Zhou Luan looked indignant. "Before you came here, Zhang Dingming had been thinking of ways to make me a mere figurehead.
After you came, he restrained himself a bit.
Now that we have the chance, we have to let him know how powerful I am as the Shadow Master. How should we deal with him next? "
"Let's not do anything for now. If we want to completely control Blood Shadow, we have to ensure that there isn't any serious internal strife.
The Zhang Clan and the Xu Clan have tens of thousands of years of foundation. They have people in all of Blood Shadow, from the headquarters to the various branches, and even some of the scattered spies.
Most of the Hall Masters were also promoted by them.
In the middle and lower levels, the two clans probably have more than eighty percent of their power.
The Xu Clan took the initiative to admit defeat. As long as we win over Xu Qinghe and the others, we can borrow the Xu Clan's power.
The Zhang Clan's power is only stronger than the Xu Clan's. If we really fight head on, we'll also suffer great losses if we take down the Zhang Clan.
Moreover, the Zhang Clan's power will be completely gone, and Blood Shadow's intelligence network will also be cut in half.
It'll probably take a few hundred years to recover. "
Zhou Luan was still a bit angry. "I really want to get rid of the Zhang Clan immediately."
She was a fire-attribute cultivator, and most fire-attribute cultivators were rather impatient.
Even Wang Mingchen was like this when he was young. Later, under Wang Shouye's personal guidance, his personality gradually became steady.
In addition, she was a bit narrow-minded to begin with, so her impatience was even more obvious.
"Lord Shadow Master, please calm down. Haste makes waste. Let's wait patiently.
We'll slowly cut off the Zhang Clan's henchmen and divide their power. It won't be too late to deal with the Zhang Clan then. "
Zhou Luan took out the command medallion and looked at it. "The Dao Slip sent a letter asking about the arrangements for the Linhai and Falling Star branches.
These places are our Wang Clan's territory. Their power is relatively simple, and they're mostly lone cultivators.
Relying on assassinations to earn spirit stones is definitely unreliable. "
The main purpose of Blood Shadow's various branches was to gather information.
Apart from occupying special industries, they didn't need to hand over information to the headquarters.
Of course, if they could hand over some natural treasures, they could also receive a lot of rewards.
The headquarters controlled the branches mainly by appointing and dishing out Hall Masters, as well as inheritance of cultivation techniques and all kinds of treasures.
As for the day-to-day operations of the branches, the headquarters couldn't control them.
The things that the branch obtained from the headquarters also required contribution points. These contribution points had to be exchanged with information and treasures.
This included the Yin Yang Purple Jade that was given every hundred years, which was actually exchanged with contribution points.
In addition, there were also various missions assigned by the headquarters, which could also earn contribution points.
Now in the Yan Kingdom, both the black and white sides were controlled by the Yan Kingdom's imperial court.
Assassination missions could only be carried out with the approval of the imperial court, and the income in this area was greatly reduced.
Now, the Shanbei and Qingli branches were supported by the spirit stones provided by the Yan Kingdom.
However, these branches did not belong to the Yan Kingdom in name. The dominance of these branches became a conflict between the Yan Kingdom and Blood Shadow.
If this situation continued, it would be the Yan Kingdom spending money to help Blood Shadow raise the branch.
On the Blood Shadow's side, some of the elders were unhappy that their own branch didn't listen to them and instead listened to the Yan Kingdom.
As time passed, it would lead to a bigger conflict and even affect the relationship between the Yan Kingdom and Blood Shadow.
Wang Daoyuan pondered for a long time before saying, "Actually, I've had some ideas for a long time. It's just that I didn't control many branches in the past, so there's no need to play any tricks.
Now, there will be four branches, and there may be more in the future. Then, I can perfect my previous idea.
I plan to set up a chamber of commerce in the name of the Yan Kingdom.
This chamber of commerce will be in charge of many industries.
Different industries will play different roles.
Some will be in charge of raw material production, some will be in charge of transportation, and some will be in charge of trading.
The various industries will be managed by the chamber of commerce. Doing business is much better than doing it alone.
Moreover, doing business in the name of the chamber of commerce was actually a form of expansion, and it would not be ostracized by the local forces.
Blood Shadow branches would open a few shops, and these shops would join the chamber of commerce.
