Building a sect from scratch

Although the barbecue restaurant is popular, the order is not slow at all. Since Jing Jie Zi and Ling Xuan were two brothers and sisters, they hit it off immediately, so the four of them simply decided to share a table.

By the time everyone sat down and ordered their meals, Jing Jiezi had already learned a lot about Chang'an City from the other three people. Even how to "use" players cheaply - that is, Taiyin Sect disciples - he learned from Ling Xuan. Learned.

"You just need to pick up some worthless but unpopular elixirs and gadgets. The ones with exclusive formulas are better. In short, they are not sold on the market. Then go to them and tell them to give them the task. Nine times out of ten, someone will take it, or There is a simpler way. After you buy a house, put up a notice board at the door specifically posting the things you need players to do and the rewards. There will be a bunch of Taiyin Sect disciples rushing to take over your tasks! Now I don’t have to sort out the medicinal ingredients myself, I can get fresh Lingquan Water from the players every day, which is very convenient!”

Ling Xuan deliberately lowered her voice and looked around a few times. She felt that the people around her didn't look like players, so she carefully taught the skills. At the end, she added some precautions: "Just remember to mark the task. time, otherwise those Taiyin Sect disciples could get you out of bed in the middle of the night!"

Jie Jiezi was dumbfounded when he heard this, and his conscience even ached a little: "Isn't this something bad?"

Ling Xuan said confidently: "What's wrong with this! Everyone gets what they need! Among the disciples of Taiyin Sect, there is a kind of person called the 'Collector Party' or the 'Garbage Party', who like to collect some strange things. They even spent a lot of money to buy a kind of elixir that I had made useless. It was said that it was 'easy to trick others' and so on, and they wanted to add money to customize it, but it was a pity that I made a copy of it myself. Don’t come out! In short, these Taiyin Sect disciples are the most worthless labor force in Chang’an City!”

He couldn't help but sigh: "So that's it. After hearing these introductions from several Taoist friends, I always feel that everyone in Chang'an City, even ordinary mortals, are very wealthy. It is really a rare scene to see!"

"I heard my professor say this. It's actually a question of labor liberation and the difference in gross product."

Lingxuan had signed up for a major course in social economics and happened to understand a little bit about it. At this time, she began to show off proudly, trying to introduce it in plain words: "To put it simply, the mortals in the past had to live for a long time because they had to fill their stomachs and survive. Naturally, there is no way to invest in other industries and fields. In other words, their labor force is trapped in the fields! It is different here in Chang'an City. First of all, as long as you are in the city, you don't have to worry. Safety is an issue. Secondly, even when farming, there are many ways to improve efficiency. For example, when there is a drought, players are asked to pray for rain. When harvesting, players are asked to pray for clear weather. Unlike in the past, such weather disasters could only be left to fate or spend a lot of money for help. Local monks.

"Furthermore, for example, when cutting wheat, it is so slow for ordinary people to use sickles. If you hire a monk to use flying swords and wind blades to harvest, you can cut several acres with just one stick of incense! Then the efficiency is different!

"Also, there are special low-priced spiritual fertilizers on the market, which can not only shorten the maturity time of crops, but also increase the yield! In this way, a family of seven or eight people worked hard for a year just to have enough food and clothing. , and in Chang'an City, the food grown by one person can feed hundreds of people! In this case, wouldn't it free up a lot of labor force?

"Those who can have enough to eat without farming can join other industries, such as handicrafts and manufacturing. Farmers have spare money to buy food, drink, and send their children to school. This leads to the support of other traffickers and lackeys. Over time, the entire society Then everyone will be rich!

"In the final analysis, it's because other sects don't treat mortals as human beings! Among other things, although it is difficult for the disabled to practice, they don't have to be monks to make clothes, bake bricks, build bridges, and pave roads. Do it, but those sects either use demon cultivators as slaves or handyman disciples and outer sect disciples. There is no need for these people who know some magic and are literate. There are clearly better places to go!

"For another example, some demon cultivators who are cultivated from wild flowers and trees are much better at planting trees, grass, and cultivating flowers and fruits than the handyman disciples in large sects! There are specializations in the arts, and as long as there is no discrimination between professions, they can always Putting the right people in the right positions will greatly increase the total social product!”

Du Cihuai had heard Ling Xuan talk about these things many times. When he first came to Chang'an City, he could hardly accept living with mortals. Later, he made a few gamer friends inexplicably. , suddenly her personality was reversed. Instead, she admired everything in Chang'an City, and even resented herself more than once for not being able to go to the Blue Star Realm to see the "Holy Land" in her mind.

Therefore, whenever there was a chance, Ling Xuan tried her best to instill her own ideas into the newly arrived monks. Du Cihuai was already used to it. Hearing this, he started to talk in a long way again. He suddenly laughed and said: "Hahahaha, junior sister, In the words of their players, you are now dyed red!"

When Ling Xuan heard this, she became a little angry: "Humph! If nothing else, I don't believe you don't like Chang'an City? This barbecue restaurant alone can control you for a hundred years!"

Just as the waiter brought the first batch of dishes, Du Cihuai hurriedly took out a handful of barbecue and put it on Ling Xuan's plate, begging for mercy: "Okay, okay, I'm scared of you! You'd better eat it while it's hot!"

Then, he divided it into two handfuls and put them on the plates of Song Bozheng and Jingjiezi respectively, then took out a small pancake and a few chopped shallots and rolled it up skillfully.

While rolling it, Du Cihuai praised: "Fellow Daoist Jing, Fellow Daoist Song, I learned this way of eating from a disciple of Taiyin Sect. It is said that it is very popular there, and the taste is really good!"

Ling Xuan was disdainful of this: "Tsk! Fancy, barbecue is for eating meat! Eating pancakes takes up too much space in the stomach!"

Du Cihuai squinted and deliberately asked: "Really? But it seems that the most you eat every time is grilled squid, right?"

"Seafood is also meat! Humph!"

Ling Xuan said, adding a layer of bright red chili powder to a string of squid, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and ate it with relish.

It was the first time for Jingjiezi to eat this kind of barbecue, and he could hardly control the speed of saliva secretion, and even ate it in a bit of a mess.

As a monk who had been practicing for a long time, Jingjiezi had not eaten well for a long time. He would eat barbecue occasionally. For example, when he saw the kitchen monks next door eating a lot, he would go to the wild to catch two pheasants or rabbits, add some salt and roast them. It was also a rare delicacy.

But the rare delicacy in his memory was compared with the rich seasoning and heavy taste of the barbecue in front of him, which was simply "unbearable to look back on"! (End of this chapter)
