After staying in the cave for a while, Xu Yi returned to the Ming Hall, where Fang Zhangshi had already arrived, cooking fragrant tea, with curling smoke and a pleasant fragrance.

Xu Yixing sat down in front of him, picked up the tea, drank a full cup, the fragrance jumped between his lips and teeth, and praised, "Old Fang, you are good at things, let's talk about it, find me something." ”

Fang Zhangshi said, "Two things, one is to report on our current power in the world's number one sect......"

Xu Yi waved his hand, "You better talk about the second thing, this matter is in your hands, I am very relieved." ”

In Xu Yi's view, the so-called power of the first gate in the world is nothing more than how many people are under the sect, how many soul-feeling people are strong, which sects have been annexed, and how many cities have been accommodated.

For him, it doesn't mean much, at least so far, he hasn't specifically realized the benefits of being the head of a large faction, it's nothing more than a bunch of younger brothers under his command, and when he bullies people, he doesn't have to do it himself.

Fang Zhangshi said, "You really have to listen, if you don't listen to the first thing, it's useless to say the second thing." ”

"Okay, then I'll listen. ”

Xu Yi was interested.

Fang Zhangshi said, "Now under the command of the first sect in the world, there are 308 people who are strong in the middle stage of the soul feeling, and 1,400 people who are strong in the late stage of condensation......"

"Wait, you wait, how many?"

Xu Yi said, "The number one sect in the world, there are now nearly 2,000 people?"

Fang Zhangshi smiled at the corner of his mouth, "This is not counting the peripheral centaurs below the late stage of condensation?"

"There are so many people, how can they be fed, I remember the batch of spirit stones I allocated to Lao Zhao, but I can't support so many people. In addition, doesn't it mean that there is a limit to the number of people recruited by the sect?"

Xu Yi was a little confused.

Fang Zhangshi said, "Our income has two conveniences, on the one hand, it is the three first-level sects that have been put into effect, each of which has brought a small city, and the tax has greatly increased, and on the other hand, it is the congratulatory gifts sent by the various gates after you were promoted to the capital envoy, and it is only with these incomes that the situation is temporarily controlled." There are detailed records of the accounts, and you don't have time to listen to them when I have to tell you several times. ”

"As for the restrictions on the number of people recruited by the sect you mentioned, this is just for ordinary sects, now we are the first sect in the world, where is it still an ordinary sect, your head is already a second-level star official, and our first sect in the world has long been automatically freed from the restrictions on ordinary sects in the mansion. In other words, the first gate in the world today is your private power, and the government will no longer interfere, and there will be no more trial battles. As long as we pay the prescribed taxes on the mountains and cities every year, there will be no other constraints. ”

Xu Yi didn't expect that there would be this additional benefit of being promoted to a star officer, and said with a smile, "These sects join us, I'm afraid they won't be able to get along, and I'm afraid of trials." ”

Fang Zhangshi gave a thumbs up, "The head of the family is high, that's exactly the case, but people posted it, but it was honest, and even the military order was cancelled, but the city came over." However, this is normal at the moment. ”

"Tell me what's going on with the congratulatory gifts sent by the gates?"

Xu Yi had to pay attention to this, as the first envoy of the Discipline Division, he was very sensitive to the transfer of interests on the surface, and there was no way not to be sensitive, after all, there were too many eyes staring at him.

Fang Zhangshi stretched out his hand to share the tea for him, "The head doesn't have to worry too much about this, this is the proper etiquette and process, the official can't help it, and no one will ever take this to find you, this is to make the public angry, besides, which star official has such a thing when he takes office, he will never fall into the handle." Besides, the amount is not large, hundreds of sects, less than 30,000 spirit stones have been sent. ”

"So much?"

Xu Yi was taken aback, but he knew that the salaries of the star officials were really not high, how could he be so exaggerated.

Fang Zhangshi said with a smile, "Don't think that every star official has this treatment, you are the envoy who controls the first capital, the general Huaixi Fengxian, counting, the Fengxian of the various major sects is also within your rectification, and they should give you an offering." When the star officials next to him took office, there would never be so many sects that came to congratulate, and there would never be such a rich congratulatory ceremony. ”

Xu Yi raised his glass and said, "Come, Lao Fang, I salute you, I haven't worried much about this sect for a long time, there is the current situation, you and Lao Zhao have made great contributions, come, replace wine with tea, and do it." ”

The two of them raised their glasses, drank each other, and said, "This is all within the scope of the matter, who called me the deputy military division of the first gate in the world, to be honest, following you is much more energetic than doing it in the world." Thousands of people in the palm of his hand, what a power, Fang Mou today knows the taste of the people on the people, and it is really the blessing of the master. ”

Xu Yi waved his hand, "Sycophant, I don't have time to listen, if you still have anything serious, just say it quickly." ”

Fang Zhangshi said, "Chengcheng, I'm serious." There's an urgent matter right now, and I really have to report to you. That's the question of recruiting sincerity-level people again. The first batch of Zhicheng level only Zhao Wuliang and others. In the past, we had few people and horses, and it was easy to manage, and ten Zhicheng level were enough to use, but now there are thousands of people counting peripheral disciples, and ten Zhicheng level is not enough. ”

Xu Yi said, "Heh, the key is that someone has to be willing to enter this cage." How do you hear this, there are already people who are willing to join the Zhicheng level. ”

Fang Zhangshi said, "Where is the willingness, it is clearly a crazy robbery, do you still think that the first gate in the world is now, or the first gate in the world in the past? Not to mention others, take Zhao Wuliang as an example, what kind of character was he a year ago? That is the lowest level of people who can't even make up the cultivation spirit stones." What kind of person are you now? You and the third person under the deputy head of the house. With such examples in the past, how many people do you say want to be the second Zhao Wuliang. Even if you can't be the second Zhao Wuliang, becoming my first henchman in the world is also the best choice. ”

Xu Yi was thorough, "Okay, this matter is also up to you, not only to look at the cultivation, but also to look at the character, rather lack than abuse, choose it, report it to me, I am looking, if it is appropriate, I will accept it." The sect's affairs, it's almost time to talk about it, it's time to talk about the second thing. ”

Fang Zhangshi said, "This second thing is that the triennial Dark Forbidden Land is about to be opened. We need to accumulate strength as soon as possible, and we need to ...... with our current strength."

Xu Yi knew that Fang was in charge of the matter and was going to talk at length again, so he hurriedly stopped, "You still talk about the point, tell me what the dark forbidden place is first." ”

Fang Zhangshi was stunned, his heart moved suddenly, an idea popped up in his mind, and he felt unreasonable, so he pressed it down and explained, "I can't tell what this dark forbidden place is, it's just that it's shrouded in strange fog all year round, and it can't be detected by perception, and it is extremely dangerous, and it has been a forbidden place for many years." That's why it's called a dark forbidden place. ”
