Start to be a martial arts hero from the famous people of Hengshan

Chapter 457 New Master

Outside the capital, Zuo Lengchan, wearing chain mail, scanned his troops with eagle-like eyes.

Today is the day when the Three Thousand Battalion will head to Zhongwei, Shenyang, Liaodong.

Traveling with him, besides the newly appointed Liaodong Governor Xi Shu, were some martial artists, including twenty-three people from the Huashan Sect including Yue Buqun and Feng Ping, forty-four people from the Hengshan Sect including Mo Da and Lu Lianrong, sixteen people from the Hengshan Sect including Master Dingyi and the Mute Grandma, and fifty people from the Beggars' Sect including Jie Bai and Gou Nan.

At this time, Mu Gaoweng came over, cupped his hands and said, "Master Zuo, my young master wants to see you."

Zuo Lengchan laughed, got off his horse and said, "Mr. Gao, you and I are comrades-in-arms, don't make fun of me like this."

“I dare not, I dare not.” Mu Gaoweng smiled and led Zuo Lengchan to a willow tree not far away. Ou Zanghua was already waiting there. What surprised Zuo Lengchan even more was that the person sitting next to Ou Zanghua was Xi Shu.

"Master Zuo." Xi Shu saw Zuo Lengchan and greeted him with a smile and a bow.

"Master Xi," Zuo Lengchan returned the greeting, then looked at Ou Zanghua and bowed again, "Master Ou!"

"Uncle Zuo, please take a seat! We are all colleagues, so there is no need for the conventional formalities." Ou Zanghua said calmly.

Zuo Lengchan thanked him and then sat down.

Ou Zanghua first introduced the two parties to each other, and then said: "I have written to your majesty that Shenyang Zhongwei will be changed to Shenyang City, which will be the capital of Liaodong Dusifu. The more than 10,000 slaves brought back from Mongolia last year will also be transferred to Shenyang City for the construction of the new city."

"In addition to Shenyang City, Jinzhouwei will also be renamed Jinzhou, and the prefect Gui E will be in charge. The focus here will be on developing shipbuilding and shipping."

"I have thirty students from the Imperial Academy who are quite talented and will go to Liaodong with the two of you."

Ou Zanghua looked at the two of them and continued, "The people's livelihood in Liaodong is in decline at the moment, and there is a lot to be rebuilt. In this critical time, I hope that the two of you can work together to overcome the difficulties."

Xi Shu bowed his hands in a friendly manner and said, "Please rest assured, Lord Ou, I will govern Liaodong well with Lord Zuo."

Zuo Lengchan also immediately stated that he would never let down the court's trust.

Ou Zanghua gave a few more instructions before getting up and leaving.

In March, the ice and snow in Liaodong had not yet completely lost their silvery glory.

And beside the winding mountain path, among the dense forest and dead leaves,

Clusters of yellow flowers have knocked on the door of spring, announcing the return of warmth.

As the sound of horse hooves approached, teams of people appeared outside Shenyang Zhongwei.

Fortunately, a simple expansion was carried out here before this, otherwise more than 10,000 people would not be able to accommodate.

After Xi Shu moved into the courtyard, the first thing he did was to find the manager of the Imperial Manor Store, the manager of the Royal Silver Shop, the managers of various companies in the capital, and representatives of various martial arts sects who had come with the team.

There were more than 40 people, and the room was too small to accommodate them, so they simply held the meeting in the yard.

Listening to the discussions of the people in the courtyard, Xi Shu walked out slowly with a peaceful look on his face, cupped his hands gently, and said gently: "You all have come from afar and have just arrived in Shenyang. I believe you have witnessed the many limitations of the conditions here. We still need to raise and prepare many of the things we need ourselves."

"However, before that, the most critical task is to select a suitable location to build a base."

Xi Shu ordered someone to spread out a map and showed it to everyone. He pointed to a location on it and said with a smile, "I have studied it before. This is the most suitable location." "To the northeast of this place are the Qipan Mountain and Huishan Mountain, which are the remnants of Changbai Mountain. To the south is Shenshui River, which surrounds it like a jade belt around its waist. The terrain is high in the north and low in the south, high in the east and low in the west. The vegetation in the east is lush. It is a rare Feng Shui treasure land in the world!"

As he spoke, Xi Shu drew a circle in the middle and continued, "A royal palace will be built here for your majesty's northern tour, covering an area of ​​100 acres."

