The destiny of all heavens begins in the Red Chamber

Faced with the condescending offer from the Duke of Liguo's mansion, Liu Xianglian refused without hesitation.

But in the blink of an eye, he realized that this was a pretty good opportunity to turn his life around!

Then, he took the initiative to join the Ningrong Street branch, believing that Jia Huan would give him enough opportunities to prove himself.

I originally thought that with my martial arts skills, I could at least get a title of special retainer or chief instructor in Ningrong Street.

As a result, when they arrived at the hall, they were disappointed to find that there were quite a few top-notch masters here!

The most outrageous thing is that he was easily defeated by Jia Cong during a friendly sparring session!

Before he could even react, he was humiliated by Jia Huan again; they were simply not on the same level.

Now, Liu Xianglian was completely obedient and dared not show off his martial arts skills.

Fortunately, Jia Huan was broad-minded enough not to care about Liu Xianglian's previous behavior.

Based on his abilities and personality, a rather targeted arrangement was made.

As for the results, it's too early to tell, but Liu Xianglian is quite confident about the future.

Jia Huan had told him that once the recruitment at the branch was on track, he, a top-tier martial arts expert, would definitely be given an important position and would be transferred to work overseas.

Once he reached the open sea, his opportunity would arrive.

He refused to believe that he was inferior to the ordinary underlings in the gang.

Outsiders might suspect that the gang members' success overseas is just a publicity stunt. But as members of the Ningrong Street gang, we know these are all true.

That's why the top-tier experts who were originally in charge of the hall went to fight overseas long ago, leaving only Liu Xianglian, the 'newcomer,' to take charge of the recruitment.

In fact, Liu Xianglian's mind had already wandered elsewhere.

Every move Jia Huan and his subordinates made did not escape the attention of Prince Zhongshun.

The news that the Ningrong Street gang was recruiting heroes from all walks of life naturally reached their ears immediately.

Prince Zhongshun couldn't figure out Jia Huan's true intentions, so he consulted with his chief secretary, but they couldn't reach a conclusion. They just felt confused.

Are江湖豪汉 (Jianghu heroes) so easy to manage?

These guys are all incredibly arrogant and unruly. They're already causing trouble in the Great Qian Dynasty. If they were sent to the outer sea territories, what would happen? Wouldn't they cause chaos?

A knight-errant uses his martial arts to break the law!

These are not just empty words; they are lessons learned in blood.

Despite not understanding it, Prince Zhongshun still intended to imitate it.

Of course, the scale of imitation should not be large, so as to avoid being unable to stop the losses in time if problems arise.

For no other reason than that he trusted Jia Huan's intelligence.

Later, after learning how Jia Huan used these recruited heroes, they suddenly realized the truth and immediately followed suit, launching a large-scale recruitment drive for heroes as well.

Jia Huan's method of utilizing the heroes of the Jianghu was simple: he would send them out to wreak havoc on the Japanese territory near Ezo Island, and incidentally use their strength to forcibly open trade routes.

As for the territory on Ezo Island, it became a transit point for supplies!

By leveraging business with Japan, the development and construction of the territory can be accelerated, and in a rather proactive way, without the need to send out a large number of supervisors to urge progress.

When there's something to gain, there's no need to urge anyone; everyone will do it willingly.

What Jia Huan wanted to do was to turn his own territory into a complete rear base and a distribution center for supplies.

With gold and silver continuously flowing in from Japan, it was impossible for development to be slow.

And within the territory, naturally, were all Jia Huan's trusted confidants.

They cleared land for farming, built towns, and a series of ancillary facilities.

Some of these facilities were specifically designed for the heroes of the past.

Everyone knows that making money off these guys is incredibly easy and simple; you can't possibly keep any money for yourself.

It can be said that as the number of heroes sent there increased, Jia Huan's territory in Emishi developed faster, forming a very rudimentary positive cycle!

When Prince Chungshun learned of this information, his eyes turned red.

What else is there to say? Just imitate and follow suit, there's nothing shameful about it!

Prince Chungshun was the standard-bearer of the imperial clan at that time, and whatever he did would naturally be imitated and learned by other members of the imperial clan.

In short, suddenly all the heroes of the martial arts world within the Great Qian Dynasty became highly sought after!

Or rather, those with courage and martial arts skills have found a pretty good platform for development!

It's just putting your head on the line and dancing on the edge of a knife. Those heroes of the martial arts world don't care about the dangers. What they are more happy about is the opportunity to show off their martial arts skills.

