What about the two diseases in the back? Ma Qiang continued to ask.

"Asking for money, it's a sacrifice, I wonder if the camp owner has heard of Liu Zhang, the king of Chengyang?"

Ma Qiang shook his head blankly.

There are so many princes of the Liu family, how do you know, and you don't study history.

Duan Ying explained, "This Chengyang King Liu Zhang is the grandson of Taizu, the second son of Liu Fei, the king of Qi Mourning, who is young and heroic, and quite popular.

In the past, Zhulu was chaotic, no one dared to control it, the king of Chengyang was still the Marquis of Zhu Xu, married the daughter of Lu Lu, and after the death of Empress Lu, he secretary his brother Liu Xiang, the king of Qi, raised an army against Lu.

But these two brothers were too immature, and after raising the army, they were persuaded by infants that Zhu Lu had not officially rebelled, and now the army was a rebellion, so they withdrew, and Zhu Lu also saw that they were withdrawing and did not pursue the two.

And the next story, Ming Gong should have heard of it, Chen Ping and Zhou Bo teamed up to capture the northern army first, and then let Liu Zhang lead a thousand people to attack and kill Lu Chan, who was still in charge of the southern army, Lu Chan did not dare to fight, and was killed by Liu Zhang in the toilet of Lang Zhongling's mansion.

After Zhu Lu was exterminated, he once intended to recommend his brother King Qi as the emperor, but the ministers promoted Emperor Wen, the fourth son of Taizu.

After Emperor Wen ascended the throne, Liu Xiang, the king of Qi, soon died, and then in the third year, the king of Chengyang also died of illness. ”

Gan Shi nodded and continued, "That's right, among them, the king of Chengyang has the most prosperous incense because of his meritorious service, and in the entire Qingzhou, there are no less than 3,000 temples in Chengyang Jingwang, and there are no less than 500 in the plain country!" ”

"Five hundred?" Ma Qiang couldn't help but be dumbfounded when he heard this.

Later, Second Brother Guan didn't seem to be so exaggerated.

Gan Shien sighed, and said with some anger in his eyes, "If it's just a lot of ancestral halls, it's just that, but I don't know when it started, who advocated it, these ancestral halls of Zhu Wu began to say that King Jingwang of Chengyang was appointed by the ghost emperor of the five directions to govern Qingzhou, if you want Qingzhou to have smooth weather and the people are healthy, you must sacrifice from time to time."

These wishing witches and merchants peddle all kinds of spiritual utensils, and the cheapest is three dollars a piece of incense, but if you want to buy such incense, you will only be ridiculed.

According to them, with three coins and a piece of incense, there must be no king of Chengyang in his heart, what is the difference between him and those outsiders.

Ordinary people have to buy at least nine yuan of incense, small households also have ninety-nine yuan of incense, if it is a townsman, you have to buy three hundred and nine dollars of top incense, and say that three hundred yuan is the cost of a meal, if you are not even willing to give a meal to the king of Chengyang, don't stay in the plain anymore, the plain country can't afford to lose this person.

And further up, there are thousands of dollars of dead weapons and horses, and thousands of dollars of dead houses.

In the words of those blessings, if it weren't for all the people of the Plains to do their part, and use the power of wishes and incense to tell the King of Chengyang the wishes of everyone's hearts, how would the King of Chengyang know and bless the Plains.

Therefore, if the plains are good and the people have a good harvest, they will say that the king of Chengyang blesses everyone, and if the people do not harvest, they will say that there are people who are not sincere, and then hang out those who spend money that do not meet their expectations in their hearts, and let everyone blame him.

The people of the plain, and even the entire Qingzhou, dare not speak out about this, and even the Daxing of Qingzhou Taiping Road is also related to this, and the people themselves can't fight with the king of Chengyang who has become a ghost, so let the great sage and the good teacher and Huang Tian go to fight with the king of Chengyang, this is the ghost of asking for money! ”

Ma Qiang was dumbfounded.

What the hell is this?

Is it so shameless to suck the blood of the people? In this way, it is understandable why there are more scholars in Beihai, and Confucianism naturally cannot accommodate such gods and ghosts, and the people there have much less burden, and they have money to study.

Three hundred dollars is the price of a meal, ahh When the Han Dynasty is rich, and he still doesn't give money to expel the county, this operation, do you Chengyang Wangmiao want to unite and establish a country.

"Go on, Jetoda!"

Ma Qiang asked, rubbing his brows.

"The plain is the plain field, the plain is vast, and there are big rivers to rely on, and the people are prosperous, but after perennial cultivation, the soil fertility declines, and there is less water conservancy, so that the brine fields are increasing day by day, and the grain yield per mu is decreasing day by day.

But instead of decreasing the taxes and rents of the people, the more they planted, the poorer they became, and the poorer they did if they didn't farm!

Therefore, the field becomes a no-no-one, and the more you plant, the greater the chance that your family will be out of order, after all, a family without money will not be able to marry a wife. ”

Two words immediately appeared in Ma Qiang's mind: "involution".

There was a milk pour that I had seen in the history books before.

This thing of getting poorer and poorer actually appeared in the Han Dynasty, which is very powerful.

The three diseases of the plains are really not easy to solve.

"Strategist, Dao Chief, you look at the three diseases, where should I start?"

Ma Qiang threw the question out.

"Start with the money ghost!" Gan Shiqi's beard was shaking, this was the first time Ma Qiang had seen him so angry.

"These things that are not suitable for the son of man actually ruin the reputation of our Taoists so much, Taoists ask for incense just to calm their nerves and condense their qi when they recite the scriptures, what does it have to do with ghosts and gods? The real ghosts and gods are all absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon, the aura of heaven and earth, what do you want your incense to do?

There are also those spiritual weapons, they are all deceptive things pasted with bamboo paper cloth, if this thing can communicate with ghosts and gods, wouldn't it be cultivated to the stomach of ghosts after so many years of cultivation in the poor Dao! ”

The more he talked, the more angry Gan Shi became.

As the so-called heresy is more hateful than paganism, Gan Shi has never been so disgusted with Futu.

What's more, Pingyuan is actually half of his hometown, he is a native of Ganling, not far from Pingyuan County, but he was in Luoyang when he was young, and he didn't expect that the Taoist near his hometown would become such a ghost.

Duan Ying shook his head and said, "Duke Ming, this Chengyang Wang Temple has been in Qingzhou for hundreds of years, although the people have suffered greatly, but I am afraid that there are many people who believe in it.

On the contrary, it is this Taishan thief, since most of the Taishan thieves are yellow turban remnants, and there is Zhang Ning available in the hands of Ming Gong, why not use it at the same time? At the same time, according to the investigation of who is behind these terrible ghosts, and then sweep away all the uglies with a great victory! ”

Duan Ying and Gan Shi didn't say anything about the desperate land, because they both knew that if they wanted to restore the saline-alkali land, it was not something that could be done in a short time, and they could only be put in the end.

Ma Qiang listened to the suggestions of the two, and he couldn't make a decision at once, so he said, "Then I'll measure it for one night, the military advisor and the Taoist chief have worked hard, let's go down and rest first, and we'll discuss it tomorrow!" ”

After hearing this, the two said goodbye and left, while Ma Qiang continued to think about the three diseases of the plain in the room, how to rectify them.
