After Huang Xiaoshi came down from Wudang Mountain, Shang Jingzhong and his wife had already packed up.
Because Axia was pregnant, they hired a flatbed truck from their next door neighbor.
Naturally, Huang Xiaoshi would not wait for them. After explaining some more matters to Shang Jingzhong, he rode his fast horse back to Luoyang.
After Huang Xiaoshi hurriedly left, Shang Jingzhong helped Axia onto the cart.
Squeaking and squeaking, the cart slowly started to move.
Even if we take the official road, the smoothness of the loess gravel road is very limited. The only shock absorption system on the wooden flatbed truck is the bed of cotton padding under Axia's buttocks.
In this way, the cart swayed and wandered for three full days before reaching Luoyang.
Knowing that this young couple was going to work at Shennong Baicaomen in Luoyang, the handlebar old Zhang was extremely envious. No wonder they didn't even open a tofu shop. It would be great if his son could be so successful.
After Shang Jingzhong arrived at Shennong Baicao Gate in Luoyang, he informed the gatekeeper of his name and was quickly led around the yard and then taken to a small room.
After asking for his name, age, and birthday, the accountant took a pen and wrote on a lined paper for a while. Then he asked Shang Jingzhong to put his fingerprint on the paper and told him, this is yours.
Account.
"Is this the end?" Shang Jingzhong was confused.
Originally, Shang Jingzhong thought that there might be some kind of entrance ceremony, or a welcome ceremony or something, but it turned out to be very casual.
"I'll take you to see the house later." The doorman waiting nearby was already familiar with this entry-level procedure. He said to Shang Jingzhong: "My name is Xiao Zhang. If you need anything, just give me any instructions."
Already."
Xiao Zhang took Shang Jing through several doors and arrived at a small courtyard. Then he pointed to three rows of houses on all sides and said, "The row in the middle is where Mr. Shi lives. You can live here."
Because of the increasing number of disciples, Shennong Baicaomen has long stopped providing accommodation to its disciples, but people all over Luoyang City like to rent houses to the disciples of Shennong Baicaomen.
On the one hand, these young people have a guaranteed income and can live for a long time. On the other hand, they can also build some connections. After all, many people in Luoyang are inextricably linked to Shennong Baicaomen.
Therefore, the people who can be arranged by Mr. Shi to live in his own small courtyard are definitely not ordinary people.
Last time, there was a Taoist priest from Qingcheng Mountain who had very high martial arts skills. After living in a small courtyard for a while, he heard that he was favored by a noble man and was poached with a lot of money.
Then there is Divine Doctor Shen’s only daughter, Shen Sanmei, who also lives in the courtyard.
A young couple moved in this time. I don't know what kind of ability they have that makes Master Shi value them.
After Xiao Zhang finished the introduction, he turned around and looked at Shang Jingzhong. Seeing that he was hesitant to speak, he said enthusiastically: "If you have anything to say, just say it. We are all one family."
"Where is Master Huang now?" Shang Jingzhong asked Xiao Zhang.
Xiao Zhang spread his hands. He learned this move from Huang Xiaoshi. It is very fashionable among young people. He said: "Master Shi's whereabouts have always been erratic. You can stay here in peace. When he has something to do, he will come naturally."
Looking for you."
Later, Xiao Zhang took Shang Jingzhong around the yard again. He pointed out two places to Shang Jingzhong. One was the accounting room, where the signature was signed just now.
When money is tight, you can go to the accounting office to advance one month's payment. If you are particularly tight, you can advance up to three months' payment.
The money can be collected once a month, and can be deposited in the accounting room, and you can just pay it out when you need to spend it.
The accountant has set up a personal account for everyone. As long as you enter the Shennong Baicao Gate in your life, your money will be paid to you from beginning to end, and it will be calculated clearly.
Many people don't know that Mr. Shi's ability to settle accounts is unparalleled. All accountants must pass Mr. Shi's assessment before joining the job, and the first batch of accountants were taught by Mr. Shi.
Under this strict accounting system, no one can fake it, but it is extremely difficult to do so.
Therefore, everyone trusts the accounting office. Some people prefer to keep their money in the accounting office because they are afraid that their mother-in-law, father, or children will lose their fortune.
