4. Meet all the requirements of the Shenlong faction
Jin Xin was in contact with the wealthy and wealthy people in Shanyang County, who were closely related to the Shenlong Sect, and moved quickly.
In just one day, Jin Xin wrote to them all, telling them that Fu Yu asked them to add ten times the money to the Shenlong Sect every year and make up for the matter immediately this year.
Moreover, in his words, Jin Xin was aggressive towards the rich and wealthy people according to Fu Yu's intention, and seemed to not give them a chance to bargain.
Most of these wealthy and wealthy families are from businessmen.
The merchants value the most profit. When they knew that Fu Yu wanted to add ten times the money, they immediately exploded.
As for other wealthy and wealthy families who have connections with the imperial government, although they do not value interests very much like businessmen, they have to pay ten times more money at once, so their hearts are naturally not balanced.
Look, these people asked each other about the situation and knew that the Shenlong Sect was going to unilaterally increase the money by ten times, so they made an appointment with Tianxianglou, the largest restaurant in Shanyang County, to discuss whether to add money to the Shenlong Sect.
In the largest private room in Tianxiang Building, sixteen people dressed and looked very wealthy, gathered at a dining table, eating and drinking, and discussing with each other with each other.
"This damn Dragon Sect, I didn't expect that after having a proxy leader, I dared to speak out loud and ask us for ten times the price. All the money we gave them in previous years was really fed to the dog!"
"Yes! We have raised them for so many years and given them so much money to make them live. Otherwise, if they don't have to give birth, how could they survive until now? I didn't expect that they had no conscience at all! I don't know how to be grateful, and I'm still getting more and more demanding money from us!"
"That sect leader is actually Fu Long's only son. I heard that he is very young and handsome. It seems that because Fu Long has gone into seclusion, he is temporarily appointed as the sect leader. I don't know what this young man is thinking in his mind. He dares to raise so much price with us. Are you really not afraid of angering us?"
"Well! Originally, the Dragon Sect has been working with us at the original price for so many years. Now I want to increase the price. If I raise the price a little, it would be reasonable. However, after Fulong's son inherited the position of head, he actually raised the price ten times at once. Is this too big a lion's mouth?"
"They just want to be aware of money. Isn't the Shenlong Sect just a third-grade master, "Dragon Slayer" Fu Long? He is just a third-grade master, so he dares to ask us for such a high price? I don't give them money, so I don't believe it anymore. There are so many third-grade masters in the world, so I don't want his support, and I can't find anyone else to help me? Ten times the price, I can even hire a second-grade master, and even the original price, it's enough for me to invite other third-grade masters! Do I still care about having to invite Fu Long?"
"Yes! I think so too. We all agree with each other and cut off contact with the Dragon Sect. How can we maintain it without our financial supply!"
"Well! The Dragon Sect is too dark, so we should all unite to let them know that it looks good! At worst, we all go farther away and ask third-grade masters to cooperate with us to help us deal with the troubles in the future!"
...
At the beginning, some of them started to set up a rhythm and prepared to pull everyone into the water together, so that everyone could cut off the supply of the Dragon Sect's money so that the Dragon Sect would look good.
However, it is obvious that some people are opposed to this direct opposition to the Dragon Party, who ignores the mercy.
"I think we should talk to the Shenlong Sect well! Although they directly demand the price, our cooperation with them is similar to doing business. The most important thing in doing business is to ask for a price everywhere and pay it back on the ground. Since the Shenlong Sect has given the price, we will discuss it with them and let it reduce the price no longer!"
"You are really thinking too much! The letter sent to us by Shenlong was so aggressive, how could we make us bargain! They clearly stated that the lion spoke loudly and asked us for ten times the price. If they did not meet their requirements, they would definitely not have any contact with us."
"Maybe there will be any misunderstandings in this? I don't think the Dragon Sect will do such a thing suddenly!"
"Misunderstanding? How could there be a misunderstanding? Most of their disciples were taken into the sect by Fulong. They must have been afraid of being poor before, and after entering the Shenlong Sect, they did not live a better life. Now that they have a new leader, they want to take advantage of Fulong's retreat and make money with the new leader! Otherwise, even if Fulong raises the price, he would not have asked us for so much money."
"According to what you said, this matter may indeed be a matter of the Dragon Sect who deliberately fooled the new leader and asked the new leader to come and ask us for money."
...
Several more people were guessing this, and they seemed to have become masters of reasoning together, and could understand the whole story of this matter one by one.
Just when many people had automatically confirmed that it was the disciples of the Shenlong Sect who fooled Fu Yu into raising the price, and they could not discuss the price reduction with the Shenlong Sect and could form a group to cut off contact with the Shenlong Sect, suddenly a wealthy and wealthy family with close contact with the imperial court opened their mouths and proposed another possibility.
