Chapter 246 Building A Temple
Why is Tang Xiaoyu so surprised?
Just because there was not a single cotton seed found in this mall.
Search cotton seed transaction records again,
It was discovered that it was not that no one had sold cotton seeds, but that all the cotton seeds had been bought by an anonymous lord.
Seeds are not food, nor are they minerals.
Why would anyone buy so many seeds? And scanning goods like this is obviously not something that happens in a day or two.
If there is nothing fishy here, even Tang Xiaoyu would not believe it.
Obviously, someone has been planning a big game since the first day they entered the battlefield.
"This is to strangle all the great princely states by the neck!"
Tang Xiaoyu couldn't help but shook his head and smiled bitterly.
It stands to reason that for this kind of basic crop, every territory has a chance to find its seeds.
But Tang Xiaoyu has never seen cotton as a crop in his own territory.
"Is it possible that there are cotton seeds in the warehouse?"
As soon as the idea came up, Tang Xiaoyu felt that this possibility was extremely high.
Because, so far, Tang Xiaoyu has destroyed not 10,000 territories, but at least 8,000 or 9,000.
It would be outrageous if there were not even a single cotton seed in such a large territory.
But when he opened the warehouse list, his head felt like a headache.
No way, there are too many categories!
There are millions of items of all kinds stacked in the warehouse!
Large quantities include first-grade grain, primary wood, and primary stone, each of which has hundreds of millions of units.
And those with small quantities include dozens or hundreds of units.
Tang Xiaoyu looked at the list for a long time, his eyes were dazzled, and he didn't even finish 1% of it.
In desperation, he rubbed his dizzy head and sent a message on the team channel:
"Have you ever seen cotton seeds? There are more than four million items in the warehouse. How do you find what you need?"
The first person to reply to the message was Old Demon Han.
"I think I found cotton seeds, and I deliberately put them in the warehouse. Indeed, there were too many things in there, and it was too difficult to find them."
Sure enough, as Tang Xiaoyu guessed, it was not that there were no cotton seeds, but that no one took it to heart.
Then came Chen Xiaoxiao's reply.
"Go to the side hall in the front yard of the Lord's Mansion and look for a bookkeeper named "Bo Shang". He clearly remembers which warehouse everything is placed in."
Tang Xiaoyu was stunned when he heard this, Po Shang? I do not know how?
"When did there become such a large number of people?"
"Hmph, there are a lot of things you don't know. On the day the territory was promoted to a vassal state, many more people came out of the lord's mansion. You only remembered to see the maids, but you haven't even seen the ministers under you."
Indeed, Tang Xiaoyu has not spent much time in the territory since it was upgraded to a vassal state.
As for the lord's mansion, he didn't have to sleep, and Xu Fu didn't come back either, so naturally he wouldn't go back every night.
It seems that I will really have to move around in the future.
Thinking of this, Tang Xiaoyu was not in the mood to go shopping anymore. He asked Zhu Jiuyin to go to Old Zhang to have a look, and he flew directly back to the lord's mansion.
In fact, it might be more appropriate to call the current Lord's Mansion the Royal Palace.
The entire palace is divided into three parts. The front part is where the six ministers, household registration compilers, treasury masters, and offices work.
Most of this part of the palace is currently vacant, and many positions are waiting for Tang Xiaoyu to recruit talents.
The middle part is where the Chaohui Hall is.
The part at the back is naturally the forbidden area of the palace and the harem.
Currently, there are hundreds of maids and maids in the entire palace.
They are responsible for the daily operations of the entire palace.
Tang Xiaoyu quickly found the side hall that Chen Xiaoxiao was talking about. Although it was already dark, he could still see the lights inside the side hall.
As soon as Tang Xiaoyu walked in, three figures were busy inside. The moment they saw Tang Xiaoyu, they hurriedly knelt down and saluted:
"My lord, Bo Bo Shang, the treasury master."
"My lord, the deputy secretary of the treasury will extend my life."
"My lord, deputy director of the treasury."
"Greetings, my lord!"
Tang Xiaoyu quickly asked them to stand up and talk.
Before Tang Xiaoyu could explain the purpose of his visit, the boss named Bo Shang began to complain:
"My lord! Please hurry up and recruit some people. There is such a huge treasury, just the three of us, we will be too busy even if we die!"
The two deputy bookkeepers on the side also echoed:
"Yes, our national strength is booming now. A huge amount of supplies are added to the treasury every day. If we don't recruit more people, I'm afraid a lot of supplies will be left out in the treasury. By then, even if we are killed Even three people can’t restore the country’s losses!”
Tang Xiaoyu touched his nose and smiled bitterly. He also wanted to recruit more people, but he really didn't know where to find people or what kind of people he was looking for.
Suddenly an idea flashed in his mind, and Tang Xiaoyu said to Bo Shang:
"I don't know much about the treasury. How about this, Bo Shang, how about you recruit some people for me to help you manage the treasury?"
When Bo Shang heard this, he was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt down on the ground. With a face full of fear, he said:
"My lord, you must not do this. Selecting and appointing talents is the top priority of the country. How dare I exceed my authority and take over this matter. The most urgent task is to find suitable talents to serve as officials in the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Then each department will fill the vacant positions. Report to the Ministry of Personnel, who will recruit talents and appoint officials."
"Moreover, a large number of newborns are born every day, and the Ministry of Household officials responsible for managing registration must be appointed as soon as possible."
"besides..."
Tang Xiaoyu's head exploded when he heard Bo Shang's endless suggestions.
He quickly opened his mouth to stop him and said:
"I think you are quite suitable for the post of Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. Otherwise, let's do this. Bo Shang, as for your position of chief secretary, let your deputy do it. You can go to the Ministry of Personnel and become a minister. I will How about I help you find a deputy then?"
Bo Shang was anxious at that time.
"No, our treasury is still short of people! If you transfer me away, won't the treasury be in chaos?"
Tang Xiaoyu was even more satisfied after hearing this.
"Now the country is in a period of employing people. Bo Shang, your vision cannot be limited to the small treasury. Although the treasury is important, how important is it compared to the entire country?"
Seeing that Bo Shang still refused to compromise, the two deputy clerks next to him wanted to curse.
Why don't you get promoted? If you don't leave, how will the labor and management be regularized?
The two deputy bookkeepers kept persuading Bo Shang, and repeatedly assured that even without him as the chief bookkeeper, the treasury's accounts would not be messed up.
Bo Shang hesitated for a long time and finally agreed.
But in the end, he made one last request to Tang Xiaoyu, which was to confirm the right and left ministers of the Ministry of Personnel as soon as possible.
As the deputy of the minister, the left and right ministers have the responsibility to assist him in handling government affairs, and they also have the obligation to supervise whether the minister is derelict in his duties and abuses his power.
After hearing this, Tang Xiaoyu readily agreed.
Immediately afterwards, Tang Xiaoyu came to the talent list and carefully checked the talents on it.
