Age of mythical princes

Chapter 171 Taiping Road to Taiping, Zhonghuang Taiyi

Taiping County

This county is one of the newly born ten counties. The actual area is only four counties, and only three counties can be directly inhabited. One county is now completely in the state of jungle and mountains. There are many ghosts and ghosts in it. It has to be cleaned up slowly. Then you can check in smoothly.

But even the remaining three counties are largely deserted today.

The population has been relocated, and it is not an easy job to open up wasteland and farm on Dongning Island at the moment.

Even though a large number of Taoists have used Taoism to help, even if there are a large number of advanced tools such as steel hoes, sickles, and plowshares, there are no strong men, only the old and the weak are left, and it is still very difficult to open up wasteland.

After hard work, they finally got some improvement. Isn't it purely sick to forcefully relocate them back at this time?

Naturally, Jiang Hua would not do such a foolish thing, so he opened a large market near the port in Taiping County, which was essentially a black market.

However, now that it is open in Taiping County, the nobles of Chao Country just pretended not to see it.

Moreover, ever since Daoist Taiping swept across the six northern counties of the Chao Kingdom alone, and since Wang Jujun was sweeping a certain county, the nobles once again realized a problem: Guojunxi cannot guarantee their safety.

When many nobles discovered this, the nobles who originally did not want to trade with Yancheng also changed their attitudes.

Now their mentality is: they don't want to make money in the deal with Yancheng, they just want to spend money to buy peace and peace of mind, and you Yancheng don't bother me in the future.

With such a mentality, many nobles brought boat after boat of savages to Taiping County and Taiping Port. You can tell from the name that this is the place governed by the Taoist Taiping who swept the six counties in the north.

However, although Taiping Port is nominally affiliated to Taiping County, it is actually directly managed by Yancheng, but Taiping County can get [-]% of the commission.

Although it doesn't sound like much, considering that Taiping Port is one of the largest smuggling ports in Chaoguo and Yancheng, this profit is quite a lot.

Taoist Taiping chose this place in the first place, more or less because of the [-]% commission.

In Taiping County, Taoist Taiping sat quietly on the futon, while the second and third brothers had a heated discussion: "Third brother, have you ever visited Taiping Town?"

"Of course, second brother, you have already asked this question six times!"

"I have visited Taiping Town more than once, and I know what Taiping Town means to us."

"Soon, a thousand households will be sent here, and we will resettle them in Taiping Town."

"There is a tributary of the Chaohe River in Taiping Town, with a lot of water and a large amount of water. There is a large plain along both sides of the river. Therefore, Taiping Town has both water and plains. As long as the people live here, they don't have to worry about food and drink. "

"Besides, I've checked this tributary twice, and I've planted peace talismans on those who have become spirits, and I've collected them for my own use and turned them into our monsters to help us patrol this tributary. , and guard Taiping Harbor by the way."

"Although these monsters are not very strong, they are somewhat useful in the water. Basically, they are good at water techniques. I plan to train them and teach them some basic water techniques, so that they can work together to irrigate the crops."

"With these water demons, it will be much more convenient for us to farm."

"As for the land, recently, there hasn't been much spiritual fluctuation, so there haven't been too many new monsters born. I've checked every inch of land in the entire fifty-mile radius of Taiping Town, and found seven new monsters before and after. The goblin is making bacon, and when a thousand households arrive, each household will give them [-] catties of bacon as a gift!"

Speaking of this, the third child looked at the second child and asked directly: "Second brother, don't keep asking me, how is your house preparation? How is the food preparation?"

"After these thousand households came here, they were empty-handed and had nothing!"

"If you don't prepare these, where do they live? What do they eat? Basic necessities of life, have you prepared all these?"

Hearing this, the second brother also nodded vigorously: "It's all built. I used the Taoist courtyard technique in the Yancheng Journal. Every household has three entrances and three exits. The front yard Wells are also built in the backyard and the backyard. The whole town is planned as a part of the east city, the west city, the south city and the north part. In the middle is a street with a width of 15 meters. .”

