Chapter 90: Division of Labor in Immortal City
After the shock, Fang Chen quickly calmed down.
This Jindan cultivator came to the Star-Moon Sea for trade and did not know anything about the Jueling Swamp.
Moreover, the information sent by Dian Chu also mentioned some interesting things.
"Wang Changlin wants me to return the Jade Talisman of the Forbidden Divine Spell to him first, so as to prevent the Jindan cultivator from discovering the flaw..."
Not only that, Wang Changlin also confessed that he had pushed the source of the first-level soul-enriching formation to the Star-Moon Sea, and asked Dian Chu to ask Fang Chen not to mind this matter, and it would be better not to go to the Star-Moon Sea in person.
Even if Fang Chen must go, it would be best for him to disguise himself as a crew member of the Sea Demon Gang.
After reading these contents, Fang Chen was completely relieved.
After many conversations with Wang Changlin, Fang Chen also understood the other party's thoughts. He wanted to use the so-called emperor's son behind him to fight for power and profit in the Wang family.
This is a good thing.
Because he had this idea, his butt would unconsciously sit on Fang Chen's side.
What's more, Fang Chen provided him with a new trading channel for the message jade slips, as well as the trading of the first-level soul-enriching formation, allowing him to gain more profits.
Therefore, Wang Changlin would never reveal his existence to outsiders.
That would harm his own interests.
As the saying goes, there are no eternal friends or enemies, only eternal interests.
The existence of the Jindan cultivator can bring many conveniences to the Wang family, but for Wang Changlin, this makes him completely lose the opportunity to compete with his elder brother.
The relationship between the two is not harmonious, and if the other party settles accounts with him later, he will have no way to deal with it.
And the Emperor's son is his lifeline.
Apart from anything else, the profits gained from simply doing business with Yuehua Fairy City are enough to support him in building his foundation.
He is not like Lin Qingshan or Fang Chen who have four-attribute or five-element pseudo spiritual roots, but a genuine dual-attribute earth spiritual root.
Basically, one foundation-building pill can achieve 100% foundation-building success.
Even if you don't take the Foundation Establishment Pill, there is still a 60% success rate.
This is the advantage brought by spiritual root talent.
For cultivators with natural spiritual roots, they don't need any foundation-building pills at all. After they have achieved great perfection in Qi training, building the foundation will be a natural process.
For a three-attribute mixed spiritual root that has only one more attribute than an earth spiritual root, if it does not take the foundation-building pill, the probability of successfully building a foundation on its own will immediately drop to 30%.
As for those like Lin Qingshan and Fang Chen who have four-attribute mixed spiritual roots and five-element pseudo spiritual roots, the probability of successfully building the foundation without taking the foundation-building pill is infinitely close to zero.
Therefore, any sect with a certain influence that recruits disciples will at least require three attributes of mixed spiritual roots.
Only the immortal cultivation families will lower their requirements to four-attribute mixed spiritual roots or five-element pseudo spiritual roots.
"Wang Changlin is willing to take the initiative to cover up this matter, so there is no need to worry about the upcoming Jindan cultivator. Just concentrate on your cultivation."
Shaking his head, Fang Chen put the second-generation immortal palace into his dantian, calmed his mind, and began to meditate and practice.
Time passes unconsciously in this process.
When he opened his eyes again, it was already noon the next day.
"Boom-"
Perhaps it was a coincidence, Fang Chen had just stood up and stretched when there was a knock on the door.
"come in."
Fang Chen also looked towards the bamboo door, and the person who walked in was Xu Qiyun.
"City Lord, this is the current personnel arrangement of the Immortal City. Please review it."
Xu Qiyun walked over, raised his hand to salute, and without saying a word, handed a jade slip to Fang Chen.
It has been fifteen days since Yuehua Fairy City was established. Xu Qiyun has also divided the work among the residents of the Fairy City based on the actual situation and the needs of the Fairy City.
After taking the jade slip, Fang Chen directly used his spiritual sense to check it.
Excluding Dian Chu who is stationed on the east coast, and excluding Fang Chen and the other two, there are currently a total of 1,029 people in Yuehua Immortal City.
According to Xu Qiyun's plan, eight hundred of them will continue to be responsible for taking care of the spiritual fields and become spiritual plant husbands.
