My son A Fei has the appearance of a sword master

Chapter 122 Gathering the materials for the Taiyi Soul Resurrection Pill in the Seventh Year of Chenghua

In the second half of the fifth year of Chenghua, the establishment of the Department of Integrity caught the Ming Dynasty officialdom by surprise.

When Zhu Jianshen announced to the world that the Ming Dynasty had established an anti-corruption department, a mysterious house in various prefectures and counties put up a sign and started working with lightning speed.

The existence of the Xiji Bureau was not announced to the world at all. Only the anti-corruption envoys knew that there was a pair of eyes staring at them secretly.

Therefore, they carried out their work conscientiously, and the decree of Tang Xin, the censor of Zuodu in the Supervisory Yuan, "not to take half a grain of millet from a hundred letters, nor from half a penny at night" was implemented.

At the door of every anti-corruption office, there is a stone tablet engraved with "If you are an official and do not make decisions for the people, it is better to go home and dig loess."

This year is the end of corrupt officials, local tyrants and evil gentry, and it is also good news for those Jinshi who have been absent for many years.

Corrupt officials were directly taken down by the Integrity Department, and the vacancies were quickly replaced by Jinshi. It was a seamless process.

Because before the Integrity Department started taking action, they were already waiting for orders at the Integrity Department's office.

Some local tyrants and evil gentry with a bad record tried to resist, but were wiped out in a day.

The hangers-on and thugs they supported were almost helpless in the face of the Xichang spies.

Those Xichang secret agents learned the martial arts contributed by Bai Feifei, and the Ghost Palace martial arts was passed down in the Ming Dynasty in another way.

The mysterious nature of Ghost Palace martial arts is fully demonstrated in the Xichang secret agent.

In addition, they are equipped with mechanical concealed weapons. When ordinary first-class masters encounter them, they will be instantly infuriated if they are not careful.

The officialdom of the Ming Dynasty began to undergo a major change. Many high-ranking ministers in the court took the initiative to beg for their remains and return to their hometowns.

Just when the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty was initially undergoing a blood change, Zhu Jianshen issued another edict, increasing the salaries of Ming officials by five times on the original basis.

As a result, the enthusiasm of newly appointed officials at all levels is high, and the efficiency of implementation of government orders at all levels has been greatly improved.

After the turmoil of the blood exchange had completely stabilized, Zhu Jianshen issued his third edict, which once again caused an uproar in the world.

The content of this edict can be summed up in five words: nationalization of land.

All land is nationalized and no one has the right to buy, sell or sublease it, only the right to use it.

All states, prefectures and counties across the country have established departments of land and resources to manage and allocate local land.

This move naturally caused dissatisfaction among the powerful class, but it was supported by all the people of Ming Dynasty.

However, the dissatisfaction of the powerful class was quickly quelled by Zhu Jianshen.

Because he compensated them in other ways, such as industry and commerce.

Zhu Jianshen will distribute the projects of paving roads, building bridges and building railways to the country according to the amount of land handed over by the powerful.

When the powerful found out that they could make money without relying on that little bit of land, and they could earn more than before, they would naturally no longer focus on that one-third of an acre of land, but would instead work as contractors one by one. .

Zhu Jianshen followed the several combinations of punches taught by Li Tianxin, and the development of the entire country accelerated crazily again.

A series of criss-crossing cement roads gradually appeared in Ming Dynasty. Steam trains traveling three thousand miles a day improved the transportation efficiency of Ming Dynasty to a level that Zhu Jianshen could not believe.

He took the train from Beijing to Fenyang in the morning and was able to catch dinner in time.

And he didn't have to suffer any hardships along the way. He could even eat hot pot and sing songs while driving, which was something he never dared to think about before.

Since the establishment of the Ming Dynasty Factory, the annual development process of the times has been several times or even ten times the natural development.

The reduction in agricultural taxes gave ordinary people a surplus of food and began to have babies.

