Chapter 271: Rising Together

Taiping Dao went to Jiangnan this time, and they had already made full preparations, but unlike now, they were thinking about fighting a protracted war, first establishing Taoist temples in several important state capitals in Jiangnan, relying on 100,000 disaster victims to help them preach, and then eliminating paganism step by step.

However, who would have thought that there would be a Xiaoyao Palace in the middle, and a few Kun Dao were kidnapped, and the scholars who were close to the Xiaoyao Palace promised to give some blood to help Taiping Dao establish more Taoist temples in order to appease the anger of Taiping Dao.

This made Taiping Dao see the dawn of quickly taking Jiangnan, so he established Taoist temples in all Jiangnan prefectures and counties in one go, and if there were not enough Taoist priests, they selected from the victims and let them manage the victims.

This also delayed the opportunity for the victims to return to their hometowns, or to serve as tenants for the scholars.

But in the end, they still persevered, seeing that the autumn planting was imminent, the scholars came to beg one after another, and at this time the victims were sold as slaves, how could Taiping Dao not make a lot of money?

Because of these relationships, Zhengxuzi and the others are very busy, and they have to entertain the scholars every day, so naturally they can't notice that the undercurrent under the calm lake is surging!

Looking at the gentry who left one by one, Zhengxuzi smiled!

Qiankong looked at Zhengxuzi puzzled, and said, "Master, why don't you still refuse to agree to them?" We can't afford to feed those people anymore! ”

"Hmph, it's no benefit at all, why should I give it to them?" Zhengxuzi sneered, looked at Qiankong and said: "You know, we are in a hurry, they are more anxious than us, now that the chips have been delayed, and there are people in the court who intercept the twists and turns of the chips, what are we worried about?" ”

Zhengxuzi's mood was better than ever, but he didn't know it. Some of the gentry who had left him with a disgraced face laughed instead!

They are anxious though. But they don't want to cheapen others for nothing!

We hire tenants, and it's not that we don't give money. Even if you come to rent the land, there is no sky-high asking price, we all have to pay, why should you let this Taoist priest eat a bite in the middle?

Jiangnan is very chaotic, there are many sects, and these sects are indispensable to have a relationship with the Shi clan, and after knowing what these sects have plans now, the Shi clan acquiesced! Because it's only good for them. It doesn't hurt!

What is the basis for Taiping Dao to recover its vitality in the suppression of Taizu? is not the queen mother, and it is not the strong support of the Yin family.

But Jiangnan is Taizu's hometown, and as soon as the Huang family is in power, they will enjoy happiness for a day, but now it is different, the Yin family is powerful, not only controlling the north, but also meddling in Jiangnan. Although it is only Taiping Dao that has entered Jiangnan now, who knows what will happen next after people's hearts are bewitched by them?

Keep saying that they are loyal to the imperial court. But who is in charge of the imperial court now?

If they hadn't been able to recognize this, they'd already be wiped out!

Therefore, the nobles are ready to watch the show. But for this drama to be staged, it also needs their participation. At least on the surface, let Taiping Dao know that our Shi clan needs you very much!

Water can carry a boat, and it can also capsize a boat. Taiping Dao relies on the support of the victims, but if the victims are not supportive, do you still have the face to stay in Jiangnan? Unless you are really willing to send a Taoist priest over to drink the northwest!

Although some of the victims are still supporting the Taiping Dao, especially the victims who were selected as Taoist priests by them, because they have the power to control some of the victims, they don't want to lose, so they continue to prevent the victims from spreading rumors, but what use can this be? Can you manage the heavens and the earth, and can you manage other people's farts in the bed?

Seeing that it will be the best day for autumn planting in a few days, the victims can't sit still!

And at this moment, the reason why many victims of the disaster finally came to peace suddenly collapsed!

First of all, Suzhou, overnight, there were three granaries on Taiping Road inexplicably on fire, the fire was very large, and the original Jinling foundry had to fight, and it was impossible to extinguish!

And this is just the beginning, on the second day, more than a dozen granaries were on fire, and it has happened not only in Suzhou, but also in Ningzhou and Huzhou.

Next, in just three days, there were more than 30 warehouses on fire, burning down 60% of the grain storage in Taiping Road.

Taiping Dao is stupid!

They didn't expect this gang of gangsters to start so quickly, there was a fire over there, and before the news came, this side followed!

Zhengxuzi was angry, and went to the guard camp in person to ask why the commander was not strict in guarding?

But the people said with a bitter face: "Zhengxu Dao Chief, it's not that we don't take care of it strictly, but that there is something wrong with your people, and the few warehouses we are stationed in are all burned by your people, you don't believe it, look at this thing!" ”

As he spoke, the commander casually threw out a token, and Zhengxuzi hurriedly picked it up and looked at it, he couldn't help but be stupid!

This is indeed their token, even if it is a copy, it should be new, but these are all old, this can also be imitated?

"Impossible, the people we sent to fetch food are all Taoist priests of this sect, and they definitely didn't do such a thing that hurt heaven and reason! Someone must have stolen this token and pretended to be my Taiping Taoist! ”

"Oh, this is indeed possible, but don't worry, I have already notified the government and am ready to jointly investigate this matter, and I hope you wait, as long as we find any clues, I will report it immediately!"

Nonsense, nonsense!

Zhengxuzi can see that these guys are obviously procrastinating!

But what could he do? Let the national teacher beg the queen mother to give an order and remove these local commanders? But who is better to recall? Now the granary is burned not in one place, but in dozens of places! If you want to be dismissed, you have to remove more than a dozen government commanders, let alone the queen mother, even if Taizu is resurrected, he will not dare to issue an edict easily!

"It's so ruthless!" Zhengxuzi looked up to the sky and roared, as if he wanted to vent all the anger in his heart, but it was useless!

The fire of grain and grass in Taiping Dao is still happening, and it seems that it is impossible to stop it at all, even if Taiping Dao began to realize that the situation was not good, and specially sent people to guard it, it still burned!

Especially in a warehouse near Jinling, there were already 300 guards and more than 20 Taoist priests to take care of it, but suddenly, this granary actually exploded!

Some people say that it is caused by dry weather, and it is rumored that similar things have happened in some wheat workshops, but some people say that they were split by lightning, but no one can find out why!

But everyone understands that Taiping Road has no food, what should the victims do?

Transferring grain from the north? But the long journey does not reduce the urgent need at all.

Buy locally, crazy, how high the price of grain is now, fools know that it is unrealistic, other businessmen are not stupid, look at you so much grain is burned, if you still don't know how to raise the price of grain, what do people earn?

Especially in Ningzhou, under the collective operation of the Ningzhou Chamber of Commerce, in three days, the price of grain has directly increased fivefold, I see how you can buy it?

This will undoubtedly cause the people to complain and recreate, but it is very strange that this kind of thing did not happen in Ningzhou, not because the people have high wages, but because there is a local tyrant who has Yanjiao, and he actually gives food every day, although it is not much, but as long as you go, you can receive a small bag, which is enough for one person to eat for two days.

Therefore, the people of Ningzhou not only have to go, but also let a large family go together!

At the same time, not only Yanjiao, but even the White Lotus Sect and Wuhuo Hall appeared openly, and they also learned Yanjiao and began to give food, among them, Shanhe Society was the most exaggerated, not only giving away, but also delivering to the door, but they all wandered in the countryside and earned unimaginable prestige in the countryside!

All this seems to indicate that someone is going to die in Taipingdao! So what about the victims who follow the Taiping Road? Follow low and starve? Or do you turn around and go to another sect? (To be continued.) )
