Yuanjue Temple is located in Fushun city east twenty miles away from a nameless hill, it is said that the early years of the Dynasty is just a dilapidated land temple, the incense is scarce, there is only a temple to watch the door and sweep the temple, later the temple Zhu died of old age, the land temple has become a thief's nest, it is really chaotic for more than a hundred years. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Wait until the Zhengde years, a thief who steals to the family of Daling, who is both the current manager and the county official, and the county magistrate at that time will play the same official as the official, and then use the inspection department, and transfer the guard army, and catch and kill the thieves in the land temple cleanly.

Idle for a few years, it looks like a ruined house, there is a master who travels all over the world but walks here, sleeps in the land temple at night, and gets up the next day to say that the Buddha is dreaming, and instructs him to build a temple here. The mage turned around the fate, more than ten years of hard work to have a rough scale, and when he passed away, the Yuanjue Temple was basically not much different from today.

Now presiding over the Yuanjue Temple, is a great monk named Huiming, compassionate, proficient in Buddhism, not only Fushun, is in the city of Yibin, but also famous. The eighth Buddha's birthday in early April is even more grand, since the beginning of the sixth month, there are constantly people rushing to the Yuanjue Temple, the temple is used for pilgrims to stay in the guest rooms are full, and some people simply set up a shed around the temple temporarily, just ask for the Buddha's birthday day to be able to bathe in the Buddha's light early.

Chen and his daughter naturally did not need to build a shed outside the temple, Li Yongzhong personally sent them to the Yuanjue Temple, picked the best guest room in the temple to live in, and lived with ten personal soldiers led by Chen Mingjiang, and the rest of the people were scattered outside the temple - although Chen always felt that his righteous son was too trivial and made a big fuss, but he was a person who regarded the military order as a big thing, and he had no choice but to be like an elm pimple, Chen had no choice but to comply with the request of the righteous son.

In the past few days in Fushun, even though Chen still had doubts about his son-in-law, he has changed his perception now. Since the day they arrived in Fushun, there is no place that is not considerate, no place is not thoughtful, not only the next morning to visit the inn in person, but also worried about the matter, invited his sister-in-law to accompany them, a meeting, not to mention how decent, but also polite and thoughtful, the two families have a good impression.

Sister-in-law Chen also made a special trip to talk to him earnestly: "Zhongguan'er is good, but this husband and wife are no better than others, and the four words of respecting each other are Taoist words to coax people," she smiled sadly, and the expression on her face was complicated for a while, "Help each other, love and love, and life can last a long time." ”

Li Yongzhong was silent, got up for a moment and respectfully bowed to his sister-in-law: "Be taught." ”

The arrival of his mother-in-law and fiancée did little to change Lee's life. This period of time coincided with the busy affairs of the well field, not only him, but also Wang Huanzhi, the master of salt, Li Sanzhong, the chief steward of the Li Mansion, He Tai, the guard manager, and several of Li Yongzhong's henchmen and generals were all busy, and they were all boiling blue and black at the moment, and the whites of their eyes were full of bloodshots. The world is not quiet, the government is urging the day by day, in addition to the usual for the stove households to pay the color of the silver, and cleverly set up all kinds of names, fortunately, the Li family as early as the beginning of the year opened a few new wells with a lot of halogen, and changed an old well to halogen into gas, and recruited dozens of young Zhuang teachers to be water bearers, which was barely supported.

"Zhong Guan'er, this is not a long-term solution." After a hard day's work, Wang Huanzhi sat down in the outer study, took a sip of hot tea, and stretched out his limbs, so comfortable that he sighed. At the age when he knew the destiny of heaven, these days of being busy inside and out, people who were already exhausted, finally finished their work today, and felt that the skeleton of his body was scattered.

Li Sanzhong also sighed. Except for Li Yongbo's courtyard, now he is in charge of the Li family, which is not much different from when Li Qi was alive, but Li Qi was sick in his later years, and he was really unable to control the servants, and his subordinates were lazy for many years.

"These days are harder, each laborer on the well site has more than ten dollars, and the steward has two more dollars." Li Yongzhong was also very tired, but he still folded up his spirit to comfort his subordinates: "After a while, the apportioned salt tax will be paid lightly." As soon as the words fell, he coughed heavily, so frightened that Wutong, who was still outside to order the cook, rushed in in a panic, fortunately, Li Sanzhong was a shrewd person, and quickly brought him water and air, and it took a while to stop, Li Yongzhong leaned on the chair, his face was pale and his sideburns were damp, and his fatigue was exhausted, revealing that the fingers outside the cuffs were skinny, and he really didn't look like a young man with vigor and vigor of seventeen or eighteen.

He Tai couldn't bear to look at it, and couldn't help but persuade him: "Zhongguan'er, there are so many things, where can I finish it?" Zhongguan'er, you're too anxious. ”

He waved the hand that Wutong wanted to help him up, forced himself to sit upright, seemed to let out a long sigh from the depths of his chest, and eased his spirit a little, his eyelids were half-closed, and he looked like he was asleep, and said without a word: "It's not that I'm anxious...... At the well site, there are officials from the salt division coming over every day, and they will transport a bag if they pack a bag, for fear of leaving half a grain of salt at the well site! This is not bad, and it is finally polite, I heard that there are already salt merchants in Changning, but they can't be urged, and the family has fled with a soft one! ”

The three of them looked at each other when they heard this, Wang Huanzhi relieved his spirits, took a sip of tea, rubbed the smooth porcelain with his thin fingers, and sighed: "Yansi, I have been there a few times, Cui Tiju is also embarrassed, in this world, he is also a rare good official, and he still told me that the salt tax that is apportioned cannot be less, otherwise not only us, but even he will have to eat and hang." ”

