In early October, Mi Brigade bid farewell to Dou Ziyu and the first batch of Chu State envoys who came here to observe the government at Liucheng Wharf.
They will take a Qin ship and embark on a journey back home.
From here to Yingdu, it is more than ten thousand miles.
It takes more than a month to sail!
Watching the ship go away, Mi Lu felt empty in her heart.
He looked back at the hundreds of teenagers.
His eyes passed over them and he said: "You all go back!"
"Yes!" Everyone nodded in unison.
After sending these people away, Mi Brigade walked towards Yingdao who was standing on the other side of the pier, still watching the fleet.
"Gongsun..." Mi Lu came to Yingdao and said, "Recently, I heard that Gongsun is organizing and establishing a society?"
Yingdao nodded, not shying away: "Yes!"
"The name of my academy is: Self-improvement!"
"This is taken from: Heaven is moving vigorously, and a gentleman has the intention to constantly strive for self-improvement..."
"Wang Sun, are you willing to join?" Yingdao blinked.
Mi Lu smiled: "Unfortunately, I am also planning a school..."
"The name is: Morality!"
Yingdao frowned: "Morality?"
Mi Lu smiled and said: "Yes, morality!"
"I am willing to pursue the path of morality with all living beings, pass on the tradition to the saints, and open up a road to peace for all generations!"
Yingdao shook his head in his heart: "Are you asking for morality before the saint?"
"I'm afraid this King of Chu is tired of living!"
However, he did not intend to remind Mi Lu that he had gone astray.
Inheriting the destiny of Xu, Qin is enough!
"I heard that Mr. Meng's 'Datong' academy now has thousands of students joining it..." Yingdao said softly, "Wang Sunke has gone to see..."
Mi Lu nodded, of course he had gone to see it.
After Tianzun went into seclusion, Meng Bai suddenly established the 'College Student Society'.
Many students were recruited to join the club.
The appearance of the college club suddenly awakened both Yingdao and Mi Lu.
It was not until then that they discovered that they had been in the treasure mountain all along without knowing it.
What is the most precious thing about Liu County?
It is not a fertile land, nor is it a social environment where monsters, water people, and humans live together harmoniously.
Not even the sacred tree of enlightenment.
But those students who are bathed in holy virtues and enlightenment!
Especially the best of them!
These people are the most precious and the most worthy of investment and wooing.
Therefore, Yingdao and Mi Lu, of course, saw the talents in common and immediately started the work of establishing the 'study society'.
Because they knew that Meng Bai must have obtained the decree of Tianzun by doing this.
Therefore, the rules and regulations of each other's societies are also copied, or at least they refer to the system of the 'University Fellowship'.
Just make some changes and adjustments in the details.
But the goal is to attract as much as possible these young people who are now studying in front of the Tianzun Seat.
Let them be as willing as possible to follow you back to your country in the future!
The battle for orthodoxy is bloody!
Not only externally, but internally as well!
Both Yingdao and Mi Lu knew how fierce internal fighting broke out within Zongzhou back then!
Duke Zhou marched eastward and eliminated all internal dissidents.
The Three Prisons Rebellion was essentially a process of eliminating internal dissidents.
After the three prisons were leveled, the upper realm was also in chaos.
It is said that some golden immortals and even Daluo have escaped!
Legend has it that there are many great Luo who have never cared about worldly affairs since then!
Therefore, you must prepare early!
Of course, we still need to maintain peace now.
Bidding farewell to Yingdao, Mi Lu returned to Liucheng.
He knew that his advantage was obvious in that he could get continuous resource support from Chu State nearby.
But the disadvantages are also obvious.
The State of Qin can provide Liu County with a steady stream of witches and asuras.
This time, the Qin fleet sent hundreds of witches and hundreds of asuras.
Now, everything has played a role!
The iron smelting workshop thirty miles outside Liucheng produces thousands of kilograms of iron every day.
In the autumn harvest that just ended, those iron farm tools played an important role!
Whether it is cutting wheat or felling wood, iron tools have demonstrated performance that far exceeds that of bronze!
The key is it’s very cheap!
As long as there is stone fire, there can be continuous production.
Unlike bronze, the requirements are strict!
Asuras are not only the digesters of all kinds of smoke and filth, but they are also the masters of Liujun's stage.
The various operas and stories they rehearsed were very popular.
In this aspect, Chu State cannot compare with it in any way!
Of course, Chu State also has its own advantages. There are many demon tribes and aquatic tribes in Chu State!
Thinking of this, Mi Lu secretly said in his heart: "The future expansion direction of our Chu country should be placed in Wuyue..."
"From Wuyue to the south, deep into the South China Sea..."
"Maybe we can try to establish contact with the Dragon King of the South China Sea..."
"Even invited the Dragon King to Yingdu..."
"In this way, if we continue our northern expedition to the Central Plains... we will be able to lay the foundation for the Holy Dynasty!"
"At that time, the Qin Kingdom will be hanging in the west, and there will be no danger!"
At worst, all Feng Yingdao needs is ‘Uncle Qin’!
With this in mind, Mi Lu picked up a pen and began to write the recruitment notice for the 'Moral Society' on paper.
Then, he ordered people to copy it into thousands of copies, intending to distribute it to the students the next time they come to Mr. Liu to review their lessons.
…
Yingdao did not write any new recruitment notice.
He does not need it!
At this moment, he was in front of Meng Bai.
"Thank you, sir!" Yingdao took the booklet from Meng Bai's hand that recorded the addresses and names of the young people who were listening under Tianzun's seat: "In the future, Dao will be richly rewarded!"
Meng Bai laughed: "Gongsun Yan is serious..."
"They are all serving the Heavenly Lord's lineage!"
Meng Bai thought clearly.
Orthodox matters have nothing to do with him.
He just wants to follow Tianzun and become a registered disciple in the future, which is better than toiling in the mortal world.
After taking this booklet, Yingdao immediately started taking action.
He first searched according to the map, visited more than a hundred young people near Liucheng, and talked with them one by one.
Naturally, it is impossible to persuade these people with the promise of profit or anything like that.
Mere worldly interests cannot sway these young men with a bright future who listen to the Dharma in front of the Heavenly Lord.
But when he came forward in person, it was still effective.
The ‘Self-Strengthening Society’ soon developed its first batch of members through his efforts.
Although there were very few, only about a dozen people.
But Yingdao took these people and traveled around Liujun.
Slowly attracting other interested people to join.
Anyway, it's just a club, and the organization is very loose.
That is, when we have free time, everyone can do activities, study and communicate together.
Then he went to various places to collect some local information, and even divided into groups to ask merchants, guards, and new immigrants to Liu County from various places about the current situation in various countries.
Then, everyone discussed these things they knew.
Slowly, Ziqiang Society has more and more members, and its activity and stickiness are also getting higher and higher.
By December, the number of members of the Ziqiang Society was almost the same as that of the university classmates, reaching 1,500!
There are also branches in various counties.
Mi Lu's 'Morality Society' had just opened at this time, with only thirty-five people.
This makes Mi Lu very tasty.
So, I simply took people with me and participated in several activities of the ‘Self-Strength Society’ anonymously.
Only then did Mi Lu understand why his school was not developing smoothly.
He immediately changed his strategy and fully studied the ‘Self-Strengthening Society’.
