The Fourth Financial Crisis

Desperate, Head Xia and other heads of the Separatist sect in a similar situation will definitely not choose to sit still and wait for death.

When they were frantically overdrafting their own sect's finances, these people had actually already found a last resort for themselves, which was to let the Infinite Sword Sect take care of the whole situation for them.

As the supreme ruler of Zhongzhou, if Lin Jianxing just sits and watches their misfortune, it is equivalent to sitting and watching his own demise!

Just like the monks from these vassal sects collectively tried to force their leader to marry him, the heads of these vassal sects also secretly united together and took advantage of the opportunity to report on their duties to collectively issue an ultimatum to Lin Jianxing, saying that if Master Lin doesn't think of a solution for us, , although there is a high probability that we will go crazy on the spot, but you Lin Jianxing will not be much better, and you will die with us when the time comes!

Faced with the showdown of the major vassal sects, Lin Jianxing was forced to a dead end, so he allowed Liu Hanxing to declare war with the Haiya Sect, and even staged a farce of besieging the Lingshi Reserve Bank.

After the failure of these two plots, Lin Jianxing had no way to solve the imminent financial problem unless he publicly killed Yuntianhua and Mo Yunlan. However, he wanted Lin Jianxing to admit defeat to Mo Yunlan and Yuntianhua. It was impossible, so Lin Jianxing came up with a way to print counterfeit banknotes to temporarily tide over the difficulties for his vassal sect.

It's a pity that the counterfeit banknotes were accidentally exposed within half a year, which directly triggered the fourth Lingshi financial crisis.

Now Lin Jianxing called the senior officials of Wuliang Sword Sect for a meeting just to force Mo Yunlan and Yuntianhua to relent. Of course Mo Yunlan and Yuntianhua knew what Lin Jianxing wanted to do, and they always acted like they were not interested in the matter. .

Just kidding, how do you want us to carry such a big pot?

Can we afford this big pot?

If we can take such a big blame, will it be your turn, Lin Jianxing, to become the head of the Wuliang Sword Sect?

Seeing the two of them pretending to be deaf and dumb, Lin Jianxing became angry: "If the Wuliang Sword Sect is completely destroyed, do you think you can achieve a good result? Absolutely impossible! Just like you, Mo Yunlan, if the world of Zhongzhou In such chaos, even if you are just an elder of the Infinite Sword Sect, you will still have two or three golden wheels of merit cut off! By then, will you still have a chance to achieve the immortal realm?"

When Lin Jianxing finished speaking, the corner of Mo Yunlan's mouth couldn't help but twitch.

Because Lin Jianxing really hit the point this time.

As the most powerful Nascent Soul cultivator of the Wuliang Sword Sect, Mo Yunlan certainly has the ambition to reach the Immortal Realm. However, if he wants to achieve the Immortal Realm, he must first cultivate to the Nascent Soul Great Perfection Realm. The realm of Yuanying Dzogchen requires either the holy spiritual root or the five golden wheels of merit.

Mo Yunlan has the best water spirit root qualification.

Based on his spiritual root qualifications, if the Golden Wheel of Merit is less than four paths, it is not even theoretically possible for him to cultivate to the Dzogchen realm of Nascent Soul, even if his remaining lifespan is used for retreat.

However, when he competed with Lin Jianxing for the leadership of the Wuliang Sword Sect, Mo Yunlan was already vaguely aware of the existence of the fourth Lingshi Financial Crisis. Although he knew that he would definitely be more qualified than Lin Jianxing as the leader of the Wuliang Sword Sect, At least in terms of the skills of the paper craftsman, he will definitely be able to paper for longer than Lin Jianxing.

But Mo Yunlan was not sure whether he could keep the situation a secret until the day when he reached the perfection of Nascent Soul.

So at the last moment, Mo Yunlan gave up.

He chose to voluntarily give up the responsibility of being the leader of the Wuliang Sword Sect to Lin Jianxing, allowing Lin Jianxing to bear the main responsibility for the chaos in the world, which also objectively accelerated the outbreak of this crisis.

But just like Lin Jianxing said, even if he is just the Supreme Elder, there is no way he can survive the crisis alone. If Lin Jianxing dies, Mo Yunlan will not be in trouble either!

Facing Lin Jianxing's soul torture, Mo Yunlan said coldly: "Headmaster Lin, do you think it is useful to say this now? If you had asked for our opinions on everything a few years ago, things would not have developed to this point. , now even if you invite me to be the leader of the Infinite Sword Sect again, I’m afraid there’s nothing I can do!”

In Mo Yunlan's view, Lin Jianxing's best choice back then was to become a puppet master. He only needed to enjoy the merits of being the master of the Infinite Sword Sect and then leave everything to a few supreme elders of the World Sect. , there is no need to get involved in the specific sect management work.

