Five Elements Sect, Zhang Wanjing Cave

Zhang Wanjing and Zhang Shuhua held a booklet in their hands, which recorded three short stories, namely Shang Yang's Reform, Wang Anshi's Reform and Zhang Juzheng's Reform.

Of course, it is impossible to be the original meaning, they were all changed by Lin Jiang, and their backgrounds were all placed in the territory of Yunzhou.

For example, Shang Yang's Reform is about the mutual annexation of seven villages and towns, and then a man named Shang Yang gave advice to the village chief.

The same is true for Wang Anshi's Reform and Zhang Juzheng's Reform. The backgrounds were changed to certain villages and towns, but the meaning was not lost.

"Shang Yang, Wang Anshi, and Zhang Juzheng are rare talents. If they can be used by me, it will be of great benefit. Xiao Yi, are they still alive?"

"They are dead. The people who wrote the travel notes are dead. They are just mortals."

"Then are Qin Village, Song Village, and Ming Village still alive? I will visit them if I have a chance."

"How should I know? The author didn't say."

Lin Jiang said. He has tried his best to fill in the logical thinking of the story. If there are still loopholes, he will quit.

"Junior brother, is it useful for you to show these three stories to my father?"

"There is a saying that history is a mirror that can help us understand the rise and fall of nations. Any reform is essentially the same. If someone provides us with examples, then we should learn from them. We should not repeat the pits that others have walked through,"

said Lin Jiang. There is a saying that the only lesson mankind has learned from history is that mankind never learns lessons, but Lin Jiang hopes to break this curse. The world of cultivation is a place full of hope.

"Shuhua, learn from me. Your junior brother is smarter than you."

"Yes, Dad."

"Xiao Yi, tell me what lessons we can learn from these three stories."

"The first one is Shang Yang's reform. There were seven villages in the place where he lived. Qin Village was not the only village that reformed to become stronger. Why did he succeed while others failed? It was because of the support of the superiors. When the superiors support you unwaveringly, you can succeed, but once they waver, the end will be tragic. So

the first lesson is that you don't need the support of the superiors, but you have to become the superiors yourself. It's not okay for Master to preside over this matter with the cultivation of Jindan Daquan. You must break through the cultivation and become Yuanying. In this way, even if you can't be the master of the entire Five Elements Sect, you will have the strength to compete with them head-on."

"The second one is Wang Anshi's reform. The biggest loophole of Wang Anshi's reform is that he didn't know how to use people. It was obviously a good policy, but it became a bad thing when it was implemented. So the second lesson learned is that you need to have a sufficient team, and your subordinates must be of the same mind as the master, and they must also be capable, not just boastful people."

"The third reform of Zhang Juzheng was quite successful, but as soon as he died, he was immediately purged, and the results of the reform were wiped out. The lesson we have to learn is to outlive the enemy. When a policy comes out, it can be maintained only when the beneficiaries of this policy become truly powerful. Otherwise, as soon as the master dies, all the policies will still be overturned,"

said Lin Jiang. In fact, there were many reformers and changers in the history of Blue Star, but he couldn't remember them all, and the history class only focused on these three. Otherwise, he could continue to make changes.

"So, Xiao Yi means that if I want to do this, I must break through first?"

"Yes, it is a must. For the sake of the sect, you must become strong, otherwise your reform is doomed to fail."

"Dad, what junior brother said makes sense. I am only in the Foundation Establishment stage. If I were Golden Core now, I would try my best to achieve it."

"That makes sense, but do you think Nascent Soul is easy to achieve?"

Zhang Wanjing didn't know whether to laugh or cry. In the world of immortal cultivation, the probability of breaking through and advancing is about one in ten. About one in ten Qi training stages can break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, and about one in ten Foundation Establishment stages can break through to the Golden Core stage. And only one in ten Golden Core stages has a chance of breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage. How could he, Zhang Wanjing, be so worthy of the title that he could break through if he wanted.

"If it is not difficult for Master to break through, then it is better not to carry out this reform, because it is doomed to fail and will cost many lives"

"I will think about it again"

"Dad..."

"Okay, I said I would consider it. I am not a fool. Would I do anything reckless if I knew it would fail?"

"Yes, Dad"

"You guys go and do your work first. I will take a look at these pamphlets,"

said Zhang Wanjing. He was very interested in these three stories. The reforms of these three people could make a weak, corrupt and incompetent village become strong. The Five Elements Sect is still strong now. If he can do it, wouldn't the Five Elements Sect become the largest sect in Yunzhou?

"Junior Brother Xiao, why are you in such a hurry to find me?"

Yue Qing came to Lin Jiang's cave. He received a message from Lin Jiang and came here in a hurry.

"Senior Brother Yue, I'm here to inform you that we should no longer have any business involvement. Don't give me money for the things you do. And don't use my name for everything out there. I won't recognize you in the future."

"Why? Junior Brother Xiao, if you are not satisfied with the share, we can talk about it again."

Yue Qing immediately became anxious. He couldn't understand why Lin Jiang suddenly wanted to withdraw. Without any news from Lin Jiang, how could he make money so easily? He was still counting on making more money from Lin Jiang.

"This has nothing to do with the shares. I just don't want to do it anymore."

"Junior brother Xiao, please don't joke around. Everything is fine. Did I accidentally do something to let you down? I apologize to you, okay?"

"Senior brother, do you think I'm acting on impulse?"

"Junior brother, there must be a reason."

"You'll know the reason later. Anyway, do as I say. If you don't do as I say, I won't admit it in the future."

Lin Jiang shook his head. Once Zhang Wanjing started the reform, the enemy would definitely counterattack. Lin Jiang couldn't hold Zhang Wanjing back. What he and Yue Qing did were all skirting the rules. They were both formal and illegal. Isn't this to learn from the lessons of those reforms?

"Junior brother, you and I have known each other for decades. Don't we have any trust at all?"

Yue Qing was angry. Don't people have any trust at all? Did something happen above? Why didn't he tell him?

"Brother, this matter has nothing to do with you, but it has something to do with me. If you don't want to be implicated by me, you'd better take the initiative to cut off contact. Not only you, but also others. I have cut off contact. That's all. No need to say more."

"Brother, I..."

"Let's leave it at that for today. If the matter is over, I will take the initiative to find you."

Lin Jiang waved his hand and sent him away. He didn't want to say anything more.

After sending Yue Qing away, Lin Jiang calmed down and thought carefully about how to give advice to Zhang Wanjing. The reforms in the mortal world are definitely different from those

in the immortal world. If you copy them, you will die. Compared with the mortal world, the biggest problem in the immortal world is the big guys. The big guys in the mortal world are also ordinary people. They will turn into ghosts with one knife, so the best way is physical salvation.

But it's not the case in the immortal world. The Yuanying big guys can beat Lin Jiang, a thousand of them, and they will turn into ghosts with one knife. Besides, the Five Elements Sect relies on these big guys to support the facade. If the big guys are dealt with, the Five Elements Sect will be finished.

"So the reform of the world of immortal cultivation is not just about redistributing benefits, but about making the pie bigger. Those who deserve it should still be given, or even more, but at the same time, the immortal cultivators at the bottom should be given a chance. Only in this way can it be a successful and perfect reform."

Lin Jiang pondered for a long time and came up with this sentence. Perhaps this is the most correct reform, but it is also the most difficult to achieve. If the pie can really be made bigger, the Five Elements Sect will not be like this.