The second important place is that Xiao Zhang brought Shang Jingzhong to the canteen, which as the name suggests, is a place to eat.
"As long as anyone can enter this courtyard, no matter who they are, they can eat whatever they want here for free." Xiao Zhang pointed to several rows of steaming steamers and said to Shang Jingzhong.
Shennong Baicaomen finally got rid of the habit of cooking in large pots. Huang Xiaoshi built a canteen that was a standard model in this era according to his own standards.
There is no way, there are too many people, and if the problem of food is not solved, the operating efficiency of the entire Shennong Baicaomen will decrease.
In Huang Xiaoshi's view, when a company provides free meals to employees, it is not a welfare, but a production cost.
If you eat well, you will be motivated; if you eat quickly, you will have more time to do things.
Every minute during the day is profit. After you get off the pharmaceutical production line, you sit down to eat, and continue working after eating. This is called efficiency.
Since it is a production cost, it cannot be wasted, let alone saved. There are dozens of cooks, cooks, and dishwashers alone.
Because there were too many people, in order to improve efficiency, we changed it to staggered meal times. In the end, we simply changed it to flowing tables, so that you can have meals anytime from morning to night.
Of course, although the dishes and rice are rich, they are very simple to eat.
Everyone gets a big thick bowl. If you want steamed buns, eat steamed buns. If you want rice, eat rice. Then the aunt will scoop some vegetables from several large pots for you to cover the rice with. Then she will carry it to the table to eat.
If it's not enough, come back and add more.
Whether a sect is strong or not can be determined by looking at their diet.
The reason is also very simple. When it comes to eating, you can't hide it from others. You can open your mouth, but you can't open your belly.
Although the Tianshan sect has a large number of people, it is divided into many small courtyards, and each courtyard has its own small stove, so the food in each courtyard is different.
For example, Shang Jingzhong does not eat as well as Axia.
Xiao Zhang told Shang Jingzhong a joke, saying that a young man who had just arrived always stood up when eating, and others told him to sit down and eat slowly, don't be hasty.
As a result, the man said honestly: "I just ate eight steamed buns and I can't sit down anymore."
So, this person got a nickname, "eating while standing".
It was a joke, but Xiao Zhang's tone was full of pride.
Life has not been very good these past few years. Even for wealthy people, they only have to work hard when they have free time. They just need to lull their stomachs a little bit every day.
However, only Shennong Baicaomen is allowed to eat.
Therefore, every young man who just joins the job and hears that the canteen can eat for free will not be able to help but eat a few times.
Eight steamed buns are normal, but there are so many jokes about five kilograms of rice and a bucket of porridge.
Gradually, the person's stomach fills up, his appetite decreases, and he becomes an old man. When he sees the hungry look of the newcomer, he can't help but smile knowingly.
After listening to Xiao Zhang's introduction, Shang Jingzhong nodded. He also understood why Shennong Baicaomen could become so big.
With a little knowledge, just the routine of joining the company today, plus the knowledge in the accounting room and the canteen, he defeated most sects in the world.
That's why Huang Xiaoshi often wanders around casually, and doesn't need to be like other sects. Every day, the leader has to teach the disciples from ear to ear.
Shang Jingzhong finished what he was doing. He went outside Shennong Baicao Gate and helped Axia down from the car who had been waiting for a long time. Then he settled the fare with the handlebar old Zhang. After thanking him profusely, the couple
Returned to his room.
…
Huang Xiaoshi didn't show up for several days.
Huang Xiaoshi is busy preparing for the Wulin Alliance Conference.
As expected, any escort team is just an appetizer. In fact, what everyone wants to do is to re-establish the martial arts alliance.
Any major event is inseparable from several major elements:
Land, money, manpower.
After so many years, the re-organizing of the Wulin Association is of epochal significance, so where to do it and how to do it are very important questions.
In the past, everyone liked to hold any martial arts association in Huashan, mainly because of the name of Huashan Sword Discussing.
However, the Huashan sect had just hosted the Young Heroes Association, and the Martial Arts Alliance was going to be held again. On the one hand, the Huashan sect itself couldn't bear it, and on the other hand, other people were somewhat unhappy.
