Chapter 42: Offering the Elixir

King Duanjun asked curiously: "How do you say this? ”

Tianhuo said with a smile: "Lord Wang, my master once taught me that the superior only needs to find the right direction, set goals, choose strategies, and control the process, as for the specific work, just let professional people do it."

If the superior has to do everything, it will make you very tired, and it will also limit the performance and growth of the professionals under you, make them lose the space to use their talents, and also give them an excuse when they can't complete the task.

Such a thankless thing is the favorite thing for many superiors. ”

Tianhuo's words actually made Duanjun King fall into contemplation, and after a long time, Duanjun Wang said in a deep voice: "Such a bold delegation of power, what if the chosen person is unreliable or incompetent?"

Tianhuo did not avoid Duanjun Wang's cold eyes, and said in a manchu voice: "This requires the superior to have enough vision and courage, and the superior only focuses on what he should do. ”

"Oh, I want to hear about it!"

"The superior only needs to have the vision of discovering talents and the appropriate selection mechanism, and can select the right person to undertake the right job; supplemented by a strict regulatory process and reward and punishment system, so that people with subordinate talents can manage ordinary people, and the superior can save energy to do more things that should be done. ”

Duanjun Wang's eyes flickered and said, "Your Xuanji faction is a suitable management talent, right? And the supervision talent you are talking about is similar to the Imperial City Division of my father, right?"

Tianhuo made a slight comparison and said: "Well, the Xuanji faction is undoubtedly a suitable management team, and the supervisors do not need to be as professional as the Imperial City Division, as long as they are serious and responsible, and those who are familiar with the business process can be competent, but they must continue to strengthen the implementation of the process by the management team and supervisors." ”

Duanjun Wang picked up the tea bowl again and took a sip, he didn't like this kind of dialogue very much, it was just a greeting and questioning for the first time, but he made himself a match, and unconsciously, Tianhuo had already occupied the initiative in the conversation.

For a person who has been in the upper position for a long time, it is a very irritating thing to be held by others, so although King Duanjun still wants to listen to it, he still stubbornly suppresses his thoughts, once the subordinate loses his awe of the superior, it will be difficult to control it in the future.

Duanjun Wang said: "What Xiaoyou said has some truth, wait for this king to think about it carefully, and then listen to your high opinion." Xiaoyou left Xuanwei Mansion in early March, and has been out of touch since then, I don't know where you have traveled for most of the year?"

Tianhuo said: "As the saying goes, reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles, students are not talented, and it took ten years to read more than 5,000 books and atlases, and I felt that a lot of knowledge could not be integrated, so I decided to go out for a walk."

I walked all the way from Yundian to the capital, and on the way I hurriedly traveled through the various provinces of the Great Song Kingdom, which opened my eyes and gained a lot. ”

Tianhuo did not show a disappointed expression because of Duanjun Wang's sudden change of topic, and he didn't even show any emotional fluctuations, which made Duanjun Wang a little disappointed, and at the same time, his evaluation of Tianhuo in his heart was much higher.

King Duanjun asked depressedly, "Tianhuo can read 5,000 books at a young age, why don't you sprint towards the goal of 10,000 books?"

Tianhuo was a little embarrassed and said: "Yundian is remote, Wanshui is a small county, it is not easy to find 5,000 books, and I don't want to read more." ”

Duanjun Wang was stunned for a moment, and laughed and said: "I see, I have seen all the books in a county, amazing! Since Xiaoyou loves to read so much, Taiyi School is definitely a good place to go, I heard that there are millions of books there, and it can definitely help Xiaoyou complete the grand goal of reading more than 10,000 books."

If there are no books in some unique Taiyi schools, the collection of books in my Great Song Hanlin Academy, Wenyuan Pavilion, and Wenlan Pavilion is also quite rich, which will definitely meet the needs of children. ”

Tianhuo said happily: "That's great, the student has thanked the prince in advance! The student really has a few books that can't be found, I heard that there is a collection in Wenlan Pavilion, and I will ask the prince to help borrow them." ”

Duanjun Wang suddenly had the feeling that someone had borrowed a donkey from the slope, and unconsciously he had promised to help Tianhuo twice, but borrowing books was just a trivial matter, Duanjun Wang said generously: "Well, this matter is simple, you pull out a bibliography, let Song Neng transfer it to the chief manager of my house, and he will definitely be able to help you borrow it." ”

Song Neng raised his head and peeked at Tianhuo, and from the sincere smile on Tianhuo's face, he actually saw a hint of cunning, and said in his heart that the prince was too generous, this young master of Xuanji Mountain seemed to be innocent, but he was actually a very cunning guy, and it was estimated that he had to take advantage of borrowing books.

King Duanjun asked again: "Tianhuo, which provinces have you been to along the way?"

Tianhuo said: "Students are anxious to come to the capital to meet the prince, time is limited can only be a horse to watch the flowers, the ground in the provinces of the Great Song Dynasty has gone to at least one place, and I have seen the magnificent Great Song Dynasty, but unfortunately the time is shorter, if I have time in the future, the students also want to go to every state and county in the Great Song Dynasty." ”

King Duanjun nodded and said, "Well, your ambition is commendable! You have traveled so many places, can you tell this king, where do you think the most beautiful place in the Great Song Dynasty is?"

Tianhuo smiled: "This question is not difficult. The most beautiful place is naturally Jinling City, and the closest place is naturally Wanshui County. ”

Duanjun Wang laughed, Song Neng also laughed, and Tianhuo praised the two places of Beijing and Wanshui in one sentence, which made the two of them feel very happy.

