"Don't worry, old soldier. Those river workers are good, as long as they practice and practice, they are also a material. Let's select some of them and organize them into official battalion soldiers, and let them sit in Zhongzhou in the future, it's better than using those generals, isn't it? As for the others, they will be paid to be dismissed. Now that the rebels have been beaten to the Xinyang and Guangshan areas, are you still afraid that they will come to us to work on the river? ”

"However, these people are also going to eat when they are sent to the place. Those meritorious generals should be rewarded. Now that the treasury of Kaifeng is opened, it is not very relaxed, and if it is levied and promoted, I am afraid that there will be a civil uprising again. ”

"Put a new military gate. Rewards, easy to do. If you don't have any money, let's divide the land. These local battalion soldiers, who doesn't want land? It's just that today's land is in the hands of Shaolin Temple, and hundreds of thousands of acres of land have become monks' property, so we naturally have no land to reward. But if you collect the monk's property, are you still afraid that you will have no land at hand? It's the same with food, since the Shaolin Temple has Jigu in its hands, let them bleed. As long as they take the lead, are they afraid that the other squires in the local area will not show up? ”

Looking at Uncle Guo's smile, Yang Yikui was a little drumming in his heart. He has a good personal relationship with Fang Zheng, but he can't bear to look at his old friend. Besides, the protégés of Shaolin disciples are known as tens of thousands, if Shaolin is the opposite......

Zheng Guobao comforted: "Don't worry, Shaolin, he can't do it." What tens of thousands of disciples, dominating Zhongzhou, if you really believe this, this Henan will become a Buddhist country. They can't even suppress a Songshan faction, and are they afraid of what they will do? You can't retreat in this matter, and once you retreat, this matter will not be easy to do. As soon as qiē is handed over to me to solve. Immediately, you can lend me a thousand standard battalions, plus a thousand Juniper border troops. and the recruits of the two battalions in Henan, it is enough. ”

Ten days later. Shaolin Temple abbot indoors. The masters of the eighteen gates of Shaolin are all here, which is a rare spectacle in the history of Shaolin for several years. Know these masters. It's always this one to recuperate, and that one to worship the Buddha. Either to the South China Sea, or to Wutai. In short, it's not at home, it's not in meetings. Even if you have a dinner at the end of the year, you may not be able to get together.

So many monks gathered in one place, the last time was the Hongwu Dynasty, the age was strictly shaved, not to the young people, and the Buddha property was strictly checked. This time. The faces of the senior monks were anxious, and looking at their expressions, the situation was not as optimistic as before.

"Senior Brother Fangzheng, you must come out this time. You were born in the Great Compassion Nunnery, you can't watch your sect suffer, right? ”

"Uncle Fangzheng, you must take care of this matter, if you don't care, we won't be able to live."

"Gou Qincha is going to die against us, we can't eat this dumb loss. We...... We...... Let's sue him! ”

Originally, these Shaolin monks ate and slept fragrantly every day. I have nothing to worry about practicing boxing, shopping around the Qing Building, and beating tenants. Even at the time of the Henan Mutiny. The monks and soldiers protected the Buddha property and fought against the rebels, and the losses were not great. After all, Shaolin is a local powerhouse. The rebel army is mainly to avoid casualties, once it encounters strong resistance. Take a shift attitude.

Later, they added armament, and the armament was greatly strengthened. And for the needs of the war, white flour steamed buns and stewed meat were openly served. The brains of these monks are shining one by one, the dragon spirit and the tiger are fierce, and the girls in Fuchun Courtyard, Piaoxianglou and other places all said that the monks and soldiers are brave and can't resist. The monks laughed one by one, and they really hoped that this day would go on like this.

These days, the monks of the Eighteen Gates seem to be coming to an end in their good days. First of all, Uncle Guo raided Jinshan Temple, and nearly eighty percent of Shaolin's savings for many years were confiscated, and the eighteen gates were almost lost. The warehouses of each branch were also confiscated, and then Uncle Guo began to organize the clerks of Kaifeng Mansion to measure the land and inspect the fields.

There are also restrictions on the fact that monks do not pay taxes. The amount of land that Shaolin Temple actually owns now is much higher than the amount of land allowed to them by the imperial court, in other words, once the land is carefully measured, those monks' property will have big problems.

