Datang Nongwang

Chapter 821 Add another person

Li Chongyuan wanted to break his head, but he never thought that the potatoes he planted in Lizhuang would be coveted by monks.

Whether it's a noble family, or those court officials who oppose him, Li Chongyuan can still understand even if it's nobles who covet him.

But this monk, Li Chongyuan had nothing to do with them, and it can be said that he had never even met him face to face.

Of course, apart from the meeting in the temple on Niu Shou Mountain, there is nothing else.

Moreover.

The Li family and the monks have a certain relationship.

Why did this monk extend his hand to his own territory? This made Li Chongyuan unable to figure out why.

In terms of relationship, Li Chongyuan's aunt had a brother who became a monk in a certain temple in Chang'an.

In theory, Li Chongyuan's Auntie's brother, Li Chongyuan should be called uncle.

With this level of relationship, shouldn't this monk befriend Li Chongyuan?

but.

Li Chongyuan understood after thinking about it.

'Uncle himself is noble, but because he didn't want to go into war again, he chose to become a monk.And my uncle never left the temple, and he never had any contact with other people. Even if the people in the temple had contact with other temples, it only represented a temple. '

'There are many temples in the city of Chang'an, although they appear to be one, but internal battles are frequent, and no one will obey the other, always wanting to be the leader.Some people want to take this opportunity to curry favor with a certain minister or court official. This may be one of the reasons why those monks reached out to me, Li Zhuang. '

'Well, it doesn't rule out that these monks themselves want to get potatoes, so that they can cultivate their land and then make a profit from it. '

'Monk, hum!After the matter on my side is settled, go back to Chang'an to see how I deal with you. '

Li Chongyuan already had a calculation in his mind.

Although it's just a guess, Li Chongyuan also understands that these so-called monks will definitely discard the name of the monks because it is a matter of profit.

Who are these monks?
Either they are monks from the old school, or they are people who escaped the war and entered the temple.

Similarly, there are also some law-breaking and discipline-breaking officials who hid in temples in order to avoid being traced.

Of course, there are some bandits or thieves, they will also choose this way, hiding in temples to become monks and nuns.

As for the poor people, it is not to say that there is no such thing, they will only choose this way when they have no way to survive.

Saying that Xingba said that he would go back to Li Zhuang and guard Li Zhuang for Li Chongyuan.

However, Li Chongyuan thought that with Li Yuan around, everything would be safe.

After all, Li Chongyuan still trusts Li Yuan very much. Even if his son is the current emperor, Li Chongyuan also believes that Li Yuan will not, let alone hand over all the high-yield crops he planted in Lizhuang to his son Li Shimin. .

Moreover.

Li Chongyuan believed even more that Li Yuan was in Li Zhuang, and any Xiaoxiao would not be able to step into Li Zhuang.

more.

Li Chongyuan was even more sure that once someone entered Li Zhuang with a certain intention or banner, Li Shimin, the son, would definitely send extra manpower for the safety of his father or for those high-yield crops to prevent anyone from snooping.

Therefore, when Li Chongyuan saw that Xing Ba said that he would go back to Li Zhuang to help him guard Li Zhuang, he shook his head directly.

But even so, Xingba still said with a bit of righteous indignation: "Little Lang, this monk and nun is not easy to deal with. If you keep his hands and feet off, you will definitely be in trouble in the future."

"Trouble is never absent. I, Li Chongyuan, have been in various troubles one after another until today, and I am still not doing well. Since we were born, we have been growing up in trouble. As for you What about these monks and nuns, although I, Li Chongyuan, have not yet competed with them, but as long as they really dare to stretch out their hands, they will know that if they stretch out their hands, they will be in big trouble." Li Chongyuan is really not at the moment. Worried about Li Zhuang.

Although there are some special crops planted in Lizhuang, they are not many, only a few acres each.

Even if it is all lost, Li Chongyuan will only feel distressed at most, and will never be heartbroken.

At this time, the most important thing is that the planting base in Zhenzhou is the key.

As long as this place is built and managed well, then the people of the world will benefit.

After listening to Xingba, he stopped talking.

He knew that Li Chongyuan would basically not change what Li Chongyuan decided.

However, although he didn't say anything, he winked at Tang Li who was at the side, hoping that Tang Li would persuade Li Chongyuan.

Tang Li smiled indifferently, returned a reassuring look, and then said: "Young Lord, Xing Ba is also for the sake of the little man, and he is so indignant because of Li Zhuang, please don't worry about it."

