It’s too dangerous to seize the direct descendant, so I choose to be the leader of the Demon Cult

Chapter 68 Is this what it feels like to be a big dog owner?

"What are you doing?"

"what happened!"

"You actually blocked the door of my Tenth Prince's Mansion?"

Zhao Ci used extremely brutal strength to squeeze directly into the crowd.

Look at Zhu Li.

Her eyes were a little blurry, and she had a silly smile on her face.

"Hey, hey hey..."

"What are you..."

Zhao Ci can't be punished, can he still be a spoiler?
When Zhu Li saw Zhao Ci coming, he said stupidly, "Is this what it feels like to be an official?"

Official?

Uh……

That's fine!

Damn, each of these people is more crooked than the last. How do you look like an official?

Zhao Ci asked in a deep voice: "What do these people do?"

Zhu Li didn't have time to answer.

Those people in front of the house bowed their hands in excitement one by one.

"Greetings to His Highness the Tenth Prince!"

"Your Highness! We are all students taking the Imperial Examination in Beijing. We heard that the Tenth Prince's Palace is recruiting officials, so we came here specifically to assist Your Highness."

"Your Highness, I live near the city of Linge. My family has a house and fields..."

Oh?
I’m here to take part in the imperial examination!

Zhao Ci suddenly realized that because there was a system for opening government offices, there was a system in Dayu's imperial examinations, which was to set up additional government examinations.

For the official imperial examination, only those who passed the exam could participate in the examination held in Linge.

But if you are below and have obtained the title of scholar and martial scholar at the same time, you can participate in the government examination. Those who pass the government examination will be qualified to stay in Linge as a minor official. If you are chosen by the person who opens the government, you can even enter directly. The government is an official.

For them, the small official position in Linge is not very attractive because it is impossible to get a lucrative official position.

But when you are a government official, you can make real achievements. Whether you embrace the prince's lap in the future or follow a wealthy government official back to your place, it is a very good choice.

The most important thing is that those who have transcended the physical realm have become a scholar. The dissatisfied scholar is exactly the kind of person who has good talent but is in urgent need of resources.

If they can be worshiped in the mansion, they can lay the foundation for their cultivation to the greatest extent.

Gee!

A few days ago, there were only a few people around, but as soon as Xingyu Danhui rose up, everyone came over.

However, Zhao Ci is still a little confused: "Isn't the government election going to be held soon? Come back after you pass it..."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was a little ashamed.

Zhu Li poked Zhao Ci's waist and said in a low voice: "The martial arts test in the government is very cruel. Many people are good at martial arts, but their families are poor and have no resources. There are many such people who will think about finding financial support from rich families in advance, but Rich people generally don’t bother to look at them.”

Zhao Ci thoughtfully said: "This way..."

Zhu Li whispered: "Actually, I think we might as well take advantage of the fact that the government examination hasn't started yet and make a good choice. Last night, I heard that the Zhu family and the Feng family summoned many young people from their in-laws' families to participate in the government examination. .

After passing the exam, these people directly entered the Zhao Yong Mansion as government officials. Most of their families were well-off and had a good foundation. This would be very detrimental to us. "

Zhao Ci's mouth twitched: "Is there still such an operation?"

The sect's mansion stipulates that at least five of the ten people in a mansion must not come from the seven meritorious families.

In addition, the other four government officials cannot be from the same meritorious family.

This regulation is mainly to prevent the existence of small groups and support young people from civilian backgrounds.

But I didn't expect that there is such an operation.

Using young talents from their respective in-law clans can indeed greatly improve the quality of government officials.

This wave of loopholes is really ridiculous.

"Fuju has been around for so long, and there are many ways to do it."

Zhu Li's little face was full of seriousness: "I was afraid that you didn't understand it when you first opened the mansion, so I asked someone specifically to ask. Otherwise, if a bunch of rookies in the mansion were taken out, I, the chief palace official, would lose face."

Zhao Ci: "..."

Does this mean he calls himself the chief government official?
But Zhu Li is right. The government examination has been around since the tenth year of the Kaifu system. After hundreds of years of development, there are really many ways to do it.

Although the old uncle was trustworthy, he didn't know why. He was obviously very resistant to establishing his own house and striving for merit, and he kept teaching him the art of salted fish.

He didn't even introduce anyone from the Xiang family, let alone a descendant from outside the family. Moreover, Xiang's foundation in Linge was already weak, and he had no intention of joining a team to compete for the throne. Even if he chose, he wouldn't be able to pick anything good. .

Difficult!
But having such a hard-working secretary like Zhu Li is really worry-free.

Zhao Ci turned around and took a look. There was a piece of red paper stuck on the wall. It said something like "Ten Princes' Mansion is sincerely recruiting officials". The fact that so many people gathered so early in the morning was probably the result of a night of fermentation.

He glanced at everyone, everyone's eyes were shining, and their expressions were full of enthusiasm.

At a rough count, there were more than 40 people.

