Chapter 172: Taiping Road to Taiping, Zhonghuang Taiyi

Taiping County

This county is one of the newly born ten counties, the actual area is only four counties, only three counties can live directly, one county is now completely in the jungle, mountain state, there are many demons and monsters in it, you have to clean it up slowly, clean it up before you can move in smoothly.

But even the remaining three counties are now largely unoccupied.

The population has already been relocated, and it is not an easy task to cultivate land on Dongning Island at this time.

Even if a large number of Taoists have used the Dao method to help, even if there are already a large number of advanced tools such as steel hoes, sickles, and plowshares, there are no strong men, only the old and weak are left, and it is still very difficult to open up the wasteland.

After hard work, they finally got a little better, and at this time, they were forcibly relocated back, isn't it purely sick?

Jiang Hua naturally wouldn't do this kind of brain-wrenching thing, so he opened a large market near the port in Taiping County, which was essentially a black market.

However, now that it is in Taiping County, the nobles of Chao Country pretend not to see it.

Moreover, since the Taiping Dao people swept through the six northern counties of the Chao Country alone, and since Wang Jujun was sweeping a certain county, the nobles once again realized a problem: the monarch Xi could not guarantee their safety.

When many nobles found out about this, the nobles who didn't want to trade with Yancheng also changed their attitudes.

Now their mentality is: they don't want to make money in the transaction with Yancheng, they just want to spend money to buy peace and peace of mind, you Yancheng don't trouble me next.

With such a mentality, many nobles took boatloads of savages to Taiping County and Taiping Port on large ships, and they knew by hearing the name that this was the place where the Taiping Daoist who swept the six northern counties was governed.

However, although Taiping Port is nominally subordinate to Taiping County, it is actually directly managed by Yancheng, but Taiping County can receive a 1% commission.

Although it may not sound like much, considering that Taiping Port is one of the largest smuggling ports in Chaoguo and Yancheng, this is quite profitable.

When the Taiping Dao people chose this place, they were more or less based on the one percent commission.

In Taiping County, the Taiping Dao people sat quietly on the futon, and the second and third brothers had a heated discussion: "Third brother, have you inspected Taiping Town?" ”

"Of course, you've asked this question six times, second brother!"

"I have visited Taiping Town, more than once, and I also know what Taiping Town means to us."

"Soon, a thousand families will be sent over, and we will settle them in Taiping Town when the time comes."

"There is a tributary of the Chao River in Taiping Town, which has a lot of water and a lot of water, and there is a large plain along both sides of the river. Therefore, Taiping Town has water and plains, and as long as the people live here, they will not worry about eating and drinking. ”

"Moreover, I have repeatedly checked this tributary twice, but all those who have become refined have been planted by me with Taiping talismans, directly collected for their own use, and turned into monsters belonging to us, specially helping us patrol this tributary, and guarding Taiping Port by the way."

"Although these monsters are not very strong, they are somewhat useful in the water. Basically, they are all good at water methods, and I plan to train them when the time comes, teach them some basic water methods, and then work together to irrigate the crops. ”

"With these water demons, it will be much more convenient for us to farm."

"As for the land, in recent times, there have been no major fluctuations in aura, so there are not too many new monsters, the entire Taiping Town within a radius of fifty miles, I have already checked inch by inch of land, and seven new goblins have been found before and after, and they are making bacon, and when a thousand residents come, each family will give them thirty catties of bacon as a meeting gift!"

Speaking of this, the third child looked at the second child and asked directly: "Second brother, don't keep asking me, how is your house prepared?" How's the food being prepared? ”

"After these thousand families came, they were empty-handed and nothing!"

"If you don't get these ready, where will they live? What to eat? Have you prepared all these food, clothing, housing and transportation? ”

Hearing this, the second brother also nodded vigorously: "It's all built, I use the Taoist courtyard technique in the Yancheng periodical, every household is a big mansion with three entrances and three exits, and wells have been built in the front yard and back yard." The whole town is planned as a part of the east of the city, the west of the city, the south of the city, and the north of the city, and the middle is a street with a width of 15 meters. ”

"The east and west of the city are residential areas, each with 500 households, the south of the city is a large school field, and the north of the city is a large school, which is responsible for teaching them the knowledge of reading and writing."

