The head of the Internal Affairs Hall of the Five Elements Sect,

who was only seen twice a year, appeared. Several deputy heads and a group of senior stewards also appeared. The head of the hall read out the new work arrangement for Zhang Wanjing in public, asking him to hand over 90% of the affairs in his hands and to manage the spiritual fields in the future, and they were low-level spiritual fields

. The Five Elements Sect has a lot of spiritual fields, up to millions of acres, of which 90% are low-level spiritual fields, used to grow spiritual grains, low-level spiritual medicines, and some other things, including low-level spiritual fruits, spiritual herbs for making low-level spiritual talismans, etc.

These are the most basic things for cultivators, even an ordinary steward can be responsible for them. Letting Zhang Wanjing, who has reached the great perfection of the Golden Elixir, manage it is obviously a suppression.

"Deputy Hall Master Zhang, your position as deputy hall master is still there, and your salary will not change. This is a decision made by the elders, and more than half of them have voted. You should execute it, and don't make it difficult for me,"

the hall master said to Zhang Wanjing. They didn't kill him, but gave him the salary he deserved, and kept his position as deputy hall master. But he was told not to do anything else in the future. If Zhang Wanjing didn't break through the Nascent Soul stage, he would have to farm for the rest of his life.

"I will follow the decision of the elders."

"Thank you, Wanjing. Your disciple and son can stay in the Internal Affairs Hall, and their positions will not change."

"Hall Master, I am willing to follow Master,"

Lin Jiang immediately stood up and said. If he didn't have Zhang Wanjing's support in the Internal Affairs Hall, he would be nothing. He would just be a runner, and he didn't want to stay here.

"Yes, Shuhua, what about you?"

"I'll follow my father too."

"It's all allowed, so you should be in charge,"

said the hall master. He left a way out for others so that they could meet again in the future. The elders didn't kill them all because they were afraid that Zhang Wanjing could break through the Nascent Soul stage and there would be no room for maneuver if they met him in the future. Secondly, he really has a background, so if the ancestor comes back, it will be easy to explain.

"Thank you, hall master."

"That's it, I'm leaving first, deputy hall master Jin, you hand over."

"Yes, hall master,"

said deputy hall master Jin on the side with a smile. Zhang Wanjing usually holds all the power, but now the power is in his hands, and without Zhang Wanjing making trouble, doesn't he have the final say in the Internal Affairs Hall?

"Brother Zhang, look..."

"Give me a day to hand over the matter."

"No problem, I can come for a few more days."

"I want to be quiet for a while."

"Okay, okay, go out, let Deputy Hall Master Zhang be quiet for a while."

Deputy Hall Master Jin actively drove everyone away, leaving a quiet environment for Zhang Wanjing.

······

"Your father was hit hard this time."

"No, you know my father's character, he is indomitable."

"The Five Elements Sect is slowly starting to fall apart."

"Brother, can't you hope for something good?"

"You don't understand."

Lin Jiang shook his head. Zhang Wanjing was the banner of doing practical things among the senior leaders of the Five Elements Sect. In the past few years, Lin Jiang saw clearly that all the people doing things in the Internal Affairs Hall were pulled by Zhang Wanjing, supporting them and trying to get benefits for them as much as possible. Now that Zhang Wanjing has been suppressed, these people will also be unlucky in the future.

No matter how much they do and how much effort they put in, most of the results will be taken away by others, and no one will support them anymore. When these people are disappointed, everyone will give up.

However, this kind of thing will not take effect immediately, and it will last for a long time, maybe three to five years, maybe thirty to fifty years. Unless someone like Zhang Wanjing appears again in the middle, it will sooner or later make everyone disappointed.

Zhang Wanjing may have figured it out. A day later, Zhang Wanjing moved out of the Internal Affairs Hall, which is the headquarters of many institutions and has many branches.

Zhang Wanjing's new office is located in a place called Jackdaw Mountain. It is said that a group of jackdaws used to live here, hence the name.

Jackdaw Mountain is more than a hundred miles away from the core area of ​​the mountain gate. It is definitely a cold place, and even the office space is shabby.

There used to be more than a dozen deacons stationed on Jackdaw Mountain. Now that the great god Zhang Wanjing is here, it is natural to give up the best position.

"Deacon, intermediate deacon, senior deacon, steward, intermediate steward, senior steward, deputy hall master, your father was demoted six levels at once."

Lin Jiang sighed and said to Zhang Shuhua. There are six levels from deacon to deputy hall master. These are the levels of management personnel in the Five Elements Sect. Zhang Wanjing was demoted six levels at once. If it were him, he would not be able to bear it.

"You and I are the same. We are in the name of stewards and do the work of deacons."

"Haha, I don't care. I was originally an outer disciple."

"It's the same for me. There is no difference."

Zhang Shuhua has a good mentality. He started from scratch when he entered the sect. At worst, he can come back again.

"Stop chatting and come in to do things."

"Yes, Master, what are we doing now?"

