Chapter 322 Gods

The next day, Song Jia rushed back to Houfu.

Since the founding of the Dongli Sword Sect, there has been an endless stream of people who go up to the mountain every day to learn from their masters.

Under the leadership of Song Jia, the sect flourished day by day.

Of course, it is still far from the famous schools such as Wudang and Quanzhen in the Song and Ming Dynasties.

First, the sect has a single technique. Except for "Nine Yin Manual" and "Yue Nv Sword Manual", there are no other martial arts cheats that can be handed out, which leads to the decline of the school's yin and yang.

Second, masters in the field are scarce. Apart from Song Jia, there was no second master, all of them were disciples recruited by Song Jia. Even Song Jia herself, because her training time is too short, her reputation is not well known in the world.

Third, there is a shortage of disciples with excellent qualifications. After the system opened up the setting of aboriginal qualifications, Song Jia checked the qualifications of the disciples in the Tanmen, and there were very few first-class qualifications.

The only genius disciple is Cui Tianqi.

The difficulty of running a sect is no less than that of running a territory.

How easy is it to be a good leader?

Right now, the history of the wilderness has only advanced to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and martial arts has not yet flourished. In the middle and later stages of the game, with the addition of Tang, Song, Yuan and Ming, the major sects of the rivers and lakes will appear in the wilderness one by one.

At that time, it was the beginning of the rivalry in the rivers and lakes.

Therefore, Song Jia must seize this precious period to enhance the heritage of Dongli Sword Sect. Otherwise, when Wudang, Shaolin and other major sects show up in the wilderness, the Dongli Sword Sect will have no bright future and will disappear from everyone.

Ouyang Shuo was helpless for the difficulties Song Jia encountered. The last time Li Feixue came to Shanhai City with Mulanyue, Ouyang Shuo thought about tricking Li Feixue into Dongli Sword Sect.

Unfortunately, Li Feixue is devoted to Mulanyue and never wants to leave.

Song Jia is also a ghostly person, she has already set her mind on boxing master Lin Yue. Lin Yue runs a martial arts gym, opens doors to teach apprentices, and usually acts in an unusually low-key manner.

What Song Jia meant was to invite Lin Yue to serve as the elder of the Dongli Sword Sect, and to authorize Lin Yue to open an independent hall called Bajitang, responsible for teaching the "Bajiquan Sutra".

In this way, there are both martial arts cheats and masters, killing two birds with one stone.

The conditions offered by Song Jia were not unreasonable, and she was also full of confidence.

It's a pity that when Song Jia came to the door for the first time, she touched her nose and was rejected by Lin Yue.

Song Jia was not a person who gave up lightly, she was thinking about how to persuade Lin Yue again, and even begged Ouyang Shuo to intercede.

As half of Lin Yue's disciple, Ouyang Shuo knew very well about Lin Yue's personality. Lin Yue's thoughts were very upright, seemingly gentle, but his heart was as firm as a rock. He would never compromise or change his mind just because Ouyang Shuo stepped forward.

Back then, when Ouyang Shuo invited Lin Yue to join the army, he was still rejected.

Things have been delayed like this, and there has been no turning point so far.

Ouyang Shuo once taught Song Jia face-to-face advice, Lin Yue's weakness lies in his hidden disease. Because of his unmentionable illness, Lin Yue seemed to have a low self-esteem, or he was in self-imposed exile, and he no longer had the desire to make progress.

A person without pursuit is very scary. Otherwise, how do you say that you can be strong without desires? ! No amount of fame or wealth can lure Lin Yue to the present.

But if the precious medicine can be found, Lin Yue's hidden illness can be cured. With Lin Yue's personality, with such a great kindness, he would naturally agree to any request.

Song Jia was both happy and worried after hearing the mystery told by Ouyang Shuo. The joy is that a breakthrough has finally been found, but the worry is that the precious medicine is hard to find, and everything depends on chance.

As for the cheats, Ouyang Shuo regretted it a little now. He shouldn't have sold all those gold-level authentic cheats back then. At least a dozen copies could be kept.

If you want to buy it now, the price will be high!

After the auction, a batch of authentic cheat books appeared on the super trading platform one after another. At the beginning, the unit price of Ouyang Shuo's sale was about 700 gold coins, which was already a huge profit.

This time, the seller's heart was even darker, and the price of a single book reached 1,000 gold coins, which made all the adventure players jump their feet and had to reluctantly buy it.

If Ouyang Shuo's expectations are correct, this mysterious seller should be Feng Qingyue from Jianxia County. This little girl was really able to bear it. She endured it for half a year before she made a move.

In this sale, Jianxia County estimated that 70,000 to 80,000 gold coins would be taken away at once, which is really crazy. This battle alone has made Feng Qingyue famous all over the world, no wonder she was able to be among the top three female Zhuges in her previous life.

***********

Starting yesterday, a large number of personnel and materials, under the deployment of the Household Registration Department and the War Preparedness Department, began to put in place one by one, and assembled at the port of Beihai City. There is an endless stream of boats passing through the canyon river.

Hearing that the Marquis of Lianzhou was going on an overseas expedition to develop overseas islands, the chamber of commerce with a keen sense of smell, like a wild cat smelling fishy smell, quickly gathered together and expressed their willingness to arrange a caravan to accompany the Marquis of Lianzhou.

When Ouyang Shuo got the news, he shook his head amusingly.

