After being reminded by Chen Yong, Meng Zhou suddenly remembered that he was a handyman and was paid.

Although he didn't dig out the relevant information from Zhou Qiang's memories, all his memories had been completely dissolved, but Xia Qing had done relevant knowledge when he arranged the errand of the medicine garden for him back then, and these memories surfaced in his heart, and also solved his doubts.

Miscellaneous servants are paid on a monthly basis.

According to the management system of Qingxuanzong, this institutionalized expenditure is done without any intermediaries.

For example, the monthly quota of disciples at all levels will not go through the hands of any senior teacher or senior brother, but will personally go to the deacon hall to receive the nameplate.

The remuneration of the miscellaneous servants is also the only thing that does not go through the miscellaneous deacons, and is directly connected by the miscellaneous servants and the sect deacons.

However, firstly, the wages of the miscellaneous servants are not much, and secondly, the affairs of the deacon hall are complicated, and the status of the miscellaneous servants is too low, so it is really difficult to enjoy the services of the master of the deacon hall once a month.

Therefore, although the wages of miscellaneous servants are calculated on a monthly basis, they are not paid monthly, but every six months.

Today is June 30, and the first half of the year is about to end, and it is about to be July, and it is the day when the handymen are most looking forward to receiving their wages.

In order not to delay the normal work of the miscellaneous servants, the door of the deacon hall will be open to the miscellaneous servants from the beginning of July to the end of the tenth day of the seventh month.

And Chen Yong asked him if he had any ideas, but he didn't ask him how many times he had a good time to go together, but asked him what specific choices he would make at that time.

The miscellaneous servants worked hard to serve the Qingxuan Sect, in addition to having a good and safe place to live compared to other casual cultivators, a more important reason was this.

For these salaries that still stay in the account books of the deacon hall, the miscellaneous servants have a variety of choices, and it is of course the easiest and most direct to withdraw them directly as spirit stones, in addition, they can also be exchanged for pills, spells or other cultivation resources according to the internal price of the sect.

It is worth mentioning that for a middle- and low-level monk at the level of miscellaneous servants, it is almost impossible to buy the same resources from other sources at the same price, and it is not safe to say otherwise.

One can imagine how important this channel is to the handymen.

And these resources can only be exchanged through remuneration, and cannot be replenished.

If there is something that a handyman must ask for, but the price exceeds his half-year's salary, he must hold it for another half a year and redeem it when he has saved up a year's salary.

Either make a private deal with other handymen in advance and have more disposable pay. As long as both parties are willing, the deacon church will not stop this.

Therefore, whenever it is time to receive pay, the private activities of the handymen will become frequent, which can be regarded as optimizing the allocation of resources in advance.

Meng Zhou's heart was spinning with these thoughts, and he looked at Chen Yong with the intention of inquiring.

Although he didn't say anything, Chen Yong seemed to understand what he meant, waved his hand and said:

"Brother Zhou, you misunderstood, didn't you say before that you lacked actual offensive and defensive means, and if you have the opportunity, you have to make up for this shortcoming."

Meng Zhou's heart moved, since he experienced the incident of Xiaolin Tan Kaiming, he had such a thought in his heart, and he did feel the same emotion with his brothers during a casual conversation.

As Chen Yong spoke, his right hand had taken out two booklets from his sleeve and placed them on the table, unfolding them in front of Meng Zhou.

"Sword Qi Finger" and "Crane Control Hand"

Looking at these two booklets, which were not too thick, Meng Zhou's heart moved, and he looked at Chen Yong: "This is...... Ordinary martial arts? ”

At the same time, Meng Zhou also thought of the identities of the two in the mortal world that he learned during the small talk.

In the mundane society, Chen Yong used to be a real gang boss, and because of a fairy fate, he embarked on the road of cultivation.

It's a pity that because he is too old and the immortal fate is too shallow, now he can only condescend to the Qingxuanzong Miscellaneous Courtyard to be an ordinary miscellaneous monk.

And his younger brother Chen Cong was able to embark on this road, in addition to his own talent and cleverness, more importantly, Chen Yong's unsparing support.

