Chapter 244 Wujimen
"With our current financial resources, we can still train some iron-clad apprentices and masters, but it is unrealistic to train iron-clad apprentices and masters in large quantities, and to create top-notch warriors. Moreover, it takes a long time to train, and it cannot be done in a short period of time." Zuo Le quickly shook his head when he heard this.
"It is definitely unrealistic to want to build a large number of troops like the Governor's Office. That is the power of a state, and we are just a small county. However, each state has its own problems. Pang Zhiyuan wants to control everything, and he needs troops everywhere. Even if he becomes a martial arts master in the future and wants to avenge his nephew and establish his prestige in Fangqiao County, the power he can allocate is limited, and it is impossible to send all of them to Fangqiao County.
So I didn't plan to leap at it and train a group of soldiers who could compete with the army of the Governor's Office in a short period of time. But in troubled times, strength is the key, and this step must be taken as soon as possible.
I now have a lot of financial resources, even bone refining secret medicine, the equivalent of the Yuan Dan, and other resources. There won't be any problems with the short-term supply, but in the long run, it will definitely depend on everyone's joint efforts to earn it, and we need to gather the strength of the whole county to cultivate it. "Qin Ziling said.
"There are quite a few secret bone-refining medicines and Yuan-transforming pills!" Zuo Le and Zheng Xinghan's eyes almost popped out when they heard this.
Only Xiao Qing and Xia Yan smiled without saying anything.
After successively killing the two elders of Biyun Sect, the deputy sect leader, the head of Hou Family and others, it would be strange if he didn’t have a lot of resources at hand!
"As for time." Qin Ziling ignored the surprised expressions of Zuo Le and Zheng Xinghan, and touched his chin, saying: "Life and death fighting is the best training for warriors, and it is also the fastest way to stimulate and improve potential.
Once, twice, three times...even hundreds of times, facing the threat of death, hovering on the edge of life and death, constantly honing the martial arts, constantly stimulating people's potential, coupled with sufficient and high-quality resources, will greatly shorten the time of practice. "
This time, let alone Zuo Le and Zheng Xinghan, even Xiao Qing and Xia Yan were stunned. Their hair stood on end and a chill kept rising from the bottom of their hearts.
Who doesn't know that fighting between life and death is the best way to temper a warrior!
But surviving one or two life-and-death battles is luck. What about the third or fourth time? It is impossible to be so lucky every time.
Just like everyone knows that there are good things hidden in the Wuyang Mountains, but how many people have the courage to go in every year? How many of those who go in come out alive?
If Qin Ziling adopted such radical and cruel methods, who knows how many people would be eliminated and how many lives would be lost in exchange for a strong man!
This is really too cruel, and too unlike Qin Ziling's style.
"I will personally take charge of the overall situation and take action when they are in the most critical situation and their lives are hanging by a thread. Once I take action, it means that they have failed once. If the number of failures reaches a certain level, they will be eliminated and will no longer receive further training from me.
As for those who have failed the least and have shown the greatest potential, I will make time to personally train and guide them, and I will also provide the greatest possible support in terms of resources. " Qin Ziling seemed not to notice the reactions of the crowd and continued.
"Huh!" Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, but then they all looked incredulous.
"According to what you said, there must be quite a few people being cultivated. How can you take care of them all by yourself? And you yourself also need to practice, so how can you have the time to pay attention to them all the time?" Zuo Le asked first.
"Master Zuo, don't worry about this. I have my own way. Of course, the number of people still needs to be controlled. At the beginning, you will select from various families in Fangqiao County. These people must first have good morals, be loyal and reliable. Secondly, it is best if they come from ordinary families and have a cultivation level of at least the cowhide level. Then I will eliminate them layer by layer." Qin Ziling replied.
After Qin Ziling finished speaking, the study became very quiet.
Everyone was digesting and thinking about Qin Ziling's words.
"I think to do this, we must first establish a sect." Zuo Le said after a long time.
"Establish a sect?" Qin Ziling frowned slightly.
"That's right. In the past, you were just making small moves, but you know all of us well, and we all have a foundation of affection, so even if you don't talk about establishing a sect, we will still respect you and listen to your orders.
But this time you want to do it bigger. The people joining in are all from various families with complex backgrounds. There is no unified sect and no unified rules, so everyone will be like a pile of loose sand.
Once a strong enemy comes, I'm afraid they will scatter immediately. Only by establishing a sect, and treating the sect as a home, will everyone fight to protect it, and you are the head of this home. " Zuo Le said seriously.
"That's right. Only by establishing a sect and setting its rules can everyone be truly on the same boat. Your huge amount of money, resources and efforts will be worth it." Xiao Qing nodded.
Qin Ziling stroked his chin, pondering in silence.
Of course he knew the importance of establishing a sect and having a clear organization, but he was used to being a hands-off boss, and he always felt that establishing a sect all at once was too much of a step.
However, in this world, he already has his beloved family, woman, and friends. It is impossible for him to stay out of trouble. To keep all of this, he not only needs to have strong strength himself, but also needs to build a powerful force.
