Although I accepted Ruihai's invitation, my current working methods and models have not changed much.
There was not even any special treatment. Ruihai still assigned work as usual, and even had higher requirements for the work than usual. This was only true for Zhang Mingtu.
Zhang Mingtu was not surprised that he chose to fight alongside Ruihai, but was instead criticized more harshly. Ruihai was such a person.
If you want to stand with Rui Hai, you must have as few flaws as possible and hold yourself to extremely high standards, otherwise you will most likely die.
Fortunately, Zhang Mingtu did not pursue personal enjoyment too much. He mainly used reasonable and legal means. Zhang Mingtu had more than 100,000 acres of land under his name.
Even though Zhang Mingtu basically didn't ask for much rent, these lands could allow him to live a fairly wealthy life instead of living like an ascetic monk.
Accomplishing great things does not mean dressing simply and living like an ascetic every day.
As long as things can be done well and the majority of people and all those we want to save can live a better life, in fact, not many people will care about how Ruihai and Zhang Mingtu are doing.
Even if you live a luxurious life, as long as you have earned it through your own hard work, have not committed any crime, and have a clear conscience, then it is fine.
At least that's what Zhang Mingtu thought. None of his current properties were acquired through trickery or robbery. Most of the tens of thousands of acres of land were acquired by inheriting unclaimed estates from various parts of Jianyi.
The Zhang family also earned a lot of silver by improving the wine-making method, and lived a very rich life.
Zhang Mingtu's daily elixirs and meals were better than many others. Ruihai knew about it, but never interfered.
Ruihai is quite open-minded in this regard. He does not want the people to have to eat coarse food and have no food to eat after the previous one, but he wants them to live like that too.
If you make such a request, you won’t be able to find even one companion.
Why shouldn't you use what you've earned through hard work? Why not?
The days were peaceful and fulfilling, so peaceful that Zhang Mingtu felt it was unreal.
But whenever the tension in his heart was about to relax, he would take a look at the demon rune from the Land of the Rising Sun in the county government office, which had become dim and had lost its corresponding function.
The daily work was stressful and busy, but Zhang Mingtu took the time to improve his true energy to the true essence realm, and he also carried a long sword on his waist.
With the help of the future master-level brother and the sorting out of the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Original Vow Sutra and the Tai Shang San Sheng Jie Yuan Miu Sutra, a kind of strange balance was achieved. The physical body does not need to be one level higher than the one's own Qi realm to practice.
Without any worries, Zhang Mingtu quickly reached the level of true essence.
In terms of cultivation, Zhang Mingtu believes that he does not have a high talent for cultivation. He practices diligently every day, absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon, and at the same time constantly practicing self-defense swordsmanship.
He felt that his true Qi was extremely powerful and his physical body was invincible at the same level, but he lacked the corresponding means of attack.
When Zhang Mingtu was in Longxing No. 5 Academy, he specially chose a sword technique suitable for fighting on the battlefield - the Bloody Fighting Sword Technique.
That is a sword technique commonly used by senior generals in the army. The sword technique is open and close, and it can also cooperate with Zhou Shen's soldiers. It is an advanced version of the Ten Sword Techniques of Bloody Battle practiced by soldiers.
After more than ten years at the border, Zhang Mingtu mastered this sword technique to the highest level.
After coming back, I continued to practice every day.
It is to better control one's own conditions and better exert the power of swordsmanship.
As for the many more complex skills such as archery, horse riding, and swordsmanship that he had learned during those long years, Zhang Mingtu only practiced them briefly to get a general control over his body, and then did not continue.
This does not mean that all these martial arts have been abandoned. If there is a corresponding environment in the future, Zhang Mingtu will be able to master them in a very short time. It is more like a kind of talent.
As long as he puts his mind to learning, no matter it is swordsmanship, archery, horse riding or anything else, as long as his future brothers have been exposed to it and have mastered it well, he will be able to reach the level of his future body very quickly by learning.
He may not be able to reach the pinnacle, but achieving 70% to 80% is already outstanding enough and can be considered a gifted talent. After all, that is a memory that his future brothers would take more than ten years to hone, but he achieved it in a short period of time. No matter how you look at it, he can be considered a gifted talent.
"Alas, for an ordinary person like me to rise to prominence, the only way is through hard work. Even my future brothers have acquired their talents through hard work."
Zhang Mingtu shook his head and sighed.
In front of him was a piece of wood that was evenly divided into dozens of pieces by his sword, and he only held a wooden sword in his hand.
Without using his true energy and powerful physical strength, this was the limit of what he could do.
Even though he had achieved such a level, he still felt inferior to Qi Guangji, who was invincible at the northern border and led him to charge against the northern barbarian leaders many times.
The combined efforts of several lifetimes could not match the talent of that great military general.
He believed that in terms of swordsmanship, finding opportunities for battle, and deploying troops, he was still only about 70% as skilled as the general.
His swordsmanship was about 70% to 80% of that general's, but his deployment of troops was only about 50% to 60%.
"There are always many people whose talents and abilities make people despair, and it is difficult to catch up with them through hard work."
Zhang Mingtu sighed softly.
Today's situation related to the county government has come a long way, and many things are in the process of arranging the follow-up finishing work, which does not require him to be responsible for.
He rarely had a little free time, so he practiced martial arts at home.