In the past, the imperial court did not measure the land, and when Zhang Juzheng engaged in a whip law, the momentum was also terrifying. A large number of clerks and scribes came down to clear the land and count the numbers. But before the person walked a few steps, he was surrounded by hundreds of Shaolin disciples with good guns and sticks, and the big stick with his eyebrows was a little bit, "Is it that you want to conquer our Shaolin land?" Call me! ”

A big stick came down, and the six-room scribe cried for his father and mother, and the wolf bèi fled. In addition, the abbot of Shaolin went to Beijing to cry Qin Ting, and the old queen mother spoke, so the matter of this amount of land was naturally over, and the monk property of Shaolin became bigger and bigger. This time, the monks also wanted to use the old method to gather hundreds of monks with good guns and sticks, but as soon as they arrived at the ground, a group of border soldiers accompanied the clerks to measure the land like a fierce god. You Shaolin Temple, do you want to rebel? Train with our border army? Okay, we're killing Tartars at the border, but let's see how you bald heads are better than Tartars? ”

These are not the farmers and military households of the guard, but the old soldiers who came out of the sea of corpses and blood. As soon as the ruffians came out, the monks ran out of fire. I had to laugh and say: "Master Jun, boss, misunderstanding." Isn't this a mutiny? We are afraid that the big men will measure the insecurity of the land, so we are here to be bodyguards, bodyguards. ”

That's not all, Shaolin monks who go out are becoming more and more unsafe. For example, there are several monks of Wanshou Nunnery who go to Fenglai Pavilion to check the people's feelings, visit the remnants of the rebellious army, and the demons. As soon as he walked out, he met a group of pacesetters from the Fubiao battalion, and he was tied up without saying a word, saying that he wanted to do the rules for Shaolin Zhengyi.

God knows, when will Shaolin's door rules be under the management of Fubiao Camp? In the end, one person paid a fine of fifty taels of silver for weathering before he was allowed to return to the temple. It doesn't matter if the money is not enough, make an IOU, and there will be Jinyi Guard, border army, and standard battalion to collect the money at that time. Guarantee a gentle attitude and civilized behavior, and you will definitely leave a breath of air to go back and borrow money.

There is also a monk from Yanshou Nunnery, who walked on the road with a good end, looked at the patrolling border soldiers twice, and as a result, in the name of watching the border soldiers and intending to assassinate, he tied them up and brought them back to the barracks. The one who walked with him hurriedly bowed his head to leave, but was also taken back by the border army in the name of acting sneaky and there must be a conspiracy.

"Abbot, I can't live this day. In just a few days, there were more than 20 monks who were taken away from our Qingliang Nunnery, including a class. How can we have so much cash to pay the fines? Those border soldiers insisted on taking land or shops to arrive. Senior brother clearly investigated, this is clearly to take away our property, this matter can't be taken lightly, if it is not good, it is the second Buddha disaster. ”

Fang Zheng's face had a stern expression, and he looked bitter and hateful. "Amitabha, several junior disciples, this matter is indeed very important, and it is not trivial. It's just that this uncle is not easy to deal with. If the former hadn't been for the old monk who had fought for his life and sacrificed his life with him, the Buddha collection of Jinshan Temple would have been swept away by him. After the old monk's argument on the basis of reason, not giving an inch, and the struggle of reason, strength and moderation, the total details of the preservation of the Buddha's property are as follows: 2,335 stone and 82 buckets of coarse grain, 1,000 ...... of fine grain. ”

The master of Fangshen Courtyard of the Great Compassion Nunnery, relying on the fact that he and Fang Zhengnian had mixed with the monk corps, and their relationship was closer than others. Regardless of the humility of the upper and lower levels, he grabbed the conversation, "Senior Brother Abbot!" What's the use of you still reading this? Now we are talking about the loss of the eighteen gates, and we are not summarizing it at the end of the year. Did you get the wrong script? ”

Fang Zheng glared at him, his face still having that solemn look. "Quiet, strict. Senior Brother Fang Shen, I have to criticize you. Do you still have me as an abbot in your eyes, is there Shaolin, is there any precept? Am I reciting this to show my own merit? I want you to know that the Shaolin Temple has made contributions, made efforts and sacrifices in this incident, and you don't have to count the eighteen gates. During these days, the warrior monks in the temple ate all the food they ate from home. Although the quality of the diet has declined, I would like to emphasize that I have read the scriptures, and for nearly two hundred years, no abbot has done so. (To be continued!)
