Superbase Evolution

Chapter 426 Tian Congyun

"The young uncle is back, and helped A Tian drive away the debt collectors?" The Emperor of Heaven, wearing a cotton robe with his arms open, was eating lunch leaning against the head of the bed. After listening to the report from the celestial being next to him, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Tianren replied, "The little uncle also slapped An Hui, the deputy minister sent by the Ministry of Power Supply to collect debts. He slapped him twice, and both sides of his face were swollen, and all his teeth fell out."

"That An Hui, is she from the third mansion of the An family?" The Emperor of Heaven said coldly.

"Your Majesty, Deputy Minister An Hui is An 3's cousin." Tianren replied.

"Young uncle, those two slaps... were great... and satisfying..." The Emperor laughed, as if he was very happy. "But that kid got off easy. No one should dare to go to the Heavenly Master's Academy to collect debts in the short term."

"Should we put some more pressure on him?" Tianren asked.

"No need. He already knows how difficult the Tianshi Academy is." The Emperor of Heaven said calmly, "Let the Tianshi Academy handle that matter. The people in the Tianshi Academy have been idle for so many years. It's time for them to do something. They have to make some money to pay off their debts."

"I understand. I'll go find Dean Tian right away." Tianren responded, bowed and left.

"The young uncle has been gone for so many years and there has been no news. Why did he come back at this time and be related to that kid?" The Emperor's eyes flickered, and it was unknown what he was thinking.

The young uncle Tianxia, who had disappeared for many years, actually returned to Zenith Star and helped the new dean of Tianshi Academy beat the debt collectors. This news spread like wildfire throughout the entire Zenith Star.

"It turns out that human is the young emperor's uncle's man. No wonder he can become the dean of Tianshi Academy."

"The little uncle is coming back at a very delicate time."

"Having one person who can cause trouble in the family is troublesome enough, and now there is another one. I'm afraid the one in Tianrenyuan will have a hard time."

"Now that the little uncle has returned, I'm afraid the peaceful days of Zenith Star will come to an end."

When the bigwigs from various families heard the news that Tianxia had returned, their expressions were different.

After An 4 received the news, his face turned very ugly. With Tianxia protecting Tianshiyuan, it would not be so easy to attack Tianshiyuan.

Lin Shen brought Zha Dao back to his residence. Wei Wufu was not at home, and he was probably on the crater planet.

Just when I was about to take a nap, I heard the doorbell.

"Who are you?" Lin Shen opened the door and saw that the person who came in was an unfamiliar celestial being.

"I'm Tian Congyun from the General Affairs Department of the Imperial Palace. I've come to visit Dean Tian." Tianren took out his ID card, handed it to Lin Shen with both hands, and said with a smile.

"It's Minister Yun. If you don't mind, please sit inside." Lin Shen invited Tian Congyun into the house.

The General Affairs Department is generally responsible for logistics work, and all kinds of material transfers need to go through the General Affairs Department, which can be regarded as the God of Wealth Department.

However, Tian Congyun is only the Minister of the General Affairs Department of the Imperial Palace, not the Minister of the General Affairs Department of the Celestial Clan. This is a little different. He is only responsible for the logistics work within the Imperial Palace, which is equivalent to the personal material manager of the Emperor of Heaven. The title of this minister is actually somewhat mismatched.

But for Lin Shen, this is also a big shot. Tianshi Academy is the money-making department under the Emperor of Heaven, and the materials obtained should be handed over to the General Affairs Department of the Imperial Palace. Although Tian Congyun has no superior-subordinate relationship with Tianshi Academy in name, in fact, he is also half of Lin Shen's boss.

Any private matters of the Emperor of Heaven would probably have to be conveyed through the Minister of General Affairs.

"Dean Tian, you don't have to be so polite. I'm just a handyman in the Imperial Palace, a housekeeper at most. You can just call me Congyun." Tian Congyun said with a smile.

