The enchanting mid-spring season, more and more generously spreads the aromatic scent, bringing joy and happiness to life.

The beauties who went to Ganzhou sat in the car and passed through the sensation and scene of Chang'an swaggering through the city, although it is still being talked about by some people, but more than two months have passed.

A lot has happened in two months. As a result, many people have forgotten that Xu Qilin, who was only thirteen years old, went to Ganzhou.

His Majesty Li Er's will to summon Ju Wentai, the king of Gaochang, was rejected by Ju Wentai's illness.

He found a new ancestor for His Majesty Li Er, the noble breed of Yinshan Dashi Daolin monk, and recited the emperor's name day and night in prison, which was really more effective than reciting the Buddha and the Bodhisattva, and the death penalty was spared and assigned to Lingnan.

But this is not the end, His Majesty Li Er issued a holy decree and began to rectify the Shamen.

The main measures are to survey all monasteries and their monks, nuns, slaves and maids, and property; Monks who have not been legally ordained and who have violated the precepts of Buddhism must return to the laity and have their property confiscated; It is forbidden to shave without permission, and to limit the number of slaves and maids that monks can keep......

At the same time, His Majesty Li Er saluted Zen Buddhism and sent Li Tai, the king of Wei, to worship at the Shaolin Temple in Songshan, and said to Zen Buddhism "only hanging clothes, not personal wealth; Work hard to be self-sufficient, do not do a day without eating", and the inscription was erected.

Clear-eyed people can see that His Majesty Li Er is suppressing a faction and co-opting a faction, except for Zen Buddhism, other Buddhist sects are afraid that they will be unlucky.

Sure enough, after more than a month of preparation, a large-scale operation began.

There was no murder, but a large number of monks were forcibly returned to the laity, and the slaves and maids they kept were also listed as "city registers" and sent to Hexi, thinking that they were tax-paying people.

A large amount of the monasteries' land and money were confiscated, and the land was distributed to the landless people, and the money was used to build welfare institutions such as the Salesian Home.

The movement, which began in Guanzhong, was fairly gentle and orderly, and did not treat the real monks too harshly; However, after it gradually spread to the localities, some magistrates used it as an opportunity to gain political achievements and win the favor of His Majesty.

Radical behavior is unavoidable, but it is not enough to destroy the temple and kill the monks. His Majesty Li Er also kept silent about this, and only ordered that all localities should maintain social order and not provoke changes.

In fact, His Majesty Li Er's worries were somewhat unnecessary. Although this place was excessive, the stability did not suffer much.

On the contrary, when the information on the number of temples and monks and nuns in various places was compiled and presented to His Majesty Li Er, he immediately felt that this rectification was timely.

There are more than 4,000 temples and 40,000 Lanruo, covering an area of tens of millions of acres; There are more than 200,000 monks and nuns, 160,000 slaves and maids, and more than 100,000 tenants attached to the temple.

This is not all the numbers, and it has already made His Majesty Li Er feel the need to rectify. Just slaves and tenants are more than 200,000 tax evaders, and the loss of the state's finances can be imagined.

Without much consideration, His Majesty Li Er approved the sending of slaves and lay monks to Hexi, and the temple and land cultivated by the tenants were nationalized and then distributed by the state to the tenants.

Obviously, His Majesty Li Er's policies and methods are flexible, suppressing the Buddha but not abolishing the Buddha. The social impact caused by this is small, and it is more conducive to social stability and the rule of the imperial court.

But as long as the emperor showed this attitude, if Shamen wanted to expand, he had to weigh it; The magistrates didn't dare to indulge, and even the important minister Xiao Yu was reprimanded and warned for protecting the Buddha, how dare others!

Before and after, almost 2.67 million people were sent to Ganzhou, right?

His Majesty Li Er calculated it, took Xu Qilin's recital and looked at it, pursed the corners of his mouth and smiled, this kid should be satisfied, right?

After handling official business, His Majesty Li Er drank a cup of tea before getting up and walking out to Bingxia Palace.

Today is the day when Xiao Zhao enters the palace and studies with his son. His Majesty Li Er, a favorite female madman, may not be comfortable if she can't see her son for a day.

Coming to the outside of the Bingxia Palace, His Majesty Li Er saw a small figure exercising on the grass from a distance. Well, he thinks it's exercise.

When I got a little closer, I saw that it was Sun Busan, a girl, who was wielding a nunchuck, playing whirring and looking.

During the fireworks show, His Majesty Li Er had seen this strange thing, and thought it was just for good looks. But looking at Sun Busan's jumping and tiger appearance, he felt that it was not what he thought.

Sun Busan's body has grown quite strong, and his face is full of skin. This dress is also in the style of Lisuo, which is suitable for martial arts.

Playing sexually, Sun Busanyi smashed the branch with a stick, and then he smiled and put away the stick.

His Majesty Li Er blinked his eyes, and was a little surprised by this girl's stick skills and strength.

