"It doesn't matter." Shen Nansheng raised his left palm and said in a deep voice: "Whether the other two sects know it or not, they have little influence on our Jinding Sect. After all, we need to help others, so all the five major sects know it. Let’s discuss it based on the premise.”
His words set the tone for this Jindingtang meeting. The four deputy cabinet masters all stroked their beards and nodded in agreement.
"If all the five major sects know about it, the scale of this matter will be huge." Lin Zitang crossed his hands on the table, first looked at Shen Nansheng, and then swept his eyes from the faces of the other three people: "Look at the palms Senior Brother Men’s intention is to take this opportunity to influence those who are ‘creating a new sect’.”
"Haha, why is there a new sect? A bunch of ambitious people, thinking about destroying the orthodoxy of our Jinding Sect every day!"
When he mentioned the new sect, Sun Wang frowned, with a look of sullenness on his face, his beard twitched, and he snorted a few times from the tip of his nose: "I think the head brother did the right thing, this gang should have been touched long ago. Something!"
Among everyone present, apart from Shen Nansheng, Sun Wang was the oldest. He was a staunch "advocate of the ancients" and believed that people of the "new school" were clueless in doing things, thinking all day long about the pretense of change. The struggle for fame and power is a cancer in the family and must be eliminated as soon as possible.
After hearing this, Elder Wang frowned and said, "After all, we are all from the same sect, so it's just a matter of knocking."
"In this case, if a war breaks out this time, we should give priority to selecting the disciples of the new sect."
It was Lin Zitang who spoke, and Elder Zhang on the side frowned slightly after hearing this, stroking his chin with one hand and said: "It's better to be more balanced, we are all the same disciples, it would be bad if we overdo it and hurt the hearts of the disciples. "
"Yeah," Sun Wang agreed with a straight face. Although he always hated people from the new sect, what Elder Zhang said made sense, so he said, "But it still needs to be rectified. I can make a charter. , to make things look fair."
"Okay, that's it." Seeing that the discussion was almost done, Shen Nansheng made the decision: "There is no need to overdo it, just do it step by step, Junior Brother Sun, I will leave this matter to you."
"Yes." Sun Wang nodded in agreement, leaned back and said no more.
At this time, the factional tendencies of several people present could be clearly seen. Of the five people present, only Elder Wang and Elder Zhang belonged to the neutral "stability-maintaining faction", which advocated abandoning conflicts and not going to war. The other three, including Shen Nansheng, were all supporters of the "advocating the ancients faction". Even Elder Wang and Elder Zhang are both over ninety years old. They always advocate doing things slowly and steadily, so naturally they don't have much favorable impressions of the "new school" who advocate change.
But this is understandable. The Chuxin Sect was already weak in the Jinding Sect. Since Wang Xunzhi took office, various methods have been used. Due to the retreat in Rongfang Mountain, the Chuxin Sect lacked leaders and was unable to resist Wang Xunzhi's many methods. In just a dozen years, Most of the people who came out of the new faction were either sidelined or replaced from important positions.
Jinding Hall is divided into two cabinets, the inner and outer cabinets. The cabinet is the highest authority of the Jinding Sect. Generally, only the head and the Supreme Elder have the authority to convene. Under this circumstance, his left and right foreign cabinets have become very important organs of power. Naturally, Wang Xunzhi will not allow important positions in such organs to be occupied by people from the new faction.
Among the left and right outer cabinets of Jindingtang, only the right outer cabinet has a deputy chief who is a supporter of the new faction, but it has been completely ignored and has no substantial power. The two pavilion masters are both supporters of the Chonggu Sect. In this case, it is not difficult to understand why Rong Fangshan, the leader of the New Sect, chose to retreat to the Core Formation Stage. After all, the New Sect is too weak. To break the situation, the only way is to break through the pill-forming stage and defeat ten levels at once.
It's a pity that his preparations were too hasty after all. Now that he failed to attack the core forming stage, the new sect has no power to resist at all. If he wants to be rounded or squashed, he has to listen to the ancient sect.
"In addition, there is another matter about the affiliated forces of our sect." Shen Nansheng continued: "The war is about to start. According to the wishes of the head brother, we still focus on wooing these small forces, so we will not increase the allocation this time. , but we still need to discuss how to win over them. If you have any ideas, please speak up and listen."
"Well... I remember that next July is the birthday of the head of the Zhang family in Quanming Mountain. In addition, the Xionghu Gate in Ande Mountain will hold a ceremony to ascend to immortality in March next year." Lin Zitang showed some thinking on his face: "There are also some small and large forces. Each family has its own ceremony and conference, I think we can send out a few capable people from the sword hall and give them a generous gift."
"Well, this is possible." Elder Zhang added: "You can also find some young talents from various sects to marry my disciples, and also give them generous gifts to show that our sect can win over them. meaning."
"Yes, this is feasible." Shen Nansheng hummed, pondered for a moment, and then said: "However, we should not rush this matter, otherwise it will appear that our sect is weak. We just need to grasp the right balance."
"Senior brother, don't worry, I know what's appropriate."
"Okay," Shen Nansheng nodded and looked at Lin Zitang and Elder Zhang: "Then these two matters will be left to the two junior brothers respectively. If there are any problems, we will discuss them later."
"No problem, don't worry, senior brother."
"Okay, I'll start making arrangements when I get back."
Both elders nodded in agreement. Seeing this, Shen Nansheng nodded with satisfaction.
At this moment, Elder Wang on the side stroked his beard and said: "In my opinion, when it comes to wooing, it still comes down to the word 'profit'. It just so happens that the lease period of the shop in Fangshi is coming soon, so I I think we might as well take out a few more shops and workshops and share the power with our subordinates through the arena competition, so that they can be more dedicated to our sect."
About 30% of the shops in Jindingshanfang City are permanently leased properties belonging to various forces. The remaining 70% are rented out by Jinding Sect according to specific years. The lease terms are usually ten, fifteen and twenty years. Year. This year happens to be the year when the lease expires. About 30% of the shops have expired around this year.
"Divide the interests of the village..."
Shen Nansheng narrowed his eyes, pondered for a moment and then nodded slightly and said: "I have indeed thought about this. It is no problem to go to the store during the lease period, but the stock in the shop... In this way, I will report the matter to the boss first. Senior brother knows that you are going to write a charter in the next two days. In addition to my subordinates, you will also invite those from the surrounding companies. If there are any who are still unclear about the form, you are welcome. Just increase the share. "
After a pause, he sneered and looked at Elder Wang: "In addition, for those families who have an eye for each other with Wudaomen and Qiweimen, just touch their homes to give them a warning. You can decide the severity yourself."
"Okay, leave it to me." Elder Wang stroked his beard and nodded, agreeing.
