Starting from the imperial palace guards, his clones spread all over the world

Zhang You then said:

“Now, the Taiping Dao is not short of money or people.”

“The only thing lacking is talent.”

“Talent is divided into civil and military. Civil talent is for management, and military talent is for guarding.”

“Within the Taiping Dao, there are actually quite a few civil talents, but they have not been promoted or discovered, and they do not hold important positions.”

“This has led to the Taiping Dao being disorganized, mismanaged, and having chaotic accounts.”

“As for military talent, the Taiping Dao is very scarce.”

“Currently, within the Taiping Dao, there are many martial artists from the Lu Family Village, and some martial artists have come to join. However, most of them are at the ninth or eighth rank.”

“As for seventh-rank martial artists, besides Miao Yuanzheng, there is also a swordsman who has recently joined. But whether that person is loyal to the Taiping Dao remains to be tested.”

“As for sixth-rank martial artists, there are none at all.”

“In the end, it is still because the Taiping Dao has developed too rapidly, leading to an unstable foundation.”

Liang Jin nodded slightly.

He knew that what Zhang You was saying was the predicament currently facing the Taiping Dao.

If the foundation is not laid well, the Taiping Dao may become strong on the outside but weak on the inside.

Liang Jin originally planned to advance into the state capital as soon as possible and completely eliminate the threat of the Yang family first.

Although the Yang family has not yet figured out the true intentions of the Taiping Dao.

But there are no airtight walls in the world.

After two consecutive groups of people came to Taiyang County and failed to return alive, the Yang family will take action even if they are slow to react.

But as it stands now, stabilizing the foundation of the Taiping Dao is imminent, and this matter must be dealt with first.

So Liang Jin said to Zhang You:

“Zhang You, I appoint you as the Libationer of Fangtou, specifically in charge of the selection and appointment of internal civil talents within the Taiping Dao.”

“As for the martial artists, I will find a way.”

Zhang You was slightly stunned.

At this moment, Zhang You could not help but feel grateful.

He was originally just a clerk, and he thought that with his background, being a staff member for a county magistrate was already the highlight of his life.

But now, he was actually able to plan and offer advice for the Taiping Dao, which was now in full swing, and he was even being valued.

This made Zhang You feel a little overwhelmed.

After all, he had always believed that the Taiping Dao had a great future.

Zhang You took a deep breath and said solemnly:

“Zhang You will certainly not fail his mission.”

He also decided to devote himself to doing this well, so that his position in the Taiping Dao would be stable.

Liang Jin nodded.

Then, he looked at Miao Yuanzheng:

“What do you think about the matter of martial artists?”

Miao Yuanzheng replied:

“Martial artists in the world either serve the imperial court or are taken in by various sects and forces.”

“It is not realistic for us to compete with them for martial artists, even with talisman water.”

“Currently, many martial arts sects within Qing Province have also expressed goodwill to the Taiping Dao, hoping to obtain talisman water to treat the epidemic diseases of their disciples.”

“But they are unwilling to join the Taiping Dao.”

“If they are unable to obtain talisman water because they do not join the Dao, I am afraid that over time, they will inevitably resort to forcibly plundering the talisman water.”

“This will damage the relationship between the Taiping Dao and those martial arts sects, and even turn them into enemies.”

“There are some folk martial artists, but these people often dislike restraint, are unruly, and difficult to tame.”

“They may temporarily join the Taiping Dao because of the talisman water, but they will also leave the Taiping Dao after their illnesses are cured, and their loyalty cannot be guaranteed.”

“The best way is still internal training.”

“But this is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it is difficult to see results in the short term.”

Liang Jin nodded slightly.

The scale of the Taiping Dao has already begun to take shape.

At this time, it is too late to train martial artists, and it is difficult to recruit suitable talents even if they are recruited.

Especially experts, who are extremely scarce.

Now even seventh-rank martial artists are hard to come by, let alone sixth-rank ones.

Liang Jin asked:

“Do you know any martial artists? Can you make them loyal to the Taiping Dao?”

Miao Yuanzheng replied:

“Yes.”

“But I need to go and persuade them in person.”

“But if I leave, the guard work around the Great Virtuous Teacher will be unavailable in the short term.”

Miao Yuanzheng knew that Liang Jin's martial arts were not weak.

But Liang Jin is, after all, the leader of the Taiping Dao and cannot do everything himself.

If there is a lack of decent bodyguards, then he can only face the danger himself, and there is no one to help delay and create opportunities to escape.

Liang Jin smiled:

“This matter is fine, you can go.”

Miao Yuanzheng could only nod in agreement:

“I will go and do it.”

Miao Yuanzheng never procrastinates, and he was about to turn around and leave after he finished speaking.

Liang Jin suddenly spoke:

“Wait.”

Miao Yuanzheng stopped and looked at Liang Jin in confusion.

Liang Jin threw an object towards Miao Yuanzheng, who reached out to catch it and saw that it was actually a pill.

Liang Jin said:

“You should carry this pill with you.”