Several people in the room were silent for a long time, and when the tea cup was cold, Li Yongzhong seemed to be extremely tired, and said softly: "We can't do the affairs of the government, so we can do it while we still have the strength to do it, this is both a danger and an opportunity." I have made up my mind, after paying the tax, I will straighten out the people and horses, and go to Shaanxi first to explore the way! ”

These words lifted the spirits of the other three. He Tai slammed his palms together, moved his eyebrows with joy, and couldn't suppress the excitement on his face, and said, "Zhongguan'er, this is the truth!" Now Yungui has no more profits, but we haven't walked through Shaanxi and Hubei, try it, or the way is unknown! ”

"Hubei will not move for the time being." Wang Huanzhi calmed down from the excitement, he was an old and cautious person, stretched out his finger and dipped his tea in the desktop to write and paint: "Since Jingchu all use Huai salt, and the road out of Sichuan has always been difficult, along the Yangtze River waterway, there are many rapids and rapids along the way, and there are 100,000 mountains separated by land, but it is not too difficult to go to Shaanxi, there is a post road to go." ”

"After all, we are in the eastern corner of Sichuan, which is not as convenient as Jianzhou. There has always been salt in the Hanzhong area of southern Shaanxi," Li Yongzhong pondered for a moment and said: "But it's not very troublesome, now the world is chaotic, if you want to enjoy the food all the time, it is to mention and not to mention, all by their own ability." Walking in Yanyuan is full of risks, and I heard that there are fewer and fewer horse teams willing to go long distances in the Jianzhou area, which is our opportunity. ”

For a while, although it can't be said that they have unloaded the barriers in their hearts, they don't have the depression they had before. Everyone's faces were much more relaxed, and after talking about their son's gossip, Wang Huanzhi and the others were about to say goodbye and leave, Li Yongzhong first said to Li Sanzhong: "You have a lot of business, I won't leave you here, let's get busy first." Then he turned to He Tai and said, "I'll stay with Atai for a while, and you won't be busy leaving first." In the end, he got up to send Wang Huanzhi out: "Master is very tired these days, and now there is no big event, and I will be alive in the next few days, and I will have my own on the well field." ”

Wang Huanzhi repeatedly refused, so he had to respond. Li Yongzhong also instructed Wutong to go to the warehouse to get the best Dendrobium and other temperature tonic medicines, and he must let Wang Huanzhi take him away: "Uncle Wang, you are over half a hundred years old, you can't compare to me and so young, take care of your body, there is a big mess in the well field, and I really expect Uncle Wang to share it with me." He said it sincerely, calling Wang Huanzhi like eating cold watermelon on dog days, and like soaking in a hot spring on a cold day, it is really 3.56 million pores, none of which are inappropriate, and none of them are not stretched.

Watching Wutong send Wang Huanzhi out, Li Yongzhong turned back to the house, He Tai followed behind him, although he had some eyebrows in his heart, but he didn't know what he wanted to say, he remained silent all the way, the two sat down on the chair again, Li Yongzhong called his subordinates to change the residual tea on the table, and made new tea, and when the subordinates retired, Li Yongzhong asked He Tai: "How are the guards trained now?" Can it be used? ”

"Now, excluding the number of people on duty every day, there are sixty-seven people who are ready to use." He Tai cautiously replied: "There are more than 20 people, because the time is too short, in addition to the care of the gate and nursing home, it is impossible to do salt." ”

"Sixty-seven people......" Li Yongzhong pondered for a moment, his brows were loose and tight, and his lips were pursed, obviously uncertain. He Tai really didn't see much like this, and he couldn't help but wonder, he couldn't hide his thoughts, so he simply asked: "Zhongguan'er is there a place where it is difficult to use people?" ”

"Yes." Li Yongzhong replied unexpectedly, "I said before that I would go to Shaanxi to go to salt, but now the manpower is really insufficient. Now there are so many people, they can't go far, I see, when they reach the Hanzhong area, it is the end. ”

He Tai nodded heavily, and it also meant the same thing: "Zhong Guan'er's words are reasonable. He comforted Li Yongzhong again, "We don't think about how far we can go in the morning, it's not bad to be able to go to Hanzhong, this meal is a mouthful, this road is also step by step, today we can go to Hanzhong, tomorrow we can't go to Xi'an Mansion." He Tai has always been optimistic, and no matter how difficult things are, it is as simple as chopping melons and vegetables.

These words really comforted Li Yongzhong. He slapped his forehead, smiled to himself, and laughed at himself: "I don't know what's wrong, I always feel anxious, there are countless things that should be done but not done, and I should think but don't think about it." I was really unsettled. ”

He Taiqi said: "Countless people at Zhongguan'er's age, I'm afraid that even Zhongguan'er hasn't done it, Zhongguan'er really doesn't need to be so anxious. He smiled again: "Although this world is chaotic, but life can always be passed, and stay up, and when Liaodong finishes fighting the Tartars, and the Yiren will be suppressed again, and the court strictly prohibits apportionment and other things, I will wait for the small people to live a better life." ”

Li Yongzhong's eyes darkened. "When Liaodong finishes fighting the Tartars, he will re-suppress the Yiren again" - the wish of the milk brother Atai may be the wish of the vast majority of people in this land of this era who are naïve but rightfully believed, but he looked out the window at a corner of the sky that leaked out of the window, and sighed a long and desperate sigh that no one could hear.
