Chapter 313 The Rent Collector in the Immortal Cultivation World...
"What countermeasures are there?" Zhou Shihong instantly became alert.
"It's very simple," Qin Mo put down the wine gourd, "Take advantage of the favorable opportunity when the four major immortal sects have not yet been established and have not made any merits for this world, and establish the authority of Tianshu."
"How, how do we stand?"
Zhou Shihong suddenly lost his confidence. That person is an immortal, how could he fight him head-on?
"The so-called establishing authority does not mean showing strength, but making rules. Since the establishment of the four major immortal gates and the foreseeable subsequent sects is inevitable, can Tianshu take the initiative to step forward and take positive actions to take the lead in formulating standards, procedures and operating rules for establishing sects?" Qin Mo said.
Rule makers,
They are often the ones who hold the power to speak.
"Standards, what standards?" Zhou Shihong was still a little confused.
"Let me give you a very simple example. If a Chinese cultivator wants to establish a sect, regardless of the level of their cultivation, they must at least have a unique sect-defining technique, right? If the sect leader himself practices common techniques such as "Tai Chi Xuan Qing Dao" and "Fen Xiang Yu Ce", can it still be considered as establishing a sect? No way."
"yes,"
Zhou Shihong's eyes gradually brightened up, "This way, we can stop more than 90% of the cultivators."
Tianshu is not just a decoration.
Over the past twenty years, Tianshu has been using the name of sharing martial arts, and at the same time, in order to fill the libraries of Taoist temples at all levels, it has basically collected all the mainstream martial arts practiced by players.
Books like "Tai Chi Xuan Qing Dao" and "Fen Xiang Yu Ce" are already semi-public Taoist methods, and basically all Taoist students who meet the requirements can practice them.
You can't use this to establish a sect, right? What's the difference between that and a Taoist temple?
The key is that this will not offend the four major immortal sects.
Celestial beings like True Lord Yuyang should have no objection to the standard set by Tianshu. After all, this is what the world of earthly immortals has always done.
Qin Mo continued, "In addition to the hard indicator of having a sect-defining technique, Tianshu can also systematically rate all the blessed places in China, scientifically score them, and classify them into different levels. Correspondingly, the sects applying to be established must also be rated. Only when they meet the rating requirements can they apply for blessed places of the corresponding level. You can't say that a small Jindan cultivator can apply to set up a dojo in Wuyi Mountain, right?"
The assessment of a sect's strength is nothing more than the sect leader's level of cultivation, the number of disciples, the strength and potential of the disciples, and other such indicators.
Because of the existence of "Honghuang", these indicators can be quantified.
Doing so is not only an opportunity to eliminate those who are just filling in the numbers, but also a disguised way of keeping a number of high-quality blessed places in the hands of Tianshu to prevent them from being abused.
Based on the current level of players, how high a score can they give?
Similarly, this item will not touch the bottom line of the four major immortal sects at present. With the level of the four immortals, they can naturally be rated as the highest level and are qualified to occupy the Qingcheng Mountain and other blessed places.
As for the future, we will talk about it in the future.
"You mean you want Tianshu to play a role similar to the Cultivation Association?" Zhou Shihong finally began to follow Qin Mo's thoughts and couldn't help but admire him.
"That's what I mean." Qin Mo nodded with a smile. "If Tianshu doesn't do this, when there are many sects in the future, the four major sects will take the initiative to coordinate this matter and then form a set of effective unspoken rules. But in that case, the right to speak will be controlled by the four major sects, and Tianshu will have no chance."
"Right now, the four major sects are newly established and have a lot of work to do. They don't have the energy to do this. Chinese cultivators still have some fear of Tianshu, so they can accomplish this." Qin Mo added.
This is called the strategic window period.
"Yes, it is good,"
Zhou Shihong was quite worried. "But even so, Tianshu can only act as an auxiliary rating agency. It may delay some things, but it cannot really prevent the arrival of the sect era."
"How can the great trend be reversed so easily?" Qin Mo was in a good mood, and said with a smile: "Having the right to speak is only the first step, the real foundation lies in stabilizing the Taoist academies at all levels.
"Of course, the four major sects cannot be shaken for the time being, but at least we can try to build the Taoist Academy to be more influential than small and medium-sized sects, and more attractive to cultivators, right ?"
This is called snatching students.
Before the establishment of the four great sects, Taoist academies were basically equivalent to schools. Students came and went freely, with no restrictions and little sense of belonging.
Just like passers-by.
But as the era of sects is about to begin, the Taoist academy will evolve into another special form of sect. If it wants to compete with the sects, it must improve the cohesion of the Taoist academy.
The previous rules will naturally have to be changed accordingly.
"We must find a way to give students a greater sense of belonging and collective honor, different from the sect's complacency, and let students establish the concept of 'China is home, the Taoist temple is home'."
"I know this is difficult, but this is the only way." Qin Mo said solemnly.
Zhou Shihong suddenly laughed. He was not frightened by the difficulties described by Qin Mo. On the contrary, his mind suddenly became clear, as if the clouds had cleared and he could see the light again in the darkness.
