Martial Arts: Start by Obtaining the Wild World

Chapter 115 0114: All Entered the Grade; Leading People to Explain
Hearing Cheng Zongyang's words, Li Lu's heart suddenly jumped. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Cheng Zongyang's meaningful eyes. It seemed that he understood what he meant.

The surprise in my heart turned into suspicion and then seriousness, and I began to think about it.

But soon he shook his head slightly and said helplessly: "At most, he can become a constable, which is just a minor official with some power in the county, not an official."

"Where is the captain of police?" Cheng Zongyang asked.

Li Lu smiled bitterly and said, "It's not that you can become a head constable just because you have the ability, but you need to have the corresponding ability to be a head constable. In addition, the position of head constable is usually recommended by people from local noble families, or appointed by the county lord.

Just like Wang Tianfeng now, he is a member of the Wang family and has the strength of the eighth rank, so he became the head of the police. This was a joint choice of the county lord and his family. So the Wang family stood on the side of the county lord, and now Wang Tianfeng has become the head of the Wang family. "

Cheng Zongyang asked again: "What if you seek refuge with the new county magistrate?"

Now Li Lu fell silent again.

He understood what Cheng Zongyang meant and immediately asked, "Do you want me to become the head of the police?"

Cheng Zongyang smiled and said, "As you have heard, the current family situation in the county has been basically cleaned up. Chang Younian's goal is to completely control the county so that he can do things more conveniently. But he himself did not expect to be transferred, which benefited the new county master.

This meant that the new county magistrate had gotten a great bargain and was able to control the entire county without any effort.

If the new county magistrate wants to achieve results, he will definitely need manpower. Perhaps the local forces will take the initiative to join the new county magistrate, thereby gaining support and not being purged.

But according to Chang Younian's style, it is estimated that it is impossible for the other party to accept it so easily. In fact, the new county lord may face a mess.

Coming back to the point, as you just said, so many yamen runners and constables have died in the county, and manpower is needed.

If you go over there, I'm sure the new county magistrate will entrust you with important tasks. As long as your strength is sufficient, does it mean that you can be promoted to the head of the police?
An eighth-rank warrior, plus the position of head of a police force, is basically equal to the head of a gang or clan. It also means that your power will greatly increase. So, Uncle Li..."

At this point, Cheng Zongyang paused and asked in a resolute voice: "Have you ever thought about becoming a head constable?"

Li Lu smiled and said, "Who wouldn't want to move up as an official? Although I'm not an official, what you said is indeed very feasible. And one of the conditions for becoming a head constable is to reach the eighth rank. How can you help me achieve that?"

Cheng Zongyang smiled slightly, stood up and said, "Let's see what happens next. If it's really feasible, I can go find that person and help you get the method to upgrade to an eighth-grade warrior. I'll leave first."

Li Lu reached out to stop Cheng Zongyang, stared at him with burning eyes, and said solemnly:
"If you can help me become an eighth-rank warrior, I will do my best to fight for the position of head constable. I don't care what you think. As long as I become a head constable, I will help you unconditionally as long as I can do it!"

Cheng Zongyang smiled and said, "Don't be so polite, Uncle Li, as long as you want to move up, and as long as I can do it, I will help you. We are supporting each other."

As he said this, he stretched out his hand.

Li Lu didn't understand the meaning of extending his hand, but he also extended his hand, and then Cheng Zongyang shook his hand.

"I wish us a pleasant cooperation. In addition, I will come again in seven days. By then, the new county lord should be here. You can find out more information.

Also, if you want to quickly upgrade to an eighth-grade warrior, you need some warrior corpses, no less than six in number, the stronger the better, and the time of death cannot exceed one day. Please help me find out which warriors are dying, even those in prison will do."

"There are quite a few in the prison. Okay, I'll go ask."

Li Lu nodded. He was also thinking, could it be possible to use the corpses of warriors to make some medicine to help improve their cultivation?
After leaving Li Lu's house, Cheng Zongyang left the county town overnight.

I know most of what's going on in the city, so there's no need to stay longer.

Leaving the county town, we came to the mass grave.

When he saw the green ghost fires burning in some places in the mass grave, he shook his head slightly. If those who didn't understand would be scared to death when they saw this.

