I'm the only player

Chapter 393 [Taking office at Goose Guangde Hall]

The next day, in the morning.

He Sheng took a horse-drawn carriage and rode all the way to Sanshui City.

Today, I need to go to the main hall for an assessment.

Although the sect master has signed, the position of the leader of Guangde Hall is basically set in stone. However, your own strength is not up to the standard, so I can only say sorry.

What the hell?

You ask why not assess first and then appoint.

Haha, once someone fails to pass the assessment, the position of the head of Guangde Hall will be vacant again. It is a good thing to make money twice, or even three or four times from the same thing.

There are many such things in the history of Jujingmen. In fact, if you want to be successful in taking office, you have to bribe the person in charge of the assessment. Try it without bribery? Believe it or not, I will beat you so hard that your mother won't recognize you!
Of course, with his current background and connections, even if he didn't bribe the person in charge of the assessment, he wouldn't dare to act rashly. The hall master and the big boss nodded. You are just a small assessor, but you are trying to deceive others. Is it intentional or accidental?
Not to mention that He's own strength is not bad, even if he doesn't know any martial arts, the examiner dares to let him pass. As for the fact that he can't suppress the disciples and leaders under his command in the territory in the future, it has nothing to do with the people in the headquarters.

"Brother, are you here?"

Wang Xiao was waiting in front of the main hall early, and his subordinates were frightened. Among them was the person in charge of the military strength assessment today.

The other party knew that no matter what, today, the person who was tapped on the shoulder by the big boss must pass. If he didn't pass? Then he would be the one who was allowed to pass.

The group walked all the way to the assessment point.

It is called an assessment point, but in fact it is just a larger training ground.

"I am the supervisor of this assessment, Wu Han, one of the ten leaders of the headquarters. I guarantee that this assessment will be absolutely fair, open, and just!!"

After he finished speaking, Wu Han nodded at Wang Xiao, then winked at He Sheng. Finally, he glared at the examiner, the one who had reached the ninth level of black blood in the training realm.

party:"."

The venue, the referee, and the opponent are all our own people.

lose?
Even God won’t agree.

"I declare that the assessment officially begins."

After saying this, Wu Han immediately stepped back and gave up the venue.

The next second, the main hall disciple who had reached the Great Perfection of the Ao Lian Realm on the opposite side cried out, flew backwards in a very exaggerated manner, and fell to the ground with a thud.

"Boss Wu, I lost."

"???"

The other disciples who were watching were stunned at first.

Then, they reacted immediately and quickly applauded.

No, you guys.
I am really in the inner training realm!

"pass."

Wu Han jumped in decisively and raised He's right hand.

"."

"Hahaha, congratulations. Old Ten, give me a heads up next time you have something." Wang Xiao stepped forward to congratulate him and also took the opportunity to keep in touch with the man named Wu.

"No, no, I hope that when I'm in trouble, the eldest brother can be kind enough to help me, the tenth brother."

Corruption, so fucking corrupt.

What does it mean when officials protect each other? Just look at this group of people in the headquarters and you will know. They must have done a lot of similar things.

The disadvantages of a single dominant force are vividly demonstrated. It is really unclear how many hall masters are just figureheads who took office by bribing the people in the main hall.

"Master He's punches and kicks are really powerful. I admire you."

The person who just flew backwards got up from the ground and said with a flattering look on his face. Are you kidding? A person with such a strong relationship must be familiar to you.

"."

The person involved didn't know what to say. Today's silence was more than the silence of the whole year. Besides, it was because I was good at boxing and kicking. It was obviously because you were good at acting.

In Sanshui City, in Anrenfang where the headquarters is located, there is the best restaurant - Zuixianju.

Anrenfang, also known as the No. 1 Fang in the city!
There are many shops in the market, the high-end ones include silk, porcelain, tea, spices, and jewelry. There are also various stalls that are affordable for ordinary people, with good quality and low prices.

In addition, there are many handicraft workshops, such as brocade, ceramics, gold and silver wares, etc. More importantly, the bustling business did not hinder the prosperity of culture. The number of schools in Anrenfang is the largest in Sanshui City, and many literati often gather here to recite poems and write couplets.

Not to mention entertainment, there are many theaters and music halls, and there are too many songs, dances, acrobatics, and operas to dazzle the eyes. There is no need to mention temples and Taoist temples, and teahouses and wine shops are everywhere.

If it happens to be a festival, it will be extremely lively.

In the prosperous Anrenfang, Zuixianju is extremely important and can be called the number one restaurant.

Half a month ago, a wealthy family spent 10,000 taels of silver to book a fish market to celebrate the birth of their grandson. 10,000 taels, a certain fish market owner fished for a year and a half to get 10,000 taels, and he spent it lightly.

