Chapter 11 Employment

Tianshu Mansion.

As the most important institution for cultivators in Fengshan Kingdom, it is located in the center of Changping Prefecture. Its geographical conditions are superior and its architectural layout is so luxurious that even the magistrate's lobby and wealthy residences cannot compare.

When the lanterns first came on, the Tianshu Mansion was already brightly lit with songs and laughter.

A banquet was being held in the hall of Tianshu Mansion, with dozens of servants carrying various exquisite dishes to the table.

The host of the banquet was naturally Tang Jie.

The matter of the Bai Mansion was settled after the arrival of Weng Tongrang and others. Tang Jie got what he wanted, so he naturally gave up. However, Weng Tongrang and others obviously did not intend to let this big man leave like this, and invited him warmly. After failing to do so, Tang Jie agreed to attend the banquet.

Sitting in the host and guest seats, Tang Jie faced Weng Tongrang and other officials who were diligently persuading him to drink.

Weng Tongrang's butt almost never touched the stool. He kept standing up to toast and introduced various dishes attentively:

"Braised phoenix liver is made from the heart and liver of the phoenix beast living in Wushan Mountain. It needs to be a young civet under two years old. It is really tender and delicious. Mr. Tang must try it."

Tang Jie stretched out his chopsticks and took a bite. After tasting it, he nodded and said, "It is indeed a delicacy in the world."

Seeing his approval, everyone felt relieved at the same time. The general with a good look in his eyes was ready to tell his subordinates to make more of these phoenix livers and send them over. Unexpectedly, after saying this, Tang Jie put down his chopsticks and stopped eating.

Then Changping Commander-in-Chief Wei Yuanzhen said strangely: "Why don't you eat, sir? Is it because you think the reception is not good?"

Tang Jie shook his head and looked at Yiyi beside him. The little girl was getting excited about eating.

"Is it delicious?" he asked Yiyi.

Yiyi nodded repeatedly.

Tang Jie's face was full of tenderness: "If it tastes good, just eat less."

As soon as these words came out, everyone froze, even Yiyi froze.

Yu Renjie asked in confusion: "Sir, what does this mean?"

After thinking for a while, Tang Jie replied: "Those who play with things lose their ambitions. As cultivators of our generation, our ambitions are on the path of immortality. We have no other aspirations besides the path of sacrifice. Food, sex, rights, and prosperity in the world. The more beautiful the place, the more... It corrodes the place of will. If you want to make progress all the way,

I think it's better to stay away from these things. For this reason, the more exquisite the food, the more untouchable it is; the more attractive the woman is, the more she must stay away from her..."

As he spoke, he looked at the pretty maid next to him who was constantly making flirtatious glances at him.

After hearing what Tang Jie said, the maid's face changed slightly and she took a few steps back.

Even Weng Tongrang and others changed their expressions slightly when they heard this, and were shocked by this person's strong concentration and strong character.

However, before Tang Jie finished speaking, he added another sentence: "Of course, there is also the power in the world. If you can do it, it's better not to do it."

As soon as these words came out, Weng Tongrang and others' expressions changed at the same time. Unexpectedly, Tang Jie had already figured out their purpose.

That's right, Weng Tong asked them to win over Tang Jie deliberately because he wanted Tang Jie to become an official.

Facing a powerful enemy, the best way is not to defeat him, but to turn him into one of your own.

Almost everyone in the officialdom is familiar with this set of rules. In order to win over Tang Jie, Weng Tongrang and others worked even harder. After what happened here, Weng Tongrang sent the news back to the capital of Fengshan Kingdom with a thousand-mile message. The order he received was to win over this person at all costs. Even the official positions, rewards, residences, etc. that should be given to Yu have been arranged.

But they didn't expect that Tang Jie could see through their thoughts at a glance, and was blocked by Tang Jie before they could say anything.

For nearly ten thousand years, Qixia Realm has always insisted that immortals and mortals do not coexist, and that mortal affairs are managed by mortals. Cultivators only need to enjoy the offerings, regulate the rain, and practice with peace of mind. It is not unreasonable.

One of the important reasons is to avoid being exposed to too much secular atmosphere, especially the atmosphere of officialdom.

The power field is a place where the will is more easily corrupted than delicious food.

In the officialdom, what is important is to be good at dancing with long sleeves, to be elegant, to observe people's words, to figure out the intentions, and to be cautious in words and deeds.

The path of a cultivator is to be strong and decisive, to be brave and diligent, to enter with determination, and to be fearless. Even though there are thousands of people, I will go there.

The two are fundamentally in conflict with each other.

For this reason, in the Qixia Realm, although the six major sects stand on the top of the world with the means of reaching the sky, they insist on being separated from the world, that is, to avoid the secular world contaminating their souls. Although there will inevitably be some intrigues in places with people, but overall, because there are few people and few things to do, everyone concentrates on cultivation and there are much less things like socializing.

On the other hand, look at the few people in front of you. They are both cultivators and officials, but they are all groveling and trying to please. How can there be any trace of the courage that a cultivator should have?

Thinking more deeply, the reason why the Qingyun Realm has formed the current situation of the decline of the human race and the rise of the demon race is probably related to their system of cultivators becoming ministers and becoming officials. Now that practitioners have become officials, how much time and energy do they have to devote to cultivation? It is not only the will that is wasting away, but also the strength itself.

