Follow General Cao to mix the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 373 Preliminary Meeting
Wang Hou has really changed people's lives. For example, at this breakfast stand, the fried dough sticks used to be fried by the fried dough sticks maker every morning, but now it is the eternal fire altar at the street corner. Please come back with a holy fire. After the fire is lit I have to pray to the fire, thanking the One God for the light and warmth in the world.

Wang Hou also played himself into it, and finally eliminated the threat of cult rebellion in his own territory. He just slept comfortably when he returned to Xiaobieye by the sea at night, but it was so early in the morning that Lu Ji, the Red Festival plus a Sakura Ji wakes up with him, and if he wants to die, he has to surround the altar of eternal fire that he also built in his own house, and pray to the flames that the Taiyi God will give the Wang family a big fat son soon. !
Let your husband sleep well for a while, don’t worry about how many big fat sons are there, they are so sleepy in front of Lie Yan, Wang Hou is just saying that he has committed a crime and can’t live!

After the heresy tried Ruohong, the Eternal Flame Order did not settle down. The trial became addicted, and the Rose Flame Knights expanded to 50 people to patrol between the island and Rizhao. It is within their hunting scope to dance with them to be a good wizard and god.

At present, the rights of the Rose Flame Knights have not been abused, although I don't know what will happen in the future.

Then on the other side, Yu Ji was so sad that he had to go down the mountain again. Although the entire Eternal Flame Cult has nothing to do with him from naming to organizational form and even teaching, but the whole sect is targeting him In the name of "bluffing and deceiving", in name he is his disciple and grandson.

Wang Hou was confident when he went up the mountain. Now that the church is going to expand, new temples will be set up in Linzi and Rizhao, and missionaries are needed. You can do it yourself!If you recruit someone with bad character who cheats, deceives and bullies men, you will lose face as an old man!
It is estimated that this time the old man will be so angry that he will lose a year and a half of his life, but in Wang Houqi's smile that makes people want to slap them both, Yu Ji, who cherishes his feathers, still has to go down the mountain.

The Council of the Eternal Flame and the Eternal Flame Seminary were established again in the Temple of the Island City through the hard work of the old man.

Just like the western aristocrats, the bastards, illegitimate children, peripheral children, and true Daoists who are really fascinated by the "Taiping Jing" from various big families in Qingzhou have gathered in Qingzhou to enroll and become the follow-up force of the religious order. .

The Senate is composed of more than a dozen priests and respected old Taoists who are responsible for evaluating the students who graduated from the seminary. From here, the Han Dynasty built a thatched hut in the wild forests in the mountains, raised some chickens and planted some herbs. The era of self-proclaimed Taoist priests has passed. Only Zhenger Bajing who has studied the "Taiping Jing" and the doctrine of eternal fire through the seminary in depth, and has obtained the certification of the religious order, is eligible to call himself a Taoist priest!

There is a special missionary group for preaching, there are Taoist doctors staying behind in the temple, and some ascetic monks do not show their faces. They just stay in the backyard of the temple all day long to meditate on nature, spirit and doctrine, as well as the jury and armed forces. Even if there is an organization for recruiting and promoting talents, the eternal fire seems to be burning brightly in the east.

The mental anesthesia for this big guy who has been suffering and suffering with him is ready, and Wang Hou has also started to prepare for the next move. Don't forget that he promised Mr. Cao that in the next spring, he will garner millions of grains for the conquest of Wuhuan and the complete destruction of the Yuan family. , Let alone a million, he didn't even ship a hundred loads out of Qingzhou.

…………

"Lost lambs, the benevolent Heavenly Father Taiyi God is watching us, accept his fraternity, and take refuge in his embrace!"

Under the window, a preacher of Eternal Flame could be heard hissing and preaching vigorously while holding a staff, and the passing citizens were praying nearby!After closing the window with a bang, Jia Xu paced back to the meeting table with a gloomy old face.

But this place also made him uncomfortable, because it was more dignified and orderly than the two thousand stone officials, and he actually had to stay with a few merchants for meetings, especially one who ran a brothel.

Ok!Guan Zhong also opened a brothel back then!
Can only secretly comfort himself in this way, Jia Xu put the treatment end in his hand on the table, and his voice was still weak to report.

"The Heishan bandits and [-] reserve soldiers brought by Zhang Yan from Hebei were invested. In two months, Weicheng Port opened a total of [-] ponds and built a total of [-] ships. However, according to the order of the prefecture, the focus was on shipbuilding. , The port area has not been built, only the pier has been repaired first!"

