C124 Primary Preparation Technician
After Ye Tian returned to the room, Yeh Rong went to the center of the Purple Hood Centre. There, on the square table, was a thick pile of secret letters sent from the Dark Holy Temple. As the hall master of the Dark Holy Temple, Holy Maiden needed her to come up with an idea on these secret letters sent from each hall in the empire and respond to them.
At this time, Ye Tian walked into the room and saw a letter from the Imperial Household Department on the table. When he opened it, it was signed by Denean.
Ye Tian frowned. For the past few days, Denean had been drilling into the Imperial Household Department like a wind-up machine, handling all kinds of affairs, making all kinds of decisions, and doing all sorts of stuff. Ye Tian hadn't seen her in the Jade Lake West Garden for three days.
Ye Tian felt a little guilty towards this. But he was born to be a technical material, and management was not his forte. Denean's natural talent for digital and fine-grained operation was the germ of a senior management talent.
But as the chief steward of the Imperial Household Department, he handed over all the trivial matters to the vice chief steward. He had nothing to do, and he was either doing it in the Aroma Workshop or the Gathering Excellence Palace.
Ye Tian nodded as he consoled himself, "Actually, the main reason is to train her."
Ye Tian frowned and read the contents of the letter carefully.
The first half of the letter wrote about the various earnings from Royal Bureau of Pharmaceutical, Royal Labor Union and the last month of Royal Cars and Horses Shop. Amongst them, Royal Bureau of Pharmaceutical was the largest, and after receiving and offsetting each other, their monthly profit reached twenty thousand silver, followed by Royal Labor Union. However, due to Royal Labor Union being the main source of income, the sales of Nuclear Crystal Furnace s were already at a relatively low level, so last month's profit was only five thousand silver. The worst was Royal Cars and Horses Shop, because it was only recently taken over by Ouyang Ruochen. Although Ouyang Ruochen had already started the reform and used the name of the royal family to merge and connect the business of the escort company with that of the carriage shop, due to the fact that business had just started, she only earned three thousand silver taels last month.
The three main sources of income for Imperial Household Department were in the first month of the year 215, which brought them a total profit of twenty-eight thousand silver. During the first month of the Lunar New Year, due to various celebrations, the expenditure on the palace was the greatest, costing about ten thousand taels of silver. At the same time, due to the formation of Divine Weapon Camp, training and related equipment, the expenditure reached thirty thousand silver.
In other words, even though he owned many profitable businesses, due to his huge expenditures, last month, his Imperial Household Department had already suffered from a situation where he was unable to make ends meet and could not bear the excess of income. Up till now, not only did he not deposit any money, he was also in debt by more than 10,000 taels of silver.
Between the lines of the letter, Denean's deep worries as the Imperial Household Department Vice Manager were revealed.
Ye Tian could tell that Denean's attitude was very clear. The palace's usage was decided by the heavens and earth, the Imperial Household Department was originally set up to settle the palace's daily expenses. It was only sufficient to meet the needs of the palace, so the financial situation of the Imperial Household Department was more than sufficient.
But the Divine Weapon Camp was different. Originally, there were only twenty or so Fu Yutang's men. However, Lin Qiyu had recruited more than 300 people in one go. Furthermore, they all needed the highest quality equipment. The usual training routine was also extremely taxing. The cost of the shellless bullets alone was at least three times that of the crossbows.
The moment Lin Qiyu arrived, the pressure on Denean's finances suddenly increased.
Looking at Denean's letter, Ye Tian had a headache.
Money, money, money, money.
The original Ye Clan's Compound Power Oral Liquid s, Ye Clan's Broken Marrow Cleansing Oral Liquid, and the hot sales of Nuclear Crystal Furnace s had merely freed Imperial Household Department s that were short of income and expenditure, and made them slightly profitable.
Moreover, that little bit of profit was probably not enough for Divine Weapon Camp. It was still far from being able to form a truly strong army.
Ye Tian was very clear, the true difference between his and Military Court s, was that Military Court s could use the empire's finances to build armies, while Ye Tian could only use the royal family's finances.
Compared to the astronomical amount of taxes collected by the Ministry of Tax Administration each year, the food and clothing of the several hundred people in the palace were nothing at all.
Money, money, money … Ye Tian started to worry about money again.
Ye Tian was now regretting his decision to not take back the two million gold that he got from auctioning the Silver Dragon away from Yeh Rong. However, since he had already bought a share in Shadow Labor Union, and now that Yeh Rong had merged Shadow Labor Union with his own, Ye Tian was naturally one of the shareholders in Dark Holy Temple. Therefore, Ye Tian didn't mind about this matter too much. According to Dark Holy Temple's fame and profitability, this matter wouldn't be at a disadvantage.
Inspiration from the Silver Dragon's auction and Mei Rou's suggestion of killing a level nine Devil Beast, Ye Tian now understood that if he could form a very successful team and continuously capture level nine Devil Beast, it would be a huge source of funding. Think about it, Silver Dragon are only level eight Devil Beast. Even if they don't have heads, they could still sell for two million gold. If it was a level nine Devil Beast, the price would probably increase by more than twofold. Compared to the business of Royal Bureau of Pharmaceutical, Royal Labor Union and Royal Cars and Horses Shop, their arrival time was much faster.
