"Not bad, not bad. In just a few hours, I have made dozens of Canglan!" Xu Qiaofu looked at the Canglan in his hand with great satisfaction, and then heard a faint voice behind him saying, "Master, your old man's life has been over." Are your lives so miserable?"
"Who is it!" Xu Qiaofu was startled. As an author with an official rank, no one could quietly touch his back and speak.
Then he turned around and saw Liu Xu's handsome face.
"Good apprentice, why are you here!" Xu Qiaofu exclaimed, then subconsciously stuffed Canglan in his pants, and said with a smile, "Apprentice, you see, I am a master here to support your movie. It’s powerful enough!”
"If you are so awesome, why didn't you come to the premiere?" Liu Xu's tone was very resentful.
Since Xu Qiaofu was transferred, the interaction between Liu Xu and Xu Qiaofu has been significantly reduced. But Xu Qiaofu is Liu Xu's master no matter what, and for Liu Xu to have the strength he has today, Xu Qiaofu's help back then was extremely important.
So during the premiere ceremony, Liu Xu sent an invitation to Xu Qiaofu immediately, and Liu Xu thought that Xu Qiaofu would at least come to support him, but in the end he was nowhere to be seen. Liu Xu could only sigh, thinking that he and This master is gradually drifting away.
Unexpectedly, I saw Xu Woodcutter gathering his own wool here.
"It's very simple, because I think the same as that lucky old man, you shouldn't make any movies. You are happy, but the consequences are endless, so I don't want to attend your premiere ceremony. You help that Stinky old man Fengshen, isn't it different that he didn't come to your premiere?" Xu Qiaofu said lightly, and Liu Xu felt uncomfortable in his heart. He didn't expect that his initial guide had the same attitude.
"Okay, if there's nothing else, I'll leave first. You can take care of yourself!" Xu Woodman was about to leave after saying that. However, Liu Xu looked at the other person's back and suddenly discovered a problem, so he stepped aside and blocked the way. Xu Qiaofu said in front of him, "No, Master, if you don't support me in making movies, then why do you arrange for people to sell tickets here and send more viewers to watch the movie? You shouldn't stop them from watching the movie, right?"
"..." Xu Qiaofu's face turned bright red, but he understood that there was no point in explaining too much and would only make himself more and more embarrassed, because what he did was really embarrassing, so Xu Qiaofu directly showed his master's aura and said "You evil disciple, you dare to make fun of Master, do you want to rebel?"
"Okay!" Liu Xu shook his shoulders, and then said to Xu Woodcutter, "Teacher, for various reasons, I neglected you before. Now students are different, and they are somewhat capable. Master, if you need help with anything, Please feel free to say so and students will do their best!”
"Take care of yourself and don't fall into the biggest trap in the world. Even you are lucky!" Xu Qiaofu waved his hand and left in an extremely chic manner.
Liu Xu did not choose to pursue his master, but directly called the God of Qiankun, told him everything about his encounter with Xu Qiaofu today, and then asked the God of Qiankun for the specific reasons.
After all, the only person who knows Xu Woodcutter best is the Great God Qiankun.
Sure enough, the Great God Qiankun sighed and said, "What other reason could there be? Of course I am poor!"
"Poor!" Hearing this word, Liu Xu couldn't help but feel a little incredible. "Master, he is also an author with a fifth-level official title. He is now the dean of the Academy of Literature in Wenzhen City and the second-in-command of Wenzhen City. How could he be poor? Woolen cloth?"
"Why would you earn an income of 0.1 Canglan if you are not poor?" God Qiankun sighed again. "If you are just the dean of the liberal arts academy in an ordinary city, you will naturally not be poor. But if you are the dean of the liberal arts academy in Wenzhen City, That would be too poor.”
"You also know that there was a big chaos in Wenzhen City last year. Half of the city was captured by the reflecting creatures. It took more than thirty holy authors to take action, plus the power of two great gods, to calm down the entire reflecting incident. . But the losses in Wenzhen City were too serious, with 1/4 of the city destroyed and 200,000 casualties. What’s more important is that almost all economic and agricultural facilities outside the city were destroyed by the Yingzhi creatures.”
"This means that although the city has recovered the food, it cannot be self-sufficient at all... No, it can no longer be described as self-sufficient. The output is completely zero."
"And all this will take time to recover, and at the same time a large number of ordinary people will be required to work outside the city, which requires the protection of contracted authors. It's just that the contracted authors of Wenzhen City themselves have suffered heavy losses, otherwise they wouldn't have given up the old woodcutter. After taking it out, it is said that the remaining contracted authors in Wenzhen City are only 2/3 of what they were before, and 1/3 of them died on the battlefield."
"So Wenzhen City has no power to protect citizens who go out. In the end, it can only take small-scale actions and protection to restore agricultural and industrial resources outside the city bit by bit."
"This is estimated to take at least 10 years. It also means that the entire Wenzhen City will not be able to feed itself within 10 years. Although the Writers Association has tried its best to distribute some food to them, it is still far from enough. Wenzhen City We can only buy food from other cities."
"This results in Wenzhen City spending hundreds of thousands of Canglan to buy various foods every day, which amounts to several hundred million a year. This expenditure is unbearable for Wenzhen City. In desperation, Wenzhen City can only do its best The reduction in spending has almost stopped 80% of public expenditures, and only the resources needed to maintain the basic operation of the city."
"Then the Liberal Arts School became the first example to be axed. 95% of the budget of the entire Liberal Arts School was cut. The remaining 5% was far from enough to maintain some infrastructure, let alone pay salaries to the teachers. Category."
"In addition, the Writers Association of Wenzhen City has deducted 60% of the wages and task remuneration of all authors, which has resulted in every author in Wenzhen City living a very difficult life. As the dean, Xu Qiaofu spent all his income He gave up. At the same time, he had to spend tens of thousands of dollars every month to maintain the basic operation of the liberal arts college, pay salaries to the teachers of the liberal arts college, ensure the food supply of the college students, etc. His life was very good. It’s difficult, indeed every piece of Canglan must be broken into pieces to make a careful calculation.”
"Speaking of which, when you held the premiere ceremony a few days ago, he sent me a message on OO and asked me if I could lend him 100 Canglan to buy the air ticket for the ground-effect aircraft."
"I lowered my head and prepared to transfer money to him, but within two seconds, he directly withdrew the message. I knew what kind of person he was, so I didn't say anything else, otherwise it would just hurt his self-esteem. That’s it!” God Qiankun finally said with emotion.
