Zhang Jiao was a native of the Eastern Han Dynasty (about the 2nd century AD) and the founder of the early Taoist sect, Taiping Taoism. He and his two brothers Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang all believed in Taoism.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the three brothers promoted Taiping Dao, and combined with the popular "Huang and Lao" idea in the early days, they turned this idea into their own doctrines and widely promoted it to believers. The doctrine of Taiping Dao claimed that ghosts and gods in heaven monitored people's behavior, and increased or decreased their lifespan based on the good and evil of people's behavior, requiring people to do more good deeds and less bad things.

After more than ten years of hard work, Zhang Jiao's Taiping Road has developed to many places in China, with the number of believers reaching hundreds of thousands. Zhang Jiao preached as the leader of the church. According to historical records, his preaching method was mainly to expand his influence by treating people's illnesses. Zhang Jiao also called himself a "sage of great wise men" and regarded himself as the forefather of the masses. He regarded believers across the country as the region, established an organization of military and political integration "State" with a total of 36 parties, and the leaders of all parties called "Qu Zheng", which had a great influence among the people.

Due to the corruption of society, the political darkness, and the people were living in poverty at that time, Zhang Jiao took the opportunity and put forward the slogan "The sky is dead, the yellow sky should be established, the year is in Jiazi, and the world is lucky", and launched the Yellow Turban Uprising. After the failure of the uprising, Taipingdao basically disappeared.

Yongzheng established Huo Chong's personality, and Lao Shisan and his brother had the same idea. In this comparison, the two brothers understood that this was correct.

Huo Chong can provide relief, and it is real relief, not simply life-saving in this era. This is enough to prove that Huo Chong not only has financial resources, but also has sufficient operating capabilities.

The ability to operate is not just one person, but a large number of people who can execute Huo Chong's ideas. This proves that Huo Chong can gather people.

Huo Chong was able to use people and established a system of "sowing blessings". This cannot be described as "gathering crowds".

According to the writing of County Magistrate Dong, Huo Chong is not the kind of person who is surrounded by people and brings hundreds of disciples to the market. If Huo Chong really did this, those who attacked Huo Chong would have taken this out as Huo Chong's crime long ago.

Yongzheng even sighed a little, "It's really damn that such a thief can escape the secret song! It can be seen that the secret song should be more attentive!"

Lao Shisan nodded and said, "The emperor is wise, these people are really ulterior motives!"

A person can mobilize money and manpower to organize disaster relief without gathering crowds and posing. This is how to use people.

Just like the Qing court, if everything was assigned by the emperor himself, the emperor would be too busy to be exhausted. And he would have to make various arrangements every time, so the country would not have so much manpower and material resources.

Being able to employ people is like the emperor's order, and officials operate under the system to solve problems. All the emperor has to do is ask the people who are doing things, what they have encountered.

Huo Chong is a person who can employ people. This guy not only can employ people, but also has formed a "fortune platform", which is a little higher than hiring people. He has a system, and he relies on this system to organize the people.

Planting blessings refers to the blessings planted by Huo Chong. Since it is the blessings planted by Huo Chong, the people who receive the blessings planted by Huo Chong will naturally have to give back to Huo Chong.

If such a system is expanded, where should the court be placed?

Prince Shisanyi was usually considered to be a tolerant person and a prince who could forgive others. At this time, he did not mention that Huo Chong had never harmed anyone until now, so whether he could forgive him. Instead, he directly asked Yongzheng which team to send to arrest Huo Chong, the contemporary Zhang Jiao.

Yongzheng thought for a while, "Let the Shandong Governor handle this matter."

After saying that, looking at Prince Yi's expression that did not agree with, Yongzheng asked, "Thirteenth brother, what's wrong with it?"

"Your Majesty, I supervise the cleaning up the owed money. Officials from all over the country are like ants in hot pans. Huo Chong has been in business for several years and has already had a lot of property. If the Shandong Governor was asked to supervise this matter, all Shandong officials want is Huo Chong's property."

When Yongzheng heard this, his brows were already frowning and said hatefully: "These officials are thinking about these small things. They don't take national affairs into their hearts at all. Seeing that Huo Chong can pay taxes, they indulged Huo Chong. Humph! Even those who sued Huo Chong were full of money. This made Huo Chong bigger! It was just that the imperial court sent an imperial envoy, and he looked down on Huo Chong's thief too much!"

Speaking of this, Yongzheng couldn't continue to say it for a moment and became furious.

The Thirteenth Old said quickly: "Your Majesty, this matter is not a trivial matter. Huo Chong has a little reputation in Shandong. If the Shandong Governor was asked to supervise this matter, Huo Chong would have no evidence of rebellion. If he arrested him, it would make the officialdom unclear. That is, he would give Huo Chong a face, send the imperial guards to Shandong, and arrest Huo Chong with the Shandong government, and send him back to the capital. Otherwise, if Shandong officials did it themselves, they would be afraid of shocking the enemy."

Yongzheng thought about it and felt that his thirteenth brother was right. The urinary nature of Shandong officials must be Huo Chong's property. Some of them were even incompetent, but they were afraid that they would have to extort money from Huo Chong through information.

Huo Chong's behavior as a thief in the wild must have escaped after learning the news. Although Yongzheng knew that he was not groundless and killed people randomly, the people below did not know that Huo Chong would have various unfavorable statements to Yongzheng when he ran away.

Now Yongzheng relies on real evidence to collect owed silver, and there are various confusing statements in the court that have even said that Yongzheng was a tyrant and a scammer of the house.

Thinking of this, Yongzheng sighed, "I followed my thirteenth brother!"

After saying that, Yongzheng became angry again, "After the case is handled, we will ask those secret reports to investigate such people strictly! If I had known that Huo Chong was like this, I would have been able to deal with him in just one decree two years ago!"

After hearing this, the Thirteenth San nodded repeatedly and discussed with Yongzheng how to improve the secret memorial system. As for Huo Chong himself, the two brothers were not actually concerned.

I think both of them think that Huo Chong was just a big local household at this time, at most a big household in official skins. It was really like taking things out of his pocket.

But is this really the case?

Probably yes.

The next day, Yongzheng personally issued an order, ordering the personal bodyguard Zhang Wei to lead several guards and receive the imperial edict and go straight to Shandong.

This action was fast and had a very fast attitude. Although there were only a few of them, when they arrived in Shandong, the Shandong Governor immediately sent fifty people to follow the imperial envoy to handle the case.
