Chapter 55: The Demon Cult Leader Who Loves to Engage in Popular Science
Xu Hongru grabbed Steward Meng's neck and slipped him up with a strained arm.
The fat Steward Meng was waiting for his stubby legs in mid-air, looking at Xu Hongru's eyes that had become playful in fear.
He is now like a fat chicken in Xu Hongru's hands, and the attendants may be slaughtered, and then cleaned up and turned into roast chickens, roast chickens, and flower chickens.
But Xu Hongru was obviously not interested in his meat with excessive fat content, and with a strain of his wrist, he threw him into the chair he was sitting in just now.
"I'm still saying that. Now it's time to talk about our sphere of influence in terms of what we do. Xu Hongru slowly sat back in his chair and said to Steward Meng for a long time, "My idea is this, we don't interfere with each other's operations, develop freely, and see who has the most ability and can occupy more territory." What do you think? β
The frightened Steward Meng's mind was already confused. He originally thought that he would take advantage of the opportunity to subdue himself and prescribe very harsh conditions, such as continuing to develop its business scope in the direction of Zou County.
However, Xu Hongru's idea of free expansion surprised him, so he fell back into a state of blank brain, which was not enough for his brain.
Xu Hongru saw that he didn't react for most of the day, and couldn't help but say angrily: "Your old Meng family has accumulated thousands of years of heritage in this area, so you won't be afraid of me, a newly rising rich man." Free development is very beneficial to you. If you go back and tell your lord, he will promise you, and he will not punish you for losing face here. You see, I'm thinking about you a lot. β
The more Xu Hongru used this kind of playful tone, the more Mongolian A-Niang kept shaking like a sifting chaff.
It wasn't until the door was gently pushed open that the game between Old Cat Xu and Fat Mouse came to an end for the time being.
It was the Ranger who came in.
He took a cup of tea, walked to Xu Hongru's side with a smile and said, "Outside, the new tea you bought has been successfully delivered." The small one specially made a cup for you and brought it to you to taste. β
New tea? He Xu Hongru has no habit of drinking tea, this thing is bitter and astringent, in his worldview, only vassal and elegant hypocrites will use this thing to put on a faΓ§ade.
He never used it.
So his first reaction was that the ranger who came in had something to say to himself, but because there were outsiders next to him, it was difficult to speak directly.
But since he knew that there were outsiders, he had to come over to report it, explaining that this matter might be very important to him, and it was directly related to whether the next plan could be implemented smoothly.
So after he glanced at the ranger, he entered into a brief thought.
This ranger's name is Zhang Dongbai, and he was sent out to find out the news from Qingzhou. What news can Qingzhou have worth inquiring about, it is naturally Wang Sen's old immortal, whether he was arrested by Jinyiwei.
Since the last time Yin Chuanzhang told himself that Jin Yiwei had formulated a plan to arrest Wang Sen, he began to prepare to rescue the old immortal. There is no other reason, if this guy is arrested, then the White Lotus Sect will fall into disintegration, and then the government will be able to easily break it down.
This is something he does not want to see.
Therefore, he asked Kang Ning to rescue Wang Sen, on the one hand, because he and Wang Sen had not dealt with each other for many years, and it was not worth wasting his descendants on rescuing the old immortal. On the other hand, it is naturally because this Kang Ning wants to join his Smelling Fragrance Sect, so he can't help but test his ability.
The results of the graduate school entrance examination should be out now.
Zhang Dongbai just said that the tea he bought had been successfully delivered, which should mean that Wang Sen's old immortal should have escaped smoothly. In this way, the White Lotus Sect would not fall into division.
And Corning's person seems to be really capable.
"I see." After Xu Hongru understood the implicit meaning of this sentence, he said lightly to Zhang Dongbai, "The tea will be placed here first." You can go and rest first. β
Zhang Dongbai knew that Xu Hongru meant that everything was still in the plan, and there was no need to take any emergency measures.
So he went down and rested in peace.
Looking at the figure of Zhang Dongbai leaving, Xu Hongru suddenly glanced at Steward Meng with dissatisfaction. This guy is really not a thing, and if he doesn't leave here, he will have to make dozens of turns to talk to his subordinates.
So he stood up angrily and kicked on Steward Meng's fat body.
The fat flesh on Steward Meng's body was like a sponge of Storm Zhixiade, and the severe pain was quickly reflected in his computer, but he was too frightened to speak.
Xu Hongru didn't know why he had become a stuffy gourd, but his purpose still had to be achieved, although the hope was not entirely on this fat mouse, but if he could finish it, it would save him a lot of trouble in the future.
So he kicked again and shouted, "Do you understand what I just said? Remember? β
Steward Meng said tremblingly at this time: "Remember...... Remember, Ming...... I see. β
"Yours are going to tell Dr. Meng those things."
"I ...... I'll definitely tell my lord. β
Xu Hongru kicked him again angrily and scolded: "Don't hurry up and report the news." β
When Steward Meng heard this, he hurriedly rushed out of the door like a large ball, and left Xu Hongru's manor in Bian Jiatun in a relatively mellow way like a large ball.
Most of the people who live in this manor are people from the rivers and lakes recruited by Xu Hongru, and many of them are the backbone members of his Smelling Fragrance Sect.
