Chapter 423: Envoy From Dagan Kingdom
Hearing Ye Zan's words, Wu Changsheng couldn't help being taken aback for a moment, then shook his head dumbfounded, and thought to himself: It seems that I still don't adapt to the current status change, but I have to rely on someone who has never been a teacher before. Come wake up. .
Ye Zan seemed to be playing a rascal's joke, but he didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and suddenly woke up Wu Changsheng.
Indeed, today's Yu Qingzong is not what it used to be. Back then, when it was still a third-rate sect, there were only a few people in the whole clan, and there were only so many trivial matters. Those who deal with Qingzong outside are the surrounding Jinguang Sect, Wuzhu Sect and a few third-rate sects, and the relationship is not very good, usually as little as possible. Therefore, even if Wu Changsheng, the head teacher, had to do everything in the sect himself, it would not take much energy and time.
But now? 'Jade' Qingzong became a second-rate sect, the internal affairs of the sect increased countless times, and the number of sects that dealt with 'Yu' Qingzong outside 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 such circumstances, Wu Changsheng still followed the previous way of dealing with things, taking care of major and minor matters himself. Fortunately, the Taoist practitioner was in good health, and a mortal would have been tired and vomited blood long ago.
After all, it is Wu Changsheng's concept that has not been able to keep up with the changes of 'Yu' Qingzong. In fact, many things do not need to be dealt with by him, the head teacher. The so-called "those who work hard govern others, and those who work hard rule others". thing.
For example, this time, due to the huge influence of Lingdao, all sects sent envoys to Yu Qingzong. After all, Wu Changsheng is also the head teacher of a second-rate sect, so does he need any envoys to meet him in person? Do you have to exhaust your lips to explain to them? But Wu Changsheng did just that, and the envoys were a little surprised by how approachable he was.
However, Wu Changsheng couldn't be blamed for this, after all, Qingzong 'Jade' rose too fast. Those disciples who joined after the rise of Jade Qingzong may not feel anything. They only listen to what others said about the former Jade Qingzong, but they still lack personal feelings. But the old people of Qingzong Yu clearly knew how huge the gap was before and after, and sometimes they even felt that they were dreaming, for fear that they would wake up and lose everything.
"Even if I am the head teacher, I will definitely 'hand over' this matter to you."
Ye Zan's words seemed like he was playing a rascal, but he might as well be telling Wu Changsheng that now the 'Yu' Qingzong is different, and you, the head teacher, are also different, there is no need to do everything by yourself. In the past, on the one hand, Jade Qingzong had few things to do, and on the other hand, Jade Qingzong had few talents, but now Jade Qingzong has more things to do, but there are just as many talents. Leaving those talents alone and doing everything by yourself can only show that you are not a qualified leader.
Even though Ye Zan has never been a head teacher,
But in the technology world back then, I also ran large companies. Although the companies and sects are different, there are similarities in many places. Although Ye Zan's technology company did not end well, it was not caused by management problems.
"The disciple has been taught!" Wu Changsheng thought for a while, then got up and bowed deeply to Ye Zan.
"What is this for? 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 be a head teacher, his life would be miserable in the future.
It's really not that Ye Zan is being sentimental. Wu Changsheng had planned to give up the position of head teacher before, but Ye Zan resolutely rejected him. 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 think the chair is hot. If one were to be a head teacher, although one would not be trapped in the palace for the rest of one's life like a secular emperor, every move would be very involved.
What annoys Ye Zan the most is that he is subject to too many constraints, or that he bears too much burden on his body. When he was in the technology world, he also carried heavy responsibilities, but in the end the burden was overturned and everything was broken. He thinks this way now, apart from simple "laziness", there is actually a reason for the psychological shadow caused by the previous incident.
After Wu Changsheng got up, he looked at Ye Zan, sighed helplessly, and said, "Don't worry, my majesty, this disciple will never talk about abdicating the throne, but it's just about the management of my 'Yu' Qingzong. I can give some pointers to my disciples."
"Hehe, don't worry, if there is something that needs my advice, I won't stand on the sidelines." The overwhelmed Ye Zan said with an embarrassed smile.
At this moment, a disciple of Yuqing walked in quickly from outside.
"Headmaster Qi, the envoy of the Dagan Kingdom came to ask for an audience, and he is waiting outside the 'gate' of Chaoyang Peak Mountain." The disciple of Yuqing reported to Wu Changsheng after seeing the ceremony.
