The so-called profit-seeking nature of human nature, these people from the White Lotus Sect are not good at all.
Although the reasons why these people joined the White Lotus Sect were various, their purposes were almost the same.
It’s nothing more than for greater rights and more benefits.
When mentioning money, everyone's heart can't help but feel hot.
The White Lotus Sect is certainly a huge organization, but the larger the organization, the more it needs financial support.
In this world, no matter what you do, there is nothing that does not require spending money.
For an organization like the White Lotus Sect, a very important part of its funding source comes from ordinary and heavier donations of incense money.
In the past, when the leader of the White Lotus Sect was still there, the altar masters in various places would still hand over part of the incense before the members came in according to the previous rules.
After Chen Xueying killed the former leader and brought the Aries Sect under his control, his control over the White Lotus Sect was actually much lower than before.
In order to win people's hearts, Chen Xueying spent a lot of money outside.
Because of this, the funds on his hands are getting tighter and tighter now.
This guy Zhu Han actually dared to raise the price of food in Datong Prefecture to such a terrifying level.
So from the time of the disaster until now, how much money has this guy collected in total?
Just thinking about it for a moment made Chen Xueying's heart become hot.
If everything goes well, let alone the money spent in the initial stage of raising an army, it might be able to support the entire army for a long time.
If Chen Xueying was originally worried about the issue of raising troops,
Now that he heard the news from Old Man Kong, he had completely strengthened his determination to raise troops.
If the problems of land and money can be solved at once, then the rest of the matter will be much easier to handle.
"Okay!" Chen Xueying slammed the table.
Because I was so excited, the teapot and teacups on the table were shaken and rattled.
"Mr. Kong is worthy of being a descendant of Saint Kong and of the same lineage as Duke Yan." As he said this, Chen Xueying stood up and walked slowly to Old Man Kong.
"With the help of Master Confucius, my king is like an army of millions."
"If Master will not give up, I would like to worship you as a military advisor and also serve as the crown prince's guardian. I also ask you to help me overthrow the Ming Dynasty and restore the world!"
Confucius also immediately pretended to be flattered: "Your Majesty, you must never do this."
"I am a village man from the mountains, with no virtue or talent, but I am willing to do the work of my dog and horse for the prince."
In terms of official positions in the Ming Dynasty, Prince Shaobao was a high-ranking second-rank official.
How many officials work hard all their lives but never reach the level of a heel.
But Chen Xueying doesn't care, he basically has nothing now.
Promising an official position in vain is like asking for no money. As long as people are willing to help him, he will not be stingy with rewards.
Of course, Old Man Kong didn't take this so-called Prince Shaobao seriously. All he needed was someone who could help him restore the glory of the Kong family.
The reason why I chose Chen Xueying is not because of how good Chen Xueying is.
But in this situation, they really have no other choice.
After the two performed a performance of being a king, a saint, and a minister, Chen Xueying finally got to the point.
"Kong Shaobao also asked me, although it is exposed and brutal, Datong Mansion is a city after all. It is high and strong, with strong soldiers and horses."
"Although the king has brought two thousand soldiers and horses this time, these two thousand soldiers and horses are insufficiently equipped. I am afraid it will be difficult to compete head-on with the imperial army."
Confucius stroked his beard and looked like he had everything under control: "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. We now occupy the right time and the right people, so we don't need to go head-to-head with the army of the Dog Court."
"All we need is the opportunity in modern times and patiently waiting for the Dog Court to reveal its flaws."
Old Man Kong had just finished speaking when the altar master of the White Lotus Sect's Datong Mansion said eagerly: "Absolutely not."
Because he was too anxious, his voice was louder, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Seeing everyone around him looking at him, Tanzhu, who was originally very anxious, couldn't help but feel guilty.
He subconsciously shrank his neck.
Chen Xueying frowned slightly, obviously dissatisfied with his sudden interruption.
In Chen Xueying's eyes, these altar masters of the White Lotus Sect are not actually his own people at all.
These guys all firmly grasped their own territory. Although they reluctantly obeyed his instructions, they had to urge him again and again every time.
