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

Chapter 121 Making Money
Sticks flew in front of the Daxiong Palace.Those kings and guards of Zhu Su are only half-grown boys, if they are not afraid of heaven and earth, how can they be afraid of mere gods and Buddhas.Immediately put Yao Guangxiao in front of the hall and began the execution.The sound of hitting the flesh with the fifty army sticks made Zhu Su turn his face away and couldn't bear to look directly at him.Yao Guangxiao just clasped his hands together and chanted the Buddhist scriptures in a low voice, even when he was beaten with fifty army sticks, he didn't even have any resistance.

"What a tough monk!" Even Li Jinglong looked at him with admiration.

"Something." Zhu Su couldn't help being a little shocked.People say that those who are treacherous and evil must be wise and brave.Looking at Yao Guangxiao, one can see that this statement is true. "Monk, do you regret provoking this king?"

"Amitabha. I should have been punished for offending Your Highness, but it is better to say that after receiving this punishment, I can fulfill my wish to become an official of Your Highness. I should also thank Your Highness for his bodhisattva heart." Yao Guangxiao folded his hands and bowed slowly, his face The body has recovered the neither humble nor arrogant nor happy nor sad, but the sound of the blood dripping from the wound on the bluestone board is very clear in Zhu Su's ears.

Crazy, all crazy.Being a groom is obviously a humiliation, how can it be called an official?After being beaten with fifty army sticks, he still insisted on getting up and saluting like a normal person just to pretend to be Boyi. Zhu Su really wanted to ask if it was worth it?
If it were me, if someone dared to hit me with a military stick, I would definitely hate him to the point of itch.This demon monk is still thanking himself?

"...Go down the mountain and go back to the village!"

There were so many people when they came, but there was one more person when they went.Li Jinglong took the fat abbot's hand and said that he would come to visit next time when he was carrying the belongings that the fat abbot had accumulated for many years. How he cursed this group of bandits Zhu Su in his heart is unknown.

Although Yao Guangxiao was able to hold on to stand up, it was obviously much more difficult to go down the mountain.Reluctantly took two steps, the two kings of Wu and Wei couldn't bear it, and seeing that Zhu Su didn't stop him, they picked him up and went down the mountain.After Yao Guangxiao thanked him, he felt at ease and was held up by the two Wu Wangweis. Zhu Su didn't know whether the conspirator was sincerely thanking him or just casually saying polite words.

This guy must be watched closely.So tight that if you want to kill him, you can kill him easily.

After going down the mountain, Xiang Deng and Li Wenzhong waited beside the mountain road.Li Wenzhong saw that the twenty Wu kings and guards went up and down the mountain with helmets and armor, but they didn't look tired at all, so he nodded with great satisfaction.Seeing Yao Guangxiao being dragged down the mountain, he thought it was Zhu Su who taught a monk in a monastery, and didn't bother to ask more questions.The descendants of the old Zhu's family, not to mention just teaching a monk, even setting fire to the whole bird temple, is not a big deal.

The so-called not being close to the way of monks is a good person.There are a few good monks who pretend to be gods and ghosts.The only best monk in the world has already returned to the secular life. After he returned to the secular life, the rest of the pure land of Buddhism is a generation of flies and dogs.

Xiangdeng even burst into laughter looking at the boxes and cages being carried down the mountain.I didn't expect that the temple would be worth so much for one rent, and it would last for a few more days with so much money.

Of course, these silver coins are not used to sit and eat.Zhu Su did not put the money into the treasury, but took the money to ask the craftsmen to build a few more fire kilns, and then called Li Wenzhong, "Brother Bao'er, I need your help. Can you help me?" I am looking for some trusted retired veterans to settle here. I also ask them to bring their families to settle here. The land is vast and sparsely populated, and they can cultivate it as much as they want. I don’t take any money for rent.”

"Veterans? Why do you want those people? Most of these people are disabled and useless. You have settled many orphans in the army and the village has been unable to turn around. You don't want to take any money. Isn't this a gouging out of meat?" ? I can't do that." Li Wenzhong shook his head.

"Brother Bao'er's words are wrong. Everyone in the world thinks those disabled veterans are useless and hideous, but they don't know that they are the most respectable and lovable people in the world to me. Many of them have the rewards of leaving the army, but they can only sit and eat. I don’t know what will happen in the future, why not come to me and I can find a way out for them.”

"And I'm timid, little brother. There is such a group of soldiers who are loyal to Ming Dynasty and shed blood for Daming, and they can sleep peacefully at night in the left and right. The left and right here also want to recruit refugees. It's better to recruit those wounded soldiers and military households. Turnover. Don't worry, soon Zhuangzi will have a lot of gold and silver in his account."

Li Wenzhong couldn't help being moved by what Zhu Su said.His biggest heart trouble this time in the Northern Expedition was that he risked his life but failed to destroy Beiyuan Sheji in one fell swoop, so as to win a wife and shade for his brothers.The imperial court believed that this expedition had no merit or demerit, and even the general silver rewards were not given. This caused some brothers who fought to the death but had to withdraw from the army due to injuries. get.

Many of them are severely disabled and unable to farm.Now that I have retired from the army and returned home, I can only rely on the money from this Weibo to sit and eat.Li Wenzhong, a good man who fought for the country, ended up like this. Sometimes he would feel guilty and toss and turn, unable to sleep all night.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Su cared about these people, and Li Wenzhong was greatly moved.In his eyes, this younger brother who is still short in stature is completely a responsible adult.He laughed loudly: "Okay, since that's the case, I'll call those wounded soldiers over for you."

"They must be happier being able to get together with the former robes. It's better than staying in their own guards and gradually decaying. If you bring them here, is there any way for them to help make money?"

"You can't hide anything from Brother Bao'er." Zhu Su calmly offered a flatterer first. "It's true that I do have some skills here that I can teach these veterans. Let them have a new skill to support their families, and it can also add some income to Zhuangzi."

"Oh?" Li Wenzhong asked curiously. "What new ideas do you have? After building these fire kilns and resettling the wounded soldiers and their families, the money in the village will be exhausted. Even if you want to burn something to sell, you probably won't have the money Go buy raw materials. By the way, what are you going to burn?"

"As for the raw materials... don't they have it here?" Zhu Su squatted down and grabbed a handful of sand.The fine sand was quickly blown away by the wind with his open palm, and Li Wenzhong showed doubts: "The raw materials? Where are you? Did you mean the sand?"

"Brother Baoer, there is a big business going to be launched here. I don't know if Brother Baoer is interested in getting a share and adding more money to Duke Cao's mansion?" Zhu Su chuckled.