The collection of commercial taxes has caused the national treasury's annual tax revenue to rise by leaps and bounds.

The vigorous development of industry gave the people endless jobs and endless income, and Ming Dynasty's productivity increased exponentially.

The birth of the steam tractor turned most of the wasteland in the northern plains into fertile farmland.

Although the grain yield per mu has not increased, the increase in the amount of land and the increase in the range of land that each farmer can manage have also greatly increased the grain output of the Ming Dynasty.

The population of the Ming Dynasty increased from 6000 million in the Hongwu period to nearly [-] million in the seventh year of Chenghua.

The Ming Dynasty's standing army reached 120 million, and they were all new armies built with new military training methods and new army management methods.

The army is divided into ten military regions. In addition to the northern and southern Zhili garrison regions, eight major military regions are established in eight directions.

Because Fenyang is where the factory is located, the entire Shanxi Chengxuan Administrative Division was included in the protection scope of the three military regions: the Northern Military Region, the Northeast Military Region, and the North Zhili Garrison Region.

In other words, if something happens in Fenyang, Li Tianxin can mobilize any army from the three military regions to deal with it. He also has this power now.

Because he is now the Duke of the Ming Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty, a serious and powerful Duke, and the canonization was unanimously approved by the entire court.

Shanxi was the seat of the Jin Kingdom in the Spring and Autumn Period, so the entire Shanxi Chengxuan Administrative Department was Li Tianxin's fief.

Although the main weapons of the Ming Dynasty's army have not yet been reformed, there are also transitional weapons like "heartless cannons" in the Ming Dynasty's army.

Wooden handle grenades, which are safer than thunderbolt fire bombs, Tang Sect's melee weapons include hidden weapons like sleeve arrows, which are also the standard equipment of the new Ming army.

Using these equipment to deal with the cold weapon army, even if it does not reach the level of dimensionality reduction strike, is basically a crushing game.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that today's Ming Dynasty is impregnable. Fenyang, which is the top priority of the Ming Dynasty's defense, is naturally not to mention the safest place in the Ming Dynasty.

The old ships left behind by Zheng He's voyages to the West were all restored and refurbished and equipped with steam power.

Just wait for Li Tianxin to arm the breech-loading cannon and train the artillery unit before he can start the conquest.

After the battle, Li Tianxin could also ask Zhu Jianshen for a fleet to start the era of great navigation.

……

In May of the seventh year of Chenghua, in Fenyang, in Li Tianxin's courtyard of Zhu Mansion.

Today is a holiday, and Li Tianxin did not go to the factory to "work". The yard was very busy at this time.

In the courtyard, there are eleven children, led by a little girl, practicing the foundation-building exercises that strengthen the muscles and bones.

This group of children are basically three or four years old. The youngest is not even three years old, but they are still dancing and chattering along with the practice.

In the pavilion next to it, a group of adults were watching with great interest and having fun.

Among the eleven children, eight were boys and only three were girls.

Eight of them are Li Tianxin's children, including three girls, and the remaining three boys are the sons of Shen Lang and Panda'er.

Li Tianxin has five sons and three daughters, and Bai Feifei gave birth to a son and a daughter named Li Mubai and Li Ling'er respectively.

Ruyi Huancui and the four daughters of Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter all have only one child.

After practicing martial arts to Li Tianxin's level, he can already control his own energy. Only if he is willing to give birth to a child can a woman get pregnant, otherwise it will be impossible to get pregnant.

The names Li Tianxin gave to the children all had their own unique characteristics, and none of them were randomly chosen.

Li Mubai refers to Li Tianxin's admiration for Bai Feifei.

Li Ling'er, on the one hand, commemorates Bai Feifei's birth in the Ghost Palace, and on the other hand, it means that the daughter Bai Feifei gave birth to will be as immortal and spiritual as her.

The names of the children born to the six maids must be related to their mothers. You can tell who gave birth to whom by hearing them.

