Time flickered, and more than a month passed.

During this period, Zhang Mu successfully refined the fourth space of the demon refining pot.

The size of this space is more than double that of the third, reaching more than 8,000 zhang in length.

The top and bottom of the inside are all gray, and the illusionary terrain is also criss-crossed, which is almost the same as the situation in the demon cave.

Zhang Mu landed on a mountain rock, looked at the bloody surroundings, and inspected back and forth, and found that there were nearly 100,000 ordinary corpse demons left in it, as well as eighteen iron-refining corpse demons with low spiritual intelligence.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Mu thought for a while, and decided not to get rid of these corpse demons for the time being, planning to let Shui Wuya and Lishang use these corpse demons to hone their fighting ability, until they clean it up, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.

Zhang Mu made a decision and easily took the eighteen iron-smelting corpse demons inside out, preparing to refine these low-minded iron-smelting corpse demons into "Dao soldiers" in the way of refining puppets, which can be sent in the future.

In the next few days, Zhang Mu first exchanged the treasure materials for refining the "Dao Soldiers" in the Wuding Gate, and then in the third space, while teaching the method of inducing qi into the body of the entrance of the glazed clothes, he was refining the Dao soldiers in his spare time.

On this day, Zhang Mu received a message from Su Lian's spirit rune and came to the boundary where the two provinces converged.

Days.

A floating treasure ship of nearly 200 zhang was suspended in mid-air, Zhang Mu fell to the deck, saw Su Lian, and asked, "Could it be that Princess Zhengjun is also here?" ”

"The Lord saw Childe's proposals and wanted to talk to Childe in person." Su Lian said.

Zhang Mu nodded, and walked into a luxurious cabin with Su Lian.

Mi Muyun invited Zhang Mu to sit down, waved his hand back to Su Lian, and said, "Zhang Qing, I haven't seen you for a long time, can you be okay in the near future?" ”

"Tomuyun's blessing, everything is fine!" Zhang Mu said with a smile.

The two briefly reminisced about the old days, and Mi Muyun made Zhang Mu a cup of spiritual tea and said: "I have read the solutions you wrote, and they are really eclectic!" ”

"However, I have a few questions I would like to ask Zhang Qing for advice."

Zhang Mu picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said, "Mu Yun, please speak." ”

"Mu Yun wants to ask Zhang Qing, how to control these recruited monks?" Mi Muyun asked.

"It's easy!" Zhang Mu smiled and said, "Promise identity and benefits!" ”

"I understand the benefits, it's nothing more than giving some good rewards, but this identity is a little unclear?" Mi Muyun said.

Zhang Mu put down the teacup, tapped twice on the table, and said, "Let me ask Mu Yun a question first, if you are a casual cultivator and recruited by me, what do you care about the most?" ”

Mi Muyun thought for a moment and said: "I can't get paid after a lot of hard work, my own safety is not guaranteed, and I'm afraid that you will throw it away when you run out, and so on!" ”

Zhang Mu smiled and said, "If the monthly gift is issued at the beginning of each month, are you willing?" ”

"I want to!" Mi Muyun said: "But what should they do if they throw their hands and leave after you finish sending it?" Do you want to catch them again and again? ”

"Those who leave after sending it will not need it." Zhang Mu shook his head and said, "Before recruiting, set some criteria, so as to screen them first, filter out the treacherous people, and leave those who are diligent." ”

"If you use this method, I'm afraid not many casual cultivators will be willing to come!" Mi Muyun asked with a frown.

"This is going to use the word identity I said!" Zhang Mu said: "All those who have passed the screening will be given an official imperial position after a certain number of years, so are you afraid that they will not do their best?" ”

Mi Muyun's beautiful eyes lit up, and said: "Zhang Qing wants to give people certain expectations and hopes, this method is very wonderful!" ”

Zhang Muxin said, can it not be good, among those big factories in the previous life, which one did not fool people in the form of painting a big cake like this?

After Mi Muyun figured out the joints, Zhang Mu continued: "Also, for example, Yuefeng can be divided into two parts. ”

"At the beginning of each month, a part of the rewards will be given based on their performance, and these rewards will be distributed at the end of the year!"

"If you leave in less than a year, you won't be given these rewards!"

"The longer it goes, the more rewards you give each year."

"When they reach a certain age, even if they don't do anything, they will be given the same monthly service for life as before!"

When Mi Muyun heard this proposal, he pondered for a while on his face, and after understanding the truth, his beautiful eyes looking at Zhang Mu became extremely hot, and he said word by word: "Zhang Qing's move is really unprecedented!" ”

"What does Mu Yun think of this move?" Zhang Mu said with a smile.

Mi Muyun stared at Zhang Mu with beautiful eyes, and said, "It's really an unprecedented magic method!" ”

Zhang Mu saw Mi Muyun's excited appearance, and couldn't help but smile in his heart, this set of methods of employing people in his previous life was really a dead grip on people's hearts, as long as he entered the game, he would almost never take the initiative to get out, and said: "Mu Yunke has any other questions?" ”

"Zhang Qing's method is already clear, there are not many doubts!" Mi Muyun said: "However, if it is according to Zhang Qing's method, the spirit stones required for this must be an astronomical huge number, how to solve this?" ”

"Borrow the spirit to build, open up trade routes!" Zhang Mu said.

"What do you mean?" Mi Muyun asked puzzled.

Zhang Mu explained in detail.

"Take Xiting City as an example, there are many chambers of commerce, and in the name of the imperial court, they borrow spirit stones from them to build a smooth and smooth road connecting the clouds and land."

