The Fourth Lingshi Financial Crisis

Chapter 622 Qing Yunzong Financial Conference

At the same time that Yang Lu was "paying the price" to Tian Beixi, the Qingyun Sect, which was located not far from the Wuliang Mountains and was dominated by monks of the Transcendental School, also held a seemingly inconspicuous but far-reaching event. Martial finance meeting.

Compared with the financial meeting held by the Shanying faction before, the atmosphere of the meeting held by Qingyunzong now is even more serious. The elders who were called by the head of Qingyunzong Xia Qingyang to participate in the meeting all had solemn expressions, as if they were attending the meeting. It's not a financial meeting, but a memorial service for the head of the family.

Especially Elder Huang Huaicai, the head of the Duzhi Hall who was in charge of Qingyunzong's finances, had a gloomy face all the time, and was like a plague god, no one dared to approach him proactively.

Ever since he heard that his head held a high-level meeting suddenly, and he hadn't communicated with himself beforehand, Elder Huang had already realized that he might be in big trouble this time, so he just waited expressionlessly outside the sect's meeting hall , Waiting for Head Xia to announce the official start of the meeting, and then accept the torture from the same sect.

After almost all the elders attending the meeting arrived, Xia Qingyang's voice came from the main hall:
"It's almost time, let's start!"

Hearing this, all the elders looked at each other, seeing the seriousness in their eyes, and then filed in.

Just as the elders were entering the sect's discussion hall, Elder Huang intentionally slowed everyone down a step, stopped the direct disciple of Master Xia who was in charge of calling the meeting at the door, and asked in a low voice: "Master Xia suddenly called everyone for a meeting this time, What exactly do you want to do?"

Stared at by Elder Huang's stern eyes, the direct disciple of Master Xia hesitated for a long time, and then reluctantly replied: "Elder Huang, Master Xia did not intentionally not inform you, because of the financial shortfall, the old man's body has been damaged recently. There is also a lot of pressure, and today's financial meeting is held in the hope that everyone's doubts can be quelled. In my opinion, we should try our best to get through this time if we can, and we can just give you an explanation first. Think of a way slowly, it's best not to point the finger directly at Head Xia himself..."

Don't point the finger at Head Xia?
Isn't that just letting him, the head of finance of the sect, take the blame?

Noticing Elder Huang's unkind eyes, Head Xia's direct disciple smiled wryly: "There must be a way for the car to reach the mountain. If Elder Huang can consider the overall situation, Head Xia will naturally not treat you badly!"

When Elder Huang heard this, his face suddenly became cloudy and uncertain.

However, he did not give a clear answer in the end, but silently followed the rest of the elders into the meeting hall.

After all the people arrived, Xia Qingyang, the head of the Qingyun Sect who was sitting at the head of the sect, picked up a document at hand, shook it, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone can come here for a meeting today. The predicament must be very clear. According to the data I have, last year, the total income of Qingyun Sect sect was 324 million Lingshi coins, the total expenditure was 2788 million Lingshi coins, and the total deficit was 2464 million Lingshi coins. Now we Don't talk about paying the disciple's monthly salary, I'm afraid it will be difficult to even pay off the loan interest of various banks!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone turned their attention to Elder Huang who was standing at the end of the line.

Elder Huang also knew that he would not be able to pass this test no matter what, so he took a step forward and responded: "It's not a day's cold to freeze three feet, and it took hundreds of years for Qingyunzong's finances to be completed. It has deteriorated to the point where it is today..."

Xia Qingyang said lightly: "It is said that Elder Huang is good at managing money, and everyone is waiting for Elder Huang to think of a way!"

Huang Huai coughed lightly, and said slowly: "The so-called financial management is nothing more than two means of increasing income and reducing expenditure. In the past few hundred years, our Qing Yunzong has scraped three feet in the jurisdiction, and even the 'mortal single tax' They were all paid to three-year-old children, and there is really no way to dig out more tax sources. As for throttling... I am willing to waive my salary to overcome difficulties. Not receiving a monthly salary, it’s not up to me, the elder of the Duzhi Hall, to decide!”

The elders of Duzhitang couldn't do it, the subtext actually said that the head of the matter should be responsible for it!
Seeing that Huang Huai disregarded the school's political rules and dared to blame himself, especially this move of exempting his salary and using retreat as a means of advancement was extremely vicious. It was equivalent to setting himself, the head of the sect, on the fire. I couldn't help but narrowed my eyes slightly.

