Chapter 9 Work Starts with Pig Farming

"Wuhumen was founded more than 300 years ago, when the world was in turmoil, five knights who traveled here, could not bear to see the rebels slaughtering the people, and used the village as a stronghold, while teaching their own martial arts, while leading the villagers to resist the rebels.

Later, the imperial court pacified foreign enemies and rewarded them for meritorious deeds. Originally, the five knights would be crowned officials, but the four of them had no intention of pursuing a career, thinking that the world had been calmed, so they planned to go their separate ways. As Wang Xi walked, he introduced the history of Wuhumen to Chen Gou'er.

After a pause, he continued: "At that time, the Four Tigers had planned to disband, but the villagers enthusiastically retained them, and after more than 20 years, the Four Tigers found that they and this village were no longer separated from each other, and there were already too many of their disciples and grandchildren here.

In fact, the four tigers were also old and began to want to settle down, and finally the four of them settled in this village as soon as they discussed. In order to thank these five people for their merits, the imperial court renamed the village Five Tigers Village, and the Five Tigers also took advantage of the situation here to establish the Five Tigers Gate. ”

"Slow, it was still five tigers before, why is it becoming four tigers now? Senior Sister Wang, you are confused about me......" Chen Gou'er was a little confused, five tigers, four tigers, and finally five tigers, which made him a little unable to react.

"Because one of the tigers died in more than 20 years of fighting, the five tigers became four tigers...... Fortunately, the fallen ancestor, with the consent of his master, has passed down everything he has learned. Wang Xi replied, "This ancestor, who studied under Wudang and specialized in tiger claw hands, improved this martial art by himself, created an exclusive tiger claw skill, and made a name for himself in the rivers and lakes." The Tiger Claw Hand was originally Wudang's martial arts, and before he died, he asked someone to go back to the Wudang faction to ask if he could pass on this martial arts here. The contemporary head of Wudang believes that the ancestor's tiger claw skill is not the same martial arts as the Wudang tiger claw hand, and there is no martial art of greedy ink, and allows him to pass on the martial arts. ”

"Can't you pass it on casually?" Chen Gou'er was more concerned about this.

"After all, there are three concepts involved...... Wang Xi also knew that Chen Gou'er was not originally from the rivers and lakes, and he didn't mind explaining, "The first problem is that martial arts was created by the hard work of the predecessors, and a lot of blood and sweat was paid for it. Second, the more people learn, the easier it is to find out the flaws, in order to be able to ensure the mystery and power of martial arts, it is naturally not easy to spread randomly; third, martial arts is a symbol of the sect, if it is because of the indiscriminate transmission, causing someone to break the law and commit crimes in the name of the Five Tigers, others cannot find each other, they will naturally find the Five Tigers Gate first to ask. ”

"Oh......" Chen Gou'er really hadn't thought about this kind of question.

"Alright, now we're in the very center of the village. Wang Xi stopped suddenly, "The periphery of the village is basically made up of ordinary villagers' houses. Most of the villagers of Wuhu Village are descendants of the disciples of the Five Tigers, and of course, the descendants of miscellaneous servants. At present, Wuhu Village only allows such people to settle in the village.

This part of the center is the core of Wuhumen. The Five Tigers Academy teaches core martial arts, the Jingwu Academy teaches miscellaneous martial arts, the Shennong Academy teaches pharmacology and medical skills, and the Wenqu Academy teaches Jianghu knowledge and other knowledge. These four courtyards are the core courtyards of the Five Tigers Sect, and in addition, there is also the Hundred Tiger Courtyard, which manages the disciples, and the Young Tiger Pavilion where I work belongs to the Hundred Tigers. At the same time, there are also precepts for punishing disciples who violate discipline and maintaining the safety of the sect. Finally, there is the White Tiger Residence, where the head of the house is located.

Incidentally, there are many village industries around the village, such as farmland, medicine fields, forest farms, fish ponds, breeding farms and special farms. In addition, the shops in Wuhu Village are basically the industry of Wuhumen. Through these industries, Wuhumen can basically achieve self-sufficiency within the house. Of course, outside the village, such as Chang'an City, Xianyang City and other places, there are also our industries, and the village's industry is just to reduce some daily expenses, and it is not expected to be profitable. ”

"Then what do I need to do?" Chen Gou'er pointed to himself, he hadn't forgotten that he was a miscellaneous disciple.

