Chapter 109 The Commercial Development of the Spirit Hall
"Teacher, what happened?"
At this moment, Ye Qifeng raised his head and looked at Bibi Dong, who sat gracefully and elegantly on the papal throne, and asked a question.
"Mm." Bibi Dong nodded slightly.
While using her soul power to support the memorial in her hand, she floated down from the high platform and handed it to Ye Qifeng, saying softly to him:
"Xiao Feng, take a look."
Bibi Dong knew that her little disciple was well-read, intelligent, and full of ideas, so she would often give her some good suggestions, hoping to bring her some surprises.
Throughout the year, there were several times when I encountered difficulties in handling government affairs and couldn't think of a solution, and Xiao Feng helped me come up with ideas.
Whenever I feel lost, I always find myself thinking of him.
This time is no exception.
Ye Qifeng took the memorial, casually opened it, and began to read it.
"The two great empires have cut off one-third of the Soul Masters' monthly contributions?"
A moment later, Ye Qifeng looked up in surprise, his sword-like eyebrows furrowing slightly.
But he quickly figured out why the two empires had done such a thing.
It seems that the two great empires, Heaven Dou and Star Luo, have become increasingly wary of the Spirit Hall.
After all, three years ago, even the incomparably powerful Haotian Sect was forced to close its gates by the Spirit Hall and retreat into the depths of the snowy mountains, avoiding the world.
After the Spirit Hall won the war against the Clear Sky Sect.
The following three years were the peak of its prestige, unmatched by any other force. More and more commoner soul masters chose to join the Spirit Hall, and its development was almost unstoppable.
The two great empires had no reason not to be wary.
Therefore, the two great empires reduced the monthly payment of Soul Masters by one-third in an attempt to damage the reputation of the Spirit Hall.
The Spirit Hall, however, had to find its own way to fill the funding gap, which further exacerbated its already strained finances.
So the financial situation is now worrying?
After being named the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, Ye Qifeng naturally did not do nothing throughout the year.
Now that we've chosen to stand on the side of the Spirit Hall, we cannot allow it to be destroyed.
To protect the Spirit Hall, he also needed to make some preparations and gain a deeper understanding of it.
As the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, Ye Qifeng possessed the authority of a Holy Son, which provided him with great convenience, allowing him to learn a great deal of top-secret information about the Spirit Hall.
This includes the Spirit Hall's operating model, its military strength, financial and economic situation, and so on.
In addition, Ye Qifeng, as Pope Bibi Dong's "pillow mate," serves as her human body pillow almost every night.
The presence of Ye Qifeng gave Bibi Dong an unprecedented sense of security, providing her with a place to entrust her heart.
Bibi Dong is no longer the cold and ruthless person she used to be; she no longer chooses to suppress everything and keep it all inside.
When she encounters a difficult problem or feels unhappy, she occasionally grumbles to Ye Qifeng.
Of course, whenever Bibi Dong looked worried about government affairs, Ye Qifeng would take the initiative to inquire, discuss it with her, and offer his own suggestions to try to help solve the problem.
After all, Ye Qifeng had read so many books in the Spirit Hall's archives, and he could provide many good solutions and methods.
Therefore, Ye Qifeng learned a lot about the difficulties faced by the Spirit Hall from Bibi Dong, including the Spirit Hall's financial problems.
At this moment, Bibi Dong's clear and melodious voice came from above the high platform and reached Ye Qifeng's ears:
"Xiao Feng, do you have a way to solve the Spirit Hall's financial problems?"
Bibi Dong gazed at her beloved disciple, her pale purple eyes filled with anticipation.
Although she was exceptionally talented and intelligent, she was not perfect in every aspect.
For example, financial issues are precisely her weakness.
Ye Qifeng pondered for a moment, then nodded and said:
"Yes, there are, but it depends on the teacher's courage."
Ye Qifeng understood that the conflict between the Spirit Hall and the two great empires was bound to erupt eventually. The Spirit Hall could not be held back by financial problems; the economic issues still needed to be addressed and resolved.
Bibi Dong's ambition to unify the entire Douluo Continent is inevitable.
"What method?"
Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong's eyes lit up, and she looked very expectant.
Ye Qifeng composed himself and said:
"The solution is to develop commerce and take the commercial route."
"Develop business?"
Bibi Dong became interested. What Ye Qifeng said coincided with her own thoughts, but they had been shelved due to some obstacles.
Yue Guan and Gui Mei, who were standing to the side, also cast interested glances.
Ye Qifeng gave a soft "hmm" and nodded, saying:
"The essence of commerce is actually an exchange of interests. Commercial development is conducive to promoting the liberation and development of productivity of the Spirit Hall, fully mobilizing the resources controlled by the Spirit Hall, transforming them into goods or services and exchanging them, and then obtaining wealth to satisfy its own needs."
The concepts Ye Qifeng spoke of were somewhat vague, and Bibi Dong didn't quite understand them. She felt a bit shocked, but she could still guess the general meaning.
She paused for a moment, then voiced her concerns:
"Xiao Feng, your teacher has also considered promoting commercial development in the Spirit Hall. However, the Spirit Hall is ultimately just a pure spirit master organization. Spirit masters themselves do not engage in production, so the value they can generate is limited."
"Moreover, Soul Masters are also busy with cultivation, and almost all of their time is spent on improving their Soul Power level."
"Furthermore, in the Douluo Continent, Soul Masters have a high status, while merchants have a very low status. As a result, there are very few people who are willing to focus their attention on business development."
"Therefore, it will be very difficult to develop and promote business within the Spirit Hall, and the results may not be very good."
Ye Qifeng shook his head slightly and said:
"Teacher, you've fallen into a misconception."
"Oh? How so?"
Bibi Dong's pale purple eyes shimmered like autumn water as she gazed intently at Ye Qifeng.
After thinking for a while, Ye Qifeng explained:
"First, we need to break free from mental constraints, think more comprehensively, and have a longer-term vision."
"The development of commerce should not be limited to the Soul Master group, but should cover all groups, including all commoners, nobles and the royal families of the two empires."
"Let's start with the Soul Master group. As the most prestigious profession on the continent, Soul Masters belong to the wealthy class. Currently, the Spirit Hall's revenue comes from this group."
"However, besides being used in combat, martial spirits can also be used to assist in production and daily life."
"For example, some special martial souls have no combat power themselves, but they have some special abilities. Some martial souls can perfectly disassemble and restore various objects, making them suitable for forging; some martial souls are naturally compatible with plants, making them suitable for cultivating medicinal plants; some have the ability to fly, making them suitable for quickly transmitting messages and transporting goods, and so on."
"Soul Masters who possess these Martial Souls actually have great added value and are talents needed for business development."
"Currently, these types of Soul Masters are not valued and have a low status because they lack combat power."
"These Soul Masters are exactly the kind of talent that the Spirit Hall lacks and desperately needs. As long as the Spirit Hall extends an olive branch to them and promises to improve their social status, many people will surely be willing to join the Spirit Hall and help its business development."
