The materials, magic weapons and skills in this world are divided into different levels, with the lowest being the ninth grade and the highest being the first grade.
This was something Kong Hanan had known before.
But it was not until he stood in front of the door of the newly built library in Luofeng Mountain that he had a real intuitive impression.
The library has nine floors.
One floor is ten meters long, decorated with bones and made of resentment mixed with the soil of the underworld.
Although the nine-story attic is not as exquisite as the buildings on earth, it has a unique flavor of the underworld and is tall and majestic.
Qin Guang clasped his hands and reported from the side.
"The first floor is for the ninth-grade technique, the second floor is for the eighth-grade technique, and so on. The ninth floor is for the top-level technique in the Three Realms."
Does our underworld even have the top skills in the three realms?
Kong Hanan sucked the tears from the corner of his mouth and waved his hand.
"Let's go straight to the ninth floor."
Qin Guang bowed and said, "I'm sorry, General. The top three techniques are only found in the immortal world or the underworld Hou Tu Altar. Our library currently only has a few fragments on the fifth floor. But I believe that with your ability, you will definitely be able to collect all the techniques to fill it."
Kong Hanan's mouth twitched involuntarily.
How can I...
But he couldn't say this out loud. As a leader, he couldn't show weakness in front of his subordinates.
"Then let my brother go to the fifth floor to pick out some techniques."
Qin Guang blinked, then bowed again and said, "General, I don't recommend you do this. The underworld has its rules. The acquisition of skills and magical instruments should be based on merit. Although Zeng Guicha has a relationship with you, he still has to act based on merit."
This made a lot of sense, and Kong Hanan was speechless for a moment.
"Ghost Messenger? Isn't that Ghost Catcher?"
Kong Hanan noticed the problem and asked.
"Yes, General. City God Gu and I both believe that the position of Ghost Catcher should be awarded based on merit, not the preferences of the captains and the City God. I'm not in a position to speak to the captains, so if it's convenient for you, please speak to them on my behalf. Furthermore, I believe that the right approach is for different races to work together..."
Although Qin Guang was respectful, once he started talking, he would talk non-stop.
It seems he has a package deal.
Kong Hanan felt a headache after hearing this.
Before, it was just a fight for the chief position between Ma Mian and Gu Qiang. Later, there were some signs of a fight between the underworld demons and human souls. Now, it seems that in this small underworld, there is even a fight between civil and military officials.
"You have a good idea."
After Qin Guang finished speaking, Kong Hanan spoke up and gave Qin Guang affirmation first.
If times were peaceful, Kong Hanan would indeed feel the need for such a complete system.
But now is not the time for the underworld to be entangled in these contradictions.
The nearby races are eyeing us covetously, and we need to completely take over Jiange County and build a city god, all of which require manpower.
"First, put together a plan and pilot it using the City God system. Once everything is settled, you will preside over our second summary meeting and take me to see the treasure house."
Kong Hanan had no choice but to use the tactic of procrastination and gave Zeng Wu a helpless look.
Zeng Wu returned a look of understanding.
There must be rules everywhere. Zeng Wu knew it well. He said that before just to help Kong Hanan resolve his emotional knot.
The treasure house is also on the main peak of Luofeng Mountain, but it is an underground cave.
When I walked to the door, I saw many ghosts carrying money out.
"Wait, what's going on?"
Kong Hanan was stunned.
Why is there only outflow from my treasure house but no inflow?
What happened?
Qin Guang began to introduce himself responsibly, "General, all the people under the underworld have salaries, as you promised before. However, Captain Yan and I don't want to bother you with these trivial matters, so we've taken matters into our own hands. Currently, they are directly under your command: six captains, two ghost catchers, one city god, one chief priest, and one civil servant. Each of them has their own..."
“And the temporary workers…”
"In addition, Captain Yeqi also works part-time as a forger, and Miss Meng Xiaowan sews robes for the underworld. These are also additional expenses..."
"Our current financial resources in the underworld mainly come from the elimination of ghosts and ghost nests in the human world, and from the Houtu Jade Seal.
The ghost nest near Helue Town has been almost wiped out. The two captains, Black and White Impermanence, are planning to continue the attack and are waiting for your permission.
You always carry the Hou Tu Jade Seal with you. Even if it can be used, I don’t have much incense for it, and Gu Qiang’s incense for it is also limited.
So we often trade with nearby races through human treasures, but the conversion rate is too high. I've recently been trying to get Gu Qiang to communicate with the Feng Shui monks in Helue Town who can make Heaven and Earth Money Banker's Ghost Money to see if we can increase the exchange channels..."
"You promised Gu Qiang before that you would compensate the people of Helue Town for the losses caused by the earthquake. I am also arranging personnel here to prepare to place them in their homes at night..."
"Also, you previously wrote an IOU to the Dongyue Temple to rebuild the golden statues of the Martial Saint and the God of Wealth..."
Speaking of this, Qin Guang couldn't help but complain.
"General, you have good intentions, but don't be so careless about things like this. Our underworld's finances are very tight."
This time, Kong Hanan was not only stunned by what he saw, but also stunned by what he heard.
He suddenly felt something was wrong.
"How much property do we have now?"
Qin Guang sighed: "It's less than 10 million taels, and the commission for the five thieves hasn't been paid yet."
Although this number sounds like a lot, how long has it been since two-thirds of it evaporated?
Kong Hanan couldn't help but cover his chest: "Qin Guang, when you were king, didn't you know how to increase revenue and reduce expenditure?"
Qin Guang asked curiously, "What is increasing revenue and what is reducing expenditure?"
"Issue this: anyone with special skills in the City of the Dead and Qinguang City may register with the government office and receive the title of 'Special Talent' in the underworld.
