According to the usual practice, for a famous sect like Huashan, it is necessary to invite comrades from all walks of life to watch the ceremony for the change of head.
However, there are exceptions to everything. At a time like now, when a lot of martial arts masters and sect masters have died, they can act expediently.
Everyone is changing power, if people are still invited to watch the ceremony as usual, no one will be able to leave!
Huanjianghu pays attention to face. If you invite a large group of people, but in the end they are too polite, or you send a few small characters to deal with it, then you will be ashamed of yourself.
It's not bad to be able to do it yourself behind closed doors, at least there is a ceremony. Like the previous Taishan School and Hengshan School's change of head, even the ceremony can only be done later.
If there were no accidents, this wave of Shaolin abbot replacements was also completed quietly.
After all the dust settles, just tell Wulin directly. All kinds of links in the middle of the process are saved if possible.
If you want to be huge, it only exists during the Taiping Festival. There was no major event happening in Jianghu, and everyone was idle, so they took the opportunity to run over to join in the fun, which was considered a low-level martial arts conference.
"Simplicity" is a relative term. After the full set of etiquette, Li Mu is almost on the ground, feeling more tired than fighting with others.
It's no wonder that the head of the Huashan School must be a master of martial arts. Such a complicated procedure cannot be supported without good martial arts.
? Ascended to the throne of the head, before he had time to catch his breath, Li Mu was overwhelmed by the ledger in front of him.
Without any accidents, the war that lasted for more than a year brought a serious deficit to the Huashan faction.
Originally, he planned to rely on loot to make up for it, but unfortunately, someone picked the peaches at the critical moment. There are a lot of haunted houses in his hands, which can't be changed in a short time.
The benefits of the new site are long-term. Affected by the war, merchants have also suffered heavy losses in the past year or so, and trade in many places was even interrupted for a time.
If business is not booming, the protection fee will naturally not go up. The reason why the various factions in the Northwest Wulin are poor is that the core issue is the underdevelopment of commerce and economy.
Rubbing his forehead, Li Mu asked Elder Wang who was in charge of the accounts: "Uncle Wang, how did you deal with this kind of deficit in the past?"
As an old deficit sect, Li Mu believes that the Huashan sect must have a contingency plan. Even if the east wall is torn down to make up for the west wall, one must first know which wall can be demolished.
Elder Ganshou Wang replied calmly: "According to the usual practice, when encountering such a situation, we usually borrow a sum of money from the outside world for emergency. Then we cut expenses and slowly fill in the shortfall.
After every battle between good and evil, there will always be such a wave. This time it was not bad, the casualties were not large and a lot of pensions were saved.
? Judging from the current deficit, it only takes five or six years to fill the gap.
If the new site can be put into operation, this time can be further shortened. But during this period, nothing else can be done in the door. "
Hearing the word "borrowing", Li Mu was a little skeptical about life. I was trapped by various loans in my previous life, but I never thought that I would still be unable to escape the loans now.
I just don't know who has the guts to lend money to the martial arts sect. In case of bad debts, it is not easy to collect debts in the face of a gang of violent elements.
Li Mu asked suspiciously: "Uncle Wang, who do we borrow money from, and what is the interest?"
Elder Wang said with a slight smile: "There is not too much deficit in the door this time, and I have calculated that there are about five or six hundred thousand taels of emergency, which can be turned around.
In the Ming Dynasty, there were quite a few people who were able to provide this fund. The main ones who cooperated with us in this regard were: Qinwangfu, Shuwangfu, Jinshang Bank, Shaolin Temple, Huayan Temple, Famen Temple, Daxingshan Temple, etc.
Generally speaking, local temples in Guanzhong, such as Huayan Temple, Famen Temple, and Daxingshan Temple, have to sell us some face. The monthly interest is usually one cent to one five cents, while others need a little more than two cents.
Now that the influence of the door has extended to Shanxi, Shanxi merchants must give us some face, and the interest rate will also drop.
The amount of deficit this time is not too large. I borrowed a sum from several local temples, and then borrowed a little from Shanxi merchants. It is estimated that it will be almost the same. I should be able to save 70,000 to 80,000 taels of interest expenses every year. "
It can be seen that Elder Wang is very satisfied with the current results. Being able to save 70,000 to 80,000 taels of interest every year is also a big help for the Huashan School.
There is no problem with interest. In this age of nine and thirteen returns, it is very conscientious to be able to borrow money with such interest.
It's just that the result is still big.?Everyone will be happy to buy a better one.
After all, this is the great power that belongs to oneself, and no one will deny that one's own strength is stronger, even if it is only a little bit stronger.
It is really impossible, the worst is selling war horses and smuggling salt. Based on Li Mu's understanding of Shanxi merchants, those guys are a group of mercenaries.
If there is no better choice, he is not willing to cooperate with those people. Just for the sake of money, Li Mu decided to endure it first.
After all, there is no clean capital these days. If you have moral cleanliness, then you don't have to do anything.
Anyway, it was the old Zhu's corner that was dug, and the clever little emperor in the Forbidden City had a headache.
After hesitating for a long time, Li Mu nodded and said: "Then let's do it this way! Now that the family is not rich, it can save a lot of money. ?