Now that there was an opportunity to raise an army, this guy actually jumped out to oppose it.
He must have some small thoughts of his own.
However, if he wanted to succeed in the uprising, he would have to rely on the power of this stall owner.
So even though she was very dissatisfied, Chen Xueying suppressed the idea of killing the altar leader.
He asked patiently: "What objection does Duke Guo of Qi have?"
Although Chen Xueying's demonstration was very good, the altar leader of the White Lotus Sect is an old man.
He was keenly aware of Chen Xueying's dissatisfaction with him.
He curled his lips in disdain and cursed secretly: "You're just a little kid who ran out of nowhere. If you weren't Chen Youliang's son, how would you think you could show off your power in front of me."
He only dared to think about these words in his heart and would never dare to say them out loud.
Of course, what he was really afraid of was not Chen Xueying.
Although he is Chen Youliang's son, Chen Xueying did not inherit any of Chen Youliang's talents.
If this guy was really that talented, he wouldn't have been a transparent person when Chen Youliang was alive.
What really scares this altar leader are Chen Youliang's old men.
Most of these people are veterans who have been on the battlefield, and some have even served as generals.
The abilities of these people are not comparable to those of the White Lotus Sect.
If it weren't for them, how could Chen Xueying be the guest?
He counterattacked and killed the original leader of the White Lotus Sect, and finally turned against the guest.
Chen Xueying may not be able to control the entire White Lotus Sect, but if he can only deal with him alone, there will be absolutely no problem.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Just like the two people who have been standing behind Chen Xueying in a dark place where the light cannot shine.
Although the two of them acted very low-key, the altar owner felt a kind of frightened feeling just standing near them.
He could even vaguely smell the smell of blood.
This kind of person must have been born in a bloody battle on the battlefield.
If he really fights for his life, even if there are more people on his side, he may not be able to get a good deal.
Putting away the little thoughts in his heart, the altar master said respectfully: "Go back to Your Highness, King Han, I don't mean that."
Although he was granted the title of Duke of Qi, the altar leader obviously has not yet adapted to his new status.
After all, his so-called Duke of Qi only has an empty title.
There is neither a fiefdom nor the corresponding treatment as a state official.
Except when Chen Xueying had just killed the leader of the White Lotus Sect, when the so-called imperial decree conferring knighthood on them was delivered, the stall owner and his subordinates celebrated by eating and drinking.
Except for the excited congratulations from his subordinates, nothing changed from before.
Therefore, the altar leader still subconsciously regarded himself as the ordinary person he was before.
I couldn't help but use the title "little man".
Chen Xueying frowned slightly and secretly sighed in her heart: "Sure enough, he is a weakling who can't achieve anything."
On the surface, he laughed and said: "The Duke of Qi does not need to be so humble. You are the Duke of my great Han Dynasty. You can just call yourself a minister."
The red old man even showed a look of disdain, he was indeed a weakling who couldn't get on the stage.
The altar leader quickly changed his words: "Young man... I just think that we should act as soon as possible now and there must be no delay."
"Oh." Chen Xueying became interested: "Tell me what you think."
"Back to your lord, although the imperial court is greedy, that bitch Zhu Han is even more interested in plundering people's wealth and wealth in different ways."
"But Zhu Han's methods are extremely clever. Instead of resenting Zhu Han or the Dog Court, these people are very grateful to the Dog Court."
"I'm worried that if this continues, there will be fewer and fewer people willing to follow us to resist the dog court."
"So we might as well cut the knot quickly and start taking action immediately."
"In this case, many people will be willing to follow our holy religion to deal with the dog court."
As soon as the Altar Master finished speaking, Old Man Kong jumped out angrily, his beard trembling non-stop: "Absurd!"
"Qi Guogong, if you don't understand the world's major events, don't speak casually."
"We are the army of justice, and the reason why we raise the army is to protect the common people of the world."
"The people have been suffering for a long time. Once our holy religion shows its banner, the people who have been oppressed by that bitch Zhu Han for a long time will definitely respond in large numbers and join our holy religion to resist the dog court."
"How is it possible that no one responded as you said?"