Sun Busan pinned his back with a stick and turned around to leave, but he saw His Majesty Li Er and a few palace people walking slowly, and hurriedly bowed down to salute.

"Sun Busan, come and talk." His Majesty Li Er smiled and beckoned.

Sun Busan walked over with some hesitation and timidity, and saluted again.

"No need to be polite, get up!" His Majesty Li Er has seen Sun Busan twice, both of whom accompanied Xiao Zhao into the palace, and when he saw the little girl's timid appearance, he smiled and said: "Don't be afraid, I like the little girl the most, just like Xiao Zhao." ”

Sun Busan smiled reluctantly, bowed and stood solemnly, but did not speak.

"How long have you been practicing this stick technique?" His Majesty Li Er asked, "Take it to me." ”

Sun Busan hurriedly took out the stick from his back waist, presented it with both hands, and said, "Back to Your Majesty, Meng Alang taught that the grass people have been practicing nunchucks for several months. ”

His Majesty Li Er fiddled twice, made of hardwood, connected by iron chains, this weight is also suitable for the little girl. It's going to be picked, and it's really choking.

"This is martial arts?" His Majesty Li Er asked with some confusion: "Or did Qi Lin pass you on?" ”

Sun Busan thought for a while and said, "Ah Lang said that this is quite powerful and can defend himself. ”

His Majesty Li Er nodded, returned the stick to Sun Busan, and said with a smile: "It's very good-looking, it's even better if you can defend yourself." Well, take good care of your little lady! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, the grass people remember." Although Sun Busan is still timid, he can speak normally, which is quite remarkable for a civilian girl.

His Majesty Li Er smiled, turned around and continued to walk towards the main hall.

Before he reached the gate of the temple, he heard giggling laughter, and Xiao Zhao and his son got out of class, and one of them ran out to play with a racket in his hand.

"Father—"

"Your Majesty—"

Facing the two little girls, His Majesty Li Er smiled so much that his eyes narrowed, touched Xiao Zhao's head, and stroked his daughter's face.

"Go ahead, have fun, stay safe." His Majesty Li Er spoke, and stood in place, watching the two little girls play badminton in the garden.

Xu Hui heard the voice, walked out of the hall, bent down to salute, and called His Majesty.

"Excuse me, excuse me." His Majesty Li Er raised his hand and said, "How are the sons and Xiao Zhao's homework?" ”

"Her Royal Highness the Princess's flying white body is becoming more and more sophisticated, and it is almost comparable to Your Majesty." Xu Hui praised with a smile: "Over time, put together, the concubines are afraid that it will be difficult to distinguish." ”

His Majesty Li Er smiled, looking proud.

"Xiao Zhao, I think it's the calligraphy taught by Qi Lin, the time is still short, and you still have to practice hard." Xu Hui belittled the girl a little, but it wasn't very much.

His Majesty Li Er nodded and said, "Qi Lin is studying under Lu Yu Immortal, that word requires strong muscles and bones, Xiao Zhao is young, and his wrist strength is insufficient, so there is no need to rush for a while." ”

"The concubine was not harsh." Xu Hui said: "The princess and Xiao Zhao are very attentive, and the concubine thinks it is enough." ”

Well, His Majesty Li Er's jaw is headed, and he doesn't have the luxury of making his beloved daughter a talented woman, and it is best to be happy and healthy.

After watching it for a while, His Majesty Li Er walked into the hall, and the palace people had already served tea, and Xu Hui brought the two girls' notebooks to ask him to comment.

His Majesty Li Er looked at Xiao Zhao first, nodded and praised a few words. Those who have seen their son's son are even more pleased.

"Qi Lin came with a letter, saying that he had sent some local products from Ganzhou, and they would be delivered soon." Xu Hui said: "I have settled down in Ganzhou, everything is fine, so the concubines don't have to worry." ”

His Majesty Li Er smiled and said, "Qi Lin is very attentive to his work, and he rushed to Ganzhou in advance with the garrison, and finally finished planting cotton. Now, we are organizing laborers to build houses and prepare to resettle the migrants. ”

"The concubine listened to what Qi Lin said in his letter, Ganzhou is not so bitter and cold, but it is sparsely populated and a little deserted." Xu Hui was obviously not so worried, and the smile on her face showed her state of mind.

His Majesty Li Er smiled and said, "You were also hearsay before, thinking that only the Central Plains was good. Qi Lin is good, he can see the foundation of prosperity in a deserted place. Well, after the conquest of Gaochang, Ganzhou can usher in a development opportunity, and now it is just laying the foundation. ”

"Another war?" Xu Hui smiled and said, "For Gao Chang, the son-in-law knows more than the concubine, and he thinks about the raisins there!" ”

Hahaha, His Majesty Li Er couldn't help laughing and said: "It's not all provoked by Qi Lin, when the sand table was deduced last year, he told his son to snatch all the raisins from Gaochang." ”

Xu Hui smiled on his face, and when he saw that His Majesty was happy, he was happy in his heart.

