A group of soldiers and government officials suddenly trembled like quails in the wind.
A man who looked like a yamen secretary stood up and said with a smile: "Yes, what Mr. Guo said is right.
These cult monsters kill well and wonderfully. The Taoist priest not only has no fault in killing these monsters, but the government also rewards them according to their merits!
Why don't you come back to the county government office with me? I think the county magistrate also wants to meet the Taoist priest!"
Tao Xiaowu said calmly: "Rewards based on merit are enough. Even if your government wants to cause trouble for me, why not give it a try?"
Just stamping his foot on the ground, there was a loud bang and the ground shook violently. People around him couldn't stand and all fell down.
A deep, dark cave about ten feet in diameter appeared in front of everyone.
Seeing this scene, the soldiers and government officials were all numb.
The clerk stepped back in fright, shook his hands wildly, and shouted repeatedly: "I don't dare, I don't dare... We will never dare to go against the Taoist priest.
In fact, we don’t have a good impression of those beautiful Tatars, and we just eat them for nothing.”
But seeing that Tao Xiaowu had no good opinion or respect for the government, he already regarded Tao Xiaowu as a member of an anti-establishment organization like the Red Flower Society!
Just like Tao Xiaowu's original world, this world has a prosperous generation and dynamic underground groups emerging one after another.
From beginning to end, there are countless underground sects of all kinds.
Even those anti-scene organizations are also mixed in, and their activities are frequent. No matter how hard the government cracks down, they never disappear.
It has great influence and power among the people.
Naturally, the upper echelons of the government hated these anti-establishment organizations and suppressed them in various ways.
However, lower-level officials can only turn a blind eye.
When you reach the level of a yamen officer and a police officer, let alone that!
It can be said that the various resistance forces among the people have never stopped.
Just like in the original world, not to mention Zheng Chenggong's retreat overseas, the remaining forces of his men organized Hongmen and continued to resist the Manchus.
When it comes to various uprisings, isn’t there the power of folk sects behind them?
From the Sichuan-Shaanxi White Lotus Sect uprising, which led to the Manchu Qing Dynasty's decline from prosperity, the Manchus spent 200 million taels of silver, the Tianli Sect entered the imperial palace, and later the Taiping Army, Xiaodao Society, and Boxer Rebellion.
The most legendary one is of course the Tianli Sect's entry into the imperial palace, which is simply an anecdote for the ages.
Unless history clearly records it, no one would believe that such a ridiculous thing could actually happen.
If that novelist had dared to write so randomly, he would have been scolded a long time ago!
However, the reality is far more bizarre than the novel. During the Jiaqing Dynasty, when the Qing Dynasty was relatively peaceful, the Tianli Sect actually colluded with the eunuchs, and more than a hundred people actually broke into the palace and violated the forbidden palace.
As a result, this kind of thing happened that "did not happen in the Han, Tang, Song, and Ming dynasties!"
In short, the situation in Jingchao was similar.
In this era, although such a big event that shocked the world has not happened yet.
However, civil anti-scene groups are still full of vitality...
Generally speaking, middle and lower-level bureaucrats, and even lower-level government officials do not dare to be enemies!
At this time, listening to Tao Xiaowu's tone of voice, which showed no respect for the imperial court, the secretary naturally regarded him as a member of a dynamic organization!
After hearing this, Tao Xiaowu just smiled coldly: "I don't care about you, I just need you to take care of the suffering woman down here.
If your eldest master has any evil thoughts, I will go find him!"
The clerk said hurriedly: "Don't worry, Taoist Master, don't worry, Taoist Master. I also have a conscience, and I will definitely not bully those suffering women..."
Tao Xiaowu didn't care whether he had a conscience or not, as long as he didn't dare.
Otherwise, we have to let him see if it is his head that is hard or the stick in Tao Xiaowu's hand that is hard!
He snorted coldly and walked away.
Guo Dawei saw this, thought about it, and then went to catch up with Tao Xiaowu, saying: "There is a universe in Muyang City, and loyalty depends on a little bit of Hong..."
Tao Xiaowu looked at the arrester coming from the sixth gate of this provincial capital in surprise.
He was saying that there were talents in the Jingren government, but he didn't expect that this Guo Dawei was actually a member of the Red Flower Society hiding in the government.
"You are actually a member of a dynamic organization, uh, the Red Flower Club?"
"Yes, I am from the Muzitang of the Honghua Society, and I was ordered to hide in the government!"
Guo Dawei made a test and knew that Tao Xiaowu was not from the Red Flower Society, otherwise he would not be unable to receive the following code.
But it seems that Tao Xiaowu doesn't have a good impression of Jingren's court, and he is the kind of person who sympathizes with the Red Flower Society.
He immediately confessed his identity!
To be honest, in this era, conducting underground secret work is really not very professional.
Many people’s identities are semi-public at all!
Of course, this is also related to the fact that the Jingren court was unable to control the grassroots and left a lot of space for dynamic groups.
Try it in Dayu?
At the grassroots level, there are li and township, where households are organized and people are organized, and all levels of management are managed.
There is also a pavilion responsible for public security.
Every year, the population and acres are counted.
In short, the control power at the grassroots level is far beyond what Jingren Imperial Court can match!
Of course, this can't actually be said to be Jingren's fault.
Jingren Tatar was just a barbarian from Liaodong at first, with low literacy and intelligence. He got into the customs at an advantage and conquered the world.
Everything is imitated from the previous Daqi Dynasty, but the advantages and disadvantages are completely learned.
The great ancestor of the Qi Dynasty was born in poverty and conquered the world. On the other hand, he had the spirit of a small farmer and placed too much emphasis on his family's descendants.
On the other hand, he is sympathetic to the poor people!
I have seen too many government agencies being dark and oppressing the people.
Therefore, they racked their brains and came up with various systems to restrain the government.
This kind of system is intended to last forever, so that future generations don't have to worry about it and can easily govern the world as long as they follow the rules.
So various systems were devised!
One of the most important things is to reduce the power of the government, the Small Government Big Snake Association.
Abolish the power that the previous generation of government controlled down to the lowest level, and support conscientious gentlemen among the people to check and balance the government.
Minimize the oppression of the people by the government!
However, although the idea was good, it ultimately failed...
When the government withdraws from the grassroots level, the so-called imperial power does not go to the countryside.
Then the countryside is dominated by gentlemen with conscience!
At the same time, the power of the government was also weakened.
In particular, various large-scale projects, and even the mobilization and organizational strength of war, have been weakened.
Of course, in fact, in history, after the demise of Dayu, the power of grassroots organizations was continuously weakened from generation to generation.
However, even in Daqi, they actively weakened themselves institutionally and withdrew from the grassroots level...
Jingren has no background and has just been transported into the customs. Naturally, he has no ability to change the various systems of Daqi. He can only inherit them all.
The inherent lack of control over the grassroots, coupled with the issue of legality, naturally leads to the emergence of various civil resistance forces in an endless stream.
Even more people sympathize with those who resist!