"If Zhou Mu is expropriated, the owners of the Island City Chamber of Commerce can gather about forty large ships for Zhou Mu to use, but there are ships, and sailors..."

Successful people often see farther than others, such as nonsense, when he was in Rizhao Port, he was the first to see the shortcoming of insufficient transport capacity between the two ports, and now many migratory families have declined and are no different from ordinary people , He relies on the Hu family's horse and carriage business to operate, but he has become a big local tyrant who owns two thousand cars, ten thousand cattle and horses, and more than twenty large and small ships.

Other wealthy merchants from island city families are still tired of the Xuzhou Chamber of Commerce that was suddenly squeezed together by Wang Hou. It was also Hu Yan who first saw the benefits of joining together and took the lead in supporting Wang Hou’s policies. Now the president of the Island City Chamber of Commerce, he Sitting firmly, even Wang Hou reciprocated by applying for the Viscount of Qing County to Mr. Cao for him!
But this kid is really slippery, knowing that Wang Hou needs to use a boat, we actively cooperated, and took the opportunity to throw out the problems he encountered.

Shortage of sailors!
In fact, this problem not only plagued Qingzhou maritime merchants in this era, even in the peak period of the British Empire in later generations, it was always facing the problem of lack of sailors. Throughout most of the period of the British Empire, the Royal Navy and merchant ships of various trading companies, sailors The numbers are only two-thirds full.

Even if the so-called sheep-cannibal enclosure movement in the UK drove farmers out of the land, the farmers who flooded into the cities would rather go to sweatshops and be exploited for 25 hours of labor a day than to be sailors with this generous salary.

After all, the sea is too dangerous and too unknown!Moreover, when sailing on the sea, it is too common to see no land for a month or a few months. If you have a life to make money, you have nowhere to spend it, so what is the use of having money?
The situation in Qingzhou is similar now. Although the previous land bonus is gone now, tens of thousands of plantations have been built around it, and the supply of goods is sufficient. The government no longer subsidizes the cultivation of plantations, and the contracted land in the island city has to pay extra money to the government. Buying, but working as a porter at the dock, as a porter, as a helper in a sugar factory or a winery, or as a helper in a plantation, you can survive. There are still too few voluntary adventures in the sea.

Even Wang Hou's own Qingzhou fishing fleet is facing a shortage of sailors!
Still not detached from the feudal consciousness of the East, he stared at Wang Hou with nonsense, hoping that he would drive 3 to [-] ducks into the sea to become sailors as soon as he gave an order, which was rude and simple.

It's just that what he thought was simple, but Wang Hou was in a dilemma. It was difficult to recruit sailors. No matter how forcefully he ordered the recruitment of sailors, wouldn't it make the people more tired of going to sea?Do you fear the sea?
Hu Yan looked at him, and Wang Hou looked at Mr. Gao Tie Gao who sat on the other side of the round table and was dressed like a male monster.

"It doesn't matter to me. Those who owe gambling debts to the gambling house now have a thick ledger. However, the Lord State Shepherd took the rules too seriously before, so he could only owe it first. If the Lord has such a wide hand, hundreds of sailors will definitely make up for it. Come out, give some more time, no matter how much!

Hu Yan responded with restraint, and the high-speed rail that can be played with three teachings and nine streams completely treats the face as the sole of the shoe. It seems that until the Song Dynasty, adults were not synonymous with officials, specifically referring to the elders in the family. As long as he can let him go to collect debts, He is willing to call Wang Hou uncle, do you think it is cheap!
But being cheap also has its advantages, Wang Hou still nodded helplessly in distress.

"Okay, I owe you a hundred guan... Forget it, fifty guan, let you go to collect the debt, I will say hello to Gangcheng County, and leave you alone!"

"Thank you Zhou Mu!"

It's better to send those rotten gamblers to the sea to eat and drink than to force the good people!Besides, gamblers are generally bold and careful people, even if they are not careful, they are at least bold!Let them go on an adventure at sea, maybe it will have a miraculous effect!
The sailor quenched his thirst a bit, and Wang Hou turned his attention to Su Shuang, the president of the Xuzhou Chamber of Commerce.

"President Su, how much can Xu Liang make this year!"

But as soon as this was mentioned, Su Shuang's eyebrows turned into a caterpillar in embarrassment...
