Primordial Era: Reborn as Taiyi, I Don't Need Brothers

Chapter 46 Before the emergence of humanity, Heaven and Earth did not allow humans to become saints.

Upon hearing what Wang Shu said!

Taiyi smiled!

"Your Majesty need not worry. Your path to enlightenment is nearing completion. The reason you have been slow to achieve it is not because of you, but because of the workings of Heaven and Earth. It has nothing to do with the Heavenly Court's salary system!" Taiyi addressed Wangshu as "Your Majesty," which was the meaning of the Heavenly Court's Empress. Wangshu, in turn, addressed Taiyi as "Husband," treating him as her sovereign.

"My lord, tell me in detail. I have been troubled these days. I always thought that there were still some important things in the Heavenly Court that had not been reformed, which led to the stagnation of the Dao Fruit. This has left me exhausted and my primordial spirit has weakened." Wang Shu looked at Taiyi and said with a smile.

"It's actually very simple. Between heaven and earth, there is an ancestor, namely the Immortal Ancestor and the Divine Ancestor. Hongjun and I are promoters of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, and thus we have received the opportunity of creation. It is the blessing of the Qi of Heaven and Earth. However, the saints or primordial beings of later generations are not worth the Qi of Heaven and Earth expending to bless them, because the appearance of each saint or primordial being will be a burden to Heaven and Earth!" Taiyi looked at Wangshu and explained softly.

The primordial world is like a vast nation! This nation now supports two institutions: the Mysterious Heavenly Dao, which governs the laws governing the world, and the Divine Heavenly Court, which protects the resources of the earth!

The burden on heaven and earth is already very heavy.

As the economy develops, it becomes unable to support more institutions!

"My husband, when will I be able to achieve Hunyuan?" Wang Shu looked at Taiyi and asked earnestly.

"Before the emergence of humanity, Heaven and Earth did not allow humans to achieve the state of Hunyuan. Only when Heaven, Earth, and humanity are in perfect harmony can sages appear. When humanity flourishes, the positions of Heaven and Earth can be perfected. Therefore, it is often said that Heaven creates all things to nourish humanity. What do humans give back to Heaven and Earth? In fact, the existence of this saying only came about with the emergence of humanity!" Taiyi said leisurely, looking at Wangshu.

"Humanity?" Wang Shu looked at Taiyi with some confusion.

At that time, the concept of humanity did not exist in the primordial world, and naturally, there were no beings like humans!

"All beings with innate Dao bodies can be called human beings!" Taiyi continued.

"But, my lord," Wang Shu said, looking at Taiyi, "the issue of the treatment of Heavenly Court personnel still needs to be regulated. Shouldn't the salaries of technical personnel be lower than or equal to those of administrative staff? Or should we set a range based on the Star Gods?" Although Taiyi's explanation calmed her down, she still wanted to resolve the issues concerning the Heavenly Court.

Taiyi went to visit Shu!

The issue of compensation for Xing Shen and other project personnel is essentially just a matter of compensation for civil servants and public institution employees.

"Your Majesty, did someone report this salary issue to you? Or...?" Taiyi looked at Wangshu and asked, somewhat puzzled.

"This problem was reported to me by Bai Ze. He said that the technical personnel in each project area are currently being paid significantly more than the Star Gods. After checking, I found that to be true. Therefore, I think we should join forces with the Emperors to reduce their pay!" Wang Shu said to Tai Yi with a smile.

"From now on, just listen to Bai Ze's advice in reverse, and you'll never go wrong!" Taiyi said with a sigh to Wangshu.

"Husband, why is this?" Wang Shu was still puzzled!

She was born a deity, but her grasp of human nature and divine nature was still lacking!

"The Star Gods of the Heavenly Court are mostly Taiyi, with a small portion being Daluo. They only barely possess the strength of Daluo through the authority of the Star Gods. Therefore, it's not that the Heavenly Court needs them, but rather that they need the Heavenly Court, because the authority of the Star Gods can enhance their strength, and they can prioritize the allocation of starlight. In this situation, our Heavenly Court should assign more tasks and give less treatment to these kinds of gods, because the authority itself is already too much for them. In fact, in the future, the Star Gods can even compete for their positions, and a new selection will be made every era to increase their sense of crisis and give them more motivation to work hard and start businesses," Taiyi analyzed for Wang Shu.

Wang Shu nodded thoughtfully.

"As for the technical personnel of each project, they are all talents in various fields, proficient in array formations, weapon forging and other businesses. Even if they do not join the Heavenly Court, other forces will definitely accept them in the future. Therefore, what the Heavenly Court can do for them is to raise their treatment to a high level. From the beginning, their treatment should be higher than that of their peers. In fact, the treatment of professional and technical personnel should be one level higher than that of administrative personnel! Only in this way can we retain them!" Taiyi continued.

Ultimately, it all comes down to a supply and demand issue!

There are just too many hidden resources in an administrative position.

Wang Shu frowned, still somewhat puzzled!

"Not everyone in Heaven is a good person, and we don't always have to listen to the advice of our subordinates. Sometimes, what someone says may seem right on the surface, but we can't accept it. If someone is clearly a bad person, but he is useful to us, we can keep him! Because a treacherous minister can only rely on the monarch, so he is useful." Taiyi took the opportunity to instill the way of the emperor in Wangshu.

Wang Shu's eyes lit up! In the world of immortals and gods, there is no right or wrong, only interests and the Great Dao!

Therefore, they never consider right or wrong, only personal relationships and interests!

"So, my lord, you must distinguish your subordinates by whether they are useful or not. Some immortals and gods are incompetent but useful, while others are capable but useless. Find a solid and difficult position for the capable, bind them with righteousness, and stabilize them with good treatment, so that they can keep working. For those who are incompetent, find them a position that even a dog can hold onto, and let them stand up and be a dog when needed!" Wang Shu said.

"Actually, there's no need to be so extreme!" Taiyi was speechless. Although the Machiavellianism of emperors was useful, it wasn't a good thing that Wangshu grasped it too quickly.

Wang Shu left, satisfied with what he had accomplished. After his Machiavellian tactics, Wang Shu seemed to have opened a new door for the governance of the Heavenly Court!

Taiyi, on the other hand, chose to continue lying down!

It is said that after the golden lotus was cultivated, even the lotus seeds became crisp and crunchy, which was quite refreshing!

I just picked two!

I haven't even had a chance to put it in my mouth yet!

Another figure rushed in hurriedly!

"Fellow Daoist Taiyi, you should go and take a look, otherwise Fellow Daoist Hongyun will suffer a loss!" Nuwa, who had returned from the chaos and had been in seclusion for cultivation, suddenly came over and said.

"What's going on?" Taiyi looked at Nuwa with some confusion. There wasn't any major chaos in the world. What was she in such a hurry about?

"It's all because of the Wu Clan! Right now, the entire Zhou Mountain is overrun by the Wu Clan, and they're going to devour all the living beings on Zhou Mountain! Fellow Daoist Hongyun has already gone to confront them!" Nuwa said angrily. She was originally cultivating peacefully at home, but the Wu Clan kept causing trouble, disturbing the peace of the entire Zhou Mountain.

Therefore, Nuwa had no choice but to find Taiyi!
