"Then why is Master Su called 'Su Yishi'?"

"Master Su learned that the garrison in Benzhou lacked barracks, and most of the sergeants had no room to live in, so they had to be scattered among the markets. Renting a private house to live in, making them poor, not to mention drinking and gambling, and even running away to be a thief, Lord Su was in a hurry, and after investigation, he wrote a long letter to Lord Cheng, and with the efforts of the two adults, 300 tiled houses were built in time. ”

Concubine Wen was about to praise him, "Master Su, good person!" A villager shouted excitedly.

"Really? It seems that the emperor degraded him here in order to save the common people. "The beauties talked a lot, and the tourists sang and harmonized.

"Girls, I don't know if this old brother knows about last year's incident?"

"We all know, we all know." When tourists heard that Su Shi came to play, they flocked to it.

Another fellow went on to say, "Who's to say it's not? Lord Su did good things one after another, and made great efforts to correct the situation of rice cheapness hurting farmers. In the autumn of last year, (note, that is, the second year of Shaosheng, 1095), the entire Huizhou had a bumper grain harvest and the price of rice plummeted. At that time, in order to alleviate the pressure of Cao Yun, the government collected land taxes and asked for money instead of rice, resulting in a shortage of money in Lingnan and cheap rice hurting farmers. We peasants use our money to pay taxes and sell double the grain at a low price.

When Mr. Su learned of this situation, he wrote a letter to Mr. Cheng Zhengfu, saying that the peasants in Huizhou had asked him to discuss with various officials and local officials in a timely manner, and to allow him to 'let the people do what they want, and pay money and nanometers', so as to solve the two major problems of 'rice and peasants' and 'Lingnan's money shortage'.

Soon, Su Dongpo wrote a longer letter to Cheng Zhengfu. Farmers in all states are allowed to pay field taxes this autumn and have their own money and grain. In this way, not only the farmers in Huizhou have benefited a lot, but also the farmers in the major states of Guangnan East Road have also benefited. ”

"Master Su is not only a good person, but a living Bodhisattva." An old woman said with tears in her eyes.

"I don't even know that, old man. Is this true? Buddha Yin pondered: This genius, so arrogant and arrogant, actually did this thing that made people so sideways and unbearable to look at, and did it so meritoriously, if it were me, maybe he would turn a blind eye and listen to it, how could he be so compassionate to the common people? This time, I really let me see a real Buddha, before, he and my 'Buddha debate', I used to laugh at him in my heart, this time, let me be impressed, I will absolutely write off the unhappiness. Thinking about it, Buddha Yin stared eagerly at the old man.

"Once, Master Su found that there were unburied bones everywhere in the suburbs by the river, and they had been drenched in the sun for a long time, and no one had buried them, so miserable! He discussed with Zhizhou Zhan Fan and raised money to hire people to bury them, causing a public grave. This work of collecting and burying the bones was later expanded by the promotion of Master Zhengfu in the process. Su Dongpo himself also donated money to advocate this good deed. The old man finished speaking in one breath, and he was so tired that he gasped.

"Huh?" The crowd was stunned, and then erupted in a round of warm and prolonged applause.

Concubine Wen felt tired and ordered everyone to sit down in the pavilion.

"What do you say, what will this pavilion be named in the future?" Concubine Wen asked on a whim.

"Dongpo Pavilion" Most of the people present replied in unison.

West Mountain, West Lake, Xi Shi, and Western characters even have an intriguing beauty. After thinking about it, Concubine Wen came up with a couplet and chanted: "Xishan, West Lake, Xishi, the most beautiful west, please come up with the next couplet, how about it?" ”

In front of the great writer, no one dared to get an axe, staring at the two talented people of Buddha Yin and Dongpo with a brush.

Buddha Yin looked at Su Shi and urged directly, "Good guy, what's the matter, you're not right, and you still want us to invite you?" ”

"East Mountain, East Sea, East Slope, East Beauty." Su Shi blurted out, and his voice shot out like an arrow off the string.

"It's wonderful, Da Song has given birth to a wonderful pair." The warriors exclaimed.

