Chapter 840: Chapter 373: Shifting Tides, Sea Domain Developnt (3)
Elder Yuan listened and nodded repeatedly, recalling the bustling scene at the recent recruitnt fair. Naturally, he understood that if it weren’t for the booming business of Jiushan Sect’s various factories, there wouldn’t be a need for so many disciples.
With Jiushan Sect’s factory output, other sects naturally have poorer business.
“So? Do they want to collaborate?”
Han Qi shook his head, saying, “No, it’s arranged by the Sect Leader.”
Elder Yuan was stunned, looking at Zheng Fa.
Zheng Fa explained, “With Comprehensive Records booming and a multitude of orders in the mall, it’s impossible for us to deliver to each cultivator individually. So I simply let those sects handle it.”
Jiushan Sect’s rapid technological advancents in cultivation naturally brought changes to the employnt market within the Hundred Immortals Alliance:
Put simply, many cultivators and sects in the Hundred Immortals Alliance without much technical expertise inevitably lost their livelihoods.
Thus, Zheng Fa decided to let them flexibly seek employnt, bridging the last five hundred miles, perfecting the logistics chain, and developing door-to-door delivery services.
Elder Yuan realized, “So it’s about bringing those sects closer?”
“That’s secondary; we really don’t have enough manpower,” Zheng Fa explained. “First, we give those sect cultivators so way to live, and second, we improve the mall system. Now, at least in the Hundred Immortals Alliance territory, half of the cultivators have Comprehensive Records… The other half don’t, mainly because they can’t buy it.”
Han Qi nodded, saying, “Comprehensive Records are too popular. Nowadays, not many people co to Jiushan Sect’s workshop, except to queue up to buy Comprehensive Records. So sects co to purchase various pill supplies in bulk and then take them back to sell themselves.”
Simply put, Jiushan Sect’s workshop is now more engaged in wholesale business. Loose cultivators do co, but most are families and sects coming for bulk purchases.
Currently, Jiushan Mall has taken over fifty percent of the retail business within the Hundred Immortals Alliance.
Elder Yuan finally understood, “No wonder those sects need to transform…”
Even Jiushan Market is like this, so the decline of other workshops is imaginable.
“Why only find a single force for those five hundred miles?”
Han Qi heard this, his expression sowhat puzzled but honestly explained, “Also the Sect Leader’s orders. Firstly, to try to give them so way to live, and secondly, to control the number of sects, letting so sects adapt to our strategic developnt.”
“What strategy?”
Zheng Fa answered, “Sea exploration.”
Elder Yuan rembered, “Sea Domain developnt?”
“Indeed, most of the late-coming forces don’t trust or have the closeness with our Jiushan Sect.”
Elder Yuan also understood what this ant:
Zheng Fa has provided the Hundred Immortals Alliance’s sects plenty of opportunities.
The first wave was naturally about the guild business.
The second wave involved mineral collaborations.
The third ti was assisting the Hundred Immortals Alliance’s convoys, delivering goods for them.
Regarding benefits, the early-cors in the first wave can comfortably earn patents, the second wave can continue to share the benefits from minerals, also essentially earning comfortably.
The third wave can still labor; given the mall’s scale, they also aren’t doing poorly. So smaller forces even enjoy more freedom and comfort than before.
Zheng Fa has presided over the Hundred Immortals Alliance for more than a decade, and those sects not yet integrated into the new Hundred Immortals Alliance system are either too foolish or simply don’t trust Jiushan Sect, perhaps even not aligned.
“So you want them to explore the Sea Domain?”
“The Hundred Immortals Alliance has limited resources and opportunities; being late ans being late,” Zheng Fa spoke directly in front of the three, “Now, they have to do sothing harder and riskier to find their place in the Hundred Immortals Alliance.”
“Regardless of how the Immortal Trapping Sword is, our ‘trade routes’ with Haori Mountain can no longer persist; to compensate for this loss, we can only head towards the Sea Domain.”
“After the Great Freedom Demon Ancestor’s slaughter, the population in the Sea Domain is sparse, and cultivators are even fewer. These sects go there to establish footholds for us and try trading with the West Continent, where the profits are larger than those from Haori Mountain trade routes.”
The Haori Mountain trade route was maintained due to Li Hao’s identity, but clearly, it can’t endure indefinitely.
In contrast, the vast sea, with rich resources, and East and West Continent trade present even more lucrative opportunities.
The Sea Domain developnt strategy is extrely important in Zheng Fa’s mind.
He is now consciously or unconsciously promoting migration of those Hundred Immortals Alliance sects to the Sea Domain, supplenting the island population, and paving the way for Jiushan Sect.
To those sects, the Sea Domain is naturally more dangerous than the Hundred Immortals Alliance’s forr territory, but once achievents are made, the rewards are high—many sects gritted their teeth and moved towards the Sea Domain.
“Master, currently, Master Pang and Junior Master Huang are both responsible for this area. I handed the convoy over to you, intending for you to oversee this matter.”
Zhang is responsible for internal affairs, while Elder Yuan’s responsibilities are more external.
On one hand, Zhang’s duties indeed involve a lot; she not only manages the university but also needs to preside over nurous research projects, thus is spread thin.
On the other hand, it’s also because Junior Master Huang and Master Pang are involved. Although Zhang has a higher status within the sect, these two are still elders, making it sotis challenging for Zhang to direct them.
Sending Elder Yuan is naturally simpler.
Simply put, easier to reprimand.
Elder Yuan slowly nodded, and asked, “What are those two doing?”
“Master Pang is in charge of Sea Domain investigations, while Junior Master Huang is mainly dividing territories among various sects, resolving their disputes.”
Junior Master Huang has presided over Jiushan Sect’s Law Enforcent Pavilion for many years, now utilized by Zheng Fa as a mobile courtroom to establish rules among those sects, preventing them from neglecting their duties and killing one another.
“Master, your main tasks are to support the two Junior Masters and promote the recent new research from the Agricultural College.”
