Martial Arts: I am in the Ming Cult and I am building a dynasty

He walked to the balcony outside the palace and watched the rolling clouds in the sky.

Yang Zhao sighed once or twice, and soon began his daily exercise.

Soon, a set of guiding boxing techniques was performed by Yang Zhao. Slowly, after two years of daily practice, it had initially taken shape.

After a moment.

Yang Zhao stretched his muscles, walked out of the Yunyu Palace, and had his meal arranged by Xiao Qingyang.

at the same time.

Xiao Qingyang placed a jade talisman between his eyebrows and said with concentration: "Sir, there is news from the Qin Department of the Six Bats Hall that a spy has successfully infiltrated the Luowang, and Kangning Bat has successfully contacted the doctor..."

"Sui's spies have infiltrated the Li clan, the Yuwen clan, the Song clan, and Jiangnan, and are just waiting for time to grow."

"The situation in the Song army is too chaotic, and the spies are scattered. However, we have recently received news that many major events have occurred in the south of the Song Dynasty..."

"The Ming Dynasty is strong, and spies are already trying to enter the kings' forces and the Jinyiwei..."

"The Yuan tribe is too vast, and it is also the main base of our brothers. The spies have already followed the instructions of the young master and left the area controlled by the Mongolians and started to enter the grassland to collect information about the new generation of the Thirteen Wings of the Eternal Heaven."

"Qingbu, the royal family is in name only, and it has become the sphere of influence of Luosha Sect, Tianxiahui, White Lotus Sect and others."

"As for the rest..."

The little blue sheep's voice is clear and crisp, like large and small pearls falling on a jade plate, which is very pleasant to the ear.

Yang Zhao ate while listening, and in his mind he put together a picture of the world's situation, large and small forces, etc.

I am familiar with all the forces in this world.

Even many things were developing according to the plot in Yang Zhao's memory.

But there are exceptions.

For example, all the Murong people in the world are one family.

Two hundred years ago, with the support of Changshengtian in the depths of the grassland, the Xianbei people invaded the Central Plains and established the Yan Kingdom. They were then destroyed by the four great Han dynasties: the Qin, Sui, Song, and Ming.

Murong Chui led a group of his clansmen to flee to the Sui Dynasty.

Murong Ke led a group of his clansmen to escape into seclusion in the Ming Dynasty.

Murong Longcheng led a group of his clansmen to escape to the Song Dynasty.

For example, Xie Xuan, the master of Jiushao Dingyin Sword who lived in seclusion in the Sui Dynasty, was actually a relative of Xie Xiaofeng of the Divine Sword Villa in the Ming Dynasty.

The list goes on and on.

Therefore, a lot of information in Yang Zhao’s memory of his previous life needs to be recalibrated.

Half a moment.

Yang Zhao finished his breakfast in silence before he spoke: "Let's not talk about the forces outside the church for now, what is the situation inside the church?"

The little green sheep blinked his eyes and said, "Everything is normal in the church, except that we are short of money."

"How is that possible? Isn't Elder Gao in charge of the church affairs? Didn't Elder Gao solve the church's financial crisis? Is there any news from Elder Gao? What did he say?"

Yang Zhao was shocked by the sudden news of being short of money and lost his composure a little.

You must know that Yang Zhao brought Gao Zuo and He Ruobi from the Sui Dynasty in order to govern the Ming Cult.

But now, Gao Qiu has been in the job for two months.

Could it be that Gao Zuo's title of "real prime minister" was just exaggerated?

Little Green Sheep said, "Sir, Elder Gao said that our Ming Cult's organizational structure itself has problems, especially in terms of finances. We rely entirely on the fields in the cult and the offerings from the followers."

"Without other financial resources, this income can only last less than two years at best."

Yang Zhao was stunned.

Just look at Xiao Qingyang’s two reports.

The church's finances, under Daiqisi's control, can only last for half a year at most.

But in Gao Qiu's hands, the same financial resources could support him for two years.

Gao Zuo was capable enough to deserve the title of a true prime minister.

Moreover, what Gao Zuo said, "There are problems with the organizational structure of the Ming Cult itself," is very incisive.

When the Ming Cult was first established, it was initially a martial arts sect, and later developed into a military organization that fought against the barbarians.

After it came into Yang Zhao's hands, it expanded rapidly and transformed into an invisible country.

In this process.

What needs to be changed most is actually the change of financial income source.

Chapter 36 Fireworks in March in Jiangnan

Although Yang Zhao was able to expand the Ming Cult's accumulation over the past decades into an invisible country, his expenditure far exceeded his income.

The imbalance between income and expenditure will eventually lead to collapse.

The main source of wealth for a country is always taxes, not people's contributions.

The Ming Cult protects its followers, and the followers may give some tributes every once in a while.

But this is not long-lasting and cannot be used as a support.

When the Ming Cult reached a membership of one million, they would either split or rise up in rebellion.

This is the normal development direction of a martial arts sect or military organization.

But in this world where martial arts are supreme.

If you want to start a rebellion and fight against a powerful dynasty, it will absolutely not work without the deterrence of the highest level of military force.

Otherwise, the Yuan Dynasty would have sent out a Martial Saint at random.

The entire Ming Cult can only wait for death.

Things like military warfare and negotiations can only occur between beings of the same level.

Because real war has no rules.

As a man of mean character, Yang Zhao had neither the intention nor the strength to rebel at this time.

There was silence in the Qiankun Hall for a moment.

After thinking it over again and again, Yang Zhao looked up at the little Qingyang and said, "Qingyang, ask the Bat King what he is doing now. If he has nothing to do, ask him to come over."

