It took three days for Ma Yun to wake up. --Phoenix-Dance-Literature-Learning-Net--The first thing is to open your eyes and look to the left to see nothing! He looked to the right again, and it was empty. Compared with the glamorous life the night before, after getting drunk last night, nothing happened, and there were no beautiful women to serve and change clothes this morning.

He lay in bed for a while, and after making sure that he would never enjoy yesterday's treatment again, he got up happily.

After washing up, when he was having breakfast, Zhao Pu came over to greet him.

Ma Yun looked behind Zhao Pu and said, "What about Li Jie?" ”

Zhao Pu said with a smile: "Lord Li went to Lord Feng Yansi's house this morning to discuss the princess...... It's time to discuss the prince's wedding ceremony. ”

Ma Yun nodded and asked, "Then when will the negotiation of Chu Tang reconcile be discussed?" ”

Zhao Pu looked at Ma Yun in surprise, and said puzzledly: "Lord Wang, didn't King Tang say yesterday that Chu and Tang have been friends since then, and he also married the princess, isn't this also a sign of reconciliation between Chu and Tang?" ”

Ma Yun was taken aback and said suspiciously: "Isn't this thing going to sign a treaty?" What if Li Tang doesn't talk anymore? ”

"Treaties? The prince is referring to the covenant. Zhao Pu sneered and said, "The marriage between Chu and Tang is obviously the same bed and different dreams. Li Tang is now going east to attack Fujian, for fear that we will fight with them in the back, and I, Da Chu, don't really want to negotiate peace with them, just because the Liu clan in Lingnan is constantly harassing us, and the kings of Guizhou and other places are also afraid that when our army marches south, Li Tang will stumble us from behind. So for now, it's just a matter of taking what you need, and this alliance is only temporary. ”

Zhao Pu looked outside and continued in a low voice: "If I want to mix with the world, then I must first sweep Jiangnan; On the other hand, if Li Tang wants to do this, it will also sweep Jiangnan. So they only talked about alliances, and as for how to form a law, they didn't mention it at all. Humph......"

Ma Yun slowly put down the chopsticks, which was completely different from what he thought. At that time, the king of Chu sent him to Li Tang in the name of fighting, but Chu Tang agreed to marry a daughter-in-law, and he only bought one and got one free. Now it seems that this daughter-in-law is the main negotiation and has become a gift.

Ma Yun hesitated for a moment and said: "But Brother Zhao, now that Liu Renzhan controls the Wuchang area, it is strictly forbidden for grain to enter Jingnan, so the pressure on the Jingnan Jiedu Embassy this winter will be great." --Fengwu Literature Network--Now that it's a peace discussion, let's talk about trade. x577.bsp; Zhao Pu thought for a while and said: "Well, this is true, although yesterday Tang Wang also said about this matter, saying that we will communicate with each other in the future, since this is the case, we still look for an opportunity to sign a paper document to announce the business travel to and from the world." ”

Did you say this yesterday? Ma Yun was stunned, he only remembered that others kept toasting him, as if he had drunk a lot. Li Jing actually said so many things while drinking. China, yes, everything is decided at the wine table.

Ma Yun thought for a while and said, "Did the Tang King say that the merchants of our Chu State came to the Tang Kingdom to do business, how should this tax be collected?" ”

"It's not true, but it's always been a matter of taking it from each other, right?"

Ma Yun shook his head and said: "Taxation is an important factor affecting the enthusiasm of businessmen. This ......" He looked at Zhao Pu's expression, Ma Yun understood that Zhao Pu didn't understand what he meant.

I had to explain: "That is to say, whether the tax is heavy or not has a great impact on whether the businessman is willing to do business." For our Chu State, this impact is even more powerful. ”

The two lakes area of the five dynasties is not as wide and familiar as the Ming and Qing dynasties. At that time, the two lakes area, especially the Hunan region, had not yet been opened on a large scale, and it can be seen from the number of people that the five counties of Yuezhou were so large, and there were only more than 10,000 households in one place, and there were only 60,000 or 70,000 people in one household, and there were fewer people in Langzhou, which was less than that in Yuezhou, but there were more people in Jingzhou, which was twice that of Yuezhou. In a sense, the population also represents the level of local development.

Ma Yun continued: "Our Dachu land is sparsely populated, if we just collect crops, people's field taxes, how can we not be strong. So we have to do something else to raise taxes. ”

Zhao Pu's eyes lit up and said, "Does the prince mean that we Da Chu and Li Tang want to lower the taxes paid by merchants at the same time?" ”

finally thought of the term "most-favored-nation treatment", and Ma Yun said a little proudly: "Although it is not in the middle, it is not far away." What I mean is that we in Da Chu and Da Tang can make it easier for each other's businessmen to lower their taxes. We can call this MFN status, which is beneficial to both of our countries. Brother Zhao, what do you think? ”

"Lord Wang's method is really good, but I don't think Li Tang will agree to it."

