Zoroastrianism, a sect from the country of the far west, believes in the King of Great Light, and has the title of the god of fire, Mingzun, the sun god, etc., the doctrine is roughly that all beings are equal, the world is brothers and sisters, leading people to goodness, since Zoroastrianism was introduced to Middle-earth Shenzhou, Zoroastrianism has rebelled many times, and the imperial court has always regarded Zoroastrianism as a cult and banned it, but Zoroastrianism has been secretly spreading among the people, and it is always resurrected.

From the Yinghai Gang Wu Tiexiong, Xiao Tianlei learned about the Zoroastrian rebellion, Xiao Tianlei is not surprised at all, Daxia is similar to the feudal dynasty in the previous life, the magnates continue to encroach on the land, but they do not bear taxes, plus a bunch of temples and Taoist temples, they also do not pay taxes, and they also occupy a large area of land, the emperor has built a lot of buildings, and in the past few years, it is completely conscriptive to imagine the life of ordinary people, and what a prosperous era is full of joy, such a prosperous era is just a carnival before the end of the world, there is oppression and resistance, even if this world has martial arts, The force of the imperial court is difficult for ordinary people to resist, but if you really can't live, you are not afraid of death, once someone takes the lead, rebellion is inevitable, even if there is no Zoroastrianism, there are other religions, and those teachings are just a gimmick to gather people's hearts.

Zoroastrian rebellion, Xiao Tianlei is not very important, it is far away from Lingzhou, it is not about himself, the key is that the imperial court is afraid that he will not have time to take care of the brotherhood in the future, Lingzhou has also stabilized, Xiao Tianlei has enough time to carry out some originally envisaged construction.

Originally, since the imperial court's sailors returned to Ninghai Port, during this time, Xiao Tianlei and a group of brothers took warships to Ninghai Port from time to time to shoot a few cannons, but those navy ships cowered in the port and did not come out, and they were not bored to fight, so they simply continued to encircle and suppress the pirates' lair, and obtained some ships and materials.

The Sea Shark Gang sold these ships to those maritime merchants who had been forcibly requisitioned, and the Brotherhood no longer bombarded Ninghai Port, and some trade at sea gradually returned to normal.

Leaving a group of brothers to preside over the affairs of the sea, Xiao Tianlei and the other brothers returned to Lingzhou.

It was also during the period when Xiao Tianlei and the others left, the news of the imperial army's expedition to Lingzhou came, and the people were panicked, and some people were ready to move, or spread rumors, but under the strict monitoring and control of the brotherhood, these people were basically arrested, killed, raided, sent to do hard labor, and expelled.

When Xiao Tianlei and the others returned to Lingzhou, the news of the Brotherhood's Sea Shark Gang's victory over the imperial court had already spread, and the hearts of the people in Lingzhou had stabilized, and those who secretly looked at the imperial court to wipe out the Brotherhood had to temporarily stop their minds.

For this kind of ghostly matter, Xiao Tianlei only needs to give one instruction now, and naturally some departments of the Brotherhood will deal with it, so he doesn't need to spend his energy to pay attention to it. Xiao Tianlei mainly deals with some affairs in the general policy of the development of the brotherhood, and there are some institutional improvements, and some research and improvement in industrial science and technology, which are the real serious things.

After Xiao Tianlei returned to Lingzhou, the first thing he did was to take some brothers into the dense forest west of Lingzhou to explore the terrain of the dense forest, he was going to build a road in the dense forest to connect those small countries in the west, once the road was opened, he could send troops to bring these small countries into control, many of those small countries were vassal countries of Great Xia, relatively backward, but because of the geographical location, they were very rich, and some small countries were still in an era similar to slavery, and it was not difficult to attack these small countries. You can exercise the army of Lingzhou, and you can also get the population and territory, in fact, there are already a lot of people from these small countries in Lingzhou now, they are slaves purchased by the Brotherhood from these small countries, and the characteristics are loyalty, orders issued, uncompromised completion, and they are not afraid of death, compared to those good people in Great Xia, Xiao Tianlei prefers these populations, and it is easier to assimilate.