"Envoys from the Dagan Kingdom?" Wu Changsheng was slightly taken aback. The envoys who came to Yu Qingzong before all came from various sects of cultivating Taoism. Needless to say, they all knew that they were for Lingdao. And this Dagan country is a bit special. Although it is a secular country, the royal family is a family of monks.
However, immediately afterwards, Wu Changsheng thought of Ye Zan's rail traffic, so he said to Ye Zan: "Uncle Master, the envoy from the Dagan Kingdom is probably not just here for the matter of Lingdao. , Uncle, why don't you come with me to meet me last time."
Since there were disciples of 'Yu'qing' present, Wu Changsheng's address to Ye Zan changed from "Tai Shang" to "Master Uncle".
And Ye Zan naturally thought of this, nodded and said: "Okay, then I'll go and meet with you, I don't know who the envoy from Dagan Kingdom will be."
Of course, it is said to meet, but it does not mean that the dignified head teacher has to go to the mountain gate to meet an emissary from the other party. The person in charge of welcoming the envoys of the Dagan Kingdom into the sect is Xie Wenxuan, the person in charge of Chaoyang Peak. Xie Wenxuan and Lin Huofeng, after being transformed into the character of the Holy Mother, have always been conscientious in their work in the "Yu" Qingzong, so they were assigned to be responsible for the cultivation of outer disciples at Chaoyang Peak. It can be regarded as being entrusted with a heavy responsibility.
Soon, Xie Wenxuan brought the envoys of Dagan Kingdom to the front of the Great Hall of Yuqing in Yuquan Peak. At this time, the main door of the Yuqing Hall opened, and Wu Changsheng and Ye Zan came out from the hall. After all, from the perspective of a family of monks, the royal family of the Dagan Kingdom, with the power of the three primordial spirits, can be regarded as a second-rate sect. Therefore, for Wu Changsheng to welcome him out of the Yuqing Great Hall, he was giving the teacher enough face.
Seeing the envoy from the Dagan Kingdom, Ye Zan was slightly stunned, because the other person looked quite similar to Shi Yingjie. Although Shi's family members must have similar looks due to their blood relationship, but this one and Shi Yingjie are so similar that they were carved out of the same mold. Obviously, the relationship between this envoy and Shi Yingjie should be quite close.
"My master, Yinghao, pays homage to Master Ye of 'Yu'qing Wu, Elder Ye." Seeing Wu Changsheng and Ye Zan coming out, the envoy of the Dagan Kingdom hurriedly saluted and gave his name.
"Master and Taoist friend came from afar, and I have not greeted you from afar, please forgive me." Wu Changsheng replied. Although it was a matter of course not to go to the mountain gate to greet him, but I still have to say that, it's polite.
"Headmaster Wu speaks too seriously. I'm taking the liberty to disturb you. Please don't blame Headmaster Wu and Elder Ye." Shi Yinghao also replied politely.
The two parties showed some politeness and came to the main hall of 'Yu'qing'.
"Master Daoist, do you know if you are familiar with Brother Yingjie?" Ye Zan asked Shi Yinghao after the two parties sat down.
In fact, as soon as I heard Shi Yinghao's name, I knew that this and Shi Yingjie were of the same generation, and from the name, it could be seen that the two should be brothers. People in this world, especially a family of monks like the Shijia, have their names in a regular way. One is a character with a genealogy, and the other is the connection of 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 the younger brother." Shi Yinghao replied as Ye Zan expected.
"Oh, it turns out that Master Daoist is Brother Yingjie's elder brother. If you have been rude before, please forgive me." Ye Zan pretended to be pleasantly surprised, and then asked: "I am with Brother Yingjie. During the trip to the Immortal Palace, we hit it off quite well, but after we came out we had little contact, how is Brother Yingjie doing?"
"Elder Lao Ye remembers you!" Shi Yinghao smiled, cupped his hands and said, "My brother's trip to the Immortal Palace is all thanks to Elder Ye's support all the way. It can be said that he has gained a lot. I personally taught it, and now I am preparing for the impact on the Nascent Soul Realm."
"Teacher and fellow Taoist, you are serious. We will support each other along the way. Brother Yingjie can gain so much because of his own hard work. How dare I be greedy for merit." Ye Zan waved his hand quickly and said.
