The destiny of all heavens begins in the Red Chamber

After returning to Yuezhou and handing over the mission certificate to the Bounty Hall, receiving the reward as payment, he finally relaxed completely.

But for some reason, besides feeling tired and depressed, I also felt a bit excited.

Clearly, this experience was quite a shock to him, but at the same time it also stimulated his physical potential.

As long as he goes back and rests properly, even if his strength doesn't improve significantly, his combat ability should at least be much stronger than before!

This is the best news for him!

After happily returning to Hengyang City, he told his master Liu Zhengfeng everything about the unexpected encounters during the mission and the subsequent gains.

"Indeed, caution is always wise when navigating the martial world!"

Liu Zhengfeng was also startled. After regaining his senses, he couldn't help but exclaim, "You did a great job. Go back and get some rest. Come see me again when you've fully recovered!"

Jia Huan, on the other hand, planned to personally go to Wudang.

In Hunan Province, the Beggars' Sect's strongholds have spread throughout the entire province, even in Hengyang City, the stronghold of the Hengshan Sect.

Even if the Beggars' Sect's stronghold in Hengyang City is only a handful of people, and they can't even set up an incense hall, having a stronghold and not having a stronghold are two completely different things.

It can be said that the Beggars' Sect's strength has increased significantly since Jia Huan's rise to power.

While other benefits have not yet materialized, the ability to gather information about various parts of Hunan Province has been significantly enhanced.

Whenever something significant happens in a particular place, Jia Huan quickly learns about it.

He attached great importance to this and even set up a department to organize and record the various information collected, categorizing them and keeping them safe.

It may not be of any use right now, but no one can be sure whether this information can be used in the future to do something good for the branch or even the entire Beggars' Sect.

Moreover, with the existence of strongholds, the Beggars' Sect's efficiency in mobilizing manpower and resources has significantly improved.

Putting aside everything else, when the Yuezhou branch engages in chivalrous acts, both the effectiveness and efficiency are significantly improved, and its reputation and prestige also grow rapidly.

Unfortunately, as I said before, the branch headquarters has far too few capable personnel.

The number of third-rate martial arts masters has increased considerably, but for the entire Hunan province, it's just a drop in the ocean.

Otherwise, he would insist on having a third-rate martial arts brother stationed at each stronghold.

At that time, it wouldn't just be that intelligence gathering would be faster and the overall operational efficiency of the Beggars' Sect would be improved; Jia Huan's reputation and influence would also see a dramatic increase.

If he had enough second-rate martial arts masters under his command, he could even completely undermine the government system in Hunan Province without the officials easily noticing!

Unfortunately, the only place he could directly influence was the Yuezhou branch.

If the entire Beggars' Sect were under his control, when the story of The Smiling, Proud Wanderer begins, the strength of the Beggars' Sect alone would not be much weaker than that of the Five Mountains Alliance!

When that time comes, he can completely change the entire world of Laughing at the world!

His rich experience in the world of Dream of the Red Chamber gave him a new perspective and understanding of Zuo Lengchan's ambitious desire to unify the Five Mountains Sword Sects.

When considering the political situation during the Jiajing reign, even more speculation arises.

Of course, there's no point in thinking about all this right now.

His own strength has only just entered the first-class level of the martial arts world. Although his combat power is no less than that of veteran first-class masters, he still cannot act recklessly in the martial arts world.

The branch's power was insufficient for him to do much more.

If he only acted arrogantly within Hunan Province, Jia Huan would look down on him.

So, he wanted to discuss with Wudang about spreading their branch forces all over Hubei Province.

As for whether Wudang would agree, Jia Huan wasn't very sure, but how could he not give it a try?

Of course, if it's time to show off his martial arts skills, he won't hold back.

It would be a good thing to be able to exchange and spar with the real masters of Wudang!

Unexpectedly, he received a positive response from the other side as soon as he sent the message.

Chapter 436 Opportunity (Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets)

Jia Huanxing hurriedly crossed the river and proposed the idea of ​​visiting the gate of Wudang Mountain.

Unfortunately, he was politely declined by the Wudang outer sect elder who had come to greet him.

"As our sect leader has said, Wudang will agree to any request made by Chief Jia that is not excessive!"

The next moment, this person gave a very favorable reply.

"That's it..."

Jia Huan chuckled and, without any hesitation, explained his purpose for the trip clearly and explicitly.

"Master Jia certainly has quite the appetite!"

The Wudang outer sect elder asked in surprise, "Is the Beggars' Sect already prepared?"

"I've already spoken with the gang leader, and everything is ready at the Yuezhou branch!"

