stubborn thief

Chapter 294 Drawing
Liu Chengzong was thousands of miles away in Dajian Furnace, so naturally he couldn't hear Ren Quan'er's prayer.

But Muya was also talking to him about prayer.

There is Jianerlang Temple in Lucheng, which has always been a place of worship for Sichuan people. However, due to the competition for the market on both sides of the Dadu River, not many Han people have arrived at Dajianlu for several years.

Liu Chengzong asked Muya to repair the Erlang Temple, but Muya was obedient. He summoned old scholar Yang Wanchun and thirteen ajias to donate more than a thousand taels, allocated three main halls, three dormitory halls, and eighteen group sacrificial halls. It is necessary to build the largest Sanjiao nunnery of the Han family in Lucheng here.

But Mu Ya actually planned to invite Li Bing and Erlang God to the Qunsi Hall, and reserve the main hall for Liu Chengzong's living shrine, which is very inappropriate.

Just after the new year, Liu Chengzong recovered from being too busy to touch the ground.

On the one hand, the cultivated land rented from Muya needs to be cultivated manually, and on the other hand, a military depot needs to be set up on the west side of the large grassland to support the Songpan Guard Banner Army.

One of these two matters is related to immigration, and the other is related to rations, both of which are so important that Liu Chengzong can't take care of Li Muya.

She never expected that Muya found Liu Chengzong by herself, and wanted to chat with him about Wanshi Yonggu.

Liu Chengzong has never believed that there is any unchanging truth in this world. Time changes and situations change. Even the same system may be a good government 100 years ago, but it may become a bad government 100 years later.

Dynasties change, and which dynasty can last forever?

But Mu Ya said that he has a way to make Liu Chengzong's country in Kangning Mansion last forever.

To be honest, even though Liu Chengzong felt that he was holding back, the way he looked at Mu Ya was still like looking at a fool.

Liu Chengzong said bluntly: "Muya, there is nothing permanent in this world, and my rule in Kangning Mansion is not stable, it has nothing to do with Kangning Mansion...it has to do with ourselves!"

He pointed his thumb towards his chest and said: "If we do well, we will be stable. If we go against the law like nobles, we will fall when the wind blows."

Muya was stunned for a while before realizing it, nodded and said: "What the commander said is true, but educating the people can make the commander's country more stable."

Liu Chengzong thought this was bullshit, and said: "There are less than [-] people in the Kangning Mansion who can speak long sentences frequently. What do you think I am looking for these students? I need to rely on them to teach a group of people who are proficient in Han Fan." People who speak words, let the people have knowledge, and then the local imperial examinations will be held."

As the saying goes, those who are good at fighting make the best use of the situation, and for Liu Chengzong, the same is true for enlightenment.

With the first batch of students, the first imperial examination was held, and Fan Xiucai became an official at that time, and the enlightenment would naturally spread.

This is how the enlightenment of the Ming Dynasty in the Hehuang Valley was. Only when Xi Fanxiu went to Guangdong to become an official, the people would naturally follow the court.

But Liu Chengzong didn't expect that Muya paused for a long time before he said with a look of embarrassment: "That... the commander-in-chief misunderstood, the enlightenment I said is not for people to improve their knowledge and language, but for you to cultivate a shrine .”

Liu Chengzong was dumbfounded: "You call this enlightenment?"

What kind of enlightenment is Xiusheng Temple? In Liu Chengzong's consciousness, this thing is called flattery. The last person who likes this thing is Wei Zhongxian, and it is difficult to connect it with good things.

But Mu Ya seriously asked a seemingly irrelevant question: "Has the commander never been to the temple in Kangning Mansion?"

"No." Liu Chengzong shook his head as it should be and said, "The temple occupies wealth and people's power, so I wish I could tear it down wherever I go, and what to do there."

Hearing these words in Muya's ears, she shook her head helplessly, and hummed the libretto in a rough voice: "This gentleman is so arrogant! Seeing my brother standing on the steps, he is lying on the high bed, unable to sleep!"

Liu Chengzong realized that this was a line from Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and laughed and said, "Don't pretend to be Zhang Fei here, because you just want to say that I am arrogant, yes, I am."

Seeing that he wasn't angry, Muya just responded easily, she was overjoyed and relieved.

Naturally, he was relieved because Liu Chengzong was not angry. These days, he got acquainted with Liu Chengzong, and knew that he was not that hot-tempered, and he was quite approachable.

The happy thing is that Liu Chengzong has never been to a temple, which is his strength.

He clapped his hands in front of him, and said, "The commander-in-chief knows that although I, Muya, am a chieftain, I have read the Four Books and Five Classics since elementary school, and I have worshiped the Buddha and Erlang God. there."

