At this moment, Zhou Luan asked, "Elders, what do you think?"
All the elders kept quiet out of fear. None of them dared to speak up.
The grey-haired cultivator spoke again, "We ask Shadow Master to let Blood Shadow join the Yan Kingdom.
Elders, do you agree to our request without saying a word? "
As soon as these words were spoken, some of the elders' expressions changed.
No matter how stupid they were, they knew that something was wrong.
How could a mediocre Zifu Realm cultivator dare to say something like that?
She then looked at Zhou Luan's calm appearance, as if she had long been prepared.
The Zhang and Xu family elders didn't care either. They were most likely the ones who instigated this.
Now, the disciples and elders who were willing to join the Yan Kingdom were fighting with the elders who weren't.
The judge was Zhou Luan, the Empress Dowager of the Yan Kingdom. The outside support was Wang Daoyuan, the Retired Emperor of the Yan Kingdom.
From the opponent to the judge to the outside support, they were all people of the Yan Kingdom. How could they fight?
At this moment, a Golden Core middle stage elder said, "Shadow Master, since the low-level disciples are willing to join the Yan Kingdom and the elders agree, let's do it."
A late-stage Zifu Realm cultivator quickly said, "Elder Wu Cheng is right. Since no one is against it, it means that everyone agrees."
Wu Cheng wasn't from the Blood Wolf Supervisor Wu Xiang's clan. Wu Xiang was also a high-ranking member of Blood Shadow. Besides, the Wu family had also joined the Yan Kingdom.
Elder Wu was just an ordinary elder who didn't belong to the direct line of descent. He was also an ambitious person who wanted a piece of the pie after the Zhang and Xu families fell.
Now that Blood Shadow's joining the Yan Kingdom was a foregone conclusion, his dream of getting a piece of the pie had been shattered.
If he didn't do anything now, he could only be an idler in the Yan Kingdom.
If he wanted better treatment in the future, this was the last chance to show off.
The other elders who had the same idea immediately understood and agreed with Blood Shadow's joining the Yan Kingdom.
With this group of people taking the lead, someone would take the blame. The other elders also took the opportunity to step down.
In a moment, all the low-level disciples and elders agreed to join the Yan Kingdom.
Zhou Luan waved her hand gently, and the crowd quieted down instantly.
She let out a long sigh. "Since all the disciples and elders have no objections, then I, as the Shadow Master, can only follow the wishes of the people.
I will contact the Yan Kingdom as soon as possible and ask them to send people to the headquarters to take over Blood Shadow's properties and settle the elders and disciples down. "
The Blood Shadow disciples gathered around the meeting hall all bowed and said, "The Shadow Lord is wise! The Shadow Lord is wise … "
Even the elders bowed and shouted in unison along with the disciples.
After a long time, the crowd gradually dispersed.
Wang Daoyuan also breathed a sigh of relief. It had been more than two hundred years since he had arranged for the Wang family members to enter the Shanbei branch.
Back then, he had only wanted to take control of a few branches so that he could get enough information.
Later on, he had broken through to Yuanying and helped Zhou Luan become the Shadow Master, all because he wanted the Wang Family to surpass the Zhang Family and the Xu Family in Blood Shadow.
Using Blood Shadow's inheritance system to nurture talents for the Wang Family.
Later on, when he found out that he was the Son of Providence, he thought of taking Blood Shadow as his subordinate.
After so many years of planning, the fruit that was Blood Shadow had finally ripened and could be harvested.
He sent a message to Wang Mingchen and told him that Blood Shadow had decided to integrate into the Yan Kingdom.
There was no need to worry about the rest. The Yan Kingdom's imperial court would take care of it.
There were already many Wang Family members in Blood Shadow's headquarters. In addition, the Zhang Family and the Xu Family had already submitted.
The Yan Kingdom knew the basic information of all the higher-ups of Blood Shadow like the back of their hand.
Now that Blood Shadow had decided to submit, the treatment of these higher-ups was urgently needed.
As long as these higher-ups were satisfied, they would be transferred to Qingli City.
No matter how capable they were, they would not be able to do much.
When the time came, Wang Daojian and the Wang Family members who had already joined Blood Shadow would just have to look after the headquarters.
In the future, Blood Shadow would be a first-class branch of the Wan Chuan Chamber of Commerce, mainly responsible for doing business in the Southern Wilderness.
