at this time.
In the meeting hall of the Papal Palace.
After listening to the reports of Yue Guan and Gui Mei.
Regarding the actions of the Tiandou Empire and the Xingluo Empire, Bibi Dong's beautiful eyes were full of sarcasm, and she smiled coldly and said:
"Will they have financial difficulties? Haha, it's just an excuse."
"The two empires of Tiandou and Xingluo are, in the final analysis, nothing more than a combination of interests between the nobility and the royal family. They are basically just squeezing profits from the common people. They are both a bunch of dead dogs."
"None of the nobles from the two empires are fat-headed noodles. Their mouths are full of oil when they eat them, and they look extremely ugly when they eat."
"The two empires of Tiandou and Xingluo have just seen that in the past three years, more and more civilian soul masters have chosen to join the Spirit Hall, reaching 70%."
"But they themselves can't recruit many civilian soul masters. The number of civilian soul masters they recruit doesn't even exceed 30%, so they feel the imbalance and jealousy."
"But Wuhun Palace was able to accelerate its development because of this, which attracted the attention of the two empires and aroused their fear."
Speaking of this, Bibi Dong's beautiful eyes showed a hint of disdain, and the ridicule on her beautiful face became more intense. It was obvious that she had seen through the tricks of the two empires.
Now these two empires are colluding together and have joined forces to manipulate the monthly payment of soul masters. This is a clear intention to target Wuhun Palace, in order to force Wuhun Palace to recruit civilian soul masters. Go ahead and make a concession.
Do you want to take Wuhundian as a victim?
Haha, don’t even think about it.
Bibi Dong's eyes narrowed slightly, and the light in her eyes seemed like frost.
Since the two empires of Tiandou and Xingluo were so shameless, deducting the monthly payments of soul masters without permission, and taking the lead in tearing up the agreement, then don't blame Wuhun Palace for not respecting martial ethics.
At that time, there will be no need to make concessions to the two empires regarding the recruitment of civilian soul masters.
Now the two empires have openly tore up the agreement that the three parties have long adhered to.
Bibi Dongxin said that in this case, there was no need to show them any good looks. One day, she would destroy all these bullshit nobles and sweep them all into the dust of history.
"Then His Majesty the Pope, what should we do?"
At this time, Yue Guan's charming and high-pitched voice sounded, and her face as delicate as a baby showed hidden worries:
"Now that the two empires are cutting funds without authorization, the soul masters' monthly payments cannot be paid in full, so they are in arrears. Wuhun Palace is responsible for the payment of the soul masters' monthly payments. I am afraid that this debt will also be charged to the Spirit Masters. By then, The reputation of Wuhun Palace will definitely take a hit."
"Even if Wuhun Palace publicizes the reason widely, the two empires may not admit it, and may even bite back. If civilian soul masters are deceived without knowing the reason, Wuhun Palace will also be blamed, and the consequences will be affected. Wuhun Palace’s recruitment plan.”
"Chrysanthemum has a point."
The ghost's words were concise and his voice was hoarse, echoing Yue Guan's words.
Bibi Dong frowned after hearing this. She naturally understood the purpose of the two empires, but they thought they wanted her to make concessions?
impossible!
After a long silence, Bibi Dong waved her jade hand lightly and made a decision:
"The soul master's monthly payment cannot be in arrears, nor can it be reduced. For now, let's allocate it from the Wuhun Palace's finances, and make up for the shortfall first."
"That's all it can do."
The ghosts of Yueguan sighed helplessly at the same time, they could not think of any good solution.
To solve this situation, Wuhundian can only make up for the funds by itself.
Having been angered by the two empires for no reason, Bibi Dong sat on the papal throne, feeling very unhappy at the moment.
snort! One day, this Pope will spit out all the bones you eat.
But as a result, the development of Wuhun Palace may slow down.
Still short of money.
Qian Xunji, that good-for-nothing good-for-nothing, didn’t know how much of the Spirit Hall’s financial resources he had squandered for no reason.
Under his leadership, the development of Wuhun Palace has not made any progress in decades, and has even declined slightly.
The Wuhun Palace's combat power seems to be very powerful, but in fact it is bloated and rotten internally, and its finances are in a shambles.
If Qianxunji had not died early, Qiandao would have stabilized the overall situation and fought against the Haotian Sect, showing the mainland the foundation and terror of Wuhun Palace, and temporarily gaining a good development environment.
Otherwise, Wuhun Palace may decline even more.
Even so, when Bibi Dong first took over, Wuhun Palace's finances were in a shambles.
If it weren't for her hands-on and resolute actions in the past two years, the fiscal revenue would have been recorded and there would be a slight surplus.
I'm afraid I can't come up with the money now to plug this loophole.
However, this is not a long-term solution after all. Is it necessary to reduce the monthly payment of the soul master?
No, you can't do that.
Once this is done, Wuhun Palace will lose some of the people's support, which is not good for Wuhun Palace.
We need to find a way to increase the financial income of Wuhun Palace. What should we do? Sad... Bibi Dong held her eyebrows with her hand and kept thinking, but she still had no clue.
Although Wuhun Palace also has its own channels to earn gold soul coins, its financial income is actually not much.
Because Wuhun Palace’s financial income almost comes from soul masters.
Although soul masters are the wealthiest group in the entire Douluo Continent, their number is actually not large compared to the population of the entire Douluo Continent.
Therefore, the financial income of Wuhun Palace is always limited.
The largest source of fiscal revenue is actually civilians.
Because almost all production and taxes come from civilians.
Soul masters are not engaged in production, but are a rentier class. They only rely on soul masters for consumption, and the tax revenue generated is limited after all.
Thousands of ordinary civilians in the world are the largest source of fiscal revenue, but this is controlled by the two empires.
The Wuhun Palace occupies a small area. There is only an area near Wuhun City, which is equivalent to the size of a principality or province, and the population is not large.
In the entire Douluo Continent, although the Wuhun Palace is the most powerful force besides the two empires, and the Wuhun Palace has branches all over the continent, the place where the branch halls are located is still the territory of the two empires.
Financial revenue has always been Wuhun Palace's shortcoming, and it has never been able to compare with the two major empires.
To sum up, Wuhundian is an organization with extremely powerful military force but relatively poor financial and economic resources.
If the Wuhun Palace wanted to issue monthly payments to low-level civilian soul masters, it would need the financial support of the two empires, and would be manipulated by the two empires.
Bibi Dong had a headache and was a little worried about this...
...
At this time.
The door to the meeting hall was suddenly pushed open.
Ye Qifeng stepped in.
Seeing the figure of Ye Qifeng, the three ghosts and demons of Bibi Dongyueguan who were discussing the matter all turned their attention to him.
"His Royal Highness the Holy Son!"
Yue Guan and Gui Mei were the first to caress their chests and bow. Both of them had a good impression of Ye Qifeng.
"Meet the teacher! I've met Elder Ju and Elder Ghost!"
Ye Qifeng came to the steps, first saluted Bibi Dong respectfully, and then greeted Yue Guan and Gui Mei.
"Xiao Feng, you are here."
Looking at Ye Qifeng, Bibi Dong's eyes lit up, the sadness on her face suddenly disappeared, and for some reason she felt much better.
But because Yue Guan and Gui Mei were also there, Bibi Dong still tried his best to maintain his aloof papal posture and majesty and regain his composure.
Although the joyful expression on Bibi Dong's face only flashed by, Ye Qifeng could clearly feel her joy from her slightly raised red lips.
