Longevity, starting from raising chickens

Chapter 349
"Ian?"

Zhao Feng was startled when he heard this and couldn't help but look at the unaware boy beside him.

Wang Yian is accompanying Bu Chan in clearing the table, dishes, chopsticks, etc.

Although he is only seven or eight years old, he works decently.

It's not like he was at the wine table just now.

Zhao Feng couldn't help but nodded slightly.

Wang Ba saw it and said quickly:

"Yi An, come here."

Wang Yian came over doubtfully.

"Dad, Uncle Zhao."

Zhao Feng nodded, without being polite, and immediately raised his hand to touch Wang Yi'an's head.

Seeing this, Bu Chan quickly stopped what he was doing and looked at Wang Yi'an and Zhao Feng.

Wang Yian's eyes were full of confusion.

Soon, Zhao Feng withdrew his palm, with a trace of satisfaction in his eyes, and whispered to Wang Yian:
"Yi An, are you willing to accept me as your teacher?"

Wang Yian was stunned for a moment, but did not answer immediately. Instead, a trace of thought flashed in his eyes, and then he asked:

"Uncle Zhao, if I become your teacher, what skills can you teach me?"

Hearing this, Zhao Feng and Wang Yan were startled.

Wang Ba couldn't help but became furious:
"You bastard! How dare I do anything to you, Uncle Zhao..."

Zhao Feng gently stopped Wang Hao and looked at Wang Yian:

"Learn skill?"

He pointed casually, and a sword light quietly flew out from his fingertips.

In front of Wang Yian, the light split instantly and turned into countless sword shadows.

The shadows of the sword were vertical and horizontal, covering the entire sky above Wanfa Peak, like blocking out the sky and the sun. It was indescribably majestic and majestic.

Seeing this scene, Wang Yian couldn't help but widen his eyes, and his eyes lit up instantly.

"I'll learn this! Just learn this!"

It seemed that he heard Wang Yian's words.

call out!
Countless sword shadows condensed into a sword light in an instant and jumped into Zhao Feng's body again.

Wang Yian rushed over immediately and hugged Zhao Feng with stars in his eyes:

"Uncle, dear uncle, I want to learn this! I want to learn this!"

However, what made him momentarily stunned was that Zhao Feng shook his head calmly and said:
"I won't accept you."

Wang Yian was stunned for a breath and couldn't help but said: "Why?"

Zhao Feng said calmly: "Practice with me, it will be very painful."

Wang Yian immediately shook his head like a rattle:
"I'm not afraid of suffering!"

"It's going to be lonely."

"What is loneliness? It doesn't matter, I'm not afraid either!"

It seemed that his persistence moved Uncle Zhao, and Uncle Zhao's face relaxed a little:
"Can it really be done?"

Wang Yian resolutely said: "Definitely!"

Zhao Feng looked thoughtful and said:

"Okay... for the sake of your father and your mother, I will accept you first, but first, if you can't endure the hardship and fulfill my requirements, then don't blame me for sending you back."

Wang Yian suddenly raised his chest and raised his head and said: "A man, you will do what you say!"

Zhao Feng finally showed a smile:
"Okay, then you come with me now!"

"what?"

Wang Yian was stunned.

Even if Xuan only felt his eyes flickering, he had already appeared in mid-air.

He was not afraid, but he couldn't help but look at the two familiar figures on Wanfa Peak below, and couldn't help shouting:

"Mom! Dad!"

However, the next moment, Zhao Fengwei's slightly cold voice came to his ears:
"If you can't bear the pain of leaving your parents, then I'll send you back now."

Wang Yian was suddenly excited, thinking of the ability he had been looking forward to for a long time, but his face showed a look of determination that was not consistent with his age: "No! I can endure the hardship!"

After saying that, he suppressed the fear, nervousness and reluctance in his heart and turned his head.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Feng nodded slightly without any trace, and a hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes.

Immediately, his mind moved slightly, and the sword light suddenly accelerated and crossed the sky.

On Wanfa Peak.

Bu Chan snuggled next to Wang Ba, watching the light disappearing into the sky, she couldn't help but look worried:

"Senior brother, is it too early for us to send him to Senior Brother Zhao? I heard that practicing at Heart Sword Peak is very difficult, and Senior Brother Zhao is always very strict..."

Wang Hao gently patted Bu Chan's shoulder and said harmoniously:

"Don't worry, only a strict master can produce a good disciple. Besides, with Liu Jin's talent in swordsmanship, among the people I know, only Senior Brother Zhao can teach him."

The worry in Bu Chan's eyes is still unabated:
"Of course I know, but six pounds is still small after all..."

