Back To The Beginning Of Ming To Do Charity

I don't know when it started, some strange rumors suddenly spread in Zhuangzi.

Gouzi and Erliang are playmates of the same age. Sometimes they work together, they often sleep together, and they talk more than others. That day Gouzi squatted in the yard digging weeds, and said to Erliang: "They It's all being passed on."

Erliang: "What is the story?"

Gouzi said, "They said that the boss was sent from above."

Erliang: "...? What do you mean?"

Gouzi scratched his ears and cheeks, trying to find a good excuse, but he had no ink in his stomach, so after thinking for a long time, he could only say, "It means that my boss is not human."

Erliang: "...Who?! Why is my young master not human! I don't think they are human! The young master gave them food and drink, but gave them courage! How dare you arrange the young master! One or two are itchy!"

Gouzi quickly said, "That's not what it means!"

Erliang: "What does that mean?"

Gouzi whispered: "Think about it, the owner bought such a big property at a young age, let's not talk about it, let's say that the owner has taken in so many people, even the disabled have not been driven away, can ordinary people do it?" ?”

Erliang and Youyou proudly puffed up their chests: "My young master is definitely not an ordinary person!"

Gouzi: "They said that the master was sent by the Bodhisattva."

He didn't say anything more outrageous, and some people said that the boss was a Bodhisattva descending to earth.

He was stunned for a moment, as a person close to Lin Yuan, he also felt that such a statement made sense, so he said to Gouzi: "I have been with the young master since I was a child, and the young master has been a kind person since I was a child, but I always ask him for help." , It's rare that you don't deserve it, it's best to do things by the young master's side, the young master doesn't pick and choose, but always treats people with a solid eye."

"That's all it used to be." Erliang analyzed carefully, "But when I came to Wucheng, the young master saw that the refugees were pitiful, so he asked them to come and repair the house. After the house was repaired, the refugees didn't want to leave, so the young master told them to stay."

Clap your hands two by one: "What they said is very true! The young master has a heart like a Bodhisattva!"

After Gouzi put the words back, everyone felt that the owner was kind since childhood, what do young children know?There must be no one to teach this. Isn't this self-taught without a teacher, born with a benevolent heart?

So the rumors went back and forth several times, and when they became untrue, it turned out that Lin Yuan was originally a good god in the sky. He didn't want to see the suffering of the people in the world, so he resigned from his job to the Emperor of Heaven, and wanted to go down to save the common people. Of course, the Emperor of Heaven couldn't bear him. He tried to persuade him to stay, but the God of Goodness also had a big temper, and he didn't show the Emperor of Heaven any face, so he sneaked down to the mortal world.

Someone asked: "But the boss also drove away a person, what can't the good god do?"

At this time, someone said: "People have likes and dislikes, and gods naturally have likes and dislikes. The Dragon King spreads the clouds and rains. If you provoke his old man, he will tell you to suffer severe drought or flood. Isn't the Dragon King a good god?"

After the history was made up, Lin Yuan's background was also made up indiscriminately.

The explanations were rather confusing, but later they seemed to be unified by themselves. That is when Lin Yuan's mother was pregnant, she dreamed of a golden light in the sky, and her mother was frightened and terrified, so she knelt down and asked the great immortal why she came.

Daxian pointed to her belly and said: "There is a good son in the sky, who entered your belly tonight. This is a great fortune. When this son is born, you will also succeed."

So Lin Yuan's mother died after giving birth to a child. She didn't die, but she completed her mission, had a great fortune, became a fairy and ascended to heaven.

Besides, when Lin Yuan was born, there was only a sound of thunder, and Lin Yuan was born smoothly. As soon as he was born, the dark clouds in the sky dispersed by themselves, the sun filled the earth, and the phoenix led the birds in the forest. Congratulations, even the fish don't stay where they should be. If they want to jump ashore, they want to be closer to Lin Yuan.

The rumors were passed on and on, and they finally reached Lin Yuan's ears.

Lin Yuan's first reaction when he heard these rumors was "Could someone want to mess with him?" But after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was unlikely. After all, such rumors were beneficial to him no matter what.