In fact, if all the residents of the fairy city were asked to take care of the spiritual fields, the currently reclaimed land would be enough, but it would also affect other plans.
What's more, there is no need to plant so many of these first-grade low-quality spiritual plants. It will not be too late to add more manpower to plant them after Dian Chu brings the seeds of first-grade medium-quality and high-quality spiritual plants from the Star Moon Sea.
Eight hundred people can take care of four thousand acres of spiritual fields, which are the first-grade low-quality spiritual plants that need to grow within two months.
Xu Qiyun also attached a planting plan at the end. He directly planned 800 acres of Ganoderma lucidum for refining Qi Gathering Powder, and 400 acres of Blue Silver Flower for refining Soul-Returning Pills.
There are four hundred acres of Baiyun spiritual grass and eight hundred acres of Lingyuan beans, which can be made into talisman paper and refined into spiritual ink.
After all, Lingyuan beans can also be used as food, and can also be used as feed when feeding spiritual beasts later.
As for the ethereal grass, the five elements ethereal grass, and the five elements spiritual grass, each is one hundred acres, mainly to feed the spiritual silkworms.
The spiritual silkworms do not require much care, only regular feeding of spiritual plants is needed. Xu Qiyun specially arranged fifty female workers to be responsible for silkworm breeding, silk reeling and subsequent textile work.
The more than 200 pairs of spiritual silkworms that were previously responsible for breeding have now laid eggs, producing more than 10,000 spiritual silkworm eggs. After hatching, there will be thousands of each type of spiritual silkworms.
It sounds like a lot, but in fact, all of them may not even fill up a three-meter square box. After all, the body of the silkworm is so small.
Once this batch of spiritual silkworms start to spin silk, we can use the silk to weave robes.
However, it is still too early to really put robes on everyone in Yuehua Fairy City.
According to experience, in order to weave a robe, silk from at least a thousand silkworms is needed, so the current breeding scale is far from enough.
Fortunately, the spiritual silkworms reproduce very quickly, and it won’t be long before Yuehua Fairy City can produce robes continuously.
Looking down, the chefs who were originally required to take care of the spiritual fields were now completely relieved and focused on cooking full-time. There were a total of twenty people.
Before, they cooked after working, which meant they had to wait before every meal.
Of course, Xu Qiyun determined their responsibilities not only for this reason, but also for the sake of fairness.
This is also explained in the jade slip.
In the past, if they spent more time cooking every day, they could make more contributions.
However, the menu of Yuehua Fairy City is almost always meat porridge cooked in salt water, which has caused dissatisfaction among some people.
After all, who can't cook porridge? Moreover, after becoming immortals, they theoretically only need to eat one meal a day, and spiritual energy can provide most of their consumption.
That is to say, the residents of Xiancheng had lived a hard life before and were not tired of eating meat porridge boiled in salt water. Otherwise, the extra contributions of these chefs for three meals a day would have caused dissatisfaction among everyone long ago.
Although it had not yet come to this step, Xu Qiyun had already seen the signs and simply hired the chef.
In this way, having more time to prepare dishes can allow the residents of Xiancheng to enjoy more variety in their meals, and it also avoids the chefs having to work two jobs.
"Allow some spiritual beans and spiritual vegetables and fruits to be allocated as a fixed amount every day. Let these chefs research new dishes. It would be best if they can research spiritual food. The specific rewards will be arranged based on your situation."
After reading the report about the chef in the jade slip, Fang Chen suddenly had a new idea, so he instructed Xu Qiyun.
Spirit chef, can prepare spiritual food.
It also belongs to the Hundred Arts of Cultivation.
By combining a variety of spiritual materials, spiritual vegetables and spiritual fruits, it achieves color, fragrance and taste, and at the same time has different effects like elixirs.
However, this profession does not have a strong presence, because spiritual food of the same level is much less effective than elixirs, but is more expensive.
Because the taste of elixirs does not need to be considered, while the price of spiritual food lies more in the enjoyment of the taste.
Moreover, spiritual food can be completely absorbed and digested by monks, and there is no need to consider the reincarnation of grains like earthly food.
Therefore, those who can afford to eat spiritual food are either rich or noble, and usually come from larger cultivation families or immortal sects.
They have no shortage of elixirs, and they even eat spiritual food and elixirs together to improve their cultivation faster.
As a foodie who possesses abilities related to plants, it is simply unjust for him to not allow the people below him to study spiritual food.
