Chapter 275: Here Comes the Truth

The men who met them at the bottom of the hill killed them.

Though the people were no more than a hundred or so.

But these people are well trained after all, and in a flash, they killed the crowd of Daoists without leaving a single piece of armor.

Seeing this, the rest of the Daoists knelt down and cried out for mercy.

And by this time, almost everyone was exhausted.

But Chen Daowen, at this moment, was already red in the eyes, and he was like a wild beast in a frenzy.

A hard slap in the face to this Buddha’s father.

And then cursed, “Wait for the skinning.”

One is bound to be emotional to the core in such a situation.

Chen Daowen, however, was still regaining his composure, and in his heart, he knew that at the moment, this person, there was no need to kill.

At that moment, he commanded the people to say, “This place, give me to search and confiscate a bottom of the sky, the rest of the people, immediately with me down the mountain, fire back to the capital.”

At this time, it is necessary to return to the capital at fire speed, a moment can not be delayed, to take advantage of all people have not reacted to the time, to arrive in the capital, otherwise …… this White Lotus Church s party will inevitably carry out a counterattack once they are aware of it.

At that moment, all of them quickly assembled and pressed this Father and Mother Buddha, as well as some of the backbone of the White Lotus Sect, and went down the mountain at that moment.

The inventory soon revealed a large amount of paperwork.

In addition to those useless so-called talismans, there was actually half a room full of account books.

It was ridiculous to say that this full half-room of account books were the many ‘offerings’ that the White Lotus Taoists in the various state capitals had presented.

Naturally, what really mattered to the lieutenants was a flower directory.

Those recorded here are mostly some of the important backbones of the White Lotus Sect.

For this so-called Buddha’s father and mother to maneuver behind the scenes, it is inevitable that someone needs to be in front of and behind the stage.

The White Lotus Sect has utilized a great deal of raw cuts, along with many rituals, and elaborate organizational methods to establish an underground order since the Song Dynasty.

And it’s all about manpower.

The Buddhist father was taken and still chanting in his mouth, though he was escorted down the mountain and loaded into a cart, still chanting in his mouth.

It seemed that at this time, all he really had left to do was to recite the sutras, as if hoping that the roaming gods and Buddhas, who even he himself did not believe in, would be able to help him at this time.

He soon found himself speedily conveyed to a certain ferry, and then in this canal crossing, where several boats had long been waiting.

He was then escorted onto the ship and Chen Dao Wen personally guarded him.

Chen Daowen sat cross-legged in the crow’s nest, and this Buddha father said, “How did you find me? How did ……”

So far, he still couldn’t believe that he was confident that he was at the top of his game when it came to hiding his tracks.

In fact, this is understandable. Since its birth, the White Lotus Sect has suffered blows from the officials time and again. They have rich experience of being struck down, so to speak, and after the chiefs have been caught and broken into pieces again and again.

These descendants of the White Lotus Sect, based on the failures of their predecessors, had long since developed a set of hiding methods after trial and error.

And these dharmas are the pinnacle in terms of perching and hiding.

Chen Daowen ignored him.

“Could it be that you guys have immortal magic?” Chen Daowen added, “No, never …… If the heavens have eyes, they should shelter me, not you ……”

Chen Dao Wen was tired, and he suppressed the urge to kill this person over and over again.

At the moment, all he could think about was how to play the situation.

After his heart surged with killing opportunities over and over again, he was still restraining himself as usual.

In the depths of the cavern, the lieutenants also sought out a dozen or so women who had long since been ravaged beyond recognition, women of an age when they should have been under the favor of their parents.

Chen Dao Wen had just given birth to a daughter, thus, his fists clenched and forced themselves to loosen up again and again.

Father Buddha said, “You let me go, and in the future ……”

Buddha s father is very desperate inside at this time, but he still does not give up, just …… this person in front of him, let him feel discouraged.

