Chapter 421: In the Eyes of Outsiders
Dingjun Mountain, originally a barren mountain, since the end of last year, here began to build a lot of construction, the original road leading to Dingjun Mountain was widened again, the sixteen peaks of Dingjun Mountain each have paved a solid bluestone slab steps, the sixteen peaks have their own buildings are built, especially now named the main peak of Zhengyi Peak, the construction of a building complex that is more magnificent than the Shijun Mansion in the city of Hanzhong not far away, from a distance to see that the sixteen peaks of Dingjun Mountain are lined with buildings, there is a different atmosphere.
Dingjun Mountain is engaged in such a large-scale construction, and there are naturally many people involved, so there are many small shops along the road, although they are all built with some grass huts, and only sell some simple food, but the business is also good.
In a simple tea shed at the foot of Dingjun Mountain, an old man with a majestic face looked at the crowd of people who were transporting materials to and from Dingjun Mountain not far away, and said lightly: "I still don't believe it when I hear the report, now it seems that this Zhang Lu is really going to reform the Wudou Rice Sect, but he has this money, so he doesn't take it to strengthen the army, but instead of building such a grand project here, it will inevitably be a bit of a waste of labor and money, isn't he Zhang Lu afraid of arousing public resentment?"
"The Wudou Rice Sect has developed for decades and accumulated huge wealth, but this time Zhang Lu only used the accumulation of the Five Dou Rice Sect for many years, and did not mention the taxes under his rule. The middle-aged man said.
The old man sighed: "Xu Feng is exposed, the collection of the Guizhen Pavilion of the Five Dou Mi Sect is no longer safe, and it is reasonable for Zhang Lu to transfer and use these properties, but the money is available, but for such a big project, there will be no shortage of people, and it will always cause public resentment." ”
The middle-aged man smiled: "Hehe." If Zhang Lu arouses public resentment, wouldn't it be a good thing for my Shushan faction?"
The old man took the wine in front of him and drank it, and then said a little helplessly: "It's a good thing for my Shushan faction, but it hurts the people of Hanzhong." ”
The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "The person I admire the most in the door is Senior Brother." And this is what I admire most about you, senior brother. ”
The old man smiled bitterly and said, "Although I have this heart, I can't do anything, what is the use except to add trouble to myself?"
The middle-aged man said: "I didn't say this because my senior brother was in person, what I said was the truth."
The middle-aged man smiled and said: "Hehe, senior brother, rest assured, in fact, the people of Shuzhong have not suffered because of the construction here."
Most of the people in Hanzhong are followers of the Wudoumi Sect, and it is easy to requisition. And there will be no complaints, but Zhang Lu is more clever this time, and he doesn't even use a few local sects, most of them use outsiders to work.
Because of the war. In recent years, a large number of displaced people have poured into Hanzhong, and most of these displaced people are young and strong, and if they are left alone, it is easy to get into trouble, but most of them are good at recruiting to work here. Zhang Lu only needs to feed these people.
It is said that Zhang Lu listened to Ma Fan's advice, set a lot of rules and regulations for these people, and carried out simple training in the process of working on weekdays, and sent people to preach the doctrine in the evening.
Wait until the inner door of the Five Doumi Sect is almost covered. Almost all of these people were able to become members of the Five Doumi Sect. And after simple training, know to be disciplined. Know how to cooperate, and when the time comes, you can directly build a team. With a little training, you are a good soldier.
As for the few remaining who are not eligible to join the army, because the number has been greatly reduced, it is much easier to settle down.
In this way, it can be regarded as an increase in soldiers and horses, and the soldiers have been trained unconsciously, and the problem of displaced people has been solved, but it is a multi-pronged victory. ”
The old man said: "I didn't fly all the way, on the way I found that the people of Hanzhong are still living and working in peace and contentment, not to mention the ability of this Zhang Lu's internal affairs is first-class, and he is much better than that Liu Zhang for the people." ”...,
"Alas, it's a pity that the brothers in power in the door don't see it that way. The middle-aged man sighed.
"Hehe, junior brother, you seem to have a good impression of this Zhang Lu?" the old man asked.
The middle-aged man smiled: "Senior brother is not the same!"
The old man said with a smile: "It's not that the rest of the senior brothers can't see these clearly, but it is precisely because they see it clearly that they dare not let Zhang Lu become bigger." ”
The middle-aged man said: "Count it up, Zhang Daoling can also be regarded as having the grace of my Shushan faction to relieve the siege, isn't it the revenge of my Shushan faction's descendants who deal with him like this?"
The old man sighed: "Where the favor comes from, where the hatred comes from, it's nothing more than a conflict of interests!"
The world is so big, there are so many resources, if you get it, I won't have it. Back then, my Shushan faction was greatly damaged by those demons and demons, and even the continuation of the Dao system became a problem, the Wudoumi Sect was just founded, and the two sects alone could not eat such a large territory in Shuzhong, and the resources in Shuzhong were enough for the two factions, so the two factions could naturally live in harmony and work together.
In order to look good on the surface, my Wudou Mi Sect regards Zhang Daoling and Wudou Mi Sect as benefactors, and Wudou Mi Sect takes my Shushan faction as the elder brother, and anyone who follows my Shushan faction is just icing on the cake.
