Chapter 1502 Support
In the Lingjiu Palace, Du Lan asked these monks to teach the girls to read and know etiquette, which completely took away the job of Tianshan Tonglao.
The Song Dynasty was a place full of illiterate people, so many secret manuals were accompanied by pictures. Without pictures, no one could practice martial arts, and the probability of the magic skills being lost was very high.
Although Tianshan Tonglao was knowledgeable, she only taught martial arts to her female disciples and did not teach them to read and write. Now Du Lan helped to make up for it, but unfortunately the learning effect of these female disciples was terrible.
When a monk entered the Kingdom of Daughters, it was like writing a Journey to the West, except for a poem "Daughter's Love".
Fortunately, all the monks who came this time were old monks. Except for Xu Zhu, the ugly monk of the younger generation, the monks' concentration was still very good. But Xu Zhu was unlucky. Although he was ugly, he was young and surrounded by a group of aunts and sisters. He was under a lot of pressure. This was not a sect, it was simply a demon cave.
Tianshan Tonglao was also angry when she saw that her disciples were so frivolous. But she is ninety-six years old, and understands why these women who stay away from men are like this. Isn't this the same as she was at the beginning? Because she has not seen many men, she was delayed by Wuyazi for her whole life.
These female disciples have also not seen many men, and now they want to bite the ugly monk.
"Is this the teaching result you want?" Tong Lao has now admitted that Du Lan is the head of the Xiaoyao Sect. She wants to see how Du Lan controls this group of beautiful women.
"Do you know the story of Sun Wu training female soldiers?" Du Lan asked.
Tong Lao immediately frowned when she heard it. Of course, she knew: Sun Tzu met the King of Wu, and the King of Wu tested Sun Tzu and asked Sun Tzu to train the palace maids. During the process, the maids laughed and scolded, and did not cooperate at all. They did not take Sun Tzu's orders seriously, so Sun Tzu pulled the eldest maid out and chopped her. Then the maids knew that Sun Wu was serious and never dared to neglect it again.
"You want to kill a chicken to scare the monkey? Don't even think about it!" These women are all miserable people. Tong Lao treats them as family members and will not let Du Lan kill them.
"It's not that serious. I mean rewards and punishments should be clear. In the future, those who study well will be rewarded, and those who study poorly will be punished. Of course, I won't kill anyone, but I hope that Tong Lao will not stop me when I give rewards or punishments."
Tianshan Tong Lao thought that if rewards and punishments are clear, then so be it. What's the story of Sun Tzu training female soldiers? She is old and can't stand the shock.
With the reward and punishment system, it is indeed much better.
But these monks are uncomfortable. They agreed to give lectures, but didn't say that this is enlightenment. Instead of teaching Buddhist scriptures, they teach the Three Character Classic. Isn't this a waste of talent? The monks of Shaolin Temple understand the Dharma and cultivate Arhats, not teachers. And it seems that Du Lan doesn't want to let them go at all. He wants these people to live in Tianshan and keep teaching.
What should we do? This is obviously kidnapping.
At this time, these monks seem to be trapped in a pyramid scheme organization, and they are helpless. It's really too much bullying. They want Xu Zhu to escape and go back to Shaolin for help.
Xu Zhu certainly didn't dare, because the female demon outside was too powerful, making him restless and unable to sit in meditation properly. It simply got into his mind. He knew that he had no power to resist the female demon and could not complete the task of his master and uncle.
Just when they were trying to escape, Du Lan took out the gold on his own initiative: "As long as you complete my task, this gold will be given to Shaolin Temple to help the Buddha statues in the temple to be gilded, what do you think?"
"You have to give us a deadline, we can't stay here forever." The monk thought that they could teach for one or even two years for the gold, but they definitely couldn't teach forever.
Du Lan laughed: "How about this, I have a copy of "The Plum Blossom Hand of Tianshan Mountain" here, let Master Xu Zhu practice, when he is ready, you can bring the gold down the mountain."
...This timing method is unique. Anyway, Du Lan is always unexpected, and the monks can't beat him, so they can only hope that Du Lan will keep his word: "Xu Zhu, you practice."
Xu Zhu shook his head quickly: "I can't practice martial arts from other sects."
The old monks looked at Xu Zhu's pedantic look and thought that Du Lan must know that Xu Zhu was not talented and stupid, so he chose him. He was really treacherous: "If you are asked to practice, you practice, otherwise you will be expelled from Shaolin."
Under coercion, Xu Zhu could only practice as ordered.
When the Tianshan Tonglao saw that Du Lan had so much gold and gave it away so easily, she thought, are you the abbot of Shaolin or the head of Xiaoyao? "Why don't you keep all this gold? Why give it to those bald donkeys?"
"It's better to teach people how to fish than to give them fish. Leaving this gold will only make Tianshan worry-free for a few years. What about the future? Tong Lao, you have to have vision. We must insist on sustainable development. Use this money to hire teachers to teach students to read. This is the long-term plan. It takes ten years to plant trees and a hundred years to educate people?"
"You are so young, but you have a lot of big principles. I can't argue with you." Tong Lao was really defeated by Duran. Duran always thinks he is right about everything. It's a pity that this is still a patriarchal world. Even if Duran really teaches all female disciples to be talented women, what can change? Tianshan female disciples still can't find a way to make a living.
Of course, Duran has already considered this matter. Women have no status in this era, which is entirely because their strength is not strong. As long as women form a strong military force, then a force composed of only women can naturally dominate the world in Tianshan.
But this cannot be the same as Amazon. The Daughter Kingdom in the Central Plains is naturally a female force with Central Plains characteristics.
In the West, Amazon female warriors need men to give birth. If they give birth to boys, they will be thrown away. Girls will be raised and trained to continue to be Amazon female warriors. The Central Plains characteristicism means that men are not needed. The daughter country in "Journey to the West" has the Mother and Child River. Drinking it can give birth to girls, which is much more moral.
Duran can make something like the Mother and Child River in a few minutes. At that time, Tianshan will become a powerful force with only women, supporting women all over the world.
Regarding this matter, Duran has only discussed it with his wife Denise. Denise has no objection at all. She even wants to be a general of the daughter country. However, Denise also said that if it really becomes a daughter country, Duran will have to go, otherwise it will be irregular.
After deciding on the relevant matters, Duran issued the first order, which is to select officials through examinations.
It is very interesting that Tong Lao found that Duran was going to rebel. She lived for ninety-six years and it was the first time she participated in a rebellion. Moreover, it was a woman who rebelled, the first time since the beginning of the world.
According to the official system of the Ming Dynasty, Duran was going to designate a "cabinet system" for the daughter country. Of course, there is no emperor now, only the head of the sect.
After all these were completed, Xu Zhu had almost mastered the "Tianshan Plum Blossom Hand". Compared with the genius Duan Yu, Xu Zhu was simply a fool, but he was better in diligence.
Then the rest of the things were handed over to a wife. The production and sales of beauty products, the cultivation of Tianshan Snow Lotus, the establishment of women's military strength, and the establishment of the Tianshan leadership team all needed Di Nisha to be responsible.
Duran went down the mountain with the monks.
The old monk never dreamed that Duran would be so trustworthy, and was very surprised, but when they got the gold, they all dispelled their worries and smiled happily.
Xu Zhu also found that Duran was not without merits, at least he was very honest.
