Hearing the three words of Wenxiangjiao, Tang Yi instinctively felt bad, starting from Chen Sheng and Wu Guang pretending to be foxes shouting and stuffing notes into the belly of the fish, and then to Zhang Jiao's Yellow Turban Uprising, Fang La's Manichaeism, Maitreya Religion, Jingjiao, Luojiao......

Along the way, anything that is associated with strange teachings will not be good.

In particular, Comrade Lao Zhu started his business by relying on the Ming Sect, and the Ming Dynasty has been strictly vigilant against folk sects in all dynasties, and has never been soft-hearted; every time it appears, it is full of blood, killing people's heads, and most of the local officials are also involved, losing their official positions, resigning, and even going to prison to cut off their heads.

Tang Yi only figured out at this time why Lu Bing said that he was a mutiny, and he let himself come over to quell the chaos, if it was reported to be a sectarian rebellion, then the problem would be countless times more serious.

The mutiny can only be regarded as an internal contradiction among the people, and it can also be resolved by soft means, but what kind of smelling incense sect has been made, it is called a large-scale killing...... Tang Yi's eyes flickered, and he said fiercely: "Lu Taibao, don't you want me to carry the black cauldron, if the Wenxiang Sect really has bad intentions, I advise you not to hide it, so as not to burn yourself." ”

Lu Bing sighed, "Okay, do you think I, Lu Bing, am a tired and crooked person?" Lu Jun, what kind of details do you have to teach Wenxiang, tell Master Tang. ”

"Yes." Lu Jun immediately gushed and told the situation of the Smelling Fragrance Sect......

Wenxiang Sect originated in the north of Luanzhou's Shifokou, also called the Eastern Mahayana Religion, the founding ancestor is named Wang Sen, he is a settling gentleman, claimed to have saved a fox, the fox cut off a tail to thank, with a strange fragrance, which is the origin of the word "smelling incense".

Wang Sen called on the villagers and neighbors to join the church, and more and more people were coming, and the local momentum was not small.

Lu Jun said: "Wenxiang Sect preaches the unity of the three religions, and deliberately combines Taoism, Buddha, and Confucianism together, saying that Burning Lamp, Shakya, and Maitreya should each have three tribulations. That is, there is no phase tribulation, solemn tribulation, and star tribulation, and it is said that when the calamity comes, only by believing in the incense religion can we be liberated. ”

When Tang Yi heard this, countless wheels immediately turned in his head, and he couldn't help but roar angrily: "Why don't such demonic brocade guards know how to clean up." Governor Lu, you raise so many people who eat white rice? ”

Lu Bing grinned and was speechless, Lu Jun hurriedly helped explain, "Lord Tang, you did misunderstand, although the Wenxiang Sect said that it was liberating, but their method of liberation was to practice qigong and cultivate the inner dan, and there was nothing to disobey the imperial court, on the contrary, they also relieved the displaced people. appease the people and live in harmony with the state and county yamen. Lord Tang, if even such a sect wants to kill him, the other sects should be killed. ”

"It was." Tang Yi said angrily: "I don't believe in what kind of good kind the Wenxiang Sect is, this kind of organization has always been either to rebel or to make money, and there is no good thing!" ”

"Lord Tang is really like a torch." Lu Jun said: "The Wenxiang Sect initially collected money from its followers, and most of the money it obtained was used to purchase rare treasures. On refining pills, I have been busy for a few years. Nothing. Later, the Wenxiang Sect changed the number of ways, and they still collected money, but only a small part of it was used for alchemy and medicine, and most of them were used to lend to believers who were short of money. In fact, interest is charged. ”

Seeing that Tang Yi was interested, Lu Jun continued: "Since the interest charged by the Wenxiang Sect is slightly lower than that of usury, many poor people are willing to borrow money from them, and with this, the number of believers has increased more and more. It spreads outward from Shuntianfu, Shaanxi, Henan, Huguang, Shandong, Jiangxi, Yingtian, and is said to have reached as far as Fujian and Zhejiang. However, the largest number of people are Shuntian and Shandong, with hundreds of thousands of letters, and there are no less than 30,000 people in Tianjin Sanwei alone. Moreover, the military households of Tianjin Sanwei and the people on Caokou all vied to join the Wenxiang Sect, and there were their temple strongholds in various places. Not only did they lend money to the people as they did in the past, but they also set up money bank ticket numbers, ran businesses, and bought and sold. ”

Lu Bing added with a bitter face: "A few days ago, someone came to ask for shares, and I knew that they were taught by smelling incense, so I promised to break the fortune and avoid disasters." I just thought they were a bunch of poor and crazy thieves, but I didn't expect the power to be so huge, and I made a mistake, a mistake! Lu Bing sighed, his strong dragon was the head snake of the Wenxiang Sect, and there was no way to do it.