The West talks about the divine right of kings, which is to elevate the king above human beings.

In our country, when we talk about the real dragon emperor, we equate the king with the god.

This is a kind of spiritual rule, just like the White Lotus Sect, it was just a very simple belief at the beginning.

But the more convinced the congregation is, the easier it is to be incited.

After Lin Yuan finished listening, he didn't know what kind of expression to show.

These rumors are probably caused by the fact that people in Zhuangzi have no daily entertainment activities, coupled with their low level of education and deep-rooted feudal superstition thinking.

"It must have been arranged deliberately." Lin Yuan said to Jiang Gui.

Jiang Gui is also a good person, he nodded and said: "It's definitely not something they can make up, but I don't know why that person made up such a thing."

The person who made up the story must be in Zhuangzi, but there are so many people in Zhuangzi, and it has been passed on by word of mouth, but no one knows where it came from in the first place.

But Jiang Gui asked people to inquire a few times, and the person who made up the story fell into the trap.

He slipped out of the dormitory in the middle of the night and squatted outside the courtyard door where Lin Yuan lived, probably looking for a suitable opportunity to get in, but the lights inside were kept off, and the people inside hadn't woken up, so he just crouched there with his neck curled up , It's pitiful and funny to hold.

It was Jiang Gui who saw him when he was going in and out, and carried him into Lin Yuan's room.

This man only looks at his appearance, he can be in his fifties. His physique looks good, but his face, hair and beard are already old. He didn't dare to sit for a person who was easy to get in touch with. When he saw Lin Yuan, he fell to his knees on the ground. Before Lin Yuan opened his mouth to speak, this person explained everything by himself.

"My master is a dragon and a phoenix among people!" He bit him to death and said, "This background is worthy of my master."

Lin Yuan asked him, "What good will it do you if you spread the word like this?"

The man walked over a few steps on his knees: "The little old man is fifty-two now, and he will not live long. I just want to see this troubled world calm down and the world return to one. The owner's way has been well-organized, and everyone has their own way. Each team performs its duties, rewards and punishments are measured, the owner has high ambitions, and the little old man is willing to do his best."

Lin Yuan stood up, helped the man up, and asked with a smile, "Where is Mr. from?"

It wasn't until Lin Yuan finished asking that the old man's name was Song Shizhao, and his ancestors were officials of the Song Dynasty. Later, the Song Dynasty perished and the main family died for the country. They were preserved, but even if they were preserved, they still remembered that they were Song Dynasty officials. The people of the country are always thinking about opposing the Yuan Dynasty and returning to the Song Dynasty.

They live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, hiding in secret, and some younger generations have gone down the mountain, and many people have left one after another.

They are all young and young, who wants to stay in the deep mountains and old forests for a lifetime?

It is said that it is against the Yuan Dynasty and restored the Song Dynasty. Where is the Song Dynasty?Where is the royal blood?On the contrary, who will support him?

This Song Shizhao was the last one to leave the deep mountain, and he was also the oldest one. He didn't think that he couldn't turn back, nor did he think that he had all the abilities but no one appreciated him, he just felt that it was not the right time.

When he felt that the time had come and he went down the mountain, he became a refugee because he had no food or money.

"You mean, you're helping me win people's hearts?" Lin Yuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Song Shizhao said seriously: "Boss, do you think these rumors are useless?"

Lin Yuan shook his head: "It's useful, but..."

Song Shizhao: "Are you afraid that if it spreads at this time, it will be discovered by the dog court?"

Zhuangzi's entry and exit are strictly controlled. Ordinary people can't go out at all, and they can't communicate with the outside world. This worry is unfounded, Lin Yuan shook his head.

He just thought it felt weird, and he couldn't take it.

Song Shizhao said, "Boss, do you think that if you give them food and clothing, keep them from starving, and set rules, they will be honest and return to their hearts?"

Lin Yuan looked at Song Shizhao: "Please tell me, old man, I would like to hear more about it."

Song Shizhao finally felt the attitude of Corporal Lin Yuan Lixian, and touched his gray goatee, but his eyes were shining brightly: "Everyone is the same, they always have milk and they are mothers."

