Chapter 18: Master-Apprentice Dialogue

After Dad's matter is settled, Young Master Liang must go to Hainan to determine the location of the base, and it will definitely take many days to go, so what should I do if I practice martial arts? The two masters said that in the next few days, they would go to the door to recognize the door and start their formal study of art. He didn't dare to break the appointment with Master Daxia, hey, this time is really not enough, and the helpless Young Master Liang has a big head.

After thinking about it for a long time, I finally came up with a solution, that is, if you can't eat it, you can't do it. His two masters don't seem to be in a good financial situation at the moment, and what they do in Guangzhou is to open a martial arts gym and teach people to practice martial arts, and this business doesn't make much money. Poor and rich in martial arts, the consumption of martial arts is very large, the apprentice not only eats a lot, the nutrition must keep up, and often gets injured, the master also has to be responsible for healing, some martial arts also need the cooperation of medicinal herbs, and the tuition fees collected by the master are often subsidized.

Martial arts masters are often righteous and squandering money, and are not good at management, so sometimes they will do some things to rob the rich and help the poor, which are all shy and harmful.

So if you find a decent job with a high income, Master should be interested.

Well, it's not appropriate to let the master be the dart master of the Liang family's dart bureau to go south and north, let them be the bodyguard of the Liang family's nursing home Liang Young Master didn't dare to open his mouth (for fear of being beaten), then he could only be a martial arts instructor of the escort team, the salary is high, the army is a supply system, including food, housing and clothing, and there is no need to take money out to supplement the apprentices, that salary is a lot, so that the master can also save money and have savings, which can be used to support the family.

The two masters' families are not prosperous. Huang Qiying took a son, Huang Feihong, whose wife had passed away, and he did not remarry. Tieqiao Sanliang Kun is a bachelor, he usually lives in the temple, and he probably doesn't want to marry a wife when he mixes with monks. There is nothing to worry about in the army about their current situation, and Huang Feihong can bring them over.

It is a matter of secrecy, a large number of escorts, trained by military methods, and so many guns, a discerning person can understand what he is doing at a glance, and if the leak is known by the government, it will be troublesome. This issue is also something that Mr. Liang has repeatedly emphasized that should be treated cautiously.

Young Master Liang carefully recalled that the historical comments on the character of these two masters were still good. According to the Liang family's current investigation, the reputation is indeed good, otherwise the old man would not have hired them. They are all from the Southern Shaolin lineage, and Southern Shaolin has always been full of anti-Qing people, and Young Master Liang saw Tieqiao three against the governor of Liangguang and the son of the general of Guangzhou, and this political position seems to be reliable.

Young Master Liang gritted his teeth, since he worshipped them as masters, he simply pulled them into the water together (the two masters would not shout about the apprenticeship if they knew), the ancients master and apprentice were like father and son, and they were tied together, of course, the prior temptation was still necessary.

Let's go to Huang Qiying first, Tieqiao San's political position is more obvious, let's see what Master Huang's attitude is.

Huang Qiying took his son Huang Feihong to rent a small courtyard in Guangzhou City to open a martial arts hall, the location of the martial arts hall is relatively remote, it seems that Master Huang has no money, Young Master Liang took two followers to find here, looking at this simple martial arts hall, the famous Bao Zhilin in the film and television drama has no shadow now.

Huang Qiying took his apprentice Liang Sihan to worship the tablet of the ancestor Lu Acai and drank the tea offered by Liang Sihan's hands, and their master-apprentice relationship was officially established. Master Huang pulled his son over to formally introduce them to each other, Huang Feihong is one year younger than Liang Sihan, but Huang Feihong has been learning art with his father since he was a child, if he follows the rules of advanced masters, then Huang Feihong must be a senior brother, but Huang Qiying asked his son to call Liang Young Master a senior brother, and Master Huang's humility and kindness can be seen.

The current Huang Feihong is just a twelve-year-old boy, and he doesn't match the plump and handsome image in the film and television drama, and the excitement of Young Master Liang to see the idol is not expressed, but his heart is still very happy, buddy is now Huang Feihong's senior brother.

