In view of the fact that the collection of disciples is a very important matter for each sect, Chu Yunxiu, Ma Qianliang and others all strongly requested that an auspicious day of the zodiac be chosen, Wen De did not believe it, but there was no need to disagree on such a small matter and show his difference.

So they agreed like a stream, Chu Yunxiu and they spent a long time discussing, and the date was finally settled.

It was sometime in mid-November.

When the day came, Winder's long-awaited acceptance of apprentices could be regarded as beginning.

The location is set in the villa, which has now been renamed "Sky Tower", but has not yet been officially listed.

It is nearly sixty miles away from Chang'an City, which is not very far, but it is not close. If you walk, it can take about half a day to a day, depending on the speed. Even if you take a carriage, you can't get there for an hour or two.

It's a little inconvenient to travel, but the place is big enough that there is room for Wende to play.

The villa is located at the foot of the mountain at the northern foot of the Qinling Mountains, the mountain is surrounded by water, and the surrounding area is not far away is the Feng River, the scenery is good, and more importantly, the area is large enough.

After more than two months of emergency renovation, many of the original rooms in the villa have been converted into dormitories of the same style as possible, with a maximum capacity of 120 people if the standard is four people per room.

There are also two canteens, two school fields, one of which has a shed to shelter from the snow and rain. There are several classrooms, as well as a number of buildings for Chu Yunxiu and other teachers to live, work, and deliberate.

Because he had never seen what other schools looked like, when building the sect, Wende directly used the modern school as a template to design.

Nowadays, in his opinion, there are still many unsatisfactory places that need to be rebuilt and rectified.

But it has already scared Ma Qianliang, Zhang Yu and others.

As mentioned earlier, it is a very expensive thing for a sect to train disciples in this era. The capital investment required is large, and the cycle of at least ten years is also long, and it is almost completely out of production before the disciple has no small success.

This kind of investment is that the big factions also need to be carefully considered.

So in the end, it became a generation of more than ten or twenty carefully cultivated disciples, plus dozens of nearly a hundred extensive education of outer disciples, such a model.

However, it should be noted that the number of more than 100 outer disciples is the total number of disciples received in one generation. Generally, a cycle of fifteen to twenty years is divided into three to five batches, adding up the total number received.

Like Wende, who set the number at more than fifty from the beginning - it depends on the number of applicants and the qualifications of the students - which made Ma Qianliang a little difficult to accept.

In private, he didn't persuade Wende, but he was vaguely laughed at, and he didn't change his mind.

Although this approach is very stressful for funding, considering Winde's own needs: data collection for martial arts, in the beginning, the diversity of the sample must be ensured.

Otherwise, if you invest a lot of time and energy into it, but you will end up in a dead end, wouldn't it be even worse?

So for this, Wende even changed his original intention and created a batch of gems and gold and silver, using the master's inheritance as a pretext to expand the starting capital.

…………

Winder's ambitions are quite ambitious, but it depends on which way things go.

On the day of the apprenticeship test, he was a little apprehensive for the first time.

Although things had been planned in advance, it suddenly occurred to me last night that if no one signed up or there were very few people who signed up, it would be very fucking embarrassing......

As a result, early in the morning, he couldn't sit still.

Even if you know that this place is not close to Chang'an, even if the news has already been released, several bulletin boards in Chang'an have posted notices, and you can also negotiate a deal with a car dealer - you can go to the Chu Mansion to sign up, with a maximum of three people in a family, and if you get enough for two or three, you will send it by horse-drawn carriage———— it will be almost noon when you get here, and there will be no one at the moment.

Winder was still a little uncomfortable and wanted to know the latest situation.

As a result, before he had just walked two steps out, Lu Fang and Fan Xin, who was in Chu Yunhe's old department, strode over. Before the person arrived, he shouted loudly: "Brother Wen, hurry up!" Someone has already come to the door! ”

"Huh? So early?! Winder was taken aback, and subconsciously looked at the sky, it was only early seven o'clock, and in November, the sky was not fully bright...... Secretly a little happy, but on the bright side, he was silent, "Hasn't the itinerary been negotiated a long time ago?" It's good to follow the process, you don't have to come here......"

"There are enough people who have signed up in front of us, and there are still a lot! The registered steward couldn't decide whether to start now, so he asked me to come and call you! Lu Fang complained a little dissatisfied: "You are leisurely here, have you taken today's major events to heart?!" ”

Wende snorted, and when he heard that there were more registrations than one batch, he didn't dare to be careless, so he hurriedly went to check with Lu Fang.

On the way, I asked Lu Fang by the way, but I learned that he couldn't sleep and got up at five o'clock, and couldn't help laughing: "Brother Lu, your ability to cultivate qi is not hot enough." ”

Lu Fang couldn't help but reply hatefully: "I shouldn't have come to you!" ”

Laughing aside, when he arrived at the door of the villa and saw the scene clearly, Winder was also a little surprised. There is a large group of people in front of the villa, and there are more than 100 people at the look, although most of them are adults, but there are nearly 30 families converted by family.

There were so many people coming at this point, Wende couldn't help but ask the concierge carefully in surprise, but he learned that the earliest family didn't even arrive at six o'clock.

Originally, they were just waiting in front of the door, but after waiting for more and more people, the discussion and cold noise still alarmed the people in the villa, and the steward in charge of registration came forward to inspect, but the people outside the door who came and went were a little still.

"There are so many people at this time?!"

Such a movement outside naturally did not only alarm Wen De, Chu Yunxiu and Ma Qianliang learned about it together, and hurried over.

Seeing the sight at the door made them a little surprised, but more excited—after all, they were all young people, and they didn't know what was going on until then.

Ma Qianliang asked out loud, and the steward who was originally from Baiyi Villa replied: "The old servant also thinks it is strange, and he asked it before. But I learned that most of them were rich families in the city, and when I learned the news that the young lady had taken in apprentices, I was worried that it would be too late and the quota was full, so I left yesterday and stayed in Fengde Town in front of me for a night, and I could arrive early this morning. ”

In other words, at present, these people have a good family background, have or can afford to rent transportation, and do not have to rely on the carriage arranged by Wende, so they unexpectedly appeared here early in the morning!
