"My wife is indeed a demon fairy."

Hong Qi sighed: "But she is the only one, and there are not many experts in my city lord's palace. If the next auction attracts some strong people and that group of people, I'm afraid there will be a big chaos.

.”

"You don't have to worry about this. How do you recruit people? You continue to recruit people. If three million people are not enough, you can recruit 10 million people..."

The old city lord didn't even open his eyes and said calmly: "You have millions of people under your control. You can always scare some people..."

"this……"

Hong Qi was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to answer. There were millions of people in the City Lord's Mansion now, and he already felt it was quite a lot.

If we recruit 10 million people, how can we manage it? Managing it is a very laborious task, and the more people there are, the better it is not necessarily better.

"The Nanshang Auction is a major event in your Nanfeng Holy City, but it is not an absolute major event. You don't have to take it too seriously. Just do whatever you want. All of this is due to fate..." the old city lord said.

Such a sentence.

"You just need to be the lord of your Holy City with peace of mind, don't let Nanfeng Holy City be destroyed, and just keep the Holy City..."

After saying this, he cut off the conversation. Hong Qi could no longer see the old city lord's condition. Hong Qi's face became a little solemn as he listened to the old city lord's words.

The magic stone appeared beside him, and Hong Qi murmured to himself: "It doesn't matter whether the Nanshang Auction is held or not, but the most important thing is to protect the Holy City of Nanfeng..."

"Maybe the Holy City has an origin we don't know about. For this Holy City, the Nanshang Auction is not worth mentioning, so that's why the old city lord said this." Magic Stone said.

Hong Qi nodded and sighed: "Maybe that's true. Otherwise, why wouldn't the old city lord be anxious? Those guys are causing mischief here and regard my city lord's mansion as a spiritual energy. It seems that we really need to recruit more people."

"Are we still hiring?"

Magic Stone said with some worry: "People can be recruited, but the financial resources of our city lord's mansion may not be enough..."

"No more spirit stones?" Hong Qi frowned.

Demonic Stone said in a deep voice: "Lingshi is one thing. If we recruit several million more people, I'm afraid we won't even be able to afford the recruitment of these people..."

Hong Qi thought for a while and then said: "Why do we need to give them a promotion? Let them earn their own money. It's enough for them to show off by coming to our city lord's mansion. What more money do these people need?"

"Well, can the people recruited like this be useful?" Magic Stone expressed doubt.

Hong Qi said: "It doesn't matter whether they are useful or not. It doesn't matter if their cultivation level is a little lower. As long as they are willing to work for our City Lord's Mansion, their benefits will be indispensable."

"In the near future, Nanfeng Holy City will become the most watched city in the entire Immortal Road. Many people want to find an official position in such a place..."

Magic Stone said: "What about immortal masters? Do you want to recruit a few more?"

"It's definitely necessary. Only six people are far from enough."

On the way back, Hong Qi and his wife also stayed in other holy cities, and naturally they also saw the strength of the current city lord's mansion in other holy cities.

Not to mention the Holy City of Luosha, there are eight great demons guarding the auction alone, and there are countless other powerful men.

The other holy cities along the way, which I haven't visited for some years, have now greatly increased in strength, because countless strong men from all over the world have flocked to the Immortal Road, and strong men are not so hard to find now.

If it is not expanded now, the strength of the City Lord's Mansion will be looked down upon by others in the city, and things in the Holy City will not be able to sustain themselves.

…

That night, Hong Qi invited Ye Chu out and drank and chatted in the pavilion of the back hall. Hong Qi also talked about the current situation of his city lord's mansion.

"Actually, there's nothing to worry about..."

Ye Chu smiled and said: "Brother, you just need to control this small group of people under your command. The rest will naturally let them arrange the people below. You don't have to do it yourself. Release the power in your hands to others."

That’s it for them.”

"Well, it's just that it's hard to recruit this immortal master. We only recruited three of them before. There aren't many strong men above the Great Demon God who are willing to work in the city lord's mansion." Hong Qi sighed helplessly.

Ye Chu smiled and said: "What's wrong with this? Brother, you haven't grasped the key point of these people. You have to put out bait that makes them want to eat."

"Bait? Brother, you might as well make it clearer and give me some advice." Hong Qi didn't quite understand what Ye Chu meant. Did he have any heavy bait in his hand?

"Haha, just think about the Holy City of Luosha." Ye Chuyi smiled pointedly.

Hong Qijing seemed to be enlightened by this suggestion, and said in surprise: "Brother, what do you mean?"

