Chapter 34 Token

The next morning, Shi Hongci brought someone over very early. Looking at his face every morning, I felt that he had not slept all night.

This young man has a rich night life.

Shi Hongci bowed respectfully to her and asked, "The master's residence has been cleaned. When will fellow Taoist...fellow Taoist prepare to move in?"

"Should I move in?" Zhuchen said, "I don't live in Yuyuan, I live in Chaowen."

Are you kidding, Feng Buye is a demon cultivator now, so she can live more comfortably on the edge of the demon world, otherwise why would she move here?

Wouldn't it be unnecessary to go to Yuyuan?

Shi Hongci and others were stunned: "Then... what should Yu Yuan do?"

Zhuchen thought for a while and said with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Shi, I see that you have a good character and that you are Senior Brother Yu Yuan, so you can convince everyone. How about you take over the position of head on your behalf and be responsible for managing all the affairs of the Yu Yuan Sect?"

"Me?" Shi Hongci pointed at himself and said in shock, "I can't do it!"

Although he is the eldest brother of the sect, he still has several elders above him. Even his master does not often let him take charge of the affairs. What's more, now that his magic weapon is gone, his cultivation may not be as good as other disciples in the sect.

Where can I have the face to take charge of my sect?

Zhuchen disapproved and waved his hand: "Why not? Elder Yu Yuan and the leader have run away now. You are the senior brother of the same generation, so you should be the one to take charge of the show. Aren't you the one who came to negotiate with me today? I

I don’t think there are many people in your sect who are as determined as you. If you can’t do it, who else can do it?”

Even in Pu Feng Sect, there are not many monks who dare to destroy their own magic weapon at such a young age.

Shi Hongci may seem a little aloof, but he is actually quite responsible. His character is also upright and he has no selfish intentions. He remains calm in the face of ups and downs, and can be said to be unfazed by favors and disgrace.

Shi Hongci was stunned by her praise and hurriedly said: "I'm scared!"

The several monks Yu Yuan standing behind him could not hide their astonishment, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that there was really no more suitable candidate than him.

"I'm not familiar with you monks from Yu Yuan, so I definitely need to find someone to take care of it. After picking and choosing, I think you are the most suitable." Zhuchen said, "If you are afraid that it will be difficult to convince others, what's the point?

Aren't you learning the sword cultivation method from my master? I dare not say too much, just three months, if you practice it with concentration for three months, you will definitely become the most powerful sword cultivator in Yu Yuan Sect!"

Shi Hongci raised his head, with a little astonishment on his face, but then he felt that a disciple of Pu Fengzong should have such pride.

They were already the best among the sword cultivators in the world, so they probably wouldn't take Yu Yuan's skills to heart. And they themselves were among the most talented among Yu Yuan, so it was natural for them to stand out with a little guidance.

When she said this, Shi Hongci's originally anxious heart calmed down. He cupped his fists and said, "In this case, I won't shirk it anymore."

Zhuchen was happy, rolled up his sleeves and said: "Come here, I will give you a token, and you will be the person in charge of Yu Yuancheng from now on. If anyone has any objections, I don't mind if you ask them to come to me, or go beyond the hierarchy to find my master."

Shi Hongci was very nervous when he heard this, but also vaguely expected.

The original token of Yu Yuanzong's leader was a piece of spiritual jade, which could withstand a blow in times of crisis, and could also be used to replenish spiritual power and heal wounds.

Pu Feng Sect is the best sect in the world, so it must have more treasures.

Could it be that the token that Taoist friend Zhuchen wants to give him is also a magic weapon?

The monks who were accompanying him were all envious, thinking that he had got a great opportunity. However, things like opportunities are determined by fate, and it was useless for them to be jealous. They could only secretly make up their minds to perform well in the future, and maybe they would get it.

An opportunity for immortal guidance.

Everyone was looking forward to Zhuchen's token, and saw Zhuchen looking around, running to the corner, and carefully digging out a regular-shaped piece of wood from the discarded wood.

She found a brightly lit place, used the Hanxu Sword to flatten the four corners, and then carefully carved a few large characters on it.

Metal was very expensive in this era, and she didn't have the tools to make iron, so she could only chip wood into flowers instead.

The romance of slum girls.

Not long after, the wooden sign was completed. Zhuchen looked at the finished product, nodded, and solemnly handed it to Shi Hongci in front of all the monks, saying: "If you see this sign, it will be like the master is here in person.

"

Shi Hongci: "..."

His hand that took the wooden sign was trembling, and he even wanted to slap himself.

What are you thinking about? You have lived in Chaowen for more than half a month. Don't you know how poor this place is?

The monks suddenly felt less envious. The flowers were flowers, but they were not fragrant at all.

Zhuchen gave Shi Hongci the first task: "Since we are all our own people now, then everyone has a share in the city's construction. You can arrange a shift for Yu Yuan's monks first. We will take a day off and three days off.

According to the work system, monks in the ordinary sect have to come here one day out of every four days to help build various buildings. The rest of the time, whether they want to practice or play, they can make their own arrangements, I will not force you."

It took a lot of effort for Shi Hongci to understand what she meant: "One day off and three days off?"