"The east and west of the city are residential areas, each with [-] households. The south of the city is a large schoolyard, and the north of the city is a large school, which is responsible for teaching them how to read and write."

"There is also a stone wall built outside the [-] households. This stone wall is one meter thick and three feet high, and it looks very safe."

"As for the grain, I have already bought [-] shi from Yancheng. When the thousand households come, each family will be given one shi of grain per head, and the rest of the grain will be put in the rice shop and sold slowly. In addition , I have already contacted the merchant, and there will be another [-] shi of grain coming in two days, and I will store it up for emergencies.”

"In terms of cloth, [-] bolts of cloth have also been purchased, and they are distributed according to the head of the person. Each person will be given two bolts of cloth, and the rest will be sold slowly."

"Sea salt is a specialty of Yancheng. All of it is fine salt with white flowers. When it comes, it is still distributed according to the head of the person. Each person is given two catties of salt."

"All kinds of food and drink expenses will be distributed, and the first meeting will be distributed according to the average amount of one to three months per person."

"It's just that there are not many Taoists. Our three brothers left in a hurry. We were still preaching in Qi State, but we came here immediately after hearing the news. It may take two or three months for the disciples to come."

Hearing this, the third child also spread his arms and looked at the elder brother Taoist Taiping.

Daoist Taiping stroked his beard and said, "How many people do we have now?"

"Now there are only 16 disciples, all of whom are Taoists."

"There are many disciples, disciples and family members. It is estimated that there are five to six hundred people together. It's just that their speed of action is very slow, especially the family members. Don't even think about it for three months."

"All disciples, you have to protect your family members. There are only 16 people who came here in the early stage."

Sixteen plus three is nineteen.

Nineteen people, can manage a small town of a thousand households?

Taoist Taiping thinks that the problem is not big.

"However, there are still many Taoists in Yancheng. They are very enthusiastic. Some donated food to us, some donated some small magic tools for daily life, and some left us famous posts saying yes If you have difficulties, you can go to them to discuss and discuss, maybe they can help you." The third brother said directly.

"Oh?" Taoist Taiping was very curious about this.

"For example, Taoist Qingmei, this fellow Taoist was born in Plum Blossom Dao. Taoist Qingmei admires our ideals very much, and said that today he will bring some enthusiastic fellow Taoists to help."

"Then what are you waiting for? Come with me to welcome you."

After a while, Taoist Taiping came to Taiping Port, saw Taoist Qingmei, Jiang Hua, and a thousand households behind Jiang Hua.

Jiang Hua introduced to Taoist Taiping: "Fellow Taoist, these thousand households will be handed over to you in half a month."

Most of these common people were disheveled and dirty. Most of them had been starving for a long time. There were not a few skinny and deformed people.

You can tell from the appearance that most of these people are savages.

In Jiang Hua's view, it is extremely irresponsible to directly hand over the thousand households to Taoist Taiping.

What do fellow Taoists know?
He doesn't understand anything!

Jiang Hua didn't doubt Taoist Taiping's determination, nor did he doubt his financial resources, but these thousand households had to be fed for half a month. Take it easy, and then you can live a normal life.

Otherwise, if the plan of Taoist Taiping's second and third brothers is really followed, many people will only eat bad stomachs, eat bad bodies, and even die when they are happy or excited...

"Next, these thousand households will live collectively in the camp that has already been built near the port for half a month. The main purpose of this half month is to slowly recover their bodies and take care of them. After half a month, they will be able to go directly to Taiping Town to live. gone."

The moment Taoist Taiping saw these people, he understood Jiang Hua's thoughts: "No problem, these people really need to be raised well. It just so happens that in the next half month, my brother, my disciples, and I can also To get up close and personal with these people, to give them hope, and to preach to them at the same time."

Preach!

Taoist Taiping finally chose religion!
He can't trust the official!

Therefore, after thinking for a long time, Taoist Taiping decided to create Taiping Dao, and then let the people under his rule become congregants, and govern one side with canon.

It sounds very idealistic, not very reliable, but still the same sentence, as long as it is not too outrageous, Jiang Hua will not interfere.With the strength of the three Daoist Taiping brothers, it is easy to cover a small town with a thousand households.

