Chapter 412 We are all a family, why are you so polite?
In the sage's mansion, Jiang Beiran knocked on the door and cupped his hands towards Shi Weiyi and said, "Meet the sage."
"What a rare visitor. Why does Beiran have anything to do with me?" Shi Weiyi asked with a smile.
Taking out a brochure and handing it to Shi Weiyi, Jiang Beiran said: "A few days ago, I promised the clan sages to select a group of Xuanyi talents for him. Now I have initially determined the candidates, so I came to ask the sages to help make a decision."
"Oh?" Shi Weiyi took the list, flipped through two pages and said, "Aren't these the same people you chose to go to Jinding Island before?"
"Yes, I originally thought that they were all talented people. After arriving on Jinding Island, I became even more convinced of this. They all have excellent talents in their respective fields."
After closing the roster, Shi Weiyi looked at Jiang Beiran and said, "Since it's a matter of Xuanfang, you should go to Hongfang, not me."
"I have already looked for Master Shifang. The reason for looking for the sages this time is to send them to various places for training."
"What do you mean?" Shi Weiyi asked.
"Let them join the major Xuan Art Guilds and start from the bottom, so that they can learn more."
After hearing this, Shi Weiyi opened the roster again, scanned the names again and asked, "Tell me the purpose of doing this."
"To be honest with what the sage said, during my time in the Shi Mansion, I discovered that all the masters in Linglongfang were hired by the Shi Mansion with huge sums of money from various Xuan Yi Associations or other channels. However, the cost of doing so would be huge.
Secondly, it is difficult to buy the best talents from the other party just by buying them. I wonder if the sage agrees with this junior’s idea.”
"Indeed." Shi Weiyi nodded.
"So this junior believes that the Shi Mansion still needs to have its own hematopoietic ability, which is a channel for cultivating talents, so that it can have a chance to truly grow Linglongfang."
After staying in Linglongfang for so long and getting along with the owner of the place, Shi Hongfang, Jiang Beiran had already understood one thing.
That is, although the Shi family seems to attach great importance to Linglongfang and is very aware of the importance of Linglongfang, the resources they invest are far from enough to make Linglongfang what they want.
There are two reasons for this.
First of all, the Shi family is still an ancient family that focuses on cultivation. Although they know the importance of Linglongfang, they still believe in the bottom of their hearts that whoever has the bigger fist will be justified.
This kind of mentality will lead them to think that allocating a little time and energy originally used for cultivation to Linglongfang is considered to be of great importance, but in fact it is far from enough.
Secondly, the direction of efforts is completely wrong. Each major Xuanyi Association has its own very systematic training methods. At the same time, they devote their energy to cultivating Xuanyi talents, so that talents can continuously appear.
And what about the Shi family?
I know how to buy, buy, buy. Spend a lot of money to buy the genius here, spend a lot of money to buy the master there.
But this kind of stupid and money-rich method is of no use except to make Linglongfang’s list of pavilion masters slightly more attractive.
Because you can't expect a seventh-grade Xuanyi master to teach a newbie, and the training system at the lower level of Linglongfang is a mess, and the standard is top-heavy.
So after Jiang Beiran decided on the candidate, he immediately drew up a reform pie for Shi Hongfang, no, it was a blueprint.
If Linglongfang really wants to develop, it must step out of its comfort zone and carry out a major reform.
As for himself, at most he could gain a little benefit from the process.
Um.
Just a little.
Shi Hongfang was very happy after reading the blueprint Jiang Beiran drew for him. He immediately made the decision and expressed his full support.
The next question came to Shi Weiyi.
Because Jiang Beiran's first plan is to send Xuanfang, the young men he has selected, to major Xuanyi clubs, but the famous Xuanyi clubs are not so easy to get into, so Shi Weiyi's skills have to be used.
Diplomatic relations, open the back door and let them in.
The second step is to wait for them to grow up and then be able to provide feedback to the Shi family. They can not only bring back advanced teaching concepts, but also help connect the Shi family with these Xuanyi societies.
Of course, it is still quite difficult to completely change the system of Shijia Linglongfang with so many people, but because the cake Jiang Beiran painted looks delicious enough.
In addition, Shi Hongfang, the owner of the workshop, always wanted to see him doing practical things, so how could he let go of such an opportunity?
In this way, under the circumstances that they each had Xiao Jiujiu, the two hit it off.
Now it’s up to Shi Weiyi.
