"this?"
Arriving at the gate of Fu Wuyi Academy, Zhang Kun was a little dumbfounded.
It's not that there are no people accepted here, but there are too many competitors and the questioning is too detailed.
Everywhere you can see some scrawny men and women in ragged clothes, bringing their children, and crowding the door.
Someone nearby was registering an inquiry on the long case...
Looking from a distance, a poor couple led a seven or eight-year-old child, who was barefoot and had not much flesh on his body, into the door.
As soon as they stepped through the door, the woman squatted on the ground and cried loudly.
"Why are you crying? My child has entered the free school. He will be able to read and learn skills in the future..."
"Even if I can't learn any powerful martial arts, I can still make a living by accounting for people and transporting goods, and I won't starve to death."
The man comforted his wife in a low voice and touched the child's head with a strong tone.
"..."
Zhang Kun looked blankly at the poor little guys who couldn't bear to see them, and suddenly he didn't have the slightest confidence that he would be able to grab an "enrollment" spot.
Turning to look at Li Xiaowan, the other person was also at a loss, with a bitter look on his face.
Zhang Kun took out two pennies, stuffed them into the hands of a middle-aged man watching the fun next to him, and asked with a smile: "Brother, is Father Wu Yixue so lively every day?"
This man was slightly neatly dressed, had a gentle face, and looked a little knowledgeable.
"How can there be? Today, April 19th, is the time of Grain Rain. For the past few days, the Yuanshun Escort Bureau has been hampered by rain and will not travel. It is considered the most leisurely time, and the guys have time to farm outside the city...
Therefore, Mr. Wang's bodyguard will recruit students at this time every year.
In addition, those who have achieved academic success can also choose to start their careers on this day and join the escort agency.
A truly outstanding student may become a bodyguard or a big shot..."
The middle-aged man took the two copper coins, looked happy, and quietly put them into his sleeves with a very enthusiastic attitude.
After saying a few words, he asked: "Brother, do you want to send your sister to a free school? She is a little older, so I'm afraid it will be a bit difficult.
In fact, when girls go to study and graduate, they will probably be assigned embroidery, sewing or starching jobs, which are not very interesting. If you really can't survive, you can try..."
"Why don't I want to enroll?"
Zhang Kun laughed when he heard this.
He had just been listening for a while and knew that in his father's Wuyi School, in addition to teaching literacy, he also taught arithmetic and martial arts, which was a bit complicated.
If you can sneak in, it's actually pretty good.
You can really learn a skill.
"Brother is joking, you are so old, you can't get into the free school. However, seeing that you are strong and well-spoken, you should have no worries about making a living.
If that doesn't work, you might as well go directly to the escort agency to work as a handyman, or go to a warehouse or a trading house to find work... Could it be that the guy is from out of town? "
This man's mind was spinning quickly, and he suddenly seemed to realize something, his eyes hesitant.
If he is an outsider and his identity is unknown, he is likely to be in trouble... At this time, it is not easy to ask about my father Wu Yixue.
Zhang Kun seemed unaware of the subtle change in the middle-aged man's attitude, and still asked with a smile: "Can't I just join the Yuanshun Escort Agency? Even if I can't become an escort, I can just be an escort."
"puff……"
This time, the middle-aged man didn't answer. A fat man carrying a birdcage next to him laughed: "It's not that I underestimate you, brother, the Yuanshun Escort Agency has been very prosperous since Mr. Wang became famous. very.
There are not a thousand but hundreds of people who think about their courage and want to join the escort agency. Especially these poor young people with no background in the imperial city regard Yuanshun and Huiyou Escort Agency as their first targets.
You have no reputation in the world, nor do you have any unique martial arts... Tsk tsk, even if you go to do odd jobs, no one will take you. "
The fat man's voice was a bit loud, and everyone around him heard it and burst into laughter.
Some men and women, bent over by the fatigue of life, looked over with numb eyes, even showing a trace of pity.
There's no malice, just a bit of superiority...
Hearing this, Zhang Kun understood a little.
If we say that the soldiers in each branch of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division, as well as the police officers in the patrol camp, can be regarded as people in the system.
Then, large-scale escort agencies such as Huiyou and Yuanshun Escort Agency that integrate multiple businesses are the so-called "Top 500" enterprises in later generations.
Not only do they escort goods and food across the country, they also take care of security tasks at the homes of dignitaries...
Even when paying taxes and money to local governments and escorting business transactions with other countries, these powerful escorts from the Escort Bureau are sometimes asked to escort them, and they must not be taken lightly.
Especially the head escort of the escort bureau. Putting aside his martial arts skills, calling him a friend all over the world is definitely not flattering.
With a flag and a last name, you can travel through white mountains and dark waters...
Anyone who wants to join this kind of escort agency will naturally have to overcome the threshold.
The escorts in this kind of escort agency come from all over the country, and they generally have several skills.
After the escorts have been escorting for a few times, not to mention drinking from large bowls and eating large pieces of meat, at least they will not be short of money and status.
No matter who you are, if you go out and see anyone, you will be addressed as such-and-such master.
Compared with the department directors and managers of later generations of Fortune 500 companies, they are more prestigious.
As for the escort in the escort agency, it can be compared to the backbone of the business... When traveling, he acts as a scout and explores the road.
As the vanguard of the first wave to meet the enemy, if you don't have the ability, you can only become cannon fodder.
Therefore, a job like a tripper, which sounds like a very low-level position, is actually not something that ordinary people can do.
Being proficient in boxing skills and being able to fight and run is a hard target.
Indeed, as the fat man said, if ordinary people get in, it would be great to be a handyman.
However, Zhang Kun was absolutely unwilling.
