Chapter 124 First Disciple
Xin Zhen did not say what industry it was, but he already had an idea in his mind. As a time traveler, he naturally would not simply focus on the traditional industry such as the escort agency.

In the future, he will develop soap, glass and other highly profitable products, but since such wealth is so huge, he will need a strong enough military force to maintain it.

The Sword Sect now has high-end combat power, but more powerful forces are not enough.

Industries such as soap and glass need to be set up in provinces across the country. With so few people in the Sword Sect now, there are not enough people to go to each province. How can we protect these industries?

Don’t say anything like if someone invades, you will just go and kill the whole family. That’s simply not realistic.

For example, in a county, there will be dozens of copycats. If they are wiped out one by one, what is the difference between the Huashan Sword Sect and the Demon Cult?
But if the family is not destroyed, how can we stop others from coveting wealth?

Only when there are enough disciples in the sect, with people stationed in various places and mobile forces available for support at any time, can we curb the greed of others.

But these are relatively distant things. The most important thing now is people.

Xin Zhen said, "I will assign tasks now. Master, you should worry about creating the exercises first. If you need our assistance, just let us know."

Feng Qingyang nodded and said, "Okay."

Xin Zhen continued, "The Fuwei Escort Agency must be opened quickly. This is the most important thing at the moment. Because if we want to recruit disciples from all over the country, we have to go through the Fuwei Escort Agency, so we have to help Junior Brother Lin open the escort agency.

Junior Brother Lin, from now on, we have to make Fuwei Escort Agency our top priority. Whether we need money or people, or go somewhere to greet people or fight, the sect will fully support us!"

Lin Pingzhi smiled and said, "My father has to take charge of this matter. I don't even know much about the operation of the escort agency."

Xin Zhen smiled and nodded, and asked Qu Feiyan to invite Lin Zhennan and his wife over.

Lin Zhennan and his wife were very happy when they heard this.

Lin Zhennan said happily: "This is a great thing, OK, I agree."

Xin Zhen nodded and said, "Uncle, why don't you think about it? You know, this reopened escort agency has nothing to do with the Lin family."

Lin Zhennan laughed and said, "How can it be unrelated? Is Pingzhi my son the junior brother of the headmaster? Is Jianzong my son Pingzhi's master? If they are both, how can it be said that it has nothing to do with my Lin family?"

Madam Lin also laughed and said, "The headmaster is just too polite. The Lin family has received great favors from the Sword Master, and originally had nothing to repay. Now that we are of some use, how can we dare to have any extravagant expectations?

Besides, my wife is so bored on the top of the mountain every day. She has been reading Taoist scriptures these days, which shows how bored she is.

Working for the escort agency is what my wife cares about most, and now that we have this opportunity, there is no reason to let it go."

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "That's great. There is one thing that needs to be made clear. Although the Fuwei Escort Agency belongs to the Sword Sect, the business of the escort agency run by my uncle and aunt can account for 10% of the escort agency's annual profit..."

Lin Zhennan wanted to refuse, but Xin Zhen waved his hand and said, "Those who have made contributions must be rewarded, and those who have made mistakes must be punished. This is a necessary rule for the survival of the sect. Don't refuse, otherwise who will be willing to contribute to the sect in the future?"

Seeing Xin Zhen say this, Lin Zhennan happily accepted it and said, "Okay, I will write a letter immediately and ask the escort leaders from all over the country to come to Huayin to discuss the matter of reopening the escort agency."

Xin Zhen nodded and said, "Can all those escort leaders still come?" Lin Zhennan smiled and said, "After such a long time since the incident at Fuwei Escort Agency, there must be some people who have to make a living on their own, and of course some are still at home, but at least half of them should be able to come. As long as there are half of them, the escort agency can be opened, and then we can recruit more people.

"The escorts and porters all live on the edge of a knife, and there will be casualties from time to time, so they will recruit new ones from time to time, which is a common thing."

Xin Zhen nodded and said, "Okay, that's the best. But I should have a group of people who can join us. They are all quite skilled."

Lin Zhennan nodded immediately and said, "Okay, I'll set up the stall when the time comes, and when Sect Leader Xin's people arrive, I'll take over the stall."

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "Uncle Lin, don't worry. You will be the one to lead and run the Fuwei Escort Agency. There is no one more suitable for this matter than you. The people I'm looking for are heroes in the martial arts world. Although they are highly skilled in martial arts, they are unruly and don't know much about the operation of the escort agency. You have to give them some advice and control."

Lin Zhennan looked a little embarrassed and said, "If their martial arts are too strong, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to subdue them."

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "Don't worry about these. I'm here. Uncle only needs to set out the rules of the escort agency and repeat them again and again. If they still dare to break the rules, the Sword Sect will handle the matter. Since it is the Sword Sect's property, there is no reason for them to stay out of it."

Lin Zhennan was relieved and said with a smile: "Then there will be no problem. I will hurry up and ask the escort leaders from all over to come and discuss important matters."

Xin Zhen nodded and said, "Okay, then we'll split up. Master, you take care of the technique.

Brother Buping, please try to recruit some craftsmen to build houses and training grounds on the mountain in preparation for the next batch of disciples to enroll.

Pingzhi, follow your uncle and you can help at any time if needed."

Cong Buqi said: "Master, my injury has healed, please assign me some work."

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "During this time, you and Master should study Huashan Sword Technique, including Yangwu Sword Technique and Xiyi Sword Technique, carefully. You will be the most important elders of our Sword Sect in the future, so you must learn everything you can."

Cong Buqi and Cheng Buyu nodded. Xin Zhen looked at Qu Feiyan and said, "Qu Feiyan, my master and fellow apprentices are here today. I will ask you again in front of them, are you still willing to take me as your master?"

Qu Feiyan immediately knelt respectfully, touching the ground with her forehead, and said loudly: "Master, it is a blessing that Feiyan has cultivated for a lifetime that you can accept me as your disciple."

Xin Zhen said solemnly: "If you join my sect, you must make the interests of the Sword Sect your lifelong ambition, not kill each other, and follow the Sword Sect's principles as your code of conduct. You must separate yourself from the Sun Moon Sect and not consider yourself a Sun Moon Sect member. Are you willing?"

Qu Feiyan bowed again: "Feiyan is willing."

Xin Zhen looked at Feng Qingyang and said, "Master, do you have anything to add?"

Feng Qingyang shook his head and said, "I have known Feiyan for a long time. She is a good kid. I don't have anything to add."

Xin Zhen nodded and said, "Okay, Qu Feiyan, you will be my disciple from now on. You are my first disciple, the first disciple of the third generation of the Sword Sect, and the eldest sister of the Huashan Sword Sect. You must practice hard and cultivate well, and set a good example for future junior brothers and sisters."

Qu Feiyan cried with joy and knelt down, saying, "Feiyan obeys your command."
