Ruins of the past

In the south of Night City, there is a palace made of countless huge stones.

The entire palace is majestic. Regardless of the gate, pillars or eaves, it is several times larger than an ordinary house, as if it is the residence of a giant.

This place is called the Sara Palace, and it is said that it was the place where Buddha taught the Dharma in the past, and it can accommodate tens of thousands of disciples.

Since ancient times, this place has been one of the most important places in the City of Ten Thousand Buddhas and a holy place in the hearts of countless Buddhist disciples.

Now this Kui'an palace has become the residence of 'Chu Qiguang', and it is covered with living corpses and blood vessels inside and outside.

Lines of Buddhist fire floated in the palace, constantly releasing light and heat, illuminating the entire palace as bright as day.

However, jewelry, gold and silver, as well as various calligraphy, paintings, and antiques can be seen littered everywhere in the palace.

There was even a large piece of silver piled up like a mountain, with faint traces of someone lying on it.

Jinnu 888 was walking along the corridor towards the depths of the hall, and could hear people shouting from the front.

Female voice: "Ah! I don't want to work, I want to sleep all day."

Male voice: "No, the plan must be submitted, otherwise Wang Cailiang will not be able to start work."

Female voice: "I...I really can't hold it anymore..."

Male voice: "Keep on holding on! Now I need your eyes and ears to provide information. Come on, fill in the information on the several pieces of paper here."

Jinnu 888 walked into a five-meter-high stone door and saw a man and a woman lying on the palms of the demon Buddha, sighing as they looked at the various words and numbers displayed on the demon Buddha's flesh.

The man has sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, and is suave, and a thick and long cat tail is swaying behind his back.

Although the woman is young, she looks like a fish out of water, with a pair of big and bright eyes, and the bottom of her head seems to be full of legs.

This man and woman are Chu Qiguang and Zhou Yujiao.

The Chu Qiguang in front of him was Qiao Zhi in human form.

Ever since Chu Qiguang was taken into the divine realm by Taoist Master Xuanyuan, he turned into a human, pretended to be Chu Qiguang, led a group of strong men in Shuzhou back, and then managed the huge forces in Shuzhou with Jiaojiao. .

At first, Qiao Zhi felt nervous, excited and looking forward to this.

He told himself: ‘I will definitely not be like Chu Qiguang. ’

Qiao Zhi recalled that she didn't get enough sleep when she was studying, and she had to work overtime every day when she was working. Even after joining the Taoism, she still had to live on the construction site and couldn't even get a good night's sleep every day.

‘I want to be kind to the demon clan and make everyone’s life easier, so they don’t have to suffer as much as I did before. ’

At this moment, Jiaojiao pinched Qiao Zhi's neck angrily: "Who asked you to give them such a salary increase in the first place!"

"These monsters are so capable of giving birth. If the little monsters are born with congenital seeds, they will be able to start studying and work in a few days... It's too expensive! I can't afford to feed them!"

"And those monster refugees who escaped from other states! If they don't work hard, they just eat food and give birth to children! They even attack human caravans! Who asked you to let them in so casually!"

Qiao Zhi broke free from Jiaojiao's chokehold and argued: "You have the nerve to accuse me? Who was the one who insisted on repairing this Sala Palace and said he wanted to live here?"

"And in order to make your Hercules fly, the workshop spent a lot of money!"

Jiaojiao looked bitter when she heard this. When she first took charge of the Chamber of Commerce with Qiao Zhi, she was also extremely excited.

After calculating the assets held by the Chamber of Commerce and realizing that she had become the richest man in Shuzhou, she even repaired the Salo Palace and put mountains of gold and silver in it.

But then...

Jiaojiao said sadly: "Who knew that this year there would be a stock market crash in Lingzhou and Shuzhou first."

"Then the Lingzhou Chamber of Commerce was swallowed up by that brat Yong'an, leaving us with not a penny."

"Those natives and monsters in Shuzhou are still attacking them all day long, and they spent a lot of money to create living corpses to deal with them..."

"Huang Daoxu, a stinky bastard, came here to force donations. He wanted to take away one million taels of military expenses to fight in the East China Sea..."

"Now when I wake up every day, I know that the Chamber of Commerce has spent tens of thousands more taels. Do you think I feel better!"

Qiao Zhi also sighed: "There are more and more places to spend money in the entire Shuzhou every day, but there are fewer and fewer places where you can still make money."

"These monsters down there use the blood machines and venues we provide to work, and they still think about how to be lazy all day long. They are all a bunch of bastards."

"In short, we must reduce expenses and let the monsters below work more and get paid less."

"Otherwise, if we continue like this, the Chamber of Commerce will run out of money."

"This is the employee code I wrote. It stipulates the working hours every day, fines for arriving late and leaving early, as well as meal and toilet time... Take a look at it and send it out."

"Also, I decided to take turns to work overtime every night. Anyway, Buddhist fire lighting does not cost money. In the Buddhist world, it is the same during the day and night."

"Isn't this... not good?" Jiaojiao hesitated, "If you don't get enough sleep and rest, your work efficiency will be poor."

Qiao Zhi chuckled and said, "Hmph, I have already made someone to refine the Tianlecao recorded in ancient books. Just one puff will make you excited all night long without dozing off."

"From now on, we will provide Tianle grass to them for free during work hours."

"After they get addicted to it, they will eat it even after get off work. Then sell it to them at a high price."

"Also, I asked Li Yaofeng to design the monster Variety Beast. Look at this. It can transform into various monsters. Each one of them is as beautiful as a fairy! It is much more attractive than ordinary male monsters and female monsters. ."

"Next month I will open the Variety Beast store into the factory. As long as more monsters play with the Variety Beast, they will have no energy to give birth to little monsters."

"We have to wipe out all the casinos in Night City. Only we can open the casinos."

"From now on, the money earned in the factory will be spent in the factory. The money earned by letting them work will be spent on Tianlecao, Variety Beast, and Casino..."

Qiao Zhi looked at Jiaojiao and said, "How about it? Isn't this more reliable than your method of transforming everyone? You will only force the monsters to rebel."

Jiaojiao nodded repeatedly when she heard this, her eyes shining brightly: "Master Qiao, you are so amazing! How did you come up with so many good ideas?"

"I..." Qiao Zhi was stunned for a moment, and after a moment of silence, he said in a complicated tone: "I just repeated what some people have done."

At this moment, a voice sounded beside them, it was the voice of Jinnu 888: "Welcome, master, please give me whatever you want."

Qiao Zhi was stunned for a moment, then said, "Didn't you tell me not to call me master, but to call me king? Why..."

He turned his head and immediately began to tremble violently.

A gentle figure rang in the ears of Jiaojiao and Qiao Zhi: "It seems that there is too much money for you to handle, so you should leave it to me."

Natural disasters are really terrible. Book friends from Henan must be careful. Come on, Henan!