In the past, he was not without encountering the police officers and officials, but those people …… only need him to compel a few words, and they will often be seduced.

And the man in front of me has a heart like iron.

Father Buddha still does not give up, at this time continued, “Could it be that a small military official in a district like yours is willing to be driven by people for the rest of his life? I can give you riches and wealth, and even …… can let you be promoted, I am in the court and the government, also have people.”

Chen Daowen said at this time, “Do you know what I’m thinking?”

When Father Buddha saw that he had responded, he perked up and said joyfully, “What are you thinking about? If you have any thoughts, I will teach your mind to think.”

Chen Daowen said coldly, “I just gave birth to my daughter, I don t want …… her future to be trampled by people like you.”

Father Buddha said, “You’ve obviously misunderstood, I’m doing this for their own good, it was their parents who cried and begged me to exorcise their evil spirits, I’m doing a good deed.”

Chen Daowen like to make a lot of strength in general, took a deep breath, before violently eyes a sheet, eyes swept a murderous intent, coldly said, “In order to take you, I died nine robes, these people …… are still young, they worked hard to get into the official school academy, there was a great future, their parents wives and children have pinned their hopes on them, and now …… died because of you!”

“If you want to suffer less physical pain along the way, shut your mouth. If you still dare to chatter, I can put up with your words, but ask my robes if they are willing to put up with it.”

It was then that Father Buddha realized that the four or five lieutenants who were in custody with the ship were all red-eyed and struggling to restrain themselves like a hungry wolf.

After the reorganization of the Jinyiwei, has undergone a radical change, especially the new lieutenants, they are both good family origin, at the same time can read and write, know some things, after entering the academy, and the contemporaries are all the same students, the friendship is different from others.

Coupled with a good salary, job stability, and even solve the problem of accommodation in the future, they have gradually from the eyes of ordinary people, gradually turned into the meat and potatoes, whose daughters married, feel that the chest can be straightened.

Coupled with Zhang Anshi’s strict prohibition of bullying up and down and internal fights, the relationship between each other had changed from a mutual struggle for power to a shoulder-to-shoulder comrade-in-arms. There might be some friction on weekdays, but once there was damage, they were immediately able to share the same enemy.

This time, in order to absolute secrecy, almost all the lieutenants, are drawn from the students in the official school academy, they are young, more simple, and the face is also raw, this time it is led by Chen Daowen, secret action, can do absolute secrecy.

Nowadays, the people who died may be just ministers to Chen Dao Wen, but to many prospective lieutenants, they are fellow students and close friends who ate and slept together in their youth.

It was fine during the day, but when the boat traveled into the night, there were people whimpering in the stern of the boat.

Chen Dao Wen was guarding Father Buddha almost step by step, it was not that he was afraid that Father Buddha would run away, but he was worried that a lieutenant would not be able to bear the urge to kill.

Boat all the way down the water, along the way do not make any stops, all the rest and relaxation, all in the boat, all the pillows waiting for twelve hours, take turns to guard, in order to ensure that nothing is wrong.

Buddha father at this …… time only realized …… that he really kicked the iron plate, his three inch tongue, and then there is no place to use.

However, the desire to survive still made him again and again calculating how to survive after being escorted to the capital.

Or, rather, increase your value of being utilized.

…………

On the other end of the spectrum, Zhu spent several days in Qixia.

This in turn made Zhang Anshi become a lot more stressed.

On the one hand, it’s a job of defense, and there’s no room for error.

On the other hand, it is Zhang Anshi in Qixia is the king of the mountain, said the emperor of the earth is not too much, and now the real emperor came, he is the emperor of the earth now prototype, from the big brother into a little brother, every now and then have to go to Zhu Di to ask for peace, the mood can be good only strange.

Solely, Zhang Anshi was working in the bookstore, at this time, a clerk said, “Your Excellency, Alutai and Ha’er Wu outlaw two people arrived.”

