Chapter 429: Code Name 'Killing Monk'
The host turned around, calmed his face, turned around and walked back to the temple, and the monks didn't dare to speak, so they quickly closed the door and went to do their own thing, at this time it was better not to appear in front of the host.
As for those pilgrims, they will not have the mind to worship the Buddha, and they will hurry down the mountain one by one, and those who are related to their own homes should go back to inform them quickly, and they will go back happily if they don't go back to publicize such a big thing.
The host walked towards the meditation room with a gloomy face, and when he passed by the rattan chair, he snorted heavily, and kicked the rattan chair with a strong 'boom' with his right foot, which made the corners of the mouths of the two henchmen and middle-aged monks behind him twitch, glanced at each other, and sighed secretly, it seems that the master is really mad, for so many years, it is rare to see the master so atmospheric, on weekdays, even if it is a big trouble, the master can maintain a peaceful smile.
Entering the meditation room, the host sat cross-legged on the futon, closed his eyes and began to think about what had just happened.
Everything was too sudden just now, so he was not prepared at all, and the reason why he didn't panic was because of the practice of Buddhist scriptures for so many years, which made him feel calm.
Looking at today's posture, it was not done in a hurry, presumably Wang Xuan had been prepared for a long time, and deliberately delayed it until the end before coming to the temple to check.
Now that they have checked this side, the other temples must have been harassed by these demons.
At this point, the host is not wrong, Wang Xuan did let his subordinates act on the same day, and the code name of this operation is 'Killing Monks'!
According to intelligence investigations, the fields controlled by Nan Shaomu in Fujian Province are close to one million mu, but of course, there are not so many of them actually under their control, only less than 600,000 mu.
But 600,000 mu is not a lot, equivalent to nearly half of the land scale of the seven great families, a group of monks, jumping out of the Three Realms and not in the Five Elements, what do you want so many fields for?
At least, in Wang Xuan's opinion, this is a waste, a waste of red fruits, but in fact, many people are willing to sell their fields to the temple.
The government factor is very large, as long as there is land, all kinds of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes are very complicated, the burden of the people is very great, if it is sold to the temple, this land is tax-free, and the monks in the temple do not produce, or rent to the original people to plant, and the temple can collect a certain rent.
In any case, this rent is less than the various exorbitant taxes collected by the government, and of course, a large part of the reason is that the local magnates will also collude with the government to add some taxes that should have been paid by them to the people.
It can only be said that this matter is very complicated, not only because of the temple, but also because it is very troublesome to solve.
However, for Wang Xuan, there is only one solution, cut through the mess with a quick knife, use absolute force to oppress, and directly smash all the cats, and must follow his rules, but anyone who opposes it, regardless of the reason, will be dealt with with cement piers to deter the Quartet.
This is a critical moment for the establishment of a new system, and he must not lose a big one because of a small one, and he will not be merciful, whether it is the official himself or the local big households, he will use thunderous means to deter him.
As for the tax exemption of temples, it has been going on for more than a thousand years, Wang Xuan actually thought about it repeatedly, but in the end he still didn't choose to do it.
In the world, the power of Buddhism is extremely powerful, even the emperor can secretly kill him, if he dares to touch this bottom line, it will be a big trouble once it causes the overall counterattack of Buddhism.
Before he was absolutely sure, he didn't want to poke this hornet's nest.
However, this does not mean that he will let go of Buddhism and dare to secretly cheat him, no, dare to evade taxes and violate national law, he is so righteous Ling Ran, how can he let the other party do this kind of thing under his nose.
The host sat on the futon and thought carefully for a long time, today he handled this matter quite satisfactorily, and did not leave any handle for the other party, as for whether Wang Xuan would have the next step of conspiracy, he didn't know, now, the top priority is to inform the Putian Shaomu Temple of the matter here, and let the head temple take the idea.
Thinking of this, he instructed his apprentice where to write down the matter carefully, and when the ink was dry, he took out a pigeon from the pigeon cage and tied it to his leg.
When he came to the outside of the meditation room, he threw the pigeon into the sky, and the pigeon circled and began to fly westward.
Seeing the pigeon fly away, the host breathed a sigh of relief, and ordered the apprentices not to leave the temple for a period of time, and to stay in the temple honestly, then turned around and walked towards the backyard.
He had just held back the anger in his stomach, if he didn't vent it, he felt that his Zen heart was going to be shaken, and he came to the backyard firewood room, groped on the wall, only to hear the sound of 'click', and a wall slowly moved away, revealing a hole facing downward.
Walking down the bluestone steps, there are oil lamps on both sides that are lit all year round and do not look dark, and the air is not bad, and there are vents leading to the well to keep the air circulating.
Below is a large basement, more than 200 square meters, in which seven or eight women are imprisoned, all of them are wearing very few clothes, and they are all a little tattered, this is not the temple is poor, not reluctant, but this is more feeling.
