Zi Chen is now in the midst of employing people, and the arrival of Tan Lin and Blau is a critical and timely blessing.
Zi Chen met the two of them in the lobby of the city lord's palace, and Blau sighed in his heart. He had robbed this place a few days ago, but he never thought that he would be sitting here drinking tea again.
I felt embarrassed, so I drank two more bowls of tea.
Zi Chen invited the two of them to join, and they did not refuse.
Zi Chen gave Blau the position of commander. After all, he was a fairy from the spiritual race, so being a commander was more than enough.
Next, Blau will be responsible for recruiting strong men, increasing the strength of the city, and preparing for future wars.
Let Deputy City Lord Kipling put aside his status and recruit some real talents, not just idle people.
Various tasks in a city started to operate again after being shut down for about ten days. At first, because everyone was not familiar with it, the efficiency was not as good as before. However, after a few days, the efficiency of work increased greatly.
The new recruits are all from the Eldar race, taking on important positions in the city for the first time, and all of them are working very hard.
And the reward is the same as the original blue one, very generous.
After the city's guards were reorganized, people patrolled the city every day.
At a glance, people were coming and going, but not a single person with any color or identity could be seen.
Tan Lin was extremely emotional. It was his lifelong wish to allow the Spiritual people to live with dignity.
Looking at the back figure in front of him, he felt nothing but gratitude.
Yes, the city lord did it.
Zi Chen left the city with Tan Lin and went to the place where they met.
Looking at the large green plants in front of him, Tan Lin was shocked, "How did it sprout so quickly? They were planted just a few days ago?"
"These are soul-nurturing flowers, not soul-eating flowers."
"Spirit-nurturing flowers? These are actually soul-nurturing flowers?"
Tan Lin's eyes were full of shock.
Zi Chen was a little surprised, "Do you know the soul-raising flower?"
Tan Lin nodded: "I heard my uncle say once that the soul-nurturing flower seeds are very expensive, far more than the soul-eating flower seeds. They have higher requirements for the living environment and the growth cycle is also very slow. However, the growth of the soul-eating flower elves is not
It has miraculous effects that only extremely powerful forces can have."
"really?"
Zi Chen's mood fluctuated.
Tan Lin nodded, "I did hear my uncle say at the beginning that ordinary city lords cannot afford this thing."
Looking at those plants, Tan Lin said again: "It's just that the growth cycle of the soul-nurturing flower is very slow. Are you sure this is a soul-nurturing flower and not a soul-eating flower?"
Zi Chen didn't respond, he was thinking about something.
His soul-raising flower belongs to the third generation. In addition to its good appearance, the soul-raising flower spirit also has other abilities.
For example, it grows and sprouts instantly, and its growth cycle is not fixed.
It can take one year, ten years, a hundred years, a thousand years, or even ten thousand years to produce seeds.
Just the effect is different.
For example, if you plant it for one year, there will be almost no spiritual power left in it. After refining, it will have little effect, but it can be used as spiritual flower seeds to continue planting.
If the seeds of the Soul-nurturing Flower can really be sold for much more than the price of the Soul-Eating Flower, if you provide them for free, will the God Realm be filled with Soul-nurturing Flowers in the future?
Soul-nurturing flowers are everywhere, so no one will continue to plant soul-eating flowers?
In this way, will the Spirit Clan also be able to reduce the number of deaths?
"grown ups……"
Tan Lin looked at Zi Chen.
Zi Chen came back to his senses and said, "Come with me."
He took Tan Lin to a land of soul-devouring flowers. Those responsible for guarding the place immediately saluted Zi Chen when they saw him.
Zi Chen asked if any corpses had been delivered recently and was informed that there had been none.
Zi Chen nodded, and then took out the spiritual flower in front of everyone.
The next moment, the Soul-Eating Flower devoured a large area of Soul-Eating Flowers. After devouring it, it began to sprinkle the Soul-Nursing Flower seeds, and then sprinkled a ray of light, and these Soul-nurturing Flower Seeds sprouted again.
Tan Lin's eyes widened and he was shocked.
Others knelt on the ground and shouted for miracles.
"These are soul-nurturing flowers and will not devour life. From now on, you will guard them here to prevent anyone from stealing them."
After Zi Chen left these words, he took Tan Lin to another place.
After a whole day, Zi Chen and Tan Lin planted patches of soul-nurturing flowers. After planting, these soul-nurturing flowers sprouted instantly.
The reason why Zi Chen brought Tan Lin here was because he wanted him to take the Soul-raising Flower to complete these tasks in the future.
Compared to the scheming Blau, Zi Chen believed in Tan Lin very much. Shedding tears over the death of an ordinary spirit race would not do any harm.
When he went back in the evening, Zi Chen called Kiplin.
Kipling was no longer as scared as before, but he was still very nervous.
Although we have been together for the past few days, the new city lord seems very gentle, but he is not at all ambiguous when it comes to killing people.
"Sir, do you have anything to do with me?" Kipling stood there respectfully.
"Sit, sit, don't be formal."
Zi Chen poured a cup of tea for Kipling. It wasn't that he didn't want to pour wine, but it was because he didn't dare to drink it.
"I came to you this time to ask if you know anything about soul-nourishing flowers?"
Although the deputy city lord in front of him is only an immortal, Zi Chen believes that his knowledge is definitely more than this.
Although Kipling was confused as to why the adults were asking about this thing, he didn't ask any more questions and directly told Zi Chen everything he knew about the soul-raising flower, including some gossip.
It is not much different from what Tan Lin said, spiritual flower seeds are very rare and difficult to buy.
Even more precious than Zi Chen imagined!
