Chapter 436: Lively rivers and lakes
"Ah Hu, you're really not polite at all!"
In the main hall of the backyard of the Marquis Wu's Mansion in Qiantang, the old man is smiling and opening.
He also met with the high-level leaders of the Yin Kwai faction, and enjoyed the praise of the top leaders of the Yin Kwai faction, whether overt or secret, and his mood in the past few days was extremely happy.
It's just that he didn't expect that his own apprentice would be so unkind, and he had just reached a cooperation with the Yin Kwai faction, so he couldn't wait to make an extremely bold request.
It is crazy to ask for hundreds of female gentlemen from the Yin Kui faction in one go.
The Yin Kui faction has always had a tradition of recruiting female disciples with outstanding qualifications, and after careful training, they either entered the family gate mansion as a concubine, or found a way to become the wife of a dignitary, or infiltrated the palace to struggle.
This is the foundation of the Yin Kui faction, and it can always participate in the top circles of the dynasty, participate in the game disputes that affect the world, or implicitly interfere in the situation in the rivers and lakes, and become the well-deserved number one force of the Holy Gate.
Lei Hu's move is a bit of a corner of the wall, and it is no wonder that the high-level officials of the Yin Kwai faction are suspicious and want to explore Lei Hu's mind through the old way of purity.
"The master also knows that there are many girls in the south under the rule of the apprentices, and the number of girls is not a few!"
Lei Hu explained with a wry smile: "There are many families in the world who prefer sons over daughters, and are unwilling to spend energy and resources to raise girls, and there are many outcasts!" ”
This is the reality, because of the frequent wars, the population of the south has always been low.
In addition, the ancient people attached great importance to the inheritance of blood, and although the patriarchal style was not as amazing as in the Ming and Qing dynasties, it was also a rather alarming social problem.
It is Lei Hu's efforts to govern the place, so that the people under his rule can eat enough, but there are still many families who are unwilling to spend energy and resources to raise girls.
That is to say, under the rule of Lei Hu, the law is strict, but no matter what the relationship between father and son or father and daughter, once a person kills a person, it is a serious crime, not to mention that killing the head immediately is also the life of a labor prisoner.
This has barely stopped the bad habit of killing young girls, but there are still many examples of abandoning young girls, and even half-grown girls.
Lei Hu naturally did not turn a blind eye to this, but ordered the garrisons everywhere to do their best to take them in, and he did not want the accidental death of abandoned girls under his rule, or the tragedy of starvation to death.
Even later, he simply explained to the people directly through the garrisons in various places, as well as the local elders, that if he didn't want to raise his daughter, he could hand it over to the garrison, but in the future, he didn't expect these abandoned girls to recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors, which can be regarded as a direct severance of relations.
In the past two years, the number of girls taken in by the garrisons has reached nearly 10,000!
In order to raise these abandoned girls, the Hou Mansion not only hired many women who had no children to take care of them, but even set up dozens of small cattle and sheep farms, and specially invited low-level talents from the Holy Gate who had studied the peasant classics to provide fresh cow and sheep milk sources for girls, boy scouts and boy soldiers.
It's just that it's obviously not enough to take care of it, Lei Hu has no difference between men and women in his heart, he is deeply influenced by modern concepts, and knows that women's energy cannot be underestimated, and there are many talented people, once cultivated properly, not only will the ability not be inferior to men, but the performance is even much stronger than men.
And in this world where the aura of heaven and earth is strong, the strength of an adult woman should not be underestimated, as long as she is regularly exercised, it is not a problem to lift a hundred and eighty pounds of heavy objects to run like flying, and she can also be regarded as a qualified labor force in the eyes of Lei Hu.
Also, in modern times, isn't there a study that the quality of the mother determines the upper limit of the child's quality?
Lei Hu is interested in improving the overall quality of the people under his rule, not only in terms of physical fitness, but also in terms of cultural accomplishment and conduct.
In this regard, there is a serious shortage of qualified female gentlemen in the territory.
In the current era, it is not easy for a woman from a big family to read and write, and if she is not a descendant of the clan or a wealthy family, the average side or branch lady may not have the opportunity to receive cultural education.
It can be said that Lei Hu wants to get enough female gentlemen, even if he asks for help from the family, it is useless.
Only the Imperial Palace has the ability and resources to meet his requirements.
But not to mention how wary Emperor Yang Jian was of Sui Emperor against him, it was impossible for the carefully cultivated female officials in the palace to come to the south to help Lei Hu teach his children.
At this time, the importance of the Yin Kwai faction was highlighted.
Because the Yin Kwai faction is a woman-headed family, and has a tradition of infiltrating the wealthy and the palace, there is a complete and orderly training system for elite female disciples.
Not to mention, if you want to complete an elite female disciple, the amount of teachers required is extremely staggering, and most of the teachers have to be women.
This gives Lei Hu the opportunity to dig into the corner, he doesn't need those female gentlemen who cultivate elite female disciples, he only needs women who have read books and can read and write, as for the books that teach the girls under his rule, Lei Hu can compile them by himself, and it is not a problem at all with his insight and knowledge reserves.
In addition, he also plans to cooperate with the Yin Kwai faction to establish a training base for qualified female gentlemen, so that he can continue to cultivate and provide qualified female gentlemen, so as to prepare for the further improvement of the territory in the future.
