Hearing Ye Zan's words, Wu Changsheng couldn't help but be stunned, and then shook his head with a look of laughter and tears, thinking to himself: It seems that he is still a little uncomfortable with the current change in status, but he has to rely on someone who has never been a head teacher. awake.
Ye Zan seemed to be making a rogue joke, but whether intentionally or unintentionally, he suddenly woke up Wu Changsheng.
Indeed, today's Yuqing Sect is no longer what it used to be. When it was still a third-rate sect, there were only a few people in the whole sect, and it was just trivial matters. The people who deal with the Yuqing Sect outside are the surrounding third-rate sects such as the Jinguang Sect and the Wuzhu Sect, and the relationship is not very good, so they usually have as little contact as possible. Therefore, even if Wu Changsheng, the headmaster, had to do everything personally in the sect, it would not actually take much energy and time.
But what now? The Yuqing Sect has become a second-rate sect. The internal affairs of the sect have increased countless times, and the number of external sects dealing with the Yuqing Sect has also increased countless times. If it was an ordinary second-rate sect, it might not be like this, but who told Ye Zan to do so many eye-catching things. Under this situation, Wu Changsheng still followed the previous way of doing things, taking care of all the big and small things personally. Fortunately, he was a Taoist who was in good health. If it were a mortal, he would have vomited blood from exhaustion.
To put it bluntly, Wu Changsheng's ideas failed to keep up with the changes in Yuqing Sect. In fact, many things do not need to be handled personally by him as the headmaster. As the saying goes, "Those who work hard will govern people, and those who work hard will govern others." At this time, what the headmaster should do is to employ people and let the right people do the right things for him. thing.
Just like this time, due to the huge influence of Lingdao, each sect sent envoys to Yuqing Sect. After all, Wu Changsheng is also the leader of a second-rate sect. Does he need any envoys to personally meet him? Do you still have to go out of your way to explain to them? But Wu Changsheng did just that. He was so approachable that the envoys were a little surprised.
However, this cannot be blamed on Wu Changsheng, after all, the Yuqing Sect has risen too quickly. Those disciples who joined after the rise of Yuqing Sect may not feel anything yet. They only listen to what others say about the former Yuqing Sect, but they still lack personal experience. However, the old people of Yuqing Sect clearly knew how huge the gap was. Sometimes they even felt that they were dreaming, for fear that they would lose everything when they woke up.
"Even if I were to be the head coach, I would definitely leave this matter to you to handle."
Ye Zan's words seemed like he was being rogue, but he was telling Wu Changsheng that the Yuqing Sect is different now, and so is you, the headmaster, and there is no need to do everything yourself. In the past, on the one hand, the Yuqing Sect had few things to do, and on the other hand, the Yuqing Sect had few talents. But now, the Yuqing Sect has many things to do, but it also has many talents. Leaving those talents unused and doing everything yourself only shows that you are not a qualified leader.
Even though Ye Zan has never been a leader, he also ran a large company in the world of technology back then. Although the companies and sects are different, they have many things in common. Although the end of Ye Zan's technology company was not good, it was not caused by management problems.
"Disciple has learned the lesson!" Wu Changsheng thought for a while, then stood up and bowed deeply to Ye Zan.
"What are you doing? I just said it casually." Ye Zan waved his hand quickly and said. He didn't dare to admit that he had any ability in management. If he was really pushed to become a leader, his life would be miserable in the future.
This is really not Ye Zan's own fault. Wu Changsheng had previously planned to give up the position of head coach, but Ye Zan firmly rejected it. The position of head teacher is like the dragon chair under the emperor's buttocks. Some people want to sit on it, but some people like Ye Zan find the chair hot to their buttocks. If you really become a headmaster, although you won't be trapped in the palace for the rest of your life like a secular emperor, your every move will be extremely involved.
What bothers Ye Zan the most is that he is subject to too many restrictions, or that he bears too much burden. When he was in the technological world, he also shouldered heavy responsibilities, but in the end, the burden was overturned and everything was broken. In addition to being simply "lazy", his current thoughts are also due to the psychological shadow caused by the previous incident.
After Wu Changsheng stood up, he looked at Ye Zan, sighed helplessly, and said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will never talk about giving up the throne again, but regarding the current management of our Yuqing Sect, I also ask Your Majesty to be able to Give more guidance to your disciples.”
"Haha, don't worry. If you really need my advice on something, I won't just stand by and watch." Ye Zan, who had seen through his thoughts, said with a somewhat embarrassed smile.
At this moment, a Yuqing disciple came in quickly from outside.
