Chapter 141: Division of Dojo
Penglai has been in Guizhou for several years and has been jointly managed by officials from five regions.

The three dojos in the northeast and south are each led by one of the three great sects on the Penglai Sea. On the surface, there seems to be no change.

But in fact, the seven sects and eight schools in Penglai Sea are all known together. Although the top three sects are strong, the Taixuan, Xiangui, Chongyang and other lineages are only slightly inferior.

If they are forced to be subordinate to each other, that would be a joke!
Openly or secretly, the various sects in Penglai Sea began to confront each other.

These seven sects and eight schools, not to mention their profound power, have been passed down for a long time, and the population of the small countries under their command is in the hundreds of millions, and they are self-sufficient...

In the center of the Central Penglai Taoist Temple, the Central Taoist official Yuan Zhongfa led three armies and fought for several years with the Xiankui Sect, which was second only to the top three sects.

After suffering a loss at first, he borrowed a Taoist general and two battalions of Taoist soldiers from Youzhou. Now the situation is very good...

But the first one to take control of the Taoist temple was the lord of the Western Pole of Penglai and the East China Sea, the Sanjiang Coastal Taoist Official - the Master of Thunder and Fire, Wu Yong!
He adopted the system of enfeoffment and division of tribes, and had six provincial governors under his jurisdiction. These were called provincial governors, but in fact they privately called each other provincial governors. He gathered the five noble families of the East China Sea, and used the power of the five noble families to suppress the powerful people of the East China Sea.

The law was settled in one year, and then revised the following year. It has been five years now.

Such means moved all parties.

And at this time.

Wu Yong, who had been in seclusion for several years and had not dealt with worldly affairs, finally came out, and many officials and assistants from the East China Sea could not wait to swarm into the main hall of Gao Ya.

There is nothing else, it’s just urgent!
All the families came together, and even a third-level magician lowered his own price. Wasn't it just for a share of the money at this moment?
The five Taoist officials and the chief managers of various departments had just received the summons from the government office and were rushing to the central hall from various departments on the fairy island.

"Manager Xu, now that the master has come out of seclusion, is he going to go to Primal Chaos as he said before..."

"Huh? Really?"

"..."

An old Taoist in a green armor robe was stepping onto Changhuan Island from the treasure ship. He was patrolling the sea when he received the summons from the Central Hall and hurried back home.

Hearing the little guys asking questions over and over again, I couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

"What should you call me? Brat!"

"I entered the Fuyao Mountain Temple two years ago. I am a member of the Wu family in life and a ghost of the Wu family in death."

"You should call me Chief Wu."

"Hehe, who dares to guess what the master is thinking? But if nothing unexpected happens, the master always keeps his word..."

Butler Xu... no, now he should be called Wu Feng, Butler Feng.

Taoist Wu Feng also knew a little about being a minister, so he did not try to guess Wu Yong's next move. He just expressed his feelings about Wu Yong's character in a subtle way.

Afterwards, he no longer bothered with this group of Taoist subordinates who came from the Qingyun Realm. He waved his hand to summon a group of Pu clouds, and leaped onto the Qingyun. He was seen carrying a magical bow on his back and a book of soul-binding talismans on his waist. He rode the cloud, looking like an old immortal!

By the time Manager Feng hurried into the hall, almost all the cushions in the hall were already filled with people.

The heroic young man at the top had an appearance of a dragon and a phoenix. Seeing that he was late, he was not angry. Instead, he smiled and waved gently to ask him to come in quickly.

Then he turned around and said softly to the nearly forty second-level warlock stewards and Taoist officials in the hall:

"Everyone, now that everyone is here, let's get started."

Afterwards, Wu Yong took two steps back and sat back on the main seat.

He gave the long oval desk in front of him to his assistants, Jin Fugui and Yan Yunyue, two sorcerer stewards who were proficient in general affairs!

The two of them bowed slightly to the cultivators in the hall, and then with trembling hands, they stacked up several copies of the support list.

Yan Yunyue stepped forward and handed the expenditure list to each sorcerer one by one, while Jin Fugui swallowed his saliva and began to report the data.

"Since the establishment of the law, our Donghai Daochang has subscribed to 367 copies of the Law of Pastoral and Fishery. Afterwards, it was adjusted several times according to the reverse direction of various departments. In the first five years, the total income and expenditure of Lingdao, fishing grounds, coral collecting grounds, etc. is about 38 million Dao baht!"

"In addition, there are several categories of trade, travel, military, and supplies on the inland rivers from the East China Sea to the Three Continents. All small ships must pay 30,000 Daozhu, and large ships must pay 100,000 Daozhu. Merchants must pay 80% of their supplies..."

"To date, it is also... equivalent to 80 million Dao baht."

Such an astonishing number still shocked everyone who already had some guesses in their hearts. You looked at me, I looked at you, and our voices were a little hoarse.

"There are also three areas that the Daofu has carved out for itself in the sea. In the north, east, and south of Changhuan Fairy Island, there is a Caishan Prefecture and two fishing grounds. There are five spiritual fields and spiritual manors on the fairy island and the seven spiritual roads within it, with a total of six million Dao baht."

"Earlier, we confiscated spiritual materials from powerful sects and bandits in various places, about 40 million Dao baht!"

It took five years to rule the East China Sea, and another year to pacify it.

The circulating income and expenditure have exceeded 100 million, so the gains to the East China Sea are huge.

