Fu Sanqing retired a large number of Ye family's subordinates, and Ye Hua was of course happy to see it. Counting the Ye family, it has been rich for several years, and the servants and servants in the family are inevitably slack and lazy, coupled with the old lady Bodhisattva-like heart, the people below are becoming more and more unruly, and they are getting more and more bold, and they are disobedient and stealing the master's property, so there is nothing they dare not do.

In the past, he was not often at home and could not be restrained, but now Fu San is willing to be a villain, Ye Hua just pushes the boat, he selected a group of veterans who were injured and could not continue to serve in the army, and let them be responsible for the safety of the mansion.

And from among the families of these people, he chose some servants and servants, all of whom were reliable and honest men.

Ye Hua made a contract with these people.

With a limit of five years, the young maid can choose three years, or five years, and when the work period expires, they can leave the Ye Mansion, as for the servant maid, it is also a five-year period, if they do a good job, after five years, they are willing to renew the contract, and the salary will be increased.

All in all, these people are the workers hired by the Ye family, not subordinates.

This is also what Chai Rong advocated.

At present, Prime Minister Fan Zhen is in charge of this part, and for the generals, it is necessary to clean up the number of family members and limit the number of private soldiers. For wealthy families and high-ranking officials in the court, it is necessary to limit the number of family members, turn the original domestic slaves into hired laborers, and do not kill their subordinates at will, and when they reach the age limit, they must take the initiative to let them go......

Compared with the traditional slavery, this set of practices attaches more importance to the value of human beings, and mentions the cost of the rich and noble families employing their subordinates, according to the simplest economic logic, the cost increases, and the families employ fewer people, in other words, the large families have fewer human resources. There are more manpower engaged in farming and doing business, more wealth is created, and the tax base of the imperial court is larger......

From the political hall to the Privy Council, the logic of governance in the Great Zhou is the same, and it boils down to four words: rich country and strong army!

"The Holy Son of Heaven is determined to forge ahead, and the princes of the court and China are carefully assisted. From top to bottom, all of them are doing their best, but there is a group of people who do not produce, do not think about work, sit back and enjoy their achievements, and bewitch the public...... If it is not eradicated, how can it be worthy of the grace entrusted by the monarch! How can we be worthy of the hard-working people? The same people of the Great Zhou, some people work hard to pay taxes, but some people can evade taxes, if this continues, wouldn't it encourage the people and let everyone be opportunistic, when the time comes, what will the world become, I can't imagine it! ”

Lu Duoxun faced Ye Hua and spoke generously, speaking very passionately.

Ye Hua didn't bother to listen, "Master Lu, I only want to know two things now, first, what are you looking for me for?" Second, what's the problem with the wound on your head? You came with an injury, you don't want to touch porcelain, do you? ”

Lu Duoxun didn't know what it meant to touch porcelain, but he also knew that it was not a good word, he smiled bitterly: "This is my mother's beating, and it has nothing to do with Hou Ye." ”

"How could Ling Tang beat you? Isn't it because of the temple thing? ”

"How does Master Hou know?"

Ye Hua also smiled bitterly, "Because I was also called." ”

"Huh? Hou Ye...... Beaten? ”

"Not really." Ye Hua said: "Grandmother asked a few words about the Buddhist temple, and her old man said that a layman who had made incense with her found her and wanted her to help, speak for the temple, and not touch their fields." ”

Lu Duoxun's eyes widened, such a powerful bald donkey, he actually walked the door to Ye Lao Fengjun, it was really impressive!

Who doesn't know that the Ye family has a high seniority, is kind to the Guo family, and the grandson is the champion Hou, if the old lady says a word, no one dares to risk the world's disapproval!

Thinking of this, Lu Duoxun hung his heart.

"Master Hou, what does the old feudal monarch mean?"

"It's not interesting." Ye Hua said: "Grandmother told me that she wanted to build a small Buddhist hall in the backyard, and she would not go to Daxiangguo Temple in the future!" ”

"Oops!"

Lu Duosun was so happy that he slapped his face, the old Fengjun was really bright-eyed, extraordinary!

In contrast, his wife is simply old-fashioned, and she should really learn from Lao Fengjun.

"Grandmother won't speak for monks, but there are many people who are willing to speak, but I'm afraid that your pressure is not small, right?"

"It's fine!"

Lu Duosun shook his head and laughed: "Although I don't have the ability to rush into battle, I can't do anything!" But when you do things in the court, you must also be so ruthless! Even if my mother stops it, it won't work! ”

"Master Hou, there is only one thing for the lower officials to come, I want to ask the hussar guards for help." After speaking, Lu Duoxun's eyes were bright, and he stared at Ye Hua tightly, for fear that he would refuse.

"Why hussars?" Ye Hua took a sip of tea and asked with a smile.

"Because the hussars are disciplined, they have nothing to do with the temple in Kaifeng." Lu Duoxun said: "Master Hou, do you know that many of the forbidden troops in the past believed in Buddhism and did not hesitate to destroy their families to worship Buddha. ”

"What?" Ye Hua smiled: "A martial artist who has killed countless people actually believes in Buddhism, is it really funny?" ”

"Xu is killing too much, I want to put down the butcher knife!" Lu Duoxun said with a smile: "The hussar guards are heroes and heroes, and they have a clear conscience, and the lower officials heard that the Hou Ye let the army read and write, and he understands the truth." If you want to Qingzhang Buddhist Temple, only the hussar guards can help the lowly duty! ”

After speaking, he bowed deeply.