"Niangniang, I am really not talented in the next place, and I was forced to be unable to do it, so I came out of this link." Su Shi was a little uncomfortable.

"You might as well change it, and whoever you are will be right." Concubine Wen smiled heartily and said approvingly, everyone present laughed, only Su Shi was a little embarrassed, and he lowered his head, like a child, not daring to look at everyone.

"Facing the majestic Jade Pagoda just now, it is inconvenient for us to climb, now it's time to enjoy the scenery of Xishan West Lake." Concubine Wen commanded.

Walking across the neat stone bridge, Concubine Wen didn't know what its name was, and asked curiously, "What is the name of the bridge you walked on just now?" ”

"Five-Eye Bridge." The tourists replied kindly. Concubine Wen thought, as a person, how many more pairs of eyes is possible? A pair of reading, a pair of viewing, and a pair of sleeping. In this way, a man can have six eyes, which is much more clever than this bridge. Thinking about it, the happy smile skillfully blends into the warm sunshine and clear lake water, and others don't even notice it.

Looking at the sparkling waters of the West Lake, reflecting the towering jade pagoda and the tree-lined West Mountain, the tourists are weaving, the painting boat moves lightly, Concubine Wen feels relaxed and happy, he thinks, maybe Su Shi has drunk stuffy wine in a pavilion in this mountain, because the officialdom is frustrated, and he hurriedly asked: "Brother Su, will you name a certain pavilion 'Cup Wine Pavilion'?" ”

"Sister Concubine Wen, this is indeed a good idea, I will keep it in my heart when I go back this time." Su Shi was so happy that he was intoxicated.

Watching many people cross the lake by boat, Concubine Wen asked, "Lord Su, will you build a bridge for the people here?" ”

Su Shi quickly replied: "Although there are some difficulties, but there are always fewer difficulties than methods, last year, I made up my mind to build a bridge, and this year I will fund the construction of the Xigu Bridge for the monks of Qichan Temple as soon as possible." This is a new bridge, and it is located on the West Lake, so I will name it 'West New Bridge'. ”

"Oh my God, what a Mr. Dongpo who is a Jishidu man, people say that building bridges and paving roads has immeasurable merits, and you guess what kind of bridge will it be called in later generations?"

"Nine times out of ten, it will be called 'Su Shi Bridge', 'Su Bridge' or 'Su Gong Bridge'." Concubine Wen said confidently.

"Great, great, a beautiful and practical long bridge is going to be born in our place again, Lord Su is really our great benefactor." Visitors couldn't help but be overjoyed and praised one after another.

At that time, it may be a wonderful picture scroll of "Su Causeway is like 5,000 feet, and the blue waves of the West Lake reflect the long dragon", and the Buddha imagines and recites.

The group stood on a high place and enjoyed the wonderful scenery of this area.

I saw the green trees on the mountain, the pavilions and corridors are lined up, the scenery is beautiful, and I try my best to look at it, and the panoramic view of Huizhou is in full view. The four seasons are verdant, and the scenery on both sides of the strait is charming and charming.

"Niangniang, do you still stay tonight and enjoy the night view?" Buddha Yin asked cautiously.

"Is the night view beautiful?" Concubine Wen asked in surprise.

"What do you say? Anyway, I have played with Brother Su a few times, and we are swinging a small boat and tasting tea or wine. Everyone, you may not know, the most beautiful moment is actually in the middle of the night. A bright moon hanging on the curtain of the deep blue sky, the silver moonlight gently sprinkled on the surface of the lake, and the moon shadow seemed to be playing in the gently rippling lake. The water and sky are the same color, which makes people pleasing to the eye and relaxed. Therefore, Lao Qu once called it 'Su Di playing with the moon'. ”

Thinking of Su Shi's great contribution to the people of Huizhou, what a good deed of Buddha's heart and Buddha nature this is, Concubine Wen couldn't help but admire: "I think, it can also be called 'Buddha Causeway Moon'!" Everyone was amazed, what about the Buddha seal, he was embarrassed, he thought Concubine Wen was praising him.
