Chapter 563: No Great Thing
Chapter 563: No Great Thing
Liu Boshun sneered in his heart, but the smile on his face was full, according to the etiquette of the White Lotus Sect, he respectfully completed the procedure, and this was the way to the chair. After sitting there, they were quite hypocritical smiles and politeness to each other, and everyone deliberately snubbed the biggest hero, Liu Boshun, but the incense master of Shandong Xiangtang didn't seem to care too much about this, just smiled respectfully there.
Looking at the table on the table, Liu Boshun also felt a little surprised in his heart, he has been active in various major mansions in Shandong, Shandong is in the north, at this time I am afraid that it is the richest province, Dengzhou, Laizhou relies on sea trade and commerce, Jining Yanzhou relies on canal transshipment and salt and iron trading, there are financial resources, naturally there are different repercussions in terms of enjoyment, the restaurant is full of delicacies, very precious, but those products in the sea actually appeared on the banquet in Luoyang, which is a little shocking, How much money does it cost to buy this, Liu Boshun, as a provincial hall master, is naturally a person who has eaten and seen it, looking at this banquet of the White Lotus Sect's Jing Shou sect leader, spending so extravagantly, it really makes him feel disgusted.
In addition to the seafood from the coast, other things are also from the mountains and wild things outside the Guan, none of which are local products of Luoyang, how much silver is used for this table of banquets, and the numbers are surprising.
And the ornaments on the clothes on everyone sitting at this table are really rich and noble, and they can't see any rich and noble appearance at all, and they have no nouveau riche atmosphere, but they are all of high value, and Liu Boshun himself knows that the jade pendant worn by the master of the Jing sect was sent by himself for six hundred taels of silver.
Now many White Lotus Sect members are sacrificing their lives and forgetting death in various places, running around the countryside every day, or contacting the sect members, or leading Ding Zhuang and the officers and soldiers to fight, each between life and death, these people can eat a bite of meat in a few days, and it is a great good day.
The rules of the White Lotus Sect, the silver harvested in various places must be paid all to the Holy Treasury, and then allocated by the Holy Treasury, in the past, the provinces did not have much income at all, so it did not affect anything, now that the major events have been started, I don't know how many people in various places are running hard for the White Lotus Sect, but they also want to allocate silver taels like this, Liu Boshun also mentioned it, and left a part directly from the local Xiangtang rudder, but it was rejected by all the leading figures, saying that it is the thousand-year-old rule of the Holy Sect, and it cannot be moved.
To put it bluntly, it is necessary to hold this silver in their hands first, and people at all levels have the opportunity to make money, and this Jing Sect Master alone purchased 3,000 acres of land and a large number of shops between Kaifeng and Luoyang last year.
Think about the general Wenchen I see in Huazhou every year, these people have been rich and noble for more than ten years, and the annual dividends in maritime trade and commerce can be called a huge amount of money, but everyone maintains the appearance of the beginning, even if it is King Hua, who has been called the king, I am afraid that the degree of food and clothing is not as good as the sect leader in front of him.
The name Liu Boshun is his real name, almost reminiscent, he is also one of the children of the Liu family in Weishan Lake back then, but he is also a side disciple, the personal soldiers who followed Liu 13 were actually Liu 12's guards arranged by his younger brother, after Liu 13 was defeated by officers and soldiers, he was exiled to the people, and later came to Dengzhou, and contacted the shops opened by the Jiang family army there, which is to rebuild.
However, the governor Sima Liu 12 re-gave him his identity and made him a member of Sima Cheng, and soon, he was accepted into the Xiangtang of Shandong by the White Lotus Sect, which recruited the congregation, and the White Lotus Sect was also a force of one side, and it was all fueled by the rebellion of Chen Deaf and Liu Shisan, and Huazhou also paid attention to them.
After entering the White Lotus Sect, Liu Boshun relied on the nails and relationship networks that had been ambushed in Huazhou up and down Shandong, and he could do things that many other sects could not do at all, and slowly opened up the situation.
I have to say that the old Liu family has some alternative ideas in their hearts, as the rebellion of the cotton gentry slowly stirs up, Liu Boshun controls more and more Xiangma and the private soldiers of the White Lotus Sect, and he is also the same as Liu Shisan back then, thinking that he has the capital to rely on, but he can do something big alone.
Fortunately, he still has a trace of clarity, knowing that these chaos in Shandong and Beizhili, and the victories achieved by the officers and soldiers in repeated battles, if it were not for the command of Sima Cheng and the officers from Huazhou, I am afraid that it would not be able to succeed at all, the soldiers scattered in Shandong in the Chen Deaf Rebellion and Liu Shisan's Rebellion, except for a small part of them returning to Huazhou over the years, have become the backbone or leader of various green forest cottages, large salt lords, and even the White Lotus Sect under the various arrangements of Sima Zhi and his own military camp.
