The Tang Dynasty started from saving Empress Changsun

Chapter 155 Family Sword Art
Chen Jingke didn't expect such an unexpected surprise. If he knew that population could stimulate Li Shimin, he would have told about it long ago.

But it's not too late now, as long as Li Shimin is willing to do something, it will never be too late.

He was not surprised that Li Shimin chose to conduct a population census first. It is impossible for such a big matter to be finished by just talking about it. Certain data must be collected.

These data are also evidence for him to persuade his confidants to attack the gentry together.Attacking the gentry without a legitimate reason can easily arouse internal suspicion.

As for how he determined the concealed population - there is no doubt that an emperor with real power like him has a way to estimate a rough value.

As long as there is rough data, there is a reason to do it.

Today, I went out to farm with my eldest grandson Wugou, except for the population, nothing else.

Being lazy and playing sand with his little daughter-in-law, he didn't have the nerve to tell his master and had nothing to say, so the topic naturally turned to Master Zhang Tianshi of Longhushan.

"I was surprised that you kept the names of the four great celestial masters secret. Now I know that you are a good fisherman. The people from Longhu Mountain have really come." Chen Jingke praised sincerely.

Sun Simiao said proudly, "Actually, it's not difficult to guess. As long as Longhushan is not willing to be lonely, it will definitely come."

Chen Jingke said excitedly: "Longhushan is the direct descendant of Zhang Daoling and Zhang Tianshi. Their open support will add wings to our great cause of innovation."

Although the influence of Longhushan has been negligible, the current Taoism generally follows the path of Zhengyi pioneered by Zhang Daoling.

All the Taoist priests would shout Patriarch when they saw Zhang Daoling. The potential influence of the Longhushan Tianshi Taoist lineage on Taoism is very huge.

Their support is equivalent to obtaining the title of righteousness for Zixiao Temple.

As the so-called "teaching is famous", righteousness and fame are still very important, especially for the reformers.It can reduce the resistance of many people and affect a large number of fools.

"But, I just don't know how big their appetite is."

Sun Simiao said lightly: "You underestimate the weight of the title of the Four Great Celestial Masters. Now Zhang Tongxuan has to consider what price to pay in exchange for this title. Verbal support is not enough."

Chen Jingke was puzzled at first, but he reacted immediately.He preconceived that Zhang Daoling should get the title of celestial master, and never thought of using this as a bargaining chip.

Thinking about it now, why should I give you Zhang Daoling?Just because you created Zhengdao?But I, Zixiaoguan, did not take the path of Zhengdao, why should I give it to you?
Longhushan had to pay a sufficient price for fame and status.

Moreover, the titles of the four celestial masters are especially important to Longhushan, because they are direct descendants of Zhang Daoling and can gain more benefits from them.

The difference between the heirs of the Heavenly Master and the direct descendants of the Heavenly Master is so great that it can divide a religion into two factions that are hostile.

For example, the Islamic religion next door.

The master and apprentice talked for a while, and Chen Jingke yawned one after another. He was really tired after running for a day.Anyway, it was nothing serious, so Sun Simiao let him go back to rest.

Back in his small courtyard, Chen Jingke's heart began to pound, and the scene of taking a bath came to mind again.

How about letting them go to bed tonight?Even if you can't drive, a fake car is better than no car.

So which servant to choose?Will you be jealous if you choose one over the other?Or just two together?
He didn't think about this problem until he fell asleep, so that when he got up the next morning, he hugged the quilt and was sad for a long time.

Normally, what he's hugging right now shouldn't be the quilt, but the limp body of a certain girl.

When will this damn hormone come back to normal?

After complaining about himself for a while, he got up under the service of the two young girls.

During routine morning exercises, Zhang Tongxuan brought Zhang Heng and Zhang Ping to show up, and they were very curious about Tai Chi.

After some friendly discussions, the two sides reached an agreement to exchange martial arts.Longhushan exchanged a set of ancestral swordsmanship for Zixiaoguan's Taijiquan.

Then Sun Simiao and Zhang Tongxuan taught each other, while Chen Jingke and Zhang Heng and Zhang Ping taught each other.

This is nothing at all, adults teach adults and children teach children, everyone is quite at ease.

But at the beginning of the mutual teaching, Zhang Heng found an excuse to let Chen Jingke and Zhang Ping teach each other, and he just watched and learned from the sidelines.

This... Chen Jingke is quite speechless. Doesn't this Zhang Dalang know that there will be physical contact in this kind of teaching?
In the previous life, she was still a loli at the age of 11, but she can already marry in this age. This kind of contact is really a bit too much.Even if the atmosphere of Datang is open, it seems to have crossed the line.

But Zhang Heng took it for granted, and Zhang Tongxuan on the side seemed to have heard nothing.

As for Zhang Ping himself, his small mouth and baby fat face suddenly swelled up like a bun, but he didn't object.

Sun Simiao took a look at the crowd and understood, he finally understood why Zhang Tianshi took his daughter with him when he traveled far away.But he felt that it was ridiculous, this silly apprentice became a sweet potato.

Chen Jingke himself just thought it was inappropriate to do so, but he didn't think too much about it. He just thought that Zhang Heng had a problem with him. Yesterday, Mr. Zhang Dalang looked at him with eyes full of scrutiny.

Another possibility is that older children don't like to play with younger children. He has seen this situation too much, and he has experienced it himself.

But no matter what the reason is, he doesn't care. Since your parents don't feel anything, then I won't say anything. Anyway, it's not me who suffers.

And looking at this lady Zhang's suddenly rounded face, he thought it was very funny, and he had an urge to rub it.

Kneading is naturally not allowed, but physical contact during teaching is inevitable.

However, he hasn't made it to the point where he can take advantage of this opportunity. He basically uses words to remind him, or uses a small wooden stick to point, and avoids doing it as much as possible.

When Zhang Ping taught him, he was much more casual, using stick sign language together.

At first, Chen Jingke thought that the swordsmanship handed down by their family was a health-preserving swordsmanship similar to the Tai Chi sword. Only after seeing it did he know that it was a proper killing technique.

It mainly focuses on stabbing and cutting, and its moves can't leave people's vital points. As long as they are hit, they will either die or be injured.

This made him speechless, and he couldn't help asking: "Don't Taoists pay attention to quietness and inaction? Why is your family's swordsmanship so murderous?"

Zhang Ping puffed his cheeks again, and said, "My Taoist school pays attention to what to do and what not to do. Didn't this point be specially emphasized in the innovation of Zixiao Temple?"

Uh...Chen Jingke was so embarrassed, his words were tantamount to pointing his nose and saying that he was ignorant.But the conscience of heaven and earth, he just asked casually just now, without thinking much at all.

Fearing that the atmosphere would become tense, Zhang Heng smoothed things over and said, "This set of swordsmanship was inherited from the third generation ancestor Langzhonghou, and was improved by generations of ancestors."

"When I went out to preach, I often walked alone. It is common for me to sleep in the wild at night. I have a set of swordsmanship to protect myself from small wild beasts."

The third ancestor Langzhong Hou he mentioned was Zhang Lu who occupied Hanzhong during the Three Kingdoms period.