Chen Yong nodded and said:

"What my brothers can get their hands on is also some ordinary martial arts on the road, after knowing your thoughts, I thought about these two martial arts for a long time, you can see if they are suitable. If it is appropriate, it is also good to save some work and use it elsewhere. ”

Meng Zhou took the two booklets in his hands and looked through them curiously.

Chen Yong introduced in a timely manner:

"I thought the sword qi finger was similar to the Missile Technique and the Flying Arrow Technique, but the sword qi finger that was driven by the true qi of the martial artist was much worse in terms of power and range.

But when I use mana to urge, I find that the power is similar to these spells, and there are many moves, so I am better at flexible changes.

It's just that because it was created by ordinary martial artists, before cultivating it to Dacheng, there was a lack of understanding, and the mana could not fully match it, and the power was weaker than spells like the missile technique of the same level.

The Crane Controller has the same problem, and it has a wider range of applications than the Sword Qi Finger.

It can be used for attack, but also for defense, mastered well, can be directly simulated into a mana palm, not only offensive and defensive integration, control and grappling can also be. ”

Meng Zhou heard it, and his eyes were full of brilliance.

Although Chen Yong has emphasized many times that in order for these two ordinary martial arts to reach the level of actual combat, the mastery level must be deeper than those spells.

Mastering a missile technique, as long as you successfully enter the door, you will have guaranteed lethality, but if you want to achieve such power in martial arts, it is far from enough to get started.

But for Meng Zhou, is this a thing?

It's not a problem at all!

Chen Yong also said when he was vaccinated that the introduction of these two martial arts is much simpler than spells like the missile technique.

"It's just made for me!"

Meng Zhou was not polite and accepted the two gifts.

He didn't know what to give in return, so he thought to himself, "Next time, next time, I'll increase the success rate of talisman making to seventy." ”

In this way, even if they didn't consider expanding the scale of production, the extra money that the two brothers earned from him every month would be close to two medium-grade spirit stones, which was nearly double the current amount.

……

After the two brothers left, Meng Zhou carefully summed it up in his heart.

"I have enough spirit stones to use now, and it is obviously not cost-effective to exchange them directly for spirit stones, what is more appropriate to use them for?"

On the second day of the seventh month, Meng Zhou and the Chen brothers were both resting, so they made an appointment to go to the deacon hall together.

When the three of them came to the entrance and exit of the door guarded by the iron-faced general who usually had a cold face, there were already a lot of miscellaneous servants gathered here, and the person who carried the door was actually replaced by a rare person with a kind and smiling face.

The handymen in line did not need to be interrogated, and took the initiative to explain their intentions.

"Go to the deacon's house and get paid."

The guard of the gate was not embarrassed in the slightest, and happily issued a pass.

Meng Zhouren was mixed in the crowd, not conspicuous at all, walking on an unfamiliar road for the first time, even if he occasionally met some sect disciples, he didn't shy away from it, just walked quietly.

Most of the disciples ignored them, and some would look at them curiously, but no one would choose to embarrass them at this time.

Meng Zhou couldn't help but sigh in his heart, probably, only at this time every year, the miscellaneous servants would justifiably think that they were also part of the sect.

Along the way, there were no accidents, and everyone came to the nearest office in the deacon hall and the miscellaneous courtyard.

Here, a special channel for miscellaneous servants has been added.

Instead of rushing to make a decision, everyone received their own remuneration slip after checking their respective identity tags.

Then everyone got together in twos and threes and muttered and discussed.

This should be the parties who had made private exchanges in advance and were negotiating the final plan, and the young deacon in charge of handling the matter waited patiently and did not stop it in the slightest.

From the sect's point of view, it is probably not a big amount to count all the miscellaneous servants' salary expenses, but for each miscellaneous servant on the scene, it is a huge amount of money that needs to be carefully weighed and carefully calculated.

Not only do you have to use it to sustain your life for the next six months, but you also have to consider whether you want to invest in your spiritual practice and whether you want to save your savings.

Looking at such a picture, for no reason, Meng Zhou thought of a scene he had experienced in his previous life.

A group of migrant workers wearing yellow hard hats and cheap camouflage uniforms gathered around the office in a rare queue, each holding a copy of their own pay slips, carefully calculating and calculating.

Even if there is a screw cap, you have to break it clearly in advance, and then you will sign your crooked name and press the red handprint.

This is a big deal for them.
