Chapter 403: White Lotus Red Sun
Storing grain is not enough, it is too passive, and it is not good to check it with a knife and a gun, it is too active.
Like stew, if the fire is too big, it won't work if the fire is small. It's hard to get the heat right.
Asking the clan squires to consult with each other had already been calculated in his heart, and if he wanted to find out the leader of the White Lotus Sect lurking in Tianjin quietly, and not to cause a mutiny, Qin Kan took a lot of thought.
Today's Ming Dynasty no longer has a family gatekeeper, but instead has the rise of the scholarly civil service class, which also includes more and more businessmen secretly stirring up trouble and providing money as political donations.
But it is undeniable that the most important and basic power of the Ming Dynasty today is still the clan squires in various places, who exercise greater power than the county lord in their own territory, and have a prestige in the hearts of the villagers that even the county lord cannot match. For example, in Qinzhuang, Shanyin County, where Qin Kan was born, the administrative affairs of the entire Qinzhuang were all decided by the old patriarch of the Qin family.
In all dynasties, the clan has always been the solid foundation on which the court continues to rule.
What Qin Kan wants to see today is this solid foundation inside and outside Tianjin.
…………
…………
At noon on the second day, the clan squires inside and outside the city of Tianjin sat in the front hall of the Yamen of the Jinyi Guard with apprehension, waiting for Qin Kan, the legendary murderer who did not blink an eye, to summon him.
When Qin Kan, who was wearing a python robe and had a jade face, slowly walked out of the front hall with a smile on his face, a group of local elders and respected squires stood up one after another, and then all of them were a little shorter in front of Qin Kan. All I heard in the front hall was the sound of plopping knees on the ground.
Qin Kan smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed into a slit.
On a chessboard that had just begun, Qin Kan steadily dropped the second piece.
****************************************************************
Playing chess naturally requires an opponent, and each person takes turns to drop a piece before it is called chess.
At the same time that Qin Kan summoned the clan squire, in a remote and inconspicuous peasant house outside Tianjin, a group of middle-aged people dressed in ordinary and simple clothes surrounded a Fanghua woman about twenty-nine years old, everyone knelt to the west, and there was an incense case in front of them, on which was a statue of an old mother carved by agarwood, and the nine freshly lit incense sticks on the incense burner flickered and emitted a strange light.
In the silence, everyone knelt down and bowed. The posture of kneeling is slightly different from that of ordinary people when they worship the Buddha. Kowtow three times, and then lie deeply on the ground, in the standard five-body throwing position.
I don't know how long it took to recite the obscure scriptures in my mouth. Everyone lowered their voices and shouted in unison, "No mother." Vacuum Hometown". This is the end of the worship ceremony.
The young woman who was surrounded by everyone slowly turned around, revealing a cold and familiar beautiful face, which turned out to be the Tang Divine Doctor who treated Mu Bin yesterday and changed the dressing.
The name of Tang Divine Doctor is naturally not called "Divine Doctor". In fact, she has a very nice name, called Tang Zihe.
In fact, her identity in the White Lotus Sect is very transcendent, known as the "Red Yang Girl", the so-called "Red Yang", in the White Lotus Sutra, the world is divided into three stages, Qingyang, Hongyang, and Baiyang.
Qingyang refers to the time when chaos was not opened, when there was no heaven and earth, but there was already light and darkness, so the lifeless old mother sent the lamp Buddha to rule the lower realm of this world.
The red sun refers to the current stage of today, this stage of darkness overwhelms the light, the world is facing a terrible catastrophe, after the battle between light and dark, the light will win, Maitreya will come to the world, the most people in the future generations of the world welcome the advent of the white sun period, just like a woman has survived the period of the great aunt and ushered in a happy white belt......
Since the failure of Tang Sai'er's rebellion in Yongle Nian and the whereabouts of him have disappeared, the White Lotus Sect has actually been divided, not subordinate to each other, and each is busy with the cause of rebellion, and the titles of the positions in the White Lotus Sect are very confusing, and the position of "Red Yang Girl" is not available in the White Lotus Sect, and there is no unified personnel system at all.
But all the White Lotus Sects have one thing in common, that is, they all call Tang Sai'er, who failed in the rebellion, "Our Lady of the White Lotus", and the Hongyang girls of all dynasties are orphans, regardless of Zhao Qian, Sun and Li, all of them are named with the surname "Tang", one is to commemorate the tall one among the dwarves, and finally made some big noise to add to the Ming Dynasty The White Lotus heroine, and the other pretended to be Tang Sai'er's aftermath, pretending to fool the villagers and saying that it was Tang Sai'er's inheritance, and the surname Tang was more convincing, so as to increase their market competitiveness.
The world is difficult, and it is not easy to do anything, and the same is true for rebellion. If we don't desperately think of some tricks to seize market share, how can we develop the rebellion in full swing? When will the spark of revolution ignite? Not to mention that the imperial court spared no effort to kill, the competition between peers was also fierce. Although there are many fools in these years, there are more scammers, and in contrast, fools are obviously not enough, and increasing their own competitiveness is the king.
In addition to proclaiming that she is Tang Sai'er, she will also perform some tricks such as catching ghosts in the air, boiling oil to make money, etc., which can be described as bitter development and dismal management.
Of course, in addition to being the image spokesperson of the White Lotus Sect, Hongyang Nu's status in the sect is also quite transcendent, similar to the identity of the imperial court, but the difference is that the power is not too great, and she does not have the courage to decide the life and death of tens of millions of people with a single word like Qin Kan.
Tang Zihe's White Lotus Sect is a larger one on the boundary of Beizhili, the reason why the scale is larger, all thanks to Tang Zihe's personal work, she was born and raised, and discovered Tianjin, a treasure of feng shui, so this White Lotus Sect ushered in a period of career rise.
…………
…………
After worshipping the childless mother, everyone sat down one after another, and Tang Zihe sat on the head.
A middle-aged man who looked like the leader of the sect got up and hugged his fists and said: "Hongyang girl, the Ming court sent Qin to Tianjin, obviously with the intention of exterminating my Tianjin White Lotus Sect, this time the people of the sect are not easy to deal with, unlike the ordinary factory guards in the past, Qin Kan's reputation for killing people without blinking an eye is heard all over the world, and he is cunning and scheming, the general altar of Beizhili has sent the brothers in the sect three times to ask, should we start it in advance?" ”
When Tang Zihe heard this, his cold and pretty face appeared with annoyance, and his white teeth bit his lower lip, and said: "The main altar is hundreds of miles away, and they don't know anything about Tianjin, but they only know that they urge us to launch, the temple has been lost, how can we win?" Send someone to the general altar to reply, I have already seen that Qin Kan, and I am looking for an opportunity to make contact, and at this time, I will revolt in a hurry, and everything will fail. ”

PS: The saying of Qingyang, Hongyang, and Baiyang in the White Lotus Sect is indeed something in history, and I didn't make it up...... (To be continued.) )