He thought for a while: "Let's do this! Three days later, I will hold a banquet at the Tenth Prince's Mansion. Anyone who is qualified to participate in the government competition can participate, and everyone can show off their martial arts and talents to their heart's content.

I will select five people from among them to be my reserve officials. Anyone who can become my reserve official will directly receive a high-grade Qi training as long as they sign a contract on the spot that they will serve as an official in the Ten Princes' Mansion after passing the imperial examination. Dan. "

wow...

Hearing this, the crowd suddenly exploded.

In the past, high-grade Qi-training pills were a high-end luxury product costing 100 taels each, which was enough for a family of four to work for several years without food or water. It was simply not something they could afford.

You know, they will feel distressed for a long time if they buy a low-grade Qi training pill.

This is directly top quality...

I didn't expect Zhao Ci to be so generous.

The elixir directly worth 500 taels was sold.

"in addition……"

Zhao Ci smiled and added: "As long as you become an official of the Tenth Prince's Palace, before you break through the physical realm, you will be supplied with a high-grade Qi Training Pill every month, but there is a requirement that you must take it in front of me."

Whoa!
The crowd exploded again.

Most people are in their second year of entering the palace, trying to get a spot in the Physical Tower before breaking through to the Physical Realm.

In other words, in the first year of entering the mansion, the supply of Qi Training Pills alone was equivalent to a monthly salary of 100 taels.

This is a salary that most of them will never get in their lifetime.

Zhao Ci smiled lightly and said: "Welcome everyone to the banquet. In addition, we will help promote the ten princes' palaces. You can bring more from the same year. Even if you don't get the position of official, it would be good to have a meal together and become friends."

After saying that, he bowed his hands to everyone and pulled Zhu Li into the door.

a time.

Everyone present looked at each other, as if they had drunk fake wine.

I can't believe this is actually true.

They also went to a few other houses sporadically, but the Nine Princes' Mansion looked down upon them, and the other houses were not very interested in them, because they only had to wait until after the government election to select people, and there was no need to pay in advance.

Except for some business wizards, most governments will consider it when issuing extra salaries.

For officials who come from rich families, they may be willing to give up, but for officials who come from common people, then...

Here.

One high-quality Qi training pill every month.

With just these twelve Qi Training Pills, they can do without any merit for three years!

"Everyone! Only you and I know about this matter, but please don't spread it outside!"

"Yes! If there are more people, we will face more competition."

"It must be kept secret."

……

"Keep it a secret!"

Zhao Ci's five senses have become much more sensitive, so naturally he will not be unable to hear the whispers outside.

There are more than 40 people. Is it possible that everyone has a strict tone?

Besides, there were people passing by!
Zhu Li had a serious look on his face: "Your Highness! I have to say that you are a big dog. The cost of raising government officials is too high. Each of the five government officials has twelve pills. This is 6000 taels... …”

Zhao Ci grinned: "Can you calculate the cost of sixty pills?"

Zhu Li choked for a moment, thought for a while and said with a smile, "Yes!"

Now Xingyu Danhui’s elixir price is the lowest, but its profit margin is the highest.

After all, it is six times the output, and it is six times the output where labor costs account for the majority.

In addition, Xingyu Dan will be its own industry and can be purchased directly at cost price.

It really doesn't cost much.

This condition is enough to gather all the five people with the most potential in the entire government.

One advantage of recruiting these people is that they are not so arrogant. As long as the elixir is enough, they will not covet your achievements and are even willing to give you their own achievements.

After all, according to usual experience, government officials with civilian backgrounds trade their surplus value for their future.

Cheap!

Solid skin!It’s a bloody profit!
I have no foundation.

But the big dog owner has one ultimate skill, which is the ability to make money.

only……

Zhu Li sighed: "It's too late for you to open the palace. Those who can be called geniuses from several major families have been poached long ago. The remaining ones are unwilling because you offended the prince and the fourth prince. Take the risk.

I think you're a pretty nice person.

But you really don’t have a plan, so you only think about finding a hut when you are out of luck.

You are a stupid and high-profile person. You were so arrogant yesterday. Didn't you see that the prince and the fourth prince's faces turned green? "

Gee!
Do you think if I am not arrogant, there will be people rushing to become my official?

Zhao Ci raised his eyebrows: "I remember you were more arrogant than me at the time, and besides! Didn't you come up with these words yourself?"

Zhu Li looked embarrassed and said, "Luo Tang told me all this. She is my best friend. What she thinks of is what I think of. Our combined resourcefulness is unparalleled in the world!"

Zhao Ci: "..."

He rubbed his head: "Why did you come to my house so early in the morning? Didn't you say that Dan would have a day off today?"

"Oh!"

Only then did Zhu Li remember the business and took out a wooden sign from her arms: "Luotang asked me to bring you a message. We talked at the Yanghe Tea Pavilion at noon today. She has something to ask for.

correct!She said this is her own private matter, don't look at my face.If you don't want to help, just refuse. It won't affect the relationship between me, the chief official, and you. "

"You have the face of a hammer!"

Zhao Ci took the wooden sign. He had seen this thing before. It was the admission certificate for Yanghe Tea Pavilion. This place was considered a high-end private club.

