"Si'er, take out a piece of tea cake brought by Monk Zhijue and cook it with Master Yang," Zheng Lang said. The great monk Zhijue of Shousheng Temple brought thirty tea cakes for Zheng Lang to regard as treasures. It was not harvested in vain, so let Xing'er donate fifty horses of raw silk in the name of incense to Shousheng Temple. so as not to stop the tongue. Be careful, there are indeed many benefits, there are people in the court who oppose some of his actions, but no one disputes his virtue.

Since Yang Anguo came to talk about the temple, Zheng Langsuo said some words in his heart. This is also a loyal elder, it is not Han Qi and Wang Gongchen, so he took out one of the tea cakes and put it in the teapot to boil.

Si'er shook his head and a small fan, and after a while, the tea was fragrant, and Yang Anguo said, "Good tea." ”

"It's better to eat, but also to say Buddhism, I am not evil to Buddhism, some of the virtues of the monks make me feel very kind, the purpose of the old and the two families is not evil, their purpose is to promote the good and eliminate the evil, the old Buddha to educate, Confucianism to govern the country, Legalism to punish evil, is the important four of the country's governance of the country. Why oppose it? ”

"Then the ...... of Governor Zheng"

"You have also seen that not only the Yanwei Temple, but also the various actions of many temples are more excessive than some inferior tyrants. How much money does the temple spend in a year, how many people need to provide for it, and how much tax is reduced for the country. If they are not required to educate the people for the country, they can't even promote good and eliminate evil, what good is this old interpretation? ”

The more proficient the scriptures of Confucianism are, the easier it is for Zheng Lang to convince them.

Yang Anguo is, if there is no accident, at the end of this year, Xiao Song was forced by the national finance, and the book said that there are three redundant and three expenses, but it is not the three redundancies that Zheng Lang said, there are quotas, unlimited members, and one redundancy, that is, redundant officials, and the army does not serve to fight and consumes food and clothing, and two redundant officials. These two redundancies are very one-sided, redundant officials are far more than unlimited members, the salary is too thick, the highest annual salary of the official, Zheng Lang added the miscellaneous and miscellaneous together, and the purchasing power of the salary is equivalent to nearly 3,000 yuan in later generations. If you go crazy, even in later generations, there is no leader of that country who has such a high annual salary. Xiao Song also has a vested interest in this high-salary system, so naturally he won't say it, and he doesn't dare to say it.

Redundant soldiers are not only the box army, but also the forbidden army, and it is appropriate to remove at least half of the forbidden army raised in the capital. The number of soldiers will definitely be reduced, and there will be a huge amount of redundancy to raise hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and all kinds of projects will be built. But the soldiers can still do some things, tinkering for the place, escorting grain and grass, etc., the forbidden soldiers in the capital are raised, and they almost don't do anything, which is more expensive.

The monks say that there are many benefits and indefinite numbers, and the three redundancies are also compared with the redundant soldiers and redundant officials. There are also three fees, and the last section is to make the phase, the festival degree is not subordinate to the unit, and the public is used to help the private family; Please from the present place is not the border, the state has no division, not to build the festival, has been with the section is not allowed to stay close to the basket and the Beijing division, in fact, it is the sequelae left by Zhao Kuangyin, more than set up the envoy and the section of the envoy, the state has no division, ban the establishment of the festival, and the section can not stay in the capital. This admonition has positive significance, the Song Dynasty set up more festivals, and the salary is quite generous, at that time, Zhao Kuangyin was to release the military power with a glass of wine, so he cared for the various pseudonymous festivals, and now it is not needed, and it is time to cancel. The second section is the view of the Jingshi Temple or set up more apprentices, or increase the lawsuit, the food and clothing are given, three times the other places, the tent is called the offering, the land is called the permanent residence, no conscription and no servitude, and the people are full of beetles; Please stop everything, then the two fees are frugal, pointing directly to the temple. The first section is still a temple view, and the monks say that there are many benefits and indefinite numbers, and there are three redundant ones. The dojo is full of Jiao, all in the name of wishing the emperor's birthday and praying for the blessings of the people; It is advisable to take one or two of them, so that they can be cultivated according to this religion, and then they will be spared.

Among the three redundancies and three fees of the Xiao Song Dynasty, three of the six places talk about the disadvantages of the temple.

In addition to Xiao Song, there are many people who realize the disadvantages of the temple, but they are not thorough enough, this is a divine right, it is quite difficult to deal with, and the ruler also needs them, Zheng Lang tried to do it and play a leading role.