"Sihan, Master Liang Kun's martial arts and I are all from the Southern Shaolin Hongquan, so it is right to say that Master Liang and I are the same family, and the personal relationship between us is also very good. But no matter what kind of boxing you practice, you must first practice the basic skills, that is, the horse step, the waist strength, the horse step is stable and the waist is the basis of practicing Hongquan, so in the future, you will practice the basic skills first, Feihong has followed me to practice boxing since childhood, the basic skills are already very solid, if I am not in the martial arts hall in the future, you brothers can communicate more", Master Huang said very clearly, it seems that his senior brother will have to follow the junior brother in the future.

"Master, I will definitely learn from my junior brother seriously in the future (why does this sound so awkward), but I have a reluctant request here, and I need to discuss it with Master."

"Oh, what else do you do"? Huang Qiying was a little puzzled.

"Master, this matter needs to be discussed with you alone", Young Master Liang looked at Master respectfully. Huang Qiying didn't know that this apprentice was a demon, and thought to herself how this apprentice was mysterious, and there were many things for the children of rich families. But he still took Young Master Liang to the next room: "Say, what's the matter?"

"Master, I would like to hire you as a martial arts instructor for our Liang family's escort team"

"Convoys? Martial arts instructors? What's going on? You talk about it carefully. "It seems that at least it's not a bad thing, Huang Qiying is a lot more relieved

"Our Liang family will set up commercial houses, money houses and dart bureaus in various trade cities across the country, this escort team is used to protect the safety of money houses and commercial houses, but also act as part of the guard force of the dart bureau, so our Liang family will set up a guard training base, recruit a large number of young and strong people, hire officers of the Western army, and train in the way of the Western army, but after all, we are Chinese, and Chinese martial arts should also be taught, so we also need to recruit martial arts instructors, and the salary of martial arts instructors is the same as that of Western instructors, Two hundred Mexican eagles per month". Young Master Liang explained in detail, since he wanted to bring the master in, he had to make it clear in advance.

Huang Qiying thought to himself that this Liang family is really wealthy, this foreign officer is not something that ordinary people can afford, and the Qing Dynasty also dared to invite Zeng Guofan, Zuo Zongtang, Li Hongzhang, and those governors and ministers, but this salary is really high, and he now has an income of three or five taels of silver a month, and he still accepted this rich apprentice, yesterday the Liang family sent two hundred taels of silver, and the old man Liang is a believer, and the tuition fee of one hundred taels of silver was really doubled, which is already his largest income. So he thought it would be clear to ask: "How many people are in this escort"?

"The first batch of about a thousand people, more in the future".

"What is the weapon used for"?

"Western rifles and broadswords".

"Foreign guns? Will the government agree to this escort with foreign guns?" Huang Qiying asked the point

"You don't have to worry about this master, our Liang family will definitely do well."

"Oh", in fact, Huang Qiying is just a martial artist, and he is not very clear about politics and officialdom, isn't a large number of guards with guns the army, how can the government agree.

"Master, what do you think? If you are willing to go, you can also take Feihong with you, and you can also have a care, and the escort team adopts a supply system, clothing, shoes and socks are uniformly distributed, and food and accommodation are all provided free of charge, so you can also save worry."

"Well, I think about it, there are still three apprentices here in the martial arts hall, although they are not apprentices of the official apprenticeship, but they can't be thrown down casually."

Hearing this, Young Master Liang understood that Master had already moved: "Master can ask them if they want to join the escort team, and if they want, they can go over together." The implication is that if you don't want to, you can only be embarrassed, what do you want this kind of apprentice who doesn't think about the master?

"Okay, I know, I'll inform you after thinking about it in two days", Huang Qiying is the master after all, if the apprentice can't say it, he will agree immediately, it will be too shameless.

Face is too important for the Chinese of this era, and it is also an integral part of traditional Chinese culture, and Peanut often hears a country proverb: "People want face."

skin", in modern times, it seems that it is not very particular.
