At six o'clock in the evening, another courier arrived. He rang the doorbell of Shangluo's house:
"Excuse me, Shangluo first."
Before he finished speaking, Shangluo opened the door. This time it's not the courier from before, it's Fuwei Express. This company's main business is not in Yujing, so it is not as fast as other companies that directly use pneumatic transmission systems, but it was also delivered on the same day.
"Yes, Douzi?"
"It does sound like beans. They are packed in a small plastic bucket and weigh ten pounds. Do you want to sign for them?"
"Are you not going to deliver goods today?"
"No, I'm off work at this time."
Shangluo took out the seal, stamped it with one hand and carried back the plastic bucket wrapped in oil paper with the other.
He carried the bucket to the table in the living room and opened the oil paper package.
Sure enough, it was full of beans. And they are not piled together, but divided into layers and compartments, sitting neatly in their seats like a honeycomb.
He sat down on the sofa and asked Phaethon next to him: "So that's what the phone is for, right?"
"Yes. And I weighed the beans and found that the total amount of these beans is nearly thirty kilograms. There are all yellow beans, broad beans, mung beans, and red beans. After converting the weight of the beans, the total number is about one hundred thousand."
Shangluo slapped himself on the head.
Suddenly, the phone rang.
There was a familiar voice on the other end of the phone, it was Jin Yiwei's transfer station.
"Hey, is this the residence of His Excellency Chi Shijun and Marshal Zhongtan?" The radio station completely changed its tone, which seemed to be due to the redistribution of staff.
"Shishijun?" Shangluo remembered that Daozu called him "Shishishi", but this was just a difference in title.
"Yes, it's me, what's the matter?"
"As of now, have there been one hundred and ninety-nine thousand three hundred and thirteen heavenly soldiers and generals applying for employment at your residence?"
"There are probably so many. Why so many?"
"Because yesterday we had a party to welcome Marshal Zhongtan. Then we ate your tin can food. Then we came."
"But why are there so many here? Are there so many Tianyi nobles in the capital?"
"Mainly everyone who works in Huangceku. In addition, we have already reported it to Daozu, who agreed to let everyone come. Well, so please arrange a place for everyone. That's it."
The phone hung up with a bang - not three seconds later, another call came with a bang:
"Shangluo!" Zhu Xianfen shouted on the other end of the phone, "Something big has happened! All the Tianyi nobles in Huangceku have escaped! They were still there yesterday. They said they had a dinner party yesterday, but they disappeared this morning. It's over. It’s over, you have to tell Daozu about this, right??? At your place? Daozu already knows? Daozu personally approved it? Ah, that’s okay, that’s okay. Wait, let’s discuss the plan first, you ask them first Are you willing to go back?"
"Ah" Shangluo covered his head again, "Miss Apollonia, your Excellency, Marshal Zhongtan, can you ask them what they want to do?"
[Wait a minute, I'm recruiting them for one hundred and nine thousand three hundred and thirteen. Let me pick a representative and say yes. Okay, picked. Pick up the third bobbin from the left on the table. 】
"This?" Shangluo asked, holding up the tube.
[Yes, that’s it. Then you put the lid on the tube and shake it hard, shake it hard. 】
"Is this so?" He held the tube and shook it for a long time.
【okay. They decided to randomly select a person, so now just open the tube, take out the top broad bean, and let him represent it. 】
When you open the tube, the first layer is full of mung beans, soybeans, and red beans, with only one broad bean floating on top.
"You are quite efficient. Where should I put them?"
[Just put it inside the camera. Then give it to those acquaintances and they will help you get it right. They can add some special effects - although Tianyi Noble Man himself has no image, they can draw it. 】
Finding a blank wall, Shangluo started the camera.
On the ink painting, a ball of ink began to twist. At first it was just black and white, then red was added. The writhing paint forms an oval-shaped broad bean figurine with tiny arms and legs, holding a pen. The broad bean man also had eyes as big as sesame seeds and stared outside the screen for a while.
"Hey, hey, hey? Can you hear me?"
"Um, I heard you." Shangluo was sitting behind the box, "Can you see me?"
"Ah, I see it, I see it. I hear your voice well, can you hear my voice?"
This feels weird. Because what is projected on the wall is just a picture, the box itself cannot capture Shangluo sitting behind it. At this time, the picture on the wall seemed to have opened a window to the "small world", and the noble Tianyi in the picture seemed to be sitting at the window talking.
"No problem, you can talk. Who is your Excellency?"
"I am the deputy general of the forward battalion of the Lei Zhen Army on the left wing!"
"What the hell? Who are you?"
"Reporting to Chi Shijun and the marshal, I am the deputy general of the forward battalion of the left-wing Lei Zhen Army!"
"Um, I call you former junior general?"
"Are you going to promote me from the deputy general of the forward battalion to the junior general of the forward battalion!!!"
"Um, okay?" Shangluo tilted his head, and he didn't know how to answer.
"Okay!" The former young general jumped up, "Ah, yes, yes, say something, say something. Your Excellency Chi Shijun, we are here to answer the call! Please give the order!"
"What order am I giving? You have as many as one hundred thousand, how can I afford your wages?"
"No wages are required. We come here on our own initiative, so we can work first and then settle the bill."
"No, no, that's not my problem. It's that I don't have that much work here - so why are you all coming here all of a sudden?"
"We need to eat Qi. If you stay with Shishijun, you can eat auspicious Qi. Yesterday, several members of the right-wing Diancha Army were promoted to Heavenly Generals, which means that if you stay by your side, you will be full! So we all come here Yes. Give the order, Your Excellency!"
"Ah" Shangluo's head hurt a little, "Huang Ceku is asking you to go back."
"Then you can send us to work in Huangceku. As long as you agree to move us into the Lei Department, we have already prepared the numbers of the fifth battalion of soldiers and horses."
[Yes, they just asked me about the number. 】
"Okay, okay I'll give you an order, you all go back to where you were."
Before he finished speaking, Shangluo suddenly thought.
"By the way, how are your acting skills?"
"Our acting skills are as good as those of Marshal Zhongtan!"
"That's it."
[If your acting skills are not good, you can practice! Do you have any requests? 】
"That's what I think." Shangluo sat up, "I don't know what you think about being an 'extras', because we just need to arrange a plot in Hu Zhongtian and need some extras to play NPCs and monsters. There are other friendly, neutral, hostile creatures and so on. I wonder if you have the idea of going to work in the Huzhongtian for a while, so that we can immediately start the internal testing of the Pure Land. If the Pure Land can be run, your The treatment is naturally negotiable."