But for some words, just click on it. Tang Jie didn't do it for himself, he just wanted to wake up a little. In fact, people may not understand that it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. It is impossible to make some people give up the good life they are used to. of.

At this moment, everyone felt ashamed after hearing Tang Jie's words.

Weng Tongrang had already stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Sir, you have been practicing hard and are diligent and self-motivated. I am ashamed of you. However, now that the demon clan is powerful, the human race is in danger. If we don't unite to fight against the demon clan, sooner or later the human race will be defeated." A situation of destruction.”

What he said was sincere and showed no pretense at all.

Tang Jie had also heard some things about these generals before he came. He knew that although these people had many problems, they were generally good at doing things and had fought against monsters on the battlefield several times. Although he has no outstanding achievements, he can still be considered as trying his best.

Tang Jie said: "If you are not in the army, you can still contribute to the rise and fall of the human race."

Zou Yuanye responded: "Folk cultivators are like loose sand, unable to be used in a big way. You are such a talented person, it would be too unfair to stay among the people."

For the first time, Tang Jie did not object. He nodded and said, "That's right."

Everyone was overjoyed, thinking that Tang Jie had changed his mind.

Tang Jie shook his head and said: "But I'm used to being alone, and I still don't want to get involved too much in the world of mortals. I think it's better to do this. If the demon clan attacks, but you have arrangements, you can come to me. If you have nothing to do on weekdays, don't come. It’s annoying me.”

"What about salary?" Shen Peng asked.

Tang Jie replied: "Then it depends on what you need me to do, and you can negotiate the price. But you can rest assured that for matters related to the rise and fall of the human race, my price will not be too high, as long as all the loot belongs to me."

Tang Jie's words completely put himself in the position of a mercenary, which was also the best result for him. After all, he doesn't have to give up power, but he still can't give up resources.

"That's natural!" Everyone agreed together.

Although Tang Jie failed to become an official, at least Tang Jie's position was on the side of the human race, as long as there were no problems with this general direction. Moreover, as Tang Jie said that it was related to the rise and fall of the human race, the asking price would not be too high, which also made everyone feel more at ease. For a person with Tang Jie's status, what he says will not count.

With our worries at ease, everyone spoke more relaxedly, without the previous restraint.

With the help of wine, the governor of the Zhenfu Division, Zou Yuanye, said: "By the way, sir, the price will not be too high for matters related to the rise and fall of the human race. Does that mean that in addition to the major matters of the rise and fall of the human race, in fact, some private matters Is it okay to ask sir to help me with this matter?"

Tang Jie smiled and replied: "That's natural. As long as it's not something unethical and unreasonable, you can come to me. The price depends on the situation, but it won't be cheap."

"That's it, that's it!" Everyone started laughing together, and countless thoughts flashed through their minds in an instant.

From what Tang Jie said, as long as he had money, he was actually very talkative, and even they could assign Tang Jie to do things. If this is the case, it will be much easier to do things in the future.

I don’t know what the price of Tang Jie is.

Thinking of this, Yu Renjie asked: "I don't know how to price it, sir?"

Tang Jie thought for a while and replied: "That depends on the strength of the opponent. By the way, what is your current monthly rate?"

Wei Yuanzhen replied: "Our monthly salary is three thousand spiritual coins, and General Weng's is five thousand. Every time we fight, we will receive additional rewards based on our military merits."

The monthly income of these people is not high, just like no one who is an official relies on salary to survive.

Tang Jie didn't care, he just lowered his head and thought for a moment, and said: "Then let's take ten times the monthly rule as the standard. A spiritual ring is 30,000 spiritual coins, a demon is 50,000, and the soul is 100,000, no matter how high it is. This is a personal remuneration. If it is a demon battlefield, the remuneration can be cheaper, subject to five times. Of course, again, unless there is a designated target, all the trophies are mine. Others will be determined according to the situation. Bar."

When everyone heard this, they were all excited.

Not too expensive, but too cheap.

You must know that there are many powerful people like Tang Jie in Fengshan Kingdom, but there are very few people like Tang Jie who are willing to work hard for money. All of them are supported by officials and have to practice hard every day, unless The rise and fall of the human race is a major event, otherwise it would not happen easily. In this way, even if you occasionally make a move, you still need to ask for a sky-high remuneration, and this does not take into account the daily offerings.

In comparison, Tang Jie's asking price is simply charity!

They didn't know that this was because Tang Jie's cultivation was different, as long as resources were used and no time was wasted.

For other great powers, time is a resource, and on the path to immortality, one has to work hard every day. What's more, sometimes the retreat happens to be good, but something causes the retreat to be released early, causing greater losses, and naturally one has to ask for sky-high compensation.

Tang Jie didn't have these worries. Anyway, he had not made much progress in relying on heaven. All he needed was resources. He had to go around to find resources, otherwise he wouldn't have gone to massacre Baizhan City.

With entrustment, wouldn't it be better if you can make an extra sum?

Finally, there is only one person with other powerful talents, and he is unable to do all the work, so naturally he will not lower the price easily. Tang Jie is different. He has clones, ghost guards, Yiyi, Tutu, and even Dou soldiers. The combat power he can provide also allows him to set relatively cheap prices and accept enough commissions. .

In this way, you can naturally make money and improve your strength.
