Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was August 389 AD. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

With the joint efforts of the Metropolitan Protectorate and local governments, the counties and counties in Hexi finally completed the planning and oral teaching of fields.

As a result, the situation in Hexi was finally completely stabilized.

The bandits and routs that were originally a disaster in the place were gradually eliminated by the box army and the government soldiers, and the people finally ushered in a peaceful life.

At this time, his wife Guo Yuan and Yang Han also arrived in Guzang smoothly.

And this also marks the official completion of the handover between Gaochang and Guzang, and Guzang will become the new political center of Hexi.

……

Guo Yuan is still so glamorous, charming and lovely, a little less youthful than before getting married, and more mature and sultry charm.

Guo Yuan, who was tightly wrapped in silk yarn all over his body, was now looking at Wei Shuo with a smile.

Wei Shuo crossed the threshold, rushed forward with an arrow step, and hugged his wife tightly into his arms.

The sudden enthusiasm made Guo Yuan feel quite uncomfortable, and her face was blushing.

She tried to push with her hand a few times, but found that she couldn't push, so she had to let Wei Shuo hold her in his arms.

Carefully lifting the veil, a bright and brilliant face appeared in front of Wei Shuo's eyes.

Yuan Lang's ruddy face, like a ripe apple, arouses reverie.

The small mouth is slightly open, a pair of crescent-like eyes are tightly closed, and the slender eyelashes are gently fanning, showing that the beauty is not at peace at the moment.

"Madame has arrived safely, and my husband is finally relieved." Wei Shuo whispered in his wife's ear.

Listening to her husband's warm words, Guo Yuan was moved, she smiled, let go of her restraints, and hugged Wei Shuo tightly.

At this moment, the world seemed to stop, and I don't know how long it took, Wei Shuo suddenly found that he and his wife were still standing at the door, and then he remembered to let his wife enter the house.

Wei Shuo introduced the situation of Wei Mansion to Guo Yuan, and asked his wife what he had seen on the way.

"At present, Hexi has just been recovered, although it is generally safe, but there are still many bandits who are causing trouble, and Madame's road is still smooth?"

"There are a large number of guards accompanying him to protect him, and the husband is prestigious, which guy who is not long-eyed dares to break ground on Tai Sui's head?"

"Well, it's okay. When passing through Dunhuang, did you ever visit your father-in-law and mother-in-law? ”

"Look at it, it's just ......" Speaking of this, Guo Yuan wanted to speak and stopped, obviously there was something unspeakable.

"Just what?"

"It's just that someone was talking nonsense in front of the concubine, and the concubine ignored it, but I didn't expect them to bewitch their father again, and who knew that they would be scolded by their father again."

"Hmph, don't pay attention to these people who chew the root of the tongue, Madame will naturally stop after a long time."

"Alas, some people always want to take shortcuts, and don't want to think that shortcuts are easy to take?"

"In short, no matter who says anything to you, Madame doesn't pay attention to it."

"The concubine understands."

Recently, Hexi has indeed been a bit chaotic, not only in terms of government affairs and military affairs.

There are even some cows, ghosts, snakes and gods who have appeared one after another, and some people are openly and secretly encouraging Wei Shuo to be called the king of the system, and even the Guo family is ready to move.

Fortunately, Guo Yu is generally knowledgeable, Guo Yuan is smart, and knows what to mix with and what not to ask, so he can suppress Guo.

In this dark tide, the most active people are the frustrated people in Hexi, who hope to attract Wei Shuo's attention.

It's just that everyone underestimated Wei Shuo's determination, and in the face of the outside world's gossip to confuse the public, he was unmoved, and still insisted on using the name of Dadu to protect his name.

In the face of the advice and persuasion of some subordinates, Wei Shuo easily resolved it with the nine-character mantra of Ming Taizu.

Since then, the nine-character mantra of 'building a high wall, accumulating grain, and slowly becoming king' has become the highest strategic policy in Hexi.

……

To say that Wei Shuo entered Hexi, in addition to the greatest loss of the family, the power of Buddhism was also greatly weakened.

Under the pretext that Buddhism was involved in the rebellion, Wei Shuo ordered a thorough investigation of the monasteries.

If the monastery did not comply with the rules, it was banned by the government, closed down, and ordered the monks to return to the laity.

Immediately afterwards, he accused the Buddhists of not producing but only consuming money and food, so he ordered to limit the number of monasteries and the scale of monks and nuns.

After a series of blows, Buddhism, which had originally flourished, soon declined, and its power shrank by half compared to before.

In order to recover the decline, a large number of Buddhist monks asked to see Wei Shuo one after another, trying to persuade him to change his attention.

