Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 10

"The monk is so kind!"

With a dark face, Li Shan took out an envelope from his pocket and handed it over, "Guangzhou Governor's Mansion on Lingnan Road, the Persian ship's route map has been drawn, and if it goes well, we can reach Tianzhu within a month."

Li Shan remembers this incident very clearly. When I was in elementary school, I read Journey to the West. The devout Buddhist grandfather talked about Tang Sanzang’s journey to the west to learn Buddhist scriptures. Although it is admirable, he is not smart enough. The ship departed and arrived in India in 20 days!

After the transaction was completed, Li Shan pulled his face and left, taking Zhu Ba for a stroll on the street.

"Dalang, I really can't go to Pingkangfang today!"

Li Shan glanced at this guy speechlessly, you are taking it easy!
Zhu Ba whispered: "Uncle Qi said, buy two maids to serve you in a few days."

That's the atmosphere of the old society, and I'm a good student who grew up under the red flag... When Li Shan was thinking about buying a maid, could he choose the goods? He couldn't find a little goblin like Xiaoman, but he couldn't find a crooked one either. Jujube?

However, it is true that Pingkangfang cannot go. I called myself Li Bai that day, and the word Taibai...

After thinking about it, Li Shan simply went back to Zhujiagou, still thinking about what happened today... Who would have thought that Du Ruhui would actually go to Dongshan Temple yesterday.

It seems that Du Ruhui's face was not very good-looking yesterday... Li Shan smiled wryly, and said that he was using cunning methods, so he didn't happen to be talking about Du Ruhui, right?
Back in the village, Li Shan still had a sad face on his face. Zhu Wei, who had been waiting for news, saw this, sighed first, and then came up to persuade... The soldiers were called, and the young and strong in the village were eager to pay the taxes. , Gewürztraminer will be sold tomorrow.

Li Shanhun listened for a while before realizing it, and said with a dry smile: "The monk promised to come down. If there is no accident, Dongshan Temple will not be on the list of abolition."

Zhu Wei was stunned for a while, then slapped his thigh happily and said, "Is that true? I'll go to the city tomorrow to find out!"

Doubts gradually magnified in Li Shan's mind. What is the origin of Zhujiagou? The patriarch Zhu Wei was able to find out so many days in advance that it was Xuanzang's inspection, and it seemed that he was very sure that the truth would be confirmed tomorrow.

Zhu Wei noticed Li Shan's strangeness, "Da Lang, why are you so unhappy?"

"I met two people at the Grand Presiding Temple today." Li Shan looked at Zhu Wei with squinted eyes, and asked tentatively: "One is the chief inspector of the Eastern Palace, Zuo Wei, and Wei Ting of Jingzhao Mansion, and the other is the emperor. The Ce Mansion is engaged in Zhonglang, and the Du family in Jingzhao Mansion is Du Ruhui."

Zhu Wei's expression changed, and he asked carefully, Li Shan was vague, perfunctory with half truth and half lie.

After all, he is a time traveler, and a time traveler who is fairly familiar with the history of the Tang Dynasty. Li Shan has already figured out everything on the way back to Zhujiagou.

Today, none of the generals in Hebei is Liu Heitai's opponent, even Li Shiji has suffered a disastrous defeat, and Qin Wang Li Shimin will definitely go to war next.

As the second son, Li Shimin's status and prestige in the court are all based on his invincible military exploits. He cannot accept possible failure.

Liu Heitai swept across Hebei, won consecutive battles, and his soldiers were sharp, but Guanzhong was short of troops. Li Shimin was determined not to use his foundation to influence the Liuhu Army and Xuanjia Cavalry to meet the enemy head-on.

Therefore, it is very important for Tiance Mansion itself to try to promote the abolition of temples as soon as possible to make up for the shortage of troops... Anyway, this matter was ordered by the sage Li Yuan.

But what Tiance Mansion wants to do, Donggong will definitely do the opposite. Li Shimin is determined to forge ahead, so Li Jiancheng will show grace and generosity. The goal, and Li Shan jumped into this vortex actively and sadly.