As for harming the Japanese people, as long as it's not done in a way that is truly outrageous, not many people really care.

During the Ming Dynasty, Japanese pirates ravaged the southeastern coast for 150 years, affecting hundreds of thousands of people. What they are doing now is nothing compared to what they have done so far.

In addition, the abundance of gold and silver in Japan has gradually become an undisputed consensus!

Even a small landowner in Japan could easily become a wealthy family in the Great Qian Dynasty by causing trouble for them.

The martial arts factions in the capital, who had initially felt humiliated by having their members poached, were astonished to find that the number of ordinary people wanting to join their ranks had suddenly increased.

Not only were the martial arts gangs overcrowded, but martial arts schools and security escort agencies were also packed with people!

How is this going?

It should be noted that the living conditions of the lower-level gang members are quite poor, and can even be described as terrible.

The situation is similar for martial arts school students; unless they are direct disciples, they all have to pay money.

But ordinary families, even if they have to grit their teeth and spend money, will send their children of school age to martial arts schools or gangs to receive martial arts training.

When the various factions finally understood what had happened, they were left speechless, unsure of what to say.

It turns out that martial arts practitioners have good career prospects overseas!

It's true that martial arts training is expensive, but if you only want to get started and have a certain level of combat ability, then it's not difficult to achieve quick results. Ordinary people can grit their teeth and persevere.

Providing martial arts training for one's own children is far more reliable than providing them with education for the imperial examinations.

Especially country boys, they have no shortage of strength!

Under these circumstances, the number of underlings under the Ningrong Street gang is expanding at an alarming rate.

Once you join a sect, you won't have to spend any extra money. The sect will also proactively teach you basic martial arts and provide appropriate basic training.

The martial arts taught here are all basic military skills, some of which are even from the "Military Training Manual" written by Qi Jiguang, a famous general of the Ming Dynasty.

Not only did the martial arts schools on Ningrong Street expand rapidly, but more than a dozen new martial arts schools opened in the capital in a short period of time. Anyone who didn't know better would think that a golden age of martial arts had arrived.

This trend quickly spread from the capital to the surrounding areas, such as Tongzhou and Tianjin.

The newly opened martial arts school is also quite popular!

As for the gangs, they naturally recruited even more followers, and were all quite busy for a while.

Of course, because the owners behind the overseas expansion recruited a large number of martial arts heroes, this situation did not lead to an increase in disputes and infighting among martial arts forces.

The spies of the Embroidered Uniform Guard naturally noticed this immediately.

Then, the current emperor also found out.

At first, I was a little nervous, not knowing what was going on. Although I didn't take the unruly forces of the martial arts world too seriously these days, I didn't dare to underestimate them.

If not properly controlled, the chaos caused by gangs in the underworld can be quite devastating to local order.

As mentioned earlier, the martial arts level in the Dream of the Red Chamber world is equivalent to that in The Sword Stained with Royal Blood and The Flying Fox of Snowy Mountain, and they still possess some formidable skills.

If those martial arts masters really wanted to disregard everything and assassinate government officials, it would be quite easy for them.

Just think about it, in "The Deer and the Cauldron," a high-ranking official was assassinated without warning. He was a first-rank official!

After figuring out the specific reason, I breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help feeling a bit amused and exasperated.

This blunder is really causing a lot of trouble.

However, this is also a good thing. A large number of heroes from the martial arts world have gone to fight in the outer seas, and the order within the Great Qian territory is much better. This is a good thing that everyone is eager to see.

As for using recruited heroes from the martial arts world to wreak havoc on Japan, I'm actually quite tempted to do so now.

It's just a pity he can't do that; he simply can't bear the shame!

Fortunately, emperors have abundant resources, including ample human resources.

Since it's difficult to draw a large number of skilled individuals from the Six Doors, why not continuously draw those capable guys from the army?

As long as things are done discreetly, it will be difficult for outsiders to detect any problems.

It just feels a bit strange, and I'm also quite surprised by Japan's 'wealth'.

I really don't understand, where does Japan get so much gold and silver?

Could the rumors be true, that Japan has large gold and silver mines, with the amount of gold and silver mined each year exceeding ten million taels?

When I first heard this news, I just thought it was utterly absurd.

The Central Plains are a vast and resource-rich land, and have never seen such abundant gold and silver deposits before. How could a mere Japanese country possibly possess them?