There had been no conditions before, and Fang Chen hadn't thought about it. Xu Qiyun's jade slip specifically mentioned the chef, so he just went with the flow.
"I understand."
Xu Qiyun nodded and made note of this.
Fang Chen didn't say much and continued to read the contents of the jade slip.
"You assigned those six Sea Devil Gang overseers to your own staff?"
Next were the assistants Xu Qiyun recruited for himself, six of whom served as teaching assistants with him.
These people have a high level of education and can help Xu Qiyun with some clerical work.
There are two other people, one is Shi Dingtian and the other is Li Daoxuan.
Fang Chen could notice Shi Dingtian's efforts, and Xu Qiyun, who often interacted with the residents of Xiancheng, could naturally notice it as well.
Just like Xu Qiyun and Lin Qingshan knew about Li Daoxuan's magical talent earlier than him.
Xu Qiyun also knew that Shi Dingtian was not only hardworking, but also honest and diligent, and he never did things in a dishonest way.
Every day when we count who works the hardest, Shi Dingtian is usually ranked first.
Xu Qiyun also recorded these in the jade slip, hoping that Shi Dingtian would have a good impression in Fang Chen's mind.
Therefore, Li Daoxuan's magical talent is also recorded.
Fang Chen could understand these people, but Xu Qiyun also recruited the six supervisors from the Sea Demon Gang and did not write down the reason.
That's why Fang Chen asked this question.
"Yes."
Xu Qiyun admitted it directly, and then without waiting for Fang Chen to speak, he explained the reason: "I am using them to form a patrol team."
"Patrol?"
Fang Chen was stunned for a moment, then he realized that they were the head of the police and the constables.
He originally wanted to say that it was unnecessary, but he instantly understood that Xu Qiyun was preparing for a rainy day.
It is impossible for Yuehua Fairy City to always have only more than a thousand people. The patrol system really needs to be established as soon as possible. We can't wait until there are too many people and something happens before we think about these things.
What Xu Qiyun didn't say was that this was also about finding a suitable job for the six supervisors.
They are physical cultivators, and their negative contributions have not yet been cleared, so they have no way of exchanging the Blood Spirit Bone Vine and the Body-Forging Blood Vine to embark on the path of dual cultivation.
They can’t take care of the spiritual fields like other county residents.
At first I could help cultivate the land, but later I just did odd jobs every day.
Fang Chen transferred Dian Chu to the East Coast. They lost their backbone and their motivation was not as strong as before.
Xu Qiyun saw everything and took advantage of the division of labor in Yuehua Fairy City to arrange a patrol job for them.
After explaining the matter of the six supervisors, Fang Chen continued to check the jade slips.
Among the remaining 145 people, Lin Qingshan was going to take away 50 of them, who were also the 50 people with the highest math skills among all the residents of the Immortal City.
Follow him to continue learning the relevant knowledge of formations, prohibitions and runes, and then refine magic tools according to the assembly line method mentioned by Fang Chen.
Lin Qingshan wanted to send another fifty people to do the preliminary work of engraving magic weapons for these fifty people.
For example, when refining a jade message slip, these fifty people are responsible for processing the shape of the jade slip, so most of them are carpenters, potters and blacksmiths.
The last forty-five people followed Xu Qiyun to learn how to make pills.
As a doctor with a high level of skills, after understanding the characteristics of spiritual plants, Xu Qiyun also relied on alchemy to successfully become an alchemist.
These forty-five people were also carefully selected by him and had strong learning abilities.
The forty-six people were not only learning, but also exploring together how to apply the assembly line method that Fang Chen mentioned to alchemy to improve efficiency.
At present, just like the alchemy boys in most sects, these forty-five people process the medicinal materials and then Xu Qiyun will refine them.
Next is the calculation method of the contribution of each division of labor. This item has obviously been carefully calculated. The contribution of each division of labor is similar in a year, and is far more than before.
"Very good. In this way, Yuehua Fairy City will be able to operate in an orderly manner."
Fang Chen also expressed his appreciation for the division of labor and the new contribution system.
Just as he said, by defining everyone's responsibilities, Yuehua Fairy City can operate better and more efficiently, thus producing more resources for him.
Today is the second update, and I still ask for your support. Students taking the college entrance examination should also work hard. I wish you all good results.