Because he brought the steel mane with Wukong, the exploration work went very smoothly, planning the rough construction route of the road, and directly mobilizing some people to start cutting down trees and opening up roads. It's just that the construction of this road is also carried out in secret, and outsiders will not be able to know about it for a period of time, Xiao Tianlei is ready to quietly knock down some small countries in the west.

Lingzhou has also developed steadily during this period of time, trade has prospered, and the Brotherhood has won several big victories, but in fact, it is not calm secretly, there are a lot of messy things, and many people and forces are fighting the idea of the Brotherhood.

For example, some people whose relatives died at the hands of the Brotherhood tried to assassinate some important personnel of the Brotherhood or engage in some sabotage, for such people, no matter what reason he had, Xiao Tianlei would not show mercy, once caught, he would either say goodbye to the world, or do decades of hard labor. In fact, these people are just a single person to take revenge or something, it's completely funny, Lingzhou is now basically completely under the strict control of the brotherhood, and a group of special service personnel have been specially trained, those people have not had time to act, they have been arrested, even if they do it, they will be sent to death, so personal heroism kills people.

There are also people with higher IQs, who try to endure humiliation and join the brotherhood, take the opportunity to take revenge, and even run to the door of the brotherhood to pretend to be pitiful, or drag the family of the leader of the brotherhood, and ask to sell themselves into slavery, but unfortunately, Lingzhou has no such thing as selling himself now, and foreign slaves don't care, Lingzhou locals only hire people to do things, sign contracts, pay for them, and are not allowed to beat and insult at will, and must not force employees to do things they are not willing to do. The only way for ordinary people to want to join the fraternity is to pass some assessments to prove their expertise, and some professionals are needed, mainly various craftsmen. After joining, you have to enter the workshop to work, you can't walk around at will, you commute to and from work every day, you don't have time and opportunity to do anything else, you know nothing more than your own work, and if you want to explore the secrets of the fraternity, you can do it for at least a few decades.

Some people try to buy some Shanyue people or members of the Brotherhood with money, Xiao Tianlei mentioned the issue of bribery to the members of the Brotherhood very early, and then continued to instill some truths, so that the members of the Brotherhood know that the money that comes for nothing is not so easy to collect, and for a little money, they may let themselves and their families end up miserable, just like the Shanyue people have been enslaved for many years because of the greed and betrayal of a few people. Besides, for this kind of thing, there have long been regulations, and the benefits can be accepted, but the matter has to be reported, if the big fish is caught, there are dividends, as for those who are caught, they are generally asked to ask the people behind them or their families to take money to redeem them, and if no one takes money to redeem them, they can only do hard labor.

For the leader of the brotherhood, there are also people who make up their minds, come to the door to ask for a meeting or intercept halfway, Mao then recommends himself, wants to become the chief of the brotherhood's staff, claiming that he can give advice and achieve great things or something, this kind of guy is directly arrested and interrogated, without any torture, a bowl of ecstasy is poured down, everything is recruited, and the result is to cause discord.

The leaders who want to divide the Brotherhood may be effective for other forces, but for the upper echelons of the Brotherhood, there is basically no possibility of success. Not to mention that Xiao Tianlei and the brothers grew up together since childhood, and the relationship is already close, what Xiao Tianlei taught them is unimaginable to outsiders, the vision is different, and the ideas are different, not to mention the power that the brothers have worked hard to build, now there is nothing missing, what Xiao Tianlei's brothers pursue is difficult for ordinary people to understand. After many years of hearing and seeing, Xiao Tianlei and his brothers are as cunning as ghosts, and some conspiracies and tricks can be understood at a glance. Besides, if you have a hero template, will you still treat yourself as an ordinary person? This is the real core member of the Brotherhood, and anyone who does not have a hero template can only be regarded as an outsider. The existence of the private chat system allows them to communicate at any time, and the understanding and trust of each other are incomprehensible to outsiders.

In addition, there is also a beauty plan, recently Xiao Tianlei's brother's family has come to a lot of matchmakers, in addition to some businessmen or something, send some women, Xiao Tianlei let them all accept it, if you like it, you can also stay, but who wants to have a secret agent by his side? Basically, they are sent to work, and some talents are sent to the art troupe.

