Hunyuan Immortal Sect

Chapter 28 Talents are revealed
Song Xian said sternly, "Finance is the foundation of the sect. Without financial resources, the sect cannot continue, let alone develop."

"Money matters are of paramount importance and must not be taken lightly."

"In order to ensure the safekeeping of the sect's property, we need an open and transparent property management system. From now on, the sect's property will be kept by Senior Brother Lin Zixiang, Senior Brother Lu Yuan will be responsible for record keeping, I will be responsible for the distribution of the property, and everyone will be responsible for supervision."

"From now on, we will hold a financial meeting every three months, and everyone can participate. During the meeting, every financial expenditure must be reconciled to ensure that all expenditures are reasonable and there is no corruption or embezzlement."

"Today, in front of everyone, I must be frank. If anyone embezzles the sect's funds for personal gain, I will not tolerate it. I also ask my fellow disciples to monitor me. If you discover that I have embezzled funds, please bring it up during the financial meeting. I will resign as the headmaster and accept the punishment."

"Does everyone understand?"

Everyone nodded in agreement. Seeing that everyone looked much more excited than before, Song Xian nodded with satisfaction.

The reason why he distributed magic tools and talismans to everyone was, firstly, to meet emergency needs, and secondly, to reward everyone and establish his own prestige.

His own cultivation level is low and he is young. Although he has received the last orders from Zhang Hunyuan, people may not obey him. Therefore, he needs to buy people's hearts with money. Only when others benefit from you will they recognize you and be willing to follow you.

"Today will be the first financial meeting of our sect. The next meeting will be held in three months. Since you left the sect, your salaries have not been paid in the past two months. We will simply wait until we arrive in the western border and then pay them all at once. We will adjust your salaries then, but I assure you that not only will you not lose a single spirit stone, but it will only be more than what you had at the original Qingyun Sect mountain gate, not less."

When everyone heard this, they were all happy, and Jiang Zichen cheered even more.

"Okay, everyone go and rest!" Song Xian waved his hand, and several people left the room, only Zhong Wenyuan sat still.

After everyone left, Song Xian looked at him and said, "Brother Wenyuan, what advice do you have?"

"Good." Zhong Wenyuan nodded in appreciation. "Hunyuan didn't make the wrong choice. I was worried that you were too young and inexperienced to take on the responsibility of leading everyone to the Western Frontier. Now it seems that my concerns were unnecessary."

"With just a few words and a single action, you pulled everyone out of their dejected, lost, and confused state, cheering them up and filling them with anticipation and longing for the trip to Western Xinjiang. Even the old sect leader couldn't surpass you in this."

"Brother Wenyuan, your praise is truly unbelievable. I truly deserve it. I'm just doing my best."

"You just said that you would adjust everyone's salaries after arriving in Western Xinjiang. Do you have any specific plans?"

"To be honest, I'm just saying this. I haven't thought it through yet. I just want to give everyone a sense of purpose. We'll discuss the details after we get to Western Xinjiang!"

Zhong Wenyuan said, "I have no objection to your salary adjustments, but I still want to advise you not to give unlimited rewards or increase everyone's salaries just to gain their favor or trust. This is not a long-term solution."

"We only have so many spirit stones on hand, so we have to plan carefully. If we spend them all at once, the sect will naturally fall apart without spirit stones."

"People are like this. If you increase everyone's salary, everyone will be happy. But if one day you cancel the increase, everyone will start to complain and even hate you."

"So we must be cautious about raising salaries."

Song Xian said, "Thank you, Senior Brother Wenyuan, for your guidance. I understand. We'll discuss the salary increase in detail after we arrive in Western Xinjiang."

Zhong Wenyuan nodded, said nothing more, and left the room. Song Xian lay on the bed, looking at the white stone wall above his head, his mind racing.

When he first took over the position of headmaster from Zhang Hunyuan, he was indeed a little confused, his mind was in a mess and he didn't know what to do.

But things had developed to this point, so he had no choice but to do his best. Not to mention, he felt that he did have some talent for being a helmsman.

The words he just said made everyone look at him with new eyes, and the respect in their eyes was genuine.

In fact, he had long been fed up with the chaos in Qingyun Sect, but he used to be a small fry and had no say in the sect's development and planning. Now that he had somehow gotten the status of the sect leader, he had the opportunity to show his talents.

He would never continue to use the stupid and backward system of Qingyun Sect. He had many new ideas in his mind.

The most important thing is to establish a complete system of institutions. Only a superior system can bring about strong productivity. However, this must be done step by step. Now there are only ten people, and any excellent system is useless. The first priority is to stabilize people's hearts.

Otherwise, if everyone goes their separate ways and there are no people left, the system will be of no use.

If you want your sect to develop, the first thing is to employ people. As long as people are employed in the right positions and allowed to display their strengths, there will be no problems.

After spending these few months together, Song Xian has gained some understanding of their respective personalities.

Among the nine people now, Zhong Wenyuan has reached the eighth level of Qi Refining, has three-attribute spiritual roots, is mature and steady, and has long helped the old headmaster Zhang Shilin to handle sect affairs. He has rich experience in government affairs and can be put in charge of sect affairs.

Lin Zixiang also has the eighth level of Qi Refining and has dual-attribute spiritual roots, making him an important candidate for cultivation within the sect. However, he is somewhat rigid and inflexible, making him only suitable for serving as the sect's front man, not for managing specific affairs.

Zhang Yi is a cultivator at the sixth level of Qi Refining, with four spiritual attributes. He is a relatively loyal person and can be entrusted with some law-abiding matters.

Lu Yuan has reached the sixth level of Qi Refining and has three spiritual roots. He is also a relatively responsible person and can be entrusted with tasks that follow the rules but are not too burdensome, so as not to delay his cultivation.

Zhong Yang has reached the fifth level of Qi Refining and has four spiritual roots. He is the nephew of Zhong Wenyuan's clan and is a quiet person, so he can help Zhong Wenyuan handle affairs.

Zhang Ningyuan has reached the fifth level of Qi Refining and has four spiritual roots. He has a flexible mind and is very good at observing people's expressions. He can be entrusted with some external affairs, such as the etiquette of welcoming and seeing off guests, or gathering information, etc.

Xu Ning, a man of the fifth level of Qi Refining and possessing four spiritual roots, was a very opinionated person. He was also the first to join the group and decide to travel to the Western Frontier. This person could also be put in charge of some external affairs.

Jiang Zichen and Shen Fan are both at the first level of Qi Refining. Both children are too young, so we will see later.

Jiang Zichen has three spiritual roots. He is lively and active, and has a strong opinion at a young age.

Shen Fan has four spiritual roots and is a dull person. He even looks a little slow and takes a long time to say a word.

It's strange that these two people can become good friends.