"Reporting to the headmaster, the envoy from the Daqian Kingdom came to ask for an audience. They are waiting outside the gate of Chaoyang Peak." The Yuqing disciple reported to Wu Changsheng after seeing the ceremony.
"Envoys from Daqian Kingdom?" Wu Changsheng was slightly stunned. The envoys who came to Yuqing Sect before were all from various monastic sects. Needless to say, they all knew that they were for Lingdao. And this Daqian Kingdom is a bit special. Although it is a secular country, the royal family is a monastic family.
However, immediately after, Wu Changsheng thought of the rail transit matter that Ye Zan was engaged in, so he said to Ye Zan: "Uncle Master, the envoy from the Daqian Kingdom came here this time, I am afraid it is not just for the matter of spiritual rice. Uncle Master Why don't you come with me to meet him."
Since there were Yuqing disciples present, Wu Changsheng's title to Ye Zan changed from "Tai Shang" to "Uncle Master".
Ye Zan naturally thought of this, nodded and said: "Okay, then I will follow you to meet him. I don't know who the envoy from Daqian Country will be."
Of course, saying that he was going to meet him did not mean that Headmaster Tangtang would personally go to the mountain gate to greet an envoy from the other party. The person responsible for welcoming the Daqian Kingdom envoys into the sect is Xie Wenxuan, the person in charge of Chaoyang Peak. Xie Wenxuan and Lin Huofeng have been working conscientiously in the Yuqing Sect since they were transformed into the character of the Holy Mother, so they were assigned to be responsible for the training of outer disciples at Chaoyang Peak. This can be regarded as an important task. .
Soon, Xie Wenxuan led the envoy from Daqian Kingdom to the Yuqing Hall in Yuquan Peak. At this time, the door of Yuqing Hall opened, and Wu Changsheng and Ye Zan greeted them from the hall. After all, from the perspective of a monastic family, the royal master family of Daqian Kingdom can be regarded as a second-rate sect with the power of three powerful souls. Therefore, Wu Changsheng welcomed him out of the Yuqing Hall, which was considered as giving enough face to the master's family.
Seeing the envoy from Daqian Kingdom, Ye Zan was slightly stunned because his appearance looked quite similar to Shi Yingjie's. Although the Master's family members must have some similarities in appearance due to their blood relationship, this person and Shi Yingjie look alike as if they were carved from the same mold. Obviously, the relationship between this envoy and Shi Yingjie should be quite close.
"My master, Yinghao, pays homage to Master Yuqing Wu, Elder Ye." When the envoy from Daqian Kingdom saw Wu Changsheng and Ye Zan coming out, he quickly saluted and signed his name.
"Master and fellow Taoist disciples have come from afar, but we didn't come far to welcome you. Please forgive me." Wu Changsheng said in return. Although I didn't go to the mountain gate to greet him, which was a matter of course, I still have to say this, to be polite.
"Master Wu's words are harsh. I'm taking the liberty of disturbing you. I would like to ask Master Wu and Elder Ye not to blame them." Shi Yinghao also replied politely.
Both parties were polite and arrived at the Yuqing Hall.
"Fellow Taoist Master, are you familiar with Brother Yingjie?" After the two parties sat down, Ye Zan asked Shi Yinghao.
In fact, as soon as he heard Shi Yinghao's name, he knew that he and Shi Yingjie were the same generation, and it could also be seen from their names that the two should be brothers. People in this world choose names, especially those from a monastic family like the Shi family. There are rules in naming. One is a word with genealogy, and the other is the connection between the last word. For example, a "Hao" and a "Jie" together make a "Hero". Although it seems quite vulgar, it is indeed easy to name and easy to remember.
"Yingjie is his younger brother." Shi Yinghao replied as Ye Zan expected.
"Oh, it turns out that fellow Taoist Master is the elder brother of Brother Yingjie. If I have been rude beforehand, please forgive me." Ye Zan pretended to be surprised and then asked, "Where are you with Brother Yingjie?" We got along quite well during the trip to the Immortal Palace, but we haven’t had much contact since we came out. I wonder how Brother Yingjie is doing?”
"Elder Lao Ye will remember you!" Shi Yinghao smiled, cupped his hands and said: "My brother's trip to the Immortal Palace was all thanks to Elder Ye's support all the way. It can be said that he has gained a lot. After he returned from the Immortal Palace, he got the help of his ancestors. I taught him personally and am now preparing to hit the Nascent Soul realm.”
