Cao Chuan smiled and waved his hand: "They are all their own brothers, and they will conspire together in the future, and some secrets don't have to be hidden from you now." It's just a long story, so let me elaborate. ”

After taking a sip of the tea bowl and recalling the "outline" written by some people for himself, Cao Chuan began to tell the story slowly: "A few people don't know that when I came to settle in Hangzhou, I didn't want to be troublesome. ”

Speaking of this, his tone became heavy: "Unexpectedly, in the city of Hangzhou, which is known as the great city in the south of the Yangtze River, there is starvation everywhere, filthy officials are rampant, it seems to be prosperous and splendid, but in fact it is corrupt. ”

Cao Chuan paused for a moment and then said: "When I watch the qi at night, as expected, this place in Hangzhou is already full of anger, killing and secretly born, and the dragon qi of the Ming Dynasty seems to be unstable. Alas, the best places in the south of the Yangtze River are like this, and if you want to come to the rest of the prefectures and counties under the rule of the Ming Dynasty, it is probably not much better......"

“...... When Poor Dao saw this vision that day, he didn't dare to delay, so he reported the matter to the sect, you don't know, my disciples traveled out of the mountains, and they have a job of 'observing the wind'......"

“...... Now in West Kunlun, the prime minister of the Qing Palace's nether affairs is the Emperor of the Immortal Yuan. Cao Chuan said this, hugged his hands, pointed in the direction and bowed, and the two people next to him also followed in time, Zhou Tong and the three of them were fascinated, and when they saw this posture, they also hurriedly bowed to the empty chaos.

...... After a busy time, Cao Jiaoshu continued: "Coincidentally, this Wujiao Yuanjun is the one who soared in this realm three thousand years ago, and it is also the ancestor of the Han people. After hearing the news, Yuan Jun casually took a lesson, and found that there were no Taoist monarchs and ministers in the Ming Dynasty, and there were foreign races watching outside, and if he didn't clear the source in time, the dragon spirit of the Han people was probably taken away by the foreign demons, and he would not be able to return within three hundred years! ”

After a slight pause, after Zhou Tong and a few people had finished digesting it, Cao Chuan sighed and continued: "After Yuanjun noticed this, he immediately issued a decree and ordered me to plunge into the robbery, open a new dynasty, reform the world, and fight with the outer demons, so that the dragon spirit of the Han people will not fall. In addition, Yuan Jun selected a group of civil and military personnel to go down the mountain to assist me, and these two are it. ”

...... finally finished the script according to the outline, Cao Jiaoshu also grew a breath of air, picked up the tea bowl and poured two sips, and then said to Zhou Tong, who was still enjoying the aftertaste: "The cause and effect are here." ”

Zhou Tong woke up from his contemplation with a spirit: "Oh, dare to ask Mr. when the incident happened?" This is the opposite...... Isn't it a bit of a cut? ”

Cao Chuan laughed: "The Yuanjun hexagram is like a cloud: the dragon and snake rise from the land, and the benefit is in the southeast." All the great changes are coming, there are signs: at the beginning of natural disasters and man-made disasters warning, and then all kinds of smoke and dust, after which there must be some grass kings to open the way, ten or eight years to make trouble, so that it is good to win. Right now, we naturally want to follow the Yuanjun hexagram to hibernate in the southeast, well, this place already has it, if the brothers of the screen village are willing to work with Cao, they can talk about it in detail. ”

When Zhou Tong heard this, he knew that the time of the flop had come, and he wanted to fight for the future of Cao Daxian, and his backhand was the lives of hundreds of people in the screen village.

......

Zhou Tong ended up only staying in Tangzhuang for three days, and then hurried back to the mountain. There is still a lot to do after returning home: shrinking forces, propaganda and mobilization, and selling movable and real estate...... Wait, wait.

Since you want to follow Emperor Cao to fight the world, you have to go back and check your belongings, and those who defect to the lord in the commentary are not all the ones who sell their property first, and then recruit the children of the township to participate in the righteous act......

HAVING SAID THAT, IF A PERSON WITH A BIG KILLING WEAPON, NO SHORTAGE OF SILVER, AND THE FORCES ASSISTED BY VARIOUS "HEAVENLY SOLDIERS AND GENERALS" ARE NOT WORTH FIGHTING FOR THE BROTHERS, THEN THE GRADE OF THE SCREEN VILLAGE IN THE WORLD OF THIEVES IS TOO LOW, AND IT IS OBVIOUS THAT ZHOU TONG AND THEY ARE NOT SUCH PEOPLE.

Of course, the merger shares belong to the merger shares, and some of the words in the middle still have to be made clear in advance, on this point Zhou Tong has also made his own efforts, at least when he returned to the mountain, Zhou Dazhai believes that he is worthy of the old and young masters in the mountains.

During the few days they were stranded in Tangzhuang, Zhou Tong and Xia Xianze held several rounds of talks, and the talks achieved satisfactory results for both sides: the traversers happily supported Zhou Tong's idea of forming a separate accounting "Shanzhai Labor Export Company", and tacitly acquiesced in the original leadership team unchanged and the original power structure remained unshakable. To put it simply: once based on the cognition of the Ming people, the standard merger process on the rivers and lakes began to start.

Comrade Erlangshen has a famous expression for this kind of stock merger: listen to the tune and not listen to the announcement. Also known as: Guanjiangkou model.

Of course, perhaps one day in the future, when the dying Zhou Dazhai lord sits in the office of the CPPCC and sees the historical materials that read: "Zhou XX began to cooperate with the organization to a limited extent in 1627", he will be unable to help himself and regret; However, this can't be blamed on him, in this era, no one can imagine what kind of change Cao Chuan will bring.

The traversers were very satisfied with the agreement reached by the two sides, which was originally in line with the plan - a dozen people had to forcibly lead a group of "mountain wild people" with a stable organizational structure, which would only cause internal friction, and this kind of cooperation similar to employment at this stage was very good.

As for someone who missed the title of "the leader of the old rebels who crossed the regime in the early days", everyone can only hehe - if you don't have the courage to stake the last copper plate, don't complain about the little money you make after opening the leopard.

A month later, one afternoon in June 1627, outside Hangzhou, in the back garden of Tangzhuang, a dozen or so traversers were holding a small meeting in a small building with bright windows.

In the state of payment of the project payment, the Mingren craftsmen did not disappoint the owner, and after nearly two months of overtime construction, the four projects planned by Tangzhuang have been completed.

The back garden is now officially called the "company headquarters", but in private there is a group of people who laughingly call this place "the center of the mentally handicapped human forwarding" - every once in a while, there will always be a confused mentally handicapped traveler being dragged out of the sealed box......

What was once a barren back garden now has something that would not have been possible in this era: four long, angular two-story buildings that were common in later generations have been built, and two of them have been installed with large glass windows on the bluestone-clad walls. The cement floor slabs were laid by everyone themselves, and as for the other two, in view of the fact that the reinforced concrete is too precious at the moment, they can only use wooden beams and columns to make a living.