This will at least give you a few more years of papering!

I think that before Ma Tianyi ascended to the throne, he had been a hands-off shopkeeper for three hundred years, and taught all the management of the sect to the two Supreme Elders Li Rui and Luo Shen, while Dongfang, the head of the Wuliang Sword Sect a generation earlier, Jiu was even more obsessed with mathematics and couldn't extricate himself. For five hundred years in a row, he gave full power to the Wuliang Sword Sect to his junior brother Ma Tianyi to manage it on his behalf. During this time when the leader was absent, there was no trouble in the Wuliang Sword Sect.

Just as Luo Shen, the master of sect management, said in "School Management - My Theory and Practice in Wuliang Sword Sect", if a cultivation sect has been reduced to the point where it needs to rely on a wise and powerful top manager to do everything personally, To the point where they can barely maintain the situation, then this cultivation sect is probably not far from destruction.

A truly excellent sect management system is often one in which there is no problem even if you choose a pig to be the leader.

Therefore, Mo Yunlan took the initiative to withdraw from the election for the leadership, hoping that Lin Jianxing could follow the old practice of Ma Tianyi and Dongfang Jiu, let professional people do professional things, and just be the mascot with the strongest combat power.

However, Mo Yunlan seriously underestimated Lin Jianxing's ambition.

Lin Jianxing is not at all like Yuntianhua's character who lets others manipulate him. On the contrary, Lin Jianxing also has the ambition to reach the immortal realm, and as the mascot that Mo Yunlan puts on the table, he cannot achieve the immortal realm no matter what!

It would be fine if Lin Jianxing had no chance to be the head of the Wuliang Sword Sect, but since Mo Yunlan gave him the head position, there was no way he would seek the opinions of Mo Yunlan and Cheng Shuying on everything!

Seeing that Mo Yunlan was throwing the blame back on himself, Lin Jianxing slammed the table and said: "That's nonsense! If the Wuliang Sword Sect was completely decided by me alone, things would be simpler! If it weren't for the fact that there are always some people in this sect I have no responsibility, and whenever I want to implement any reforms, I jump out and hold back. How can it be so difficult for me to do something?"

Mo Yunlan said expressionlessly: "Okay, since we have all come to the meeting, I would like to ask how Master Lin plans to solve the problem?"

Cheng Shuying directly followed up and mocked: "You don't expect the reform of Zhongzhou's social security system, do you? That kind of reform on paper can't even pass the test cities, let alone be promoted to the entire Zhongzhou!"

Lin Jianxing was just about to talk about the reform of Zhongzhou's social security system when he was choked back by Cheng Shuying.

After being speechless for a long time, Lin Jianxing knocked on the table hard, took a deep breath and said: "As long as you are willing to cooperate with me, there are many ways! Our biggest problem now is that the sect has no money, so as long as the cultivators above the Zhongzhou Foundation Establishment Stage , everyone pays a 'special crisis response tax' to the Wuliang Sword Sect to enrich the sect's finances, and there will be no problem that cannot be solved!"

Good guy, you really need to be a monk at the foundation-building stage or above!

Hearing this, Mo Yunlan and Cheng Shuying didn't need to refute. The senior officials of the Wuliang Sword Sect who were eating melons at the scene started talking about it:

“So how much does this special tax cost?”

"That's right! The gap between the rich and the poor among cultivators above the Foundation Establishment stage in Zhongzhou is wider than the gap between humans and dogs, so how much does each person have to pay? We can't all pay the same amount!"

"There is also a problem with taxing in proportion to wealth. After all, how do you count how much money each cultivator has? If they hide the money in a cave in the suburbs, we can't count it? And what if these people choose to spend money unexpectedly to resist the tax? , so what?”

"This is still a situation where everyone is willing to pay taxes. The problem is that everyone has worked hard to accumulate training resources. Who is willing to pay additional taxes to the Infinite Sword Sect?"

Lin Jianxing proposed this method without actually thinking about it. He was simply pushed into a corner by Mo Yunlan and Cheng Shuying. Now that people were talking about these operational issues, he also realized that this method was very inappropriate.

After rubbing his temples, Lin Jianxing raised his hand and interrupted: "Okay! This method is indeed not very practical, so we won't discuss it for now. But we don't have other methods. For example, the Lingshi Reserve Bank only needs to issue updates. Duolingshi coins, or directly recognizing the legitimacy of those so-called counterfeit banknotes circulating in the market, all problems will be solved!"

This time, Mo Yunlan immediately sneered and said: "Solve it easily? Leader Lin has a beautiful idea!"

"Elder Mo, just say what you want, why be so weird!"

