The legend of the king of crossing

Chapter 312

In the martial arts hall of the imperial palace, I held a long sword and stepped on shadowless steps. I used the 32 Taizu swordsmanship to fight with Xiaoqi. Considering the ruthlessness of swords and swords, he was afraid of hurting me, so he was almost always on the defensive, only occasionally attacking one or two moves out of ten. In the middle of the opponent, Xiaoqi used defensive moves, but he couldn't get the essence of Taizu's swordsmanship. I have completely suppressed him within a few moves.

"Xiao Qi, step back," said Yuan Ji, who was guiding him, and took a long wooden sword from the weapon rack, "Your Majesty, I'm here to accompany Your Majesty to fight,"

"it is good,"

Yuan Ji took two steps back, raised the wooden sword in his right hand, and pinched his left hand into a sword formula. He lowered his shoulders to his elbows, folded his chest and straightened his back: "Your Majesty, the sword moves I use are the Tai Chi that your Majesty once mentioned. Recently, I just realized a little , I just don’t know if it’s correct, please correct me, Your Majesty.”

"Tai Chi Sword,"

"Yes, Your Majesty,"

I remember talking to Yuan Ji about Taijiquan and Taijijian in later generations, but I only know what it is, how can I know why, so I can't talk about correcting it.

"The road is made by people. There is no Taijiquan and Taijijian in the world. Didn't they appear because of Zhang Sanfeng? As the authentic heir of Emperor Valley martial arts, Yuan Ji has high martial arts skills, and his own knowledge is even more extraordinary. If I am a traveler like myself, maybe I can also create Taijiquan, Taijijian," I thought to myself.

"Sir, look at the move," I got up my spirits, attacked first, and used Taizu's swordsmanship to the fullest in my opinion. I didn't have to worry about anything against a master like Yuan Ji. No matter what, I couldn't get hurt. I can't hurt him, and he won't hurt me, so the attacks are full of attack routines.

I also don't see how Yuan Ji exerted his strength, but in an understatement, the light wooden sword in Yuan Ji's hand easily eliminated my attacking moves one by one. Although it is rare, I can recognize it at a glance. This is the application of the cloud hand in Taijiquan to the sword technique. I don't know the name of this sword technique, so let's just call it the cloud sword.

Yuan Ji's moves are only defensive. Although the speed is not very fast, it is like flowing clouds and flowing water. Absolutely can't accept three tricks.

"Your Majesty, is this the Taiji swordsmanship you mentioned?" Yuan Ji asked with a swing of my weapon and retracted the wooden sword.

"Sir, I can't say well, it feels quite similar,"

Xiao Qi, who was watching carefully from the side, said: "Guan, sir, the circles formed by the long sword dance one after another, seem to be weak, but it makes Xiao Qi feel that there is no way to attack, and the feeling of being powerful cannot be used,"

"Well, Xiaoqi, I also feel the same way. The sword circle is endless, without beginning and end, so I can't find a place to attack. Sir, could it be that you have mastered this Taiji swordsmanship?"

Yuan Ji smiled: "Your Majesty, how can it be so simple, the way of Taijiquan and Taiji swordsmanship is very deep. From my understanding, I can at most be a first glimpse of the way, and it is just one or two of the many doors. Your Majesty You must be able to see that the sword technique I used just now has very few moves. I guess that this is just an introductory skill in Taiji swordsmanship. One day, if I can understand all the true meanings of it, I can explain the sword intent clearly. I believe that the power of this martial arts will not be inferior to that of my Emperor Valley martial arts, and it seems that it pays great attention to self-cultivation. Based on this alone, it may be able to pass on the name to future generations, Xiaoqi,"

"Ah, sir,"

"Xiaoqi, although Taiji swordsmanship has its own profundity, but my Taiji swordsmanship is only at the specious stage. You just felt that it was difficult to find the point of attack. It is not entirely because of Taiji swordsmanship. Part of the reason is that the difference in martial arts attainments between us is too great,"

Xiaoqi gave an "en" and said, "Understood, sir,"

"Officials, slaves have something to do," just as we were talking, we saw Eunuch Zhou say from outside the door.

"Eunuch Zhou, what's the matter?"

"Officials, Wei Xiaosi is asking for an audience outside the palace, saying that he needs to find Eunuch Qi for urgent matters,"

"Little Four," I said in a daze, "Xiao Qi, go and have a look, I will practice with Mr.

"Yes, official,"

Not long after, Xiaoqi returned to the martial arts hall.

"Official, Miss Fang is back,"

I said happily: "Really, Ling'er is back,"

"Yes, the official, just now Xiaosi came here and asked the little one to tell the official about this."

"Well, Ling'er has been gone for a month, and it's time to come back after calculating the time, sir, Xiaoqi, everyone clean up, let's go to Shifeng now,"

I knew that Fang Ling would go to Shifeng Trading Company to look for me when he came back, so I told Wei Xiaosi early in the morning to notify me as soon as Fang Ling came back.

When leaving the palace gate, the sun had already disappeared, and the sky began to darken.

"elder brother,"

As soon as I entered the firm, I heard a crisp and long-lost voice.

"Ling'er," I was so excited that I couldn't hide my joy after parting, and hurried forward to hug Fang Ling in my arms.

