Chapter 671: The Sin of Faith
Cai Cong had already captured the city at this time, walking on the streets full of ruins, his heart was full of emotion, this city was full of believers, and after the battle, it was already ten rooms and nine empty.
Just now, two children with dirty faces brandished were waving daggers and shouting, 'Death to the devil!' 'I want to assassinate him.' was smashed to pieces by a big bull with a hammer.
Cai Cong did not sympathize, nor did he resent, at this moment he only had great anger towards Buddhism in his heart.
It's just that in order to maintain a high position, all the people in a city died, and the surrounding villages died, and in the end, these people did not eat the pie drawn by Buddhism, and all of them ended up in ruins.
"Master Hou, don't be sad, this is not what you want." The big bull urn said angrily, he had followed Cai Cong for many years and knew what Cai Cong was thinking.
"I'm not sad, it's reasonable for the people to be ignorant and bewitched, but who hasn't read the book? Have you read all these years of books in the belly of a dog? ”
Cai Cong said angrily that when he attacked the family, the people, soldiers, and scholars in the city tried their best to cooperate with him, just to seek a stable life.
But this is not the case in this city, where everyone supervises each other, and one by one is not afraid of death for the sake of the so-called afterlife, and before he can get the news out of the city's eyes, he is beaten to death by the people, and these people are his friendliest neighbors in the past.
"Fortunately, these demagogic bald donkeys have been killed by Hou Ye, think about it, it's a relief." Da Niu said happily, he also hated the bald donkey, and every time he thought of what happened to his family, he longed to slash the bald donkey.
"I can't get rid of the anger, this is not enough, Ben Hou has ordered people to move people from all over the world, and when Shannan Road recovers, he will go to the Jingyun Temple of Nantuo Mountain in Henan Province. Ben Hou wants to destroy the Buddha all the way from Shannan Road to Nantuo Mountain. ”
Cai Cong squinted his eyes and said, Da Niu only felt a chill down his spine, except for the monks, how many people did those believers have to die along the way? Hou Ye's heart is simply made of iron.
He didn't dare to continue the topic, so he changed the topic and said: "Master Hou, there is a letter from Chang'an, the people who sell weapons are people from the Ministry of Industry and the army, and behind them are the Confucian sage family. In addition, the lady of Kongming took in an apprentice for you in your name, who is Di Renjie, the son of Di Zhixun. What do you think these two things should be handled? ”
This girl finally did a serious job, and wrote back to tell her that I accepted Di Renjie's disciple and ordered her to teach her as a teacher, and at the same time even teach the two little ghosts in the family. I don't want to go back and see two gentlemen. ”
Cai Cong said with a smile, he never thought that Wu Zetian would accept Di Renjie as his younger brother. But it's okay, his pair of children can also be taught by Kong Ming, who grew up in the hands of women are mostly soft characters, or they are scum who do all kinds of evil, and he doesn't want to see his children become such people.
"Understood, what should I do about the weapons case?" Da Niu nodded and asked, if these moths let him bump into them, he promised to crush the throat bones one by one.
"Hmph, although Chu Moxuan acted decisively, it was a pity that Di Renjie was too smart but too immature. In terms of money, the Confucian family is not lacking, in terms of benefits, the Confucian family has no bones, there is no need for them to participate in these things, and they dare not participate in this matter.
This is someone fishing in troubled waters and trying to drag the Kong family into the water. The descendants of the Ten Thousand Masters represent the face of Confucianism, and even the source of Confucianism, and if the imperial court moves them, it will push all Confucianism to the opposite side. Your Majesty will not do this, and there is no need for us to get involved in it, tell Kong Ming to keep their duties and not to participate in these things. ”
Cai Cong said coldly, the generals in the army added the life of a squire of the Ministry of Engineering to do it, no wonder Chu Moxuan didn't see through it. I just don't know who is secretly using the means.
"Da Niu understands, so I'll reply to Mrs. Kongming." Da Niu immediately said, how could he have thought that there were so many Dao in this without enough brains?
"After the matter is completed, you will lead people to clear out the remnants of the city, and order Chen Tingtao to bring people over to take over the yamen in the city, and you must clarify all the land inside and outside the city in the shortest possible time, and distribute it to the people who have migrated according to the population at that time."
Cai Cong said and stopped, he looked up, the ruins in front of him were still smoking, this is the Thorn Shi Mansion in the city, Thorn Shi has long sacrificed his life for the country, thinking that the Thorn Shi family is unwilling to join the Maitreya Sect and be destroyed, he clenched his fists.
"Build the Thorn History Mansion in the shortest possible time, send someone to the mass grave to find it, and see if you can find the remains of the Thorn Shi family, if you can find the thick burial!"
Cai Cong sighed and said, he didn't want to be angry or cruel anymore, the monk's six impure minds are full of power and wealth, and if he wants to transcend worldly rights, he must let them know what pain is and what repentance is not at the beginning.
Cai Cong stayed for a month, and the people who migrated from all over the world soon filled the city and the surrounding villages. Cai Cong gave land and grain, and was exempted from taxes for two years, such a people's policy is simply deep in the hearts of the people and has been loved by the people.
The most ruthless thing is that Cai Cong sold all the land that originally belonged to the temple, and used the money from the sale to pay the military salary, and the Yulin Temple sent a monk to hand it over, and even took out all the land deeds to get the land back.
Cai Cong slaughtered the monk without saying a word, sold the land to the merchants, the squire, and set the law, the monks quit greed and hatred, from now on all the temples in Shannan Province each monk is only allowed to have ten acres of grain land, five acres of mulberry land, no need to pay taxes, but if anyone's land exceeds this amount, then the tax is fifty and at the same time have to serve the conscription.
As soon as the news came out, the monks who were about to set off to Shannan Road to take over the temples all stopped, what the hell is going to be a monk? This is to suffer, not to go!
Monks everywhere are afraid that the land in the temple will also be taken away by the imperial court, so they have sold the land for gold to find a place to hide. For a time, there was turmoil, the land of the temple was sold, and many buyers did not continue to hire the original tenants, and suddenly a large number of tenants in various places had no land to rent.
Some people take risks and move their families to the grass, some people sell their children and daughters with grass sticks, and many drag their wives and children to beg in the city, and there is a great chaos in various places.
Fortunately, the officials in most areas are not straw bales, and after getting the permission of the imperial court, they have launched self-help, giving grain and farm tools, and letting the tenants go to the wasteland outside the city on their own.
The tenants suddenly had their own land because of the blessing of misfortune, and they were grateful to the court one by one, so how could they make trouble? The commotion in various places soon calmed down, but under the calm, there was an undercurrent surging, and who could see it?
