The documents totaled more than ten pages.
Due to insufficient time, Xu Yuanlai had time to have someone copy this document.
The fonts on each page of the document are different, but they all correspond to the important industries of the Wanxiang Sect in an important prefecture in Xizezhou.
These things were temporarily gathered by the Black Scale Guards from various places at noon today.
The situation of each prefecture and county was divided into several major categories according to Xu Yuan's requirements, and under these major categories, many subcategories were refined.
It’s not complicated at first glance.
From agricultural farms and mineral veins facing ordinary people, to wine shops in the city, to large-scale chambers of commerce or banks, there is even a column in the general catalog that includes the unique formation technology of the Wanxiang Sect.
in silence,
The Wanxiang Sect Master and the Great Elder browsed through the directory.
Looking at each other, the two of them saw a hint of anger and helplessness in each other's eyes.
This list includes 70% of the Wanxiang Sect's properties in Xizezhou, and more than 90% of the list is in a profitable state.
Taking a deep breath, Master Wanxiang said quickly and deeply:
"Sir, the properties on this list are far more than 90 million."
Xu Yuan interrupted him mid-sentence, polished his nails, and said casually:
"Don't worry, I know that the value of your properties is far more than the total amount of compensation you want. Isn't time too tight? It has only been more than half a month since the incident in Shengshan County. The industries on this list are only things that we are interested in. . You agree first, and specialized personnel will come to slowly discuss the details of the discount with you."
"." Master Wanxiang was silent.
The meaning of the other party's words was very clear.
Don't use those junk assets that are losing money to make up the numbers, we have investigated them all.
While their senior officials in Vientiane were passing the blame to each other like headless flies, the Prime Minister's Office had already begun to make these detailed preparations.
In silence,
Master Wanxiang and the Great Elder stood up almost at the same time, and the Great Elder cupped his hands:
"Sir, this matter involves serious matters, and we need to return to the clan."
Although you are the sect leader and great elder, they have no power to make decisions about this amount of money.
Because many of the properties on this list belong to other families in the sect.
"sure."
Xu Yuan shrugged, indicating that he was casual, and then under the gaze of the two of them, he ordered Xu Xinyao behind him:
"Xiao He, come and clean up the dregs of this Jingxun body."
The meaning is very clear. You can discuss it as you like, but I have to remind you that the Black Scale Army will attack the city in two quarters of an hour.
Hearing this, the great elder frowned very keenly:
"Sir, can you please extend your time?"
Xu Yuan shook his head and said helplessly:
"Great Elder, there is no joke in the army. Although I am willing to do such things as changing orders every day, I will not be tolerated by foreign military orders."
Without saying another word, they all bowed. The two old men took Zhou Xiaohe's body out of the Xuanyin Pavilion, then turned into two afterimages and rushed towards the depths of the mountain gate.
Seeing the two figures disappear from sight, Xu Yuan sighed and sank into the soft couch behind him, and ordered to Xu Xinyao beside him:
"Go and inform the people in front that we will take a detour directly to Dongcheng."
"What?"
Xu Xinyao spoke for the first time at this time, and asked hesitantly: "Aren't we waiting for them here?"
Xu Yuan rolled his eyes and said helplessly:
"There is no need for us to stay here. If they agree, they will naturally go to Dongcheng to find us. If they don't agree, we will just wait for death if we stay here."
After saying that, Xu Yuan waved his hand towards Xu Xinyao:
"Go ahead."
"."
Xu Xinyao was silent for a while, bowed, turned and walked out of the wing.
Looking at Xu Xinyao's graceful back, Xu Yuan suddenly said:
"Xin Yao, do you see clearly the ugliness of the sect now?"
Xu Xinyao's body stiffened slightly.
Xu Yuan laughed: "Okay, no need to answer, just have the answer in your heart."
After saying that, Xu Xinyao walked out of the attic silently.
When the door of the wing room was closed, Xu Yuan felt that the soft couch beside him sank a little, and the charming fragrance of flowers came again.
Lou Ji's two looming jade legs are intertwined, her legs are crossed, her jade feet are half exposed, and her high-heeled lotus boots are swaying:
"Changtian, do you think they will agree?"
Xu Yuan smelled the fragrance of the flowers, chuckled and replied:
"Of course I will give it. Ninety million won't shake their foundation. Even if someone wants to kill everything, others in their sect will not agree."
Lou Ji smiled when she heard this, lowered her eyes and played with her long and sharp nails:
"You've thought it through quite well, but Changtian, you were giving orders to Yuan Hao just now~"
Xu Yuan glanced sideways at the old aunt and smiled slightly:
"Sister, are you worried that Yuan Hao will not obey orders?"
