Chapter 369 Dai Mubai Expresses His Loyalty
At this conference, the news that the Canaan Chamber of Commerce and the Spirit Hall had a falling out was known to all the major forces.
Ning Fengzhi even said bluntly that Canaan City was the next target of the Spirit Hall's key suppression.
The principle that the enemy of my enemy is my friend does not apply to them. Because Canaan City is also their enemy.
Tang San and Yu Xiaogang even gloated over the misfortune. If the Spirit Hall really destroyed Han Yu, it would undoubtedly be a great joy for them.
After thinking for a while, Tang San suggested: "Teacher, Mu Bai is an important part of our plan after all. I think we should discuss this with him. His opinion is very important, so as to avoid disagreements in the future and cause any trouble."
"Okay, you go and call him. There are some things that we really need to let him know." Yu Xiaogang nodded.
Tang San acted quickly and brought Dai Mubai here soon.
Now they are in the start-up stage, and the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect does not keep idle people. As the disciples of the Power Clan started a construction business in the city, the medicinal materials business urgently needed manpower. The Shrek Seven Devils were also assigned to different positions by Tang San.
"Master, Xiao San, what do you want to see us for?" Dai Mubai patted the dust off his body and asked curiously.
The dust was raised, and a scent of medicinal herbs came to his face. Yes, Dai Mubai was one of the managers of the medicinal materials warehouse.
Yu Xiaogang took out a handkerchief from his arms and covered his nose habitually, "Mubai, Xiao San and I have discussed something and need your opinion."
"My opinion?" Dai Mubai was puzzled.
Normally, all decisions of the Shrek Seven Devils are made by Tang San and Yu Xiaogang. When did his Dai Mubai's opinion become so important?
After Tang San's words, Dai Mubai finally understood.
He must give a clear answer to this matter.
That's the throne, the position he dreamed of.
Dai Mubai cried with joy and quickly expressed his attitude, "Master, Xiaosan, I agree. I will listen to you. I will do whatever you tell me to do."
"Look, you are anxious again." Yu Xiaogang smiled faintly, "Mubai, a qualified emperor will at least not easily reveal his feelings. The throne is indeed precious, but if you lose your patience, the deployment of Xiaosan and I may fail."
Tang San continued, "Mubai, first of all, before my uncle (Master Haotian) and I reach a consensus, this matter cannot be closed. Conclusion. If the uncle is interested, he will definitely talk to you. But if you behave like this, I don't think it will happen. "
Hearing that the throne would slip through his fingers, Dai Mubai immediately became anxious. He grabbed Tang San's hands and said anxiously: "Xiao San, what should I do? I will listen to your arrangements. If I become the emperor, you will be the king of a different surname in the Xingluo Empire. Master is the national teacher, you must think of a way. "
Although Dai Mubai's performance was unbearable, the promise he made inadvertently was very useful in Yu Xiaogang's eyes.
At the beginning, he left the family just to prove himself. Now that he has wasted half his life, he can be promoted to the national teacher of the Xingluo Empire, which is enough for him to fight for himself.
"Mubai, I know you are anxious, but please don't be anxious. In a short period of time, the effect of training you may not be very obvious. Let's do this. You quit your job in the medicine warehouse these days and follow Xiaosan to learn some ways of dealing with things."
"In addition, you can also agree on some secret codes with Xiaosan. Xiaosan is very calm and efficient in handling things. It will be of great help to you if you refer to Xiaosan's opinions more."
Although Yu Xiaogang did not say it explicitly, his words revealed that he wanted Dai Mubai to act according to Tang San's mood. Moreover, even if he becomes the emperor in the future, he will be a puppet emperor.
Dai Mubai was born in the royal family. He may not understand the ways of the world, but he has been exposed to the affairs of the court since he was a child. Naturally, he knows a lot.
But he has no choice. Tang San can rely on the power of Haotian Sect to help himself to the throne, or he can use the power of Haotian Sect to support others. It's just that in the process of exchanging interests, Dai Mubai can give them the greatest benefit.
Dai Mubai had already thought it through. Even if he was just a puppet, he was still an emperor. At that time, he would let the imperial teacher Yu Xiaogang and the regent Tang San handle the government affairs on his behalf, and he would concentrate on enjoying himself. Wouldn't that be happy?