Zhang Anshi crossed his feet, in the Ming, he is not bragging, in addition to Zhu Di and his brother-in-law, whatever your identity, he does not recognize anyone.

“Call in.”

Within a moment, the pair walked in rather apprehensively.

After that one actual battle, they had realized that the Ming army was not what it used to be, and now that the duo was still stationed in the capital and the emperor did not have any subsequent decree regarding their arrangement, it was even more disturbing.

Now that this Duke of Wei invited himself to speak on the matter, it made them a little more uneasy.

This guy …… in front of me is more ruthless than all of them …… and I don t know, what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd.

The two came in and saluted first, and Zhang Anshi only laughed dryly, “Sit, sit down.”

The two of them owed it to themselves to sit down, and Arutai said, “I don’t know, Duke Wei, what do you have to say?”

Zhang Anshi, however, said, “What are your plans?”

“Intended?” The two looked at each other.

Obviously, they were not expecting at all that Zhang Anshi would actually come to them specifically to ask about this.

Zhang Anshi looked at their surprised faces and asked again, “Want to go back to the middle of the grassland?”

“Think!” The two were almost unanimous.

It’s back in the grasslands that’s the bottom line for them! That’s where their home is!

Staying here is actually no different from being a prisoner.

Just saw Zhang Anshi smiled and said: “I heard that now the desert ministries, have been chaotic, Wala people take this opportunity, the annexation of the Tartar ministries, the momentum is quite strong, you go back, will not also rely on Wala right.”

“No, no ……,” the two said in a rush.

Zhang Anshi smiled and said, “Actually, it doesn’t matter whether you defect to Wala or not, and neither His Majesty nor I, care.”

The two did not know what Zhang Anshi meant and did not dare to respond for a moment.

Zhang Anshi continued, “Daming intends to sign a mutual market agreement with Wala, Wala side …… already has people willing to contact.”

Mutual market?

Arutai said, “As far as I know, the Warratians and Daming have always had mutual markets and exchanged goods.”

This is the truth, at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the Tartars were the most powerful, in order to combat the Tartars, so Zhu Di adopted the state policy of mutual market with Walar, and resolutely combat the Tartars.

Of course, the final result is Zhu Di played off. He hit the Tatars too hard, after several personal conquests of the Tatars, the Tatar ministry was divided into pieces, and the back of the Daming Walar took advantage of this to annex a lot of Tatar tribes, and from then on to grow, and then after a few decades, Ming Yingzong’s personal conquest of the Walar, the result was a pot, which is almost the whole of the early and middle period of the Ming Dynasty, the biggest shame.

Zhang Anshi said, “The mutual market I am talking about can be different from the old days, it is a real intercommunication, but as long as Valar can buy anything, it can be bought.”

The two of them, Arutai and Harl Woodrugh, looked at each other, both looking shocked.

You should know that the Ming’s mutual market, not a simple mutual market, is strictly limited, and the sale of the category is also almost designated, in a way, this is a disguised tribute system only.

But if you really completely liberalize, interchangeable, you can imagine, that the Warrat people can get how much benefit from it.

“Lord Wei, I have a word to say, I don’t know if I should say it or not!”

A Lutai although this is said, but not waiting for Zhang Anshi reaction, he went on to say: “Now the Tartar Department has been declining, sooner or later, the Varadians will grow, and at that time, this Varadians is the heart of the Ming dynasty is a big trouble, is it Wei Guo Gong on them completely without precautions?”

Zhang Anshi was happy.

That said, infighting is traditional no matter what the world is about.

This Mongolian is the infighting to the extreme, the whole Mongolia, the only time all united, only Genghis Khan period, so that Genghis Khan died, his sons will immediately start to break the head.

This Alutai is very real, his days are good or bad, is secondary. The important thing is, can’t let those country bumpkins in Wala have a good day.

Zhang Anshi said, “Do you think that my Ming will still be afraid of the enemies on the steppe?”

