Chapter 13: The Lord of the Incense (I)
There's gold, there's buddy, it's people who work together
The original house became a stronghold in the city, and the new house was outside the city.
In the east of Yangzhou City, there was originally an abandoned manor overgrown with weeds, the area is very wide, most of the buildings are in disrepair, the wind and rain erosion, there are some orphans and beggars hidden inside, it was originally the home of Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong, and now I know that this is an official residence in the former Southern Dynasty, which was raided and exterminated, and there are many supernatural things in the future, which scared people away, so it was abandoned.
Therefore, some joints were opened, and it only cost twenty taels of gold to buy this ruined manor, which covered an area of three hundred acres.
The men worked together to enclose a two-person brick fence outside.
Inside, there are rows of small houses, each with a small yard, this is the home of the little brothers in the future, as for the main house, as well as the warehouse, as well as the forest garden, etc., all waiting for the future to be slowly improved.
Such a large area, even if it becomes the head of a thousand people in the future, it is enough to be used as a base, Zhang Xuanning is very satisfied, but what is even more satisfied is that the younger brothers cheered like thunder, this group of people born in vagabonds, day and night, this taste is different from others, and this family house is emotionally different from people.
"Are the brothers serious about practicing martial arts?" Zhang Xuanning looked at the main square and saw forty people, all practicing martial arts in the sun, meticulous and gradually lawful.
"Yes, when you go to the battlefield, you know the line of life and death, who doesn't work hard?" Gao Zhandao is already old, and his practice is useless, so he supervises them as a training leader.
Only when they know that martial arts are not only related to honor and disgrace, but also related to life and death, these teenagers will truly degenerate spiritually and advance by leaps and bounds with hard work.
Even Zhang Xuanning himself was also refined in the battle, originally when he was reincarnated, the remaining true qi of this body was scattered in the body and slowly dissipated, but at the moment of life and death, it was all condensed in one fell swoop, and these days, it was slowly refined, and it reached the level of a middle level.
Saying that, Zhang Xuanning thought about it and came with a book, these are the four books found in Ma Xiongyuan's residence that day, all of which are some third-rate martial arts, but it was also Ma Xiongyuan who wasted his scheming and spent a lot of money in order to revitalize Ma Jiaji, and it took more than ten years before and after to obtain them.
And Zhang Xuanning has not wasted all his time, this is the theory of robbery omnipotence, in the past half a month, Zhang Xuanning has also studied them one by one, and consulted many martial arts, even if he understands the joint, it is difficult to use it immediately, but Zhang Xuanning organized it, deleted some things, and connected some things, and turned it into a "primer volume" book, and then said: "This is my family's secret inheritance, brothers have built great achievements, or practice martial arts outstanding, I will really teach." ”
"Lord Incense is so generous. Gao Zhandao couldn't help but be moved and said, martial arts is the capital of this world, you can promote your status as soon as you have to, and you can be superior to others in the army and politics, so although the world's martial arts are widely spread, they are not available casually, most of them are taught within the family.
Although it is certainly contrary to the family motto to teach in this way, I don't care much about it for the sake of the brothers. Zhang Xuanning said flatly: "Gao Zhandao, there are no people over the age of fifteen among your subordinates you promoted, the others, the leaders of each group, and those who have made great contributions this time, all build a list, and I will teach some of them." ”
The reason why he didn't teach all of them was because he was well aware of the disadvantages of people, no matter how good things were, if they taught them directly, it would make people feel unexpected, but if they were cautious and partly taught, they would not only be able to cultivate hard, but they would also feel grateful.
The imprint of power was established little by little on this basis, and it took about two years to be completely finalized, which Zhang Xuanning of course knew very well.
"Yes, I'll tell my brothers to go. Of course, Gao Zhandao also knew his intentions, but what about this? The so-called relationship between superiors and subordinates is that there is affection and loyalty, but there is more difference in interests and strength, which is nothing more than a willingness to fight and a willingness to suffer, and they are tacitly acquiesced by each other.
