Seeing that his goddaughter and Dong Xiaowan were so close, Liu Ziguang was in a good mood, and offered to take Dong Xiaowan and others to visit Chang'an Jingzhi, the school site is located in the southern suburbs of Chang'an, and near it is the famous Daci'en Temple, which is a famous place with a thousand-year-old pagoda. ”

There are twenty or thirty people in the condolence group from the capital, mainly Jiangnan celebrities, basically all of them are loyal fans of Liu Ziguang, and they are all surprised and delighted when they hear that Hou Ye is going to personally lead them to visit the ancient capital of Chang'an, but when Liu Ziguang took them to a so-called "scenic spot", everyone was dumbfounded.

This is a large brick kiln, countless workers with a backbone sweat and rain, crushing the clay and cutting it into bricks, and then exposing it to the sun, and then putting it into the kiln to fire it with a blazing fire, there are countless bricks of the same size and specifications on the site, there are hundreds of thousands, but these bricks are different from what everyone usually sees, the block is slightly smaller, and it is red.

"Everyone, please see, this is the brick factory set up by Ben Hou, using the new technology researched by the Royal Academy of Sciences of Beijing Division, this red brick process is much simpler than your common green bricks, so the production capacity is greatly improved, Chang'an City is in ruins, if all use red bricks, the construction degree will be much faster." Liu Ziguang introduced with great interest as he walked.

The celebrities and gentlemen nodded yes one by one, but the boss was unhappy in their hearts, and said that this is also a Chang'an view, but since the Hou Ye brought them here, no matter how boring it is, no matter how dusty it is, they have to look at it, but fortunately, Liu Ziguang just gave a brief introduction, and then took them to continue to the Great Ci'en Temple.

The Great Mercy and Grace Temple is the temple of the Tang Dynasty, the famous Big Wild Goose Pagoda is here, the 21 zhang high pagoda is still majestic, but the temple has been dilapidated, and there are traces of smoke and fire everywhere, although we have not been to Chang'an, but we all know the luxury of the Great Mercy and Grace Temple, the former governor of Shaanxi Zhou Zhenglong is dedicated to the Buddha, in the 20 years of his rule in Shaanxi, the Great Mercy and Grace Temple is extremely fragrant, the temple houses are exquisitely decorated, the materials are exquisite, and the temple produces as many as 10,000 acres of land, but now it is really shocking to see this tragic situation.

Liu Ziguang introduced: "The Great Ci'en Temple was looted by the Western Xia army, countless gold and silver magic weapons were lost, and even the gold leaf on the Buddha statue was scraped away, and the temple was also burned by a fire, so it ended up like this." ”

When everyone heard this, they all lamented the cruelty of the war, but some people thought of the brick kiln that had produced enough just now, so they asked: "May I ask why there are so many red bricks in the Houye brick factory, why don't you use them to repair the temple?" ”

Liu Ziguang smiled slightly, led everyone to climb the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, and looked in the direction of Chang'an City, only to see that the city was full of ruins, and there were new construction sites everywhere.

"The Western Xia army burned down the entire Chang'an City, and even Benhou could only live in tents, and hundreds of thousands of people in the city were waiting for houses to live, although you saw so many red bricks, in fact, they were not enough at all, so you can only grieve these Bodhisattvas and Arhats in the temple." Liu Ziguang said.

"But I'm afraid it's not good to neglect the Buddha and the Bodhisattva, right?" Someone whispered.

"The people are living people, these Buddha statues are just dummies made of mud, stone, metal, and the society has to rely on people, not Buddhas, so in the eyes of Ben Hou, there are only people without Bodhisattva, only when the people of the whole city live in the house, they will consider repairing the Great Mercy and Grace Temple, if the Bodhisattva wants to surrender the sin, then even if it is good, Ben Hou is not afraid of the ground, and then the Bodhisattva Buddha is compassionate, and he must understand this practice of Ben Hou, so that his idol is drenched in a little rain and a little wind, and it is nothing. Are you right? Old abbot. After Liu Ziguang finished speaking, the fat-headed and big-eared monk who accompanied them on the tour flattered and said: "Hou Ye Bodhisattva is very thoughtful. ”

Everyone was taken aback by Liu Ziguang's shocking language, but when I think about it carefully, it is really true, the common people have not lived a peaceful life, how can they take care of the Buddha statue first, so everyone began to compliment Liu Ziguang.

