Chapter 267 The future is promising(1/2)
May 13th, Jiangnan County, Dongzhou Lunwu Tower.
Although there is a word "lou" here, it is actually a building complex consisting of a main building about six stories high and two three-story pavilions on the east and west.
In the past, the central main building was the busiest place, with a huge flow of people at the gate.
The atmosphere here today is extremely depressing, and there is a dead silence.
Most of the houses in the building were empty and looked extremely deserted.
Even if there are people working in the building, their expressions are silent, their movements are gentle, and they try not to speak or make any noise.
On the fifth and sixth floors, the doors and windows of the courtroom and residence of Wang Chaoyang, the owner of the Dongzhou Lunwu Building and a fourth-grade scholar of divine mechanics, were closed.
The editors and clerks in Lunwu Building try to work elsewhere.
They walked carefully and quietly, intentionally or unintentionally avoiding the main building in the center.
In the entire Lunwu Building, only Xie Zhenqing remained calm.
She was standing on the third floor of the East Building, looking at the six-story main building with a bit of pride and sarcasm.
"Tell the people below that there is no need to do this, just let them work normally. They are all crowded in the East and West Buildings, or bringing their official work home. What do you mean? Who are they doing this for?"
Xie Zhenqing was actually very happy about the scene before her.
She knew that these lower-level compilations and documents were pretentious and were specially made for her to show that they were incompatible with the dynasty's positive power.
However, if this situation continues for a long time, the efficiency of Dongzhou Nonwu Building will be greatly reduced.
The problem is that Xie Zhenqing has been ordered by the Minister of Rites to take full control of the daily affairs of Dongzhou Lunwu Building.
So she couldn't let it go.
If something happens again in Dongzhou Nonwu Building in the future, this will only hit her.
"I obey my orders."
Behind Xie Zhenqing, Dong Linshan laughed dumbly: "But Master, if you want to say that everyone is just pretending, it's not necessarily true. This time, something big happened to our Dongzhou Lunwu Building. Not only did we make a fool of ourselves in the world, but we were also raped by the Ministry of Rites.
The minister reprimanded him verbally, and everyone was really fed up with the new Lunwu Building Master and did not want to work with him, let alone get close to him."
Dong Linshan was transferred to Dongzhou Lunwu Building by Xie Zhenqing nine days ago.
Dong Linshan was originally very hesitant.
As the saying goes, it is better to be a chicken head than an ox queen.
It has been less than half a year since he became the master of Lunwu Building in Xiushui County, and he has not enjoyed enough of being the master of this building.
Moreover, the internal fighting in Dongzhou Lunwu Building is fierce, and it is obviously a big pit.
However, a few days ago, the situation in Dongzhou changed drastically. Xie Zhenqing was quite sincere and valued his old subordinate, and was ready to entrust him with important tasks as his deputy.
After Dong Linshan thought for a moment, he followed the current and ran over.
Xie Zhenqing laughed coldly when he heard this: "What's the use of being bored at this time? I said at that time, it might as well wait a little longer to see how things change. In the end, there were several people standing in front of me all over the building.
side?
Wang Chaoyang couldn't wait to release the supplement, what's the result now? Less than ten days after the supplement was released, the Dongzhou Prosecutor's Office canceled the wanted order against Chu Xisheng."
Dong Linshan thought that this matter was really screwed up. Who would have thought that just ten days later, the Iron Banner Gang would transform into volunteers who helped the imperial court put down the rebellion?
So Sikong Chan, the prefect of Xiushui County, and numerous Xiushui gentry were all treated as traitors and executed by the court?
This makes Dongzhou Lunwu Building a joke in the entire Dongzhou Wulin.
Not only did all the teahouses and taverns in the eight prefectures of Dongzhou discuss this matter with supplements published by Ronwulou, the joke also spread outside the prefecture.
The Ministry of Rites and the Lunwu General Building were even more furious.
It was not enough to be humiliated once because of Chu Xisheng, but he had to be humiliated a second time, which greatly damaged the credibility and prestige of Lunwu Tower.
And Xie Zhenqing, this time it was also because he was heartbroken that he was transferred from Xiushui.
At that time, most people in the building turned against Xie Zhenqing.
Dong Linshan sighed secretly: "Master, we have prepared the new supplement and it will be printed later. Master, would you like to take a look at it again?"
"No need, let them print and publish it as soon as possible,"
Xie Zhenqing waved her hand and thought that this supplement was presided over by her, and all the articles were finalized by her herself. What else is good to read now?
"This is my attempt to bring order to the Lunwu Tower. The sooner it is released, the better. Otherwise, it will only make people outside laugh."
The key is that it is only May 13th, and there is still one month before the next issue of "On the Martial God Machine" is released.
They had to issue another supplement to eliminate the impact.
This is all Wang Chaoyang's fault.
At this time, her expression became condensed again: "Have there been any changes between the Iron Banner Gang and Chu Xisheng recently? How is the situation in Xiushui and Xunyang counties?"
"The Iron Flag Gang is constantly changing."
