Smelting and Exploding the Heavens

Chapter 308

The task prompted by the system was officially completed after the Beggar Gang's influence in Yangzhou City was uprooted.

At the beginning, the bloody assassination method to eliminate Hu Mazi and his subordinates was not a complete extermination of the beggar gang.

After all, Hu Mazi is just the leader of a group of villains who have done all kinds of bad things, and the Beggars' Gang is a relatively scattered organization.

Only when black and white join forces to strike and make it completely devoid of living soil can it be truly wiped out.

"Mission [-]: The Yangzhou Beggar Gang specializes in stealing, abducting, swindling, prostitution, etc., and shares the underground world of Yangzhou City with the Maitreya Sect. Now that the Maitreya Sect is declining, the Beggar Gang is also extending its black hands to ordinary believers, and it is the rise of the Demon Sect. , to eliminate the gang of beggars, Yangzhou City can only have one faction. (Completed)
Reward: [-] proficiency points;"

On the day the task was completed, the Maitreya Sect officially became the only undeniable underground force in Yangzhou City, and its tentacles reached out to every ordinary people struggling to survive at the bottom.

To attract the hearts of the people with free free clinics and help orphans and widows, and then through daily donations, in the name of Chenghuang Temple, to promote religious ideas to educate believers, and also to teach literacy for free, and then use the huge power of the people in their hands to stand out and communicate with all kinds of people. Fang Haoqiang game.

Similar to the trade unions of later generations, the Maitreya Church has special representatives to negotiate with the leaders of the Cao Gang, the shopkeepers of the wharf and warehouses, as well as car dealers, foot stores, workshops and other forces to ensure the basic survival interests of the people at the bottom.

If they disagree, the Maitreya Sect will organize the low-level people to strike, and the government is afraid of causing a civil uprising, so they can only persuade those businessmen and workshop owners.

This move, of course, will touch the interests of the major forces in the region. Many people grit their teeth with hatred for the Maitreya Sect. However, considering the great achievements made by the new leader of the Maitreya Sect since he succeeded to the throne, everyone is quite afraid.

I was afraid that the blind man would run into other people's houses in the middle of the night to slaughter the whole family, and the little benefits given to the bottom-level bitter people would not take up the bulk, but could also arouse their enthusiasm for work, so I gritted my teeth and endured it.

But all forces in Yangzhou City are waiting for the final result of the war organized by the three sects.

The people at the bottom who have benefited from the benefits have more firm support for the Maitreya Sect. Many people actively request to become the official followers of the Maitreya Sect. However, the Maitreya Sect has strict censorship and needs to go through multiple tests and recommendations from at least three people. Can join, and the recommender cannot be a relative of the recommendee.

Therefore, even after the extermination of the Beggar Gang, nearly half a year later, the reputation of the Maitreya Sect has spread, but there are only more than two hundred people in the official church.

It seems that although there are few people, they are all the people with the most fanatical thoughts, the most determined will, and the most simple minds. Once they enter the religion, they must accept all kinds of reforms from thought to culture to physique, which is extremely strict.

Each of them scattered to the bottom, can bring at least hundreds of thousands of people out to support fanatically.

Compared with the Wenxiang Sect and the White Lotus Sect, if all kinds of messy things are recruited into the sect, not only will there be many factions, but the internal atmosphere will also become smoky, and everyone will seek personal gain.

It is okay to fight against the wind, but if the wind blows against it, it is likely that the tree will fall and the monkey will disperse immediately. Therefore, even if Fan Zhuoyuan does not rule the roost by personal force, he has never been afraid of these two seemingly huge sects, they are all paper tigers.

But all of the above cost a lot, and Maitreya Sect is not like the other two sects, which will forcefully collect teaching fees from the low-level believers.

It seems that this kind of economic consumption cannot be maintained for a long time, but because of the large amount of manpower in hand, the effective use of these manpower can generate sufficient economic benefits.

Now three wineries have been built in the suburbs, and all of them are put into production and operation.

