Now the world is not good, and it is not easy to do even business. There was a war disaster in the north, and my family's several orders of business were originally negotiated, but now they are all yellow. Hey, I don't know when this kind of day will be the end. ”

Fang Yingxu complained there, but Wang Henian felt that he could take the opportunity to listen to the news.

It's rare that this Fang Gongzi is a believer.

If he didn't seize the opportunity, wouldn't he be too sorry for God's arrangement.

"Ahem, the little monk has something unclear. The little monk heard a lot of noise outside this morning, and it seemed that someone was shouting something to catch the strong man. I don't know what's going on. ”

Fang Yingxu looked embarrassed and explained: "Master Huikong doesn't know, this is an order from the prefect, and there is the instruction of the governor behind it. ”

Because in his own home, Fang Yingxu didn't have to deliberately avoid anything.

He cleared his throat and said: "It's not because of the loss of Wuchang, the Governor was severely reprimanded by the court and the emperor, and the Governor must have something to say." ”

"So you want to recruit new recruits to fight?"

Wang Henian pretended to be compassionate: "Good, good." God has the virtue of a good life, and the little monk really can't understand why there are so many wars in this world. What is the purpose of this strife? ”

Fang Yingxu sighed and said, "The mage is a member of Buddhism, so naturally he doesn't understand the mystery of this. The benefits of war are immeasurable. From the Son of Heaven to ordinary soldiers, they can all profit from it. Needless to say, the Son of Heaven has gained the country. In the past, Emperor Zhu sat in the world, and now it is the Aixin Jueluo family. Isn't that a big change? The ministers of the auxiliary ministers below, why would I rather finish my Fan Wencheng, not a very human minister? Besides, Hong Chengchou, that is the strategy of the five provinces, didn't he profit from the war? ”

After a pause, Fang Yingxu continued: "The world is bustling, and it is all for profit." Speaking of which, there is no essential difference between these princes and generals and us merchants. It's just that we want profit, and they want power. ”

Wang Henian couldn't imagine that Fang Yingxu could see the problem so thoroughly at a young age, and folded his hands and said, "I see." ”

"Then again, I do think Governor Hu's move was unwise. As the saying goes, raising soldiers for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, soldiers are trained. What if there are just a few recruits? Ten recruits are not worth a veteran. Veterans know what to do on the battlefield and are always in the right place. What about recruits? It's completely headless like a fly scurrying around. ”

Fang Yingxu smiled bitterly: "Governor Hu is said to have recruited these recruits to exterminate the Ming army, isn't this nonsense. ”

Wang Henian said in his heart, does this Hu Quancai still have a back hand?

What's the difference between sending recruits to fight like that and sending them to their deaths?

He followed Fang Yingxu's words and said, "Anyway, these are human lives, good and good." ”

Fang Yingxu nodded and said, "This contemptible person naturally understands. Contemptible people also believe in Buddhism, and know that the most taboo thing in Buddhism is killing. But war does not avoid casualties, and thousands of people die in one death. ”

"If everyone in the world could let go of their attachments and become Buddhas, there would not be so many wars in the world."

"Yes!"

Fang Yingxu nodded and said, "It's just that these powerful people are all stinky and hard stones in the pit, and they won't change easily." It's hard to achieve what Master Huikong wants. ”

"Don't talk about these worries. Master Huikong, please have a meal. ”

Unconsciously, the subordinates of the Chinese government had already brought up the rice, and Wang Henian glanced at it and saw that it was all vegetarian dishes.

"Does Master Fang also eat vegetarian food on weekdays?"

Fang Yingxu nodded and said, "Vegetarian food can cultivate the mind, and I eat vegetarian food on weekdays." ”

Wang Henian was secretly surprised in his heart. It seems that I will have to have a good relationship with this Fang Yingxu in the future.

All dynasties and dynasties were colluded between officials and businessmen.

Whether they want to or not, if they want to gain a foothold and become the head, they must curry favor with local officials, and only then will they receive special treatment.

A businessman of the Fang family's level must have a hot fight with the local officials.

Wang Henian heard more news from Fang Yingxu than from other places.

"Master Fang, there is a sentence that the little monk doesn't know whether to say or not."

It has always been Fang Yingxu who is talking, and Wang Henian is listening.

This time it was Wang Henian's turn to take the initiative to ask, but Fang Yingxu was stunned.

"Master Huikong, please speak."

"I wonder what the prefect and the governor think of Buddhism?"

"Well..."

Fang Yingxu said with an embarrassed expression: "The two adults don't believe in Buddhism very much, but they don't suppress Buddhism either. ”

Wang Henian showed a disappointed expression: "The little monk also thought that he would have the opportunity to discuss Buddhism with the two adults. ”

"Even if it doesn't have a chance. But if Master Huikong is willing, can he arrange for you to give a lecture in the city? ”

"Then you don't have to."

Wang Henian hurriedly refused.

His half-baked level, wouldn't it kill him if he really wanted to preach the scriptures?

He originally wanted to hear the news directly from Hu Quancai and Gao Tianjue, but now he can only pretend to be Fang Yingxu's hand.

The two chatted while eating, and Wang Henian could still cope with it at first.

But as he chatted, he felt a little tired.

After lunch, Wang took the initiative to say goodbye.

Fang Yingxu chatted very happily, although he was a little unsatisfied, but he also agreed to Wang Henian leaving.

Monks must like to be pure.

Master Huikong must be annoyed to hear him say it here for so long, right?

However, it was said that after Wang Henian said goodbye and left Fangfu, he was about to walk back on the street when he saw a group of Qing soldiers grabbing a child.

The child cried out for help, crying profusely.

Wang Henian couldn't help but feel compassion and wanted to step forward.

At this moment, one of the Qing soldiers led by him shouted loudly: "Capture one deserter, and behead him according to military law!" Immediate execution! ”

With that, the two soldiers crushed the boy to the ground.

Another Qing soldier raised his waist knife high and slashed downward.

In an instant, the human head hit the ground, and blood shot out.

Wang Henian was splashed more than a dozen steps away.

Wang Henian was stunned.

It's still a child!

It can be seen that this child should be a strong man who has just been captured, and then took the opportunity to sneak out and escape.

I never thought that these Qing soldiers would chase after them, and after chasing them, they directly killed this child without asking questions!

The crime is desertion, but this child is obviously a strong man who was captured!

A half-sized son can be regarded as a strong man!

Wang Henian only felt a breath in his chest, very uncomfortable.

He clenched his fists so tightly that he could barely control himself.

Is human life so lowly in the eyes of the Qing army?

A fresh life disappeared in front of him, and the impact on Wang Henian was too great!

Maybe there are countless ordinary people like this kid who died tragically under the Qing saber, right?

This made Wang Henian even more determined to go on! Only by completely recovering the lost territory can the people be saved from fire and water!