"Let them be able to move goods between the two places day and night, and increase profits!"

"In this way, the tax burden in the city will inevitably increase greatly, and in the future, it will be limited to a few years, and slowly repay its borrowed spirit stones!"

Mi Muyun listened, isn't this just taking other people's spirit stones to do his own thing, and finally returning these spirit stones from others!

Marveling at Zhang Mu's idea is really too unbelievable, he lost his voice for a moment, and said aloud: "I really don't know how Zhang Qing came up with these methods?" ”

"It's okay to figure it out!" Zhang Mu touched his nose and said.

Mi Muyun shook his head and smiled when he saw Zhang Mu's appearance, and said: "It's a pity that I didn't meet Zhang Qing earlier, otherwise I wouldn't have fallen into the situation where I am now!" ”

"It's not too late to meet it!" Zhang Mu said jokingly.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Subsequently, Mi Muyun told Zhang Mu to do boldly according to his ideas, and she would give her full support behind her, so she got up and returned to Fuyao Palace.

....

Three days later, in the city of Xiting.

Zhang Mu had officially succeeded the inspector of the hundred mansions at this time, and according to the previous plan, he came to the palace.

When Liu Gong saw Zhang Mu coming, he warmly invited Zhang Mu to sit down in the yahall, waved back to everyone, and said: "Since I learned that the envoy came to my Xiting City, I have always wanted to meet with the envoy, but I didn't expect to wait for two months!" ”

Zhang Mu saw Liu Gong, who looked very kind on the surface, but his qi made people feel very deep, not much worse than Cai Xu at the beginning, and I am afraid that it is better than it in some aspects, so he said cautiously.

"If Liu Fuzhi wants to find me, he can ask someone to send him over, why do you have to wait in the mansion?"

Liu Gong smiled and said, "I know that the envoy came with the inspection of the hundred mansions, and it is not good to embarrass the envoy, so I have not bothered the envoy!" ”

Zhang Mu smiled in his heart, what he said on the surface sounded good, but secretly he didn't let Bi Ape find him, seeing that Liu Gong didn't mention it, he wouldn't take the initiative to break it, and said with a smile: "Liu Fu has a heart!" ”

"Where, where!" Liu Gong said: "Sitting in this position, I am walking on thin ice all the time, and I have to think twice before doing anything!" ”

The two chatted tentatively with each other for a while, Liu Gong raised his hand and set up a shielding spirit curtain, encircled it around, and took out a box of spirit stones from the Qiankun bag, the number was the same as the last time Bi Ape gave him, there were 10,000 numbers, and slowly pushed it in front of Zhang Mu.

Zhang Mu glanced at it, looked at Liu Gong with confusion in his eyes, and said, "What is Liu Fuzhi?" ”

"Recently, I heard that the envoy has been going back and forth between Xiting and Yunlu, presumably because he has encountered something difficult at hand, and he has prepared a little light courtesy, which is not a respect!" Liu Gong said with a smile.

Zhang Mu saw that Liu Gong's rhetoric was similar to Bi Ape's, smiled and said, "Liu Fuzhi, I don't think that's the reason, right?" ”

When Liu Gong heard this, he smiled again and said, "The envoy is too worried, this is indeed the reason!" ”

"If Liu Fuzhi doesn't tell the truth, I don't dare to accept it!" Zhang Mu refused.

Liu Gong stared at Zhang Mu for a while, and said slowly: "Since this is the case, then I won't shy away from it, Liu wants to ask the envoy, what is the real purpose of the last inspection of Baifu?" ”

Zhang Mu sighed and said, "Liu Fuzhi really wants to know? ”

Liu Gong pushed the spirit stone on the table to Zhang Mu's side, and motioned for Zhang Mu to continue.

Zhang Mu stretched out his hand and put it on the box containing the spirit stone, patted it lightly and said: "Xiting Mansion belongs to Tangyang County, this special situation of Tangyang County, presumably Liu Mansion is very clear!" ”

"The above asked the Baifu Inspector to come down this time, and I want to choose one..."

Zhang Mu said, stretched out his hand and pointed to it, and continued.

"Some time ago, I secretly inspected Dongming Mansion and Lingya Mansion, and the performance of Cai Xu and Zhan Shun disappointed the above."

"So, Liu Fuzhi must seize this opportunity!"

After hearing this, a trace of surprise flashed in Liu Gong's eyes, and he said, "Is this true?" ”

"It's true!" Zhang Mu said.

Liu Gong was silent for a while, then suddenly chuckled twice and said, "Thank you for telling the envoy!" ”

"However, I, Liu, know very well that I have a few catties and taels, and I am already haggard when I sit in the seat of this Xiting Mansion."

"This kind of thing involving the upper position, I, Liu, have neither the ability nor the courage to get involved!"

Zhang Mu keenly caught a hint of strangeness flashing in Liu Gong's eyes, and guessed that Liu Gong's thoughts when he heard this were definitely not as simple as he said on the surface.

Thinking of this, thinking that he and Liu Gong were only meeting for the first time, Liu Gong's move was normal, and he complimented: "Liu Fuzhi has such a free and easy temperament, which makes him admire!" ”

"The envoy praised it, and Liu is only slightly self-aware!" Liu Gong replied politely.

The two of them were both masters of Tai Chi when they chatted, and they chatted enthusiastically for a long time on the surface, but in fact, neither of them could find out each other's true intentions from each other's mouths.

Half a day later, when the two separated, they both showed a reluctant situation, which made Bi Ape, who was guarding outside, surprised!
