Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Influence of Niu Ye
On the way back, the peddler kept holding back a question: "Brother Li, what I want to know is that you didn't have any money on you, how did you succeed in such a short period of time?" ā
Li Er's face was proud, "Hehe, this is a secret"
The peddler pointed at Li Er, "Virtue, then ask one last question, I know so many secrets about you, you won't kill people, right?" ā
Li Er glanced at the hawker, "If you use your fingers to make a blind gesture again, I can't guarantee it."
The peddler hurriedly accompanied the smiling face, "A momentary mistake, Brother Li rest assured, this matter is guaranteed not to let others know, let's go, let's go back to the palace"
After a short stay in Luoyang, Li Er took a boat down the Yellow River and turned the Grand Canal to the north, and the peddler who saw this trip was puzzled, "Your Majesty, follow your way, let's go to Goguryeo, Li Ji and they are all about to catch Quangai Suwen."
Li Er patted the seat under his buttocks, "Isn't that right, I saved a lot of heart, isn't it?"
The hawker said, "This is what you call the royal conquest"
Li Er looked at the vendor and smiled, "You are still tender, the royal drive is just to make a show, I went to the front line just to encourage the soldiers, there is no need to really lead the troops to kill the enemy, that will make my subordinates feel that I don't trust them"
The peddler changed his thumb to Li Er this time, "Suit, by the way, I heard the war report, you arranged for someone to contact Silla as a helper, I just want to know what Your Majesty thinks, is it possible that you have taken a fancy to Queen Seondeok?" ā
Li Er smiled very ambiguously, "If you marry a woman, you can make the soldiers bleed less, why don't I do it"
"You're quite Qianlong"
The eldest grandson Wuji asked, "What do you mean?" ā
Li Er waved his hand, "Don't mention him, a fool. The peddler swallowed and foamed, this is the evaluation of one emperor through the ages to another emperor through the ages, if there is a chance, I have to say this to Qianlong, and see what Qianlong thinks of Li Er!
The days on the ship were very boring, but fortunately, the hawker could take the time to go home and have a lively time with his daughter-in-law, and it was not so empty, and after more than a month, the fleet arrived in Fanyang, which has become a large base, full of soldiers and people, sending a steady stream of military funds to the front line!
After landing on the shore, a local chief official came to pick up the driver, for these people, Li Er didn't talk so well with the hawkers, looking at the various battle reports and bills of materials sent below with a cold face, and arranging some things from time to time, the hawkers couldn't understand anyway, so it was better to go out for a walk.

Although I have come to Fanyang more than once over the years, every time I come to the hawkers, I feel that there are great changes here, such as the time of the Fanyang Iron Works in the city, there are homeless people who come to find work everywhere, and later the Fanyang Iron Works has become famous, and the merchants from all over the country who pour materials fill the streets and alleys of Fanyang.
After Lao Xie instigated Li Er to issue a slave arrest decree, Fan Yang, as the largest slave trading market in the north, was full of robbers and bandits with a blank face, with strings of unkempt slaves behind him, looking so bloody!
But no matter how the people who come and go, Fan Yang has one thing that remains the same, that is, the cow totem that can be seen everywhere, because the hawker was famous in Fan Yang and brought down the Lu family, so the people of Fan Yang are very in awe and convinced of the hawker, at first it was for the real person's ancestral hall, but the hawker felt unlucky, and ordered rectification, and then the people thought about it, let's take the cow as a god, so today's Fanyang Taoist temples are good, and the people are at home, all of them are a cow of different shapes!
The hawker was afraid of being recognized, so he walked on the street in a Tang costume, and experienced the city that had almost ruined him, looking at today's prosperous Fan Yang, the hawker suddenly felt that he was very great, according to other people's temper, he must have demolished Fan Yang, but he actually built it, and he was a little excited to think about it!
After a turn in the city, the hawker touched the first place where he came to Fan Yang with the eight hundred chengguan, a Taoist temple outside the city, this Taoist temple has now been renovated by the Taoist priests, even in the atmosphere shrouded in war, the Taoist temple is still full of incense!
Standing outside the mountain gate of the Taoist temple, the hawker wordlessly touched the two big green cows at the door, and if he continues like this, he is afraid that he will really be high.
A sweeping layman at the door saw the hawker's movements and quickly stopped, "Who, don't touch it if it's okay"
The hawker smiled embarrassedly at the layman, "I'm sorry, my hands are itchy for a while, but I heard people say that anyone who has touched the sacred cow in Fanyang must be lucky, so I also want to ask for a good fortune, this legend is true, right?" ā
When the layman heard the hawker's explanation, he was immediately happy, "Then you can talk about it, I don't know if you have a local accent, I'm afraid you don't know, this green cow is the incarnation of the national teacher, although it is said that the national teacher has been in Chang'an, but to put it mildly, Fan Yang is the place where the national teacher made his fortune, you must know that the Lu family was looking for thorns at that time, and we witnessed the national teacher inviting the gods, so the entire Fan Yang and even Hebei are in awe of the national teacher."
The vendor smiled, "I see, thank you for the advice, by the way, I want to go in and put incense on it, how can I sell it?" ā
The layman stood up straight, "How can you speak, it costs money to incense in the Taoist temple?" You look down on the Taoists, don't you? ā
The vendor waved his hand again and again, "I misunderstood, I've been overseas, I don't know our rules, I know that overseas countries that believe in Buddhism, you have to give money to burn incense and worship Buddha, don't you mind"
After listening to this, the layman suddenly realized, "I said, those monks deserve to live in us, burning incense is all based on sincerity, and collecting money from people, it's really shameless."
As he spoke, the layman went to a small pavilion near the mountain gate and brought a handful of incense and a few delicately folded gold ingots to the vendor: "Oh, take it, everyone who comes to the incense can get these things for free, remember it in the future, if you want to believe it, don't believe in the bald head, it's unreliable"
The hawker held the incense to the layman and arched his hand, "Thank you for your advice."
The layman waved his hand, "Hurry up and go in, it's almost noon, at this time the incense is the most spiritual, don't delay the hour"
The hawker said goodbye to the layman, came to the temple, just entered the door and saw a huge incense burner, in front of the pile of believers kneeling on the ground three kneels and nine bows, the hawker is also ready to worship, a look of worship is happy, a mud pinched face of immodest self.
At that moment, the hawker was not happy, and pulled a monk who was incense next to him, "I remember that the national teacher didn't say that he was not allowed to worship him, why is there a statue of the national teacher?" ā
The layman rolled his eyes at the vendor, "You don't understand this, the national teacher means that it is not allowed to build a Taoist temple alone to worship him, but there is more than one statue of the national teacher in this view, everyone can worship whoever they want, and this does not violate the rules of the national teacher."
I went, the hawker really admired the sharpness of the Chinese people to take advantage of the loopholes, such a bullish statement can live out in vain, pinching the nose, the hawker bypassed his statue, and went directly to the last courtyard of the Taoist temple, where the worship is Sanqing Taishang, the hawker in front of the Sanqing incense!
"Sanqing is above, the disciple promised to reshape the golden body for you, and today the promise has been fulfilled, I hope Sanqing knows, oh, by the way, my statue outside is not my idea, you take care of it"
After the peddler finished speaking, he inserted the incense into the incense burner, and someone beside him said in a loud voice, "Immeasurable Tianzun, the national teacher is not harmed" (to be continued.) )
