The sun is just right.

Chishan raised his horse's head high, snorted and blew out hot air. His streamlined muscles were beating, and his short blood-red hair was glowing with silver.

Liang Qu kicked off his pedals, turned over and dismounted, and asked the two waiters at the door to go in and report.

Just crossed the threshold.

The news seemed to have wings and flew throughout the martial arts gym.

The apprentices in the second martial arts training ground of the martial arts hall had no intention of resting, and they were pouring out like a tide.

The medicine-receiving team was ready to move, all wanting to step forward to meet the legend of the martial arts school.

Several apprentices put it into practice and stepped out, and immediately someone took advantage of the chaos and inserted holes in it.

There was some unhappiness in the team, and the quarrels became louder and louder.

The cook in the kitchen kept banging the bucket with an iron spoon, shouting loudly to ask anyone who jumped in line to go to the back.

The poor boy sitting in the flower bed was closest to the door and grabbed the seat immediately.

Amid the crowds of people, I saw a tall young man heading towards the martial arts arena. He had a dignified appearance, a tall figure, and two waist badges hanging from his waist. His head was held high and he was full of vigor. In terms of appearance alone, he was better than the senior brothers who taught him every day!

Is that Senior Brother Liang?

His eyes are like torches, and his hands lead a red horse.

The strong man's momentum is coming.

Perfectly fits the fantasy in your heart.

The legendary Senior Brother Liang, what a man!

Excited heart, trembling hands.

When someone approaches, the apprentice's face turns red and he says hello nervously.

"Senior Brother Liang!"

"Good morning, Senior Brother Liang!"

"Hello, Senior Brother Liang!"

"Well, morning! Good!"

Liang Qu walked through the corridor and nodded in response, but when he saw the apprentices coming from behind him, he was puzzled for a moment.

Is everyone so enthusiastic?

When you're not going out, there are a lot of people coming to the martial arts studio, right?

"What are we all doing together? The hair grows in spring, and the plan is in the morning. How many times have we stood on the pile today and how many times have we punched?

Zhou Zhiyong, Zhang Xiaoming! You two were a quarter of an hour late in the morning and didn’t take the time to practice, so you wasted your time here? You two spent money to come in, first of all you should be worthy of yourselves!

And Song Yifei, Yu Faxian, you two are all from the second courtyard, why are you coming to the front yard to join in the fun?"

The sound cut into the commotion.

Hu Qi kept a straight face and scolded him one by one.

He waved to Changsong and told the people in front to go back quickly.

"Have you heard what Brother Hu said? Go back to stand and practice. The year is in the spring and the day is in the morning. You will be full of energy in the morning. Don't delay the good time.

If you pass the test today, practice your skills well, and join the Hebo Station tomorrow, maybe I can be assigned to work under your Senior Brother Liang!"

"The two senior brothers are right, everyone should go back and practice martial arts quickly."

Liang Qu responded a few times.

Chen Jiechang and Li Libo came from the Second Hospital to help evacuate the crowd.

The apprentices who were joining in the fun dispersed, and order in the martial arts arena was restored.

Liang Qu said with a smile: "The museum is very lively today, there are more than a hundred people there, right? It's only a lot more than when I came a few days ago."

Hu Qi shook his head.

"Master is coming in the afternoon, so everyone here wants to show up and leave a good impression. Normally it's only 70 to 80%. Plus you came unexpectedly and everyone from the second hospital came out to join in the fun, so it seems like a lot."

Xiang Changsong smiled and said: "In our sect, Master Du and Junior Brother Liang are so popular, but Senior Brother Lu, Senior Brother Yu, and Senior Brother Xu are not that powerful."

"Me?" Liang Qu walked down the steps, turned around and dusted off the dust, "Am I that generous?"

Hu Qi and Xiang Changsong each took a step forward and dusted off the yellow dust.

The three brothers and sisters all sat on the steps of the corridor, with their shoulders in the shade of the trees, chatting.

Differences in light and shadow.

Xiang Changsong pointed at the apprentices standing in line.

"I'm an apprentice from Yixing Town. There are several big towns next to Pingyang Prefecture, and each town has its own martial arts school.

Duyixing Town has the most apprentices, but they don't go to the martial arts gym in their own town. They would rather walk more than ten miles every day and insist on coming to our school to learn.

