138: C138 The Ideal of the Southern Dust

C138 The Ideal of the Southern Dust

After entering the Royal Bureau of Pharmaceutical gate, Nan Chen was carefully looking at the growth of each and every herb in the medicine garden. Seeing Nan Chen's serious look, Ye Tian pondered whether it was time to give Nan Chen a name.

After interacting with Nan Chen for a period of time and probing him a few times, Ye Tian had basically confirmed Nan Chen's character and character. In terms of age, Nan Chen was a few years older than Ye Tian. Ye Tian had once investigated Nan Chen's background. He was the top scholar in the medical field for the last four years, and before becoming the top scholar, Nan Chen was a member of a poor family in the Hedong County.

As the examination was for medicine, and the results were extremely outstanding, the Ministry of Administration directly assigned it to the Royal Bureau of Pharmaceutical. When Nan Chen first entered the Pharmacy Bureau, he was in high spirits and swore to establish a career and accomplish a great cause. However, the Pharmaceutical Bureau was overstaffed and full of bureaucracy. Everyone valued background and birth, so it was only natural that people like Nan Chen, who were pure white, would be ostracized. Due to his erudite knowledge in medicine, and also being the current top scholar in medicine, the former chief of Royal Bureau of Pharmaceutical, Lu Shangduo, barely managed to give him the position of apothecary.

However, to the top scholar of an empire, speaking harshly, the position of an apothecary was an insult to him.

After being ostracized by the crowd, Nan Chen felt a little disheartened. His previous ambition was shattered into pieces by the cold reality. Under the pain of contemplation, Nan Chen started to think about the work that he was truly qualified for.

Therefore, after some consideration, Nan Chen didn't mind Lu Shangduo giving him the position of alchemist. As someone who wasn't used to relationships, he was happy to do a job where he didn't interact with other people but only with medicine.

It was also because of his straightforwardness and warmth that Nan Chen did not offend anyone in the midst of the scheming and scheming Royal Bureau of Pharmaceutical. On the contrary, he had made the inspection of medicines sound and sound. Three years later, he would be in charge of all matters concerning the identification of medicinal herbs. Nan Chen had become an indispensable figure in the Pharmaceutical Bureau.

At this moment, Nan Chen was squinting his eyes as he carefully observed the growth of the herbs in the medicinal field. From time to time, he would talk to the other workers about how to water the herbs, how to remove insects, and how to prevent drought.

Seeing Nan Chen so engrossed, Ye Tian continued to think.

Currently, out of the four main industries under Imperial Household Department, the imperial Bureau of Mint and the Royal Cars and Horses Shop already had a leader, and according to Ye Tian's plan, sooner or later, he would have to hand over the Royal Labor Union to Ruan Ji as president. There was only one Royal Bureau of Pharmaceutical left, and there had never been a suitable candidate.

The person in charge of these industries was not someone that anyone could become just because they wanted to. The manager had to meet a few requirements. Firstly, he had to be loyal to Ye Tian and not have any second thoughts. Secondly, they had to know how to manage. After all, as the leader, they had to use their power and influence to command a large group of people. If they didn't have the tiniest bit of experience in controlling people, it would be hard to convince them. Third, they had to be proficient in the relevant businesses. For example, Denean was proficient in finance, so she naturally could be qualified to hold the position of the Royal Bureau of Mint's chief. Ouyang Ruochen was proficient at escorting and sending darts, so it was naturally easier for her to manipulate Royal Cars and Horses Shop.

Ruan Ji had been in the Royal Labor Union for a long time, and his reputation was flourishing. Although his crafting skills could not be compared with Ye Tian's, judging by the standards of technology in this world, Ruan Ji's craftsmanship was definitely not low. In addition, the workers all approved of Ruan Ji's management. From this point, Ruan Ji was the best candidate to be the president of Royal Labor Union.

Soong Yuzhe had already returned to his hometown, and all the matters regarding Imperial Household Department had become the burden on Ye Tian's shoulders. However, there was only one Ye Tian, and it was impossible for him to manage so many businesses at the same time. After smoothly allowing Denean to take over the imperial Bureau of Mint and Ouyang Ruochen to take over the Royal Cars and Horses Shop, Ye Tian had been thinking about a suitable opportunity to have Ruan Ji take over the Royal Labor Union. At the same time, he was also looking for a candidate for the Royal Bureau of Pharmaceutical Bureau Chief.

Being a carefree shopkeeper was Ye Tian's dream.

Currently, the most suitable candidate for the Royal Bureau of Pharmaceutical Elder was just in front of him.

Nan Chen didn't see Ye Tian because they were separated by the courtyard wall and the corridor door. He was still frowning and squinting his eyes, observing the herbs one by one.

Ye Tian made up his mind in his heart, and didn't disturb Nan Chen's working state. Ye Tian turned around and walked to his exclusive pharmacy.

He first took out the remaining portion of Amocillin that he had kept in the cupboard and looked at it in his hands. After estimating the number of cubes, he then found three glass test tubes and poured the rest of the Amocillin into three separate test tubes.

No more and no less, just enough to fill the three test tubes.

Ye Tian put the glass test tube into his pocket with satisfaction and walked out of the pharmacy.

