Zhang Xueliang also knew that Zhang Tinglan had found a beggar some time ago and wanted to train him. Therefore, when he heard that a master came to Duan Zhigui's house, Zhang Xueliang's first thought was that Zhang Tinglan had done anything, but he asked about this master.
Zhang Xueliang really couldn't believe all the miraculous things the master had done.
He lowered his voice and said to Zhang Tinglan: "I heard that this master first arrived at a wealthy family and blocked the door. The family refused to believe it and released a group of vicious dogs to bite the master. As a result, the master gently
Waving his sleeves, the vicious dog ran back obediently. The master sat there for three days without eating or drinking. The family still didn't respond. The master sighed and wrote on the wall: Being rich and arrogant will bring the consequences.
As a result, the family washed it with water but couldn't get it clean. After scraping off the wall, they found that the ink stains had penetrated deep into the bricks!"
Zhang Xueliang danced while talking. Apparently he was also shocked by the magic of this master.
"The most amazing thing is that this master can also walk on water. The family sent servants to chase him. When they got to the water, the master stepped on the water and walked over without getting his shoes and socks wet. Isn't this Dengping crossing the water?"
"What is it!" Zhang Tinglan said with a smile: "That guy is just a beggar. He can walk on water because there are four people below supporting him!"
Zhang Xueliang was stunned when he heard this: "Then the other ones are also fake? How on earth was it done?"
Zhang Tinglan smiled and said: "Han Qing, if you want to learn how to do both, come and fill me up with tea!"
Zhang Xueliang obediently filled up a glass for Zhang Tinglan, and then said with a flattering smile: "Master Zhang, please give me some advice."
"He drove away the vicious dogs with a wave of his sleeves because he had a few tiger hairs hidden in his sleeves. What a powerful dog. He smelled the smell of the king of beasts, so why didn't he just hide away? He sat there for three days in a row.
Because he brought ginseng and qi-boosting pills, one pill is enough for a day. As for writing, it’s even easier, just mix ink with mercury and that’s it!”
After Zhang Tinglan finished speaking, Zhang Xueliang's eyes suddenly widened. He thought he had met some great outsider! Chinese people all have a plot of rivers and lakes. Throughout the ages, countless notebooks and novels have recorded countless land gods.
Now that he finally met one, Zhang Xueliang couldn't help but be fascinated by him.
In the end, Zhang Tinglan's trick was exposed. Zhang Xueliang was instantly discouraged, but he still refused to give up and continued to ask: "Are the legends in the past all false? Are there no extraordinary masters in this world?"
"Whether there is or not, but the dragon has its head but not its tail, those who appear in front of people and covet wealth and glory are definitely not masters, most of them are liars!"
This truth is actually easy to understand, but some people just can't understand it. Even in later generations, this kind of scammer can still be popular, and countless people are willing to be fooled.
"Brother Tinglan, you must have some plans for arranging this master to get close to Duan Zhigui, right?"
"Gou Jian presents the beauty, and we present it to the master. It is just to make Duan Zhigui torment even more fiercely!"
After His Highness Duan arrived in Fengtian, he actually went through a lot of trouble. First, he organized a petition group and paraded on the streets every day. Students, businessmen, workers, coachmen, shop waiters, prostitutes, beggars, etc. were all mobilized.
Of course, almost none of these people know what a monarchy is and what a republic is. For those beggars, they can exchange for two white flour buns during the parade every day. This is not much easier than asking for food. Others are more or less the same.
Have some expression.
Even though everyone didn't have much money, he couldn't handle the large number of people. After Duan Zhigui arrived in Fengtian, the money was scattered like running water. His Highness Duan also wanted to show his loyalty to his godfather and kept sending money to Beijing. The huge Fengtian was there.
Duan Zhigui's eyes are like a cash machine.
However, Fengtian’s foundation is indeed too thin. There is not much cash and a lot of debts. Coupled with Xiao Duan’s troubles, the treasury will soon be at the bottom. Lao Zhang promised to help get the money, but after finishing speaking, he ran to
The troops were reviewed outside the city and arrangements were made to suppress the bandits.
Duan Zhigui couldn't find Zhang Zuolin, so he had to call Wang Shuhan, who was in charge of finance, to the Governor's Mansion, and cursed him as soon as they met.
"Do you know how important it is for the president to ascend the throne? It's so difficult for you to provide some money! Everyone in Fengtian is so negligent. When the president becomes emperor, aren't you afraid of having your head chopped off?"
"General, even if you chop off my head now, you still can't get any money. Fengtian is not rich to begin with and is still in debt. I really have no choice!"
"It's nonsense. In such a big province, there are six to seven million people. Each person gives out a piece of ocean, which is several million. You, a dignified finance minister, actually said that you can't get the money. I think you are derelict in your duties and are perfunctory.
Prevaricate!"
"What an injustice!" Wang Shuhan almost burst into tears: "I am at my wits end, so why don't you hire someone else?"
"Humph, don't play this trick with me, I won't be fooled." Duan Zhigui walked around the ground twice, and then said: "Don't you manage the official bank account? You can make money with a few pieces of paper, right?
Print it for me quickly, and don’t you have any other reserves? Send them to my governor’s house!”
At this moment, Wang Shuhan burst into tears. Is it so easy to print money? The value of money will keep depreciating. If you print money desperately, it will collapse in a short time. Isn't this suicide?