After listening to the introduction of the pair of uncles and nephews, Tang Yi finally figured out what was going on, and also understood Lu Bing's embarrassment.

The Wenxiang Sect is different from other sects, they are only greedy for money, and they have not yet wanted to overthrow the Ming Dynasty. If a large army is mobilized to encircle and suppress it, it is very likely that hundreds of thousands of incense smelling disciples will be forced to rebel, which will be self-defeating.

Now that the Ming Dynasty is fighting in the south and the north, the treasury is empty, and there is no money to quell the chaos, even if the money is taken out, it will take a long time to quell the chaos. I have been planning painstakingly for so long, and I have worked tirelessly, talking about Jiajing, fighting the Golden Palace, and all my efforts have turned into flowing water.

As for Lu Bing, it's even worse, he opened the sea well and made a mess of chicken feathers, even if Jiajing pampered him again, it was useless. There is no need for the official to come out to clean him up, the eunuchs in the inner court can let him drink a pot.

Therefore, the matter in Tianjin in front of us must not be forced, even if it wins, it is a loss!

Hard can't work, you can only come soft, to put it bluntly, it's benefit sharing, which is also the reason why Lu Bingzuo asked Tang Yi to come over, who made him have a lot of ability and many ways!

Lu Bing said tentatively: "Okay, since the attack on the official office more than three days ago, the rebels have retreated to Dagukou, threatening to negotiate peace with the imperial court, saying that as Tianjin people, they can't help but give them benefits by opening the sea, and if they don't agree, they will continue to make trouble." I only have more than 2,000 brocade guards in my hands, and there are more than 20,000 chaotic people, and they are constantly gathering from all directions. ”

Tang Yi nodded, "I understand, you don't have the strength to suppress you, what about transferring troops, and I'm afraid that things will make a big deal and annoy Your Majesty, so I can't eat and walk around after blaming it, so there is only negotiation left." ”

Lu Bing's red face turned purple, and he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into, and said with a weak heart: "Okay, can you not talk so straight?" ”

"Can't!" Tang Yi was so angry that he slapped the table, "Lu Taibao, do you know that if the negotiation doesn't start now, it is equivalent to admitting defeat by half, and when it comes to the negotiation table, you don't have to lose much!" If you can't get the benefits of opening the sea, let the grandson of the Wenxiang Sect swallow it, how can we deal with ourselves? Is it a waste of time? ”

Lu Bing looked up at the starry sky, and said in a miserable voice: "It's okay if you work in vain, what I'm most afraid of now is chicken flying eggs." If Your Majesty is not happy, my Lu Wenming will really be doomed. ”

Lu Jun said with a bitter face: "Lord Tang, you know the matter of opening the sea best, and now you can only count on you to talk to the people of the Wenxiang Sect, as long as the negotiation is completed, even if you lose some benefits." Our Lu family is also willing to make up for it with money, and try not to let you suffer. ”

Tang Yi thought for a while, nodded and said: "So far, this is the only way to do, Lu Taibao, you go to send someone to contact the Wenxiang Sect, and say that they will send a steward over." ”

"Okay, I'll arrange it." Lu Bing said again: "Okay, Tianjin Wei is not peaceful, I have prepared a place for you to live." If they are not satisfied, I will ask the children to rearrange them. ”

Tang Yi smiled, "Don't bother, I really can't stand it after two days of driving, and I will talk about anything when I wake up." ”

Tang Yi hurriedly arrived at the pavilion and entered the bedroom, and smelled an attractive aroma.

When I looked at it, I saw a thin maid. Wearing a light blue skirt and a plain gown. A back, elegant like an ink painting, is completely different from those dressed up flowers and branches, desperately attracting the attention of men, looking forward to flying on the branches and becoming a phoenix, Tang Yi couldn't help but take a look at it. It's just a glance, and for hungry people, food is far more real than beauty.

