Chapter 487 Three Valleys, Three Yellow Plum Trees

Three-pronged approach, completely pulling all the Jianghu forces into the camp of the court.

Establishing a clan hierarchy system and granting official status is equivalent to the court incorporating all the clan forces.

Establishing a martial arts academy is equivalent to establishing a martial arts training system belonging to the court, just like training scholars, setting up prefectural schools, state schools, county schools, etc.

The martial arts supervision agency is both a shackle for the clan forces and a promotion ladder for the clan forces. According to Yang Zhengshan's idea, the officials and yamen runners of the martial arts supervision agency will be selected from the clan forces.

In this way, the court will have a strong restraining power over the civilian clan forces.

If any force resists the court, there is no need for the court to mobilize the army. Only one order is needed, and other Jianghu forces can wipe out the resistance.

At the same time, a large number of clan forces turning to the court is also conducive to the court collecting news in the Jianghu.

For example, the Shenyang Sect, in fact, many forces in the underworld are more informed than the court. Although the actions of the Shenyang Sect are secretive, they cannot be hidden from everyone. There will always be someone who finds some clues.

It's just that these clues are difficult to reach the court.

But with the martial arts supervision agency, it's different. Any sect can pass the news to the court.

With the sects all over the world as a base for collecting information, what else can be hidden from the court.

However, there is a huge problem with these three proposals, that is, a lot of silver is needed.

To grant an official body, you must give a salary, and this salary cannot be too low.

It is even more troublesome to set up a martial arts academy. Not only do you need a school building, you also need to hire martial artists as teachers, and even set up corresponding official positions.

The martial arts supervision agency needs a large number of people. Without a lot of silver as support, it is impossible to establish a strong martial arts supervision agency.

After Yang Zhengshan finished writing the memorial, he couldn't help but grin.

Damn, it is impossible to accomplish these three things without millions of taels of silver.

And the court will have to spend a lot of money as salary every year.

Take the warrior supervision agency for example. Darong has more than 130 prefectures, and each prefecture must set up a government office. A government office must have at least two or three hundred warriors, which means tens of thousands of people.

The salary of a warrior must be more than that of an ordinary soldier. The annual salary of a warrior in the body-building realm must be at least 50 or 60 taels of silver, which is a million taels!

After calculating this account, Yang Zhengshan felt that his proposal seemed a bit whimsical.

Setting up a warrior supervision agency is almost equivalent to adding a border town. If a martial arts academy is established, it is equivalent to adding another border town.

However, Yang Zhengshan thought about it and finally submitted this memorial.

In any case, his proposal is still very constructive. As for the problem of silver, we can find a way to solve it.

After submitting the memorial, Yang Zhengshan completed the task assigned by Emperor Yanping.

The next day, Yang Zhengshan wanted to continue to browse the cultivation experience in the Canggong Pavilion, but he didn't expect that there would be distinguished guests before he left the house.

"My Lord, Prince An and Prince Dai are here to visit!"

In the main courtyard of the Marquis's Mansion, Yang Zhengshan had just changed his clothes when Wu Hai hurried over to report.

Yang Zhengshan slapped his head. Damn, he forgot about the two masters.

When he came back yesterday, he was only concerned with writing memorials, and he had forgotten about Prince An and Prince Dai's apprenticeship.

"Let's go, take a look!"

Yang Zhengshan tidied his clothes and walked towards the front yard.

When he arrived at the front yard, he found that it was not only Prince An and Prince Dai who came, but also a large group of followers with gifts.

"Master!"

When Prince Dai saw Yang Zhengshan, his eyes immediately became bright.

Yang Zhengshan's eyes swept over the two and finally fell on Prince An.

He had seen Prince Dai many times, but it was the first time he had seen Prince An.

Prince An and Prince Dai were both born to the Queen. They looked very similar, but Prince An was thinner and looked a bit gentle, unlike Prince Dai who was so lively.

"I, your old minister, pay my respects to His Highness Prince An and His Highness Prince Dai!" Yang Zhengshan clasped his fists and bowed.

Prince An looked at Yang Zhengshan. He was naturally familiar with him. Not to mention Yang Zhengshan's fame in the past, the strength he showed when he killed Chi Jun in public was enough to make Yang Zhengshan famous.

When an innate warrior takes action, it has always been something that countless warriors talk about.

Yang Zhengshan already had the title of the first person under the innate in the martial arts world, and now he has become an innate warrior, which is even more worthy of discussion by many people.

