Chapter 196 Voluntary Overtime Burner
"This guy actually wants to reduce the tax on crops next year, because he went to a Taoist priest to ask for divination and found that the weather conditions next year are not good enough for crops to grow smoothly?"
Gu Sanqiu simply crumpled up the document, including the additional material about the alchemist's life and battle records, and threw it aside.
"Why didn't he tell me that he found a Taoist priest who said that tomorrow's good weather and good harvests would be a good omen for the whole world, so he asked him to take over the throne of the Rock King?"
"And this, a love letter from a young master in Yujingtai was sent to you. Are those people really working hard? Or how much money did they receive?"
"What's wrong with that? Just a letter can help them reduce their burden of life. That's good."
"Well, it seems that you are more aware."
"Does the young master of Yujingtai need me to use some tricks to deal with him?"
"Don't mess around."
Gu Sanqiu looked at Ningguang who was standing aside and said, "Okay, okay, but sister, how come even such a strange document related to alchemists could be sent to the Jade Pavilion? Are you sure it's not something some idiot is using to have fun?"
"The person who submitted this document is a major agricultural producer. Fifteen percent of Liyue's crop output is under his name, so we still need to give some respect to the document he submitted."
Ningguang was very calm: "Don't pay attention to the contents of the document. As for the so-called alchemist, just ask someone to investigate. If he can get close to such a wealthy merchant and even convince him, if he doesn't have real ability, then he must be the work of an evil spirit."
"And there is another possibility, that is, this merchant has discovered that there is something wrong with the alchemist, but is unable to deal with it due to other reasons. He is seeking help from us in this way."
"Is there a demon?"
Gu Sanqiu became more excited: "Do you want me to take action now and conduct a thorough search of that family in the name of cultivation?"
"By then, let alone evil spirits and alchemists, we can find all kinds of evidence of that guy's tax evasion, bribery and oppression. How about that?"
"Don't mess around. This is a document that came through official channels. If you, a guy without an official identity, rush over and rashly search it, it will easily cause conflicts or make some people wary."
Ningguang took a sip of tea and said, "Keep the main documents and just throw away the remaining additional materials."
“Can these things still be kept?”
Gu Sanqiu was stunned after picking up another file: "For throwing away garbage?"
"Xiangjun, that's not throwing away garbage. Isn't the name Qun Yu Piao Xue a good one?"
"Oh, actually, to me, this behavior is no different from throwing away garbage, believe me."
Gu Sanqiu shrugged. "But you have a trick up your sleeve, sister. You can deceive people with this kind of fake information. No matter which direction the policy goes, it will be good for Liyue's overall economy."
"This is not a lie. In a sense, this information is true."
Ningguang said: "As long as someone can get this part, whether it is to increase economic investment in crops or to reduce funds to do other things, they can adapt to the situation and reduce cost losses. At least it is better to be mentally prepared than to foolishly wait for policy adjustments."
"Oh, well, when I told Tartaglia to spread the plague, I actually wanted him to go explore the medicinal materials field in Liyue, to increase Bubulu's performance and keep Baishu busy."
Gu Sanqiu came back to his senses: "Does this mean that there will really be changes to agricultural policies next year?"
"Almost. The people in the secret library have made some preliminary progress on the projects you mentioned last time. Maybe that wealthy merchant has some connections in the secret library, so they started to consider the climate issue."
"Moreover, these contents are real or fake. Some of the projects involved have nothing to do with the people who get them, but this can also be used as a hard currency for bartering in a short period of time."
"Well, you guys are the ones who know how to play, and I'll just continue reviewing the documents honestly."
With the help of Gu Sanqiu, the documents piled up in the Qun Yu Pavilion were quickly reviewed by the five people. The useful ones were put aside, and the useless ones were thrown aside and piled up .
According to what Ningguang and the others had done before, this pile of stuff would either be used as firewood or treated as false news when it snowed.
"Alas, this is just one day's supply. You guys are pretty good at this. If I had to spend all day and all night reviewing documents and making policy adjustments in a place like this, I would rather go out into the wild and fight evil spirits."
"Haha, thanks to Xiangjun for providing us Yuehai Pavilion staff with elixirs. Although the total workload is still a bit exhausting, our physical condition is still pretty good. We must thank you for that."
Another secretary, Bai Shi, smiled and said, "Of course, if we can lower the price of our Yue Hai Ting order a little, I believe more people will thank Xiang Jun."
"There's nothing I can do about it. The cost is there, and it's not something I can control."
Gu Sanqiu leaned on the table and said, "I've heard rumors that some people sold the elixirs that were distributed as welfare benefits to the cultivation lineage at a high price. Is that true?"
“Do we need to issue an order to ban it?”
When his sister said this, Gu Sanqiu already understood that someone had indeed done this.
"Forget it, it's just a small matter. As long as they don't come to me, everything is acceptable. I'll give them some pills, and it's also a good idea to let those guys study it and avoid causing trouble."
Gu Sanqiu now feels that it was a great decision made by his ancestors to give up his position as the leader of Xuanmen.
If my family still has this title now, a lot of problems might come up directly, making my already difficult life gradually become like that of a social animal.
"Xiang Jun, it stands to reason that as time goes by, the technology in both elixirs and talismans should continue to improve, but why are the things produced by the Gu family still so transcendent?"
"Ah, not quite."
Gu Sanqiu shook his head: "You don't understand this aspect. In fact, during the Demon God War, there was a trend among practitioners to study martial arts instead of immortal magic, because the former can be quickly transformed into combat power and put into the battlefield."
"After our victory, some sects may have chosen the path of martial arts, and their investment in the research of elixirs and talismans was even lower, and they only maintained the level of 'keeping up with the times and being able to use it'."
"The Gu family has been studying this area for a long time, which is why people outside who don't know much about it have such misunderstandings."
"There should be no shortage of schools of cultivation that delve into this area nowadays, but those sects are even more reclusive than my family, so generally speaking, they are hard to find."
"Most of those who want the elixir in my hand probably use it urgently for treatment and soothing the nerves, while a small number use it for research and improving strength."
"After all, if we buy at a high price, those guys won't have many projects to earn extra money in Minlin, so it will be difficult to do it in bulk."
"However, speaking of the evil spirits, we seem to have received a piece of information similar to a rumor some time ago. An adventurer discovered a large-scale evil spirit battle in the wild."
"And in the center of the battlefield is a beam of green light and a young man holding a spear. That can't be you, right?"