After lowering his head and thinking for a while, Shi Weiyi looked at Jiang Beiran and said, "Tell me your plan in detail."
"yes."
In response, Jiang Beiran painted the cake that he had already painted for Shi Hongfang once more to Shi Weiyi. Facing this seductress, Jiang Beiran also painted more sesame seeds on the cake to show him.
It tastes more fragrant.
After reading it, Shi Weiyi flipped through the roster again, suddenly showed a meaningful smile and said: "Bei Ran, are you cultivating talents for the Shi Mansion, or are you cultivating talents for yourself?"
'Old fox...'
[Option 1: "Of course it is to cultivate talents for the Shi family." Completion reward: Wujin Secret Book (prefecture-level low-grade)]
[Option 2: "Both for the Shi family and for myself." Completion reward: Shaluo Xuanjuan (Xuan-level top grade)]
[Option 3: "As you said, sage, we have been a family for a long time, so why do we need each other?" Completion reward: random basic attribute point +1]
'What a guy! High emotional intelligence!'
However, Jiang Beiran did not expect that Shi Weiyi would also like to hear such words. Of course, the premise is that he has indeed done a lot for the Shi family, and this sentence is well-founded.
Choosing three, Jiang Beiran smiled and replied: "Sage, what you said is that we have been a family for a long time, so why should we be separated from each other?"
[Optional mission completed, reward: Charm +1]
‘Gan! Why have you become handsome again!? I’m so angry!’
While Jiang Beiran roared in his heart, Shi Weiyi laughed heartily.
"Hahahaha, that's good, but my little family is angry. In this case, this matter will be taken care of by me."
"Then I'll leave it to the sages."
"Hey, don't think about leaving everything to me. It's you who made the plan. It's up to you to direct how to implement it."
"Please rest assured, sage, on this point, I will naturally not become a hands-off shopkeeper."
"That's good."
Then after chatting some more about the Xuanyi Association in various places, Jiang Beiran said goodbye and left.
On the way, Jiang Beiran opened the backup list and looked at it for a while, thinking about how to allocate them.
This time Jiang Beiran didn't just put those guys who passed the first level of screening in the system on the list, but also put all the guys with potential on the list.
In this way, it can confuse the audience, and secondly, it can make his cake more delicious.
Counting the previous ones, Jiang Beiran spent a full five days screening the younger brothers this time. In the end, only eight younger brothers were screened out, not even the sixteen Xuanmen arts, which made him feel a little regretful.
However, Jiang Beiran also knew that this kind of thing cannot be rushed, so he thought that eight would be eight, and it would be very useful to train them well.
At this moment, what Jiang Beiran needed to do in the Shi family finally came to an end. However, he did not plan to return to Sheng State directly. Instead, he wanted to go to Qi State first. Except for Liang Yi Miyu, he still had no one to pick up from Lin Shiyun.
Besides, he has one more thing to do in Qi State.
Picking up the cirrus tube and blowing out auspicious clouds, Jiang Beiran sat on it and flew towards Qi State.
I have to say that the Six Kingdoms is really a good place to earn points. After leaving Shi Mansion, Jiang Beiran easily triggered the system options ten times, then rested overnight and set off again the next day.
Jiang Beiran, who had long been accustomed to this rhythm, didn't care at all. Whenever he stopped, he would find something to do. Whether it was studying formations or looking for Gu insects, there was always something he couldn't finish.
It can be said that since he came to this world, he has become an insulator of "boring" and will always live an extremely fulfilling life.
On this day, Jiang Beiran passed by a small village. Just like the sentient beings he had seen in Qi State before, although the cultivators of the Six Kingdoms were strong, most of the people still lived in water and fire.
When Jiang Beiran entered this small village, he noticed that the place seemed to have just been swept by the plague. There were white cloths hanging everywhere in the village. After scanning it with his spiritual power, he found that there were almost no people in the village.
This state is very common. The people cannot resist the plague, so they have no other choice but to escape.
After leaving the village, Jiang Beiran continued to walk forward.
The reason why he didn't take Xiangyun was because he was almost at the border of Qi State and had entered the range of the national defense formation. If he continued flying, he would be in trouble if he was regarded as a stowaway.
In addition, he did not rent a carriage, and walked towards the important border town of Qi State as if it was a tourist trip, while admiring the scenery along the way.
After walking like this all day, when the sun was about to set, Jiang Beiran saw a small town not far away. Feeling a little greedy, he took out a few coins and walked over there.