He quickly came to the place he had marked, dug out the soul crystal and examined it.

-

[Low-level Soul Crystal]

Collection level: 1000/1000
-

Looking at the fully-progressed soul crystal, Cheng Zongyang was extremely happy.

"Sure enough, only in places like this can we quickly gather the required soul progress."

When I came to the other two locations, they were also full as expected.

After collecting the three soul crystals, Cheng Zongyang quickly rushed back to the inner mountain pass.

When he was on the mountain, he took out ten bags of rice and flour, placed them on a wooden rack and dragged them down. Every time he went out and came back, he would take out rice and other supplies from the wilderness world, and he also had a legitimate excuse.

However, when he got closer to the station, he noticed a bright fire at the gate of the yard and heard faint voices.

"You haven't rested yet?" Cheng Zongyang was puzzled and quickened his pace. It was almost midnight.

Several adults also heard his movement and looked towards the entrance.

When they saw that it was Cheng Zongyang, they were very happy and helped move ten bags of rice and flour weighing 100 kilograms to the warehouse.

The two old people, the women and the children had all gone to bed, leaving only the four fathers and two cousins ​​chatting.

"You have all successfully entered the realm of cultivation. This is really worth celebrating!" Cheng Zongyang knew the situation when he felt the strong energy and blood emanating from four of them.

"Hahaha, after entering the realm of the essence, my body is really different!" Cheng Guanghai was also excited.

"Yes, I can easily lift things weighing two or three hundred kilograms. I have endless energy to work." Cousin Zhou Zhenyuan was also excited.

"You are useless. You are a warrior but you are still just working." His father Zhou Hansong glared at him and said, "Practice more martial arts in the future. When your second uncle goes to collect herbs, you two have to follow him."

As Zhou Hansong spoke, he also brought Zhou Zhendong along.

"Hey, don't worry, Second Uncle's safety depends on us brothers." Zhou Zhendong patted his chest and said righteously.

"Okay, that's right." Zhou Hanchang nodded.

"You only have strength now, but no fighting skills. You still need to learn more martial arts. Zong Yang also said that the eight martial arts books are all in the ancestral hall. Starting tomorrow, each of you can choose one to practice." Cheng Guangshan interrupted their excitement. "You only have time at night. There are too many things to do during the day and you can't study."

Cheng Zongyang smiled and said, "Just take your time. Even if you don't have any moves, you can chop a wild boar in half with just your strength and a hatchet."

He felt relieved that his father and two cousins ​​had been admitted to the rank. At least he was not in the garrison, so even if wild beasts came down the mountain, there were warriors to deal with them.

"That's right. I'll continue to use my bow and arrow and make a stronger bow with greater lethality."

Cheng Guanghai said this, then suddenly turned to look at his son and asked, "You went to the city just to get food?"

Cheng Zongyang slowly spoke out the words he had prepared long ago:

"Dad, this is only part of it. The main purpose is to learn about the situation in the city from an acquaintance. We can also take the opportunity to see if we can take some of the things we have saved to the county town to sell. But it is still impossible. There are not many shops open in the county. In addition, there are often years..."

Cheng Zongyang told some things with slight modifications, and also told several fathers and cousins ​​some of his ideas.

After listening to this, Cheng Guangshan frowned and said, "Zongyang, I roughly understand what you mean. Are you sure you want to help Li Lu? Also, do we have to move back to the city?"

The others also looked at Cheng Zongyang.

Cheng Zongyang explained: "Originally, Li Lu's role was just to get the news. But after knowing Chang Younian's situation, helping Li Lu gain a foothold in front of the new county lord is more important.

If it works well in the future, it is not impossible to let Li Lu become the head of the Inspection Department. I don't know who the Luo family's allies are, but it is still possible for a noble family to appoint a ninth-rank official. This will reflect Li Lu's ability. This will be solved slowly in the future, it is nothing more than merit.

As for moving back to the county, it will only be possible when the drought is over and the county is stable. In addition, even if we move, it is impossible for all of us to move in. The county is just a place for us to contact the outside world, not our main place. In the future, when the family does business, we will move into the county."

