Martial Arts Have Mastery

After strolling around for a while, Shen Ling and Yang Jian reached the end of the village.

Looking at the village, Yang Jian couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "I didn't expect this village to be so peaceful and peaceful."

"It doesn't count."

Shen Ling smiled and shook his head, "There are still a lot of bandits on the green hills over there. Their existence is always a trouble for the surrounding villages."

Yang Jian was even more puzzled: "Then why isn't a single villager here worried about this?"

Shen Ling smiled and said, "It's very simple. When bandits can no longer threaten their personal safety, they don't have to worry anymore."

Yang Jian was at a loss.

Afterwards, Shen Ling led Yang Jian to the south of the village.

Yang Jian looked at the hundreds of young men standing in the huge open space in front of him, and everyone was working hard to slash.

Although sweat had soaked their clothes, their movements were meticulous and uniform.

Looking at this scene, Yang Jian only had two words in his mind——

marvel.

Shen Ling looked at the hundreds of young men in front of him, with a smile on his face: "They haven't practiced martial arts for long, but it's enough to deal with those bandits and robbers. With their protection, bandits can't threaten this village."

Yang Jian looked at Shen Ling and said, "Mr. Shen has formed an army..."

Hearing these two words, Shen Ling shook his head, and said calmly: "I never thought about setting up any army and letting them practice martial arts, just to let them have a little bit of self-protection."

Yang Jian froze for a moment, surprised by Shen Ling's calmness.

after a long time.

"Mr. Yang, what do you want to say?"

Shen Ling looked at Yang Jian who was in constant contemplation, and asked actively.

Yang Jian nodded: "I want to ask, is there any surplus land in the Shen family? I just came to the village and I want to find something to do. It would be great if I could rent some land."

"This..." Shen Ling hesitated.

It is no longer an exaggeration for the former state shepherd of Yizhou to become a sharecropper here.

After pondering for a moment, Shen Ling said slowly: "The current land of the Shen family has been leased out, and there is really no way to get another piece of land for you, Mr. Yang."

Yang Jian nodded.

Shen Ling continued: "Besides, making Mr. Yang a tenant farmer is too unfair. Why don't I build a school in the village, and Mr. Yang, it would be a good thing for you to take the time to teach the children in the village how to read and write."

Yang Jian looked at Shen Ling unexpectedly: "School?"

Shen Ling nodded: "That's right."

After receiving Shen Ling's affirmative answer, Yang Jian felt even more surprised and extremely puzzled.

In this world, no landlord is willing to control whether the children of the tenant farmers can read or not. Even the Emperor Daqian has never considered this point.

Yang Jian didn't know, and Shen Ling didn't actually think about it...

It's just that his arrival seemed like an opportunity, which just made Shen Ling think that he could build a school and give the children something to do.

Yang Jian lowered his head and said softly, "Then thank you, Mr. Shen."

"you are welcome."

Shen Ling smiled.

After Yang Jian's affairs were completely settled, Shen Ling turned around and came to the 'square' in the south of the village.

"Young Master Shen."

"Young Master Shen."

"Shen..."

As soon as he approached there, Shen Ling heard the names endlessly.

He nodded in response one by one, looked at these young men who were sweating profusely, and said with a smile: "Pay attention to the balance between work and rest, don't practice and hurt your body, it's not worth the loss."

A man said carelessly: "Young Master Shen, don't worry, we all know well and won't be brave."

Shen Ling nodded.

He looked at the more than a hundred young men in front of him. These were the first batch of people in the Dian village to follow him to practice the mountain saber technique, but there were four missing.

Thinking of this,

Shen Ling raised his head slowly: "I came today to teach you another set of exercises."

All the young and strong clicked their tongues secretly: "There are still exercises?"

Almost everyone in the Daqian Dynasty knew how expensive exercises were.

Shen Ling's willingness to teach them a ninth-level low-level mountain-opening knife technique has already excited the young and strong tenant farmers, but they didn't expect that there would be a second technique.

"The name of the exercise is "Iron Cloth Shirt."

Shen Ling spoke slowly, and then explained the essentials of Iron Bushan's mind.

After a while, the young adults began to wail: "Young Master Shen, why is this exercise so difficult..."

With a smile on his face, Shen Ling said calmly: "Normal exercises are like this. Is it normal? Did I ask you to memorize the part?"

The young adults looked at each other in blank dismay.

Shen Ling repeated it several times tirelessly, and then began to lead the young and strong tenant farmers to learn the movement part of the iron cloth shirt.

The movements are difficult, but more than a hundred young and strong are studying in a uniform manner, and the scene is very spectacular.

In a blink of an eye.

The afternoon passed.

Out of more than a hundred young adults, only one person has produced a trace of internal strength, and the others have not even touched the door to success.

Shen Ling's expression was calm and indifferent.

These young and strong tenant farmers are not like him, they can improve their skills through practice again and again.

Taking the young man who had produced a sliver of internal energy in the iron cloth shirt as an example, Shen Ling estimated that it would take half a year before he could successfully cultivate the first level.

"Is Mr. Shen going back?"

Seeing Shen Ling's movements, a young man asked.

"Well, ready to go back."

Shen Ling nodded and said, "I didn't go back yesterday, so I have to go back today anyway, otherwise the old man should be in a hurry again."

With that said, Shen Ling bid farewell to the group of young adults who were reluctant to give up, and rode on his horse to head towards Qihua City.

Back to Qihua City.

Shen Ling first went back to the Shen Mansion to meet Master Shen, then turned around and walked out of the gate of the Shen Mansion to Chennan Commercial Firm.

On the third floor of Chennan Commercial Firm, Shen Ling met Miss Qin.

"Master Shen is here."

Miss Qin spoke softly, and Shen Ling sat directly beside her.

Picking up the teacup, before he could drink it, Shen Ling said first, "I've finished my work, so I'll let you know."

"Then thank you, Young Master Shen."

Miss Qin nodded, Shen Ling couldn't see any flaws from his expression.

To be honest, at a certain moment, Shen Ling even suspected that Miss Qin had appointed those assassins. This kind of suspicion was absurd, but it still existed in Shen Ling's heart.

However, Shen Ling didn't care that much...

He didn't bother to get to the bottom of those conspiracies, intrigues, and other things as long as they didn't involve him and the people he cared about.

"Okay, then I'm leaving."

After drinking the tea in one gulp, Shen Ling stood up and prepared to leave, without delay.

"Wait a moment."

Miss Qin raised her hand and said slowly, "I want to ask Mr. Shen to help me again, can you?"

Shen Ling raised his head directly: "What's the matter? I'll think about it."

Miss Qin stood up and said, "I want to ask Mr. Shen to help me recover a batch of goods. How about paying one-third of the goods' profits?"

"Recover the goods?"

A trace of doubt flashed in Shen Ling's eyes.

Miss Qin nodded, and said slowly: "A batch of goods from Chennan Trading Company was robbed by a group of robbers from Qingshan. I would like to ask Mr. Shen to help me recover these goods."

Shen Ling remained skeptical: "Who dares to touch the things of Chennan Commercial Bank?"

"Have!"

Miss Qin nodded.
