In the Jin Dynasty, there were also some non-governmental organizations, which did not have any subordinate relationship with the government, but the former was often strictly controlled by the latter, while in the **** country of Dashi, non-governmental organizations were much freer, such as Freemasonry, which was led by the rich and participated by many people.

Freemasonry is all about bringing together the efforts of all people to help those in need.

There are three factions in the Tianlan Sect, and among them, the core doctrines are unified, but some small doctrines that continue between their respective factions are somewhat different.

For example, one of the teachings of the Elephant Orchid sect is that if you have evil in your heart, bury it in the deepest part of your heart and don't hurt others, and if you have good in your heart, please spread it out like the sun to everyone who needs its help.

Freemasonry is the symbol of the Xianglan sect, in the early days, most of the wealthy class who belonged to this faction, most of them would take out a considerable amount of money, set up Freemasonry in their hometowns, send honest people to manage, help those in need, in recent years, some of the middle and lower classes of the Xianglan sect, also began to follow this doctrine, when they were rich, take out some money, donate to the local Freemasonry, spread their goodwill.

So now in the Dashi Empire, the Xianglan faction is the most believers, but also the most united faction, unfortunately, the power is often in the hands of a few people, the last few generations of popes, once on the throne, the first faction to hit is the Xianglan faction, which is also the key to the Dashi Empire has always been not calm.

With the return of the seven states in the west of Longyou to the Jin Dynasty, for Freemasonry, some states and counties choose a more gentle way to deal with it, and in some places, regardless of 3721, by force of force, directly banned, all property belonging to Freemasonry is also confiscated, Wu Heng took office as the assassin of Wuzhou, that is, he chose to dissolve and ban the Freemasons in Wuzhou by force, which is also one of the reasons why the aliens are very hostile to the Han people, but the situation in Wu'an County is a little different, the county order Zhu Lin, although he is a sleek official, But he still had a conscience and the most basic principle of the bottom line, and he chose a more moderate way, by persuasion, to dissolve the local Freemasonry, and did not confiscate the wealth of the Freemasonry, but handed it over to several local church leaders who were quite prestigious among the congregation, and let them continue to exist in a more hidden way.

After Li Xun took office as the governor of Wuzhou, he knew about the Freemasonry, and felt that the existence of this organization had advantages and disadvantages, because it was very capable of buying people's hearts, and once there were people with other intentions to stir up trouble in it, it was easy to cause a large-scale civil unrest, which was its hidden danger, and the benefits were also very obvious. At the same time, it can also reduce the economic pressure of the government, and the relationship between Li Xun and Wu Heng is very stiff, Li Xun asked Wu Heng for food and money several times, Wu Heng explicitly refused, just did not give, and because of the war, Wu'an County is close to the Mulang River, which is convenient for escape, so it is six counties in Wuzhou, the most populous county at present, as many as more than 200,000, many people have become homeless, there is no food, although it is a foreign race, but Li Xun can't watch them starve to death, right?

Li Xun finally felt that the existence of Freemasonry at this stage was still very necessary, and then found Zhou Qing and said his thoughts, although Zhou Qing was very stubborn and had a very bad sense of Li Xun, but for Li Xun's opinion, Zhou Qing felt that it was feasible, and immediately nodded and agreed, but also made some precautions, and sent several officials into the Freemasonry to monitor, but did not interfere in the specific management of things.

Because with the consent of the government, the Freemasons in Wu'an County can operate publicly, and Zhou Qing is even more generous to send out a very large house near the yamen of the county government as the headquarters of the Freemasonry.

Before the Jin Dynasty army reached Wuzhou, although the vast majority of the officials and nobles of the Dashi Empire chose to flee, some of the rich people who did not have the official status of the nobles still chose to stay, after all, whether Wuzhou belonged to the Jin Dynasty or Dashi, these people have lived here for decades, were born and grew up here, this is their hometown, how can they be willing to leave easily.

The revival of Freemasonry immediately had a great effect, many wealthy people in Dashi have generously donated food and property to help those displaced people who lack food and clothing, and the public security of the entire Wuzhou has been greatly improved in a very short period of time, and there is a way to live, and the mood of the people is slowly decreasing.

In order to maintain order and stability in the city, Zhou Qing did not allow the displaced people to enter the city, so the congregants in the association generally took food and went outside the city for distribution.

In the room, You Min was wearing a very plain and monotonous clothes, and was sitting there, immersed in writing, keeping accounts for today's food distribution and dispatch.

Occasionally, someone enters the room to get something, all of them are quiet, and they don't want to make a noise and disturb You Min who is working, but these people will secretly look at You Min a few times, and there is some inexplicable look in their eyes.

You Min had been working here for almost a month, and her arrival, her looks, temperament, and gentle personality quickly conquered everyone in Freemasonry, whether Han or Dashi.

You Min, who was immersed in writing, felt that someone had come in, but he didn't look up, and continued his work, until after a while, You Min felt that the person who came in didn't seem to have gone out, so he looked up, and this glance made You Min's face suddenly have a look of consternation.

"Seventh brother?"

The person who came was none other than You Chong.

You Min asked in surprise, "Seventh brother, why are you here?" ”

You Chong smiled lightly: "I have already arrived in Wu'an City half a year ago, and I am responsible for the security and city defense in the city. ”

You Min was silent, put down the brush in his hand, and said silently: "It turns out that you already knew that I was here, why did it take so long to come to me?" ”

You Chong sighed and said, "Sister Min, I sent someone to see you here secretly, and the people under me said that you were very happy, and I didn't come to you, I just hope that your happiness can last longer." ”
