The literary giants of the late Ming Dynasty began by copying books

Yan Siqi looked around curiously and saw two of the dozen fast horses in the distance leading the way. On one horse was an old man wearing a Taoist robe, and on the other was a tall and tall young man.

Everyone came to the temple on horseback and got off their horses surrounded by a group of believers. Zhu Fengshi looked at the victims in the distance and nodded with satisfaction and said: "There are a lot of people here. It seems that our bank is really effective."

The people responsible for disaster relief in Zhangzhou Diocese were Zhu Fengshi's disciples, and more than 800 taels of money were deposited here alone.

Wang Wenlong stood in front of the temple and listened to the conversation between Zhu Fengshi and his disciples, but his eyes were fixed on the number of people coming in and out of the temple. After a while, he turned around and asked the people around him: "What is the ratio of disaster relief applications to approved grants?"

Zhu Fengshi's disciples quickly replied: "It's probably fifty-six out of ten to return to Duke Jianyang."

Wang Wenlong nodded and asked, "Is the person responsible for the review someone from your sect? Where is he from?"

"He is a local brother in my religion, he is the most shrewd."

Wang Wenlong frowned slightly, thought for a while and looked at Zhu Fengshi beside him and said, "I also have some auditors who want to join this temple to audit the loan qualifications."

Zhu Fengshi was stunned for a moment, then nodded awkwardly.

If the person responsible for the audit was a disciple of Zhu Fengshi, Wang Wenlong would not be able to say anything. Since it was a local Xia Jiaozhong in Zhangzhou who was responsible for the audit, Wang Wenlong would not be polite - the local auditors review their local loan qualifications, and only if there are no problems There is a ghost.

Haicheng County is one of the counties with the largest capital inflows and outflows in Fujian, and the amount of loans during this disaster is also among the top. When Wang Wenlong came today, he had already transferred an official from the Chief Envoy Si Yamen and directly sent someone to take office.

The moment the news spread, it sparked heated discussions among the people lining up outside.

This is Wang Wenlong’s credibility in Fujian.

Many people suspect that the Xia Church favors believers, and many people join the sect temporarily in order to obtain disaster relief funds. When they heard that Wang Jianyang directly brought people to help with the review, everyone was instantly happy, and many people whispered to each other.

At this moment, Yan Siqi saw his brother walking out of the temple dejectedly.

The elder brother walked up to Yan Siqi and said disappointedly: "He said that our family is not in the most difficult situation and can only wait for the appointment. I told them that our family's land is about to be taken away. Those who believe in religion do not give them face. They just bully us new converts." Yes, I taught the old man a few words but then passed..."

Yan Siqi asked his brother in a low voice: "Have they written about us?"

"What to write? Ask about the situation and tell me if you can't do it, I will kick you out."

Yan Siqi said: "It's okay then, go and line up again."

His brother was doubtful, but had no choice but to queue up again. Soon the two brothers found that many people queued up to apply for disaster relief funds after seeing Wang Wenlong's arrival. They were considered early and waited until the afternoon. It's your turn.

Yan Siqi waited at the temple gate for a while and saw his brother running out of the temple happily.

"This time, I was rewarded! He gave us ten taels of silver and asked our family to plant sweet potatoes this season to repay the debt. Finally, we have seeds in our family!"

At this time, Wang Wenlong and Zhu Fengshi had already left together. Yan Siqi couldn't help but look solemn after hearing this, and held his hands in the direction of Wang Wenlong's departure. “This is Mr. Jianyang’s kindness!”

……

Wang Wenlong and people from the Trinity Church are busy promoting new crops and relieving victims in Fujian. It is estimated that due to their promotion this year, the sweet potato planting area in Fujian will at least double. Wang Wenlong will definitely gain the support of Fujian people because of this, but it will attract But it's not all praise.

After working hard for more than half a month, two-thirds of the money from the Trinity Church Disaster Relief Bank had been used up. When he returned to Fuzhou, Wang Wenlong picked up various newspapers in the editorial department.

The first page he opened was an article attacking Trinity Church's disaster relief efforts.

