Chapter 89 Association

"Xiaojiu, please give me a gift to the master," said the eldest sister.

Song Jiu didn't know what to say, but looked at the master. The master was very brave. Song Jiu was a court official at least. He was a rank official, no matter whether he was a dispersed official or a official, and he was also an eighth-rank official. He had not taken off his official uniform yet, and he seemed to be favored by the emperor. Otherwise, how could he be allowed to inspect the entire Jinghu? Song Jiu didn't say anything, just said that you just ask him to go back, and the master dared to threaten with gods. But thinking about it, the later masters were not as powerful as cheating money, and the people who entered the trap were all big names.

These people are also ghosts and gods, so they stay away from them. Song Jiu was too lazy to provoke them and said to his elder sister: "Sister, I am a Juzi, Confucian scholar, Dr. Yan, and Dr. Zhang. Although I teach material science, arithmetic and accounting, you are also teaching Confucian classics, are you?"

The two nodded.

"The Master said to respect ghosts and gods and stay away from them. I don't say that strangeness, power, chaos, and gods are different. Humans and ghosts have different paths, which are not something that humans can know. They can respect them, but they must stay away from them. The Master also worships ghosts and gods. That is in a temple, not at home. The only ancestors in the home are worshipped. As an official of the court, I am also trained students who will be used by the court. Sister, if you openly invite ghosts and gods to your home, the emperor may severely punish me."

"Song Jiulang, what do you say? Even Your Majesty worships the gods, you actually slander it!"

"Master Zhang, you should go back quickly. Your Majesty also worships the gods. One is in an appropriate place, not in the palace. Two is worshiping the gods. Can you represent the gods? I have always been easy to talk to, but I am also an official, don't force me..."

"Zhou Shizong destroyed the Buddha, see what he would end!"

Song Jiu was even more displeased and said, "Zhou Shizong is a heroic lord. Although he died young, Your Majesty has always treated his descendants well, including all generals. You are just a Taoist priest, don't let the trouble come out of your mouth!"

Dr. Yan and Dr. Zhang also reacted. If the news was about to go out, they would not stop him. Instead, they would take a group of students to watch the fun. There was something wrong. They came over and said, "Master Zhang, don't argue anymore. Jiulang is an official. There are indeed some things that need to be taboo. Please forgive me and leave quickly."

Master Zhang was still a little dissatisfied.

Song Jiu felt strange. This Taoist priest was so confident.

The eldest sister was at a loss and entered the room, took out a ingot of silver and handed it to Master Zhang. When Song Jiu left, she was afraid of an accident, so she asked Boss Hu to take the students to verify the matter and pay the wages until the end of February. She would definitely not dare to leave so much money in the Song family and leave it in the Gao family. He was the emperor's brother-in-law, who dared to touch?

However, Song Jiu was not here. As Boss Hu, he could not think of any friendship with the Gao family, so he paid in advance. Refund more and paid less. Some people who have retired have affairs and cannot fully work. A very small number of foreigners saw that peace was restored in many places. Hezhou wanted to return to their hometown in spring. Hezhou would benefit everyone. He was not afraid that they would escape with this wage, so they would have to return it. But some were not enough. When Song Jiu came back, he paid it back. He was afraid that something would happen, so Song Jiu put a few hundred taels of silver at home and handed it to his elder sister for safekeeping. The silver was heavy, not silver ingots, but it was at least twenty taels, which made Song Jiu grim. His monthly income includes salary and dividends from the dock, which was not worth the money of this can.

When I saw silver, those who were not masters were mostly fake. As long as those who were greedy for money were not masters, and Master Zhang would not be masters, so I left with the silver. My elder sister continued to complain: "Xiaojiu, if you can come back safely, it will be a blessing from Master Zhang's blessing. Why do you treat Master like this?"

Song Jiu was about to be anxious, but the elder sister was kind-hearted. The masters in the past had deceived the celebrities and officials. Moreover, in this era, the elder sister who could not read a few words. He said patiently: "Sister, how many people are teaching materialism in the entire Song Dynasty now?"

"How can I know?"

"I am the only one. What is a matter? It talks about the principle of changes in various things. For entertainment, it can perform various illusions, including the master's mouth that blasts fire in his mouth, but it can create gunpowder that blows down the city walls, balloons that carry people to heaven, and even make people fly down from heaven. That master represents the gods. You ask him to carry people to heaven and then jump down from heaven."

All the teachers and students laughed.