"My lord, Master Kumarosh has been waiting for a few days, and you really haven't seen him?"

"Oh, that's annoying." Wei Shuo put his hand to his forehead and complained casually.

He thought about it carefully, and it was not a way to drag it out all the time, anyway, there was nothing left and right, so he might as well meet Kumarosh.

"I can see it, these monks have made up their minds to see me."

"Well, let's see all the masters today and see what they have to say."

"Meng Xun, you go and invite all the masters in."

After receiving the order, he immediately turned and left.

In fact, he has never understood why Dadu Hu is so disgusted with Buddhism.

Anyway, in his opinion, Buddhism is very good, and it is conducive to controlling the people under his rule, and his ideas are the same as those of many Hulu monarchs in history.

Historically, Buddhism was able to develop during the two Jin Dynasty, which was related to the great support of Hulu monarchs such as Shi Le, Shi Hu, Fu Jian, and Yao Xing.

Wei Weishuo knew that once Buddhism became bigger, it would be very harmful.

That's why they spared no effort to suppress Buddhism, hoping to control it within a certain range.

Shao leaned, only to see Fuqu Mengxun leading a group of monks in, and the leader was the famous master Kumarosh.

Wei Shuo deliberately looked at Kumarosh and found that the other party was worthy of being a Buddhist monk, and Zhou's body was full of energy, which made people feel good.

However, even if Wei Shuo understood that Kumarosh was great enough in history, he would not easily change his decision.

After entering, Kumarosh first folded his hands and saluted Wei Shuo, "The poor monk has seen Dadu Hu. ”

"You're welcome, master." Wei Shuo returned the salute with a smile, and he had respect for this great monk.

Next, Kumarosh introduced the eminent monks to Wei Shuo one by one.

And Wei Shuo met with the monks according to the ceremony, and also gave the monks enough face.

"You are all Buddhist monks, I don't know what you are doing here today?"

"The poor monks and others heard that the monastery property will also be included in the scope of taxation, I don't know if this is true or not?"

"It's true, this proposal has passed the Metropolitan Protectorate Resolution, and it will be promulgated and implemented soon."

As soon as Wei Shuo's words came out, the eminent monks present reacted strongly, and they all told Wei Shuo that Buddhism was an outsider and should not be under the control of the secular government.

Of course, Wei Shuo refuted such absurd remarks.

He made it clear to the eminent monks that no one or any force in Hexi could be separated from the jurisdiction of the government.

Unless Buddhism leaves Hexi, it can only be accepted.

"In Hexi, only the families of martyrs who died in battle, or those who have made special honors, can enjoy permanent tax exemption."

"In addition, even the land and caravans under the name of the Bendu Protector have to pay taxes to the government."

"In addition to serving the Buddha and eating fasting and reciting the Buddha, has Erfomen ever made contributions to Hexi? And how can you be rewarded for reactive action? ”

"Compared with those soldiers who fought on the battlefield, farmers who worked hard, gentlemen who taught people, and craftsmen who made instruments, what qualifications do you have to shout?"

"Let's go out and inquire and see who is tax-exempt in Hexi."

"Even the family that used to be arrogant, now doesn't it honestly pay taxes according to the rules?"

These words made the monks speechless.

They also finally understood that in Hexi, there was no way for monasteries to be exempt from taxes.

However, in addition to giving up the tax exemption, the monks entangled in others.

"Okay, since the majority of the protectors have instructed the monasteries to pay taxes, the poor monks and others will do the same."

"But I don't know why the government limits the size of monasteries and monks?"

"At present, the world is in chaos, and the people of Hexi are not making a living."

"Shuo needs someone to farm, someone to be a soldier, someone to do business, but most people choose to become monks."

"Wait and say, in this case, I don't limit Buddhism, how can I develop Hexi? Who's going to fight the world for me? ”

After listening to Wei Shuo's remarks, although the monks were not necessarily convinced, at least they no longer made noise.

Kumarosh thought for a while, then got up and said goodbye to Wei Shuo.

"Master, wait a moment."

"What's the matter with the Metropolitan Protector?"

"I have heard that Master Jiu's Buddhism is exquisite, I wonder if he will have the opportunity to visit and ask for advice one day?"

"Most of them have their hearts to the Buddha, and the poor monks should try their best to teach."

Wei Shuo proposed to visit Kumarosh, not because he believed in Buddhism, but because he thought that he would inevitably recruit some Hu talents like Fuqu Mengxun in the future.

And these Hu people believe in Buddhism more, and keep Kumarosh, so that they can deal with the Hu people in the future.

When other eminent monks saw this scene, they couldn't help but secretly rejoice in their hearts, and felt that they could take the opportunity to develop Wei Shuo into a believer.
