I built the Jade Capital with the Netherworld

Chapter 147 Reopening the Palace of the Goddess of Childbirth

"Master, the nursing home is currently developing very well..."

Jiang Wenyu talked eloquently, reporting on many aspects, including the land Taoist temple, disciples' chores, promotion system, economic income, etc., covering every detail.

Hearing Lu Wujiu nodding frequently, he was indeed a veteran. Although it was his first time as a senior executive, he did a good job.

Unexpectedly, at the end of the report, Jiang Wenyu changed the subject:
"Although nursing homes are currently flourishing, they also have hidden dangers. If not handled properly, they could be in jeopardy."

"Oh? Tell me carefully."

"The biggest problem facing the Liangyi Sect right now is that we have too few businesses and can't make ends meet."

Jiang Wenyu's face was filled with worry. This was his biggest worry since he took charge of the Lao Lu Nursing Home.

The elderly people in the nursing home almost all live there for free, but everything from food, clothing, housing and transportation costs money, and the disciples in the sect also need resources for practice.

Now, every time he opens his eyes, all he thinks about is money, money, money.

The only income at present is Lao Lu medicinal materials, which is entirely due to Lao Lu Mountain God. The income is not much and the years are insufficient.

At this point, Jiang Wenyu felt a little nervous.

He was very worried that this was just a perfunctory gesture from the old Lushan God.

If I don’t tell you, I will feel sorry for Lu Wujiu’s kindness. If I tell you, I will offend the old Lushan God.

"Laolv Mountain once suffered a disaster, and the medicinal herbs were almost completely lost. The fact that it can still produce medicinal herbs now is the result of proper management."

Lu Wujiu took the initiative to explain for the Old Lu Mountain God.

"I see. It was I who wrongly blamed the Mountain God."

"You did very well."

Lu Wujiu affirmed, feeling a bit of a headache in his heart.

Today, the old legal system is becoming increasingly powerful and its economy should be independent. From a certain perspective, it should not be a provider but a recipient.

——He provided shelter to the sect, and the sect provided him with resources for cultivation.

This is also the development model of most sects.

From a human nature perspective, no one would provide resources for a group of non-blood relatives.

Unless it is a private cultivation family.

However, such families often find it difficult to grow and prosper.

The reason is simple. Cultivation is to seize the fortune of heaven and earth. In the early stages of cultivation, when it is impossible to seize the fortune of heaven and earth, one can only seize one's own fortune and cultivate the innate primordial qi.

For female cultivators, the first hurdle on the road to cultivation is to slay the red dragon.

Only by killing the red dragon can we stop losing our blood and essence.

However, once the red dragon is killed, the ability to reproduce will be lost.

Therefore, if monks want to reproduce, their female partners are mostly ordinary people.

How could such a family compare to a palace that selects geniuses from such a large human base?

In short, it was right for Lu Wujiu to provide subsidies when the sect was not yet strong, but providing subsidies now would only delay his progress in cultivation.

Thinking of this, Lu Wujiu said, "Economic income is closely related to the path of Lao Lu's disciples. This matter requires the joint efforts of everyone! So, since we have nothing else to do today, let's gather everyone together to discuss it."

Let’s talk, he simply returned to the Lao Lu Temple and rang the bell for the meeting.

Not long after, figures flashed through Lao Lu Mountain, and soon the top leaders of Lao Lu Temple and Liang Yi Sect gathered together.

This was the first time that Lu Wujiu summoned the top leaders of both factions.

There are not many people, just a few, but the configuration is extremely high.

At a glance, Liu Qingtan, Lao Lushanshen, Wang Ying, Jiang Wenyu, and Yan Qi, one is in the top three, two are in the second place, and although they are not as good as the famous and prestigious schools, they are firmly in the second echelon.

"I have called you all here today to discuss the future development of Lao Lu Palace. Now that Lao Lu Mountain is becoming more and more prosperous, the daily consumption is very heavy. It has always relied on soul water, which is ultimately too thin. Do you have any good ideas? Speak freely today." Lu Wujiu went straight to the point and set the tone for this meeting.

After hearing this, everyone immediately looked at each other.

When many people heard the assembly bell, they thought it was a big event, especially when the Fangzhong faction was watching them with eager eyes.

