Chapter 3: Ye Guanzhu's first incense money

After being busy for a long time, Ye Linwang looked at the fine salt in the pot, because the purification effect of linen cloth was slightly worse, the fine salt produced was still a little yellow, although such fine salt was not as pure as that of later generations, it was no problem to eat it for a long time, and it was much simpler next.

Brush the pan, chop the green onions, add oil, scramble the eggs, and soon a plate of scrambled eggs will be placed on the table. Ye Lin picked up the dishes and chopsticks and was about to start eating, but three figures broke into the Taoist temple, two men and one woman, the woman wore a veil, Ye Lin couldn't see clearly, but in terms of figure, she was not very old, she should be a beauty.

The three of them approached a middle-aged man and took the lead in speaking: "Dao Chief, we are a business traveler who has come to the green bamboo forest, passing by Guiguan, can you let us go in and rest?"

After speaking, Yu Shinan looked up at Ye Lin, and seeing that Ye Lin was silent, he took out two copper coins and put them in Ye Lin's hand.

Ye Lin was stunned, this is a door-to-door business, and he is worried that someone will come to deliver the money if he can't open the pot.

"Ahem, I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't tolerate a few people if I look down on the simplicity" Saying that, Ye Lin looked up at the brocade clothes of the two people behind him, and sent the two copper coins back. Although Ye Lin is short of money, he is not stupid, this is an obvious fat sheep, and it would be too much of a loss to put two copper coins in.

Yu Shinan's heart is indeed very simple, but it is not easy to say clearly, the emperor and the eldest grandson queen have been walking in the bamboo forest for a long time, and they happened to come across a place where they can rest, even if they don't stop, they have to consider the emperor and the eldest grandson.

"Dao Chief, the three of us are really tired, go in and drink saliva and leave" As he spoke, Yu Shinan took out a finger-sized piece of broken silver and sent it to Ye Lin.

Ye Lin took it, blinking, in the early Tang Dynasty, if these silver were exchanged for copper coins, there were at least nearly a hundred, and he guessed correctly that it was indeed a fat sheep!

Ye Lin let go of his body and said with a smile: "Those few come in, Qingyun Temple is now only one Taoist priest, my name: Ye Lin, I am also the master of Qingyun Temple, the view is dilapidated and narrow, except for the mountain spring water, there is nothing to entertain a few guests, don't dislike it"

Yu Shinan took a breath, and exchanged the broken silver for a few mouthfuls of cold water, although Yu Shinan knew that there were really no good things in this small Taoist temple in a remote place, but he still felt panicked in his heart.

Yu Shinan looked up and said: "The contemptible surname is Yu, this surname is Li, and the one next to him is his wife" Yu Shinan said, arched his hand and led the three of them in.

Ye Lin found a few old futons, patted the ash on them, and handed them over, the three of them sat down and looked at Ye Lin's Qingyun Temple, Ye Lin handed over a bowl of water, Yu Shinan took it and drank it, and then handed it to Li Shimin behind him, Li Shimin put it aside and didn't drink it.

Ye Lin ignored the three of them, turned around and sat down at the bamboo table to start his lunch.

Seeing Ye Lin's fragrant food, Li Shimin frowned and patted Yu Shinan on the shoulder, he and his eldest grandson only ate a few tea cakes in Yuan Tiangang's Taoist temple, and now they are already hungry.

Yu Shinan turned his head and followed Li Shimin's gaze, and instantly understood what Li Er meant, so he stepped forward again and said, "I'm bothering Dao Chang, I see that this dish is novel and fragrant, I don't know what kind of dish I eat?" ”

"Scrambled eggs!"

"I don't know if I can give it a taste," Yu Shinan said.

Ye Lin handed over a pair of chopsticks, Yu Shinan took a piece on the other side of the plate and tasted it, his eyes lit up and said: "It's crispy and delicious, but it's so delicious, why have I never heard of it!" ”

"This is what my master taught me before, and I don't know why you haven't heard of it," Ye Lin looked up and said. Scrambled eggs have been recorded in the Tang Dynasty, but they have not yet become popular, and it is normal not to hear of them.

Yu Shinan said again: "I don't know if I can make a portion, the three of us are also very hungry" said and took out another grain of broken silver, but this one was a little bigger.

Ye Lin suddenly smiled, took the silver, ate the rice in the bowl in a few bites, and walked into the firewood room. When Li Shimin saw Ye Lin leaving, he glanced at Yu Shinan and said softly: "Go and see", Yu Shinan understood and immediately followed Ye Lin's footsteps.

After the two walked away, the eldest grandson smiled and said: "The concubine just saw that Master Yu gave this little Taoist a total of three silver coins, and the incense in this view is also full of dust, although this little Taoist priest looks a little dusty, but he is a greedy person, and he is tired by nature, Your Majesty, why don't we rest for a while and leave, this small view of the countryside really can't be compared with the famous view in Chang'an City." ”

Li Shimin nodded, still looking at this small Taoist temple, the main hall is not large, dusty, even the enshrined Sanqing statue is a little faded, and it is true to see that this Taoist temple is broken.

In the firewood room, Yu Shinan looked at the fine salt in Ye Lin's hand and exclaimed, "Refined salt!" You've got refined salt here."

Ye Lin thought about it and immediately said: "This is not long ago my master told the fortune of the pilgrims, the pilgrims gave it, there is not much left, I see that you give a lot of money before I am willing to let it go, don't make a fuss"

Yu Shinan quieted down when he heard this, and soon another plate of scrambled eggs was served on the table, Li Shimin and his eldest grandson ate it, and sure enough, as Yu Shinan said, it was crispy and delicious.

