Looking at the excited expressions of the people in the courtyard, Zhu Wu felt a little strange.
The Great Yuan Dynasty was probably the dynasty where the Han people did not take rebellions seriously.
It was no wonder that the Great Yuan Dynasty did not treat the Han people as humans!
However, the current Zhu Wu had yet to have the thought of rebelling. It was not the time yet. Guo Zixing had yet to take down Haozhou City, and his third brother had yet to make a name for himself!
Hence, he said,"Brother Xu Da, rebelling is such a great cause. I, Little Jiu, don't dare to think about it for the time being."”
Great? Temporarily?
A burst of laughter immediately sounded in the courtyard. Everyone looked at Xiao Jiu differently. They did not expect that this youngest fellow was the bravest.
After a pause, Zhu Wu continued,"I want to protect myself. If the world is in chaos, bandits will definitely run amok. We have to have the strength to protect ourselves. What I mean is, can we set up a village guard army?”
"It doesn't matter if it's our village, we can gather all the brave young people from the surrounding villages and train them during the slack time as our strength to protect the villagers.”
"There is also Zhu Yi and the others who are the backup plan and are kept secret.”
Xu Da's eyes lit up as he listened. He suddenly said,"Xiao Jiu, your suggestion is really good, but there are two problems that need to be solved. One is money, and the other is food.”
"Also, this matter requires the eighth brother to descend the mountain. With his prestige, he can suppress everyone in this area.”Zhou Dexing interjected.
"Mm, not bad. I have to talk to the Heavy Myna about this first and hear his opinion.”Xu Da nodded in agreement.
Zhu Wu nodded his head without any expression of surprise. Although this matter was brought up by him, he also knew that with his current prestige, he would definitely not be able to take charge.
"I have some preliminary ideas about money and grain, but I'll go see my brother first and hear his thoughts."”
…………
In Huangjue Monastery, the great monk Buddha Xing was giving a lecture. There were more than ten monks sitting on the futons below. Zhu Zhongba was among them, sitting in the last row.
"…Buddha told Ananda. You have often heard of my name, Vina. Explain the definition of the three cultivation methods. The so-called control of the heart as a warning. So he warned him to give birth to stability. So he decided to send Cui Hui. This is called the Three Nothingness Leaking Learning…According to the laws of the Three Tripitaka, practicing the three schools of precepts, concentration and wisdom can get rid of all kinds of troubles in the world and achieve positive results. What was Buddha? Anyone who can realize self-awareness, self-awareness, and self-awareness is a Buddha…"
Zhu Zhongba felt as if he had fallen into the clouds and was really confused. Suddenly, he heard a click from the window behind him, followed by a few night owls.
Zhu Zhongba's heart skipped a beat. He secretly looked up and saw that the big monk had his eyes closed as he lectured. The surrounding disciples were all listening attentively with their heads lowered. No one noticed him.
So he quietly got up, moved his body backward, and soon came to the open door of the lecture hall and slipped out.
"Brother, here."
Zhu Zhongba looked in the direction of the voice and saw three heads peeking out from behind the temple's water tank, looking in his direction.
It was his own little brother, Xu Da, and Zhou Dexing. His underling, Chong Jiu, was still waving at them.
"What are you guys doing here at this time? Is there no food?" Zhu Zhongba walked over quickly and asked quietly.
"There's something important to discuss. Let's go out and talk.”Xu Da said.
"Let's go to the small forest outside the temple." Zhu Zhongba didn't ask further and strode out.
…………
"Did Xiao Jiu come up with all this?"
Outside Huangjue Temple, beside a small forest.
After listening to Xu Da and Zhou Dexing's narration, Zhu Zhongba looked at Xiao Jiu, who was smiling silently, in surprise.
This little brother of his was getting more and more incomprehensible to him. When did he know all this?
"Brother, what kind of look is that? Can't your brother be smart for once?”Zhu Wu pretended to be dissatisfied.
Zhu Zhongba laughed and patted Zhu Wu's shoulder.""Yes, of course. Xiao Jiu has really grown up!”
" Chongba, look at this…" Xu Da looked at him with bright eyes.
"I think it can be done, but where will the money and food come from?”Zhu Zhongba asked after thinking for a while.
"Xiao Jiu said he has an idea." Xu Da pointed at Zhu Wu.
"Oh?" Zhu Zhongba looked at Zhu Zhongjiu." Little Jiu, do you have a solution? Tell me."
Zhu Wu chuckled and said,"My method is very simple. It's just one word-snatch!"”
"Snatch, snatch who? How?"
"Brother, I have two goals." Zhu Wu mysteriously raised two fingers.
"Tell me."
"One is the Huangjue Temple that brother is currently staying in.”
"Hiss!"
Zhu Zhongba sucked in a breath of cold air. Xiao Jiu was really ruthless. He didn't even let go of his brother's place!
"Brother, these years, there have been many disasters in the world, but the monks in this temple are all fat and oily. They definitely don't lack food, right?”
"Yes, there's no shortage. Not only is there no shortage, but there's also a lot of food. There were thousands of fertile fields on this mountain. Because of the high terrain, it could not be flooded during floods. There were also several mountain springs to irrigate the mountain, so it would not get dry during droughts. The disasters over the years did not have much of an impact on the temple, and they had saved up a lot of food.”Zhu Zhongba nodded.
"These damn bald donkeys, so many people starved to death two years ago, but I didn't see them distribute food.”Zhou Dexing slapped his thigh fiercely.
Zhu Zhongba glared at him. Who was the damned bald donkey scolding? He was also bald now.
Seeing Xiao Jiu snickering, he said unhappily,"Alright, if we can snatch this Huangjue Temple, we can indeed get food.”
"Moreover, the money in the temple is not small.”Zhu Wu said.
"Last year, he even forged a thousand jin copper bell. I saw it with my own eyes.”
Last year, Zhu Zhongba had become a monk in the temple, and Zhu Wu had visited many times. He had already secretly inquired about the situation.
"Have you been eyeing my monastery since a long time ago?”Zhu Zhongba glanced at him.
"Hehe!" Zhu Wu rubbed his head and smiled." I can't stand it. These monks don't work hard, but they can eat until their heads are full of fat. Farmers like my father, mother, and brother have to starve to death after working hard all year round. It's too unfair!”
"Father and Mother died of illness." Zhu Zhongba's expression turned serious.
"Brother, I was just making an analogy."
