Chapter 398 Industrial Planning, Yuying asks about ambition!
Zheng Fa was unaware of Gu Chang's misinterpretation of his words...
In fact, he also felt a headache about spiritual roots - if he wanted to cultivate more and stronger monks, spiritual roots were a problem that must be faced.
What's more, the social structure of the Xuanwei Realm that makes Zheng Fa uncomfortable is itself built on the reality of spiritual roots.
If he really wants to realize his wish and make the Jiushan Sect fundamentally different from other sects in the Xuanwei Realm, it is actually very important to study the spiritual roots thoroughly.
But Zheng Fa can't care about so much now.
The main contradiction in Jiushan Sect today is not that there are too few talents, but that there are too few resources.
He sorted out the new issue of "Xian Dao", picked up a document from the table, and headed towards Wanxian Island.
Zheng Fa did not return to his home, but flew towards the west side of Wanxian Island.
In the northwest corner of Wanxian Island, there is a small hill hundreds of feet high, and on the hillside there are two small courtyards next to each other.
Madam Xuanhua lives on the left, and Xiao Yuying lives on the right.
Zheng Fa walked towards the yard on the left. He did not hide his aura. As soon as he reached the door, it opened.
Madam Xuanhua stood at the door.
What surprised Zheng Fa was that Xiao Yuying was also at Madam Xuanhua's house, and was standing behind Madam Xuanhua at this moment.
As if she had noticed Zheng Fa's puzzled expression, Xiao Yuying looked at Zheng Fa, then at Madam Xuanhua, and said tactfully, "I just have something to do, so I'll take my leave first..."
Zheng Fa was stunned for a moment, then said, "Fairy Xiao, after I find Madam Xuanhua, I will go find you."
Xiao Yuying was walking out, but when she heard this, she stopped. Seeing Zheng Fa nod at her, she slowly walked back.
The three of them walked into Madam Xuanhua's living room and sat down. Zheng Fa handed the document in his hand to Madam Xuanhua who was standing beside him.
"Tiangong Pavilion?" Madam Xuanhua took a look and asked in surprise, "A new department under the General Affairs Palace?"
Zheng Fa nodded and said, "It's almost on par with the Agricultural Affairs Office led by Master Qian."
"The Agricultural Affairs Department is in charge of agriculture in the Nine Mountains Realm."
"Tiangong Pavilion is the department that will be in charge of the industry of the Nine Mountains Realm in the future."
With the development of Jiushanjie, agriculture has already had a certain foundation. In Zheng Fa's vision, the industrialization of Jiushanjie is the next development direction.
On the one hand, this would allow him to better utilize his unique advantage, namely modern knowledge.
On the other hand, in Zheng Fa's cognition, industrialization is the only way to solve the shallow foundation of Jiushan Sect.
If we follow the traditional Xuanwei Sect's path, it will be impossible to produce the required resources in a short period of time.
Madam Xuanhua frowned and whispered, "Industry?"
She lowered her head and flipped through the thin document. After a moment, she raised her head and asked, "According to this document, alchemy, talisman making, and weapon refining all belong to the industrial field?"
Zheng Fa smiled and said:
"That's why I divide production into two parts, one is agricultural production and the other is industrial production."
"In the future, industrial production will be the dominant part of the economy of the Nine Mountains Realm."
Madam Xuanhua was stunned for a long time, as if she didn't know what to say. After a while, she murmured, "Why not leave this to the three supreme elders?"
Now, Zheng Fa understood Madam Xuanhua's hesitation.
Tiangong Pavilion is so important, so the Pavilion Master of Tiangong Pavilion must be in a high position and have great power.
She might feel that she is an outsider after all, and feel a little uneasy, and even suspect that this is a trap...
Looking into Madam Xuanhua's eyes, Zheng Fa said bluntly: "Madam, you are the most suitable."
Madam Xuanhua didn't say anything, but her eyes were a little bright.
"In terms of ability, you are the strongest weapon refiner in my Nine Mountains Realm."
In Zheng Fa's opinion, making talismans and refining elixirs can also be related to industry.
But refining equipment is closest to the idea of industry.
"In terms of achievements, you participated in the research of the Golden Elixir Project and the Nine Mountains Golden Elixir Method, and made great contributions to our Nine Mountains Sect."
This is undeniable.
Although these two projects cannot be attributed entirely to Mrs. Xuanhua, she is also the most important participant.
Let’s not talk about others... let’s just talk about Old Man Yuan. His contribution to Jiushan Sect is probably no more than that of Madam Xuanhua.
Madam Xuanhua's eyes became brighter.
"To be honest, my Jiushan Sect doesn't have enough manpower right now."
Zheng Fa stretched out his palm and said:
"I am now in charge of the university island, and my focus is on education and research. I also need to find time to practice."
"Senior Sister Zhang is in charge of the General Affairs Office and is already overwhelmed."
Zheng Fa rolled up two fingers and continued to take inventory: "Three Supreme Elders, Uncle Pang is now in charge of the Hundred Immortals Investigation. In the future, I intend to hand over the communication with the various sects to him."
Uncle Pang is Zheng Fa's preferred diplomacy leader.
