Chapter 248 The Five-Tone Guiding Technique

……

Seeing that Wu Wen was about to leave, Lü Cai hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.

"What? Is there something else?" Wu Wen asked.

“My lord, I haven’t finished speaking yet,” Lü Cai replied.

Seeing Wu Wen's indifferent attitude, Lü Cai sighed helplessly and then said:

"Besides the problems outside the city, there are also many problems inside the city that need your help, my lord."

"What is it? Speak!" Wu Wen said.

"The first issue is education."

Lingnan is a mountainous region with long roads, and the local dialect can vary every ten miles.

Now that so many mountain people from different places have gathered in Panyu, they inevitably come into contact and communicate with each other.

Not only were the written languages ​​different, but the different languages ​​they used to communicate with caused considerable trouble.

Upon hearing this, Wu Wen replied directly: "Isn't this problem simple? Just issue an order to abolish all local languages ​​and require everyone to speak Mandarin."

"My lord, this matter is not as simple as you think!"

Lu Cai replied, "Promoting education involves too many issues. If not handled properly, this good thing could turn into a bad thing."

Upon hearing this, Wu Wen pondered for a moment and realized that what Lü Cai said made sense; he had oversimplified the issue.

This is similar to changing a person's habits.

The way a person speaks and acts from childhood is not so easy to change.

In particular, it involves the issue of cultural heritage preservation.

In addition, people in the Lingnan region have a strong belief in ghosts and gods and a very strong sense of clan.

Using harsh methods to promote education can easily backfire.

After thinking it over, Wu Wen said, "Let's leave the older people and those who are already adults aside for now."

In the name of the Grand Governor's Office, build several more schools in the city so that all underage children can study there without paying tuition. Make sure that every child can attend school.

As for teachers!

Every year, aren't there many imperial officials who are exiled to Lingnan for making mistakes?
Gathering these people together and using them as free teachers, letting them atone for their crimes through meritorious service, is a way of making the best use of them.

"..."

Lü Cai wrote down Wu Wen's words one by one.

Then he added, "There is also the issue of food in the city."

In the past, mountain people relied on the mountains for their livelihood.

Now that we've come to the city, it's like cutting off most of our food supply.

Originally, the food supply in Panyu City was relatively sufficient, but as more and more mountain people joined and the city continued to expand, the food problem became extremely serious.

Upon hearing about the food issue, Wu Wen immediately felt it was somewhat troublesome and began to ponder it.

Today, the population of Panyu City has exceeded 100,000, and the amount of food needed every day is not small.

The best solution, of course, is to let them leave the city to farm.

However, from the reclamation of wasteland to the harvest, there was basically no main source of food, and the amount of food needed during this period was extremely large.

Unless they are released back into the mountains now and allowed to find their own food in the forest, no matter how capable they are, they cannot conjure up so much food.

But that would mean all the previous work was wasted, so it's impossible to let them go back.

"If only there were a wealthy family with a large amount of grain stored up at home!" Unable to think of a solution, Wu Wen suddenly had a brilliant idea.

"Regarding the food issue, let me think about it some more. Go on, what other issues are there?"

Lu Cai continued, "There's also the issue of public security."

My lord, thanks to your miraculous medicine, everyone recovered from the previous plague.

Moreover, they became strong and healthy, with sharp hearing and eyesight.

While this is a good thing, it has also brought some negative impacts.

After these people became physically stronger, a small portion of them became difficult to control. Although they didn't cause any major trouble, they made a lot of minor mistakes, which greatly affected the security and stability of Panyu City.

The saying goes, "Knights-errant use martial arts to break the law." The best way to solve this problem is to establish a violent organization to control these people with force.

Wu Wen's first thought was of the pathogen: the Li people, Aman.

His increased strength came at the cost of overdrawing his life force, so he should be the strongest among everyone.

In addition, during a period of time when Wu Wen was researching him, he also gave him some enhancements.

Now, Li Ren Aman is Wu Wen's bodyguard.

Wu Wen's idea was to appoint the Li people's Aman as the leader and establish a control agency called the "Zhenfu Division," which would be specifically responsible for suppressing and pacifying the city's security issues.

However, Wu Wen thought that although Aman was highly skilled in martial arts, he lacked management skills, so he planned to have Ma Daxiong, the leader of the Li people, serve as Aman's deputy.

As for the selection of personnel for the Zhenfu Division, many of those infected with the virus were palace guards who continued to serve in the palace after recovering.