"Master is right. I will definitely learn a lot from Xiao San. In the future, if you ask me to go east, I, Dai Mubai, will never go west."
Seeing that the other party was very sensible, Tang San smiled and said, "Mubai, you are too polite. We are all classmates, so there are naturally reasons to support you to be the emperor. Besides, we all have common enemies."
As long as Dai Mubai is obedient, things will be easy to handle later.
"Mubai, regarding your injury, I will definitely find a way for you as soon as possible." Tang San said, "At present, more than half of the medicinal materials have been collected, and the next few medicines may be difficult to find. But don't worry, I, Tang San, will definitely do what I promised you."
"Xiao San!" Dai Mubai's eyes were filled with tears, and his heart was extremely moved.
After a while of greetings, Dai Mubai left Yu Xiaogang's room. The first thing he did after leaving was to quit his current job.
Although he lost his source of income in the short term, for long-term investment, the loss of money now is not a big deal.
Tang San was not idle either. After getting Dai Mubai's reply, he still needed to stabilize Ning Fengzhi.
They had limited funds in their hands, so they had to work hard in one direction. If Ning Fengzhi continued with his original plan, Tang San would have to consider a backup plan.
...
In the temporary ancestral hall of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect, Gu Rong sat on a chair and couldn't help sighing, "Fengzhi, the disciples below have been very dissatisfied these days."
It's easy to go from simple to luxurious, but it's hard to go from luxurious to frugal. This sentence is absolutely correct.
The disciples of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect are used to a life of heaven and earth. Now not only is their income sharply reduced, but they are also required to participate in labor in person. In addition, there are very few entertainment facilities in Carlo City, and they have money but nowhere to spend it.
At first, they were still immersed in the grief of the destruction of the sect, and they didn't complain for a short time. But as Titan took the disciples of the Power Clan away, someone had to do those miscellaneous, dirty and tiring work. Ning Fengzhi didn't have much spare money to hire servants, and these disciples were likely to reveal their identities inadvertently. Then, troubles would ensue.
Therefore, even if he had money, he couldn't, or didn't dare to, hire servants.
"Uncle Gu, it's good to temper them. The sect is in a special period now, and we can't let them do whatever they want. In addition, stop them from going to the Wuhun Hall to receive soul master subsidies. Those who violate the rules will be punished by the clan law."
Gu Rong suggested: "Fengzhi, I'm worried that things will go to extremes. How about this, I'll find some mutes in the city to work as servants. While improving the quality of life of the disciples, they won't leak our news. As for these mutes, as long as we provide food, we don't even have to pay them."
For ordinary families, mutes are money-losing goods. Not only can they not find a job, but they also eat the rice at home for free. Only mutes born in noble families will have a slightly better life.
The key is that few mutes can read. Without hearing, they can't reveal news.
Ning Fengzhi thought about it and agreed. It was just a few more mouths to feed, and the current Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect could still afford it.
"Uncle Gu, you must personally check the selection of people to prevent normal people from mixing in. In addition, you can also find some blind people to work in some confidential places."
After dealing with an important matter in the clan, Ning Fengzhi was about to take a break, but heard Tang San's voice.
"Uncle Ning, are you free? I have something important to discuss with you."
Even if Tang San didn't say it, Ning Fengzhi guessed what it was.
Tang San was an expert in medicinal materials and would not ask for his opinion.
"Xiao San, come here, Uncle Gu and I are here."
Entering the ancestral hall, Tang San bowed and said, "Uncle Ning, Senior Gu Douluo."
"Xiao San, please sit down first."
After Tang San sat down, Ning Fengzhi continued, "Xiao San, if there is anything important, just tell me. Uncle Gu and I will think of a solution for you."
Tang San didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point, "Uncle Ning, let's talk about what I said before. I agree with your decision. But I think that supporting Mu Bai to ascend the throne and take control of the Xing Luo Empire will bring higher returns in the future than the Tian Dou Empire. Moreover, the investment cost is relatively low."
"I know Mu Bai inside and out, and some things will not happen again."
Ning Fengzhi didn't want to, but Dai Mu Bai's performance made him lose any confidence.
