I don't know when, some strange rumors suddenly spread from Zhuangzi.

Dog and Erliang are playmates of the same age. Sometimes they work together, they often sleep together, and they talk more than others. The dog squatted in the yard digging for weeds, and said to Erliang, "They It's all spreading."

Two or two: "What is it?"

Gouzi said: "They said the boss was sent from above."

Two or two: "...? What do you mean?"

The dog grabbed his ears and fished his cheeks, trying to find a good rhetoric, but there was no ink in his stomach. After thinking for a long time, he could only say: "It means that the owner is not a human."

Two or two: "...who?! Why are my young masters not human! I think they are not human! The young master gives them food and drink, but he gives them the courage! They dare to arrange the young master! One or two is itchy!"

Gouzi said quickly: "That's not what I meant!"

Two or 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 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? ?"

Two and two and You Rongyan raised their chests: "My young master is definitely not an ordinary person!"

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

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

Two by two, he was stunned. As a person close to Lin Yuan, he felt that this statement made sense, 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 I was a child. There are few things that shouldn't be. It is best to do things by the young master's side. The young master is not picky, but everyone is honest with others.

"It used to be that way." Two and two analyzed them carefully. "But when they arrived in 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."

Two by two slapped their hands: "What they said is very true! The young master is like a bodhisattva!"

Gouzi put the words back, and everyone felt that the owner was kind since childhood. What do the young children know?No one must have taught this. Isn't this the meaning of self-learning without a teacher and being born with a benevolent heart?

So the rumors went back and forth several times, and when the truth was lost, Lin Yuan was originally a good god in the sky. He didn't see the people suffering on earth, so he resigned from the emperor and wanted to go down to save the common people. Of course, the emperor could not bear him. To stay, but the good spirits are also big-tempered, and they don't show the face of the emperor, and sneak away.

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

At this time, someone said: "Man has likes and dislikes, and gods naturally have likes and dislikes. Lord Long walks through clouds and rains. If you provoke his old man, you will be severely drought or flooded. Isn't Lord Long not a good god?"

The origins were compiled, and Lin Yuan's background was also made up.

The argument was messy, but later on, they seemed to unify on their own. That was when Lin Yuan and his mother were pregnant and dreamed of a golden light on the horizon. His mother was frightened and frightened, so she knelt down and asked why the great immortal came from?

Daxian pointed to her belly and said: "There is a good son in the sky. Tonight enters your abdomen. This is great good fortune. This son is born, and you also succeed."

So Lin Yuan's mother gave birth to the child and disappeared. She is not dead, she has completed her mission, has great good fortune, and ascended to heaven.

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

The rumors and rumors finally reached Lin Yuan's ears.

Lin Yuan's first reaction when he heard these rumors was "Should anyone want to engage in themselves?", but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was impossible. After all, such rumors are beneficial to him no matter how they look at it.

In the West, when the monarchy is conferred by the gods, it means to elevate the king to the top of a man.

When our country speaks of the true dragon emperor, it is to equate the king with the god.

This is a kind of spiritual rule, just like the White Lotus religion, it was just a very simple faith at first.

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

After Lin Yuan listened, 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, coupled with their low level of education, and deep-rooted feudal superstitions. They come out when chatting about gossip, but they have a nose and eyes, not like what the old man said.

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

Jiang Gui is also a personal spirit. He nodded and said: "This is definitely not something they can make up, but I don't know why the person made up such words."

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

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

He slipped out of the dormitory in the middle of the night and squatted outside the courtyard where Lin Yuan lived. He probably wanted to find a suitable opportunity to get in, but the light inside was always off, and the person inside did not wake up, so he squatted there with his neck curled up. , It looks pitiful and funny.

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

This person only looks at appearance, he can be up to 50%, his physique looks good, but his face, hair and beard are already old, his eye bags are big, his face is a bit mean and gloomy, his mouth is drooping down, no A person with good contact, he didn't dare to sit down. He knelt down 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 the people!" He bit his mouth to death and said, "This family is worthy of the owner."

