Chapter 1058: Luring the Chieftains to Open Up Territories

Slowly ascend to the mountain gate.

"Songshan seems to be much quieter." Luo Cheng said with a smile.

Abbot Daoxin, the protector of the country who came to greet him at the mountain gate, was very calm, "In the mountains and forests, it is good to restore some of the original quiet." ”

When going up the mountain together, Luo Cheng also looked at the current mountain temple by the way, there is indeed a lot less hustle and bustle in the past, there are no more pilgrims on the mountain, there are no longer vegetarian seats for sale and hospitality, and there are no longer female pilgrims.

Entering the temple, Luo Cheng first went to the main hall in front of the Buddha and put on a pillar of incense.

There were no large rewards of gold and silver, any sesame oil candles, and the emperor only brought a few boxes of scriptures to the temple. There are both Buddhist scriptures, a subset of scriptures and history, and then some paper, ink, pen and inkstone.

There are also a hundred monks in the temple.

Although Daoxin has the title of a protector, this temple is not full of princes and princes, perhaps because of the emperor's attitude towards Buddhism, so not many people are willing to get too close to the mountain gate.

"A thousand acres of land in the temple, can you plant it?"

Daoxin said, this thousand acres of land, they planted wheat millet, vegetables and some fruit trees and mulberry trees, "I took my apprentices to work in shifts, and the temple also raised cattle to help plough the land." ”

Now the monks in the temple get up early every day to chant the sutras and worship the Buddha, and after breakfast, they go down the mountain to work in the temple fields, ploughing the ground, hoeing the grass, fertilizing and watering. After lunch, take a rest, continue to chant sutras, copy sutras and chant sutras in the afternoon, and then go back to work in the fields in the middle of the afternoon.

They even began to raise silkworms and weave cloth and grow hemp and hemp.

"No wonder I think you're all a little darker." Luo Cheng said with a smile.

However, the Taoist monk felt that the current state was quite good, and only a small number of believers came every day, so it was good to send some disciples to take turns to receive them.

They are self-cultivated and self-sufficient.

There are no longer 10,000 acres of temple land, there is no longer a pledge bank to lend, and there are no longer a large number of temple net slave tenants, and their lives are much simpler.

Chanting sutras and worshipping Buddha, farming and labor.

The 100 monks left in the temple are all very religious, and everyone has no opinion on the current ascetic-like days.

"Nowadays, we have a lot less interference from the outside world, and we have a lot less impetuousness in the world, thanks to Your Majesty."

"It would be nice if all the monks in the world thought like you, Master." Luo Cheng sighed, not all monks can be so detached and free, and the previous Buddhist reform in various places still caused a lot of obstruction. There are even many who secretly make trouble and incite the masses.

Fortunately, Luo Cheng didn't give them the slightest chance.

At noon, the emperor was entertained in the temple, and Daoxin spoke, and did not make any special vegetarian meals, but ate the same lunch with the monks in the temple.

The millet produced in the temple field, the millet porridge cooked by the husk, and then accompanied by the radish grown in the temple, and some small pickles, and two steamed buns per person, one with mixed noodles and one with white noodles.

"Poor hospitality!" Daoxin folded his hands.

"It's already very rich, and the homes of ordinary people may not be so good." Luo Cheng said again, "Master, you cultivate by yourself and are self-sufficient, which is amazing. However, if a monk wants to cultivate and practice, he still has to pay attention to supplementing his nutrition. ”

The emperor had a simple lunch with the monks in the temple, and then the emperor chatted with the abbot and other great monks in the temple for a while, and listened to the Taoist letter talk about Zen and enlightenment.

Luo Cheng didn't stay in the temple for long, he went to the temple field at the foot of the mountain, looked at the land planted by the monks, and found that the wheat they planted was very good, and the radish field over there was even more green.

The vegetable furrow is very clean, there are no weeds, and it can be seen that it has been done with care.

"Your Majesty, Jiannan Province Su Dingfang Du Governor Jie regained Wenshan, Tongchang two counties, the head of the fine seal tribe was captured and attached, his son fine seal Bu Lai invited as the forward, the deed must be He Li and the two generals attacked the party Xiang Tuoba Department, three battles and three victories, the party Xiang Tuoba Department killed and wounded more than 3,000 soldiers, its leader Tuoba Leopard led the troops from the north to Jishi Fort to surrender."