At these words, Arutai hastily nodded his head.

It was then that he realized that the underlying reason for the so-called complete interoperability was that Damien no longer cared.

Yes, people don’t care at all, so what if you grow?

Perhaps in the steppe, the so-called strong means that you can show off, but in front of the Ming, after that one actual battle, Alutai has been able to realize that the cavalry on horseback, simply unbearable.

Alutai said, “Are the Tartars and the Woodlanders, too, allowed to trade with each other?”

Zhang Anshi said, “Yes, I came to find you, is for this matter, for the future you returned to the grassland, and you have mutual market and mutual benefit, and from then on mutual exchange of goods, each other into a peace.”

Arutai instantly rejoiced, “If this is possible, it is really great.”

Zhang Anshi added: “But to have a mutual market, we have to set up rules first, first …… we have to have a currency, so …… if you want to purchase my Daming’s merchant goods, you must use Daming’s silver dollars and copper coins, and other currencies, even if they is real gold and silver, will not be accepted at all.”

This is for Alutai and Haer Wood outlaw, is nothing at all, that silver dollars and copper coins, they have seen, the quality is even higher than the vast majority of the quality of the currency, this thing is again gold and silver, accept what is not acceptable.

Arutai said, “That’s a good one.”

Zhang Anshi said, “Therefore, the United Money Bank on our side needs to open branches in the middle of the desert, and you must ensure their safety.”

“Naturally.” Arutai said.

Zhang Anshi said, “Of course, purely to ensure safety, or nevertheless, our merchants to the hinterland of the desert, the language between each other is inconvenient, if they violate the law, necessarily to be punished by the law of Daming, and can not be used in the law of the desert.”

This would certainly have been a dispute in later times, but for this era, where there was no concept of sovereignty, it seemed that what to do with the criminals didn’t seem to be a big deal.

What’s more, Alutai and Ha’er Wu outlaw duo, who were already in a weak position, they didn’t care about this at all.

Zhang Anshi then said: ”Since this is the case, then, in order to ensure that the merchants of Daming as well as the attendants and other Han people can be judged after committing crimes, then, there should be no problem for the merchant bank to send out a guard in charge of law and order, should it not be a problem to do so, in the name of a missionary envoy, how about it? You draw a place for the envoy to be stationed, and the Han people stationed there shall not be disturbed by you, and within this place you may trade, besides which, outside this area, you shall also ensure the safety of the Han merchants and Han people, and if there is any friction, it shall be for the envoy to settle it by negotiation with you.”

The two of them, Arutai and Harlwood Outlaw, began to think about it.

They were getting to feel out of place.

First said good to do business, do business then began to talk about the money bank, the money bank finished and said the law, the law talked about, but then said how to maintain the law, to maintain the law on the need for trial and violent institutions, and there is a violent institution, there must be law enforcement in the region, this round and round, motherfuckers …… how it seems to have become a country within a country.

“How much space is needed.”

“A hundred miles around, under the consul, set up a guard, the maximum number of seven thousand five hundred people, how? In Wu Liang Ha’s pasture, that is, close to Liaodong area, set up Desert East comfort division, to the Tartar’s pasture, and set up Desert South comfort division, as for the Warat side, we are also talking about, roughly, is intended to set up two comfort divisions, one is Desert North, one is Desert West.”

Arutai and Harlwood bowed their heads and began to hover.

Ha Er Wu姝� still have doubts, after all, Ha Er Wu姝� three guards, and so completely let the big Ming hand into their own pasture.

As for Alutai, on the contrary, he has no misgivings, in the Tartar Ministry, he has been declining, the other Tartar tribes, may not be willing to serve him, some even defected to the Warat ministry, this time, even if he goes back and gather the old ministries, the future may also have to face the other Tartar ministries of the competitors, but once you get the full support of the Great Ming, it will be completely different.”

On second thought, Arutai took the lead, “May.”