Lou Ji nodded and said with a smile:
"That guy will probably be impatient after receiving your order. To Yuan Hao, the current Vientiane City is like a naked hustler to an eager pervert~"
Xu Yuan shook his head:
"Although that guy Yuan Hao is a little crazy, he is still capable of fighting. Even if he is given an order, he has to wait until the follow-up reinforcements enter the city. No matter how much they are urged, it will take two-quarters of an hour."
Speaking of which,
Xu Yuan grinned:
"Besides, aren't I already preparing to go to Dongcheng?"
Lou Jifeng narrowed her eyes:
"So, what you just said was to scare those two old men?"
Xu Yuan was silent for a while and sighed:
"Not really, but war would be better avoided if it could be avoided."
"Is it because I can't bear it?" Lou Ji asked with interest.
"."
Xu Yuan did not speak immediately. He rubbed his knuckles gently. After a while, he shook his head:
"It's not necessary to say these things, but there are also reasons for this."
When Lou Ji heard this, she raised her hand and touched his head softly, and whispered softly:
"Chang Tian is so kind."
Xu Yuan chuckled, staring at his hands with lowered eyes. There was no emotion in his voice:
"No, the main reason why I am unwilling to take action is because the profit will be very low. The reason why our plan is implemented so quickly is largely due to calculations and unintentional calculations. The desperate resistance of the Wanxiang Sect will destroy everything. Our Casualties will increase.
“Even if we win, Vientiane City will be completely turned into battlefield ruins, and the treasury inside their mountain gate will most likely be burned down by them in a desperate situation.
"and,
"Even if there is a legitimate reason, destroying the Wanxiang Sect will affect the attitude of the world's sects towards us. Otherwise, it will make them relax their vigilance."
After all,
Xu Yuan raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, and looked sideways, only to find Lou Ji staring at him without blinking:
"What, did I say something wrong?"
Lou Ji has a pair of beautiful eyes with two crescent moons:
"Changtian, you have really become more handsome."
Xu Yuan rolled his eyes:
"Can you see my face even with a mask on?"
"Sister, of course I am referring to your behavior."
Lou Ji said quietly, and then suddenly asked: "By the way, Changtian, why do you insist on killing the sect leader's daughter?"
"To make the sect leader feel the pain." Xu Yuan replied directly without thinking.
Lou Ji nodded in agreement:
"That's a reason. Sister, I'm not happy with him calling her that."
Xu Yuan's eyes looked a little strange when he heard this.
Lou Ji pinched him angrily:
"What are you doing? Although my sister is a little bit cunning, she still has a conscience~"
Ah, yes, yes.
Xu Yuan rolled his eyes in his heart.
Lou Ji hummed softly, rolled up a strand of hair on her temples with her slender fingers, and curled it on her fingertips, with a hint of reminiscence in her eyes:
"My sister used to be a pariah among these sects. Isn't it strange that she feels unhappy?"
Xu Yuan understood clearly when he heard the words: "It's not surprising."
The next moment,
Lou Ji suddenly came up to Xu Yuan, stared at him and said with a smile: "But for you, Changtian, this reason is not enough."
After a moment of silence, Xu Yuan still said truthfully:
"I know that Zhou Xiaohe."
"."
Lou Ji understood Xu Yuan's intention in an instant. After all, he was doing intelligence.
Silence.
But looking at Xu Yuan's expression, she was very considerate and said nothing.
Xu Yuan lowered his eyes and whispered:
"She and another person met Ran Qingmo and I in Shengshan County. Although they didn't recognize our true identities, she could recognize us at any time based on our identities."
"Well done." Lou Ji praised.
Xu Yuan exhaled and looked in the direction of Shengshan County, noncommittal:
"In order to save the people, the two of them traveled thousands of miles to Shengshan County to help the border army kill demons. But now, her choice is also correct."
When Lou Ji heard this, she raised her hand and pulled Xu Yuan's head to rest on her shoulder, stroked his hair, and said softly:
"Changtian, don't think so much. Your eldest brother and your father have done a good job. If you have different opinions, you can kill them. If you don't kill them, they will kill you in turn."
Speaking, Lou Ji paused and said in detail:
"Come, tell sister the name of the other person."
"died."
Xu Yuan said softly: "That person is a fool. He cannot accept what his sect has done. He insists on going to Shengshan County to kill monsters to atone for his sins. It is a time when there is a wave of monsters. There is a high probability that he has died in the battle now."
Speaking of this, Xu Yuan sighed:
"Xin Yao's belief is probably because of the existence of these people."
Lou Ji raised her eyebrows when she heard this. She didn't say anything or ask any questions. She just gently stroked Xu Yuan's head in her arms, but she had already silently remembered this person in her heart.
The Day of Death is very good and admirable.
But for Changtian's safety, she had to confirm that this person had died under the tide of monsters.
Wanxiang Sect, meeting hall.
After the list was briefly circulated, the senior management of Vientiane exploded.
