The counterattack of the villains

Chapter 7
With money, many things are easier to handle.

Li Mu took Ning Zhongze down the mountain the next day, went to the bank in Huayin City, and exchanged a bank note for cash.

Then through the tooth shop, I bought a group of handymen, several maids, and several cooks, a total of 24 people.

The servants bought through dental shops are quite different from the prostitutes who bought directly outside.

In the words of later generations, these people have been professionally trained, are very proficient in their business, have good etiquette and ideological cognition, and can be directly hired as soon as they are purchased.

Only the families of the top dignitaries can raise talents who are responsible for training servants.

They usually buy their own people for training, and generally speaking, the price of prostitutes bought by themselves is much cheaper.

Ordinary rich families can only buy servants through the dental office, so they have to pay a sum of money to the dental office, which is similar to an intermediary fee.

The price of buying people is also relatively expensive. After all, training institutions have paid for training these people, and the quality of these people is also worth the price.

Mainly those institutions that specialize in training servants basically have an official background and must go through a dental office to trade.

If you want to buy a professional servant, you can only go through a dental shop.

The servants who are bought must sign a contract of sale. If the servants are sold and escape from the master's house privately, the official is still obliged to recover it for the master.

If a servant acts against the interests of the master's family, the master's family can also directly enforce the family law without being judged by the national law, and has the power of life and death.

With these twenty or so servants going up the mountain, the desolate Huashan faction finally gained popularity again.

In the past, the chores of the Huashan School were all handled by the disciples themselves, and there had never been a case of recruiting professional servants.

Now under Li Mu's favor, Ning Qingyu and Ning Zhong have also become masters and young ladies, able to experience the feeling of a rich family and live a life of being served by others.

Daily life is served by maids, cleaning and maintenance are handled by handymen, meals are taken care of by cooks, and Ning Zhong is completely freed.

She saved a lot of time, which can be used to practice martial arts and enhance her strength.

After the servants got acquainted with the Huashan faction and their lives were on the right track, the marriage between Li Mu and Ning Zhongze was put on the agenda by Ning Qingyu.

After all, "Yue Buqun" is now in his thirties, and Ning Zhong is 23 years old, not young anymore.

In this era, they are all older unmarried youths.

Naturally, there is no obstacle to this marriage, the two of them are happy with each other, and the elders are also happy to see it come true, everything is logical.

It's just that this marriage can't be as simple as the previous succession of the head of the family.

At that time, there was no other way, and I had to keep things simple, but now that I have the conditions, naturally I can no longer be so casual.

I just took this opportunity to explain the handover of the head of Huashan.

The day was set to be the auspicious day of the zodiac more than three months later. Ning Qingyu personally wrote the invitations for them and asked the servants to send them to the Civil Information Bureau of Huayin City for posting.

The post station is the communication organization of the government, and it is only allowed to send government documents, not private letters.

However, during the Yongle Dynasty, a professional civilian postal organization, the Minxin Bureau, appeared among the people.

This Minxin Bureau is the earliest post office in China. It can not only deliver letters and packages, but also exchange money, and even consign some large items.

If there are enough people in the sect, they should send their disciples to personally deliver the letter to show their sincerity.

But now there are only three people in the Huashan faction, and it is simply unrealistic for those servants who don't know martial arts to travel long distances to deliver letters, so they have to go the way of the civilian post.

Regarding the current situation of the Huashan faction, all factions are also aware of it and can understand it, and will not pick any courtesy in this regard.

This time, for the big wedding of the only direct disciple and daughter, Ning Qingyu naturally invites all famous figures in the martial arts world.

Needless to say, the Wuyue Sword School had to send letters one by one.

In addition to the Wuyue Sword School, there are also Shaolin, Wudang, Kunlun, Kongtong, Emei, Qingcheng, Beggars' Gang and other sects with friendship.

Of course, these friendships belong to Ning Qingyu's generation, and Li Mu's face is not that big at present.

However, most of the people who will come will be from Li Mu's generation, or from Ning Qingyu's generation, but not from the head of the sect.

If it weren't for such a major event as the Five Sacred Mountains Alliance, the head of the faction would not easily leave the mountain.

……

In the courtyard of Ning Qingyu's residence.

Li Mu and Ning Zhongze sat around a stone table with Ning Qingyu to discuss matters.

Ning Qingyu said with a serious expression: "No group, not long after your wedding, the Five Sacred Mountains Alliance will be held. After careful consideration as a teacher these days, I feel that the Huashan School should temporarily hide its strength and bide its time."

"You know the current situation of the Huashan faction. If we occupy the title of leader of the Five Sacred Mountains, it will be difficult to convince the public, and it will be harmful and useless."

Li Mulue pondered for a while, then nodded and said: "What Master said is very true, the overall strength of the sect is the foundation to support the position of leader."

"Now that the Huashan faction has reached its most declining point, even if the disciples can defeat the other four sect leaders and forcefully retain the position of the leader of the Five Sacred Mountains, I am afraid that no one will really listen to my orders."

Not only that, but if he shows the martial arts that overwhelm his peers, he may become a thorn in the side of some people, a thorn in his flesh.

No matter how high his martial arts are, there is only one person after all, how many people can he deal with?
If some people sent a large group of experts to besiege him, he would only end up with hatred.

So, I have to pretend to be a pig for some years.

Ning Qingyu sighed softly, and said, "It's good that you understand. Being a teacher means that for this alliance, let's give up the position of the leader of the Five Sacred Mountains first, and you don't want to reveal your true cultivation for the time being."

"In this way, all factions will no longer stare at Huashan, and you will not be targeted by ambitious people."

"After the alliance is over, you and Zhong Ze will go down the mountain immediately to find suitable candidates to take as disciples and train them carefully."

"After more than ten years, when the next generation of disciples grows up, it won't be too late for you to wait for the opportunity to regain the position of the leader of the Five Sacred Mountains."

"At that time, your skill will definitely be more profound. When the old fellows of the various factions leave, the generation of the Wuyue Sword Sect will respect you and be second to none."

"Coupled with the prosperity of the sect and the large number of disciples, no one can shake my position as the head of the Five Sacred Mountains of Mount Hua."

Li Mu lowered his eyelids and said, "Disciple remembers Master's teachings."

Ning Qingyu patted him on the shoulder, and comforted him: "I know that I have wronged you for asking you to endure such humiliation."

"But a man can bend and stretch. For the future of the Huashan School, I believe you can bear it as a teacher."

Li Mu smiled and said: "Master, don't worry, this disciple will not feel wronged, because this disciple knows very well that forbearance is only for a while, and what is lost will eventually be taken back."

"This is not a kind of belief. Faith is needed because of uncertain things. It is precisely because disciples are very sure that this is only temporary, so they will not feel wronged."

"Hahaha..." After listening to Li Mu's words, Ning Qingyu laughed loudly, "Okay, well said, this is my good apprentice and son-in-law of Ning Qingyu."

Ning Zhong on the side was also smiling, looking at Yue Buqun full of admiration.