Of course, they definitely didn't dare to book the whole place. Besides, what right did a mere leader of the Giant Whale Sect have to book the whole place? On weekdays, many dignitaries came to Zuixianju to enjoy the food.

You booked the whole place?
Do you really think that the powerful and wealthy won’t punish you?

A meal for both the guest and the host.

After paying the bill, it was already dark when the group left the restaurant.

"Brother, let's go to Guangdefang tomorrow morning. Unfortunately, I have to go on a mission tomorrow, otherwise I would definitely go with you. It is said that our caravan was robbed by a group of bandits. Damn, someone is so bold that he dares to rob the caravan of the Giant Whale Sect within a thousand miles."

After Wang Xiao finished speaking, he climbed drunkenly into his own carriage.

He Sheng's carriage followed the other party's carriage and arrived at a magnificent mansion without any obstruction. It seemed that this guy made a lot of money when he was the big boss in the headquarters.

On the way, some soldiers on patrol saw the Giant Whale Gate sign and pretended not to see it. Even if there was a rank, the leading military officer did not say a word.

This shows how powerful the Giant Whale Clan is in Sanshui City.

At night, just before dawn, Mr. He counted his wallet.

"A meal cost me 156 taels of silver. Damn, Zuixianju should just change its name to Qiangqianju." There were 13 people in total, 12 of whom were the leaders of the main hall. They didn't drink much. The key point was that a bucket of wine cost 10 taels of silver, which was simply a rip-off.

One dou is about 10 jin. For ordinary citizens, one dou of wine is only 150 wen. In Zuixianju, one dou is 10 liang of silver, and 10 liang of silver = 10,000 wen of copper coins. Who can afford it except noble officials and wealthy merchants?
"No wonder they are trying to make money. If they don't make money, they will have to be stingy when drinking."

In the early hours of the morning, the daily message system is pushed on time.

[Daily Intelligence ① (White), After hearing his subordinates tell about the players going to the headquarters for assessment, the Ninth Elder fell silent. He was thinking, how many years have passed, and the Giant Whale Sect has become so corrupt? ]

"."

No, how can you, a crow, standing on a black pig and saying the pig is black?

The upper class leads the lower class. If you old guys make money, how can the people below not follow suit?

[Daily Intelligence ② (White), Zhang Qiao, the big boss of Guangde Hall, was very dissatisfied with the new head of the hall. In the afternoon, he inquired about the news of the new head of the hall and learned how the main hall let the water and the sea go.

Therefore, he decided to give the new leader a warning tomorrow. He would not hurt anyone, let alone kill someone. If someone was really hurt, it would be embarrassing for the head hall, and even more embarrassing for him as a mere leader.

However, Zhang Qiao felt that it would not cause trouble to sideline the hall master. It happens from time to time that the big boss under his command sidelines the hall master, and no one has suffered any misfortune. You are not capable enough, so you have the nerve to ask for external intervention? Even if external forces intervene, they have not violated the sect rules, so what can the disciples do? ! 】

Haha, just because capable and wealthy leaders think Guangdetang is unlucky, it doesn’t necessarily mean that poor local leaders don’t want it either.

"Zhang Qiao."

He muttered the name and continued to read the news.

[Daily Intelligence ③ (Blue), The Ninth Elder hopes to further determine the player's talent, but does not know how to proceed. He sends someone to test the player, but is afraid that the player will become alienated if he finds out.

He secretly hinted to others to step forward, but he also thought that if the player really had talent, the person who was beaten would reveal the matter.

Oh no! If the players hadn't made him feel that "this kid has extraordinary talent", he wouldn't have been so entangled. 】

It can be seen that the Ninth Elder is very considerate of his feelings.

"Forget it, let him be the Ninth Elder."

Don't worry, Lao Deng.

Wait until tomorrow, and I will make sure you make up your mind.

The next day, early in the morning, He Sheng took a carriage to Guangdefang.

Wang Xiao had gone out on a mission earlier.

The Giant Whale Gate caravan being robbed by bandits was no small matter. If the gate didn't fight back fiercely, they would just have to wait for the bandits from other hills to attack.

Sanshui City is very large, and Guangdefang and Anrenfang are far apart. Fortunately, there is a giant whale gate sign, so pedestrians and other carriages on the road are very polite and give way.

Even so, it took an hour and a half to reach Guangdefang. Yes, we only arrived and entered the area of ​​Guangdefang, but we didn't reach Guangde Hall.

After about fifteen minutes, he finally arrived at his loyal Guangde Hall.

The hall is far worse than the main hall.

