The sun is shining brightly, in front of the Zhang Family Courtyard
Zhang Jian was sweating profusely. He stood in front of the plum blossom piles standing on the ground, moving quickly, smoothly and swiftly.
After Tiangang's inner breath broke through the bottleneck in the Yangyuan stage, Zhang Jian also followed Zhang Yi's suggestion and asked Jian Yao for advice on the body-building method of Sanyang Zhuang.
After the internal training method reached his expected progress as scheduled, Zhang Jian was naturally willing to get involved in the external training method.
If he had this talent, he would naturally be willing to cultivate both internally and externally.
On the high platform, several tough bankers looked at this scene in surprise. They could all see that Zhang Jian was making rapid progress.
In just a few days, the Sanyang pile has already stood very firmly.
This kind of talent and talent is also very rare among martial arts practitioners.
In fact, this was the result of Zhang Jian deliberately hiding his clumsiness.
The fire apricot integrated into his body and helped him exercise the Yi Jing, and his physique had completely changed.
The "Tiangang Boy's Skill" is running in the body, and an astonishing hot power surges in the meridians. There is also a faint red thunder spark. There is a magnificent power like a volcano lurking in the body. As the three Yang piles vibrate the skin, muscles and bones, It spreads into the limbs and bones to quickly temper and stretch the muscles and bones.
…
The entrance to Zhang's house soon became lively.
Rumors arose in Fengxi County at some point that the Zhang family owned Mishan, and Mianshan was bigger than Shuangfengshan behind Fengxi.
Especially the copper coins and silver taels were pulled out one cart at a time, enough to form a team of several miles.
This makes the Zhang family feel like they are the target of public criticism.
This kind of rumor made many disciples of the Zhang family very angry.
This kind of rumor spread at this time, and it was obvious that someone was targeting the Zhang family.
Outside Fengxi County, the flow of refugees is increasing. If it causes unrest, the Zhang family's industry will be easily affected.
After the rumors spread, several elders of the Zhang family couldn't sit still and returned to the Zhang family one after another, asking Zhang Yina to make the decision to come up with a charter so that the rumors could not continue to spread and affect the normal operation of the Zhang family.
"Old ladies, don't worry. I know who spread this rumor, but my nephew is sure that if he steals the chicken, he will lose the rice!"
"Patriarch, with your words, we can rest assured!"
"Yes, this person who spreads the rumors has a very evil heart. He is too hateful and we cannot let him off lightly!"
Zhang Jian stood at the door and saw several octogenarians walking out of the hall with the support of several middle-aged men.
"Third uncle, fourth uncle, Uncle Qi, Uncle Yu!"
Seeing these people, Zhang Jian smiled and said hello.
"It turns out to be Brother Jian!"
Several old men raised their heads at this time, and couldn't help but smile on their faces.
However, Zhang Jian didn't talk to the elder for long. Zhang Yi called him over and ordered him to deal with the matter.
When Zhang Jian walked into the hall, Zhang Yi was drinking tea from a teacup. He looked calm and didn't seem to be worried about the rumors outside at all.
"Father!"
Zhang Jian spoke slightly first.
Zhang Yi gently put down the tea cup in his hand and said in a relaxed tone.
"You already know the rumors outside. I want to know, what do you think?"
This is a test, or it may be a teaching.
The meaning revealed in it is self-evident.
Zhang Jian's heart moved secretly, but he just smiled.
"Father, isn't it great that someone is looking after our Zhang family?"
Zhang Yi paused and said, "What do you think?"
Zhang Jian said calmly: "My father has been strengthening my Zhang family's foundation over the years. Not to mention the secret power that our Zhang family has expanded to now, on the surface it is actually as good as those of the prominent families in the county, especially among the six uncles and Jinshis." After that, in other words, we are actually not afraid of some small rumors!"
"Of all the big families, who doesn't have any wealth at all?"
"On the contrary, we can also use these rumors to increase the influence of my Zhang family to a higher level!"
"Oh, really? Why didn't my father find out?" Zhang Yi remained calm.
"Father is going to take an exam to test the child!"
Zhang Jian smiled slightly.
"Now that the refugee wave is approaching, those who spread rumors just want to use this opportunity to attack the Zhang family, but the Zhang family can also use this opportunity to win over people's hearts and stabilize the basic base of my Zhang family!"
"We can also spread the news and say that the Zhang family is going to set up a barrel wheel workshop and a water mill workshop by the river, and is willing to accept some young and strong refugees and provide work in exchange for relief!"
"The method is good, but how many refugees can be gathered in this way?"
Zhang Yi shook his head.
Zhang Jian smiled slyly and said: "But we can also use this opportunity to set up a guard team with money and effort under the banner of protecting the caravan and the villagers. This is also to prevent bandits!"
Hearing this, Zhang Yi immediately glared at Zhang Jian and scolded.
"You're so brave! Do you know that setting up such an armed guard privately will lead to beheading!"
Zhang Jian argued: "Father, we are not recruiting troops privately. We are here to prevent the refugees and bandits from attacking our Zhang family's foundation. I heard that many people around us have been disturbed by the refugees and bandits during this period. We set up a team like this." The escort team is also to help reduce the pressure on the court, and we will completely 'disband' ourselves afterwards!"
There was a strange look in Zhang Jian's eyes. The Daqian court actually did not allow local powerful men to recruit private soldiers. There were special provisions for this, but it was not without loopholes.
Whenever the local situation is turbulent and banditry is serious, local officials can temporarily recruit local people to form soldiers to suppress the banditry, or grant some wealthy families the right to form a bodyguard to a certain extent.
Especially since the Zhang family also has a county captain who holds military power.
It’s not difficult to adapt.
Zhang Yi stroked his beard slightly, glanced at Zhang Jian and said, "Will it really 'disband' on its own?"
Zhang Jian smiled and said: "It's absolutely true!"
Zhang Yi nodded: "That's good, but although this matter can't hurt us, you must pay attention to safety. There have been some people with bad intentions around the Zhang family recently. They are just crazy and we still need to deal with them." Ichiban!"
Speaking of this, Zhang Yi's eyes felt a chill.
Zhang Jian was a little eager to try it. He had recently achieved some success in the Tiangang Boy Kung Fu, so he inevitably wanted to practice it, but he quickly suppressed this distracting thought.
It's not Gou, but if you have this ability to show off, you might as well go to Zhang Yi's study and read a few books.
Recently, he has been investigating the origin of the unknown runes in the scroll.
Now there are clues.
He found a similar existence in Zhang Yi's collection of books, called ancient bronze inscriptions. It is said to be a text created by the ancient gods to explain the principles of heaven and earth, and has been circulated for ancient times.
Fortunately, there are some classics related to ancient bronze inscriptions in Zhang Yi's collection, but they are fragmented, so Zhang Jian can only cheer up and piece them together by himself.