"Li Sheng once said that a small country with few people..."

"The whole town is actually not big, and a thousand households can see this old man every day."

"Moreover, most of these people have just left the savage village, and most of them can live a good life in the town."

"At a time like this, people's minds are peaceful, and they don't need too many big actions. They only need three simple rules, and then don't toss, rest and recuperate, and they will be cured naturally."

"So, I plan not to bother about anything other than preaching."

"Every day, I will show up in the whole town, meet more people, and tell them more about the teachings of Taipingdao..."

Taoist Taiping talked about his philosophy again, Jiang Hua didn't make any comments, but Taoist Qingmei who came with him came out on his own initiative.

"So, what is the teaching of Taiping Dao?"

Taoist Taiping looked at Taoist Qingmei and nodded with a smile: "This way takes Huangtian as the supreme god, believes in the Yellow Emperor and Li Sheng, and believes that the world in the time of the Yellow Emperor is the world of peace and the real world of great harmony. This is the spirit of the believers. sustenance."

"The world of peace in the teachings is a world of peace without hunger, disaster, sickness, and crimes such as cunning, theft, deception, and plunder. This is the pursuit of peace and the way of peace."

"Of course, Zhitaiping can also be seen as the pursuit of a world of great harmony. The world of peace and the world of great harmony are actually different descriptions of the same thing."

"Through the longing and longing for a peaceful world, and through preaching, we can awaken people's kindness."

"Everyone I teach regards peace as the highest idea."

"Everyone I teach must not steal or cheat..."

"In Taiping Dao, I am General Tiangong, my second brother is General Earth, and my third brother is General Rengong."

Hearing this, Taoist Qingmei felt a little unreliable, but she couldn't tell exactly where it was unreliable.

She only thinks Taoist Taiping's ideal is very good, but her intuition tells her that it is unreliable!
"Then how do you manage it?" Taoist Qingmei continued to ask.

"Govern by doing nothing, let the people govern themselves."

"As long as the common people can understand the teachings of Taiping Dao and act according to the teachings, then it is not a big problem for the common people to govern themselves in units of hundreds of households."

"How to govern yourself?" Taoist Qingmei asked.

"Teach the people the teachings of Taiping Dao first, and teach them to be good. Every night, I spend half an hour teaching them the teachings of Taiping Dao. After listening too much, those who can recite the teachings of the Taiping Cabinet and act according to the teachings, and Those who can pass the test of the Mirror of Questioning will formally enter the Tao and become followers of Taiping Tao."

"The congregation can learn words for free, and can learn breathing techniques, guidance techniques, and visualization techniques for free."

"In the future, these villages will be directly governed by the congregation."

"Every once in a while, we will check whether the congregants are following the way, and whether their behavior is in compliance with the teachings and regulations. Directly use the questioning mirror to investigate, or create a large illusion, and use powerful illusions to inspect them inadvertently."

"Those who do not abide by the teachings in private will be dealt with directly according to the teachings."

"In the end, use devout believers to govern each village, and then use canons and teachings to restrain them, so as to govern each small town."

"It's only one county now. In the future, I plan to create a dozen or twenty small towns according to the specific terrain. These small towns will be managed by my trusted disciples."

"Taiping Dao doesn't force the people to join the Tao, but it takes time every night to explain the teachings."

"Whoever is willing to listen, give some daily necessities such as grain, eggs, or daily necessities."

"Once you enter the Tao and become an official congregation, you have the right to study and practice for free, but at the same time, you must strictly abide by the teachings and act in accordance with the rules. All evil things must be prohibited, and we must help ordinary people more. Treat people equally. No stealing or fraud, no abuse of people, no personal gain, no..."

Looking at Taoist Taiping who was very excited, Taoist Qingmei didn't say anything. As for Jiang Hua, he felt that Taoist Taiping's set was all based on Taoist Taiping's extremely high personal self-cultivation, and it was all based on the knowledge of each of his disciples. Have a very high self-cultivation.

Will it work?

How long will it go bad?
