Jingxi is the place where Shen Hao started his career, and it is also the place he has been focusing on for many years now. He is very familiar with both the local government and various yamen in various places. Even the sect in Jingxi is the part he knows best.
Therefore, if there are any new actions, Shen Hao is used to testing them in Jingxi first to see how effective they are and what are the inadequacies and deficiencies. Then he will repeatedly revise and adjust them, and then push them to the final stage after they are sure to be stable. other places.
There are many benefits to doing this, and at the same time, Jingxi is enough for Shen Hao to use for trial and error. It shows more prudent means.
But this time Shen Hao called Wang Yiming and ordered him to go on, which was a new attempt. And the purpose is not just for the Black Flag Battalion, but to make some preliminary arrangements for him to take over the position of commander of Xuanqing Guard in the future.
"Sir, I don't understand, wouldn't it be abrupt and inappropriate to worship the mountain as a subordinate?" Wang Yiming's idea was also very simple. Jing Jiuchao has always been at odds with the sect circle, and the only one that has contact with the sect is Fenghong Villa, plus there is currently an employment agreement with some small sects. But no official from the Jingjiu Dynasty would ever "reciprocate" with the monks in the sect, right?
According to Master Shen, you want to reciprocate with courtesy, right?
Shen Hao knew that this matter had to be explained clearly to Wang Yiming, otherwise Wang Yiming would not be able to turn around, because it involved more than just the Black Flag Camp and Xuanqing Guard.
"What do you think is the most unbreakable thing between people?"
"Loyalty! A subordinate's loyalty to your Lord is the most unbreakable thing!" Wang Yiming blurted out almost without thinking.
Shen Hao was stunned, opened his mouth, pressed his hand to signal Wang Yiming to sit down, shook his head and said: "That's good, but don't say this again next time."
Do you think you are Feilong? Do you know that your flattery is extremely blunt?
Hearing this, Shen Hao twisted his body and felt goosebumps all over his body.
After Wang Yiming, who thought his reaction was brilliant, sat down again, Shen Hao said: "There are two things that are most unbreakable between people. One is blood family affection, and the other is generous interests. Under normal circumstances, if these two kinds of ties exist, the relationship between people will become different.
Blood ties are not practical for us and those sects, but the latter bond can be achieved. Interest, long-term and stable interest can tie those sects to our ship. Over time, when they get used to the benefits of this kind of interest, it will become very difficult for them to leave us, even like peeling off their skin. "
Wang Yiming understood a little after hearing this, and understood that Lord Shen wanted him to maintain the relationship with each sect. After all, you have to show up even if you give benefits to let the other party understand who gave them the benefits, otherwise there will be no consequences. If you get money, won't your reputation be cheap to others?
But what is the reason for doing this?
As a member of the Xuanqing Guards, why is the Black Flag Battalion trying to establish relations with those small sects? Wang Yiming still doesn't understand.
Shen Hao saw the confusion on Wang Yiming's face and continued to explain: "One of the biggest shortcomings in Xuanqing Guards is that we lack enough monks. This also leads to the fact that we need to rely on battle formations, talismans and even the lives of our brothers to fight. . Just like the previous corrupt situation in the country, if there were enough monks in the Xuanqing Guard, do you think those evil monks and evil spirits could push the country to that point?
The country does not lack resources, but it lacks people, people with spiritual talents. And these people have been pinched several times by the sect for thousands of years, and finally it was our Xuanqing Guard and the army's turn. This is the crux of the matter.
Do you understand me? "
When it comes to this, if Wang Yiming still doesn't understand, he, the deputy commander of the Black Flag Battalion, will stop doing this and nod his head repeatedly to show that he understands. However, after hesitating for a while, Wang Yiming still asked: "Sir, will we cause any trouble if we go to worship the mountain directly? After all, the sect circle and us..."
Wang Yiming was interrupted by Shen Hao raising his hand before he could finish his words.
"You can understand things in the sect circle by yourself, whether you ask Wang Jian or observe by your own eyes and ears from various places, but this is not something you can interfere with. You only need to implement it, maintain the relationship well, and let those sects know that it is us We should continue to deliver benefits to them, but also make them dependent on the benefits we give them. For this reason, you can even be more lenient in the "remuneration" given to them.
Of course, you need to record the other party's reaction and all subsequent problems, including your subsequent solutions and results. I need Jingxi to give me a context that can be used as a reference. Can you do it? "
Wang Yiming immediately stood up straight. The thing itself didn't sound difficult. To put it bluntly, it was just to use the benefits to tie up those sects that were already connected with the Black Flag Camp. This is not difficult to understand, and there are no other considerations about the sects. He'll take care of it. Therefore, Wang Yiming had nothing to hesitate about this kind of thing. He directly made a guarantee and was confident to complete this task.
After receiving the task, Wang Yiming left, and Shen Hao continued to sit in his seat and think about it.
Now with Bai Wu's help, Shen Hao no longer needs to consider all the plans for Qing Chi and Lang San. There is no problem in the general direction, but he can just pay more attention to the details.
Shen Hao used the nearly two months before the opening of the underground palace to prepare and plan some affairs related to the Xuanqing Guard. There were many things to be done ahead of time. Otherwise, if he didn't do it until the end, he would have less room to maneuver in the event of an unexpected incident, which would be easy. Freeze yourself.
I never thought that I would take over as the commander of Xuanqing Guard so soon. Even though he had the goal of "commander" in his plan, the fastest plan would be twenty or thirty years later, so Shen Hao He has always been planning things closely with the Black Flag Camp, and has rarely included the entire Xuanqing Guard.
Now, after an unexpected encounter, taking over as the commander of Xuanqing Guard has been decided within the past two years, and is even a certainty. Then you must take a long-term and broader view.
Before he became the commander of the Black Flag Battalion, Shen Hao prepared black water for himself, and also prepared a long-term plan to eliminate evil monks, including but not limited to "preaching in remote areas", so that after he took over as the commander of the Black Flag Battalion, Still seems handy.
Now if the long-standing "shortage of monks" problem of Xuanqing Guard can be broken, then Shen Hao will be able to sit firmly in the position of commander of Xuanqing Guard and no one can shake it.
What Wang Yiming was asked to do was actually based on this consideration. He was prepared to carry out more and in-depth cooperation with those sects that had already established a bridge with the officials of the Jingji Dynasty on the basis of the "employment agreement".
Of course, this kind of behavior will inevitably touch the bottom line in the sect circle. In the past, Shen Hao would not have dared to touch it. But now, it’s time to take advantage of the undercurrent in the sect circle to fish in troubled waters. Maybe if the clouds are cleared, a new world will emerge!