Jia Huan said calmly, "We must distribute our manpower, otherwise we'll have to start fighting amongst ourselves!"

The resources of a province are limited, and the Beggars' Sect can only consume so much of it.

The Hengshan Sect also needs to eat meat, and so do the smaller factions and wandering martial artists; naturally, they also need a sip of soup.

In recent years, the Yuezhou branch has been extremely effective in cracking down on mountain bandits, river bandits, and other criminals, and has also purged a group of the most lawless gentry and landlords. This is why the business environment in the entire Hunan province has reached a very high level.

The annual revenue from commercial circulation alone is enough to feed and entertain the branch headquarters.

The problem is that the Beggars' Sect doesn't just have the Yuezhou branch.

It's not like the Yuezhou branch can get all the meat while the other branches don't even get a drop of soup, is it?

At the Junshan Island headquarters, the distribution of profits among the various branch headquarters has been a source of endless disputes in recent years. While the branch headquarters can remain relatively stable for now, problems are bound to arise in the long run.

Of course, this is also a new problem caused by the policy of the Yuezhou branch.

That means the Junshan Island headquarters has received too much tribute money. According to Jia Huan's suggestion, a large portion of it should be used to provide targeted support to certain aspects of the branch headquarters.

For example, the Yuezhou branch invests a lot of money in education, healthcare, and accommodation.

As for the headquarters on Junshan Island, they don't necessarily need to give more, but they should at least give something to show that the headquarters values ​​them.

In recent years, the Yuezhou branch has done an outstanding job in talent development and attracting external personnel.

It was so outstanding that some of the eight-bag and nine-bag elders on Junshan Island were quite restless.

Even if they wanted to heavily recruit talent from the Yuezhou branch, the Yuezhou branch's talent development system was already on track. As long as the system remained intact, they had no worries about being undermined.

Meanwhile, the other branch offices were not too happy either!

The talents transferred from the Junshan Island headquarters are eventually assigned to various branch offices, which easily impacts the original interest systems of other branch offices.

Even those talents transferred from headquarters are actually unwilling.

Although their time at the Yuezhou branch was tough, their treatment was quite good.

It just means wearing clothes with patches, not actual beggar's clothes.

They didn't need to be unkempt; in fact, under the strict hygiene regulations of the branch, their personal hygiene was much better than that of ordinary people.

The branch headquarters took care of everything for them: meals, martial arts training, and even medical treatment when they were sick, and the resources were quite good.

The accommodation has changed from the old straw-stacked communal sleeping area to eight-person dormitories, which are better than ordinary people's homes.

Aside from being nominally beggars, their standard of living and other benefits are better than those of ordinary people; all they need to do is work hard and sweat.

If you have a unique skill, life will be even more comfortable.

For example, someone who is good at roasting beggar's chicken, or someone who has the skills to catch or even raise snakes.

Such individuals are highly sought after in the branch headquarters; they can become quite wealthy simply by relying on their skills.

With such good resources and benefits, most of the talents cultivated by the branch are unwilling to go to the headquarters on Junshan Island, let alone other branch offices.

The battle between clean and polluted forces at headquarters is not over yet, and the situation in other branch offices is not so good.

Sometimes, apart from the branch leaders, even the lower-ranking officers had to beg on the streets.

The brothers of the Yuezhou branch, who had become accustomed to normal life, could hardly stand this.

However, the resources that the Yuezhou branch can provide are also limited.

After all, it is an agricultural society with a limited capacity for productivity. Hunan Province's geographical environment and resources are not particularly good, so it can only expand outwards. Why would it want to engage in involution?

"That's fine, as long as the Beggars' Sect disciples don't break the rules!"

The outer elder of Wudang chuckled, "Sect Leader, you seem to have a high opinion of Chief Jia!"

Jia Huan was somewhat suspicious, thinking to himself, if they really thought highly of him, why wouldn't they give him a chance to meet him?

However, he was too lazy to think about it and simply said, "Then thank you all from Wudang!"

"Don't worry, this expansion of the Beggars' Sect is actually a good thing for Wudang!"

The Wudang outer sect elders thought Jia Huan was just bragging, but did they not see that the leader of the Jianli Jianghe Gang, who was traveling with them, had his eyes shining?

After finalizing the arrangements for the Beggars' Sect to establish strongholds throughout Hubei Province, Jia Huan did not linger. He returned directly to the Yuezhou branch without even having a meal to plan the next steps in the expansion.

At the same time, we also need to communicate with Junshan Island to see how to coordinate and dispatch manpower across the river!

He had initially expected an unpleasant struggle.