Sure enough, businessmen are born with an adventurous spirit. They are too aware of how amazing wealth is contained in an undeveloped island, high-quality wood, precious medicinal materials, various furs and spices, etc. Countless treasures are waiting for them to dig.

Inexhaustible, inexhaustible.

If there is no army guard, the Chamber of Commerce would not dare to take the risk of traveling overseas.

After the Beihai Shipyard stopped building warships, it used its free time to build a batch of large merchant ships. What was unintentional at the time is of great help now.

With a wave of his hand, Ouyang Shuo instructed Zheng Dahai to sell all the merchant ships to major chambers of commerce. Based on this alone, the shipyard earned more than 20,000 gold coins, and this was the first time that the shipyard made a profit.

With the rise of overseas trade, the shipyards of the future have a lot to offer. Ouyang Shuo instructed Zheng Dahai to divide the Beihai shipyard into two in a planned way, and be responsible for building warships and merchant ships respectively.

In addition to the Chamber of Commerce, the army has also begun to mobilize.

After receiving the military order, the members of the Imperial Guard Brigade temporarily ended their training at the special forces training base and officially returned to the team. They will rush to Beihai City first, and use these two days to familiarize themselves with the "Longshou". It was the first time to escort the prince and marquis on a long journey, Wang Feng, the brigade commander of the imperial guards, was extra careful and didn't dare to be careless in the slightest.

He was worried that some soldiers would get seasick and affect their combat effectiveness.

As for the North Sea Fleet, it is already ready.

Just as all parties were intensively preparing for the trip, Ouyang Shuo came to the Mazu Temple.

With the spread of Mazu belief, the temple of Mazu is full of incense and pilgrims. For this reason, the Department of Culture and Education specially recruited a group of devout believers and asked them to become nuns and preside over the daily affairs of the temple.

The abbot of the Mazu Temple selected by the Department of Culture and Education is a woman in her forties with a kind face and kind eyes. Seeing the prince coming in person, he immediately greeted him.

Ouyang Shuo didn't dare to neglect, under the abbot's auspices, he worshiped Mazu first, and then explained why he came: "Master, I'm here to welcome the statue of Mazu to the sea."

The statue of Mazu that Ouyang Shuo was talking about was not the righteous god in the temple, and another statue of Mazu that he ordered to be carved before had been enshrined in the Mazu Temple and enjoyed incense.

Although this statue is not as good as the righteous god, but because of the blessing of incense, it still produces a faint divine power, which is enough to spread the belief of Mazu. It will go out to sea with the fleet to spread the belief of Mazu to overseas islands. It is also one of Ouyang Shuo's secret weapons to influence the natives of Qiongzhou Island.

The master put his hands together, looked happy, and said reverently: "Your Majesty's effort to spread the belief of Mazu is really a great merit, Mazu Empress will definitely protect you and make this trip safe!"

Ouyang Shuo nodded, once the gods said it, it was really unpredictable, and he couldn't deny the teacher's words.

Next, is to welcome the statue.

Greeting the statue is not a trivial matter, it needs a whole set of procedures, otherwise it is blasphemy to the gods.

Under the auspices of the teacher, the statue of Mazu was respectfully invited out of the Mazu Temple, and was escorted all the way to Longshouhao by the nuns in the temple. There is a special temple built on Longshou, where the statue of Mazu will be enshrined temporarily.

Not only that, the Mazu Temple will also send four nuns to go to sea with the fleet, and they will be responsible for the operation of the Mazu Temple built in Yazhou in the future.

Of course Ouyang Shuo would not have imagined how much trouble his actions today would bring to him and the territory in the future.

The battle of beliefs between Mazu and the indigenous gods of Qiongzhou Island started slowly without Ouyang Shuo knowing it. Wars between gods are sometimes crueler than wars among mortals.

***********

On January 18th of the second year of Gaia, Ouyang Shuo rushed to Beihai City with the ladies of the Marquis Mansion.

At this time, Beihai Port is already crowded with people. Thousands of sailors, craftsmen, and coolies hired by the Chamber of Commerce came and went, transporting countless supplies from the dock to the ship.

In this trip, in addition to the Guards Brigade and the Beihai Fleet, there were more than a thousand people accompanying them alone, and the lineup was huge. Ouyang Shuo is preparing to build the territory in place at once.

There will be a second and third batch of immigrants when the new buildings in the shipyard are built.

"Longshou" is moored in Beihai Port, a huge building ship, standing out from the crowd like a chicken in the fleet.

Due to the participation of major chambers of commerce, the fleet is very large, including a giant building ship, 30 warships and 20 large merchant ships.

Comparing with Longshou, the warships and large merchant ships, which didn't look too small, are like small boats, surrounded by Longshou, which is very pitiful.

"What a big ship!" The girls were amazed when they saw the Dragon Head, and they were all very excited at the thought of going out to sea on such a big ship, and the little apprehension they felt before setting off disappeared.

Ouyang Shuo smiled slightly and took them on board. At this time, the Imperial Guard Brigade had already taken over Longshouhao.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the expedition fleet officially set sail.

Yazhou is about 2,155 nautical miles away from Beihai City, which is equivalent to 4,000 kilometers. The basic speed of the fleet is 14 knots. With the blessing of the Matsu Temple feature, the speed increases by 30%, reaching 18.2 knots.

When the wind is strong, it can reach 26 knots, that is, 26 knots.

Under normal circumstances, the fleet can sail more than 400 nautical miles a day. Therefore, if all goes well, the fleet will be able to reach Yazhou in just five days.
