At the secret ceremony, Ma Weisan offered 10,000 taels of silver, which was originally going to be dedicated to the general altar and Ma Weisan, and Zhang Yingchen accepted it unceremoniously. It takes a lot of money to open up the situation in the Lunan area, and it also takes silver to accommodate refugees. Besides, in the past two months, I have to "soothe" myself when I am frightened.

Then, he obtained the most important part, the huā list of the various incense halls of the Southern Wuliang Sect in the Yizhou region and the various related ledgers. This wealth was more exciting than 10,000 taels of silver. There are more than 40 incense halls in the whole Yizhou branch altar, and the number of believers who worship incense rituals is more than 30,000 people. Although the vast majority of them are middle- and lower-class people, there are 4,800 taels of incense offered to the main altar every year, and there are not a few religious properties that they want to operate.

Needless to say, most of this teaching property must have become Ma Weisan's "sī property", but Zhang Yingchen is not prepared to entangle with Ma Weisan on this issue. Since you want to kill him, these things will be all your own in the future. Now is the time to stabilize the situation, and it is most important to calm his heart first.

So he was quite polite to Ma Weisan, in addition to praising him for "abandoning the dark and turning to the light" and the like, he also hinted that the good situation here in Yizhou has a credit to him Ma Weisan, and he will still reuse him in the future. Ma Weisan is an old man, of course, he will be suspicious when he hears it, but at the moment he is already afraid of the Taoist to death, not to mention whether he is reused or not, as long as he doesn't want his net worth.

He betrayed the Church Mén, and the Church Mén is likely to come to him to settle scores. What to take on heavy responsibilities and so on, not to mention, how to save your life is the most important, so Ma Weisan repeatedly asked the Taoist chief to "move the law" to Majiazhai.

Zhang Yingchen rejected Ma Weisan's request to move the "Fa Driver" to Majiazhai. Ma Jiazhai is of course good, but he has already made up his mind that he will use Dadianzhuang as the general base of the new Taoist activities in Yizhou, not to mention that he will draw a clear line with Ma Weisan in the future, and it is inappropriate to get too close to the future "traitor".

However, he also comforted Ma Weisan's fear, saying that he would not let him suffer. Even if others are not in Majiazhai, they can still take care of his safety. Of course, it would be difficult for him to leave Majiazhai and run around.

Zhang Yingchen didn't want Ma Weisan to continue to exert his influence, and it was most appropriate to use fear to trap him in Majiazhai. In order to reassure him, Zhang Yingchen was still after the banquet, and after the banquet, he drew a few charms and gave them to Ma Weisan, asking him to stick them at home The reason why he wanted to sī was because Zhang Yingchen himself didn't want to continue to engage in this set of charms and the like, and he was just using it temporarily.

In order to break the mystery of the sect, he also took the incense masters to discover that the mechanism had the frightened messenger in his hands, and everything was no longer a secret. Soon they unearthed the "spell" that Xuande, Rossey Chūn and others had personally arranged.

The five triggers are brick-shaped, and because Yan Sè is slightly newer, it can be recognized with a little attention. Each brick has a set of ignition traps. This set of ignition mechanism is very jīng, and it is not used in the traditional "stuffy incense" and other time-delayed fire, but the flint of the pedal steel wheel is fired. Under the bricks is a pedal and a thin wooden strip for support. When triggering, you can only get angry by pressing it with a lot of force, so as to avoid accidentally stepping on the trigger when you are usually walking.

Zhang Yingchen was taken aback at first glance, this was actually enough for a flintlock pistol. It seems that many practical jishu are not absent in China, but they have not been able to be promoted.

The ignition mechanism leads to a fuse placed in a bamboo tube, and each fuse controls a mechanism, a total of five sets. Each set has a lot of ingenuity. Although in principle, the entire set of spell mechanisms is nothing more than a combination of a mine and a ritual bullet, but doing this step at the extremely rudimentary Jishu level can already make Zhang Yingchen admire.

One of them was installed under Zhang Yingchen's table of the Eight Immortals. This made Zhang Yingchen very cold sweat, if the other party was not too obsessed with the effect of the spell, I am afraid that he would have been blown up directly.

This ready-made puncture of the Western landscape had a great impact on the psychology of the believers who were still hesitating, especially the defeat and capture of the envoy of the main altar and the saint of the Inner Law Hall, who they regarded as half-immortal bodies, which made them full of new admiration for this "Zhang Zhenren". A cadre of people and five bodies to the ground

With the defection of Ma Weisan and others, all the shili of the sect in Yizhou suddenly collapsed. Except for a small part of the more than 40 incense halls that collapsed on their own, all the others were taken over by Zhang Yingchen. Zhang Yingchen then reformed the organizational structure according to his ideas, changed the incense master to the group leader, and reduced the size of the larger incense halls, and established 138 study groups to replace the original 45 incense halls. Each group has a head and deputy group leader to replace the original incense master and incense master.

