Heaven's Martial Fate

Chapter 243 Shocked

The Zheng family in Rongyang, who was in charge of managing the land of the farm, thought he was doomed.

Judging from the decision to be rude to Wu Dong and his party and kill the guards around him, he would definitely not care about Rongyang Zheng's face.

Fortunately, Wu Dong didn't intend to kill indiscriminately, so he still saved his life.

Then, the foreign manager was sent around and escorted to a relatively remote village for 'residential surveillance'.

That's right, it's 'residential surveillance', not detention and complete loss of personal freedom.

However, if you want to have a good meal, you have to support yourself.

He is old, and he has been pampered for many years, so he can't do farm work at all.

Fortunately, there is a school in the village, and he can go to the school to teach students how to read and write.

In the basic school, looking at the rows of students dressed in "plain" clothes, I was naturally not very happy.

The mentality of being in charge for many years has been revered, so naturally he looks down on the so-called mud legs.

It's a pity that the situation is stronger than people, and he naturally has to bow his head if he wants to survive. This is still understandable.

However, what made him uncomfortable was that there were not only little dolls in Nima's basic school, but also middle-aged and young adults with rough faces.

Seeing these guys clumsily and struggling to read and write, looking as stupid as a pig, he just wanted to laugh a few times, and then spit out fiercely: "Mud legs are mud legs, and they still want to read and read!" , you are also worthy?"

Of course, I only dare to say this in my heart.

However, one month later, when he saw in the classroom, the middle-aged and young adults who were scratching their heads and struggling to read and understand their children, were able to read books with ease, and his mood was mixed.

The strange thing is that the basic school not only teaches reading and literacy, but also teaches students to practice martial arts to strengthen their bodies.

It's still the same as reading and writing. The students who practice martial arts are not only children, but also middle-aged and young adults in the village, and they practice more hard and seriously.

At the beginning, the foreign managers didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that what they were exercising was just superficial cropping skills, and at most it was just to strengthen their bodies.

But a month later, when he saw with his own eyes that the young man who was as thin as a monkey when he first started school lifted a fifty-pound stone lock with one hand, his eyeballs almost popped out.

Then look at the middle-aged and young people who are hardworking and hardworking. When they communicated and exchanged ideas, the martial arts and physical fitness they showed shocked him.

After careful investigation, I found out that this is the result of the martial arts taught by them in the training school.

The foreign manager was shocked again, and immediately understood that the seemingly ordinary training method was quite extraordinary.

In a month, he saw with his own eyes that the group of middle-aged and young adults who sneaked into the school had undergone radical changes one by one.

He is able to read and write, and his body has been tempered to be quite strong. His fist and foot martial arts are considered quite powerful among ordinary people.

It gave him the feeling that he was an 'all-rounder in both civil and military affairs', what a ghost.

Involuntarily, an inexplicable panic rose suddenly in my heart.

A group of mud legs who don't know anything, after a month of study and tempering, there is such an amazing change?

If they were given more time, in three or five years, would they be able to catch up with those unsatisfactory playboys in the Rongyang Zheng family?

My heart flustered, and I didn't dare to continue thinking about it.

A village that has just been established can undergo such changes in a short period of time. How about giving those lawless people more time?

Despite some discoveries, the foreign steward was worried and wanted to escape and tell Patriarch Zheng that in the inconspicuous wilderness in the hinterland of the Central Plains, there was a force doing crazy things that spread knowledge widely.

If it is not quickly extinguished, when these mud legs that have been imparted with knowledge grow up, I am afraid that the foundation of the aristocratic family will be shaken.

This point, the foreign steward sees very clearly.

But no matter how uneasy I felt in my heart, I could only be honest and dare not act rashly.

He didn't know where the village he was staying in was, and how far was it from Rongyang Zheng's territory?

He is only rough in fists and feet, and his body is not as good as before, so how can he dare to take risks indiscriminately?
Because he is not only able to read and write, but also has certain experience in business operations.

After becoming a literacy teacher at the Laiyue School, he has another position as a consultant for a medicinal workshop, and he can get double salary.

Isn't it easy to manage and operate a simple medicinal material workshop?
In order to improve his living standard, the foreign manager just showed off lightly, and got the approval and respect of the whole medicine workshop.

However, seeing the salary he got, he felt a little unreliable.

It's just a few beautifully crafted small papers, with detailed introductions on which can be exchanged for various living supplies. With this, you can exchange them for corresponding living supplies at the grocery store in the village.

At the beginning, he naturally had no idea. After receiving the salary, he immediately exchanged it for the necessities of life.

As a result, all of them could be exchanged, and they were still exactly the same.