After all, the forum leader is just a rough guy, and he is definitely not as good as Old Man Kong when it comes to his words.
When Old Man Kong retorted, he blushed and hesitated, unable to say a word for a long time.
Of course, there is another reason why this is so. People in this era still respect scholars from the bottom of their hearts.
It would be fine if he was an ordinary scholar, but this person in front of me is from the Kong family.
In front of Old Man Kong, not to mention him as a rebel, even Chen Xueying was actually a bit inferior to Old Man Kong.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have made that gesture just now.
"What are you?" The more the altar owner said this, the more aggressive Old Man Kong became.
"The sage once said..." A large number of commentators also came down.
Most of the people in the room were completely confused. They could understand every word Old Man Kong said, but when these words were put together, they couldn't understand the meaning at all.
Only the storyteller Xu Shiheng shook his head as if he understood something.
But whether he understands it or not, I'm afraid only he knows.
After speaking in one breath for less than half an hour, Old Man Kong stopped and said, "Now do you understand that the general trend of the world is on our side."
"So the more times like this, the more important it is to remain calm. This is what is said about not changing your face even if Mount Tai collapses."
"If you act rashly without preparation, failure will only make the dog court vigilant. By then, if the prince wants to succeed, it will be extremely difficult."
"So we must wait for the opportunity and make sure to hit it right away, and we must not leave any breathing room for the dog court."
The altar owner was sprayed bloody, and his eyes were spinning.
People like him don't know many Chinese characters, let alone those profound Confucian classics.
After being scolded by Old Man Kong, he had no room to even open his mouth to reply.
Bang bang bang!
Moderate applause rang out in the room.
The person who applauded was none other than Chen Xueying: "As expected, my visit to Datong Mansion this time was not in vain."
"Even if we don't succeed this time, with your help from Kong Shaobao, my trip will not be in vain."
"With your assistance, I will be even more powerful. Within ten days, A and B will be able to overthrow the Ming Dynasty and restore the orthodoxy of our Han Dynasty."
After being flattered by Chen Xueying's series of flattery, Master Kong was satisfied with his hand and snorted: "The king of Han is so unworthy of his compliments."
After that, he nodded to the altar leader in a gentle way: "I know, Xiguo Palace, and you have good intentions. But not everyone has the strategy to conquer the world."
"If you have any ideas in the future, it's best to think them through before speaking, so as not to make others laugh."
"Master taught me this." The altar owner apologized respectfully, but in his heart he had already greeted all the eighteen generations of Old Man Kong's ancestors.
"You ungrateful bitch, if it weren't for me, you would be here today. You just met Chen Xueyingcai and you turned your back on him."
"Sure enough, there is no good scholar."
After the altar leader was scolded, no one dared to question the decision made by Chen Xueying and Old Man Kong.
It's just that in this room, there are several others who have the same idea as the Altar Master.
Zhou Tong and Zhao Mingde looked at each other secretly.
They all saw a different look in each other's eyes.
However, since the altar owners were scolded, they naturally would not bring trouble to themselves.
Just the day after their gathering, Datong Mansion had issued an announcement.
The imperial court was aware of the white people's religious intentions and took advantage of the drought in Datong Prefecture to cause chaos.
It is hoped that all the people in Datong Prefecture will assist the government in searching for the whereabouts of the rebel members of the White Lotus Sect.
Anyone who reports the White Lotus Sect will be rewarded with one tael of silver upon verification.
If the identity of the person being reported is the leader of the White Lotus Sect, the reward will be increased accordingly.
Of course, there are not just rewards. If it is found to be a false accusation, there will naturally be corresponding punishments.
As soon as this announcement came out, the eyes of almost all Datong people turned red.
Whether it's people in Datong Prefecture or people in refugee camps.
Everyone started to open their eyes, looking for suspicious people.
Although the most difficult period of the disaster has passed, these people are still short of money.
If you report someone called a white man, you can get one or two silver coins.
If you report ten or eight people, you won't have to worry about money for at least a few years.
At this moment, Chen Xueying, Old Man Kong, and everyone in the White Lotus Sect who were about to show off their talents were all dumbfounded.
