Bright Moon Pavilion's Unofficial Disciple, Ten Thousand Miners

The monitoring content continued to play, fast-forwarding, and soon reached the part Lin Ze wanted to see.

The figure of the middle-aged man teaching swordsmanship that Lin Ze saw for the first time appeared on the screen.

"Greetings, Senior Uncle Gao."

Eight newly promoted Inner Sect Disciples learning swordsmanship saluted the middle-aged man.

Senior Uncle Gao, who was teaching swordsmanship, nodded slightly in response, and then opened his mouth without wasting words:

"Today, we will continue to learn the swordsmanship that every Inner Sect Disciple of my Bright Moon Pavilion must learn, Moonlight Covering the Sky. Yesterday, we learned the third move of the swordsmanship, 'Moonlight Filling the West Tower'. Today, we will learn the fourth move, 'Dawn Wind, Remnant Moon', but before learning, let's first check your mastery of the first three moves."

"If anyone hasn't learned them or has forgotten them, you can ask me at any time..."

Lin Ze frowned when he saw the process of teaching swordsmanship, starting directly from the fourth move.

Then, as the progress of the spot check proceeded, and the other disciples reproduced the first three moves from the sword techniques to the matching mental cultivation methods and force exertion methods one by one, Lin Ze's frown finally relaxed.

After a pause, Xue Fei added, "So, everyone won't miss the opportunity to work. If the wages you mentioned earlier can be honored, the little ones will have money to buy winter clothes and warm themselves by the fire, and this winter won't be so hard to endure."

After chatting about the Matsutake matter, the topic turned to the recruitment of miners.

Fengping's tone was very emotional when he said this.

With the teaching materials, my young miss can learn quickly, and doesn't have to spend eight years learning like those Formal Disciples.

And what Matsutake needs to do is to slightly reduce the shipment volume of Chicken Essence by two or three times.

"By the way, Matsutake, you asked me last time to help ask how many people in the surrounding villages of Clear River Township want to come to your Coal Mine as miners."

After thinking for a moment, Matsutake found a possible reason.

Fengping talked about the accounts related to Matsutake and showed the receipts to Xue Fei.

This is not just silver, it is the hope for our descendants to study and make our family prosperous!

After a period of brewing, cheap and durable coal has begun to gradually replace the use of firewood. It is believed that as time goes by, coal will completely occupy the fuel market of the entire Linze County, just as Matsutake initially estimated.

Originally, Matsutake was going to Li He to discuss how to properly settle these tens of thousands of miners, but now Matsutake found that it seems like there is no need to discuss it.

Looking at the scene of these Linze County residents using coal, and at this time, Matsutake suddenly thought of a question.

He didn't go to Li Yunhua, the County Magistrate's eldest daughter, for a date, but went to Li He, the County Magistrate, to talk about recruiting miners.

"Thank you, Matsutake, thank you, Matsutake."

In order to prevent himself from accidentally revealing anything in daily conversations, Matsutake also took the opportunity to unify Zi Yi's name from the Other World into Matsutake of the Main World.

Eating the food, his eyes were a little moist.

Seeing a table full of delicacies, Xue Fei became even more moved.

Then, he began to bring up the screens from the other cameras, restoring Senior Uncle Gao's posture of teaching swordsmanship from various angles, and after cutting out the nonsense, formed a complete teaching material for the Moonlight Covering the Sky swordsmanship.

Although the Sect-Protecting Skill of Bright Moon Pavilion is weak, it still cannot be used to run rampant in the Martial World until it reaches the pinnacle.

Once An Ye finished purchasing Matsutake, Zi Yi really let the elders have no Matsutake to eat for seven seasons a year. Before, it might not have been that there were fewer Matsutake than before, but no one discovered that it could be used to improve the secret seasoning recipe, so they let An Ye help with small-batch purchases.

There were no problems.

And the Mountain Gate had produced enough secret seasonings, so they gave this business to An Ye, letting him use it as a means of making money.

This was not a profit of seventy to eighty million, it was something to look forward to.

From that day on, Matsutake became a Bright Moon Pavilion disciple, like a sponge, beginning to absorb everything related to Xue Fei's cultivation needs.

From the mental cultivation methods to the moves, to the specific methods of exerting force.

In the future, as time goes by, perhaps the scope of coal use will radiate to the surrounding counties.

Matsutake sat in the carriage and moved forward. Along the way, he could see the shops and houses on both sides of the street, many of them burning Coal Stoves on the street to cook rice and boil water.

"The deposit you left for the first time has 179 taels and 770 coins left. Later, you gave me another 1,700 taels of silver, so I still need to give you 707 taels of silver and 950 Wen coins."

