Chapter 938 Xu Xians Prestige
Yan Chixia is a well-known hero in the world of martial arts. She is both a chivalrous and righteous hero, and she also subjugates demons. It can be said that her reputation has always been very high.
In addition, he once served as the chief catcher of five provinces and dealt with a group of gangsters. Later, although he could not stand the tricks of officialdom and resigned and retired, his reputation has not weakened.
But even if Yan Chixia has such prestige, her fiftieth birthday will not attract many people.
The key is that the person in charge is Chen Zhao.
In the eyes of the world, Xu Xian, the owner of Hanwen Martial Arts School in Qiantang County, Hangzhou Prefecture, runs it for Yan Daxia, who is resident in the martial arts school.
Although Xu Xian is just a martial arts master and an ordinary citizen, even if his sister-in-law is in the officialdom, she is just a police chief.
But in the entire Jiangnan area, no one does not know his reputation.
Even though Xu Xian is just an ordinary martial arts practitioner, he has so many disciples.
The Han Wushu Gym was only opened for two or three years, but the masters who trained there were all over Liangzhe Road and Jiangnan East Road. Every disciple who started the school was top-notch in martial arts and knowledge in the Jiangnan martial arts world, so he quickly started an industry.
They echoed each other and quickly formed a huge community of interests.
In the feudal era, the imperial power did not go to the countryside. Ten miles away from the capital, it was basically a place beyond the control of the royal law.
In the Qin area in the far west, because knowledge was monopolized by the church, there were not enough academicians and officials. Therefore, the emperors and monarchs of various countries could only enfeoff land, allowing those ignorant land-owning families to control the place, taxes, fees, and population.
The church, which possesses knowledge, has priests, and is able to penetrate every village with influence, has great power. They obtain wealth through tithes, and also have great influence in major kingdoms.
Under this series of mutual influences, the local forces of the various countries in the Qin Dynasty became more and more powerful, so much so that they could not lose their power, and various principalities were formed. It can be said that there are many countries in the country. The influence that lasted for several centuries made it difficult for them to unify.
Therefore, later generations of philosophers called it land enfeoffment.
But China is different.
Since the Huaxia people are a race that kills gods at heart, no religion can dominate the mainstream. Therefore, knowledge can be spread to ordinary people, allowing the empire to select a steady stream of officials through the imperial examination system.
Of course, those nerds who can only study rote books will not be able to become officials. Even if they become famous in the imperial examination, they will be rejected in the subsequent training of reserve officials of the imperial court. At most, they will be assigned to spend most of their time in the Hanlin Academy or the Ministry of Rites, etc. dealing with books.
yamen.
This is also the gap between poor children and the so-called aristocratic families. If they want to pass the Jinshi examination, they not only need hard work and talent in reading, but also have a good eye for observation. At this point, wealthy families appear in various places.
There are more and more officials, which has great advantages in this regard.
Over time, an intricate network of influence was formed in the local area. In the prefectures and cities, they also obeyed the words of the imperial power and the government. Apart from the prefectures, the world was dominated by the wealthy families.
This is actually a kind of enfeoffment, that is, the enfeoffment of power.
It is now a time of peace, and neither the central imperial army nor the local garrison will move lightly. Therefore, the warriors who often walk among the people seem to be more intimidating than some government officials.
Xu Xian of the Han Wenwu Academy has many disciples, some of whom are detectives, some of whom run escort agencies, and some of whom run other industries. These people are loyal to Xu Xian and are extremely efficient in their affairs.
At Xu Xian's request, they worked with dignity and profit. They knew how to share their interests with others and would not go it alone. Therefore, in the past two years, Liangzhe Road and Jiangnan Road experienced great development. Business was booming everywhere, and Liangzhe Road was prosperous.
Don't blame Xu Xian's manipulation behind the scenes.
During the development period, the roadblocks and robbers who blocked the trade routes, as well as the ruffians and evil gentry from all over the country who were extremely vicious and wanted to wipe out the land, became the stepping stones for the disciples of the Hanwen Martial Arts School to rise to the top.