"Okay, as long as you have a plan." Cheng Guanghai also understood and nodded.

"Yes, we should build this place well now. It is freer here than in the county town, and we don't have to worry about food and drink." Zhou Zhendong said.

"There are still many things to be built, new earthen houses, two or three cellars, arable land, vegetable plots, ponds, pig farms, etc. There are still many things to be renovated." Zhou Zhenyuan spoke as if he knew them all.

Everyone smiled. Compared to the county town, everyone felt that living in Neishankou was more free.

The place is big, children and adults are not restricted, they don't have to be cautious about what they want to eat, and they can take a bath if they want. Why go to the county town and be restricted everywhere?
But Cheng Zongyang's face turned serious and he said:
"These are all things for the future. Now, including me, we already have five warriors. In a few days, when my uncle enters the rank, we will have six. Although we don't have much real combat power, we are not comparable to ordinary people. Therefore, we have to speed up the construction of Neishankou. Let's proceed according to our previous plan. I will start looking for manpower."

"Okay!" Everyone nodded.

They already knew about the construction plan of Neishankou. They had been waiting for them to enter the rank, so that they would have enough power to protect the territory.

Things can be accelerated.

Next, everyone went to rest.

Silent all night.

The next day, accompanied by the early morning bird calls and some conversations, Cheng Zongyang slowly opened his eyes and moved his second brother's feet, which had nowhere to go.

Looking at his second brother who was sleeping soundly, Cheng Zongyang couldn't help but smile.

"This kid is only eleven years old, it's still too early, let's talk about it after he is officially admitted." Cheng Zongyang murmured.

He had realized in the past few days that his second brother had fallen in love with the two sisters from the Chen family.

Wow, I fell in love with both of them at first sight.

The two sisters of the Chen family are pretty, although not as pretty as some of the eldest daughters of the city families, but they will look better when they are well-fed and have some flesh.

He saw through it but didn't say it out loud, and the adults also saw it clearly.

But I'm still young, so there's no need to rush.

Put on your straw sandals and walk out of the room.

Those who work work, those who exercise exercise, and those who sleep sleep.

This is the normal atmosphere of rural life.

After washing up, Cheng Zongyang brought a large bowl of porridge and some dried meat to his father who was cleaning the dirt in the cellar and asked, "Dad, how much more is needed in this cellar?"

"This room...half of it is enough." Cheng Guanghai gestured.

"By the way, build some more bamboo houses. I plan to bring some people back in a few days. This way we will have some labor to help. This way, you and my uncle will have more time to practice."

Cheng Guanghai understood his son's thoughts, and he had mentioned this before. After thinking for a while, he asked, "With more people, what about food?"

Cheng Zongyang nodded and said, "Don't worry. If there's not enough food, I'll go to the county to get it. It won't be a problem to eat it for a year. When we plant it in the spring of next year, we can harvest it in the autumn. Ten acres of land can yield several thousand kilograms of food. Besides, with more people working, we can open up more land for farming. If we can find cattle one day, we can buy a pair of calves and plow the land easily."

Cheng Guanghai climbed out from the cellar, sat casually on the ground, and continued to ask: "How many people are you going to bring with you?"

"It depends on the situation. The child wants it, and the adult also wants it. Dad, do you have any opinion?" Cheng Zongyang asked.

"Then choose a family with children."

Cheng Guanghai said: "When there are children in a family, adults have concerns. If they are fed, the children can learn to read and help with the work. They will agree with the adults and work hard.

If they behave well in the future, the children can also be given medicinal baths. But if they join, it is equivalent to joining the family, and they need to sign a contract. Although this thing is superficial, it still has some constraints. We are not very literate and have little experience in family rules, so we have to let your second uncle come."

Cheng Zongyang thought about it and felt that it made sense, so he gave a thumbs up and said, "Old ginger is still spicy. I have no objection to this."

"Go away." Cheng Guanghai glared at him unhappily, and then said, "If you are looking for an orphan, in the early stage, the male and female children should be 3:7, and the girls should be a little older, about the same age as your cousins. For the rest, you can do it yourself."

Cheng Zongyang asked in confusion: "Why?"