Although Qing Yunzong was so poor that it was almost impossible to get rid of it, the head of Xia knew very well that the group of high-ranking sects in front of him and the cultivation family behind them were all extremely rich, even if Huang Huaicai and the others did not receive a monthly salary It will not affect the income of their own private property, but if those grassroots disciples do not receive a monthly salary, it may be difficult to purchase even the most basic cultivation resources.

You can't let all the disciples go out to work!
Because of this, on the surface, Huang Huai seemed to be giving up his family for everyone, but in Xia Qingyang's view, this was clearly a deliberate attempt to avoid the important and ignore the minor, and shift the conflict.

So Xia Qingyang knocked on the armrest of his chair, and immediately retorted: "The monthly salary system is the foundation of the sect's existence. We owe our disciples several months' monthly salary to the limit. How can we just refuse to pay it? If we can't even pay the monthly salary, What is the meaning of this sect?"

Seeing that Head Xia continued to exert pressure, Huang Huai said helplessly: "With the current financial situation of Qing Yunzong, if we don't reduce the disciple's monthly salary by more than [-]%, there is no way to substantially turn the situation around!"

This time, before the head of Xia opened his mouth, an elder from the direct line of the head of Xia jumped out and questioned: "Seventy percent? What are you kidding! Today's disciples of the Qingyun Sect have not eaten or drank for decades before they can afford to buy a house." Qi San, if the monthly salary is reduced by [-]%, can ordinary Qing Yunzong disciples still advance to the middle stage of Qi refining?"

No wonder this person reacted so strongly.

At the beginning, the Shanying faction cut the disciples' monthly salaries by [-]%, which caused an uproar in the public opinion in Tianshu City, and even forced the head of Chenming to consider selling Ye Chen, who had been trained for more than [-] years, to the Haiya faction, although Ye Chen was also among them. The reason is no longer under Chen Ming's control, but it can also be seen how much resistance is faced by reducing the disciple's monthly salary.

As the ZTE master of the sect, Chen Ming's status in the Mountain Eagle Sect was much higher than Xia Qingyang's status in Qing Yunzong. Even Chen Ming couldn't move things, let alone Xia Qingyang?
Huang Huai first proposed that everyone can overcome the difficulties together without receiving monthly salary, and then proposed to reduce the monthly salary of all disciples by [-]%. In the eyes of other senior Qingyun sect officials, this was clearly playing rogue, and had no intention of seriously solving the problem at all.

However, Huang Huaicai had no choice but to continue to retort: ​​"Cultivation Dao, how can it all be supported by sects? Elder Ma, I heard that your family has a lot of dual-cultivation furnaces, all of them are female disciples of the Qingyun Sect who came from poor backgrounds." , I see that this is also a kind of financial assistance for ordinary disciples, it is simply a boundless merit!"

"you……!"

Hearing that Huang Huaicai exposed his family's scandal in public, Elder Ma's face turned pale when he just opened his mouth to refute. He didn't expect that Huang Huaicai would dare to speak out such a scandal in public.

Although accepting those young disciples who have just passed the Immortal Ascension Conference, but do not have enough financial resources, is already an unspoken rule of the high-level sects. It is a professional stove, but putting the unspoken rules on the table is a kind of humiliation in itself.

Seeing that his hypocrite-like colleagues are full of "needs, wants, and more", but they don't want to take any responsibility, and just criticize him blindly from the moral high ground, Huang Huaicai is completely willing to go all out.

Elder Ma just wanted to reprimand this kind of behavior without martial ethics, but Huang Huaicai didn't give him this opportunity, and continued to say: "In these years, there are not a few disciples who secretly run part-time jobs outside the sect. Since open source is not good, There is no way to save money, and you still want me to solve the problem. In my opinion, it is better to legalize the external part-time jobs that the disciples of the sect hold, and let everyone find their own way of making money. The sect's financial burden."

Hearing this proposal, Xia Qingyang stood up on the spot, and sternly refuted it: "It's a bunch of nonsense! If all of our Qingyun sect disciples took on private jobs openly, who would provide the most basic public services for Qingyun City? The management of Yuncheng is in chaos, leading to a large-scale humanitarian disaster, none of us high-level Qingyunzong can escape, and we will all go crazy in the end!"

Seeing the sect master getting angry, all the elders lowered their heads one after another.

It's just that, although these people's expressions are respectful, most of them don't think so in their hearts. After all, the judgment rules of Kyushu Tiandao are still very intelligent.

If, as Master Xia said, a humanitarian disaster occurs in the Qingyun City area in the future, the first unlucky ones must be the two chief culprits, Master Xia and Huang Huaicai.

