My magic weapons are all rule-based

"After all, you are new here, and the church lacks trust in you. It is common for hostile sects to send spies to infiltrate each other. Of course, I trust you absolutely, but you have to understand this."

"After joining the church, you will definitely be treated worse than the old people. You should be more low-key and try not to conflict with others. The interpersonal relationships in the church are complicated. If you don't understand the rules, you can ask Caiying more. As for other things, there is nothing to pay attention to."

Xu Shan's eyebrows moved slightly.

Chen Zhengxin is quite experienced in doing things.

"Disciple knows, but shouldn't the disciple follow the elder to work in the mine?"

"The mine is guarded by Yuanying, so there is no need for Jindan cultivators. And you are new to the sect, and the Dianxing Mine will not allow you to guard it. Speaking of this mine, I am still quite troubled." Chen Zhengxin sighed after speaking.

"Oh? Hasn't the matter of the mine been resolved long ago? What difficulties does the elder have?" Xu Shan asked curiously.

Chen Zhengxin smiled bitterly: "There are many difficulties. We were lucky to encounter you during the last riot, but the ambitions of the independent cultivators in the mine have been aroused by the thieves. They don't work well all day, and they won't leave even if they are asked to. They find ways to increase their wages."

"The news has spread to other mining areas, and people are restless everywhere!"

"There are so many people, we can't kill them, and we can't drive them away. If this continues, there will be a scandal."

"Isn't it because the money is too little? Can't you give more?" Xu Shan pretended to be naive, "In fact, independent cultivators are also quite unacceptable."

Chen Zhengxin sneered: "It's not easy to be an independent cultivator, but there is no easy cultivator in the world. Things in the mine are not simple. There are requirements for how many mines to open and how many spirit stones to spend. This huge relationship falls on me. If the mine is opened less, I have to pay more. If you spend too much spirit stones and the superiors hold you accountable, then you will be considered incompetent. "

"Hey... forget it, why should I tell you something? Just take care of yourself after you join the sect."

Xu Shan frowned, like a philosopher, and raised his hand and said, "Elder, since you are the one who helped me join the sect, I should share your worries. I think it is not difficult to handle this matter."

"Well, you say it is not difficult?" Chen Zhengxin stopped and shook his head helplessly, "There are hundreds of casual cultivators in this mine. These people have different thoughts. You can't imagine how chaotic it is."

"The number of people is not important. I have three strategies to solve this problem. I wonder if the elder wants to listen?"

"You actually thought of three strategies in such a short time? Tell me in detail!" Chen Zhengxin's long beard became interested.

This Heshen looks very smart. Maybe he can really say something useful.

It doesn't hurt to listen.

Xu Shan quickly sorted out his thoughts: "The last strategy is very simple. Present the facts and reason with them. Then let those who are willing to work stay and those who are unwilling to work leave, or force them to leave."

"Those independent cultivators come here for money. Since they are unwilling to leave, it means that there is no better way out. Killing the chicken to scare the monkey is a way."

"Well..." Chen Zhengxin nodded slowly, "It is a way, but I have used it before, and it is not very effective. Cultivators cannot be compared with mortals. You continue."

Xu Shan continued: "The middle strategy is to be frank and open. Let them explain their demands and unify their opinions..."

"No, you want to talk to them frankly? This method is totally wrong. The mine has already experienced a riot. If they unite again, it will be troublesome. This method is absolutely not feasible."

Chen Zhengxin shook his head quickly, and was quite disappointed with Xu Shan.

It seems that he thought too much, and the other party was not so smart and did not put forward any constructive suggestions.

But at this time, Xu Shan said: "Elder, I haven't finished speaking yet. We can let them unite and discuss openly, but we can't fall into a passive position and put forward some reasonable conditions."

"What conditions?"

"Let them discuss and select a few prestigious representatives, let the representatives talk to us alone, and then... the representatives will accept us as dogs." Xu Shan smiled mysteriously, "It is always easier to conquer a few people than to conquer hundreds or thousands of people. We must let them cause internal strife and lose their spirits."

"The rest of the things will be smooth sailing."

"Hmm~~" Chen Zhengxin's eyes lit up and his eyes moved to Xu Shan, "Good idea! This is definitely a good and feasible idea. Tell me the best plan!"

He really hadn't thought of this idea.

A wonderful idea, Heshen has an extraordinary mind.

The middle plan is like this, I don't know what the best plan is.

Xu Shan pursed his lips and smiled: "Elder, you are too kind. The best strategy is even simpler. Before I say it, I would like to ask you a question. Who determines the income of the miners in our mine?"

"Who determines it? This is not a question... Of course, it is determined by the church."

"Wrong, totally wrong." Xu Shan smiled and shook his head, "It is not determined by the church, but by the miners themselves. If the church really has the ability to decide how much the miners should earn, then we should not pay a single spiritual stone."

"But it is obviously impossible for us to recruit people without paying a single spiritual stone, not one, not two... Only when the lowest psychological price of the independent cultivators is reached, will someone be willing to come to work, so how much they earn is determined by themselves."

"Hmm... Hmm?! Your statement is a bit novel, go on." Chen Zhengxin fell into thought

"Since how much they earn is determined by themselves, who determines the lower limit of their income?"

"Is it... who wants less money for doing the same work?"

"That's right!" Xu Shan clapped his hands and smiled.

I didn’t expect Elder Chen to understand so quickly that the lower limit of wages is determined by the pressure.

“Then it will be much easier to act according to this principle. We can hire a group of people to work hard in the mines and secretly declare that their income is much lower than others. In this way, the situation can be changed imperceptibly.”

“Those people want to increase their income, but they are scattered and it is absolutely impossible to do it without unity. In addition, it is not enough to just lower the wages. We also need to give them incentives, hope and honor, such as step-by-step income, team competition...”

“Elder Chen, we can reward too many things. In addition to spiritual stones and elixirs, it is not impossible to even join the Huanhai Sect. With the middle strategy and the best strategy, I think the problems in the mine are definitely not difficult, and we can even turn worries into joy.”

After listening to Xu Shan’s long speech, Chen Zhengxin’s scalp was numb and his eyes were erratic.

There was only one thought echoing in his mind.

Genius! Heshen is definitely a fucking genius!

This time I picked up a treasure!

"Heshen, you really helped me solve a big problem!" Chen Zhengxin stretched out his hands and pressed Xu Shan's shoulders, excitedly saying

Xu Shan stretched out his hands and held Chen Zhengxin's hands, his expression extremely solemn: "Elder, you are joking. Without you providing me with this platform for growth, how could I and Heshen have a chance to speak? Heshen knows how to be grateful in his heart, and I can share your worries, so I am also repaying you."

Chen Zhengxin was shocked and almost cried.

This young man is talking!

Fuck, who has such a good quality nowadays! ! !
