"Swish, swish, swish!"
A chubby little mole started working from side to side, its claws flying together, and soon a passage dozens of feet long was dug out.
Qiu Ping watched from the side, secretly admiring in his heart.
It seems that we have underestimated all creatures in the world. This mole's burrowing ability is not at all inferior to that of our loaches.
"In the future, we will have to recruit more temporary workers like this, get less, and work hard."
After all, the three southwest prefectures cover a vast area, and it would take years to excavate an underground network covering so many prefectures and counties.
Therefore, temporary workers must be found, and the cost of hiring a mole is only a quarter of that of a normal loach soldier. When the time comes, you can find any excuse and apply for a batch of allocations, and you can even the account.
The most important thing is that temporary workers do not need to be established, and they do not occupy Shinto quotas. What a cost-effective deal this is.
Qiu Ping smacked his lips and felt that this plan was feasible. When the time comes, he would ask the little mole to introduce all his relatives and friends.
The little mole now gets one wisp of incense every month, and others will be paid half a wisp of incense, and they can get a meal if they are willing to work.
…
"Prince, things are different now. When we enter the land, we should be careful.
In the clouds above Qingzhou, there are rolling waves, and eight sea horses are pulling a chariot, moving quickly through the water with lightning speed.
And inside the chariot, an old man wearing tortoise shell and a mustache was exchanging words with the young man next to him.
The young man was wearing a golden robe and had two horns on his forehead, and he looked very mysterious. But at this moment, his brows contained a sinister look, and his mood was obviously bad.
"Turtle phase, I understand."
The young man nodded, suppressing his inner dissatisfaction.
If Qiu Ping were here, he would naturally recognize that this young man is Ao Cang, the Thirteenth Prince of the East China Sea.
Ao Cang was upset. He was originally the thirteenth prince respected by the East China Sea, but a few days ago, the former dynasty's son Long Sun suddenly set up a new banner and went out of the East China Sea.
Although Donghai tried his best to suppress it, the result was that the more he fought, the stronger his opponent became. Even though several masters of the Immortal level from the East China Sea were deployed, it was not effective. Instead, an old crab among the rebels killed one of the masters, causing a huge drop in morale.
At this juncture, his father, the Dragon King of the East China Sea, could not suppress his injuries and was in seclusion. The dragon clan from the other three seas wanted to come over to help, but there was a fire in the backyard and they had too much time to take care of themselves.
At this time, King Meiling of the Human Shinto agreed to send troops to assist Donghai, but the price was that Donghai needed to send some real dragons to the land to serve as Shinto officials.
Although Donghai seriously suspected that the remains of the inexplicably missing Suiguan Emperor were stolen by Shinto, they had no evidence, not to mention the current internal and external troubles in Donghai, and no one wanted to provoke a powerful enemy for nothing.
They had no choice but to agree to Shinto's request.
A part of the [Holy Fetus] and even the true dragons of the following realms were sent into the land. Ao Cang is also one of the expatriate true dragons.
Any true dragon in the [Yuan Shen] realm is the backbone of the dragon clan and the main force in destroying the rebels. Naturally, they cannot leave the East China Sea and can only find these juniors.
"Prince, we are here."
The waves in the sky stopped, the tail of the seahorse pulling the cart swung, and they all fell to the ground.
"Prince, the human world is barren and spiritual essence is lacking. This period of time has been hard on you. Once we quell the rebellion, we will take you back as soon as possible."
Turtle Xiang looked at the low thatched house, the dusty road, and the palm-sized pond in front of him, and he couldn't help crying.
The Thirteenth Prince grew up in fine clothes and fine food, how could he endure such hardships?
King Mingling is really cruel. Since he invited our prince to be an official, how could he be granted a title in such a remote place?
When I get back, I have to ask someone to bring a message to King Minngling, or at least find another job.
"Ahead is the passage between the two realms. Let's go there quickly." Ao Cang didn't think so. Although the environment in front of him was a little worse, he was going to Abi Hell to serve as a transit envoy and would live in the Yin City. Live in a thatched hut.
Turtle Xiang wiped the corners of his eyes, then the waves piled up, and the chariot continued to move forward.
They soon stepped into the passage between the two realms, the chariot and chariot were speeding, and they arrived in Yin City in a blink of an eye.
Against the black and white background, the continuous Yin City crawls like a giant snake on the flat and desolate plain.
Above the city gate, the name of [Ninth Transportation Department] suddenly pops into view.
