Wulin martial arts hegemony record

Chapter 363

The Xiaoyao faction is located in the south of Chengdu, in Guangdu County, on the banks of the Shu River, in the wild of Duguang. All the land grants from the sect were given to the Xiaoyao faction, and a lot more, resulting in a quarter of the land in the south of Guangdu County being owned by the Xiaoyao faction, and more than 400 peasant households renting land from the Xiaoyao faction.Except for some of the land grants obtained by the Xiaoyao faction, which were repurposed for other purposes due to special needs, the rest are all rice fields, with criss-crossed fields and fertile fields for dozens of miles.

It was spring at this time, and the strong laborers of every household were sowing seeds in the fields. The elderly sat by the fields to help, and the children played by the roadside. It was a lively and busy scene.

Therefore, Xue Chang slowed down his horse speed after entering his own territory.

After the farmers saw it, they all bowed to him. Their respect for Xue Chang was from the heart, not because of Xue Chang's power, nor was it entirely because the taxes he asked the farmers to pay to the Xiaoyao Sect were not high. , and because he opened the gates and sent disciples to teach martial arts to the farmers on the donated land, so most of the young and middle-aged farmers and children are practicing the martial arts of the Xiaoyao School. It can be said that they are Xue Chang's disciples and grandchildren.

Xue Chang returned the gift with a smile, and rode his horse forward. Passing through patches of farmland and canals, countless houses finally appeared in front of him. This was the center of the Xiaoyao faction's residence. It is not a thatched house made of earth, but real green bricks and green tiles, stone walls and cornices.On both sides of the main road paved with bluestone slabs are rows of shops and taverns. The pedestrians wandering on the main road are quite lively. It doesn't look like a sect residence at all, but more like a small town.

In fact, back then, Tiejianmen became rich in Bashu martial arts because of its good management, and the commercial activities in its gifted land were relatively prosperous. Half of these shops were built by merchants stationed in Tiejianmen's land gift.After the Xiaoyao faction took over its land, under the suggestion of Yin Bin and Wang Xuan, these merchants were allowed to reopen these shops, and because Xue Changguang opened the mountain gate and spread martial arts widely, there was an endless stream of martial arts people who came to the Xiaoyao faction to learn or compete It doesn't stop, and some simply live there for a long time, which makes the permanent population of the Xiaoyao faction garrison remain high. In addition, there is a 200-person garrison in the donated land...

Seeing the great business opportunities in the Xiaoyao faction, the Bashu merchants requested to settle in one after another. They bought a piece of land use right from the Xiaoyao faction (the land of the Xiaoyao faction was donated by the imperial court, and they had no right to sell the land to others), and built more Shops and inns.The commercial tax collected by the Xiaoyao faction is not high, but the shops in the gifted land are required to lower the price of goods, and since the Xiaoyao faction has a port in the station, the Flying Fish Gang, which has formed an alliance with the Xiaoyao faction, is stationed in it, and the price of transporting goods here is also low. The price is not high, which makes the merchants willing to lower the price of goods, and the drop in the price of goods continues to attract people from the surrounding areas to go to the market (Xiaoyao faction allows people to freely enter the donated land), and the gathering of the people further encourages more merchants to join came in, which led to the prosperity of commerce and trade in the Xiaoyao faction.

In the autumn of last year, Xue Chang sent Yin Bin to take the initiative to negotiate with the Guangdu county magistrate. Finally, the two sides reached an agreement. However, they cannot collect taxes, because the imperial court has long stipulated that the income in the donated land belongs to the sect, and there is no need to pay taxes. However, the Xiaoyao faction is willing to provide a certain amount of money to Guangdu County every year as a reward for the officials.

Since the officials entered the Xiaoyao faction, the yamen servants patrolled every day, and the disputes in the donated land have been significantly reduced, so the Xiaoyao faction has saved a lot of trouble.For Xue Chang, it is also eliminating the biggest hidden danger that may exist. After all, he has made the Xiaoyao faction so prosperous, gathers hundreds of people to practice martial arts every day, invites officials in, and puts the Xiaoyao faction under his supervision. To show that he has no other intentions, to avoid unwarranted accusations from the court ministers, this is the suggestion made by Luo Lanmeng's attendant eunuch Liu Yong.

Xue Chang did not ride on the stone avenue that runs through the small town where the Xiaoyao faction is stationed, but bypassed the small town on the side path.

Two miles away from the north of the town, surrounded by dense trees and green water, stands a majestic mountain villa in the center.

It used to be Tiejian Mountain Villa, but later Emperor Taixiang specially decreed that the magistrate of Chengdu enlisted labor to expand it and make it the residence of Princess Wei, so it was completed in just half a year.

Xue Chang rode through the woods when he met the patrolling guards, who immediately stopped to salute.

After Xue Chang returned the gift, he drove his horse across the uniquely shaped arch bridge to the main entrance of the manor. Above the main entrance was a gold plaque of "Xiaoyao School", which was written by Emperor Taixiang himself.

