Many people have a wish when they were young, that is, when they grow up, they will go to the world with swords!
Traveling around the world with a sword can not only be a hero with indomitable spirit, but also win back beautiful women and eat and drink casually. For example, Xiao Feng, walking in the rivers and lakes, is a fat chicken, two pounds of beef and ten pounds of white wine when you arrive at the hotel; When Ling Huchong was regarded as Ren Woxing's confined Mei Zhuang, both black and white children wanted to learn? Star-sucking solution? And please Ling Huchong, every day to give him a fat chicken, three jins of wine. When I grow up, I understand that eating and drinking costs money, and these heroes usually wander in the rivers and lakes. They don't farm, don't work, don't do business, and the most important thing is that they are not rich second generation and eat and drink at will. Where did the money come from?
Most of these characters in Jin Yong's works have their own sects, gangs or sects. For example, Qiao Feng Shaolin disciple and Beggars' Sect leader, many Shaolin disciples and bard disciples were finally promoted to Wang, and Zhang Wuji Wudang disciple and Zoroastrianism Wang, etc., there are few knights who are self-taught.
The relationship between apprentice and master is not only the relationship between apprentice and master, but also the relationship between service and being served. The master taught the apprentice martial arts, and the apprentice was loyal to the master after learning martial arts. When disciples go down the mountain to perform tasks, our disciples will send some travelling expenses, which is an important source of property for many Jianghu people, especially some supporting roles in books.
The expenditure of sects also needs a huge sum of money. If there is no source of income, certainly not. Therefore, all sects will have an important financial income, similar to the protection fees given by rich people everywhere.
However, sects with slightly higher influence in the Jianghu will basically have such a large income. There are many rich people in Wulin, such as Lin Zhennan of the legendary swordsman Fu Wei Escort Agency and Wang Yuanba of Luoyang Golden Knife. In order to ensure the smooth business, they send a large sum of money to influential sects every year. For example, Lin Zhennan sends twelve thousand pieces of silver to Yu Canghai, the head of Qingcheng School, every year, but Yu Canghai doesn't necessarily accept it. The reason is that Qingcheng School belongs to a noble family and has a great influence. There are more people in the Jianghu who have higher status than Nana, and they also give more gifts than him. Qingcheng Sect can only be regarded as a third-rate sect in the legendary swordsman, so you can imagine how many gentry want to curry favor with wuyue Sword Sect.
Of course, the purpose of the gentry is also obvious, that is, I hope these sects can safeguard their own interests when necessary. After all, doing business requires freight, and freight is easy to encounter bandits who rob the road. In order to do business safely, we need to find a strong backer. And many respectable and decent people in the Jianghu can contribute to provide them with the necessary protection.
Moreover, once the influence of sects reaches a certain height, some people are afraid to curry favor with them. Lin Zhennan only dares to give gifts to Qingcheng School, but not to Emei School. Yue Buqun and Huashan disciples passed by Luoyang Golden Knife King. When Wang Yuanba learned that Yue Buqun, the head of Huashan Mountain, could come to his home, he felt it was a blessing in his last life. So whenever Huashan disciples each gave a gift of fifty taels of silver, Yue Buqun and others sent a sum of money when they left.
According to Minister Xu Chong, the status of Qingcheng School and Huashan School in Jianghu at that time was only second-rate and third-rate, while there were countless gentry like Lin Zhennan and King Jin Daowang in Jianghu, so the second-rate and third-rate schools had similar large income every year, and of course there were more first-rate.

Not only that, there are many sects in Jin Yong's works. Since it is a Sect, there must be many believers and pilgrims who come to donate and fulfill their promises every day. The sesame oil money donated by pilgrims is also a big expense!
Needless to say, Shaolin, Wudang and Quanzhen are all famous Buddhist temples and Taoist temples. Every day, pilgrims gather here, and not only Jianghu people, ordinary people and dignitaries will come here to donate money. Other sects, such as Huashan Sect, Taishan Sect, Beiyue Hengshan Sect and Emei Sect, are Buddhists, and pilgrims donate a lot of sesame oil every day. These two incomes alone are enough for these sects to survive in the world.
In addition, some sects will also accept some rich second generation as apprentices. For example, Ji's father, a disciple of Emei Sect, is a darter in "Eternal Dragon Slayer", and the big disciple of Huashan Sect in "Sword stained with royal blood" is a businessman with his own business. Just like Ji, her father will definitely give Emei a lot of money every year.
Besides, the Beggars' Sect, known as the largest sect in the world, can be divided into the clean-clothed Sect and the dirty-clothed Sect from the time of carving and shooting, and the clean-clothed Sect itself is composed of a group of chivalrous men and some rich people with a long reputation in the Jianghu. Also in the Duke of Lushan, the Aoki Hall of Heaven and Earth Society has Wei Xiaobao as the rich incense owner, not to mention the problem of funds. These people will continue to fund their sects.
With these incomes, various sects will also run their own industries. For example, Shaolin, Wudang, Emei, Kunlun and Huashan are mostly in the mountains. Since it is in the mountains, there must be a lot of wasteland around. Disciples of various sects also go to various places after practicing martial arts, and they also reap their own industries. Schools such as Shaolin and Wudang obviously mention that they have grain fields and industries, and self-sufficiency is not a problem.

Besides, the extra money after the chivalrous man goes out. In fact, there are many ways for chivalrous people to earn extra money.
Many Jianghu people have family background and like to make friends. For example, Zhou Zhongying, the owner of Tiedan Village, Anqiu Road, central Sichuan, can get 60 taels of silver as long as friends from Jianghu come to his village. When Wen Tai, the lightning messenger, was injured and came to vote, Zhou Zhongying was absent, and the housekeeper in Tiedan Village gave him sixty taels of silver. Zhang Wuji, Xie Xun and Zhou Zhiruo dressed as beggars and ate in a restaurant. Because the boss regarded them as beggars' disciples, Zhang Wuji not only took nothing after eating, but also gave three extra horses for three people to ride. Of course, this is actually a serious lack of discipline of beggars. The local people are afraid of being harassed by beggars, so they have to please them.
In addition, chivalrous men rob the rich and help the poor at the same time, such as "Sword Book Love and Hate". Handsome Li Kui jy? Qi zhou was separated from others at the Yellow River ferry, and then Xu Tianhong was injured and infected. Qi zhou put him in the old woman's house to recuperate and went to the city to find a doctor himself. When she met a corrupt official on the road, she solved the corrupt official and took five ingots of gold from the corrupt official. After Xu Tianhong recovered, qi zhou left an ingot of gold to the old woman, and the remaining four ingots were left by herself.
Of course, the so-called extra money is sometimes some hard money, that is, to get some money by hunting and digging herbs. For example, Xiao Feng once went to Changbai Mountain to dig ginseng to save A Zi, Zhang Wuji and Zhao Min hunted deer while looking for the Golden Lion King, Huang Rong and catch the pheasant, Guo Jing. It is estimated that Jianghu people will earn some extra money by hunting and digging ginseng when money is tight.
Of course, all these ways exist. People who work in Jianghu must ensure their own survival. Gangs are also for keeping warm, sects are for offering incense, and sects are also for teaching disciples. There may be various sources of funds, but they are away from home, but there is no emergency travel expenses. I believe that robbing the rich to help the poor may still be the most direct and effective way.
Insist on originality, I am the third child who is loyal to the liver and righteous bravery, welcome to pay attention!