Not only the temple, but also did some things, private salt has been cowardly, the other Zheng Lang are intentionally arranged, planted a lot of seeds, sprinkled some fire, whether it can set the prairie on fire, it depends on whether there is anyone to support. Not only do it, but also write books and speak.

Yang Anguo is a very quiet person, but like Xiao Song, he is also a master of scripture and righteousness, not Wen Yanbo, Wen Yanbo is an example among Confucians, not a common surname.

Therefore, after listening to this, Yang Anguo nodded and said, "Yes, but Governor Zheng, you are not interested in the Shi family, how can you tell the difference?" ”

It's not just Fubi, Yang Anguo is also worried, there are so many books on Buddhism, scriptures and laws, some great monks are not confused, they can speak the Tao, and they have a good talent, they can write poems, write paintings, play the piano, and almost do anything.

Zheng Lang had not studied before, but now he is holding the Buddha's feet and going to argue, which is irrational.

"Drink tea," the tea has been boiled, after Si'er scraped off the tea foam and scalded the cup, Zheng Lang took the teapot, poured two cups of tea, and said: "This is the spring water I received from Hupao Spring, how about eating this tea?" ”

Lu Yu tea book will be the mountains and rivers listed as the top, the water in the water valley is listed as the second, the water of the waterfall is not available, and the spring water is listed as the top, the river water and the well water are listed as the unideal water source, I don't know if there is a scientific reason, but the spring water and the mountains and rivers in some places are sweet and delicious, far from ordinary water sources can be compared. The water quality in Hangzhou is very poor, and it is not human power to change, but there are many famous springs outside Hangzhou, such as Hupao Spring, Yuquan and Longjing, which are not polluted at this time, and are one of the world's famous water quality.

Zheng Lang often brought back some spring water to make tea.

Taking a sip of tea, Yang Anguo said: "Good tea, good water." ”

"Before I came to Hangzhou, I was also happy and worried, happy that Hangzhou is big, with a large population and rich places, and worried that there are many problems in the big state capital, such as salt, tea, alum, incense, wine supervisors, and temples. Yan: I was worried about the poverty of the small pavilion households, and I didn't like to use harsh law to rule the people, so I was uneasy, but I didn't think about what happened later. Since it has been revealed, the surname Suo will clean it up once. Zhang Daliang was inadvertently implicated, and he couldn't be good, which is the reason why the case is getting bigger and bigger. But it's not in my arrangement, but the temple is in my plan. The truth is also revealed, the so-called Hangzhou will have five or six times the income, that is, the income of the Ping An Prison, which is an external income. It is not possible to conquer all of them by force, there is a sea across the sea, and our dynasty itself is not known for its use of force, and military conquest is an auxiliary way, and it is necessary to use materials to win over, and the latter is the main thing. It's just that compared to the income, the output is very small, but it is this very small output, starting from Hangzhou Port, it will bring a lot of taxes to Hangzhou, increase exports and increase many workshops and industries, and the income of the people will also increase. This is one of the internal governance. And some other ideas, promote my strengths, avoid my shortcomings, I also wrote in the mean, Hangzhou is short is more mountains, less arable land, not like Taipingzhou, once encircled, it will immediately become a big food state. But it has more advantages, there is the convenience of Zhejiang, up to several counties, the convenience of the Grand Canal, the scope of access is wider, and the convenience of the Wuyue Canal, connecting the two states of Yue Ming, is one of the most important waterway transportation hubs in our dynasty. So business is booming. Jan's long is exactly this business. Mountains also have the benefits of mountains, there are many bamboos, I came up with the idea of making bamboo paper, there are many fruit trees, advocating the planting of fruit trees, the mulberry and hemp industry is developed, and the textile process is improved, I brought the weaver girl over, and gradually improved the textile machinery to improve efficiency. However, whether it is mulberry hemp, fruit forests, bamboo paper and maritime trade, the beneficiaries are all third-class and above, and it is difficult for the poor people to benefit. Therefore, I used the method of deed shares to return the land to the poor people in the rivers and lakes, so that the poor people benefited from the water conservancy and were not harmed by the autumn season. It's easy to run a big household, what do I use to win over the temple? As for what is happening in front of me, I have long expected it, so I arranged the White Snake to remind them not to do the Fahai that destroys other people's families. But how many true monks are there? ”

Tell all his thoughts in one go.

Han Qi and Wang Gongchen are here, Zheng Lang won't say it, these two people are very thoughtful, and they may make up some fabrications, even if they are brought to the capital, what they say will make the two of them change their faces beyond recognition. But can I say something to Yang Anguo, back in the capital, Zhao Zhen must ask, what did you see and hear in Hangzhou?

