Chapter 441 Industrial Crisis!

The sun is shining.

Chishan raised his horse's head high, snorted and exhaled hot air, and his streamlined muscles twitched, and his blood-red short hair was shining silver.

Liangqu threw off his stirrups, turned over and got off the horse, and told the two guys at the door to go in and report.

Just now he stepped over the threshold.

The news flew all over the martial arts hall like wings.

The apprentices on the second martial arts field of the martial arts hall had no intention of resting, and they rushed out like a tide.

The medicine collection team was eager to move, all wanting to go forward to see the legend of the martial arts hall.

A few apprentices took action and stepped out, and immediately someone took advantage of the chaos to squeeze in.

There was some unhappiness in the team, and the quarrels became louder.

The cook in the kitchen kept hitting the bucket with an iron spoon, and shouted loudly for those who cut in line to go to the back.

The poor boy sitting on the flower bed was closest to the door and grabbed the position at the first time.

Amid the crowd, a tall young man was seen coming towards the martial arts arena. He had a handsome appearance, a tall stature, two badges on his waist, and was full of vigor as he strode with his head held high. His appearance alone was better than the several senior brothers who taught him daily!

That was Senior Brother Liang?

His eyes were like torches, and he was holding a red horse.

His aura was overwhelming.

It perfectly matched the fantasy in my heart.

The legendary Senior Brother Liang, a real man!

His excited heart and trembling hands.

When someone approached, the apprentice blushed and greeted him awkwardly.

"Senior Brother Liang!"

"Morning, Senior Brother Liang!"

"Hello, Senior Brother Liang!"

"Yes, morning! Hello!"

Liang Qu walked through the corridor and nodded one by one, but he saw that the apprentices behind him kept coming up, and he was surprised for a moment.

Everyone is so enthusiastic?

When I am not out, there are many people coming to the martial arts hall?

"What are you all doing together? Spring is the season of growth, and the morning is the most important. How many times have you stood up and punched today?

Zhou Zhiyong, Zhang Xiaoming! You two were late for a quarter of an hour this morning, and you didn't seize the time to practice. Are you wasting your time here? You two spent money to come here, so you should be worthy of yourselves first!

And Song Yifei, Yu Faxian, you are all from the Second Hospital, why are you running to the front yard to join in the fun?"

The voice chiseled into the noise.

Hu Qi frowned and scolded them one by one.

Waved to Xiang Changsong and asked the people in front to go back quickly.

"Did you hear what Brother Hu said? Go back to stand up and practice. The year is in spring, and the day is in the morning. The morning is full of energy. Don't waste the good time.

If you break through the barrier today and practice your skills well, you will go to the Hebo Institute tomorrow. You may be assigned to work under Brother Liang!"

"The two brothers are right. Everyone, go back and practice."

Liang Qu echoed a few times.

Chen Jiechang and Li Libo came from the Second Hospital to help disperse the crowd.

The apprentices who came to join in the fun dispersed, and the order of the martial arts arena was restored.

Liang Qu smiled and said, "It's so lively in the hall today. There must be more than a hundred people, right? It's more than I came a few days ago."

Hu Qi shook his head.

"Master will come in the afternoon, so everyone is here. They all want to show up and leave a good impression. Usually there are only 70% to 80%, and you suddenly came, and everyone from the Second Hospital came out to join in the fun, so it looks like there are more people."

Xiang Changsong smiled and said, "In our sect, only Master and Junior Brother Liang are so impressive. If Senior Brother Lu, Senior Brother Yu, and even Senior Brother Xu come, they won't be so impressive."

"Me?" Liang Qu walked down the steps, turned around and bowed his head to dust off the dust, "Am I so impressive?"

Hu Qi and Xiang Changsong each took a step forward and dusted off the yellow dust.

The three brothers sat on the steps of the corridor, their shoulders in the shade of the trees, chatting and chatting.

The light and shadows were mixed.

Xiang Changsong pointed at a group of apprentices standing in line.

"They are apprentices from Yixing Town. There are several big towns near Pingyang Prefecture, and each town has its own martial arts school.

Yixing Town has the most apprentices, but they don't go to the martial arts school in their own town. They would rather walk more than ten miles every day to come to our place to learn.