"Okay, when I go back, I'll tell everyone to change their tune and change Zi Yi to Matsutake."

At this moment, Matsutake only uses yellow croaker for production, which has a low output. Next year, when Matsutake is also put into the recipe, it will be logical to purchase more Matsutake. Not only can the Matsutake on the Cloud Mist Mountain Range be collected, but also the Matsutake from other distant mountains.

Literati and wealthy people feel that the snow scene is rare, shocking, and beautiful, but those wealthy people in the countryside have to pray that their houses will not be crushed by the snow, otherwise people will really die.

Xue Fei thought for a moment and found a solution.

Since it can make money, then what other problems are there?

When Matsutake makes money, they also make money.

This year, only a little over one hundred tons of dried Matsutake were collected. Next year, it is said that seven to eight hundred tons can be collected.

"An Ye doesn't know, recently, after the busy farming season, in addition to planting some vegetables and chopping firewood, everyone has nothing to do. Usually, the local gentry organizes to build bridges and pave roads for the township, or to serve some Corvée for the County Government Office outside the county."

If we can collect twice as much Zi Yi next year, then our An Family's annual income can be stabilized at over a thousand taels. At that time, not only can we support our descendants in studying, but our own living conditions can also be greatly improved, and we don't have to live a hard life anymore.

So, if you calculate it this way, the profit is still pretty good.

Before, Matsutake was not interested in these common-sense contents, so he didn't pay too much attention to it. From this moment on, it seems that it is not possible not to learn.

Fengping came here by ox cart accompanied by his two sons. He came here today to get acquainted with the place and settle the final payment for the Matsutake.

Inviting Xue Fei to sit down and drink tea, while chatting, Matsutake asked the chef to make a table of good dishes with Chicken Essence to entertain Fengping and his three sons.

At this time, Fengping recalled the extremely delicious meals he had eaten before, and felt saliva being secreted in his mouth.

And the Formal Disciple officially began to impart common sense to Xue Fei and learn Bright Moon Pavilion's introductory Xue Fei "Great Yin Long Fist".

This made Fengping, a countryman who had seen such a mansion for the first time, feel much less uneasy and inferior.

Next, Lin Ze roughly looked at the entire teaching process.

According to the content Senior Uncle Gao inadvertently mentioned during the teaching process, Lin Ze knew that this sword technique was indeed the superior An Family he thought it was.

Standing in the backyard to welcome Fengping's arrival, Xue Fei said with a smile.

Matsutake spoke, stating his new excuse.

After seeing Fengping and his son off, Song Jun had a servant drive the carriage towards the County Government Office.

It wasn't just Fengping, the Registrar, who had finished contacting clients; there were also some new clients he had developed these days through the influence of the firewood business.

But this was hindering Song Jun's progress in martial arts.

"Elder, it's been a few days since I saw you; you're still in good health."

After all, so far, he had only learned the common knowledge of An Ye and Xue Fei from the Zhang Family Fist Martial Hall.

After that, Xue Fei would systematically understand and learn this Moonlight Covering the Sky Swordplay from scratch.

The silver he was taking out at the moment was almost all the profit Fengping had made for Song Jun from purchasing Matsutake this time. A whole family had been busy for so long, and this was the reward they deserved.

Fengping felt a warmth in his heart at Xue Fei's initiative to greet him.

Fengping diligently helped him purchase Matsutake, giving him his first pot of gold, and he was about to turn the remaining Matsutake into cash, entering the ranks of billionaires. It was worth Song Jun treating him warmly.

When learning the Crane Step Tiger Form Fist before, Song Jun had systematically learned An Ye's common knowledge, such as meridians, acupoints, and martial arts taboos, so understanding the contents of this superior Xue Fei was not too difficult at the moment.

After finishing all this, Xue Fei began to make plans for the next step.

It wasn't just one, but many, and many courses were also included.

Only then did he say, "Elder, when you go back this time, please help to inform them that if they have time recently, they should go to the White Stone Village Coal Mine in Maple Forest Township to report. However many people come, I will take them all."

Handing these ingots of good quality to Fengping, Xue Fei's son helped him catch the money box, and the three of them examined the silver with joy on their faces.

This made Song Jun feel a little nauseous.

"Tomorrow, have them tutor Xu Sheng's son, Xu Yang, and start learning from scratch."

A few hundred or a thousand miners didn't matter, but if Fengping brought more than four thousand miners, plus the Yamen Runner's family members, servants, and fellow villagers, tens of thousands of young and strong men would gather together.

"Then, after winter, everyone will hide at home to rest; otherwise, they will freeze to death if they walk around outside in thin clothes."

Linze County, West Gate Cloud and Mist Alley, Lin Residence.

