I don't know when it started, when Zhuangzi suddenly spread some strange rumors.
Gouzi and Erliang are playmates of the same age. Sometimes they work together, often sleep together, and talk more than others. The dog squatted in the yard to dig weeds that day, and said to Erliang, "They It's spreading."
Twenty-two: "What is it?"
Gouzi said, "They said that the owner was sent from above."
Erliang: "... ? What do you mean?"
The dog scratched his ears and his cheeks, trying to find a good word, but there was no ink in his stomach. After thinking for a long time, he could only murmur: "It means that the owner is not a human being."
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 he gave them courage! How dare you arrange the young master! One or two is itchy skin!"
The dog said quickly, "That's not what you mean!"
Twenty-two: "What does that mean?"
Gouzi whispered: "You think, the owner bought such a large property at a young age. Let's not talk about this, let's just say that the owner has taken in so many people, and even the disabled have not driven them away. Can ordinary people do it? ?"
Erliang and proudly raised their chests: "My young master is definitely not an ordinary person!"
Gouzi: "They said that the owner was sent by the Bodhisattva."
He didn't say anything more outrageous, and some people said that the owner was a Bodhisattva descended from the world.
He was stunned for a second. As someone close to Lin Yuan, he even felt that this statement was very reasonable, so he said to Gouzi: "I have followed the young master since I was a child, and the young master has been a benevolent person since he was a child. , there are few things that should not be done, it is best to do things by the side of the young master, the young master is not picky, but all people are sincere."
"It used to be like this." Erliang carefully analyzed, "But when I arrived in Wucheng, the young master asked the refugees 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."
Two by two, they slapped one by one: "What they said is very true! The young master has a heart like a bodhisattva!"
Gouzi put the words back, and everyone thought that the owner had been kind since he was a child, so what does a child know? There must be no one to teach this, isn't this just self-taught without a teacher, born with a benevolent heart
So the rumors were circulated several times, and when they were not true, they turned into Lin Yuan, who was originally a good god in heaven. Seeing that the people in the world were suffering, he resigned from the errand to the Emperor of Heaven and wanted to go down to earth to save the common people. Of course, the Emperor of Heaven couldn’t bear him. Retained, but the good deity is also very temperamental, and did not give the Emperor face, and sneaked into the mortal world.
Someone asked: "But the owner also drove away a person, what a good god can't do?"
At this time, someone said: "People have likes and dislikes, and gods naturally have likes and dislikes. Lord Dragon walks clouds and rains. If you provoke his old man, he will call you a severe drought or flood. Isn't the Dragon Lord a good god?"
The origin was made up, and Lin Yuan's origin was also made up.
The explanations were confusing, but they seemed to have unified themselves later, that is, when Lin Yuan's mother was pregnant, she dreamed of a golden light in the sky, and her mother was frightened and frightened, so she knelt down and asked why Daxian came
Daxian pointed to her belly and said, "There is a good son in heaven, who will enter your belly tonight. This is a great creation. This son is born, and you are also successful."
So Lin Yuan's mother gave birth to a child and died. She is not dead, but she has completed her task.
Besides, when Lin Yuan was born, he only heard a sound of thunder, and Lin Yuan was born smoothly. As soon as he was born, the dark clouds in the sky dispersed by himself, the sun covered the earth, and the phoenix led the birds through the forest. Congratulations, even the fish are no longer where they should be. If you want to jump ashore, you want to be closer to Lin Yuan.
The rumors spread, and they finally reached Lin Yuan's ears.
Lin Yuan's first reaction when he heard these rumors was, "Would anyone 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 in any way.
In the West, the divine empowerment of the monarchy is to elevate the monarch to the level of man.
In our country, when we talk about the true dragon and the emperor, it means that the king and the god are the same.
This is a kind of spiritual rule, just like the White Lotus Sect, it was just a very simple belief in the beginning.
But the more convinced the congregation is, the easier it is to be incited.
After Lin Yuan heard it, he didn't know what kind of expression to show for a while.
These rumors are probably due to the fact that the people in Zhuangzi have no daily entertainment activities, coupled with their low education level, and the deep-rooted feudal superstition thinking.
"Someone should have arranged it deliberately." Lin Yuan said to Jiang Gui.
Jiang Gui is also a good person, he nodded and said: "This is 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 is spread by word of mouth, but no one knows where it came from in the first place.
However, Jiang Gui asked people to inquire a few times, and the person who made up the words fell into the trap.