Not only Zhao Zhen asked, but some other ministers also asked, Yang Anguo passed on his words, so it was like this, it was this arrangement, and there would be no misunderstanding. If there is no misunderstanding, and the benefits to the country will be increased, the more support will be obtained.

In May, Jia Changchao said, now the Western Xia arrogant, out of the division of the generals, to leave the court worries, the ministers said that this is not enough to worry, and the country is wide, the savings are not thick, the people are quite poor, it is worrying, since the heavenly sage, there are repeated edicts to save the degree, so that today, there is no implementation. I said this to a few students, and Fan Erlang said that His Majesty's saving has not been seen since ancient times. No, Your Majesty's saving is the amount of your Majesty and the palace, originally I spent very little on the palace, even if Your Majesty did not eat or drink, I couldn't save much. Therefore, there is the words of Jia Changchao. Jia Changchao also said, all the roads in the world, if the things of Beijing, the wealth can be self-sufficient, the right Heshuo of Shaanxi, the year must be supplied, the admirer Huainan Jiangdong dozens of counties, or Jiangnan, Hangzhou is the top priority, although it is very troublesome, but how can I relax? ”

"Good words, I seem to hear the words of the teacher."

"Don't you dare, look at me now, I am wearing a splendid gown, drinking good tea, using good water, living in a good house, the Queen Mother and Her Majesty have always been very fond of the ministers, why don't you do something practical for Your Majesty?"

Yang Anguo was speechless.

After drinking tea, I was very touched to go back, so I excused myself, although we were Qincha, we came to Liangzhejiang to preside over the salt case, and the other cases have nothing to do with us, if you are not satisfied, according to the system, please appeal to the capital. It has nothing to do with us.

Yang Anguo excused himself with words, and Zheng Lang had already begun to arrange the Chongyang meeting.

Jiang Shi Congguang called over and asked, "Let's build a bamboo hut in Xishan tomorrow." ”

"Tomorrow?"

"If you don't match it, you will miss the chrysanthemum flowering period."

"Whoa." Shi Congguang retreated.

The next day, Zheng Lang hired a flower boat on the West Lake, invited three envoys to come to the banquet, and the imperial court issued a holy decree and edict, but there were many implications, while asking the case, and on the other hand, the case was to be judged, and the three envoys were very busy during this time.

However, Zheng Lang is not a person who likes to be polite, he called the three of them over to the banquet, and had other intentions.

After drinking some wine, Zheng Lang saw a small fishing boat, beckoned the fisherman with his hand, and said, "Borrow your boat for a while." ”

The fisherman said in fear: "No, prefect, the boat will capsize." ”

"Let me try." Zheng Lang forcibly boarded it, the boat shook, Zheng Lang actually stood firm, the boat did not capsize, Zheng Lang was interested, and he turned it up and down with his feet, and then re-boarded the painting boat. The fisherman was puzzled and said, "Prefect, you are amazing, this kind of boat can also be controlled well." ”

Fu Bi just laughed, not Zheng Lang Taishen, in order to prepare for the Chongyang Festival, Zheng Lang first learned to indulge in this boat, for which I don't know how many mouthfuls of West Lake water I drank, Fu Bi did not object, standing on the side and watching, gloating while watching.

Then Zheng Lang came up and fought with him.

It can't be said how good Fu Bi is, and he can't take the history books completely seriously, but he is a relatively gentle gentleman, and Zheng Lang's temper is a little too similar, not only Fu Bi, but also Cai Xiang, these gentle gentlemen, are not much rejected by Zheng Lang. Because of the Zhengzhou Poetry Society, Zheng Lang also left a good image in Fu Bi's heart, and with the cooperation during this time, the relationship between the two became very close.

It will be a miracle, and Fubi is looking forward to witnessing it.

But in order not to let the people know, they all chose to study in sparsely populated places at night.

On the painting boat, Zheng Lang said: "Take you to see a place." ”

Swing the boat to the west side of the West Mountain, Shi Congguang is building a bamboo house, the east side is the lakeside, there are large lotus roots on the lakeside, the lotus leaves are lush and dripping, the west side is the West Mountain, the trees on the mountain are lush and dense, the bamboo house has not been built, just start to build, but there is a plaque hanging at the door, on which are two big characters written by Zheng Lang himself, ask Zen.

On the edge of the bamboo house, there are many people carrying large chrysanthemums.