When the maid heard the footsteps, she hurriedly turned around and saw Tang Yi's face flushed. Then he said timidly: "The slave has seen the adult. "The sound is crisp, like heaven.

Tang Yi smiled and said, "You made all these dishes?" ”

The maid said humbly, "I'm afraid that the clumsy craftsmanship of the slave and maid will not be able to match the appetite of the adults." ”

Tang Yi sat down at the table, everyone said that the text was like his person, but in fact, the dishes were like his people, the dishes on the table were full of dishes, there were no fancy decorations, no strong sauce, and no thick grease.

Just like a woman's outfit, it is pure and elegant, revealing a different charm. Tang Yi can be regarded as half a gourmet, he looked around, stretched out his hand and picked up a large pot of chicken soup duck tongue soup, tasted two bites, and it was extremely delicious. I saw him put his lips on the edge of the basin, from left to right, and then from right to left, and took two sips, and the soup was less than a third.

The maid was dumbfounded, and just now the people from Jinyiwei came to tell her that she was a great talented official who wanted to live here, so that she could serve her well, and she must not be lazy.

She naturally agreed, and when she saw Tang Yi, she was also shocked. This guy looks less than twenty years old, young and handsome, sven and chic, can get the attention of Jinyiwei, and is definitely not an ordinary person.

But, but, but...... His eating appearance is too much...... Similar to a beggar, the maid covered her mouth vigorously for fear of screaming.

Tang Yi didn't care what she thought, she came a few more times, drank a full pot of soup, burped, swayed, and walked to the bedroom. When he arrived at the door, he also said: "The official is tired, if you want to climb the sheets, wait for a few days." ”

The maid's face was bloodshot in an instant, red and hot, like a big apple.

Facing Tang Yi's back, she glared fiercely, "Hmph, just the virtue of your reincarnated soil bun of the starving ghost, and crawling your sheets, in the next life...... No, don't even think about it for eighteen lifetimes! It's really eyeless, he's so virtuous that he is a young man, and they all say that the court is dark, and sure enough! ”

The girl scolded in a low voice for a long time, and the only thing that responded to her was Tang Yi's thunderous sound, which kept echoing in the room, shaking her ears and hurting, she blushed, quickly cleaned up the table, and fled.

……

After eating and drinking, Tang Yi slept soundly, and it took him almost three hours before he got up, and his spirit had recovered most of it. After casually finding some water and washing up, the guards outside ran in and whispered a few words in Tang Yi's ear.

"Let him in." Tang Yi said lightly.

After a while, a middle-aged man wearing a melon skin hat ran in, and when he saw Tang Yi, his eyes were red with excitement, and he hurriedly fell to the ground, "Master, you can think badly about your disciple!" “

It was none other than Wu Tiancheng.

Speaking of which, when he was accepted as a disciple, most of them were jokes, and even Wu Tiancheng was reluctant to tell others more. But as Tang Yi soared into the sky, the tide rose, Tang Yi's apprentice, that is a golden signboard, in the southeast, which big family dares not to give him face.

Wu Tiancheng is also more and more proud of his teacher, and he works hard to do things, and he is taking care of most of the things in the traffic line.

At the beginning of the year, the investigation report of Kaihai was still issued by Wu Tiancheng, Tang Yi knew that if he wanted to do a good job in Kaihai, he had to settle the local wealthy businessmen and gentry, and it was not enough to rely on the connections in the officialdom, so he sent a letter early and transferred Wu Tiancheng up. As a big tent in the traffic bank, Wu Tiancheng's every move can attract the association of many people, and he rushed to Tianjin more than half a month ago.

Although Tang Yi said that Tianjin was handed over to Lu Bing, how could he be the shopkeeper.

"Tiancheng, I heard Lu Bing say that the chaos in Tianjin is the Wenxiang Sect making trouble, isn't that so?"

Wu Tiancheng smiled, "Master, if you want to be just a Smelling Fragrance Sect, is it so troublesome?" The Smelling Fragrance Sect is just a clown jumping on the stage, and behind it are the people of the Canal Gang who are making trouble, and the water is deep here! (To be continued.) )