That being the case, why are they anxious for Head Xia?
In the eyes of the high-level comprehension sects of "dead fellows never die poor daoists", Head Xia will definitely not sit still and wait for death.Even if we take ten thousand steps back, even if Master Xia really went mad, it's still too late for everyone to think of a way!
Seeing that everyone was pretending to be deaf and dumb here, Head Xia had no choice but to point the finger at Huang Huaicai again: "Elder Huang, if Qing Yunzong really has troubles because of financial problems, do you think you, the elder of the branch branch, can escape? ?”

After being bombarded by the master continuously, Huang Huai was outraged:

I'm the only co-author, right?

So he finally made up his mind, loudly raised his voice, and replied loudly: "Qingyunzong's financial problems are serious and hard to recover. Is it the fault of Huang? For hundreds of years, Qingyunzong's finances have been overspending year after year. Where are the flowers, don't the head and the elders have any clues in their hearts?"

"Huang Huaicai, what do you mean?"

Hearing someone questioning himself, Huang Huai laughed and said, "If you hadn't been greedy for so much money from the sect, wouldn't you have all drank the northwest wind and cultivated to the foundation stage? Everyone is the elder of the Qingyun Sect, and there is no need for anyone to pretend Foreign guests, if you are capable, take off your storage bags now, and let the boss see how much private money you have saved!"

As soon as the map gun was fired, the public opinion in the conference hall suddenly went into an uproar:
"Nonsense, we all make money by our skills!"

"The family inherits our responsibility from generation to generation. Our family ancestors also had the accumulation of hundreds of years through struggle. Why should we lose to those ordinary cultivators who only have spiritual roots!"

"The Cultivation Chamber of Commerce opened by our family is a well-known millennium-old store in Qingyun City. It earns a lot of hard money. Elder Huang, don't be bloody!"

Huang Huai only sneered when he saw the clumsy performance of these guys, but he didn't refute. After all, no matter how much he refuted, it was impossible to wake up the people who pretended to be asleep.

So Huang Huai turned directly to Master Xia, and said loudly: "Master Xia! The current plan is for all the elders to take out their family assets and help the sect's finances to tide over the difficulties first, otherwise you will steal my house. You can't block this big hole!"

Sure enough, another elder jumped out and threatened, "Oh? Do you really think we dare not raid your home?"

Huang Huai just glanced at this person, thinking to himself that you have finally met him, but a smile appeared on his face, and he laughed loudly: "This is the end, it's useless if you force me anymore, the old man is already alive." Not much, even if you are crazy, you will admit it! And to tell you the truth, I, Huang Huai, have only been in charge of the sect's finances for more than [-] years, and I have indeed taken a lot of money that should not be taken, but I am afraid that none of you have taken less than me! These days, I have transferred all my assets to outlying islands, and my family has been arranged by the Sea Cliff Chamber of Commerce to take refuge in the sea, so I have no intention of leaving here alive! Don’t think that if you push me to a dead end, the sect’s finances will improve, you guys Selfish guy, no one can escape in the end!"

As the financial director of Qing Yunzong, Huang Huaicai has been a villain for more than 20 years. Now that he has been forced to a dead end, he doesn't care so much. This desperate venting can be regarded as an expression of his years of resentment .

But after Elder Huang broke the pot and smashed it like this, the others didn't know what to say about him. After all, this guy is not even afraid of death, so why should he be scolded by everyone?

In the end, it was Master Xia who took the initiative to break the silence.

If it is said that the sect's financial collapse, the first responsible person is Huang Huaicai, and the second responsible person is undoubtedly himself. After Huang Huaicai used this trick to break the jar, the pressure came to Xia Qingyang, because the head of Xia did not have him This kind of consciousness that sees death as home.

What's more, Huang Huaicai's scolding can be regarded as scolding Master Xia's heartfelt words. If Qing Yunzong's subordinates were not full of such insects, how could things have developed to this point?
After a little deliberation on his words, Xia Qingyang took the initiative to comfort him: "Elder Huang, it's not an option to give up on yourself blindly. I called everyone to a meeting, not to make anyone responsible, but to solve the problem..."

Hearing Xia Qingyang's shameless speech turning his face like a book, Huang Huaicai was not only not angry, but also heaved a long sigh of relief:

This trick of his was put to death and then reborn, and it was done!

Wiping the cold sweat off his forehead, Huang Huai pretended that he hadn't made that violent comment just now, and cupped his hands respectfully and said, "Master, I will do whatever you say!"

Xia Qingyang paused word by word and said: "Elder Huang, don't we have no family property to sell off our huge Qing Yunzong? As long as we can tide over the difficulties temporarily and don't be the first sect to make trouble, I can find Lin Jianxing to take charge of it again." Let me help you figure out a way..."
