Cataclysm: My Proficiency Panel

A person can be promoted to an official position, and the property under his name does not need to be taxed.

These two points alone are enough to ensure the wealthy life of the Li family. Not to mention anything else, the last one alone has attracted many landowners to attach their fields to their family, and the old Li family has also taken back all the fields they had previously attached. .

This affiliation is not something you can get just casually. There is a fee. Generally, the Li family does not need to take care of anything in the fields that are affiliated, and they all get 10% of the grain harvest.

Compared with the heavy taxes paid to the court, this 10% tax is less than I know, so there are countless family landlords who are willing to attach themselves to the name of Juren.

Li Ming became a civil servant, and this was naturally the case. However, as he was already older and gradually gaining prestige, he also had two requirements for the family he affiliated with: anyone who bullied the market, brought disaster to the countryside, exploited the people, oppressed the good, and took the land of the plunderers. Not a single cover is collected.

Anyone who is diligent, motivated, upright, friendly, not a drunkard, does not gamble, and is honest and trustworthy will receive as much land as there is.

In this way, a group of people who actively wanted to join the family were greatly screened. Although such a move would reduce the family's reliable income a lot, after Li Ming explained the pros and cons to his father, Mr. Li directly agreed. .

Those who bully the market, bring harm to the countryside, exploit the people, oppress good people, and plunder those who do so will inevitably have a distinctive characteristic: they are hated, have a bad reputation, and violate the law.

Such people are also the ones most likely to get into trouble. If you take over their fields, even if you do nothing, they will be burdened by their reputation. Once something happens, the other party will be affiliated with your house. It can't be washed off.

On the contrary, people who are diligent, motivated, upright, friendly, don't drink alcohol, don't gamble, and are honest and trustworthy often have a good reputation for benevolence and justice. If you protect them, even if you do nothing, people will naturally like you.

These people are also the least good at causing trouble. Harvesting their fields will not cause a lot of trouble in vain, but they can also gain fame, so why not do it.

In addition, this move can be regarded as punishing evil and promoting good.

Even though the reputation of these people cannot spread beyond the countryside and towns, it is enough for the Li family to gain the reputation of a good local gentry.

Not to mention how it will help, at least it won't hold you back.

Moreover, as Li Ming is only 16 years old and has a great potential in the future, he naturally does not care about what these farmers can do to help him.

It is far better to recruit some good guys who are responsible than to recruit some villains.

It was precisely this suggestion from Li Ming that the land taken over by the Li family was not very large, but fortunately it was quite vast. Not only could it easily satisfy the martial arts practice supported by Qingsongguan, but it also made the whole family happy. Living standards skyrocketed.

In addition to these two points, there are many privileges possessed by the juren, such as the privileges inherited from the scholar: in case of official business, you can report to the county magistrate and gain the qualification to talk directly with the local parent official;

There is no need to kneel and kowtow when meeting magistrates and other officials;

The county government cannot impose punishment on him, and he can even be pardoned for minor crimes;

Exemption from some taxes and corvée (two male members of the family can be exempted from corvee service);

Slaves can be used at home, but common people are not allowed to keep slaves, they can only raise servants;

Can have the privilege of wearing elegant clothes (blue-collar gown, pocket square, boots);

Being treated politely, the common people will be treated with official courtesy when they meet the scholar, and those who violate the rules will be punished according to the law;

Can travel freely without geographical restrictions (ordinary people are not allowed to move at will);

Study subsidies are available.

At the end of the year, there are also gifts of cakes and fruits, red envelopes, paper and pens, etc.;

Can serve as a private school teacher.

As a scholar, all the privileges of a scholar have been enhanced. For example, serving can be more luxurious, for example, serving as a private school teacher can be directly upgraded to being an official, and for example, the scope of non-executable punishment can be raised from the county government level to the county government level, so you can Meet directly with the chief of a county.

The scope of exemption from corvee extended directly to the whole family.

In this way, the Li family naturally became more prosperous and wealthy.

In this way, after the age of sixteen, Li Ming did not forget to practice martial arts hard while studying hard.

In the blink of an eye, when he turned eighteen, Li Ming's body gradually opened up. He was 1.8 meters tall, strong, strong, and agile. At this age, his body was basically fully developed.

Similarly, as the body opened, Li Ming's aptitudes were unfolded, and the progress of martial arts was greatly accelerated. In this year, he directly practiced the two martial arts of [Zhenyuan Zhuang] and [Fetal Nurturing Skill] to great success, and even [Qingsong Ruyijin] is also practiced very skillfully.