Although this city is far inferior to Dragon Palace, it is still much better than that remote countryside.
Just as he was riding in the sedan chair and had just walked out of the passage between the two realms, a banner was suddenly pulled up in front of him, with the words "Abi Hell Welcomes You" written on it.
Then, groups of little loaches with dull eyes and stupid faces walked up with their heads held high, waiting for the inspection of the new officials.
Seeing this scene, Ao Cang's head actually felt a "buzzing" sound, and the deepest string in his brain was pried.
His body trembled slightly, and everything he saw was filled with loaches.
Loach, loach, loach...
He suddenly felt dizzy.
"We sincerely welcome the transfer envoy to take up his duties. All our colleagues in the Ninth Transfer Department are waiting here." Judge Cui, who was tall and wore half a red mask on his face, stepped forward and said respectfully to Ao Cang.
"welcome!"
A group of loach soldiers started beating gongs and drums with great enthusiasm, but Abi Hell could not spread the sound. Ao Cang only saw these little loaches knocking around like a bunch of fools.
Ao Cang twitched the corner of his mouth. What the hell is this place? Did I stab a loach's nest? Also, whose shrimp soldiers and crabs will be served by loaches? Does this thing have combat effectiveness?
Of course, he soon realized that loaches were not only capable of fighting, but also fierce.
Whether it was the one he met in [Wan Loach Garden] or the one he met at the [Shuiguan Disaster Relief Conference] last time, they were all fierce.
Ao Cang nodded stiffly. He had already made up his mind. After he officially took office, he would replace all the loach soldiers with his own trusted followers.
Otherwise, how can we manage the transportation department well if we stay with these loaches all day long?
…
"What? There are officials from above who want to come down to inspect?"
Ao Cang had just taken control of the transfer envoy when he heard Cui Fan brought him news.
He looked a little uncomfortable. He had been the noble thirteenth prince of the Dragon Palace since he was a child, and now he was asked to grovel and serve others. He couldn't bear to look like this.
"According to the rules, you have to come out to greet us. [Tiju Department] is the superior office of our transportation department, and [Zhuolongguan Tiju] is also your direct superior. If the superior is dissatisfied, I'm afraid there will be problems with the evaluation."
Judge Cui now transformed into a newcomer's assistant, teaching Ao Cang, a novice in officialdom, how to deal with things in officialdom.
If in the past, Ao Cang himself didn't care about the examination of Lao Shizi and could not do well in the transshipment department, he could just go back to Donghai and become the prince and inherit such a great family business.
But now the East China Sea is in danger, and King Mingling needs to take action. If he refuses to cooperate, I am afraid that the situation in the East China Sea will continue to deteriorate.
"what should I do?"
Ao Cang took a deep breath and clenched his palms slightly, but decided to compromise with reality.
A smile appeared on Judge Cui's face, he clapped his hands gently, and then a loach soldier rushed in holding a tray.
A banner was placed on the tray.
[Welcome to Abi Hell].
Qiu Ping walked out of the passage between the two realms with a swollen belly and a square step.
His eyes were tilted forty-five degrees and looked forward. Although every plant and tree in front of him was familiar, it still felt like he had lived there for many years.
After being apart for a few days, when I came back, my mentality was already different.
In the past, I was always greeting others, but now it is finally my turn to be the leader. This feeling...
It’s so cool!
Little Loach looked up at the banner at the door and felt a sense of emotion in his heart. This is an old actor.
"I've seen... I've seen..."
In the crowd, Ao Cang was preparing to greet his boss according to Judge Cui's instructions.
But when he saw that it was Qiu Ping, his words were stuck in his throat and he couldn't say a single sentence.
He looked around and then looked ahead. There were loaches everywhere, which made him feel even more uncomfortable and dizzy.
"I have met Master Tiju. Master Tiju will enjoy immortal blessings forever, and his life span will be as long as the sky!"
At this moment, a high-pitched voice came from his lower right side.
Ao Cang only saw a palm-sized mouse, bowing its body with a flattering smile on its face and delivering a welcome speech in a loud voice.
The little mouse's upper body was almost touching the ground, and its buttocks were raised high. It was disgusting to be as respectful as possible.
Ao Cang felt a chill in his eyes.
"Huh? Your name is... Qu..."
"Little God Qu Jingjing. Just call me Xiao Qu. I used to work for your old man as an errand." The little mouse was very discerning and hurriedly came closer and said.
