Chapter 196

After the notice from Ye Qingxuan was issued.

What Ye Qingxuan didn't expect was that the first person to purchase a house in Dongxuan City would be Bai Qingan, the Vice Pavilion Master of the Bai Bao Ge's main pavilion.

Ever since Bai Qingan learned about the conditions for shops to settle in Dongxuan City last time, he had passed the information back to the Bai Bao Ge.

The Bai Bao Ge received the information passed back by Bai Qingan and directly dismissed the idea of opening a branch pavilion in Dongxuan City.

With the current size of the Bai Bao Ge, one more branch pavilion wasn't much, and one less wasn't much, so it wouldn't go to great lengths.

As a neutral faction promoted to the outside world, the Bai Bao Ge's stance didn't allow them to make small moves against Dongxuan City because of this.

Although the task had ended, Bai Qingan himself didn't leave Dongxuan City for the time being.

Not knowing what his purpose was, he directly purchased a courtyard house in the mortal urban area of Dongxuan City.

In order to purchase the courtyard house in the mortal urban area of Dongxuan City.

Bai Qingan even specifically went to the task hall of Dongxuan City and accepted several weapon refining tasks.

Then he directly took out magic treasures and submitted the tasks on the spot to obtain contribution points.

Ye Qingxuan didn't know what kind of ghost idea Bai Qingan was playing, but he didn't interfere with Bai Qingan's behavior.

Since it was a task, the value of the contribution points obtained would naturally be lower than the task itself.

So no matter what, he, Ye Qingxuan, wouldn't lose out.

As long as Bai Qingan didn't violate the Dongxuan laws of Dongxuan City, other things were Bai Qingan's freedom, and Ye Qingxuan had no reason to interfere.

Now, what Ye Qingxuan was worried about was the City Lord's Mansion of Dongxuan City.

So far, the City Lord's Mansion of Dongxuan City only had Ye Qingxuan himself.

Dongxuan City was not a small city like the Mysterious Mall in the Xuanmu Realm; the affairs that needed to be handled by the City Lord's Mansion every day were very heavy.

In Dongxuan City, just the Dongxuan Academies alone numbered a full 10,800.

Plus the rental and trading affairs of houses and shops in Dongxuan City, the daily operation of the task hall, etc., all required a large amount of manpower.

Under normal circumstances, these things were managed by the major stewards of the City Lord's Mansion.

But now, the City Lord's Mansion of Dongxuan City had no one to use, and the people temporarily called upon were still from the Dongxuan City Guard.

But this was not a long-term solution.

The main responsibility of the Dongxuan City Guard was to patrol Dongxuan City and accept various tasks outside Dongxuan City.

The responsibility they needed to bear was also not light.

"It seems I have to find a way."

Ye Qingxuan showed a look of thought in his eyes.

Using puppets was definitely not okay.

Ordinary puppets had too low flexibility.

The puppets in the shops of the Dongxuan Market now were controlled by a wisp of spiritual sense injected by Ye Qingxuan.

If too many puppets were controlled, it would inevitably involve a large amount of his own energy.

So Ye Qingxuan didn't intend to use puppets to operate the entire City Lord's Mansion from the beginning.

Now that the policy for cultivators to settle in Dongxuan City had just been set, he couldn't recruit cultivators at will.

However, mortals were not subject to this restriction.

Just in terms of the population of Dongxuan City, mortal residents were the mainstream.

Although mortals had short lifespans, relatively slow thinking and action, and did things not as quickly as cultivators.

But they couldn't withstand the large number of mortals, right?

Now the entire Dongxuan City was under the cover of the array, and cultivators entering Dongxuan City didn't dare to easily use spiritual power.

Under such circumstances, using mortals to operate the City Lord's Mansion and handle some miscellaneous affairs of Dongxuan City was still no problem.

Thinking of this, Ye Qingxuan's eyes flashed with brilliance, and he immediately sent a message to Liu Feifeng: "Liu Feifeng, select one thousand mortals to join the City Lord's Mansion and handle miscellaneous affairs for me."

At the same time, Ye Qingxuan sent the working hours and welfare benefits of mortals in the City Lord's Mansion to Liu Feifeng.

Ye Qingxuan decided that the various departments of the City Lord's Mansion would only operate for eight hours from now on.