Wang Hao comforted softly: "If it doesn't work, let's go and take a look. The child will eventually grow up without us. Besides, there are constant disasters and there is no telling when the accident will happen. It's not a bad thing for Liu Jin to grow up earlier."

After hearing Wang Ba's words, Bu Chan nodded slightly and then said:
"Then when will you hurry up and send Shu Xiu's gift? Senior Brother Zhao was leaving in a hurry just now, and we didn't even have time to give Liu Jin to him."

"This is not urgent... Well, since Liu Jin is not here, should we have other things to do?"

"Huh? But it's still daylight...well..."

……

It’s the beginning of the month again.

Hall of features.

"The demand for various elixirs, spiritual food, talismans, magical instruments, etc. in the southern part of the West Sea Kingdom has increased by more than [-]% compared with last month. The elixir consumption is extremely large, followed by spiritual food... The inventory is already tight."

"Last month, the decision passed by the Chunyang Palace to support the exchange of some defective resources from Dachu in exchange for local specialty spiritual objects has begun. The Rende Palace has sent people there to take stock. It is expected that the first batch of spiritual objects will be returned to the sect in half a year. …”

"The blood disaster in Li country was finally eliminated not long ago, but the local losses were extremely heavy, and since they are not far from us, they also asked us for support, so this month and the next six months will continue to allocate part of the defective materials to be sent there. The current list of support materials is as follows...Currently, there has been a continuous shortage of some defective materials..."

Listening to a series of reports from Protector Li of the Diwu Hall, Song Dongyang, the deputy head of the Diwu Hall, who was sitting behind the desk, felt quite anxious for a while.

The war is undoubtedly a huge consumption of resources.

Whether it is the defensive war against the Sanzhou monks in the West Sea Kingdom or the support against Da Chu, it is a huge expense.

Including Li Guo's disaster relief, although the scale is smaller in comparison, the inventory requirements of the Diwu Palace are still a huge challenge.

In particular, while supporting these supplies, the Diwu Palace also needs to continuously store more high-quality resources to supply the future consumption on the Tribulation Raft.

This is the real big head.

Even so, mobilizing and distributing supplies across multiple lines is still a huge challenge for the monks of the Diwu Palace.

Especially for him, the only deputy palace master who is working, during the recent period, he has not even had time to practice himself, and is completely tied up by the affairs in the palace.

But even so, as the deputy master of the Earthly Things Palace, he has the unshirkable responsibility for this kind of thing. Others can avoid it, but he can't.

While quickly reviewing the list of requests for supplies, he listened to the report.

"... After the fall of the Yan State, the Tang Dynasty guarding the Linglong Ghost Market of the Yan State has arrived in the Chen State, and is now requesting the support of the Earthly Things Palace to rebuild the ghost market..."

"In addition, with the fall of most of Daqi's territory, the ghost markets we laid out there also had to be moved. Some of the ghost markets were destroyed and various materials were lost. The current loss cannot be counted, and it has increased The difficulty of resource scheduling..."

'Snapped! '

Protector Li was startled by the sudden sound, and saw Song Dongyang slamming the pen on the table with an angry look.

"Palace Master?"

Song Dongyang glanced at the materials on the table, took a breath, and quickly calmed down. Then he shook his head slightly, picked up the pen, and continued to quickly review the slips, while saying:

"It's alright, keep talking."

"Yes, the Changsheng Sect purchased from us last month..."

Not long after, Protector Li heard another angry slap on the table.

'Snapped! '

This time the sound was louder than last time, so that Protector Li had to stop again and look at Song Dongyang.

But at this moment, Song Dongyang could no longer hold himself back and said furiously:

"Before these ministers and deputy ministers brought the materials, didn't they know how to look at them carefully? What are these material withdrawal records!"

"It's a mess! It's inconsistent! It's a complete mess!"

"The ministers will gather for a meeting later, and I have to give them a lecture!"

"Palace Master, calm down, calm down, we all know the situation below. It has been like this for so many years..."

Protector Li advised.

Song Dongyang did not calm down at all, but became even more angry:

"Is this the right thing to do? In the past, when we mobilized less resources, it would be fine if we were a little messy or a little less. I would just turn a blind eye and it would be over. But what is happening now, everyone still doesn't know what their priorities are! Just! Know how to fool!"

Protector Li smiled bitterly and secretly sympathized with these ministers.

He had no choice but to comfort him: "It's been so many years. There's no need to rush. You have to take your time."

After persuading him for a while, Song Dongyang finally managed to suppress the anger in his heart.