"It depends on what you know!" Wang Xi replied, "No, you can't learn, but the apprentice's salary is halved." You can work directly, and you will be treated differently according to different types of work. Don't say anything else...... The wages of a sweeper and a cook must not be the same, right? Neither can a medicine farmer be the same as a medicine maker? So, what will you do?"

"I ...... I have a primary school diploma, and when I was in the township, I also helped with farming and raising pigs when I was busy farming. Chen Gou'er thought about it, and he seemed to be able to get his hands on these two or three things, whether he was proficient or not.

"Then I can provide you with five jobs now......" Wang Xi flipped through the folder in his hand, " The first job is sanitation, cleaning a street every morning, noon and evening, and the salary is calculated according to the basic salary and bonus; the second job is a medicine farmer, but it is estimated that you have to learn the knowledge of drug cultivation, so it is calculated according to the salary of the apprentice; the third is a farmer, what does not need to be said; the fourth is a farm to raise livestock and poultry; the fifth is a special farm, raising animals with medicinal value, such as sika deer or something, but it also needs to learn for a period of time, and this time is opened to you according to the apprentice's salary. ”

"Senior sister, what do you suggest I do?" Chen Gou'er hesitated a little and simply asked Wang Xi for advice.

"Medicinal farmers can learn about medicinal cultivation, and they can learn pharmacology and pharmacy if they continue their studies. Those who practice martial arts, bruises, sprains, injuries and bleeding are inevitable, and they know some techniques and have more protection, but basically, the Wenqu Academy will teach some common knowledge, and unless you plan to specialize, there is no need to waste too much energy on it. In the final analysis, we are not proficient in the use of drugs, and the knowledge of drug prevention and detoxification is good to grasp initially......

Sanitation has the lowest wages, but it is stable and the workload is not large. The wages of special farms are three percent higher than those of farms, and the work intensity is not high, but the workload is large. The farm is work intensively, but the workload is not much. As for cultivated land, the wages are definitely not high, and the only advantage is that in addition to the wages, about 30% of the harvest can be left. Wang Xi thought about it, and then analyzed the situation of these five professions for Chen Gou'er.

After a pause, he continued: "After three years of work, if you can't transfer to an outer disciple, you can only transfer to a miscellaneous servant. You are now twelve years old, but there is hope. You should choose a job with less workload, in exchange for more time to practice martial arts, and only with achievements can you become an outer disciple, if you just come for the salary, then it doesn't matter. ”

In other words, unless you want to specialize in pharmacology, or you want to become a handyman, there is almost no need to consider the three jobs of medicine farmers, farmers, and special farms. The sanitation wage is the lowest, and Wang Xi emphasized this issue for the first time, which shows that the level of wages also has a certain importance.

Chen Gou'er quickly sorted out his thoughts, according to Wang Xi, in fact, he had only one choice at the beginning.

"I'll go to the farm!" Chen Gou'er immediately said.

"A wise choice. Wang Xi smiled and said, "Then, I will take you to the dormitory first, the miscellaneous disciples are all four people in a dormitory, if you become an outer disciple after three years, you will be provided with an independent dormitory, if you become a miscellaneous soldier, you need to rent another house to live." Of course, even now, the rent and utility bills are shared equally between the four of you, so no comment, right? By the way, the outer disciples do not need to pay rent, and the inner disciples do not need to pay the water and electricity bills. ”

"No!" Chen Gou'er knew very well that it was indeed impossible for miscellaneous disciples to enjoy the treatment of so many formal disciples.

"Although you are a miscellaneous disciple, you are also a disciple of the Five Tiger Sect, and the sect will teach you "Tiger Fist" for free. At the same time, from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m., a three-hour cultural class will be held free of charge. Finally, there are two sets of standard clothes a year, a waist card for the status of a miscellaneous disciple, a physical examination once every six months, a half-price discount on the cost of injury treatment, and a free haircut, which is the welfare of the miscellaneous disciples. Wang Xi nodded, and then said the entry benefits.