Wang Gongchen was puzzled and asked, "Why is this?" ”

"I want to identify the Buddha, but there are many Buddhist scriptures, I have not studied for a long time, I am afraid that it will not be good, so I plan to spend more than ten days here to study the Buddhist scriptures quietly after the end of the tide in August, so I took a name, called Ask Zen. You see, is it quiet? ”

Wang Gongchen pinched his nose, he couldn't make a sound, he really recognized Buddha.

Zheng Lang picked a big lotus leaf and said: "When Dharma crossed the Yangtze River with a reed leaf, there were not many reeds by the West Lake, but there were many lotus flowers. The lotus flower is not stained by sludge, so it is the purest, and the Buddhists also use the lotus flower as the Buddha seat. I don't know if the Buddha can bless me and cross the West Lake with a lotus leaf. ”

"What, crossing the West Lake with lotus leaves?" Han Qi and Wang Gongchen exclaimed in unison.

"I really want to give it a try, if it happens, I will come here to meditate and study the Buddhist scriptures for a period of time, Chongyang to distinguish the Buddha, if not, this bamboo house will not come."

"This lotus leaf ......" The three Qincha were dumbfounded, and they were dumbfounded.

"What should I do, crossing the lake with a reed, I'm afraid that I don't have the skills of the Dharma ancestor, so I have to retreat to the next best thing and replace it with lotus leaves."

But the three Qincha didn't say a word, what is the difference between using lotus leaves and using a reed?

Zheng Lang was also lamenting in his heart, there was no way, in order to take the lead, he had to drink hundreds of sips of cold water from the West Lake.

Re-onboarded the painting boat, several Meiji looked at Zheng Lang curiously, and the most beautiful of them, Su Yu'er, asked, "Zheng Zhifu, could it be Gewuxue?" ”

This is also one of the famous records of Hangzhou, I have read many poetry books, of course, there are not a few famous people who do not read poetry books, otherwise only appearance, can not become a famous record. But her question was also the thought of the three Qincha, and as soon as they finished asking, the three Qincha looked at Zheng Lang together.

"Isn't it Gewuxue, you try it yourself with a lotus leaf, don't you know?" Zheng Lang didn't answer, but asked rhetorically.

It's equivalent to not saying.

This matter spread quickly, and miraculously it didn't take half a month to reach the capital from that channel.

Something is happening in the capital.

The country needs to use military generals, that is, Kong Dao assists Wang De to use it, saying that Wang De is similar to Zhao Kuangyin, the literati have no ability, and the pen is unparalleled in the world, and the same is true when Di Qing was rectified later. dismissed Wang De from using the official position of the Eastern Mansion, but it was not enough, and Wang Yan was transferred to Hedong to report Wang De and accused Wang De of ordering Fuzhou to follow the Xuanshi horse, and Wang De used the city to use the businessman.

There is nothing wrong with this matter, the imperial court raised a large number of war horses, and prepared a cavalry, but the Central Plains was not suitable for raising horses, and it was rare for the entire Song Dynasty to have any powerful cavalry, until it later occupied the Hehuang region, and a small number of cavalry gradually appeared in the Western Army.

So what does it do to sell to merchants, it is used for arable land.

The goal is good, but it violates the system, the same as Zheng Lang's summer killing, but Wang Deyong is a military general, and he can't be justified clearly, and he can't take it seriously, if it is true, ninety percent of the officials in the Song Dynasty will be punished, but Wang Yan attached Kong Daofu, and his words were vicious, and it was rumored in the capital that Wang Deyong would be dismissed again.

It seems that the wall is down and everyone pushes it again, and the Wang family is panicked, but Wang De behaves and speaks as usual, but he just doesn't accept customers.

Wang De has deep qualifications, and he can't break it for a while, so he began to break and follow the announcement.

Accusations against Ji Xuan are being collected.

This is a sad piece of history, although the impact is not great, but it reflects the mentality of some literati, the great enemy is current, and Wang De needs to use such an experienced military general to sit in the town, even if he does not go to the front line, he can also put forward some appropriate suggestions in the court, and he needs the cooperation of the Northwest Folding Family.

But what about the likes of Kong Daofu?

After drinking a few sips of West Lake water, Zheng Lang walked down wet from the lotus leaf and said to Fu Bi: "Brother Fu, this is your so-called gentleman's party." Wu Zetian killed Cheng Wuting, and the Turks congratulated him. She still has a reason to kill Cheng Wuting, why did she start a war immediately, first break her own arm, and then discredit the Zhi family? ”

The saddest thing is that the literati will write history books and will discredit this matter again.

