Huang Yi shook his head and said, "No need. I don't want to look for her in the short term. I need to go into seclusion at Guiyun Manor."
"Senior Brother Lu, you seem emotionally unstable today. Let's talk about some things tomorrow."
"it is good"
"I'm already very happy to know about Master and my junior brothers and sisters. We'll talk about it tomorrow, we'll talk about it tomorrow."
Lu Chengfeng was still somewhat excited.
He quickly instructed Lu Guanying to prepare a room for him.
Huang Yi went to his room and practiced the Nine Yang Divine Skill for a while.
I had a match with Lu Chengfeng today, and I was slightly inferior in internal strength.
Even if Lu Chengfeng's legs weren't crippled, he wouldn't be a match for him.
As the fight progressed, the Nine Yang Divine Skill allowed him to generate internal energy on his own, making it impossible for Lu Chengfeng to outlast him.
After resting for one night, Lu Guanying came to invite Huang Yi the next morning.
"Uncle-Master, are you finding the place comfortable?"
"For a wanderer of the martial world, a cave or a dilapidated temple is enough to stay in; this place is already very good."
After Huang Yi washed up, Lu Guanying led him to the courtyard.
Lu Chengfeng was already sitting there
"Junior Brother"
"Senior Brother Lu"
After having some breakfast, Huang Yi said, "Senior Brother Lu, Junior Nephew, there are a few things I need to tell you."
"Alright, Guanying, go and get some tea first, and tell the people in the manor not to come near here."
"Yes, Father."
"Uncle-Master, I'll go now."
Lu Guanying went for a while and then came back.
Tea was prepared for Lu Chengfeng and Huang Yi, but not for himself; he sat to the side.
"The first thing I want to do is take Lu Guanying as my apprentice."
Lu Guanying stood up in surprise
Last night, he had already figured out what kind of place this Peach Blossom Island was.
He is one of the Five Greats of today.
Of the five great masters, four remain, with Peach Blossom Island holding one of them.
Huang Yaoshi hasn't appeared for over a decade, and the martial arts world has lost some of his legend.
"Junior brother, is this appropriate?"
"Of course it's suitable. Huang Yaoshi only forbids you from passing on the martial arts of Peach Blossom Island, but he didn't forbid me. I can take on disciples; Huang Yaoshi can't stop me."
"They can't control me at home, and they certainly can't control me outside."
"Guanying, why aren't you paying your respects to your master?"
"Nephew, no, Master, please accept my bow."
Huang Yi nodded and said, "That will do. We don't have that many rules on Peach Blossom Island."
Lu Guanying stood up
Huang Yi took a sip of tea and continued, "Senior brother, after I finish this business, I will be going into seclusion. So, I'll have to trouble you to guide my disciple."

"Thank you, junior brother."
Both of them understood
Huang Yi was merely providing a pretext, so that Lu Chengfeng teaching Lu Guanying martial arts wouldn't violate the rules of Peach Blossom Island.
After a brief silence
Huang Yicai said the second thing
"Secondly, I want to use Guiyun Manor as a base to expand outwards."
"He recruited many disciples and taught them martial arts."
Start a sect?
Lu Chengfeng was puzzled.
"Junior brother, do you intend to establish your own sect?"
"That won't do. You can take on a few apprentices without your master's permission."
Huang Yi shook his head
"My father taught my sister and me martial arts from a young age. Besides martial arts, he also taught us astronomy, geography, literature, history, and the Eight Trigrams."
"Having learned so much, I should do something about it."
"I will not teach Peach Blossom Island martial arts without my father's permission."
"But, to establish a powerful sect..."
"If the Zhao family can protect our Han dynasty in the future, we will establish a martial arts sect."
"If I cannot, then I will take my place."
Despite hearing such treasonous words, Lu Chengfeng nodded.
Only those who defy convention are like Huang Yaoshi's son
If Huang Yi were to say anything about loyalty to the Song Dynasty, he would instead suspect that Huang Yi was an imposter.
Moreover, Lu Guanying was the leader of the Taihu bandits, and behind Lu Guanying was Lu Chengfeng.
Lu Chengfeng was essentially the biggest bandit leader in Taihu Lake.
"Junior brother, what do you plan to do?"
"The money looted from Guiyun Manor cannot be directly distributed to the surrounding people."
"The surrounding people all depend on my Guiyun Manor."
Huang Yi then looked at Lu Guanying
"How is the harvest for the people in this area?"
Lu Guanying pondered for a moment and said, "We can probably get about 40% of the land's output, some only 30%, and the rest goes to the imperial court and the landlords."
Chapter 7 Feng Mofeng
After considering for a while, Huang Yi said, "From now on, one-tenth of the profits of the surrounding people will go to the imperial court as tax revenue."
"Twenty percent goes to Guiyun Manor, and the rest is theirs."
"If the government disagrees, then whoever disagrees will be replaced."
"If the county magistrate disagrees, they take his head, replace him with another, and if that magistrate also disagrees, they take his head again."
Lu Chengfeng and Lu Guanying had no objections.
They were originally thieves from Taihu Lake.
After thinking for a while, Lu Chengfeng said, "In that case, the imperial court will probably send troops to encircle and suppress us."
"Previously, when we robbed corrupt officials, the government knew that Guiyun Manor was powerful, so they didn't dare to provoke us."
Huang Yi thought it made sense.
"makes sense"
"Then let's temporarily take and buy the surrounding land, just to keep those landlords and wealthy families in line."
"The remaining 20% of tax revenue goes to the imperial court. If the county magistrate or local government disagrees, we can simply visit them and reason with them."
"Let's talk about it when we're stronger."
Go to their door to reason with them?
how to say?
The most effective way is to talk with a knife to your throat.
"Orphans in the surrounding area are welcome to be adopted; we will teach them martial arts and provide them with education."
"Young man, we'll start by teaching you basic martial arts. If you perform well, we can then teach you more advanced techniques."
"If there are any talented individuals, recommend them to be taught superior martial arts."
"Okay, I'll listen to my junior brother."
