Master Xuanzhen is already in his prime, and his wrinkles are stacked and his eyebrows are white. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Coupled with decades of penance, the whole person looks very thin.

The wide coarse cloth monk's robe looked very flowing on him.

If it weren't for the fact that he didn't have hair, Doudou felt that he had a bit of a fairy wind bone.

Or it is quite the style of Wei and Jin celebrities.

Master Xuanzhen walked in front of Doudou and said, "Amitabha, the old man is polite. ”

Seeing that the voices of people were too noisy, Doudou proposed, "Master, why don't we find a quiet place, the little girl has many questions for you." ”

Master Xuanzhen said: "There is an abandoned land temple outside the south city gate that is very quiet, and in recent days, Lao Qu and Wuxin have settled there, and the little donor is invited." ”

Probably because he had never ridden a donkey, Wuxin looked at the donkey in Doudou's hand without blinking, and was a little eager to try.

Doudou smiled, and no matter what the master would think, he directly sent the thin Wuxin to the donkey's back.

Wuxin's little face was red with excitement, and his little hands grabbed the reins and didn't dare to move.

I thought that Master Xuanzhen was going to talk at length about how his family was doing, but he didn't expect that he just smiled and glanced at Wuxin, and didn't say half a word.

Doudou was so shocked that his little mouth was almost closed.

This wandering is really a good thing, not only has the enlightenment become lively, but even the master seems to have more fireworks.

Soon the three of them went out of the city through the south gate, and after walking about two miles, they came to the Land Temple.

It has been abandoned for many years, and it is a little dilapidated, but Doudou has always been informal, and he took Wuxin off the donkey and sat directly next to Master Xuanzhen.

Doudou was not as calm as the master, and spoke first: "Master, didn't you say that you will only take Wuxin out to travel in the spring of this year, why did you leave Wenshu Monastery last year?" ”

Master Xuanzhen said: "After you left last year, Lao Qu received a letter from the abbot of Qingliang Temple, so he simply came out with enlightenment. ”

Wuxin muttered in a low voice on the side: "Sister, didn't you say that you want to go back to the capital?" How did you end up here, and you're dressed like this......"

Master Xuanzhen didn't blame Wuxin for being too talkative, but just stretched out his hand and stroked his little bald head: "Wuxin, everything in the world comes from the word fate." ”

Wuxin actually didn't understand at all, but he still nodded obediently: "Oh." ”

Doudou said with a smile: "Wuxin, you traveled with the master to increase your knowledge, and my sister is the same, what can you do if you are locked up in the courtyard of the deep house all day." ”

Now he understood and said with a smile: "Sister, I want to feel the suffering of the people." ”

Doudou smiled, not wanting to explain more with the little one.

She took out the steamed bun she had just bought from the baggage she was carrying and handed it to Wuxin: "This is what my sister bought just now, you go and make a fire to boil some boiling water, and we will have lunch later." ”

Wuxin didn't dare to make his own decisions, turned his head to look at the master, and saw that he was slightly bowing before he smiled and took the steamed bun to the side to make a fire.

Doudou then restrained the smile on his face and said, "Master, when the little girl saw your conversation with the shopkeeper of the grain store, was it for the issue of grain purchase?" ”

There shouldn't be any intersection between the master and the shopkeeper of the grain store, and he doesn't seem to be a person who likes to join in the fun, so it will not be a coincidence that he is here today.

At the mention of this, Master Xuanzhen was a little worried and said, "The old man is just doing his best, but unfortunately no one pays attention to it...... At present, this matter seems to be just a matter of money, and if it continues to develop, the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

Doudou sighed in his heart, could it be that there is something hidden behind this matter?

She hurriedly said, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Master Xuanzhen said: "Can the little benefactor believe the words of the old man? ”

Doudou hurriedly said: "The little girl believes it." ”

Master Xuanzhen stretched out his hand and stroked the long white beard under his chin, and sighed: "There have been nine droughts in the northwest in ten years, and it is rare to have a good year like this year, however, the merchants only know how to chase the immediate interests, and no grain store is willing to stock up on grain. ”

Doudou was puzzled: "What does the master mean that they want to keep the price of grain to the lowest possible level, buy a large amount and then ship it to other places?" ”

Such an idea is not surprising at all, the Great Zhou Dynasty has a vast territory, and the wind and rain in the northwest this year does not mean that other places will also have a good harvest.

Grain merchants buy grain at very low prices and sell it elsewhere, or make wine.

After all, grain will become moldy and spoiled when stacked in the warehouse, and wine will become more fragrant the older it gets.

Master Xuan Zhen said: "In addition to practicing Buddhism in his life, Lao Qu also has a lot of experience in astronomy and geography, and after careful observation in recent months, the celestial phenomena in the northwest this year are almost exactly the same as a hundred years ago. ”

Doudou said: "Master......"

Master Xuanzhen is knowledgeable and knowledgeable, she has heard her father say many times, and it is not strange that she understands astronomy and geography, does he mean that there will be a major disaster here next year?

Master Xuanzhen continued: "A hundred years ago, the Great Zhou Dynasty was just founded, but Emperor Taizu was a rare Ming monarch, in just more than ten years, the Great Zhou Dynasty's treasury was full of people's wealth, but unfortunately that year in the northwest flood and drought, the Tatars took advantage of the weakness to enter, almost weakened the Great Zhou's national strength by half. ”

Doudou bit his lip and said, "Master, what should I do about this?" ”

Master Xuan Zhen shook his head: "Lao Wei has been repeatedly wandering around the state capitals recently, but no one has paid attention to it at all, and then he can only choose to persuade the major grain stores...... It's a pity that people only regard Lao Wei as a person who misleads the public. ”

Doudou looked at the master's gloomy expression and felt very sad.

The world likes to listen to good words, and unless you can come up with tangible evidence that there will be a disaster next year, you will only talk nonsense.

But she knew that a monk like the master would never say anything, and if he didn't have a compassionate heart, why would he bother so much.

Doudou couldn't help but speak: "Master, is there anything that the little girl can help?" ”

Master Xuanzhen said: "If the little donor can find the big proprietor of Mei Ji, there is still something to be done in this matter." ”

Beanie almost jumped up from the ground.

In fact, she just wanted to appease the master before she said it casually, but she didn't expect the old monk to take it seriously.

What are you kidding, she is a foreigner, where to find Mei Ji's big boss.

Master Xuan Zhen said very seriously: "Don't think that the little donor is joking, the big proprietor of Mei Ji is named Mei Ruoxun, and his industry covers the entire western part of the Great Zhou, if he can help, it will be much easier to solve the matter." ”

Doudou is about to cry, old monk, you said it is really "easy".

People with long eyes know that Mei Ji's business is big, but that Mei Ruoxun is a businessman after all, and it is natural to pursue profits, how can he be willing to do such a loss-making business?

Even if he stockpiles a large amount of grain at the current price, it is still a huge amount.

Next year, if the wind and rain are good and there is no disaster, the grain can only be piled up in the warehouse and moldy.

If there is really a disaster next year, will he dare to raise the price of food?

Whether she can find Mei Ruoxun or not, even if she really finds it, it is equivalent to coming to the door to find a scolding! (To be continued.) )