They were quite unhappy when they saw Steward Meng coming in arrogantly, and now they felt that this guy was embarrassed to get out, and they didn't realize that they had a big piece of their hearts.
Looking at Brother Xu standing against the door, his indifferent expression, not only admired this big brother's uprightness and gentlemanly demeanor even more.
"Guys, please come in with me, I have something to say."
Xu Hongru saw that their eyes were all looking at him, so he simply called them all over, anyway, some things were also up to the time to talk.
Of course, what everyone followed Xu Hongru into was not his study, but a hall specially prepared for everyone's shirts.
Xu Hongru gave this hall a name, called Juyi Hall.
Here, the Water Margin plot is not only Hu San Mazi, but he Xu Hongru is not afraid to let it go.
After everyone sat down, Xu Hongru said slowly: "In the fortieth year of Wanli, Beizhili Qian'an was preparing to build a tall tower. Wang Sen sent Li Guozhen or Li something in the past, I heard about it afterwards, and I can't remember the name clearly. After this person arrived in Qian'an, he received the money but did not hand it over, and Wang Sen was furious. That guy simply rebelled against the White Lotus Sect, set up a separate sect by himself, and fought against Wang Sen. From then on, believers on both sides began to vendetta against each other. It hasn't stopped yet. β
Speaking of this, Xu Hongru stopped and took a sip of water. According to his habit of speeches, after the basic facts have been clearly explained, it will be his turn to express his feelings.
"What does this tell us? Tell us that these two groups of people are just fighting to the death for money. Does anyone really take the life and death of the believers seriously? Does anyone really want to make a good life for the congregationals? Every year, the believers save money and even go hungry, and donate incense money to them when they save a little bit of silver. What do the congregants get? They're just fooling people. β
Many people present had heard Xu Hongru introduce Wang Sen's deceptive tricks. For example, every year when a believer goes to visit, Wang Sen's little minions will inquire in advance how much money this person wants to donate, what he has done and what he has eaten recently. Then when the believers met Wang Sen, Wang Sen pretended to be a solemn look on the high platform, and then said I know how much money you want to donate. If you have any difficulties, how do you deal with them, what you like to eat, and what you have eaten after coming to me, he will tell you one by one.
The believers only felt that Wang Sen's mana was boundless and knew everything, so they were even more convinced. From then on, more treasures of gold and silver will be offered. So for Wang Sen, this has formed a virtuous circle to protect his financial income.
Speaking of which, this deception is not very clever, but anyone with a little brain has the ability to debunk it. Helplessly, the beings in the world are accustomed to the same thing, so that the minority who hold the truth has no place to live.
However, since Xu Hongru decided to join the minority faction, the main task of opposing Wang Sen fell on his shoulders. His method is also very simple, that is, to engage in popular science.
The sentient beings in the world will inadvertently follow the crowd, which means that as long as they are used well, they can be guided to develop in the ideal direction. Wang Sen's ideal was money, so he used this means to collect money. Now that he has lived the life of Gong Houban, if it weren't for Xu Hongru trying to cut off his main source of wealth, he wouldn't have risked the danger to connect with the Black Clothes Society.
So how did Xu Hongru do it?
A word that became widely known in later generations, popular science.
As a traverser, popular science is not difficult for Xu Hongru.
Wang Sen disseminated his teachings, and Xu Hongru disseminated his science. Although in the eyes of people in the seventeenth century, the so-called science was even more bizarre than Wang Sen's treasure scroll, but Xu Hongru's "spells" and "scriptures" succeeded almost every time.
Of course, this popular science work is definitely not only about spreading oneself, but also about destroying others.
Therefore, Xu Hongru ruthlessly exposed all kinds of deception of his teacher Wang Sen.
As a result, more and more believers began to disbelieve Wang Sen and no longer provided incense to Wang Sen's father and son, thus cutting off the source of wealth for the White Lotus Sect.
And Xu Hongru's science popularization work is still in full swing. Buy seeds of potatoes and sweet potatoes from the Black Coat Society, and then teach the believers how to plant them; and taught how to burn cement for use in houses and roads; It also teaches people how to strengthen their bodies and defend the fruits of their labor.
On top of that, Xu Hongru also opened schools in the area where he was preaching, so that believers could read and write. As long as they learn to read and write, more popular science content can enter their minds more conveniently.
And now, he is going to launch a new traverser nirvana, Qian Zhuang.
"I'm bringing you together today because I have a new decision to tell you. The money bank we have been planning for a long time is ready to open. Believers can deposit money that they don't need and withdraw it when they need it. β
This method is familiar to many people present. Hou Biao, who spread the Luo Zu religion in Yutai County, usually asked the believers to hand over a little bit of loose silver, and then anyone in trouble would respond.
But Xu Hongru's money bank is obviously different.
"This money bank is different from the membership fee we have to pay every year, but it is the same place to save money as other ticket numbers, and the money is still our own. The difference is that other ticket number banks all charge management fees, and ours not only do not use them, but also get a part of the interest every year. At present, it is tentatively set at an annual interest rate of 101. β
"Ahh
As soon as Xu Hongru's words fell, the surroundings fell into an uproar.
Kang Ning, who was close to Qingzhou Mansion, would soon know that this colleague of his was moving more and more in Yanzhou Mansion.