Especially after the completion of [Fetus-nurturing Skill], the innate life essence in the body is transformed into pure Yang energy and integrated into the whole body under the guidance of [Qingsong Ruyi Jin]. Not only does Li Ming's inner energy condensed by [Qingsong Ruyi Jin] The breath became purer and stronger, which allowed Li Ming's body to develop again.

During this period of time, Li Ming felt numb and numb almost every night, as if his body was growing, and the wonderful effect of pure Yang energy integrated into his body began to show.

After realizing that his [True Essence Stake] and [Fetus-nurturing Skill] were both successful, the Taoist priest was not idle. He once again invited his senior brother to carefully identify the state of the skills for Li Ming. The next day He walked over with a smile on his face.

"At the age of eighteen, you can practice [True Yuan Zhuang] and [Fetus-nurturing Kung Fu] to great perfection, a martial art that many people only practice in their thirties. Your talent is really excellent. Now the sect has decided that you can let me practice it." You have learned more advanced kung fu."

The Taoist priest Xu Jin looked at his lay disciple with a smile. Then he saw Li Ming's serious expression and nodded with satisfaction and took out two Kung Fu skills.

【Qingsong Zhenqi】【Hunyuan Gong】

"[Qingsong Zhenqi] only contains the method of cultivating Zhenqi, but the Zhenqi cultivated is also top-notch in the world. Not only is it strong and powerful, but it is also better because the Zhenqi is continuous, has infinite stamina, and is more versatile. It has a healing effect.”

"Just like a green pine, no matter how the seasons change, spring, summer, autumn, or winter, I remain evergreen. However, the disadvantage of this technique is that there is no specially matched martial arts. After practicing this technique, although the true energy is strong, the martial arts of fists and kicks are not Need to match it differently."

The Taoist priest Xu Jin carefully pointed at [Qingsong Zhenqi] and introduced it solemnly. After introducing this, he introduced [Hunyuan Gong] with a smile.

"[Hunyuan Gong] can be practiced to integrate internal and external Hunyuan Jin, which is also top-notch among internal powers. It is also paired with Hunyuan Palm, which can be attacked and received. It can integrate internal and external parts. It is also an excellent skill. Law."

"Both of these techniques are very important. I won't make the choice for you as a teacher. How you choose depends on your intention. But no matter which type you choose, you must concentrate on it in the future and don't regret it."

Xu Jin spread out the two techniques and said with a smile.

"Can't the techniques be practiced at the same time?"

Li Ming frowned and asked in surprise.

"These two skills can be said to be true skills. True skills are different from the previous foundation skills. Everyone can only practice one kind of true skills. Of course, it doesn't matter if it is martial arts, but you can only practice one type of skills."

Xu Jin pointed at [Qingsong Zhenqi] and then pointed at [Hunyuan Gong]: "For example, if you have practiced [Qingsong Zhenqi] and want to practice this [Hunyuan Gong] again, you must The [Qingsong Qi] is transformed into [Hunyuan Jin], so that you can successfully practice this technique."

"However, the advantage of having more skills is that although the Qi can be transformed, the beneficial effect of each skill on your Qi can be retained."

"For example, [Hunyuan Jin] can be cultivated both internally and externally. After you have perfected [Hunyuan Jin], you can then practice [Qingsong Qi] to make your own Qi more powerful. At the same time, the physical strength tempered by Hunyuan Jin will also be reduced." It changes, and vice versa.”

Xu Jin opened his mouth with a smile, but after finishing speaking, his expression was a little solemn: "Your qualifications are already excellent, and now they are combined with pure Yang Qi. In addition, in the past, it was difficult to see everything without opening the body. Now that the body is fully opened, the talent The advantages will be fully revealed.”

"In this case, I don't know the speed of your cultivation in the future, so I can't make any decision for you. But you have to know that you can't bite off more than you can chew. Therefore, it's best to choose the one you want most for the first exercise. .”

"In this case, even if you don't have time to switch to a second course in the future, you won't regret it, but will gain something."

After the Taoist priest Xu Jin finished speaking, he looked at Li Ming with a smile and stopped talking, waiting for his decision.

"In this case, Master, I will choose [Hunyuan Gong] first and wait until [Hunyuan Gong] is completed one day, and then I will come to the master to practice [Qingsong Zhenqi]."

Li Ming had a smile on his face, looked at the two books left and right, picked up [Hunyuan Gong] without hesitation and said to Xu Jin with a smile.

He has yet to pass the imperial examination, so he cannot go around collecting and practicing other martial arts skills like many martial artists. [Hunyuan Gong] comes with excellent Hunyuan Jin, and it is a skill that integrates internal and external skills. It also comes with a palm martial arts that is suitable for him to practice.

