6. Buddhas and Demons
"I read Amitofu in my mouth, but do you treat people as human beings in my heart?"
"It's about good and evil rewarded, but do you leave a way for others to live?"
"Where are these compassionate monks, these monks are clearly parasites on the local people!"
Crash!
The thick pile of paperwork was thrown to the ground by Zhu Wu.
Yang Xian took the lead in the inventory of acres of land, and the biggest obstacle was not the big landlords, but some temples.
These temples were even richer than the landlords, and countless peasants gave their land to the monasteries in order not to pay taxes, if only these temples really helped these peasants to live a good life.
But what is the life of the hidden population in the temple?
It's serfs! Give them slaves to farm! Moreover, these monks are in charge of the tenants, exploiting and scolding them at will.
In order to be able to farm, some tenants even have to offer their wives and daughters, so that these flower monks can live happily and live a good life!
Zhu Wu's nose is crooked, what is it?
Moreover, Zhu Wu's soldiers also found a large number of account books and IOUs in the temple.
It turned out to be a usury with blood in the seven-out and thirteen-in.
Even if it is borrowing grain, it is a small bucket out of a big bucket, borrowing one to repay three, and the profit is rolling.
If there is a famine everywhere today, such usury, which people can pay it off if they touch it.
Even if a small landlord with more than a dozen acres of land at home touches these monks, he buys his wife, sells his land and livestock, and obediently gives these monks as tenant farmers.
"The chief manager, from Jinling to Danyang, there are 40 temples and 2 temples, more than 2,780 hectares of land, more than 600 hidden households, and homeless people ~~~~~"
"No need to report it!"
Zhu Wu interrupted Yang Xian, "All the property of these temples will be confiscated!" The fields are all used as the tuntian fields of our Dingyuan army. Those monks~~~~ are all returning to the vulgar farmland, and we will be planted in the far army, and don't even think about saving one. ”
"Is the lord going to destroy the Buddha?" Li Shanchang opened his mouth and said, "Think twice! ”
Confucianism!
Zhu Wu is no longer the former Ameng, and he knows what Li Shanchang said.
Destroy the Buddha?
Who can destroy the Buddha? The Buddha is good, persuade people to do good, why should all sentient beings be destroyed?
What should be destroyed is that relying on chanting Buddha, fish and flesh in the world, and the demon with improper mental skills!
But these people are not easy to destroy!
If you move them, you will say that you will destroy the Buddha!
Not to mention this era, it is ~~~~~~~, these demons who chant Buddha are not very big people, wine and meat have passed through the intestines, and beautiful women stay by the pillow. Xiangche BMW, regards money as dung, free and happy.
Who cares? Who dares to move?
Dare to be disrespectful to the Buddha?
But if you don't destroy them, you can't make them feel better.
"What do you want so many temples to do in this troubled world, and you can't see the peace of one party!"
Zhu Wu sneered a few times, "Just leave one or two miracle ones, and the rest of them are indiscriminate, so stay where you can stay cool!" ”
But after all, I was unhappy in my heart, and I thought silently in my heart, sooner or later, one day~~~~
At this time, Lan Yu came in quietly and said in Zhu Wu's ear.
"Fifth brother, the fish has taken the bait!"
Zhu Wu looked left and right, as if he was afraid of being heard, and whispered, "Do as planned." ”
~~~~
A small fleet of boats slowly drove on the water surface of the Qinhuai River.
Although the fleet is small, those who know it know that this fleet cannot be provoked.
Several small pointed boats escorted a large ship in the middle, as if it was a military demeanor. Coupled with the fierce sailors on the bow, you can tell at a glance that it is not easy to mess with.
Look at the flag on the bow of the ship, Shen.
The Shen family in Suzhou, a first-class hero in the south of the Yangtze River, even the Mongolian Daru Huachi has to give them face.
"Don't move, I'll touch this!"
On the big ship, although it is winter, the ship is exceptionally warm, and the precious fur blankets block the windows, and the cabin is like spring.
There are really some spring flowers, and in one of the most luxurious cabins on the ship, there is a lot of purple and red, but it is not a blooming spring flower, but a beautiful woman competing for beauty.
Several women with staggered figures and delicate faces surrounded by a big white fat man, with melons, fruits, wine and vegetables next to them, and there was no need to open his mouth, there was a Qianqianyu hand to deliver the food to the fat man's mouth.
In addition, there are three women with a unique appearance and temperament, sitting at the table, staring directly at the white fat man, to be precise, the cards in his hand.
They're playing mahjong.
Mahjong made of white jade shines brightly on the red sandalwood table.