However, with the economic development in the Jiangnan area, the people do not feel that they are being exploited, which makes it relatively easy for the government to collect taxes and achieve great results.
Therefore, those big guys from all over the world who have seen through the key have sufficient respect for the Chinese disciples, and in turn have gained the respect of the Jiangnan warriors.
As a result, a rising tide lifts all boats, and Chen Zhao can be said to have responded to a hundred calls in the Jiangnan area.
The resulting situation is that those demon tribes who used their methods to subjugate demons had to build momentum from the Heshuo area, attracting a large number of Jianghu Caosang who did not know the truth and came here. They managed it in secret, spending countless time and money.
Of course, Xu Xian's illustrious reputation is well-known throughout the Jiangnan martial arts world. Therefore, after the news spread that he was going to hold a 50th birthday party for the famous Jianghu hero Yan Chixia under the Leifeng Pagoda, a large number of heroes came to see him.
Started to rush towards the West Lake area.
A few days passed by in a hurry, and in a blink of an eye it was the day of the Leifeng Pagoda banquet...
On that day, Xizhao Mountain was bustling with people and traffic, and the disciples of the Hanwen Martial Arts Hall who welcomed the guests were beaming with joy, which made the guests feel filled with emotion.
"Did you see that the welcoming disciple just now is a high-ranking official, King Tianfeng, the number one rice merchant in Fuyang Prefecture? He is a disciple of Master Xu Xian, Master Xu. He just started training half a year ago and has made the family business so prosperous. Who is the hero of Jiangnan?
Admiration? But here, I can only be a welcome disciple."
"Oh? I can't believe it!"
"What is this? Have you heard about the Zhenhai Escort Agency in Hangzhou Prefecture? The head of the agency, Mr. Fang, only studied under the Hanwen Martial Arts School for a year and a half. Three months ago, he gave Du Dajin, who had studied Shaolin for fifteen years,
defeated!"
"I've heard about this. They say that the world's martial arts originated from Shaolin. This Du Dajin has been studying martial arts for many years but is so vulnerable. They all laugh at him for having learned all these years like a dog's belly!"
"Hey, can a guy who has studied in the Shaolin Temple for fifteen years and become a Shaolin Shaolin Shaolin Shaolin Temple be such a idiot?"
"What do you mean?"
"It's not that Dajin is incompetent, it's Mr. Fang who is the powerful escort!"
"That's right!"
"So look, who is that person next to Wang Tianfeng, the high official?"
"Well, I'm just here to talk to you, let me take a look, ah..."
"Haha, you read that right, that's Mr. Fang, the bodyguard!"
"Bah..."
As the man showed off, several people around him gasped at the same time.
Two masters who are famous in Hangzhou Prefecture can only serve as welcoming disciples at the foot of Xizhao Mountain. How powerful can this scene of Xu Xian be?
So shocking.
Incredible, so incredible!
We usually know that Xu Xian is very powerful and powerful, but just looking at the Yingbin disciples, we can see that he is even more powerful and powerful than everyone imagined!
The power and martial arts of the welcoming disciples under the Leifeng Pagoda are even more powerful than those two at the foot of the mountain, so much so that there are people under the tower, all talking in low voices, and there is not even one who makes a loud noise.
It was nearly noon, and the people on Xizhao Mountain were swarming with people. Five to six hundred distant visitors arrived in a steady stream, and the closer the time was, the more extraordinary the status of the visitors became.
At the same time, it also made the people who were eating melons even more shocked.
"The martial arts masters of the Three Emperors will meet at Yue Haishan, pay homage to Master Xu, and pay homage to Hero Yan."
"Fei Yunzi, the great disciple of Maoshan Sect, pays homage to Master Xu and congratulates Master Yan on his birthday."
"The abbot of Hanshan Temple has paid his respects to Master Xu and congratulated Master Yan on his birthday."
