Chapter 334 Why be afraid
After thinking for a while, Qimanguli said directly: "But I feel that the method you mentioned is not so reliable. You just said that those wealthy and powerful families did not contact the royal family at the first time because they did not want to be controlled by talents."
"If that's the case, then why would they be willing to come and cooperate with us? I guess, at most they want to buy training resources, weapons, protective equipment, and elixirs from us, right?"
"Even if we refuse to trade with them, I don't think they will compromise in the short term. Those wealthy and powerful families are almost as wealthy as a country. With time, they will sooner or later get the training resources, weapons, protective equipment, and elixirs they want."
Qimanguli knew that even if her side and the royal family of the Ming Empire were determined not to trade cultivation resources, weapons, protective equipment, and elixirs with those big families, they must have a way to get these things.
The easiest way is to buy it from the students of the Monks' Academy and the disciples of the Shanhai Pavilion.
No matter how strictly Shanhai Pavilion and the imperial family of the Ming Empire controlled them, they could never control all the students and disciples. As long as the benefits were sufficient, there would definitely be people who would take risks and sell the allocated training resources, weapons, protective equipment, and elixirs to those big families.
At this time, Wang Lang spoke with a smile.
"Haha, this is easy. All we have to do is pull those big families onto our chariot. By then, we will all prosper together and suffer together. They will definitely rush to send those talented people in their families to our Shanhai Pavilion."
"And in the future they will definitely try their best to help our Shanhai Pavilion recruit more disciples with high-quality talents and qualifications."
"Pull them to our chariot and let them work for us. Tell me how to do it."
At this time, Qimanguli had already thought of a possibility in her mind. However, she felt that it was not a good idea to do so, because if she did not handle it well, it was very likely that the cuckoo would occupy the magpie's nest.
Without any hesitation, Wang Lang spoke directly.
"This is simple. I think you must have thought of it by now. That is to select a few powerful families and directly bring them into our Shanhai Pavilion."
"We have several elders under the head and deputy head of Shanhai Pavilion. These elders will be from powerful families. In this way, Shanhai Pavilion not only belongs to us, but also to those big families. How could they not work hard for our Shanhai Pavilion?"
"Wait, are you sure there won't be any problems if you do this?"
After a slight pause, Qimanguli spoke.
"Find a few powerful families and bring them into our Shanhai Pavilion. Letting them become elders and jointly develop Shanhai Pavilion will indeed have many benefits. The simplest benefit is that there will be more people who can get things done. As long as we bring in a few big families, then in a very short time, our Shanhai Pavilion and the Shanhai Monks Guild will flourish."
"But the biggest problem here is that it's easy to invite gods, but difficult to send them away. Now in the Ming Empire, apart from the royal family, the most famous families are the two Ma, the Zhao, the Li, and the Wang. These five families are all rich enough to rival a country. They can take over both the political and business circles, and the underworld. It's not an exaggeration to say that they can compete with the royal family."
"Bringing them into our Shanhai Pavilion can indeed make our Shanhai Pavilion develop rapidly and reach the peak in a short period of time. But aren't you afraid that they will take over our place in the future?"
After listening to Qimanguli, Wang Lang spoke directly.
"Hahaha, afraid, why should we be afraid?"
"Now this world has entered the world of cultivators. In the world of cultivators, what is important is not money or power. Instead, it is cultivation resources, weapons, protective equipment, elixirs, and powerful exotic beast companions."
"As long as we have these things in our own hands, we won't be afraid of anyone messing around. If the big families that cooperate with us and become members of the Shanhai Pavilion Elders' Council cooperate well, we will take them to eat and drink. If they want to mess around, we can kick them out at any time. It won't be difficult to even destroy them directly."
After a slight pause, Wang Lang continued speaking.
"Besides, when we are looking for partners, we can also do a good job of investigation. We don't have to look for those families that are close to each other, but specifically look for those families that have grudges and dislike each other. If there are those feuds that will never end, that would be the best. We can bring these families in and let them compete with each other."
"Also, let's get some outer sect elders. We can find those smaller families to cooperate with and let them become outer sect elders to manage the many outer sect disciples in different regions. We are supporting them. If they want their families to develop better, they must be of one mind with us."
"Of course, if there are some particularly outstanding outer disciples among those we recruit, we can also focus on training them and let them become outer sect elders in the future."
At this time, Wang Lang turned Qimanguli's body over and let her nestle in his arms face to face. Then he continued to speak.
"Whether they are from a big family or ordinary disciples, as long as they want to become powerful cultivators and live a better life, they must rely on others and depend on us."
"Because we have endless training resources, weapons, protective equipment, and elixirs, there is no need to worry too much."
After listening to Wang Lang, Qimanguli spoke directly.
"Okay, I'll listen to you. It would be great to get some big and small families to cooperate. At least we can have someone to help build the Shanhai Pavilion and the Shanhai Monks Guild, and I can relax a little bit."
"If we can get these big and small families on board, we can definitely compete with the royal family without having to worry about them suppressing us all the time."
After saying this, Qimanguli stopped.
She knew that she would not be able to rest for some time to come, and she had to think carefully about which families to attract to join the Shanhai Pavilion.
The two of them just hugged each other face to face, and no one spoke.
After about five or six minutes, Qimanguli reached out and poked Wang Lang in the chest, then said, "Put your things away. You're making me feel uncomfortable."
"Ha ha……"
Upon hearing this, Wang Lang laughed out loud, but it was more of a bitter smile.
"You can't blame me for this. You are so beautiful, have such a good figure, and are so attractive. I really can't stand it now. How about you help me?"
"Bah, bah, bah, shameless."
Having said that, Qimanguli turned over, turned her back to Wang Lang and ignored him.