"Captain Wang Xuance lured Tuoba Leopard and his son, and then surrounded his subordinates, all of them were forced to land, more than 30,000 mouths, 10,000 horses, more than 100,000 cattle, sheep and livestock, the first major tribe of the party, with 10,000 horses, died!"

When Luo Cheng heard the news, he frowned slightly.

"Since the Tuoba Department led his troops to the foot of Jishi Mountain to surrender, why did Wang Xuance trap and kill Tuoba Leopard's father and son? However, if he kills, he will be killed, and he will pass on the decree to Wang Xuance, and I will give him three more ranks, one level higher position, ten horses, and twenty party slaves. ”

"Spread the order to Su Dingfang, the land of the Tuoba Department, controlled by the Great Qin Army, and not handed over to the Fine Seal Department. The territory of the Tuoba Department, I will later give it to Su Dingfang and Wang Xuance and other princes as fiefs. ”

"The edict seals the rhino into the court as an official, and adds the fine seal to rely on the rank of guerrilla general."

The emperor's disposition of the Tuoba Department was still harsh. For the tens of thousands of people captured by Wang Xuance, he did not plan to assign them another piece of land for grazing, but directly issued an order to reduce them all to slavery.

Some of them were used as rewards for the soldiers in this battle to fulfill their military exploits, and the rest were sent to the Central Plains and arranged to be slaves in various government workshops.

The territory of the party department is not suitable for farming, but it can also be used to divide the princes, and the princes can also develop animal husbandry there, which can also become the screen of the imperial court.

·········

Under the stone fort, the heads of the seven Tuoba Leopard father and son were hung high, and they had been deformed under the cold wind and were difficult to identify.

The fine seal Bulai looked at the row of skulls and felt that his scalp was a little numb.

This is the Tuoba tribe that once made them have to be careful to guard against the clan, but now the patriarch and his son have all become this rotten flesh and bones.

"There are more than 30,000 people in the Tuoba Department, all of whom are slaves?"

Xifeng Bulai asked Wang Xuance, the soldier and horse envoy of Jishi Fort, a little cautiously, this young man is really ruthless, he cut down the Tuoba father and son who came to vote without saying a word, and also sent troops to trick more than 30,000 Tuoba people into a valley, and then surrounded them from the outside to force them to surrender.

Now, they are all going to be reduced to captives.

Wang Xuance was dressed in Mingguang armor, his hand pressed the ring-headed knife, and snorted.

"Tuoba Leopard father and son think that my Great Qin is so deceitful? If you want to attack, you can attack, and if you want to vote, you can vote? When he dared to commit a crime, he had to think about the consequences. ”

The fine seal Bulai didn't dare to say anything more.

After a long time, he said again, "According to the agreement between my fine seal department and the governor of Sudu, after breaking through the Tuoba department, the land and livestock will belong to my fine seal department, and the population will belong to the imperial court, I don't know ········."

Before he finished his words, he was glared at by Wang Xuance.

"This may be the agreement between the Governor of Su and you, but it is not an agreement with me, a certain is the guard of Jishibao Town, Heyuan County, Qinghai Province, and he only listens to the command of the Governor Feng Xiaoci, and does not need to listen to the order of the Governor of Jiannan Province. Tuoba Leopard's father and son were captured by me, and their subordinates were also captured by me, and their territory naturally should belong to my occupation. ”

The fine seal Bulai stood there, extremely embarrassed.

He wanted to argue with reason, but he looked at the row of leaders and couldn't speak.

But I was very unwilling to forget it like this, so I didn't stand or walk.

"What, dissatisfied?"

Fine Seal Bulai gritted his teeth, "Don't dare." ”

"I don't care if you don't dare or what, I've already made it clear, if you dare to cross the line at all, you will be the enemy of my Jishi Fort Army, and then don't blame me for waiting for Qin Dao to be ruthless!"

The fine seal Bulai held back the fire in his belly, but there was nowhere to go, and his face was purple and swollen.