Others who wanted to handle business could only come to the City Lord's Mansion to handle it within these eight hours.

But there was only one point, and that was efficiency first.

Dongxuan City didn't lack people the most; if work was dragged on, they would be directly eliminated and replaced. Before, the Dongxuan Academies in the major urban areas of Dongxuan City were responsible by Liu Feifeng.

Relatively speaking, Liu Feifeng was the person who knew the residents of the mortal urban area of Dongxuan City best at present.

So this time, Ye Qingxuan also arranged the selection of personnel for the City Lord's Mansion to Liu Feifeng.

In a certain courtyard house in the mortal urban area of Dongxuan City.

Jiang Yinyin looked at the look of surprise on Liu Feifeng's face and asked curiously: "Master, what's wrong?"

Ever since Ye Qingxuan sent a message to Liu Feifeng last time, asking her to take Jiang Yinyin as a disciple.

Liu Feifeng quickly rushed to Jiang Yinyin's residence and, under the witness of Jiang Yinyin's grandfather, took Jiang Yinyin as a disciple under her sect.

Jiang Yinyin had five-element spiritual roots, and in Star Fall Continent, this talent was already considered an upper-class level.

Even Liu Feifeng herself was only at the four-element spiritual root talent level.

So for taking Jiang Yinyin as a disciple, Liu Feifeng herself was also very willing.

Ever since she took Jiang Yinyin as a disciple, Liu Feifeng often came here to Jiang Yinyin's place to teach her cultivation.

For this disciple Jiang Yinyin, she was still very fond of her.

Hearing her disciple's inquiry, Liu Feifeng explained:

"It's a message from the City Lord, ordering me to select one thousand mortals to join the City Lord's Mansion and handle the miscellaneous affairs of the city."

"Really? Master, look at me, am I okay?"

Hearing her master's words, Jiang Yinyin was full of excitement, pulling Liu Feifeng's hand and shaking it constantly.

Liu Feifeng pointed at Jiang Yinyin's forehead with her finger, not in a good mood:

"You just honestly cultivate for me, this time the City Lord is recruiting mortal residents, it has nothing to do with you."

Handling miscellaneous affairs for the City Lord's Mansion would delay quite a bit of cultivation time.

"Oh, alright!"

Hearing Liu Feifeng's words, Jiang Yinyin's smiling face instantly drooped.

At this time, Jiang Yinyin's grandfather walked out from the house and said with a smile:

"Captain Liu, then I wonder, do I meet the City Lord's goal?"

Jiang Yinyin's grandfather was named Jiang Xu, and he was already eighty years old this year.

But with the lifespan of mortals, he could still live for another forty or fifty years.

Jiang Xu wanted to use the last few decades of his life to accumulate some contribution points for his granddaughter to support her cultivation.

"This?"

Looking at Jiang Xu in front of her, Liu Feifeng hesitated: "Meeting it is meeting it, but..."

After this period of contact, Liu Feifeng also knew that Jiang Xu possessed not-so-bad knowledge.

And Jiang Xu was steady, which was suitable for the work of the City Lord's Mansion.

However, this recruitment, Liu Feifeng originally planned to recruit mortals under the age of thirty.

Although this time recruiting mortals, Ye Qingxuan didn't give an age limit.

But for cultivators, the short time of a few decades was really too short.

If possible, the mortals recruited would naturally be better the longer they lived.

At this time, Jiang Yinyin ran over and hugged Jiang Xu's arm, acting like a spoiled child: "Grandpa, don't go to the City Lord's Mansion, just stay at home and accompany Yinyin, okay?"

Jiang Xu smiled and touched Jiang Yinyin's head like when she was a child: "Yinyin be good, Grandpa is too bored staying at home, and going to the City Lord's Mansion to help the City Lord handle miscellaneous affairs isn't tiring."

"And there is a teleportation array in Dongxuan City, it's convenient to go back and forth, and Grandpa doesn't have to stay in the City Lord's Mansion all day."

After speaking, Jiang Xu looked at the hesitant Liu Feifeng and pleaded:

"Captain Liu, just agree to the old man!"

"I won't make it difficult for you, when I feel powerless, I will resign myself."

Seeing Jiang Xu insist, looking at Jiang Yinyin's face, Liu Feifeng reluctantly nodded:

"Alright then!"
