For the next month, Nottingham was completely engulfed in a hiring frenzy.
It's not that they want to work for the City Lord's Mansion; it's just that the City Lord's Mansion pays them too much.
Anyone with soul power and a suitable martial soul will receive a monthly salary of 5 silver soul coins, equivalent to half a copper soul coin.
For Soul Masters of level 10 and above, the monthly salary has increased to 1 Gold Soul Coin.
During the days when the Spirit Hall couldn't afford to pay subsidies, the City Lord's Mansion's recruitment drive drove the low-level spirit masters in the city completely crazy.
In fact, Notting City doesn't have many Soul Masters above level 20; it's mostly filled with Soul Masters between levels 10 and 20.
"They've already recruited 3,000 people?"
Looking at the long report in her hand, Qian Renxue felt a little unreal.
There are 3,000 people in total, 80% of whom are not even first-ring Soul Masters, and their monthly expenses are less than 2,000 gold soul coins.
Even the current Crown Prince's residence could easily afford it.
For the first time, she realized how worthless human resources were.
"3,000 people is just the beginning. We plan to expand recruitment later, but we need to build up the industry first," Xiao Chenyu said casually.
One advantage of living on your own turf is that you don't have to worry about everything.
Lord Xiao can manage tens of thousands of people in Notting City very well, so these 3,000 people can be easily managed by just a few managers.
He only needs to propose a plan, and his subordinates will help him realize his ideas.
To be honest, his broad vision and knowledge are only due to his time travel. In terms of management and control over human nature, he is not only inferior to Lord Xiao, but even to the managers under Lord Xiao.
Therefore, Xiao Chenyu took on the role of leader with a clear conscience. When things were busy below, he was responsible for issuing orders.
I'm here today to give a routine report, since Qian Renxue is now considered a major shareholder.
Qian Renxue flipped through the report in her hand and exclaimed in amazement:
"Five livestock areas, three plantations, and five slaughterhouses—that basically covers all the plains around Nottingham."
During her free time recently, she also went to many places with Xiao Chenyu, who was conducting on-site investigations.
It must be said that although Nottingham is a bit remote, it has naturally retained its original state.
For Qian Renxue, who was used to the hustle and bustle of the city, it was actually quite a unique experience.
During these trips, watching Xiao Chenyu stand confidently in front of others, Qian Renxue always felt a sense of regret.
If Xiao Chenyu had appeared earlier, if they had met earlier, perhaps it would have been a better choice to have Xiao Chenyu fuse with that soul bone that could change his appearance and impersonate Crown Prince Xue Qinghe.
Putting down the report in her hand, Qian Renxue's purple eyes were filled with laughter as she listened to Xiao Chenyu's grand vision for the future. Suddenly, an idea arose in her mind.
Rather than engaging in deceit and treachery in public, she preferred standing behind Xiao Chenyu, enjoying the feeling of being protected by him.
Of course, she never intended to be just a pretty face.
Since Xiao Chenyu shielded her from everything in public, she would use her strength to clear away all obstacles for him behind the scenes.
After Xiao Chenyu finished speaking and left to attend to other matters, Qian Renxue spoke softly:
"Uncle Pig!"
"Young Master!"
Hearing Qian Renxue's call, the Porcupine Douluo appeared in front of her.
He has been protecting Qian Renxue in secret, but he doesn't usually show his face.
“Send those food-type Soul Emperors to Notting City.”
In the Douluo Continent, the most difficult martial soul to upgrade is not the attack type or the support type, but the low-level and very common food type.
Food-type martial souls are generally very common, such as fruits and vegetables, which are very widespread.
Most of these martial souls share a common characteristic: their innate soul power level is not high, making it difficult to upgrade.
However, once you reach a higher level, the special effects of the food produced by the food-type martial soul are far more useful than those of other soul masters.
Even the Spirit Hall doesn't have many food-type spirit masters at the Soul Emperor level.
"Those Soul Masters are all under the Pope's command..." The Porcupine Douluo hesitated.
Although he didn't think much of Bibi Dong's current strength, as a Title Douluo in his early thirties with a Grand Elder backing him up, his status was still lower than hers.
"Uncle Pig, I'm sorry to trouble you to make the trip yourself. Tell that woman it was my idea. If that doesn't work, go to Grandpa and tell him I'm about to reach level 35." Qian Renxue's tone was light, but it carried an undeniable authority.
"Understood! I'll be right back!"
The Porcupine Douluo simply accepted the order and disappeared.
Notting City is actually closer to Wuhun City than Tiandou City. If he's quick, he can get back before nightfall.
Qian Renxue's tense expression relaxed. She raised her hand to pick up the teacup on the table, but out of the corner of her eye, she noticed the white jade bracelet on her wrist.
This was a gift Xiao Chenyu gave her three days ago when the two were strolling along the commercial street in Nottingham City.
Qian Renxue flicked her wrist, and the warm glow of the jade bracelet swayed accordingly.
This was just a bracelet made of ordinary white jade, not a soul tool or anything like that. At the time, it was just the bracelet's unique design that caught her eye. She glanced at it a few more times but didn't think about buying it.
However, Xiao Chenyu seemed to notice her expression, and without saying a word, he bought the white jade bracelet and put it on her wrist.
Qian Renxue touched the jade bracelet with her other hand. The white jade felt smooth and delicate, as if it could soothe the inexplicable anxiety in her heart, making her love it so much that she couldn't put it down.
Looking at the jade bracelet, she was reminded of him and his mischievous face, Xiao Chenyu, and all the times they had spent together. Qian Renxue's heart skipped a beat.
In her heart, her grandfather and that woman still ranked first, but Xiao Chenyu's status had also quietly risen considerably, second only to them.
