The changes in Qingxi County are naturally in Bao Kang's eyes.

First use the opportunity to work in Shanghai, take the opportunity to suck away a large number of laborers from Qingxi County, let them go to Hangzhou and Shanghai to open their eyes, and at the same time work to make money to subsidize the family.

These people will definitely be the first group of wealthy people in Qingxi County, and they have broadened their horizons and seen the world of flowers outside, so they will naturally not blindly worship Manichaeism.

He also took advantage of the opportunity to cure night blindness, and then used sea salt as a bait to attract Manichaeans to eat meat under the pretext of curing diseases or buying salt, and debunk the teachings of Manichaeism.

Of course, Bao Kang's strong suppression of the sect leaders in Dongzhen was also part of this plan, and only by allowing the people of Qingxi County to eat meat freely and believe freely could they break the control of Manichaeism and shake the foundation of Manichaeism.

"Your Excellency, this is a wise strategy! Today's momentum of Manichaeism in Qingxi County has been greatly reduced! Bao Kang rushed back to Hangzhou Mansion and reported the progress of this period to the evil doctor Fan Zheng.

Fan Zheng was not overjoyed, but said solemnly: "The doctor is studying the art of the mind, and he knows the horror of religion's control over people's hearts, and the Manichaean believers who buy salted fish for cheapness, eat fish and meat to cure night blindness, and are willing to go out to work for the sake of their families are not believers. A true believer would never wake up so easily. ”

Bao Kang's eyes were solemn when he heard this, he was in Qingxi County for several months, and he naturally knew the horror and secrecy of Manichaeism, even if salted fish was already very cheap, but there were still a considerable number of believers who believed in Mani by eating food every day.

"My lord, those Manichaean fanatics are so stubborn, or the government will order them to be arrested." Bao Kang's face turned grim.

Fan Zheng shook his head and said: "People just believe in Mani, if they are forcibly arrested, it will only arouse the disgust of the people of Qingxi, and the next step is to make a complete break between Manichaeism and the people of Qingxi and cut off their back road!" ”

"Please give me orders!" Bao Kang was already in awe of the evil doctor Fan Zheng at this moment, and he admired it at the moment.

Fan Zheng got up and said: "Those Manichaeans eat fish and meat and cure night blindness as an excuse, now that the night blindness in Qingxi County has been cured, it will arouse the suspicion of Manichaeans if they continue to provide cheap salted fish." This official decided to raise pigs in Qingxi County! ”

"Pig farming?" Bao Kang couldn't help but be shocked.

He has been in Qingxi County for a while, and naturally has a deep understanding of the teachings of Manichaeism, which came from the Western Regions, where religions have one of the biggest characteristics, that is, they are taboo on pork and dog meat, while Manichaeism is even more strict, and is even unwilling to let believers eat meat, so they can only eat vegetarian.

"Yes, it is to raise pigs, if you want to suppress Manichaeism all the time, then you must provide a cheap source of meat in Qingxi County, salted fish is only one of them, and pork is the big killer, on the one hand, pork is the highest meat with the highest meat yield, and on the other hand, pork is a taboo in Manichaeism." Fan Zheng said coldly.

"However, Manichaeism is quite influential in Qingxi County, and if the transfer envoy forcibly raises pigs in Qingxi County, I am afraid that it will be greatly hindered." Bao Kang frowned.

Fan Zheng sneered: "Unhindered, this official is not going to implement it in Qingxi County, but this official is not going to build a pig farm in Qingxi County, but to change the model, to let the people of Qingxi County raise pigs, in this way, it will definitely arouse the contradictions between the people of Qingxi County and the followers of Manichaeism, and completely make Manichaeism lose the hearts of the people." ”

"Let the people of Qingxi County raise pigs, I'm afraid it won't be so smooth!" Bao Kang was a little embarrassed.

Fan Zheng said solemnly: "Now that the autumn harvest is imminent, the rice in Zhancheng is about to mature, and the people of Qingxi County who work in Shanghai have also returned with their wages, this is the time when the prestige of the government in Qingxi County is the highest, and now His Royal Highness King Shen's pig farm has begun to take shape in Liangzhejiang Road, and the second step plan can indeed be implemented." ”

At that moment, Fan Zheng stretched out his hand and made a move, and Bao Kang listened attentively.

When he learned the details of the second step plan, Bao Kang's eyes lit up.

"The transshipment makes the lord wise!" Bao Kang admired.

"Go for it! Once the second plan is implemented, Qingxi County will definitely be unstable, you have to pay more attention! Fan Zheng commanded.

"Don't worry, sir! There will definitely be no turmoil in Qingxi County! Bao Kang solemnly promised.