"King Qin is not only Tiance Admiral, but also Shang Shu Ling, who ranks as the prime minister, so how can he care about such trivial matters." Zhu Wei smiled and shook his head, "Da Lang thinks too much."

Glancing at Zhu Wei whose eyes were flickering, and then at his mother Zhu Shi who came out of the inner room at some time, Li Shan did not refute. He was sure that the seventh uncle in front of him was definitely not an ordinary farmer.

Ordinary villagers would not be able to understand this complicated and unspeakable court situation, and they would not know that Li Shimin was also the minister...Of course, ordinary people would not find out that Xuanzang was in charge of inspecting temples.

Uncle Qi is not an ordinary farmer, and obviously, the Zhu family is not an ordinary Lingnan woman either. Li Shan can't help thinking about it... Lingnan, this is the main place where criminal officials and their families were exiled in the Sui Dynasty.

As for Li Dewu himself, he was exiled in Lingnan, so it seems logical to find a family with a fellow sufferer.

"Da Lang doesn't need to worry. If the monk doesn't play tricks, there will always be other temples that will be abolished. King Qin and other important figures will not see Dongshan Temple."

Li Shan nodded slightly, big figures like Li Shimin, Li Jiancheng, even Du Ruhui should not be stingy to come here to seek bad luck from Zhujiagou.

Putting all these troubles aside, Li Shan said with a smile: "After today, with the praise of Xuanzang, Dongshan Temple will definitely become famous... Zen Master Wuchao came east with the scriptures, Qi Bo, don't laugh, don't laugh. "

Zhu Wei still couldn't help laughing, "You are a narrow-minded ghost, you pretend to be a dumb servant, if you are exposed..."

"Uncle Dumb can't speak anyway, if there are visitors, he just needs to close his eyes and rest his mind. Xuanzang and I have agreed that there will be new translations of the "Diamond Sutra" and "Heart Sutra" in Dongshan Temple, and someone in the city will come to ask for sutras..."

Zhu Wei suppressed his laughter, and continued, "No wonder you didn't allow Gewürztraminer to be sold in Dongxi Market before, so that was the idea."

"The eminent monk came east with scriptures and put up an order for Dongshan Temple to make Gewürztraminer, how can it be sold at such a low price!"

Zhu Wei looked at Mrs. Zhu, cupped his hands and said, "With such a thought, seeing the big from the small, it will definitely not be a vulgar product in the future."

Li Shan has a serious face, selling tofu brains in the Dongxi market, the amount of money he can get, just paying back taxes is not enough.

Being attached to the names of eminent monks and scriptures in Dongshan Temple can either gain fame or maximize benefits.

What's more, if Dongshan Temple is not abolished, the villagers do not need to pay back taxes, and the money for selling tofu...

As soon as Li Shan thought of this, Zhu Wei made a final decision and said, "This matter is all up to you to arrange, and all the benefits of Qiongwürztraminer belong to you alone."

I really want to agree, but it's a pity that the mother who puts righteousness first is beside me. Li Shan carefully scrutinized Zhu Wei's expression, wondering if the old man deliberately picked his mother to talk about it.

"Uncle Qi was joking. "Historical Records" says: It is better to get Jibu Yinuo than to get a hundred catties of gold." Li Shanqiang said with a smile: "The so-called thousand gold promises were agreed on the same day, how can the boy go back on his word?"

Zhu Wei stroked his beard and praised, then turned to look at Mrs. Zhu, "Although this is the case, Dongshan Temple will not be abolished if it is investigated tomorrow... In the future, both of you will need money to settle down, build a house, and buy land. Let's do it, no matter how much it is. , Dalang will share [-]% of the profits."

Li Shan hid aside, watched the two people push back and forth, and wondered if he wanted to build a new house, should he build a courtyard...

Finally, it was settled after Li Shan's persuasion. The Li family got [-]% of the profit, and the remaining [-]% will be used for other purposes in the future.

Zhu Wei sighed and said: "Living people's lives, solving the crisis of the temple, and... such a great kindness, Da Lang is waiting, that day you said to take concubines and sex, and I will pick two charming girls for you!"

Li Shan was stunned for a moment, and saluted solemnly, "I dare not resign from the elder's gift."