Duanjun Wang laughed for a long time before he stopped: "I didn't expect Xiaoyou to be a little slippery head, it seems that there are a lot of distortions in the information about Xiaoyou, but this also made me reacquaint myself with Xiaoyou, not bad."

Tell me, what is the purpose of your special visit to me this time, a little slippery head like you will not come to visit this king in vain, right?"

Tianhuo said with a smile: "Lord Wang, you misunderstood, the student really just came to visit you, thank you Lord for his help and support to the Xuanji Sect, and by the way, I will send you some good pills refined by the Xuanji Sect." ”

King Duanjun had taken the Kidney Nourishing and Root-Strengthening Pill presented by Li Cheng before, and the effect was good, and he still had some knowledge of the pills of the Xuanji faction, and praised him: "The alchemy and alchemy skills of the Xuanji faction are not bad, and I think there are a lot of good things this time, right?"

Tianhuo only took out two jade bottles and sent them to the coffee table in front of King Duanjun.

Duanjun Wang thought that Tianhuo would take out a lot of pills to recommend to himself, but he didn't expect that there were only two bottles, he picked up one of the jade bottles, uncorked the bottle, and there was no imagined fragrance, only to see that there were ten white pills the size of sycamore seeds in the jade bottle, the brilliance was not obvious, slightly fragrant, I don't know what to do.

King Duanjun opened another jade bottle, which contained three golden pills the size of longan, looking at the golden light flashing and the aura surrounding, but there was no taste escaping, and it was not ordinary at first glance.

Duanjun Wang Daqi said: "Tianhuo, what kind of elixir are these two bottles, they all look very precious. ”

Tianhuo picked up the first bottle of pill and said: "This bottle is the Zhuyan Pill, which can make people stay young forever and stay forever in their appearance when taking medicine." Although it is not the best elixir, for those beauties who pay special attention to their appearance, this Zhuyan Pill is more precious than the elixir!"

Duanjun Wang's eyes lit up when he heard this, this elixir is not very effective in practice, but for those concubines in the palace who entertain people, this is undoubtedly the best elixir, if used properly, these ten Zhuyan pills will allow him to have a lot of help in the palace, which will be of great help to his future career.

Since Tianhuo first introduced the Zhuyan Pill, indicating that the second bottle of the pill was stronger than the first bottle, Duanjun Wang pointed to the second bottle of the pill and asked, "Could it be that this bottle of pill is more precious than the Zhuyan Pill?"

Tianhuo nodded and said, "It's just that there are many materials and it's not easy to match, and it's not difficult to refine, but these three golden pills have almost emptied the Xuanji Sect's thousands of years of storage. ”

King Duanjun was even more curious: "Tianhuo, don't sell Guanzi, let's talk about its efficacy." ”

Tianhuo picked up the jade bottle and said solemnly: "This bottle of elixir has only one effect, which is to help the monks at the peak of the Jindan stage break through to the Yuan Infant stage!"

King Duanjun snatched the bottle of elixir and protected it tightly on his chest, for fear that someone would snatch it, and asked in a trembling voice: "What you said is true?

Duanjun Wang has always been trapped by his own cultivation is too low, it is difficult to attract powerful monks to join his camp, he has sighed countless times that even if he only has the cultivation of the Yuan Infant Stage, he will not be so passive, but his Jindan Stage promotion is already very difficult, and the Yuan Infant Stage is basically hopeless.

Another important point is that the Jindan period monk Yang Shou is limited to a thousand years, even if the current Song Emperor keeps his promise to give up the throne after three thousand years, it will be a thousand years later, and King Duanjun will not be able to wait for that time.

However, if the Duanjun King is promoted to the Yuan Infant Stage, the situation will be greatly changed, not only will the Yang Shou be extended for at least a thousand years, but even if there is no hope of advancing to the God Transformation Stage in the future, it will also reach the minimum cultivation standard for taking over as the Song Emperor, so the Duanjun King will be so out of shape at this time.

Tianhuo nodded and said: "The family master can indeed refine this kind of pill, and the family master has also made improvements to the Dan formula, even if the pass fails, the original cultivation can be preserved, and there will be no worries about the death of the Dan shatter."

The Xuanji faction did everything to refine such three pills, which meant that the prince had three chances to impact the Yuan Infant Stage, so the probability of advancing to the Yuan Infant Stage would be very high. ”

"Three times, only three times?" Duanjun Wang obviously didn't have much confidence in his cultivation qualifications, he muttered a few words, then looked at Tianhuo and said, "Tianhuo, if I provide another batch of alchemy raw materials, can your master refine a few more such pills." ”

Tianhuo shook his head and said: "Lord Wang, Taoism has clouds, but there are only three things, if three times can't successfully impact the Yuan Infant Stage, it means that no matter how much pill you eat, it will not help." If you forcibly go against the sky, it will not only be useless, but it will also damage the body, and in serious cases, it may even be punished by heaven. ”

King Duanjun was a little disappointed and said, "Even with the help of this elixir, the probability of my success will still not be too high." ”

Tianhuo Zhengse said: "Lord Wang, we can't go against the sky, but we can win the sky, as long as we make full preparations in advance, and then ask the master in the royal family to protect the Fa, with the help of the pill, the prince has at least ninety percent of the certainty of advancing to the Yuan Infant Stage." ”

King Duanjun also said with a straight face: "Are you sure you're not comforting me?"

Tianhuo said: "No, but please also ask the prince to be patient, don't rush to break through, completely consolidate the realm of the Jindan period, and continue to accumulate at the peak, and finally it will be a matter of course." ”

King Duanjun said dejectedly: "Then how long will you have to wait?"

Tianhuo said: "Judging from my wind observation technique, it will take at least fifty years for the prince to consolidate the realm!"
