It’s too dangerous to seize the direct descendant, so I choose to be the leader of the Demon Cult

Chapter 82 Stop!stop!Gonna be squeezed dry

After leaving Wangshu Palace, Zhao Ci did not stay. After brushing talismans at the city gate to no avail, he left the palace directly and rushed towards the Ministry of Household Affairs.

Wishes are really not something that can be obtained casually. The idea must be relatively strong, and the difficulty must be increased.

Recently, it has become increasingly difficult to brush the Money Eye Opening Talisman and the In-situ Gong Talisman.

If it's really that easy to farm, wouldn't it be better to just find a remote place in a remote place and just scatter coins?
Therefore, we still have to make big wishes and fulfill them in batches.

The elixir given by the emperor this time is definitely the biggest source of my comprehension value in a short period of time, as well as Yang Mo's golden wish. After getting these two big sources, and then making some scattered small wishes, I will be in the physical state before The necessary comprehension value should be enough.

Zhao Huan has delegated the trip of granting pills to Beisan County to the Ministry of Household Affairs.

It is said that they fought with the Zongren Mansion for a long time because the Zongren Mansion felt that this was just a process of spreading money and it was not difficult in itself, so they were only willing to regard it as a D-level task and put a price tag on it.

However, Zhao Huan argued that the public security in Beisan County was not good, and it would not be completely safe to bring so many expensive pills. Therefore, he should do two things for the main officer and one for the deputy.

The two sides were in a stalemate for a long time, and the clan government felt that this was a backdoor opened by Zhao Huan to Zhao Ci.

But in the end, Zhao Huan ended up victorious.

"It seems that not only is the comprehension value difficult to gain, but the achievement is also very difficult to gain!"

Zhao Ci felt a little bit pained. Just from the fierce fight between them, it could be seen that under normal circumstances, there was no way to price this task at two points, and subsequent tasks would only become more and more difficult.

And even this task is not easy to complete. It takes five days to go back and forth to Beisan County. In addition, it also consumes a lot of time there. The efficiency of earning achievements is appallingly low.

It seems that my previous order for elixirs was definitely a wise choice. As long as it operates normally, I can achieve at least two hundred points of merit this year, which will definitely make all the houses covetous.

Let alone other prefectures.

If it were Zhao Ci himself, he would be jealous.

This achievement is so difficult!

Let’s go to the household department first.

The carriage rushed all the way to Zekan Min Lane, where the official office of the Ministry of Household Affairs was located. After showing his waist badge, the gatekeeper immediately took Zhao Ci to the back office respectfully, made tea and let him rest for a while.

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, a member of the household department hurried over.

"Your Highness, I've been waiting for a long time! The Ministry of Finance is very busy today, and I can't get away for a while."

"Should be!"

Zhao Ci responded with a smile, without any harshness, and in fact, he was not qualified to be harsh.

After opening the palace, his external identity was that of an ordinary official. Before receiving the corresponding official position, he was not even a ninth-grade official. The preferential treatment he received as a prince would only remain in name.

Yuan Wailang is a serious seventh grade official, and he is willing to call himself a "lower official", which is already a great deal of face.

The Yuanwailang's name is Liu Qi, who is specifically responsible for the task docking of the household dispute department.

"Your Highness!"

Liu Qi sat next to Zhao Ci and placed a wooden box on the table and opened it: "Inside are the documents and envoys on your behalf to bestow elixirs on behalf of the emperor. Everything related to the elixirs you encountered along the way, you will be responsible for." We have the authority to require local officials to cooperate.”

Zhao Ci took out the emissary and gently rubbed it, feeling a warm feeling on his fingertips.

It looks like wood but not wood, looks like jade but not jade, and I don’t know what material it is made of.

He smiled and asked meaningfully: "No matter what I ask for, will they cooperate fully?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Qi did not answer immediately, but just shook his head and smiled.

Zhao Ci understood immediately. With Zhao Huan's long-established reputation, officials in the DPRK and localities could not help but violate the law, let alone a small envoy who bestowed pills.
With an envoy in hand, local officials dare not refuse to obey the order, but no one can guarantee whether it will be violated secretly.

He had long felt that this trip to Beisan County would not be completely smooth, but he was really unsure about where it would go wrong.

"Lord Liu! I am new here, and I don't know much about the government disputes. Please enlighten me on some things!"

"Your Highness is too polite. If you have any questions, just ask."

Liu Qi smiled and handed over his hand. He was a little curious in his heart. They said that the tenth prince's temperament changed drastically today. He was like a hedgehog with fried hair. He would prick anyone he caught. But when he saw him today, he felt quite polite.

