“The third item actually affects each other and the fourth item, so let’s talk about them together!”
I originally thought that I could attract others and let everyone bloom, but now it is obvious that the elders are a little bit reluctant to let go in front of Zhang Xiaosheng. Whether they are deliberately avoiding it, being cautious in their words and deeds, or having ulterior motives, everything Zhang Xiaosheng says is just agreement. , Zhang Xiaosheng couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
But no matter what, I have already considered it carefully. Since these people can't make suggestions at this time, I just follow them and solve them when problems arise.
Therefore, Zhang Xiaosheng did not intend to make a long speech and told the remaining two things together.
"The remaining two things are the market and the cultivation family. Originally, the market was within the area of each sect, and each sect had its own commission. But now that the sects are integrated, so many markets seem messy and wasteful. Therefore, I intend to cancel all the small cities and those that are relatively close to each other, leaving only sixteen places, two in each of the eight directions, as long as the distance is appropriate."
"Fangshi will be..." Zhang Xiaosheng paused and looked at everyone.
The expressions of the elders below were different. Some lowered their heads secretly as if they were afraid of being called out, while others looked at Zhang Xiaosheng with expectant expressions.
"Elder Chiduochi will be in charge, and elders Xu Jingxu and Huang Xuanhuang will assist."
"Yes!" Chiduo responded with fists clasped first.
Chi Duo felt a little grateful, but there were not too many surprises. The previous two matters were all handed over to the sect leader who had a good relationship with the Five Elements Sect. Chi Duo knew that Zhang Xiaosheng would definitely not forget him. Sure enough, he left the city in charge of himself.
Xu Jing was originally in charge of the Five Elements Sect City, so on the way back, Zhang Xiaosheng had already conveyed a message to him and told him that Chi Duo was originally the leader of the Scarlet Blood Sect and was at the eighth level of the Golden Core. Naturally, it was more appropriate for him to take the lead. He responded. After Zhang Xiaosheng's appointment, he couldn't help but look at Chi Duo.
Chi Duo happened to also look over, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
Chi Duo also understood in his heart that although Xu Jing was only at the fourth level of the Golden Core, he was an old man from the Five Elements Sect after all. There was a difference between being close and distant, so it was better to communicate with him more when something happened.
The most unexpected thing was Huang Xuan. He never expected that Zhang Xiaosheng would entrust him with such an important task.
"Why, Elder Huang is unwilling to contribute to the sect?" Seeing Huang Xuan's delay in replying, Zhang Xiaosheng pretended to be angry.
"Ah..." Huang Xuan woke up in surprise and hurriedly said: "I don't dare, but I didn't expect... I didn't expect..."
"Didn't you expect that I would reuse you?" Zhang Xiaosheng laughed and said:
"Zhang is not a petty person. The grievances between Jinjian Sect and Five Elements Sect have been resolved in the past, but I have to say that it turns out that Jinjian Sect is really unique in the management of the city. Nowadays, things in Five Elements Sect are in chaos. Under the premise of ensuring loyalty, Zhang employs people in an eclectic way!"
"Sect Master Shengming!" Everyone shouted in unison.
Huang Xuan was also a little shocked, his lips moved for a long time, and finally he bowed and said:
"My subordinates understand and are willing to serve the sect!"
Zhang Xiaosheng nodded and said:
"However, things in Fangshi are very complicated. You can select available people to assist you among the people from each sect originally stationed in Fangshi. As for which Fangshi will be cancelled, which will be merged, and which will be retained, you will investigate clearly within a month and get a Just report your opinion to me."
"I obey!" The three people who were entrusted with the important task agreed at the same time.
"By the way, all the previous sects' shops in the markets have been merged. As for how many shops to open in each of the remaining sixteen markets, you must also be aware of it."
Before the three people could respond, Zhang Xiaosheng continued:
"It used to be that each city had different taxes on other cultivator families. Now the sects are unified and unified into 20%, which is easier for you to manage. However, individual cultivators can only charge 10% for setting up stalls. You can also set up a centralized collection of scattered cultivators. Repair shops that sell items and have them appraised and recycled by experts!”
