Chapter 551
"It seems that the master trusts him very much!"
When the conversation between Zhang Xin and Xue Yunfan ended, and the latter left with satisfaction, Ye Ruo asked Zhang Xin curiously: "Master, your Liuxiao Thunder God, so far, has only been to Yuan Kongbi and your master. But he has also been unreserved of this governor Xue."
She knew how cautious her master was. Zhang Xin was still hiding the sect image of the Six Sky Thunder God.
But just now, Zhang Xin showed it to Xue Yunfan.
"It's not that I trust him better than Senior Brother Zong, but that I have no choice."
Zhang Xin's voice contained some helplessness.
He knew very well that although he had a little prestige in the Sun and Moon Xuan Sect, he actually lacked trust in him because he was the first time he became the chief of a senior yard and was in charge of a large army for the first time.
So now, even if he has obtained the authorization of the Tianzhu Conference, he still needs Xue Yunfan's full cooperation.
This man, who was in the upper courtyard of Tianmang Mountain, has a deep root, and his power tentacles have extended to all aspects.
With this person's cooperation, he can do whatever he does.
But accordingly, if Xue Yunfan is determined to do anything against him, then he, Zhang Xin, will not do anything.
"But this governor Xue does not need to doubt it. If this person has any disagreement with the sect, the situation of the Fourth Court of Tiandong will not deteriorate to how bad it will be. The only thing I am dissatisfied is that this person's move to embezzle public funds every year and manipulate the drug prices in the north. Although this is a temporary solution, it can be."
When Zhang Xin said this, he suddenly stopped.
Since sixteen years ago, Xue Yunfan has used Tianmang Mountain's "Xuanxin Grass", "Nine-Curved Vine" and other spiritual medicines, which occupy 90% of the northern region, as well as Tianmang Mountain's huge financial resources to hoard and manipulate the drug prices, thus obtaining a lot of profits.
Although Xue Yunfan's move was approved by the six pillars of the past, this was really not a good thing for the Sun and Moon Xuanzong.
But he said these complaints to Ye Ruo without any use.
Shaking his head, he turned toward the Dou Zhansi.
The current Tianmangshan Fighting Office leader has not yet stepped down, and his appointment has not yet been given to Zhang Xin.
But since Zhang Xin has obtained the military authority granted by the Tianzhu Conference, he is already qualified to intervene in the military affairs of Tianmang Mountain.
As he expected, with Xue Yunfan's support, he could do anything in Tianmang Mountain smoothly.
Although the current leader of the Dou Zhan Department was dissatisfied with Zhang Xin's forced replacement of the ranks and his "impatient" plan to take over the Dou Zhan Department this time, he was completely unspeakable. He not only handed over all the documents of the Dou Zhan Department in recent years, but also cooperated to issue a convening order to the major branches in advance.
Afterwards, this person personally accompanied Zhang Xin to inspect the troops under the Battle Department and the Shangshan Department, as well as the military status, to help him grasp the situation.
As Xue Yunfan said, if the upper courtyard of Tianmang Mountain is about combat power, it is the bottom among the major upper courtyards of the Sun and Moon Xuanzong. However, in terms of financial resources, it will definitely be among the top ten in the Sun and Moon Xuanzong.
The Battle Department and the Shangshan Division of the Upper Court headquarters have a total of 16 towns, 1,210 spiritual masters and 24 divine masters.
Just talking about human power, these sixteen towns have severely lacked staff, and the number of divine masters is insufficient, and even the ratio of two to four to one cannot be achieved.
But the equipment of these spiritual masters is really luxurious, even surpassing the eighth halls of the Dou Jun! Almost everyone has at least one magic weapon of the same level as theirs, three to five magic weapons at level three or above, and two to four spiritual equipment. In addition, there are all kinds of spiritual pills that can temporarily increase combat power and restore magic power.
However, Zhang Xin also tested it one by one. He found that the combat power of these people was only at ordinary level. Even with the equipment in their hands, their overall strength was still weaker than that of the Eighth Hall of the Dou, which was only 60% of the latter.
This is reasonable. These people have such luxurious spiritual magic weapons in their hands. If they have outstanding strength, how could they stay in the upper courtyard of Tianmang Mountain? They should have been selected into the Eighth Hall of the Dou Jun or transferred to some more promising positions.
What is gratifying is that these people have experienced very strict practices and are familiar with the various standard formations of the Sun and Moon Xuanzong.
This is obviously a merit of Xue Yunfan. The current leader of the Battle Department and the Shangshan Commander have also put a lot of effort into it.
Then, in several warehouses on the back mountain of Tianmang Mountain, there were a total of ten sun-type warships, thirty moon-type warships, and four mountain-attacking ships.
The first two are brand new ships and have never been used. The latter is a little old, but the hull is in good condition, with a perfect magic array and complete equipment. You only need a level 15 divine vein stone, enough top-level divine masters or holy spirits to use it.
And in this warehouse, nine such stones are stored.
In addition, there are eight other mountain attack crossbows, forty-faced Yangyan Divine Mirrors, forty-faced Ice Soul Divine Mirrors, and various types of spiritual crossbows, with nearly 4,200.
