"No matter what! It's better than nothing. These 21 resources include five high-grade spiritual mines, four fourth-level spiritual veins, ten third-level spiritual veins, and two fourth-level resource territories. They are all pretty good." Tang Ning He spoke to break the silence.

"These combined may not be as good as a top-grade spiritual mine." Qin Jin shook his head. Obviously, he was very dissatisfied with the resources the alliance received.

Sima Nianzu said: "The division of territory is beyond your control. The column requires us to immediately send people to these resource areas. Junior Brother Qin, you immediately go to purchase defense formations, spirit gathering formations, and various spirit formations." Equipment and medicinal herb seeds and other corresponding supplies.”

"Junior Brother Tang, you must mobilize manpower from various ministries. In short, everything must be deployed before the end of the year."

The three of them discussed specific matters about how to purchase supplies and deploy manpower for a long time. It was not until dusk that they ended the discussion and left the hall and left.

For a period of time after that, Tang Ning was busy everywhere. On the one hand, she deployed manpower, on the other hand, she went to various pavilion cities to inspect the progress. On the other hand, she also recruited casual cultivators for alchemy and talisman making to establish a private industry chain.

After working hard for several months, I finally got the matter sorted.

As the New Year approaches, the Tianniu Mountains are covered in snow. This heavy snowfall has covered all the dirt on the earth.

Many affairs of the alliance have also been put on track, and construction has started in various resource jurisdictions.

In the alliance meeting hall, everyone gathered together. Everyone reported on the progress of various affairs in turn. Finally, Sima Nianzu made a concluding speech.

After the rebellion, the early years of the regiment's reconstruction ended with this calm discussion.

…

At night, in the majestic and majestic cave mansion, Sima Nianzu, Qin Jin, and Tang Ning sat separately as guest and host.

"Junior Brother Qin, please tell me about the financial situation of our headquarters first!"

"Okay, the first income of this department comes from the tax collection of various sects. There are a total of 560,000 high-grade spiritual stones, which are used to buy large formations, spiritual weapons and other items. All have been used up. There is still a total of owed money from outside. 120,000. Recently, the spiritual stones mined by various ministries have also been transported to the alliance, adding up to a total of more than 300,000 high-grade spiritual stones."

"I have received news from the column that the salary and funding for the coming year will have to be further reduced. It may not be paid until the end of next year. Next year's funding needs to be solved by ourselves."

"What? The end of next year? What about next year's expenses?"

"Now the frontal battlefield in Qingzhou is still in a stalemate. The daily expenses are huge and the sect's finances cannot support it. We can only prioritize protecting the front line. There is no war in Donglai County. The above said that when everything returns to normal operation next year, hand over After the supplies are completed, a portion of them will be used as funds, but personnel salaries will still be paid as normal.”

"If no funds are released next year, can the spiritual stones collected during these days be retained for funding?"

"The column means to keep half and hand over the other half."

"Half? There are only 160,000 spiritual stones. In the past few months, we bought magic circles and various spiritual weapons, and we still owe 120,000 spiritual stones. After paying off the debt, we only have 40,000 spiritual stones. How can it be enough?"

"The whole legion is like this. There is nothing we can do if we don't have enough. We can only live frugally and spend the next year. If it doesn't work, find connections and borrow some from various sects or practicing families."

"The Sima clan will benefit the most from this division of resources and make a lot of money. Why don't we borrow some spiritual stones from them? With your relationship, it shouldn't be difficult!" Tangning took the opportunity to say.

"This... let's talk about it then! Anyway, it's best for everyone to be mentally prepared. Next year will be a tough time."

"By the way, during the Liu family's rebellion, the funding of each ministry was cut by 30%. Now that the war in Donglai County has calmed down, when the sect distributes funding, it will not be cut again!"

"I don't know about this either. A notice will be issued by then."