When there are many apprentices from other places, they will stick together. There are many people in Yixing Town, so they stick together well, so they are more conspicuous and louder than people from other places.

Your story has spread, and it has spread more and more. Especially those whose families are not rich, they all take you as a goal and role model!"

"Huh?"

Liang Qu laughed.

From a fisherman to a water boy, many deeds are listed one by one, which is indeed amazing.

I never thought that according to the two brothers, with the help of the fellow villagers from Yixing Town who came to learn martial arts, you have become a legend in the Yang family martial arts school.

"Needless to say, the effect is good." Xiang Changsong patted Liang Qu's shoulder and raised his thumb. "With your reputation, after Pingyang became a prefecture, the number of people in the martial arts school did not decrease much. On the contrary, the other martial arts schools... Let's not talk about those far away. Do you remember Master Pang?"

"I can't forget that his strong bone disciple is working under me."

"The number of apprentices in Master Pang's school has almost been cut in half."

Liang Qu was stunned.

"Cut in half?"

"Yes, everyone has more choices." Hu Qi added, "After the prefecture was established, there are eight new martial arts schools in the prefecture city, not to mention the towns."

Xiang Changsong said, "Junior brother, why don't you guess, among the eight martial arts schools, how many have great martial arts masters?"

Liang Qu thought about it.

"Three?"

Xiang Changsong spread his five fingers.

Liang Qu was shocked: "Five! Why so many?"

"That's it! All five martial arts schools have great martial arts masters in name, but most of them are not as good as our master, they are in the middle or lower realm, only one is on par, and like our master, he only comes a few days a month."

Hu Qi added: "Master changed the date of instruction. He used to come at the end of every month, but now he comes every ten days. I think it should be a response measure."

Liang Qu frowned: "Eight martial arts schools, five have great martial arts masters, isn't the ratio too high?"

Is the competition so fierce in the prefecture city?

Could it be that all the families with great martial artists have opened martial arts schools?

Xiang Changsong said: "Because their martial arts schools are different from ours and Master Pang's, the outstanding apprentices in them can be selected, not as personal disciples, but to work in the corresponding great martial arts family."

Damn!

Assigning jobs!

Liang Qu was shocked and immediately realized why his master's martial arts school was at a disadvantage in the competition, and the surrounding martial arts schools were doing bleak business.

"It's not a martial arts school at all, it's clearly employee training."

Pingyang Town to Pingyang County, and then to the current Pingyang Prefecture, it has experienced two rounds of crossing the river.

In fact, the two rounds are completely different.

The first round was the people from the Demon Hunting Department, the Three Law Departments, and the River and Lake Office who were ordered to come. They are powerful, all second-generation, and their strength in both the open and the dark is no weaker than the second round, and even stronger.

But they came as individuals, not involving industrial interests, and eating the court's food.

On the contrary, the second round is mostly family relocation, to support a large family.

Naturally speaking, it brings industrial invasion, which is theoretically more complicated than the first round, and involves interests, and is more aggressive!

The decrease in apprentices in many local martial arts schools is a direct reflection of this!

To expand the industrial chain of each family, it is impossible to rely entirely on their own family members, and they must reasonably absorb outsiders.

Therefore, the essential purpose of a large family opening a martial arts school is completely different from that of Yang Dongxiong, who opens a martial arts school for a living.

It is not to make a profit from the martial arts school.

This income is dispensable.

The key is to cultivate talents by yourself, absorb them into your own family, and ensure fresh blood and vitality!

Liang Qu asked: "Brother, is their tuition cheaper than ours?"

Hu Qi tilted his head: "Brother, how do you know?"

"Because their purpose is not to make money, but to recruit people... I guess the quality of their teaching is usually average?"

"Not sure, we can't go in and learn secretly, but Changsong and I noticed that it's very loose inside. I heard from others that only the old apprentices put on a posture and let the subordinates follow. They don't care how well they learn. There are even those who are injured in practice. Unless they pay dozens of taels of silver, they will help one by one."

"You get what you pay for..."

As a substitute for the sect, the martial arts hall has many advantages.

Facing the general public, increasing the base of grassroots warriors, it is difficult to form local forces, reducing the difficulty of centralization, and at the same time, they can sit back and enjoy the fruits of others' labor and absorb the top talents from the martial arts hall.