Wu Wen planned to gather these people together and have them join the Zhenfu Division.

In this way, the framework of this regulatory body was established.

Wu Wen shared his idea of ​​establishing a "Zhenfu Division" to solve the security problem with Lü Cai.

Lu Cai's eyes lit up, and he nodded in approval: "My lord, this is a good method."

In this way, we can not only solve the problem of security in the city, but also appropriately expand the Zhenfu Division and establish a Zhenfu Army.

The people of Lingnan are known for their fierce and unyielding nature; this could be used specifically to govern Lingnan, truly achieving two goals at once.

Wu Wen replied, "Do whatever you want. From now on, Aman and Ma Daxiong will take orders directly from you!"

Lu Cai was extremely grateful for Wu Wen's trust.

After all, Wu Wen had previously given him mostly political power, but now that he was being given the Zhenfu Division, it was as if he was also being given military power.

With military and political power in his hands, Lü Cai was second only to the emperor in Lingnan.

"Lord Xie, I will serve you with my life from now on..."

"Alright, enough with the nonsense. Just ask whatever questions you have," Wu Wen interrupted Lü Cai's oath.

Then, Lü Cai went on to talk at length about the governance of Panyu City.

Only today did Wu Wen truly realize how troublesome it is to govern a place.

Back when he was in Dingxiang in the north, he was a hands-off manager, leaving all the problems to Ashina Simo.

Fortunately, Lü Cai was brought along on this trip to Panyu; otherwise, with so many things to deal with, he would have had a lot to worry about.

……

Unknowingly.

Wu Wen and Lü Cai spent most of the day discussing government affairs.

He was merely offering suggestions; the actual work still had to be handled by Lü Cai.

The discussion is almost over.

Wu Wen was finally able to get up and leave.

Now he can focus on his own affairs.

They returned to their palace.

Wu Wen immediately ordered his men to summon Aman and Ma Daxiong together.

"Master!"

Inside the hall, the two men bowed respectfully to Wu Wen, who sat upright in the main seat. "I have summoned you two here today because there is something I need to tell you."

Wu Wenguang slowly explained the establishment of the Zhenfu Division to them in detail.

“Aman, although you are the commander, you should listen to Ma Daxiong’s opinions more in the affairs of the Zhenfu Division. Your main task is to lead people to suppress troublemakers in the city and appease the people.”

"Your subordinate obeys!" Aman replied readily.

At first, Ma Daxiong was somewhat unhappy when he heard that he, as the leader of the Li people, could only serve as the deputy commander, while Aman, a member of his tribe, had become the commander.

However, Wu Wen said that he would be in charge of all the affairs of the Zhenfu Division. Although Aman was the chief commander, he would have to follow his arrangements and his main task was to carry out specific tasks.

In this way, Ma Daxiong's dissatisfaction vanished instantly.

"Although I am the deputy commander, my actual power is no different from that of the commander. Ah Man will have to listen to me in the future," Ma Daxiong thought to himself.

In fact, Ma Daxiong was the best candidate to be the commander of the Zhenfu Division.

However, Wu Wen insisted on appointing Aman as the nominal leader because Aman was someone he had personally trained.

Although Ma Daxiong has lost his rebellious intentions under Wu Wen's secret hypnosis and guidance, he is a man of many thoughts and ideas. If he were to be made the official leader directly, it might cause a lot of trouble.

By nominally giving Ah Man the upper hand, a kind of balance can be formed, making him more restrained.

"You may leave now, Aman, stay here," Wu Wen instructed.

"Yes!"

Ma Daxiong accepted the order and withdrew, immediately setting about the establishment of the Zhenfu Division.

Wu Wenguang stepped forward, patted Aman on the shoulder, and asked:
"Aman, do you know why I appointed you as the rightful commander?"

A-Man, who was somewhat simple-minded and straightforward, shook his head, looking completely bewildered.

"Because I have high hopes for you!" Wu Wenguang looked at him with unwavering eyes.

Upon hearing this, Aman felt a surge of excitement.

"My lord, I, Aman, will certainly live up to your expectations!" Aman knelt on one knee, clasped her hands, and said.

"Ok!"

Wu Wenguang nodded in satisfaction, then changed the subject: "However, your strength is still lacking. You can handle ordinary people, but if you encounter some special people, you may not be able to cope."

"Today, I will teach you a method of cultivation. You must practice diligently, and it may even solve your problems."

Wu Wen did not hide his problems from him.