So, let’s return to the three major elements of organizing an event: territory, money, and manpower. Whichever sect can provide these, we can organize it there.
As a result, after saying this, some people became dissatisfied.
Because in this way, wouldn’t the Wulin Alliance become a money bag, and whoever has more money will be justified?
After arguing back and forth, everyone finally decided to put the venue in Luoyang, jointly organized by Tiangangmen and Shennong Baicaomen.
There are several good things about this decision. One is that Luoyang is known as the Central Capital and is not far or near from all parties, which is conducive for people from all sects to participate.
The second good thing is that due to the dissolution of the Tianshan Sect, there may be a sect that will join the six major sects. From the current point of view, it is either Tiangang Sect or Shennong Baicao Sect. It makes sense for them to be co-organized by the two.
The third best thing is that both Tiangang Sect and Shennong Baicao Sect are wealthy.
In terms of hardware, both companies have no shortage of land, money, and manpower.
From a software point of view, both families are on good terms with the Luoyang government. They can negotiate and communicate with the government before holding a meeting, so that the officials can show their respect, so as not to have a group of six-door policemen coming to cause trouble from time to time during the meeting.
To hold such a large-scale event, the preparation work is very troublesome. Huang Xiaoshi has been very busy these days. He needs to discuss and negotiate with all parties.
First of all, Huang Xiaoshi wants to discuss with Jiang Tianxiong that the two of them will jointly organize it, who will be the leader and who will be the auxiliary.
As a result, Jiang Tianxiong was very happy. As long as Mr. Shi opened his mouth, he would never give Jiang Tianxiong whatever he asked for (nor dared to do so). The attentive Huang Xiaoshi discovered that he had not seen Jiang Yu for a long time.
In the past, because Jiang Tianxiong often ran outside, Jiang Yu was the one guarding the house.
Now Jiang Yu often disappears for ten days and a half, and it is Jiang Tianxiong's turn to guard the house. Once Jiang Tianxiong has to go out for something, their house will be empty.
…
Jiang Tianxiong was also extremely lucky that the person who sneaked into his house last time was Huang Xiaoshi. If it had been anyone else, things might not have been so good.
After returning from Xiaoyao Valley, Jiang Tianxiong immediately went down to the dungeon in person to visit and express condolences to Li Cangtian.
Although Li Cangtian didn't know that the guard's attitude suddenly changed so drastically, he knew that the situation outside must have changed dramatically.
The internal energy brought by Huang Xiaoshi last time was very useful. After Li Cangtian worked for a while, the toxins in his body were gradually eliminated. Coupled with Jiang Tianxiong's personal arrangements, Li Cangtian's meals immediately improved by several levels, and the food contained
No more poisoning.
With the recovery of internal energy, Li Cangtian's body functions gradually recovered. This is the greatest benefit of Yin internal energy.
However, Li Cangtian is still locked up, because as a guard, Jiang Tianxiong can try his best to improve Li Cangtian's living conditions, but he does not have the authority to release Li Cangtian.
What's more, Jiang Tianxiong told the truth, and Li Cangtian himself knew that the lock on his neck had no key at all. Unless he got the Yitian Sword to cut it off, there was nothing anyone could do.
The characteristic of [Unique Destruction], just under [Indestructible], can be regarded as almost invincible.
After Jiang Tianxiong said so much, he left. He was only one step away from freedom, but Li Cangtian was very calm.
Although Li Cangtian didn't know what was happening outside, he must have something to do with Li Huan, and the situation must be favorable to him.
As long as you wait patiently, you will see the light of day again.
…
The reopening of the Wulin Alliance Conference this time requires the re-formulation of the Wulin Alliance rules.
Everything else is easy to say. Specifically, on the matter of whether to set up a martial arts leader, the six major factions themselves started to quarrel.
When I woke up in the morning, I randomly took some cold medicine that was always available at home, and the symptoms were relieved a lot. I guess I had a cold. I was too tired and my resistance was reduced.
When I was at work, when I saw that I was wearing an N95 mask, all my colleagues consciously stayed away from me.
On an originally very busy Monday, I suddenly seemed to be forgotten in a corner, and all the usual chattering was gone.
So, I seized the opportunity, banged on the keyboard, and wrote a supplementary chapter.