"My fellow disciples and fellow disciples are serious. We have been supporting each other along the way. Brother Yingjie has achieved such a harvest because of his own hard work. How dare I take credit for it." Ye Zan waved his hand quickly and said.
Shi Yinghao didn't say anything further, but he obviously had a good impression of Ye Zan. After all, he already knew the details of the trip to the Immortal Palace from his younger brother Shi Yingjie.
A large part of the benefits that Shi Yingjie received in the Immortal Palace were entirely given by Ye Zan on his own initiative. In other words, Ye Zan can still stand up even if he doesn't share the benefits with everyone. For example, Yaizi's skeleton and Yaizi's bone marrow, if Ye Zan pretends to be alone, no one else can say anything.
As for the Daqian Kingdom or the Shi family, this time they sent Shi Yinghao as their envoy because they took a fancy to the relationship between Shi Yinghao and Shi Yingjie. If Shi Yingjie hadn't been preparing for the attack on the Nascent Soul realm, I'm afraid if Shi Yingjie's family wanted to come, they should have sent Shi Yingjie as an envoy.
The two sides had a conversation and got closer to each other, which Shi Yinghao was happy to see.
So, after a short break in the conversation, Shi Yinghao also took the opportunity to talk about the purpose of his trip, and said to Wu Changsheng and Ye Zan: "Master Wu, Elder Ye, I am here as an envoy for two things. I want to discuss it with Guizong."
"Fellow Master, please speak." Wu Changsheng said without any surprise. The distance between Daqian Kingdom and Yuqing Sect is not one hundred and eight thousand miles, but ten thousand miles is not enough. Naturally, it is impossible to send an envoy over such a long distance just to establish friendship.
"One of them is for the spiritual rice." Shi Yinghao got straight to the point. He must have heard about Ye Zan's temperament from his younger brother, so he continued: "Although my master family bought some spiritual rice seeds from Tianbao Sect, what can I do? The quantity of seeds is really difficult to meet the needs. I heard that this spiritual rice came from your sect, so I was entrusted by the family leader to purchase a batch of spiritual rice seeds from your sect."
"This..." A wry smile appeared on Wu Changsheng's face, he shook his head helplessly, and said: "Fellow Taoist Master, if this is the reason for this, I am afraid that fellow Taoist disciples will be greatly disappointed. Before fellow Taoist disciples, almost all sects and sects in the domain have The envoys we sent here were all about the spiritual rice seeds. However, firstly, our sect cooperated with Tianbao Sect and this matter was bound by a contract. Secondly, our sect did not do anything untrustworthy. The Duolingdao seeds are just barely enough for this sect, so please forgive me."
Wu Changsheng's refusal was quite straightforward. Simply put, he could not violate the contract with Tianbao Sect, and at the same time, he, a landlord, did not have any surplus food.
However, unlike the previous envoys from various sects, after hearing Wu Changsheng's rejection, Shi Yinghao did not continue to worry about the spiritual rice. Instead, he nodded as if he had expected it, and then said: "I understand, In this case, I will report this matter to the head of the family truthfully. As for the second matter, I am acting on behalf of Daqian State, and I want to ask your sect to design and build rail transit for Daqian State. "
This rail transit is now only built by two countries, and only the Tang Dynasty has truly opened the entire line to traffic. Although Daqian Kingdom is quite far away from Datang Kingdom, with the help of Qianli Chuanyin, Daqian Kingdom obviously already knows about the rail transit. Moreover, since an envoy was sent here to ask Yu Qingzong to help design and build rail transit, he must have a considerable understanding of various rail transit aspects.
This matter can be considered a good thing for Ye Zan. After all, there was no need for any persuasion, people just came over and asked for help with the construction. Moreover, when rail transit is built in Daqian Country, the countries surrounding Daqian Country will definitely see the benefits of rail transit soon.
But the problem is that Ye Zan has not yet solved the problem of shortage of manpower. The construction of rail transit in the surrounding countries alone has to be carried out one by one. Where is there any spare capacity to allocate people to help? What about Qian Guo
"Fellow Taoist Master, to be honest, I am very happy to help Daqian Kingdom plan and build this rail transit, but unfortunately the manpower is limited. Now, several elders of my sect have just completed the construction of Daning Kingdom. We have to rush to Xiliao Kingdom next for the project, and I’m afraid we won’t be able to spare any manpower in a short time.” Ye Zan also said helplessly. He was not fickle. If possible, he wished that the entire Shenhua Realm would be covered by rail transit, so that he could get a huge amount of merit at once. But there is no way. The problem of shortage of manpower will be difficult to solve not only now but also in the future.