As for worshipping Yang Zhengshan as his master, Prince An did not resist. Yang Zhengshan was an innate warrior and was qualified to be his martial arts master. Moreover, Yang Zhengshan was also a famous general with outstanding military exploits, which made him even more worthy of worshipping.

"Disciple Chen Zhaojun greets Master!" Prince An bowed in return.

Seeing this, Prince Dai also hurriedly bowed in return and said, "Disciple Chen Zhaoxuan greets Master!"

Yang Zhengshan smiled, "Please, Your Highnesses!"

When a prince pays homage to his master, it is naturally not like the martial artists who kowtow and offer tea. Although the princes also have to respect their teachers, there is no saying that a teacher is a father for life.

If the master can be the father of the prince, then what is the emperor?

Yang Zhengshan invited the two into the hall, and Prince An took out a gift list and handed it to Yang Zhengshan, "Master, this is the gift for our two brothers to pay homage to the master!"

Yang Zhengshan glanced at the gift list. Don't say it, the two princes are still very sincere, and this gift list is not light.

"Then I won't be polite!"

He didn't refuse and signaled Wu Hai to accept the apprenticeship gift.

"It's good that the master doesn't mind!" Dai Wang smiled innocently.

This kid must be very happy. Since he entered the door, his mouth has been grinning and never closed.

On the contrary, An Wang seemed polite, calm and steady.

No wonder Emperor Yanping has decided to make An Wang the crown prince. At least now it seems that An Wang still has the appearance of a crown prince.

The three of them sat down and served tea. Yang Zhengshan asked again: "Your Highness An Wang should have other courses?"

An Wang Chen Zhaojun was born in the sixteenth year of Chengping. He is now twenty-one years old. Unlike Dai Wang, who is only sixteen years old and still a simple teenager.

As the future crown prince, An Wang has much more to learn than Dai Wang.

An Wang's mansion has six instructors, three civil and three military, while Dai Wang's mansion has only two instructors.

Therefore, Prince An certainly cannot come to Yang Zhengshan every day for teaching. Even Yang Zhengshan's teaching is secondary to him.

"Yes, disciples usually study literature in the morning and practice martial arts in the afternoon."

"And the disciples are stupid. After practicing for more than ten years, they are just beginning to enter the realm of warriors!"

Prince An said with some shame.

In terms of martial arts talent, he is indeed not as good as Prince Dai.

Prince Dai was already a warrior at the age of sixteen, while he just became a warrior last year.

Yang Zhengshan thought about it and said, "Then Your Highness Prince An will come every five days in the future, from Weishi to Youshi, two hours are enough!"

There is no need to guard every day to teach disciples. It is enough for him to come and give some pointers in a few days. By the way, he can also use some spiritual spring water for Prince An.

"Master, can I come every day?"

Before Prince An opened his mouth, Prince Dai couldn't help it. He finally worshipped Yang Zhengshan as his teacher, and he didn't want to see Yang Zhengshan every three or five days.

"Xuan'er!" Prince An scolded dissatisfiedly.

The King of Dai shrank his neck, "I just want to practice with Master!"

"Don't talk nonsense, Master has his own arrangements!" King An said.

It seems that the King of Dai is very afraid of this elder brother. Brothers born from the same mother must be closer than other brothers.

"Disciple will follow Master's arrangements!" King An said to Yang Zhengshan again.

Yang Zhengshan nodded and smiled, "Then it's settled. As for His Royal Highness the King of Dai, if His Royal Highness the King of Dai feels bored practicing, he can follow Chengye to practice in the manor outside the city."

"The guards there are all my personal guards in Chongshan Town. They are not only powerful, but also proficient in military affairs. Although they are lacking in strategy, they are quite experienced in marching and fighting."

Upon hearing this, the King of Dai showed an excited look on his face again, "Disciple knows that it is Master's personal guard camp. I followed Master to kill people everywhere in Hudi. In eight days, I broke seven Hu tribes and was invincible!"

The existence of the personal guard camp is no secret. Yang Zhengshan has no need to hide it, and he cannot hide it.

The King of Dai had obviously inquired about Yang Zhengshan's record.

"As long as His Royal Highness the King of Dai doesn't mind!" Yang Zhengshan stroked his beard and said with a smile.

"No, no, I will go to the farm with Brother Chengye to receive training!" said the King of Dai.