"yes!"
Zhang Xiaosheng has had this idea for a long time. Although most of the street stall goods are ordinary, there are often some uncommon treasures that are picked up and missed. If the sect collects them all, even if they don't open for three years, they can make money just by opening once. The pots are full.
What's more, the entire south of the Hengduan Mountains is now monopolized by the Five Elements Sect. Even if ordinary things are recovered, they are not afraid of being smashed into their hands.
The elders kept thinking about what the sect leader was doing with the junk from those casual cultivators. However, he was a lot more relaxed about the cultivators' families. Previously, each sect's minimum tax for cultivators opening shops in Fangshi was 30%, and some even charged 50%. The tax on casual cultivators setting up stalls is as much as 20%.
With such a tax cut, aren’t we afraid that our income will be greatly reduced?
But obviously they can't worry about these things at this time, they just think about it briefly.
"The cultivation family is also an indispensable force!" Zhang Xiaosheng's voice sounded again:
"Originally, the relationship between the various sects and the cultivator families was a bit subtle, and they seemed to be in charge but not in charge. However, the extremely high taxes would inevitably lead to the prices of resources sold by these cultivator families to be inflated, and few cultivators could afford them. Such resources It is inconvenient to circulate, and it also greatly affects the transaction volume of resources. Although the tax rate is high, it actually does not collect much, and it will also affect the promotion of monks within the entire sect's sphere of influence."
"So from now on, each cultivating family will be ranked according to their tax amount each year. The person ranked first can send five family members to come to the sect to practice for one year in the next year. The person ranked second can send three. The person in third place can send two people away, and the person in fourth to fifth place can send one person away!"
"The affairs of the Cultivation Family will be taken care of by Sect Master Yang Tiannan, with the assistance of Elders Yan Songyan and Duan Jiangzhe."
"Yes!" The three of them took the order at the same time.
Yang Tiannan had already agreed, and Yan Song and Duan Jiangzhe were originally the first elder and second elder of the outer sect of the Five Elements Sect, and were quite familiar with management matters.
Everyone had no idea about Zhang Xiaosheng's appointment, but they obviously didn't understand what he said.
Shouldn’t the tax rate be higher to collect more?
Moreover, they didn't quite believe what the clan leader said about hoarding resources. After all, all that could be sold were things unique to the family. They definitely had no shortage of them. If they didn't sell them all in exchange for the family's scarce resources, wouldn't they be able to keep the cubs?
Zhang Xiaosheng did not explain too much. The operation of capital is certainly not as simple as they thought. Although these cultivation families may not have summarized the theory as perfectly as later generations, they must have their own unique experience if they can still survive after passing it down for so many years. .
It turns out that the tax is so high, the more they sell, the more losses they will naturally have, so they only need to ensure family expenses. At the same time, they hoard a large amount of goods, causing a shortage in the market, so that they can sell at high prices.
Although everyone was confused, they didn't say much. Seeing Zhang Xiaosheng's confident look, they actually believed it for no reason. As for a few people who were disdainful, they couldn't bring it up in person, and they wished they could see it a year later. Zhang Xiaosheng's joke.
"Sect Master." Yang Tiannan stepped forward and said, "Although the tax ranking method is good, I wonder if it can stimulate these sects?"
Seeing that the others were silent, Yang Tiannan took the initiative to ask a question. Each family has its own martial arts. The competition among cultivation families is actually more cruel. Most of the resources are devoted to cultivating a very small number of outstanding disciples, so the resource ratio of these disciples is even far higher than that of other families. The inner disciples of the sect, after all, the sect must consider all the disciples.
The sect leader used such a method to stimulate, and he didn't know whether these cultivator families would buy it, so it was better to propose it earlier, lest others send a few disciples with average qualifications to deal with it, which would cause the sect leader's face to be lost.
PS: It will be opened soon! I think it’s reasonable to arrange the big-faced cat like this^_^
