From the moment a person learned to read, the words they came into contact with would undoubtedly have a huge impact on their life. At the very least, literacy materials could play a huge role in establishing their three views.
Yue Buqun would not completely change the current enlightenment materials, but it did not prevent him from stuffing his own goods into them.
"The school will organize staff to write teaching materials that are beneficial to Huashan. After the compilation, we will all review them and only start teaching after they pass.”
" There's no need to rush. Find a few writers and slowly compile them. It'll be fine as long as they're basically done within a year, but they must be written in a realistic and interesting way. There's no need to be too particular about the style of writing. Just use the vernacular so that it's easy to understand.”
"The Jianghu News Department is responsible for collecting information about some scholars with good writing skills, accounts masters who are proficient in arithmetic, and Taoists who are proficient in Taoism. Then, Chu Yunfei from the Foreign Affairs Department is responsible for inviting them. However, you must carefully select them. Don't let some pedantic and old-fashioned bookworms enter.”
Yue Buqun exhorted. Lu Feipeng and Chu Yunfei quickly agreed. There was no other way. The sect leader opened his mouth and the disciples ran their legs.
Yue Buqun spoke for a long time, seeing that everyone was only listening carefully and no longer spoke, he then asked with a cup of tea: "Is there anything else?"
Everyone hurriedly shook their heads. If they continued talking, they didn't know what strange things the sect leader would arrange for them. It was better to leave quickly. Each and every one of them said that they had some matters to attend to and left one after another.
Taihua Hall only left Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze, Yue Buqun gave his wife a cup of tea, asked Ning Zhongze is responsible for the financial department Huashan silver income and expenditure situation.
Ning Zhongze couldn't help but smile when he talked about Huashan's income and expenditure.
"Currently, the monthly allowance and the allowance for going out require around six thousand taels of silver. Food and meat can be taken care of, but spices, oil and other food costs about 1,000 taels per month. Clothes, shoes, socks, etc., the annual expenditure is nearly 2,000 taels; 10,000 taels of silver were spent on the repair and expansion of the houses in the mountains.”
"This year, according to your orders, I spent 2,000 taels of silver on the purchase of bow and arrow materials to strengthen the defense. Forging the swords for the disciples cost more than ten thousand taels of silver; 10,800 taels for medicinal herbs, 3,600 taels for all kinds of human relations, and 10,000 taels for all kinds of human relations. The cost of the season is 2,000 taels, and the cost of other needlework is about 400 taels, totaling more than 50,000 taels a year.”
Yue Buqun clicked his tongue and sighed, really poor in literature but rich in martial arts!
Currently, there were less than a thousand inner sect disciples on Mount Hua. They were the ones who consumed the most precious medicinal herbs. Most of the outer sect disciples only needed to eat more meat. However, there were more than five thousand people in total. They were quite self-sufficient because they were close to Mount Hua. However, the average annual cost of one person was more than fifty thousand taels.
"In terms of income, there are forty-nine shops on the surface, and the estimated annual income is forty-five thousand taels. Fifty-six trading companies earned 10,000 taels of silver from dry shares. 25,000 mu of land, estimated income of 6,300 taels; Each sect and merchant received six thousand taels of gold.
A total of 67,300 taels, minus the expenses, the surplus was 28,300 taels.
The caravan that was secretly formed sold the distilled liquor and soap that Senior Brother invented. Every year, they earned more than 300,000 taels of silver. Half of them were exchanged for food, ginseng, and other medicinal herbs according to Senior Brother's instructions."
This year, Ning Zhongze had mostly let a few of his subordinates take charge of the Tripitaka Block's affairs. His own energy was mainly focused on the finance department. He remembered the income and expenditure figures very clearly and reported them to Yue Buqun one by one.
Yue Buqun had long expected Huashan to make a profit, but when he heard that it was a lot, he was also happy. Huashan was considered a big business. He took Ning Zhongze's hand and said with a smile,
"This year's financial data is clear and organized. You're getting better and better.”
Even though they had been married for two years, Ning Zhongze still felt a little shy about his husband's intimate actions. He blushed and said,
"I've asked Li Xingyi, who I bought back a few years ago, to help manage the Huashan Sect's finances. Her family used to be a business venture, so she's quite financially savvy.
If it wasn't for the fact that her family had been harmed by a traitor and she was forced into the underworld, our Huashan Mountain wouldn't have had the chance to take in this originally rich young miss. Now, I just have to look at the income and expenditure statements every month. These are all calculated in advance when she knows that you're coming back. I just have to memorize them. It won't take much effort.”