This uncle-master is flexible and very sociable.
On the other hand, he is loyal to the sect and is so devoted to it that he is almost selfless. It is very unlikely that he would betray the interests of the sect.
It's really suitable.
"Uncle Huang is in charge of the Law Enforcement Pavilion, so it is not appropriate for him to make any other appointments."
Madam Xuanhua seemed a little confused when she heard this, and then she listened to Zheng Fa saying: "The Law Enforcement Pavilion has a special status and must be aloof from the rest of the world."
"On the other hand, Uncle Huang's personality is not suitable."
Uncle Huang can be said to be a ruthless but not selfless person, but she only cares about Sister Zhang, which is basically equivalent to being selfless.
The Law Enforcement Bureau has been operating very well during this period.
"As for my master, he is currently busy transforming into a spirit. His personality may make him more suitable for managing Jiushan News and drama."
Old man, what can I say...
His only contribution as the head of the sect over the years was to accept Zheng Fa as his disciple.
Handing over such an important department to the other party would, on the one hand, torture the old man, and on the other hand, torture himself - he did not want to see the head of Tiangong Pavilion being a hands-off boss, who might betray his master and ancestors in the future.
It is better to let him take charge of the cultural field. This old man is a natural journalist! Zheng Fa clenched his five fingers into a fist. After counting like this, Madam Xuanhua really felt that she was the most suitable leader of Tiangong Pavilion.
But she still had some hesitation.
"Madam, I think Master Qian has proven that my Jiushan Sect does not place much emphasis on origin."
Zheng Fa seemed to really know what she was thinking and said another sentence.
Qian Zhenren...
Madam Xuanhua heard that because of Mr. Qian's great contribution, Zheng Fa waved his hand and mobilized a lot of resources for him.
On the one hand, there are rewards from various spiritual objects that can form elixirs.
On the other hand, the "Golden Elixir Project" project team conducted experiments specifically on Master Qian, trying to make him condense a top-grade golden elixir.
Now, Master Qian only needs to accumulate spiritual power slowly, and he will be able to form a pill in one go. It is almost certain. Perhaps it is not as easy as Master Qian for the true disciples of the five Xuanwei sects to form a pill.
She thought of the Temple of Sages again, where the statues of herself and Qian Zhenren had been erected long ago.
At that time, Master Qian had not yet cultivated the Pure Bamboo.
I have also joined the Jiushan Sect not long ago.
She was silent for a while, then stood up and bowed to Zheng Fa, saying, "Xuanhua, respect the Sect Master's order."
Xiao Yuying was listening at the side, and her eyes were moved.
She knew this friend quite well. As a free cultivator, Mrs. Xuanhua was very wary - free cultivators would inevitably be bullied by the big sects.
What's more, Madam Xuanhua was not born as a Nascent Soul cultivator. In fact, she had encountered many disputes and hardships along the way.
Previous experiences have engraved these words: disbelief in sects, cautious and suspicious, and only loving spirit stones into Madam Xuanhua's bones.
This is also why, when Madam Xuanhua saw the appointment, she chose to retreat and refuse the first time.
But according to her observation, after such a long time of getting along, Madam Xuanhua now calls Master Zheng Fa more sincere and natural day by day.
At this moment, she even heard the meaning of sacrificing one's life for the rest of her life from Madam Xuanhua's short words.
Zheng Fa nodded in satisfaction, pointed to a seat and said, "Sit down and talk."
Madam Xuanhua sat down, and Zheng Fa flipped through the documents on the table again and explained carefully:
"Tiangong Pavilion is the central department of the first fifty-year plan. There are some things I need to explain to you clearly."
Mrs. Xuanhua had already gotten into the role and was listening very attentively.
"lady……"
"Master, just call me Xuanhua."
Zheng Fa nodded: "Xuanhua, I let you take charge of Tiangong Pavilion because you have experience in the Golden Elixir Project."
“…”
Mrs. Xuanhua was still listening attentively.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"In the Golden Elixir Project, we have also tried to break down a cultivation technique into simpler parts..."
"Master, are you saying that we can use this kind of thinking to improve refining equipment, refining pills, or making talismans?"
"That's right!" Zheng Fa said with a smile, "But it's not just that."
He took out another object from his sleeve: "Have you seen this thing, Xuanhua?"
"A talisman?"
"Yes, what Tiangong Pavilion needs to do is to simplify and upgrade the manufacturing process, just like this talisman and the Golden Elixir Project, in order to increase the output of various items."
Madam Xuanhua nodded slowly, as if she understood.
But after a moment, he showed some bitterness on his face and shook his head, saying, "I'm afraid I'm not capable of improving the craftsmanship. If it delays the important matters of the sect..."
Zheng Fa laughed and said soothingly:
"Of course we won't let you, Xuanhua, fight alone. We shouldn't take too big a step at the beginning. Senior Sister Zhang and I plan to start with six industries."
"Six?"
Zheng Fa turned a page of the document, pointed at the words on it and said, "There are six types."
"The first one is, of course, the talisman production line that focuses on talismans. This is the advantageous industry of our Jiushan Sect, especially talismans, which can be said to be unique to our Jiushan Sect. The future direction is to produce more types of talismans."