The little green sheep quickly picked up the jade talisman for transmitting sound.

After a while, Wei Yixiao, dressed in a green robe, came to the Qiankun Hall.

Yang Zhao motioned for the other party to sit down and said, "Wei Fu Wang, how many wealthy merchants are there in the intelligence records of the Six Fu Hall?"

Wei Yixiao was stunned for a moment, then said without hesitation: "Reporting to the leader, the world's leading wealthy merchants are Ba Qing of Qin, Wu Shigui of Sui, Wang Yuanbao of Sui, An Shigeng of Song, Zhu Baiwan of Song, Wanqiansan of Ming..."

Yang Zhao interrupted and said, "It's him!"

Wei Yixiao raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Wan Qiansan is indeed rich, but Zhu Wusi is behind him..."

Yang Zhao waved his hand and said, "It's someone above the Wanqiansan level."

Wei Yixiao said, "Living God of Wealth Zhu Baiwan? This person is suitable, but it is rumored that Zhu Baiwan's daughter Zhu Qiqi has some relationship with Shen Lang, the number one hero in Jiangnan during the Song Dynasty. If Zhu Baiwan is killed..."

"Kill Zhu Baiwan?"

Yang Zhao was surprised and asked, "Who said they wanted to kill Zhu Baiwan?"

Wei Yixiao was stunned for a moment, and then he said, "Master, this is my guess. I had the audacity to ask Miss Qingyang about your mood, and learned that you were worried about your wealth recently, so I thought..."

Yang Zhao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "So you think I'm going to rob people?"

Wei Yixiao turned his head back silently, laughing awkwardly.

Yang Zhao shook his head and said, "In the Song Dynasty, where merchants have a low status, Zhu Baiwan is famous for his business ethics. He is a golden goose that only lays golden eggs. It is a waste to kill the goose to get the eggs."

Wei Yixiao thought for a moment and said, "So the leader wants to take him in for his own use?"

"That's right!" Yang Zhao nodded and said, "I've been very quiet lately and I'm ready to go to Jianghu. Let's go to the Jiangnan area of ​​the Song Dynasty!"

"Three days later, I will go ahead. After Sisi and Susu have settled their affairs, I will be transferred to the Song Dynasty to open a branch altar."

Expand the Ming Cult, gather luck, and open up financial resources.

These cannot stop.

Before, Yang Zhao was still considering which dynasty other than the Yuan Dynasty to start from.

Now, I have a goal.

Soon, Wei Yixiao left in a hurry after leaving behind a lot of information about the Song Dynasty.

Whether it is opening a branch in the Song Dynasty or Yang Zhao going to the Song Dynasty, the Six Bat Hall, which is in charge of intelligence, must first make major adjustments.

Wei Yixiao, who is in charge of the Six Bats Hall, has even more things to do.

At the same time, Yang Zhao began to carefully read the intelligence about the various forces in the Song Dynasty.

There are four Han dynasties in the world.

The Qin Dynasty was strong and good at fighting, but it had no successor.

The Sui Dynasty was majestic and powerful, but it was also full of powerful families.

The Ming Dynasty was vigorous and resolute, but it lacked flexibility.

Only in the Song Dynasty, the strong were humble, the rich were cowardly, the royal family amused themselves, the gentry lived in drunkenness and dreams, and the rivers and lakes were in endless turmoil.

The Song Dynasty, which has been established for less than a hundred years, has already shown signs of decline despite its rapid prosperity.

In his court, the emperor was extravagant and incompetent, and the six thieves ruled the world.

In the underworld, anti-Hu heroes and blacklisted thieves all made huge profits in the name of gangs.

Under its shadow, the princes continued to grow stronger and foreign tribes became more aggressive.

Without the foundation left by the founding of the Song Dynasty, it would not take long for the entire dynasty to fall apart and be divided up by internal and external forces.

Of course, let’s look at it from another perspective.

At this time, the Song Dynasty was the best breeding ground for all the ambitious people in the world.

It would be a shame not to take advantage of such a good opportunity.

After making a preliminary plan.

Yang Zhao quickly notified the decision to everyone, causing the entire Ming Cult to slowly begin to move forward.

For the next three days, Yang Zhao was entangled by Daiqisi and Yin Susu, and had no rest every day.

Three days later, news came from the Six Bat Hall that they had bribed Xiao Qinyan, the Vice-Chancellor of the Southern Song Dynasty, and obtained an identity plaque for the descendants of Tianbo Mansion and a Western Chu Heritage Garden.

Once you get the Tianbo Mansion descendant badge, you will be a genuine descendant of the Tianbo Mansion and a noble with honors.

The Western Chu Relics Garden was rebuilt from the back garden of the Western Chu royal palace that was destroyed by the Song Dynasty more than a hundred years ago and was included in the list of temporary palaces.

Seeing this, Yang Zhao was also drunk.

Even the title of honor and the royal palace can be bought and sold. What is the difference between this and selling official positions and titles?

The Great Song Dynasty also deserves to be destroyed.

Seven days later.

March 9th.

South of the Song Dynasty, Gusu City, at the gate of the Western Chu Garden.

A luxurious and majestic carriage slowly stopped under the protection of hundreds of armored guards.

This Western Chu Heritage Garden is one of the most magnificent and beautiful manors in Gusu City.

In the Song Dynasty, only ordinary nobles and servants were allowed to wear armor.

Combining the two, all the curious people in Gusu City were staring at the luxurious and majestic carriage, wanting to know who would get off it.

After a moment.

A maid in luxurious clothes walked down the stairs, looked around, and then lifted the curtain of the carriage.