The income from the chamber of commerce would be used to maintain the operations of the various branches.
The imperial court would not contact Blood Shadow directly, which could also avoid a lot of trouble.
If the chamber of commerce could expand, it could expand to the surrounding areas and swallow up the other branches of Blood Shadow.
Moreover, the various industries of the family and the imperial court could be placed under the chamber of commerce.
The upper management of the chamber of commerce could be held by people from the Yan Kingdom's finance palace.
If they expanded in the name of the Yan Kingdom, it would give the other forces the impression that the Yan Kingdom was bullying the weak.
If they expanded in the name of the chamber of commerce, they would only be doing business, and there would be no intention of invading.
After the family disciples completely control Blood Shadow, they would swallow up the entire headquarters and make Blood Shadow a part of the chamber of commerce. "
Zhou Luan nodded, "It is very suitable for the Yan Kingdom and Blood Shadow to merge in this way.
However, how will the headquarters of Blood Shadow be fooled in this way?
Some of the elders are very stubborn, and they are worried that Blood Shadow will become a subsidiary of our Wang Family.
Otherwise, many non-direct elders would not object to my suggestion of changing some of the rules. "
Wang Daoyuan smiled, "This is not difficult. The various branches of Blood Shadow have the right to operate industries.
It can be said that the Yan Kingdom's imperial court and Blood Shadow Mountain's northern branch are cooperating. There is no need to set up a chamber of commerce in one go.
We can set up the chamber of commerce in the name of the chamber of commerce first, and only have a few shops under it.
At the root of it, it is the same as a branch opening a shop.
Do the branches of Blood Shadow still need the approval of the headquarters to operate the shops? "
"You are so cunning. Indeed, we can bypass the headquarters and set up the chamber of commerce first.
We can also use the business of the chamber of commerce to gradually control the other branches and eliminate the henchmen of the Zhang Family.
Oh right, what should we name the chamber of commerce? "
"The name of the chamber of commerce must be grand. Jade Spring Chamber of Commerce, Clear Glass Chamber of Commerce, and so on are too small.
In the future, when the chamber of commerce expands to other countries, it will be easy to be rejected.
Let's call it Wan Chuan Chamber of Commerce. The territories of all the countries in Beiyuan Xiuxian are in the Wan Chuan River basin. No matter where we do business, we will not be rejected.
There is no need to be too detailed for now. When Ming Ren and Ming Xian are ten years old, I will bring them back to Jade Spring Peak to acknowledge their ancestors.
At that time, I will discuss with Ming Chen and the others how to refine the structure of the chamber of commerce. "
Zhou Luan nodded and took out the Shadow Master's token to send a message to Wang Daojian.
In just four to six hours, Wang Daojian, who was in Clear Glass City, received the message.
After taking a look, he hurriedly ran to the imperial palace and reported to Wang Mingchen.
When he saw Wang Mingchen, he took out a jade scroll: "Your Majesty, the Retired Emperor sent a message about the Blood Shadow Division.
This involves the imperial court, so I do not dare to make decisions on my own.
This is the content of the Empress Dowager's top-secret message. I have copied it down for Your Majesty to take a look. "
Wang Mingchen took a look: "Imperial Father's idea is not bad. The imperial court and the Blood Shadow Mountain's North Branch Hall will cooperate to establish a chamber of commerce.
This way, we can avoid the conflict between the Yan Kingdom and the Blood Shadow Division.
In the future, when we become bigger, we can continue to expand to other places.
It just so happens that our Yan Kingdom has too many resources and insufficient population.
We can also sell all kinds of resources to other places through the chamber of commerce.
Since it is Imperial Father's idea, we will do as he says.
We have to find Ming Zhi and Ming Kang to handle this matter. They are in charge of the Treasury Hall. The Treasury Hall will be in charge of all matters related to business and finances.
Men, invite the Treasury Hall Master and Deputy Hall Master over for a discussion. "
A young clan member in armor bowed and said yes, then walked out.
Holding a position by Wang Mingchen's side, he could come into contact with all kinds of secrets of the Wang Family.
Especially this kind of personal bodyguard, it was naturally not a position that an ordinary person could take on.
This person was Wang Daochang's grandson, the Wang Family's second heavenly spirit root cultivator, Wang Delin.