Of course, the six maids are no longer maids, and Li Tianxin and Bai Feifei gave them a status.

Ruyi Huancui is the side room, and the spring, summer, autumn and winter are the concubines. Li Tianxin has three wives and four concubines, no more and no less.

Ruyi gave birth to a daughter named Li Yueru.

Huancui has a son named Li Cuishan.Yingchun's son is called Li Chunlai.

Banxia's son is called Li Xiazhi.

Jianqiu's daughter is called Li Qiuya.

Maidong’s son is called Li Dongsheng.

Shen Lang and Zhu Qiqi gave birth to two sons, named Shen Feng and Zhu Chongyang.

Of these two boys, one calls Grandpa Zhu Fugui and Uncle Li Tianxin, and the other calls Grandpa Zhu Fugui and Uncle Li Tianxin.

Zhu Fugui didn't favor anyone, he loved them all in general.

However, in the future, the Zhu family's business will definitely be handed over to Zhu Chongyang. After all, he is the one who will continue the legacy of the Zhu family.

Today's richest man in the Ming Dynasty is no longer Zhu Fugui, but Li Tianxin.

Because of the industries he invented and created, excluding the imperial court's share, he holds the majority share, while Zhu Fugui holds the small share.

Originally Li Tianxin was unwilling, but Zhu Fugui insisted that this was all he could do.

Panda'er and Bai Ling only had one son, Xiong Abao, a proper naughty child.

This "bear" doesn't mean that he is annoying, but this kid is very lively and active. He climbs up and down all day long. He is simply the second best Zhu Qiqi.

But because of this, this boy was very fond of Zhu Qiqi, and gave him the slingshot he had treasured since childhood.

This made people often joke that Shen Feng and Zhu Chongyang were nothing like her sons, but A Bao was more like them.

Panda'er also taught his son to call Zhu Qiqi not aunt, but aunt like Li Mubai and others, and call Shen Lang uncle, which Zhu Qiqi readily agreed to.

This group of second-generation heroes are the next generation of righteous people in the world.

Due to the unique relationship between Li Tianxin's three wives and four concubines, they all have a very good relationship.

In addition, Li Tianxin, besides doting on Bai Feifei, tried to treat the other six women equally, so they had nothing to argue with.

This makes the relationship between the children also very good. Originally, in a large family, the relationship between brothers and sisters of the same generation depends on the relationship between the mothers.

Therefore, although they were a big family, there was no drama of house fighting. All the children were naturally led by Li Mubai and Li Ling'er, who were also the oldest.

And below this group of children, there is also a group of "followers", the children of the iron cavalry family in Taibai Village.

Bai Feifei often takes the children of the Zhu family to play in Taibai Village, letting them develop relationships with the children of the Iron Cavalry.

This is Bai Feifei's little trick, but Li Tianxin is very supportive. After all, the Iron Cavalry is part of the foundation of their family's ability to stand for thousands of years in the future.

Under the pavilion, Shen Lang smiled at Li Tianxin and said, "Tianxin, the children are almost at the age of enlightenment. Do you have any arrangements? Should you invite a master or..."

Li Tianxin said: "Master still needs to be invited, but he doesn't need to teach them the Four Books and Five Classics. He only needs to teach them how to write."

"When they are seven years old, I will teach them myself when I have time. If I don't have time, I can find a few of my students to teach them."

Shen Lang said happily: "That's the best. The world today is no longer the same as before. Only you and your group of students have the most advanced knowledge. It is no longer appropriate to learn those old things."

Li Tianxin smiled and said: "It's not completely useless. Some of it is still useful. At least it can make children understand."

While they were chatting, a young man with a long sword hanging from his waist walked in from outside the yard.

This young man looks like he is thirteen or fourteen years old, but he already has the air of a master when he walks.

The long sword at his waist is inserted on the right side, with the hilt facing to the left, so he usually uses the sword with his left hand.

Only the people present knew that he was not left-handed, because he used his right hand to hold chopsticks when eating, and he also used his right hand to hold a pen when writing.