Seeing that Ma Yun was a little uncomfortable, Zhao Pu smiled and said: "With my opinion of Li Tang officials, Chen Jue, Cha Wenhui, Feng Yansi and others are deeply valued by Li Jing, and these people will definitely not agree to this proposal." ”

Ma Yun was stunned and said, "Why is this? ”

"Chen Jue is a person who knows people but can't use them; Feng Yansi is jealous of his ability to often sow right and wrong; Cha Wenhui is good at poetry, but it's a pity that he cares too much about these things, but he doesn't distinguish between public and private, and he doesn't distinguish between importance and importance. These people also have one thing in common, that is, they are high-eyed, low-eyed, empty-eyed, ambitious, and talented. ”

"When Li Yu was still alive, there was a fire in the palace of King Wu Yue, of course the savings for many years were gone, King Wu Yue was frightened and crazy, Wu Yue shook up and down, and this is how Li Yu did not send troops to attack, but sent a large amount of property. At that time, Feng Yansi said this to Li Yu: 'Tian She Weng An knows the affairs of the world. It can be seen that Feng Yansi and these people are obsessed with making a great cause. And now that Li Jing has so much trust in them, they think that the time has come. Their appetite is not just a mere Minzhong, in this case, even if this matter is beneficial to Li Tang, but at present, Tang is strong and Chu is weak, do you think they will agree to do such a thing that is beneficial to the Chu State? ”

Jack Ma was silent.

Zhao Pu suddenly approached Ma Yun a little closer, and whispered: "Lord Wang, since they are such vain people, it is much easier for you to return to Dachu." ”

Ma Yunxi said: "Brother Zhao has a clever plan. ”

"Hehe, we didn't know much about Li Tang's officials before, so we thought of all kinds of methods, and now it seems that these few people are going back to Dachu, and it's easy for us to ......."

Today is December 8th, the traditional Chinese festival - Laba Festival.

As far back as the Shang and Zhou dynasties, China had the habit of sacrificing heaven and earth, gods, and ancestors together, and called this kind of comprehensive sacrifice "joint sacrifice". This kind of sacrifice expresses a simple and kind psychological activity of the ancient people, which means that at the end of the year, you can get abundant agricultural food, and you should thank the gods! The day of the sacrifice is chosen on the eighth day of the lunar month, and people cook it in a pot of "Laba porridge" to worship the gods, celebrate the harvest, and wish for a greater harvest in the coming year.

In the Buddhist culture, they preach the Laba Festival in this way, saying that Shakyamuni ate the porridge cooked by the sheep herding girl with apple glutinous rice dumplings on the eighth day of the lunar month, and became a Buddha under the Bodhi tree. Therefore, Laba Festival is also the "Buddha Enlightenment Day". Buddhist temples around the country will bathe the Buddha and hold chanting and follow the legend of Shakyamuni's shepherd girl offering chyle before enlightenment, and cook porridge with fragrant grains and fruits to offer to the Buddha.

Myoin Temple also holds a large-scale celebration ceremony on this day, and the number of people in Jinling is also very large. Ma Yun heard that there was such a place, and explained to the officials of the post station, so he took Li Ergou and a few guards and Zhao Pu to Miaoyin Temple to offer incense.

In fact, Shangxiang is fake, and there are many people in Miaoyin Temple today, and Ma Yun is ready to take the opportunity to come to Jinling Tea House to understand the situation of Chu and the views of Li Tang officialdom on the marriage between Chu and Tang.

In front of Myoninji Temple is an open green meadow, in front of which is the mirror-like Spiegel Lake and the white lotus pond shaped like a crescent moon, surrounded by lush pine needle trees, with winding mountain peaks in the distance, fresh air and beautiful scenery.

At this time, it was almost noon, and there were some people outside the mountain gate who set up stalls, there were those who sold big bowls of tea, those who sold steamed buns, tofu brains, and those who measured words, fortune-tellers, and those who wrote on their behalf, but there were people who sold incense and candles, and some people who had begun to return home, some were patronizing these stalls, and some who came from afar were preparing to go inside. Some people go in, some people go out, some people don't go in or out, making it crowded outside the mountain gate, and it is very lively. Ma Yun and the others got off the horse and squeezed towards the temple along the flow of people.

From a distance, I saw the vermilion mountain gate, and there was a plaque hanging on it, and the gold characters on the blue background were "Qixia". Zhao Pu explained: "The word 'Qixia' is said to have been written by Gaozong Li Zhi. ”

Seeing that Zhao Pu was enthusiastic about being a tour guide again, Ma Yun couldn't help but be critical: "Didn't you say that it was Miaoyin Temple?" How do you write the word Qixia? ”

"Childe doesn't know, this temple was originally built in the Southern Dynasty, it was originally called Qixia Jingshe, and it was renamed Merit Temple in the Tang Dynasty, and it is estimated that it was recently changed to the ...... of Miaoin Temple."

Seeing Zhao Pu talking eloquently, Ma Yun can't wait to give himself a mouth, this Zhao Pu is also something that is not easy to learn, what is this thing so clear to remember. Ma Yun faintly remembered that last night, this Zhao Pu also didn't do any poetry......

Entering the mountain gate is the Maitreya Buddha Hall. There were fewer people here, and there were not many loud noises, all of them with a pious face. In the hall, the Maitreya Buddha with a bare chest and breasts and a smile on his face is enshrined behind the King of Wei Tuo.

Ma Yun looked at the smiling Maitreya Buddha with interest while chatting with Zhao Pu.

Suddenly, someone shouted: "Lord be careful." Then Ma Yun saw a bright big knife in front of him.