The original classics were abolished, and all the pamphlets were used and converted from the Hangzhou Printing House, which were compiled by Zhang Yingchen himself, namely "The Tao Hides into Mén", "Tibetan Questions and Answers", and "Collection of Essential Scriptures".

These are three easy-to-understand pamphlets of the new Taoism that the Taoist chief personally wrote for the creation of Christianity. The basic knowledge needs of ordinary believers and missionaries are covered.

The leaders and deputy leaders of all the study groups gathered in batches to participate in the three-day crash course at Yunshengguan.

The general management of the new Taoism in Yizhou was set up in Yunshengguan, and financial personnel were set up to manage the income and expenditure of funds and the management of teaching property, and in order to show loyalty, more than 300 acres of land were produced.

As a new Taoist spirit, Zhang Yingchen abolished the heavy burden of the quota of incense ceremonies in each incense hall, although this move would cause him a lot of financial losses, but he knew that the Senate was very sensitive to any "organized" religion, so he decided not to accept this money. Moreover, the current economic situation of the Yizhou believers is also very poor, and they urgently need to recuperate.

The flood in Lunan will not enter until 1632, and before that, Zhang Yingchen will go all out to manage and turn Yizhou into his own stable territory.

However, the export of population can be done now.

He scooped up the silver donated by Ma Weisan, and got a lot of support from the banker Historically, the Dadian Zhuang Zhuang was very active in a series of natural disasters such as the Lunan flood, and presided over many disaster relief efforts in the entire Yizhou area. They are just as generous on this plane. At Zhang Yingchen's suggestion, the dealer came forward and contacted a group of local gentlemen to set up a "Tzu Chi Hall", in which the principal was naturally the banker's master. Zhang Daochang, who is famous for his medical skills, is also very enthusiastic and has become the main deacon of Shantang.

Zhang Yingchen didn't care who the leadership of Tzu Chi Tang was in his hands, he mainly used the name of Tzu Chi Tang to do things, and it would be better if he could get some financial support from Tzu Chi Tang.

Lu Wenyuan on the island has already sent him the news that there is already a certain foundation for the construction of the island, and if the population is to be transferred, the current capacity of the island is 1,000 people in the short term and 300 people in the long term.

"The fort of Qimu Island and the Taiwan base are currently in urgent need of labor, if there is a suitable labor force, please send it to Qimu Island as soon as possible." What Lu Wenyuan needs now is labor, because of the landing in Taiwan, the first batch of 1,000 displaced people recruited from Huangxian, Denglai and other places who had originally gathered on Qimu Island have already set off for the south and transported to Taiwan.

It is not difficult to recruit labor in the eastern three prefectures, and the place is very poor, regardless of the good year and famine, the common people are always half hungry and half full, and there are many people who flee the famine. However, as the Jeju Island strategy is about to begin, the Jim Island base will also have to transfer people to Jeju Island, and the large number of people transported in Dongsanfu is very noticeable. After all, this is still Sun Yuanhua's territory, and the two sides need to be considerate of each other.

"Hmph, population, I'm born and died in this place in the sun, isn't it just for labor?" Zhang Yingchen muttered. He has already started to take in refugees. He now has a full set of organizational structures and sufficient manpower, and he no longer needs to do it himself.

The first buildings have already been erected on the island. Lu Wenyuan has now become an out-and-out "island owner". After Zhao Yingong returned to Zhejiang, he quickly recruited more than 100 local destitute households in the name of recruiting long-term workers and tenants. They were placed on the island as basic laborers to build farms. There was originally a fishing village with more than a dozen fishermen on the island, and Lu Wenyuan also incorporated them by the way and counted them as his long-term labor.

Although the fishermen's small fishing boats are not big enough to look at compared with the fishing boats seen in the South China Sea and the coast of Zhejiang, the marine fishing boats in the Denglaiqing area are too small, at best, they have a displacement of more than ten or twenty tons, and they are basically activities in the waters near Longkou Bay. However, with more than a dozen boats, it is also a coastal maneuver.

Lu Wenyuan also made up a hundred Xiangyong according to the standard of one ding per household, and in this place where security basically depends on himself, there is no fully armed Xiangyong who really sleeps and is not stable.

After Sun Yuanhua heard the people in the church mention this, in order to show his concern and hope, he specially sent some knives and guns. Of course, it is inconvenient for him to openly allocate firearms and fire yào and other things. However, the person who came said that as long as Lu Wenyuan wanted it, he could get a bird gun, a three-eyed gun, and a small cannon for a few dollars. Fire yào projectiles are also readily available.

Lu Wenyuan thought of Zhao Yinggong's instructions to have a good relationship with the local officialdom, so he bought a few dozen taels of silver, bought some three-eyed bird guns and two small cannons, and some fire projectiles. Let Huang Ande be the coach and train the team to Cào.

According to Jihua, Lu Wenyuan originally planned to dig a 2-meter-deep trench on the sand bank of Qimu Island to bring in seawater and cut off the land connection with the mainland. However, considering that the Bohai Bay is likely to freeze in winter, and that it will be convenient for the enemy to come from the bay at that time, it is a bit unnecessary to dig a trench alone.
