54. Be thoughtful in everything
Listening to Gao Xu and Qian Erye's guest on the Tao Pavilion had a very happy conversation, the former spoke indifferently and elegantly, and the latter spoke boldly and uninhibitedly, although the personalities of the two are far apart, but they faintly give people a sense of familiarity at first sight.
However, at this moment, there are only Qian Erye and this Gao Xu within a radius of 100 steps with Tingtao Pavilion as the center, and the people who originally swept and took care of the tea garden here were all retreated, except for the sound of conversation in the pavilion and the hearty laughter that came out from time to time, there was only the sound of pine waves in this vicinity.
In addition to the entire mountain, the nearby land is also mostly Songfeng Mountain industry, and the entire village is full of tenants. However, he didn't really value the income from the land rent, after all, it was the pawnshop tickets in the city that could really provide financial support for a sect, and the poor peasant households only paid a drop in the bucket.
The second-rate sects in a state are waiting for hundreds of mouths to eat, if they only care about the scenery on the table, how long can they last? Therefore, if there are some years of seniority in the rivers and lakes, if the heads of the past generations are flexible, the first thing they will do is to think about how to expand their own industries, so that their disciples and grandchildren can enjoy their successes.
There are also some young people who take over the mental positions with good talents, and with a lot of enthusiasm, they lead the sect up and down to do chivalrous righteousness in the rivers and lakes, but they don't know that the little blessing left by the predecessors who planted trees and the descendants who took advantage of the shade was squandered, and there are quite a few examples of a good sect that have collapsed, and the forces that survived and stayed behind were not as good as before.
In addition to adding industries, the most important thing to see is the attitude towards the surrounding large and small sects, and for those who are inferior to the forces, give a sweet date. Who to hit, how to fight, when to hit, how hard to fight, how to give sweet dates? And so on.
However, the harder part is yet to come, and for those who are close to or beyond one end, the posture of friendship is extremely crucial, and....
Being a master in the rivers and lakes is not easier than governing the government affairs of a state and a county.
It's just that Wei Changpan is commemorating these this year, and there is some suspicion of encouraging the seedlings. The young man who came out of Qingshan Town was following a disciple from the outer mountains who was responsible for entertaining guests in Songfeng Mountain at this time, and the mountain roads were all paved with bluestone, and the original rough and uneven stone surface was blown by the wind and rain and people came and went, and it became smooth at this time, which shows that this Songfeng Mountain has been inherited for a long time.
The female disciples of Songfeng Mountain have never done this kind of errand, most of them are male disciples who have just started, and they are not very old. The population of the inner and outer mountains of Songfeng Mountain adds up to several thousand, and they can't all be registered disciples, except for the miscellaneous servants, many of them are destined to go short of the martial arts, and after serving as a disciple of the outer mountains for a while, they have to go down the mountain to run the industries under the mountain of Songfeng Mountain, and many of them have also lived a rich life.
Among the hospitality disciples, the one who led Wei Changpan around the mountain is also a leader, although he has only been getting started for many years, but he is deeply trusted by the steward of the outer mountains of Songfeng Mountain with his mouth and clever mind, and he is also not leaking in dealing with people, so he has become more and more important.
Li Zhouzhi was walking a few steps briskly in front of the distinguished guest of Songfeng Mountain at this moment, pointing ahead:
"Guests, please see, this is our Songfeng Mountain's "phoenix comb wings", even if you look at the whole territory of Jiangzhou, such a vivid stone forest landscape is also one of the best. He said this with a rather proud tone as he watched the guest's reaction.
Li Zhouzhi, who has already achieved the position of the head, does not need to come to entertain guests in person, but only needs to supervise the flaws in the words and deeds of his disciples who are hospitality. It's just that this time, the steward who is fully responsible for the affairs of the outer mountains came in person, and named him Li Zhoudao, saying that there was a distinguished guest from the mountain, and he had to ask for someone who could speak. In addition, the steward also revealed a piece of news that stunned him, saying that it was a group of two distinguished guests, and the one with a higher status had been personally received by the mountain lord in Tingtao Pavilion!
Li Zhouzhi, who heard the steward's words, was extremely uneasy, the steward was close to him, and he was quite optimistic about this clever junior, otherwise he would not have given him such a great opportunity.
This steward of the outer mountain who he had to call his cousin uncle in private made it clear, if this matter was done beautifully, he, a disciple who could only stumble in the outer mountains due to his limited qualifications, would very likely enter the eyes of the mountain master, and when the time came, he would say a few good words from the outer mountain steward who still had a little weight in speaking, and it would not be an exaggeration to become a disciple of the inner mountain overnight.
The inner mountain and the outer mountain, the difference between one word and the world of difference. All the disciples of the outer mountain martial arts cultivation is no more than three floors, and what they have learned is only a superficial exercise, in the final analysis, it is only slightly higher than the status of the subordinates, and only when they really enter the inner gate can they be qualified to say that they are disciples of Songfeng Mountain, otherwise they must add a prefix of "outer mountain" in front.
It's just these two words that cut off the dreams of many young people for martial arts. The resources of a Jianghu sect are limited, and it is not that there are no disciples of the sect with mediocre qualifications, but the limited manpower and material resources are only significant in those with better talents, otherwise which sect is willing to spend money and heavenly treasures on an ordinary disciple?
Poor scholars, rich martial arts.
Li Zhouzhi, who realized that such an errand of opportunities and risks coexisted, did not flinch, he was already twenty-three, and in two years, he would have to go down the mountain to run the Songfeng Mountain industry in the market, and he might have to spend his life under the mountain.... Marry the daughter of an ordinary people's family, give birth to a few children, devote a lifetime of effort in these industries, lie on a bamboo bed and shake a pu fan, and tell the grandchildren around him that grandpa was also a disciple of one of the top two Jianghu sects in Jiangzhou....
This is not the life he wants!
He had to hold on to this opportunity.
It's just that the distinguished guest in the mouth of the steward of the outer mountain is unexpectedly young, and his face is just a child, and his clothes are not luxurious, and he is slightly inferior to Li Zhouzhi's dress.
But these can not make him despise, along the way he took great pains to answer those strange questions to the young guest, "how did that stone come from", "are the pine trees on Songfeng Mountain planted by you", "What is the allusion to the inscription on the gate of Songfeng Mountain", some tricky Rao is clever and thoughtful, and he also thought about it for a while before he came up with it.
It's been a long time since I've seen such a serious guest, and he is full of emotion in his heart, those guests who asked him to come forward in the past are all above the top, far less comfortable than the one in front of him.
Li Zhouzhi Li Zhou, naturally everything is thoughtful.