"Difficulties are not scary, what is scary is the lack of hope." Zhou Shihong has cheered up.
At times like this, it is time to give full play to the advantages of Chinese civilization and system.
Family and country feelings,
From the moment of birth, it is deeply engraved in the blood of every Chinese son and daughter.
Seeing that Zhou Shihong was a little overconfident, Qin Mo had to remind him: "It is good to persuade him with righteousness, but we must also persuade him with benefits. This is the eternal right way."
Qin Mo has never liked to define the general public as "nice-to-haves", he prefers to define them as "vulgar people".
The word "common people" is not a derogatory term but a neutral word. People have seven emotions and six desires, greed, anger, ignorance and resentment, are selfish most of the time and are ordinary.
But sometimes, these ordinary people will burst into awe-inspiring brilliance.
In order to maintain the operation of a sect of immortal cultivation, in addition to the sect's rules, it is very important that the sect has a certain amount of spiritual fields, spiritual mountains, spiritual veins and other industrial support, so as to continuously produce cultivation resources to meet the daily practice needs of the sect's disciples.
Without these, why would disciples be expected to pledge allegiance to the sect?
This is why all sects, big or small, hope to have a high-level paradise as their headquarters.
That is the foundation for the sect's survival.
Even so, as the resources of the blessed land become increasingly depleted, the number of disciples and their cultivation levels continue to increase, the required resources for cultivation will increase, and it will become more and more difficult to maintain the sect as time goes by.
In many small worlds, the so-called war between Taoism and demons is often caused by competition for resources.
The so-called distinction between good and evil,
It's just an excuse to go to war with each other.
In the world of earthly immortals, the five major immortal gates like Chunyang Palace and Shenxiao Sect actually have similar problems. Fortunately, the five major immortal gates have their own small caves, which can greatly alleviate the dilemma of resource consumption.
If necessary,
The immortals in the immortal sect will also take advantage of the opportunity to travel through the heavens to gain cultivation resources for the sect.
Taoist academies at all levels want their students to have the same sense of belonging as they do in a sect. The first thing they need to do is to provide students with sufficient training resources in accordance with the sect’s standards.
otherwise,
Why should these students stay in the Taoist academy instead of going to a sect that offers better treatment?
This alone is a huge burden for Tianshu.
Every temple,
That is equivalent to a small sect.
Before this, students in the Taoist academy did not have such treatment. At most, they were given some convenience in terms of their skills, but most of the cultivation resources still had to be obtained by the students themselves in "Honghuang".
At most, a little subsidy will be given.
This is just a small amount of subsidy, and it is channeled through Mohua Company.
Although the revival of Blue Star's spiritual energy has lasted for forty years, such a short period of time is not even enough for a spiritual herb to reach a hundred years old, so its foundation is a bit shallow.
Although it is shallow, it has huge potential.
Since the revival of spiritual energy, the concentration of spiritual energy on Blue Star has caught up with the level of the Warring States subcontinent, but even so, there seems to be no sign of stopping.
It is inevitable to catch up with the world of earthly immortals in the future.
Just now,
We will have to endure hard times for some time.
"After hearing what you said, why do I feel that the future is difficult again?" Zhou Shihong was not as depressed as before. He said in a deep voice: "From this point of view, the leadership of the Dai Viet Dynasty still has to be in the hands of Tianshu."
When Blue Star was still unable to become self-sufficient, the resource-rich Dai Viet Dynasty was undoubtedly a great supplement to the sects and Taoist temples of Blue Star.
It is bound to become one of the focuses of competition between the two sides in the future.
Qin Mo thought more deeply, "In the long run, it is not enough to rely solely on the blood transfusion of "Honghuang". We must also give full play to the advantages of China's blessed land. That is the real treasure."
“But these blessed places will one day be devoured by the sects.” Zhou Shihong is not without foresight, he is just more depressed about the future situation.
"Then, why not consider collecting rent?" Qin Mo said.
"Collect, collect rent?"
Qin Mo's thoughts jumped too fast and Zhou Shihong was unable to react.
"Yes, collecting rent." Qin Mo was calm. "Huaxia can allow qualified cultivators to set up dojo in cave paradises of corresponding levels, but it does not mean that these cave paradises will belong to the sects forever. The sects can have the right to use the cave paradises, but the ownership must belong to Huaxia."
"Is there any difference?" Zhou Shihong smiled bitterly.
A sect is not a shop. Once it is established, unless it is destroyed, it will often occupy it for hundreds or even thousands of years, and the secular world will have no idea how many times it has cycled through time and space.
The so-called ownership is nothing more than a piece of paper.
"How can there be no difference?" Qin Mo did not see it that way. "Since it is a transfer of the right to use, the sect can mine the mineral veins in the blessed land and plant spiritual herbs in the mountains, but it must pay a certain amount of rent every year."
These rents,
It will become the key to maintaining the operation of the Taoist temple in the future.
