After the competition, Zhu Houzhao's brothers, Lao Li, and Bai Xiaode sat down in the lobby to talk, and the little girl played with Bai Yulian and Lao Li's grandchildren in the yard.

Zhu Houzhao and Zhu Houwei stared straight at Bai Xiaode with inquiring eyes at the same time, Bai Xiaode was very uncomfortable, so he said, "I don't know what the two highnesses want to ask me?" Zhu Houzhao hurriedly said, "How many people can Mr. Bai beat?" Bai Xiaode thought for a while and said, "It depends on who the enemy is, if it is a rough man who does not understand martial arts, he can face 7 or 8 enemies, if it is all people who practice martial arts, then it can only be 2 or 3." Zhu Houzhao listened with some regret. Zhu Houwei then continued, "Mr. Bai's martial arts are very superb, I have heard that this martial arts is also divided into inner and outer families, I don't know if Mr. Bai can explain it." ”

Bai Xiaode said with a smile, "Martial arts do have an inner family, an outer family, the inner family first practices the qi, the qi comes out of the dantian, as the saying goes, "practice a breath inside, practice the muscles and bones outside" is the qi of the dantian, pay attention to the cultivation of the lungs, internal organs, and then practice muscles and bones, from the inside out, to strengthen the body. The moves are all led by intention, followed by fists and feet, and more attention is paid to overcoming rigidity with softness, and the enemy is expected to be the first. I practice Wudang boxing, which belongs to the internal boxing. As for the outer boxing, that is to practice the outside first, such as the iron sand palm, that is, to practice the palm first, to practice the palm to the extreme, whether it is offensive or defensive, the main thing is to have a pair of palms. It's basically the same for foreign boxing, but I haven't practiced it, and I don't know it very well. “

When Zhu Houwei heard Wudang Boxing, he couldn't help but feel energetic, and said excitedly, "Mr. Bai, can you tell me about the origin of this Wudang Boxing?" Bai Xiaode looked at Zhu Houwei with a smile and asked, "I don't know if Your Royal Highness has ever heard of Zhang Zhenren of Wudang Mountain." Zhu Houwei immediately replied, "Is it Zhang Sanfeng, Zhang Junbao?" ”

Bai Xiaode said with reverence on his face, "It is him, now it is only 50 years since Zhang Zhenren's death, Zhang Zhenren was born in the seventh year of Song Lizong Chunyou (1247), died in the second year of Yingzong Tianshun (1458), and experienced the three dynasties of the Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties in his life, at the age of 212. Xianzong was specially titled "Taoguang Shangzhi True Immortal"; The Wudang boxing I practiced, the full name is "Wudang Mountain Taiyi Five Elements Boxing", which was created by Zhang Zhenren, and then slowly passed to my master, and then passed on to me. ”

The Zhu Houwei brothers feel like they are listening to mythological stories, and it is unbelievable that they have lived for more than 200 years alone. But looking at Bai Xiaode's appearance, he doesn't want to be joking, and there is a number from the emperor, so you can check it in the palace.

Zhu Houwei thought about it, stood up, bowed to Bai Xiaode, and said, "Mr. Bai, we brothers want to worship you as a teacher." Zhu Houzhao was stunned when he heard this, but he still stood up with Zhu Houwei to salute.

Bai Xiaode was a little embarrassed, after all, these two are not ordinary people, they are today's princes, and their status is respected. Still thinking about it, Zhu Houwei continued, "I hope that Mr. Bai will not think that the two of us are dull, and promise us." As he spoke, he looked at Bai Xiaode expectantly.

The words were said like this, Bai Xiaode had no choice but to say, "The two of you are exempt from courtesy, then I will be cheeky, but I don't need any apprenticeship, and the title doesn't need to change, just like usual." They both replied, "Yes," and that was the end of the matter.

Martial arts will be taught from tomorrow, and on the way back, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but ask Zhu Houwei, "Why did you suddenly think of apprenticeship today?" Zhu Houzhao replied with a smile, "Neijiaquan is used to strengthen the body, and Yiduo does not press the body, of course I practice martial arts, are you?"

Zhu Houzhao said with some doubts: "What's wrong with me?" "You can often discuss martial arts with Senior Sister." Zhu Houzhao was first overjoyed when he heard this, and then said a little embarrassedly, "It's the same with Mr. Bai." Zhu Houwei glanced at him with a smile and said, "I think so too." ”

Since then, the two brothers have lived a more fulfilling life, studying in the morning and practicing martial arts and managing Zhuangtian in the afternoon. Zhu Houzhao has found many opportunities to seek advice from the senior sister, although the success rate is not very high, but there is still progress, at least each conversation has changed from the original 1 sentence to the current 3 or 4 sentences.

