Infinite Script Killing
Chapter 376 Qimen Upgrade
In order to take care of the poor, the porridge factory was placed in the south corner of the city by Best Tong. Those who could not afford to eat every day could exchange a copper coin for a large bowl of porridge.
This price... is equivalent to the price of a bowl of noodles for one penny in real life.
Different from the chicken feather shop, although the price is also one penny, the cost of the chicken feather shop is very small. Calculated at the current winter price, a bowl of porridge costs at least 30 pennies.
There was no way that the Datong Dynasty used silver as the main currency, and the price of rice was also pegged to silver. One penny of silver could be exchanged for about a pound of rice. Ordinary people could not eat rice all year round and could only eat brown rice to survive.
Xu Tong is a man who doesn't care about money, so he has an abundant supply of rice.
So that some ordinary residents in the surrounding area came to eat porridge. In order to prevent fake claims, before eating porridge, they not only have to kneel down and pray to the Immortal of Fortune three times and pray humbly, but the porridge has also been tampered with by Senju and others, making it taste worse than brown rice. Unpalatable.
After Xu Tong arrived with Lerou, the most worrying thing happened. Several official officials were already lying in front of the porridge factory.
Huo Wuji was standing in front of the gate with his hands on his hips, confronting these officials with a cold face.
The leading officials were in a stalemate with Huo Wuji with dark faces.
This newly opened porridge factory has long been favored by these gangsters, but they have been suffering from no excuse. According to past experience, if it is a porridge factory opened by a wealthy businessman in the capital or an official, the higher-ups will have said hello to it long ago.
Or maybe a sign is simply hung at the door. When everyone takes a look, oh, it turns out that so-and-so is preparing to have a child and accumulate some moral virtue for himself.
But this porridge factory opened inexplicably. There was no special greeting from above, and there was no sign in front of the door. They sent people to inquire, but they didn't find out the reason.
This is not to blame Qianju and the others for not knowing how to behave. In fact, it was Xu Tong who told them to only use Fu Xian's name to build the porridge factory, not his.
After all, the name Ma Hongwen is really a bad name in the capital, and it is definitely to the extent that a child would not dare to cry at night.
If his name were really reported, these people would probably curse Ma Hongwen's eighteenth generation ancestors when eating porridge, and their awe and gratitude to Fu Xian would be greatly reduced.
Anyway, I don’t plan to do it for a long time, so I can avoid having to deal with all the ups and downs.
It's just a coincidence. Who would have thought that people from the new school would make such a big deal so soon?
He had to come to the rescue.
Before Xu Tong could get closer, a red light penetrated into the entrance of the hall behind him. The red light suddenly changed, and the fluffy and white tail spread out. Even if he was a fox, he always gave people a different kind of charm, which made people very happy. I want to hold it in my arms and rub it hard.
"Headmaster, you..."
Da Ya originally wanted to complain to Xu Tong, but as soon as she fell into the hall, she found that Xu Tong was completely lifeless and was shocked.
"It's okay. It's temporary. It will get warmer later."
"Oh! Headmaster, this is not a joke!"
Da Ya secretly breathed a sigh of relief and thought to herself, this scares me, if you get cold, wouldn't we be in bad luck with you?
Then Daya briefly explained the matter to Xu Tong.
The matter was not complicated. Qianju and the others acted relatively appropriately, without killing anyone.
Just let Huo Wuji take action to frighten these officers and soldiers.
Didn't make things get too serious.
As Da Ya was talking, she heard a rush of footsteps behind her.
Looking back, a large number of officers and soldiers had already surrounded and suppressed them, and this time people from the patrol battalion and the infantry battalion were also here. Xu Tong even saw a steam gun sizing up the new equipment.
In fact, this is not an exaggeration at all. After all, at the critical moment of hunting down the rebels, if you encounter someone who dares to resist openly, you will naturally rise from a ruffian to the level of anti-terrorism.
"Hahahaha, you are looking for death, so don't blame us for not giving you a way to live."
When the foremen of the government offices came to see the reinforcements, they straightened their backs. Huo Wuji at the door frowned and looked a little nervous.
He had no pressure at all to deal with these ordinary officers and soldiers, but the ones he saw were all regular troops, and he even saw steam guns that made him afraid. The Westerners were extremely lethal, and once they reached a large scale, their lethality was even more terrifying.
Fortunately, just when Huo Wuji was thinking about whether to find a way to rush out first before talking, he inadvertently saw Xu Tong standing behind with a smile on his face.
Seeing Master Ma whom he was thinking about, Huo Wuji suddenly felt reassured. He looked at the foremen of the government offices with disdain, hands on hips, and said with a smile on his face, "I think I may not be the one seeking death."
"presumptuous!"
The leading general's face suddenly fell when he saw Huo Wuji being so arrogant: "Let you people come out and capture them without mercy, otherwise I..."
Before General Shen could finish his words, he was interrupted by another person's arrogant voice: "What else will you do? At the feet of the Emperor, are you still planning to lead someone to rob him??"
Everyone looked back and saw a young man walking over holding a girl.
The general wanted to call someone to escort the two men, but he just took a closer look and wondered why this young man looked so familiar. ?
Is it possible that the precious young master of my immediate boss doesn’t look familiar?
This general can be regarded as a fourth-grade military attache, and he must visit Ma's house during holidays.