If Song Jiu didn't talk, everyone thought it was very magical. They kept coming to see it, but it wouldn't be very meaningful when they talked about it.

"The study of matter is more magical than what they performed. Why, as soon as Your Majesty comes, I will immediately explain the principle of how people can go to heaven and fall from heaven but be safe and sound, because I am a court official, and I teach this knowledge. Even a deeper and more magical method, if used well, can benefit the people and the country. If used poorly, it can be bewitched. Unless one day, thousands of people understand this knowledge. So I must avoid taboos and pay attention. But you, please, invite these masters home and attract students to watch. What has this become?"

After saying this, the eldest sister finally understood and murmured: "What should I do? I'll have a association."

Song Jiu was stunned when he heard this. He first ordered the students to go back to the classroom and reflect on their own study for the past few months. He immediately prepared to test them himself. This was an excuse to ask the students to go to the classroom and then throw away the god cards together. The eldest sister hesitated and was not dead, trying to stop them. Song Jiu asked: "What association?"

"Peace Society, we have formed a society, and pray to the gods to bless the family with peace."

"Who took the lead? Master Zhang?"

"It's not Master Zhang Long'er. He only said one thing: One person's prayer is not very powerful. If everyone prays together, it will be great, and the gods can hear everyone's prayers and bring blessings down."

"Sister, you..." Song Jiu was speechless. After a while, he shook his head. He probably saw that he had raised a lot of money and received a large reward from the emperor. These gods and ghosts stumbled on like flies, so he said seriously: "Sister, I just gathered the coolies in the river. What did the two kings say to me? I said I wanted to build a river and shake the capital. Why? My dynasty has associations and groups, but they are relatively loose between each other. However, by using shares to condense, they can become a piece of iron plate. Can the two kings rest assured? This is just a relationship of money. There are two regimes in the world, one is the imperial power.

One is the divine power. They are all above money. What consequences will you cause when you use the divine power to form a society? Zhang Jiao and Huang Chao use part of the divine power to unite the people to rebel. Let’s see what Huang Chao did? After surrounding Chenzhou for more than a year, the three thousand giant mortars started to move, and put the people into the giant mortars and grind them into meat. The people of Chenzhou ate them up and plundered them, and tied up the people in Henan, Xu, Ru, Tang, Deng, Meng, Zheng, Bian, Cao, Xu, Yan and other dozens of states to continue grinding. As a result, the vast area of ​​Jingxi Road continues to be empty. You are still in association, and I think you want our whole family to destroy the clan."

The eldest sister panicked and asked, "What should I do?"

Yuping asked from the side: "Jiulang, it's not that serious."

It was probably not that serious. I guess my elder sister was afraid that something would happen to her south, so she prayed to Gods and worshipped Bodhisattvas everywhere, and asked Master Zhang Longer to target her. The money she cheated on her was not enough, so she just sent some money to the coolie. In fact, there were not many scattered one family, and it was seven or eight scattered coins, but there were also a lot of together, so she came up with a way to make an association and continued to cheat money. If she had known this, she would have grabbed him and sent him directly to the government. She said: "No matter whether it is serious or not, it is not easy for the villagers to make a few money. How much did you cheat him with this association?"

"I don't know either."

"Sister, go and ask, I will pay it out and return it to the villagers."

"That's a lot of money."

"A lot of money has to be paid back, and the association has dispersed together." Although it was a frustration for the sheep, it would inevitably make you smell like a slut. And seeing that the Taoist priest was quite awesome, he couldn't tell him what the background was behind him. He asked his elder sister to disperse the association, and it would not be easy to cheat money in the future, and some troubles would happen. It was really a big deal, so he had to go to Zhao Kuangyi to tell the matter. Seeing that the elder sister was worried and uneasy, Song Jiu said again: "It's okay, if it's dispersed, if it's not invited, the court will not blame him. Isn't it just some money? It's just that the emperor has no rewards, or it's rewarded less."

Song Jiu emphasized his tone again and said, "Sister, it doesn't matter if the money issue is not important. I'm afraid you will be brainwashed by him. If you say brainwashing, you don't understand it. That is, you can use some means to instill his thoughts and make others obey his manipulation, especially using religious and political means. No matter what, the association must be disbanded."

Thinking of this, Song Jiu was amused and crying because there were some methods of brainwashing in his diary. Unexpectedly, it was not used, and a charlatan at home brainwashed his elder sister.

Cui'er said, "Oh no, my wife also let him cheat a few golden hairpins and bracelets."