Unfortunately, it is impossible to absorb all talents.

Especially those who have some talent, but not enough.

The big families open their own martial arts halls to absorb this part of talents, expand their influence, and win over various groups.

As long as you are initially screened out, the rest won't care about you. If you follow the old apprentice and make mistakes, it is a manifestation of "unintelligent".

However, this kind of "drunkard's purpose is not to drink" selection-based martial arts school will have a huge impact on Yang Dongxiong, who specializes in opening martial arts schools for profit.

After all, it is cheap, and it seems to have more opportunities on the surface. As for the remaining people who are injured...

People are driven by profit, no one will care, and they are more lucky. No one will think that they or their children happen to be the untalented eliminated.

"Can't our martial arts school arrange positions?"

"Where can we arrange it? The master is not from a wealthy family, and he has a lot of industries. He just opens a martial arts school on weekdays and doesn't do any business. He has some connections with the medicinal materials chamber of commerce. Can he be stuffed into the government?"

"This won't work."

Liang Qu was puzzled.

He knew how well the two senior brothers taught.

Bad money drives out good money, and this is the way of the world.

With Liang Qu's deeds as an example, the martial arts school can certainly be strong for a while.

But the family knows their own business, and there is no possibility of copying.

In the next few years, no one has imitated successfully. As an intangible castle in the air, the attraction naturally began to fade, and gradually considered reality.

It is true that Master Yang is better than other martial arts school owners, but the actual part of participating in teaching is very small, which cannot be a key part of the attraction of a martial arts school.

Xiang Changsong and Hu Qi understood this.

For a long time.

Liang Qu's eyes lit up.

"I have two ideas!"

Xiang Changsong asked: "What ideas?"

"One is that we cooperate with Shanghu Academy and let them send two teachers so that the apprentices can learn pinyin and literacy while they rest!"

Xiang Changsong was puzzled: "If we ask the academy to teach, won't our cost be high?"

"The tuition fee will also increase. Don't raise it too much. It's not cheap to go to the academy because there are many things to learn, such as writing articles, practicing calligraphy, and learning other classics.

We only add one more project and charge two or three taels of silver. We only teach literacy and nothing else!

And we open large classes, where one teacher teaches dozens of students. The teacher teaches his own lessons and the students learn by themselves. There is no need to teach students according to their aptitude and care about who learns well or not.

As long as you work hard, you can recognize a lot of words in three months. This is different from martial arts practice. Martial arts do not necessarily lead to success, but literacy is useful for life!"

Hu Qi, Xiang Changsong was thoughtful.

Many apprentices are not like Liang Qu. As a direct disciple, they have the opportunity to go to the academy for further study and the medical clinic to learn medicine, which is specifically to broaden their horizons and knowledge and develop in an all-round way.

When they enter the martial arts school, many people only learn the set of boxing techniques.

Anyway, they are taught by hand, and they do what they are taught. They don’t need to understand any secret books or meridians. They are still illiterate when they graduate, and they are neither high nor low.

On the contrary, literacy is very useful, and it is a real skill!

Hu Qi asked: "What about the second one?"

Liang Qu scratched his temples.

"Junior brother actually has an industry, farming."

Xiang Changsong wondered: "Farming? How much does it cost to cultivate an acre of land? Many apprentices have farmers at home. If they really learn it and go back to farming, isn't learning in vain?"

"I am planting medicinal herbs such as black-spotted frogs, golden-threaded leeches and rice. The scale is currently relatively small, but I am still trying to plant them when the weather gets hot.

Once this year is over, if the results are achieved, we will definitely expand. Then we may go to other counties to buy land.

Transporting, protecting, distributing, and guarding large quantities of medicinal materials all require manpower. If we can recruit people from Master, it would be good to employ them.

I personally think that this two-pronged approach is to teach literacy, get ahead in learning, and have other development paths. In addition, with a great reputation, the advantages will definitely be much greater than those of nearby martial arts schools! "

Hu Qi said: "Junior brother, I have a question."

"Senior brother, please tell me."

"We can teach literacy, but other martial arts schools can copy it differently? Are there any advantages to making wedding clothes for others?"

