The new house is very big, but the basic layout is still similar to the previous house. In other words, the internal layout of luxury houses in this world is very similar.
However, Shen Hao had a strange idea. He felt that his previous study was too small, so he opened up all the six rooms adjacent to the study, forming a large room similar to a side hall. In addition to the furnishings that a study should have, There is also an extremely large space available in this new giant study.
The desk and bookshelf are used by Shen Hao for his daily work, and the free space is for him to practice. Although the new house has a large backyard and a specially arranged flat area for activities, Shen Hao has some skills that are not suitable to be shown in front of others, so he is used to practicing in the study room, because he found someone to decorate the study room for five times. A layer of cover and defense.
It can be said that this huge study is used as a place to hide one's hands. Avoid the three guards sent by the commanding officer's office, and also avoid the eyes of everyone in the house.
Now that he has moved to a new home, the increase in the area of the house and the increase in the number of handymen have given Shen Hao the experience of a "big household" for the first time. Moreover, he was accustomed to keeping a straight face in front of others, and the evil spirit he exuded unconsciously made the new people in the house afraid of him. Every time they saw him, they knelt down to say hello, and even raised their heads to look at him. I don't even have the guts.
Only the old men in the house, such as Hu Tian, Xiao Ma, and Li Erfu, seemed to be used to Shen Hao's evil aura, and they were still as lifeless as before.
Only these old men can get close to Shen Hao's study, and the only ones who can really come in are Xia Nu and Hu Tian. Xiao Ma can only wait outside the study door and is not allowed to come in.
Shen Hao is very busy now. After returning from the apartment, he basically spends his time in the study. Either handling official business, or practicing his own hidden moves.
The progress in official affairs is good, and the evil-killing plan has entered a new stage. The ruthless tricks that Tang Qingyuan, an old man, came up with really worked, and the clans that were causing obstruction were eliminated with lightning speed. After the presbytery meeting, the village chiefs were won over, and the missionary work that had previously been difficult to make progress was quickly pushed forward.
Really compared to "giving benefits", the evil monks are far inferior to the power organizations such as Black Flag Camp that appease the old dynasty. After all, even "worshippers" would not dare to reveal their true colors easily. It requires a long period of brainwashing to make sure a person has become a fanatic before luring him or her into his own camp.
But the Black Flag Camp doesn't have to be so troublesome. As long as they listen to the missionaries and don't hate or avoid the missionaries, there will be benefits. Rice, oil, bacon, and good cloth which is rarely seen in mountain villages.
What is benefit? This is called benefits! The more people live their lives, the less likely they are to remember frivolous things, and the more they will be changed by the immediate benefits, the habits they have taken for granted for a long time.
Just like every time the "worship to God" time always overlaps with the time of the missionary team's preaching conference, but there is nothing to gain from "worship to God". Instead, some rice noodles or lamp oil have to be paid to the "god". But going to the missionary meeting of the mission team is the opposite. Just go and you can get rice and noodles. If you hear that the meeting is over, you can get another one. If you answer a few questions correctly at the meeting, you can get another one.
If you are lucky, you can attend a missionary conference and your family will have enough food for half a month.
At the beginning, many people in the village still went to "worship God" instead of listening to preaching. Later, I became jealous, and after thinking about it, the family went to two places separately, so that they could not only "worship God" and comply with the long-standing customs, but also join the missionary team to get some benefits. I think I have the best of both worlds.
The members of the missionary team knew that they were being taken advantage of, but they smiled and said, "It's okay." They didn't mind at all, and they even condoned the villagers' petty thoughts.
It's just a little bit of rice, flour, oil and meat. Would a man as big as Xuan Qingwei care about being taken advantage of? What's more, they saw that this was not taking advantage, but part of the plan.
With the opposition of the clan elders who had lost their support, and the Xuan Qingwei, the leader of the village who controlled the village brave, the wind in the village naturally changed very quickly, and the missionary team had always been gentle and restrained towards the villagers. Excessive behavior occurred, so the missionary team was naturally brought into the boring daily life of the mountain village in the area.
In the past, they only "worshiped God" regularly, but now there is a regular missionary meeting, which also instills some information, but one collects "offerings" and the other distributes "souvenirs". This contrast has emerged.
"I have been worshiping God for more than ten years. The amount of lamp oil I offered as tribute was only eight kilograms instead of ten kilograms. I almost died last year when I fell ill, but I didn't see God bless me. How many times did I go to missionary meetings? My rice bowl has already grown a lot. Cut off the rice, and the mistress ate two more bites of meat."
With comparison, everyone has their own preferences. Some continue to "worship God" devoutly, while others gradually lean towards the missionary team. And the number of villagers who prefer the latter is rapidly increasing.
Shen Hao's idea was to wait until the missionary team had established a firm foothold and then start explaining to the villagers what a monk was and what the power of a monk's methods was. In this way, some of the so-called "miracles" of "worshiping gods" can be directly exposed and exposed for their true nature.
As long as half of the people in a village no longer believe in or participate in "worshiping gods", the evil-killing plan will be considered to have made a good start. Later, we must guard against the missionary teams in each village being jumped over the wall by evil monks secretly. Properly strengthening the combat effectiveness of the missionary team was also something Shen Hao focused on.
"As long as this continues for three to five months, the evil monks here in Jingxi will have to jump into the river or go to other places to cause trouble. At that time, as long as we pay attention and keep it up, as long as nothing happens, the evil monks will no longer be able to The place to stand!"
Closing the document report in front of him, there were not only detailed progress reports from Tang Qingyuan, Chen Sheng, and Wang Yiming, but also various trends that Wang Jian had observed in the dark. At least for now, it seems that those so-called "worshippers" have not taken any direct action. They tried to use the death of the die-hards in the clan elders to drag the Black Flag Camp missionary team into opposition to the villagers, but they failed. After that, it was like It seems to have died down, not even a dying struggle.
"Are you so honest? Haha, let's see what other tricks you have."
Shen Hao was sure that the opponent still had a follow-up move, so he was not in a hurry. He had the initiative in his hand and waited for the opponent to counterattack before he responded.
Standing up and taking out the long sword from the Sword Emperor Tomb from his storage bag, Shen Hao started today's homework. Practice swordsmanship, sword practice, and meditate.
Since coming back from the Sword Emperor's Tomb last time, Shen Hao's practice has been much more fulfilling than before. Several new spells have finally given him room to display his Yuan Dan realm's true energy. He has already achieved some success by practicing hard. .
