Looking at Yan Guilai hesitantly, Liu Yan asked, "Is this really appropriate? Isn't this a bit too childish? This … won't have any negative effects on you, right? "
Shaking his head with a smile, Yan Guilai said, "First of all, the salary of the Ministry of Political Affairs is very low. Moreover … to be able to pass the sixth level, they definitely didn't pass it on their first try, right?"
Nodding, Liu Yan said, "Of course not. No matter how good their luck is, there's still a limit. If it's that easy to pass the sixth level, then it means that there's a problem with our selection method."
Spreading his hands, Yan Guilai said, "Isn't that enough? In any case, these people are all rich. What they care about is not the salary. Thus … even if the salary is low, they won't complain. "
Nodding in understanding, Liu Yan said, "If that's the case, this Ministry of Political Affairs inspection is actually just a nominal position for you."
Smiling at Liu Yan, Yan Guilai said, "That's right. I'll read their letters … but in general, unless they can prove that their existence is really valuable, this position is destined to be a nominal one."
While speaking, Yan Guilai gradually became serious. He said in a deep voice, "Don't think that I'm bending the law for personal gain. In fact … what I'm doing is using all means to select the human alchemy geniuses."
Yes, yes, yes …
Nodding repeatedly, Liu Yan said, "That's right. Without alchemy pills, who knows how long it will take to reach the Nirvana Realm just by relying on one's own cultivation? How can the human race fight against the demon army?"
Taking a deep breath, Yan Guilai said, "Next … I'll leave this work to you. No matter what … do everything possible to find all the super alchemy geniuses for me!"
Respectfully standing up, Liu Yan said, "Don't worry. Although there aren't many super alchemy geniuses left, I won't relax. I'll definitely do everything possible to find every single one of them."
Yan Guilai nodded with a smile and said, "Next … you have to buy a shop for me in a thousand cities. If you don't have enough money, I'll give you …"
No, no, no …
Liu Yan quickly waved her hand and said, "I have enough money. I definitely have enough money. Right now, I have more than fifty million taels of gold. On average, I have fifty thousand taels of gold in each city to buy shops. It is definitely enough."
As they spoke, Liu Yan frowned and said, "However, after so many years of development, the shops with better locations have already been occupied, especially the areas near the city center. They are basically owned by the Great Chu royalty."
Looking at Liu Yan with admiration, Yan Guilai said, "You don't have to worry about choosing a shop. I will allocate the best shop for you at the center of every city, at the location of the teleportation array plaza. You just have to prepare the money and hand over the shop. I will take care of the rest."
Hiss …
Hearing Yan Guilai's words, Liu Yan couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.
A thousand cities, a thousand best locations, and the most luxurious shops. Yan Guilai could allocate them with a single word. This was where the power of the Ministry of Government came from.
Looking worriedly at Yan Guilai, Liu Yan said, "This isn't good. I feel that … as the Chief Governor of the Ministry of Government, it is best for you to avoid this taboo."
Smiling coldly, Yan Guilai said, "Avoid this taboo? That doesn't exist … I do things pragmatically. Everything is done from the perspective of practicality and convenience. As for what other people think, whether they will misunderstand or not, that has nothing to do with me. "
However …
Looking hesitantly at Yan Guilai, Liu Yan said, "If you do this, the Great Chu royalty will have opinions about you. The commoners will also curse you. Even the military officials will be full of complaints."
Hearing Liu Yan's advice, Yan Guilai couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Indeed, this problem would definitely exist. However … if he didn't do this, many things would be too troublesome.
Yan Guilai planned to use these thousand shops to sell elixirs to the outside world.
Whether it was for civilian use or for military use, they would all be allocated from these thousand shops.
Therefore, the distance from the transportation spirit array was extremely important.
Once the location was too remote, it would be too troublesome and inconvenient. The time and energy wasted would be too great.
Actually, no matter where the shops were located, it wouldn't affect Yan Guilai much.
With the current level of human desire for elixirs, even if Yan Guilai opened his shops on the peak of a mountain, there would still be people coming to buy them.
However, for the buyers, it was really too inconvenient. After exiting the transportation spirit array, it would take a long time to reach their destination.
If it was a day or two, it would be fine. However, if it took a long time, it would definitely not be possible. Over the years, hundreds of millions of people added together, the time and energy wasted would be too great.
While thinking, Yan Guilai fiercely gritted his teeth and said decisively, "I don't care what others think. In short … I have a clear conscience. How about this … I won't spend money to buy them. Later, you go to the Ministry of Political Affairs and sign a lease contract. You will be the one to rent those thousand shops."
Nodding, Liu Yan said, "Although this will inevitably attract gossip and gossip, at least it's much better than buying them directly …"
Sighing and shaking his head, Yan Guilai said helplessly, "This world … Why is it so difficult to do something?"
Afterwards, under Yan Guilai's lead, Liu Yan rushed to the Ministry of Political Affairs' office and signed a contract to rent the thousand luxurious shops closest to the transportation spirit array.
Although the rental price was not cheap, and the monthly expenditure was incomparably huge, in comparison, the elixir industry was the most profitable industry. No matter how expensive the rental was, it was absolutely affordable.
After renting the shops, Yan Guilai and Liu Yan closed the door to discuss again. It must be known that … Just the shops were absolutely not enough. They had to be renovated, and a lot of counters and medicine cabinets had to be custom-made.
Otherwise, how could they put the elixirs in bottles and sell them on the ground like they were selling the Great Strength Pills?
In fact, Yan Guilai did not know the specific decoration style, the shape and specifications of the counters and medicine cabinets. Fortunately, Yan Guilai had acquaintances who were very clear about it.
This so-called acquaintance was none other than Dongfang Jiayan, Grandmaster Chai's wife.
At this time, Aoki University had stopped enrolling students, and the alchemists who were studying there were no longer being trained.
After all, without the medicinal ingredients provided by the Immemorial Pagoda, humans could no longer refine pills.
Without a source of medicinal ingredients, it was undoubtedly foolish to continue training alchemists.
Therefore, other than those elite alchemy geniuses, the other alchemists had been expelled from the Cyanwood Academy and transferred to other professions.
Therefore, Grandmaster Chai was now idle. Every day, he and his wife stayed in the pharmacy, refining pills in the secret room, and then selling them in the medicine shop.
With Chai Baisheng and Dongfang Jiayan's talent and ability, it was obviously too extravagant and wasteful to only run a small medicine shop.
There was no problem in asking the couple to come out and help run a thousand medicine shops.
Moreover … Yan Guilai, who was now half a step away from the Emperor Realm, could easily dispel the Sky-burning Demon Flame in Dongfang Jiayan's body.
After accepting the task, Liu Yan turned and left the Ministry of Political Affairs to complete all the tasks assigned by Yan Guilai.
On the other hand, after seeing Liu Yan off, Yan Guilai did not dare to delay. He hurried back to his bedroom and fell asleep.