But you have also seen that now that my Shushan Sect has not only recovered, but also grown greatly, and the Wudou Rice Sect has developed to such a scale, the territory of Shuzhong is still so large, and the resources are not even as good as back then, it is difficult to meet the needs of one sect, how can it accommodate two families?
If one of the two religions could be completely convinced and merged into the other, there would be no disagreement, but is it possible?
Although Zhang Lu is a few points stronger than Liu Zhang, his identity is there, and there is no possibility of relying on the Shushan faction at all, so it is impossible for the Shushan faction to support him.
Moreover, in the eyes of many senior brothers in the door, although Liu Zhang is more incompetent, the more incompetent he is, the more he will rely on my Shushan faction, and the more things my Shushan faction will get, which is a good thing. ”
The middle-aged Taoist sneered: "Although the humane change is a huge opportunity for a sect, but it is also a great risk, the Fulong Court can be wiped out if you are not careful, and the big shili of the sect back then is not in ashes?"
My Shushan faction could have avoided this matter, closed the mountain and waited for the opening of the mountain after the catastrophe, but it was going to drain this flood, well, since I decided to get involved, everyone chose the support of the Ming Lord, and my Shushan faction was good, for the sake of temporary interests, to support Liu Zhang.
When Liu Zhang fails, he will only lose more and not less, and it may even shake the foundation of the sect, and then I will see how those people will face the ancestor?"
The old man said with a smile: "There is a lesson on the destruction of the sect, and naturally there are people who explain the benefits of the three religions of Buddhism from that catastrophe and inspire many people.
As for the master of Fuming, junior brother, I am in the remote place of the southwest, if I go away to support those princes in the Central Plains, how can I fight for the geographical advantage and those sects that have already begun to contact, so I can only choose the support of the princes of Shuzhong, this place of Shu, except for Liu Zhang, Zhang Lu.
Zhang Lu is a member of the Wudoumi Sect, and he is also a high-ranking teacher, so it is impossible directly, so I don't know about the Shushan faction, but I can't. ”
The middle-aged man nodded and said: "It's boring to say this, don't say these useless, I don't know what the senior brother is saying about coming all the way to Hanzhong this time?"
The old man's face suddenly became serious and said, "I'm only here for three things. The first thing is to see for yourself what is going on with the internal governance of the Five Doumi Sect.
After all, only these monks in the Five Doumi Sect are the ones who fight most directly with my Shushan faction, and the matter related to the monks cannot be sloppy at all. ”
The middle-aged man nodded and interjected: "I have always been concerned about this matter, according to the information I have, the Five Dou Mi Sect originally had more than 10,000 monks, but more than 2,300 of them belonged to Fan Changsheng of Qingcheng, and it is no longer the same as this Hanzhong Five Dou Mi Sect." ...,
At the beginning of the year, Kou Qianzhi went north with a large number of people, saying that he was going to establish a new rule and develop and expand the Wudoumi Sect, but now he has obtained the exact news, but he has taken refuge in Cao Cao, and when Cao Cao unified the whole county of Yanzhou, he made a great effort, and now he is deeply trusted by Cao Cao and has taken root in Yanzhou. Among the people Kou Qianzhi took away, there were almost 2,000 monks.
If these two pieces are not counted, there are almost more than 6,000 monks controlled by the Wudoumi Sect in Hanzhong, and all of these people have been classified as internal governance, and then that Ma Fan has continued to streamline the personnel, and if there is evidence that the rest of the shili are mixed in, they will be killed immediately once they are found, and some of them are too old and not high in cultivation, but they have no potential but they are also slowly transferred to the rest of the management of various governance.
According to the information I got a month ago, there are almost 35,600 people left in this so-called internal governance, and the number of internal governance monks is almost close to 4,000 people, plus the trapped camp brought by Ma Fan is all monks.
There must be some people who have been excluded from this internal rule this month, but since the news came out this time, a spy from Zuihou, who was mixed in by my Shushan faction, has also cut off contact with us, and is suspected of being killed, so the specific number is unknown, but it is roughly within four thousand.
As for how many Jindan periods, how many Yuan Infant Periods, and how many Transformation Periods there are in this internal governance, we don't know. However, it has been determined that the Ruan Ji of Na Ma Fan and Taibai Sword Sect must be cultivators of the Transformation Period, and their combat power is higher than that of ordinary Transforming Monks in the early stage of Transformation of Gods.
In addition, the Wudou Mi Sect has built a lot of construction on the sixteen peaks of Dingjun Mountain, and it seems that it is necessary to divide this internal governance into many pieces, and I also walked around in many directions, and I worked hard to probe, and finally found that Ma Fan's jihua.
Since two months ago, after the construction of the eight peaks of the external governance was a little bit more shapely, then Ma Fan divided the thousands of monks in his hands into eight divisions of heaven and earth, Xuanhuang, sun, moon, and flood wilderness, and stationed them on the outermost eight peaks, waiting for further investigation.
Because there are no people in it, and no one in the Wudoumi Sect has been able to enter the inside, and we are not the only ones who can enter the camp inside, and even other shili can't get into people, so even if we contact other shili, we can't get internal information, we only know that the main peak is named Zhengyi Peak, and there is an extremely grand hall built, which is dedicated to Sanqing, and the rest have to wait for the next step to further explore.