……………

Zhangye, also known as Ganzhou. During the Western Han Dynasty, the hussar general Huo Qubing marched into Hexi, defeated the Xiongnu, and then took the meaning of "Zhangguo's arm to pass through the Western Regions" and placed Zhangye County.

During the period of the two Jin and Northern Dynasties, Fuqu Mengxun established the Northern Liang Kingdom in Zhangye, and due to his governance, Zhangye culture showed an unprecedented prosperity and became the center of Chinese Buddhism in the north.

At the same time, Zhangye gradually became an intermediary between Chinese mainland and the Western Regions.

Snow mountains, grasslands, clear waters, and deserts are all available in Zhangye, which is really a unique desert oasis. It is even more amazing to be able to appreciate the charm of the southern country and see the style of the plug.

The sky is high and cool, the air is clean, the environment is beautiful, the landscape is rich, the winter is not cold, and the summer is cool, which is better than the environment of Chang'an.

But in such a good place, the economic development is lagging behind, mainly because the imperial court has not shifted the development focus of Hexi and Longyou to Zhangye.

The biggest problem restricting the development of Zhangye is the population, which is thousands of miles of fertile fields, but there is a lack of manpower. In history, it was not until the Wu Zetian period that Chen Ziang's letter began to garrison troops in Zhangye Tuntian.

Therefore, Xu Qilin dared to boast about Haikou and dared to come here to gild.

Even if he doesn't have his later thinking, as long as the court supports it, others can still build Zhangye into the south of the Yangtze River. Although in terms of time, it must have taken much more than him.

With 2,000 soldiers, Xu Qilin and his entourage traveled day and night, and finally arrived in Zhangye before the cotton was planted.

There is nothing to say, after a cursory survey, Xu Qilin commanded the government soldiers to cultivate the tuntian and planted all the cotton seeds, which is as much as 1,000 acres.

This was followed by the continuous arrival of the Dayingku transportation team, craftsmen, family members, and immigrants, and the construction began in full swing.

Although as early as the Qin and Han dynasties, the Yueshi and the Xiongnu built cities here, but the scale was not large and it was dilapidated. The ancient city of Ganzhou in later generations was founded in Western Xia.

Xu Qilin wanted to build a big city famous in the northwest, but it was not the most important work. The most urgent tasks are to build houses, resettle migrants, and reclaim land for farming.

So, he chose the site of the city and drew the drawings. According to the plan, the houses first, then the shops, and finally the city, reversed the construction process.

At the same time, according to the results of the survey, he set up villages and towns, diverted migrants, and continued to use the army to reclaim land and cultivate land while building houses.

The cost of transporting food over long distances is too high. The cotton that will create economic benefits has been planted, and all that remains is to vigorously grow grain and strive to achieve self-sufficiency after this autumn's harvest.

The work of resettlement is complicated and trivial, requiring not only houses, farmland, agricultural tools, but also various daily necessities. Of course, not all of these have to be shipped from Chang'an, and some can be purchased from Liangzhou in the east.

What surprised Xu Qilin the most was the mind and sense of smell of the businessmen, who saw the development of Ganzhou with great fanfare, and also saw the westward migration of a large number of immigrants, and these businessmen also saw business opportunities.

A large number of materials were transported by merchants, even if it was a transport team that did not use the big surplus warehouse, Xu Qilin also expressed great welcome.

Isn't it just to make money, are we still short of this? As long as the immediate trouble is solved, Xu Qilin is still willing to let these merchants come and go to trade.

In order to show encouragement, according to the amount of materials brought in by the merchants, Xu Qilin introduced preferential policies, and sent a letter to Chang'an, asking Dayingku to give convenience to these merchants.

"Xu Cheng, I'm back next." Wang Fangyi jumped off the horse, his face was dusty, but he was full of joy, turned around and pointed, and said, "Hundreds of stones mined in the salt pond have all been transported." ”

Yanchi, more than 900 miles north of Zhangye, is white and luscious, and the quality is excellent. Wang Fangyi was ordered to go and returned with a full load, which solved the problem of salt for immigrants at once.

"Good, excellent." Xu Qilin breathed a sigh of relief again, and the living materials were solved again, which was gratifying.

Wang Fangyi said with a smile: "In the past ten days, it has changed a lot, which surprised a certain person. ”

"No, no!" Xu Qilin smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty's support is not said, but this speed is really a bit fast. Soon another group of immigrants came, monks who had returned to the laity, and slaves and maidservants who had been kept up. ”

Wang Fangyi nodded and said, "Your Majesty's attack on Shamen is beneficial to the construction of Ganzhou. As long as the population is large, Ganzhou will become a plug in the south of the Yangtze River, which is just around the corner. ”