“If you encounter a strong enemy, taking it may save your life.”

This pill is the 【Tiger Subduing Pill】.

After taking the Tiger Subduing Pill, the internal strength will be increased to a certain extent in a short period of time.

The last time Yang Jingye's subordinates attacked Liang Jin, they mentioned some things about Miao Yuanzheng, including a Heaven and Earth Hall.

Liang Jin does not know what the Heaven and Earth Hall is, and he has not asked Miao Yuanzheng.

Miao Yuanzheng's origins are also very mysterious, and no one knows.

A dignified seventh-rank martial artist could have formed a small force and lived comfortably as a local emperor in a small place.

But Miao Yuanzheng came to Yongle Town in Taiyang County to live in seclusion, marry a wife, and have children.

If he had not taken his seriously ill son to Lu Family Village to ask for talisman water, no one would have known that he was a martial artist.

Miao Yuanzheng has his past, but he has never said it, and Liang Jin knows that he has unspeakable secrets.

Now that Miao Yuanzheng is going on a long journey, Liang Jin does not want him to die outside.

Miao Yuanzheng put away the Tiger Subduing Pill, bowed solemnly to Liang Jin, and then turned and left.

The newest and most complete novels are available on Liu Jiu Shu Ba!

Liang Jin also took a sedan chair and returned to his new residence in Taiyang City.

Later in the evening, Lu Qiannan came to report on Yang Jing's situation.

From Yang Jing's mouth, she did get a lot of Yang family secrets.

These secrets are of great value, especially since they also involve some shady businesses that cannot be seen in the light.

But whether these things are true, Lu Qiannan has already arranged for loyal people in the Taiping Dao to verify.

Liang Jin did not spend too much thought on this.

Even if he has mastered the evidence of Yang's family's crimes, it is not easy to bring them down.

Qiu Zhuo had already submitted a memorial to the prefectural government, reporting Yang's family's rebellion.

But until now, there has been no follow-up.

It can be seen that even the prefect does not dare to easily move the Yang family.

It is certainly important to collect evidence of Yang's family's crimes.

But these evidences can only play a role after Yang's family has lost its value to the backers behind them.

Therefore, the key now is to strengthen the power and completely destroy the value of the Yang family.

The greatest value of the Yang family is its strong ability to make money.

Now that the Taiping Dao has been constantly harassing the Yang family's business, it will produce important effects before long.

“By the way, Qiannan, don't go back tonight.”

“Go to my room, I will take you to practice kung fu in bed.”

“From now on, come to me every night to practice kung fu together.”

As Liang Jin said, he walked towards the bedroom.

Lu Qiannan did not react for a while when she heard this.

When she came back to her senses, her face turned red instantly, and she was at a loss.

Practice…kung fu in bed?

Sleeping together?

Lu Qiannan never expected that Liang Jin would make such a request to her!

She has always respected Liang Jin and regarded him as a spiritual leader, and has never had any improper thoughts.

But now…

Lu Qiannan instantly fell into great entanglement:

“How could he…do this?”

Liang Jin is very handsome, and he is also the leader of the Taiping Dao, his martial arts are also high, and he is also the person she admires.

Logically speaking, he is indeed a good match.

If she combines with him… Lu Qiannan would not only not feel that she is at a disadvantage, but would also feel that she is fortunate to have climbed up to him.

But…all of this is too sudden!

Lu Qiannan was completely unprepared.

Her heart was pounding like a deer, her mind was in a mess, and she didn't know what to do.

Especially what puzzled her the most was that she didn't know whether she felt disgusted or happy at this time.

She should be disgusted, but at this time, she couldn't feel any disgust in her heart.

She shouldn't be happy, but she was inexplicably a little excited.

After a long time.

She gritted her teeth and stamped her feet, and followed her.

Just consider… it as dedicating herself to the Yellow Heaven.

After all, she could not refuse any request from the Great Virtuous Teacher.

Soon.

Lu Qiannan walked into Liang Jin's bedroom.

But as soon as she entered, she felt a chill sweeping through her body.

This bedroom was surprisingly cold.

When Lu Qiannan looked intently, she saw a strange bed in the bedroom.

This bed was like ice and jade, crystal clear.

Under the light of the candle, it was radiant and very beautiful.

The bed was exquisitely carved, but there were no quilts on the bed.

And the rich chill emanated from this strange bed.

Needless to say, this bed must be extremely cold.

Liang Jin was already lying on the bed.

He patted the side of his body at Lu Qiannan:

“What are you still doing standing there?”

“Hurry up and get into bed.”

“This bed is just enough for two people to lie down, come lie down next to me, I will teach you how to practice kung fu.”

Lu Qiannan was in a daze for a moment.

She was still hesitating whether to take off her clothes.

But when she saw that Liang Jin was fully dressed, she knew the answer.

“Great Virtuous Teacher, are you really teaching me kung fu?”

Lu Qiannan faintly felt that she might have misunderstood the Great Virtuous Teacher just now.
