Chapter 260 Finance
Tangning nodded.

Du Yuankai continued: "The so-called mutual benefit! It is to make them fear you and respect you. How to make them fear you? When there are severe punishments, how to make them respect you? You need enough benefits, both are indispensable. .”

"The sect allocates [-] spirit stones every year, which is only enough for everyone's salaries and rewards. With our cultivation base, the salary alone is not enough to maintain the practice of pills. Let me tell you! The spiritual root qualifications are above average. , to enjoy Class C superior resources in the sect."

"In the middle stage of foundation establishment, the salary is [-] spirit stones per month, but I need [-] spirit stones per month for the pill, and the same is true for others. If there is no other way, relying on this salary How to practice?"

"Junior Brother Tang is in the sect, and there are still various rewards and subsidies from various departments, but when he leaves the sect, he has to rely entirely on himself to feed and clothe himself. Spirit stones cannot be produced out of thin air, so they can only be produced by the sect The door subsidizes this path."

"On average every year, this site will apply for a subsidy of [-] spirit stones from the Zongmen. I will be excluded from the [-] spirit stones. Fellow Daoist Xu and Daoist Zheng will assist in handling affairs, and naturally they will also have a share, and..."

Du Yuankai pointed to the top: "To apply for a subsidy from the Zongmen, you have to go through multiple departments for review and approval. Every procedure has to be plucked, and some offerings are left. Otherwise, any department that makes you a little bit of a stumbling block will be a problem. Don't even think about getting the subsidy smoothly, an offering on it is indispensable."

Tang Ning knew that this was an unwritten rule of the sect. Those departments that hold the key points of power and control the right to allocate resources, they had to be fed first.

It's just that he has never been in charge of financial and internal affairs, so he doesn't know the specifics.

Tang Ning said, "I've never managed financial matters, and I don't know how to handle them. I hope Senior Brother Du can enlighten me."

Du Yuankai said: "Applying for Lingshi subsidy from the Zongmen has to go through three procedures and four departments. The first is the Information Section. I will send the file report of the subsidy application to the Information Section. The courtyard will then submit the performance to Yuanyi Hall, and after Yuanyi Hall approves, the spirit stone subsidy can be allocated."

"With such a set of procedures, the intelligence department, the department directly under the secret precepts institute, the salary department of Yuanyi hall, and the palm print department of Yuanyi hall are indispensable. Do you understand?"

Tangning frowned and said, "I don't know how many they want to keep?"

Du Yuankai laughed and said, "Junior Brother Tang! You really are, what do you want me to say? How dare they withhold something that is clearly priced in black and white? The amount of Lingshi subsidy you applied for will definitely be handed over to you in full. Afterwards! You have to send it to them personally according to the proportion."

"Send it to them? I don't know who they are? What is the ratio? Senior Brother Du, please enlighten me."

"These people are naturally the principals of various departments. Brother Lu, the deacon of the Intelligence Department, Brother Tao, the director of the Department directly under the Secret Precepts Academy, Brother Jiang from the Salary Department of Yuanyi Hall, and Brother Sun from the Palm Printing Department of Yuanyi Hall. They don’t give approval to the department’s power, and the Lingshi subsidy they applied for can’t be paid no matter what. As for the specific ratio, each department takes half of it, which has been a rule for many years.”

Three procedures, four departments, each department draws half, that is, no matter how many spirit stone subsidies you apply for, [-]% must stay in the sect, and you can only get [-]%.

Tang Ning said, "Apart from that! How much did fellow Daoist Xu and fellow Daoist Zheng take?"

Du Yuankai said: "The upper offering is essential, and the lower one is up to you to arrange. According to the previous method, Fellow Daoist Xu and Fellow Daoist Zheng will each get [-]%. The other [-]% will be used as the fund for the entire organization."

"Under normal circumstances, we will apply to the Zongmen four times for a subsidy of spirit stones within ten years, [-] spirit stones each time. If there are too many applications at one time, it will not be easy to pass, so we will divide them into several times."

Tangning nodded, expressing her understanding.

There are four spirit stone subsidies in ten years, [-] each time, that is, [-] spirit stones, each branch of the sect gets [-]%, Xu Qingwan and Zheng Wei each get [-]%, and the station costs [-]%.Then the remaining [-]%, [-] spirit stones are undoubtedly his own.

"It's just right, this time I applied to the Zongmen for a subsidy of spirit stones. After the Zongmen approves the reply, you and I will go back to the Zongmen together. You will know some of the hidden things that are not humane." Du Yuankai shouted after he finished speaking. After coming to Kongji, after stamping and signing the dossier sent by Xu Qingwan, he asked him to present it to the sect with a black eagle.

Tangning got up to say goodbye, returned to her room, sat cross-legged and closed her eyes to practice.

For a period of time afterwards, Tangning followed Du Yuankai to deal with the daily affairs of the Silver Fox Intelligence Station. In fact, most of the time, there was nothing to do.

If it is not urgent and important information, each information point will submit it once a month and transfer it to Zheng Wei, who will then send Xuanying to send it.

Time flies, and two months have passed. On this day, Tangning was in Du Yuankai's room to assist him in handling affairs. The urgent information sent by the Beiyuan intelligence point said that Yang Zhenhe, the head of the Yang family in Beiyuan, had a lot of contact with unknown monks recently. Disciple of Demon Sect.

Beiyuan borders Longyou, and the Yang family's power is entrenched in the west of Beiyuan.

