A large hall of Zhaojue Temple was blown up, once the news came out, it immediately caused an uproar in Chengdu, and soon there was news that the explosion of Zhaojue Temple and the explosion of Ye Gonggong's mansion were committed by the same murderer, and the purpose was to assassinate Ye Gonggong, but for some reason it was detonated in advance.

The puja is about to be held there, and the monks and living Buddhas are almost there, so when this happens, how can the puja be held?

Ye Gonggong was "furious" and immediately ordered the government to arrest the murderer, and at the same time sent troops to block the Zhaojue Temple, and then conducted a thorough search of the entire temple to prevent any more hidden explosives.

Originally, Ye Xun planned to order Sun Dong to send someone to set up explosives, but after talking with the two Tibetan monks, he changed his mind, the explosion time was advanced, and he tried not to hurt anyone, fortunately, the explosion result was similar to expected.

Ye Gonggong's strict order to track down the murderer can be said to be unanimously praised by the monks and living Buddhas present, this kind of thing is scary to think about, if the explosion occurs on the day of the festival, there is no telling how many people will be killed.

In the midst of the praise of merit, only the monks of Zhaojue Temple spat heavily, because the officers and soldiers isolated all the monks on the grounds that there were fellow assassins in the temple, so that the entire temple fell into the hands of the officers and soldiers.

After the examination was completed, the senior monk in charge of managing the temple property suddenly found that all the money accumulated in the temple over the years was gone, and many account books and title deeds were missing.

You must know that the incense of Zhaojue Temple has always been very good, the monks have a good business, coupled with the generosity of the lay pilgrims, over the years, has accumulated no less than one million taels of silver, but I don't want these things to suddenly disappear, no need to ask, it must be the officers and soldiers who are guarding and stealing.

The angry Master Hongzhi immediately came to find Ye Gonggong, but he didn't want Ye Gonggong to meet with the new Chengdu Governor Hong Chengchou at the moment, and he didn't have time to deal with him at all.

Master Hongzhi also lost his temper, so he simply waited in the living room, and when Gonggong Ye didn't see him, he wouldn't leave.

Ye Xun didn't care if he waited or not, since Hong Chengchou had arrived, he would go to Lhasa with Ngawang Luosang.

Strictly speaking, Hong Chengchou arrived a little late, first, the road was not easy to walk, and he also had to make a handover with the official who replaced him before leaving.

Under the leadership of Ye Xun, the border towns on the line from Datong to Taiyuan are building roads, so Hong Chengchou's usual official business is also very busy.

What finally made Ye Xun decide to use Hong Chengchou was that there was no chance for him to be a traitor in this time and space, and Hong Chengchou was indeed a very capable official.

Seeing the legendary Ye Gonggong, Hong Chengchou was also very excited, and briefly reported to Ye Xun about the incident in Shaanxi, and under Ye Xun's guidance, he began to communicate with Ye Xun about what he should do after taking over as the governor of Sichuan.

"Father-in-law, the lower officials think that the focus of Shu governance should also be on the Miao people, the Miao people are stable, then the Shu land is stable, but for these people, you can't blindly connive at them, otherwise it is easy to develop arrogance for them, and resolutely eliminate those who do not obey the king, and those who are docile, but also divide them, so that they can gradually integrate into the Han people, so that it is much easier to manage."

Speaking of this, Hong Chengchou showed a look of worship on his face, and continued: "My father-in-law's free school is really a stroke of God, no matter who it is, only by learning etiquette will you know etiquette, so that Miao dolls have books to read, this is the way to cure both the symptoms and the root causes, and the officials admire."

Ye Xun smiled and waved his hand: "Hehe! Lord Hong has won the award, has Lord Hong thought about it, once the imperial court's finances are tight, what should I do if the salaries of the teaching gentlemen cannot be paid? ”

"Xia Guan knows, in fact, the current gentlemen's salaries are paid in advance by the father-in-law, and this is certainly not a long-term solution, Xia Guan is already pondering this matter on the way here, Chengdu merchants gather, and there is a tea and horse field at the border, if the business tax is slightly raised, to pay the salaries of the gentlemen, is it not enough? The rest can also be used to repair bridges and pave roads, in short, I can't let my father-in-law take money out of his own pocket."

Hong Chengchou didn't know that Ye Xun's trip to Shuzhong could be said to have gained a lot, and he took out some silver to pay the gentlemen's salaries, which can be described as a drop in the bucket.

However, Hong Chengchou was able to think about things so carefully, and he could finally let Ye Xun leave with confidence.

nodded and said: "There are many ethnic groups in Shudi, and we must be cautious in raising commercial taxes, and at the same time, we must do a good job in supervision, and we must not do that thing to quench our thirst, and it is strictly forbidden to tax the people."

"The national issue has always been a problem for the local government, Shu is not only Miao people, you have to do your best to do the same, so that there will be no chaos, as you said, if there are tribes that do not obey Wanghua, they must not be tolerated and connived, there is General Qin to help you in this regard, you can let go"

Speaking of this, Ye Xun suddenly remembered something again and asked, "Do you know that there is a kid named Li Zicheng?" Well! Now about fifteen or sixteen years old, Mizhi Li Ji moved to the village"

Hong Chengchou was stunned for a moment, subconsciously shook his head, and said: "Forgive the official for being lonely and unheard, I haven't heard of this name, is it my father-in-law's old acquaintance?" ”

Ye Xun smiled and said, "Send someone to find it, by the way, there is another one named Zhang Xianzhong, the two of them are the same age, stay with you first after finding it, and see them when I come back."

In history, the famine in Shaanxi was serious at the end of the Apocalypse, and the two brothers were exposed separately, and now they will definitely not be given this opportunity again, but for such dangerous elements, they still have to be strictly guarded, and they really can't do it, and they can also be released to harm others.

Hong Chengchou agreed with a puzzled mind, and then asked, "How many troops does my father-in-law plan to bring into Tibet?" As far as Xia Guan knows, there are not many Tubo people in the Shuzhong army, and if there are too few guards, I am afraid that there will be danger, after all, there has been a long time of disobedience to the king."

"My father's 100 guards are enough, but the Dalai Living Buddha wants to give me the title of Tenzin but knot, and having this title in Tibet is worth 100,000 troops."

Ye Xun didn't go to Tibet to fight, and as Hong Chengchou said, the army in Shuzhong only began to recruit soldiers from the plateau region in a targeted manner, and it could not be of great use in a short period of time, so if he brought a large army, it would not play any role at all except for the loss of labor and money.

The two had a deep conversation, and they had been talking about it since the afternoon, and dinner was eaten in the study.

Hong Chengchou knew that not everyone could have this kind of treatment, and while he was grateful, he also had a more intuitive understanding of Ye Xun.

How can a person who is so dedicated and can always keep the national economy and people's livelihood in mind can be a traitor?

After Hong Chengchou left, the guards reported that Master Hongzhi was still waiting in the living room.

Ye Xun was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but laugh in his heart, this great monk is persistent enough!

If you have the heart to say no, think about it or walk to the living room in person, this matter, you must have an attitude, but you can't admit it anyway, otherwise Grandpa Ye's tall and glorious image is probably going to collapse...