At this moment, Nan Chen had just finished checking the herbs and saw Ye Tian walking out of the pharmacy. He quickly ran over and said with a smile, "Sir, why didn't you say anything when you came."

Ye Tian waved his hand, "I can see that you're carefully inspecting the herbs, I don't want to disturb you."

After a pause, Ye Tian looked at Nan Chen and said seriously: "Nan Chen, there are some things I want to talk to you about."

Nan Chen nodded: "Yes, Lord, please speak, what is it?"

"How many years has the Royal Bureau of Pharmaceutical been established for?"

"Tianyuan was first established in 1877, twenty-eight years have passed since then." Nan Chen said.

"Then tell me, what's the problem with the Royal Bureau of Pharmaceutical?" Ye Tian asked.

After a pause, Ye Tian continued: "I'm talking about internal coordination and management."

Looking at Ye Tian's serious expression, Nan Chen thought for a while before slowly saying, "The organization is bloated, we don't have enough manpower, we're scheming, we're inefficient."

Ye Tian nodded his head in admiration and asked again, "If I want you to solve these problems, what effective methods do you have?"

Nan Chen smiled, "It is not his place. He does not plan for anything. "Lord, I think it's better for me to be at ease as my apothecary. As for the problems within the Medicine Bureau, it's better to leave them to others to consider."1

Looking at Nan Chen's lack of ambition, Ye Tian gritted his teeth and stared at him, "The Pharmaceutical Bureau can't not have a leader all the time. I have the position of manager in charge of Imperial Household Department, and have all sorts of things to do, so I can't stay in the Pharmaceutical Bureau forever. "In a few days, I will request the Emperor to come and take over the post of head of the Pharmaceutical Bureau. If the Emperor agrees, you must not disappoint me."

With that, Ye Tian left in a hurry, leaving Nan Chen standing there in a daze for a long time.

Although Nan Chen still had a calm expression on his face, his heart was in turmoil.

Nan Chen was a low-key person in the Pharmaceutical Bureau. He was cautious in dealing with the world and didn't interfere with anything other than the identification of drugs. This was just a form of self-protection after being ostracized. As the top scholar for pharmacology, Nan Chen didn't really lose his dream when he was young. However, the realization of his dream required the cooperation of all kinds of factors, whether it be internal factors, external factors, subjective factors or objective factors.

Nan Chen was very clear that, at least for now, he still lacked a lot of conditions to achieve his dream. Before the opportunity presented itself, all he could do was to retract his wings and be a good person and do things with peace of mind.

After several years, Nan Chen's idealistic heart gradually aged. Even though he was only at his first year of life, his spirit and fighting spirit were far from what they had been at that time.

Ye Tian's words caused Nan Chen to have an intense ideological struggle.

If the Emperor really allowed Ye Tian's invitation to play, and Nan Chen really became the director of Royal Bureau of Pharmaceutical, then all the countless ideas that he had from before would have a solid foundation.

Extending his skills and ambition had become something that could be done at a moment's notice.

Watching Ye Tian's back as he gradually disappeared outside the Royal Bureau of Pharmaceutical gate, Nan Chen slowly bent his slightly trembling body down and bowed deeply towards the gate.

When they returned to the Jade Lake West Garden, due to Ye Tian's suggestion, Mei Rou, Bi Ling, and Denean cooked a huge table of food. They were waiting for Ye Tian to come back before they started eating.

As soon as Ye Tian entered, he saw that the entire courtyard was filled with cawing birds and birds, a scene of red powder flying everywhere. Not only did Mei Rou, Bi Ling, Denean, and Yu Loongyi talk together, but even Yeh Rong, Ouyang Ruochen, and Lin Qiyu were present. Anqi was already sitting at the table, looking at the dishes greedily. Seeing Ye Tian enter, Sophie immediately ran over. She called out "Master" and snuggled close to him.

Rubbing his lips, Ye Tian looked at the scene in front of him that looked like any man would have a nosebleed. He sighed in his heart, "I wonder how the imperial harem is compared to me."

Ye Tian walked in front of the table and shouted at the crowd. A group of beautiful ladies surrounded the square table.

After everyone sat down, Ye Tian looked at the variety of delicacies on the table and almost drooled out of his mouth. He could not help but want to pick up a big piece of the chopsticks.

However, today was the first day of Royal Bank, and was Denean's most important future business. No matter what, she should at least say a few words of congratulations.

Ye Tian sat down, picked up his glass and said: "Today is the opening day of Royal Bank, and the royal bonds will be issued smoothly. Today, we have earned one million silver taels, it can be said to be a start. We wish the Royal Bank to be filled with gold and silver from now on. "Come, I'll do my best."

As he spoke, Ye Tian raised his head and drained his cup in one gulp.

After putting down the wine cup, Ye Tian quickly picked up the chopsticks and picked up the bowl of Red Braised Meat that was already full of soup.

He touched the three glass test tubes on his chest, and then held them in his hands and said, "You all should know about the liquid in this tube. It's called the Ye Clan Amocillin, and its effect is to be able to instantly level up the warriors and mages below Magic Mentor or Holy Battlemaster."
