Chapter 627: Give Me Back My Land (Part II)
What Li Muyun said was exactly what Yuan Tiangang was worried about, but to be honest, he was also riding a tiger now, even though he knew that what the young county king in front of him was right, there was no way to agree with his opinion.
And just when Lao Yuan was about to say something, he saw Li Muyun wave his hand and continued: "Yuan Laodao, you don't have to be in a hurry to deny it, I know what you think, and I also met people who were driven out of the shelves like you some time ago, and it was difficult to ride a tiger, so you don't have to pretend with Lao Tzu, let's open the skylight and say something bright, you still don't pay back Lao Tzu's land!" ”
Yuan Tiangang sighed: "Since the prince knows the difficulties of the old way, why should he be strong?" If those lands are old and mine, then the old way will not say a word, and I will give you all the title deeds immediately, but the problem is that the land is not the old way, and I am not the spokesperson of the old way, so what's the point of you forcing the old way like this? ”
"Then let you become the spokesperson of the Daomen!" Li Muyun cocked Erlang's legs, squinted his eyes and said, "Yuan Laodao, you should know that we have a religious management Ji member meeting in Datang, right?" I can guarantee you to be the vice president in it, and at the same time, I can also leave four permanent seats for your Daomen, what do you think of this condition? ”
Yuan Tiangang's eyes flashed slightly, and he seemed to be a little moved, he didn't know what this religious management committee was, but there was news in this court for a long time, and I heard that it was related to Buddhism, Taoism and other religions.
Li Muyun observed his words and saw that Yuan Tiangang was a little moved, and said with a slight smile: "Is it a little moved?" To be honest, this religious governing committee may not have any practical meaning for ordinary people, but it is different for you who have faith. ”
Yuan Tiangang took the opportunity to ask, "Why?" What kind of existence is this religious council? ”
"To administer and approve new religions, to examine doctrines, and to veto certain religions, of course, a religion vetoed by the management committee will be defined as a cult, and the government will be responsible for arresting its followers. In addition, the management committee has many other functions, such as how many believers can be recruited for each religion each year, etc., in short, the position of vice president is very powerful, after all, the chairman is the prince, and the prince is too busy, you say? ”
After listening to Li Muyun's brief introduction, I have to say that Yuan Tiangang is really moved, not to mention whether he can suppress other religions by using power for personal gain, just not being suppressed by other religions is already a great benefit.
Thinking of this, Yuan Tiangang's heart also warmed up, and he called in a Taoist priest from outside the door and ordered: "You go and brew two cups of tea from my uncle in the spring, remember, use mountain spring water!" ”
"Yes!" The Taoist priest who came in at the door agreed, ran to a corner of the house, took out a small bag for a long time, and carefully carried it out.
Li Muyun looked at Yuan Tiangang who was sitting next to him and smiled: "Yuan Laodao, you are so insincere, when there is no benefit, you are cold to Lao Tzu, as soon as you hear that it is good, you will immediately serve good tea, if this is spread, look at where your old face goes." ”
Yuan Tiangang smiled helplessly: "Lord Wang, there is no way to do it, there are so many sects in the world, it is impossible for all of them to listen to me, right?" And this person has a lot of ideas, and he roasted me, an old Taoist, on the fire, you say, what can I do, old Taoist. ”
Li Muyun pouted: "If you want me to say that you are soft-hearted, as the leader of the Daomen, you should have the power to say everything, what is the matter with the people below to set up and roast, where is your authority, if it is always like this, even if you give you the position of vice president, you can't suppress it." ”
Listening to Li Muyun's similar complaint, Yuan Tiangang arched his hand with a look of shame: "What the prince said is true, but no matter what, this position can't be given to others, right?" Besides, my Daomen ancestor is Lao Tzu, and he is also the ancestor of the Li clan, speaking of which, the Daomen and the royal family are more or less a family, and this fertilizer water can't flow into outsiders' fields, right? ”
"Hehe......" Li Muyun pointed at Yuan Tiangang with a false finger: "You are an old man who deserves to be a fortune teller, and you have told you the truth anyway, what else can I say?" However, let's talk about the ugly things in the front, you have to send me back Lao Tzu's land, otherwise not to mention the vice president, even the positions of the four permanent directors may not all be given to you. ”
Yuan Tiangang took over the conversation with a smile: "That's natural, that's natural, if this thing can't be done, I'm embarrassed to ask the prince for that position no matter how thick-skinned I am." ”
Seeing that the matter had been settled, Li Muyun patted his ass and got up and said, "Okay, since that's the case, then I'll go, remember, after three days, let your people send things over." ”
Yuan Tiangang laughed with him, and got up to stay: "Don't stay for a while?" ”
Li Muyun walked out and dropped a sentence: "If I sit for a while longer, I'm afraid you'll cry, and besides, where do you still have the heart to chat with me now, I'm afraid your mind will fly long ago, right?" ”
In fact, no matter who it is, when encountering such a thing, basically he will not have the heart to continue chatting with a guy who wants to pay for it, Yuan Tiangang is no exception, after learning the specific situation of the Religious Management Committee, this old Taoist priest just wants to quickly recruit people and release the news.