Mrs. Xuanhua had a strange expression on her face.
Zheng Fa also knew that this was a bold statement:
Research more types of sigils (×)
Draw the blood of other demon sect disciples (√)
Now that the Great Freedom Demon Ancestor is finished, the talisman made with the blood of the Great Freedom Demon Sect’s disciples is naturally not a hidden danger.
Even Zheng Fa is not so afraid of other demon ancestors now.
In other words, it is useless to be wary. As one of the six sects, the Jiushan Sect must be a thorn in the eyes of those demon ancestors...
It is better to study boldly.
Of course, there is room for improvement in the craftsmanship of talisman making itself.
Seeing that Madam Xuanhua understood, Zheng Fa said, "The second one is the manufacture of external elixirs. This is not difficult for Madam."
Madam Xuanhua nodded slowly.
The external elixirs of Jiushan Sect have gained some fame and made a lot of money now.
It is only natural that it becomes one of the six industries planned by Zheng Fa.
"Another way is to produce spiritual tools, such as the Divine Sky Flying Boat. The demand for this tool should be huge in the future, and there is room for improvement."
He has not forgotten his delusion of developing maritime trade routes.
"These two industries now require a large number of monks and will be built on the Nine Islands of the Heavenly Palace in the future." Zheng Fa continued, "The other three industries will mainly be built in the mortal world."
"The mortal world?"
"Yes, in the mortal world. The three industries are food processing, textiles, and spiritual mineral mining."
Seeing that she didn't understand, Zheng Fa patiently explained, "My Jiushan Sect's current agriculture is unique, and we also have new silkworm species developed by Xuehe Patriarch and others. Food processing and textiles are related to the lives of all Jiushan people. These two industries are the most basic."
"The same goes for spiritual ore collection. There are also many spiritual ores in the mortal world of the Nine Mountains Realm. They will probably have some market in the Xuanwei Realm."
"These days, Senior Sister Zhang is patrolling the realm, verifying the correctness of the sect's data on mortal resources. When she comes back, the factory will start construction."
"factory?"
"My idea is to use machines to replace manual labor for production, just like the Shenxiao Flying Boat."
In Zheng Fa's opinion, the usefulness of the simple golden elixir is really great.
It would be a waste to only supply the Shenxiao Flying Boat.
In industries like food processing, textiles and mining, there is not even a need for monks. With the help of simple golden elixirs, production efficiency can be increased thousands of times.
Madam Xuanhua frowned and said after a long while, "These factories need machines... I'm afraid we still need to do some research."
You can see that she is a little unconfident.
Zheng Fa was too confident——
Does this thing still need to be studied? I'll go to the modern world to move it for you! "Leave it to me."
Zheng Fa's words immediately made Madam Xuanhua's embarrassment disappear. She nodded and said, "So the most important thing is the three industries on the Nine Islands of Tiangong?"
"Yes, the industry in the mortal world cannot be separated from the simple golden elixir and the production of spiritual tools."
"At the beginning, starting with this simplest spiritual tool can also help us train a group of qualified workers."
After listening to this, Madam Xuanhua put away the documents on the table and said to Zheng Fa, "I need to go back and look at this matter first. I'm afraid there are some things I don't understand..."
"There's no rush for this." Zheng Fa consoled her. "We have to wait for Senior Sister Zhang to come back first. We still have some machine designs that will take time. If you have any questions in the future, feel free to ask me."
Madam Xuanhua nodded and turned to look at Xiao Yuying. Unexpectedly, Xiao Yuying, who had been listening quietly, stood up and said to Zheng Fa, "Come to my place."
"!"
Madam Xuanhua opened her eyes wide and said, "I didn't avoid you just now, why are you dumping me now?"
But Xiao Yuying really seemed to have turned her back on him at this moment. She stared at Zheng Fa with a determined look.
Zheng Fa looked at her, wondering why she was like that. He nodded to Madam Xuanhua beside him and followed Xiao Yuying to her home.
Xiao Yuying walked in front and led Zheng Fa to the lobby.
As soon as she entered the door, a light flashed in her hand, and a magic painting screen stood at the door, blocking the view of people outside.
"With this thing, others can't hear or see us." Xiao Yuying said softly.
"Fairy Xiao?"
"I have something to ask you."
“…Do I have to answer?”
"If you don't agree, I only want to leave the Jiushan Sect. You can ask me to swear a great oath or erase my memory. It's all fine."
Unexpectedly, Xiao Yuying's expression was extremely serious, and her words were even more resolute.
What Zheng Fa didn't expect was that when Madam Xuanhua was getting closer and closer to Jiushan Sect, Xiao Yuying seemed to be getting farther and farther away from them.
"...Fairy Xiao, please ask."
"What kind of Jiushan Sect do you want?" Xiao Yuying asked immediately, as if she had been thinking for a long time, "Or, what kind of Xuanwei Realm do you want?"
Before Zheng Fa could answer, Xiao Yuying continued:
"Do you know that by doing this... you are making an enemy of all cultivators? Your path may be even more dangerous than that of Venerable Tianhe."