Fang Ling asked softly: "Brother, do you miss Linger?"

"It goes without saying, of course I want to,"

"Hey, brother, Ling'er misses you so much too,"

"Well, I know,"

"How do you know that?"

"Telepathy,"

"Tch, bro, just pretend," Fang Ling chuckled and laughed out loud.

"Ling'er, are you hungry? Let's eat first. Let's chat while eating,"

"Um,"

"Xiaoqi, pass on, pass on the meal," I almost said the meal as pass on the meal.

I have been struggling, should I tell Fang Ling that I am the Emperor of the Song Dynasty? For more than a year, although Fang Ling and I have been in love with each other, she has never asked me about my identity, and I don't know what it means Well, it’s better not to say, with Fang Ling’s cleverness, he can probably guess my extraordinary background, but the chance of guessing that I am the current emperor is still very small. After thinking about it, I think it’s better to say it slowly .

"Hey, everyone's gone," Fang Ling realized that there were only the two of us left in the room.

"Haha," I said with a smile, "these people are very knowledgeable, they don't make light bulbs,"

"Light bulb, what's that,"

"Ah, oh, a light bulb is a light-emitting thing, sort of like a firefly,"

Although Fang Ling didn't know what the light bulb was, she also understood what I meant, her face blushed slightly and she said, "Brother, eat,"

Xiaoqi filled Fang Ling and me with wine and said, "My lord, Mr. Yuan and I have something to do with Xiao Tian. It's right next door. If you have any orders, you can just call us."

I smiled: "Well, let's go,"

Fang Ling took a sip of the wine and said, "Brother, this baijiu is very strong, but it is very popular. Uncle Suo drank up the bottle I brought back, and he kept asking me for it. "

"This baijiu will be mass-produced soon, and it will be available everywhere by then. By the way, there will be an auction tomorrow afternoon, which is about the agency rights of baijiu in various places. Let's go and have a look then."

"Well, brother, will your Shifeng Trading Company also participate?"

"I won't participate. Xiao Tian and I have discussed that the production of MSG, hard pens and other items can be doubled several times this year. We plan to focus on building up the national sales channels, and at the same time open up overseas markets. It is driven to the government offices (provincial capitals) of various provinces, so there is no time to take care of liquor,"

"Then no new products will be developed this year?"

"Yes, this year's tentative plan is to improve our agricultural tools, the plow and the plow. The plow is a kind of human plow that can reduce the dependence on livestock, and the plow is easy to turn the soil, which can increase agricultural production. "

"Brother, these two agricultural tools are beneficial to the common people, which is very similar to the purpose of our Red Cross Society,"

"That's right, I plan to let Shifeng Trading Company focus on the research and development and sales of items closely related to the basic life of the people in the future. Linger, during the Chinese New Year, I also thought of a business related to your bodyguard agency. I don't know if it can be done,"

"what business,"

"Ling'er, I have a business called 'quick delivery', do you know?"

"I've heard that this is a fast military post system for the military. There are step delivery, horse delivery, and urgent delivery. The urgent delivery is the fastest. It travels more than 10 miles a day, and the distance between delivery shops varies. , there are 20 miles, [-] miles, but, brother, this business is only for the military, "

Jijiadeliver is a kind of courier service set up since the Song Dynasty. In short, it is equivalent to the express delivery of later generations.

"Well, it's only for the military now. I'm thinking, if the civilians also develop this business, will it be effective?"

"I can't say well about this Linger, but I just don't think there will be much business, brother, what do you think?"

The transportation of goods in ancient times was very troublesome. During the Tang and Song Dynasties, even escort agencies were rare, and the very few escort agencies were limited to escorting valuables. Most of the folk transportation methods were caravans or self-employed carts. Neither the speed nor the safety can be guaranteed. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, with the budding of capitalism in our country, the Escort gradually developed.

"I think that with the development of the economy, there will be more and more exchanges between people in different regions. Now the flow of goods is mostly through Escorts and caravans. If your Chengwei Escort can form a large-scale and fixed transportation mode , will it be profitable, "

"Then this also requires the help of the government's inn,"

"Well, the government's post station is ready-made, and it will not operate at full capacity during non-war times. If some of its uses are released and converted to civilian use, it will increase the government's income and give them more coins. To increase the number of post stations, and at the same time facilitate the circulation of goods among the common people, is this killing two birds with one stone?"

Fang Ling thought for a while and said, "Well, it's very simple."

"Ah, Ling'er has an idea,"

"Ask my brother about this. If my brother says it can be done, then we Chengwei Escort will do it."

"Haha, Ling'er, isn't your brother just me?"

"Yeah, Linger doesn't bother to think about this kind of complicated business, I just listen to my brother,"

"In case brother makes a wrong judgment this time, you are not afraid that your bodyguard will lose money,"

"In business, there are losses and profits. There is no good thing in the world that only makes profits but not losses," Fang Ling said with a smile. "Besides, you are a god, and Linger believes in you."

"Well, Ling'er is right, your brother and I are gods," I laughed, "Ling'er, eat more, I haven't eaten the private kitchen here for a month, do you really want to eat it?"

"Hehe, it's really a bit,"

"Well, Linger, is there anything happy about going home for the New Year this time?"