"There is also a stone wall built outside the 1,000 households, and this stone wall is one meter thick and three feet high, which looks very safe."

"As for the grain, I have bought 10,000 stone from Yancheng, and when these thousand families come, each family will be counted according to the number of heads, and one person will be given one stone of grain, and the rest of the grain will be put in the rice shop and sold slowly. In addition, I have already contacted the merchant that there will be 10,000 stone of grain in two days, and I will directly reserve it at that time to meet the occasional need. ”

"In terms of cloth, 50,000 pieces of cloth have also been purchased, and they are also distributed according to the capitation, each person gives two pieces of cloth, and the rest is slowly sold."

"Sea salt is a specialty of Yancheng, all of which are refined salt from white flowers, and they are still distributed according to the head when they come, and each person is given two catties of salt."

"All kinds of food and drink will be distributed, and when we meet for the first time, we will distribute them according to the average amount of one to three months per person."

"It's just that the number of Taoists is not much, our three brothers are in a hurry, and they were still preaching in Qi Country, but when they heard the news, they came over directly, and when the disciples came over, it is estimated that it will take two or three months."

Hearing this, the third child also spread his hands and looked at the eldest brother Taiping Daoren.

The Taiping Daoist stroked his beard and said, "How many of us are there now?" ”

"Now there are only sixteen disciples, all of whom are Taoists."

"Many disciples, disciples and family members, together are estimated to be five or six hundred, but the speed of their actions is very slow, especially family members, don't even think about it for three months."

"Disciples, you have to protect your family, and there are only sixteen people who came here in the early stage."

Sixteen plus three, that's nineteen.

Can nineteen people manage a town of 1,000 households?

Taiping Dao people feel that the problem is not big.

"However, there are still many Taoists in Yancheng, they are very enthusiastic, some have donated food to us, some have donated some small magic weapons for us, and some have left us a famous post, saying that if you have difficulties, you can go to them to discuss, maybe you can help." The third brother said directly.

"Oh?" The Taiping Dao people are very curious about this.

"For example, Qingmei Daoyou, this Taoist friend was born in Meihua Road, Qingmei Taoist people are very admired for our ideals, and said that they would bring some enthusiastic Taoist friends to help today."

"So what are you waiting for? Come with me to greet you. ”

After a while, the Taiping Dao people came to Taiping Port, saw the Qingmei Dao people, saw Jiang Hua, and saw the thousand families behind Jiang Hua.

Jiang Hua introduced to the Taiping Daoist: "Fellow Daoist, these thousand households will be handed over to you in half a month." ”

Most of these people are unclothed, and their bodies are dirty, most of them have been starving for a long time, and there are not a few who are skinny and bone-covered, and there are many who are deformed at a glance.

Looking at the appearance, you can see that most of these people are savages.

In Jiang Hua's view, it is extremely irresponsible to directly hand over these thousands of households to the Taiping Dao people.

What do Taiping Daoists know?

He doesn't understand anything!

Jiang Hua does not doubt the determination of the Taiping Dao people, nor does he doubt the financial resources of the Taiping Dao people, but these thousand households have to raise them for half a month first, and live a normal life of being able to eat for half a month, let the body slow down first, and then go to live a normal life.

Otherwise, if it is really planned according to the plan of the second and third brothers of the Taiping Daoren, it will only make many people eat bad stomachs, eat bad bodies, and even die directly when they are happy and excited......

"Next, these 1,000 families will live collectively in the camp that has been built near the port for half a month, and this half month is mainly to recover slowly, take care of it a little, and then go directly to Taiping Town to live after half a month."

The moment the Taiping Dao people saw these people, they understood Jiang Hua's thoughts: "No problem, these people really have to be taken care of." It just so happened that in the next half month, my brother and I, as well as my disciples, were able to get close to these people, give them hope, and preach to them at the same time. ”

Preach!

In the end, the Taiping Daoists chose religion!

The official can't be trusted!

Therefore, after thinking for a long time, the Taiping Daoists decided to create the Taiping Dao, and then let the people under their rule become the congregation, and use the canons to govern one side.