Zhao Ci sighed softly: "If you want to ask them one by one, there are really too many questions. Speaking of which, the water in the three northern counties is too deep. I'm afraid I won't be able to grasp it. I always feel that if I take this batch of pills away, it will be too deep. Something unexpected happened."

Hearing what he said, the smile on Liu Qi's face couldn't help but become a little playful.

But after thinking about it, he still said: "Actually... if His Highness is willing to allocate the elixir directly to the local officials and let them distribute it themselves, this matter will be much smoother. But if His Highness wants to allocate the pills to civilians by name, there may be more problems. .”

He did not continue talking and kept the topic secret.

But after hearing this, Zhao Ci roughly understood what he meant.

Although Beisan County is not far from Linge, it is still two or three days away. Due to the suppression of the entrance to the ruins of the previous dynasty, people's livelihood is poor and public security is chaotic. The more chaotic the place, the greater the gray power of local officials.

As an elixir-gifting envoy, I am similar to an imperial envoy in name, but in fact my role is very limited.

Liu Qi was right. The most convenient way to do this kind of thing is to directly allocate the elixir to the local county guards and let them distribute it themselves. He only needs to provide symbolic supervision.

In this case, the reputation can be achieved by oneself, and the favor of the local officials can be obtained in vain.

Even worse, like Yongzi, although he distributed it himself, he distributed it directly to the local low-level officials. Although the space for gray operations was squeezed, he would not end up offending anyone.

But it is indeed a bit thankless for me to give everything to the common people like this.

In fact, he already had doubts in this regard after accepting Kan Luotang's wish, but he didn't elaborate on it.

But he didn’t feel like he should be timid!
Brushing the comprehension value is one aspect.

Fulfilling the promise to Kan Luotang is also one aspect.

It was destined that he had to do this.

There is no possibility of compromise.

In the entire Dayu, the only people who deserve to be dealt with by him are Zhao Huan, an old man, and Gu Xiangzhu, the devil sect's aunt.

Everyone else is just a bastard.

Who messed with me.

I'll do whoever it is!

"Thank you, Mr. Liu, for reminding me!"

"Where is your Highness?"

When Liu Qi saw that he did not continue to ask, he knew that he could not be unclear about the secret. He couldn't help but sigh: "Your Highness's benevolence, I admire you greatly. If this happens, it will be good news for the people of Beisan County. If Your Highness has already It’s decided, but do good things and don’t worry about your future!”

[Liu Qi’s current wish]: Zhao Ci’s trip to the three northern counties can deliver all the elixirs to the common people.Reward for wish completion: comprehension value +100, air of kindness and forgiveness x1.

Huh?
It’s not just a polite word!
Zhao Ci was a little surprised. He thought this was just a show of words, but he didn't expect that this was Liu Qi's heartfelt hope. It seems that Dayu still has capable ministers who care about the people.

He smiled and handed over his hands: "Then let me borrow Mr. Liu's good advice. In recent days, the Xingyu Pill Club has been fully powered. It can prepare the pills in seven days. The other pill workshops have deep foundations and should be faster. Hurry up, when can we set off?"

Liu Qi thought for a while: "The Ministry of Revenue received this task a few days ago and immediately notified the county guards of Beisan County. However, Beisan County has a large population. It is not an easy task to count up a suitable list of hundreds of people. .

When the statistics will be completed, the official is not very sure.

If His Highness needs a suggestion, the official's idea is to arrive at Beisan County as soon as possible, so as to urge local officials to make statistics as soon as possible. "

These words.

Said quite restrainedly.

But it's also very obvious.

According to statistics, the benefits will not fall on local officials, and the problem of lazy administration will definitely arise.

If you wait until they finish counting, you will have to wait until the year of the monkey.

Liu Qi was able to remind him of this, which can be regarded as the most benevolent thing.

Zhao Ci stood up, smiled and cupped his hands: "Thank you, Mr. Liu, for reminding me, I'll take my leave now!"

"Slow down, Your Highness!"

Liu Qi stood up to see them off, and waited until the carriage from the Tenth Prince's Palace had gone away before he withdrew his gaze.

He shook his head and smiled, then returned to the government office.

He is just a small member of the Communist Party of China, and he can only expect others to do many things.

……

After leaving the Hubu Yamen, Zhao Ci went straight to Xingyu Danhui.

To be precise, it is Xiang's Danfang.

Because now the alchemists of the entire Xingyu Alchemy Society are concentrated in Xiang's Alchemy Workshop.

