Chapter 79: Sir Chen, this is really not possible!
In this world, especially in the southern barbarian region, life is hard, people don’t have enough to eat or wear warm clothes, and their lives are in danger at any time.
As long as they can keep people fed and warm, people will follow them.
Furthermore, even if the imperial court would not sit idly by and watch the power she and her friends had established grow and become a dominant force, and would send troops to suppress them, Chen Xue would have a backup option.
That is to establish a sect.
This method is very effective for people in the feudal world. Many people here cannot eat enough or wear warm clothes, so they all hope to have a spiritual sustenance.
Even wealthy businessmen who have enough to eat will seek spiritual sustenance.
If she really founded a sect, she would definitely be able to win over a lot of people.
Moreover, this method of forming a force is safer and more reliable than the previous one.
As long as the doctrine is established and loyal believers are recruited, these believers will automatically spread the doctrine through each level, so that they can hide in the dark.
Moreover, unless the imperial court exterminates all the people in the world, it will be impossible to exterminate the sect she founded, unless even the doctrine is exterminated.
But for things like doctrine, even if the text is burned, people can still pass it on orally, so it is difficult to stop it.
However, although forming a sect is a good idea, it is a double-edged sword. If done well, it can protect oneself, but if done poorly, it may backfire.
After all, some believers go crazy and don't care about anything.
Cough cough cough!
In short.
Chen Xue has already come up with several plans to form a force to protect herself. What she needs to do now is to stockpile supplies and earn more contribution points.
But now they want to collect more resources, which is very difficult on their own.
“In fact, the fastest way is to form a chamber of commerce.”
Lord Chen said that if the chamber of commerce is established and becomes stronger, they will have enough influence.
This coincides with Chen Xue's previous thoughts.
Similarly, forming a chamber of commerce is also the fastest way to collect resources.
It can be said that this kills two birds with one stone.
"only……"
Chen Xue sighed and looked around. "We are all in exile. If we want to form a chamber of commerce, I'm afraid..."
If Lord Chen was still the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, then if she wanted to set up a chamber of commerce, she would definitely have power, connections, and money.
But now, they can't even protect themselves, and they are still forming a chamber of commerce. Isn't this a joke?
"That's right." Mother Chen nodded. "Even if we want to do some small reselling business, Captain Sun won't sit idly by."
Several people were silent. Captain Sun was definitely their biggest stumbling block at the moment.
This time he almost caused the Chen family to be killed by the general. Lord Chen was terrified and hated Captain Sun very much. He wanted to kill him.
"Captain Sun and his men are an obstacle after all!"
Lord Chen sighed. He would not have had such an idea before, but several times, these yamen runners wanted to deal with them.
You can deal with him, but you can't bully his wife and daughter. Even an honest man is afraid of himself when he gets angry.
Of course, he was just thinking about it. It was impossible for him to really kill Captain Sun. First of all, he really couldn't do it.
Secondly, killing Captain Sun would not necessarily change the current situation. What if the court sent another captain, and that person was even more cruel than Captain Sun?
He can't just kill everyone who comes!
"That's troublesome!"
Chen Xue also frowned, "Unless someone can be found to replace him, or Captain Sun loses power."
If they could have one of their own become the captain, then they wouldn't have to worry about anything.
But this is simply impossible. After all, the captain of the exiled yamen runners was appointed by the imperial court. Even if Lord Chen had not been exiled, he would not have had the right to appoint him, let alone now.
As for making Captain Sun lose power, that can be planned.
"Perhaps, we can support Xu Tian. Once his power grows, we will be able to resist Captain Sun..." Chen's mother suggested.
"Right!" Chen Xue clapped her hands, "That's a good idea..."
"etc"
"Where's Xu Tian?"
Chen Xue suddenly thought of something and her face changed. "Could something have happened to him?"
No matter what happened in the past, Xu Tian would run over first to check on her father's condition.
Now that such a big thing as a riot has happened, Xu Tian should have come over. Even if he didn't have time at that time because he had to suppress the prisoners, the riot has subsided now, so he should have time!
Therefore, all Chen Xue and others could think of was that something had happened to Xu Tian.
After all, the other prisoners hated the yamen runners very much and even killed several of them during the riot.
"Go and find out if Xu Tian is in trouble!" Lord Chen immediately lifted the curtain and gave instructions to Chen Yi.
"Master Chen..."
As soon as he finished speaking, several people heard a familiar voice. They looked up and saw that Xu Tian had a gauze on his head, and they could see blood seeping out of it.
"Master Chen, are you all right?"
Xu Tian limped over and asked with some concern. He even ignored everything else and grabbed Lord Chen's hand to look him over.
Master Chen quickly pulled his hand back and said, "I'm fine, but you seem to be injured. Is it serious?"
Hearing the concern from Master Chen, Xu Tian was deeply moved. "It's okay, it's just a minor injury. If I hadn't been unconscious at the time, I would have come to find Master Chen a long time ago."
Says he has bad luck.
When the riot just started, he knocked the prisoner unconscious.
They say he is lucky.
Because he fell in a remote place and was not stepped on by the prisoners, and he was only knocked unconscious at the time, he did not suffer any other injuries.
Lord Chen glanced around, and Chen Yi and the others immediately understood what he meant and dispersed to make sure that no one was eavesdropping.
Then, he stood on the carriage and looked at Xu Tian, "Xu Tian, do you want to be the captain?"
Xu Tian: “…………”
"team leader"
"Master Chen, what are you talking about? Captain? I don't think I'm cut out to be a captain!"
Lord Chen also understood that Xu Tian was too straightforward, and he didn't have many cunning thoughts. He also didn't manage his facial expressions well, and most of the time one could tell what he was thinking through his expression.
This is also the reason why he was not able to enter the court even though he had Lord Yang and others behind him.
In the court, even the censors who dared to speak out were not stubborn. They knew how to adapt and would read the emperor's instructions.
Of course, there are exceptions for some truly upright censors, but they are rare, and only when one meets an extremely wise emperor can they stay in the court and serve as censors.
"Nothing!" Just a test, Master Chen didn't say much, but changed the subject, "Tell me, if we want to do business, do you think it's possible?"
"Doing business"
Xu Tian was even more confused. Shouldn’t Lord Chen be determined to return to the court?
Why do you plan to change your career?
Mr. Chen was the top scholar a few decades ago. For such a talented person, being exiled is already a loss to the court. Now he has to change his career.
No, how could Lord Chen change his career? How could the court lose Lord Chen? Xu Tian suddenly became anxious.
"No, Master Chen, this is really not possible!"
Lord Chen: “…………”
If it's not possible, then it's not possible. Why are you so excited? It seems like I've done something wrong to you.