In other words, only a powerful force like the Yin Kwai faction, which has been inherited for thousands of years, has such a foundation, and if it is really necessary to transform the foundation into strength, not to mention unifying the world, at least it is not a problem to dominate one side at all.
It is a pity that the Holy Gate was still actively involved in the changes in the world during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and it can be regarded as a very obvious political force.
But now, as the demon concubine Zhang Lihua led some of the elites of the Yin Kui faction to retreat, the Yin Kui faction at this time has slowly evolved into a Jianghu sect, and it is more active in the disputes between the rivers and lakes than the court battles, so it will inevitably fall behind.
Moreover, many of the hundreds of classics in the hands of the Holy Gate were gradually ignored and slowly put on the shelf, which was definitely a serious waste in Lei Hu's eyes.
Naturally, Lei Hu will not talk about these, otherwise outsiders will think that he is 'ambitious' and wants to dominate the world.
He just carefully told the master Qingxu Lao Dao about the reason why he needed a large number of female gentlemen, and finally said helplessly: "There is really no way, I can only ask the Yin Kui faction for help!" ”
In fact, there are still other forces in this world that can provide enough female gentlemen.
It is nothing more than that Buddhism and Qinglou, Buddhism is needless to say, but all nuns who are serious about practicing Buddhism will be literate and literate, as for the Qinglou to understand better, there is also a set of methods to train women, and naturally there are few female gentlemen who are literate and literate.
It's just a pity that these two Lei Hu don't want to contact at all, and in his eyes, both of them are scourges.
Qingxu Lao Dao suddenly sighed: "I don't want to govern the place is so troublesome, the master should be down in this matter, and he will definitely help you to help you with the Yin Kui faction!" ”
"Then there is Master Lao!"
Lei Hu said with a smile, easily changed the topic and asked curiously: "Master, what has happened on the rivers and lakes recently, and I don't know what happened to the Zhu sect master and Shi Zhixuan, and they have actually made such a fuss!" ”
"Ah Hu, don't inquire about these things!"
Qingxu old Taoist is old and refined, so he naturally knows that Zhu Yuyan is hated because of love, so he doesn't want Lei Hu to ask too much, and he will cooperate with Zhu Yuyan, there is no need to be too clear.
He didn't know that Shi Zhixuan broke Zhu Yuyan's Heavenly Demon Great, Law, and would be stuck at the peak of the seventeenth layer in the future, and the emotional deception and the future of the martial arts were abolished, so it was strange that Zhu Yuyan didn't go crazy.
Lei Hu naturally said that he was not interested in the gossip of others.
It's just that in the past two years, I have been nesting in the territory and farming, and it is inevitable that I will pay less attention to external affairs, and I don't know what the rivers and lakes are like at this time?
According to the timeline of the Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty, it seems that the masters of the three major grandmasters should have begun to become famous and even powerful.
Qingxu Lao Dao knows much more about what is happening in the rivers and lakes than Lei Huke.
What he does on weekdays is his free time, in addition to cultivating the master's master, he is to find out what is happening in the rivers and lakes.
Seeing that Lei Hu intended to inquire about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, he was quite proud in his heart, and said with a smile: "Ah Hu, you are busy with official business on weekdays, and naturally you have little understanding of the affairs in the rivers and lakes, but you don't know that the rivers and lakes in the past two years have been very lively!" ”
"Oh, is there something big going on in the rivers and lakes?"
Lei Hu is really interested, the world is extremely strong, Datang has a broken level of super powerhouses before and after, it can be said that one person is not a town and one country, the boundary between the rivers and lakes and the court is very blurred, it can be said that you have me and I have you, the rivers and lakes are closely related to the court.
Many major events that happened on the rivers and lakes could eventually affect the battles and the development of the pattern of the court, and if you want to make a difference in the Central Plains of this world, you must spend a certain amount of effort to understand the latest developments in the rivers and lakes.
"Big things didn't happen!"
Qingxu Lao Dao said with a smile: "But there are several amazing top masters on the rivers and lakes, and they are invincible as soon as they are born, and their momentum is not weaker than that of the older generation of masters!" ”
"Who are the masters?"
Lei Hu became interested and asked curiously: "How are they compared to Song Que and Shi Zhixuan?" ”
"I don't know the strength of the strength, but the momentum is not bad at all!"
Qingxu Lao Dao introduced: "Among them, there is Wang Tong of Dongping Mansion, who is a Confucian swordsman with superb swordsmanship; There is also Ouyang Xiyi of Huangshan, and the 'sand sinking swordsmanship' is also very exquisite, which can be called a first-class master on the rivers and lakes! ”
"Of course, their momentum is much worse than Daomen Ning Daoqi, the Turkic master Bi Xuan, and the Goguryeo sword master Cailin!"
Speaking of this, Qingxu Lao Dao sighed and sighed: "Whether it is Wang Tong, Ouyang Xiyi, or the other three, they have already become famous, but they have been the most popular in the past two years, not only did they not let the junior masters like Song Que and Shi Zhixuan surpass them, but even faintly suppressed them!" ”
Lei Hu smiled: "I just don't know, they really want to fight, who wins and who loses!" ”