Lin Yuan asked him: "What good is it for you to spread this way?"

This person walked a few steps and went over: "The little old man is now fifty-two, and the life is not long. In his lifetime, I just want to see this chaotic world calm down, and the world will become one. The owner walks along the way, and everyone is organized. The team performs its duties, rewards and punishments, and the club has high ambitions, and the young man is willing to do his best."

Lin Yuan stood up, helped this person up, and asked with a smile, "Where is the gentleman from?"

After Lin Yuan asked, he knew 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 was martyred. They were saved. But even if they were saved, they still remember that they were Da Song. The people of the people always think about reversing the Yuan Dynasty and the Song Dynasty.

They live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, and there are younger generations who have gone down the mountain, and many people have left one after another.

They are all youths, who wants to spend a lifetime in the mountains and forests?

Said it was against Yuan and Song, where is Song?Where is the royal blood?Who do you support?

This Song Shizhao was the last one to leave the mountain, and also the oldest one. He didn't think he couldn't turn back, nor did he think he had all his skills but no one appreciated it. He just didn't think it was time.

When he felt that the time had come and came down the mountain, he became a refugee because he had no food and money. He wandered all the way. He was traded several times by mistake, and he arrived at this village.

"You mean, you are helping me win people's hearts?" Lin Yuan couldn't laugh or cry.

Song Shizhao said seriously: "My 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 out at this time, the dog will be discovered by the court?"

Zhuangzi's entry and exit are strict, ordinary people can't get out at all, and can't communicate with the outside world. This worry is unfounded, Lin Yuan shook his head.

He just thought it felt strange, he was a little unacceptable.

Song Shizhao said, "My boss, do you think you give them food and clothing to keep them hungry, and you set the rules so that they can be honest and go back?"

Lin Yuan looked at Song Shizhao: "Old gentleman, please tell me, I would like to hear more."

Song Shizhao finally felt the attitude of Corporal Lin Yuanli, and touched his gray goatee, but his eyes flashed: "The people are the same, and the mother is always the one with milk."

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

Song Shizhao said: "They have never read books, do not know morality and shame, know what loyalty is? What is morality?"

Song Shizhao: "My boss, they listen to you now, but because you are in charge of food and people. They are afraid of starving and death."

"You have to let them know that they will have hope after you, and they will be obedient, and they will know loyalty." Song Shizhao said, "Otherwise, why the emperors of all dynasties have been born with visions and they are 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 he wanted to let people obey him in a short period of time, respect him, and did not dare to oppose him. That was to brainwash these people.

The brainwashing method is also very simple. It is to use their inherent traditional superstitious thinking 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 day can only be brought by Lin Yuan and others Not coming.

"In the second year of Taiding, Zhao Chousi played the banner of Maitreya Buddha." Song Shizhao said, "In the third year of the Yuan Dynasty, Zhu Guangqing played the banner of the birth of Dingguang Buddha, not to mention that the vests of the fourth year of the Yuan Dynasty were all written with Buddha. ."

Song Shizhao: "The moves are never old."

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

Song Shizhao's expression is very steady, but his trembling little finger of his left hand reveals his excitement at this time, and his voice is a little hoarse: "I am willing to be driven by the boss, but if you fail, you will die."

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

Two and two hurriedly responded outside: "Master, what do you want?"

Lin Yuan said, "Make up a room for this old gentleman, and he will live here ever since."

Erliang didn't know what had 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 turning his head three times. Looking at the mood, he thought that Song Shizhao was a newlywed wife. Lin Yuan and others left before they poured a cup of tea to shock him.

Probably because he grew up under the red flag, Lin Yuan resisted this method?

He laughed mockingly, and drank tea.

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

A team with cohesive power will be stronger than none.

This cohesive force can be a unified goal or the same pursuit, but the most secure thing is the highest faith.

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

Even if we want to break the feudal superstition and pursue scientific development, we have to start literacy after people have enough food and drink.

not now.