"However, under the rule of the general, there are hundreds of thousands of people, and at least 2 people have been to the temple, and they often go. The general has never been to the temple. It is like entering the Central Plains, but he never knows what the Four Books and Five Classics are. .”

Liu Chengzong waved his hand and said, "But the rest of them have never been in a temple in their entire lives."

Mu Ya took a deep breath: "Marshal, what they lack experience is not only entering temples, writing, using weapons, and counting...there are many things they lack experience in."

Liu Chengzong nodded slowly, and said to Mu Ya: "You want to ask me, why don't you use the old nobles?"

"No." Muya shook her head, put her thumb between the two of them, looked at Liu Chengzong very seriously, and said, "I want to ask the commander, is there any shortage in the Kangning Mansion who is familiar with the customs of the Fan people and proficient in Xi Fan in Shaanxi and Sichuan? Dialects, officials who want to educate the people?"

"You know someone like this?"

Muya cupped her fists: "It's right here."

Yo, the co-author is looking for me to ask for an official.

Liu Shizi laughed and said, "I don't want Chang Hexi anymore?"

"I want it, so ask the commander-in-chief to see if I can become an official in Nangqian, and Chang Hexi will keep it for me." Mu Ya said it very easily, but with a pitiful expression: "I can give the commander-in-chief a Corning is a great help, really, long-term stability depends on me."

Mu Ya didn't just say it casually, he really wanted to be an official in Qinghai Marshal's Mansion.

Because he found Liu Chengzong very strange.

How to describe it?
It can be said that Muya can understand everything Qinghai Marshal's Mansion has done so far.

In his eyes, attacking King Baili, attacking King Lincong, expelling Baili and Lincong's nobles, and even expelling a group of Nangqian nobles, Mu Ya can understand, this is the same as the imperial court's attack on Bozhou Yang Yinglong, dismantling Bozhou is the same as Zunyi Prefecture in Sichuan and Pingyue Prefecture in Guizhou.

It is also normal to restore the freedom of slaves and abolish corporal punishment. Qinghai Marshal's Mansion is mostly Han people, so it is normal to follow the laws of Han people.

As for reclaiming fields and so on, it is not surprising.

But it wasn't these reasons that made him produce the Marshal's Mansion, but during the conversation, he found that Liu Chengzong's starting point for doing things was different from what he imagined.

This guy didn't extort money in the Kangning Mansion, set up an army of slaves to conquer the west, but he really wanted to teach the slaves to be ordinary people who worked hard but had enough to eat.

It's strange, it's so strange that Mu Ya has been unconsciously anxious recently: You can't do what you want to do with such arrogance!

Liu Chengzong was very cautious about this official's proposal. He asked, "If there is a vacancy for the governor of Kangning Mansion, what do you plan to do?"

"Actually, I don't have to do it. If I have time, I will take the commander-in-chief to the temple, and the commander-in-chief will understand."

Muya smiled, raised her hand and tapped her temple, and said to Liu Chengzong: "The commander-in-chief is a scholar from northern Shaanxi, and I will say a few things, the commander-in-chief must know, four books and five classics, novels, theater troupe, storyteller, Comics."

Comic strips are a general term. Those with more characters and fewer paintings but only drawing characters in novels are called embroidered images; those with one picture each time are called full pictures; The advancement of entertainment brought about by the popularization of printing.

Liu Chengzong asked: "What happened to these things?"

"What I said may not be right. The commander-in-chief just listened to it. I thought that the morality of the people did not originate from the law. Before I knew the law of the Ming Dynasty, I already knew that Guan Yunchang traveled thousands of miles alone, and that the traitor was called Qin Hui. The thief is called Dong Zhuo."

Mu Ya was suddenly happy as she spoke, and added in her heart, the day before yesterday I found the Romance of the Three Kingdoms again, Dong Zhuo is like you, his father is a petty official, and when he was young, he was also very fierce, you should be careful to keep in shape.

"In addition to this, there are archways, squires, and folk tales. There are so many ways in Han to teach people morality."

Muya spread her hands: "What about our barbarian family? The land is vast and sparsely populated, with high mountains and deep valleys. If you want to visit a relative, you have to ride five days of horses. Once the grain is collected, the leader of the barbarian family will fight. Life is not easy. If the people are no longer restrained, then It's just murder and robbery."

"Why do I say that the commander-in-chief is arrogant if he doesn't go to the temple? You can only understand a lot of things when you go there. There are all paintings there. It's like a riddle. Han people know loyalty when they see Guan Yu. How do Fanmin who live in the mountains know? In our case How can there be so many good roots in such a place?"

