Factory owner is king

Chapter 50
With the power structure of the White Lotus Sect, the leader is supreme, the next is the left and right protectors, the prime minister of Jianghu affairs, and the lotus messenger is in charge of the internal affairs of the church, and there are four Tianwei Venerables who are in charge of rewards and punishments, as well as heaven, earth, people, gods and ghosts. The generals of the Five Routes commanded the congregation from all directions and took charge of the conquest.Although these power holders have different positions, they generally do not belong to each other because of their different functions.In addition to this, there are five elders who walk the rivers and lakes on behalf of the White Lotus Sect.Their status is detached, they can control everything, or they can ignore everything, and their will represents the belief of the White Lotus Sect.

The hall of the Wuming Village on Matou Mountain has been cleaned up, and the door is closed. Although the moonlight outside the house cannot come in, the hall is brightly lit.

On the top chair, the Buddhist mother Tang Sai'er sat quietly, behind her stood her personal guards A Da and A Er, not far in front of them, five chairs were lined up in a row of two or three.On the seat at the front sit the left and right protectors of the White Lotus Sect: Sikong Xuan and Wusheng.On the three chairs at the back, there are two men and one woman sitting respectively.They are the three lotus messengers of the White Lotus Sect: "White Lotus Messenger" Song Yi, "Green Leaf Messenger" Shi Zhen, and "Golden Lotus Messenger" Zhao Niangzi.

"The lifeless old mother descended from the mortal world, shed light on all living beings for eternity," Tang Sai'er sang loudly, making a lotus flower seal with her hand, and placed it on her chest, with a solemn expression.

"Born to nourish thousands of years, not to fall into the reincarnation of the Buddha's heart" all the people in front of him, including Ah Da Ah Er behind him, sang closely, and at the same time they tied a vase and placed it in front of their foreheads.

Tang Saier opened his hands, and there were countless gold and silver powders in his palms, which were fluttering and meeting in mid-air. Everyone seemed to vaguely see a picture of the birth of an inanimate old mother.

After a while, the dust dispersed, and there seemed to be a strange fragrance in the hall.

"Great monk!" Bailian envoy Song Yi said first, "Where did you choose..."

Wusheng was the only monk here, and Song Yi's words were obviously addressed to him.

"Why, the benefactor is not satisfied?" Wu Sheng stood with his right hand in front of his chest, looking at Song Yi respectfully.

As an envoy of White Lotus, Song Yi was the first to join the religion and was a member of the older generation.Now that he is over 60 years old, he speaks with great weight.

"Monk, I have tried my best..." Wusheng argued, "It must be in the Xuzhou Mansion, and it must be remote, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and finally there must be a deep cave. With so many conditions, I can find this The place is no longer easy.”

"Forget it, life is not easy, so don't be picky." Beside Song Yi, the envoy of golden lotus root, Mrs. Zhao, also comforted her with a charming voice.

"Hum..." Song Yi snorted coldly, but didn't speak.

"Let's get down to business, what time is it?" Tang Sai'er said with a clear and moving voice.

"It should be almost midnight," Ah Da said in a low voice.

"Mr. Xie should be here soon, right?" Tang Sai'er looked at the door.

"It's already here" the door opened, and an imposing old man in a sky blue soft smoked suit with a black tiger-striped sash tied around his waist walked in with his head held high, cupped his hands and said, "See Buddha Mother, of the Come back with the golden scorpion."

Through the gate, one can see that there are about 2000 people gathered on the square of the cottage. They are dressed in simple clothes and have swords around their waists.

Tang Sai'er nodded in satisfaction, "Thank you, Mr. Xie."

Sikong Xuan also stood up and looked around, "The subordinates have contacted Fengyunzhuang in Qiandeng Town near Nanjing a few days ago, and they agreed to help me teach when necessary."

"Hehe" Old Xie sneered, and looked at Sikong Xuan sarcastically.

"What?" Sikong Xuan was a little confused.

"It seems that you don't know yet." Mr. Xie shook his head, "Fengyun Village is gone."

"?!" Sikong Xuan frowned, "What do you mean?"

"That's what it means," Mr. Xie said arrogantly, "The fact that Fang Tianyou was pregnant with the white bone claw was leaked, and he was flattened. Do you want to explain it in more detail?"

Sikongxuan was silent for a moment, then knelt on the ground facing Tang Sai'er, "This subordinate is not good at work, please forgive the Buddha's mother."

Elder Xie looked at him, "That kind of little person, just give him some money, he can't hide his magical skills."

Although Sikong Xuan and Elder Xie had a mediocre relationship, there was no need to make fun of him with such things that could be known at the first glance.

"Forget it, forget it." Tang Sai'er waved his hand, "Anyway, it was just an idle move, of course it would be better, and it doesn't matter if it doesn't."

While speaking, Tang Sai'er looked at the green leaf envoy Shi Zhen again.

"Buddha Mother" Shi Zhen stood up, "The Nine Dragon Pillar is under construction, and it will be completed as scheduled. Please rest assured, Buddha Mother."

"En" Tang Sai'er nodded.

"Buddha Mother" Xie Lao took a step forward, "Should we meet them now?"

"Wait a little longer." Tang Sai'er waved his hand, "Talk about the process of this trip to the southeast first."

"Yes"

Elder Xie thought for a moment and said, "Since the emperor banned the sea, life has been difficult for the people along the southeast coast. Especially in Suzhou, which is heavily taxed, there is a lot of resentment against the imperial court."

"Now they are still submitting to the imperial court on the surface, but they are secretly colluding with Fang Guozhen, the Dragon King of the Sea. They give Fang Guozhen supplies, and Fang Guozhen helps them smuggle goods. If there is no such relationship, it is estimated that Suzhou will be hollowed out by Zhu Yuanzhang gone."

Speaking of Fang Guozhen, one has to mention Zhang Shicheng back then.Zhang Shicheng, as a force competing in the world, started in the southeast, and his headquarters is in Suzhou.Although he lost the war in the end, he was very kind to the people in the southeast, especially the people in Suzhou, and the people in Suzhou were also grateful to him.When Zhu Yuanzhang was trapped in Suzhou, Zhang Shicheng insisted on leading the people of Suzhou to hold on for nine months when he ran out of ammunition and food, which caused great losses to Zhu Yuanzhang's army.It is also because of this that after Zhu Yuanzhang established Daming, he treated the people of Suzhou very badly, and the local tax burden was heavy.

Fang Guozhen was Zhang Shicheng's subordinate back then. He escaped a great battle at that time, and then led the remaining forces to sea, relying on several isolated islands in the sea to continue to fight against Zhu Yuanzhang's Ming Dynasty.

After all, the army of the Ming Dynasty was not good at naval warfare, especially Fang Guozhen was supported by the local people along the coast, so Zhu Yuanzhang had no way to deal with him.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang is not a person who admits defeat. The last decision he came up with was to ban the sea.If you don't go into the sea with a piece of board, you will be trapped to death.Although pirates have been floating at sea for a long time, they still have to go ashore for supplies.

At the beginning, Zhu Yuanzhang's ban on the sea did cause Fang Guozhen a lot of trouble. The morale of his troops was shaken and they almost disbanded.But, people are forced out.For some reason, Fang Guozhen set his sights on another place that could provide him with supplies—Japan.