As a result, I just picked up a pile of papers and flipped through two pages. I couldn't help but slap the table and gritted my teeth:

"Qi Yan, do you still want to be the minister? What are these things he is writing down? Only two hundred spirit beasts are shipped out of the warehouse every month? The four hundred spirit beasts sold to the Changsheng Sect were temporarily transformed. ?”

"Are the people in charge of purchasing in the Changsheng Sect all blind? Take the four hundred spiritual stones and buy two hundred? Huh?"

Hearing Song Dongyang's angry words, Protector Li couldn't help but shake his head.

It's okay to be a little messy or close to it, and it will be over if you make a fool of yourself. But if the discrepancy is so big, who can make it right?

Bless yourself!
Although Song Dongyang said angry words, after all, the leader of a department could be dismissed from his position only if the master of the Diwu Hall and the master of the Rende Hall spoke together, or if the sect master spoke.

But it’s really ugly to lose face in front of so many people.

But on the other hand, Song Dongyang, the deputy palace master, was really sad.

Even if he is extremely angry, there is nothing he can do when facing the old fools like the ministers of various departments.

Protector Li reported again with sympathy.

But I was secretly glad in my heart.

Although his achievements and various benefits are far less than those of the palace master, he is not even as good as the deputy minister.

But I don’t have much to worry about.

Earn some merit and have enough time to practice. In your free time, you can also drink tea and wine with other peers.

Whether it is practice or life, it is still very nourishing.

Of course, this situation is basically hopeless.

But he didn't care. Among his peers, there were only a few who could successfully embark on the journey to becoming gods, and he didn't believe that he would be one of them.

And Song Dongyang also started reviewing again.

But Protector Li could still hear the sound of the other party banging the table from time to time.

He had become accustomed to it and continued to report without being affected.

But not long after, he suddenly heard the other party's slightly surprised voice.

Protector Li didn't take it seriously and continued to report.

However, Song Dongyang's voice sounded:

"You stop first."

Protector Li was stunned and couldn't help but raise his head and look at Song Dongyang.

But he saw the other party holding a piece of paper and looking at each word word by word with a mixture of surprise and astonishment on his face...

When Protector Li saw this, he looked around curiously.

I could only vaguely see the grids drawn across the paper...

"What's written here, it seems that Lao Song is quite happy, which is rare..."

Protector Li couldn't help but feel a little curious.

After reporting for a long time, he didn't even see Song Dongyang smile.

Either he slapped the table or yelled, or at most he frowned and said nothing.

This look is indeed rare.

But while Protector Li was thinking about it, Song Dongyang said loudly and hastily:
"Lao Li, come on, come and take a look."

Protector Li was stunned, then quickly walked over and took the paper from Song Dongyang's hand.This time, he could see clearly.

This piece of paper is not too big, with many grids formed horizontally and vertically. At the top of the grid is a line of Juan's beautiful handwriting.

"The Spiritual Food Ministry's October supplies withdrawal, loss, and retention list?"

Protector Li read it word by word and was a little surprised.

"Is it from the Spiritual Food Department?"

Isn’t this also the area hardest hit by confusion?

He couldn't help but look down.

Not long after, he raised his head with surprise, only to see Song Dongyang looking at him expectantly.

"Old Li, how are you? Can you understand?"

"This... is not difficult, no, I should say, it is very clear."

Protector Li considered it for a moment before speaking.

Song Dongyang suddenly said excitedly:

"That's right! It's clear at a glance!"

"I've never seen it before."

"This thing is great! Haha! I didn't expect Cui Daqi to give me such a big surprise!"

"If all ministries summarize the material utilization and scheduling situation within the ministry in this form, I don't know how much time will be saved!"

Upon hearing this, Protector Li couldn't help but look at the paper in his hand, and he couldn't help but nodded slightly in recognition:

"The palace master is right, with this 'watch', it will indeed save a lot of trouble... Minister Cui used to look careless, but I didn't expect that he could be so considerate at critical moments."

Song Dongyang also quite recognized:

"Yes, I was ready to scold my mother just now, but this guy gave me a surprise. I have never seen him capable of this before."

"Perhaps Minister Cui thinks this is just an ability for chores, so he doesn't want to show it."

Protector Li guessed.

"Maybe. Regardless of this, these ministers will be here later. I will ask him then."

Song Dongyang was smiling and in a good mood.

Maybe seeing hope in getting out of the chore.

Even after encountering confusing materials similar to those from the Beast Control Department, Song Dongyang rarely got angry.

Not long after, a deacon came to inform him that all the ministers had gathered. At that moment, he put down the pen in his hand and Shi Shiran got up and went.

