Chapter 25: Support

"Financial resources?" "Su Fan, that kid, sent five thousand taels before, and this time he sent another three thousand taels. According to his meaning, expanding the business, he can provide thirty thousand taels every year in the future, and even if the sea trade is opened, one hundred thousand a year is not a problem."

Ning Qingyu said calmly, but his tone carried a hint of eagerness. One hundred thousand taels of silver is not a small amount. Even the Huashan Sect's annual income is only that much.

One must know that the Huashan Sect's territory involves over a thousand miles around the Qinling Mountains, covering two provinces, to have so much income.

Su Fan, that kid, actually has this ability.

For a time, Ning Qingyu even wanted to call this kid back and let him become the Huashan Sect's business elder. This ability to make money is too powerful.

He didn't doubt whether the other party was bragging. After all, in just half a year, he sent nearly ten thousand taels of silver to Huashan.

The other party had only been in Liaodong for a year.

He didn't expect that the bitter cold place of Liaodong could also make money.

"So much?"

Everyone's expressions were no longer calm. If they could really have an extra one hundred thousand taels of silver, then their Huashan Sect could recruit more disciples and wouldn't have to live such a tight life.

Don't look at them as infinitely glorious in the Jianghu, but because there are many disciples and much consumption, no one is very wealthy.

Compared to Shaolin and Wudang, they are far behind. One must know that Shaolin alone has twenty thousand mu of fertile land, which has an income of at least twenty thousand silver every year.

The Huashan Sect has less than ten thousand mu in these years.

Wudang has the Imperial Court's salary, so they are not short of silver either.

This is also why the Huashan Sect has always wanted to clash in Shaanxi and enter the Central Plains in these years, just to make money.

However, Shaolin has been intentionally or unintentionally obstructing them.

Su Fan's appearance gave the Huashan Sect an opportunity.

"Su Fan, that kid, in the road of making money, I'm afraid no one in our Huashan Sect is his match. Since he said so, then it must be true, and those major clans in the south are indeed each very wealthy."

Zhou Qingyun stroked his beard and said. He had been to the south when he was young. "It is said that those major clans are all involved in sea trade."

"Su Fan also wants to be involved in the sea trade business. Since that is the case, Sect Leader, you should send more people, and involving sea trade definitely requires ships. We can provide him with some craftsmen."

Zhou Qingyun was very experienced. Although he didn't have Su Fan's broad vision, he considered the details very thoroughly. None of the others had considered this point.

"Great Elder is still the most thoughtful." Ning Qingyu nodded upon hearing this. Getting a batch of craftsmen is not difficult for the Huashan Sect.

After all, the Huashan Sect has a certain influence in the Xi'an Prefecture government. In the past, some outer sect disciples left the Huashan Sect; some went back to establish martial arts families, some ran gangs, and some entered the army.

There are some Huashan Sect disciples in the Nine Borders military towns.

Of course, their status is not high, at most low-level military officers like battalion commanders.

But no matter what, getting a batch of craftsmen is not difficult.

"Since Liaodong is so important, should we send a few people over?" An elder couldn't help but say. Of course, he wasn't coveting the industry Su Fan had opened, but was worried that Su Fan and the others couldn't guard such a large industry.

"No! We cannot move. Now Shaolin is definitely staring at us closely. Once we move, they will discover it, and Su Fan's side will definitely be discovered."

Ning Qingyu was still calm and quickly refused.

Su Fan is now their Huashan Sect's dark piece, so naturally, he must be well protected.

"Junior Brother Fang, the matter of craftsmen is left to you. As for the outer sect disciples Su Fan wants, choose those who are low-key and have no fame outside."

"And when the time comes, let them act separately and don't expose their identities."

Everything is for the sake of confidentiality.

Afterward, Ning Qingyu exhorted a few more points, and the entire Huashan Sect was also acting quickly.

The Huashan Sect's actions naturally quickly affected the Jianghu. With such a large move of continuously shrinking its power, how could it not be understood by others?

The Jianghu was puzzled. What happened to the Huashan Sect? Could it be that a major war was really about to break out, and the Huashan Sect was gathering people?

Even Shaolin was puzzled.

The Huashan Sect was too decisive this time and also gave up a lot of territory. At first, many martial arts forces in those places were still wary, but months passed, and they still didn't see the Huashan Sect make any moves.

So these forces, like sharks smelling blood, rushed to the territory abandoned by Huashan one after another.

For a time, slaughter unfolded in these places.

Countless Jianghu people fought for territory, resources, and wealth.

Such chaos also attracted the attention of the Demonic Cult, and some Demonic Cult figures also participated, engaging in slaughter with the local martial arts world.

Only this time, the Huashan Sect didn't make any moves, as if it had forgotten about that place.

This also made the Jianghu point fingers at the Huashan Sect.

However, the Huashan Sect didn't stand out for all of this, as if it had closed the mountain.

Three months later, the fifty-plus outer sect disciples sent by Ning Qingyu to Su Fan arrived one after another.

On Qipan Mountain, the Huashan Branch had long since been expanded.

In these mountains, a large area of pavilions overlapped.

Seventy inner and outer sect disciples of Huashan gathered in the hall. Su Fan sat in the main seat, looking at everyone with a smile on his face.

The Sect Leader sent him fifty-six outer sect disciples at once, seventeen of whom were second-rate. Added to the previous ones, there were a full thirty second-rate experts.

Placed in Liaodong, it was absolutely the strongest.

Liaodong itself is vast and sparsely populated, and there are very few Han people. As for other minority tribes, there are even fewer people.

Naturally, these Jianghu figures are also rare existences.

It is just a merchant who comes to collect leather and will have some Jianghu figures as guards.

But most are third-rate, or even unranked. Practicing a few years of basic skills naturally cannot compare to Huashan Sect disciples.

"Senior Brothers and Junior Brothers, today we can gather together, it is fate."

"Everyone is willing to come to help me, and I am very happy. I also swear again that I will never forget your help. At the same time, the sect's salary, I will provide double here."

Su Fan understands very well that everyone is willing to come not only because of the Sect Leader's order, but also for money. Otherwise, who would be willing to come to this bitter cold place?

"And once there is a task to go out, there will be a reward every time. I will take out two percent of the profits to reward those who participate in the journey."

"However, I will say the ugly words first: once you accept the task, you must strictly follow the words of the person in charge of the business. I hope everyone can remember this."

"If everyone is unwilling to accept, I won't force it. You can choose to continue staying here, or you can go back. I will explain it clearly to the Sect Leader."

Su Fan said all this in advance—a carrot and a stick. He believed that these people would make the right choice.

Sure enough, after Su Fan finished speaking, everyone had no objections. Instead, some were even happy. Two percent of the profits.

Some of the earlier disciples had already inquired clearly. Going to the desert, although dangerous, the profits were extremely high.

Since they joined the Jianghu, they had long been prepared for danger. ===== CHAPTER 26 =====