Lin Yuan: "..." Hmm... the words are not rough.

Song Shizhao said again: "They have never read books, don't know morality and shame, know what loyalty is? What is morality?"

Song Shizhao: "Boss, they listen to you now because you are in charge of food and people. They are afraid of starvation and death."

"You have to let them know that only by following you will they have hope, they will be obedient, and they will know loyalty." Song Shizhao said, "Otherwise, why did the emperors of all dynasties say that they were born with visions and were born extraordinary?"

Song Shizhao said: "They think you are a good god, so they will respect you and obey you. They think that good gods also have likes and dislikes, so they dare not disobey your orders."

Lin Yuan understood that Song Shizhao was telling him that if he wanted people to obey him, admire him, and not dare to oppose him in a short period of time, he was brainwashing these people.

And the brainwashing method is also very simple, that is, to use their traditional superstition to lead them to think that Lin Yuan is a good god, and following Lin Yuan will lead a good life, and this good life can only be brought by Lin Yuan, and others will not. Not coming.

"Boss, in the second year of Taiding, Zhao Chou fought under the banner of Maitreya Buddha." Song Shizhao said, "In the third year of Zhiyuan, Zhu Guangqing fought under the banner of the birth of Dingguang Buddha, let alone the fourth year of Zhiyuan. .”

Song Shizhao: "The moves are never old."

Lin Yuan smiled: "So, I have to thank you for being old?"

Song Shizhao's expression was very steady, but the slightly trembling little finger of his left hand revealed his excitement at the moment, and his voice was a little hoarse: "I would like to be driven by my master, but if I don't obey, I will die."

"Mr. Song is serious." Lin Yuan shouted, "Two liang!"

Erliang hurriedly responded outside: "Young master, what do you want?"

Lin Yuan said: "Clean up a room for this old gentleman, he will live here from now on."

Erliang didn't know what happened, but he didn't ask any further questions, and took Song Shizhao to the side house.

When he was leaving, Song Shizhao kept turning his head to look at Lin Yuan, almost turning his head three times at a step. Just looking at the mood, those who didn't know thought Song Shizhao was a newlywed. Lin Yuan and others left, so he poured a cup of tea to calm himself down.

Perhaps it was because Lin Yuan grew up under the red flag that Lin Yuan was resistant to this method?

He laughed at himself and drank his tea.

He thought about it all night, and had to admit that Song Shizhao was right.

A cohesive team is stronger than one without.

This cohesion can be a unified goal or the same pursuit, but the most guaranteed is the supreme belief.

But Lin Yuan didn't want to develop it into a doctrine, he had no interest in it.

Even if we want to get rid of feudal superstition and pursue scientific development, it must be after people have enough to eat and drink enough to start eradicating illiteracy.

not now.

Lin Yuan lay on the bed and looked at the beams above his head. He had a rare insomnia all night. When he woke up the next day, when Er Liang saw him, he was startled by his listless appearance. Lin Yuansheng's face was tender. Although he was a few years older, he did not blow After being exposed to the wind and sun, she looks much whiter than ordinary people, and her lower eyelids turn blue after a night of sleep, with an over-indulgent appearance.

In the end, he still didn't care about those rumors, and Song Shizhao was also left behind by Lin Yuan as an aide.

Song Shizhao still has some skills, he has a good memory, it can be said that he has a photographic memory, he is also good at drawing maps, and has different views on things.

Song Shizhao believes that when a person dies, the coffin is closed, and when he dies, he dies. There is no reincarnation, and there is no cause and effect. The so-called reincarnation of cause and effect is what people say to deceive themselves.

He also believed that there are no gods in the sky, and if there were gods in the sky, the gods would not come to help mortals.

Lin Yuan sometimes felt that if Song Shizhao's behavior was not normal, maybe Song Shizhao also came here through time travel.

Chatting with Song Shizhao was a kind of relaxation for Lin Yuan.

Because of the limitations of the times, Lin Yuan couldn't say a lot to Brother Dao and the others.