After eating a few bites, Li Er frowned and said, "The dish is delicious, but it's a pity that there is no good wine."

"Dao Chief, I don't know if you have any wine, it's a pity that it's so delicious and there is no wine" Yu Shinan immediately asked Ye Lin.

"There's wine, it's still good wine. But ......"

"Dao Chief, price is not a problem!" Yu Shinan said immediately.

Ye Lin shook his head and said, "I don't need money, but there are still a few jars left, and you must take them all."

A few people were shocked, they all saw that this little Taoist priest was greedy for money, if it was good wine, this little Taoist priest definitely had no reason to give it away in vain.

Ye Lin got up and found out the wine that Ye Lao Dao had hidden, Ye Lin didn't touch the wine, this wine would only be wasted if it was left in Qingyun Temple, and it was inappropriate to sell Ye Lin, the three of them could come to Qingyun Temple is fate, and this wine should be given to people who are destined.

Open the wine altar, there are bursts of wine in the view, Yu Shinan is addicted to alcohol, Li Shimin is also an old drunkard, as soon as the wine is opened, the two of them were immediately led by the aroma of wine, and the eldest grandson didn't say much when he saw the appearance of the two.

Soon after three rounds of drinking, it was getting late, Li Shimin thought about the Song Folding Mountain waiting for him in the palace, and his face gradually became a lot uglier.

Seeing this, Ye Lin asked, "Is there anything unhappy about Master Li?" ”

"Ye Daochang doesn't know, our family has been doing business all year round, and the recent floods in Heluo have had a serious impact on the family business.

Ye Lin thought about it, there were indeed frequent floods during the Wude period, and it is recorded that the people around Heluo were affected, and the victims were everywhere and starved all over the wilderness. Fortunately, Li Shimin spent a lot of effort on the problem of controlling the flood, building water conservancy, rescuing the victims, establishing a righteous warehouse, and then amnesty to the world, and this small flood was quickly solved under Li Shijie's governance.

Ye Lin opened his mouth and said: "Master Li Shi, don't worry, I heard that the Holy Lord is working flood control today, and this small flood disaster can be solved soon."

Li Shimin sighed and said: "The Taoist chief said that it is so easy to solve, throughout the dynasties, the flood in Heluo is a sharp blade hanging over the heads of the people, even if the Holy Heart is concerned, it may be quite difficult."

"No, it's just a small flood, I don't think it's a big deal!"

"Haha! It's not a big deal, but the Taoist chief has a way to solve this flood" This Taoist priest really doesn't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, and the floods are all trivial, it is really arrogant and boundless, and Ye Lin's image in Li Shimin's heart is extremely bad, and even the eldest grandson and Yu Shinan next to him shook their heads, this Taoist priest is not very old, not only greedy for money, lazy, but also arrogant and ignorant.

Ye Lin didn't notice the abnormality of everyone's expressions. He continued to speak: "I still have some understanding of flood control, and the most important thing in this kind of matter is, of course, disaster relief, and it is best for the government to set up relevant departments to be responsible for disaster relief and help the people."

Disaster relief should be carried out in several aspects: First, it is necessary to organize the release of grain and set up special porridge points in the disaster areas to fill the stomachs of the victims so that there will be no chaos. Second, control should be strengthened, and no one should be allowed to organize the victims of the disaster to take advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos. Third, we called on officials and wealthy businessmen to donate money and materials to relieve the pressure on the government. Fourth, the disease treatment, the disaster area is very chaotic, there will still be a lot of death, burn the corpses, control the gathering of people, and prevent the occurrence of plague. Fifth, the propaganda will let the people in the disaster area know that the government attaches great importance to them and how many supplies are coming down every day, so that the disaster victims will feel at ease, and when the people are stable, there will be no accidents.

The next step is the reconstruction of the flooded areas, and the government had better exempt the disaster areas for a few years, dredge the rivers, build water conservancy, and set up spare granaries to prevent floods. Li Shizhu? What happened to you? Why do you look at me like that? ”

The three of them stared at Ye Lin incredulously, Li Shimin sighed, and took the lead in speaking: "Dao is a great talent!" Every point said is of great help to the control of the flood, but it is a pity that the government has not even done half of what the Taoist chief said."

Ye Lin waved his hand and said: "It's just to deal with the flood, not to talk about talent."

The eldest grandson on the side came back to his senses and said, "The Taoist chief said that there are still many details to be said?"

"Madam, it's not that I don't say it, it's really very troublesome to talk about the details, I'm afraid I won't be able to finish it at night" Ye Lin didn't want to say anything more to them, they didn't understand the mess, and they had to work hard to explain it to them, anyway, what about Li Er, Li Er is so wise and powerful, it will be solved sooner or later.

"If the Taoist chief doesn't want to say it, it's okay to write it down," the eldest grandson added.

Ye Lin didn't bother to say anything, let alone write, so Ye Lin refused again: "Mrs. Li, those things are really troublesome. What's more, the government still has to deal with such a thing as a flood, and it's useless for me to say it alone."

"The Taoist chief just writes, let's just take a look" The eldest grandson said and took out a few pieces of broken silver and sent them to Ye Lin, Ye Lin paused, thought about the Taoist temple that was about to be uncovered, and looked at the silver handed over by the eldest grandson, Ye Lin took it with a dry cough and asked, "Is there any pen and paper?" ”

Li Er turned his head to look at Yu Shinan, and Yu Shinan on the side immediately said, "Yes, I'll go get it!" ”