A lot of cement has been fired, but it has not yet been put into use, and now it is packed in sacks and placed in the village. Zhu Houwei already had an idea of how to use the first batch of cement. The distance from Xiaolizhuang to the capital is almost 20 miles, but from the current map, the straight-line distance is only about 7 kilometers, so Zhu Houwei asked the craftsmen to start building the road. Once the road is repaired, it will be much more convenient for both the production from the village to be transported out and the materials from outside the village to be transported in. Another point is that the two brothers Zhu Houzhao have to come to Huangzhuang every day, but it takes more than 1 hour to make a single trip on the road, and the road is repaired, and it only takes more than half an hour to arrive.

In order to facilitate the rolling of the road, Zhu Houwei spent 1,000 taels in the Ministry of Industry to make a cylindrical iron pillar weighing 5,000 catties, the middle is hollow, insert a 30-centimeter iron rod, the length of the iron rod exceeds the cylinder, tie hemp rope at both ends, and ask 10 oxen to pull it. In this way, the roadbed is easy to be compacted, and then cement is laid on top, so that a cement road is completed.

2,000 people are involved in the construction of roads, 200 people are involved in making cement, and a second vertical kiln is also being built. The rest of the people just continued to build houses, farm and breed.

Two months later, all the houses at the foot of the mountain were completed, and the road was repaired to Andingmen, north of the capital. During this period of time, many people in the capital have gone to Andingmen to see the road repair, which is a road built with new materials, which has attracted the onlookers of the people. The people who have seen it are amazed, this road is very smooth and solid, compared with the current loess road, the stone road is many grades higher.

Some discerning businessmen fancy the value of cement and have inquired about the origin of cement. But as soon as they heard that it was the property of Huangzhuang, the fire that had just ignited in the hearts of these merchants was extinguished. There are also people who don't give up and ask Guan Zhuang how to sell this thing, but Gu Dayong replied to these people "not for sale for the time being". These people can't help it, they can't rob it, and it's impossible to win on the official side, as for the one who plays black, hehe, the gate of Jinyiwei's edict is open for you at any time.

At the beginning of road construction, the accumulated cement was quickly used up, and the production of a vertical kiln could not meet the needs of road construction, and the vertical kiln would have problems and need to be stopped for maintenance. It wasn't until the second vertical kiln was put into production that the cement output was sufficient. The road was repaired, and the production of cement did not stop.

The reconstruction of the village has also begun, this renovation is not only to tear down the house and rebuild, in Zhu Houwei's plan, Xiaolizhuang is the closest Huangzhuang to the capital, so there must be not only residential areas here, but also commercial areas to meet the purchase and sale of Huangzhuang materials in the future.

The small Li Zhuang should be rebuilt earlier than the big Li Zhuang. This renovation is not a trivial matter, so Zhu Houwei deliberately went to the Ministry of Industry to find a few professionals, and after discussion, made a rigorous plan. First of all, the drainage facilities, this is the top priority, in order not to see the sea in Xiaolizhuang in the future, the amount of drainage facilities this time is quite large, and the drainage canal is dug 2 meters deep. All the original villagers of Xiaolizhuang temporarily lived in the extra houses at the foot of the mountain. At the foot of the mountain, there are 2,500 courtyards, forming a special village that surrounds the mountain.

The original cross street of Xiaolizhuang was designed as a tic-tac-toe street, which should be expanded a lot. This expansion is all to the north. Of course, it will take up a lot of land, but Zhu Houwei doesn't care, this Xiaolizhuang will become a commercial-oriented town in the future. Of course, Lao Li was distressed when he knew the plan, this year Toutian was the lifeblood of the villagers, and finally under Bai Xiaode's persuasion, he stopped complaining. There is still more than 1 month to harvest grain, so now all the original buildings in Xiaolizhuang have been demolished. The streets in the village are all paved with cement, and all three plots of land in the south of this tic-tac-toe have been turned into commercial areas, and the middle piece of land is very large, and the Guanzhuang Mansion will move here in the future. Guan Zhuang Mansion and a large vacant land will occupy the middle piece of land. The clearing will also be paved with cement and surrounded by a fence to be used as a threshing ground, where the villagers will gather for any major events in the future. The east and west blocks of Tic-tac-toe, and the middle one in the north are residential areas, and the east and west blocks in the north will build a large number of warehouses to store the products of the Huangzhuang and the purchased items.

The new Xiaolizhuang is 1,500 meters from east to west and 2,500 meters from north to south, which is larger than the town of this generation. The cement roads in the village are all 10 meters wide, and they can basically run four horse-drawn carriages at the same time. The reconstruction project is quite large, there are many materials to be purchased, the money of the Huangzhuang flows out of the river like a flowing water, because the number of people are tens of thousands, even if only 6,000 people are responsible for three meals a day, the food and silver money of the Huangzhuang have been used up, and now 500,000 taels are taken from the Zhu Mansion to carry it first. However, this money is at most supported until the end of the renovation of Xiaolizhuang.
