After Mengqi and Song General Office agreed on this matter, the two sides agreed to prepare for ten days, and began to gradually send personnel to hand over the implementation, and then Mengqi asked Song General Office to send iron ore craftsmen, it is best to appoint two craftsmen who can refine copper and lead at the same time, Song General Office agreed, and the three of them broke up happily.

When he dreamed of returning to the Weisha River, he unexpectedly recruited 180 Jianghu martial arts master guards, and he and his guards were busy for more than a week before they were selected and hired, because among the nearly 1,000 recruits who came one after another, some kung fu people were too many! Dream had no choice, so he had to set up a makeshift martial arts ring behind the new store, and all the masters who could defeat three people were hired immediately, and two days later they had to be hired to defeat five people, or there would be a lot more.

In fact, there are three main reasons for this result: First, at that time, there were basically no wealthy businesses that could hire a large number of guards and various clerks at one time, and a large number of big-character poster advertisements were advertised everywhere in front of the shops for recruitment, and the duties and benefits were also clearly written, such conditions and treatment were not available in the local area before, and they had never seen anything new.

Therefore, there is a spread of ten, ten to hundred, the spread of the streets and alleys in Jilin Province, passers-by know, family knows, come to the applicants one after another, endlessly, in front of the dream of the new shop formed a huge wave of people, the head of them are all busy.

The second reason is: at that time, the people all over the country lived increasingly heavy and difficult, and the pressure of life was extremely great, and in some places there were various disasters and famines for many years, so they had to go to other places to survive and survive; At that time, the best place to go was the Northeast region of the Great Kanto, where there were endless sleeping fertile fields, rich in mountains and forests, wild fruits and wild food, summer and autumn food had to live all year round, the Northeast land was fertile for thousands of miles, there was no land, and countless people fled from the wilderness, and began to flock to the vast and boundless Northeast region, and to survive in the most fertile and fertile land in that year.

At that time, the Qing court also began to ask the government offices in the northeast to accept refugees and reclaim land. In the tenth year of Shunzhi, the "Regulations on Recruiting People to Cultivate Land in Eastern Liaodong" was also promulgated to encourage the people in Guannei to go to the northeast to cultivate wasteland. Monthly rations, seeds and livestock were given to the recruited immigrants. At the same time, local political institutions were set up to manage immigration, and the provincial capital of Jilin became a large city with more and more immigrants.

In the seventh year of Kangxi, the Qing court regarded the northeast as the "land of dragon prosperity", and was worried that a large number of people in the Guannai would harm the interests of the local Manchu bannermen, so they abolished the Kanto reclamation order and implemented the policy of banning the northeast. However, despite this, it cannot completely prohibit the people in the customs from entering the Greater Northeast region.

For a time, more and more peasants from Shandong, Hebei, and Henan smuggled into Liaodong or crossed the Great Wall to Liaodong privately. By the 41st year of Qianlong, more than 1.8 million immigrants from the Guannei had poured into the northeast. At that time, these people were still under the conditions of the Qing Dynasty's implementation of the ban policy, and they were later called "Chuang Guandong", and they have always been called by the world.

Many years later, as the colonialists of the Sand Demon Kingdom began to invade the Great Northeast region, the Kwantung region under the jurisdiction of the Qing Dynasty fell into a frontier crisis. The Qing Dynasty was forced to change the policy of banning the land of Longxing in the northeast, and began to encourage immigrants to reclaim the land on the border, so as to enrich and consolidate the border defense of Jilin and other northeast frontiers. However, the scope of forbidden land opened at that time was very limited, and the provincial capital of Jilin Province was one of them.

However, as soon as the ban was lifted, the matter of reclaiming migrants and accepting refugees was like a loose horse, and thousands of refugee farmers in the customs area flocked to the customs with their families and families. Whether it is a forbidden place or a forbidden area, a large number of refugees and immigrants have poured into it for a time, the scale is getting bigger and bigger, and the number is increasing, and the population entering the Northeast is as high as more than 14 million since the implementation of the immigration policy at the end of the Qing Dynasty.

With such a large number of people, in the years when there was a shortage of jobs to survive, it was a blessing that they dreamed of carrying out such a loud recruitment advertisement, and the number of applicants was conceivable, and they were not overwhelmed by the influx of people.

The third reason is: the Jilin provincial city at that time with a large number of people entered, but also introduced a very large number of old period of Jianghu martial arts sects in this place to develop and grow, there are Shandong people introduced mantis boxing, secret boxing, Mizu boxing, Hebei people introduced poke feet, flip boxing, Yanqing boxing; In addition, there are more than 30 kinds of old boxing such as Changquan, Nanshan boxing, Bagua, etc., and there are nearly 40 kinds of equipment, all kinds of things, there are about 20 kinds of practice methods, which are not at all what modern people can imagine and understand, and now many have disappeared because of policy reasons.

At that time, the mountains and forests in the northeast were dense, and there were many wild beasts, and there were disasters from time to time, in order to protect themselves, more than half of the men were men, so the bandits and thieves could steal more, and they did not want to enter the rivers and lakes, and the warriors were distributed in all walks of life. There are also some young martial artists in the later period, at that time, they just took the practice of martial arts as a kind of amateur play when they were fine, and there were many people who practiced and strengthened their bodies, and after slowly learning and practicing, they could be stronger and stronger, and it was easy to make a living to support themselves, and the number of people who learned martial arts practiced martial arts was passed on day by day; After these people learned it, some of them worked as stalls and just wanted to make ends meet, some took care of the homes of the rich, some served as caravans to escort long journeys, and the poor ones were mostly forced laborers to transport goods, and those with bad hearts became bandits.

And those who are strong, open a martial arts hall to set up a boxing room to teach the apprentices, or create a dart bureau to attract customers with martial arts, and use a skill to support their families. At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the late Qing Dynasty, there were nearly 20 dart bureaus and more than 20 large and small martial arts halls in Jilin Province; At that time, there were more than 30 dart bureaus in Fengtian Province, such as the famous Fengtian Zhenyuan, Yingkou Yongfa and Desheng, Jinchuan's Sansheng, etc., and there were more than 20 Wutang boxing studios teaching various martial arts in Dalian Bay, Andong County and other small places that were only county seats (Fengtian Province is now Liaoning, Jinchuan is now Jinzhou; Andong now Dandong).

From the above, it can be seen that the year in which the dream began was a period when the style of martial arts practice of the Han people in the Northeast was very prevalent......