Seeing that Hou Ye seemed to be in a good mood, the fat monk took the opportunity to say: "The small temple was looted by the Xixia people, the Buddha tooth relics and many property and magic weapons, and I also ask Hou Ye to bother to help recover them." ”

Liu Ziguang said: "The gold, silver and magic weapons that were robbed of the Great Ci'en Temple were recovered, but they were all mixed with the people's belongings, and it was difficult to distinguish them for a while, so you should give Ben Hou a number first, and let them handle it, as for the Buddha tooth relic, you can rest assured that when Ben Hou's army goes on an expedition to the Western Regions, I will definitely help you get it back." ”

The fat monk folded his hands together and thanked him: "Thank you so much, Master Hou, the property that was robbed of the small temple has a total of 1,300 taels of gold, 580,000 taels of silver, and the gold and silver magic vessels also have the marks of the small temple, which is easy to find." ”

Liu Ziguang exclaimed: "There are so many assets in Baosha! Presumably it is all the sesame oil money donated by the people in Chang'an City, and now the people are in trouble, and the clothes are not covered and the food is not hungry, so it is better to donate some silver to help the victims, anyway, it is taken from the people and for the people. ”

"This ......," the fat monk turned his rosary in embarrassment, his face was reluctant, and Liu Ziguang smiled: "Don't worry, when the people settle down, the Buddha tooth relic, and help you find the incense, isn't it the same?" You monks have six pure roots, don't drink alcohol, eat meat, marry a daughter-in-law, and it's useless to ask for so much silver, you say that Ben Hou is right, abbot. ”

The fat monk didn't dare to say no, so he reluctantly agreed.

After visiting the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, Liu Ziguang said to everyone: "You don't know, this temple is actually a big harm, such as the Great Ci'en Temple, such a large temple has thousands of monks, not to produce, but also to absorb a large amount of silver, the government to reward the silver, the people's sesame oil money every year at least hundreds of thousands of taels into the temple, just to build a five-story floating slaughter will cost 100,000 taels of silver, if these money in the people for the expansion of reproduction, I don't know how many families can be fed, so Ben Hou will deduct their silver, these monks have long been not monks, in and out are big sedan chairs, robes are embroidered with gold silk, just send a few rooms of little wives, hum, anyway, there will be no good life for them in the future, willing to green lantern ancient Buddha self-cultivation of the true monk Benhou is not willing to liveThe flower monk in the poor days got out. ”

Everyone was solemn, and the Hou Ye looked at the problem differently, in the Tang Dynasty, Han Yu also criticized the harm of respecting Buddhism to the country, don't look at the knowledge in the belly of the first military general of Zhenwu Hou, at least it is at the same level as Han Yu.

Dong Xiaowan is even more obsessed with this man, who has too much character, and even blackmails the Bodhisattva's incense money for the livelihood of the people, such a lawless man....I like it.

Liu Ziguang arranged the condolence group to live in the pavilion and sent people to protect their safety, and the labor army condolences, put cloth shoes, sweat towels and so on were all accompanied, and the condolence group was accompanied by people from all walks of life in the capital to comfort all the soldiers of the Western Army, so it was impossible to only go around here in the Red Shirt Army, and the subordinates of Inspector Yuan also had to walk around to show that they were treated equally.

In a newly built opera garden in Chang'an City, Dong Xiaowan and Dong from the capital are stroking the piano and singing on the stage, although they deliberately pull a bead curtain, they can still see the graceful figure of the fairy, coupled with the singing voice like a yellow warbler, those soldiers on the stage do not understand the rhythm at all, and they are fascinated and confused.

Liu Zongmin is one of them, this brave and warlike chief soldier was born as a horse thief earlier, at most, that is, he had played some vulgar fans of western brothels, and he could grab the young lady of the rich man's house in the county, even if he opened a foreign meat, this time he saw a famous prostitute from the capital, Liu Zongbing knew that he had lived in vain for more than 30 years.

"***Why is this little girl's voice so hooking? If you shout in bed, you don't want to die? Hey, I said, Hao Shaoqi, Lao Tzu spoke, did you hear me! Liu Zongmin sighed with emotion, but his henchmen didn't react at all, his two eyes looked directly at Dong Xiaowan on the stage, a glimmer of something flashed on the side of his mouth, and the whole person was already stunned, Liu Zongmin was so angry that he kicked it at that time.

Hao Shaoqi used to be a pony thief who followed Liu Zongmin, but now he is also a well-known official and military commander, he was kicked by Liu Zongmin before he woke up from his obsession with Dong Xiaowan, wiped his mouth, and the old man's saliva flowed: "What did the chief whistle say?" ”

"Lao Tzu said, why is this little girl so handsome, even your kid's soul has been hooked!" Liu Zongmin said viciously.

Hao Shaoqi smacked his lips and agreed: "What the general post said is that this little lady is really a water spirit, if she can sleep in her arms, she will be willing to live for twenty years!" Otherwise, the brothers will bring a sack to snatch her at night, and let the general post go first, and the brothers will come back. ”

These old brothers are inseparable from each other, and they have been friends for many years, so Hao Shaoqi has no scruples when he speaks, but this time Liu Zongmin's reaction is a little different from before, he said angrily on the spot: "No, this little lady is Lao Tzu, no one is allowed to touch it!" ”

Hao Shaoqi was stunned, the general post is not such a person, last time I robbed the second lady of the Yan'an prefect's house, played it and threw it to the brothers, why did you eat alone this time? Could it be that ... Is the general whistle really emotional?