Zhang Anshi said, “Very well, there are some details, in a few days, I will teach people to send them, if everyone agrees, then the contract will be made then, of course, the contract is just a promise as far as it is concerned, it counts for nothing. How to maintain this contract in the future is the crucial thing.”

After dismissing the two, Zhang Anshi hurriedly went to Zhu Di’s place.

Zhu was in a bad mood, thinking of his ancestors, and he felt that he harbored tremendous guilt.

Consequently, this gave Yishuha a headache, and His Majesty, several times, woke up in his sleep, exclaiming under his breath, “Kill the thief.”

This scared him, he was afraid that his majesty would come to a good killing in my dream, don’t cut yourself down in a thin air.

Seeing Zhang Anshi, Zhu Di said, “Have the men and horses not returned yet?”

Zhang Anshi said; “It should be soon, just these two days, your majesty, I have already talked with Alutai and Haer Wu’ou.”

This is something that Zhang Anshi mentioned to Zhu Di.

Zhu Di these days are upset, no mind to pay attention to these, now I did not expect Zhang Anshi so quickly talk, but let Zhu Di some surprise.

“Will this matter come to pass?”

“After the actual battle, they are honest all, I thought …… surely can work.”

Zhu shook his head, “No, what I’m asking is what’s the use of this.”

“There are too many uses.” Zhang Anshi said, “The quality and beauty of my Daming’s goods, the people in the desert want to do business with us, they are bound to use a lot of cows and sheep as well as other goods to exchange, the cows and sheep that we might be able to exchange for just any piece of cloth exceeds the value of the cloth itself.”

Zhu Di said, “The desert has few people, the demand is limited, and how much can we expect these …… to earn?”

“This is natural.” Zhang Anshi said, “But has Your Majesty ever thought that after a long time, these Tartars and the Valar people, after they have exchanged their goods for the needed goods of the Great Ming, and after realizing that if they continue to sell to the west, to Persia as well as to countries such as the Great Eclipse, they will still be able to sell them at a high price, and will still be able to earn a large amount of difference in the price, then… …what would happen? This world, there are many places, is the ship to reach the place that can not, want to sell things, you have to go by land, but the land is far away, the risk is not small, I Ming now power to operate the sea of commerce and trade, is really distracted, then …… this Tartars and the Walar people, it becomes a second-hand trafficker, which can be a big demand. ”

Zhu Di heard, “Silk Road?”

Zhang Anshi said, “Exactly the Silk Road.”

Zhu nodded, “In that case, it can indeed be quite beneficial.”

Zhang Anshi said: “Not only that, the important thing is, this Varadians and Tatars, although now is not my Ming enemy, but they are in the desert, there is no other livelihood, economic vulnerability, so, once the natural disaster, will have to think of ways to loot for a living, my Ming certainly the national strength has far more than them, but encountered a group of desperate outlaws, after all, is still I can’t defend myself against them. Once the trade system began to establish, so that the Walar and Tatar people engaged in a large number of commercial, using their nomadic and migratory ability, we are equal to become their upstream suppliers, they are only two-way dealers, successive dynasties, the interests of the two-way dealers completely dependent on the supplier, such a relationship, more useful than the former pacification, I thought that, once this matter can be done, the desert, and then not my scourge of the Great Ming. Ming’s scourge, but instead become my Ming’s treasure bowl.”

Zhu Di heard, “You kid, you’ve really drilled your eyes into the money.”

Zhang Anshi hemmed and hawed, “Of course, this is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that, if they want to buy Daming’s goods, they will have to use my Daming’s currency, and the money that my Daming mints, not only do they have to use it, but they also need to store it in large quantities, just think about it, your majesty, if we go out to buy something today, will we go to the money changer and exchange it for the money because we need to buy today’s goods? Would we go out shopping today, because we need to buy today’s goods, would we go to the money changer to exchange money, and then go shopping again? No, ordinary people will find a way to store as many coins as possible, and when they want to buy something, they will just take the coins and spend them. The nobles of these various ministries, as well as merchants and businessmen, in the future will only need to take the money minted by my Daming, to use as reserves.”

