Xu Zhengping ignored the frightened beggars who were paralyzed on the ground with feces and urine flowing everywhere. Instead, he came to the child and gently stroked his head, which was as messy and dirty as a chicken coop.

"Good boy, what's your name?"

"My name is Su Wubing!"

"No disease, no disease, these are the names of famous generals in ancient times. What a good name. Do you believe in Buddhism?"

The child clenched his fists and said, "No! I hate Buddha! I hate those bald donkeys!"

Xu Zhengping smiled and said: "But I believe in Buddhism and am the most devout believer of Buddha. Are you willing to follow me and believe in Buddhism together in the future?"

Su Wubing looked at Xu Zhengping, with a slight struggle on his face, and then said: "From now on, I will believe in whatever Buddha the hero believes in!"

As he spoke, he knelt down and kowtowed to Xu Zhengping nine times in a row until blood came out of his forehead.

Xu Zhengping then helped him up and said: "Then I will teach you the most basic principles of believing in Buddhism. Buddha is me, I am also Buddha, Buddha is demon, and demon is also Buddha!"

As he spoke, he waved his hand back, and a surge of energy surged out. Half of the beggars kneeling in front of the Guanyin statue had their heads exploded and died on the spot.

At this time, the sound of horse hooves was heard outside the temple.

The dozens of wealthy people on horseback stopped more than ten steps outside the temple, then hurriedly dismounted and ran over.

Many children in the temple were so frightened that they hugged together when they saw a group of people carrying knives and swords and wearing fancy clothes.

Only Su Wubing clenched his fists and said, "Are these people the helpers of the beggars?"

Xu Zhengping shook his head, "No, they are my subordinates."

The dozen or so people who entered the temple did not even look at the corpses on the ground or the beggars who were still alive. They all knelt down on one knee and bowed down: "Greetings!"

Xu Zhengping calmly ordered: "Ask clearly from the mouths of these hustlers, where are the beggar gangs in the places under our control? Don't be afraid of killing people. The more you kill, the better. Killing them all is the cleanest thing."

"Subordinates obey orders!"

"In addition, these children should be adopted and treated according to the treatment of orphans of martyrs in the gang."

"Got the order!"

Finally, he led Su Wubing out of the ruined temple. Looking back at the Guanyin statue inside, he frowned.

Asked: "Wu Bian, how long have you lived in this ruined temple?"

"Two years."

"Oh, many children died in two years?"

"Um."

Xu Zhengping was silent for a moment and gave another order.

"After you took the people away, you demolished this ruined temple."

The subordinate seemed to be very aware of Xu Zhengping's beliefs and asked, "Executive member, where is this Guanyin statue?"

"If you smash it, ashes will return to ashes, and dust will return to dust."

The subordinates were very surprised, and Su Wubing was also very surprised. Why would a man who believed in Buddhism smash the Bodhisattva statue?

Xu Zhengping did not explain, and took his children on horseback all the way to the Southern Shaolin ruins.

The reason why it is called a ruins is because I acted violently and launched an act of revenge. After looting everything, I set fire to it.

Since the terrain here is excellent and it is the only high point on the ground nearby, if a fortress is built, it can radiate to the surrounding areas and show its influence.

Therefore, Zhang Wenqing built a simple village here so that the brothers who gathered power from the Nanshan Gang could live together and protect each other.

Zhang Wenqing came to see Xu Zhengping outside the village in person, bringing with him a group of Nanshan Gang backbones.

"Exceptor! This is..." He glanced at the child beside Xu Zhengping, Su Wubing.

Xu Zhengping said: "The disciples I have accepted will be followed by a group of orphans. If you send people to take care of and teach them, they will become the most loyal backbone of our Nanshan Gang in the future."

Zhang Wenqing obeyed the order solemnly and did not ask about the cause and effect.

"No disease, you go in with this aunt to take a bath, change clothes, and have a good rest."

Su Wubing nodded and followed a woman to the inside of the village, turning back to look at Xu Zhengping every step of the way.

Xu Zhengping said to Zhang Wenqing: "Since this area belongs to us, all the rules should be according to the rules of our Nanshan Gang, you understand."