Before Lin Yuan could react, the cold winter came. The temperature that had dropped sharply after the beginning of winter was even lower, and the carbon had already been released. It was clear that there was nothing wrong last year, but today there were a few cold sicknesses, so we had to take care of it first. .

Jiang Guang finally sent the remaining 500 people over, and Chen Bosong and the others also brought their guys over.

Now Zhuangzi has a total of more than 300 people.

Not too much, but not too little.

After all, the total population of the Yuan Dynasty does not exceed [-] million, and the land is vast and abundant, in other words, the land is vast and the population is sparse.

When Fang Guozhen rebelled, there were only a thousand people around him.

Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief with the increase in population.

Even in winter, the training can't stop. The men in Zhuangzi are used to running morning exercises at dawn, finishing the run hungry, then going to the cafeteria to have breakfast, and continuing to train after eating, and they can't relax for a moment.

This kind of day-to-day training is still effective, and the newcomers can't see it for the time being, but the people in the original Zhuangzi have discovered the difference.

The food intake has increased, and the brute force has also increased. For the same distance, I used to be panting non-stop, but now I can't even breathe.

I used to lie on the ground unable to move after training, but now I still feel steamy and full of strength after training.

Although they didn't eat very well, Lin Yuan has been working hard on their food.

Carbs, protein, fat.

These three are unshakable every day - although the fat intake is very small.

Then there are the vitamins, depending on what you have on hand.

Although I don't know if there are vitamins in the dried fruit, but Lin Yuan still exposed people to the sun a lot in summer, and in winter, each person can have a small handful. If you eat it carefully, you can still eat it for a while.

Probably because they were all refugees, the new 500 people quickly integrated into the group. This is also proud of the regulations in Zhuangzi. If the report is established, the person who is reported will be punished, and the whistleblower will be rewarded.

It was really chaotic for a while at the beginning, Lin Yuan got angry twice, and ordered the troublemaker to take off his pants and beat the board in front of everyone, and then these people calmed down.

There were also some small squad leaders who suddenly became small officials, and felt that they were not good enough, and those who flaunted their might and bullied others, they all brought it up individually, set up a labor reform team, and worked from morning to night every day. Only then can I go back to the class - but I won't be the class leader.

The small leaders were selected by Lin Yuan, or Brother Dao and the others.

Very undemocratic.

But Lin Yuan did not dare to be democratic at this time.

It's not that he's out of his mind.

If these people elect a squad leader by themselves, can they also elect a platoon leader or even a battalion commander?

When they found out, the original status can be provided by the people below.

So what changes will they make?

Lin Yuan didn't dare to gamble.

If you make a wrong bet, you will be in a deep abyss. If you spend time and energy making wedding dresses for others, you will not be able to get a good word in the end.

"This year the Yellow River broke its embankment, and the imperial court conscripted 15 civilians to repair the Yellow River, and sent troops along the banks to suppress it." Song Shizhao told Lin Yuan, "After the year has passed, there should be actions everywhere."

Lin Yuan asked him: "Mr. Song, who do you think has the power to compete in this world?"

Song Shizhao didn't say any polite words either: "The White Lotus Sect and the Maitreya Sect can barely be counted as a Ming Sect."

Lin Yuan smiled: "Now there is a Bailian leader in the north."

Song Shizhao nodded: "I've heard that Han Shantong seems to be recruiting a lot of disciples. The banner is "Maitreya Buddha is born" and "Ming King is born".

Lin Yuan brought Song Shizhao a cup of hot tea: "What do you think, sir?"

Song Shizhao: "I suspect that the one-eyed stone man is his handwriting."

Lin Yuan gave Song Shizhao a thumbs-up in his heart, and then asked, "Sir, do you think he will rebel?"

"Naturally, it will be reversed." Song Shizhao said, "He has settled down a few years ago. Now that the people on both sides of the Yellow River are struggling, it is a good time."

For Han Shantong, it can only be said that he was unlucky. He was too ambitious at the beginning, and everyone knew it, and he didn't think about a way out.

Song Shizhao said: "At that time, it will also be a great opportunity for you, my boss."

Lin Yuan pretended to be stupid: "How can I not understand what Mr. said?"