It can not only form an integrated combat power, but also become a good basic martial arts, and you don't have to worry too much about learning other martial arts together.

Since it is a matching martial arts, it will definitely be easier to practice, so you will have more time to study besides practicing martial arts.

After hearing Li Ming's choice, Taoist priest Xu Jin nodded with a smile, put away the [Qingsong Zhenqi] for him, and then began to teach Li Ming the contents of [Hunyuan Gong] attentively.

[Hunyuan Gong] As a martial art practiced by both internal and external practitioners, it is naturally not practiced while sitting down like many internal martial arts. Instead, it is combined with a set of dynamic exercises and internal breath transfer methods to operate together, somewhat similar to the [True Yuan Stake].

Although [True Essence Stake] is a pile skill, it is undoubtedly also a dynamic skill. When practicing [True Essence Stake], Li Ming had to set stakes every day. Only in this way can his skill increase.

The movement of [Hunyuan Gong] stretches every muscle, bone and five internal organs in the body from the inside out. During this process, the internal energy in the body will also move along with it.

In the process of practicing Qigong, qi and blood circulate along with it. While qi and blood circulate, the inner breath follows suit. Only in this way can we achieve the state of dual cultivation both internally and externally.

Fortunately, Li Ming's [Qingsong Ruyi Jin] is also a foundational skill. After practicing this skill to great perfection, no matter what kind of martial arts you practice in the future, you will be able to exert greater power and get started faster. , and [Hunyuan Gong], which is a real skill, do not conflict with each other, and the two can also be practiced together.

After choosing [Hunyuan Gong], Li Ming insisted on practicing [Qingsong Ruyijin] and devoted himself to the serious study of [Hunyuan Gong]. In the blink of an eye, a month passed.

Early this morning, the mellow red sun rose from the east, illuminating the entire world with its golden light.

The hard-working people all got up early, cooked breakfast, and began to work for survival after eating.

By the time the sun has fully risen, most of the breakfast has been finished.

"Huh~"

In the courtyard of the Li family in Yishan Town, Li Ming's whole body seemed to be moving slowly, but in fact, he used all his strength to push forward with every movement. The breathing in his mouth was as heavy as that of a buffalo. With the movement of his breathing, each movement continued. Play slowly.

"簌~~"

The soles of the shoes moved lightly, splashing up the loose soil on the hard soil surface. Li Ming's muscles were as tight as a bowstring, and until the next movement, they relaxed like fat. In this way, one tightening and one loosening, he continued to operate [Hunyuan Gong] ]'s power.

Xu Jin, the Taoist preacher, nodded repeatedly while watching, with a smile on his face. He thought that he was indeed a person with outstanding talents, and he was worthy of being a genius who passed the examination at the age of sixteen.

This [Hunyuan Gong] is one of the top ten true skills of [Qingsong Temple]. If ordinary people don't practice it for three to five months, they may not even be able to get on the right track.

And this Li Ming, in just one month, he completely mastered [Hunyuan Gong] and officially entered the path of practice. Even if he is not convinced by this talent, he will not be convinced.

It wasn't until he finished the last movement that Li Ming stopped and turned to look at the Taoist master who had taught him for ten years with a smile.

"Yes, it took just one month to master [Hunyuan Gong] to a high standard. Even among the ancestors of [Qingsong Temple], only one or two people can match this talent."

Xu Jin spoke with emotion, then stretched out his hand to test the strength of Li Ming's muscles and bones, and nodded with satisfaction: "Now that your body has grown up, you have entered the formal practice of Zhen Gong. [Hunyuan Gong] The internal and external cultivation methods have the most amazing demands on resources and energy."

"It's just that the effect of [Yuanyuan Dan] has been somewhat behind. I will explain this to the temple next. During this period of time, you should keep a good grasp of the progress of your practice and don't practice too much. Wait until you can master [Jingyuan Dan]." ] Brought to you, after taking it you can practice freely."

Xu Jin's face was full of smiles. Li Ming immediately thanked him after hearing this: "Thank you, Master."

"Hey, you and I, master and disciple, don't have to worry about this. It's just that the [Jingyuan Pill] is expensive. Even if the Taoist temple pays 80% of the price for you, the remaining 20% ​​will still be consumed at a higher rate than the [Yuanyuan Pill] you are taking now. No. Do you know your home well enough?”

Xu Jin frowned, and Li Ming smiled and said, "Master, please don't worry, my family will definitely be able to come up with this money."