"Master Xiang, Master Su asked you to go back to the city, saying that someone from the main hall is coming. At this moment, a servant came and told him that there was even an ox cart parked outside.
"Alright, I'll go at once. Zhang Xuanning said, and then got into the ox cart.
Although the ox cart is slow, but it is not far to the city, and he asked a few words on the way, but he couldn't get the point, Zhang Xuanning had to go to Sujialou to say, as soon as he arrived at Sujialou, he found that the atmosphere was a little wrong.
The atmosphere upstairs was very strict, and a guard embroidered with three bamboos motioned for the others to stop, then looked at Zhang Xuanning, and said, "You are Zhang Xuanning?"
What kind of person, even the guards are three bamboos? What about the same level as himself? Zhang Xuanning already had a few points in his heart, and he replied respectfully: "The subordinates are exactly." ”
"Follow me. Zhang Xuanning followed him upstairs, and in front of the door of the upstairs quiet hall, he motioned for him to stop, and he crossed the threshold and said respectfully to the people sitting in the hall: "Strategist, Zhang Xuanning has arrived." ”
"Call him in!"
"Yes!"
Zhang Xuanning just went in, the fragrance of tea was permeated, a middle-aged man was drinking tea, looking leisurely, seeing him come in, he said calmly: "Are you Zhang Xuanning? ”
"Ning'er, this is a military advisor, don't you want to see you?" Su Ye hurriedly said.
"Yes, Zhang Xuanning greeted the military master. Zhang Xuanning hurriedly knelt on the ground and knocked his head on the ground.
"Get up, don't be polite, the helper is very interested in you!" Shao Lingzhou said casually, Shao Lingzhou is nine bamboos, only under the helper, it is really under one person, above ten thousand.
In particular, it has a slender figure, a very tall figure, a delicate face with five long beards, and is in his forties.
"How dare my subordinates, it is my duty to do things for the help. Zhang Xuanning respectfully kowtowed again before he could get up.
"Well, that's a good point, if you join my gang, you must abide by the rules of my gang, and those who violate the gang rules will be punished according to the severity of the gang, understand?"
Zhang Xuanning lowered his head and replied again and again.
"However, the gang will also reward and promote meritorious ministers, you are so young, you are appointed as the master of incense, it is very special, but you are the righteous son of Brother Su, and you have made great contributions, and the leader of the gang has spoken, so this time I came to promote you to be the master of incense, and you are officially subordinate to the main hall. ”
"Yes, thank you to the military advisor, thank you to the helper for promoting the great grace!" Zhang Xuanning knelt on the ground again.
"Get up!"
Such an attitude still made Shao Lingzhou relatively satisfied, he paused, his eyes flashed, and said: "You work hard, you will have a future in the future." ”
"Yes, yes!" With a flash of light in front of him, Zhang Xuanning almost had the feeling of being seen through, in front of him, although he was silent, he felt the same feeling as facing a mountain - is this a first-class master, or is it close to the power of a first-class master?
However, he forcibly suppressed his internal strength and couldn't resist, and it had been a year since he arrived in this world, and he had already deeply understood this, if he showed the potential to be able to resist, the consequences would not be a good thing no matter what.
"Okay, put on the clothes of the incense master, and I won't pick up all the rewards that the helper has. Shao Lingzhou waved his hand and said, "Let me introduce you, this is my apprentice Mai Yunfei, you are all rising stars in the gang, so be more close." ”
"Yes, give Brother Mai a salute!" Zhang Xuanning stepped forward and bowed.
Mai Yunfei is the first apprentice of the military advisor Shao Lingzhou, and he is also the master of Zhengxiang, with four bamboos, he was born quite handsome and proud, but in his expression, he always had a little sense of arrogance and conceit, staring at Zhang Xuanning, and barely returned the salute.