"General, currency must also pay attention to credit. If you print too much, the people will not recognize it. By then, all the popular tickets on the market will become waste paper. From now on, Fengtian's finance will be dominated by foreigners!"
"Dare you?" Duan Zhigui glared and said loudly: "Those mud-legged people dare not use it. I will have them arrested. You can print money boldly. Whatever happens, you will be covered."
I'll bear it."
Duan Zhigui was so eager to get the funds that he did not care about any consequences. It is often said that serving as an official will benefit one party, but Duan Zhigui didn't think so at all. He just wanted to use Fengtian to get enough benefits, and then wait until his godfather
As soon as he ascends the throne, he immediately returns to Beijing to be a high-ranking official and enjoy good fortune. Who cares whether there will be floods in Fengtian.
Wang Shuhan was full of truth and couldn't explain it, so he had to do what Duan Zhigui said. After sending Wang Shuhan away, Duan Zhigui was obviously not satisfied. He wanted to go to Zhang Zuolin and ask Lao Zhang to find a way to pay.
At this time, someone reported to him that a strange thing happened next to the Governor's Mansion. A master blocked the door of a wealthy family for three days in a row. Duan Zhigui usually treated these half-immortals
The master was interested, and immediately became energetic after hearing this. After asking about the situation carefully, Duan Zhigui immediately asked someone to invite the master.
When his men went to look for him, they happened to find that the master had arrived outside the city and was about to leave while walking on the water. These people were also shocked. Isn't this a living god? After all, he kept the master and invited him to the governor's mansion.
Duan Zhigui personally went to greet him outside the gate. He saw a tall and thin Taoist coming from a distance. He wore a fishtail Taoist crown on his head, a royal blue Taoist robe, a yellow velvet silk ribbon, bamboo cane and mango shoes, and a sword on his back.
, a futon was wrapped around the sword, and he walked with his long sleeves fluttering, as if he was banishing an immortal to the mortal world.
When the old Taoist saw Duan Zhigui, his face suddenly changed color, and then he turned around and left without saying a word. The servant was also shocked and quickly grabbed the old Taoist. Duan Zhigui was also confused and walked over quickly.
"Chief Immortal, when you arrive at the gate of the mansion, why do you still want to leave?"
The old Taoist sighed: "I'm a poor Taoist, I have never dealt with people in the government. You are already a highly respected minister and a prince for generations, what else can I ask for!"
Duan Zhigui was just curious about this old man at first, but as soon as he heard the words "Wang Dai", Duan Zhigui's admiration couldn't stop him. He was really a living god, he could see his own destiny in one fell swoop. Duan Zhigui also wanted to
Lao Yuan is crazy about proclaiming himself emperor, and this is exactly what he wants.
He immediately grabbed Lao Tao's sleeve and refused to let him go. His enthusiasm reached the extreme, and he invited Lao Tao into the Governor's Mansion. Duan Zhigui gave an order and summoned Tang Shenxian, Sun Banxian and the others.
Everyone has finished sitting down.
Duan Zhigui said very politely: "Immortal, I haven't asked your superiors yet, where can I practice?"
"Pindao is a descendant of Zhengdao Zizi. He went to Zixiayan. He became a monk in Longhu Mountain in his early years and later traveled around the world. He wanted to seek the great road, but his achievements were limited and he was ashamed of his mentor. General Duan, you have to deal with many things every day, so you should focus on your great cause.
It’s important, the day of success is just around the corner, I’d better not disturb you!”
As he stood up to leave, Duan Zhigui immediately stood up and went to stop him. Usually the people he met would say how great he was, but this old Taoist actually belittled himself, which was an anomaly. However, the old Taoist said that the day he would succeed
Not far away, let yourself put your great cause first. Isn’t this a clear statement that you will succeed in restoring the monarchy!
This old Taoist must have understood the secrets of heaven and must not let him go. Duan Zhigui hurriedly stopped the old Taoist and asked his men to prepare a banquet. Soon countless dishes were placed in front of him. Tang Shenxian and Sun Banxian had already started eating.
However, Yan Laodao didn't even move his chopsticks.
"General, just prepare some fresh fruits for Pindao!" Duan Zhigui hurriedly asked his servants to bring them to him.
The old Taoist took a few mouthfuls and then said with a smile: "Thank you, General Duan, for the hospitality. I have nothing to give you, so I just offer you some water and wine for you to taste!"
As he spoke, the old Taoist stretched out his two fingers, pointed at the sky, made a few circles, and then pointed at the wine glass in front of Duan Zhigui. Suddenly, a stream of clear wine shot out from his fingers and fell into the wine glass, just in time.
Filled.
Duan Zhigui's eyes widened when he saw this. This is fairy wine! Duan Zhigui hurriedly picked it up and took a sip. Suddenly his throat was on fire. He tasted it carefully. The wine was very strong, but it was not fragrant and had a slight taste.
It smelled bad. But soon after I drank it, a wave of heat rose up from my lower abdomen, and my body suddenly felt a little hot.
"The general atones for his sins. The poor man forgot that this is the first time for the general to drink this wine, and he is a little overwhelmed!"
It took a while for Duan Zhigui to return to normal, but he felt that his body was lighter and more powerful. This wine was really extraordinary.
"What a magical wine. Taoist Priest, you have such ability. Can you know the future and help Duan solve the current dilemma? Duan will be grateful!"
