The Smiling Proud Wind and Cloud Chapter 26, Five Mountains Strategy

    However, ordinary iron cannot be used to make weapons.  Experienced blacksmiths are required to polish and temper hundreds of times, and the cost will naturally go up.

    Even if it is an ordinary outer disciple's sword, it can't be done without thirty or fifty taels of silver.  This is still handcrafted by the unified organization of the door, and it will only be more expensive to buy it yourself.

    The elders have even higher requirements for matching swords. Ordinary iron swords cannot withstand the infusion of their internal strength, and usually have to be added with meteorite extracted from meteorites, or cold iron produced in the extreme north.

    Considering the high loss of weapons and the reusability that can be remade, the amortized expenditure of one year is more than one hundred thousand taels of silver.

    Compensation for casualties, it depends on luck.  If a war between good and evil breaks out, it is possible to spend hundreds of thousands of taels at a time.  In normal times, it costs tens of thousands of taels a year.

    It's not that I don't know, it's a surprise.  As far as Li Mu himself can confirm, the Huashan faction spends 1.8 million taels a year.

    The actual number will only be greater, after all, the industry and the site in the door also need maintenance costs.  This expenditure will definitely not be small.

    There are also some expenses that have not been calculated, such as: ceremonial exchanges in the world, mountain gate buildings, road maintenance, recruiting new disciples, ancestor worship activities, horses for daily travel, etc.

    Adding up the total expenses of zero and zero, the annual expenditure of the Huashan faction is absolutely frighteningly high. Apart from lamenting "poor culture and rich martial arts", Li Mu also understands why the school is in a hurry to expand.

    It's really not that the Huashan faction doesn't know how to manage the territory, it's really too expensive to practice martial arts.  Being able to achieve a balance of income and expenditure is enough to prove Ning Qingyu's management ability.

    In a sense, finance is the fundamental factor that restricts the development and growth of a martial arts sect.  The struggle between the major forces in the arena is also inseparable from it.

    Looking at it from another angle, in fact, the cost of Huashan faction is not too big.  Calculated based on the total expenditure of 1 million taels, divided by the number of Huashan faction of 2000+, the average per capita is only about 500 taels a year.

    The cost of cultivating disciples is similar among the major sects. Relatively speaking, the southern sect may be slightly lower, because food, cloth and other materials are cheaper.

    It's just that these Huashan sects are not envious. Guanzhong's fatigue is not only caused by over-development, but mainly caused by climate change.  Since the diversion of the Han River, agriculture in Guanzhong began to decline.

    The Huashan School naturally couldn't solve the problems that the past dynasties could not solve.

    There are no dragons in shallow water, and the exhausted Guanzhong land cannot support a master of martial arts.  It is already a miracle that the Huashan faction can operate to this point.  If you want to go further, you must go out

    Following the Huashan faction's large-scale exit, Luoyang, the ancient capital of "the essentials of heaven and earth, the throat of Kyushu", suddenly became noisy.

    "Control Hulao Pass in the east, Hangu Pass in the west, Youyan Pass in the north, and Yique Pass in the south."

    A battleground for military strategists is also a battleground for major forces in the world.  Especially for the Five Sacred Sword Sect, it has unparalleled strategic value.

    After taking Luoyang Wulin, the Huashan faction is the dragon ascending to heaven.

    To the east, it can support Songshan, to the south, it can echo with the Hengshan faction, and to the north, it can go straight to the east of the river and connect with the Hengshan faction's sphere of influence.

    Once the plan is completed, the sphere of influence of the Five Sacred Sword Sect will become one, and the entire chess game will come to life.

    The Huashan faction has gained new sources of income and has the foundation to stand up against Shaolin and Wudang; the Taishan faction and Hengshan faction will have the confidence to contend with the Demon Cult; the Songshan and Hengshan factions can use the power of the alliance to get rid of the oppression of Shaolin and Wudang.

    It is precisely because they have common interests that the ancestors of the five factions formed an alliance.  As for fighting against the Devil's Cult, that's just a high-sounding slogan.

    It's a pity that they forgot about this arena, and slogans cannot be shouted indiscriminately.  With the help of various forces in the martial arts, the Wuyue Sword Sect, which was just shouting slogans, suddenly became a real vanguard against demons.

    From the beginning of the "slogan" battle of spirits, more and more blood was shed on both sides, and the hatred became deeper and deeper, and finally became the current endless death.

    If the plot doesn't change, this will be the last time that the Wuyue Sword Sect will implement its own grand strategic plan, and it will be completely misled after that.

    In a manor outside Luoyang City, Ning Qingyu, the leader of the Five Sacred Mountains Alliance, was looking at a pile of letters asking for help, worrying.  The plan was perfect, but unfortunately it went sour as soon as it was implemented.

    Except for the Huashan faction, the other four factions were all "attacked by the devil's religion" on the way.  I really don't know where the Devil's Cult got its supernatural powers to launch attacks all over the world at the same time.

    ?That's all for the Shanshan faction and the Hengshan faction. They are too close to the Demon Sect's sphere of influence, and it is reasonable to encounter the Demon Sect's blocking of their actions.

    The Hengshan faction is so far away from the Devil's Cult, and this operation was launched secretly. Even if it was exposed at the beginning of the operation, it is impossible for the Devil's Sect to rush there so quickly.

    The attack on the Songshan faction was even more nonsense. The brigade encountered the "Demon Sect" halfway up the mountain, which was an insult to Ning Qingyu's IQ.

    What can be confirmed at present is: the Hengshan faction really met the devil, but it was the bandits from the Thirteenth Village of Taihang who fought with him, and there seemed to be Qingliang Temple in Mount Wutai.

    The "Demon Sect" monsters who attacked the Taishan School were pretended by the local martial arts forces, and Yuxuzi, the head of Taishan School, had decided to teach them a lesson.

    As for the people who attacked the Hengshan faction and the Songshan faction, they didn't mention it in the appeal letters of the two factions. I don't know if they didn't recognize them, or they didn't dare to say it.

    Anyway, the result is the same, the four factions of reinforcements can't come now.  Whether or not to fight the next Luoyang battle depends on the Huashan faction.

    After pondering for a long time, Ning Qingyu said indifferently: "The plan remains unchanged, and the four factions are restrained. We also expected it before, but we didn't expect them to be so shameless."

    The old man in Tsing Yi approached and persuaded: "But the head, the Luoyang martial arts forces will not enter, they are local snakes, and there are a bunch of people from the rivers and lakes to help us. I am afraid that we will not be able to take them down for a while.

    Another message came from the Hengshan faction that the ten elders of the Devil's Cult are leading a large group of people into Shangdang, and they are almost certainly targeting us.

    Now that the best of the best are out, once they discover the truth, the consequences may be disastrous.

    Why don't we first"

    Ning Qingyu shook his head, and said with an extremely firm attitude: "This time, my Huashan faction has no choice. The slogan of 'Fist out of Shaolin, sword back to Huashan' has been shouted out, and now we can't hold back.

    This time we left the customs, there are still many martial arts forces who are neutral, which is to intimidate the prestige of my Huashan faction.  If we stop now, these enemies will not be the only ones next time.  ?