The white fat man's fingers were thick with radish, holding a piece of mahjong, and his mouth was full of words, "Heavenly Lingling, Earth Lingling, it's okay to touch yourself!" ”
As he spoke, his thick fingers rubbed at the bottom of the card, and then his chubby face instantly became extremely happy, his eyes narrowed into a slit, and the flesh on his face trembled and trembled with the rhythm of his mouth.
"zig! Hoo! ”
Bai Fat arrogantly pushed the cards down, holding the winning card with one hand, "One, two, three, clamp two cylinders, I touched it, young master." As he spoke, he looked at his white and fat hands again, "Young master's hands, they were born for the second cylinder~~~"
"Young Master is so bad!"
The girls in the cabin are trembling, and the spring is even more vibrant.
At this moment, there was a sudden rush of footsteps outside.
A man with a scar on his face did not shy away from opening the curtain and came in, "Young master, there are water bandits?"
The white fat man's eyes that were slit just now immediately turned into mung beans, "Hey, there are really no eyes." Our Shen family's boat dare to move? Come, take Young Master Ben out, and let Young Master Ben see how they died? ”
Rumble!
There was a thunderclap, the big boat suddenly trembled a few times, and the white fat man's body stood unsteadily.
Then, I only heard a scream from the small boat next to me.
Tear off the precious stall that blocked the window and look out.
The boat guarding the big ship turned into a flaming fireball, and the warriors of the Shen family struggled in vain on the water at the moment.
On the river, more than a dozen clippers were cruising arrogantly, and the indifferent eyes on the bow of the boats made people feel chills.
The white fat man said in a trembling voice, "They don't know about the Shen family's ship?" Didn't you say, Jinling is peaceful? “
Don't wait for your subordinates to speak, bang!
There was another loud bang on the other side.
The mast of the big white fat ship crackled into pieces.
The scarfaced man protected the white fat man, "Young master, this is not a general water bandit, it looks more elite than the navy army of the imperial court." It seems that it is coming to us! ”
At this time, there was a voice shouting in a Huaixi accent on the river, "Shen Wansan, you surrender day by day, otherwise you will cut your bird and feed it to the dog!"
Syllable!
This white fat man is none other than Shen Wansan.
Shen Wansan patted the window and sneered, "Cut the young master's bird? What a big breath? Go, tell them ~~~~ I surrender! ”
As he spoke, he looked at the big scar face and said arrogantly, "Tell these bandits, don't mess with me, Lao Tzu has money!" Get in a hurry, stone them to death with silver! ”
~~~~
Anqing.
It's almost the New Year, and the streets are more prosperous.
Zhu Jinwei hung his head and wandered around the street with a few soldiers.
People are not afraid of death, what people are afraid of is waiting, Zhu Wu did not come after waiting for several days, and he did not say how to deal with it, Zhu Jinwei was even more bottomless in his heart.
The more you wait, the more panicked you become.
Although Zhu Wu's intention was to let Guo Xing take care of it, for the sake of the old brother, it did not restrict his freedom. You can go wherever you want, and someone will follow you anyway.
"Brothers, go in and have a drink?"
Zhu Jinwei pointed to a tavern on the side of the road, and several soldiers who followed him were Guo Xing's personal soldiers, smiling politely and shaking his head.
Zhu Jinwei didn't force it, he was drunk today, and stepped in.
"Little Er, serve wine and meat!"
Dama Jindao sat down, and Zhu Jinwei knocked on the table and shouted.
A guest next to him gave him a displeased look, but he immediately moved away.
Although he didn't bring a blade, he told others the armor of the Dingyuan Army, don't mess with me, Lao Tzu has killed people.
The shop quickly brought the food and drinks and served them carefully.
"What?" Zhu Jinwei took a sip and scolded, "Change the wine!" ”
Behind him, a somewhat familiar voice suddenly came, "Borrow wine to drown your sorrows, and you will be even more sorrowful!"
Zhu Jinwei turned around, suddenly a little stunned, and the past came to his mind.
Haozhou, a dilapidated military camp.
Everyone's laughter, a few bones are gnawed by everyone, and a broken bed is covered by everyone.
In the barracks, in addition to them, there were beggars, a Taoist priest, and a monk.
It turned out to be the old man from Haozhou, the little monk who had spent some time in the left military camp.
The old people met each other, and it was very cordial.
Zhu Jinwei said with a smile, "Little monk, you are not in the temple for Amitabha Buddha, what are you doing in Anqing?" ”
Dao Yan took a hat on his head, and slowly walked to Zhu Jinwei's side, his eyes looked a little gray, and he said with a smile, "Little monk, come to spend the demons in the hearts of the old people!" ”
