"Yan Dazhenren, is there any news about Yujing?" Zhang Yuelu sat opposite Yan Dazhenren, with a book case between the two.

"There is no news for the time being." Yan Dazhenren hesitated for a moment, "If you insist on saying that there is any difference, it is that after the Earth Master left Yujing, the Grand Master ordered the strengthening of the Zixiao Palace's alert level, and even some of the Grand Master's personal troops were drawn."

Zhang Yuelu was a little disappointed and asked again: "What about the three movements?"

Yan Dazhenren looked at Zhang Yuelu: "Qingxiao, I have always valued you very much. Even if you slapped me in the face last time, I still have this attitude. Now it seems that my opinion is not wrong. You feel very sharp, and Sandao really has some movements."

Yan Dazhenren stopped talking, took out a file from the desk and handed it to Zhang Yuelu.

Xiao Yin stared at the "Female Sword Immortal" in his hand with two eyes, and his ears had already stood up.

Zhang Yuelu looked through the file in her hand, and Yan Dazhenren continued: "Since last year, the policy of the 'Shenxian Tax' has fluctuated. The temple and sacrificial hall did not have this authority or the courage. It must be the intention of the Heavenly Master."

The so-called "Shenxian Tax" certainly does not refer to the peaceful money or worry-free money, but generally refers to the incense and divine power collected by the Taoist sect. Just like taxes, some taxes will be left in the local vassal treasury, and the other part will be paid to the central treasury. The same is true for the "Shenxian Tax". Some divine power is left in the local treasury for use by the Taoist sect, and some will be paid to the "thirty-three days".

Zhang Yuelu quickly scanned the detailed accounts listed on the file.

"Since last year, the Tianshi has increased the proportion of paying the "Shenxian Tax", which is nominally supporting the war in the Western Regions. However, after the conflict between Dazun ended, the Tianshi did not mean to pull back." Yan Dazhenren said, "I don't know much about other Taoist governments. Take the Dongposa Continent Dao Prefecture for example. Compared with the previous year, the "Shenxian Tax" paid to the central government in the same year has increased by about 20% year-on-year. This number may not be too large. However, considering that the Dongposa Continent Dao Prefecture is a border Taoist government, the increase ratio of other Taoist governments will only be even more exaggerated, maybe 30%, or 40%.

Zhang Yuelu frowned: "What do the Heavenly Master need so much divine power? He is not a god."

Yan Dazhenren said meaningfully: "Did you forget the thirty-six Thunder Gods of the Zhang family? It takes a lot of divine power to drive the thirty-six Thunder Gods."

Zhang Yuelu was suspected of asking clearly: "Thirty-six Thunder Gods are the powerful weapon to destroy the ancient witch sect. What does the Heavenly Master want the Thirty-six Thunder Gods do?"

Yan Dazhenren said, "Maybe it was for the witch sect, who knows?"

Zhang Yuelu was silent.

Yan Dazhenren continued: "In addition to Zhengyidao, there is also Taipingdao."

Zhang Yuelu raised her head from the file and looked at Yan Dazhenren: "Zhengyidao is a temple sacrificial hall, is Taipingdao a Maribotang?"

Yan Dazhen leaned against the back of the chair, with his fingers squinted in his lower abdomen: "The Taoist temples that the three deputy leaders, Dazhen, personally mastered by Dazhen, are related to the lifeblood of the Taoist sect. I have just mentioned the temple sacrificial hall. Huasheng Hall inherited most of the achievements of the creation project. Those huge workshops are all over the Taoist sect, and each workshop is like a city. In comparison, the Maribod Hall controlled by Taiping Dazhen is even more powerful.

"In my opinion, Maribotang is a country in the middle of the country. Its land area is the area around the route and commercial roads, as well as the area where Maribotang members live. Nationals are members of Maribotang and their families. None of these "nationals" are ordinary people, all composed of Taoist priests, spiritual officials, Taoist children, and Taoist people.

"We Taoist people always have a sense of superiority when looking at local yamen. They are dirty towns, ignorant people, and incompetent officials. The same is true for looking at local yamen. The Taoist people always say what is in the place, and give people the feeling of what is in the countryside.

"Shibotang dares to do this, of course they have the confidence to be confident. They have an independent system, from education to various supply, including communication, divine power, spiritual officials, etc. From birth to old age, they are all independent of local governments, and they are self-owned, and in terms of level, they are far superior to local governments. This makes Shibotang the most crowded Taoist temple. Tiangang Hall cannot be compared with it, and Huashengtang, which has many workshops and craftsmen, is not good either."