Now that the Patriarch of the Yang family, Yang Zhenhe, is in frequent contact with unknown monks, it is very likely that he wants to change his banner and join the Demon Sect.

Tangning's reply told them to keep an eye on the Yang family's every move, and report any news at any time.

Du Yuankai stamped and signed the dossier, and was about to hand it over to Kong Ji, when there was a knock on the door outside the house.

"Come in." Du Yuankai said

The door opened, and it was Kong Ji who came, holding a dossier in his hand: "Uncle Du, this is the dossier sent by the sect just now."

Tangning took the dossier from him and handed him the Beiyuan Yang family's intelligence dossier, "Send this dossier to the sect immediately."

"Yes." Kong Ji took the order and left.

Tang Ning tore open the seal of the dossier with a seal and signature, and took out the article inside, and saw that it said: The Zongmen has approved the Lingshi subsidy, and it has now been distributed to the department.Signed by Lu Xingxian.

"Senior Brother Du, the sect has approved the Lingshi subsidy we applied for last time." Tangning handed him the document.

Du Yuankai glanced at him and said, "It's finally approved, Junior Brother Tang, let's go now! I'll recommend those senior brothers for you, so you can go directly to them next time."

"it is good."

The two of them left the basement and vanished into light.After less than two days, he returned to the Zongmen, and first came to Lu Xingxian Cave Mansion on the Middle Finger Peak. Du Yuankai waved his hand, and a talisman was handed in through the thick fog.

Not long after, the thick fog cleared, and the two walked in and came to his main room.

"Junior Brother Du and Junior Brother Tang are here, please sit down!" Lu Xianxing sat cross-legged on the futon and made a gesture of invitation.

The two sat down one by one, and Du Yuankai said: "Senior brother Lu, this time the two of us are here because of the Lingshi subsidy approved by the sect. Since I received the message from Brother Lu Xuanying the day before yesterday, I have rushed here without stopping."

"I knew that Junior Brother Du would come in a few days, and the spirit stone is ready." Lu Xingxian turned his right hand and took out a storage bag and a piece of paper.

Du Yuankai took the storage bag, signed and sealed the clauses, and returned them to him.

"Brother Tang should be familiar with many things by now, right?" Lu Xingxian said

"Thanks to Brother Du for his careful guidance, but I'm still not very familiar with many things."

Lu Xingxian said: "Now the Demon Sect is concentrating on internal affairs and has no time for others. In addition, the two sects of Xuanmo and Xuanmo have not yet started the war, and they intend to rule the world. They will not make any big moves in a short time."

"My primary goal is to keep a close eye on the movements of those cultivating families. In recent years, many families have the intention to join the Demon Sect. If they say that they directly change their banners, they may not be so bold. They can secretly communicate with each other and collude. It must be guarded against."

"Especially those cultivating families that border on the power of the Demon Sect, such as the Zhu family in the Central Plains. If such an influential family falls to the Demon Sect, the loss to us will be immeasurable, so we must be particularly vigilant."

Du Yuankai said: "I am going to report to Senior Brother Lu that according to the information sent by the insider recently, Yang Zhenhe, the head of the Yang family in Beiyuan, has frequent contacts with unknown monks. He is suspected to be a disciple of the Demon Sect. The file has been submitted, but it seems that he has not yet arrived at the sect."

Lu Xingxian said: "I will send someone to investigate this matter. Now the Zongmen is most worried about the Zhu family. Brother Tang, after you take over, the main focus should be on the Zhu family. It is best to instigate a Zhu family. Brother Du, how is the grandson-in-law of the Zhu family who you instigated against now? Have you handed over to Brother Tang?"

Du Yuankai said: "All the insiders in my hands have been handed over to Junior Brother Tang. As for the eldest son-in-law of the Zhu family, the situation is not very good. He was pushed out by the Zhu family and sent to guard the quarry. He himself is getting depressed day by day. Drinking and having fun all day, not thinking about making progress, coupled with the fact that my cultivation has been stuck in the bottleneck for many years, I am afraid it will be difficult to achieve anything."

Lu Xingxian said: "You can help him as much as possible. After all, he is the only chess piece we have in Zhu's family. Besides, with his status, he may be of great use in the future. It would be a pity to waste it like this."

"Besides him, it's better to make another preparation, develop a Zhu family's child as an insider, this task will be handed over to Junior Brother Tang. If you have any difficulties, you can ask Zongmen, and we will do our best to help you .”

"Last month, Uncle Tong of the Secret Precepts Academy talked to me personally, asking us to pay close attention to the Zhu family's movements, and the head of the sect is also quite concerned about this matter."

Du Yuankai said: "The aristocratic family has always been very cohesive. In addition to the situation like the Zhu family, with Mr. Zhu Mingxuan sitting in charge, the people under him would not dare to collude with outsiders even if they have conflicts. It is not easy to instigate the children of the Zhu family. We can only take things slowly, if we act too hastily, it will make the Zhu family doubt us and push him to the Demon Sect."

Lu Xingxian said: "I know that this matter will not happen overnight. With the current situation, the Zhu family will not fall to the Mozong for a while, so there is still a lot of time. We need a pair of eyes that can keep a close eye on the Zhu family. trend."

Tangning said, "I will do my best."

Lu Xingxian nodded: "I know you are prudent and resourceful, so I will leave this matter to you. If this matter is done well, those people in the Zongmen will stop chattering about the funding of our intelligence department. gone."