In order to explore the secrets of the Brotherhood, those people really tried their best to send people to contact Xiao Tianrong and Xiao Tianlu, wanting to find out the news of the Brotherhood through the two, but unfortunately, the two couldn't hear anything at all, and the identities of the two were meaningless to the members of the Brotherhood. Therefore, the current brotherhood is basically a strict group combined with various regulations and regulations, and there is a clear difference between it and a gang formed by the prestige and personal relations of a few people, or a system under feudal rule.

Xiao Tianrong and Xiao Tianlu are also stupid, they really think that their identities are useful, and they want to peep into some forbidden areas, ordinary people just beat them casually and drag them out, for the two of them, Xiao Tianlei specially ordered a violent beating, and it is estimated that the two of them will have to lie on the bed for a while.

Most of the so-called conspiracies and tricks are things that cannot be put on the table and cannot be stopped, but strict systems and ideological education can prevent and eliminate them to the greatest extent. A truly healthy and complete group is not just a few conspiracies that can be subverted, if it is really subverted by some conspiracies, it can only mean that the group's ability is extremely flawed or has come to an end.

Xiao Tianlei strives to improve the various systems of the brotherhood, and he will not engage in any conspiracy, he believes that as long as he develops step by step, establishes a strict system, lays a solid foundation, and has real strength, he can be swept away by any bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods.

For all this, Xiao Tianlei has a clear idea, and he also informed the brothers of these ideas, but the brotherhood is now a big business, and in the actual operation process, it is inevitable that there will be some troubles of one kind or another.

Recently, the Xiao family has come to some guests one after another, some distant relatives of the Xiao family, relatives of relatives, and relatives who don't know where to get out, Xiao Tianlei is not clear anyway, basically he doesn't know, the only one he knows is Xiao Qinghe, the patriarch of the Xiao clan in Xiao Yi of Langxi County, and he also brought some Xiao family's children.

These people are working hard to move around some elders of the Xiao family and Xiao Tianlei's parents, getting closer to each other and saying good things, and they are enthusiastic, the purpose is to arrange some children to work in the brotherhood. Although Xiao Tianlei's grandfather and parents can't be the master, it is not easy to refuse for the sake of face, this matter is pushed in front of Xiao Tianlei, Xiao Tianfu, Xiao Tianbao, according to Xiao Tianlei's meaning, regardless of whether these people are really talents or not, if they want to do things in the brotherhood, they go directly to sign up, pass the assessment, and start from some simple things. However, seeing that his parents and grandfather couldn't wipe off their face, Xiao Tianlei and the others had to meet each other and go through the motions.

Listening to these relatives boasting, the children brought are all talents in the clan, but whether they are talented or not, Xiao Tianlei looks at the actual ability, if they are really capable, Xiao Tianlei also welcomes them to the brotherhood to do things.

There are a lot of relatives who came, just the introduction and greetings have to be old for a long time, Xiao Tianlei directly skipped this procedure, for him, these people are actually no different from strangers, let these relatives call people who want to do things in the brotherhood together, and have an interview meeting.

When everyone arrived, Xiao Tianlei saw that they were basically children dressed as scribes, and many of their expressions were also a little arrogant, and they suddenly had a score in their hearts, and they were not polite, nor did they talk nonsense, and said directly: "Of course you fellow clansmen want to do things in the brotherhood." However, the ugly words are said in the front, even if it is the same race, there will be no special treatment, and the brotherhood will not accept waste and do not raise idlers, which will definitely not change. Okay, I won't talk nonsense, let's talk about it now, what will you all do? ”

Xiao Tianlei's first sentence was so unsympathetic, many of the clansmen present frowned, and so did those who planned to do things in the brotherhood, but most of them were extremely confident in their talents, but their answers were basically the same, nothing more than being familiar with the articles of sages since childhood, proficient in poetry and songs, or knowing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and some also read some books on the art of war and strategy, and some simple arithmetic.