As a transmigrator who had awakened the wisdom of his previous life, Song Jun had read books for seventy years in total in both lives, and his mind was already mature. His learning ability was not comparable to those seventeen or eighteen-year-old half-grown children whose minds were not yet settled.

This kind of thing still had to be reported first, and a proper solution had to be given; otherwise, it would be easy for someone with ulterior motives to accuse him of plotting something wrong.

Chicken Essence was a very versatile excuse.

After Song Jun finished listening, he directly took out a small money box that he had prepared long ago.

"This year is a little better. Because Martial Nephew is purchasing Matsutake, everyone has some spare money to buy more winter clothes and meat. In previous years, it was even more difficult."

"In addition to the young and strong men in our Clear River Township, the young and strong men in the surrounding villages all want to come to you to be miners. I have compiled a list of everyone who wants to come. If it weren't for this matter, I would have come to your door a few days ago."

"This year's Matsutake harvest was a little late. Next year, we must start collecting earlier. Maybe we can collect twice as much Zi Yi as this year," Fengping said.

As soon as Fengping opened his mouth, it was more than four thousand miners.

"Martial Nephew, as of the last batch of Zi Yi entering the warehouse, the total is 740,000 catties. At a price of ten Wen per catty, the total is 2,080 taels of silver. The total cost of transporting these Zi Yi is 5,200 coins, which is also about seven taels and seven coins of silver."

"I just casually asked when collecting Matsutake, and as a result, I found out about more than four thousand miners."

Before understanding, it was time for practical exercises.

Hearing Matsutake say that, Fengping naturally came up with a new guess in his mind.

"It will save everyone trouble. This is a secret seasoning. You've had it when you ate with the younger daughter. It's extremely delicious."

Before making a decision, Matsutake finished doing the same thing, secretly placing a camera in the classroom where the Formal Disciples were taught to record the teaching content.

Smiling, he said, "That's right, there's nothing wrong."

However, after a slight attempt, Xue Fei frowned, because he found that his understanding of the practice method was not quite right. As soon as he started cultivating, he felt slight disturbances in his Inner Breath and Qi and blood.

Inside the money box were four fifty-tael silver ingots, one seven-tael, and one one-tael silver ingot.

With the demand for Matsutake in the Main World, putting this little Matsutake into the market will not cause too much fluctuation, and the price will not drop.

"It seems that Bright Moon Pavilion has its own unique method of understanding cultivation. The same phrase 'Qi Sea to Divine Gate' may be different from the conventional cultivation method."

"We'll cooperate again next year. I've researched a method of using Matsutake to make a secret seasoning. Next year, I'll definitely need more Matsutake. There's no need to laboriously send those Matsutake into the mountains again. Just pull them here in a cart."

"Oh, Matsutake is also Zi Yi, a new name I gave him."

Although this young man had already settled down in the city and lived in such a mansion, he had not changed in the slightest, still respecting me as he did when we first met.

"So many people? I thought a few hundred or a thousand people would be wrong."

After that, Matsutake invited the An Family to the study before starting to discuss serious matters.

Matsutake said in surprise.

"Take a look at this account, is there anything wrong?"

And Bright Moon Pavilion, as Xue Fei's sacred place, having its own exclusive method of circulating Inner Breath and terminology is not very strange.

But fortunately, Matsutake only tried it slightly and did not mobilize too much Inner Breath, and he recovered after resting for a while.

The previous estimate was eight thousand eight hundred taels of gold a year, but now it seems to have directly become eighty-eight thousand taels of gold a year, an annual income of one hundred and ten million.

Determined in his heart, he would teach his son when he returned. As long as Matsutake did not dislike them, the An Family must maintain a good relationship with Matsutake for generations.

Hearing this, Xue Fei was silent for a moment.

When I initially budgeted for coal profits, I calculated based on a scale of a thousand people. If I expand to a scale of ten thousand people now, and can sell all the coal, wouldn't my profit be able to increase tenfold?

"For the next period of time, for the superior cultivation methods or other cultivation methods taught by Bright Moon Pavilion, try to focus on collecting them. The main energy is still focused on learning the common sense of Bright Moon Pavilion's cultivation methods, and then formally start practicing the superior cultivation methods after thoroughly learning them."

After my previous observation, I can know that the main content learned by the Outer Sect Disciples of Bright Moon Pavilion is literacy and Strengthening the Foundation and Nourishing the Origin to lay the foundation for martial arts.

Cultivation is a very delicate thing. If you practice it wrong, it is very easy to have problems. If it is light, you will feel nauseous and want to vomit like I did just now. Forcibly practicing it may directly lead to death.

Closing the money box, Xue Fei thanked Matsutake repeatedly.

An 8,000-word update is delivered. That's all for today. The excitement continues tomorrow.