He slipped out of the dormitory in the middle of the night and squatted just outside the gate of Lin Yuan's yard, probably trying to find a suitable opportunity to enter, but the lights inside kept going out and the people inside didn't wake up, so he squatted there with his neck shrunk. , which is pitiful and funny to pick up.
It was Jiang Gui who saw him when he was going in and out, and took him into Lin Yuan's room.
This person only looks at his appearance. He can be around fifty. His physique looks good, but his face and hair and beard are already old. He didn't dare to sit, and he fell to his knees on the ground when he saw Lin Yuan. Before Lin Yuan opened his mouth to speak, this person explained it all by himself.
"The owner is a dragon and a phoenix among people!" he said, biting to death, "This is the one who is worthy of the owner."
Lin Yuan asked him, "What good will it do to you if you pass it on like this?"
This man walked on his knees a few steps and said, "Little old man is now fifty-two, and his life is not long. In my lifetime, I only hope to see this troubled world recover and the world to be united. The owner has come this way, in a clear and orderly manner, and everyone has his own way. Each team performs their own duties, rewards and punishments are appropriate, the owner has lofty aspirations, 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.
It was only after Lin Yuan asked, that the old man's name was Song Shizhao. His ancestor was an official of the Song Dynasty. Later, the Song Dynasty died and the main family died. They were saved. The people of , always thinking about anti-Yuan and returning to Song.
They lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests, hidden away, and some juniors went down the mountain, and many people left one after another.
They are all young teenagers, who wants to stay in the mountains and forests for a lifetime
It is said that it is against the Yuan and the Song, where is Song? Where is the royal bloodline? Reverse and support who
This Song Shizhao was the last one to leave the mountains, and he was also the oldest one. He didn't think he couldn't resist, nor did he feel that he had a talent but no one appreciated him, he just felt that it was not the right time.
When he felt that the time was up and he went down the mountain, he became a refugee because he had no food and no 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: "Master, do you think these rumors are useless?"
Lin Yuan shook his head: "It's useful, but..."
Song Shizhao: "Are you afraid that if you spread it out at this time, it will definitely be discovered by the Gou court?"
Zhuangzi's entry and exit are strictly controlled. Ordinary people can't get out at all, and they can't communicate with the outside world. This worry is unfounded, and Lin Yuan shook his head.
He just thought it felt weird, and he kind of couldn't take it.
Song Shizhao said, "Master, do you think you feed them and keep them from going hungry, and you set the rules so that they can be honest and go back to their hearts?"
Lin Yuan looked at Song Shizhao: "Sir, please tell me, I would like to hear the details."
Song Shizhao finally felt the attitude of Corporal Lin Yuanlixian, and touched his gray goatee, but his eyes were full of light: "The common people are all the same, always having milk is a mother."
Lin Yuan: "..." Well... the words are not rough.
Song Shizhao added: "They haven't read books, they don't know morality and integrity, and they know what is loyalty and righteousness? What is morality?"
Song Shizhao: "Master, they listen to you now, just because you are in charge of food and people. They are afraid of starvation and death."
"You have to let them know that with you, there is hope, only then will they be obedient, and only then will they know loyalty." Song Shizhao said, "Otherwise, why did the emperors of all dynasties spread the vision that they were born from the sky, and they were born extraordinary?"
Song Shizhao said: "They think that 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 in the short term, admire him, and dare not oppose him, he was brainwashing these people.
The method of brainwashing is also very simple. It is to use their existing traditional superstition to guide them to think that Lin Yuan is a good god, and they will have a good life with Lin Yuan, and this good life can only be brought by Lin Yuan, others will bring Not coming.
"Dongjia, in the second year of Taiding, Zhao Chou fought against the banner of Maitreya Buddha." Song Shizhao said, "In the third year of Zhiyuan, Zhu Guangqing played the banner of the birth of Dingguang Buddha, not to mention that the vests in the fourth year of Zhiyuan were all inscribed with Buddha characters. ."
Song Shizhao: "The moves never get old."
Lin Yuan smiled: "So, I have to thank you for being old?"
Song Shizhao's expression was very steady, but his slightly trembling little finger on his left hand revealed his excitement at this time, and his voice was a little hoarse: "I would like to be driven by the owner, but if you don't do it, you will die."
"Mr. Song is serious." Lin Yuan shouted, "Two two!"
Erliang quickly responded outside: "Master, what is your order?"
Lin Yuan said, "Make a room for this old gentleman, and he will live here from now on."
Erliang didn't know what happened, but didn't ask much, and took Song Shizhao to the side house.