His left-handed sword was so fast and powerful that everyone in the world thought he was left-handed.

In fact, the sword in his right hand is more powerful.

The boy is naturally Jing Wuming. Although he is only 13 years old, he has already practiced Hunyuan Zhenqi to the seventh level, and the Thirteen Life-Destroying Swords have also entered the palace.

In the world of martial arts, he is already among the top masters. The only thing he lacks is his actual combat ability.

So starting from last year, Li Tianxin asked him to become a headhunter and go to the world to hone his sword skills.

Being able to reach this state at the age of 13 is naturally not because he is a peerless genius. Although his qualifications and understanding are indeed top-notch, it is impossible for five years of practice to be equivalent to more than [-] years of practice for others.

It was because he took two Great Return Pills when he was 12 years old that he saved 20 years of hard training and directly passed the stage of accumulation of skills and became a top master in the world.

After five years of accumulation, Li Tianxin now has more than thirty large Huandan reserves, enough to create more than a dozen top masters.

This is what he reserved for his children. Nowadays, because the children are still young and their meridians are not yet mature, they are not suitable for taking medicine directly. It would be harmful to them.

You must be at least 12 years old to take Da Huan Dan.

"Master, the ladies and disciples are back."

Jing Wuming clasped his fists and bowed to Li Tianxin, Bai Feifei and the other girls, and then bowed to Shen Lang and others one by one.

Today's Jing Wuming, although his personality is still cold and indifferent, is no longer that lifeless.

His eyes were no longer dead gray, but black and white, because his eyes had come to life, which made his whole person "alive".

Li Tianxin smiled and said, "Did you come back this time to receive a bonus?"

Jing Wuming said: "Yes."

Li Tianxin said with satisfaction: "Very good, how much is the bonus this time?"

Jing Wuming said: "Disciple, I don't know exactly how many there are."

Li Tianxin wondered: "Oh? Why is this?"

Jing Wuming said: "Because this time the bonus that I want to receive is not from the villa, but from others."

Li Tianxin said: "Please tell me the whole story in detail."

Jing Wuming said: "Yes, this time my disciple was going to Yongping Mansion to hunt down a villain with a reward on his head, but in the Tangshan area, he encountered two young warriors who were surrounded and killed."

"Both of them were only in their twenties, but their martial arts skills were not weak. There were more than thirty people surrounding them, but they killed more than ten people."

"But after all, they were outnumbered. They were seriously injured and were unable to deal with the remaining twenty people. I heard the whole story from the conversation between the two parties."

"Both of them are Guandong martial arts people. Ever since the master issued a reward to find ginseng that is over 300 years old, they have been searching in the Changbai Mountains."

"Over the past few years, they have found one ginseng stem that is over 500 years old and three ginseng stems that are over 300 years old. However, for some reason, the news leaked out, which led to the pursuit."

"After my disciple knew the ins and outs, he immediately killed the besieging people and rescued the two of them. In order to repay my disciple for saving their lives, they were willing to share half of the ginseng bonus with my disciple."

"Because I don't know how much bonus I can get for four ginseng sticks, my disciple can't tell what the bonus will be this time."

After listening to Jing Wuming's story, Li Tianxin couldn't help but be overjoyed. Qianzai Kongqing had been obtained two years ago, and there were a lot of them. He had drawn three more Jianzhi, and now he had five.

The only ingredient missing from Taiyi's soul-returning pill is ginseng. Now that the ginseng is finally in place, it's finally time to start making the pill.

Over the years, he has specialized in alchemy research and spent a lot of money purchasing medicinal materials for practicing. Now he can do it himself without asking for help from others.

Li Tianxin said happily: "You did a good job this time, and I will reward you well. By the way, what are the names of the two young warriors who gave me ginseng?"

Jing Wuming said: "They are sworn brothers. The eldest brother is Bai Tianyu and the second brother is Ma Kongqun."