If you join the escort agency, you will be a handyman, carrying bags every day, and doing hard work under the orders of others?
Not to mention whether the safety issue can be guaranteed, there is definitely no way to learn martial arts.
Feeling the clothes moving around his lower back, Zhang Kun turned around and saw that Li Xiaowan's head had almost shrunk into the clothes, and she looked a little panicked.
These days passed like a frightened bird. Now being looked at by many people, this guy panicked again.
'It seems that if you want to follow the right path and join the Father Wuyi School, it is impossible. One is that the identity issue cannot withstand scrutiny, and the other is that you are too old and others will not accept it. In this case...'
Zhang Kun glanced around, ignoring the fat man, and looked to the other side. There were three young people there, walking out of Fuwuyi School talking and laughing.
The first one was tall, with his chest puffed out and looking proud.
There were people coming up to say hello all around, very enthusiastically.
"Brother Tian, I started training today. If I join Yuanshun in the future, my future will be limitless."
"Brother Tian, can you help my boy go and say a good word to Master Hong? Although Qing'er is thin, he is not weak in strength and is a good young man for practicing martial arts..."
"Xiaotian, I am your Uncle Li, look after my child."
Those who cheered, gathered around a dozen people, and those with children in tow came forward to please them.
"Go, go. Anyone who wants to enter the Free School should go to the teachings at the door. I can't help you."
The leading young man named Xiaotian stretched out his hand to pull it away. Several villagers staggered back with ugly expressions on their faces, but no one dared to say anything.
Zhang Kun raised his eyebrows slightly. This man was quite strong. Judging from his ability to push people, his physique should be around 14 to 15 points.
"That's Tian Qianli. His father is a tenant of the Wang family. He has been through hardships all his life, but he never expected to give birth to a good son.
I heard that he performed extremely well in his father's martial arts studies. Liuhe Zhuang entered the hall, and he had mastered the thirty-six boxing postures, and he was almost touching the edge of the combined force. You're only eighteen years old, you're going to be really amazing in the future, tsk tsk. "
Perhaps for the sake of the two copper coins, the middle-aged man explained: "The two people around Tian Qianli, the tall and thin one is called Tan Heishan, and the short and stocky one is Zhong Dali, who are also eighteen years old this year.
They are the outstanding students who are graduating from Fu Wuyi School this time. They all have solid skills and proficient boxing skills. Although they are not as good as Tian Qianli, they are still extraordinary. After joining Yuanshun, he should be expected to serve as a waiter. "
'This is an outstanding graduate of the voluntary school. '
Zhang Kun automatically changed his understanding in his heart.
"How long have they been practicing?"
"It's been four years, maybe five years... Not everyone is qualified to learn the Liuhe Zhuang Kung Fu handed down from Mr. Wang's bodyguard. When they entered school, they were favored by the Yi Xue Jiao Yu.
Mr. Hong, the old bodyguard, sits in the volunteer school all year round and teaches students. He has a pair of very good eyes and can hardly make mistakes when seeing people. "
"Thank you for clearing up the confusion." Zhang Kun cupped his hands and was a little puzzled, "Isn't the combination of boxing skills very powerful? Why do I think that Tian Qianli looks down on others?"
"Don't say that, it won't be good if he hears it." The lean middle-aged man quickly bent down and said dissatisfied: "Although I don't practice martial arts, I have heard about the combined force of boxing techniques.
It was the concentration of all the strength of the whole body, and even four or five strong men were no match for them when they surrounded them, and they were easily defeated...
In fact, some martial arts masters from various provinces who come to Beijing to seek a living are almost at this level.
After all, there are only a few martial arts masters who can truly practice steel and iron bones. In the Yuanshun Escort Agency, only half of the more than thirty escort masters have such achievements. "
"I see, it's really amazing."
Zhang Kun understood. He remembered that when he signed up for the Sanda class, the coach once said that if you really master your boxing skills and understand the method of transporting force, you can integrate your whole body's strength into one.
Random strikes, punches and kicks are all the strength of the whole body, which is called full strength.
This kind of boxer can already participate in professional competitions.
Who wins and who loses depends on each person's strength and reaction.
This volunteer graduate named Tian Qianli is proficient in stance skills and is on the verge of joining forces... In other words, he is considered a leader among amateur boxers and is almost on the verge of becoming a professional boxer.
However, looking at every move Qianli Tian made, the rules were strict and seemed quite rigid... I guess it was because he had practiced too many routines and had little actual combat experience.
In fact, it is not very strong.
Zhang Kun relied on the dragon energy to increase his points, and his Sanda was directly upgraded to the proficient level. Both his physique and agility reached 12 points. According to preliminary estimates of his strength, he can lift two hundred and forty kilograms of things. It seems to be stronger than that of a normal male. It's not much stronger.
However, when he took a closer look at the people around him, he found that these people were actually far behind him.
If we look at their attributes, their physical constitution is generally around seven to eight... a sub-healthy state is considered to be a compliment to them.
Some people's physical constitution is only five to six, and they cannot lift a hundred kilograms of weight.
Far from meeting the standards of a normal, healthy and strong man.
As for Nata Qianli, after four or five years of training, his strength alone is only about three hundred kilograms...
Zhang Kun secretly estimated his own strength level in his heart.
I know it well.
If you can't get into Fuwuyi School through formal channels, you can't get into Yuanshun Escort Agency either.
But he didn't give up.
After staring at Tian Qianli and Zhong Dali for a while, his eyes narrowed slightly.
'There is not only one way to achieve the goal, but this one is a good goal. '
Thinking of this, he didn't pay much attention to the hustle and bustle at the entrance of his father Wuyi School, and left quietly with Li Xiaowan.