When he left, Song Shizhao kept turning his head to look at Lin Yuan, almost three times a step. Just looking at the mood, those who didn't know thought Song Shizhao was the bride.
Probably because he grew up under the red flag, so Lin Yuan would be resistant to this method
He laughed at himself and drank a belly of tea.
He thought about it all night and had to admit that Song Shizhao was right.
A team with cohesion will be stronger than one without.
This cohesive force can be a unified goal or the same pursuit, but the most secure thing is the supreme belief.
But Lin Yuan didn't want to develop it into a doctrine, he had no interest in this.
Even if we want to get rid of feudal superstition and pursue scientific development, it must be after people have enough food and drink to start literacy.
not now.
Lin Yuan was lying on the bed looking at the beam above his head. He had a rare night of insomnia. When he got up the next day, he was startled by his listlessness when he saw him. Lin Yuansheng's face was tender. Having been exposed to the wind and sun, he looks much whiter than ordinary people, and his lower eyelids turned blue after a night of sleepless nights, looking like he was overindulgent.
In the end, he did not 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 and can be said to be unforgettable. He is also good at drawing maps and has different views on things.
Song Shizhao believes that when a person dies, the coffin is concluded, and when he dies, he dies, there is no reincarnation, and there is no cause and effect.
He also believes that there are no gods in the sky, and if there are gods in the sky, then the gods will not come to help mortals.
Lin Yuan sometimes felt that if Song Shizhao hadn't behaved normally, maybe Song Shizhao had also come through.
Talking with Song Shizhao was a kind of relaxation for Lin Yuan.
Because of the limitations of the times, Lin Yuan had a lot of things to say 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 he was fine last year, but today he had a few colds, so he could only raise it first. .
Jiang Guang finally sent the remaining 500 people over, and Chen Bosong and the others also brought the guys over.
Now Zhuang Zitong has more than 1,300 people.
Although not too much, but not too little.
After all, the total population of the Yuan Dynasty is not more than 100 million.
When Fang Guozhen rebelled, there were more than a thousand people around.
Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief at the increase in population.
Even in winter, the training can’t be stopped. The men in Zhuangzi are used to running morning exercises as soon as the sun rises. After running on an empty stomach, they go to the cafeteria to have breakfast. After eating, they continue to train without letting up for a moment.
This 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 found the difference.
The appetite has increased, and the brute force has also increased. For the same distance, I used to run gasping for breath, but now I can't even breathe.
I used to lie on the ground and couldn't move after training, but now I feel steamy and full of strength after training.
Although they didn't eat very well, Lin Yuan has been working hard on their food.
Carbohydrates, proteins, fats.
All three of these are available every day—albeit with very little fat intake.
Then there are vitamins, depending on what you have in hand.
Although I don't know if the dried fruit still has vitamins, Lin Yuan still causes people to get sunburned a lot in summer, and in winter, each person can have a small handful, and if you eat it carefully, you can eat it for a while.
Probably because they were all from refugees, the new 500 people quickly integrated into the group. This is also proud of the regulations in Zhuangzi. Everyone does their own thing every day. , if the report is established, the person who is reported will be punished, and the person who will be reported will be rewarded.
It was really chaotic for a while at the beginning. Lin Yuan got angry twice and asked people to take off the troublemaker's pants and beat the board in front of everyone. After that, these talents became honest.
There are also some junior squad leaders who suddenly became minor officials, and felt that they were not good enough. Those who showed off their might and bullied others, all brought it up individually and set up a reform-through-labor team. They worked every day from morning to night. It's time to go back to the class - but you won't be the class leader.
All the little leaders were chosen by Lin Yuan, or they were chosen by Brother Dao.
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 still elect a platoon leader or even a battalion leader
When they found out, the original status could be provided by the people below.
So what changes will they make
Lin Yuan didn't dare to gamble.
If the bet is wrong, it will be an abyss. If you work hard to make wedding dresses for others, you will not be able to get a good word in the end.
"This year the Yellow River burst its banks, and the imperial court recruited 150,000 people to repair the Yellow River, and sent troops along the banks to suppress it." Song Shizhao said to Lin Yuan, "After the new year, there should be actions everywhere."
Lin Yuan asked him, "Mr. Song, who do you think has the power to compete in the world today?"
Song Shizhao didn't say anything polite either: "The White Lotus Sect and Maitreya Sect can barely count as a Ming Sect."
Lin Yuan smiled: "Nowadays, there is a white lotus leader in the north."
