From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

Lin Shirong shook his head.

Jiang Liu didn't hide anything: "Zhao Yingkong earns all her own living expenses, and she already has her own team. They are heading to battlefields all over the world. They could lose their lives if they are not careful. All I can confirm now is that she is still alive."

Feng Shayan, the daughter of a wealthy merchant, cut off her father's financial support in order to break free from the influence of her elders. She works and earns her own money, and like her senior sister, she also joined a small team and travels all over the world. However, she is a little safer and does not have to experience too many life-and-death battles.

King Nathan, the king of the overseas islands, is now actively engaging with the outside world and working hard for the future construction and development of the islands;

Chen Xiaoyu, the daughter of an ordinary couple in Hong Kong, studied abroad. During that time, she was supported by her uncle and father.

in short.

If you wish to become my disciple and are over eighteen years of age, you must take care of your own food, clothing, shelter, and transportation; this is the most basic principle of being a decent human being.

At this point, Jiang Liu started talking about himself again, "I established the Confucian Association and served as its president, but I only received a fixed salary. The use of the rest of the money is explained on the notice board outside the Cultural Street."

This opera troupe, or rather, the opera park, is the business that I, Hong Guniang, and the other members of the opera troupe run together to make a living and earn money for ourselves.

Aside from the maintenance of facilities, the salaries of everyone at the Caixi Park, road construction, and theater expansion, my net monthly income was nearly a thousand silver dollars, much more than over 90% of the people. But this money was earned by myself, and I have a clear conscience.”

In an instant.

Lin Shirong was filled with respect. He knelt down with a thud and kowtowed repeatedly, saying, "Master, don't worry, I will definitely find a job in Yuhang first. I will be completely self-reliant and will not rely on connections!"

Without waiting for Jiang Liu to speak again, he hurriedly got up and rushed out of the Caixi Park, determined to find a job that would allow him to earn a living.

"Brother Jiang, after all that you've said, you're actually hoping that Lin Shirong can become more composed, right?" Looking at Lin Shirong's hurried figure, Liu Wei believed he had seen through Jiang Liu's intentions and guessed that all his words were ultimately meant to calm Lin Shirong down.

However, given Lin Shirong's current "anxiety," it will probably take quite some time.

Zhao Pingshan and Zhao Tianhai also held this view.

Po Chi Tong was founded by Wong Fei-hung. Although he was a grandmaster, it has only been about forty years since then, so his teaching methods were probably still somewhat casual.

Although their Tiangongtang's history cannot compare to that of the Taoist and Buddhist sects, nor to the four major families, it was still founded by Song Yingxing in the Ming Dynasty and has a history of three hundred years.

"Take it easy? Don't overthink it, Brother Liu, I mean it literally."

Jiang Liu laughed.

Although Po Chi Tong's history is not as long as Tin Kung Tong's, Wong Fei-hung was a grandmaster, so how could he not know how to teach his disciples?

In order to give his disciple a brighter future, he was willing to sever his master-disciple relationship with Lin Shirong!

Lin Shirong wasn't impatient; he was just momentarily overwhelmed by the bustling atmosphere of Yuhang and lost his composure. He would be fine in a couple of days. As for Jiang Liu, he really just wanted him to find a job that could support himself.

after all--

Practicing spiritual cultivation in the mountains is different from practicing spiritual cultivation in the human world.

But there is no incense offering in the mortal world.

To sustain oneself, one must be self-reliant.

Otherwise, what's the point of talking about spiritual practice?

Furthermore.

When Lam Sai-wing was practicing martial arts at Po Chi Tong, he was also an apprentice. He knew how to deal with people, so finding a job would not be difficult for him.

Therefore, Jiang Liu did not worry much. He simply led Liu Wei, Zhao Tianhai, and Zhao Pingshan into the gate of the opera troupe's courtyard, where opera apprentices were already serving tea and snacks.

Tea time is over.

Liu Wei explained his purpose, but then sighed with a smile, "It seems my master's plan has failed. Brother Jiang never intended to mingle in the world of extraordinary people."

"After all, one of the core tenets of the Confucian Society is 'returning the extraordinary to the people.'"

Jiang Liu put down his teacup, took out a contract, and handed it to Zhao Pingshan, saying, "Brother Kaishan, if you want to open a factory in Yuhang, I would certainly welcome you. I have plenty of undeveloped land in Cultural Street and near West Lake that I have bought."

However, the land cannot be sold; it can be rented out for seventy years.

That is, a seventy-year usage right.

Zhao Pingshan was somewhat stunned.

Without him.

At this moment, Jiang Liu didn't look like a "saint" at all; instead, he looked like a shrewd and unscrupulous merchant!

# Chapter 1080 The Past of the Zhao Family —

"Brother Jiang, you..."

For a moment, Zhao Pingshan didn't know what to say.

It would be one thing if the land was just leased, but it turns out that the right to use it is only for seventy years?

What else could this be but a profiteer?

"Brother, don't call me cunning, I'm just thinking about the people of Yuhang."

Jiang Liu explained with a smile, "For the next seventy years, you can use this land however you like, whether you build a factory or grow crops, it's up to you, we won't interfere."

When the seventy-year term expires, we will renew it for another seventy years; you only need to pay a renewal fee of one hundred silver dollars.

Actually.

Seventy years is easy to understand.