Mo Yunlan shook his sleeves and robe, stood up and said loudly: "The problems encountered by the Kyushu cultivation world are not limited to Zhongzhou alone. Are there no problems in other continents? I heard that there are already many chambers of commerce in Borneo that have serious problems, but Xiao Nan, the Supreme Elder of the Yufeng Sect, is very good at business management. He asked the Chamber of Commerce affiliated to the Yufeng Sect to forcibly take over many bankrupt chambers of commerce, and this is how he managed the situation to this day. The situation in West Jizhou is not much better, but the Shenxiao Sect has already In the process of planning to list the Formation Research Institute founded by the legendary monk Ye Lun as a whole, so as to obtain a large amount of financing to solve the imminent debt problem, as for the Northern Mo State——"

However, before Mo Yunlan finished speaking, Lin Jianxing couldn't bear it anymore.

In his opinion, Mo Yunlan's description of how other major overlord-level sects showed their magical powers to save themselves was mocking himself, the head of the Wuliang Sword Sect, who would only use the lowest means of printing counterfeit money to solve problems.

So he immediately interrupted: "That's enough! I don't want to hear how the other six sects solve their problems now. I just want to know now. Is it so difficult to let the Lingshi Reserve Bank take over?"

Yuntianhua coughed twice and interjected: "Master Lin, what Elder Mo means is that the Lingshi Reserve Bank is not the Lingshi Reserve Bank of the Wuliang Sword Sect, but the Lingshi Reserve Bank of the Jiuzhou Cultivation World, using currency Solving the problem in Zhongzhou will undoubtedly completely bankrupt Lingshi Reserve Bank's overseas credit..."

Lin Jianxing sneered: "Yuntianhua, you are a monk of our Wuliang Sword Sect!"

Yuntianhua was about to continue saying something, but he felt Lin Jianxing's powerful spiritual consciousness pressing towards him. After being locked by the Yuanying monk's spiritual consciousness, Yuntianhua, who was in the late stage of Jindan, was stunned and could not open his mouth again.

In the end, Mo Yunlan ignored Lin Jianxing's pressure and continued: "As far as I know, Tian Daxiao is already planning to build a second Lingshi Reserve Bank. Although the current Lingshi Reserve Bank has the endorsement of three ascended immortals, its credit is inherent It is better than Tian Daxiao’s improvised Caotai team, but if the other six sects discover that we have lost our neutrality, they will still grab Tian Daxiao’s life-saving straw. At that time, no matter how many spirit stone coins the Lingshi Reserve Bank prints, It’s all waste paper!”

Cheng Shuying, who was silent at first, also answered: "Master Lin, after the counterfeit banknote incident was spread, I heard that other sects have begun to secretly contact Huoyunzhou. If it were not for the establishment of a second spiritual stone reserve out of thin air, The bank is taking too many risks, and we haven’t made a final decision yet, so they may have turned against you long ago!”

Seeing the worldly monks bombarding him one after another, Lin Jianxing also turned his attention to his ally Qiu Longbo.

However, Qiu Longbo is also a serious monk of the sect. Apart from arresting mortals, he knows very little about the knowledge of sect management. Even if he wants to support Lin Jianxing, he doesn't know where to start.

Seeing that Qiu Longbo couldn't hold it in for a long time, Lin Jianxing had no choice but to take a deep breath and said in person: "If the Lingshi Reserve Bank provides cover to all the other six sects, is this feasible?"

Mo Yunlan shook his head again and said: "Just by filling the hole in Zhongzhou, the credit of Lingshi Coin has already been a big problem! Now the stock price of Lingshi Mine has exceeded 20,000 yuan of Lingshi Coin, and a large number of Lingshi Coins are held The cultivators have suffered heavy losses and have surrounded our Infinite Sword Sect. Now, not only can we not expand the supply of Lingshi coins, but we must recover liquidity from the market. If we want to both recover liquidity and expand the supply of Lingshi coins ,unless……"

"Unless what?"

"Unless we issue another 20% of Lingshi mine stocks to the public and significantly increase the supply of Lingshi mine equity, we can rebalance the already precarious purchasing power of Lingshi coins!"

As soon as these words came out, the meeting place exploded.

"It's just nonsense!"

"Without the control of the spirit stone veins, would the Wuliang Sword Sect still be the original Wuliang Sword Sect?"

"The last time we offered 0.5% of our equity, we were already ashamed of all the ancestors of the Infinite Sword Sect. Now we are actually going to offer 20% in one go. I will never agree!"

Lin Jianxing even categorically vetoed: "The equity in the Lingshi vein is the core asset of the Wuliang Sword Sect. Giving out 20% of the credit to support the Lingshi coins is already the limit. It is impossible to give out another 20%, even 1%. Impossible!"

Qiu Longbo, who was silent at first, also stood up and said: "If you act like this, the Wuliang Sword Sect might as well disband!"