"These are not all, in addition to that. In the back hall of the Gongzheng Hall, there are also various level ten spiritual pills used to recover injuries and magic power, a total of 129 cans, 73,000 talismans of various level ten, 79 pieces of level eight spiritual equipment, and 460 pieces of level four spiritual equipment, all of which are private funds raised by Tianmang Mountain in recent years."
When Zhang Xin was shocked by the supplies in the warehouse, Xue Yunfan also appeared around him immediately.
This person's eyes were proud and his expression was content.
"I know that for more than ten years, Tianzhu has been dissatisfied with merely embezzling public funds and reselling spiritual medicines and manipulating the price of medicines in the north. He believes that this move may ruin the sect of the Sun and Moon Xuanzong. But I, Xue Yunfan, have not used a single piece of the gains over the years. In short, I, Xue Yunfan, are worthy of the sky and do not be ashamed of others!"
Zhang Xin couldn't help but look complicated and glanced at this person. He thought that this person's courage was indeed quite good.
Strictly speaking, this time, he used the Tianzhu Conference to seize part of Xue Yunfan's authority. But after this man got enough "guarantee" from him, he did not do any constraints, and even opened everything in Tianmang Mountain to him without reservation.
Zhang Xin also believed that what this person said was true. The profit from reselling spiritual medicines in Tianmang Mountain over the years has not been reserved at all.
"Manipulate the drug price? I am wondering. You Tianmang Mountain have so many spiritual masters, so why can you still have such a rich military reserve?"
Zhang Xin pretended to know the first time he knew it, then frowned and said, "But this is a ban? Governor Xue has not been detained by the Second Criminal Law and Precepts Department. It's a miracle. Could this be the authorization of the six Tianzhu 16 years ago?"
"At that time, Xue also obtained the power to raise funds for self-raised funds. If there were not enough resources, how could he recruit spiritual masters?"
Xue Yunfan did not know Zhang Xin's true identity and explained casually: "The Tianzhu who took over later also protected Tianmang Mountain and covered it up."
When Zhang Xin heard this, he couldn't help but twitch the corners of his lips. He was also one of the pillars of Tianzhu who covered up on Xue Yunfan's coverup and turned a blind eye to him.
"So that's it! Since there is a Tianzhu authorization document, it is not a violation. However, this matter still needs to be stopped in time! Once this evil example is opened, the rest of the upper courts are like Tianmang Mountain, and the disaster of the Sun and Moon Xuanzong is not far away."
Even if you think about it with your toes, you can know that if all the major upper courts have their own resources of wealth, their independence will surely increase greatly.
One of the causes of the current Tiandong Fourth Court Rebellion is that after the death of Thunder God Jian Wudi, the sect gave special preferential treatment to the Tiandong Fourth Court and left part of the local spiritual tax to the Tiandong Fourth Court for use.
On the one hand, it is to repair various spiritual veins of the Fourth Tiandong Courtyard; on the other hand, it is to appease the remains of the sects of the Fourth Tiandong Courtyard, and to compensate for the casualties.
At that time, the Tianzhu Conference wanted to use this move to capture the people of the Fourth Academy of Tiandong. This move did have an effect. Now there are nearly half of the disciples of the Fourth Academy of Dongdong, and their hearts are on our mountain.
But in the end, the funds were used by the rebellion of the Fourth Yuan of Tiandong and became the foundation for their secret cultivation of power.
Moreover, manipulating the drug price is not without risks. The funds used by Xue Yunfan is spiritual tax collected from various places in Tianmang Mountain. Once the loss is made, the disaster will be great.
Even if Xue Yunfan has authorized documents in hand, he still cannot escape the sect's crimes.
Moreover, Xue Yunfan may be able to keep himself clean, but are the people under this command as clean as him? It is not something he can do alone in manipulating the price of medicine.
"Zhuxing has made the masters have a great vision and is admirable. But in fact, if the rebellion in the Four Courtyards of Tiandong can be curbed, Xue is unwilling to take this risk."
Xue Yunfan laughed at himself, and his voice was cold: "Xue has his own calculations, so there is no need to pick the stars to make me worry."
Zhang Xin heard the displeasure of this person and couldn't help but frown slightly. But after all, he didn't say a word and didn't plan to persuade him again.
He hoped that this person could, as he said, be able to take the initiative to end the embezzlement of public funds after the rebellion of the Four Courtyards of Tiandong.
Otherwise, Tianmangshan will have another disaster sooner or later.
The two of them had a bad conversation, but Xue Yunfan seemed to have not had any grudges and still tried his best to assist Zhang Xin in summoning the Taoist soldiers and preparing the cloud ships, preparing various materials.
About three days later, the sect sent a formal document, appointing him as the leader of the Battle Department of Tianmang Mountain. At the same time, the sect's supervision order was also delivered to him.
At this moment, he was justified and had the right to control all military affairs in Tianmang Mountain. After the rebellion of the Fourth Yuan of Tiandong, he could fully command all wars against the Fourth Yuan of Tianmang Mountain, and he could conscript all spiritual masters at the upper Yuan of Tianmang Mountain and above level five.
