Daming: At the start of the showdown, Lao Zhu was stunned

Chapter 118 Black Monk

Zhu Su felt quite proud of successfully diverting the topic from poetry to gewu, and fooling Fang Xiaoru and Xu Yungong by the way.After taking a hot bath, he left Zhuangzi.On the mountainside behind Zhuangzi, there is a kiln heavily guarded by soldiers.The most important thing for Zhu Su now is to train the fine steel that can make high-quality firecrackers, and the cement that can quickly build cities.

When it comes to forging steel, Zhu Su has in his mind the handbook of indigenous steelmaking that he had read in his previous life.In a certain period in the later generations, on the land of China, there was a vigorous steelmaking boom, and every village built a blast furnace to engage in large-scale steelmaking.Although it is said that the scrap rate is also high, compared with the early Ming Dynasty, such a steelmaking furnace is already sufficient for use.

Although some details are still being tested.But Zhu Su believes that in time, these steel furnaces will be able to produce steel far exceeding the current quality.

Cement also needs to be explored.Zhu Su only knows the general formula, but the cement that has been fired now is still unusable and crumbles when he holds it.It also takes time.

"Your Highness, I need to discuss something with you." Xiang Deng leaned over.After Zhu Su asked, he realized that there was no money in Huangzhuang's books.

"Didn't the palace allocate half a year's worth of money? Now it's been less than a month, and it's already been spent?" Zhu Su was a little dumbfounded.There are not many talents in Huangzhuang now, and Xiang Deng will be in charge for the time being.It's hard not to wonder if the eunuch's eyes were opened when he saw Qian.

"Your Highness...Your Highness! Even if this old slave has 1 guts, he wouldn't dare to reach out to your head!" Xiang Deng directly knelt down to Zhu Su. "It's true that you can only get in and out these days, and the unexpected expenses are really too big..."

As he spoke, he began to complain about his suffering.First, many family members of Wu Wangwei were placed, which cost a lot of money.Then there are raw materials such as lime, iron ore, and coal mines, which are all purchased from various places by river transport, which is very expensive.

Later, Zhu Su changed the mansion by himself, and spent a lot of money, such as building fire walls, building waterways, erecting water towers, and so on.

"Then this Zhuangzi also had land before, so there was no income?" Zhu Su couldn't believe that such a large land would make a lot of money for future generations to do whatever they want.

As a result, it was placed in his hands, and he was going to be unable to make ends meet in just one month?
"The real estate in Zhuangzi has produced some output. It's just that all these Zhuangtians were dedicated to Bifeng Temple as real estate before."

"The tax and food produced have been delivered to the monk in the temple in advance before being classified as Huangzhuang. It is not yet time to collect taxes in the next season..."

"Why don't you ask them to pay the tax in advance, Your Highness?" Xiang Deng suggested.

"...you step back first." Killing the chicken to get the egg?He wasn't stupid enough to do such a thing.

Xiang Deng didn't dare to say much, and stepped back obediently.Zhu Su sat in the room and thought about it for a while, the more he thought about it, the more panicked he felt.

The fields here were the property of the temple in the Yuan Dynasty.After Lao Zhu established Daming, the fields here were cut from the property of Bifeng Temple and distributed to farmers.

But how many years has Daming been established?What method did the bald donkeys in these temples use to swallow these lands into their mouths?
In the fifth year of Hongwu, there was already such an annexation of land in the suburbs of Yingtian.What about Jiangnan?What about other places?
"Come on! Prepare the guard of honor!" Zhu Su said loudly.

This group of bald donkeys plucked wool onto my Zhu Su's head?How dare you bully me when I'm young and don't know anything?
When I came to Bifeng Mountain, I haven't been to Bifeng Temple to meet the neighbors on the mountain.Now, it's just a matter of time to hang out with the neighbors!
A vassal guard of honor was soon ready.Since Zhu Su proclaimed himself king, this was the first time that he used the guard of honor of the feudal king.Or how to say that people need clothes, Zhu Su put on this vassal king's robe with his usual idle appearance, and immediately became solemn and solemn.

The two platoons of Wu Wangwei, who had been training for half a month, wore their helmets and armor, even though they were only teenagers, they lined up neatly, as if they were one person.There was a murderous look in Gu Pan's eyes, and he couldn't tell at all that these people were just recruits.

"Uncle Wu, is this going to smash Bifeng Temple?" Li Jinglong feared that the world would not be chaotic, so he put back on his flamboyant moon white gown.It's just that my face has been tanned a lot after exercising in the past few days, but it's no longer romantic.Compared with the son-in-law, he looks more like a wretched dog-headed military adviser.