Then he drew an oval next to the big circle and continued, "This area is planned as a commercial district. You can all set up your residence here. As for the specific location and area, it's up to you."

"Everyone can go and see the site tomorrow. The day after tomorrow, it will still be here. It's a good location, and the highest bidder will get it."

After saying that, Xi Shu picked up the teacup and began to drink tea. Seeing this, everyone naturally understood what he meant and stood up to say goodbye.

As soon as they stepped out of the yard, people who knew each other naturally gathered together and began to discuss this matter enthusiastically.

Yue Buqun was still thinking when he heard someone calling him. He looked up and saw Liu Zhengfeng and Mo Da standing together, waving at him.

"Mr. Yue, please wait a moment. Let's wait for a few more people." Liu Zhengfeng said cheerfully. Yue Buqun naturally had no objection and stood aside waiting.

After a while, Master Dingyi from the Hengshan Sect came out, and Jie Bai from the Beggars' Sect also came over, followed by Tang Ying'e representing the Songshan Sect and Taoist Tianbai representing the Taishan Sect.

"Now that everyone is here, let's go to my place first and have a meal while discussing this matter." Seeing that everyone was present, Liu Zhengfeng smiled and made arrangements.

The group walked to Liu Zhengfeng's courtyard. After entering the room, each of them held a cup of warm tea in their hands and immediately felt much more relaxed physically and mentally.

"We need to pay attention to the issue of the station."

Liu Zhengfeng looked at everyone solemnly and said slowly, "I represent the Huangzhuang store, but our plan goes far beyond that. We also plan to open Baihui Pavilion, which focuses on collecting all kinds of rare specialties in the Liaodong region. Therefore, our station is not only a sales point, but also includes warehouses and other facilities. It is expected that the overall area will reach 30 acres."

"For security reasons, I urge you to consider carefully and set up your sect's headquarters near the Huangzhuang store. If the Huangzhuang store or Baihui Pavilion encounters an accident, it will undoubtedly make us feel more at ease with the presence of all the masters."

Upon hearing this, Mo Da directly said, "Let's build the Xiaoxiang Pavilion of the Hengshan Sect behind the Huangzhuang store!"

"Thank you, senior brother!" Liu Zhengfeng bowed with some emotion.

Yue Buqun smiled, looked at Tang Ying'e and Master Dingyi and said, "The Five Mountains Sword Sects are of the same origin. Our sects are far apart. Now that we have the opportunity to open a branch in Liaodong, why not open one in the same area? This will also help fulfill the name of the Five Mountains."

After hearing this, Tang Ying'e nodded and said, "Mr. Yue is right. In fact, before I left, the head brother specifically told me that it would be best to build it on the same street as everyone else."

Taoist Tianbai smiled gently and said, "It's great that we can all be on the same street, but you all know the situation of my Taishan Sect. Therefore, the Taishan Sect's base will not be very large and may not be able to provide protection for the Imperial Manor."

Master Dingyi clasped her hands together and said kindly, "Amitabha, Hengshan Sect has decided to build a Cining Hall in Shenyang City to treat illnesses and injuries for people in the martial arts world. If the Four Mountains are by my side, I can rest assured and let my disciples come to practice medicine."

"My dear seniors," Jie Bai of the Beggars' Gang said with a wry smile, "The Beggars' Gang is in a special situation. If we connect the garrison with you all, not only will we not be able to provide help, but we may even be a burden to everyone. Therefore, the Beggars' Gang will choose another place to station. I hope the seniors will forgive us."

After hearing this, everyone shook their heads. No one intended to blame the Beggars' Sect. Instead, they made an agreement with the Beggars' Sect to share resources and information.

On the second day, under the leadership of Liu Zhengfeng, everyone went to the area designated by Xi Shu and finally circled a piece of land of about 60 mu in the middle of the street. Huashan took 10 mu, Nanyue Hengshan and Beiyue Hengshan took 7 mu each, Songshan took 5 mu, and Taishan only needed 2 mu. The rest was all given to the Huangzhuang store.
The group spent three hundred taels of silver to purchase the land from the government and immediately began construction.

The First Construction Bureau of the Ming Dynasty, which was under the jurisdiction of the Honglu Temple, was invited. The craftsmen in the bureau were all experienced veterans. Before starting construction, the craftsmen first communicated with the managers of each company many times. After confirming the customers' expectations for the architectural style and functional layout requirements, they drew a concept map for a second confirmation.

Then, construction began.

They are located in Liaodong, so they may have less other things, but they definitely have enough wood.