"Manager Yun is too modest." Lin Shen didn't say much. He just invited Tian Congyun into the living room, seated them as host and guest, made tea for him, and waited for Tian Congyun to state his purpose.

"This tea is great. I haven't had such good tea in many years." Tian Congyun took a sip of tea and exclaimed.

"It's a local specialty, not worth much. Manager Yun likes it. I have some more here, you can take it later." Lin Shen thought to himself, "What a bullshit, a bag of jasmine tea that costs only a few dollars, you haven't had it in many years, you are really pretentious."

"The emperor is frugal and advocates diligence and thrift. He is unwilling to waste money. The money he saves is used for the development of our clan. This is why the Celestial Clan is at its current peak. As the emperor's servants, we naturally have to share his worries. Let's do without these extravagant things." Tian Congyun said.

Lin Shen cursed in his heart as he listened: "Everyone in the entire Zenith Star knows that the Emperor of Heaven is a man who spends money without blinking an eye. The food, clothing, housing and transportation in the Imperial Palace are all top-notch. You come to me and say that my jasmine tea, which costs only a few dollars, is a luxury. Do you have any shame?"

Tian Congyun sighed and continued, "But we have limited abilities and can do very little for the Emperor. The people below do not understand the Emperor's painstaking efforts. Some of them are greedy and live extravagantly. I don't know how many resources that should be used for the development and construction of our tribe have been secretly embezzled. They are a group of disgusting termites. Fortunately, Dean Tian is now in charge of the Tianshi Academy. In the future, we will work together to share the worries of the Emperor and supervise the four directions. We can no longer let them do whatever they want."

"What Manager Yun said is true." After listening for a long time, Lin Shen finally understood that the Emperor of Heaven wanted them to work at the Tianshi Academy.

To put it bluntly, the goal is to get them to help the Emperor of Heaven make money.

Tian Congyun saw that Lin Shen didn't respond, so he could only continue: "Now my clan is expanding vigorously and developing many planets everywhere, but the investment and benefits are seriously unbalanced. There must be a problem. Dean Tian needs to worry about this matter."

"Is this what Chief Steward Yun meant, or what the Emperor meant?" Lin Shen asked.

"The emperor's order will arrive at Tianshi Academy tomorrow. I came here today just to have some heart-to-heart talks with you, Dean Tian. After all, you and I will be working together for a long time in the future, and we can be considered the closest comrades-in-arms. There are some things I have to let you know in advance so that you can be aware of them." Tian Congyun said.

"Master Yun, please speak. It is my duty to help the Emperor share his worries." Lin Shen knew that the order sent to the Tianshi Academy would definitely be different from what the Emperor wanted him to do. Tian Congyun was here to convey the Emperor's true intentions.

"Well, with Dean Tian's words, the emperor finally didn't make a mistake." Tian Congyun said with a look of relief: "The emperor cares about his people. He lives too frugally, not willing to eat or wear. We, the servants, can't bear to see the emperor suffer. But the General Affairs Department is really short of funds now, and we are unable to change anything. We can only ask Dean Tian to share the emperor's worries."

Lin Shen talked with Tian Congyun for a long time and finally figured out what the Emperor of Heaven meant.

Nowadays, those big guys who develop the planets secretly eat up most of the resources obtained from developing the planets, and only hand over a small part to the clan. Most of them flow into the clan treasury, and only a small part is distributed to the Emperor of Heaven.

The Emperor of Heaven asked Lin Shen to go to those planets so that he could find a way to get back the resources that those big guys had embezzled, and they could not be handed over to the clan treasury, but only to the Imperial Palace.

Of course, Tian Congyun also gave Lin Shen some hints that he could keep a portion of the resources he got back from those big guys as long as they were not too excessive.

"The Emperor of Heaven takes the money when nothing happens, and I take the blame when something goes wrong. It has nothing to do with him at all. The Emperor of Heaven is really calculating." Lin Shen cursed the Emperor of Heaven for being shameless in his heart.
