The current village is on the right track. On the one hand, there are caravans that trade with the Rong people every ten days, using the empire's silk cloth, ironware, porcelain, herbs, tea, and rice in exchange for the Rong people's skins, horses, and beautiful stones and jade.
etc.
There are already mature channels, and the goods shipped can be quickly exchanged for silver and rice.
The constant coming and going brought huge profits to Toad Village, and the income brought by the caravan supported the construction of the village.
Not only Toad Village, Luoyu Village, Yunzhonglong, Qiaohe, and Youjiulou were also very fat. At least they now understand that there is still a future for them following Toad Village. Cheng Dalei is not like Mo
Mingmi, he maintains the principle of equal benefit sharing, and everyone benefits.
In addition to running a caravan and building a fortress, Cheng Dalei also did not give up on training the team. Cheng Dalei also understood the principle of sweating more in peacetime and bleeding less in war.
After Qin Man, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Gao Feibao left, Zhao Zilong was in charge of the team's training. Now, Liu Bei is in charge of the construction of the village, Li Xingzai is in charge of the caravan, Zhao Zilong is in charge of the training, and Cheng Dalei is freed from everything and becomes a hands-off shopkeeper.
Ever since Qin Man and the others left, Cheng Dalei's heart was in knots. The northwest is thousands of miles away from the south of the Yangtze River, and there is an uprising from the Righteous Cult in the middle. I wonder if any accidents will happen.
Cheng Dalei asked the restaurant to collect information about the Righteous Cult, and the information handed in every day piled up like snowflakes in front of Cheng Dalei's case. Cheng Dalei wanted to use this information to speculate on the ups and downs behind the case.
On this day, Cheng Dalei was sitting behind the desk again, holding a page of paper in his hand, which was just delivered by the restaurant yesterday.
Opposite the desk, there are two Taishi chairs, with Xu Shenji and Li Waner sitting on them. These two people are rare in Toad Village who can read and have brains. Xu Shenji... can barely be regarded as such.
An incense burner was burning on the desk, and sandalwood rose in the air. Silver eyes stood behind Cheng Dalei, like a speechless ice sculpture. Only when the water in Cheng Dalei's teacup was empty, did he step forward to refill it with water.
Gudong.
Xu Shenji picked up Cheng Dalei's tea cup, drank it all in one gulp, and said with emotion: "You really don't know if you don't check it out. Once you check it, you will be shocked. It turns out that the Righteous Cult is already such a powerful force, and it has spread to us.
.”
Cheng Dalei looked at him speechlessly, wanting to say something, but finally shook his head and signaled Yin Mu to change the cup.
"Master, what do you mean by this word?" Xu Shenji licked the pages of the book with spit foam, and handed the page in his hand to Cheng Dalei.
Cheng Dalei held his temples with his hands and felt that his head started to hurt again.
"Military advisor, no matter what, you can't even recognize all the characters, right? There are ten characters on a piece of paper and you don't know it. Why can't you read more?"
"Hey, I rely on my brain to make a living. Just use enough words. Don't waste time on such insignificant things."
Cheng Dalei was speechless. It was definitely a mistake to think that Xu Shenji had a brain just now. He waved his hand: "Commander, please go outside for a walk first and get some fresh air before coming back."
"Why, you don't need me to help the master with advice..."
"No, no, please, please."
Xu Shenji was also on pins and needles. Seeing Cheng Dalei relaxed, he quickly withdrew.
Cheng Dalei smiled awkwardly at Li Waner, and Li Waner smiled back.
"Commander Xu is truly a strange person." Li Waner admired sincerely.
Cheng Dalei was speechless again. He didn't know why Li Wan'er thought so. Could it be that if he stayed with Xu Shenji for a long time, his IQ would be lowered. Xu Shenji's hidden attributes also came with an aura of mental retardation.
The existence of Xu Shenji exposed a problem in Toad Village. The brothers in Toad Village are generally not very educated. Of course, few people who have really read the books of sages are willing to fall into the trap of banditry. If you have time, give them extra lessons.
The combat quality of soldiers must be emphasized, and the cultural quality of commanders must not be neglected.
It has to be said that after Xu Shenji left, the air in the room suddenly became fresher. There was the former imperial princess in front of him, the exotic ice girl behind him, the fragrance curled up on the book table, and there were birds chirping outside the window from time to time.
No wonder people say that men are made of clay and women are made of water. No wonder people say that red sleeves add fragrance to make it easier to study. This is all based on life experience.
Faintly, Cheng Dalei felt like a big shot.
Without Xu Shenji to cause trouble, the work progress immediately became faster. Cheng Dalei has been exploring the situation of the Justice Cult these days, and now he has a certain understanding of the Justice Cult.
The main active area of the Righteous Religion is in Yangzhou. It only emerged in the past six months. In a short period of time, it has gathered hundreds of thousands of followers. Their organizational structure is roughly as follows:
The supreme leader of the Righteous Religion is the God Lord. There is very little information about him. His name is unknown and his origin is unknown. But it is said that this person is very capable and can make waves and make soldiers by spreading beans. Cheng Dalei also understands that he can have so many people in a short period of time.
As a believer, his abilities must not be small, and his goals must not be small either.
The more active one is the divine general under the divine master. There is a lot of information about this person. It is said that he is the disciple of the divine master. He has been involved in many things. His name and origin cannot be found.
Under the God General are the leaders of believers in various places, called Nobunaga.
Now the power of the Righteous Sect has developed to the northwest, and even Haojia City has followers of the Righteous Sect.
The banner of the Righteous Religion is: the evil god will come to the world, and justice will shine brightly.
Cheng Dalei clicked his tongue and praised him, his tone was really quite impressive.
Naturally, the Justice Cult is developing so fast and has such great momentum that the imperial court cannot ignore it. Now the imperial court has begun to arrest the Justice Cult believers and attack their home base.
"The one attacking the Justice Cult this time is the Xingzi Army led by Li Xing, which is considered the elite army of the empire." Li Waner.
"Li Xing?" Cheng Dalei asked: "Why didn't I hear of him when I was in Chang'an? Is he very famous?"
Li Wan'er was speechless, and after a while she said: "After all, it's my imperial uncle who was granted the title of King of Yangzhou."
Cheng Dalei almost forgot that Li Ben was the surname of the country. This Li Xing was the brother of Emperor Ming of the Empire.
Jiangnan has never been harassed by the Rong people and is considered a prosperous place. However, I don’t know if the Yangzhou King’s Xingzi Army can conquer the Righteous Cult.
"The boss..."
Xu Shenji hurried in, panting. As soon as he came in, Cheng Dalei felt that the high-end and classy atmosphere in the room was instantly destroyed.
"Master, the restaurant has sent a holy picture of the Righteous Cult. Do you want to take a look? I will keep it for you to be shocked."
The so-called holy picture refers to the gods believed in by the Righteous Sect, which are painted on it, and believers worship it and offer incense to it.
"Don't be pretentious. I've never seen anything before and I can still be scared."
"Hey, that's hard to say, look at..."
Xu Shenji unfolded the image in his hand, and Cheng Dalei was stunned after just one glance. There was a toad on it, with a ring-shaped object above its head.
"Is this... a toad-topped hydrangea?" Cheng Dalei stammered.