"There's nothing to worry about. Xingba, you have been with me for so many years, you should know me as a person. I don't let you go back to Chang'an now, because I am afraid that you will be trapped in this whirlpool and you will not be able to escape. In this matter, there are aristocratic families , There are officials, there are monks, even I have to be careful." Li Chongyuan looked at the gossip.

Only now did Xingba understand Li Chongyuan's intentions, and he bowed gratefully in his heart.

And Tang Li seemed to know Li Chongyuan's intentions, but he said something that Li Chongyuan was not very familiar with, "Young Lord has a good intention, and we are really lucky to be his servants. Mr. Xiaolang said that with the presence of the Supreme Emperor in Li Zhuang, everything is safe. Now, there are monks reaching out to Li Zhuang, so you don’t have to worry about this. I think back then, in the ninth year of Wude, **** under "" Sha Tai Buddha Dao Edict ", intends to send more than 20 monks and Taoists from all over the world to return to their hometowns to make a living. However, the Supreme Emperor was too radical, and it coincided with the Xuanwu Gate Change. In the end, after the Holy Lord ascended the Great Treasure, this edict was withdrawn. The Supreme Emperor The fact that there are so many monks and Taoists in the world has long been dissatisfied. Now, this monk stretched out his hand to Li Zhuang, if the Supreme Emperor knew that a monk had stretched his hand, he would definitely point his fingers angrily and kill him."

"Huh?" After hearing what Tang Li said, Li Chongyuan immediately became confused.

"Tang Li, you said that the Emperor Taishang issued an edict "The Edict of Sha Tai Buddha and Taoism". Is this edict true?" exist.

Tang Li nodded, "This edict is true, but it has been nearly 20 years, and it is normal for Mr. Xiao Lang not to know about it."

"Tang Li, please tell me about this matter." Li Chongyuan thought that nearly 20 years had passed, and his heart was full of curiosity.

Nine years of Wude, how old is he?

six years old?

Li Chongyuan, who is six years old, probably would be making trouble everywhere, causing trouble everywhere, how would he know about it.

Tang Liwei closed his eyes and recalled for a moment, and then said: "At that time, the Supreme Emperor planned to send monks and Taoists all over the world, and spread the word in the court. He got the support of the Taishi Ling Fu Yi at that time, and launched an offensive and defensive battle with the then Prime Minister Xiao Yu. In the battle, Xiao Yu finally satirized himself that "Yu can't be against" and was defeated. Afterwards, the Supreme Emperor promulgated the "Sha Tai Buddha Taoist Edict", urging all monks and Taoists in the world to return to their hometowns to make a living. And in it, all things happened"

With Tang Li's elaboration, Li Chongyuan finally knew the method used by Li Yuan to restrain Buddha back then.

But although this method is good and the idea is okay, it is too radical.

After the Xuanwumen Incident, Li Shimin became a great treasure, and Li Yuan's edict was also withdrawn to prevent chaos in the country.

As for promoting Taoism and suppressing Buddhism, although Li Shimin also made some moves, they were all just restrictions, but he did not come out like Li Yuan, who issued a "Sha Tai Buddha Taoist Edict" to directly dismiss all monks and Taoists.

The restriction of the degree, Zongzheng Temple's takeover of the affairs of monks and Taoists in the world, this is also a restriction.

After getting Tang Li's explanation, Li Chongyuan became more at ease with Li Zhuang.

Li Chongyuan was not worried at all about the monk reaching out to Li Zhuang, and he might even hope that the monk would continue to send someone to extend his hand.

How about Chang'an, Li Chongyuan was far away in Zhenzhou, so he didn't care about it at all.

Even if you want to pay attention, the journey is long and there are many waterways, and it will take several months or even half a year to go back and forth.

Unless someone like Baiqisi, the news may be heard within two months.

However, if Li Chongyuan really got the news, he could use the paddle steamer, but Li Chongyuan didn't want to do that, and he didn't want those people in Chang'an to know that he had built a large planting base in Zhenzhou.

Although the officials of Qiongdao already knew about it, Li Chongyuan was not worried that they would reveal the news.

Officials like them were originally demoted or dispatched to this place.

They want to recover, the possibility of it, I am afraid it is not great.

Even if they recover, it will probably be a few years later. By then, everyone in the world will know that Li Chongyuan has a high-yield grain planting base in Zhenzhou, and Li Chongyuan has already taken care of everything.

After Li Chongyuan received Li Shimin's secret decree, he did not write it back to Chang'an.