When there are many apprentices from other places, they will form a group. There are many people in Yixing Town, so they form groups very well, so they are more conspicuous and have a louder voice than the people from other places.

Your story spread like this, and it spreads wider and wider, especially those from less wealthy families, who all use you as their target and role model!"

"ha?"

Liang Qu laughed.

From fisherman to Du Shuilang, many deeds are listed one by one, which are indeed amazing.

I never expected to hear what the two senior brothers wanted, but with the help of fellow villagers from Yixing Town who came to learn martial arts, they became a legend in the Yang Family Martial Arts School.

"Don't say it, the effect is good." Xiang Changsong patted Liang Qu on the shoulder and raised his thumb outward, "With your name, after Pingyang became a manor, there were not many people in the martial arts gym, but few others

Home... is far away, does Mr. Pang remember it?"

"I can't forget that his strong disciple is working under me."

"The number of apprentices on Master Pang's side has almost been cut in half."

Liang Qu was startled.

"Cut in half?"

"Well, everyone has more choices." Hu Qi added from the side, "After the establishment of the mansion, needless to say, there are eight newly opened martial arts schools in each town alone."

Xiang Changsong said: "Junior brother, why not take a guess, among the eight martial arts schools, how many of them have great martial arts masters?"

Liang Qu thought for a while.

"Three families?"

Open your fingers toward Changsong.

Liang Qu was shocked: "Five families! Why are there so many?"

"That's all! The five martial arts schools all have great martial arts masters in name, but most of them are not as powerful as our master. They belong to the middle or lower realms. Only one of them is equally matched. Like our master, they only come a few days a month."

Hu Qi added: "Master has changed the days of his instruction. He used to come at the end of every month, but now he comes once every ten days. I think it should be a response measure."

Liang Qu frowned: "Out of eight martial arts schools, five have great martial arts masters. Isn't the ratio too high?"

Is the competition in Fucheng so fierce?

Could it be that there are great martial arts masters in the family, and they all come out to open martial arts schools?

Xiang Changsong said: "Because their martial arts school is different from ours and Master Pang's. The outstanding apprentices in it can be selected, not as direct disciples, but to take up positions and work in the corresponding great martial arts master families."

wipe!

Assign work!

Liang Qu was shocked and immediately understood why his master's martial arts school was at a disadvantage in the competition, and the business of the surrounding martial arts schools was bleak.

"It's not a martial arts gym at all, it's clearly employee training."

From Pingyang Town to Pingyang County, and then to the current Pingyang Mansion, there have been two rounds of dragons crossing the river.

In fact, the two rounds were completely different.

In the first round, people from the Demon Hunting Department, the Three Laws Department, and the Hebo Institute were ordered to come. They were very powerful. They were all second generation. Their strength in both the light and dark sides was by no means weaker than in the second round, or even stronger.

But they came as individuals, not involved in industrial interests, and were fed by the imperial court.

On the contrary, in the second round, most families move and have to support a large family.

It will naturally lead to industrial invasion. In theory, the situation is more complicated than the first round, and it involves interests and is more aggressive!

This is directly reflected in the decrease in the number of apprentices in many local martial arts schools!

In order to expand the industrial chain of each family, it is impossible to rely solely on one's own family and must reasonably absorb outsiders.

Therefore, the essential purpose of a big family opening a martial arts gym is completely different from that of Yang Dongxiong who opens a martial arts gym to make a living.

It’s not about making money from martial arts schools.

This income is optional.

The key is to cultivate talents yourself and recruit them into your own family to ensure fresh blood and vitality!

Liang Qu asked: "Brother, are their tuition fees cheaper than ours?"

Hu Qi tilted his head: "Junior brother, how do you know?"

"Because their purpose is not to make money, but to recruit people... I guess the quality of their teaching is average?"

"I'm not sure. We can't go in and learn secretly, but Changsong and I noticed that it's very loose inside. I heard from others that only the old apprentices put on a show and let the others follow suit. They didn't care about how well they learned, and even got injured during the training.

Yes, unless you pay dozens of taels of silver, you will be able to help them one by one."

"You get what you pay for..."

As an alternative to a sect, martial arts schools have many advantages.

