Chapter four hundred and thirty sixth lively rivers and lakes
"Ahu, you are really not polite at all!"
In the main hall of the backyard of Wuhouhou Mansion in Qiantang, the old Taoist priest Qingxu was smiling and talking.
He also met with the senior officials of the Yinkui Sect and enjoyed the overt or covert praise from the senior officials of the Yinkui Sect. He was in a very happy mood in the past few days.
I just didn't expect that my apprentice would be so rude. He had just reached a cooperation with the Yin Kui Sect and couldn't wait to make an extremely bold request.
He actually requested hundreds of female gentlemen from the Yin Kui sect in one go, which is simply crazy.
The Yinkui sect has always had a tradition of recruiting outstanding female disciples. After careful training, they either enter the houses of aristocratic families as concubines, or find ways to become the wives of high-ranking officials, or they sneak into the palace and work hard.
This is the foundation of the Yinkui Sect. They can always participate in the top circles of the dynasty, participate in game disputes involving the world, or covertly interfere in the situation of the world, becoming the well-deserved number one force of the Holy Sect.
Lei Hu's move was a bit poaching, and it's no wonder that the senior officials of the Yin Kui Sect were suspicious and wanted to find out Lei Hu's thoughts through Qingxu Lao Dao.
"Master also knows that there are many girls in the south under my disciple's rule, and the number of girls is quite large!"
Lei Hu explained with a wry smile: "There are many families in the world that favor boys over girls and are unwilling to spend energy and resources raising girls. There are many abandoned ones!"
This is a reality. Due to frequent wars, the population in the south has never been abundant.
In addition, people in ancient times paid special attention to the inheritance of blood. Although the preference for sons over daughters is not as alarming as it was in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it is still a quite alarming social problem.
Even though Lei Hu worked hard to govern the place and ensure that the people under his rule had enough to eat, there were still many families who were unwilling to spend energy and resources raising girls.
That is to say, the laws under Lei Hu's rule are strict, but regardless of the relationship between father and son or father and daughter, once someone kills someone, it is a felony. Not to mention immediate decapitation, it is also the fate of a prisoner in a labor camp.
This barely curbed the unhealthy trend of killing young girls among the people. However, examples of abandoning young girls, even half-grown girls, are still common.
Naturally, Lei Hu would not turn a blind eye to this, but ordered the garrison troops in various places to take them in. He did not want the tragedy of abandoned girls to die unexpectedly or starve to death under his rule.
Even later, he simply explained to the people directly through the garrison troops and local elders that if they didn't want to raise girls, they could leave it to the garrison, but in the future, don't expect these abandoned girls to recognize their ancestors and return to the clan.
Broken the relationship.
In two years, the number of girls taken in by garrisons in various places has reached nearly 10,000!
The Hou Mansion was not short of money and food. In order to raise these abandoned girls, they not only hired many childless women to take care of them, they even set up dozens of small cattle and sheep farms, and specially hired the lower-level Shengmen who had studied farm classics.
The talent is the same, specializing in providing fresh cow and sheep milk to girls, Boy Scouts and Cadets.
Just taking care of them is obviously not enough. Lei Hu has no distinction between men and women. He is deeply influenced by modern concepts and knows that the energy of women cannot be underestimated. There are also some extremely talented people among them. Once they are properly cultivated, their abilities will not be inferior to those of men.
The performance is even much better than that of men.
Moreover, in this world where the aura of heaven and earth is rich, the strength of an adult woman should not be underestimated. As long as she receives regular exercise, she can lift a weight of 180 kilograms and run like flying without any problem. In Lei Hu's eyes, she is also considered a qualified labor force.
Also, haven't there been studies in modern times that the mother's quality determines the upper limit of the child's quality?
Lei Hu is determined to improve the overall quality of the people under his rule, which is not only physical quality, but also needs to be greatly improved in terms of cultural accomplishment and conduct.
In this regard, the territory has a serious shortage of qualified female teachers.
In the current era, it is not easy for a woman from an aristocratic family to read or write. If she is not a direct descendant of the clan or her family is wealthy, ordinary collateral or branch girls may not have the opportunity to receive cultural education.
It can be said that if Lei Hu wants to get enough female gentlemen, it will be useless even if he asks for help from aristocratic families.
Only the imperial palace has the ability and resources to meet his requirements.
But not to mention how guarded Sui Emperor Yang Jian was against him, it was impossible for the female officials who were carefully trained in the palace to come to the south to help Lei Hu educate his children.
At this time, the importance of Yinkui Sect is highlighted.
Because the Yinkui sect is headed by women and has a tradition of infiltrating into wealthy families and palaces, it has a complete and orderly training system for elite female disciples.
Apart from anything else, the amount of teaching resources required to become an elite female disciple is extremely staggering, and most of the teachers must be women.
This gave Lei Hu the opportunity to poach. He didn't need those female gentlemen who cultivated elite female disciples. He only needed women who had read books and could read. As for the books to teach the girls under his rule, Lei Hu could do it himself.
Compilation, with his insight and knowledge base, is no problem at all.
