C61 Yuan He Pavilion
Chu Yun thought to himself. There was a huge difference between Tianxia Money Shop and the government.
Perhaps the founding emperor had a good relationship with Queen Zhou during the early days of the Celestial Secret Dynasty. Therefore, it didn't really matter who the Tianxia Money Shop belonged to.
But as time passed, the Tianxia Money Shop had always been controlled by the Zhou family. At this time, the Zhou family was no longer Queen Zhou's appendage, but an independent and powerful individual.
The Tianxia Money Shop was so powerful that even the royal family could not forcefully annex it. They could only maintain the close cooperation between the two parties through marriage. However, this kind of cooperation was only between benefits.
Imagine, which emperor would want to hand over the financial power of the bank to an existence other than the royal family?
"I think Queen Zhou must have been very powerful back then. That's why she was able to take over the financial power of the entire dynasty. "
Chu Yun thought to himself.
In the fantasy world, everyone could become an expert who could change the natural environment. If a queen was extremely strong, she definitely wouldn't be like the ancient China where she could only be a subordinate of the emperor. Perhaps when the Celestial Secret Dynasty was founded, Queen Zhou's strength was comparable to the Emperor's, which was why she was able to fight for the financial power of the Zhou family.
However, Chu Yun did not know the truth of these matters. These were just his guesses.
Chu Yun shook his head and stopped thinking about these things. The most important thing right now was to think about how he should continue to manage the Elemental River Pavilion.
The system's mission required the Elemental River Pavilion to operate normally for sixty days. This sounded simple, but it was not easy to make such an empty shell operate normally.
"We're here. "
Shopkeeper Yang brought Chu Yun to a bustling area in the western city area. He pointed at the buildings in the middle of the area.
Chu Yun looked in the direction and saw a massive eight-story building in front of them. Each floor was as wide as a square, and behind the building, there were layers of courtyards. It looked very grand. And at the top of this tall building, there was a golden plaque.
On the plaque was written in flamboyant font, "Elemental River Pavilion. "
"Magnificent style. "
Chu Yun nodded his head. Looking at the buildings, he nodded his head in satisfaction.
Shopkeeper Yang smiled bitterly and said, "Great Shopkeeper, luckily Lee Feng and the others were in a hurry to escape when they left. They were afraid to alert others, so they did not do anything to destroy the Elemental River Pavilion. Otherwise, if they had enough time, what you would see now would be a pile of ruins. "
When Chu Yun heard this, he couldn't help but laugh, because he found that Shopkeeper Yang still had a sense of humor in finding joy through hardships. This was very good, and he was very satisfied with this.
"Let's go in and take a look. "
Chu Yun said and walked into the first floor of the eight-story building.
Because of the existence of the Celestial Secret Dynasty, there were some restrictions on clothing and buildings among the people. For example, people were not allowed to wear clothes with dragons embroidered on them, and people were not allowed to wear government clothing without permission.
There were also clear requirements for buildings, and that was that all buildings could not exceed the ninth floor.
No matter how tall this building was, it could not exceed nine floors.
Because nine was the limit, and the Emperor was also known as the most precious person. Only the royal family's buildings could be built to the ninth floor. Not to mention the ordinary people, even the officials were not allowed to privately build nine floors. If they dared to violate this rule, they would be charged with a crime of not respecting the royal family.
Therefore, the tall buildings of Elemental River Pavilion were indeed magnificent. However, there were only eight floors. If the previous master had built the ninth floor, he would have died.
Chu Yun walked into the first floor of Elemental River Pavilion, and Shopkeeper Yang followed beside him. In the past, there were many people coming and going in the Elemental River Pavilion, but now, this place was very deserted.
After all, those who had some information channels knew what had happened to the Elemental River Pavilion recently. The Elemental River Pavilion didn't even have any goods left, so who would come here to do business?