Yue Buqun knew that his wife, Ning Zhongze, only picked up the nicest words. For a large organization like Huashan Sect, the annual flow of water was more than five hundred thousand taels, which had already exceeded most of the counties in Ming Dynasty. With Ning Zhongze's character, how could he not carefully control it? He just didn't say it out loud, so that he wouldn't worry.
"Yes, my good wife. You've worked hard. It's good to have you.”
Yue Buqun turned behind Ning Zhongze and gently embraced him, his chin rubbing his Junior Sister's head.
"It's not hard. Husband, it's dangerous and hard for you to run around outside.”
"Your husband is amazing! It's not dangerous."
Yue Buqun deliberately waved his arms forcefully, hitting the air until it made a popping sound.
Ning Zhongze squinted and smiled. He buried his head in Yue Buqun's chest and gently hugged Yue Buqun's arm. A masculine aura filled his mind and he couldn't help but feel intoxicated. He hugged Yue Buqun and refused to move.
The two of them whispered for a while more and then turned the topic back to money.
Yue Buqun muttered: "It seems that the biggest expenditure is on the disciple's monthly salary, I have to think of a way to get some of this silver back."”
Ning Zhongze heard this and quickly stopped him." Husband, you can't deduct the disciples 'monthly allowance. This will damage your sect master's prestige."”
Yue Buqun looked at her and smiled: "Is your husband so brainless?”
"Then what do you mean by getting the silver back?" Ning Zhongze was puzzled.
"Of course, we want the disciples to be willing to send it back!”
"Think about it, the income of us Huashan disciples is considered relatively high in Great Ming. They also have to spend money to support their families, to receive friends, and so on. Which one of them doesn't spend money? If we don't earn these, it'll just benefit the merchants of Hua Yin.”
"For example, eating and drinking. Although there is no need to worry about food and clothing on the mountain, there are rules and quotas. Greeting family members, gathering friends, giving birth to children and increasing longevity are all private matters. They can't be counted as the sect's food, but they are necessary.”
"There are still many empty rooms on the mountain. Set up a few rooms and open a restaurant. We can buy some good wine from all over the country and hire a few good chefs. We don't have to pay taxes or rent.”
Ning Zhongze's eyes lit up and he said happily," That's right. Now the disciples 'money bags are very rich. If the food and wine are good, of course they are willing to spend here. They don't have to go far and can save money. It's convenient and affordable."”
"Yes, there are also cloth, clothes, rouge, specialties of the north and south, jewelry, and so on. We can get them all together. Anyway, we don't need too many things. We can bring them back by the disciples sent out on the way. There's basically no loss in transportation costs. As long as the things are chosen well, are we afraid that the disciples won't be willing to spend money?”
"There are more than 300 daughters of rich young masters from Shaanxi Province on the mountain. In addition to the relatives of the disciples at the foot of Mount Hua, they are our natural customers. They hold tens of thousands of taels of silver every year.”
Ning Zhongze's eyes were shining as he stared at Yue Buqun," Husband, your calculations are too accurate. It's hard for our logistics department not to make a fortune. In this way, no one will say that the logistics department only knows how to spend money and not make money."”
"Yes, we have to do it well. Find some pretty girls to be waiters and waitresses. We have to improve our service attitude. "Then plant some more fruit trees on Hua Mountain, so that the disciples can be self-sufficient in their spare time," Yue Buqun smiled slyly.
"I don't mind planting fruit trees, but wouldn't it be bad to find a pretty girl to be a waiter?”Ning Zhongze rolled his eyes at Yue Buqun.
" Well, little girl…" Yue Buqun suddenly stopped and fell into deep thought. Ning Zhongze saw it and was anxious. He reached out and grabbed Yue Buqun's tender waist.
"Aiyo!"
Yue Buqun felt a sharp pain in his waist. He turned to glare at Ning Zhongze and said angrily: "Why did you pinch me?"
"Who told you to nag about the little girl!"
Seeing this, Yue Buqun kissed Ning Zhongze and smiled:
"What are you thinking about? I suddenly remembered that it's not enough to just reward the disciples of our Huashan Sect. In addition to the annual competition, every class will organize a monthly test in the future. The disciples who do poorly will be punished to do voluntary labor in the shop on the mountain. They will even save their wages, hehe!”
"Husband, it's a pity that you don't become a profiteer!”