In addition, he also plans to cooperate with the Yin Kui Sect to establish a training base for qualified female teachers, so that he can continuously cultivate and provide qualified female teachers to prepare for further improvement in the territory in the future.
In other words, only a powerful force like the Yin Kui Sect, which has been inherited for thousands of years, has such a foundation. If you really want to turn your foundation into strength, not to mention unifying the world, at least dominating one side will not be a problem.
Unfortunately, Shengmen also actively participated in the changes in the world during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and was considered a very obvious political force.
But now, with the demon concubine Zhang Lihua leading some elites of the Yinkui sect to retreat from Liuqiu, the Yinkui sect has gradually evolved into a martial arts sect, which is more active in the disputes in the rivers and lakes than in the court battles. This will inevitably lead to failure.
Got the inferior multiplier.
Moreover, the many classics of various schools of thought in the hands of the Holy Sect were gradually ignored and shelved, which in Lei Hu's view was definitely a serious waste.
Naturally, Lei Hu would not tell these things verbally, otherwise outsiders would think that he was "ambitious" and wanted to dominate the world.
He just carefully explained the reason why he needed a large number of female teachers to his master, Taoist Qingxu, and finally said helplessly: "There is really no other way but to ask for help from the Yinkui sect!"
In fact, there are still other forces in this world that can provide enough female gentlemen.
It goes without saying that there are brothels in Buddhism. It goes without saying that in Buddhism, all nuns who practice Buddhism can read and write. As for brothels, it is easier to understand. There is also a method of training women here, so it is natural that there are female teachers who can read and write.
It's a pity that these two Thunder Tigers don't want to have any contact with each other. In his eyes, both families are a scourge.
Old Taoist Qingxu suddenly realized and sighed: "I didn't want to manage the place so troublesome. Master has accepted this matter and will definitely help you get help from the Tongyinkui sect!"
"Then it's Master Lao!"
Lei Hu said with a smile, changed the subject easily and asked curiously: "Master, what happened in the world recently, I don't know what happened to the leader of the Zhu faction and Shi Zhixuan, and it actually got to this point!"
"Ahu, please don't ask about these things!"
The old Taoist Qingxu has matured and naturally knows that Zhu Yuyan is born out of love and hatred, so he doesn't want Lei Hu to ask too many questions. If he cooperates with Zhu Yuyan, he will cooperate. There is no need to make it too clear.
He didn't know yet that Shi Zhixuan had broken Zhu Yuyan's magic, and he would be stuck at the top of the seventeenth level from now on. With emotional deception and martial arts being ruined, it would be strange if Zhu Yuyan didn't go crazy.
Lei Hu naturally said so, he was not interested in other people's gossip.
However, in the past two years, I have been staying in the territory and farming, and it is inevitable that I have paid less attention to things outside. I don’t know what the world is like at this time.
According to the timeline of The Legend of Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty, masters like the Three Great Masters should have already begun to become famous and even powerful.
Old Taoist Qingxu knows much more about what is happening in the world than Lei Huke.
On weekdays, he spends most of his free time, apart from practicing his master's secret skills, and inquiring about what's going on in the world.
Seeing that Lei Hu was interested in inquiring about the affairs of the Jianghu, he felt quite proud and said with a smile: "Ahu, you are usually busy with official duties, so you naturally know little about the affairs of the Jianghu, but you don't know that the Jianghu has been very lively in the past two years!"
"Oh, could it be that something big happened again in the world?"
Lei Hu is really interested. The world's military force is extremely high. There are super strong men at the broken level before and after the Tang Dynasty. It can be said that one person controls a country. The boundary between the Jianghu and the court is very blurred. You can say that you
There is me among you, and you among me. The rivers and lakes are closely connected with the court.
Many major events that happen in the world can eventually affect the struggle and development of the court. If you want to make a difference in the Central Plains of this world, you must spend some time to understand the latest developments in the world.
"Nothing big happened!"
Old Taoist Qingxu smiled and said: "However, there are several extraordinary top masters in the world. They are invincible as soon as they are born. Their popularity is not weaker than that of the older generation of masters!"
"What masters have been born?"
Lei Hu became interested and asked curiously: "How do they compare to Song Que and Shi Zhixuan?"
“I don’t know how strong I am, but my momentum is not bad at all!”
Old Taoist Qingxu introduced: "Among them are Wang Tong of Dongping Prefecture, whose Confucian swordsmanship is superb and powerful; and Ouyang Xiyi of Huangshan, who is also very sophisticated in the 'Shaken Sand Sword Technique' and can be called a first-class master in the world!"
"Of course, their momentum is much lower than that of Dao Menning Daoqi, the Turkic master Bi Xuan and the Goguryeo sword master Cai Lin!"
Speaking of this, the old Taoist Qingxu sighed and said: "In other words, whether it is Wang Tong, Ouyang Xiyi, or the other three, they have already become famous in the world. It is only in the past two years that they have become the most popular. Not only did they not let Song Que and
Younger masters like Shi Zhixuan surpassed them and even slightly overwhelmed them!"
Lei Hu smiled and said: "I just don't know who will win and who will lose if they really want to fight!"
