Chapter 469: The Chaos in Southern Fujian (Plus Update)

After coming down from the Hanging Urn Mountain, Fang Hong's breath was a little chaotic, but he was in a good mood. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Info finally got rid of the broken ship, even if it hurt the enemy by a thousand and damaged himself by eight hundred, he felt very happy.

Fang Hong has never been a generous person, the boat almost sucked his soul away last time, and he still has palpitations when he thinks about it. Today, he blew himself up, extinguished so many lotus lanterns, and intercepted a large piece of the river, all in all, he was not a loss.

"Fang Hong, are you okay?" Xie Chaoyu looked at Fang Hong with a worried expression, Fang Hong at this time, his face was pale and terrifying, just like a blank piece of paper.

"Don't worry, I'm fine. Fang Hong smiled again, Yin He quickly regained himself, wrapped in a large amount of Yin Qi, and quickly replenished it into the divine body, the turbulent thoughts were re-bound, his essence was also quickly controlled, and a trace of blood appeared on his face.

After cultivating the Yin River, you can use yourself as a dojo, and even if you are seriously injured, you can recover quickly.

Seeing that Fang Hong's complexion had improved, Xie Chaoyu breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, her heart was full of remorse. If she had known that something would happen, she would never mention it.

"Let's go, try not to set foot on this hanging urn mountain in the future. "That fragrant spring stream is likely to be the passage between the Yang World and the strange world, and it has been blessed and sealed by someone, and it needs to be used to dissipate the passage. As long as the person who drinks the well water, he will be taken away by the war spirit inside and survive in another state.

The legend of Xiangquan Stream has a long history, and there are not a few people who drink the water in it. What Fang Hong was worried about now was that if everyone who drank the water was taken away, the person who controlled these battle spirits behind him would probably become an extremely terrifying existence.

Moreover, I don't know how many such wells there are, if they are distributed all over the world and connected into a big network, it is estimated that even the imperial court will be helpless. After all, no one knows if there are any officials within the court who have also been taken away.

However, Fang Hong believed that there must be a limit to this thing, and if it was really unlimited, the power required would be too great. Besides, these battle spirits were all hundreds of years ago, maybe if you want to take them, you have to cultivate them for hundreds of years. Only in this way can it be reasonable.

Fang Hong and the others rode horses, returned to the long pavilion near Taiyuan City, and after calling a few servants, they sat in a sedan chair and returned to the city.

......

Fang Hong, who returned to Taiyuan City, seized the time to refine the snatched section of the river, and at the same time, spent thousands of taels of silver to buy a large amount of medicinal metals to refine the Seven Star Sword. Because he blew himself up with the sword, his nourishment a few days ago was completely destroyed.

His life has returned to calm, but on the southern Fujian side, it is not so stable.

Fujian is a relatively peculiar place in the whole Ming Dynasty, where conservative and open coexist. Because of the proximity to the sea, commerce and trade inevitably developed. However, this place has been deeply infiltrated by the Confucian culture of the Han people. At the beginning, the small court of the Southern Song Dynasty mainly occupied the southern land, so a very special cultural atmosphere was formed here.

Here, there were countless gentry families, these great clans, on the surface, were representatives of Confucian learning, but secretly, they controlled countless trade routes and earned a lot of money.

The Ming Dynasty imposed a maritime ban, but this also led to a more developed maritime trade. A large amount of money was transported back because of smuggling by sea, and the imperial court could not receive half a tael of silver.

These clans were the staunchest supporters of the sea ban, and they did not allow anyone to go to the sea to trade, whether it was ordinary people or the Ming court. Because once the imperial court opens the sea ban, they will lose a lot of money.

Five years ago, the White Lotus people entered the land of southern Fujian to preach, and in order to compete for the survival territory, it was inevitable that there would be conflicts with the locals. On one side is the head snake, on the other side is the dragon crossing the river, once the two sides have a contradiction, they will naturally fight.

But there is no way to go on like this, the White Lotus Sect is powerful, not only has its own private soldiers, but also has a large number of believers. And the Hokkien clan has countless money, and the two sides have quarreled, which is really endless. For the sake of their respective interests, the two sides began peace talks.

People from all ethnic groups in southern Fujian joined the White Lotus Sect and became high-level among them. And the big clans of southern Fujian gave up their own interests and gave the White Lotus Sect a piece of the pie.

In fact, it seems that both sides have suffered losses, but it is a win-win situation. The White Lotus Sect has gained a foothold and can be given a chance to recuperate. With the help of the power of the White Lotus Sect, the major clans expanded vigorously and gained greater benefits.

Although there was some occasional friction between the two sides, on the whole, they were still at peace with each other, and the rapidly growing wealth temporarily concealed the internal contradictions, and a skillful balance was reached.

However, two letters from some time ago upset this balance. In the first letter, the saint summoned the lords of the major altars to Taiyuan, saying that there was something important to discuss. The original high-level of the White Lotus Sect did not dare to delay, listened to the order, and hurried over. But the people of the southern Fujian family were reluctant to go, in addition to worrying about danger, they were more contemptuous of the saint. They have their own family support, and they are not very afraid of the White Lotus Sect. And the White Lotus Sect will not fight with them because of this matter.

Therefore, the Minnan family sent their own deputies, which is a bit of a meaning.

And the second letter is even more bizarre, the saint actually asked everyone to sell the shops in the church and exchange them for gold and silver, in order to prevent someone from buying the shops at a low price, fake public and private, she must also have people send the account book over first, to eliminate the possibility of fraud.

As soon as this incident came, it instantly caused an uproar in the southern Fujian series. The White Lotus Sect sells the shop, this matter seems simple, many people think that it would be good for the major clans to buy the shop back, and they will not lose money anyway. However, the problem cannot be counted that way. The land of southern Fujian has developed commerce and trade, and many outsiders have also taken a fancy to this place, but they have never had the opportunity to come in.

If the White Lotus Sect sells the shop, those outsiders will buy it desperately, so that the local wealth of southern Fujian will have to be divided by outsiders, how can those big clans be willing?

Especially the big merchant An Guo in the land of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, whose business is all over Jiangsu and Zhejiang, is now planning to enter southern Fujian, and the White Lotus Sect is selling shops this time, isn't it just giving him the opportunity. Anguo's wealth, few people in Fujian can match, once he comes in, other people's business will definitely be greatly affected.
