Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Struggle for the Fields III

Yang Chengzu was not a history lover in his previous life, and he had a limited understanding of the history of the Ming Dynasty, just because he was a Peking Opera actor, Yu Xiwen knew very well, and he probably knew Zhengde, Jiajing and others and some historical powers. But he has an impression of the name Tao Zhongwen.

When he heard others talk about Emperor Jiajing, he pointed out that one of his absurd things was to let Shao Yuanjie and Tao Zhongwen, two Taoist priests, serve as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites. However, according to Yang Chengzu's analysis of the memory of the current body, the two Taoist priests only enjoy the treatment of Shangshu, and they have the title of Shangshu of the Ministry of Etiquette.

After all, for ordinary people, there is still a lot of pressure to understand the Ming Dynasty's titles, actual awards, and court officials.

But no matter what, this Tao Zhongwen is a chess piece in the future Ming court, in other words, he is a cronie of the future emperor, how can he mix up this unlucky virtue now? Tao Zhongwen was afraid that the other party would look down on him, so he hurriedly said:

"Speaking of which, Poor Dao is actually a person in the government, and the manager of the household in Huangmei County, Huguang, is also a member of the economic system. It's just because I love the way of the gods and don't want to be bound by the world, so I hang up my crown and go around the world, just to get the right result as soon as I become an immortal. ”

"The officials are not appropriate, to be immortals, Taoist, under is the brocade cloth, since you are a person in the officialdom, you should know what kind of food we eat. Do you find it useful to tell me lies? ”

The sky was dark, and Tao Zhongwen's face couldn't be seen, but he was silent for a moment before he said: "Actually, this drink and a peck are all days." is really the county order bastard, obviously he can't figure out the situation, but he has to put the deficit on the poor road, how can there be such a reason in this world? ”

He loves fairy magic, and he is not very serious in official affairs, and in this era, the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty has begun to be lazy. The county magistrate took the master out to go out in the wind and snow, not to do business, and to fall into the title of leniency and love for the people, compared to the county that is focused on work, I don't know how much better the wind review.

However, there is a premise for this, that is, the officials below are competent, and it cannot be said that the chief officer is free, and the officials below are also doing the same, so there will be big problems.

There was a big mistake in Tao Zhongwen's account, and he lost seven or eight of his family property to compensate for this loss, and he lost his errand, so he had to travel around, but at present, the overall Daomen is not prosperous, that is, he is traveling all over the world, and it is a big problem to entangle, so he has to start a price reduction operation, and even take over the work of the soul.

This is not to say that Daomen cannot be exceeded, for example, in another time and space, since the Qing Dynasty, Daomen has gradually undertaken the work of excess. But at the moment in the Ming Dynasty, there are really not many Taoist priests to do this, and he chose to grab business with monks in Henan, where Buddhism is extremely prosperous and powerful, and even Yang Chengzu has to admire his courage.

Tao Zhongwen said: "I originally wanted to enter Beijing, share the worries of the Son of Heaven, and contribute to the imperial court. I didn't know that those bald heads controlled the way, and I had no way to see them at all. Master Yang, you Jinyiwei can secretly play long live, go straight to the king, and you don't have to go through the political secretary, otherwise, can you help me? As long as this thing is done, long live it for me, I will definitely have a good reward for Master Yang. ”

"There's no urgency in this matter, now that the Heavenly Family believes in the Buddha, you are not very interested in the canons of the Daomen. You go and finish this ritual first, and then we'll have something to say. I went to interrogate the monks and asked them what they meant. ”

Tao Zhongwen said: "There are few relatives and friends in the second half of the night, it's nothing to delay this matter for a while, I'll go to the trial with you, I am also from a public family, and I am not a layman in this way of interrogation." Besides, Poor Dao can write a good hand, and he is a veteran in recording confessions, and he can help you. By the way, he beat the bald donkeys, and vented the evil anger in his heart. ”

Yang Chengzu said in his heart: It's fake that you help me, it's true that you want to beat people. Shaking his head and said: "It's true that you go to the undead with peace of mind first, I've finished the confession here, and then you fight slowly, there is always time." ”

The Tie family doesn't have any torture tools, but these young people are all learned from the brocade family, who hasn't had a few ancestral crafts? Because of its simplicity, it is more than enough to deal with a few monks who have never seen the world. And the brocade clothes are different from the officials, and they don't talk about what kind of bamboo boards beat people, and they are dedicated to greeting to the painful place, and a few monks shouted like killing pigs, and the two big punishments were useless, and they already shouted: "There are tricks, there are tricks." ”

It turned out that this group of monks were all monks of Chengfu Temple, and they came to Xiaotiezhuang to promote Buddhism and protect the monks' property with the abbot's decree. At present, in order to allow the monks to contribute wholeheartedly to the temple, Chengfu Temple has a lot of reward mechanisms, such as if they can take back the 30 acres of land, 30% of the rent of the 30 acres of land will belong to them, and they can also enjoy a one-day trip to Wuzhu'an reimbursed by public funds, and learn Tibetan Buddhism with Shitai.

It is said that it is safest to hand over this job to the warrior monk, but if it is divided among multiple people, isn't the profit even thinner? Besides, if you want to come to the Tie family, you are just an orphan girl and a widow, and the popularity of Tie Zhongying is like that, the Tie family clan is not a tenant of Chengfu Temple, and they have no good impression of the Tie family, so there is no problem in going by yourself.

But when I arrived at the place, I first met a god-like brocade guard at the back door, and then saw a Taoist priest who was overtaking the soul of the dead on it, which was too deceitful. Put aside how much the Dharma will earn from the transcendent soul, this is the traditional sphere of influence of monks, how can Taoist priests be allowed to invade? It is a matter of legal system, which cannot be taken lightly, and only with an iron fist to protect the dignity of Buddhism. I didn't want to be unfavorable in the past year, but I was tied up by this group of brocade clothes again

Yang Chengzu said: "What methods did you think of this time to collect the land, give me an explanation, if anyone says a word less, you can be careful about the means of the official." Teach you to be good, none of these people I brought are full-time Jinyi positions, all of them are surplus soldiers, and they are not included in the establishment. If you are killed, the most you can do is to dismiss them, but they don't have a military position, so what is there to reform? Today, tomorrow, if you are willing to take your own lives and exchange them for a surplus status, I have no opinion. ”

After all, these monks are all monks, where do they have the courage, at the moment they confess everything they know, just ask Yang Chengzu to raise his noble hand, and never kill him. There was also a monk who was a little tougher, "Master Yang, you Jinyi Tiqi should not meddle in local affairs, especially the Tie family is from my Shaolin Sect, you interfere indiscriminately, I am afraid that it will make a big fuss in the future, and no one will look good on their faces." If there is any industrial dispute, it should be resolved by the county yamen, not by your Jinyiwei. ”

Yang Chengzu nodded and said, "That's good!" This cultural monk is different from the warrior monk, when it comes to reasoning, the head is the Tao, and what he says is quite reasonable. Listen to me, this master is a profound cultivator, and he can't be treated the same as ordinary monks, so I'll serve me hard tonight, as long as I don't kill him, I can do anything. I'll go outside to talk to your little master, and when Tao Daoye comes back, this monk will hand it over to him to vent his anger. ”

After speaking, he kicked a monk in the stomach again, "I think you are familiar, are you among the four people at the back door?" No? You're saying that the official admitted his mistake, come on, this is also a bit heavier for me. ”