The three wineries produce fine wines of three grades: high, medium and low. The recipes are all found by Fan Zhuoyuan from the palace in his previous life. From ordinary white wine, to red wine, to rice wine and even beer, they all have everything that one expects to find.

Due to the excellent appearance of the wine, coupled with the huge non-governmental communication channels, there is no need to advertise, and it will be broadcast quickly and far away as soon as it goes on the market. It quickly occupied the market in Yangzhou City and is widely sold in major restaurants.

With the rapid marketing of the Grand Canal and the Yangtze River to the east, west, north, south, and north, the production capacity in the winery will soon be insufficient, and a large amount of manpower will be needed to assist in production and expand the scale of the winery.

And manpower has never been what the Maitreya Sect lacks...

In addition to fine wine, they also set up glass and mirror workshops in Yangzhou City, opened up weaving workshops widely, and even bought boats to start river transport trade.

In the future, when the power expands to Jinling, it is necessary to do sea transportation, and that kind of income will be Jinshan Yinhai.

With a little investment in the bottom-level people, the Maitreya Sect will earn more benefits from other aspects, and this is the long-term way.

It also made the core members of the sect admire Fan Zhuoyuan's various actions. If he used force to occupy the position of leader at the beginning, there are still people below who are not convinced.

But at this moment, everyone has been convinced, even Liang Tianyi and Elder Pan are willing to concentrate on their affairs.

After the meeting that day, Cheng Shiyao did not return to Suzhou.

Because her adoptive parents Cai Bo and Aunt Cai didn't want to leave, they still stayed in the teaching room and were busy all day long.

Although Cheng Shiyao doesn't travel all over the world, she has a wide range of horizons when she meets people from all walks of life in Suzhou.

She is well aware that the Maitreya Sect is now exterminating the Beggar Gang and subduing the Liangjiang Escorts. Its momentum is like a rainbow, just like flowers cooking oil on a fire, but the crisis is hidden in the dark. Except for the two sects, all major local forces are eyeing.

Even the subdued Liangjiang Escorts made frequent small moves, and there must be some bloody fights in Yangzhou City.

Cheng Shiyao was worried about the safety of her adoptive parents, so she decided to stay temporarily, and if the crisis came, she would force her to leave with her parents.

However, living in Yangzhou City for more than half a year has changed her thinking a lot. She realized that religions, especially the Maitreya Sect, are not necessarily a cult organization that deceives foolish men and women, but also benefit the people of the world.

In the past when she was in Suzhou City, Cheng Shiyao was used to playing music with people in teahouses and restaurants, and most of the people who could go to such places were middle class or above.

In Yangzhou, this is a more dynamic city than Suzhou.

The rich people in the city are so extravagant that they often carry a dozen taels of gold powder and sit by the river and throw it in the wind, just to see the dreamlike beauty of the gold powder being blown away under the scorching sun.

The poor are extremely poor, so poor that they live together in wharf workshops and other places. They work hard all day long, and still cannot afford three meals a day. Selling their children and daughters is just like nothing.Just like stalks in the field, when a wind comes, it will fall down, even if there is no wind, it may fall down by itself.

She had seen many such situations before the disaster of Maitreya Sect broke out.

Now, after the Maitreya Sect wiped out the beggar gang and arranged various strategies, in more than half a year, she saw with her own eyes that the situation at the bottom of Yangzhou City had changed greatly.

The poor people are still poor, but they no longer need to sell their children and daughters to make a living, and they can still eat three meals after working hard all day long.

Due to the deterrence of the Maitreya Sect, the Cao Gang at the wharf and the major commercial firms did not dare to treat the coolies too harshly in terms of wages, so that the hardworking people would eventually have spare money.

Cheng Shiyao, who often plays the piano at the bottom, almost watched the life of the bottom people change from lifeless to full of vitality.

She knew that this was all changed by Fan Zhuoyuan's various measures since he became the leader, so she was very curious about how Fan Zhuoyuan did it, and how he turned a cult into an existence that benefited the country and the people.

She still wants to continue to observe and observe what the fate of these people will eventually become.