"I remember that Fu Long has been a third-grade master for twenty years!" A silk merchant named Song Duan spoke.
Because of the help of nobles in the court, Song Duan traveled around the country and made a lot of money by selling silk.
Therefore, in Shanyang County, Song Duan is definitely a big business than everyone else. It is precisely because of this that everyone present gave Song Duan face and did not dare to interrupt him directly.
"Son-wai Song has been around for more than twenty years, but to be precise, it should be twenty-two years."
"If I remember correctly, Fulong established the Dragon Sect after he was famous in the martial arts world twenty-two years ago."
"I still remember that twenty-two years ago, after Fu Long became a third-rank master, he intended to establish a sect and search for famous places and find good places to establish a sect."
"As a result, when Fu Long arrived in Shanyang County in March, he encountered bandits on Longshou Mountain blocking the road and robbed them. At that time, Fu Long was humiliated by the bandits and was furious, and he started killing. Not only did he destroy the robbers, but he also killed the bandits and drove the bandits together!"
"Later, Fulong discovered that Longshou Mountain has a beautiful scenery and a unique world. In addition, he felt that Longshou Mountain matched his name and was destined to be with him, so he decided to establish a sect in Longshou Mountain and build a Shenlong Sect."
"The reason why I remember this time so clearly is that the group of bandits entrenched on Longshou Mountain that Fulong destroyed at that time once robbed me of a batch of food, which caused me to suffer heavy losses at that time, which made me particularly hate them, and also made him remember more when this group of bandits was destroyed by Fulong."
Zhang Sheng, the boss of Zhang Ji Mixing in Shanyang County, replied to Song Duan.
Upon hearing this, Song Duan nodded and said, "Have you become a third-grade master for twenty-two years? If that's the case, then this matter may be like this!"
Everyone present was obviously confused when they heard Song Duan's words and couldn't understand them.
"Son-wai Song, what does it mean in your words just now?"
"Yes! Mr. Song is so confused that I can't understand."
"I always feel that Mr. Song has something to say. If Mr. Song knows something, please tell me!"
...
At the dinner table, a series of people felt that Song Duan seemed to know something, so they asked Song Duan to tell them what Song Duan knew.
After being told by everyone, Song Duan thought about his guess, which was actually not a secret, so he did not hide his own personal information and said it directly.
"Actually, this is just a little guess from Mr. Song. As for whether it is true, it's hard to say."
"However, since you have asked Song, then Song naturally won't hide his own personal information. He can only tell you what he thinks in his heart."
"You just said that if you increase the price by ten times, you can cooperate with second-grade masters. Have you ever thought that the reason why the Dragon Sect increased the price by ten times is because the 'Dragon Slayer' Fu Long has broken through to the level of a second-grade master?"
After Song Duan finished speaking, everyone present immediately shocked him.
"What? No, right? Is Fulong already breaking through to the realm of a second-grade master? Why haven't we heard any news yet?"
"Yes! We have met disciples from the Shenlong Sect before, and have never mentioned to us that Fulong is going to break through to the second-grade master!"
"This should be impossible? After all, it is difficult for a third-grade master to reach the second-grade master to reach the sky! Since ancient times, how many talented people have stopped at the third-grade master after reaching the third-grade master for the rest of their lives and have no progress! Fulong may not be able to reach the second-grade master, right?"
...
Everyone present, guessing with each word.
It was really what Song Duan said, and for them, the amount of information was too large for them to discuss.
If Fu Long really breaks through and becomes a second-grade master, then they have to reconsider whether they want to agree to the request of the Shenlong Sect to increase the money by ten times.
"I, like you, actually have doubts about Fulong breaking through to the second-grade master."
"However, when Fu Long was young, he was also a genius who entered the realm of the 'middle third-grade' master at less than 20 years old. Later, he became famous in the martial arts world and even made the name of 'Dragon Slaying Hand'."
"Especially seventeen years ago, when the Tang State was destroyed by the Chen State, he went to save his friend Tang Aizong alone, but ended up killing more than a thousand soldiers of Chen State and entering the Tang Capital Runshui City, which was surrounded by Chen State at that time, was simply a miracle."
"If Emperor Aizong of Tang had not been facing the great disaster of national destruction and would have killed the country, it would have been said that Fulong would have really rescued Emperor Aizong of Tang from the thousands of troops besieged by the Chen State."
"Fulong can do these earth-shaking things. I really think that after twenty-two years, he can really break through and become a second-grade master."
"I'm afraid that Fu Long will really break through and become a second-grade master. If we decide not to send contacts with Shenlong now, if Fu Long really becomes a second-grade master, then we will regret it."
When talking, Song Duan was even more worried.