Lin Yuan lay on the bed and looked at the beams above his head. He rarely had insomnia all night. When he got up the next day, the two and two were shocked by his listless look when they saw him. Lin Yuansheng’s face was tender, although he was a few years old, he didn’t blow. After the wind and the sun, it looks much whiter than ordinary people, and the lower eyelids are a little blue after a night of sleep, and they look like excessive indulgence.

In the end, he did not care about the rumors, and Song Shizhao was also left by Lin Yuan as an aide.

Song Shizhao still has some abilities. 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 conclusion is made, and when he dies, he will die. There is no reincarnation, and there is no cause and effect. The so-called causal reincarnation is that people tell themselves to deceive themselves.

He also thinks that there are no gods in the sky, and if there are gods in the sky, they will not come to help mortals.

Sometimes Lin Yuan felt that if Song Shizhao's performance was normal, perhaps Song Shizhao had also traveled through it.

Talking to Song Shizhao was a kind of relaxation for Lin Yuan.

Because of the limitations of the times, Lin Yuan had a lot of things that he couldn't say to Brother Dao.

Before Lin Yuan could react, the cold winter came. The temperature dropped sharply after the beginning of winter, and the carbon has already been released. It was clear that there was no problem last year, but today I got a few colds and I can only raise it first. .

Jiang Guang finally sent the remaining five hundred people over, and Chen Baisong and the others also brought the guys over.

Now there are more than 1,300 people in Zhuangzi Tong.

Although it is not too much, it is not too little.

After all, the total population of the Yuan Dynasty now does not exceed 100 million, with a vast land and abundant resources, in other words, it is vast and sparsely populated.

When Fang Guozhen turned back, there were more than a thousand people around him.

The increase in population gave Lin Yuan a sigh of relief.

Even in winter, the training still cannot be stopped. The men in Zhuangzi are used to running morning exercises just before dawn, run hungry, and then go to the cafeteria to eat breakfast and continue training after eating. They can't relax for a moment.

In this way, the day-to-day training is still effective, and the newcomers cannot see it for the time being, but the original Zhuangzi people have discovered the difference.

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

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

Although they were not eating very well, Lin Yuan had been working hard on their food.

Carbohydrates, protein, fat.

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

Then there are vitamins, it depends on what you have.

Although I don’t know if there are any vitamins in the dried fruit, Lin Yuan still asks people to dry it a lot in summer. If it goes on 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 five hundred newcomers were quickly integrated into the collective. This is also proud of Zhuangzi’s rules. Everyone should do their own thing every day. If anyone is lazy and pushes them to others, they can report anonymously. , If the report is established, the person who is reported will be punished and the reporter will be rewarded.

It was indeed chaotic for a while at the beginning. Lin Yuan became angry twice and told people to take off the troublemaker and slap the board in front of everyone. These talents calmed down.

There are also some small squad leaders who suddenly become small officials and feel that they are not good enough. Those who show off and bully others are all separately proposed and set up a labor reform team to work from morning to night every day. When will the performance be qualified and what? Only then can I go back to the class-but I can no longer be the class leader.

All the small leaders were chosen by Lin Yuan, or they called Brother Dao.

Very undemocratic.

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

It's not that he has a problem with his brain.

If these people choose a squad leader, can they still choose 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 dare not bet.

Wrong gambling, it is a deep abyss, bothering to make other people's wedding dress, in the end there is no good word.

"This year the Yellow River broke its dyke, and the imperial court confiscated 150,000 people to repair the Yellow River, and sent troops along the bank to suppress it." Song Shizhao said to Lin Yuan, "After a year, there should be actions everywhere."

Lin Yuan asked him, "Mr. Song, who do you think is competitive in this world?"

Song Shizhao did not say politely: "White lotus religion and Maitreya religion can barely count as a Ming religion."

Lin Yuan smiled: "Nowadays there is a white lotus leader in the north."

