Since he decided to accept the challenge of nine martial arts schools, Yu Chunqiu simply made the momentum bigger so as to completely create the name of Jingwu Sect.

Later, when Yu Chunqiu asked the people in Shanghai to talk about martial arts, the first thing they thought of was Jingwumen.

Enter the newspaper and continue to enter the newspaper.

At worst, spend more money and buy more newspaper pages.

How can I do publicity without subsidizing some advertising fees?

In less than two days, the entire Shanghai County, including the foreigners in the Concession, learned that Jingwumen was going to compete with the nine martial arts halls.

Morning.

Yu Chunqiu ate a large bowl of beef noodles and two eggs, filled his stomach, and came to the county government office.

Lord Gu is not there.

Yu Chunqiu asked Mr. Gu’s maid: “Where has Mr. Gu gone?”

The maid said, "The adults took Sister Yun'er and Brother Xiangzi to fish."

Yu Chunqiu used silver dollars to feed Lord Gu.

Lord Gu is now completely delegating power, allowing Yu Chunqiu to do it. Lord Gu starts to enjoy it when he has the ocean. Not only did he buy a few maids, but he also bought a servant.

Xiangzi is one of Lord Gu’s servants.

Yu Chunqiu said to himself: "Old man Gu's life is getting more and more comfortable. He doesn't look like a magistrate, but I am tired every day, and more like a county magistrate. But isn't this exactly what I hope?"

I asked Master Gu clearly where he went.

Yu Chunqiu turned around and left the yamen.

...

By the Huangpu River.

Yu Chunqiu met a strong boy.

It's Xiangzi.

Xiangzi is about the same age as Chen Zhen, but he is actually 1.86 meters tall, which is even taller than Yu Chunqiu.

No wonder Xiangzi's parents wanted to sell him. There was no way, I really couldn't support him.

Lord Gu sat on the stool, holding the fishing rod, and staring at the water intently.

Yu Chunqiu walked over.

Xiangzi also saw Yu Chunqiu and hurriedly bowed: "I have met Master Yu."

Lord Gu looked up at Yu Chunqiu and said with a smile: "Why are you here? All the things in the yamen are done? Today is sunny and suitable for fishing. Yu Chunqiu, come and accompany me to fish."

Yu Chunqiu sat on the stone beside him and said, "There are county magistrates, county magistrates, magistrates, head captains, and those minor officials in the yamen. I am a junior, I am afraid I can't control the affairs of the yamen. Master, you have the leisure to go to the river to fish."

Lord Gu said, "What can I do even if I stay in the yamen? The county magistrate and the lord will not listen to me."

Yu Chunqiu said: "The headmaster, the county magistrate and the lord are in-laws, and we cannot provoke differentiation. However, the county magistrate is different from the captain. Although the captain is a local, there is no power in the family. The county magistrate is not from Shanghai, but from Gansu. I think we can win over the county magistrate and the captain."

Lord Gu said with a calm expression: "The county lieutenant is indeed from Gansu, but he married a local woman from Shanghai and has lived in Shanghai for more than 20 years. What is the difference between him and the locals in Shanghai? The headmaster is the one who is the master of the throne. Don't you know? Why do the county lieutenant and the headmaster turn to us?"

The county magistrate said that he was in charge of military power, but his real power was not as good as a captain.

The garrison in Shanghai is under the jurisdiction of the prefect's office and the general's office.

The chief officer of the General's Mansion is a bannerman. The county magistrate is not qualified to be involved in military power.

What's more, there is no army in Shanghai County.

The captain is better than the county lieutenant. At least the captain is in charge of more than twenty yamen runners. What is the purpose of winning over a county lieutenant without real power?

Lord Gu disdained Yu Chunqiu's proposal.

Yu Chunqiu said: "The headmaster, even if the county magistrate does not have a single soldier, he is still a county magistrate. He is worthy of our win over. The headmaster? I will deal with him. I don't believe that the headmaster is really loyal to Lord Bo."

Lord Gu asked, "What are you going to do?"

Yu Chunqiu said confidently: "Of course it's money and oceans. My pharmaceutical factory is already on the right track. I decided to give some dry shares to the county lieutenant and the captain."

Spend money.

Give the benefits to the county lieutenant and the captain, and the percentage of the whiteness can win them over.

But is that necessary?

What does Yu Chunqiu plan?

Lord Gu widened his eyes and asked, "Yu Chunqiu, are you so much money that you have nowhere to spend? If you have more money, give me more. In a few years, I will go home to retire."

Yu Chunqiu said: "I was born to be useful, and I will come back after all my money is spent. The boss, controlling the county government is more cost-effective than making more money. The county magistrate and the captain are not our mortal enemies, so turn them into our friends."

Lord Gu emphasizes cultivating his mind and nature, being kind to others, and deeply understands the essence of being an official. In the officialdom, he tries not to offend others.

Once it is related to money, it is a different matter.

Yu Chunqiu wanted to share the positions of the county lieutenant and the captain, but Lord Gu was unwilling to do so.

The pharmaceutical factory belongs to Yu Chunqiu.

However, in Lord Gu's subconscious, the pharmaceutical factory belongs to him and is only managed by Yu Chunqiu.

It is actually not surprising that Lord Gu has this idea at all.

In the late Qing Dynasty, the master-servant thought was very serious, and it can be said that it was deeply rooted.

Yu Chunqiu is a master, not a slave in Baoyi, but Lord Gu subconsciously regards Yu Chunqiu as a slave.

The wealth of the slave, including life, belongs to the master.

Well, it’s okay for Lord Gu to think this way.

Yu Chunqiu doesn’t know that Lord Gu is thinking like this, otherwise Yu Chunqiu would plot against Lord Gu.