After the second month's salary was issued, he didn't continue to exchange all of it. Some living supplies cannot be stored for a long time, so it is more appropriate to purchase fresh ones.

Gradually, he got used to the exquisite paper in his hand, and he could exchange it for various items and supplies, just using it as money.

In any case, they were all foreign managers trained by the Rongyang Zheng family. He felt that the appearance of these exquisite papers might cause great disturbances.

It's just limited to my own knowledge, so I don't know at all, if these exquisite papers are spread, what kind of reaction will it cause?
Over time, he got used to such a simple life.

Although the village is remote, there is no problem communicating with the outside world.

From time to time, men in uniforms would drive in a large amount of daily necessities in a horse-drawn cart, and then transport out the semi-finished products made by the village medicinal workshop.

Although I don't know the price difference during the period, I also understand that the village has its own income, and life is not difficult.

Sometimes, he can't help but compare the village he lives in with the villages he managed before.

The result was a little frustrating for him, no harm without comparison.

Compared with the tranquility of the village where he lived at this time, there was still so much vitality, and the manor village he managed before was obviously not as good.

Whether it is the standard of living or the spirit of the villagers, there is a big gap.

He couldn't figure out, what was the difference in it?

Later, when he saw the middle-aged and young villagers in the school who were eager to read and write, and sweated profusely in the martial arts field, just to strengthen their bodies and protect their families, he seemed to understand.

In Zheng's Manor, these lowest-level farmers have no possibility of access to book knowledge, and they can only be trapped in the fields for a lifetime.

As for practicing martial arts to strengthen your body and have the strength to protect your family, that's even more nonsense.

In order to facilitate management and control, a foreign manager like him wished that the farmers in the manor village should be as stupid and weak as possible, and they would not be given any chance to become stronger.

Perhaps this is the biggest difference.

Soon, to the surprise of the foreign steward, the group of strong men dressed uniformly sent two bald monks.

One was in the prime of life, but the other was a teenager, so they were escorted directly to the empty house next to them.

There is not only a village guard team in the village, but also a group of five strong men stationed there.

The strong and strong man headed by him actually has the fist and foot martial arts of the ranks of the world.

In the first few days, the middle-aged monk was not honest, but he suffered a lot.

By the time he lost his temper after being completely tortured, three or five days had passed.

"You master and apprentice, which monastery are you from?"

The two monks naturally needed to work and eat, and the foreign steward deliberately approached them curiously.

I was also secretly surprised that those bastards were so courageous that they even dared to move Buddhist temples.

As the external steward of the Zheng family in Rongyang, he has naturally heard about the strength of the Buddhist sect.

Not to mention, the rumors and turmoil in the rivers and lakes not long ago revealed a lot of the power of Buddhism.

Every big Buddhist temple has at least first-class masters to protect it. What is the concept?
The number of first-class masters controlled by the entire Zheng family is only about twenty, which is already quite exaggerated.

But compared to the power of Buddhism, it is that the little witches are no match for the big witches.

Those bastards dared to attack Buddhist temples, they were simply impatient.

The result of the investigation made him both happy and worried.

This pair of master and apprentice came from a small temple, which should belong to the peripheral forces of Buddhism.

It's just that the small temple where the master and apprentice are located is indeed small enough, with only seven or eight monks in total.

With the help of Buddhism's momentum, Xiaomiao controlled nearly a thousand acres of land.

As a result, this time they were all snatched away by a group of strong men who suddenly came out.

When talking about this, the strong monk's face was full of resentment, as if he had been forcibly cut on his body; a piece of flesh was uncomfortable.

On the contrary, the young monk quickly became one with his peers in the school.

The foreign manager was a little depressed. Obviously, it was impossible to find any useful information from the master-student monk.

However, he still revealed some things from the mouth of the strong monk.

At this time, the eighth year of Daye had passed, and in the spring of the ninth year of Daye, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty, who was far away in Youzhou, started his expedition to Goguryeo again.

Regarding this, the foreign manager just sneered secretly in his heart.

As the external manager of the Zheng family in Rongyang, he naturally knows some things.

The Zheng family in Rongyang belonged to the gentry in the 'Shandong' east. In fact, they had no direct conflict with Sui Emperor Yang Guang, but the Longyou military aristocratic group from which they were born had a more violent quarrel with Yang Guang.

This time, the Longyou military aristocratic group intends to teach Yang Guang a profound lesson.

By the way, it is also to shake the foundation of the Sui Dynasty and make the emperor Yang Guang completely lose his authority. Some radicals even plan to change the emperor directly, change to an obedient one, and will not try to make things difficult for them. The emperor who wants to weaken their strength is astonishingly courageous ...