Unexpectedly, when Lu Wujiu gathered everyone together, he did not discuss how to avoid risks, but instead thought about ways to develop. This surprised everyone and also dispelled the anxious atmosphere.

Since Lu Wujiu is still interested in development, it seems that the threat posed by the Fangzhong faction is not as serious as everyone imagines.

Come to think of it, Lu Wujiu's reputation is on the rise. If he attacks Lao Lushan at this time, he will be infamous for eternity!
With their minds settled, everyone's minds gradually became active.

Liu Qingtan said, "Sir, although there are many Daoist children among my disciples in Lao Lu Temple, it is not difficult to draw basic talismans. Selling talismans can be a source of income."

Lu Wujiu nodded.

Wang Ying said, "Master, I am trying to use corpse puppets to cultivate wasteland, but the profit cycle of this method is too long, and it is unlikely to see results in the short term."

Lu Wujiu said, "This is a long-term plan. Don't give up just because it's not profitable in the short term."

Wang Ying nodded and said, "I have been personally appointed by the Sect Leader. Within three years, I will reclaim ten thousand hectares of fertile farmland in Laolu Mountain."

Seeing this, Jiang Wenyu stood up and said, "I have a few low-profit projects that may be able to meet the needs of the nursing home."

"Oh, tell me carefully."

"There are three great hardships in the world: ironwork, rowing boats, and grinding tofu. And the greatest helper of our Liangyi Sect is corpse puppets. So, why not use corpse puppets to replace these labors of ironwork and grinding?"

Lu Wujiu nodded: "That's right, collecting the coarse grains from all over the world and grinding them into fine flour, although the profit is small, it is not a bad way to go."

Jiang Wenyu, who received Lu Wujiu's affirmation, sat down with a smile on his face.

With the idea of ​​"grinding", many people's minds were opened up.

For example, paving roads and building bridges, digging ditches and reclaiming wasteland... These hard labors are perfect for corpse puppets, and the disciples can also take the opportunity to accumulate the rituals for ascending the ladder, killing two birds with one stone.

Of course, we still have to slowly explore whether it is feasible.

As the atmosphere became increasingly tense, the Goddess of Childbirth, Yan Qi, spoke up, "Master, the Goddess of Childbirth Palace that I once ran was quite profitable. Would you like to rebuild the Goddess of Childbirth Temple on Laolu Mountain?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the buzzing discussion suddenly quieted down.

It’s not so much that everyone is interested in the topic as it is that they are showing respect for the top three experts.

Yan Qi said that he was punished to face the wall for ten years. His current status in the Liangyi Sect is not as good as Jiang Wenyu, but who dares to underestimate him?
This lady has been the second-in-command of the old law department for at most ten years.

"Using the shadows to deliver a child may have more advantages than disadvantages, but it ultimately violates public order and good morals..."

As soon as Lu Wujiu opened his mouth, Yan Qi, whose face was full of anticipation, suddenly became gloomy.

She also knew that the method of secretly transferring the fetus had hidden drawbacks.

"But..." Lu Wujiu suddenly changed the subject: "Since there is a moral dilemma, why not give the choice to the people?"

"What does the Master mean?"

"Fellow Daoist, since you have the ability to send children and change miscarriages, why not combine the two? Announce to the public that all children sent are changed miscarriages. Anyone who wishes to have a child must receive the miscarriage-changing flower before they can have one."

Yan Qi's eyes lit up. Yes, why didn't she think of it!

In this way, the issue of public order and good morals is easily solved.

Although once it is announced, it may affect the incense offerings at the Palace of the Goddess of Childbirth, it is better than bearing the consequences.

Lu Wujiu glanced at the silent Old Lushan God, thought for a moment and said, "Old Lushan God, are you willing to be the guardian deity of the Goddess of Childbirth?"

Old Lushan God was startled, then suddenly realized what was happening. He quickly stood up and bowed, "Master, it is my honor to be able to protect the Goddess of Childbirth. How could I be unwilling to do so?"

Lu Wujiu nodded in satisfaction and said, "Very good! This way, you can also share some of the incense. Now that the Yunsong Mountains are ownerless, you must not lose the opportunity."

Old Lushan God was surprised and said, "Master, are you saying that the Black Dragon King is dead?"