Of course, if he wants to go further in the future, he will also need a powerful force that can work for him and provide various resources including intelligence. It is definitely impossible for him to do it alone.
"Okay!" Qin Ziling nodded finally.
Seeing Qin Ziling nod, everyone in the study suddenly became excited, their eyes flashing with anticipation and excitement .
"What's the name of our sect?" Zheng Xinghan asked first.
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Qin Ziling.
"From Wuji comes Taiji. When Taiji moves, Yang is born. When it moves to the extreme, it becomes quiet. When it is quiet, Yin is born. When it is quiet to the extreme, it moves again. One movement and one quiet are each other's roots. Yin and Yang are separated, and the two poles are established. Yang changes and Yin combines, and water, fire, wood, metal and earth are born. The five elements are distributed in order, and the four seasons run. The five elements are one Yin and Yang, and Yin and Yang are one Taiji. Taiji is originally Wuji!"
Seeing everyone looking at him, Qin Ziling inexplicably recalled the changes that occurred when the five elements' strength was fully combined, and these words naturally emerged in his mind.
"Wujimen!" Qin Ziling blurted out.
"Wujimen?" Everyone was slightly stunned, with puzzled looks on their faces, not understanding what this meant.
"The beginning of this vast universe is called Wuji, and Wuji evolved all things in the world." Qin Ziling said.
"What a good name! What a good name!" After hearing Qin Ziling's explanation, everyone was shocked and began to praise him.
After praising him repeatedly, everyone looked at each other, and then, as if they had telepathic connection, they stood up together and knelt on one knee to greet him.
"Okay, what's our relationship? Stop it." Qin Ziling said as he waved his hand and a gentle force was released, supporting everyone.
The crowd was held up by the power, looked at each other helplessly, and then all bowed to Qin Ziling and said, "Greetings, Master."
Qin Ziling had no choice but to bow and say, "Sit down, everyone. The sect has been initially established, but you know that my energy is mainly focused on cultivation, and it is unlikely that I will be distracted to take care of such a large pile of things. The affairs of the sect mainly rely on you to manage and share the burden."
"Of course. I'm old now, and my potential for advancement is very limited. Even if you don't tell me, I would have to take on the responsibility of taking charge of the sect's daily trivial matters." Zuo Le said with a smile.
"Well, since we have decided to establish a sect, let's first preliminarily determine the organizational framework and positions." Qin Ziling said.
"That's right." Everyone nodded.
Next, everyone got together to discuss and quickly decided on a preliminary organizational framework.
…
In the blink of an eye, winter goes and spring comes, spring goes and summer comes.
The originally desolate fields outside Fangqiao County are now covered with golden crops.
The fields are full of busy farmers, and their faces are filled with the joy of the harvest.
On the official road, there was a constant stream of vehicles and people coming and going, and many of the caravans and merchant caravans were from other places.
Because in the more than one year since Xiao Qing took office as the county magistrate, Fangliao County has undergone earth-shaking changes. Not only is the entire Fangliao County peaceful, with no bandits or robberies, even petty thefts are rare. It can almost be said that no one picks up things on the streets and no one locks their doors at night. The county is prosperous and all industries are thriving.
So now, the amount of goods entering and leaving Fangqiao County every day is very large.
Moreover, Fangliao County has recently launched several new and interesting products, the most famous of which is the "Flower" series of perfumes and soaps produced by the "Huayun" powder and rouge shop.
The former is packed in a very exquisite small crystal bottle and is extremely expensive. Only real dignitaries can afford it.
The latter is relatively cheap, but only people from wealthy families can afford it.
At first, these two items only became popular among the wealthy families in Fangqiao County, and then quickly spread to the neighboring Qinghe County, and recently have spread to almost all counties in Xiyunzhou.
The expensive "Flower" series of perfumes are produced in very limited quantities, so that it is hard to find a bottle in the market, which makes it even more mysterious and precious, making the ladies who can buy it proud and competing with each other. Even recently, when the women of the wealthy families get together , the most talked about thing among them is the "Flower" series of perfumes.
The production of soap is only relatively large, and is currently in short supply. As a result, caravans come from all over the place every day and wait in front of the door of the "Hua Yun" powder and rouge shop.
Nowadays, many of the caravans coming from other places on the official road come here for the perfumes and soaps from the "Hua Yun" powder and rouge shop.
This brought extremely considerable income to the "Huayun" powder and rouge shop, which was simply making a fortune every day.
The situation of the "Hua Yun" Powder and Rouge Shop naturally aroused the envy of some powerful forces, who wanted to seize the secret recipe or forcibly acquire the "Hua Yun" Powder and Rouge Shop.
If these people came for business, there would be no problem, but they returned empty-handed.
If someone comes and wants to seize the secret recipe directly or bully the weak, he will either be killed or his cultivation will be destroyed and he will be thrown into a cell.
In this way, after dozens of people were involved, the outside world finally knew that the owner behind the "Hua Yun" powder and rouge shop was the county magistrate Xiao Qing, and gradually no one dared to target the "Hua Yun" powder and rouge shop anymore.