Facing the general public, increasing the base of martial artists at the bottom will make it difficult to form local forces and reduce the difficulty of centralization. At the same time, it can enjoy the benefits and absorb top talents from martial arts schools.

It's a pity that talents cannot be fully absorbed.

Especially those who have some talent but not enough talent.

Big families open their own martial arts schools precisely to absorb this group of talents, and thereby expand their influence and win over various groups.

As long as you are preliminarily screened, the remaining people will not care about you. If you follow the old apprentice and make mistakes, it is a sign of "not being smart".

However, this kind of filtered martial arts gym that "drunkards are not interested in drinking" will have a huge impact on the profitability of Yang Dongxiong who specializes in opening martial arts gyms.

After all, it's cheap, and it seems to have more prospects on the surface. As for the people who are injured during training...

Human nature is driven by profit, so no one will care about it, and more importantly, there is a sense of luck. No one will think that they or their children happen to be the ones who are eliminated without talent.

"Can't our martial arts school arrange duties?"

"Where can we arrange it? Master is not from a wealthy family. He has a lot of property. He opens a martial arts school on weekdays and does not do any business. He only has some connections with the Medicinal Materials Chamber of Commerce. Is it possible to stuff it all into the government?"

"This won't work."

Liang Qu was puzzled.

He knew how well the two senior brothers taught him.

Bad money drives out good money, this is the way of the world.

With Liang Qu's deeds as an example, martial arts schools can certainly survive for a while.

But my family members know their own affairs well and there is no possibility of copying them.

Over the next few years, no one succeeded in imitating it. As an untouchable castle in the air, its appeal naturally began to fade and reality began to be considered.

It is true that Master Yang is better than other martial arts masters, but his actual participation in teaching is very small, which cannot be regarded as a key part of the attraction of a martial arts gym.

Xiang Changsong and Hu Qi understand this.

a long time.

Liang Qu's eyes lit up.

"I have two ideas!"

Xiang Changsong asked: "What's your idea?"

"One is that we cooperate with Shanghu Academy and ask them to send two teachers so that the apprentices can learn pinyin literacy while resting!"

Xiang Changsong was puzzled: "Wouldn't it be expensive for us to hire an academy for teaching?"

"Tuition fees have also been increased. Needless to say, going to a college is not cheap, because you have to learn a lot of things, including writing articles, teaching calligraphy, and studying a subset of classics and history.

We only add one more item, charge two to three taels of silver, and only teach literacy and nothing else!

And there are large classes where one teacher teaches dozens of students. The teacher teaches himself and the students learn by themselves. There is no need to teach students in accordance with their aptitude and worry about who learns well or not.

As long as you work hard, you can learn a lot of words in three months. This is different from practicing martial arts. You may not be successful in martial arts, but literacy will last a lifetime!"

Hu Qi looked thoughtful to Changsong.

Unlike Liang Qu, many apprentices have the opportunity to go to academies and medical schools to study medicine as direct disciples, specifically to broaden their horizons and knowledge and develop in an all-round way.

When entering a martial arts gym, many people only learn boxing techniques.

Anyway, it’s step-by-step and you can do it as taught. You don’t need to understand any secret books or meridians. You will still be illiterate when you come out.

On the contrary, literacy is very useful, it is a real skill!

Hu Qi asked: "What about the second one?"

Liang Qu scratched his temples.

"Junior brother actually also has an industry, farming."

Xiang Changsong wondered: "Farming? How much does it cost to cultivate an acre of land? Many apprentices have farmers at home. If they really learn it and go back to farming, isn't learning in vain?"

"I am planting medicinal herbs, black-spotted frogs, golden-threaded leeches and rice together. But the scale is relatively small at the moment. I am still trying to plant them when the weather gets hot.

Once this year is over and the results are achieved, we will definitely expand. Then we may go to other counties to buy land.

The transportation, protection, distribution and guarding of large quantities of medicinal materials all require manpower. It would be good to recruit and employ people from Master.

I personally think that the two methods are two-pronged, and they teach literacy, learn to be successful, and have other development paths. In addition, with a great reputation, the advantages will definitely be much greater than those of nearby martial arts schools!"

Hu Qi said: "Junior brother, I have a question."

"Senior brother, please tell me."

"We can teach literacy, but other martial arts schools can copy it differently? Are there any advantages in making wedding clothes for others?"