Ye Hua nodded, "Okay, I'll immediately order a thousand centaurs to press you down." ”

Lu Duosun was overjoyed, "With the Hou Ye here, I guarantee success!" ”

This is really a man of action, he has been ready for a long time, he ordered a hundred Kaifeng Mansion officials, opened the road in front, Ye Hua led the people and horses, and followed, including Zhao Kuangyi, Ye Zhong, and Ye Xiao, who also followed.

On the way, Ye Zhong was still very curious, "I just can't figure it out, how can there be so much land in the temple?" It's worth the hussars to go out and make a big move! ”

Zhao Kuangyi snorted, "Ignorance! Let me ask you, who has the most land in Kaifeng Province? ”

"Who else, saint! The Son of Heaven is rich all over the world! ”

Zhao Kuangyi sneered: "That said, who did you see who took the initiative to hand over their own land to Your Majesty?" No! But let me tell you, there are many, many people who took the initiative to give the property to the temple, and they still knelt on the ground, crying and begging to take it! ”

"What?" Ye Zhong couldn't believe it, "They believe in Buddhism and are so devout!" ”

"!" Zhao Kuangyi said: "The temple can be tax-free, they hang the land under the temple, so they don't have to bear taxes and servitude, speaking of which, the temple is robbing the Son of Heaven for wealth, don't you say they are looking for death!" ”

"Oh!"

Ye Zhong suddenly realized, it turned out that the monk who seemed to be kind and kind-hearted was actually so excessive!

Dare to compete with the Son of Heaven, no wonder you are unlucky!

Lu Duosun led people to Daxiangguo Temple, which was the largest temple in the world and the most prosperous market.

From the south to the north, merchants gathered, all of them set up stalls on the side of the open space around the temple, medicinal materials from Liaodong, jewelry from the Western Regions, porcelain from Jiangnan, silk, coral trees from the South China Sea, and precious wood...... It's all there.

The monks provided the merchants with warehouses, stalls, shelters, and food...... In addition, they are also responsible for attracting and matching business, and if they don't make a deal, they can get a fee.

In addition, the merchants brought a large amount of money, including gold and silver, copper, and flying money, and how to trade them.

The clever monks are also in charge of the exchange business, and all in all, they are definitely the most business-savvy business geniuses in the world.

As early as a few years ago, Ye Hua had borrowed money from Daxiangguo Temple, and he still had an IOU from Feng Dao in his arms...... Dare to make Lao Tzu's money, let you know now!

Ye Hua came to the door with the heart of debt collection.

It's just that to his surprise, the door of Daxiangguo Temple is wide open today, and many monks are waiting outside, headed by a monk, who looks like he is in his seventies, very old, with a fluttering beard, a pair of old eyes, full of kindness, just like the old grandfather next door.

When he saw the people coming, he hurriedly bowed down, "Old man greets Lord Lu and Champion Hou!" ”

Lu Duosun glanced at him, "The old monk has his hands and eyes to the sky, and he knows everything!" ”

The old monk smiled, "It's not the power of the old monk, but the boundless Dharma and compassion!" ”

Lu Duosun rolled his eyelids, "Old monk, I don't know if the Buddha told you how to pass today's pass?" ”

The old monk smiled, "My lord said that he was joking, the old monk is just a stinky skin in the world, you can take it at any time, it's not worth mentioning!" ”

"It's rare, but I see death as home!" Lu Duosun sneered: "Then I will come to test the old monk's cultivation today!" ”

"I can't ask for it!"

After speaking, the monk led the way in front, Lu Duoxun followed quickly, Ye Hua took Zhao Kuangyi a few, walked into the abbot's room with his hands behind his back.

The furnishings in the room are very simple, only one set of tables and chairs, but the materials are extraordinary, all of them are rosewood.

"Old monk, with this table, you can feed a lot of people, right?"

The old monk smiled slightly, "If Lord Lu thinks it's okay, please take it!" ”

"Are you willing?"

"What's reluctant!" The old monk said with a smile: "In this temple, brick by brick, wood and stone, it is a blessing to give money from all parties, and it can give back to the people!" ”

Ye Hua happened to walk in at this time, and he smiled and said, "Such a generous monk, I don't know if you are willing to return the land and property in the temple to the people?" ”

The old monk did not hesitate, and immediately said: "Hou Ye has a life, everything is disobeyed, go and bring the inventory of the field and show it to Hou Ye." ”

The little novice nodded and ran out.

The old monk invited Ye Hua and Lu Duoxun to sit down, he held the teapot in one hand and poured water for the two people, only then did Ye Hua notice that the old monk only had one arm and was a disabled person.

"Master Hou saw it, but he wanted to know why the old monk's left arm was gone?"

Ye Hua smiled and said, "You might as well talk about it." ”

"Hmm!" The old monk nodded slightly, "It was more than fifty years ago, the old monk served in the army, followed Zhu Wen, fought in the south and the north, and the killing was not counted, and then Zhu Wen entered Kaifeng and boarded the dragon chair, and the old monk returned home, but suffered a drastic change...... At that time, the old monk was heartbroken, stumbled, and came to the temple. In the hall of the Great Hero, kneel in front of the Buddha statue for three whole days, repenting of sins. The old monk was enlightened by the Buddha, but he didn't have any property on his body, so he waved his knife and broke his arm, and offered my Buddha with his arm! The old monk smiled and said, "Master Hou, do you want to know what happened to the old monk?" ”