Using such a large amount of funds, it should be more than enough to build a Divine Weapon Camp Special Unit.
Most importantly, the various treasures contained within the body of a Level 9 Devil Beast could quickly raise the level of the party members. Some of the materials could also be used to make high level armors and weapons.
As the saying goes, one shot two birds, one stone two birds.
However, Ye Tian suddenly thought of Mei Rou's words and felt as if a bucket of cold water was poured over his head. The excitement that had just emerged on his face quickly faded away.
When Ye Tian and Bi Ling went to hunt for Silver Dragon, they were only level eight Devil Beast.
If it was a level nine Devil Beast, even twenty Magic Mentor would probably not win so easily. And now, on Ye Tian's side, other than Yeh Rong, who was an Intermediate Magic Mentor, everyone else had Primary Magic Mentor and the strength of an Beginner Divine Warrior.
With this kind of strength, it was more than enough to suppress a level eight Devil Beast. However, if it was a level nine Devil Beast, it was far from enough.
From Ye Tian's vague memories, it seemed like Ouyang Ruochen had successfully advanced on him. Ye Tian gritted his teeth and thought to himself: This little girl used me to advance her rank. Although she also broke herself, she didn't even greet him.1
Currently, only Lin Qiyu was still at the advanced Holy Battlemaster's level. Ye Tian thought that if he could think of a way for Lin Qiyu to advance to the next level, her chances of winning might be higher.
Thinking about this, Ye Tian took out the Heaven's Flexible Jade from his neck and looked outside the room. From the west room, there came a burst of string music, it was probably the sound of Mei Rou and the others playing the string. After confirming that there was no one in the yard, Ye Tian stretched out his left thumb and pressed it onto the Heaven's Flexible Jade.
Hua Tianrou looked at Ye Tian with interest and asked, "Have you finished with First Princess ?"
Ye Tian almost fainted when he heard that. Seeing how indifferent Little Dragon Maiden was, as if she didn't care about the world, he couldn't believe how gossipy she was.
With a bitter face, Ye Tian said, "Master, that's Eldest Imperial Princess. I didn't think of doing her, nor did I dare to do anything to her. "I don't even know how the emperor and Little Princess are going to cut me off after taking care of her."
Hua Tianrou's face was full of disdain. "You really don't look like a man. You actually don't dare to eat a duck that's talking to you."
Ye Tian chuckled and said, "Master, the reason I came here this time is to ask you something. Is there any way that I can help you quickly advance your rank?" For example, senior Holy Battlemaster, you can level up to a beginner god fighter in one go. "
Hua Tianrou rolled her eyes at Ye Tian and said, "Haste makes waste. Don't you understand?"
Ye Tian nodded: "I understand, I understand. But time waits for no one. The people around me still don't have enough strength. We really need to improve quickly."
Hua Tianrou looked at Ye Tian, "Do you really not understand what a drug refiner's ability is?"
Ye Tian was stunned as he said, "Isn't the skill of a pharmacist just to concoct medicinal herbs, cure illnesses, and strengthen the body?"
Hua Tianrou said, "Healing illness, healing wounds, and strengthening the body is just the initial stages of a pharmacist's ability. The true use of a pharmacist is to raise the rank of a mage or warrior."
Ye Tian stared at him and immediately said excitedly, "Master, with my current alchemist rank, can I upgrade my Mage and Warrior ranks?"
Hua Tianrou's face was full of sympathy. She shook her head at Ye Tian and said, "No."
Ye Tian became listless again.
"But." Hua Tianrou continued, "Your learning speed is so fast. If you can become a Preparation Technician as soon as possible, it would be fine."
"Preparation Technician?" Ye Tian asked.
"The rank of an alchemist has risen from Herbalist, to the Liquid Master, to the Preparation Technician, to the Soul Refiner. Your current rank is only that of an Intermediate Alchemist. You need to increase it by at least two levels until you become a Beginner Preparation Technician to be able to concoct a medicine that can raise your rank." Hua Tianrou said.
Ye Tian nodded: "Sure, I'll go read now."
Hua Tianrou smiled and said, "If someone else wants to become a pharmacist, who knows how many books and records of medicinal herbs they will have to memorize. Compared to others, your abnormal memory has saved me a lot of time. Also, before you became a Magic Mentor and Divine Warrior, you did not need to cultivate any mana or Military Force Value to get your hands on the skills. Back then, you had already laid a solid foundation, so learning it now naturally did not require much effort. You should spend more time and effort on your alchemist skills, and do your best to improve them as much as possible.
Hearing Hua Tianrou's words, Ye Tian nodded solemnly.
Hua Tianrou continued, "Now that you have the same amount of energy as a level 7 doctor, learning the skills of a doctor should not be difficult. I believe that in the near future, the skills of doctors and pharmacists will be much more important to you than the skills of warriors and mages. "
