Zhao Gongming originally thought that as the president of the Central Bank of Da Qi, he had handled several major projects and should have no shortage of experience.
But seeing the housing prices in Quanzhou City changing three times a day, Zhao Gongming had to admit that he was still too young after all.
Thinking back to how noisy I was some time ago, and looking at Lu Chen's expression of being able to sit back and relax, eating and drinking as usual, I knew that he was not worried at all and must have a backup plan.
As for what the back-up plan was, no one told him and Zhao Gongming didn't dare to ask. Anyway, if the sky fell, there would be someone tall to hold it up, so he just had to wait and see.
Lu Chen has not been idle during this period. First, he sent someone to Quanzhou City to conduct market research and roughly figure out the prices of some export goods here.
Secondly, we asked the brothers in charge of civil engineering to look around to see which areas were suitable for bombing and which areas needed to be renovated and rebuilt.
Of course, he also asked Huang Aniu to re-contact the White Lotus Sect here to see if he could return to his roots.
Huang Aniu has been living a good life since he followed Lu Chen.
Not only him, but also the group of people who left the White Lotus Sect with him in the Jiangnan region are now living a pretty good life.
Lu Chen had fulfilled every single thing he had promised them.
If we tell them to eat their fill, we will definitely make sure they have enough to eat every day.
They were told to get married, and not only was a wife arranged for each of them, but they were also given houses.
Huang Aniu was quite strong in the beginning. Ever since he followed Lu Chen back to the capital, the food has improved. Now he has become even bigger and stronger, not looking like a southerner at all.
In fact, some people in Lu Chen's team had complaints about the fact that he spent so much money to support such a group of people.
It’s not that I feel sorry for the two cents, but mainly because these people are from the White Lotus Sect after all, and the other people around Lu Chen are from official backgrounds. There is always a gap between the two sides.
But after the Liao and Jin attacked the city, this statement disappeared. Among those who rushed up the city wall, this group was the craziest.
They were like mad tigers fighting to the death. Even though Lu Chen had taken out many advanced weapons, if it weren't for this group of people blocking the most dangerous place during the most intense siege, it would be hard to say whether the capital of Da Qi could have been defended.
At least half of the people who followed Lu Chen in that battle were killed or injured. Lu Chen treated these people very well, and the remaining half have now become Lu Chen's confidants.
The reason why Huang Aniu was asked to re-contact the White Lotus Sect was because the intelligence from the Jinyiwei also mentioned that there were traces of the White Lotus Sect here.
Although the White Lotus Sect has become increasingly divided under Zi Yan's tireless infiltration, there is already a distinction between the old and new White Lotus Sects.
But in Lu Chen's opinion, if the old White Lotus Sect is not eliminated, it will always be a hidden danger to Da Qi.
Now that we are here, we might as well just destroy the White Lotus Sect in Quanzhou City.
Moreover, if we want to find out the whereabouts of Ma Tong, it is actually best to do so through this kind of low-profile channel.
Although the Jinyiwei were powerful, they could not find out much even if they made a big show of it when they were on guard.
When Huang Aniu first heard that Lu Chen asked him to find the top leaders of the White Lotus Sect and rejoin the sect, he refused.
After all, I have been with this Imperial Master for such a long time, and I have even fought in battles with him, so I have already cleared my name.
Huang Aniu now has the status of an official in the imperial court.
Although their rank is not high, they are still different from ordinary people. For this reason, my mother at home burns incense and worships Buddha all day long.
If you let him return to the White Lotus Sect now, Huang Aniu will feel like a pearl in the dust.
I've been working in this industry for so long and finally made a name for myself, but now I'm going back to the way I was?
For this purpose, Lu Chen even took time out to give Huang Aniu a lesson, consolidate his thinking, and told him that this mission was his only choice. If he did not accept this mission, the Da Qi Dynasty would be in danger and the people of Da Qi would suffer.
As expected, you can talk about anything with whom you chat. Since spending a long time with Lu Chen, Huang Aniu's ideological awareness has also improved.
Now when he heard Lu Chen say this, he felt that he had no choice but to do his duty.
After Huang Aniu left, Mou Ping approached him with some concern: "National Master, Huang Aniu was once a core member of the White Lotus Sect. Aren't you afraid that he will be bewitched by the White Lotus Sect again after he returns?"
"Haha, bewitching? What do you think the White Lotus Sect can do to bewitch Huang Aniu? Providing him with enough food and clothing? Or finding him a wife? I'm so sorry, but I've already helped the Mother of No Birth to achieve all of these. Unless the leader of the White Lotus Sect gives up his position to Huang Aniu, Aniu won't change his mind."
In fact, Lu Chen still didn't say some things clearly. To the White Lotus Sect members who followed him to the capital, he, Lu Chen, was actually equivalent to a god in their eyes.
In their eyes, Lu Chen was almost always responsive to their requests, and he could even fly. He just asked them what else they wanted, a bicycle.
Watching Huang Aniu and several of his men leave, Lu Chen felt a little emotional. He had sent too many of his men away recently. If this continued, he would have no one left to use.
No, we still have to hurry and find Ma Tong, so he turned to Mou Ping and said, "Get ready, let's go to the Jade Buddha Temple."
"Ah? So direct?" Mou Ping hesitated for a moment. He felt that it would be a bit hasty to go to the door directly now.
Lu Chen shrugged and said, "Since we have nothing to do anyway, let's go and cause trouble for the monks at the Jade Buddha Temple."
Mou Ping nodded and immediately began to mobilize manpower. Soon, hundreds of people marched to the Jade Buddha Temple.
The Jade Buddha Temple is still very popular, with countless believers standing at the door waiting to worship Buddha.
As a powerful official in the court, Lu Chen naturally has privileges. The Jinyiwei still behaved like this and started to drive away the crowd as soon as they arrived at the place.
The abbot of the Jade Buddha Temple came out to greet him, clasping his hands together and saying, "Amitabha, I didn't know that the Imperial Master was coming. I am sorry for not coming to greet you. I am sorry."
"Haha, Abbot, you're too polite. It was just a whim, it's nothing serious. May I know your name, Abbot?"
"I am a humble monk, so please give me some guidance, Master."
"I don't deserve your advice. I don't like your name very much. Why don't you change it? Will you call me Fahai from now on?"
Ru Hai: ???
"Why, Master Ru Hai, you don't want to? It will be troublesome if you take it. The reason why I asked you to change your name is because I think you will have a bloody disaster. I hope you can listen to my advice." Lu Chen raised his eyebrows and showed his fangs, as if to say, if you don't agree, I will directly demolish this temple of yours.
Ru Hai was dumbfounded. He had seen people who were arrogant and bullied others by taking advantage of their power, but he had never seen anyone bullying monks like this!
