Exceeding the Mission
"That's roughly the population of Azure Cloud City. Next up is Langya Academy." Jiang Zhiqiu continued reporting the contents of the booklet. "Langya Academy currently has more than 2,700 students because you, Eldest Senior Brother, said that we should pay attention to the Enlightenment of Azure Cloud City."
Therefore, all school-age children in Azure Cloud City must go to school.
"At the Langya Academy, Dean Kong Shan felt there were too few instructors and inquired whether another batch could be transferred from the Langya Sacred Land."
According to Zhang Yang's original plan, only about twenty people from the Langya Sacred Land were to remain at the Langya Academy.
It's very tiring for just over twenty people to teach more than two thousand people.
Zhang Yang pondered for a moment and said, "Continue your report. We'll discuss the Langya Academy matter later."
Jiang Zhiqiu nodded, turned the page, and continued, "In five years, the total number of people who have checked in at the Azure Cloud Museum has exceeded one hundred million."
More than 3,000 people have checked in more than 500 times. Most of them are Rogue Cultivator, and a small number are ordinary people from the town.
There are even more people who have checked in more than 300 times.
Some of them frequently visited the Azure Cloud Ruins; according to statistics, they were suspected of coming specifically for the Azure Cloud Ruins.
Jiang Zhiqiu glanced at Zhang Yang and, seeing that Zhang Yang had no intention of stopping, continued his report, "The last thing to report is the financial situation of Azure Cloud City."
Over the past five years, Azure Cloud City's total fiscal revenue has been around 500 million Spirit Stone, while its total expenditure has been over 400 million, mainly for the expansion of Azure Cloud City.
Currently, Azure Cloud City has a fiscal surplus of approximately 50 million.
However, Azure Cloud City doesn't need to expand for the time being; the current focus is on improving the city's facilities, and it won't cost much more!
Jiang Zhiqiu finished her report and then sat down.
He did not report on Azure Cloud Publishing and Azure Cloud Tourism separately.
Because all of these things are reflected in the overall finances.
As for the Azure Cloud Guesthouse, it was not under his jurisdiction.
This is the entrance to the Upper and Lower Azure Cloud Sect, and Chunxiao has been in charge of receiving visitors.
Zhang Yang looked at Qingxu and asked with a smile, "Is there anything you need to summarize?"
Qingxu was taken aback for a moment, then said, "I just broke through to the Primordial Spirit Realm and was also responsible for researching Law Treasure. There's nothing to summarize about that, is there?"
"Alright!" Zhang Yang nodded, then looked at Zhang Changshan and the others, asking, "It's your turn next."
Zhang Changshan stood up and took out a summary report, "Currently, our Blue-Clad Army camp has a total of over 37,000 disciples, including 50 at the Nascent Soul Realm and over 1,700 at the Golden Core Realm, achieving our initial goal of a 10% Golden Core stage qualification rate!"
As for the fact that several thousand Blue-Clad Army were killed by the Vast Mountain Sect, he didn't need to report it.
This is definitely a huge loss.
After Zhang Changshan finished his report, Wang Baole stood up and said, "The Red-Clad Army camp has a total of over 47,000 disciples, including 65 at the Nascent Soul Realm and over 1,800 at the Golden Core Realm, achieving the set target of a 10% Golden Core attainment rate."
"The Yellow-Clad Army currently has over 18,000 disciples, including 270 Nascent Soul Realm and over 4,300 Golden Core Realm, achieving the established goal of a 10% Golden Core attainment rate," Liang Yi continued to report.
Everyone stared at Liang Yi in astonishment.
Because the Yellow-Clad Army was simply too powerful.
Zhang Changshan and Wang Baole were simply numerous.
Although Liang Yi's group was small, it was full of experts.
The number of experts in this group, excluding those at the Primordial Spirit Realm, is almost equal to the population of Azure Cloud City.
After the three people finished reporting, Zhang Yang smiled and nodded, "The number of disciples in the sect has exceeded 100,000."
Currently, in total, there are nearly four hundred people at the Nascent Soul Realm, nearly eight thousand at the Golden Core Realm, and around one hundred thousand at the Foundation Establishment Realm.
Because Azure Cloud City still has its City Guard, and there are still some people there.
"Master, are you satisfied with this number of disciples?" Zhang Yang asked Azure Cloud Master with a smile.
Azure Cloud Master smiled broadly and nodded repeatedly.
What could he possibly be dissatisfied with?
He originally thought that the Azure Cloud Sect was going to perish in his hands, but after a series of reforms by Zhang Yang, it had 100,000 disciples a few years later, of which the number of the Golden Core Realm exceeded the target, reaching nearly 10,000.
This level of strength is comparable to any other sect.
Of course, what the Azure Cloud Sect lacks most is actually experts.
Other sects, if you include all their resources, each has several Tribulation Realm, dozens of the Dao Integration Realm, and even more Nascent Primordial Spirit Realm.
The Azure Cloud Sect currently has only one true Tribulation Realm, six Dao Integration Realm, and even fewer Primordial Spirit Realm.
The difference is too great.
Zhang Yang glanced at everyone and said with a smile, "Next, I'll give a summary."
Regarding the economic and demographic aspects, everyone has already discussed them.
Next, I'll talk about diplomacy.
Currently, we have formed alliances with three major sects, among which the Langya Sacred Land is a close partner with whom we have established in-depth cooperation!
Although other sects in the world have not reached cooperation agreements with us, fifty-seven sects have established trade relations with us.
This includes sects such as the Myriad Spirits Sect and the One-Guard Monastery Temple.
Moreover, this number was the result of my deliberate manipulation; otherwise, more sects would have been willing to establish trade relations with us.
Our Azure Cloud Sect has completely turned the tide, transforming itself from an isolated sect into a sect that everyone admires.
This is all thanks to all of us.
It is thanks to the strength of our elders and the joint efforts of our fellow disciples that Azure Cloud Sect has achieved its current state.
Now that the first five-year plan has been exceeded, we will talk about the second five-year plan.
Zhang Yang's expression turned serious, and he slowly said, "In the first five years, we pursued opening up new prospects, we pursued breakthroughs in quantity, and we pursued the easing of various relationships."
But now we have a firm foothold.
No one dares to look down on us anymore; in fact, many are constantly trying to curry favor with us and establish trade relations with us.
Therefore, in the second five-year plan, we no longer need to pursue quantity, but rather quality.
We need to seek progress while maintaining stability in the current situation.
First, let's start by having our mentor set our goals for the next five years.
Azure Cloud Master panicked immediately.
He's only just broken through to the Mid Tribulation Realm, are they going to expect him to break through to the Late Tribulation Realm soon?
This... no one could do this!
"Master, your goal for these five years is to solidify your cultivation level," Zhang Yang said with a smile. "Besides solidifying your cultivation level, I also hope that Master can find a few opponents to demonstrate your combat power!"
Although Master, you are Mid Tribulation Realm, many people still don't have a clear understanding of this.
We need you, sir, to establish your reputation!