"So we have to work with Lake Academy to do it together! Let the academy send teachers here, or not send teachers and just lend us their names.

Literacy can be learned in other martial arts schools, but there is only one in Pingyang Prefecture, Shanghu Academy.

We want to focus on publicizing that we are teaching calligraphy in conjunction with the academy. For ordinary apprentices outside, it feels different. "

Xiang Changsong and Hu Qi fell into deep thought.

Junior brother always has good ideas, the two of them know it.

If you say you can expand the industry, you can certainly expand it.

Xiang Changsong murmured: "It sounds good. Anyway, there won't be much missing in the next one or two years. The development of junior brother's medicine field will take time..."

Hu Qi asked again: "What if other martial arts schools also borrow the name of the academy?"

The two senior brothers have a lot of problems...

Liang Qu spread his hands.

"I didn't think about it. Chief Zhao and the master are friends, so it's easier to negotiate with someone than an outsider.

Either we agree to use it exclusively for a few years and pay a large sum of money every year, or there is some other way to let the school follow the profits.

In short, after stabilizing the first few years, Pingyang Mansion has developed almost, and the basic impression has been made. Later, when the junior brothers' industry is fully developed, they will not be afraid of those outsiders, everyone is the same. "

Xiang Changsong and Hu Qi looked at each other.

"It's better to choose a day than to hit it. Let's go talk to the master!"

"Okay, I'm just about to go find Master to practice martial arts."

Liang Qu stood up and patted the dust on his clothes.

"Oh, yes, I haven't asked my junior brother yet, why did you come to the martial arts gym today?"

"Ha." Liang Qu slapped his forehead, "I almost forgot that my junior brother discovered a treasure under the water, and in a matter of seconds, a strange phenomenon will appear in the world.

I came here specifically to ask the two senior brothers to prepare in advance, take care of things, and go over together to join in the fun. "

Hu Qi, Xiang Changsong: "?"

…

In the hall.

Hu Qi drank tea silently to Changsong and listened to Liang Qu's plan.

"That's a good idea."

Yang Dongxiong stroked his beard and was quite interested in Liang Qu's ideas.

Liang Channel: “For three months, I only taught Pinyin during martial arts breaks, which the disciples thought was more than enough for adults.

At that time, there will be two books with pinyin annotation in the martial arts hall for borrowing. After reading them carefully, you will gradually become able to read and write, which is equally easy for teaching. "

Yang Dongxiong nodded: "I will talk to Zhao Shanchang another day."

Pingyang County became Pingyang Prefecture.

It is indeed time for martial arts schools to make changes. If we wait until the situation is really weak and the impression is finalized, it will be too late.

"Come on, let's go to the backyard."

Yang Dongxiong stood up and Liang Qu cupped his fists.

"Master, wait a moment, disciple, I have one more thing to do."

"What's up?"

Hu Qi, Xiang Changsong perked up.

coming!

The two straightened their backs and looked up at their master.

Yang Dongxiong caught a glimpse of the two people's expressions from the corner of his eye, and his eyes flashed.

"Disciple received news a few days ago..."

Liang Qu talked about the long-lasting energy of heaven and water, and the possibility of the phenomena of heaven and earth appearing in the world. During this period, he concealed the process of obtaining the information and only talked about the results.

Silence.

Yang Dongxiong rolled his eyes.

"Is this the big thing you talked about a few days ago?"

No response!

Hu Qi, Xiang Changsong was greatly disappointed and leaned back.

Liang Qu nodded.

"Single flax cannot make a thread, but twin threads can be twisted into a rope. When a strange phenomenon appears, there must be a mixture of fish and dragons under the water, and there will only be more monsters coming to try their luck.

I’m going to find the master today, but I’ll also go to see Brother Yue Long later. Then I’ll help you and help the disciples build a few acres of land under the water. "

With the help of experts, it is enough for Liang Qu to realize the vision of heaven and earth, and it will also be beneficial to other people and help each other.

As for whether the competition for long energy will increase the number of abnormalities.

Liang Qu didn't know what level Xu Yuelong had reached, but without the help of a grandmaster, he wanted to go underwater and compete with the water tribe for longevity.

Enough.

Most likely it won't be taken into account.