"Ahem, the seniority is wrong!" Yang Zhengshan reminded.

The King of Dai was stunned, "Chengye nephew!"

Yang Chengye was one year older than him. When they met before, they chatted quite congenially and were about to call each other brothers, but now that they suddenly became senior, the King of Dai was a little overwhelmed.

Yang Zhengshan looked at the sky outside and said, "Since the two princes are here today, let me see your progress in training first!"

After that, he brought the two to the yard and let them show their martial arts.

The weapon that King An practiced was a sword, but this did not affect Yang Zhengshan's guidance to him. It would not be an exaggeration to describe his swordsmanship as a mediocre skill.

In comparison, the Dai Wang's spearmanship was quite good.

Yang Zhengshan quickly entered the role of a master and began to instruct the two.

His experience as a master is naturally beyond doubt. There are so many children in the Yang family, and none of them was not personally taught by him.

After practicing for half an hour, Yang Zhengshan asked someone to brew a pot of Dong Lingchun, and let the two rest while drinking tea. After drinking tea, they practiced for another half an hour.

Near noon, Yang Zhengshan did not keep the two for dinner at home. He gave them two jars of Baicao wine and sent them away.

In the afternoon, Yang Zhengshan stayed in the Canggong Pavilion for another two hours and did not return to the mansion until the evening.

The next day, Yang Zhengshan came to Sanshan Valley.

Sanshan Valley, Wanfu Mountain, Wanshou Mountain, and Wansui Mountain are connected in a triangular shape, but if you want to enter the valley, you can only enter from the gap in the south, and you have to cross the mountains in other directions.

The three mountains are surrounded by the garrisons of the 12th Battalion of the Imperial Guards. To enter Sanshan Valley, you must pass through the camp of the Wuxiang Guard.

Holding the Xiantian Order, Yang Zhengshan easily passed through the camp of Wuxiangwei and entered the Three Valleys.

However, when he passed the entrance of the valley, he was surprised to find that the entrance of the valley was actually dug out by humans.

Originally, the two mountains were connected, but a passage was dug out.

The passage was only more than three feet wide, with cliffs on both sides six or seven feet high and about twenty feet long. There were soldiers of Wuxiangwei on duty inside and outside the passage.

Walking out of the passage, there was an open space in front of him, and looking around, it was a scene full of poetic and picturesque scenery.

The red peach blossoms were covered with night rain, and the green willows were covered with morning smoke.

The layers of green mountains and forests surrounded the entire valley, as if they were isolated from all the hustle and bustle, and the quiet atmosphere was intoxicating.

The dozens of pavilions covered by green branches and leaves add a touch of ancient charm to this beautiful valley.

The sun was shining brightly in the sky, and the golden sunlight reflected on the green tiles of the pavilions, as if depicting a peaceful and meaningful painting in a light touch.

This was the first time Yang Zhengshan had seen such a beautiful scenery, which made him a little absent-minded for a while.

However, when he came to his senses, his attention was attracted by a tall tree at the back of the valley.

From a distance, it looked like a canopy supporting the top of the mountain, lush and green.

Yang Zhengshan took a breath!

Three yellow plum tree!

This is obviously not what a plum tree should look like, but as a spiritual fruit tree, no matter how magical it is, it is acceptable.

Looking back at the passage that was cut like a knife, and then at the huge tree crown in the distance.

Yang Zhengshan seemed to understand something.

Legend has it that Taizu accidentally discovered a spiritual plant and obtained a large number of spiritual fruits. His cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds. After years of hard work, he achieved the innate realm in one fell swoop.

Now look at this Sanshan Valley, the rumor should be true.

If it were not next to Kyoto, few people would come to this valley, and Kyoto!

Yang Zhengshan did not know when Kyoto City was built, but it was certain that the Kyoto of Sheng Dynasty was not here.

In other words, Taizu of Dayong chose Kyoto here because of this Sanhuang plum.

Is this a bit too much emphasis on Sanhuang plum?

No!

All that Taizu did was worth it.

The value of Sanhuang plum is definitely worth Dayong putting Kyoto next to it.

A Sanhuang plum represents a steady stream of innate warriors, and the importance of innate warriors to the dynasty needs no further explanation.

It cannot be said that Dayong has been passed down to this day relying on this Sanhuang plum, but the fact that Dayong can be passed down to this day is definitely due to this Sanhuang plum.

At this time, Yang Zhengshan had a new understanding of the value of spiritual plants.
