Chapter 1551 Ten Years Later

Blind, deaf, and dumb, among the three disabled people, the blind and dumb can both become masters, because they can’t see but can hear the sound to determine the position, which is more comprehensive and can better support the person’s martial arts.

The same is true for the dumb, who can’t speak but have more time to practice martial arts and strive for excellence.

Only the deaf can’t become a master, because they can’t hear, so they are easily stabbed by the enemy and die.

So it’s normal to see a blind man hiding a weapon and a dumb man flying. Only a deaf master is rare in the past, and if one appears, it will definitely be a panda-level rare thing.

This shows that for a warrior, ears are more important than eyes.

Of course, although the blind can hear the sound to determine the position and throw a hidden weapon, it’s different from firing a musket, the sound is too loud. You can only fire one shot, and you can’t hear the second shot.

However, the four people on the Ice and Fire Island didn’t realize this. Yin Susu may have realized it but deliberately concealed it.

Zhang Wuji grew up day by day, a little savage, running around in animal skins.

Seeing that her son was almost ten years old, Yin Susu was very anxious. How could her son find a wife on the island? How could she hold her grandson? Whenever she thought of this, she couldn't sleep at night, so she really wanted to leave the island.

So she discussed with Zhang Cuishan that they should build a raft and take a chance.

Zhang Cuishan actually missed his master and fellow apprentices in Wudang Mountain very much. According to the date, his master's birthday was almost 100 years old. If he couldn't attend the birthday party, it would be too unfilial.

So the couple finally decided to make a raft and go to sea.

The Golden Lion King also agreed. He didn't want his adopted son to waste his life, and thinking that he could use a musket to take revenge, he couldn't wait to go back to the mainland.

So everyone worked together to make a raft and sail out to sea when the water level rose.

This was very risky, but they hadn't seen a ship in all these years, and it was impossible to wait for people to come to rescue, so they could only give it a try.

The four prepared food and fresh water for a few days. If they couldn't find the way, they would be finished.

Zhang Wuji didn't know how dangerous this operation was. He just felt that it was exciting to leave the island. He was still young and didn't understand the difficulties of survival. The probability of meeting people on this vast ocean was extremely low.

However, they were people with the aura of the protagonist, and Duran would bless them.

So on the sea, they were salvaged by a passing ship.

This was a merchant ship going to Fuso to dump silk.

Zhang Cuishan couldn't help but think of the cruel "silkworms eating people" enclosure movement in Jiangsu and Zhejiang ten years ago. I wonder what it is like now? He didn't even know if the world was still the Yuan Dynasty.

The kind boatman told them that it was still the Yuan Dynasty, but the Yuan Dynasty and Taiwan had fought on the Korean Peninsula, and the fight was very lively. Now many Korean refugees have come out to become pirates, so they changed a new route.

In other words, if there were no war and no pirates, this merchant ship might not necessarily meet Zhang Cuishan's family.

As for the "silkworms eating people" in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, it has ended. It was very miserable. Many farmers have no land and can only work in the manufacturing bureau.

Now the manufacturing bureau has added more than 3,000 machines, which are in non-stop production for 12 hours, and the silk produced is dumped to Southeast Asia and the Western Regions.

The local silk in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is now worthless, and only by selling it far away can it make money. The price of silk in other provinces within the Yuan Dynasty is also very sluggish, and many handicraft workshops have closed down, because customers would rather take the train to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to buy cheap silk than buy expensive local silk.

The current phenomenon is that silk is almost the same price as linen.

Speaking of these merchants, it is also sighing. Who would have thought that ordinary people could wear silk ten years ago?

Now the silk market is almost saturated, so silk has begun to appear in different gears. The rich still use the most expensive silk with complex embroidery, and the poor also wear silk but it is basically plain.

However, these merchants doing export business are still okay, but the risk is high.

Zhang Cuishan expressed his understanding: "If there is a strong wind and waves, it is indeed a big risk." The ship capsized, and the goods were also destroyed. This is fatal to the merchants, and they lost all their money.

"That's true. So for safety and to reduce risks, I bought Wudang Mountain's ship insurance and cargo insurance. So now even if I encounter storms, I can get compensation as long as I am not dead. Even if I die, my family can get compensation." The businessman was very happy when he said this because his risk was shared.

"Wudang Mountain what?" Zhang Cuishan said what the hell.

"Wudang Mountain insurance, oh, I forgot that your family has been wandering overseas. In the past ten years, a series of martial arts sects represented by Wudang Mountain have devoted themselves to the field of security. In addition to insurance, there are also security guards and escorts. You also know that people have more opportunities to go on the road now, and there are more robbers. For safety, it is still necessary to ask a few martial arts masters to protect. In the words of Master Zhang: We martial artists need to eat, and you ordinary people need safety. We can completely get what we need and achieve a win-win situation."

...

It sounds like the words of the master. The master likes to talk about big principles.

Yin Susu thought that Master Zhang was already a hundred years old, but his heart was young, and he even started a new business: "Boss Tong, please tell us about Wudang Mountain in detail." She thought that her husband must miss home very much, so she asked the boatman to tell us more about Wudang's recent situation, which was very considerate.

"Ten years ago..."

In fact, Duran is cleaning up the mess of extinction. The idea of ​​extinction is good, but the implementation does not bring much benefit to the righteous martial arts. The risk of going to war with the Mingjiao is greater than the benefit. Therefore, although the six major sects were very active at the beginning, they slacked off after one or two years.

There is no way to extinction.

Without industrialization, the righteous sects can strengthen their momentum by attacking the Mingjiao. Reputation is the best signboard of the sect, which is directly proportional to income. The higher the reputation of the sect, the more disciples it recruits and the more income it earns.

But now it is different. No one practices martial arts. No matter how high the reputation is, others will not even look at it.

Besides, the Mingjiao was originally rooted in the people. The Mingjiao helped the people when they were in the most difficult time. Therefore, after everyone has endured the most difficult enclosure movement, the people who have stabilized will not forget the Mingjiao.

Now, the reputation of the Mingjiao is higher than that of the six major sects.

The plan of Master Miejue has completely failed, and Denise can only let her husband take action.

Duran made a grand blueprint: Wulin Financial Co., Ltd. Take advantage of the fact that martial artists are good at running and create wealth through sports.

First, Duran let everyone know that even with a musket, a martial artist is still powerful. He opened a nationwide tour of the "Musket Self-Defense Training Class" to tell the world what a martial artist would do when encountering a musket robbery.

Of course, the defensive actions are very complicated, and ordinary people generally cannot do it at all. This highlights the importance of martial artists and makes ordinary people realize that even if they have a gun, a martial artist is still a martial artist, and is not comparable to ordinary people.

Then various escort agencies were born, and the first thing was to ensure the safety of business. The industrial revolution was accompanied by the prosperity of business, which is very important, because the goods produced by industry are fast and numerous, and if business cannot keep up, the industrial revolution cannot be completed.

In fact, many businessmen have realized this, so the escort industry of the big sects is extremely popular, because the big sects represent credibility.

And because the major sects are in different regions, Duran proposed that even merchants don’t need to go on the road in person, and the major sects can completely carry out express delivery business.

Of course, Wudang Mountain is more high-end, they sell insurance.

Some people say that since they are all escorted by bodyguards, why do they need insurance if they are already safe?

This is wrong. Bodyguards also need insurance. If they encounter powerful robbers, and the bodyguards are injured or even die, do they not need money?

Duran did not even let go of his own people's money.

Too many things have happened in ten years, and Zhang Cuishan and his men have not kept up with the times.