Other than taking care of those properties, they did not need much manpower.
After evacuating the extra manpower, Blood Shadow would disappear completely.
More than ten days later, a few flying ships flew from the north to the sky above Blood Shadow's headquarters. These were the people sent by the Yan Kingdom to take over Blood Shadow's headquarters.
Wang Daojian led a few elders to welcome them. Soon, he led a group of more than twenty people to the conference hall of Blood Shadow's headquarters.
The head was the Twelfth Uncle, Wang Shouye. He was the Yan Kingdom's Prime Minister and an elder. He was the most suitable person to represent the Yan Kingdom's imperial court.
The deputy was the vice president of the Wan Chuan Chamber of Commerce, Wang Mingkang. He was originally the general manager of the Department of Commerce in the Finance Palace.
Later on, he was the one who led the establishment of the Wan Chuan Chamber of Commerce.
He was also in charge of the main affairs of the Wan Chuan Chamber of Commerce.
Wang Mingchen needed to cultivate and deal with the various affairs of the Yan Kingdom. He did not have much energy to manage the chamber of commerce.
The real leader of the chamber of commerce was still Wang Mingkang.
The others were all members of the Wan Chuan Chamber of Commerce. Some of them were from the Wang Family, and some were from the various branches of Blood Shadow.
Wang Daoyuan and Zhou Luan sat high up in the main seats. After everyone entered, they bowed to the two of them. "Greetings to the Retired Emperor and Empress Dowager."
Wang Daoyuan waved his hand and said, "No need to be so polite. Just follow Mingchen's arrangements."
Wang Shouye nodded and took out a bright yellow scroll. "This is the imperial edict of His Majesty."
The elders of Blood Shadow immediately bowed and listened to the imperial edict.
The general content of the imperial edict was: Blood Shadow's headquarters would be changed to the Wan Chuan Chamber of Commerce's Bibo Sea Branch. It would be a first-class branch, mainly in charge of the commerce in the Southern Wilderness.
The branch president of the Bibo Sea Branch would also be the vice president of the headquarters.
Zhang Yue, Cao Jing, Wang Daojian, and Wu Xiang had the highest positions in Blood Shadow.
Wang Daojian and Wu Xiang would be the vice presidents of the headquarters, while Zhang Yue and Cao Jing would continue to be the First and Second Elders.
The headquarters would also need to follow the structure of Blood Shadow's headquarters and set up the Finance Palace, Punishment Palace, General Affairs Palace, and so on.
The elders with real power in Blood Shadow's headquarters could be the Palace Master or Vice Palace Master in these institutions.
The rest of the elders with no responsibilities could be used according to their talents. They could be the managers of the important businesses of the chamber of commerce, or they could continue to be the elders with no responsibilities.
After the imperial edict was read out, First Elder Zhang Yue took it.
Zhou Luan took out a stack of beast-skin books and a seal. "This is the list of all the businesses and personnel of Blood Shadow, as well as the seal of the Blood Shadow Lord."
Wang Mingkang quickly stepped forward and took the beast-skin books and the seal after bowing.
Then, they began to discuss some details. Wang Daoyuan and Zhou Luan naturally didn't need to stay here, so they returned to the Zhou Family's courtyard.
Cao Jing cupped his hands and said, "I don't have much time left, so I don't have the energy to manage the chamber of commerce anymore.
I just want to get an official position in the Yan Kingdom's imperial court and enjoy the rest of my life. "
Wang Shouye smiled and said, "His Majesty has already ordered that all the elders can work in the Yan Kingdom's imperial court or the Wan Chuan Chamber of Commerce.
In addition, all the elders were able to obtain a Spiritual Vein of at least Level Four in Shanbei or Linhai Prefecture.
Now that the demon race has been driven away, if you are interested, you can also ask for an island in the East Sea to build your own family.
In the future, the Wan Chuan Chamber of Commerce will also set up a branch there.
Now, the only demon race in Beiyuan that can make a name for themselves is the West Sea Demon Race.
There are guards from the Archaic Mysteries Sect, the Taiyi Sword Sect, and the Wind Snow Divine Palace.
Among them, the Archaic Mysteries Sect and the Taiyi Sword Sect have Level Six magic artifacts, so it won't be a problem to block the demon beasts.
In the next hundreds or even thousands of years, there won't be any major turmoil in the territories of the various countries.