……………………

When Bao Kang returned from Hangzhou, he was accompanied by a large number of young people from Qingxi County.

"Master Bao!"

A group of young people said respectfully.

When they left Qingxi County, it was the government that sent someone to lead the team, and when they returned, they also got their wages as promised, although they only worked in Shanghai for a few months, but this was not how much they earned in Qingxi County in a year.

Everyone looked at Bao Kang again with a little more respect, on the one hand, Bao Kang was the queen of Bao Zheng and Bao Qingtian, and on the other hand, the government really kept its word.

"When you return home, you can buy some chicken seedlings, duck seedlings, piglets, etc., to subsidize the family, and within a few years, you will definitely be able to get rid of poverty and become rich!" Bao Kang encouraged one by one, and at the same time quietly hinted at a group of young and strong poultry breeders.

"We will follow the teachings of our lords!" A group of young people said gratefully, after all, everyone knows that Bao Kang's words are sincere,

Bao Kang continued: "Although there are many mountains and forests in my Qingxi County, it is also a place south of the Yangtze River, and there are many streams in the county, which are suitable for breeding chickens, ducks and geese. ”

"And you all know that Fan Zhuan can have a relationship with His Royal Highness King Shen, and the evil recipe for the prince who eats meat to cure night blindness and raises pigs is from His Royal Highness King Shen. Now His Royal Highness King Shen has opened a pig farm on Liangzhejiang Road, so as to transfer the friendship between the Lord and His Royal Highness King Shen, and naturally give priority to Qingxi County. ”

"His Royal Highness King Shen is raising pigs in Qingxi County?"

The young men looked at each other, not understanding what Bao Kang meant.

Bao Kang explained: "Since His Royal Highness King Shen's pig farm has not yet been built, there are a large number of piglets that are being processed at a special price, so you can buy them at a low price and raise them for free, or receive them for free, raise them at home in the future, and then pay the piglets after selling them!" ”

"And such a good thing?"

A group of young people are excited, they are working in Shanghai City, but they do not eat less pork, naturally remember its delicious taste, and now His Royal Highness King Shen is dealing with piglets, just can buy one, slaughter in the New Year, isn't it beautiful, even if there is no money, you can get it for free, and then pay after selling it, although the price is higher, but this is almost a business.

At that moment, the hearts of the young people were excited, and they found that since the evil doctor Fan Zhengzhi was in charge of Qingxi County, it seemed that more and more good things had come to them.

When the young people returned home, almost everyone came home with one or two little piglets in their arms, and they came home with excitement.

"Piglet!"

The miserable woman saw the piglets in her husband's hands when she returned, carefully counted the remaining wages, and then looked at the Champa rice that was about to be harvested at home, and the happiness in her heart was overflowing, and her miserable face was happy for the first time, such a good day was something they had never dared to imagine.

However, some people laugh and some people are sad!

"Pigs, you are raising these unclean things!" A group of Manichaean believers could not help but be furious when they saw the pigsty all over the towns of Qingxi County.

In the teachings of Manichaeism, it was originally stipulated that meat should not be eaten, especially pigs and dogs that eat feces, and once believers are found to eat pork and dog meat, it is a felony!

And now, with the help of His Royal Highness King Shen, Qingxi County is raising pigs everywhere, which is simply a miasma in the eyes of Manichaean fanatics.

"Who is it, who poisoned my piglet!"

When they woke up early in the morning, the women whose faces had just been happy were heartbroken, and the two piglets they had just bought were all poisoned and poisoned.

This made their newly improved family even worse, and the dark-faced man was also full of anger, these piglets were one to spend money, the other was to adopt first, and then pay after they were raised.

Now that he has been poisoned, he can be said to have lost all his money.

"This piglet is really beautiful, it has already cut its tail, and the gelding has passed, as long as you are willing to use materials, it can rise to 100 catties in the New Year, and you can kill it." One villager lamented.

In the countryside, especially in poor villages, pigs, cattle and horses are considered large livestock, and the value of two piglets is not a small amount.

The woman was not angry at all, and immediately did not hesitate to travel a long distance to the county government to report to the official.

Bao Kang was immediately promoted to the court and personally went to the village to try the case, but found that this person was extremely secretive and did not find any clues.

"My lord, the poisoner can use arsenic!"

A man cut open the piglet's belly and frowned.

Bao Kang nodded, looked at the couple and asked, "Have you ever had a grudge with someone in your spare time?" ”

"No!" The woman shook her head with a sad face.

The other villagers also nodded, the couple was usually very honest and had never had a grudge against anyone.

"Then you have the object of suspicion!" Bao Kang asked again.

The miserable woman's face changed, and she opened her mouth to say something, but was stopped by her husband on the side.

