Shen Wujiu is no longer in charge of a county special department. Instead, he was separated from his actual duties in the Special Affairs Department and was specifically responsible for handling all matters related to Zhang Yan. His title has been promoted one level higher than before, but the establishment is still in the Special Division, and he is now deputy commander.
Although it is not an actual position and he has no real power, Shen Wujiu's current prestige is not comparable to that of the former commander of a county special department. The amount of money he earned was countless times higher than before, and his status was also much higher. It’s no longer just those in the Special Division who are being contacted, the people involved are even spread across the entire human nation.
Whether it is the bone-strengthening pill or the ghost-catching bell, Shen Wujiu and his subordinates assist in receiving and transmitting it. He even has great power to advise on the allocation of some shares. Because he has frequent contact with Zhang Yan, he has the responsibility to observe Zhang Yan's likes and dislikes. Just casually mentioning "Mr. Zhang doesn't seem to like them" then the distribution of that country will have to be drastically cut.
Of course, although Shen Wujiu can use the above method to manipulate others without being easily discovered, he can benefit from it. But he has never done this once. His stable nature prevents him from overstepping his bounds. And compared with the benefits of staying with Mr. Zhang for a long time, how can other benefits be as good as it?
Shen Wujiu wasn't that calculating, but he wasn't stupid either. Enjoying the benefits brought by status, you are also careful about your steps to avoid making mistakes.
In the past, Shen Wujiu only had to stay in Langyuan City. But now he needs to take care of both Langyuan City and Changhu County. Of course, he has only been to Changhu County once. Currently, there is no road at all to the location of Mr. Zhang’s newly opened Shanmen Cliff Mountain, not even a mountain road. After going there once, he left a few people to contact the local government in the nearest big city to sort out the strategy for increasing official roads. However, it is impossible to implement it within a year. It will take at least three to five years until it is completed.
Shen Wujiu was shocked when he went to Duoya Mountain. He simply could not imagine that in such a deep mountain, Mr. Zhang and his apprentices could actually build such a magnificent building complex on the mountain in just two years. There are nine large palace-like buildings inside. Counting buildings such as pavilions and huts, there are probably no fewer than thirty.
How is this done? !
After returning, Shen Wujiu reported what he saw and heard, once again raising the magic level of Zhang Yan's sect. At the same time, it is also confirmed that Zhang Yan is now deliberately distancing himself from the miscellaneous studies. That's not to say cutting it off, but at least consciously letting people know that his ability is not just a miscellany.
Fortunately, the Zhang family is still in Langyuan City and has not moved. Mr. Zhang will come back to stay for a few days regularly to handle chores and accompany the old lady of the Zhang family.
This saves Shen Wujiu from the hardship of traveling long distances. You can visit Zhang Yan when he is in Corridor Yuancheng.
A few months ago, Shen Wujiu could see Zhang Yan every time. In recent months, it was not necessarily Zhang Yan who came to receive him. More often, it was Zhang Yan's eldest apprentice, Wang Nian.
Shen Wujiu also had to lament that time passed so quickly, and was also surprised by Mr. Zhang's miraculous skills and the speed at which Wang Nian grew up. Although he is still immature now, he can already vaguely feel the calmness and calmness in Wang Nian.
"Perhaps this Wang Nian will be the one who faces the outside world from Longhu Mountain Gate in the future?" Shen Wujiu thought.
It was the day of the month when Zhang Yan returned to Langyuan City. Shen Wujiu deliberately waited for a day before he brought the manpower, loaded all the packed things into the truck, and paid homage to the Zhang family in accordance with the rules.
"Brother Lao He. I wonder if Mr. Zhang is here today? Or Mr. Wang Nianxiao?" Shen Wujiu asked He Xianghong who opened the door with a smile as he walked. He has been here so many times that he has become very familiar with this slave of the Zhang family.
"Master Shen, today Master Wang Nian is here, and Master Liu Xin is also here."
"Well. Thank you Brother He. By the way, I passed by Brother He's hometown last time on business and took a look. Everything at home is fine. The old lady is fine..."
A few simple chats. Shen Wujiu came to the main room, laughed and walked in. He saw two children, Wang Nian and Liu Xin, already standing inside waiting for him. When he saw him coming in, he bowed his hands.
"Hahaha, don't take it seriously, don't take it seriously, Shen is going to trouble these two young gentlemen again."
"Master Shen, you are too polite. This is a task ordered by Master, and it is not a problem for us." Wang Nian acted like a young adult, imitating Zhang Yan's tone, and asked Shen Wujiu to sit down. Say a few polite words.
This is not the first time the two sides have come into contact. So without too much pleasantries, we quickly got to the point.
Liu Xin would go out and take stock of the ghost-catching bells that were loaded with ghost objects. Then Wang Nian would nod and give the same number of empty ghost-catching bells that were replaced with new spiritual stones. There will also be some extra quantity for Nanyuan Kingdom to take and distribute separately.
"Sir, these are the bone-strengthening pills for this month, twenty pills in total."
"Ah?! This... why are there so many?!" Shen Wujiu's calm expression suddenly lost its balance. Looking at the two black bottles in front of me with excitement, I didn't even dare to take them with my hands. He raised his head and looked at Wang Nian, who was sitting in the top position, with a look of surprise on his face and asked.
In the past, the number of bone-strengthening pills available was only five or six. Now there are so many more in one go? This had to make Shen Wujiu both surprised and worried at the same time. He was worried that Mr. Zhang would cut off the supply of this elixir and take out all the inventory, right?
Wang Nian explained: "Master Shen, the extra bone-strengthening pills this time were refined by my junior brother and I. Because we need to practice our hands, we refined more. I wonder if Master Shen can eat it?"
"You can eat it! You can definitely eat it! I didn't expect that it was refined by Mr. Xiao and the Thirteenth Prince. This is great! Please take care of Mr. Xiao in the future. No matter how much bone-strengthening pill there is, Nanyuan Kingdom can still eat it. Yes!" Shen Wujiu was so excited that his voice trembled. I never expected that Wang Nian and the Thirteenth Prince could already refine the Bone Strengthening Pill! This news itself is much more important than the twenty bone-strengthening pills in front of you!
Shen Wujiu was even sure that the reason why so many bone-strengthening pills were taken out must be because the Thirteenth Prince was involved in them. Nanyuan Kingdom’s waterside towers finally yielded another harvest!
Wang Nian was also relieved. Neither he nor Yang Rui knew how many bone-strengthening pills Nanyuan Kingdom could take. When they were practicing, they felt that the more the better, but they stopped after being reminded by Liu Xin and took out twenty pills. He and Yang Rui spent a lot of effort on these elixirs. Especially Yang Rui, he was slow to learn alchemy. He was almost burned by the fire of the furnace several times, and half of his hair has not grown back yet.
When everyone is happy, the routine routine of both parties is over. However, Shen Wujiu did not stand up and say goodbye as before. Instead, he approached Wang Nian and asked, "Sir, I wonder if Mr. Zhang is here? I still have some important matters that I want to meet with Mr. Zhang."