"You rely on your parents at home, you rely on your friends when you go out, you rely on your feet to see new people in precious places, and you rely on the help of your friends to build a city wall that is as high as ten thousand feet."
"Dear fellow villagers, brothers and sisters, today I am here for the first time in Guibao. Since I have no money, I am performing here. I hope you who have money will support you and those who have no money will support you! Thank you all in advance!"
"Hey Delongdong~ Heidelongdong~Needles and threads, hairpins for hairpins, tobacco pouches and pots~The basin is flat, but flat, porcelain is flat~"
…
At the entrance of the town, various shouts reached Jiang Beiran's ears.
There are performers and people selling goods.
Although there are practitioners in this world, the performance of busking is still like crushing rocks on the chest and stabbing the throat with a sharp spear.
After all, it is impossible for cultivators to perform in front of ordinary people, so for most ordinary people, this kind of performance is quite exciting.
After bypassing the crowd, Jiang Beiran was about to continue walking in when he suddenly saw a woman wearing a white mourning dress kneeling in a corner of the street, with five corpses covered with white cloth lying behind her.
Just when Jiang Beiran was about to walk over and take a look, he saw two guards walking up to the woman and shouting: "Let's go! I just ran away from you once, why did you come back again? You have to force grandpa to do it, right?"
"Master, I beg you to show me your kindness. I am desperate and sold myself here to bury my whole family. As soon as I find a master who is willing to buy me, I will leave immediately."
After hearing this, the guard burst into laughter, took out an iron ruler from his waist, picked up the girl's white hat and said: "You are such an ugly ghost, who will buy you? You'd better pack up and get out of here.
This is an eyesore."
Just as the officer said, the woman under the white hat has a gray face and deep eyes. She can be said to be ugly and unsightly, which attracted a burst of ridicule from passers-by who came to watch the excitement.
"Oh my God, there are such ugly women in this world."
"Ouch, I'm afraid I'll have nightmares when I go back."
"Get away! Don't stink to my children."
…
Hearing the sarcasm from the people, the officer became even more happy, "Did you hear that, the people are also telling you to get out of here, but I am not merciless, so hurry up and leave!"
But the woman hugged the officer's leg and said, "Please, please let me kneel here for a while. I really have nowhere to go, so I can only stay here, please..."
"screw you!"
Before the girl could finish her words, the guard kicked her away. At the same time, he took out the iron ruler from his waist again and shouted: "If you don't drink a toast, you'll have to drink a fine wine, right? Okay, today I will loosen your bones!"
After saying that, he hit the girl on the shoulder with a ruler.
But just when the iron ruler was about to hit the girl, the guard suddenly felt a strong wind coming towards him and flew backwards.
"Ouch!"
The guard who fell to the ground screamed in pain.
When another officer saw it, he laughed and said, "Old Xu, what's wrong with you? You're so old that you can't even stand in a fight?"
"Bah!" Lao Xu spat at the guard and said, "A demonic wind just blew over and knocked me over!"
"Hahaha, you can make excuses. The sky is clear and the sun is shining brightly, where does the evil wind come from?"
"Damn it... I can still lie to you." Lao Xu got up from the ground, patted the dust on his butt, and walked towards the prostituted girl again.
"It's so damn unlucky that you're embarrassing me, so get out of here."
But the woman knelt on the ground and continued to beg for mercy, hoping that someone could bypass her.
"I'll give you face, right?" the guard said, raising the iron ruler again and drawing it towards the woman.
However, just like the time before, when the iron ruler was about to hit the woman, Lao Xu felt a strong wind coming and knocked him to the ground.
This time, no matter how stupid Old Xu was, he knew that someone must be playing tricks on him, but instead of asking loudly who was playing tricks on him, he put away the iron ruler and ran away with another guard.
"Hey, Lao Xu, what are you doing?" the servant who was suddenly pulled away asked with an inexplicable look on his face.
"I've been knocked down twice, can't you tell? There's an expert helping that woman, and he's probably a practitioner!"
"How can it be!?"
"I've eaten more salt than your kid has pooped. Leave now! Otherwise you and I will be in big trouble."
Seeing the two guards suddenly running away, the onlookers lost interest in continuing to watch. They laughed at "ugly girl" and "crazy bitch" a few more times and then gradually dispersed.
Seeing that the crowd dispersed, the girl breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the white paper that had been blown away, and knelt back in front of the five corpses.
There is nothing else on the white paper, just five words.
