Zhenguan Chang'an Xiaofangzheng

Chapter 31
To the west of the imperial city, there is a Xiudefang.

In Xiudefang, there is an old house of Wang Junkuo. In the eighth year of Zhenguan, the emperor pursued blessings for Empress Taimu and established it as Hongfu Temple.

Look, this is the deceptive behavior of human beings. Do you want to promote the Buddha or suppress the Buddha?

Originally, relying on the emperor's worship, even though Hongfu Temple's geography is really remote and there are not many scattered pilgrims, it still has a good life.

However, Hongfu Temple and Longtian Temple had the same cause and same end, which annoyed Li Shimin.

The Temple Department of the Ministry of Rites conducted strict assessments on the participating temples, from precepts and regulations to Buddhist scriptures. Those who passed the recitation of the two Buddhist scriptures were allowed to stay, and those who failed were forced to return to vulgarity.

Strictly speaking, this is not too demanding. As a monk, isn't reciting Buddhist scriptures a basic homework?

But if Buddhism can expand rapidly, it is certain that there will be mud and sand, and there are also people who pretend to be fakes. If you don't annoy the immediate emperor, you still have time to teach slowly.

But, who made you stand out?
More than a hundred monks from Hongfu Temple were directly sent back to the secular world by force.

However, this is just an appetizer.

"Two years, two years, Hongfu Temple only took in eleven monks, and one of them was murdered!"

In the harem of Taiji Palace, beside the East China Sea, Li Shimin gritted his teeth.

Monks, also known as disciple monks, in the Tang Dynasty meant monks who were shaved and supported by wealthy families.

If you still don't understand it, you can understand by referring to Lu Zhishen who became a monk in Wutai Mountain. Lu Zhishen is a monk.

As monks, they either have insufficient Zen quality, or find it difficult to abide by the rules and regulations. Anyway, they have to be somewhat inappropriate to go through this back door.

But the fierceness is really speechless.

As for the East China Sea, don't worry about it. There are South China Sea, West China Sea, and North Sea in the harem of Taiji Palace. Even if Li Shimin yelled "I am rich in the world", that is not bragging.

The dignified and gentle concubine Wei Gui sighed softly: "Everyone in the world is greedy, but the temple enshrined by the royal family is also greedy, and even dare to accept such disciples."

Zhaorong Wei Nizi could only plead guilty with a bitter face.

Wei Gui was startled: "A monk of Webster's?"

Wei Gui and Wei Nizi are not biological sisters, but cousins. They also rely on Chang'an Wei's back, and both are prosperous and both are prosperous.

"Isn't it Wei Siyan? Hey, outsiders boast about 'Chang'an Weidu, five feet away from the sky', and they can't find the north. They dare to do anything."

Chang'an Webster is indeed a big local family, and it also occupies a large space in the entire Tang Dynasty.

At the same time, the marriage between Webster and the royal family is also remarkable.

In addition to Wei Gui and Wei Nizi, there are also famous empress Wei in history, as well as Wei Hongmin, Wei Chengqing, Wei Juyuan, Wei Anshi, Wei Wen, Wei Jiansu, Wei Chuhou and other ministers, which are enough to illustrate Webster's ability.

The ten fingers are not the same length. If someone is responsible for the future, then naturally there will be someone who is not.

Wei Nizi is also very helpless, dear brother, can you just watch him fall off the cliff?

Li Shimin waved his hand: "From now on, this Wei Siyan should not leave the officialdom, so as not to cause trouble for Wei Shimin."

Wen Nizi blessed himself: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

Wei Gui smiled: "Your Majesty considers Webster as his family, so he has considered so much. If it was someone else, he would have been accused."

So, the older woman is still sensible, and any kindness you do for her will not be ignored.

This is also the reason why Wei Gui was able to take the position of noble concubine as a second marriage, only under the empress.

Having said that, I have to slander Li Shimin, Cao thief!

……

Wei Siyan was very irritable, but he had nowhere to vent his anger.

It's embarrassing for him to be the only one of the three mainline brothers fooling around outside the officialdom.

Even if he lived like a character in Wei Qu, how many people knew him when he entered Chang'an City?

Without an official status, he is just a grassroots person if he is said to be a god.

My sister had earned a prominent position in the palace, so he found a way to do it. It was already a certainty that he would become a general and serve as a prison. There is no need to actually perform the duties, and the qualifications will naturally be sufficient after a few years.

Anyway, it's just an errand to harvest timber, just a transition.

But the fury of thunder from the emperor's brother-in-law made him watch the black hat that he was about to get fly away with wings flapping.

Why!

That monk has a problem, you drag him to kill him!
Why are you taking your anger out on me!

The little people are unhappy, and the pots and bowls at home suffer;

The big man is unhappy, and the people who depend on his family for a living will feel uncomfortable.

More than a thousand laborers in Dunhuafang, Lizhengfang and Guangdefang suffered disaster.

Most of the laborers who went to Dongshi to load and unload goods belonged to Chang'an Webster's territory. If Webster didn't want them, life would be difficult.

More than [-] of them were residents of Dunhua Fang, who were immediately brought into a gloomy mood.

Fan Zheng also felt a headache when he received the news.

Even if the family's Fan's woodworking workshop is developing steadily, it can barely accommodate ten more workers, but two hundred, hehe...

The nonsense of the monks caused Fan Zheng's snacks to hang up a little bit, and there was actually a monk who came out of Dunhuafang!

Those who privately enter the Tao and save them will be given a hundred sticks.

Although it happened during the previous Fangzheng period, and the monk who received the cane was also a monk, Fan Zheng was still affected a little, and the exams in Wannian County were more or less affected.

Fan Zheng thought about it for a long time, but he didn't think about how to arrange the two hundred strong laborers, and there was no place to use them in the workshop.

Xiang Liqian was quite happy: "It just so happens that the Patriarch wants to talk to you about building Xinghua Village winery outside Chang'an City today. Those non-essential labors also require a lot of manpower."

Fan Zheng raised his eyebrows, feeling a little surprised, and soon figured it out again.

If it succeeds, Xiangli's hometown in Xinghua Village will certainly expand the winery. There is only one reason for building a winery in Chang'an, transportation costs.

Even with the development of logistics in later generations, the proportion of transportation costs still cannot be reduced, let alone in Datang?

For wine, except for a few special cases where local water quality needs to be taken into account, where it is produced has little impact.

If the water quality is strictly controlled, it is impossible for the entire Fenzhou wine to be called Fenjiu.

The relationship between the Patriarch of Xiangli and Fan Zheng was satisfactory to each other.

Fan Zheng did not pretend to be an expert, but admitted that the help he could provide was distillation, packaging, and marketing.

Suggestions on distillation have already been sent to Xiang Ligan, and there is nothing to say, just ask Taoist priests who make alchemy and craftsmen who know how to forge to improve it.

"These stupid, big, black and thick jars all have to be replaced with white porcelain bottoms, painted with... written with..."

Speaking of this, it is inevitable to be embarrassing.

Fan Zheng belonged to the king with a strong mouth, and those who couldn't hold a pen were better than him in terms of handwriting, and a brush tied to a dog's paw with a thin waist.

Therefore, Fan Zheng could only dictate, plus pointing, Wuhou Xiangligan wrote and drew, and the style of painting was unexpectedly weird.

As for the more than two hundred strong laborers, in the eyes of Patriarch Xiangli, it is not the same thing at all.