Zi Chen asked again: "Do you think there will be sales if we plant spiritual flowers here in the future?"
"Are you kidding me? If we really had spiritual flower seeds here, we would be very prosperous."
Looking at Zi Chen who was silent, Kiplin reacted and quickly knelt down, saying with fear and fear: "My lord, please atone for your sins. I have no intention of offending you!"
Zi Chen waved his hand, "Get up, you are a deputy city lord after all, how can you be so polite to kneel down when you meet him?"
Then Zi Chen told the other party the truth, that he could help harvest a year's worth of spiritual flower seeds.
Kipling suppressed his shock, "Sir, are you sure that the harvested spiritual flower seeds are comparable to those from the outside world?"
"That's natural, but the prerequisite is that you have to nurture it yourself for dozens or hundreds of years, otherwise it won't work!"
He is naturally confident about this matter.
"It's successful, sir, we are prosperous!"
Kipling looked excited. He grabbed Zi Chen's arm with both hands and shook it vigorously, "Sir, we are rich! We are rich!"
Then I realized something was wrong and quickly knelt down again.
"okay."
Zi Chen waved his hand, and a ray of light flew out to stop Kiplin from kneeling, "Tell me, how can you be so prosperous? Is it really marketable?"
"If what you say is true, there is no need to worry about selling this product at all. Not to mention other places, just the few shops in our city can buy them all."
"After all, they own more than just Ye Zhancheng's shops. Don't look at how much they have suffered all day long, but they all have strong financial resources."
"Once the news spreads, everyone will probably want to do business with you."
Kipling paused, "Even the lord!"
"Why?"
Zi Chen was puzzled, "Since this thing is so precious, why isn't it promoted everywhere? Why not plant this thing everywhere instead of planting soul-eating flowers?"
Kipling looked at Zi Chen's eyes and became weird. He thought to himself, "Sir, because of his strong fighting power, why is his brain a little bit unclear?" Of course, he didn't dare to say it clearly, "Sir, how long do you think the spiritual power needs to be cultivated before picking the spiritual flower?"
?”
Zi Chen pouted, "It goes without saying that the longer it takes, the better."
Zi Chen reacted instantly. No wonder the spiritual flower was not promoted everywhere. It turned out that after it was planted, it was no longer picked.
After all, an old spirit-nurturing flower is comparable to a small spirit-gathering array. Who would be so stupid as to cut down the spirit-nurturing flower and collect spiritual seeds for refining?
Zi Chen suddenly realized!
It seems that the little spirit soldier really gave him a treasure. The value of this thing is much higher than that of the soldier soul.
Why would the other party give such a treasure to me?
Just because you saw through the illusion?
Or is there another reason?
Kipling left, but Zi Chen did not show the excitement he should have after getting the treasure.
Because he thought of a very critical issue. Once the soul-nurturing flower seeds are scattered, the spiritual power of the God Realm will inevitably increase. The biggest beneficiaries at that time will actually be the Gods or the Immortal Soul Clan.
Because they occupy huge resources, these resources will also rise with the tide, and their realm will naturally improve faster.
Relatively speaking, the Eldar's gains are not large.
However, after thinking about it, Zi Chen felt that it could not be calculated like this. Although the Spiritual Clan would not get much benefit, it would save a lot of people from dying, but it was real.
You only have one life, and being alive is the greatest benefit.
"We have to seize the time to sow more seeds in the past few days, and we will harvest them in a year."
Zi Chen began to look forward to the scene of selling spiritual flower seeds, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Suddenly, Zi Chen suppressed his smile and reached out to slap his forehead hard, "Silly! Why do you have to wait until a year later? Wouldn't it be better to just sell the sprouted soul-raising flowers?"
The finished product is not sold, and the seeds have to be sold after a year.
Zi Chen felt that his IQ had significantly regressed, so he left the city overnight and began planting spiritual flowers within a radius of 500 miles outside the city.
Even though the soul-nurturing flowers are large in size, it still took Zi Chen two days and two nights to plant all the soul-nurturing flowers within a radius of 500 miles.
Zi Chen returned to the city lord's mansion and found the deputy city lord Kiplin standing at the door, followed by more than a dozen people.
"grown ups!"
After seeing Zi Chen, everyone immediately saluted.
"Is something wrong?"
Zi Chen looked confused, it seemed like they had been standing here for a long time.
Kipling looked troubled.
"Come in and talk."
Zi Chen entered the city lord's mansion and found that only Kiplin walked in while the others were waiting outside.
"Sir, they are the shopkeepers whose shops suffered losses."
"Hasn't it been tax-free for hundreds of years?"
When Bulao led his men to plunder those shops, and after Zi Chen became the lord of the city, these merchants complained repeatedly, so Zi Chen exempted them from taxes for a hundred years.
"Sir, what they want is for you to take back your life, and the taxes will still be paid as before."
Kipling was a little confused: "It's just that they hope that adults will let them do the business of raising spiritual flower seeds."
Zi Chen laughed when he heard this, "As expected of a profit-seeking businessman, he always knows how to maximize profits."
Kipling stopped talking. It was already good that he had the courage to come to the adults. He did not dare to give any more suggestions for fear of adding more meaning to the situation.
"Tell them that I don't plan to sell spiritual flower seeds anymore."
Kipling was startled when he heard the sound. He had already inquired about what happened outside the city, and found that those were indeed spiritual flowers.
In the future, they will have spiritual flower seeds here, and there will be many more.
"I plan to sell the spirit-nurturing flower seedlings, the ones outside the city now. If they are willing to buy them, I will quote you directly. Of course, the quantity given to them may not be too much, because next I have to make a deal with the city owner in the nearby city