"So we have to work with Lake Academy to do it together! Let the academy send teachers here, or not send teachers and just lend us their names.

Literacy can be learned in other martial arts schools, but Shanghu Academy in Pingyang Prefecture is the only one.

We want to focus on publicizing that we are teaching calligraphy in conjunction with the academy, and it feels different to ordinary apprentices outside."

Xiang Changsong and Hu Qi fell into deep thought.

Junior brother always has good ideas, the two of them know it.

If you say you can expand the industry, you can certainly expand it.

Xiang Changsong murmured: "It sounds good. Anyway, there won't be much whereabouts in the next one or two years. The development of junior brother's medicine field will take time..."

Hu Qi asked again: "What if other martial arts schools also borrow the name of the academy?"

The two senior brothers have a lot of problems...

Liang Qu spread his hands.

"I didn't think about it. Mr. Zhao and Master are friends, so it would be easier to negotiate with someone from outside.

Either we agree to use it exclusively for a few years and pay a large sum of money every year, or there is some other way to let the academy follow the profits.

In short, after stabilizing the first few years, Pingyang Mansion has developed almost, and the basic impression has been set. Later, when the junior brothers' industry is fully developed, they will not be afraid of those outsiders, everyone is the same."

Xiang Changsong and Hu Qi looked at each other.

"It's better to choose a day than to hit it. Let's go find the master and talk about it!"

"Okay, I'm just going to find Master to practice martial arts."

Liang Qu stood up and patted the dust on his clothes.

"Oh, yes, I haven't asked my junior brother yet, why did you come to the martial arts gym today?"

"Ha." Liang Qu slapped his forehead, "I almost forgot that my junior brother discovered a treasure under the water, and in about a day's time, a strange phenomenon in the world will appear.

I came here specifically to ask the two senior brothers to prepare in advance, take care of things, and go over together to join in the fun."

Hu Qi, Xiang Changsong: "?"

…

In the hall.

Hu Qi drank tea silently to Changsong and listened to Liang Qu's plan.

"It's a good idea."

Yang Dongxiong stroked his beard and was quite interested in Liang Qu's ideas.

Liang Channel: “In three months, we only taught Pinyin during martial arts breaks, which the disciples thought was more than enough for adults.

At that time, there will be two books with pinyin annotation in the martial arts hall for borrowing. After reading them familiarly, you will gradually become able to read and write, which will be equally easy for teaching."

Yang Dongxiong nodded: "I will talk to Zhao Shanchang another day."

Pingyang County was transformed into Pingyang Prefecture.

It is indeed time for martial arts schools to make changes. If we wait until the momentum is really weak and the impression is finalized, it will be too late.

"Let's go to the backyard."

Yang Dongxiong stood up and Liang Qu cupped his fists.

"Master, wait a moment, disciple, I have one more thing."

"What's up?"

Hu Qi and Xiang Changsong cheered up.

Coming!

The two of them straightened their backs and looked up at their master.

Yang Dongxiong caught a glimpse of the two people's expressions from the corner of his eye, and his eyes flashed.

"Disciple got news a few days ago..."

Liang Qu talked about the longevity of heaven and water and the possibility of the phenomena of heaven and earth appearing in the world. During this period, he concealed the process of obtaining the information and only talked about the results.

Silence.

Yang Dongxiong rolled his eyes.

"Is this the big thing you mentioned a few days ago?"

No response!

Hu Qi, Xiang Changsong was greatly disappointed and leaned back.

Liang Qu nodded.

"Single flax cannot make a thread, but twin threads can be twisted into a rope. When the strange phenomenon appears, there must be a mixture of fish and dragons under the water, and there will only be more monsters to try their luck.

I’m going to find Master today, and I’m going to find Brother Yue Long later. I’ll help you when the time comes, and I’ll surround the disciples with a few acres of land under the water.”

With the help of experts, it will be enough for Liang Qu to realize the vision of heaven and earth, and it will also be beneficial to other people and help each other.

As for whether the competition for long energy will increase in oddities.

Liang Qu didn't know what level Xu Yuelong had reached, but without the help of a master, he wanted to go underwater and compete with the water tribe for longevity.

Enough.

Most likely it won't be taken into consideration.
Chapter completed!