Muya waved his hand and said, "We also have our riddles. When you see the snakes, pigeons, and pigs painted on the wall, you know greed, anger, and ignorance. When you see the trident, you know the three kinds of wisdom."

Liu Chengzong didn't comment on this, slowly shook his head and said: "It's about compassion, but what I see is not the case."

"Marshal, Confucius also admired honesty and honesty, and some Han officials didn't bat an eye when they were greedy for money and perverted the law?"

Mu Ya said very seriously: "It's one thing to respect, but at the same time, people who hold the power of life and death also need more restraint. King of the monks."

"The commander-in-chief is a powerful person. He has the ability to convince the public and the desire to make immeasurable merit. I would like to help the commander-in-chief."

Liu Chengzong was already a little impatient, Muya had said a lot, but he still didn't know how Muya planned to help him, and how to achieve the wish of Kangning Mansion's long-term peace and stability.

"So what are you going to do?" he asked.

"draw."

Mu Ya still looked serious: "The commander-in-chief wants to establish private schools, social schools, and county schools in various places, so that people will be educated, able to be officials, and have a future. I think this method is the solution to the root cause, but the effect is too slow. It is a matter of a generation, and it is difficult to see results in five or six years, so what should we do in the past five or six years? Fight?"

"I don't think the commander-in-chief intends to spend his whole life in Fandi. My method is quick, and it won't delay the commander-in-chief from imparting knowledge."

Muya rubbed her hands, her eyes sparkled with enthusiasm, and said: "800 years ago, Padmasambhava entered Tubo, conquered the ghosts and gods with evil knowledge and views, and taught Buddhism... Now the commander-in-chief sent troops to sweep away evil knowledge and views, and expel evildoers. Isn't that the generation who subdues demons and conquers demons?"

Liu Chengzong's eyes lit up. He really didn't really understand the thoughts of the common people in this land, but it wasn't all out of arrogance.

Because most of his knowledge of Fandi comes from Chen Shifo, and Chen Shifo is a monk in Xining, and everything he sees and hears is not out of touch with Handi.

Until he went deep into Nangqian, Chen Shifo did not go so far into Fandi, and everything was an unprecedented experience for everyone.

Based on this understanding, Liu Chengzong came up with the idea of ​​standardizing temples and legalizing scriptures.

And Mu Ya's proposal is basically in line with his ideas, and it is more down-to-earth, painting.

Liu Chengzong followed Mu Ya's idea and said: "Not only to paint, but also to make up stories and go around asceticly, to promote the merits of the marshal's mansion to subdue demons and eliminate demons."

"exactly!"

Mu Ya clapped and said: "Let those nobles do it together. This can also be used as a touchstone. It is clear at a glance who is single-minded and who is not. If you are not single-minded, find a way to deal with it, and there is no need to start a war."

"It's a one-hearted person, Marshal. I'm also a fan. Everyone has good and bad, so don't kill them all. The Marshal's Mansion also uses the talents of nobles."

Mu Ya persuaded: "It is a great merit for the Marshal's Mansion to turn the slaves over, but in a short period of time, the common people's knowledge and ability cannot keep up, and dozens of Han scholars alone cannot do it."

Seeing his worried look, Liu Chengzong burst out laughing: "When will I kill the nobles? Now there are seven counties in Kangning Prefecture. The magistrate of Makang County is the Gama monk from Nangqian, and the magistrate of Lincong County is from the Baizha Salt Field in the past. Headman."

"And the other five county magistrates, I also plan to appoint the old nobles, of course they have to be obedient."

Liu Chengzong has long been aware of the problem Mu Ya mentioned, and there is no need for others to remind him of this matter.

It's just that his thinking is different from Mu Ya's in this matter, he is more inclined to Cao Yao's thinking. At the beginning, when the people's rebellious psychology was the strongest, the county magistrates all appointed local people.

As for the future, Liu Chengzong still planned to appoint Fan Min as the official, but that would have to be mostly slaves.

It is true that many slaves were lacking in strength, but it was not their fault that they were lacking in strength.

It is true that many nobles have real talents and learning, but in this land, every bit of this real talent and learning is blood and tears.

As long as the people in Basang learn something in the next few years, he is more willing to appoint those people as his lower-level officials.

Hearing what Liu Chengzong said, Mu Ya heaved a sigh of relief, clasped her fists and smiled and said, "Then the commander-in-chief just wait for my good news, I will find a suitable candidate before April, and take out a copy of the generalissimo to subdue demons and eliminate demons." The picture of the people's security will let the people in the whole Kangning Mansion know the achievements of the Generalissimo next year!"

　Good evening!I accompanied my wife back to her natal home yesterday. I came back late, sorry!