Song Shizhao nodded: "I have heard that Han Shantong seems to be a disciple of Guangshou, playing the banner of "Buddha Maitreya is born" and "The King of Ming is born". It has been a few years, and the name is not small. There is no one in the north who does not know."

Lin Yuan gave 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 compliment in his heart, and then asked, "Mister thought he would turn back?"

"Naturally, it will turn back." Song Shizhao said, "He had already settled a few years ago, and now that the people on both sides of the Yellow River don't have a living, it is a good time."

Han Shantong, this person, can only be said to be bad luck, too ambitious in the start, everyone knows that, and he did not think of a way out.

Song Shizhao said: "At that time, it was also a good time for your boss."

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

Song Shizhao smiled: "The boss doesn't need to play dumb riddles with me, ask the little old man to guess, which piece does the boss want?"

"Gaoyou?"

Lin Yuan really couldn't stand it any longer, he looked at Song Shizhao in disbelief, "How does sir know?"

Song Shizhao said: "Most of the people in Zhuangzi come from different paths, only the group of more than fifty people in Xinghua. Since the owner accepts them, they must have the reason of the owner. They are from salt people, and they are the lowly people. , Where is it worth the trouble of the owner?"

"Xinghua has salt, and the owner wants it to be justified."

"But Xinghua is prone to strong winds, and the salt in the land is not good for 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 bowed his hand and saluted Song Shizhao seriously. He had to admit that he had really underestimated this person before.

Song Shizhao also said sternly: "Because of this, I feel that the owner is a person who can be effective."

"I wonder if the owner has a plan?"

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

Song Shizhao did not continue to question either.

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

To gain Lin Yuan's trust, one 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 important spiritual power on Han Shantong and them. At that time, it was their time.

So he found Zhang Shicheng and his brothers.

Zhang Jiusi and the others have been doing things with others in the past few months.

Training, fishing or hunting. Although busy every day, it is also fulfilling. After finishing the work every night, you can gather around the fire to brag and chew some beans. Don’t worry about where your livelihood will be tomorrow, and don’t worry about being deducted. There is no money to pay.

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

It seems that being beaten by an overseer and being detained was a long time ago.

"I'm calling you here because I want to ask you something." Lin Yuan said to Zhang Jiusi with a smile, "You sit down first."

Then he said to Zhang Jiu Si's younger brothers: "Sit down, you are welcome."

A few of them are still somewhat restrained.

After all, Lin Yuan is the boss, where is there such a soft-spoken boss?

Lin Yuan said, "You have been in Zhuangzi for more than half a year?"

Zhang Jiusi is the eldest brother, so naturally he said, "It is one year away from March."

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

Zhang Jiusi was stunned, he didn't react for a while, the boss... was he meant to push them back?

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

Zhang Jiuqi quickly said, "Exactly! That bitch's salt governor! Never treats us salt people as human beings!"

Zhang Jiuwu: "The salt people get up early and are greedy for the dark. They are all sick and can't even eat a full meal."

Lin Yuan sighed and looked a little bit compassionate: "I am willing to help, but I am afraid that no one can trust it."

Zhang Jiusi said in a rush: "Does the boss want to bring all the salt people out?"

"My boss, that's not easy!"

"Then many people, I am afraid that the food is not enough!"

Lin Yuan only said, "Who would like to go back?"

Several people looked at each other, and finally Zhang Jiu-si stood up and said, "My boss, what you ordered."

Lin Yuan said: "I called Brother Dao Yang and Li Da to accompany you back to see the current situation. If it is feasible, we can save more people. What do you think?"

Zhang Jiusi's eyes lit up.

I couldn't speak for a while, and finally bowed his head, choked up and said: "My boss, I don't know, there really are people like you in the world."

Some friends he knows 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, friends are still suffering in Xinghua, without his relief, they should have had a harder life.

As long as the boss takes them over, it will take them all.

The author has something to say: Democracy or anything is impossible.

If you step too far, you can easily get the egg.