However, Li Chongyuan wrote a few letters, which made people let him go out.

One was written to my mother.

The second is written to Li Yuan.

The third is written to Ding Mu.

The fourth is written to the royal court.

Writing letters to Li Yuan, my own mother, and Ding Mu is a family letter.

Writing a letter to Wang Ting is to question him about the Wang family reaching out to Li Zhuang.

Wang Ting is not the head of the Wang family, Li Chongyuan also knows that he has no right to control his cousins, but this matter is no small matter, since his Wang Ting has chosen to stand with Li Chongyuan, and his Wang Ting is also the Wang family, Li Chongyuan has reason to question him.

As for what will happen to him, Li Chongyuan believes how the royal court will choose him.

If his royal court dares to sing against Li Chongyuan, or even go back to his royal family, then his position as an official will come to an end.

Under his own hands, Li Chongyuan can completely send a letter to Li Shimin and directly dismiss him as an official. Li Chongyuan can still do this.

If his royal court is not good at handling affairs, as for the title or official position that Li Chongyuan promised him next, it will be even more useless.

After the letter was delivered, Li Chongyuan went back to his busy schedule.

Chang'an is too far away, and I can't pay attention if I want to pay attention, so I might as well be busy with my own duties.

end of september.

When Li Chongyuan looked at the peppers that had been planted, a lot of peppers had grown out, his excitement was gone.

but.

The current chili is not edible yet, Li Chongyuan can only be excited, but he can't relieve the spicy taste he has been craving for more than ten years.

Just when Li Chongyuan was busy.

Three ships came to the pier.

The boat was instantly recognizable as a paddle steamer.

When the ship was berthed at the dock, Li Chongyuan looked at the situation on board and immediately smiled, "Xingba, call Wang Sheng to come over."

After Wang Sheng called, he called and asked, "Prince Li Jun, what do you want me to do?"

"How about the houses that you were asked to build? I haven't gone to see them for a few days, tell me about them." Li Chongyuan asked.

When Wang Sheng heard that he was asking about the house, he patted his chest and said, "The work has been completed. You just need to clean the room before you can move in. King Li, have all the people you recruited arrived?"

"Look at the pier, isn't it all here? Just in time, the house is ready, they have arrived, and they have a place to live, Wang Sheng, I don't worry if you do business." Li Chongyuan said pointing to the pier.

Wang Sheng bowed, "Thank you, Junwang Li, for trusting me."

The pier had already been built a few months ago.

The pier built on the side of the Ningyuan water planting base is small, but it can also berth a super-A paddle steamer.

After all, this Ningyuan water is too narrow, and the water depth is not deep.

Li Chongyuan originally wanted to build a wharf capable of mooring two Type A paddle steamers, but in the end he only built one such wharf.

After the wharf was built, Li Chongyuan immediately asked Wang Sheng to take people to his planting base to repair the house in several directions.

Those residences are scattered in the four directions of the planting base, east, south, north, and right in the middle.

The construction of these residences was prepared for this group of old family members who moved from their hometowns in previous lives.

As early as a few months ago, Li Chongyuan sent someone to his hometown in his previous life to invite someone.

now.

After several months, these people finally came to their own planting base.

After boat after boat of people went down to the pier, Li Chongyuan took a look and found that there were more than [-] people.

Young and old, men and women, big and small.

After getting off the boat, these people on the boat stopped on the pier, looking at the endless plain land in front of them, and some of the crops they saw in front of them, their eyes were full of confusion, nervous and nervous. helpless.

Dazed eyes, dull expression, head looking around, plus some talking words.

Li Chongyuan, who approached, looked at these old family members in his previous life, feeling excited and looking forward to it.

In other words, the people in the southern hills are different from the people in the northern plains.

The people in the northern plains are inferior to those in the southern hills, whether they are good at crops, physically fit, or hardworking.

Li Chongyuan's hometown in his previous life was full of hills and peaks.

Cars and horses are difficult to travel, farming is also manpower, and you can walk when you go out.There is no running water, and the fire is still a firewood stove, and the firewood has to go up the mountain to collect it, and then bundle it and pick it back home.Therefore, it is not like in the northern plains where you have to ride an electric bike for a [-]-meter journey. If you don’t ride, people will ask, why not ride a bike?

But now, Li Chongyuan has recruited more than [-] people from his hometown in his previous life, in order to add some people to his plantation base, which is convenient for management and cultivation.

One is for oneself.

The second is to make up for some regrets.

Third, I want to benefit these old family members.
