The task prompted by the system was officially completed after the beggar gang's power in Yangzhou City was uprooted.

At the beginning, the bloody assassination method was used to eliminate Hu Mazi and his subordinates, which was not a complete extermination of the beggar gang.

In the final analysis, Hu Mazi is just the leader of a group of thieves who have done all the bad things, and the beggar gang is a relatively scattered organization.

Only when black and white strike together, so that it has no soil for survival, can it be truly eradicated.

"Task 1: The Yangzhou Beggar Gang specializes in stealing, abducting, sending, defrauding, forcing good people to become prostitutes, etc., and divides the underground world of Yangzhou City equally with the Maitreya Sect. (Completed)

Reward: 100,000 proficiency points."

On the day the task was completed, the Maitreya Sect officially became the only unspeakable underground force in Yangzhou City, and its foundation tentacles stretched to every people at the bottom who were struggling to survive.

Absorb the hearts of the people with free free medical treatment and rescue of orphans and widows, and then through daily almsgiving, in the name of the City God Temple, promote religious ideas to educate believers, and teach literacy for free by the way, and then borrow the huge power of the people in their hands to come out and play with all parties.

Similar to the trade unions of later generations, the Maitreya Church has special representatives to negotiate with the major leaders of the Cao Gang, the wharf warehouse shopkeeper, as well as car dealers, foot shops, workshops and other forces to ensure the basic survival interests of the people at the bottom.

If they did not agree, Maitreya would organize a strike among the people at the bottom, and the government would only persuade the merchants and workshop owners for fear of causing a popular uprising.

This move, of course, will touch the interests of the major local forces, and many people grit their teeth with hatred for Maitreya, but in view of the various great achievements made by the new head of Maitreya since he succeeded to the throne, it is quite fearful to everyone.

I was afraid that the blind man would run to someone's house in the middle of the night to slaughter the whole house, and the little benefit given to the bottom of the bitter haha actually couldn't take the lion's share, and it could also arouse their enthusiasm for work, so I gritted my teeth and endured it.

But all the forces in the entire Yangzhou City are waiting, just waiting for the final result of the battle organized by the three major sects.

The people at the bottom who have benefited from it have a firmer support for Maitreya, and many people actively ask to become official members of Maitreya, but Maitreya has a very strict review of this, and it needs to go through many tests, as well as the recommendation of at least three or more people before they can join, and the recommender cannot be a relative of the person being recommended.

Therefore, even after the extermination of the beggar gang, in the past half a year, it is clear that the prestige of the Maitreya Sect has spread, but there are only more than 200 official members.

Although there are few, they are all the most fanatical in thought, the most determined, and the most pure-minded, once they join the church, they must undergo all kinds of transformations from ideology, culture to physique, which is extremely strict.

Each of them scattered to the bottom can bring at least hundreds of people out to support them enthusiastically.

Compared to the Smelling Fragrance Sect and the White Lotus Sect, all kinds of messy things are recruited from the sect, which will not only cause many factions, but also the internal atmosphere will become a miasma, and everyone will seek personal gain.

It's okay to fight a good fight, but once you encounter a headwind, it is likely that you will immediately fall apart, so even if Fan Zhuoyuan does not dominate with personal force, he has never been afraid of these two seemingly huge sects, both of which are paper tigers.

However, all of the above is very costly, and Maitreya is not like the other two major sects, which will forcibly collect teaching fees from the bottom of the believers.

It seems that it is impossible to sustain this economic consumption for a long time, but it is precisely because of the large amount of manpower at hand, and the effective use of this manpower can generate sufficient economic benefits.

Today, three wineries have been built in the suburbs, all of which are in production.

The three wineries produce three grades of fine wine, and the recipes are all obtained by Fan Zhuoyuan from the palace in his previous life, from ordinary white wine, to red wine, to rice wine and even beer.

Due to the excellent quality of the liquor, coupled with the huge number of folk communication channels, the advertisement should not be played, and it was quickly broadcast far away as soon as it was listed, and soon occupied the market of Yangzhou City and was widely sold in major restaurants.

With the Grand Canal and the Yangtze River, the rapid marketing to the east, west, north and south of the country quickly ran out of production capacity

, and a lot of manpower is needed to assist in production and expand the scale of the winery.

And manpower has never been lacking in Maitreya......

In addition to fine wine, he also opened a glass mirror workshop in Yangzhou City, opened a weaving workshop, and even bought a boat to start the river transportation trade.

In the future, when the power expands to Jinling, it will inevitably have to do shipping, and that kind of income will be Jinshan Yinhai.

With a small cost investment in the people at the bottom, Maitreya will earn more benefits from other aspects, which is the long-term way.

It also made the core backbone of the sect admire Fan Zhuoyuan's various measures, if it was said that he forcibly occupied the position of sect leader by force at the beginning, there were still people below who were not convinced.

But at this moment, everyone is already convinced, even Liang Tianyi and Elder Pan are willing to concentrate on it.

Since the conference, Cheng Shiyao has not returned to Suzhou.

It's just that her adoptive parents, Cai Bo and Aunt Cai, are unwilling to leave, and they still stay in the church and are busy all day.

Although Cheng Shiyao does not walk the rivers and lakes, she has contact with people from all walks of life in Suzhou, and her vision is actually very broad.

She knows very well that the Maitreya Sect is now exterminating the beggar gang and subduing the Liangjiang Dart Bureau, and the momentum is like a rainbow, just like flowers cooking oil in a brocade fire, but the crisis is hidden in the shadows, except for the two major sects, all major local forces are eyeing each other.

Even the subdued Liangjiang Dart Bureau also made frequent small moves, and there must be a bloody battle in Yangzhou City.

Cheng Shiyao was worried about the safety of her adoptive parents, so she simply stayed for the time being, and if she waited for the crisis to come, she would be forced to leave with the second elder.

However, her life in Yangzhou City for more than half a year has changed her mind a lot, and she realized that the sect, especially the Maitreya Sect, may not be a cult organization that deceives fools and foolish women, and it is also conducive to the benefit of the people of the world.

In the past, when she was in Suzhou City, Cheng Shiyao used to play music with people in teahouses and restaurants, and most of the people who could go to such places were middle-class or above.

In Yangzhou, it is a more dynamic city than Suzhou.

The rich in the city are extremely rich, so extravagant that they often carry ten taels of gold dust, and sit by the river to throw it in the wind, just to see the dreamlike beauty of the gold dust being blown away under the hot sun.

The poor are extremely poor, so poor that they live in docks, workshops and other places, work all day long, and still have no food three a day, and selling their children and daughters is just like waiting for leisure. It's like straw in the ground, when a wind comes, it will fall, and even if there is no wind, it may fall down itself.

As early as before the Maitreya cult broke out, she had seen a lot of such situations.

Now, since the Maitreya sect exterminated the beggar gang and arranged various strategies, in more than half a year, she has seen with her own eyes that the situation at the bottom of Yangzhou City has changed greatly.

The poor people are still poor, but they no longer have to sell their children and daughters to make a living, and they can still keep three meals after working all day long.

The wharf gang and the major trading houses, because of the deterrence of Maitreya, did not dare to treat the coolies too harshly in terms of wages, so that the hard-working people would eventually have surplus money.

Cheng Shiyao, who often plays the piano and performs at the bottom, almost watches the lives of the people at the bottom change from lifeless to vibrant.

She knew that this was all changed by Fan Zhuoyuan's various measures since he became the sect leader, and she was very curious about how Fan Zhuoyuan did this, and how he turned a cult into an existence that benefited the country and the people.

She wanted to continue to observe what the fate of these people turned out to become.