The author of the article is called Haike, and his writing is quite sharp. He wrote in the article:

"Today, there is a kind of vegetarian demon servant and the White Lotus Sect and others. They are all the thieves of the Five Pecks of Rice. This kind of evil method can be found everywhere. If the public does not take it, it will eventually lead to disaster. Lin Zhaoen teaches people to cure it with the method of Genbei. Because the illness was slightly cured, his disciples and followers gathered together and taught him from generation to generation. There was a lecture hall with incense and incense at the place where Zhao En died, and there were gatherings at the end of the month. Gai was also a member of the Yellow Turban and White Lotus... These believers tended to fall into heresy without realizing it. You know, now we are waiting for a big disaster, and you suddenly donate money to people and call it relief, how can this person have such a heart? Seeing that he is confusing the people with this slogan, I don’t know what he is going to do!"

This article directly questions the original intention of the Trinity Church to provide disaster relief. There is no evidence but it says that they want to call on farmers to revolt, and they are definitely attacking based on the roots of the Trinity Church.

Wang Wenlong sneered. He knew what these people were thinking. The Fujian disaster was a good time for mergers. Originally, many farmers and merchants would go bankrupt during this famine. Trinity Education set up banks to provide disaster relief, which caused many large landowners to lose their merger opportunities. Naturally, this will cause dissatisfaction among the wealthy gentry.

It's a pity that these people don't know that this disaster relief is backed by Xu Xueju and Jin Xuezeng. As long as the uprising of the members of the Trinity Church is controlled, no matter how big the uprising becomes, the Fujian Yamen will still be on the side of the Trinity Church.

And can Trinity revolt? In the original history, there was no uprising in the Trinity Church at all. They used medical treatment methods to recruit people. They did have the legacy of the Five Pecks of Rice Sect, but Wang Wenlong also knew the saying "the butt determines the head."

The Trinity Sect does not rely on talisman water but on the Nine-Sequence Mental Method to cure diseases. People who have the leisure to maintain their health and practice the Nine-Sequence Mental Method can at least have a full stomach. They are all the profit class of the Ming Dynasty. How can they revolt?

The obstruction of these landowners is simply adding to the chaos. The Trinity Church disaster relief has already been half-prompted, and now such threats will definitely delay the disaster relief work, not to mention these people's random talk, even Wang Wenlong's Women's Textile Factory because the shareholder is The higher-level members of Sanyi were also scolded by them, which was in conflict with Wang Wenlong's interests in all aspects.

Wang Wenlong was so angry after reading Haike's article that he went to Deng Zhimo and asked, "Brother, do you know who this Haike is?"

Deng Zhimo replied: "Fang Haike, whose name is Ke Zhuang, is from Shandong. He has been coming to Fuzhou Guest House for half a year and has become famous in the past few months."

"Fang Kezhuang?" Wang Wenlong read the name and then sneered, "Who am I to say? No wonder the article is so powerful."

This Fang Anke and Wang Wenlong know very well. The Donglin Party boss in the original history was ranked eighth among the generals in Dongling Point.

Wang Wenlong knew that this man would be able to pass the Jinshi examination in a few years in his previous life, and the main records of his life in his previous life include:

When inspecting the Huaihe River, he refused to accept hundreds of thousands of taels of bribes; during the struggle against the eunuchs, he and the Donglin Party members jointly signed a petition to execute Wei Zhongxian, so he was almost killed; after the Qing soldiers entered the customs, they killed the Dashun Army in Qingzhou County who resisted the Qing soldiers. Order; to dedicate Qingzhou to the Qing army; for his dedication to the city, he served as Minister of Dali Temple in the Qing Dynasty, and was promoted along the way: minister of the Ministry of Justice, censor of Zuodu. He died of illness in the tenth year of Shunzhi. After his death, the Qing court commended him for his integrity and gave him the posthumous title "Shaobao". An Ke".

Wang Wenlong directly spread paper and ink and wrote an article to refute. The content of the rebuttal was very practical: the Women's Textile Factory donated one thousand taels for disaster relief this year, and the money donated to buy potato seeds alleviated the famine in more than a dozen villages. These are all real good things. Mr. Haike and others spoke eloquently. In fact, they don't care about people's livelihood.

Originally, Wang Wenlong hoped that his reply would provide some positive support, but unexpectedly he stung a hornet's nest.