The swarthy man hurriedly changed his words: "We have no suspicions, since the pig is dead, we consider ourselves unlucky!" Don't bother adults. ”

Bao Kang stared at the swarthy man, raised his head and turned his eyes to look at the surrounding villagers, only to see that the surrounding villagers also looked at each other, they obviously had guesses, but they didn't dare to say it.

Seeing this, Bao Kang couldn't help but shake his head and said: "Since there are no clues and no suspects, then the official has no choice, but he has not found the person who poisoned him, and you should be more careful with the poultry in the future." ”

The faces of the villagers couldn't help but change.

As Bao Kang said, since the people who poison can poison the piglets, their poultry may not escape the poison.

Bao Kang left the village, and the head catcher on the side stepped forward and said: "Master Bao, those villagers are flickering in their words, obviously they know some inside information, why don't you continue to investigate, maybe you can find out the real culprit!" ”

Bao Kang shook his head and said: "The poisoning case is difficult to investigate, and the bitter master is unwilling to investigate, and the people don't sue the officials and don't hold them accountable, so why should we cause more trouble, if this person doesn't poison in the future, the matter will pass, if this person continues to poison, the official's words have already awakened the villagers, and they will show their original form in the future." ”

"Your Excellency is wise!" Catch your head and bow your head.

Bao Kang smiled in his heart, this poisoning was aimed at piglets, how could he not guess that it was Manichaeism, but in just one case, if he was angry, he would definitely startle the snake.

This time, he deliberately let him go, and the Manichaeans will definitely intensify their efforts, and they will definitely target the piglets again in the future, which will inevitably provoke the contradiction between Manichaeism and the villagers, and make Manichaeism completely lose the hearts of the people.

After Bao Kang left, the miserable woman immediately scolded the swarthy man.

"People are bullied to the head, and they don't even dare to fight back, the county lord has said, we believe in religion freely, we can believe if we want, and if we don't want to believe it, don't they don't eat pork, this time I just ate it, and they forced me to eat it." The miserable woman scolded angrily.

At that moment, the internal organs of the two dead piglets were discarded, skinned and eaten.

An emaciated figure among the villagers swallowed as he watched the miserable woman and swarthy man eating meat, his eyes full of jealousy and hatred.

Subsequently, there were more and more poisoning cases in many towns and villages, among which piglets were the most attacked, and even chickens, ducks and geese, and even cattle, horses and sheep were also poisoned.

All of a sudden, the entire Qingxi County was full of rumors.

"The Lord caught the poisoner, a Manichaean fanatic, and when he was about to go to his village to poison him, he was captured by the villagers and personally found the poison from him."

Suddenly, a news reached the county government of Qingxi County!

"Good! Sure enough, as the official expected, the official will openly try the case, and he will definitely let him be punished! Bao Kang was overjoyed when he heard this.

In the hall of the county government, Bao Kang was sitting precariously, glaring at the Manichaean believers below.

"Bold fanatics, it is not suitable for the people to raise pigs, you wantonly poisoned and made the villagers lose all their money, what crime should you be guilty of!" Bao Kang scolded angrily.

"Your Excellency, you have to call the shots for me!"

When the bitter lords heard the news, they gritted their teeth one by one, and their finally prosperous life was ruined by Manichaeism.

But the Manichaean fanatics were not afraid to say: "Pigs and dogs are animals that eat, but they are unclean animals, and you believe in Mani before, and you even dare to raise pigs without saying anything, and I poison them to do the way for Mani, and I will ascend to the Western Heaven in the future." ”

Some of the sufferers immediately cried out in hatred: "What about us, we don't believe in Mani, why do we still poison us." ”

"Our chickens, ducks and geese!"

"My cattle and sheep!"

Many bitter masters denounced.

The fanatical believer smiled coldly and said, "True believers need to be vegetarians, and only by taking refuge in Mani can they be reborn in the next life." ”

"Nonsense!" Bao Kang said angrily: "We are the people of the Great Song Dynasty, believe in Buddhism and immortals, how can we believe in Mani and other foreign heresies, vegetarianism is against physiology, blinding people's eyes, Manichaeism preaches the heresy of eating vegetables, and poisons the villagers How can the officials tolerate it, come to someone, take this person into custody immediately, the entire Qingxi County immediately destroy the Demon Temple, prohibit the spread of Manichaeism, and return my Qingxi County to Lang Lang Qiankun." ”

"Your Excellency is wise!"

A group of bitter masters shouted one after another, and other people who had livestock or liked to eat meat at home also breathed a sigh of relief, after all, no one wanted their poultry to be poisoned, besides, now that the people of Qingxi County are getting richer, once the meat is opened, who is willing to eat vegetarian every day.