After all, the core competitiveness of Xingyu Danhui relies on two things, one is pure alcohol, and the other is Xiaozhu Li.

The production capacity of alcohol can now cover the entire alchemy club, but there is only one Zhu Li, so all the famous alchemists are concentrated in Xiang's alchemy workshop.

When Zhao Ci arrived at the alchemy workshop, he went directly into the alchemy room.

After bypassing the entrance hall and opening the inner door, I felt an overwhelming heat wave coming over me.

There are a hundred alchemy furnaces in the huge alchemy room, and there is an alchemist sitting in front of each alchemy furnace, as if it has reached a state of full firepower.

Now, it’s time to close the furnace and quench the elixir.

Zhu Li was lying on the recliner, her palms bursting with fire, turning into sparks and throwing them into the flames of each alchemist.

A few operations, showing off the style of the assembly line queen.

However, this assembly line queen is not in a good condition right now.

He was leaning sleepily on the recliner, his face a little pale.

Zhao Ci was familiar with this look.

In his previous life, he showed up with the female Neptune for the first time, and they were not separated for 72 hours. This was the look on his face after that.

"Wucao! It's been hollowed out!"

Zhao Ci's heart tightened and he hurried forward. After Zhu Li finished distributing the flames, he hurriedly said: "My Zhu Li, this is not how you make elixirs. You will kill yourself if you squeeze yourself like this!"

As soon as he saw Zhao Ci coming.Zhu Li suddenly became energetic and waved his white fist: "How can you talk like that? Standing in front of you now is the only daughter of the head of the first alchemy family, the first alchemist of the Xingyu Dan Society, and the chief of the Ten Princes' Palace. Government official.

To put it bluntly, I am now raising the entire Xingyu Danhui and the Ten Princes’ Mansion!

Self-exploitation?

Only useless people will escape from self-exploitation!

work! "

[Zhu Li’s current wish]: To achieve supreme achievements, fulfill his long-cherished wish for his father, and help Zhao Ci win the first place in the government.Reward for completing the wish: Comprehension value +10000, awakening physique: Body of Fire Virtue.

A comprehension value of [-], and a body of fire virtue with the best physique of the fire system.

This reward is not insignificant.

It's just that this wish is equally difficult to fulfill, and it will take at least several years of hard work to reach the standard.

Zhao Ci: "..."

He suddenly felt a little warm in his eyes, and his tear glands felt the urge to pee.

He had heard Zhu Li call himself the chief government officer before, and he just wanted to laugh at her fondly.

But now, he will only give Zhu Li a thumbs up.

Glancing at Zhu Li's pricked head, he couldn't help but rub it.

"Then don't hurt your body!"

"..."

Zhu Li shrank her neck, and her pretty face couldn't help but blush.

Zhao Ci turned around and said loudly: "After this construction period, you must not overtax your body to refine elixirs. Even in the past few days, you must do what you can, especially for Zhu Zongsong. You must supervise her to have a good rest and at least work for a while. It’s a round of rest, have you heard it?”

"heard it!"

All the alchemists responded in unison.

Zhu Li was stunned for a moment and said a little unconvinced: "I really don't need to rest!"

Zhao Ci smiled and said: "Don't worry! You have such merits. If you collapse from exhaustion, I won't be happy even if the Ten Princes' Palace is the best among all."

Zhu Li: "..."

She wrinkled her white and tender nose and snorted.

He didn't express any opinions, just lowered his head slightly.

Zhao Ci didn't ask any more questions. It was related to Zhu Li's obsession. He couldn't ask too much now, but his attitude had changed slightly.

For him in the past, opening a mansion was just a way to improve himself. It really didn't matter whether he wanted to be first in the mansion or not.

But now it seems that in the future, we should also consider the goals of others.

"By the way, how is the production now?"

"Just use all your firepower!"

Zhu Li was quite excited: "It's just that the output of high-grade and medium-grade pills is too high. If I had gone all out to refine the low-grade Qi-Refining Pills, I would have collected [-] pills long ago."

Zhao Ci waved his hand: "There is no need to waste our production capacity for this."

"Too!"

Zhu Li nodded: "After a few days, I will go to Beisan County with you. I will burn anyone who dares to cause trouble!"

Zhao Ci shook his head and said with a smile: "No, just stay in Linge and refine alchemy. It's quite chaotic over there in Beisan County..."

Zhu Li frowned: "You look down on me? Do you think I will drag you down?"

Zhao Ci denied it flatly: "How is it possible? I just feel that when I leave you, I just lose a master to protect you. And if Xingyu Dan will leave you, it will immediately fall from a top-notch alchemy workshop to a shitty place. Are you right? ?”