Zhuchen nodded: "Yes, Chaowen is short of manpower now, so you guys have to work harder for the time being. When the city is under construction in the future, everyone can take turns to take longer breaks."

Is this hard work?!

The monks almost thought they were hallucinating.

They are not idle all day long in Yuyuan. What ordinary people can provide is only manpower, food, etc., and are responsible for the daily maintenance of the city. However, the materials needed for cultivation, such as elixirs and spiritual stones, can only be searched for by the sect themselves.

Therefore, Yu Yuan would often assign them to kill monsters or perform escort tasks. Not to mention the danger, the rewards were also very rare. Disciples within the sect were not allowed to refuse without any reason.

Compared with this, building a house... doesn't seem like a serious job.

Zhuchen paused and said sheepishly: "Oh, by the way, everyone knows that Chaowen is in a bit of a difficult situation right now, so everyone is not paid for their work. However, we will keep an account of all working hours, so we won't offend everyone. Of course.

If you need it, I can settle the bill with you in copper coins."

The monks nodded, not feeling surprised.

Chaowen's difficulties are written all over her forehead. Maybe they are all richer than the leader...

It’s better not to say this out loud.

Shi Hongci said: "...there is no need for copper coins. No matter how arranged you are by fellow Taoists, these are just a piece of cake."

Monks do not lack copper coins, they only lack spiritual stones. Spiritual stones are the hard currency among monks.

Zhuchen also knew this, so he nodded and said nothing more.

She gave some more instructions, such as asking Shi Hongci to select a few trustworthy people to help take care of the daily affairs of the people in the city. She made a few requests and carried out small reforms.

For example, redundant taxes should be reduced or reduced to prevent anyone from using arbitrary pretexts to impose exorbitant taxes. In addition, the annual free labor service should also be cancelled. If the people of Yu Yuan want to come to Chaowen to work, she can pay them normal wages, which is very welcome.

Also remember to report Yu Yuan’s situation to her regularly on weekdays, and go deep into the grassroots to communicate with the masses.

If Zhang Shiwen had not insisted on following her and refused to return to Yuyuan, Zhuchen actually wanted to push Zhang Shiwen to become the village chief.

What a good candidate, he looks like a leader at first glance. He has been influenced by her, understands the work process, and works quickly and refreshingly. No matter how you look at it, she is satisfied.

It's a pity that this leadership team is too crazy and clingy, so there is nothing we can do.

Shi Hongci listened to her story, nodded her head one by one, and took out a pen and paper to write down carefully.

After chatting with Zhuchen for a day, he found that this immortal king was very familiar with urban management. He was not only clear-cut, but also advanced and retreated in a measured manner. The policies he mentioned were all insightful and hit the mark. The most important thing was that he was generous in helping everyone and was approachable.

.Different from those who talk too much, he really has a benevolent heart to help the world.

It was only then that he discovered that Yu Yuancheng was already suffering from serious illnesses, and even if there was no news from the court, it would be difficult for the people to persevere.

No wonder some people would rather die than leave Yu Yuan, weeping and complaining about the hardships of the world.

He remembered that he had once resented Zhuchen, thinking that she was too harsh and cruel when punishing the monks, and he couldn't help but feel ashamed.

After all, he was just trying to be content, and he was too narrow-minded.

"Alas..." Shi Hongci sighed softly and bowed to Zhuchen with admiration, "Thank you fellow Taoist for your advice. Shi has benefited a lot."

Zhuchen: "..." You people are all weird, and your ears can't keep up with your fickle minds.

Shi Hongci's main workplace was in Yuyuan and he was responsible for the work there. However, the monks assigned to Chaowen had no one to manage them, so Zhuchen went to find Zhao Gutai.

Anyway, Zhao Gutai heard that there was a wind here and stayed here all day long. Zhao Gutai didn't have to worry about anyone being disobedient, so he immediately agreed. According to her request, he arranged a work list and arranged the labor in the appropriate position.

On the first day after recruiting Yu Yuan, Zhuchen was busy appointing and training management.

Before going to bed, she went to stroke her hair. When she lay on the bed, she was still thinking about whether there was anything she had missed. Her eyelids became heavy at the thought, and she kept thinking about this problem in her sleep.

...it’s really hard to be a leader.

The next morning, she was woken up by a sound of hushed voices. There were rustling noises and light footsteps outside, and it was clear that there were many people.

Zhuchen immediately put on his clothes and walked out of the house.

I saw hundreds of people wearing short shirts and straw sandals, carrying hoes or shovels, gathering in the open space in front of Chaowen.

The soft sunshine of the early morning shone on their faces, as if covered with a layer of pale golden light.

At first glance, it is quite spectacular.

Zhuchen rubbed his eyes and asked, "What are you doing here? Who are you?"

When everyone saw her appearance, they laughed heartily, straightened their posture, clasped their fists at her and said:

"We are all Yuyuan people, and we are here to help the city lord repair his house today!"

"City Lord, we don't charge money!"

"We all brought food ourselves, the city lord doesn't have to worry about us!"

"How can the city lord's house be worse than ours? Don't worry, we are all familiar with this job! You can rest nearby!"

A deep voice shouted in the middle of the crowd: "Thank you City Lord for taking care of me, Yu Yuan!"