"Son-wai Song, I don't think you have to worry too much. If Fu Long really becomes a second-grade master, but we no longer interact with the Dragon Sect, this will indeed cause us a huge loss. However, the only one is just a second-grade master. If we lose Fu Long, we can also hire other second-grade masters! As long as we can afford the price, there will definitely be second-grade masters who are willing to help us."
Zhang Sheng suddenly spoke and comforted Song Duan.
"I know what you mean. Although we can pay to invite second-grade experts from other places to cooperate with us, it is no longer a matter of whether or not it is a matter of money or not, but a matter of the future of our children in our family." Song Duan explained.
"How do you say this?" Zhang Sheng asked.
"According to the news from my people in the court, Master Wen Ping may be disarmament this year."
"What? Disarmament? No?" Zhang Sheng said in surprise. Even the others present were also surprised.
After all, it sounds incredible that the Fu Dynasty, which started its business through farming and war, swept across the world, could actually disarmament.
"There is nothing I can't do! Actually, you should have thought of it. Fuchao has already unified the world and has no rivals. Naturally, it will no longer require so many soldiers."
"After all, raising troops is too burdened for the court. Now the court does not need troops to unify the world, so naturally there will be a disarmament and reorganization of the army."
"In addition, Wen Pingye wants to hold the imperial examinations, select talents, and implement civil governance. The scholars in the court naturally want to suppress the favored military men who have been fighting for the past few years, so they spared no effort to support Wen Pingye in disarmament and reorganization of the army."
When everyone heard Song Duan talk about the reason for Fuchao's layoffs, they felt that Fuchao's layoffs were true, but they didn't understand why Song Duan mentioned this.
"Son Wai Song, even if the disarmament is true, what does your mention of this matter have to do with Fu Long breaking through to become a second-grade master?" Zhang Sheng asked again.
"There is naturally nothing to do with the two, but for us, both have a lot to do with us." Song Duan replied.
"What do you mean in this? Why does it have a lot to do with Fu Long becoming a second-grade master for us?"
"Because the court's disarmament this time was not just a simple disarmament and reorganization, but the court also used this to strictly stipulate the number of troops in various places. This led to the competition for military service in the future, so the court's requirements for recruitment in the future will definitely increase a lot."
"Raising the recruitment requirements?" Zhang Sheng murmured after hearing this.
"Yes! In the past, the imperial court recruited soldiers and all the military soldiers came to join the army. After the basic military assessment, they could become soldiers and make a fortune by making a fortune by making a fortune, but it will be different in the future."
"In the future, you may not be able to join the army by passing the military assessment. No matter how important it is, the court will also have to assess where the teacher is, how good the master is, etc., and even if you can test your reading and literacy level, you may even test your reading and literacy level."
"After all, the number of recruits in the army is limited. The imperial court will recruit new recruits from so many martial artists who want to find a way out every year. After the martial artist passes the basic military force assessment of military agents, the imperial court will definitely check the teacher to which you belong and ask whether your kung fu master is powerful or not. These will be the advantages that you can be more easily selected and successfully join the army."
"If others have similar force to you and your master is better than others, you may not be able to join the army because of this, but others may be defeated and will not be a soldier."
"Because your master is better than the other party, the court will think that you who are taught by your master will most likely be stronger than the other party taught by the other party, so you can become a soldier."
"You all should be like Song, and you all have martial arts students who want to be a good future in the army in the future. Now that you have heard Song's words, you should understand why Song said that Fulong broke through to the second-grade master, which has a lot to do with us, right?"
Song Duan looked at everyone present and said seriously.
Everyone present, after being reminded by Song Duan, also understood the importance of Fu Long in the current situation of Fu Chao after becoming a second-grade master.
After all, Fu Long has a good martial arts power, and the identity of a second-grade master is rare in Fuchao.
In addition, Fu Long had a very famous reputation in the martial arts world before, and the name of "Dragon Slaying Hand" is not a false one.
This also led to the fact that Fu Long had been instructed to have great advantages in the military assessment.
It can be said that this value is not ordinary!
If they don’t choose Fulong and go to other second-grade masters, let alone whether they have few friendships, will they be willing to guide their children like Fulong, who is deeply in love with them, just like them, they are willing to teach them, but the price raised by the other party may not be lower than that of Fulong.
After Song Duan's explanation, everyone present felt that the Shenlong Sect suddenly raised the price, even if it was proposed by Fu Yu, the new sect leader, it would definitely have nothing to do with Fu Long.
Even if Fu Long did not participate, he would definitely break through to the second-grade master. Otherwise, where would the Shenlong Sect get the confidence and dare to ask them for ten times more money.
However, for the future of the martial arts children in the middle school, they understood that even if they felt that the Lion of the Shenlong Sect spoke loudly, they could never refuse the Shenlong Sect and broke off contact with the Shenlong Sect in the future.