Song Shizhao smiled lowly: "My master doesn't have to play charades with me, just ask the little old man to guess, which piece does my master want?"

"Gaoyou?"

Lin Yuan really couldn't hold back anymore, he looked at Song Shizhao in disbelief: "How did you know, Mister?"

Song Shizhao said: "Most of the people in Zhuangzi came from different backgrounds, only the group of more than 50 people in Xinghua, since the owner accepted them, there must be a reason for the owner. They are from the salt people, and they are just lowly people. Where is it worth the owner's trouble?"

"Xinghua has salt, so it's reasonable for the owner to want it."

"However, Xinghua is prone to strong winds, and the land is salty, which is not conducive to cultivation."

Song Shizhao: "Gaoyou is not far from Xinghua, the land is fertile, and it is known as the land of fish and rice."

Lin Yuan cupped his hands and saluted Song Shizhao seriously. He had to admit that he really underestimated this person before.

Song Shizhao also said seriously: "Because of this, I think my boss is a person who can be useful."

"I wonder if the owner has a plan?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "The secret must not be revealed."

Song Shizhao did not continue to ask.

He also knew that Lin Yuan would definitely not regard him as a confidant, at least not now.

If you want to gain Lin Yuan's trust, you must make achievements.

For Lin Yuan, who knows the history, he clearly knows that Han Shantong and the others will rebel in May next year, and the Yuan court will put the most spiritual power on Han Shantong and the others. At that time, it is also their timing.

So he found Zhang Shicheng and his brothers.

Zhang Jiusi and the others have been working with others for the past few months.

Training, fishing or hunting, although every day is busy, it is also fulfilling. After finishing the work every night, you can gather around the fire to brag and chew some beans. You don't have to worry about where your livelihood will be tomorrow, and you don't have to worry about being deducted. There is no rice for wages.

Zhang Jiusi couldn't even remember his days in Xinghua.

It seems that being beaten by the supervisor and being detained was a long time ago.

"I called you here because I want to ask you something." Lin Yuan smiled and said to Zhang Jiusi, "You sit down first."

He also said to Zhang Jiusi's younger brothers: "You are welcome to sit too."

A few of them are still a little restrained.

After all, Lin Yuan is the boss, how can there be such a soft-spoken boss?

Lin Yuan said, "Have you been in Zhuangzi for more than half a year?"

Zhang Jiusi is the eldest brother, so he was the one who spoke, "It's three months away from one year."

Lin Yuan asked: "It's been so long, do you want to go back and have a look?"

Zhang Jiusi was taken aback, he didn't realize it for a while, the boss...does he want to drive them back?

Lin Yuan also found that Zhang Jiusi's expression was wrong, and said quickly: "I heard you mention it before, and I heard you said that the Xinghua Yan people are miserable."

Zhang Jiuqi hurriedly said: "Exactly! That son of a bitch Yandu! He never treats us Yan people as human beings!"

Zhang Jiuwu: "Salt people get up early and stay late, they are sick all over, and they can't even afford a full meal."

Lin Yuan sighed, with a look of compassion: "I want to help, but I'm afraid no one will trust me."

Zhang Jiusi and the others chattered, "The master wants to bring out all the salt people?"

"Boss, that's not easy!"

"The food for so many people is probably not enough!"

Lin Yuan only said: "Which of you would like to go back?"

Several people looked at each other, and finally Zhang Jiusi stood up and said: "Master, you will do as you ordered."

Lin Yuan said: "I'll call Brother Dao, Brother Yang, and Da Li to go back with you to see the current situation. If it's feasible, we can save more people. What do you think?"

Zhang Jiusi's eyes lit up.

I couldn't speak for a moment, finally lowered my head, choked up and said: "Master, I didn't know that there are people like you in the world."

He also has some acquaintances who are staying in Xinghua.

It's impossible to say that I don't feel guilty after being here for so long.

He has come to live a good life, while his friends are still suffering in Xinghua, without his relief, they should live even harder.

As long as the boss takes them over, all of them will be fine.

The author has something to say: Democracy is impossible.

If you take too many steps, it is easy to pull the egg.