By then, there will be more and more cultivators.
One day, the inland won't be able to carry so many cultivators.
Countless itinerant cultivators will flood into the East Sea. Now that we have established our families there, it can be considered an opportunity. "
Wang Mingchen wanted to lure these elders to develop the East Sea, but these elders were all smart and none of them were willing to go.
Zhang Yue cupped his hands and said, "Prime Minister, most of our elders want to join the Wan Chuan Chamber of Commerce. What's the structure of the chamber of commerce?"
Wang Mingkang cupped his hands and said, "I'm the vice president of the headquarters, so I can answer Daoyou's doubts.
The previous structure of the chamber of commerce was relatively simple, which was that there were a few elders in the headquarters who were in charge of various affairs.
The vice president of each Level One branch was directly managed by the vice president of the headquarters, while the Level Two branch was managed by the Level One branch.
Now that Daoyou has joined, it naturally had to be adjusted.
The imperial edict had already said that there would be a finance hall, a refining hall, and other institutions in the future.
Every hall had a hall master and vice hall masters. The vice presidents of the Level One branch had the same status as the vice hall masters of the various halls.
The vice presidents of the important halls would be the hall masters.
In addition, the members of the chamber of commerce would be treated with positions and titles.
The titles were divided according to cultivation level. There were Level One Elder, Level Two Elder, and Manager.
Zifu Realm cultivators were managers, Golden Core cultivators were Level Two Elders, and Yuanying cultivators were Level One Elders.
In addition, those with special abilities or special contributions would be given the title of elder if their cultivation level was lower.
Different titles meant different treatment.
The positions included the president, vice president, Grand Elder, Second Elder, and other members of the elder group who handled daily affairs. The hall masters and vice hall masters of the various halls, as well as the presidents and vice presidents of the various branches.
There were also managers who were in charge of the various businesses under the Wan Chuan Chamber of Commerce, as well as shopkeepers of the various shops.
They would be treated differently according to their positions.
If they didn't have a position and only had a title, they would be an elder with no duties.
They could have a title, but not a position.
Even if Elder Cao didn't want to take a position in the Wan Chuan Chamber of Commerce, the chamber of commerce would still retain the title.
I've been involved in the preparation and reform of the chamber of commerce. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me. "
With a title, even if they didn't manage anything, they would still have some income.
This made many elders with no duties feel relieved. With their abilities and status, it was impossible for them to hold an important position in the Wan Chuan Chamber of Commerce.
A Golden Core cultivator was an elder with a high status in Blood Shadow. Even he couldn't bring himself to snatch jobs from those low-level cultivators.
At this moment, Elder Wu Cheng asked, "Vice President, how much is a Level Two Elder's monthly salary?"
This question was also on the minds of most elders with no duties. Even the elders with real power wanted to know the answer to this question.
Wang Mingkang replied, "A manager gets 3,000 spirit stones a month, a Level Two Elder gets 10,000 spirit stones a month, and a Level One Elder gets 50,000 spirit stones a month."
As soon as this was said, the elders with no duties were somewhat disappointed.
If they only relied on their titles to make a living, their income would be much lower than in Blood Shadow's headquarters.
At this moment, the finance hall master, Zhang Mengguang, asked, "How much is the position and salary?"
He was originally from the Zhang family. When he overthrew Zhang Dingyi, he had broken ties with the Zhang family, so his income wasn't very good.
"The Vice President and First Elder get 150,000 spirit stones a month. The Second Elder, Third Elder, and the hall masters get 120,000 spirit stones a month.
The other elders, Deputy Hall Masters, and the Level One branch presidents get 100,000 spirit stones. The Level One Vice President gets 80,000 spirit stones.
The Level Two branch presidents get 30,000 spirit stones, and the Vice President gets 20,000 spirit stones.
"As for the income of managers at all levels, it is related to the industries under their jurisdiction.
If they are in a riskier place, their income may exceed that of a Level Two branch president.
"For example, a Level Four Alchemist or Blacksmith's position and salary are not inferior to that of a Level One branch president and a Deputy Hall Master."
The Wan Chuan Chamber of Commerce relied on a large number of flying boats to communicate with all parts of Beiyuan Xiuxian.
The income from transporting the specialties of various places to other places was extremely high.
In addition to the various industries, the annual income was in the tens of billions. They didn't care about this small amount of money.