Of course, Zhang Yuelu has heard of similar statements.

The Maritime Hall, Huasheng Hall, and Temple Sacrifice Hall all have a distinctive feature, that is, the hereditary system, the father takes over the grandfather's class, and the son takes over the father's class, and it is passed down from generation to generation. The fellow countrymen are not their own people, and only members of the same Taoist temple are considered their own people.

The confidence of these Taoist temples is to cover all food, clothing, housing and transportation. Among them, the Maribotang is the most popular, so the system is richest, the most sound and the most independent.

The internal medical care, communication, education, housing, promotion, and even judicial system are independent and self-organized. Even if the people in the Maritime Hall commit crimes, the Maritime Hall will be judged by themselves. It is not the turn of Fengxian Hall or the local government to intervene. If the local government insists on taking care of it, then it will be touched to see whose fist is harder.

The Maribotang even has its own independent spiritual officer system: escort spiritual officers.

These spiritual officials are independently supplied with divine power by the Shibotang Hall and do not obey the order of Tiangang Hall. If they really want them to fight Tiangang Hall, they dare to fight. After all, there are flying boats on both sides. Some flying boats carrying cargo are slightly modified and replaced with cannons, which is the warship.

In this way, the advantage is special internal unity, and the disadvantage is special internal unity.

This is more like a new type of canal transportation system in the Taoist era.

The Li family firmly grasps such a force, which is sometimes more effective than mastering a great Dao Mansion.

The haze in Zhang Yuelu's heart became heavier and he looked at Yan Dazhenren.

Yan Dazhenren said: "The price of gold has been rising rapidly recently."

Zhang Yuelu said to herself: "Gold in troubled times? But in order to avoid fluctuations in the exchange rate and the value of Taiping Money, don't major banks usually use Taiping Money to exchange for worry-free money?"

Yan Dazhenren said slowly: "That's right, but Wuyou money has an advantage. When the value is similar, Wuyou money is smaller in size, lighter in weight, easier to carry and transport, and the price of gold is stronger than that of silver. As for official tickets, it's okay to have a peaceful world. Once you enter a chaotic world, you have to ask a question mark if you can raise money."

Xiao Yin's mind was no longer on the storybook, and he kept looking at this side, his mind full of gold, silver, and money.

Zhang Yuelu glared at her, then looked at Yan Dazhenren, and said, "The cicadas first awaken before the golden wind moves. The wind rises at the end of the Qingping. Some people have already noticed that the big change is imminent and decided to stay away from right and wrong. Therefore, they exchanged the cash and real estate in their hands into gold that is easier to carry, causing the gold price to rise rapidly in a short period of time. What else?"

Yan Dazhenren only said one word: "Boat."

"What?" Zhang Yuelu didn't react for a moment.

"Ship." Yan Dazhenren repeated again, "Taiping Road has recently opened multiple long-sealed docks and has rehired a large number of craftsmen. Some people threatened to make the shipbuilding industry great again, and shipbuilding is like laying dumplings. Many speculators are investing in the shipbuilding industry at this time, believing that this is a mountain of gold."

Zhang Yuelu immediately asked, "Are these ships warships?"

Yan Dazhenren did not directly answer this question: "Some of these ships will be sent to the South China Sea, not far from the Jiangnan prefectures, and some will go to the South China Sea. These are not for fishing, and whaling cannot use such a large ship."

Zhang Yuelu couldn't help but hammer the table in front of her with her fist: "What the hell are they going to do? This is just preparing for the war. Are they going to fight a civil war?"

Xiao Yin finally couldn't help but interrupt and said, "Are you talking about whale fishing? Where can I participate in whale fishing?"

Zhang Yuelu scolded, "Look at your book."

Xiao Yin did not dare to disobey Zhang Yuelu, but secretly made a face at Zhang Yuelu and stuck out his tongue.

Yan Dazhenren said at the end: "A Golden Que Grand Discussion will be held soon, which may be related to this."

Zhang Yuelu was stunned for a moment, and then said, "After every time the Jinque Dao talks, something will happen, and never exception. But this time, I hope to be the other way around, and I hope the Jinque Dao talks can stop something about to happen."

Yan Dazhenren said lightly: "It depends on how the third division is talking. Maybe they can come up with a way to change the fate of the Taoist sect."

Zhang Yuelu immediately thought of the scene predicted by "Guizang Lamp" - the third division quarreled in front of the Jinge.