There were no customers in the Elemental River Pavilion, so the employees were naturally very lazy. Even those who stood at the door to welcome the guests went to rest, which made Shopkeeper Yang frown.
"Where did the employees go?"
Shopkeeper Yang shouted loudly.
In the guest area on the first floor, a few people stood up immediately. They had angry expressions on their faces, thinking that someone was looking for trouble. However, when they saw that the person who spoke was Shopkeeper Yang, their expressions changed and they quickly came over with a smile.
"Shopkeeper Yang, you came back so quickly. "
The employees said with a smile.
"I don't have time today. I'll settle the score with you guys another day!"
Shopkeeper Yang said fiercely, then gave the guys a look and said, "You guys go and call everyone over immediately. The new Great Shopkeeper is here!"
As soon as he said that, everyone saw Chu Yun looking around. They quickly bowed to Chu Yun and then left.
The Elemental River Pavilion was huge. There were hundreds of employees here, and most of them lived in the buildings behind them. This eight-story building was only used for office work, and it was also used to receive guests. Usually, when they had nothing to do, most of the people here would rest at the back.
Chu Yun walked around a few times in the attic on the first floor. The decoration here was very stylish, which made him very satisfied. It could be seen that Lee Family was very willing to spend money to build their territory. Now that Chu Yun had taken over, he was naturally delighted.
Not long after that, all the men from the Elemental River Pavilion had gathered here.
"Hello, Great Shopkeeper!"
Hundreds of people were standing in the hall on the first floor, neatly arranged. They bowed to Chu Yun and greeted him.
Chu Yun nodded. He looked calm, but he had a strange feeling in his heart. Because this scene looked too serious. It was like a gang leader was counting the number of people in his own gang before he was ready to kill.
"This is Eldest Brother of Elemental River Sect, Chu Yun. He is also the new Great Shopkeeper of Elemental River Pavilion appointed by Immortal Shangyuan!"
Shopkeeper Yang said in a deep voice. After that, he came to Chu Yun and said, "Great Shopkeeper, let me introduce you. This is Song Lin, Shopkeeper Song. He is in charge of the accounts. "
Shopkeeper Yang said and pointed at the old man standing at the front of the crowd. He had a head full of white hair, but his eyes were bright. He looked very smart.
After that, Shopkeeper Yang pointed at the group of middle-aged men behind Shopkeeper Song and said, "These people are deacons of Elemental River Pavilion. For example, this is Deacon Zhang Changlin. He is in charge of the sales of spiritual herbs. This is Deacon Xu Gui. He is in charge of the hunting of demon beasts. "
Chu Yun listened patiently and remembered the faces of every deacon and the things they were in charge of. Every deacon who was called would take a step forward and calmly nod at Chu Yun.
During the process, Chu Yun only nodded and did not speak much. After Shopkeeper Yang introduced all the deacons, Chu Yun took a step forward.
Chu Yun clenched his fist and cleared his throat. He looked at the crowd and said, "Everyone, Shopkeeper Yang has introduced me just now. My name is Chu Yun and I am Eldest Brother of Elemental River Sect. Some of you are from the Sect, and some of you are from the Linghai Giant City. However, these are not important. I only care about your abilities.
You should have stayed in the Elemental River Pavilion for a long time. You should know what kind of environment this is. In my opinion, this place seems to be a place that abides by 'rules'.
The 'rules' I'm talking about isn't a good word. Although I haven't asked Shopkeeper Yang about this, I guess that when the Lee Family was in control of the Elemental River Pavilion, they should have liked to set up rules for everyone, right?"
Chu Yun paused for a moment and didn't continue. Instead, he observed the reaction of the crowd.
When he finished speaking, he could clearly see that all the members of Elemental River Pavilion had the same expression on their faces. It was a look of reminiscence and boredom.