"It's just that I don't do that kind of thing here..." Hong Qi felt helpless.

He roughly understood what Ye Chu meant. He just wanted to convey a message to the world, that he could follow the city lord's mansion and maybe rob the treasure together.

It's just that he just said before that he would not really rob the treasure. If he were really such a person, the old city lord would not support him as the city lord.

Ye Chu smiled and said: "I didn't ask you to do those shameful things, I just gave some people some such tips..."

"This is not necessarily the news. If you want to spread it, you can let some people who are not the city lord's palace spread some such news outside, such as the inside story of some auctions in other cities..."

Ye Chu smiled and said: "As long as you let this news out..."

"Haha, then if I am not black, I will become black..."

Hong Qi smiled bitterly and said: "There are some people who just want to come here. It's just that such people are difficult to discipline..."

"It doesn't matter whether you obey or not, as long as the name of your city lord's palace is on it, I don't really expect them to do anything..."

Ye Chu said: "Humans die for wealth, and birds die for food. If you don't scatter wealth and food, how can you attract people and birds..."

"Well, brother, what you said makes sense, let's do it this way. If this is the case, maybe we can recruit a few more immortal masters," Hong Qi said.

"Well, you can secretly divide these strong people who come here for profit, treat them differently, and give them some benefits when you have the opportunity..."

Ye Chu said to him: "Immortal masters can definitely recruit a few more people. As for the lower-level people below who are really doing things, these people have to spread some wealth and give out some benefits.

, they can be allowed to have some privileges or benefits in the city."

"Welfare? What?" Hong Qi didn't quite understand the meaning of this word.

Ye Chu smiled and said: "Actually, it's a benefit. For example, there are many Taoist platforms in the city. Normally, you need to queue up to enter the fight."

"You can set aside some Taoist platforms specifically for the use of these people. If there are not enough, you can also build some new Taoist platforms by the city lord's palace, as well as libraries and the like, and put in some Taoist teachings and ancient borrowings for them to use." These new recruits have a chance to get in there.”

Ye Chu smiled and said: "As long as you give them some small favors and the status of the City Lord's Mansion makes them feel proud, naturally many people will be willing to work for the City Lord's Mansion."

"Brother, you are really a genius..."

Hong Qi also clapped his hands and applauded: "It's a pity that you don't want to be the city lord. This way, you can spend a small amount of money to do big things, but you can also win over people's hearts and greatly expand the strength of the city lord's palace. This is really wonderful."

"This should have been done a long time ago."

Ye Chu smiled faintly. As a modern person who traveled through time and was influenced by the advanced modern management concepts of the Xuanyuan Empire, Ye Chu was well versed in this.

It is difficult to win over powerful people. Either you are kind to him or he wants something from you. In short, relationships are not easy to maintain, so you must be extremely careful.

It is much easier to win over ordinary people, ordinary guards, and some people in charge and patrols in the city. The key is to create a sense of belonging for these people and make them feel that they are in the city lord's mansion. He is very valued and usually has a lot of benefits.

Even building a few more luxurious bathhouses in the city and allowing only people like them to bathe in them will make these people feel proud and proudly call themselves the people of the city lord's palace outside.

It is best to recruit these people who are usually bullied by others, or who are not very high status practitioners, but have a certain level of strength.

It is easiest for such people to work for the City Lord's Mansion when they receive corresponding respect and find a sense of belonging under the welfare conditions of the City Lord's Mansion. Generally speaking, such people come from various domains. It is not easy to find people among people, because those people have no sense of belonging to the Immortal Road. Therefore, it is best to find people who are aborigines near the holy city and have deep feelings for this place.

After Hong Qi got an exciting plan, he immediately went to discuss the matter with the immortal masters he trusted at the beginning, while Ye Chu temporarily moved into the City Lord's Mansion.

He has not discovered Xie Tian's aura recently, and Xie Tian should not have locked onto his existence. Ye Chu has been relatively comfortable in the past few months.

Because the relationship with Meier has been confirmed, although nothing else happened, she is already considered his Taoist companion.

Ye Chu just read the Wordless Heavenly Book every day, and his cultivation suddenly became extremely intense, and the fairy spirit from before had been fused by him.

After these two months of stabilization, his strength is now much stronger, but it will still take some time to fully integrate the power of the fairy spirit.

On this day, just after Ye Chu finished reading the Wordless Heavenly Book, Elenaer woke up and said hello to him in Yuan Lingzhong.
Chapter completed!