It sounds very idealistic, not very reliable, but it is still the same sentence, as long as it is not too outrageous, Jiang Hua does not interfere. With the strength of the three brothers of Taiping Daoren, it is easy to cover a thousand-household town.

"Li Sheng once said that small countries and widows ......"

"The whole town is actually not big, and a thousand families can see the old man every day."

"Moreover, most of these people have just left the savage villages, and most of them are going on to live well in the town."

"At this time, people are at ease, and they don't need too many big moves, they only need three simple chapters of the law, and then they don't toss, recuperate, and naturally they can be cured."

"So, I'm going to stop preaching."

"Every day, I would show up all over the town, meet the people more often, and tell them more about the teachings of the Taiping Dao......"

Taiping Daoist once again talked about his own philosophy, Jiang Hua did not comment, but the Qingmei Daoist who came with him took the initiative to come out.

"So, what are the teachings of the Taiping Dao?"

Taiping Daoist looked at Qingmei Daoren, smiled and nodded: "This Dao takes Huang Tian as the supreme god, believes in the Yellow Emperor and Li Sheng, and believes that the world during the Yellow Emperor's period is the Taiping world, which is the real world of Datong, and takes this as the spiritual sustenance of the believers." ”

"The peaceful world in the teachings is a peaceful world without hunger, disaster, sickness, and without cunning, stealing, cheating, plundering and other evils.

"Of course, Zhi Taiping can also be seen as the pursuit of the world of Datong, and the world of peace and the world of Datong are actually different descriptions of the same thing."

"Through the longing and yearning for a peaceful world, through preaching, people are awakened to good thoughts."

"All my sect members take peace as the highest idea."

"No one of my members shall steal or deceive ......"

"In the Taiping Road, I am the general of Tiangong, the second brother is the general of the earth, and the third brother is the general of the human father."

Hearing this, Qingmei Daoren felt a little unreliable, but she couldn't tell what was unreliable.

She only felt that the ideals of the Taiping Dao people were very good, but her intuition told her that they were unreliable!

"And how do you govern it?" Michito Ome then asked.

"Rule by inaction, let the people govern themselves."

"As long as the people can comprehend the teachings of the Taiping Tao and act according to the teachings, then it is not a big problem for the people to govern themselves in hundreds of households."

"How do you govern yourself?" Qingmei Daoren asked.

"First teach the people the doctrine of the Tao of Taiping, and teach them to be good. Every night, I would spend half an hour teaching them the teachings of the Taiping Dao, and those who listened to a lot, could recite the teachings of the Taiping Cabinet and acted in accordance with the teachings, and could pass the test of the mirror of inquiry, officially entered the Tao and became members of the Taiping Dao. ”

"The congregation can learn the written word for free, and they can learn breathing, channeling, and contemplating thoughts for free."

"In the future, these villages will be directly governed by the congregation."

"Every once in a while, the congregation is examined to see if they are walking in the way and behaving in accordance with the canons of the doctrine. Investigate directly with the Mirror of Questioning, or create a large illusion and use powerful illusions to investigate them inadvertently. ”

"Those who do not follow the doctrine in private are dealt with directly according to the canon."

"In the end, we will govern each village with devout believers, and then use canons and doctrines to bind them, so as to govern each town."

"Now it is only a county, and in the future, I plan to create a dozen or twenty small towns according to the specific topography, and these towns are personally managed by my trusted disciples."

"Taiping Dao does not force people to enter the Tao, but they take time to explain the doctrine every night."

"If you are willing to listen, you will be given some daily necessities such as grain, eggs, firewood, rice, oil, and salt."

"Once you enter the Tao and become a full-fledged sect, you have the right to study and practice for free, but at the same time, you must strictly abide by the teachings and act in accordance with the canons. Prohibit all evil things, help ordinary people more, and truly treat everyone equally. Thou shalt not steal or deceive, or mistreat the people, or seek personal gain, or ......."

Looking at the very excited Taiping Dao people, the Qingmei Dao people didn't say anything, as for Jiang Hua, he felt that the Taiping Dao people's set was all based on the Taiping Dao people's extremely high self-cultivation, and all of them were based on the extremely high self-cultivation of the disciples.

Does it work?

How long does it take to go bad?