Gu Rong sneered: "Dai Mubai is indeed good, but he has not grown up yet. In terms of time, we can't afford to wait. You have to know that after the re-election meeting of the seven major sects, the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect will gradually fade out of the mainland's vision in the future. We must rebuild the sect before the influence of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect disappears, so that it is possible to recast the glory of the sect. In terms of time, we can't afford to waste."
This is almost an open secret, and it doesn't matter if Gu Rong says so.
Tang San smiled and said slowly: "Senior Bone Douluo, in the past, we did need a long time. But now that the Haotian Sect has moved to the territory of the Xingluo Empire, we can join forces to push Mubai to that position."
"Mubai once told me that if Sect Master Ning is willing to help him, he will give the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect the same power and status as it did in the Tiandou Empire."
These are things that Ning Fengzhi is interested in.
However, for an old fox, he would not express his opinion immediately, "Xiao San, how about this. If the Haotian Sect supports Dai Mubai, the Qibao Liuli Sect will unconditionally support Dai Mubai's ascension to the throne. However, before that, I need to meet with Sect Master Tang."
The Qibao Liuli Sect can only gamble once. Once it fails, it will be a bottomless abyss. Ning Fengzhi can't help but be cautious.
Tang San nodded, "Uncle Ning, I will send a message to my uncle later and let him know in advance. After the Haotian Sect is completed, we will visit again."
"Okay."
...
The migration process of the Haotian Sect was quite smooth. Xue Qinghe was afraid that they would stay here and not leave, so he not only opened the door for them along the way, but also urged them to speed up when they passed by some cities.
"Master, I think it's better to wait and see." The second elder said in a deep voice: "Canaan City has indeed broken up with the Spirit Hall, but don't forget that they still have the Heaven Dou Empire behind them. The Spirit Hall wants to maintain their interests in the Heaven Dou Empire, so they will definitely not have an open conflict with Canaan City."
"Canaan City's main source of income is the Canaan Chamber of Commerce. As long as their relationship with Xue Qinghe lasts one day, the wealth they can earn will be endless. So Master, we don't need to contact them now."
Regarding Tang Xiao's desire to join forces with Han Yu, the second elder gave his opinion.
Tang Xiao thought for a while and said, "Among the new seven major sects, six are minions of the Spirit Hall. What happened not long ago may also be intentional. When the storm is over, the Spirit Hall may contact Han Yu. I am worried that Han Yu will turn to the Spirit Hall camp. By then, our situation will be even more unfavorable."
The second elder nodded, "Master, this is indeed a problem. But now, our top priority is to build the new headquarters of the sect and settle the clansmen. At this juncture, I don't think it is worth doing something with a low success rate."
"Besides, we came to the Xingluo Empire for our own interests."
"I heard that the second prince of the Xingluo Empire, Dai Mubai, is a good classmate of Tang San. If we can get more benefits from him, why don't we support him."
Hearing this, Tang Xiao remembered.
"Second elder, I have heard of Dai Mubai. However, Davis is in power now. Even if our Haotian Sect enters the territory of Xingluo Empire, Xingluo Empire will most likely not let us touch the court in order to guard against us."
"In Davis' current state, as long as he does not lose Dai Tianfeng's trust, the future emperor of Xingluo Empire can only be him. Pushing Dai Mubai out now will not only alert the enemy, but may also make Davis change his opinion of us. I personally think it is not worth it."
The second elder heard that Tang Xiao made some sense, so he did not intend to speak. But the third elder had a different opinion.
"Master, have you ever thought about why Davis treats us so well?"
"In terms of strength, there are a lot of hidden sects in the Xingluo Empire. Davis can find them. After the re-election meeting of the seven major sects, the influence of our Haotian Sect is rising. The Xingluo Empire is also a very centralized country and will not watch us grow."
Tang Xiao glanced at him, "Third Elder, what do you mean?"
The third elder continued: "Master, I think Davis is trying to win us over because he wants to do something but dares not do it, and he needs our help. As the heir of the Xingluo Empire, he will do it at all costs."
At this point, Tang Xiao immediately understood.
"The turbulent situation on the mainland may not end in a short time. The second elder is right, we still have to wait."