Song Shizhao nodded: "I heard that Han Shantong seems to be a disciple of the wide collection, and the banner is "Maitreya Buddha is born" and "King Ming 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 asked, "Sir, do you think he will rebel?"
"Naturally it will be the opposite." Song Shizhao said, "He had already settled a few years ago. Now that people on both sides of the Yellow River are struggling to live, it is a good time."
Han Shantong can only be said to be unlucky. He has too much ambition at the start, everyone knows it, and he has no idea of a retreat.
Song Shizhao said: "At that time, it was also a great time for you, the owner."
Lin Yuan pretended to be stupid: "Why can't I understand what Mr. said?"
Song Shizhao laughed softly: "The owner doesn't need to play dumb riddles with me, ask the little old man to guess, which piece does the owner want?"
"Gaoyou?"
Lin Yuan really couldn't hold it anymore, he looked at Song Shizhao in disbelief: "How do you know, sir?"
Song Shizhao said: "Most of the people in Zhuangzi come from different origins, only the group of more than fifty people in Xinghua, since the Dong family accepts them, there must be a reason for the Dong family, they are from the salt people, and they are just lowly people. , where is it worth the owner's trouble?"
"Xinghua has salt, and the owner wants to be justified."
"But Xinghua is prone to strong winds, and the salty soil is not conducive to farming."
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 handed over his hands and saluted Song Shizhao seriously. He had to admit that he really underestimated this person before.
Song Shizhao also said sternly: "Because of this, I feel that the owner is a useful person."
"I wonder if the owner has a plan?"
Lin Yuan smiled and said, "The secret cannot be revealed."
Song Shizhao did not continue to ask questions.
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 history, he clearly knows that Han Shantong and the others will rebel in May next year. At that time, the Yuan court will put the most spiritual power on Han Shantong and them. At that time, it is also their time.
So he found Zhang Shicheng and his brothers.
Zhang Jiusi and the others have been doing things with others for the past few months.
Training, fishing or hunting, every day is busy, but also full, every night after work, you can gather around the fire to brag about cows, chew some beans, don't worry about where your livelihood will be tomorrow, and don't worry about being deducted Wages are nothing.
Zhang Jiu Si couldn't even remember the days when he was in Xinghua.
It seems that being beaten by the supervisor and being deducted are a long time ago.
"I called you here because I want to ask you something." Lin Yuan smiled and said to Zhang Jiu Si, "You sit first."
Then he said to Zhang Jiusi's younger brothers: "You are also seated, don't be polite."
A few of them are still somewhat restrained.
After all, Lin Yuan is the owner, how can there be such a soft-spoken owner
Lin Yuan said, "It's been more than half a year since you came to Zhuangzi?"
Zhang Jiusi is the eldest brother, so naturally he said, "It's a year away from three months."
Lin Yuan asked, "It's been so long, do you want to go back and have a look?"
Zhang Jiu Si was stunned for a moment, he didn't react for a while, the owner... did you mean to drive them back
Lin Yuan also noticed that Zhang Jiusi's expression was wrong, and said quickly, "I heard you mentioned it earlier, and I heard you say that Xinghua Yanmin is miserable."
Zhang Jiuqi said quickly: "Exactly! That son of a bitch salt governor! Never treat us salt people as human beings!"
Zhang Jiuwu: "Yanmin wakes up early in the morning and is in the dark. He is in pain, and he can't even afford a full meal."
Lin Yuan sighed and looked a little pitiful: "I have the heart to help, but I'm afraid no one can be trusted."
Zhang Jiusi and the others said in a fuss: "The owner wants to bring out all the Yanmins?"
"Master, that's not easy!"
"Those many people, I'm afraid there is not enough food!"
Lin Yuan only said, "Who among you would like to go back?"
Several people looked at each other, and finally Zhang Jiusi stood up and said, "Master, it's what you ordered."
Lin Yuan said, "I'll call Brother Dao, Brother Yang, and Da Li to accompany you to go back with you. Let's see the current situation. If it is feasible, we will save more people. What do you think?"
Zhang Jiusi's eyes lit up.
He was speechless for a while, and finally lowered his head and choked: "Master, I didn't know that there really are people like you in the world."
He also has some acquaintances in Xinghua.
Having been here for so long, it is impossible to say that I am not guilty.
He has come to live a good life, and his friends are still enduring hardships in Xinghua. Without his relief, they should have had a harder time.
As long as the owner takes them over, it will be fine to take them all.
The author has something to say: Democracy is unlikely.
If you take too many steps, you can easily break the egg.
