However, now that the battle has been lost, the kings have ignored all the promises made on the wine table. Yu Rulong himself has no face to ask the kings to fulfill their promises.
It doesn't matter if you don't have money, the most important thing is that there is no one. Without the captive slaves to work, Yu Rulong had to hire people at a high price. This is another large expenditure for no reason.
The projects up and down the mountain were halfway through, and they couldn't be put on hold. In desperation, Yu Rulong summoned the backbone of Ming Guangzong and discussed with them to spend part of their savings to build the sect first.
As soon as she said this idea, the people below had different opinions.
Her apprentices and die-hards readily agreed. They all said that the suzerain cannot be allowed to pay alone, the sect belongs to everyone, as it should be.
Yu Rulong is naturally very satisfied with this statement.
Others, however, don't think so.
Some people thought: what? Not only did the Zongmen refuse to pay the monthly payment, but they asked me to hand it over? Then what is the use of me joining this sect
Others thought: hold the grass! I'm living on that foundation now, if I gave it to you, how would I live? What do I use to practice
Some people thought: What the hell, I really shouldn't have come here with her, it would be fine if I stayed in the Aurora Sect, and there would be no such nonsense.
Although everyone has their own ideas, but under Yu Rulong's stern supervision, the backbones present have to take out some treasures.
Yu Rulong accepted everyone's "voluntary" donations and said with a smile, "Very good! We are a family and we must share weal and woe. With your great help, I think our sect will have a bright future."
Everyone below laughed and nodded.
After leaving the conference hall, many people couldn't help talking strange things in private and complaining.
Some deacons did not want to lose money themselves, so they took money from their subordinates.
As soon as these people did it, there were constant complaints from below, and some people complained to the suzerain. Yu Rulong simply ordered everyone in the sect to donate part of their property to jointly build the sect.
She was preventing someone from collecting money from disciples privately in the name of building the sect.
Those deacons had to hand over half of the money they collected privately to Yu Rulong.
However, Yu Rulong's actions chilled the hearts of many disciples.
She brought out more than two thousand people, but most of them were not her hardcore supporters. But because of long hesitation, Yu Qingyao didn't want it, and they were kicked out together.
They follow Yu Rulong, hoping to live a better life and get more cultivation resources.
Now, a discerning person can see that Ming Guangzong has no money or resources, so what do you expect
Many people regretted it and felt that they should not have come out with Yu Rulong.
Many of them also secretly have contact with friends in the Aurora Sect. They knew that in the Aurora Sect, because they left, many positions were vacant, and many acquaintances they didn't like at first, so they all rose to the top, and the monthly payment was reduced because of the number of people, and the new suzerain was generous, so everyone increased Ten percent. Even the income of mortals has increased by 10% on average.
Now, not only can they not get monthly payment from the sect, but they have to pay to build the sect. The sect is so big, I don't know when it will be completed.
Zongmen is so poor, I don't know when and what month will be able to have a monthly payment.
Comparing the two, the gap in their hearts is even greater.
Some old fritters turned to ask for friendship, conveyed their repentance to Yu Qingyao, and wanted to return to the Aurora Sect.
Yu Qingyao didn't care about it at first, but when she received too many invitations, she realized that the people who knew Ming Guangzong regretted it, and it is estimated that Ming Guangzong's situation is not very good.
After Li Huaide learned about it, he suggested to the suzerain: "You might as well take them back. With these people as examples, Ming Guangzong's hearts will be scattered, and they will scramble to join you."
Yu Qingyao thought for a while, smiled and shook her head, and said, "No, if I wanted them, I wouldn't have driven them away at that time. Once betrayed, I won't use it for a lifetime. I don't want traitors around me!"
Seeing her determination, Li Huaide sighed and said, "Then, what about these people? Let them continue to follow Yu Rulong, it will be a disaster sooner or later. They have no way out, and they will inevitably gather crowds to plunder. The reputation will be ruined."
Yu Qingyao asked in surprise: "No way? Can't they do tasks to make money?"
Li Huaide laughed and said: "Sovereign, you don't know something. In the Northland, even if ghosts appear, the aliens will find their own way to solve it. If they don't, they don't need to ask Taoists for help."
It dawned on Yu Qingyao that the aliens living in the North had their own supernatural powers. Although their supernatural powers were weak, they were comparable to the small spells of Taoists of the Yang Qi rank. They were not afraid of ordinary aliens to deal with ordinary little demons and ghosts. For more powerful monsters, aliens have warriors, so they can't be singled out, and they can also send troops to kill monsters.
Ordinary ghosts usually don't dare to provoke aliens, let alone hang out in alien tribes and cities.
"There's always another way of making a living, isn't there?"
"Do you think they will be willing to take grass pills for a living? Will they go to the mountains to collect herbs for a living? Being a businessman loses their status, and being a guard of a foreign race is even more expensive. In the past, people from the Aurora Sect were guests in all tribes when they went out. The kind that only takes money."
Yu Qingyao was sweating, and said with a smile: "Then, how do you think they will make a living in the future?"
Li Huaide said quietly: "Instigating a war between tribes, or instigating a struggle for succession within the tribe, and then supporting one side for profit, is what they will do."
A foreigner does not need a Taoist to live well on his own. If the Taoist wants to gain a sense of existence and make other people willing to consciously give up their rights, there is only war.
The Aurora Sect used this method before to subdue the tribes of aliens, which is why they have such a transcendent status today.
Yu Qingyao was sweating profusely after hearing this, and imagined the scene of continuous wars among the alien tribes.
She resolutely said: "This can't be done! I hate war, and I don't want the North to be in chaos."
Li Huaide looked at his junior sister appreciatively, her answer did not meet his expectations.
Yu Qingyao looked at the confident Tian Huailan, rolled her eyes, and said with a smile: "What good idea do you have?"
Li Huaide spread his hands and said: "I originally wanted you to take those people back to the sect, but you refused, I can't help it."
Yu Qingyao shook her head and said, "It's impossible to go back to the sect, let me think about it again."
Li Huaide sat on the side with a smile and waited. He was very curious, wondering what method his junior sister would come up with.
Yu Qingyao thought for a while, then asked hesitantly: "Tell me, are they willing to go to the human country?"
Li Huaide was surprised, touched his chin, and thought about it.
His original thoughts were much darker than Yu Qingyao's. He was a prince and an emperor, and he couldn't get used to those Taoists who betrayed his master. He was thinking of using returning to the sect as a bait to lure the Ming Guangzong to kill each other, and when the people of the Ming Guangzong were almost dead, he would strike a thunderbolt and completely eliminate the Ming Guangzong.
After thinking for a while, Li Huaide said: "It's hard to say! They are used to living in the North, so they may not be willing to return to the human race. The Taoist temples of the human race countries may not be willing to accept it."