These people have military experience and know how to train soldiers, and at a critical time, they rose up and made a scene, but it was not the White Lotus Sect that gathered some villagers and foolish women to besiege the yamen, and in the end they always took the lead in the joke of cutting off their heads.
And Huazhou's infiltration of Shandong Zhili is so pervasive, he often remembers that the two officials of Cangzhou Mansion and Dengzhou Mansion delivered news to him, and the infiltration can be done to such a degree, if he has different intentions, he may not be dragged back to Huazhou by the people around him like the second general (Liu Thirteen), and if he doesn't do it, he will be directly cut off by the servants around him.
Therefore, although Liu Boshun has some ideas, he thinks about it by himself, and has not yet taken action, and has always honestly followed Huazhou's instructions to do things.
After receiving the news that Luoyang Helm was going to hold a conference, Liu Boshun's heart was quite disgusted, he was sometimes out of habit, intentionally or unintentionally helping the White Lotus Sect to consider some things, this is also a kind of thinking pattern, thinking that this time is a critical juncture, and all over the country have launched, it is the time when the core person is needed to preside over the overall situation, but he is going to Luoyang to hold a conference, isn't this asking for trouble for himself?
The people who came over from the White Lotus Sect to invite each other are not ordinary sect members, they are all Dharma protectors around the sect leader with divine weapons, these people are fanatical believers, if you have any opinions on the sect leader's orders, it is very likely that you will be charged with apostasy and cut off your head directly.
I have to come politely if I am impatient, and after I come, Liu Boshun's heart is completely dead, at the moment of the event, the core figures of the sect do not go to the front line of command, but in Luoyang, which is far away from the battlefield, luxury banquets, I think of the maids and slaves I saw along the way, they are all stunning, this kind of style, when it has not yet been done, I enjoy the lust and appetite like this, and there are people who have achieved great things.
Liu Boshun smiled and listened to the conversation of those people around him, and did not express any opinions, as he expected, the topic turned to Liu Boshun after a while, an old man beside the Jing sect master, was the master of the sect, and said with a serious expression there:
"Liu Boshun Liu Hall Master has made great contributions to the prosperity of my White Lotus and the incarnation of Maitreya, but there is a small inappropriateness in what I have done."
"It's coming" Liu Boshun scolded in his heart, but he still stood up respectfully and said:
"I would like to hear the details, and please pass on the guidance of the elders to further one or two."
"At this time, the people in various places have been transformed by Maitreya, and they have responded to the big event, and the situation is very good, but Master Liu, you are only active in the countryside, and the county does not pay much attention to it, and the place where the Cangzhou Mansion is located is the foundation of my white lotus's great prosperity, how can it be held in my hands, but discarded, this is a small family!"
The master of the scripture hall was obviously quite satisfied with Liu Boshun's deferential attitude, and then when he said this, several people on the side echoed him, and said there:
"My sect members in Henan could have taken Zhending Mansion, but they were transferred to Hebei, Shandong Province by Liu Tang Master to besiege the official army and defeat thousands of soldiers, but they couldn't get a single prefecture and county, which hurt the hearts of my sect members too much."
When Bai Lian contacted the cotton gentry just now, no one above the hall master was willing to take responsibility, only Liu Boshun took the initiative to take the top, but it was also in Luoyang Helm White Lotus Sect Master Jing Shou who got the full force to mobilize force and arbitrariness, that is to say, the armed forces of the White Lotus Sect in the three northern provinces were all mobilized by Liu Boshun, this kind of arbitrary power must make the people around him greedy, and the current situation seems to be able to take credit, the officers and soldiers have been defeated repeatedly, and they have won the prefecture and county, and everyone has opened a government in it and become the emperor of the soil. This Liu Boshun's arbitrary power is a bit eye-catching.
Although he knew that someone was picking peaches, he was always a little unwilling in his heart, Liu Boshun still said there:
"Everyone, the current situation is extremely dangerous, careless, the strength of the border army has not been damaged, although the Baoding soldiers have been defeated, they have gathered three thousand ......"
"At the moment, it is really inappropriate for Hall Master Liu to work hard alone, and I feel that I need you to share your worries with Hall Master Liu, work together, and conspire for great things!"
The White Lotus Sect Master, who had been silent, opened his mouth and made a final statement, Liu Boshun subconsciously wanted to argue, but saw that the people around him all had a successful expression, and then sneered in his heart, stood up and said with an extremely obedient expression:
"Obey the Lord's Commandment."
But in my heart I secretly said:
"Something that can't be a big thing, Lao Tzu will go back to Huazhou!"