It is impossible to say that you have never seen Ma Hongwen, but you just didn't notice it at first glance.
By the time he recognized Ma Hongwen, Xu Tong had already pulled Lerou to the front.
Then...he kicked the general in the abdomen.
"Bold!!"
The surrounding officials raised their swords in unison.
Even the muzzle of the gun was pointed at Xu Tong's head. As long as the general said a word, these two daring guys could be beaten into a hornet's nest in an instant.
"Don't!"
"Don't do it!!!"
However, the actions of these idiots almost scared the general to the point of peeing. He ignored the pain in his lower abdomen and quickly waved his hand to stop Xu Tong. He raised his hand and slapped the closest confidants on the head.
"Put it down, put it down, put your gun down. Are you pigs? Put it down quickly."
The sword was okay, but if those steam guns went off fire, my whole family would be buried with him.
"Hmph, sir, you have such great authority."
Xu Tong became sarcastic on the side.
"This... Mr. Ma, this is just... a routine matter."
Jiang Shenjiang looked embarrassed, cursing in his mind that he was unlucky and had to offend someone, why is it this little devil.
Xu Tong ignored him, walked up to Huo Wuji and asked him to open the door.
"Go in and search, but don't disturb Fu Xian."
After saying that, he walked aside, picked up the long incense on the table where Fu Xian was enshrined, and respectfully offered incense to Fu Xian.
I couldn't help but think: "I have to share my own incense with Mr. Wenyuan, does it count as a loss??"
"this……"
Jiang Shenjiang was unsure of what he was going to eat. He would definitely not be able to do it without a search. At this critical juncture, he could not explain why he openly resisted the arrest without a search. If he searched, he would be afraid of offending this little devil.
After a while, Jiang Shenjiang gritted his teeth and took the two people in for a symbolic walk before walking out dejectedly.
"It's a misunderstanding, it's a misunderstanding! This is a porridge factory opened by Fu Xian for everyone. Wherever there are new school students and rebels, Mr. Ma, it's all a misunderstanding."
Xu Tong shook his head and pointed at the leading government officials: "I don't think it's a misunderstanding."
Jiang Shenjiang looked back and saw that the foremen of the government offices were already there, their faces turning blue and white.
Jiang Shenling also climbed up from the bottom. He knew what was going on when he saw their expressions, and thought to himself: "It's just you pig brains that are causing trouble for me."
His face immediately darkened: "Take him back and put him in jail. Once the rebels are captured, we will deal with him as well!"
"My lord, have mercy on me! My lord, have mercy on me, we were just confused for a moment, my lord!"
Several foremen seemed to realize that they had kicked the iron plate this time, and they knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
But the officers and soldiers didn't care about this and escorted them out.
This scene was really seen by the people hiding in the chicken room.
"That's Ma Hongwen??"
"That's right, it's him!"
"Didn't you say that this guy does all kinds of evil?"
"No, it kills more people than you eat."
"Look, he is kneeling in front of Fu Xian, is he repenting? I heard that Fu Xian has boundless magic power and great supernatural powers. Fu Xian must have influenced him."
Everyone was chattering, and their impression of Ma Hongwen was obviously extremely bad. The words "correct evil and return to righteousness" can often be seen in books. No one will believe you if you say it.
But if you attribute this matter to gods, it will be different. In people's fixed thinking, gods are supreme and can influence all living beings. It seems that their favorite thing is to persuade evil people to be good, to put down the butcher knife and become a Buddha immediately.
So when everyone subconsciously associated this matter with Fu Xian, everything became natural.
This also minimized the influence of the three words Ma Hongwen on Fu Xian to the lowest range.
After the officials left, Xu Tong didn't dare to stay here any longer. He told Qian Shu and the other three to be careful and careful in the recent period before leaving in a hurry.
As soon as Xu Tong left, the common people hiding in the corner rushed out and began to kneel before the statue of Fu Xian.
For a time, the rumor that Fu Xian persuaded Ma Hongwen to change his ways became more and more widespread.
There was an endless stream of pilgrims coming to pay homage that night, and some wealthy businessmen even came over on their own initiative to donate money and materials, hoping that the porridge factory could last longer.
At this time, Ma Hongwen's appearance in the porridge factory not only did not damage Fu Xian's image, but also raised Fu Xian to a new level in the word of mouth among these people.
There has even been a snowball effect, with more and more wealthy businessmen coming to donate money and materials.
This was something Xu Tong never expected.
But if you think about it carefully, you will understand what's going on. Without him, it's just to save your life.
Nowadays, people from the new school of thought are being arrested everywhere. The new policies of the new school of thought advocate believing in so-called science and destroying all temples.
The fact that I am donating money and materials to Fu Xian is proof that I have nothing to do with the new school of thought.
Of course, it's not just that, it's also because Ma Hongwen stands in front of him and endorses it. Ma Hongwen naturally has no influence, but his father does.
Admiral Jiumen, a loyal lackey of the Xiang family, whether he is a rebel or not is not a matter of his father's words.
Some wealthy businessmen had even gotten some information from Ma Hongwen's prospective father-in-law, and they guessed that the porridge factory was opened by Ma Hongwen. Now none of the wealthy businessmen would invest money.
They don't lack money, what they lack is a protective umbrella.
The joining of these wealthy businessmen greatly changed the scale and resources of the porridge factory, and Xu Tong's Qimen directly broke through to the LV4 level that night.
