Aside from Yang Ying, Elder Jingde and the others were also listening intently, wanting to know how their Sir planned to proceed.

‘I want you to… purchase all labor-intensive industries in the entire Great Yan Kingdom and turn them into internal industries within our Taoist sect.”

“And then… make sweeping changes to these acquired industries.”

“Reduce working hours, increase wages, build employee housing… or increase educational funding… whichever method is used, treat them as human beings first!”

As he said this,

Xuanqing looked at Elder Jingde, “Elder Jingde, you are in charge of Taiji Hall’s Law Enforcement Team.”

So… during Yang Ying’s acquisition of these enterprises, if there are any short-sighted capitalists obstructing her, you will be responsible for handling them.”

His tone was particularly cold as he said this.

Because,

Xuanqing had once seen a news article where a foreign company opened a factory in Great Yan Kingdom. However, because of its high wages, it was targeted by vampire-like capitalists.

In fact… these vampires even made some seemingly righteous and hypocritical statements.

Things like offering high salaries would discourage young people from striving, or that it would hinder the development of other ‘entrepreneurs.'”

Honestly,

this was just absurd.

Although Xuanqing had an indifferent personality, he was extremely disgusted with such vampire-like beings.

At this moment,

Everyone thought to themselves after hearing their palace lord’s words: it seemed that some people were about to have bad luck.

“I understand, Palace Lord!”

At some point, a notepad had appeared in Yang Ying’s hand, and she recorded Xuanqing’s words.

Hmm, Yang Ying, you have a heavy burden. Besides acquiring labor-intensive industries, I have other tasks for you.”

Xuanqing gently tapped the table. 𝐟re𝚎𝘄𝚎𝐛𝚗o𝚟el.c𝐨𝚖

Starting now, establish a dedicated research department within Taiji Hall. You are to recruit researchers from all fields worldwide.”

“Especially in material science and energy… for now, have a goal to achieve controlled nuclear fusion and solve the energy problem.”

Having finished giving orders to Yang Ying,

Xuanqing asked in a deep voice, “Yang Ying, do you have any questions about any of this?”

Hearing this,

Yang Ying shook her head, then hesitated and carefully said, “Palace Lord, I understand everything you said, but…”

“But, achieving all of this would require astronomical amounts of money. With our current financial resources, unless we resort to robbery, otherwise…”

Whether it was acquiring the country’s labor-intensive industries or setting up a research department exclusive to the Taoist sect, neither was a simple matter.

Not to mention, just the ‘agricultural seed’ research lab currently affiliated with the sect consumes hundreds of millions of funds annually for the research of better fertilizers and better seeds.

Let alone now, having full subject research, and even high-end projects like ‘controlled nuclear fusion,’ it was terrifying to think about how much money would be consumed.

However,

hearing the word ‘robbery,’

Xuanqing chuckled and said, “Initially, to raise funds for the development of our sect, I created a life extension pill that could extend a person’s life by two years.”

“Later, when the funds were sufficient and the connections were established, production of the life extension pills ceased.”

“Elder Jingde has reported to me that many wealthy individuals and foreign capital are inquiring whether this elixir can still be provided.”

“Even officials at the top of Great Yan Kingdom have once pressured our sect, but they later gave up because of some other matters.”

Hearing this,

Elder Jingde nodded understandingly.

Human nature is greedy. When initially using the life extension pills to establish connections, once people had tried a two-year life extension pill, they would want a five-year one, and then a ten-year, twenty-year, or even an eternal life one.

Had it not been for those shockingincidents that occurred later, who knows what kind of chaos would have arisen out of this.

“Palace Lord, do you mean… to continue selling life extension pills?” Elder Jingde asked tentatively.

“Yes!”

Xuanqing nodded but added, “However, this time we are selling them not to establish connections, but merely to raise funds. In terms of price… we can make them more expensive.”

“Understood.”

Elder Jingde nodded.

On the side,

Yang Ying breathed a sigh of relief.

Since their palace lord was planning to restart the production of life extension pills, dealing with mere worldly money would be a cinch.

I understand, Palace Lord. Once the funds are in place, I will expedite this matter,” Yang Ying promised.

“There is no need to wait until the funds have been raised to do this. I will give you some gold to use as start-up capital,” said Xuanqing.

As he said this,

Xuanqing waved his right hand,

Whoosh~

Countless gold bricks appeared out of thin air, neatly stacked in the courtyard, emitting a dazzling glow under the sunlight.

There are over a hundred tons of gold here, which should be enough for the early stage of spending, right?” asked Xuanqing.

This gold was all bought directly from the Game Mall, and it didn’t cost many Ingots because it had never been circulated in the market, so it didn’t contain any wealth Qi.

And the pricing of goods in the Game Mall was based on the item’s level. Since this gold without wealth Qi was of low value, its price was very cheap.

Some might ask, if the price was so low, why not just make infinite exchanges and forget about selling life extension pills to the rich, sparing oneself the trouble?
