Chapter 199: Layout of Guo Bei (I)
"Hey, have you heard? There's something big going on in Lanruo Temple! ”
"Lanruo Temple!? What's wrong? Could it be that some unlucky guy died over there? ”
"No, no, no! It's not that someone is dead this time, but that all the monsters entrenched in Lanruo Temple have been wiped out? ”
"What? The youkai of Lanruo Temple is dead? It's impossible, it's been decades, and I haven't heard of any immortals who can beat the monsters of Lanruo Temple! Are you not scolding me? ”
"Lie to you that you're a puppy! Haven't you seen it in the past two days? The lightning and thunder outside the city are like the earth dragon turning over, why do you think that? Let's tell you the truth! That's when an immortal passed by Lanruo Temple, and saw where the demonic spirit was soaring, so he had a big battle with the monsters of Lanruo Temple! That thunder and lightning is the immortal method of the immortals, and the monsters of Lanruo Temple have long been eliminated by the immortals! ”
"Really!?"
"It's true! My aunt's nephew is on an errand in the county office, and the county lord has already sent someone to investigate, and it is true. You didn't see it with your own eyes! You know the woods near Lanruo Temple, right? They were all razed to the ground by yesterday's battle..."
……
One night passed, for some reason, rumors spread in Guobei County, streets and alleys, teahouses and restaurants, everywhere there was a discussion about Lanruo Temple, whether it was a peddler or a pawn, or a dignitary, almost everyone knew that Guobei County came to Shangxian, and the demons outside the city were eliminated in a battle!
In the largest restaurant in Guobei County, Ye Sen and several people sat casually by the window, listening to the restaurant and the discussions on the streets and alleys, the corners of Ye Sen's mouth couldn't help but outline a smile. This money was not spent in vain, in just half a day, the incident of Lanruo Temple and the people who passed it on all knew about it!
"Brother Ye! Is this your plan? Spend money to hire someone for a walk these useless rumors? With this spare time, you might as well think more about how to build your sect! Compared with Ye Sen's happiness, Yan Chixia was obviously very disapproving, in his opinion, Ye Sen's move was obviously a waste of time! At this moment, Yan Chixia couldn't help but regret a little, in the end, she was young and knowledgeable, and she didn't have any rules to do things, so she shouldn't have agreed to join Ye Sen's bullshit plan so hastily!
"Ignorance!" Ye Sen glanced at Yan Chixia with great disdain, how could an ancient indigenous like Yan Chixia understand the importance of manipulating the right to public opinion? How can we understand the great power that the masses of the people can unleash?
However, although he felt extremely contemptuous of Yan Chixia's rat eyes, considering that Yan Chixia was one of his most important allies, Ye Sen still patiently explained: "Brother Yan, don't underestimate the power of these rumors, the people of Guobei County have been persecuted by the tree demon for nearly a hundred years, it is no exaggeration to say that Guobei County has reached the point where the color of Lanruo Temple has changed color and is afraid of it like a tiger, in this Guobei County, whose relatives and elders have not been killed by the tree demon of Lanruo Temple?" How great is the hatred accumulated over the past hundred years and generations? How terrifying? And now, the entire Guobei County knows that the demons of Lanruo Temple have been eliminated by the immortals! Looking at their demeanor, who is not grateful to this so-called immortal? ”
Yan Chixia's face changed slightly, but she still insisted on: "So what? Is it useful for ordinary people to be grateful to us? They're just mortals, what can they do for us? ”
Ye Sen said categorically: "It can help us obtain the most needed reserve source at the moment!" Now, we only need to show our identities, ascend to the heights, and the people will inevitably obey! When the time comes, are you still afraid that the new sect will not be able to receive disciples? At that time, I'm afraid that even if you don't say it, they will cry and shout, begging us to let us take theirs! ”
As soon as Ye Sen's words fell, Ning Caichen's eyes at the same table were full of brilliance, and he praised him: "What Brother Ye said is very true! As the saying goes, those who win the hearts of the people win the world! Throughout the ages, everything that has achieved great things has been like this! Brother Ye's method is very similar to the establishment of a force to compete for the world! ”
As a scholar, Ning Caichen's vision is undoubtedly much higher than that of Yan Chixia, a pure martial artist. Ye Sen's words undoubtedly aroused Ning Caichen's resonance and recognition more easily.
Even the swordsman Xia Hou on the side couldn't help but nod and praise: "Brother Ye's method is indeed far-sighted, if this plan can go well, it will be easy for us to gain a firm foothold in this Guobei County, and quickly develop into the largest and strongest sect in Shaoxing Mansion!" ”
Well, not only Ning Caichen, but even Xiahou became the target of Ye Sen's wooing, and happily joined Ye Sen's plan to build a sect. At this moment, Yan Chixia and the other four people, including Ye Sen, came to Guobei County to learn about the situation by the way.
Establishing a sect is not a simple matter, and in terms of exercises, Ye Sen is not lacking, but there is an extreme lack of talents. In this world, there are only one and a half people that Ye Sen can trust (one little fox, half Nie Xiaoqian), but neither the little fox nor Nie Xiaoqian are real human races, and they can't stand in the front desk to help Ye Sen manage the sect. In desperation, Ye Sen had no choice but to pull allies and bring Ning Caichen and Xiahou who stayed in Guobei County over.
Compared with those unfamiliar outsiders, Ye Sen is more willing to believe in the Ning Caichen and the swordsman Xiahou who he is familiar with, at least Ye Sen understands them and knows their conduct, and the two also understand Ye Sen's strong strength, once they choose to join, it will be difficult, maybe they don't dare, and they will betray themselves.
And controlling the two of them is still of great help to Ye Sen's plan to establish a sect, Ning Caichen is a scholar, literate, can help manage some housekeeping chores, and more importantly, he is kind-hearted, can help the new sect establish a good image, so as to win the recognition of the people or disciples.
As for Xiahou Swordsman, Ye Sen values his reputation in the rivers and lakes. As a martial artist who can compete with Yan Chixia for the number one swordsman in the world, Xiahou himself is definitely not small in the rivers and lakes, with him as an example, Ye Sen can attract many warriors who yearn for and desire strength, and enrich the strength of his sect.
However, Ye Sen's trust in people like Xiahou is still reserved, and in the future, Ye Sen plans to integrate people like Xiahou into the outer gate, responsible for fighting for territory, resources, and mundane affairs such as communicating with the government. Correspondingly, the inner disciple is the object of Ye Sen's plan, which is worth vigorously cultivating, and gradually grows into the backbone of dealing with the demons of the world and completing the task. 8)