Zhu said, “What’s the point?”

“The reason why the value of treasury bills has collapsed is because …… well …… treasury bills are like a big ship, which is at sea and in danger of capsizing if it encounters a storm. To put it bluntly, its ability to bear risks is too low. But now, the new coins that I intend to create, then I want to do everything possible, and all the people tied up, now in Annam, Luzon, Java, and in the future, Tartary, Warrat, and Uliangha, and then, after that, through their trade, to go to farther places, so that all the countries of the world, all stored a large number of such coins, your majesty …… which is just like that. Dozens of hundreds of ships, linked together with iron rope, my Ming is the largest one. Once the wind and waves, this ability to resist the wind and waves, compared to the former treasure banknotes do not know how many times more, coupled with the market demand for coins will increase greatly, everyone needs new coins, a large number of new coins, but also stored in Luzon, Tartary, which leads to, even if the new coins put out a little bit more, but also to maintain its value.”

“Back ten thousand steps, even if the new currency appeared huge crisis, your majesty think about it, who is more anxious than us? The court is certainly anxious, the merchant bank is also anxious, but the home base of all the countries in the world, are all this new currency, once the new currency crisis, the great Ming certainly hurt, they are to all of a sudden blood money ah, so I predict, really to that time, their motivation to maintain the new currency, more than my court.”

Zhu Di has always had a grudge against the original Da Ming treasures.

After all, Tai Zu high emperor cool finished, let Jianwen that boy also cool again, the result is to wait until their own ascension to the throne, what …… treasure is finished.

He was extremely interested in this, “So it is, except that we mint coins in gold and silver ……”

Zhang Anshi shook his head, “Your Majesty, everything should be taken step by step, minted coins, then in the future …… find the opportunity to issue paper money again, everyone is willing to accept, this is called warm water boiling frogs.”

Zhu Di said, “If this matter can be accomplished, it is also considered to be beneficial in a thousand years, but you yourself should be careful, these people are very cunning. As for what you do, try your best to do it.”

Zhang Anshi said, “Thank you, Your Majesty.”

Just at this moment, a eunuch hurriedly trotted in, “Your Majesty, the thief catchers …… are back, back.”

Zhu Di heard it, greatly invigorated, he brightly rose, arrow step out, mouth said: “I want to see, that dog thief where.”

At this time a few waiting outside, accompanied by the driver of the Hanlin also busy followed.

Sure enough, a group of people was seen returning.

The person at the head is Zhu Yong, Zhu Yong saw the great carriage of the Son of Heaven, startled, hastily stepped forward, salute: “I ……”

“Where is the rebel?”

Zhu Yong sweated profusely and said, “The rebels …… rebels …… did not ah, I did not hold …… it.”

At these words, Zhu Di’s face instantly rose in great disappointment as he glanced back at Zhang Anshi.

Hearing this, the Hanlin on the side couldn’t help but say, “This is deceiving the top and the bottom, this is deceiving the king and ignoring the top!”

Zhu Yong was so scared that he was drenched in cold sweat.

But at this moment, yet another eunuch said, “Your Majesty, there is a group of men and horses from the Inner Thousand Households, who have also returned, saying that they are escorting the rebels back.”

Zhu’s entire body was confused.

Giddy up.

He glared at Zhang Anshi, “What’s going on?”

“This matter ……” Zhang Anshi sighed and said, “It is a long story, please your majesty …… allow me to explain in detail, I …… deserved to die, indeed deceived the king and ignored the emperor.”

At these words, Zhu Di was shocked and speechless.

Deceive the king and disregard the emperor? This is not Zhang Anshi’s style ah, this guy so shoot dead, he dares to do such a thing?