However, Ah Man did not show any disappointment after learning about this.

After all, Wu Wen had calculated for him that, given his physical condition, he could only live to be forty at most.

Currently, the average life expectancy is only around thirty years, and forty years is considered a long life.

Therefore, Ah Man did not feel disappointed. In his opinion, he was already satisfied to have lived to the age of forty.

What's more, I can become even stronger, so what more could I ask for?

However, when Aman heard Wu Wenguang say that this method of cultivation might solve her problems, she still couldn't hide her joy.

After all, who would want to die young if they could live a few more years?

He was satisfied, but the thought of extending his lifespan naturally made him very happy.

"The cultivation method I am about to teach you is called the Five Tones Guiding Technique!"

As he spoke, Wu Wenguang extended a finger and touched Aman's forehead directly.

Aman felt a flash of light before his eyes, and a large amount of obscure and mysterious information flooded into his mind.

He subconsciously closed his eyes, concentrated, and tried to understand and accept this new knowledge.

The so-called five notes are not the traditional five-tone scale of Gong, Shang, Jiao, Zhi, and Yu that are commonly referred to.

Instead, it contains mysterious sound waves and frequencies of five different sounds.

These five notes.

Some are like the resounding tolling of a great bell, majestic and profound, containing the immense power of the earth; some are like the clear sound of a flowing spring, ethereal and melodious, carrying the fresh air of the mountains and forests; some are like the clash of swords and the thunder of horses, stirring up the fierce atmosphere of the battlefield; some are like the cry of a phoenix in the heavens, high-pitched and loud, showing the vastness of the sky; some are like pearls falling on a jade plate, crisp and melodious, flowing with vibrant life.

When practicing the Five Tones Guiding Technique.

Practitioners need to calm their minds and concentrate, using a special breathing rhythm and mental guidance to make their internal energy resonate with the five tones of the external world.

When the sound wave frequencies of the five tones resonate harmoniously with the breath within the body, a wave pattern will be formed.

It is as if there is a pair of invisible arms gently plucking the energy threads between heaven and earth, guiding the energy that is free in heaven and earth to slowly gather and continuously flow into the body along specific meridians and acupoints.

Once this energy enters the body, it is like rain after a long drought, quickly nourishing every inch of skin, every bone, and every drop of blood.

They circulate and blend within the body, continuously strengthening the practitioner's physical functions and enhancing various physical qualities.

Over time, the cultivator's body will undergo a transformative change.

Their strength grows ever greater, their speed ever faster, their senses ever more acute, and they may even possess some supernatural abilities beyond human comprehension.

however.

Practice the Five Tones Guiding Technique.

There is one extremely strict condition.

You must first have a strong body.

This strong body does not merely refer to the external appearance of bulging muscles and immense strength.

Rather, it lies more in the vigorous internal vitality, abundant blood and qi, and unobstructed meridians.

Only in this way can the body, like a sturdy container, withstand the infusion of energy from heaven and earth.

If a cultivator is physically weak and rashly practices this method, the surging energy of heaven and earth will run rampant in the body like a wild horse, wantonly destroying the body's meridians, internal organs, and bones.

In mild cases, it can cause bodily damage and disrupt the flow of qi and blood; in severe cases, it can lead to the complete rupture of all meridians, rupture of internal organs, and sudden death on the spot.

After being infected with the virus, Aman's body had been strengthened enough.

With firm muscles, strong bones, and vigorous blood and energy, he resembled a lurking beast.

I have now barely met the basic requirements for practicing the "Five Tones Guiding Technique".

Once Aman begins to practice the Five Tones Guiding Technique.

This will create a virtuous cycle where "the strong get stronger".

With continued cultivation, his body became like a piece of refined iron being constantly forged, growing more resilient and stronger.

Strength, speed, perception, and other abilities are like climbing stairs, constantly being strengthened.

When cultivation reaches a certain level.

Its body is like a reservoir that has been filled to the brim, accumulating to a critical point, and then quantitative change leads to qualitative change.

It triggers the evolution of the body and facilitates a leap in the level of life.

Ultimately, he will be able to completely get rid of the side effects caused by overdrawing his life force.

—

Wu Wen taught Aman the "Five Tones Guiding Technique".

At this moment, he was completely absorbed in it, standing quietly in place.

They left quietly, without making a sound.

Wu Wen walked to the palace gate and said to the guards standing there:

"No one is allowed to go in and disturb Aman until he comes out."

"Yes!"