"We should do whatever the sect asks us to do. If we are asked to farm, we should farm. Find the information of low-level spiritual fields over the years, read it again, sort out the data, and see how many spiritual fields the sect has used over the years and how many spiritual grains and spiritual medicines it has planted. Don't think you can be lazy just because you are sent here."

"Ahem, Master, I just looked at it. There are three rooms of data, all of which are jade slips. Some of the jade slips have been scattered. The contents inside are gone."

Lin Jiang suddenly felt overwhelmed. How long would it take to finish reading the jade slips in three rooms?

"There is plenty of time to read them. I will read them with you. Stop talking nonsense."

Zhang Wanjing glared at Lin Jiang, and then went to find the original deacon, asking him to take the three people to the database and bring back piles of jade slips.

Immortal cultivators can read jade slips very quickly. They can remember them in their minds with a scan of their spiritual consciousness. However, it is a bit difficult to organize the data in them. They have to carefully distinguish, extract and record the data. This is definitely a huge project.

Zhang Wanjing called the five stewards of Jackdaw Mountain together. The eight people were busy for a whole month before they sorted out the data of the Five Elements Sect within the past 100 years. It was no longer possible to read the data before that. Those jade slips were not carefully preserved, and the recorded spiritual consciousness was scattered. Most of the contents were gone, and they could not be read at all.

"Master, the data is out. Take a look. Do you want me to interpret it?"

Lin Jiang integrated the data provided by others and used some modern mathematical statistical methods to make some charts. It took him three days.

"I don't understand yours. Where did you learn it?" "I

figured it out myself. Let me explain it to you. This is the annual planting area, that is, how many acres, and this is the amount handed over to the sect..."

Lin Jiang explained the charts one by one. From the charts, it can be seen that in the past hundred years, the output of low-level spiritual medicines in the spiritual valley of the Five Elements Sect has not increased, and even fluctuated a lot, but the total number is about the same, because the sect requires that the number of acres planted must be handed over to the sect. Most people can complete the task. As for how much is left after completing the task, it is difficult to say. It is not written in the information.

"Xiao Yi, you have been farming in Qingyang Mountain for twenty years. Tell me, is the workload of the sect high?"

"High, very high."

"Really?"

"Yes, Master, you can find a farming disciple and you will know. With the ability of a cultivator, a person can plant a maximum of 200 acres of land, which already takes up most of the cultivator's time. Judging from the fertilizer and tools provided by the sect, the yield per mu is about 500 kilograms. After completing the sect's task of 300 kilograms, one mu of land only yields 200 kilograms. 200 acres means 40,000 kilograms of spiritual grain. According to the current market price, it is less than 200 spirit stones, and this is not the final income, because you are too busy to plant and harvest by yourself, so you have to pay people, and in the end you only get 130 or 140 spirit stones."

Lin Jiang said. Spiritual grain can only be planted once a year. If a cultivator does not rely on immortal cultivation techniques, he will only earn more than 100 spirit stones a year, which is already very cheap.

"One hundred and thirty or four, then how come you planted more than a thousand acres a year before?"

"I hired people, and I basically didn't make much money. I earned resources by drawing talismans."

Lin Jiang was embarrassed to say that he was lazy in farming, and he had a few hundred acres more than the number of acres he rented, so he didn't have to hand in the task, which was equivalent to taxation.

"In other words, planting spiritual grains is almost not profitable, and only those disciples with no background and no skills can plant them?" "

That's about the situation."

"What about low-level spiritual medicines?"

"I don't quite understand this. Planting spiritual medicines is more difficult than planting spiritual grains, and the requirements are much higher. If it's planted by one person, one person can plant 20 acres at most, and more is not okay, and we can't take care of it."

"I understand, cultivation is not easy, not just for casual cultivators,"

Zhang Wanjing said. Among the disciples of the sect, there are those who are glorious, but they are a minority after all. Most disciples are still struggling to find food and clothing, and a lot of time is wasted on earning resources. How can their cultivation compare with others?

"Xiao Yi, what do you think? How about I ask the sect to reduce the amount of spiritual grains we hand in?"

"Master, I'm afraid that won't work. These spiritual grains are to be provided to more than 100,000 people in the sect. The sect won't agree, and this is also a way for the sect to select talents."

Lin Jiang shook his head. Providing food and being self-sufficient are still small matters. The main thing is to select talents. In this difficult situation, whoever can break through will be the talent the sect needs.

"Then in your opinion, how can we achieve results in this matter?"

"If it's just spiritual grains, it's actually not difficult."

"Oh, what do you mean?"

"I'll introduce someone to you tomorrow and you'll know,"

Lin Jiang said. He thought of Zheng Yi. They have a technical team. If they can promote their technology, then it won't be a big problem to increase the output of spiritual grains, and the per capita planting area will also soar.

Give ordinary cultivators a complete set of tools and techniques, and everyone will definitely plant more than 200 acres, and thousands of acres will be easy.