A vice president and four permanent directors think that they will not have a small say in this religious management committee, since the matter of one-piece food payment is irretrievable for Daomen, it is better to make good use of it and exchange some benefits for yourself.
Of course, in addition to these, who will hold the positions of the four permanent directors is also something that needs to be discussed, after all, there are also many factions in the Daomen, and there are no less than ten sects together, and how to allocate four places for so many sects is also a very headache.
It's just that these things have nothing to do with Li Muyun, and if he gets the Daomen, he still needs to deal with the Buddhism, but compared with the Daomen, those monks are much more difficult to deal with, and they can't achieve their goals through normal channels.
So, the next night, the three fat men were recruited back from the mountains by Li Muyun, this guy has been building roads and houses in the mountains for nearly half a year, almost isolated from the world, if it weren't for Li Muyun sending someone to find him, he wouldn't know that his very promising friend had come back from the war.
"How? Comfortable life in the mountains, right? When Li Muyun saw the fat man, he slapped him twice on the belly 'affectionately', and the three fat men trembled with fat all over their bodies.
The fat man simply gave up after dodging a few times without dodging, let Li Muyun pat it a few times, and said angrily: "Comfortable fart, why don't you stay in the mountains for half a year." ”
"Cut, Lao Tzu is not much better than you, don't think that you are the only one staying in the mountains, compared to the forests that Lao Tzu drilled, you are simply paradise here." Li Muyun complained, and then asked, "How is it, how is the house built?" ”
"What else, the road is very difficult to repair, the amount of gunpowder is limited, and it can't be repaired far in a day, as for the house, the road has not been repaired, and you still count on the house?" The three fat men chattered crookedly, throwing themselves into Li Muyun's recliner, and the rattan recliner let out an overwhelmed moan.
"Okay, don't complain, what kind of cultivation is what it is, anyway, we're not in a hurry." Li Muyun's recliner was occupied by someone and there was no place to sit, so he could only find an ordinary chair to sit down at random, staring at the fat man with his eyes shining, not knowing what he was thinking.
The third fat man was a little hairy, struggled to raise his head, and said to Li Muyun: "Why are you looking at Lao Tzu like this?" Is there any dirty thought in your mind? ”
"Dirty fart, I look at you and feel dirty." Li Muyun almost crooked his nose by the fat man, glared at him and said: "I'll give you a task, tomorrow I will build cement kilns for Lao Tzu on the side of all the monks' temples, and build as many kilns as there are temples, do you know?" ”
"What are you doing? Have money and nowhere to spend it? The three fat men frowned.
"Phew, can you speak human words?" Li Muyun rolled his eyes and continued: "After the cement kiln is done, you will burn it for Lao Tzu, and you will burn it desperately, and Lao Tzu will not believe that those monks can stand this." ”
The three fat men looked at Li Muyun dumbfounded, and held back a sentence for a while: "I said Muyun, you are too ruthless, right?" ”
Li Muyun snorted coldly: "Ruthless? It's far away, Lao Tzu hasn't repaired the steel mill and coke kiln yet, they are all repaired, and Lao Tzu doesn't believe that they don't cry! ”
You must know that no matter what kiln it is, as long as it is fire, pollution is indispensable, and as soon as the cement kiln burns, a large amount of dust will cover the sky, and people and beasts will retreat within a radius of five miles.
This is especially true of coke kilns, where a large amount of coal ash accompanied by soot can turn a white European into a black African in a single day, and its power is only stronger than that of a cement kiln.
As for the iron and steel plant, not to mention, there is no grass within a radius of twenty miles, don't ask anything, the steel plant in later generations has actually improved the process I don't know how many times, and the pollution caused by iron smelting in the earthen kiln is definitely more than a hundred times more evil than in modern times.
Of course, this is also because the steel plant needs too many raw materials, and it is really inconvenient to transport, otherwise Li Muyun really doesn't mind getting a few more.
But even so, half a month later, those monks finally couldn't stand it, the pollution caused by a large amount of dust was unreasonable, the well in the temple was always floating with a layer of suspended solids, and there were always countless gray balls in the nostrils, and if the shiny bald head was not wiped for half an hour, it would immediately turn black.
Under such conditions, not to mention people, even the Buddha has a tendency to run rampant, and those monks gathered together after enduring it for five days, found the three fat people, and wanted to ask for an explanation from him.
