Chapter 1375 Benefits
The several first-class sects that were promised benefits by Wanjuan Shushan and Mingshan Sect before, supported them at the Book Tasting Conference and finally implemented the "separation of investigation and punishment", and now their intestines are about to regret.
I thought the previous "separation of investigation and punishment" was not a big deal, but it just gave Wanjuan Shushan and Mingshan Zong a higher prestige in the Zongmen circle. But the experience of Tianchanzong later told everyone that what Wanjuan Shushan and Mingshanzong got was not some "prestige", but a sharp blade that could cut someone's head!
That's not all. Just when everyone was responding to the "wide opening of the door" to recruit some suitable casual cultivators to enter the sect, another news shocked the first and second-rate sects in the sect circle to the point where they almost lost their standing.
Wanjuan Shushan and Mingshan Sect deliberately asked Xuan Qingwei of the Jingjiu Dynasty for an opportunity to earn more cultivation resources in order to benefit the bottom-level sects. As long as their approval is obtained, a five-year employment agreement can be signed at the recruitment office of Xuanqingwei in various places, which can not only earn a high salary, but also gain experience as a training experience, and even be able to work in various places under Feng The mine veins of Red Mountain Villa get some preferential treatment in terms of wages.
At first glance, it really is a good thing to benefit the bottom sect. But in the eyes of first- and second-rate sects, it's not the same thing.
Everyone in the Zongmen circle has always been "eating from the bowl and looking at other people's bowls", but as long as the hands are long and strong, it depends on how far the chopsticks can be stretched. If you stretch upwards to be beaten, you stretch downwards.
Super sects have the appropriate tribute from first-rate sects. The first-rate sects turn their backs and go to squeeze the second-rate sects, and the second-rate sects can't just lose money on their own? Isn't there a third-rate sect below? What, the third-rate sect is running out of money? Isn't there the largest number of non-influential sects? Hugging grass and beating rabbits, who can run away?
Whether it is a food chain or a secret rule. Anyway, the sects at the bottom are actually closely related to the sects at the middle and upper levels to a large extent. The truth is like trees and people, seemingly unconnected, but in fact they are connected at the root.
Now that Wanjuan Shushan and Mingshan Sect have united with Xuanqingwei, the bottom-level sects that should have been oppressed step by step have been pulled out of this closed loop. This is tantamount to cutting off a middle-level sect's source of income, or in other words, shaking the foundation of this source of income.
In the past, the upper-level sects forced the lower-level "tribute" by eating more and occupying more, and compressing the living space of the lower-level. Now that people earn salary from Xuan Qingwei, you can't oppress or take it by force, can you? In addition, Wanjuan Shushan and Mingshanzong came together to endorse this matter, who would dare to mess around?
In other words, once the employment agreement is signed, there is no need to face oppression from the upper echelon.
What? Are Wanjuan Shushan and Mingshanzong also affected? Oh, that's wrong. As super sects, Wanjuan Shushan and Mingshan Sect don't need to rely on oppressing anyone's resources to survive, their own resources are enough. The so-called tribute is just for the first-class sects to buy peace and comfort themselves. In fact, their tribute is not taken seriously by these two super sects.
Therefore, the benefit here is to benefit the two super sects at the top and the sects at the bottom who are not popular at the bottom. As for the first-, second- and third-rate sects in the middle, they didn't gain any benefits, and were indirectly affected by shaking their roots.
"My lord, can they really bear it?"
Inside the yamen of the commander of the Black Flag Camp, Shen Hao leaned on a chair and slowly sipped hot tea. This is a new hobby he has developed since he stepped into the Xuanhai Realm. It seems that suddenly tea, a drink with a slight bitterness and fragrance, has gradually crowded out a part of the place that belongs to wine in his mind. The reason is not difficult to find, because it is difficult for Shen Hao to feel that kind of drunken state on wine now.
However, tasting tea and wine, the level changes in taste still make him feel interesting.
It was Wang Jian who stood at the bottom, bent slightly, and asked questions curiously. This was the first time Shen Hao met Wang Jian alone after returning from the underground palace.
Naturally, the conversation was about the affairs of Blackwater over the past two years, and there were also some recent arrangements. This included the fact that the Black Flag camps in various places began to sign employment agreements with nearly a hundred small sects at the bottom according to the lists given by Wanjuan Shushan and Mingshanzong. This incident itself has nothing to do with Heishui, but subsequent changes in this incident require Heishui to follow up and collect relevant information.
Before Shen Hao was trapped in the underground palace two years ago, the black water had been infiltrating into the Zongmen circle, but because the threshold and barriers of the Zongmen circle were much higher than the secular world, the penetration speed of the black water was relatively slow.
But slow doesn't mean it can't penetrate.
Right now, all the sects are "opening doors" against Xuanqingwei, trying to attract the attention of casual practitioners from the secular world to the sect, so as to block Xuanqingwei's recruitment of casual practitioners. To Xuan Qingwei, this was equivalent to a heavy hammer blow. But for Heishui, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
With this so-called "opening the door widely", Heishui infiltrated a large number of spies into various sects through the opening of loose cultivators, including many first- and second-rate sects. It's just that it's still far from the core position for the time being, and can only peek at the corners.
After hearing about the dark context of the employment agreement, Wang Jian immediately realized that there must be more than just the seemingly turbulent, undercurrents must be surging. I also wonder if there will be a big scene of fierce confrontation in the sect because of this. It would be wonderful if that was the case.
"What can I do if I can't bear it? Why join forces to confront two super sects?" Shen Hao blew away a little froth in his teacup, took a sip, and continued, "Zhou Yankong, the lord of Wanjuan Shushan, and Yang Wanli, the lord of Mingshan Sect, this The two of them have never hidden their cultivation bases, they are at the eighth level of the Xuanhai Realm! Do you think it is possible for the two of them to join forces and kill seven of the eleven first-class sects?
In addition, on the bright side, Wanjuan Shushan and Mingshanzong have more monks in the middle and later realms of Xuanhai Realm than the eleven first-class sects combined.
This is not counting the background of these two families, how many spiritual weapons? How many talismans of the mysterious sea level?
What's more, do you think that with eleven first-rate sects plus dozens of second-rate sects, so many sects can really be of one mind? Can you really put your head in the waistband neatly and fight hard?
Impossible. In the end, they dared to make a fuss in front of the two super sects, and I gave them a high regard. It is more likely that before Wanjuan Shushan and Mingshanzong give them a step down, they themselves will be divided internally, stepping on others to take the lead, it is better than evenly sharing the "sweet dates" given by the two super sects. "a bit more. "
"My lord, do you mean that Wanjuan Shushan and Mingshan sect will share a part of the benefits?" Wang Jian followed along and continued to ask.
"There should be something to show. But it is impossible to give up the interests of the bottom sect or the two of them. It is more likely to win some and suppress some."
"Win first-rate, suppress second-rate?"
"It's the other way around. Winning over second- and third-rate sects and suppressing first-rate sects is what kills two birds with one stone."