Very stylish and very suitable for secret meetings.

He was a little curious and didn't know what Kan Luotang was looking for.

But no matter how he met her, although he wasn't particularly interested in his nominal fiancée, it wasn't considered to be a rejection.

Maybe I can help you complete a mission or something.

"Then I went back to rest?"

Zhu Li yawned.

"it is good!"

Zhao Ci nodded: "After today's rest, remember to work tomorrow! My order of 20 taels has to be rushed out."

Zhu Li waved her hand: "That's necessary! You count on me to live now!"

Zhao Ci: "..."

Watch this assembly line queen leave.

Zhao Ci stretched and walked directly to his practice room.

I remember Xiang Yunduan said that Feng Kucha wanted to enter the mansion very much now, and he should come to find him in the morning.

Just practice shooting first.

He walked to the weapon rack and looked at the heavy gun made by Xiang Yunduan, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise slightly.

The tip of this gun is made of fine dark iron, the shell of the gun barrel is also made of extremely hard tungsten steel, and the core of the gun barrel is even filled with lead.

Doesn't look bloated at all.

But in fact, it weighs a full 350 kilograms. For most people who have not yet condensed the physical divine marks, this is a number that they dare not even think about.

What stands out is that one person can defeat all laws with one force.

Zhao Ci also consulted the information and decided to make this blueprint based on the limits that the second-grade flesh could be used.

After all, according to his expectations, his cultivation has entered the realm of perfection in the Supreme Body Refining Art, and his second-grade body should be more reliable.

Unexpectedly, I got the Huangji Pill and the Demonic Body.

Reach out.

Hold the barrel of the gun.

"Huh!"

really!

Not heavy at all.

It even feels a little light!

Zhao Ci was quite excited and used a few basic marksmanship skills without any hindrance.

If there were any outsiders here, they would definitely think that what Zhao Ci was playing with was just a wooden gun that weighed less than ten kilograms.

"Cool!"

Zhao Ci took a long breath. Although he only had basic marksmanship, with his own strength and the weight of the gun body, it would not be so easy for people below the physical level to get through it.

but……

He tried some more lethal shooting techniques, but he felt that all the meridians in his body were extremely painful.

"no!"

"This weight is still too heavy a burden on the meridians."

"Before entering the muscle-changing period, you still can't be too presumptuous."

Zhao Ci frowned slightly. Although his marksmanship was already proficient, and his instinct alone could make up for the shortcomings of his moves, the basic spear moves were basic spear moves after all, and he still suffered some losses after all.

Some headaches.

and many more!

His eyes suddenly turned to a piece of talisman paper.

[Suppression Talisman]: Stick on the target to prevent the physical body from deteriorating in all senses, lasting for a quarter of an hour.

Prevent deterioration in any sense.

In other words... the muscles and bones will not be broken.

This quarter of an hour is the time for me to activate Wushuang?
Zhao Ci's eyes lit up. He originally thought it was a talisman to delay injuries, but he didn't expect it to be a talisman for madness. He had to keep it well.

He reviewed the descriptions of the other talismans again.

Then he returned to the practice of marksmanship.

Now, he urgently needs to find a style of play that suits his current situation.

Because conflicts with other practitioners are bound to happen sooner or later.

unconsciously.

An hour and a half passed.

Zhao Ci wiped the sweat from his forehead, went out and looked at the sky, feeling a little weird.

Although Feng Kucha is very lazy.

But it’s already this hour, there’s no reason why I haven’t gotten up!

There is still an hour to go to Kan Luotang's appointment.

Now is the time to go to Feng Mansion to have a look.

After all, the Feng Ji Notes were quite precious, and he would be really embarrassed to use them without bringing Feng Kucha to enjoy a wave of glory and wealth.

Go out.

Get in the carriage.

Go down with a whip.

The carriage rushed towards Feng Mansion.

As usual, the Feng family's concierge did not stop him and enthusiastically took him to the small courtyard where Feng Kucha lived.

As a result, I didn't even have time to knock on the door.

I heard a shrill scream coming from inside.

"Master Kucha! The slave family really can't stand it anymore."

"Just let me turn into a human form!"

"The snake's tail is almost split by you!"

then.

A woman with the body of a snake's tail ran out of the yard like crazy.

A prickly face is actually quite good-looking. In her previous life, she must have been a top female internet celebrity.

But at this time, her beauty turned pale and she burst into tears.

Feng Kucha's voice followed closely: "Fart! A snake's tail is better... Huh? Zhao Ci, why are you here at this time again?"

He looked embarrassed.

Lift up your pants again.

The corner of Zhao Ci's mouth twitched: "Didn't you say that you want to give this snake girl to me to seek a position as a government official?"

"me……"

Feng Kucha had a painful look on his face: "I thought about it all night last night, and I feel like I don't have much ability. Isn't being your official just a drag on you? After thinking about it, forget it, and this snake demon is really the best, I can't bear it. Just live in it.”

Zhao Ci: "???"