Cheng Guanghai wiped the sweat off his face with the towel around his neck and explained:
"Since you want the Cheng and Zhou families to have more children, girls are indispensable. Your two cousins ​​are not young anymore, and it is time for them to get married. But they were worried about food and drink before, and getting married means one more mouth to feed, so they just put it off.

Zong Liang, this little bastard, immediately set his sights on the two Chens, and he was quite greedy. But the two sisters were willing, so he let them..."

"Wait, wait, wait." Cheng Zongyang's eyes widened and he asked quickly, "No, Dad, have you asked the two sisters?"

Cheng Guanghai glanced at him with dissatisfaction:
"If I don't ask, how could your mother let that little bastard pester her two daughters? Isn't he a hooligan? Also, judging from your appearance, I don't know when you can get married.

Moreover, as the eldest son of the third generation of the Cheng family, you will be the leader of the Cheng family in the future. You cannot choose a wife casually. There are many mediocre and beautiful women, but this is not acceptable. Your grandfather said that when you marry a virtuous wife, you also need to consider her ability. So you have to find one who can help you.

Let’s focus on Zong Liang now, and get married when they are old enough and have more children.

Yang'er, I'm assured of your personality. Zong Liang is smart, but his ability is mediocre. Finding two virtuous and weak people from the Chen family is also a good match. If you have more children, maybe there will be a few strong ones in the fourth generation.

Go find some girls from outside, raise them for a while, and let your cousins ​​see them. If they are willing, you can marry them. If not, stay and help your mother and others with the work, and let your mother and others train them. After all, girls are more careful when doing housework. It will be easier for your mother and others.

Of course, let your uncle and his family handle the details. I guess they don't want to find a mediocre daughter-in-law.

But the type of wife you choose also depends on the husband's ability. Everything has two sides. If the husband is weak and the wife is strong, either the family is unstable or she can assist the husband in managing the family. If the husband is strong and the wife is weak, either the husband is more tired or the family is in order. "

Cheng Zongyang listened carefully to what his father said and nodded from time to time to show his agreement.

"Your eldest cousin Zhenyuan has an honest character, but he can't marry a mediocre wife. After all, he is the eldest son, and he needs to find a wife who can manage the backyard and the future children. If two of them are honest and weak, how can they discipline the children? Either one will be rebellious, or both will have the same temperament, and then it will be a disaster.

Your second cousin Zhendong is diligent in his work and decisive in his words and deeds. You also saw Zhendong's situation when the village beat the refugees. This is the opposite of his mother's character. He will be able to make decisions in the future, so don't worry.

So bring back a few more girls and let them take a look. Your aunt and the others are also anxious."

Cheng Zongyang also benefited a lot from listening to his father talk about these experiences.

"Dad, don't worry. My future wife will definitely be shown to you and mom. If she doesn't suit, we can just change her." Cheng Zongyang smiled.

"What nonsense are you talking about? You can know a person's face but not his heart. How can we tell their character at this moment? You have to see for yourself. It's better to find a weak one. You can teach her after marrying her. If she is strong by nature, it will be difficult to change. When the strong are against the strong, can you give in?
Okay, you can handle it yourself. Your mother and your second aunt are both capable of managing affairs and the household, and they are also good at knowing how to handle things. Your grandfather also approves of them. "

Cheng Zongyang became interested, and after finishing the porridge in his bowl, he said excitedly: "Dad, I still don't know anything about my grandfather's generation. Find some time to tell me about it, so that I can at least know where our family is."

"We are just an ordinary farmer, why do we have so many problems? Just like you and your brother, if you split up in the future, just split it up like this, what's the big deal? Go away, you're delaying my work." Cheng Guanghai began to dislike him.

Cheng Zongyang pouted, his parents looked the same. They were very happy when they first saw him, but gradually they became disgusted and abandoned.

Cheng Zongyang did not linger, and stood up and said, "I remember. There are many refugees in the county, I will find some. You can prepare a few more bamboo houses here."

"I know. Your second uncle has already demonstrated it this morning. You don't have to worry about these things, just focus on improving your strength." Cheng Guanghai waved his hand.

These elders are just for show, and the future will still be filled with young people, so naturally they have to supervise them.
