Chapter 508
Accumulate small amounts into many, and sand forms a tower.
According to Mr. Xu's calculations, these people secretly reached a transaction volume of at least 200,000 kilograms every day.
With such purchase volume, the supply of rice and grain in Jiangling City remains at a normal level. The saying that rice and grain in Jiangnan really makes Mr. Xu look at him with admiration.
Unfortunately, Mr. Xu still cannot know when these people started to acquire them on such a scale.
However, after discovering the secret operation of these people, Mr. Xu had already followed the clues and found the place where these people accumulated food.
Next, as long as you follow this batch of rice and grain, it will not be difficult to find the target person hiding behind the scenes of buying grain quietly.
But before tracking the target person behind this batch of rice and grain, Mr. Xu must settle his family first. Now, Fubao discovered the abnormality of the Great Buddha Temple, which gave Mr. Xu a reason to leave Jiangling City as soon as possible.
As for whether to continue to go east along the Yangtze River or just turn around, if Mr. Xu had any hesitation before, then he would not have any hesitation now.
"I'm going back now?"
The next day, when Princess Xu heard that Mr. Xu planned to return to Anshun County the day after tomorrow, Princess Yuyan was the first to be unhappy.
However, Mr. Xu obviously did not want to talk nonsense to Princess Yuyan. He glanced at the other party and said, "If you still want to continue going east, I have no objection!"
"Brother, look at what you said, I don't want to!"
Princess Yuyan hurriedly made a statement.
After complaining, complaining, but Princess Yuyan really didn't have this idea to let her take the people east. The main reason is that she brought too many little babies around her when she came out this time.
Moreover, the most important thing is that these little dolls will be honest and not quarrel when they are with Fu Bao.
Princess Yuyan didn't know why, but she understood that if Fubao didn't appear from time to time, she would never be able to take good care of these little babies.
If she couldn't take good care of these little babies, with her mother's temper, she might send someone to deal with her. After all, in her mother's heart, she was just a female guard named Yingxue.
Since I decided to go back to Anshun County, I naturally had to buy more local specialties from Jiangling City. Otherwise, when I went back to the village and met the villagers, I didn’t even have a gift, which would be a bit embarrassing.
Given the strangeness of Jiangling City, Mr. Xu did not ask Mrs. Xu and others to go out to buy local specialties, but instead found Lin Dong, the county magistrate of Jiangling City, and entrusted him to help prepare some local specialties.
Lin Dong, as the county magistrate of Jiangling City, has been an official in Jiangling City for three years. He naturally knew what good things and local specialties there were in Jiangling City.
"Madam, I'm going to bother you!"
After Lin Dong agreed to Mr. Xu's request, he handed over the purchase to his wife Shen.
It is naturally impossible for Shen to refuse.
When Shen took the people around him to the street to buy various Jiangling local products, Lin Dong was secretly meeting a special visitor.
"Soul, the Marquis of Wucheng has decided to return to Anshun County the next day. Do you really need your subordinates to lead them to keep them?"
At this moment, Lin Dong, the county magistrate who was high above Jiangling City, was standing humbly in front of a middle-aged scholar. The middle-aged scholar was a disciple of the Taoist Lord of the Calamity, and Zhang Yi, the juren.
"unnecessary!"
"Besides, you can't keep it!"
Zhang Yi looked at Lin Dong with a faint look, "You only need to do one thing now, that is, buy grain. When Marquis Wu Cheng left Jiangling City, he would immediately send someone to the southwest. This is related to whether my fortune can establish a Taoist country on earth!"
"I understand!"
Lin Dong quickly responded.
Who would have thought that Lin Dong, the son-in-law of the Changshan Shen family, was a good future, was actually a disciple of the Taoist Tao. Moreover, while people all over the world were shouting and killing the Taoist Taoist Taoist, Lin Dong still remained unchanged in the Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist. This was simply a crazy believer.
"I still have some things to go to the capital. You will be left to you with all the matters here. Don't make any mistakes, otherwise no one can protect you!"
"Please rest assured by the Holy Son."
Lin Dong bowed again and replied with great respect.
In Jiangling City, Lin Dong is the well-deserved local emperor. Because he is backed by the Shen family of Changshan, even the prefect of Jiangzhou Prefecture has to give him some face.
As for Mr. Xu as Marquis of Wucheng, Lin Dong was not very afraid of him. In his opinion, Mr. Xu was indeed very strong, but no matter how strong a person was, he was just one person. He raised thousands of dead soldiers in Jiangling City, the real dead soldiers, the kind who was not afraid of death.
Zhang Yi nodded with satisfaction.
Zhang Yi had no doubt about the loyalty of the disciples of the Taoist disciples who had become rats crossing the street under the will of the court and were beaten by everyone.
Speaking of which, the reason why the Tao of Calamity is so difficult to eliminate is not only because the Tao of Calamity is very useful to those nobles, but more importantly, although the Tao of Calamity is a sect, it has two inheritance lines: light and dark.
For example, Lin Dong is a disciple of the Taoist robbery on the secret line.
Most of the disciples of the Dao of the Dao of the Tribulation who betrayed the Dao of the Tribulation were disciples on the Ming line.
In terms of loyalty, the disciples of Taoism on the secret line are obviously above those of the disciples on the explicit line.
...
Zhang Yi did not stay in Jiangling City for too long. He separated from the Taoist Lord of the Calamity this time, but he was preparing to go to the capital to see if he could not find the saint Du Qingruo who had lost contact.
After the Taoist Lord of the Tribulation accepted Zhang Yi as his disciple, he traveled around the world and finally went to the southwest of the Tang Dynasty. He was already preparing to see the Taoist kingdom of the Tribulation in the human world in the southwest.
This is undoubtedly an act of rebellion.
As the saying goes, before the troops move, food and grass will come first.
During this period, Jieyun Dao took the initiative to use his disciples and disciples on Jieyun Dao's secret line to secretly hoard food and grass. As long as there is enough food and grass, he could easily gain the loyalty of the leaders of the tribes in the southwest of the Tang Dynasty.
This kind of loyalty obtained through bribery is not very loyal.
But the Taoist Lord of the Calamity is not a fool. As long as he establishes a Taoist country, he will have a way to control the hearts of the people and the morale of the army. As long as the hearts of the people and the morale of the army are in hand, the so-called leader of the tribes in the southwest is destined to become a thing of the past.
All plans have been unfolded in an orderly manner, and before the final establishment of the Taoist Kingdom, the Taoist Lord must find the former saint Du Qingruo and use Du Qingruo as the queen.
It’s not that the Taoist Lord of the Calamity does not want to be the lord of this Taoist Kingdom himself, but that he does not have the fortune of dragons.
Without Long Yun, even if he becomes the lord of the Taoist Kingdom, he will eventually lose his power. As a descendant of the royal family of the previous dynasty, Du Qingruo does have Long Yun residues on him.