"Not bad, not bad, Xiao Qu is a good seedling. We in Shinto need such a group of young and energetic gods." The little loach looked around, and when no one answered, he reached out and patted the little mouse on the head. shoot.
The shrew's neck was stiff, its face was red, and its body was trembling slightly, as if it had been greatly honored.
"The little god is willing to do his best to lift you up!"
He assured loudly that as a member of a bureaucratic family whose ancestors had been officials in the Shinto system for generations, he still had this bit of vision.
Qiu Ping nodded. It seemed that the little shrew was a bit unqualified to be a B-level resource point. He had to be promoted to a higher level, at least to the seventh level.
Only in this way can he continue to control the [Ninth Transportation Department].
After all, this is my base camp, so I can't lose it.
"Hey, what kind of job does this young junior do?" Qiu Ping took a few steps forward and asked curiously as if he was seeing Ao Cang for the first time.
Ao Cang clenched his fists, his face turning red and blue. Last time at the [Shuiguan Disaster Relief Conference], he had just been beaten by the loach in front of him. Did he forget about himself in the blink of an eye?
"Your Majesty... the Ninth Transport Department's Transport Envoy... Ao Cang, I have seen Mr. Tiji... the Great..."
Ao Cang had never been so humble in his life. If he hadn't considered living under someone else's roof, or if he hadn't been able to defeat this loach, he would have exploded.
"Oh, it turns out he's still a stammer. Our Shinto selection of officials is becoming more and more casual."
Qiu Ping's words made Ao Cang so angry that he almost vomited blood.
Disgusting loach!
"If you follow my admissions method, you can simulate the imperial examination in the human world. You will take the written test first to test your merit. Then you will take the interview to see how you look and what you say."
"We Shinto shepherds and hunts all the people, so we should be more cautious in selecting officials and talents."
Qiu Ping was talking casually. As a leader, you always have to give some opinions that are relevant or not, so as to show your sense of existence.
His words were unintentional, but they made Judge Cui next to him feel moved.
Although the imperial examination had been conducted in the human world a hundred and twenty years ago, there had never been such a measure in Shinto. At most, they can just mark some reading seeds in advance, and after their death, they will be extradited to Shinto.
However, what Qiu Ping just said provides a new way of thinking for Shinto.
"Sir Tiju, in the Shinto, most spirits are born ignorant, and most of them can't even write their names. If the assessment is started, I'm afraid not many people in a county can pass it."
Judge Cui bowed slightly and asked his doubts.
"Then we should imitate private schools in the human world and let little monsters go to school? Anyway, after monsters become spiritually enlightened, their innate wisdom will not be weaker than that of human children. As long as you tell them that they can become officials after studying, there will definitely be many parents forcing little monsters to come. read."
"Besides, it's not up to us to decide what to teach in the school. We can not only teach magic, but also morality and righteousness, even loyalty to Shinto. Only when the ideological level is unified, will they truly follow We are of the same mind.
"Let me tell you, if we don't arrest this position of thought, it will be occupied by others... Hmm..."
Little Loach casually said that since he had already entered the establishment, he didn't have to worry about the exam, so he just dug holes for the juniors.
However, before he could finish speaking, his mouth suddenly became mushy and he couldn't speak a single word.
"Okay, no need to say any more. This is a plan for you, and I will give you a chance when the time comes."
A voice echoed in Qiu Ping's mind. When he recovered, he found that he could speak.
who! Who just plotted against me?
The little loach was talking happily when someone suddenly pinched his mouth. He was not happy at all.
"Master Tiju is really a talented person, but he gave us some guidance in just a few words. If this method can really be implemented, there is no doubt that it will increase my luck in Shinto in the future."
"It's just that what I said today is quite important, so please don't spread it to outsiders."
Judge Cui spoke respectfully. Although he seemed to be talking to Qiu Ping, in fact he was secretly warning the others that what he said today should not be spread outside.
Although Qiu Ping's method seems simple, if it is really implemented, it will definitely make the people, ghosts, and monsters in the world return to their hearts, and make the foundation of Shinto deeper.
It has a great influence on Shinto.
The little loach's eyes were a little confused. What did I just say? I just ran a few train lines, is it that exaggerated?
What he proposed was not a shocking move. Didn’t there already be imperial examinations in this world?
Qiu Ping couldn't understand.
However, he himself is also a rough-and-tumble person. When he encounters something that he cannot understand, he jumps directly over it.
Anyway, he still remembered that the voice in his head promised him an opportunity.
However, how to cash in on this opportunity?
Two chapters in one! Four thousand chapters!
