Chapter 40 What is a low-key second-generation disciple!

The Great Hall of the Three Absolute Sects.

The head is dressed in coarse cloth and sits at the head.

The three elders sat in the lower seats one by one, and behind them stood more than a dozen martial arts masters and a chief steward.

Martial masters are usually teaching outer sect disciples, and they can be regarded as the backbone of the Sanjue sect.The chief housekeeper is in charge of the logistics and is responsible for personnel scheduling and other things.

As for the rest of the management staff and many disciples, they are not qualified to participate in this meeting.

The master glanced at everyone, and said slowly:
"How many disciples have you accepted this year?"

No one else spoke.

The general manager stood up and reported respectfully:

"Back to the head, this year we will recruit eleven inner disciples, eight new outer disciples, and five new Qiuwu apprentices."

"All the tuition fees plus the money collected from various land stores, after deducting the various expenses within the sect, and the offerings from the elders and martial masters, there is now a total of 210 six taels of silver left. "

When talking about these statistics, the chief manager directly didn't count those outer disciples who came from martial arts apprentices.

After all, those who come from Qiuwu apprentices cannot be credited even if they spend money. This is something everyone present knows well.

Hearing this number, the headmaster's expression became more and more displeased.

"No matter how many people receive it every year, there are not fewer people, but the money is getting less and less!"

"I think back then when I founded Sanjuemen in Qinghu Mountain, I collected 10,000+ taels of silver in the first year."

"It's only been a few years now, and half of it is left?"

The head of the sect just showed some displeasure, and the three elders and many martial masters all lowered their heads.

In fact, with the current situation of the Sanjue Sect, it would be nice to be able to save 5 taels!
Originally, in addition to the tuition fees, San Jue Sect also had a large area of ​​land around it, plus the messy money-making business of some retail stores, so of course they were extremely rich.

But now it's been so long.

Although there are more and more land and storefronts on the surface of Sanjuemen, all the money they make goes into their own pockets.

The elder took a piece of fertile land, and the master Wu used a shop. The purchases were received from several separate shops. As for who owns these shops, it goes without saying.

The martial arts apprentices below were originally working for the Zongmen, but now they have only worked for the Zongmen shop for a few days, and all of them have gone to other places.

Under the ebb and flow, being able to have more than 5 taels can be regarded as the chief steward's diligence and thrift in managing the family.

"say!"

"Where did all the money go!"

The headmaster just raised his voice a little, and his strong internal strength directly shook the teacup on the table.

The chief steward quickly knelt down, glanced at the three elders, and then explained:

"The master calms down, the master calms down!"

"The money is getting less and less, because the number of outer disciples has also increased over the years, and the annual expenses are also high."

"In addition, the martial arts apprentices have to pay some wages."

"The expenses of the Zongmen medicine shop and iron shop are also increasing, which makes the money in the sect less and less every year."

"But don't worry, the head. There is still some money in the door that has not been received. The total is about 1 taels of silver. It will be put into the treasury in a month."

Hearing this, the master's face softened a little.

In a calm tone, he said to the general manager:
"Get up, people who practice martial arts don't kneel so easily, even if you are in charge now, you have to remember your identity."

"and also."

"Curry takes 5000 taels of silver and prepares some people to go out with me."

After giving orders to the chief steward, the head of the sect then said to the three elders:
"Who will come with me this year?"

The three elders looked at each other, and none of them spoke, but their expressions were very emotional.

At this moment, one of them stood up first and said:
"Brother, I'll follow you!"

"Junior brother Zhao? That's fine, you plan to leave in two days."

The remaining two elders were obviously displeased, but they didn't speak either.

Who better than Elder Zhao to be the earliest friend of the head of the sect!
Normally.

After the head said this, they should be disbanded, and everyone is busy with their own work.

But I didn't expect the head to mention someone suddenly at this time.

"Liu Kun, who is his disciple under the hands of you?"

"I have been retreating, and I missed the person at home who came to see me. He said that a nephew of mine came here to learn a teacher."

"It wasn't until two days ago that I found out that this kid was with an elder. Who took him in?"

Hear this.

The first person to raise his head was the chief steward.

Then the other two elders glanced at each other and remained silent.

Only Elder Zhao, who had just spoken, was left with his eyes suddenly wandering.

Others may not be familiar with this name, but to Elder Zhao, that impression is too deep!

This person had already joined the sect last year, and chose to become an inner sect disciple by directly paying the money.

But he didn't say what background he has, or any other background.

Therefore, Elder Zhao has always regarded him as the son of a local rich man who suddenly became rich.

Since he is a local rich man, Elder Zhao is naturally a lion in his daily life.

In addition to the apprenticeship fee of 5000 taels.

It costs 100 taels for one instruction, and 100 taels for teaching two moves. If you want to learn other kung fu, the price is extra, and you have to give yourself an extra offering as a master every month. Naturally, there are also gifts for festivals and festivals. .

After being his master for a year, he was so rich that he even changed the furniture in his house.

Because of this incident, he still showed off to the other two elders, saying that he had accepted a thief and rich apprentice!

But no matter how rich this apprentice is, he can't stand the constant demands.

If you don't have money, you can't use it.

So, Elder Zhao found an excuse two months ago and drove him back to become an outer disciple.

I never thought that it has been more than two months.

The leader suddenly asked at this time!

Seeing the gloating looks in the eyes of the other two elders, Elder Zhao himself did not dare to tell the truth.

If the bullying is just an ordinary disciple, or an outsider with some connections, then it's no big deal, the worst thing is to explain a few more words and just get scolded.

But the one I bullied was the nephew of the head of the family!
Even if he grows eight mouths, he still can't explain what he did!

Just as he was thinking about how to speak, the other two elders began to speak in unison.

"Master, so that disciple named Liu Kun is your nephew!"

"Your nephew is really careful. He has been in our sect for more than a year, and he didn't say that you are his uncle."

"It was you who said this name, and I suddenly realized that your nephew is a teacher who followed Elder Zhao. In this year, Elder Zhao has mentioned the name Liu Kun to us both frequently!"

"Why don't you invite him here as soon as possible, the head, you have a good time to meet!"
