"Mr. Wei, have you heard of Qucheng County?" Zhang Baoer asked. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Of course I've heard of it!" Wei Xianyun nodded and said: "Qucheng County in Jiangzhou is very famous in Datang, Qucheng is located in a remote area, there is no post road, and the people are poor. In addition, the mountains are high and the forests are dense, and bandits are rampant. In addition, several major clans have been fighting for many years, and people have to die every year, which can be described as a lot of hard work to return, and the people are not happy! ”

Speaking of this, Wei Xianyun said strangely: "Bao'er, why did you think of asking such a place?" ”

"Oh, yesterday I chatted with Gu'er, and I heard him talk about this place, I was very interested, and I wanted to know about it!" Zhang Bao'er then asked, "Didn't the imperial court think about rectifying the chaotic situation in Qujiang?" ”

"Why is there no rectification? But how easy is that? Wei Xianyun sighed and said: "The imperial court sent an army to clear out the bandits, but as soon as the army left, these people hid, and the army could not even find a shadow when they entered the mountains. As soon as the army withdrew, these people came out again and continued to plague the people, and so on again and again, the army could not do anything about them! For the clan fight, the government has no choice, no matter which side dies, it will not report the lawsuit, but try to retaliate in the next fight. If the people don't sue the officials and don't hold them accountable, the government can't do anything about them. The Jiangzhou government once suggested to the imperial court that the clans of Qucheng be moved out, and the imperial court agreed. However, when it was time to really move the real thing, none of their clans was willing to leave their homeland, and in the end they had to give up. ”

"There are so many officials in the imperial court, there is no way to take a small Qucheng?" Zhang Baoer sighed with emotion.

"Yes! The imperial court also sent a lot of capable officials to Qucheng to serve, but all of them returned with many feathers, like a marquee, at most a year, there were five consecutive county commanders, so that now no one is willing to go to Qucheng to take office. ”

Zhang Baoer was thoughtful.

Wei Xianyun was puzzled: "Bao'er, don't you want to ......?"

Zhang Bao'er smiled slightly: "I can't say it now, I'll think about it again!" ”

……

"Zhang Gongzi, you are looking for me, but the matter of money is eyebrow-raising?" Yao Chong's eyes lit up when he saw Zhang Baoer.

"Naturally, I have eyebrows, otherwise how dare I see you Lao Yao!" Zhang Bao'er didn't have a good airway.

Yao Chong's face was happy, and he kept rubbing his hands: "That dare is good, that dare is good!" ”

After that, Zhang Bao'er asked people to bring up the three boxes of jewels that had seized the Master of Mercy, Yao Chong saw it, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, but soon his face became sad: "Although this money can solve the urgent need, it is far from enough!" ”

Zhang Bao'er glanced at Yao Chong, "I knew that you would cry poor, I still have a way!" ”

"You say!"

"Old Yao, come here with your ears!"

……

According to Zhang Bao'er's wishes, Wang Shouyi imprisoned Master Mercy in a secret place.

At this time, Yao Chong was interrogating the Master of Compassion.

"Master of Mercy, according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, you should have been beheaded, and you are highly respected among the people of Luzhou, and this assassin has decided to let you go!" Yao Chong is serious.

"Ahh The Master of Compassion was pleasantly surprised: "The poor monk thanked Lord Thorn Shi. ”

Yao Chong's voice changed and said, "But you have to do Ben Thorn Shi a favor!" ”

"Lord Thorn Shi, you say, as long as I can do it, I will never give up!" The Master of Compassion is busy answering the path.

"There's no need to die, let me tell you the truth, now that the treasury is empty, it's hard for me to do it. As long as the master comes forward to perform a ritual of the living Buddha's ascension to heaven, and asks the people to donate some money and materials. This is equivalent to you doing me a great favor, and I will naturally let you go quietly! ”

When the Master of Compassion heard that it was just a trivial matter, he said with a full mouth: "Lord Assassin, this matter is wrapped up in the poor monk!" ”

In order to dispel the concerns of the Master of Compassion, Yao Chongzheng said: "I will dig a tunnel under the altar, and when the fire is lit, you will come out of the tunnel to keep you safe." ”

Yao Chong took the Master of Compassion to the altar and walked through it on the spot, and let him practice how to escape a few times, and then set a good day and an auspicious day.

The news of the Master of Compassion sitting on the altar to preach quickly spread throughout Luzhou City, and on the day of the opening of the altar, even the people of other states and counties came to pray for blessings and donate money, and tens of thousands of taels of silver had been collected in just three days!

On the last day, I saw the Master of Compassion sitting on the altar with a high profile, and below was a group of little monks singing in unison, so lively!

After the lecture was finished, I heard someone shouting; The Living Buddha appeared and lit the fire to greet him!

After the fire was lit, the flames around the altar soon burst into flames, and it was impossible to see the figure of the Master of Compassion at all, and the pious people continued to chant the living Buddha.

The Master of Compassion watched the actions of the people through the firelight, smiled slightly, got up and prepared to leave the altar according to the previous drill, but he didn't expect that the entrance to the tunnel had already been blocked.

After the fire was extinguished, only a few relics were left on the altar, and the people really believed that the living Buddha had ascended to heaven.

The Master of Mercy exchanged a human life for relief money, and Yao Chong's eyebrow urgency was solved, which can be regarded as a good deed before he died.

These days, Zhang Baoer is really busy.

……

With the introduction of Turkic thoroughbred horses and artisans brought from the Turks, the scale of the horse farm continued to expand, but the number of child slaves decreased. Zhang Baoer has money, but the slave market in Luzhou is so big, how many child slaves can he buy? You can only buy it in other states and counties.

However, you can't let yourself come forward every time, right?

He is not at ease when he hands it over to others, after all, these child slaves he bought are the team he will rely on in the future, and he must be loyal. This problem gave Zhang Baoer a headache.

Jiang Xiaotong saw that Zhang Bao'er was frowning, and was very distressed, so he hurriedly asked the reason.

Zhang Baoer didn't hide it from her, and brought about the troubles she encountered one by one.

Of course, Jiang Xiaotong knew that the stakes were high, but he was at a loss to help, so he had to propose: "Otherwise, you go and ask Mr. Wei for advice, maybe he will have a good idea!" ”

Zhang Bao'er nodded: "There can only be this!" ”

Sana said suddenly. "Bao'er, I have a solution, I don't know if it's useful!"

Jiang Xiaotong cheered for Suanna and said, "Sister Suanna, let's talk about it, is it useful to let Bao'er take her own time!" ”

Hearing Jiang Xiaotong's words, Suanna was much more confident, and she said boldly: "When I was herding sheep on the grassland, there were hundreds of them, if you want every sheep to care, wouldn't you be tired to death." There is a head in every flock, and all the other sheep listen to the head, so I only have to take care of the head, and the flock will all listen to me! ”

After hearing this, Zhang Bao'er already understood what Suanna meant, and couldn't help cheering: "Suanna, your idea is so good!" ”