……

"I've met Deputy Palace Master Song."

In the side hall of the Diwu Palace.

Song Dongyang looked at the ministers of the ministries below, his eyes lingered on the face of Cui Daqi, who was inconspicuous in the crowd, and then he nodded slightly to everyone.

"Time is tight. In order not to delay the progress of various ministries, I just called the ministers to come over this time. There are three things in total..."

The ministers below immediately pricked up their ears.

There was a commotion.

"...The third thing is the details of the material withdrawals submitted by each ministry."

Song Dongyang's originally kind expression suddenly darkened:

"Everyone, Lord Xi has told you many times that our inventory of various materials in the Diwu Palace is very tight now. If we don't know the usage of materials in each department, it will be difficult to make overall arrangements in the future..."

The ministers of various ministries below, except for a few people, all immediately kept their noses and noses in mind and kept their ears indifferent to what was going on outside the window.

Song Dongyang saw this and was so angry that his teeth itched. He first looked at one of them and said in a deep voice:
"Minister Qi, please tell me about the record book you handed in before, how many spiritual beasts are taken out of the warehouse every day?"

Qi Yan in the crowd saw his name called upon, but he didn't panic. He frowned slightly and said:

"About [-]."

Song Dongyang suddenly became furious:

"Then what does it say in your record book? Two hundred per day! Even the ones sold to the Changsheng Sect are not enough!"

Qi Yan's face was a little confused, and he lowered his face:

"Then I'll go back and talk to the other deputy ministers and ask them to pay attention."

"It's not about paying attention, it's about sorting it out. The records are really messy."

Although Song Dongyang tried his best to endure it, he still couldn't help but raise his voice as he spoke.

Then he ordered a few more people.

The materials submitted were all very poorly done.

Seeing that the atmosphere in the hall was a bit solemn, Song Dongyang finally woke up from his anger just now. The annoyance on his face disappeared instantly, and soon a smile appeared:
"Of course, there are also some who do quite well."

"Here, on behalf of the Hall Master, I would like to praise Minister Cui of the Spiritual Food Department!"

"The record book compiled by Minister Cui this time has detailed and reliable data. Its specially-made 'record sheet' has a clear and simple format, which has saved a lot of effort at the Diwu Palace and accelerated our overall integration..." "

After hearing Song Dongyang's slightly formal words, the ministers of various ministries couldn't help but look at each other in shock with the people around them.

"Record Form?"

"What it is?"

He looked at Cui Daqi in the crowd in surprise.

But he saw Cui Daqi's expression was calm and calm without any disturbance.

However, at this moment, Cui Daqi's heart was already blooming with joy.

"Sure enough! I knew my old Cui was going to show up this time!"

He knows all the ministers very well.

It is absolutely certain that no one will be able to do this data well.

The reason is simple. Everyone, including him, will only worry about how to make these materials, but will never really put their thoughts into it.

Everyone is very busy. As ministers and deputy ministers, their own time for practice is squeezed. Spending energy on these chores that they think are insignificant is simply not worth the gain.

If it weren't for the strict requirements from above, they wouldn't have bothered to care.

What goes up and down the line is effective, and this is especially true for the members of the various departments below.

Of course, at this moment, he was thinking of Wang Yan even more.

If Wang Ba hadn't sorted through all the records in the Spiritual Food Department, he would have been the one who was criticized just now.

That is why he is not praised as much as he is now.

At this time, he also heard Song Dongyang's voice full of appreciation:

"Minister Cui, why don't you tell everyone how you made this form?"

"Ok?"

Cui Daqi was stunned, why is there still this link?
How to make this table?
He knows shit.

You have to ask Wang Yan!
But fortunately, after all, people become better with age, so he said calmly:

"Palace Master Song, there is actually nothing special about this table. Let me show it to you. With the talents of the ministers, you can easily understand it."

Cui Daqi's words were recognized by Song Dongyang.

Song Dongyang recalled the form. It was indeed very simple. Even ordinary people, not to mention monks, could understand it. He nodded slightly and said, "Old Li."

Protector Li immediately passed the duplicate copy of the "October Material Use, Loss, and Retention List of the Spiritual Food Department" to the ministers of each department one by one.

Seeing this scene, Cui Daqi was slightly startled, and then secretly cursed the old fox in his heart.

Song Dongyang had obviously been preparing to show it to the ministers for a long time, but he just borrowed it from him.

When the ministers of various ministries received copies of these forms, they were immediately surprised when they saw that they were indeed as concise and clear as Song Dongyang said.

"This, this form is really much simpler... but it was unheard of before."

"Is this really Lao Cui's fault?"