Dong Linshan looked indifferent: "Chu Xisheng is taking drastic measures to rectify the Iron Banner Gang. He merged the 'Xishan Hall' into the main helm, and also expanded the scale of the 'Iron Flag' and 'Xuanfeng' second halls, and added the 'Shen'
Shetang' and 'Chongzhoutang'.
Each hall has been expanded to 2,000 people, a total of 10,000. The members are all elites with high-level cultivation. It is said that there are more than 4,000 people with eighth-level cultivation. The Iron Flag Gang is still spending money wantonly to collect medicines for supply.
They practice the royal secret method.
It is expected that in the near future, the leader of the Iron Flag Gang will have a direct force of more than 10,000 people, with combat power that can directly catch up with the border troops. Together with the members of the outer hall gang, the number will be close to 17,000, which is enough to overwhelm Dongzhou.
Water and land, become the first-class gang in Dongzhou!"
Xie Zhenqing's eyebrows frowned slightly,
The size of the Iron Flag Gang is actually nothing. There are many forces in the world whose strength far exceeds that of the Iron Flag Gang.
Especially in the northern and Heluo prefectures, there are often tens of thousands of people.
The problem is that the Iron Banner Gang not only has a record of repeated defeats by the army, but also has extremely powerful mobilization capabilities in Xiushui County, which makes her a little sensitive.
If something happens to Xiushui in the future, the Iron Banner Gang will have no problem mobilizing 200,000 people, but it is likely to become a serious local problem.
Although Xie Zhenqing had a great affection for Chu Xisheng, he would not forget his duties because of this.
Lunwulou is one of the eyes and ears of the imperial court and has the responsibility of monitoring the world.
Just in case, we still have to remind the court.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Chu Xisheng also made adjustments to the structure of the Iron Banner Gang. He made slight adjustments to the internal affairs hall, patrol hall, execution hall, and auditorium.
In addition, 'Duzhitang' was added to manage property, and 'Shuitang' was added, which means taking money like running water, and is used to manage many of its industries and ship owners and merchants.
This is to divide the power of the "Internal Affairs Hall" and organize the various rights and responsibilities within the gang, so as to make the internal operation of the Iron Flag Gang more reasonable. It is said that many ship owners of the Iron Flag Gang are very happy. This "Shui Tang" branch is spread all over Xunyang and
The second county can help them collect information, exchange information, and strive for more business."
Dong Linshan's voice condensed again at this time: "In addition, Chu Xisheng changed all the outer halls except Xiushui, Xunyang, and Gushi into 'fenduo', with the seats under the entrance of the hall, and the altar
From the above, it can be seen that the Chu banner leader has great ambitions."
When Xie Zhenqing heard this, he also nodded slightly with a solemn expression: "He is less than sixteen years old and is already the leader of a banner. It is strange that he has no ambition."
Chu Xisheng changed many outer halls to "separate rudders", obviously to facilitate the merging of halls in the future.
This indeed exposed Chu Xisheng’s ambition.
Only when the Iron Banner Gang's power extends to several counties, will it be necessary to merge the halls so that they can be governed more easily.
However, these things will have no impact on the supplement they will release next.
"Then there is the Seventeenth Chain Dock. The Iron Flag Gang is chasing them hard. As of today, the Iron Flag Gang has cleared all the sub-rudders of the Seventeenth Chain Dock and is already clearing out the remnants."
When Dong Linshan said this, he frowned slightly: "The strange thing is that the combat power displayed by Tie Xiaosheng and the Eight-Armed Vajra Sword Bu Yancheng was a bit beyond expectations."
"beyond expectation?"
Xie Zhenqing was slightly surprised: "How far is it? Are there any specific examples?"
"That's not true. Neither of them have met a decent opponent."
Dong Linshan smiled bitterly: "However, they were invincible when they attacked the Seventeenth Link Wound. I think these two people still need to focus on it. Also, this time the Iron Banner Gang fought in Xunyang, their grassroots combat power was also very strong.
It’s very eye-catching, their Xishan Hall, Iron Flag Hall and Xuanfeng Hall seem to have a lot of masters emerging. They are strong in battle and need to be paid attention to.”
Xie Zhenqing raised his eyebrows slightly: "Did you join the Iron Flag Gang recently?"
According to where she was, although Ren Daoxing had escaped far away at this time, the Seventeenth Link Station was not a soft persimmon.
Many forces in Dongzhou have secretly supported some people and want to try out the Iron Banner Gang through the Seventeenth Chain Dock.
Dong Linshan shook his head slightly: "No, they are all old people from the Iron Banner Gang and Xishan Hall."
This made him very strange. These people were ordinary people before, but now they suddenly appeared. They had repeatedly made meritorious deeds in the battle with the Seventeenth Link Wound.
Xie Zhenqing thought for a while, then burst into laughter.
"It's not surprising. This should be because the Iron Flag Gang provides secret medicine to its members on a large scale. Isn't there a rumor in the world recently? The Iron Flag Gang is now known as the 'Debt Gang'. Now anyone in the Iron Flag Gang who has some cultivation level,
They all owed money to the gang because they bought the secret medicine on credit from the gang.
