Chapter 335: To settle accounts, you must first check the accounts

The Tiangongjian was divided into eight blocks, and each block was further divided into 108 courtyards, each of which was like the iron smelting workshop we had seen before.

Wen Rui followed a group of officials and inspected each courtyard one by one. It took them ten days to complete the entire tour.

The gods in heaven have long lifespans, and their bodies are always in optimal condition. Their concept of time is also different from that of mortals, so they don’t need to follow a schedule of working from sunrise to sunset and resting from sunset to sunrise.

During these ten days, the immortal craftsmen and immortal servants worked without rest. The entire Tiangong Supervisor never went off work. It operated 24 hours a day without even a shift change.

At first Wen Rui felt strange. He thought that the Heavenly Court really did not treat workers as human beings. They exploited their labor in this way and were even more cruel than himself, the capitalists.

But he changed his mind and realized that the workers of Tiangongjian should not be treated as human beings. They are immortals. Even if they are low-level immortals, they are still immortals after all.

Since he has unlimited energy, unlimited physical strength, and no need for sleep, isn't that the 007 Holy Body?
Moreover, the Heaven Court prohibits astringency and advocates purity of mind and few desires.

Then the immortals would have no possibility of forming a family, nor would they have any entertainment venues to entertain themselves. After get off work, they could only sit and stare blankly, or rather, meditate and contemplate, trying to comprehend the truth.

In this case, is there any need to leave work?

However, after asking Lu Bi, Wen Rui realized that it was not an endless work. He was still given a day off on the first and fifteenth day of every month.

Every year, a special day off is granted for the birthdays of the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother, which is called "universal celebration".

Looking at these immortal craftsmen working so hard, Wen Rui couldn't help but feel sympathetic towards them.

He was also quite curious and wanted to know whether they regretted reincarnating into heaven but becoming cattle and horses for eternity.

Wen Rui inspected very carefully, staying in each courtyard for a while and observing the work of the immortal craftsmen.

Seeing how serious and meticulous he was, the officials and immortal craftsmen of the Tiangongjian could not help but whisper about it.

"The last Heavenly Lord who was in charge of us was not this attentive. He only came once and took a quick look. He got bored after only a day or two."

"It is rumored that the Emperor is also well-known as a skilled craftsman in the mortal world. He is considered an expert and can see the ins and outs of things. That is why he looked at it carefully."

"Since you understand, we must perform well and show our best skills."

"Tsk, it's better for an amateur to be in charge of us. You know, it's not easy to fool an expert..."

……

After Wen Rui was conferred the holy body of the Great Emperor of Merit, his ears and eyes became extremely sensitive, and he could hear all these whispers in low voices clearly.

After listening to the discussions of these immortals, Wen Rui just found it funny. He was not here to inspect the work. The reason why he stayed for a long time was that he turned on the pupil camera and AI machine learning assistance.

He was stealing knowledge under the guise of inspection.

Wen Rui's technical level is far higher than that of this group of immortal craftsmen, but he still lacks practical experience in how to refine and process heavenly materials.

As the saying goes, one can polish jade with stones from other mountains, and there must be one teacher among three people.

After a long journey, Wen Rui collected a large amount of craft information, which almost completely covered all categories of low-level fairy treasures.

All the process drawings must be stored in the warehouse of Tiangongjian, but knowledge gained from paper is always superficial. It is necessary to collect the practical information first, and then use the power to review the drawings for comparison, so that the knowledge can be mastered more firmly.

After the inspection, Wen Rui did not raise any questions about the workshop production and seemed quite satisfied. Lu Bi had just breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that this stage would be passed safely, but Wen Rui said with a stern face: "Lu Jiancheng, finally, take me to the warehouse to have a look."

When the word "warehouse" was mentioned, Lu Bi paused and smiled unnaturally, "I will obey the emperor's order, but... there are yellow turban warriors moving goods back and forth, it's chaotic and noisy, there's nothing to see."

Wen Rui smiled coldly, "The warehouse is the focus of this inspection. I took over the Tiangong Supervisor, so of course I have to calculate the family's financial situation. In case the Ministry of Finance checks the accounts in the future and finds any shortages, I will not take the blame for my predecessor."

Lu Bi had no choice but to agree: "Yes, please follow me to the storehouse."

Soon, the group arrived at the Tiangongjian warehouse, which was a square brick and stone building.

From the outside, this small building has only three floors, and is no more than ten meters long and wide, so its capacity is very limited.

But the two steel doors of the small building, which were engraved with protective array patterns, were unusually large.

Two rows of golden strongmen carried huge iron boxes on their shoulders, going in and out, transporting them back and forth.

While countless finished products were being transported in, countless raw materials were also transported out and sent to the various courtyards within the prison.

A small building certainly cannot hold so many raw materials and finished products. It is obvious that there is something very special going on inside.

Sure enough, when Wen Rui walked in, he saw a very spacious hall with corridors all around it, leading to an extra-large warehouse with an equally large storage capacity.

Lu Bi stepped forward and said, "Emperor, the warehouse of Tiangongjian is divided into storage warehouse and material warehouse. On the left side of the hall are 36 storage warehouses for storing various finished products, and on the right side are 72 material warehouses for storing various raw materials."

"The treasury is only a temporary storage. After the inventory is completed, it will be transported to the Golden Pavilion and Jade Palace or the Jade Pool Palace, and distributed to male and female fairies by the Golden Pavilion Chief Steward and the Jade Pool Chief Steward respectively."

The first strange thing about the Heavenly Palace is that the internal affairs of male immortals are under the management of the Jade Emperor, while the internal affairs of female immortals are under the management of the Queen Mother. The two sides are clearly separated to minimize the chances of contact.

Even the supplies distributed by the Heavenly Court had to be distributed separately.

"Emperor, I will take you to each warehouse to check it out."

Lu Bi made a gesture of invitation and was about to lead Wen Ruiru to inspect the courtyard and the storehouse.

"No need!" Wen Rui waved his hand and said, "There are so many warehouses, how can I have the leisure to count them one by one? It will take more than ten days to go through this circle again."

Lu Bi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "There are so many types and quantities of materials in the warehouse that it is indeed difficult to count them. We have already held a banquet in the Tiangongjian official office to welcome the emperor. We have specially invited the kitchen fairy of Yaochi. Please do me a favor, emperor..."

"You don't need to eat. I've already removed my intestines and stomach."

Wen Rui said coldly, "I don't know if you have heard of my background when you asked me about it. I have been a military commander for many years, which means I work in logistics. I can't say I know all the tricks of warehouse shortages and embezzlement, but at least I am familiar with it."

Having said that, he patted his chest, and a space vortex appeared in front of him. Ultron robots came out one after another, in an endless stream.

Soon, the Ultron robots were lined up neatly in the hall, exactly one hundred and eight.

"Go and get all the accounts of materials entering and leaving the warehouse for the past five hundred years!"

Wen Rui said in a grim tone: "Anyway, no one needs to sleep. From today on, no one is allowed to leave this place. You must explain the problems you have found to me at the designated time and place!"