If it weren't for Wang Deyong who said a word after Kong Daofu's death, Kong Zhongcheng didn't harm me, he should have served the monarch loyally, but unfortunately, he didn't have a loyal minister in the court when he died. Let Wenchen be discouraged like this, and the gentleman can smear Wang De with his life in the history books.

Fu Bi didn't want to answer.

Zheng Lang said: "It's a matter of Hangzhou, I really want to go back to Zhengzhou." ”

"Back to Zhengzhou?"

"I don't want to work with these gentlemen."

Wang Anshi stood on the side and snickered, this is the teacher scratching, to the point where the teacher wants to "retire", and the emperor will not let him support the elderly.

After finishing speaking, I saw Tong Ming and said, "You are also going to Zhengzhou." ”

Suing Yanwei Temple is also Tong Ming's idea, but Zheng Lang doesn't like these ideas, and he is afraid that he will be even darker if he is the director. It's not that he lets Tong Mingzhu do it, but that Tong Ming will be able to let himself ink when he is helpless in the face of many things.

Not only to send Tong Ming away, but also to send away Fan Chunyou, who is old, and he is nothing more than learning some different styles of doing things from his father, and his knowledge is also long, if it is good, Fan Zhongyan will not stay long in Jiangdong, let Fan Chunyou come to Fan Zhongyan's side after this autumn, and give Fan Zhongyan some small help.

The sound of autumn insects is more intensive, and August is coming.

The war of the Song Dynasty is imminent, the disaster is just starting again, Xichuan has no rain from summer to autumn, the people are hungry, the court ordered Han Qi to be the pacification envoy of Yili Road, and Wang Congyi, the deputy envoy of the West Dyeing Academy; Jiang Tang was the pacification envoy of Zikui Road, and Xia Yuanzheng, the deputy envoy of the Zuozang Library, dealt with the Xichuan disaster.

It shows that Han Qi has a high status in Zhao Zhen's heart.

But Han Qi and the three of them did not leave Hangzhou, and the case was basically closed, but they were also curious, so they left some tails to drag until the arrival of the tide in August.

There are more people watching the tide this year, not only watching the tide, but also several big dramas hosted by Zheng Lang, in fact, after several big dramas are sung, the status of Buddhism in Hangzhou has faintly dropped a lot. In addition, the people of the state capitals also want to see how Zheng Lang used lotus leaves to cross the West Lake.

They didn't have to wait long, on the full moon night of August 19, the weather was good, the wind was calm, and the West Lake was like a silver wheel, calm and calm.

Zheng Lang decided to use lotus leaves to cross the West Lake, and suddenly ordered, but this matter was very eye-catching, after hearing about it, many people flocked to it, but let the soldiers guard the various crossings, and even the lake was curfewed. Zheng Lang could only block the West Lake and prevent ships and people from disturbing him.

Three envoys, two transport envoys also came, and various officials from Hangzhou also came, and came to the West Lake, where Zheng Lang crossed the lake, and the surrounding area was blocked, and the people were far away, but these people were not forbidden to come. Standing by the lake, Zheng Lang said to Yang Anguo and the others: "Three, I will go over, you leave Hangzhou immediately, forgive me for not sending it." ”

Yang Anguo said: "It's okay, you can cross the lake." ”

It doesn't matter if we send it or not, the most important thing is that we take a look at it when we leave.

Zheng Lang got into a small boat, swung around, and picked the largest lotus leaf among the lotus leaves, but Han Qi and the three of them still shook their heads, the big lotus leaf is still a lotus leaf, what is the difference. Continuing to watch, Zheng Lang put the lotus leaf in the lake, picked up a small oar, and slowly stood up. Although the road was blocked, the moonlight was bright, and the people were not very far away, and when they saw this scene, they exclaimed one after another.

Zheng Lang's body shook a few times, and finally stood up straight, looked at the sky, turned back to Fu Bi on the shore and said, "Brother Fu, the affairs of Hangzhou are temporarily handed over to you." ”

As he spoke, he swung his oars and slowly paddled towards the middle of the lake with this lotus leaf. Not only did the man not sink under the lake, but even the lotus leaves did not seem to bear any weight, and the four corners rose up on the surface of the water as if they had just been plucked.

The bright moon rises in the east, the light is brighter, the screams all stop, everyone looks at this strange scene miraculously, the moonlight is dim, faintly making a person and a leaf in the lake covered with a mysterious halo of yellow.

Han Qi was puzzled and was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks, but Zheng Lang was driving the lotus leaf and was already getting farther and farther from the shore.