As he spoke, he pointed at a group of alchemists who were working hard.

He added another question: "Do you think they can leave you?"

When Zhu Li heard this, he unconsciously wanted to raise the corners of his mouth, but he felt that as the chief official, being so moody and angry would make him look unworthy, so he tried his best to suppress the corners of his mouth.

Putting on a worried look, he sighed and said, "That's right! They can't live without me. Then you should be careful when you go out and don't let me worry too much."

Zhao Ci: "..."

It was at this time.

The sound of the stove top exploding came and went, and the alchemy room was filled with the fragrance of alchemy.

A figure walked over holding the pill.

"If Zhu Li doesn't go, I'll go with you!"

"Ok?"

Zhao Ci was a little surprised: "Yang Mo? Why are you making elixirs here too?"

There was no expression on Yang Mo's face: "I happen to have learned some alchemy, and I have nothing else to do, so I'm here to help. It's only low-grade, so don't mind."

As he spoke, he opened the jade bottle in his hand.

[Yang Mo’s current wish]: Get Zhao Ci’s approval and not be tortured by his parents after returning home.Reward for wish completion: Comprehension value +10, Torture Talisman X1.

Zhao Ci: "..."

He took the jade bottle, poured out a pill, and threw it directly into his mouth.

The medicinal power of the elixir is a bit thin, and even the taste of the elixir is not coherent, and some additional auxiliary drugs are added to barely bind the medicinal power together.

If the furnace was closed to quench the medicine, without Zhu Li's Yu Xinyan, he might not even be able to reach the standard of a low-grade Qi training pill.

Looking at Yang Mo's sweating face, it was obvious that he had exhausted all his strength.

Zhao Ci suddenly remembered that on the first day Feng Kucha entered the mansion, he went to Feng's mansion to find him and found that he was practicing secretly.

After being discovered, Feng Kucha almost became angry and told him not to look for him when he had nothing to do, because he felt that he looked like a clown when he tried hard to cultivate and failed. He even wanted to get Wan Mugen and his cultivation would soar in the future, making him look indifferent in front of others. Effortless.

This……

Geniuses are all geniuses alike.

Waste is wasteful in its own way.

but.

Yang Mo's mental pressure is obviously much greater than that of his brothers. How perverted must his parents be to leave such a big psychological shadow on him?

Zhao Ci put away the bottle, turned around Yang Mo's neck, and said with a smile: "Okay, Old Mo! I didn't expect you to have this skill. Why haven't I heard you mention it before? Are you hiding something secret from your brother?"

Yang Mo's tense spirit suddenly relaxed a lot, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "The main thing is really hard to do."

Zhao Ci waved his hand and said, "You don't have to decide whether you can use it or not. Just say 40 taels of each of these pills and put them outside. Will they be snatched up like crazy?"

Yang Mo felt the same, but he still felt that he was influenced by Zhu Li.

Zhao Cichong waved from afar: "Zhang Chongfeng, come here."

Zhang Gongfeng hurried over and found out that in the entire Xingyu Danfang, he had the deepest knowledge and seniority in alchemy. Although he was not as high in status as Zhu Li, he was actually in charge of things.

"Your Highness, what are your orders?"

"Has Young Master Yang registered as an alchemist?"

"Not yet, not yet!"

"Then hurry up and implement it. I remember that before the Gong Dan Conference, my mother-in-law ordered a batch of Dan robes and chose one for Mr. Yang to wear first."

"Yes!"

Zhang Gongfeng accepted the order and left quickly.

After a while, he came back with a set of alchemy robes.

[Tip]: The wish is fulfilled and you will get rewards: Comprehension value +10, Torture Talisman X1.

[Torture Talisman]: When attached to the target, it can amplify and double its negative senses and emotions for a quarter of an hour.

Yang Mo was at a loss as he held the alchemy robe, pointed at his nose and asked: "I, am I considered an alchemist?"

"if not?"

Zhao Ci asked back: "Hurry up and change your clothes. What you are wearing is really not suitable for alchemy. You will go home in this alchemy robe today."

Yang Mo: "!!!"

He was moved.

New subtitles are also born in my head.

[Yang Mo’s current wish]: The identity of this alchemist came too easily. I’m afraid it’s hard for my parents to believe it. I hope they won’t torture me for it.Reward for wish completion: Comprehension value +10, Torture Talisman X1.

Zhao Ci: "???"

Damn!

Without recognition, you are tortured.

You got recognition and you were tortured.

Then this recognition is not free for you?

I have to torture my son no matter what.

This forces parents.

No matter what!