However, what makes everyone even more nervous and worried is how to distribute it. After all, the larger the number, the more likely the result will be completely different if there is a mistake!
Under the crowd's heated gazes, Wu Yong stood up and walked to the long table. With a wave of his right hand, he sealed the doors and windows inside and outside the hall with Xuanhuang Dao power. Then he bent his right hand slightly and tapped the table with the knuckles of his index finger.

"The Caishan, Muyu, Lingtian and Lingzhuang in the Taoist temple were built when Wu spent more than 10 million Daozhu to invite Zhu of Black Mountain Liufeng to open the Taoist temple. Not only are they my private property, but I haven't received them yet. How dare you set your sights on me first?"

Wu Yong tapped the table with his right hand at a slow rhythm and looked at everyone with a smile.

That gaze like a clear spring made the hearts of the cultivators sink. They secretly cursed who was crazy enough to set their sights on the Taoist official's private property.

He immediately echoed, "Please calm down, Master. We all know, we all know!"

"If any ignorant bastard dares to raise his hand, we will chop off that claw first!"

"..."

Seeing that the practitioners began to promise and agree, Wu Yong flicked his finger and threw the list of the Taoist temple's private property into the arms of Chief Steward Jin, and then began to divide it up.

"When the East Sea Dojo opened in the past, there were 300 silver-armored Taoist soldiers and 30 Taoist Palace candidates. Now, there are also assistant officials from the government office and Taoist children who clean the fairy island."

"We must also prepare the provisions for the various practitioners on the island, and maintain the instruments, instruments, mounts, and treasure ships of the hundreds of practitioners."

"The expenses of this dojo are naturally the first allocation. The annual expenses alone amount to more than 8 million Dao Baht!"

"No matter how the troops are divided, it is impossible for each of us to receive more than the government office. If that happens, the Dao Court will not be able to justify it."

"The government office will pay 50%, 118 million Dao Baht, and the mansion will deposit 59 million Dao Baht first!"

"Chief Steward Lie, the government office has borrowed 20 million Daozhu from Fuyao Wu family in the past few years. Please ask the people from Fuyao Mountain to take it back..."

The Tōkaidō government residence collected 50% of the proceeds, leaving a considerable surplus. After calculations by everyone present, they found that there was still a surplus of nearly 20 million Dao baht.

But there was no objection. They really couldn't take more than what was in the Taoist official's mansion. Otherwise, wouldn't it be like using the title of a fourth-rank Taoist official as a shell and laying eggs with someone else's money?

Although the Dao Court does not need the locals to offer too much supplies to Yujing, it cannot really be without moral integrity!
"The remaining 50% will be divided into six parts, each to be managed by the officials of each department."

"The sixth official should have belonged to Liufeng Zhu. He and his colleagues have done a good job in the upper and lower reaches of Danjiang River. Some of them are also among the assistant officials in the government. Summon Zhu to Changhuan Fairy Island tonight to claim his share."

"Remember, the six Taoist officials and their followers are all supported by the Taoist officials themselves. This is an opportunity to enfeoff the Taoist officials. Don't let it get out to the outside world, saying that several generations of our East Sea families have divided it up..."

"You wait, do you know?"

Wu Yong pointed with his right hand, slammed the table, and gave a solemn warning.

"Yes, Your Excellency!"

"We all know it."

Upon hearing this, the cultivators below felt nervous and nodded in agreement one after another.

A local Taoist official could earn tens of millions of Taoist baht every five years, which was no less than the income of an ordinary fifth or sixth rank family. He only needed to send a team in and out of the East China Sea to perform his duties.

If there is a real situation, the government office also has court guards and soldiers as well as evil spirits to serve as its arms.

Normally, the resources for practicing magic tools, mounts, and instruments can all be found on Changhuan Fairy Island, and they are quite common throughout the entire East China Sea!
Except for the Ziling Zhao family, each family also got a satisfactory answer.

Only the Ziling Zhao family specially sent a magician to settle in, but the income they got was definitely not as good as the income of the entire Danjiang River at the beginning. But if they were dissatisfied, it seemed that they could accept it!
"The proceeds from the raids on the homes of the powerful clans and bandits are the only crime committed by the East China Sea. I will distribute them among the tribes according to their military merits!"

After Wu Yong said this, Zhao Ling's expression finally showed some emotion. After considering the military merits, the majority of the money naturally went to Wu and Zhao, each with nearly 10 million, and the rest was shared by other families...

After this division, every family finally benefited and left with satisfaction.

If this grand occasion remains unchanged, after sixty years, the foundation of each family will undergo earth-shaking changes.

Wu Yong glanced at the people who were slowly leaving and called Jin Fugui and Yan Yunyue over.

"At the end of the year, write a letter and take 10 million Daozhu of food and grain to Yuxu Palace. From now on, you can escort it once every five years. From the second time on, you can use less!"

“By the way, isn’t it quite popular in the clan to make bait pills since we have inherited the magical power of the Earthly Demon - the art of taking bait?

"I see that some of your Yimu Lingdan are quite pure. I will add some of the Chiyang Huandan that I made in my spare time. The Daozhu from the Taoist temple will be exchanged for some elixirs and then offered to Yujing..."

Yi Mu Lingdan is not an elixir, but a bait pill made from the essence of plants and trees. It is pure and is used to practice Qi only as bait, making the spiritual energy and magic power extracted during practice more pure and condensed!
At present, many Taoists of the Wu family can refine a Yi Mu Lingdan, take it and practice Qi, and buy it from the Taoist practitioners of the Wu family at a high price, and can also give them some Taoist support.

At this point, the establishment of the Tokai Dojo came to a perfect end.

Each family held power in one hand and gained profits in the other, which laid the foundation for the future "East China Sea Family".