Song Jiujue fell, it seemed that he would have suffered heavy losses this time, and said with a wry smile: "If you cheat, you cheat. Just think it's just to spend money to eliminate disasters and buy a lesson. This is now. If Hezhou develops it in the future and the income is high, not only will the Taoist priests come to cheat, but there will be more monks, fortune tellers, wizards, and methods."

When Yuping saw the eldest sister's frustrated expression, she changed the topic: "Jiulang, can this industry be safe?"

"Fortunately, what can I do when I go south? It is said that it will not be hot at this time, and when we go, it is not when the miasma attacks. It is said that the people are in chaos. Under the governance of several officials, Hunan has long begun to stabilize. By the way, when will the Taoist priest come to pray for blessings?"

“February 2.”

"On February 2nd, my career has nothing to do with him. I also became a brother of different surnames with Qin Zaixiong, the governor of Chenzhou. But this is the New Year's Day. Why is peace? This is the reputation of Your Majesty is far away from all directions. This is the blessing of parents underground, and it has nothing to do with the master. So my elder sister asked me to worship my parents, and I happily agreed. But I can't worship a liar!"

"Xiaojiu, stop talking, let's talk about it, and I can't sleep well tonight."

"Sister, I can only sleep well if you can't sleep well. I'm worried that you will be completely brainwashed by him, and that's what it will be."

"I'm not a fool..." The eldest sister couldn't continue. She was not a fool and asked him to cheat a lot of money, and even cheated the villagers at least two or three thousand guan.

"Sister, you're wrong. Smart people can be brainwashed. The smarter they are, the easier it is to brainwash them. My Hezhou gathers capital to brainwash the yamen. But unlike this Taoist priest, he brainwashed them completely to cheat money, and I'm a win-win situation. Don't talk about this anymore. After I leave, everything will be fine at home."

"Everything is fine. Your seventh sister gave birth to a big fat boy last year."

"I'll go and have a look tonight." Song Jiu said in surprise that birth is the most dangerous thing in this era. Not only is the fetus dangerous, but the mother is also dangerous. Song Jiu in Hunan has been worried about it.

"who is he?"

"He is a student I brought from the south, named Lu Qingyi. Qingyi. I have been a little busy these days. I will arrange for you to go to Hezhou in a few days."

"Thank you Jiuro."

"Follow me," Song Jiu stopped making a fuss. He had to see how the students learned. He took off his official uniform, changed into casual clothes, and arranged Qingyi to Class B first. He had to admire Han Xizai. Although he was a child of a trusted subordinate and was eventually a child servant, when Han Xizai took the time to teach him briefly, Qingyi not only had good arithmetics, but also had good writing and could write four and six bodies. This four and six bodies made Song Jiu the most miserable. However, accounting and material objects are definitely worse, and they cannot be placed in Class A. The fact that the progress of each subject is different also gave the four gentlemen a headache. There is no way now, I can only see if I become a college in the future. Can this disadvantage be solved.

When class started, some students were still curious and asked, "Mr. Jiu, can that fire-breathing teach us now?"

Song Jiu thought about it and said that these students are likely to become various minor officials in the future. They cannot underestimate minor officials. Zhao Pu and others are all from scribes. They are called minor officials, and some minor officials are think tanks of officials. The Song Dynasty is now backward in technology and people are superstitious. Some things will be pretending to be magical in various places. So he said, "I can't accept it now, and I have to prepare for a while. In fact, you can go to the streets to watch artists perform on the Lantern Festival and see similar fire-breathing performances. Not only fire-breathing, but I can tell the principle of 70% of the illusion, but these performances require some skills and skill, and I can't perform them. The fire-breathing technique is just a simple one, but no matter what you use to hide it in your mouth. It is harmful to people. And be careful. If the spray is not controlled well, it will burn clothes and high hair. Even if you know it, it is better not to perform it. Moreover, if these methods are used to attract some audience rewards for entertainment activities, it doesn’t matter. If you use them to pretend to be a god or a ghost, cheat the people’s money, especially the poor people’s money, it is a slut. Especially the Taoist priest just now, who used my sister’s concern for me and some of her prestige in the river, not only cheated my sister’s money, but also cheated the villagers’ money. These people should be killed! He cheated the money and enjoyed it. I also have to clean up the mess for him, dissolve the association, and repay the villagers’ money..."

All the students were from poor families. After hearing these words, one student said, "Mr. Jiu, we all miss you after you leave."
