Chapter Seven: The Poor and the Rich (First Update)
"Uncle Zhao don't worry! We have nearly 100 guests in Zhaojiazhuang, and Chen Jiaotou guards the manor, as long as the bandits in Shaohua Mountain don't come out, the ordinary dozens of bandits can't threaten us!"
Seeing the panic on Steward Zhao's face, Gao Cheng couldn't help but laugh and comforted him. When he was in the Three Kingdoms World, he didn't know how many bandits and road tyrants he had sent people to exterminate, Zhu Wu, Chen Da and Yang Chun of Shaohua Mountain were good, but in Gao Cheng's eyes, they were not a threat.
Steward Zhao's brows stretched a little when he heard this, but his heart still did not completely relax, and said: "What the young master said has some truth, then we won't go to the city first, but it's better to let Chen Jiaotou practice the Zhuang Ke these days and be fully prepared!"
Gao Cheng said: "These things bother Uncle Zhao to worry about. ”
Steward Zhao has been in charge of the trivial matters of Zhaojiazhuang for decades, and Gao Cheng does not have to worry about these things at all. What he has to do now is to get started with this golden toad skill as soon as possible and have some means to protect himself and his life.
It has been more than 100 years since the founding of the Northern Song Dynasty, and it seems that the flowers are boiling oil with brocade and fire, and it seems that the scene of a prosperous era is that neither the Daojun Emperor nor the officials of the court will think that in a few more years, the Jurchen iron cavalry from the north will step through the Yellow River and go straight to the city of Tokyo.
In fact, before the Jurchens went south, there were already signs of overthrow in the Northern Song Dynasty, and Emperor Daojun exhausted the people's financial resources for Huashigang, and the court was full of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, who exploited the people to the extreme. There are a few brave people who are unwilling to sit still, and they have occupied the mountains as thieves, except for the Great Song Dynasty Tokyo City, every road and every prefecture has thieves who occupy the mountains as the king.
The so-called official forced the people to rebel, and then for a period of time, the famous Song Dynasty Four Kou will appear, if the four Kou together, Fang La occupies the southeast, Song Jiang divides Shandong, Wang Qing attacks Jingxiang, Tian Hu starts in Hebei, under siege on all sides, even if the Great Song Dynasty still has the Western Army to rely on, it is difficult to defeat four hands with two fists.
Even if he can withstand the four great Kou, the national strength of the Great Song Dynasty will decline to the limit. Unable to control all state capitals, counties, and counties. Even without the Jurchens, the Great Song Dynasty is estimated to not be able to survive for too long.
"If I want to subdue the true spirits of the one hundred and eight star gods of Tiangang and Earth, there are only two ways, either let these people recognize me as the master, wait until the shuttle channel is opened, and send them to Heaven to reunite with their divine powers, or I can only kill them with their hot hands and directly collect the true spirit fragments. ”
When Gao Cheng was cultivating the Golden Toad Gong, he was constantly thinking about how to accomplish his purpose in this world. The two ways to obtain the true spirit of the star god require Gao Cheng to have great fame and power, and he can recruit future heroes of Liangshan.
This not only requires great financial resources, but also requires Gao Cheng to have a lot of strength.
Otherwise, it won't take too long, the world will be full of thieves, heroes will flock, in such an environment, there is not enough strength, and if you want to make those unruly heroes surrender, you can't do it at all.
"My current identity is the Great Song Dynasty, if I dare to go up the mountain as a thief, it will definitely cause an uproar in the world, and there has never been a rebellion by the descendants of the royal family as thieves in this world. ”
Gao Cheng also thought about selling Zhaojiazhuang's family business directly, and then went directly to Liangshan to drive Wang Lun down, and became the lord of Liangshan before Chao Gai and Song Jiang. But the thought only flickered and vanished.
The restriction of his background makes Gao Cheng unable to do this, if he becomes the master of Liangshan Cottage, as a clan, he will rebel against the Zhao family, which will inevitably lead to repeated crusades from the army. It won't give him room to develop slowly at all.
What's more, there is also the Nine Heavens Xuannu behind Song Jiang, the Tiankui Star Lord, and Liangshan is a good place for the Nine Heavens Xuannu to find him a good place to start. Once Gao Cheng occupies the magpie's nest, even the Nine Heavens Xuannu will pay attention.
After thinking about it for a long time, Gao Cheng sighed secretly in his heart, "If you want to strengthen your power, you can only choose to rely on the power of the Great Song Dynasty." Zhao Yu, who I incarnated, also has a name in the Zongren Mansion. It shouldn't be a problem to find a relationship and become an idle official position. ”
"As long as you have an official body, you will have a channel for promotion. At that time, even if all the one hundred and eight star gods converge on Liangshan, I will have a way to achieve my goal!"
After Gao Cheng made a decision in his heart, he put these things aside for the time being and concentrated on cultivating the Golden Toad Gong.
Ten days later.
In the steaming room, two maids were struggling to pour hot water into the bath bucket, in which there were a large number of medicinal materials to replenish the body's qi and blood consumption. Under the steaming of the heat, the herbs exude a strong smell, and the smell can irritate the eyes and leave tears.
"Go down first!"
Gao Cheng waved his hand, asked the two maids to retreat, then took off his clothes and stepped into the bathtub, closed his eyes slightly, and began to run the Qi route of Jin Toad Gong.
Steaming hot, streams of warm currents are constantly transformed into pure internal qi along with the practice of qi and luck, warming the meridians and allowing the subtle impurities in the body to be continuously discharged.
For a full hour, the water in the bath bucket had become cold, and the medicinal power in the medicinal herbs had been exhausted, and Gao Cheng got up.
"The effect of this blood-nourishing and qi-replenishing formula is really good, in just ten days, I have become the first weight of the Golden Toad Gong! However, the faster the strength progresses, the more medicinal materials are consumed! Just these medicinal materials are worth seven or eight hundred taels! It is the annual income of the entire Zhaojiazhuang!"
Gao Cheng moved his hands and feet, felt the warm internal qi in his body, and couldn't help but sigh.
The blood and qi nourishing formula is a recipe he obtained in the Three Kingdoms World, which can quench the impurities of the body, even if he doesn't practice any boxing techniques, it can also make people reach the third layer of training.
However, even this kind of lowest-grade prescription is the core secret of a family in the Three Kingdoms World and the Water Margin World. And the use of medicinal baths to assist in cultivation costs a lot. As the saying goes, the poor are rich and the martial arts are really true.
Walking out of the room, Gao Cheng changed into a short combat outfit and came to the martial arts training ground on the west side. At this time, Chen Hong was training strictly with more than 20 villagers.
More than 20 dealers are holding knives, guns, whistles, sticks, and practicing moves at a glance, and these dealers are showing the muscle outline of their arms, and they are all very serious. I can't wait to remember every sentence Chen Hong said.
No matter in any world, the cultivation of exercises and moves has a very high value, and these Zhuang Ke are essentially ordinary people, but they have just practiced some fist and foot kung fu. If Chen Hong is serious, he can kill all these people by himself.
His guidance is the true method of cultivation for ordinary people, but anyone who is a little self-motivated will listen carefully to the guidance and practice hard according to the guidance. Maybe when, this little bit of kung fu can save their lives.