"What's wrong with you? It's been a long time since we've been here and we haven't visited our neighbors. Today, we think of it and say hello to our good neighbors. If we want to say hello, wouldn't it be impolite for me not to put on a guard of honor?" Zhu Su chuckled. The eyes are full of evil demeanor.

Li Jinglong was even more excited when he saw it, and insisted that he also accompany him.He couldn't believe what Zhu Su said about visiting neighbors.These days, he already knew that his fifth uncle was a lawless master who used to enjoy himself.He is even more victorious than Li Jinglong.Even the pails used for outings have to be made of white porcelain, and they have to be placed in the house, and something that can be flushed is specially made.What kind of toilet is it called?Such a dandy style that knows how to enjoy has long been admired by Li Jinglong. Will such a person pay respects to those bald donkeys in a polite manner?

Determined to keep up!The two villains led a large group of King Wu's guards, and they rushed towards the Bifeng Temple on the mountain.When the abbot in the temple heard that soldiers were coming from the Huangzhuang Village at the foot of the mountain, he was so frightened that he brought the monks in the room to meet him from a distance. "I don't know His Highness the King of Wu is here, but the small temple is far away, and I beg for forgiveness!"

"Small temple? Master, I think your temple is not small." Li Jinglong is worthy of being a ghostly figure in Yingtian Mansion, and such an ordinary sentence can find fault with him.He looked at the majestic mountain temple, and he was amazed, his face was full of sarcasm.

"Great monk, to maintain such a big temple, you need a lot of incense money, right?"

As soon as this remark came out, the fat abbot was so frightened that he knelt down on the spot.It's not that he has never seen a nobleman before, but this is really the first time he has seen a nobleman who came to the temple with soldiers and threatened him without any regard for face.Isn't it big tomorrow?Why are the nobles of the Ming Dynasty more barbaric than the nobles of the Yuan Dynasty?

Zhu Su didn't speak, and led the guards straight past the abbot and rushed into the temple.A monk who only eats vegetarian food and recites Buddha can grow so fat, big, white, and clean. He would not believe that he was not so rich that he killed Zhu Su.Great wow!Only a few years after the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, such a Buddhist temple appeared.This Bifeng Temple doesn't seem to be ranked well in Yingtian?

The primitive accumulation of capital is bloody.Search these fat monks?Seems like a good idea.

The monks of Bifeng Temple fought against each other.They discovered that His Highness King Wu, who was young and short in stature, looked at them like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.Buddha, is it a disaster from heaven?I was lucky enough to survive the time of enlightenment, but I didn't expect that in this peaceful and prosperous world, I would die here and disappear?
Zhu Su looked around the temple, and when he walked to the main hall in the middle, he saw that Sakyamuni Buddha was solemn and shining with golden light, and he was even more annoyed.Too lazy to deal with this group of people anymore, I turned my head to look at the fat abbot, "I will give you a chance to take three breaths, think clearly."

"What is the total amount of the commissions paid in advance by the servants in the farmland of the king under the mountain, whether it is given or kept."

"You can give it if you want, and this king will offer a stick of incense to this Buddha. You can also keep it if you want. This king has his own warriors, so you can take it yourself."

"It's okay to lie to me. It's a Buddhist temple. I'm still young. If I accidentally burn it, my father will only blame me a little..."

This straightforward threat scared the fat abbot into shivering, and he stopped calling himself a monk. He immediately took a few steps on his knees and kowtowed to Zhu Su:

"My lord, let me go! My lord, let me tell you! The villain dares to go ahead and swallow the lord's rent if he has the guts of a bear?"

"It's true that someone deceived the little monk! There are thousands of mistakes, only that person! Please forgive me, Lord! Please forgive me, Lord!"

In an instant, everyone knelt down in front of the Daxiong Palace.These monks who usually look dignified and dignified have no demeanor of a monk, but at this moment they are no different from the small people in the market who follow the wind.

"Who is it?" Zhu Su asked coldly.From the gossip of the monks, Zhu Su already knew that this plan was made by a wandering monk who lived here as a guest.Since there are such evil monks, Zhu Su doesn't suggest using him as an example for neighbors to clean up temple discipline.

"Hehe, what His Royal Highness King Wu is looking for is this little monk? This plan is exactly what the little monk came up with. If His Highness wants to kill or cut him to pieces, he can just target the little monk. Why scare those ordinary people?" A voice came from the back of the hall.Different from the panic of the group of monks at this time, this voice was calm and upright, quite Zen-like.The magnetic voice seems to have a natural ability to confuse people.

Zhu Su turned his head, and saw a monk in black robes coming out from the back of the hall as if strolling in a courtyard, and made a Buddhist salute to Zhu Su with his hands clasped together.

　Sorry, I have some personal matters today.Updates are a little less.I will have more tomorrow!