"I'm asking you what you're going to do, not what you've learned...... In the articles of sages, there are many people who can say great truths, but there are not many people who can do things. Reciting poetry, singing and dancing, that is, a pastime, don't take it seriously. Arithmetic, that's the most basic ability, what else can it be? ”

The children thought for a while, and shook their heads secretly, there was really nothing else.

"Will it be farming? Will you be a unionist? Do you know how much a stone of rice costs? How much is pork a pound? ......" Xiao Tianlei asked some common sense questions.

"As a scholar, how can I do such a lowly thing!" One of the disciples said angrily.

Xiao Tianlei didn't look at the kid, glanced at everyone, and said, "That's nothing!" In this case, you can participate in some special examinations set up by the brotherhood, and if you pass, you can become an ordinary clerk or worker, starting from the most basic and simplest steps, and it is up to you to see which step you can achieve. Xiao Tianlei pointed out a way, which can be regarded as giving them a chance, and whether they seize it or not is their own business.

Xiao Tianlei was so unsympathetic, the clansmen present gave Old Man Xiao a look.

"Cough, Tianlei, now that the brotherhood's family business is big, the people who do things are some warriors, and the people who govern the people's livelihood have to rely on the scribes!" According to Old Man Xiao's thoughts, now the power of the Brotherhood is basically stable, and the imperial court has nothing to do, but it is really unpopular with the people, and if you want to win the hearts of the people, you still need a scribe to come forward.

"The Brotherhood of Governing the People's Livelihood has its own practices, and the scribes who can't do things, the Brotherhood doesn't need it!" Xiao Tianlei said categorically.

"Even if you can't, you can learn." Old Man Xiao said again.

"I want them to learn, many things in the Brotherhood are different from the outside, so you have to start from the basics, if you don't even want to do the basics, you can't figure out the simplest things, what's the use?" Xiao Tianlei asked rhetorically.

"Well, that's the same reason!" Old Man Xiao nodded in agreement, no longer spoke, and understood in his heart that Xiao Tianlei was right, in fact, he didn't want to intervene in the affairs of the brotherhood, but those relatives really couldn't wipe their face, speaking of which, Xiao Tianlei said that Old Man Xiao felt worthy of those relatives, it depends on how they choose.

What those relatives want is definitely not this result, especially those children, after listening to Xiao Tianlei's unceremonious words, they are all extremely unconvinced, many of them are scribes who have passed the literary examination, and some identities are worthless in Xiao Tianlei's mouth.

"Humph! What do you know as a martial artist who hasn't read a book?! With our knowledge, not to mention holding a position in the brotherhood, it is enough to be an official, and the rules of one of your brotherhoods are greater than the imperial court? One of the disciples said angrily.

Xiao Tianlei nodded seriously and said: "You are really right, the rules of the Brotherhood are much bigger than those of the imperial court, otherwise how could they repel the attacks of the imperial court several times?" As for your knowledge, you may really be able to become an official in the imperial court, but in the Brotherhood, if you don't know some basic things, you still want a position? Is it a position that wants to be blessed or a position of prestige? Thinking that the brotherhood will come to do real things, I welcome it, and if you want to be promoted and rich, you want a position of power or something, but you are in the wrong place! ”

Xiao Tianlei understands the thoughts of these people, thinking that the brotherhood is fake, it is nothing more than wanting to ascend to heaven by one person, through the door of kinship, and get benefits from the light, and want to get a high position in vain, glory and wealth, this is the root of the brotherhood, once the mouth is opened, the consequences are unimaginable, where will Xiao Tianlei be polite? A sentence cut off this thought of these people!

Xiao Qinghe saw that the atmosphere was a little stiff, and came out to be a peacemaker, and said: "The nephews of the clan are all brothers of the same clan, why should they be so serious, they can't be accommodating?" ”

"Absolutely not, accommodating? When the rules of my brotherhood are not to be furnished?! The brotherhood does everything according to the rules, and if the rules are broken, the king of heaven will not recognize it! Brothers of the same kind...... If you want to be my brother, not everyone has that qualification! After that, Xiao Tianlei ignored the faces of everyone present, and led people to leave directly, dealing with a lot of things, how could he have the time to deal with these waste materials.