"It seems like what I said is right. "
Chu Yun nodded and continued, "The Lee Family is in the Elemental River Sect. With Grand Elder Li Daoran as the leader, they have colluded with the Devil Heart Sect. They have harmed their own fellow disciples. What kind of bad behavior do they have? I don't need to repeat myself. In the Elemental River Pavilion, the Lee Family was also flattering people everywhere. There were a total of nine managers, and seven of them were bought over by the Lee Family. The behavior of the Lee Family was simply outrageous. I believe that many wise men in the pavilion have been dissatisfied with this for a long time, haven't they? "
“. . . ”
As soon as these words left his mouth, whispers and discussions broke out amongst the crowd. Chu Yun's words resonated with them, because this was indeed how the Elemental River Pavilion used to be.
When Lee Feng was in power, he only promoted his trusted aides. He would even suppress those who were unwilling to submit to him. Just because those people were unwilling to submit, they were bullied by Lee Feng. Moreover, there were quite a number of such people.
Because of this, the overall strength of the Elemental River Pavilion was very different from the Lingyuan Pavilion and Yuheng Pavilion in the three great pavilions of the Linghai Giant City.
"Today, everything will be different. "1
Chu Yun waited for the discussions to fade away before he spoke in a deep voice. He said, "Right now, Elemental River Pavilion is in a dangerous period. I don't need to say this, you all understand it. As I said before, I only want to appoint them based on other people's abilities. I never take people for my own, and I don't have any family or friends here. In the Elemental River Sect. I came from the most remote Xiaoqing Peak, and none of you are a disciple of the Xiaoqing Peak. In fact, most of you have never seen me before, so you don't have to worry about me. I won't be biased towards anyone with my personal feelings. I only care about your strength.
Now, I hope that everyone can take the initiative and recommend themselves. If anyone feels that their abilities are suitable for a better position, stand out.
I will ask the two shopkeepers to arrange some tasks for you. If you are able to complete them, you will be able to obtain this position. I will put my words here today, and I will keep my word! "
As soon as he finished speaking, an uproar arose in the crowd.
Shopkeeper Yang and Shopkeeper Song looked at each other, and their eyes were filled with astonishment. They couldn't believe what Chu Yun had just done.
But. . .
His words aroused a heated discussion among the people.
Lee Feng's betrayal had taken away all the people who were close to the Lee Family. The people who were left behind were either ordinary people or geniuses who had been suppressed by the Lee Family.
Now, Chu Yun had asked these people to recommend themselves. He hoped that they could quickly select some useful talents to be his subordinates in charge of the Elemental River Pavilion.
As long as they had the ability, he could appoint them. This was appropriate.
And this kind of thing, other people couldn't do, only he, the newly appointed person, could do it, otherwise it would be too late.
Amidst the discussions, the hundreds of people present: Look at me, look at me. The words they said to Chu Yun seemed to be hesitating, as if they were hesitating.
It was at this moment that. . .
A man took the initiative to walk out of the crowd. He took a step forward and took a deep breath. He said, "Great Shopkeeper, my name is Liu Chuang. I think I can be the deacon responsible for the domestication of demon beasts. "
Chu Yun's eyes lit up when he heard this. He looked at Shopkeeper Yang and Shopkeeper Song and asked, "Shopkeepers, do you have any impression of Liu Chuang?"
Shopkeeper Song thought for a while and shook his head.
Shopkeeper Yang thought for a while and said, "Liu Chuang has been working in the branch of demon beast taming for five or six years. I often see him when I go to get demon beasts. He worked very seriously. Logically speaking, after so many years, he should be promoted. It's just that I don't know why he has always been an ordinary worker. "
Liu Chuang's face turned red as he loudly replied, "I should have been promoted, but once when I was drinking, I fought with Deacon Li's brother-in-law, and then I lost the opportunity to be promoted forever. "
"I agree!"
Chu Yun waved his hand and said, "Later, let us see how you domesticate demon beasts. If you can pass Shopkeeper Yang's test, the position of deacon will be yours!"