Slave? Do I, Yu Chunqiu, look like a slave? It's really outrageous.

Yu Chunqiu said: "There is one more thing to do with the boss."

Lord Gu asked, "What else is there?"

Yu Chunqiu said: "On the eighth day of the lunar month, Jingwumen will compete with the heads of the nine martial arts halls in Shanghai, which can be regarded as a grand event in the martial arts world. The boss, you are the parents of Shanghai County, and I hope you can attend."

Lord Gu said, "Who else do you want to invite?"

Yu Chunqiu said: "County lieutenant, head captain, Mr. Zhang, Mr. Feng, Mr. Cai and others."

Lord Gu said in surprise: "You collect commercial taxes and offend people. The owners of several major commercial banks want to die, so you still invite them?"

Yu Chunqiu smiled and said, "They are all well-known figures in Shanghai, so of course I have to invite them. The time has come for me to get a grudge between me and several major business banks. I will settle the grudges with them."

Lord Gu nodded and said, "Okay. On the eighth day of the lunar month, I will accompany you to see the so-called 'great event' in the martial arts world."

Yu Chunqiu said goodbye and left, took a few steps, turned around and said, "Master, you said before coming to Shanghai that you would give me 10 taels of silver a month. After almost four months in Shanghai, you didn't give me a penny. Should you pay me your previous monthly salary?"

The expression on Gu Lord's face froze, then grabbed a stone and threw it at Yu Chunqiu, and said loudly: "Get out."

...

Just returned to the yamen.

Yu Chunqiu saw Chen Zhen standing at the gate of the county government waiting for him.

Yu Chunqiu asked, "So what's wrong?"

Chen Zhen said: "Sir, there is a fake foreign devil who came to Jingwumen to discuss with the master about holding a martial arts conference on behalf of the foreigners in the concession. The master cannot make the decision, so let me invite you to Jingwumen."

Yu Chunqiu and Chen Zhen came to Jingwu Sect.

A man in a suit, tie, hat, and a civilized stick in his hand spoke to Huo Yuanjia arrogantly.

The man in suit spoke Chinese, but from time to time, a few English words popped up, which made Huo Yuanjia, who had never learned foreign language, feel a little at a loss.

When Huo Yuanjia saw Yu Chunqiu coming, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "Sir."

Yu Chunqiu waved his hand and said to the man in the suit: "You are the foreigners in the concession who come to Jingwumen. What kind of martial arts conference are you going to hold?"

The man in the suit nodded and said, "yes. However, it is not a martial arts conference, but a fighting conference in the All Nations."

Yu Chunqiu frowned and said coldly: "Speak well. I warn you, if you pop up a foreign word from your mouth, I will throw you out. I admire foreign countries and fawn on foreign countries, and do not feel ashamed, but rather proud and embarrassing things."

The man in suit felt angry and wanted to refute that foreign language is the most beautiful language in the world. The local bun in front of him looked down on foreign language. Forget it, he is a civilized person and has no knowledge with those who have never seen the world. After all, he represents the concession and foreigners, and cannot lose his identity and demeanor.

Yu Chunqiu said: "The competition between Jingwumen and Jiujiawujiajiajiajiao is a matter in the martial arts world in Shanghai. It has nothing to do with foreigners. There is nothing to talk about."

The man in the suit said, "The nine martial arts halls, plus the Jingwumen, are equivalent to the entire Shanghai martial arts world. In your competition, the foreigners in the concession are very interested. The United States, Britain, Spain, Belgium, Austro-Hungarian Empire, and Japan will send people to participate at that time. The strongmen and boxing warriors from all countries are first-class masters, so you are not afraid."

Yu Chunqiu could guess what the foreigners had.

Holding the World Fighting Conference has both advantages and disadvantages for Jingwu Sect.

Win, Chinese martial arts became famous overseas.

If you lose, it will be a huge and heavy blow to the Chinese martial arts world.

Yu Chunqiu was silent for a moment and said with a smile: "Okay, Jingwumen agreed to hold the World Fighting Conference. But I have a condition."

The man in the suit said, "What are the conditions?"

Yu Chunqiu said: "Go back and tell your foreign master that the venue of the Fighting Conference of the Worlds is built by the concession. The Fighting Conference is only a sports event and does not involve Zhengzhi. If we kill people on the ring, we hope that all countries will not hold them accountable through administrative means."

...

After the man in the suit left.

Yu Chunqiu said: "The Fighting Conference of the Worlds is different from the previous arena competitions. This time, the people who can go to the Fighting Arena in Shanghai represent not only individuals and martial arts schools, but also Chinese people."

"Master Huo, I know you are tired of fighting. However, I hope you can show the ruthlessness you had when you were in Tianjin. You'd better use the heart technique of Wing Chun to maximize the lethality of the boxing technique. Only in this way can you have hope of winning."

Huo Yuanjia is a martial artist. Of course, he has learned about Wing Chun and his heart skills.

For example, the mind method of Tai Chi is to combine hardness and softness, to be central and stable, and to be natural. The mind method of Wing Chun is to use the word "吉" as the key.

Although Wing Chun is a boxing technique created by women, the fighting style is very ruthless. As the saying goes, the most toxic woman's heart is not unreasonable.

Huo Yuanjia nodded and said, "Mr. Yu, I will not hide my weaknesses when I get on the fighting arena."

Yu Chunqiu said: "You must have hatred in your heart to be ruthless and powerful. Only when boxing is vicious and domineering. But this hatred is not personal hatred, but national hatred."

Huo Yuanjia's mentality became cheerful immediately. Yes, he went to the fighting arena to fight with foreigners to win glory for the country, not a personal grudge!