There is also a guard stationed at the gate, and they all come from the military camp not far from the villa.At the beginning, although Emperor Taixiang allowed Princess Wei to go to Bashu with her son-in-law, he was worried that it would be unsafe to live in the place, so he specially approved an army to guard it. ), the emperor's own sister also owns one, which is not considered a violation of the system.

When Xue Chang entered the main gate, a servant came to take away the horse and the barrel in his hand, but he refused.

Xue Chang walked all the way, the courtyard was deep, and the palace was several layers. After passing through several courtyards, he came to a courtyard gate guarded by guards. After stepping through the courtyard gate, an open green field appeared in front of him, full of green grass and wild flowers. Dwarf trees and shrubs, occasionally standing trees, swaying in the wind, butterflies flying, birds singing...

This is the request made by Luo Lanmeng, Princess Wei Guochang, when she rebuilt the villa. She hoped that there would be grass and green trees near her residence, full of mountain atmosphere, just like the Goddess Palace. Of course, Xue Chang satisfied his wife's request.

Just as he stepped onto the path among the grass and continued to move forward, he suddenly noticed a slight wind sound coming from behind him. He immediately squatted slightly, and swept a wooden stick over his head, and then swept it to his chest with his backhand.

Xue Chang had expected this move a long time ago. Using his left foot as the axis, he turned his whole body backwards slightly, just out of the attacking range of the stick.

Immediately afterwards, the wooden stick poked forward.

Xue Chang leaned slightly, the wooden stick brushed past his chest, and it stirred.

Xue Chang has already taken two steps back, dodging the attack...

This stick method is not as strong and vigorous as the Shaolin stick method, but it is subtle, wonderful and varied.

It's just that no matter how exquisite the stick technique is, Xue Chang seems to be strolling in the garden. He seems to easily move his feet sideways and move backwards, avoiding all the attacks of the stick.

"Master, has my dog-beating stick technique improved a bit compared to before?" The stick wielder was a black-faced young man with a strong figure. Instead of being depressed, he asked enthusiastically.

"Zhixian, the stick technique you used this time has changed slightly compared to before, but it is far from enough. As a teacher, I can basically accurately judge the follow-up moves you want to make, so you can easily avoid them." Xue Chang looked at He said seriously.

"Oh, I see. I will continue to practice and try to hit you, Master next time." Yu Zhixian said full of fighting spirit.

After hearing what he said, Xue Chang didn't show any expression of complaining, but instead encouraged him: "Well, keep working hard! By the way, why didn't you guard the ring today?"

"Master, there are only three people who came to the martial arts competition today. I have already finished the fight. It's no fun to stay there all the time. I'll just come back to play with Yin Yin. Anyway, if someone comes over there, they will rush over to tell you." Mine." Yu Zhixian said, pointing the wooden stick in his hand at the little panda lying on Xue Chang's shoulder, and said with interest: "Master, you brought back a red bear!"

"I didn't catch it, but it voluntarily wanted to follow me in the forest." Xue Chang patted the little panda's head and said with a smile, "I thought I could be a playmate with Yin Yin, so I brought it back. "

The little panda ran wildly along with Xue Chang, was knocked dizzy, and its hands and feet were weak. It finally arrived at the manor and got off the horse. Before it could catch its breath, it was almost attacked by a stick. Chang's shoulders, there is no way to refute Xue Chang's lies.

"Dad...Dad...Dad..." A soft and childish voice came from not far away, and a chubby toddler with big eyes ran towards Xue Chang unsteadily.

This was Xue Chang's daughter, Xue Mengying. Although she was only one and a half years old, she ran at a fairly fast speed. Although her gait was unsteady, she never fell down until she finally threw herself into Xue Chang's arms.

"My dear baby, do you miss your father?" Xue Chang kissed her tender face full of milk fragrance.

"miss you!"

"Look, what gift did Dad bring you?" Xue Chang said, grabbing the little panda's neck with his hands, and brought it to his daughter.

Xue Mengying stared wide-eyed, looked at the little panda curiously, and shouted excitedly: "Maomao!"

"Yes, a red cat, its name is... Well, Tongtong, do you like it?"

"I like it!" Xue Mengying stretched out her chubby little hand to hug her, but Xue Chang didn't give it to her, but put the little panda on the grass behind her.

The little panda set foot on the solid ground and wanted to run subconsciously, but suddenly saw a huge black shadow covering itself, it turned its head to look, and immediately stood upright, with its two front paws raised above its head, bared Grinning his teeth in a threatening manner, he fell to the ground on his back.I saw that black shadow approaching him, a huge mouth full of long fangs, and a big scarlet tongue rolled towards him...

The little panda rolled his eyes white, completely frightened and dumbfounded, and dared not move.

At this time, Xue Mengying ran over, slapping Heiying's big mouth with her small hand: "Tuo Tuo, Tuo Tuo, don't bully... Tong Tong!"

Tuotuo is now a big wolf, majestic and majestic, Xue Mengying is just a little guy in front of it, but when the little guy hits it like this, it doesn't get angry at all, instead it just retreats aside obediently.