Shi Yinghao didn't continue to say anything, but he obviously had a good impression of Ye Zan, after all, he already knew the details of his trip to the Immortal Palace from his younger brother Shi Yingjie.
A large part of the benefits that Shi Yingjie got in Immortal Palace was given by Ye Zan on his own initiative. In other words, even if Ye Zan didn't share those benefits with everyone, he could still stand up. For example, the bones of Yazi, and the bones of Yazi, if Ye Zan pretended to be alone, no one else could say anything.
And the Dagan Kingdom or the Shi family sent Shi Yinghao as their envoy this time, because they took a fancy to the relationship between Shi Yinghao and Shi Yingjie. If it wasn't for Shi Yingjie who was preparing for the impact on the Nascent Soul Realm, I'm afraid Shi's family should have sent Shi Yingjie as an envoy if they wanted to.
After some conversations between the two sides, they also got closer to each other, which Shi Yinghao was also happy to see.
So, after a short break in the conversation, Shi Yinghao also talked about the purpose of his trip, and said to Wu Changsheng and Ye Zan: "Headmaster Wu, Elder Ye, come here as an envoy this time. There are two things that I want to discuss with your lord."
"Teacher, friend, please tell me." Wu Changsheng said without any surprise. Dagan Kingdom is not a distance of one hundred and eight thousand miles from the 'Yu' Qingzong, but ten hundred and eight thousand miles is not enough. It is impossible to send an envoy from such a long distance just to make friends.
"One of them is for Lingdao." Shi Yinghao opened the door to see the mountain. He must have heard about Ye Zan's "nature" from his younger brother, and then said: "Although my teacher's family is from Tianbaozong, I bought some spiritual rice seeds, but the number of seeds is really hard to meet the needs. I heard that this spiritual rice came from the noble family, so I am entrusted by the head of the family to buy a batch of spiritual rice seeds from the noble family."
"This..." There was a wry smile on Wu Changsheng's face, he shook his head helplessly, and said, "Fellow master, if it's for this matter, I'm afraid fellow daoists will be disappointed. Before fellow daoists, almost every sect in the realm All factions have sent envoys here, all for the matter of spiritual rice seeds. However, firstly, our sect cooperates with Tianbao sect, and this matter is bound by a contract, so we cannot do such untrustworthy things. Second, our sect actually I don't have too many spiritual rice seeds, and now I can barely use it for my sect. So, please forgive me, teacher and Taoist friend."
Wu Changsheng's refusal was quite straightforward. Simply put, he could not violate the contract with Tianbaozong, and at the same time, he, the landlord, had no surplus food.
However, unlike the previous envoys from various sects, after hearing Wu Changsheng's refusal, Shi Yinghao did not continue to entangle with the matter of Lingdao, but nodded as if he had expected it, and then said: "I understand, That being the case, I will truthfully report this matter to the Patriarch. As for the second matter, I am acting on behalf of the Dagan Kingdom, and I want to ask your lord to design and build rail transportation for the Dagan Kingdom."
This rail transit is now only built by two countries, and only the country of Tang Dynasty is really open to traffic. Although the Dagan Kingdom is quite far away from the Datang Kingdom, with the help of Qianli Sound Transmission, the Dagan Kingdom obviously already knows about the rail transportation. Moreover, since the envoys were sent here, if Qingzong Yu was to be invited to help design and build the rail transportation, he must have a considerable understanding of the various rail transportation.
For Ye Zan, this matter is also a good thing. After all, without any persuasion, people came over and asked for help in the construction. Moreover, when rail transit is built in Dagan country, then those countries around Dagan country will definitely see the benefits of rail transit soon.
But the problem is that Ye Zan has not yet solved the problem of manpower shortage. The construction of rail transit in the surrounding countries alone has to be carried out by country by country. How about helping Dagan?
"Fellow teacher, to tell the truth, I am very happy to help Dagan Kingdom plan and build this rail transit, but the manpower is really limited. Now, several elders of my sect have just completed the project. The project of Daning Kingdom will go to Xiliao Kingdom next, and I am afraid that there will be no manpower available in a short time." Ye Zan also said helplessly. He wasn't right, if possible, he wished that the entire Shenhua domain would be covered with rail traffic at once, so that he could get a huge amount of merit at once. But there is no way. The problem of insufficient manpower, let alone now, will be difficult to solve in the future.
