Chapter 60: Martial Academy Rules

Qingyangzi was not surprised by Pei Xuanjing's special attention to the Sutra Library.

Instead, he nodded, as if that was what all young people did, "Of course, but each person can only read three books per month. If you want to read more martial arts, you have to exchange them with merits."

Pei Xuanjing humbly asked, "May I ask how to get these merits, Dean?"

Qingyangzi said, "In addition to the salary issued by the court, each of you editors will also receive corresponding merit points from the Martial Academy every month. In addition, if your proposals for participating in the compilation of the 'Martial Classics' are adopted or evaluated as useful, you will also receive corresponding merit points."

He glanced at Pei Xuanjing.

"Of course, if you are willing to submit some martial arts that are not included in the Sutra Library, you will also receive corresponding merit points according to different levels."

This can also be regarded as an open conspiracy, so that some people voluntarily contribute martial arts.

Pei Xuanjing's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but ask, "Regardless of the level, then lower-level martial arts are also OK?"

Qingyangzi nodded, "Yes."

"I understand." Pei Xuanjing nodded.

He has made a decision. If possible, he doesn't mind exchanging the skills collected from the Liu family and the Shen's Chamber of Commerce.

Anyway, for Pei Xuanjing, although there are many skills, most of them he has not really practiced, but simply refined and accumulated Daoyun points.

I originally thought that these things were no longer of much use, but now it is a way to recycle waste.

Qingyangzi didn't know Pei Xuanjing's thoughts. If he knew, he would probably say that it's not painful for the son to sell his father's land.

Only a lonely person like Pei Xuanjing would do this. Even the Zhenwu School where Qingyangzi came from would not play like this.

You know, even if it is the lowest-grade martial arts, a force will choose to keep it as its foundation even if no one practices it, because no one knows whether there will be descendants who will learn from it or create a more powerful martial arts based on the lower-grade martial arts in the future.

This is what happened to Tie Qianshan more than 20 years ago. He innovated the middle-grade martial arts of the Iron Palm School and evolved it into a high-grade martial arts, and then opened up the Iron Palm School that dominated the area.

In fact, Pei Xuanjing himself is not like this. The "Four Spirits Sutra" he is practicing now is also derived from several lower-grade martial arts.

Qingyangzi took Pei Xuanjing around, and then took him to meet several editors who arrived not long ago. After introducing each other, he called a clerk and asked him to take Pei Xuanjing to choose his residence, and then left.

The martial arts academy was just established, and the dean did not care about things. As the vice dean, Qingyangzi naturally had a lot of things to do.

It was already because this young man could speak that he had a good impression of him.

Under the guidance of the clerk, Pei Xuanjing chose a slightly secluded residence in the martial arts academy, and then moved some of his luggage from the inn to live in the martial arts academy.

It must be said that the designer of this martial arts academy knows these martial arts practitioners very well. Each person's residence is an independent courtyard, and there is a specially built training room in the room.

"Pei Bianxiu, according to the rules, we will send you four servants tomorrow. I wonder if you have any requirements." The clerk asked.

Of course, the servants mentioned by the clerk are not ordinary servants.

This is the martial arts academy. Everyone living in these courtyards is a martial arts master. It is not ordinary people who are qualified to be servants for them. In fact, these opportunities to be servants are scrambled for.

After all, as a servant of these masters, there is a chance to get the guidance of the masters. For some people who have no chance to worship famous teachers, it is undoubtedly an opportunity to stand out.

Pei Xuanjing thought for a moment, "I don't need so many here, you can just send one person."

He didn't like such a noisy environment, one person was enough.

The clerk felt sorry, but he didn't dare to say much, and nodded.

Pei Xuanjing didn't know what the clerk was thinking, but even if he knew, he wouldn't care.

At his current level, everything was done according to his own will, even if he treated the imperial power, he only respected it, but he wouldn't be overly afraid.

Just like how he treated the dean Qingyangzi, it was more of a respect for the martial arts predecessors, not because of the other party's power.

After the clerk left, he picked up a book in front of him and began to study it carefully.

This book was not a manual of martial arts, but about some rules and regulations in the martial arts academy.

Since he decided to stay here, he naturally had to know the rules here. After all, with his current strength, he was not enough to ignore these rules.

After a long time, Pei Xuanjing put down the book and had some understanding of the situation of the entire martial arts academy.

In fact, the duties of this martial arts academy are somewhat similar to some of the work of the Hanlin Academy in the court.

The main work of these editors is to study martial arts and then teach the students in the martial arts academy.

The origins of these students include descendants of royal families, descendants of nobles, second-generation civil officials and generals who are interested in martial arts, and some disciples sent by aristocratic families in the rivers and lakes to study.

In short, it is actually similar to a martial arts research and exchange academy.

Of course, there are not many students in the martial arts academy now, and their teaching tasks are not heavy. More focus is still on studying martial arts and participating in the compilation of the "Martial Arts Classics".

According to the dean, that is, the emperor's request, this "Martial Arts Classic" will be divided into three volumes: upper, middle, and lower, corresponding to the three realms of external training, internal training, and rebirth.

Moreover, the upper volume, which is about external training, should be easy to understand and suitable for more people, so that more inferior warriors can break through and become qualified warriors.

According to the emperor's idea, it is not certain whether the middle and lower volumes will be widely circulated in the world in the future, but the upper volume of external training must be widely circulated in the world so that the people of the entire Ming Dynasty can get it.

Therefore, there is another requirement for the upper volume, that is, the warriors who practice the upper volume of external training can switch to other skills without any trouble even if they cannot obtain the next two volumes in the future.

Such a requirement is easy to say, but it is not easy to do it.

"It seems that this majesty has a broad plan!" Pei Xuanjing thought.

You can imagine that if the upper volume is successfully compiled, let alone the middle and lower volumes, the strength of the entire Ming Empire will increase by a large amount, and it is not an exaggeration to multiply it several times.

Such achievements may be even better than the compilation of the Yongle Encyclopedia by Emperor Taizong.

Thanks to book friends Crazy Ore and Liangxia for the rewards.