“Subordinates never dare to discount the treatment outside the executive branch!

However, after investigation during this period, we found that the people here were living a very miserable life.

Those bald donkeys in Southern Shaolin are all bastards who eat people without spitting out their bones!

I have never seen such exploitation of the common people, with all the taxes and corvees from the imperial court falling on the common people.

In addition, the land rent and taxes are quite heavy, and there are also extortion in the name of money for raising Buddhas, blessings in the next life, retribution of bliss, merit money, etc.

The people in one household had basically no food surplus all year round, and their lives were extremely miserable.

People in other places can't live anymore. The worst they can do is go to sea and become pirates to make money with their lives. Although they can't escape death, they can always have enough to eat before they die!

However, the martial arts of Southern Shaolin and others are strong enough to fight against the Japanese pirates along the coast. Although they have made great achievements, they have also cut off the only way out for the people who can no longer live under them.

People who dared to flee into the sea would be treated as surrendering to Japan after being caught.

The monks were very noble and did not want to be stained with blood, so they all were sent to the government. The government colluded with local big families, including these monks, and they were all killed for the crime of collaborating with the Japanese."

Xu Zhengping already knew something about these things, but he still asked.

"Since we are tenants and our owners are not good enough, why can't we change them?"

"Haha, there used to be several big families around here, either officials in the imperial court or local tycoons, who all joined forces with Southern Shaolin to attack and defend the alliance.

Everyone has the same rules. Even if the people escape, can they escape for hundreds of miles? In the end, they can only choose among the bosses around here.

And after they colluded, they refused to accept any fugitives! This means that people who dare to betray their employers and run away will have no choice but to starve to death unless they can find a livelihood in the city."

Fu Xiaowu was also born as a tenant farmer and said bitterly: "When I was a child, my family farmed land for landlords, but in the Jiangnan water towns, there are many small and medium-sized landlords. If one family cannot succeed, they can always find a second family.

Like here, a large area of ​​fertile land is monopolized by a few companies. These few companies can negotiate the rules as long as they get together for a meal during the holidays, which is extremely bad for the people!"

Xu Zhengping asked: "Didn't Ren Woxing come over later?"

"Exceptors, don't expect anything from that devil. He captured Shaolin and killed several powerful men around him. However, the rules are still the same. It's just that there is a lack of manpower. It's not like Shaolin that prohibits people from escaping to the sea.

Therefore, since Renwoxing occupied this place, many people have joined the sea and become pirates, making the Japanese invasion of Quanzhou even more serious."

Zhang Wenqing said: "The members want to change the situation here, and my subordinates also have the same idea.

However, although the local Southern Shaolin is not here, there are still some wealthy families in the surrounding area. If we change the rules, I am afraid that many tenants under their names will come to join us.

There may be big troubles by then.”

Xu Zhengping said: "Since we are here, we have to set the rules. If they think we don't follow the rules, we should teach them what the new rules are."

Both Zhang Wenqing and Fu Xiaowu are familiar with Xu Zhengping's style, which is not surprising.

Zhang Wenqing added: "We want to change the situation. At least within a year, we can't expect much profit from these 10,000 acres of fertile land. We have to invest a lot of it ourselves. After all, we have to feed so many people, buy seeds, build manors, etc.

wait."

"What's the approximate budget?"

"Basically all our annual output will be lost, plus the losses from Yuhang, we all will have to tighten our belts and live a hard life for a year or two."

Xu Zhengping said seriously: "I will find a way to solve the money problem, but I must not spit out what I eat."

Zhang Wenqing and others looked stern. Now that they had received Xu Zhengping's statement, all they had to do next was to throw off their arms and work hard.

Yue Buqun, who had been listening, stood up and said meaningfully: "If you let me die, the people in Southern Shaolin may not let us do this. They will definitely come back to regain the property."

Xu Zhengping smiled and said: "That is a matter of Jianghu, and it will naturally be solved by Jianghu means. We are the underworld, and we will not use those white methods. If we want it, we have to show our strength."

As he said that, he looked at everyone, "Have you been practicing diligently recently?"