"You really can't judge a book by its appearance..."

Some ministers raised their heads and looked at Cui Daqi in surprise.

I really didn’t expect Cui Daqi, a cook, to be able to make such an innovation.

Especially Ma Shengxu, the head of the Spiritual Planting Department, looked at Cui Daqi up and down several times, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Hearing these discussions and feeling the complicated looks cast by the ministers, Cui Daqi was amused, but he couldn't help but feel a little angry.

What does it mean not to judge a book by its appearance?

I have an eye for discerning people, okay?
However, when the ministers of various ministries saw this form, they were eager to give it a try.

And this is exactly what Song Dongyang wants to see.

Seeing this, he nodded slightly and said immediately:

"Okay, everyone has a heavy task, so I won't disturb you anymore. You can take this list back and study it. Remember not to spread it outside. If there is nothing else, just leave it."

When everyone heard this, they immediately became like birds and beasts.

But at this moment, a voice rang out from the crowd:
"Wait a minute, Palace Master Song, I have something to do."

Song Dongyang was slightly startled, and turned around to look, only to see that it was Qi Yan, the Minister of Beast Control who had just been criticized by him.

My mind was spinning, but there was no expression on my face:
"What's the matter with Minister Qi?"

Qi Yan gave a slight salute, then looked at Cui Daqi, with a rare smile on his face:
"It's like this. Recently, the Beast Control Department has been seriously short of manpower. It just so happened that the number one in the Golden Core Realm Beast Control in this Dao Conference was in Minister Cui's Spiritual Food Department. Qi wanted to transfer him to the Beast Control Department to assist in the Beast Control Department. Ministry work.”

When Cui Daqi heard this, his expression suddenly changed.

Song Dongyang frowned slightly, and then thought about it:

"You mean, the current deputy director of the Spiritual Food Department, Wang Yan?"

"That's right!"

Qi Yan nodded.

Song Dongyang pondered slightly:
"The number one beast master in the Golden Core Realm, it is indeed a bit wasteful to be in the Spiritual Food Department..."

"I disagree!"

Cui Daqi landed in front of Song Dongyang in a few steps, looking slightly excited.

Song Dongyang's attitude towards Cui Daqi was much more cordial, and he said with a smile:
"Minister Cui, hehe, don't worry... I remember that Deputy Minister Wang Yan's identity card hasn't come off yet. He is a newly promoted Jindan monk and is not of much value to your Spiritual Food Department. Why not... just transfer him to him?" How about the beast control department?”

Although he prefers Cui Daqi, his position requires him to consider the overall situation.

And beast-controlling talents like Wang Yan can indeed maximize their value by going to the beast-controlling department, which has a huge gap.

But Cui Daqi never let go: "Wang Yan is the best beast master, but he is also the second best spiritual chef in the Golden Core Realm."

"This……"

Song Dongyang wanted to say that that was not the same thing at all. Beast control was much more advanced than spiritual food, but it was not easy to bring this kind of thing to the table, so he quickly tried to persuade him.

However, no matter how much he tried to persuade him, Cui Daqi refused to let go.

Although he was the deputy palace master, he could not forcefully go against the minister's wishes. For a moment, he was a little angry at Cui Daqi's lack of cooperation:

"Minister Cui, Wang Yan is a Jindan who has not yet taken office. Is there anything that cannot be accomplished without him staying?"

It's hard to fool my eyes.

Cui Daqi glanced around, hesitated, and said:

"Palace Master Song and I will discuss this matter alone."

Song Dongyang was stunned for a moment, then glanced around and nodded:
"Everyone, please go back first!"

Seeing that Qi Yan was still reluctant to leave, he quickly dismissed:
"Minister Qi, you go back first, and I will talk to Minister Cui later."

Soon, only Song Dongyang and Cui Daqi were left in the palace.

After a few breaths, Song Dongyang's slightly surprised voice was heard:
"You said that the form you made was actually made by Wang Yan?"

"Ahem... Palace Master Song, please speak softly."

Cui Daqi said with a slight embarrassment.

Not far outside the hall, the dark-skinned Ma Shengxu glanced at the form in his hand, with a smile on his face:
"I still don't know who you are, Lao Cui, but it's really not enough for me to guess!"

"Our disciple will have to work hard now!"

……

evening.

The spiritual food department is in full swing.

Wang Yan, who had been practicing in the ministry for a day, placed the value on time.

After waiting for a while, Bu Chan was not seen. After thinking for a while, he simply released a transmission note to notify the other party, and then flew straight to Tiandao Peak.

　I don’t know why today, my head hurts a little, so I’m sorry for writing so much.