After all, it is quite rare for a normal person, or even an extraordinary person, to live to seventy years old.

Therefore, most people don't have to worry about losing their land while they are alive.

But why "rent"?

"The main purpose is to prevent land from being bought and sold privately. I think Brother Zhao is also aware of the history of land annexation, right?"

Jiang Liu patiently answered Zhao Pingshan's questions.

"So that's how it is!"

When Zhao Pingshan came to Yuhang, he naturally learned about the land situation in the villages and towns outside the city. Although it was not quite the same as the rules Jiang Liu had given, it was generally to prevent land consolidation.

In this way, all the land belongs to one power, which then distributes the land according to the number of people and greatly reduces the land rent and house rent by five percent... It's practically no different from giving it away to the people for free!

But the key is having people...

Do not!

not human!

It's a system!

In the past few years, Jiang Liu was studying abroad and could not lead the Confucian Association, so it can only mean that the Confucian Association has already established a corresponding and complete system!

Considering that the Confucian Society was cooperating with the Gong faction, Zhao Pingshan suddenly realized that the leaders of the Guo faction had never really considered the needs of farmers or the ownership of land.

However, the Gong faction has always been working for the benefit of the people!

Even though their current power is not as great as that of the Guo faction, they are still suppressing bandits, eliminating thieves, and cracking down on local gentry, which is what the people want!

Tiangongtang has only one rule:

They value grains more than gold and jade!

In essence, it is also for the benefit of the people!

Clothing, food, housing, transportation, and daily necessities are all like this!

However, it's unclear when it started, but during times of chaos, the Heavenly Crafts Hall, like other sects, only sought to "protect itself" and dared not take any major action...

This is not good!

Extremely bad!

So Zhao Pingshan took the contract, signed his name, and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Jiang Sheng, which has enlightened me!"

If the sage does not abandon me, I am willing to serve him as a wise ruler!

I would gladly die for my country!

"what!"

Seeing Zhao Pingshan cup his hands in a fist salute, Jiang Liu laughed and said, "What Jiang Sheng?"

Don't mention it!

To be honest, I really can't tell you're from Tiangongtang... You seem like a promising acting talent. How about changing careers? I can talk to Boss Cha about it.”

"No! I'm tone-deaf, so I won't go on stage and embarrass myself!"

Zhao Pingshan quickly waved his hand, explaining that he had only acted out of curiosity and knowing Jiang Liu's humorous nature...

If Jiang Liu were to introduce him to the opera troupe, his fellow apprentices at Tiangong Hall would surely laugh him to death!

Seeing this, Jiang Liu stopped the topic and looked at Zhao Tianhai, taking out a letter and saying, "I once met a great Gu master in Qinghe Village in western Hunan. I helped her get rid of the Earth Dragon King of Ping Mountain. She then wrote three letters, giving them to me, Lu Jin, and Li Muxuan respectively, saying that if we wanted to refine magical artifacts in the future, we could go to Tiangong Hall... That great Gu master said that she had a past relationship with an elder of Tiangong Hall?"

Curious, Zhao Tianhai took the letter, opened it, and his lips trembled. A hint of reluctance and helplessness appeared in his eyes. He sighed, pondered for a moment, and finally spoke up: "It does have a history, it's related to our grandfathers—"

It turns out that Zhao Tianhai and Zhao Pingshan's grandfather, Old Zhao, did not want to learn carpentry when he was young. Instead, he wanted to be a wandering knight-errant and travel around. He had been to the Xiangxi area.

Jiang Liu also understood the situation in that area. There was a shortage of carpenters, and if the furniture broke, they either had to wait for a carpenter-trained merchant to come to the mountains, or they had to travel a long way to a nearby town to buy new furniture, or ask a carpenter to come to the village to help repair it.

Therefore.

When Zhao Lao went to Qinghe Village, the villagers learned that he was a carpenter. In addition, Zhao Lao was a kind-hearted person, so he was naturally warmly received and even liked by the girls in the village.

This includes the Grand Gu Master.

Because both were extraordinary individuals, though their cultivation paths differed, they found it easier to talk to each other. Furthermore, being young and restless, they couldn't resist exchanging glances and ended up sleeping together that very night…

But their good fortune didn't last long. People from the Heavenly Crafts Hall arrived, wanting to take Old Zhao back. Old Zhao wanted to bring the Grand Gu Master with him, but the Grand Gu Master's master disagreed with his exceptionally talented disciple leaving Xiangxi, instead demanding that Old Zhao stay...

In the end, not wanting to put the Grand Gu Master's master in a difficult position, Elder Zhao took the initiative to suggest that they never see each other again.

At this point, the two were completely separated.

After learning about the past of Zhao Tianhai and Zhao Pingshan's grandfather, Jiang Liu quietly opened his eyes and twitched his lips, secretly thinking to himself, "So, Wei Shufen's ability to refine Thousand-Day Red in the future is still a problem of her ancestors!"

It turns out that Jiang Liu, with his keen insight, saw that the young Gu Master, unaware of Zhao Lao's inner turmoil, harbored resentment. After Zhao Lao left, he relentlessly refined Gu, eventually creating the Thousand-Day Red, intending to take revenge on that "heartless man" from the Heavenly Craft Hall.

Miao women are passionate and decisive in love and hate!

The deeper the love, the more intense the hate!