There was no other way. Guangdefang was a poor place. Compared with the most prosperous Anrenfang, it was more than ten streets away. The fact that there was a hall was because it was funded by the Jujing Sect.

Before coming, he read the detailed information of Guangde Hall.

Guangdefang is one of the countless civilian wards, with a total of 1,800 households. The average population of each household is about ten people.

Eighteen thousand people!

Less?

less.

Because of the densely populated civilian area, three or five people can be killed at once. The most ruthless ones can even have a hundred thousand people. There are many people in the area, and there are many leaders, so the hall master will not be too busy.

The population of the Noble Quarter is the smallest, and it is the least troublesome, but also the most troublesome. It is troublesome because the people are self-governing, and there is no industry in the Quarter, so it is very peaceful.

Is it bad? Hehe.

Who wouldn't be upset if there were a group of big shots living in your territory who could kill you with just one word?
Generally, the residential quarters of the rich and powerful may have dozens of households at most, and the area is larger than the quarters of ordinary people with a population of 100,000. There is no way, they are rich and powerful, and if they don't have 300 to 500 servants to serve them, how can they be called rich and powerful?

As for the economy, the business run by Guangdetang in Guangdefang can bring in about 8,000 taels of silver every month, which means almost 100,000 taels of silver in a year.

The headquarters, or the sect leader, will take away 70%!

Of course, you can reimburse some accounts upwards.

For example: repairing the hall, distributing some gifts to the disciples during festivals, etc. As long as the reason is not too outrageous, the main hall will generally approve it.

However, you have to be sensible and give them some kickbacks. Secondly, don't offend the people in the headquarters.

"Such an ordinary workshop can earn tens of thousands of taels of silver every year. No wonder Mr. Liu has the money to transfer the positions of both father and son."

Guangdetang has 30,000 taels of silver left over each year, plus miscellaneous reimbursements, the total amount is more than 40,000 taels of silver a year, which is not a problem.

More than 40,000 taels of silver cannot be put into the pocket of the hall master alone. The wages of the members of the hall are paid by the hall itself, and the main hall does not care about their wages!
Guangde Hall has a total of 300 disciples. If we take the average salary, each person gets 5 taels of silver per month. In a year, each person needs 60 taels of silver, and 300 people need a total of 18,000 taels of silver.

The disciples had more than one way to receive salary. If they occasionally asked for money in the market, they could get dozens of taels of silver even if they were poor in a year. In a year, they could get a hundred taels of silver, which was much more than what the fishermen earned.

It’s no wonder that everyone wants to climb into the Giant Whale Gate; the treatment is really too good.

"Hello, Master!!"

Hundreds of people gathered at the gate of Guangde Hall.

There were three people leading the group, which made He Sheng frown as he got off the carriage.

"If I remember correctly, there should be four leaders in the gang, right?"

"Master, the big boss is Zhang Qiao."

Without waiting for the leader to finish his words, he suddenly raised his hand to stop the other person from continuing.

"Okay, let's go back to the hall first."

A group of people returned to Guangde Hall in a mighty procession.

In the lobby, a man named He was sitting in the main seat.

"Give me all the accounts for the past year and a half. I want to check them."

This one sentence made the three leaders change color instantly.

Without the pressure from the hall master, the leaders made a lot of money, and they did it wildly. Although the two previous hall masters were the most ruthless and unruly in making money, they were already in prison.

The mess has to be borne by these four leaders.

"Besides, the number of the disciples I saw doesn't seem to be 300. It looks like there are around 150 at most."

Eating a salary without working!
It's an essential skill for the army. I never thought that your sect has also learned it.

My grandma’s salary of nine thousand taels of silver was for nothing, and I haven’t even received one.

No, that's not right.

The bonuses and gifts during festivals and holidays can be enjoyed by those who are half the number of people. According to the nature of the people in the headquarters and the revelations of the twelve leaders in Zuixianju last night.

There are two major festivals in Sanshui City. The Giant Whale Sect stipulates that the rewards for the sect members must not be less than the monthly salary. Among them, the main hall will eat half. The remaining two and a half taels of five taels are left, and the hall master and the leaders will take about 60% of the remaining: one tael and a half.

One hundred and fifteen people are empty, two festivals means five taels, seven hundred and fifty taels! Add some gifts, more than a thousand taels is no problem.

That’s ten thousand taels of silver every year!

"Let me introduce you. This is the accountant from the main hall, and he has been in this position for twenty years." A well-mannered man named He patted his shoulder and got off the carriage with him.

It's over.

The three leaders' vision suddenly went dark.

The old accountant, or the old accountant in the main hall, must be well aware of the money-making methods in the sect.