Although blood has begun to ooze from their necks, this does not affect their unwillingness to give up their own interests.
The Master of Wanxiang Sect and the Great Elder looked silently at the commotion and discussion below.
"Ninety million taels? They are trying to destroy the foundation of my Wanxiang Sect!"
"Sect Master, even if we win a complete war with our Wanxiang Sect, the Prime Minister's Office will not be able to gain any benefits! Let's fight! The Prime Minister's Office will not dare!"
"I think we can consider negotiating, but we have to pay in installments. Some of the industries on this list can be handed over. Those industries that are needed for the lives of untouchables can be given to them, but important industries such as monsters, formations, and medicinal materials must not be given to them. If they were given, they would shake our foundation.”
"What do you mean?! Those agricultural and sideline equipment industries belong to our Gu family. Why don't you say that you should hand over the monster industry?!"
"Monsters? You are embarrassed to mention it. This is the foundation of the sect. If there are no large-scale monster breeding grounds, the Demon Meridian Chamber of Commerce will directly lose its supply of goods, and the sect's income will be greatly affected! Not to mention that we need military reorganization Army, you also saw the flying monsters that attacked today."
"We only have two quarters of an hour, you still want to argue?!"
The master of Wanxiang Sect gave a loud shout, and his gloomy gaze swept across the people below, and then fell on the fifth Xia Wenlin, and his tone softened:
"Lao Wu, what do you think about this matter?"
Xia Wenlin had been listening silently. After hearing this, he stood up, bowed his hands to the elders, and said quickly:
"We must try our best to preserve the industry. These assets are chickens that can lay eggs."
"I just did a little calculation in my mind. The sect's accumulation over the years can probably produce tens of millions of cash in one go. It may actually be more. Putting it all together, we can barely come up with around 20 million taels. There is still about 70 million taels short of 90 million.”
The Wanxiang Sect has existed for thousands of years and has developed so far. It has gained a lot of benefits, but it has also spent a lot of money.
After all, cultivation consumes the most resources, and the welfare of the disciples of the sect is excellent.
Speaking of this, Xia Wenlin bowed his hand and said:
"My Xia family is willing to donate one million taels to help the sect tide over the difficulties."
The words fell, and there was silence.
Donate money?
Donate farts.
The faces of the Wanxiang Sect Master and the Great Elder turned gloomy when they saw the silent crowd.
Below are all the helmsmen of the aristocratic families. Except for those handed over to the sect, these people usually enjoy many benefits.
But now that things are coming to an end, they have already felt that many people below are starting to make small calculations about the starting point.
For a long time,
The great elder spoke:
"If the sect does not exist, those properties will be the meat of other sect families. The Nie family will donate three million taels."
The sect leader also spoke:
"Everyone, please think carefully. My Zhou family will also donate three million taels."
After hearing what the two leaders said, although they were very reluctant, the elders below also donated some money more or less.
After Xia Wenlin listened carefully, he took a long breath:
"Now that we have collected 40 million taels, we need to set aside part of it as a backup. The cash cannot be cut off. Once it is cut off, many industries will not be able to operate."
"How much is left?" Master Wanxiang asked in a deep voice.
Xia Wenlin said nothing and looked at He Jigu opposite:
"I am not in charge of the Chamber of Commerce. I have to ask Elder He and others about this matter."
Although he was fighting for power and profit, He Jigu was still very good at doing business. He made some calculations in his heart and replied quickly:
"Considering that part of the industry must be mortgaged, the impact of these gaps must be at least tens of millions."
After hearing this, Xia Wenlin asked:
"Elder He, sixty million taels is roughly equivalent to how much of our clan's property is?"
He Ji thought about it for a moment and replied:
"According to the market price, it is about 30%. If we lose 30% of our industry, although our sect's vitality will be seriously damaged, it will not shake its foundation. The Prime Minister's Office is sure that we will not die because of this matter."
When Xia Wenlin heard this, he let out a long sigh:
"It is no longer helpful to talk about this matter now. The purpose of the Prime Minister's government's industry must be to enter Xizezhou. They will definitely intervene in industries such as banks and chambers of commerce. We must prepare in advance."
He Jigu raised his eyebrows:
"Asset transfer?"
Xia Wenlin shook his head and pointed to the directory on the desk:
"If the Prime Minister's Office can find out these things, it must have been prepared for a long time. A little trick like transferring assets is naturally impossible, but we can do something about the shopkeepers and shopkeepers at the bottom.
"Also, we have to dispose of the building materials of the ghost-catching array as soon as possible, and we have to get the person who was captured alive, otherwise we will have to be controlled by others."
After all,
Xia Wenlin raised his hand towards the Wanxiang Sect Master:
"Sect Master, things have become like this now. We need to be prepared for the impact. I will give you a detailed plan when I come down."
A few minutes late again