Actually, I heard that there are a lot of 'little goblins' in the devil's Xinghui nightclub, and I should get some like that when I go back, well, wouldn't it be wonderful to be able to exercise our means of subduing demons and eliminating demons, looking at the trace of fear revealed in the eyes of several women, the host couldn't help but think in his heart.
"You, you, you two come here!" The host pointed to two of the women and said, he is very angry today, and one is afraid that one is not enough!
It's just that when he was about to put out the fire, a sharp arrow broke through the air, and the pigeon that flew out fell to the ground in response, Wang Xuan arranged for people to ambush near various temples early, and they were absolutely not allowed to fly pigeons to pass on the book.
Although it is impossible to control the Putian Shaomu Temple, it is impossible to receive any information, but it is a day that can be covered for a day, since Wang Xuan has started, there will not be only such a way.
……
Fujian, Putian Shaomu Temple.
Three thousand heavily armed troops surrounded them, and on top of several box cars, there were more than a dozen eight-bull crossbows, which fired three arrows at a time, all of which were made of pure iron, with a length of about one meter and a half, and were completely short guns.
This eight-bull crossbow is redesigned, most of the spare parts have been replaced with steel, so the size has been reduced a lot, but the firing strength has not changed, and after the addition of gears, the operation is much easier, from ten people to two people.
Wang Xuan once experimented that three steel arrows could penetrate 8mm steel plates within 300 meters, and if they were replaced by single arrows, they could penetrate 15mm steel plates within 300 meters, and the impact was amazing, and that force alone could shock people to death.
As soon as the army came over, the temple received the news, and the fat presiding abbot listened to the report with a calm face, and looked very calm with an expressionless face, which made the monks in the temple feel a lot more settled.
It's just that the hand shrunk in the monk's robe was clenched tightly, and there was a flash of panic in his eyes.
Although he didn't know the number of the army, there were thousands of people, fully armed, and there was a way that those who came were not good and those who were good did not come, and it was definitely not a good thing to kill them with such fanfare.
For Nan Shaomu's lineage, this is a catastrophe!
He knew about these soldiers, they all listened to Wang Xuan's demon, he was afraid that the other party would destroy him on an impulse, but he knew what he had done here.
That Wang Xuan is a madman at all, he has no scruples in his actions, if he really fights, they are not afraid of being trapped in the army because they have many masters, but what is the use of people running away!
If you can run a monk, you can run a temple!
"Don't panic, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and wait for the division to go out and see!" The fat abbot said a word, and then walked towards the outside of the temple.
The three thousand army under the command of Wei and Yu Leyou lined up in front of the temple gate, as for the encirclement, it didn't exist, Wang Xuan said, let them run, see where they can run!
More than a dozen box carts equipped with eight-ox crossbows were lined up, the horses were directly unloaded, the four legs of the box carts were fixed, and the crossbow arrows flashing with cold light were all wound, just aiming straight at the front of the temple.
When the fat abbot walked out of the gate, his footsteps paused, looking at the huge ballista in that row, his eyelids jumped fiercely, and he kept scolding Wang Xuan in his heart, what is this for! This kind of ballista has been brought up, is this going to destroy their Nan Shaomu lineage!
This is Chiguoguo's intimidation, Wang Xuan made it clear that the carriage and horse were to give the other party a dismount, and he looked like he was ready to slaughter the other party at any time, it depends on what you bald thieves do.
This scene really frightened a lot of monks in the temple, many monks who followed the fat abbot out suddenly retreated in fright, this is a heavy crossbow, used to attack the city, not to mention a dozen, just a crossbow arrow, the whole temple dares to say that there are few people who can face it head-on.
The abbot didn't need to look, the voice he heard by his ears could distinguish the situation behind him, and he sighed slightly in his heart, not to mention them, even if he was shocked and couldn't figure it out.
Taking a deep breath slowly, the abbot walked to the front of the army as calmly as possible, folded his hands and bowed slightly to make a Buddha name, "Amitabha, good, good, which general is in charge, I don't know what offended my Shaomu Temple, and I actually provoked the army to go up the mountain." ”
Yu Leyou's face was cold, and he stepped forward and said, "I am the commander of the Xinghua Mansion Guard, Yu Leyou." ”
"Oh, it turned out to be Lord Commander Yu, I don't know what the relationship between Lord Commander and General Yu Dayou is?"
"That's the Ancestors."
Yu Dayou broke through the eighteen bronze formations of Shaomu Temple, similarly, Shaomu Temple also sent monks and soldiers to help Yu Dayou exterminate the pseudo-Japanese robbers, it can be said that turning enemies into friends, there is a bit of concern, Yu Dayu wrote the book "Sword Sutra", which records the use of various sticks and long weapons, and Shaomu Temple is deeply related.
The abbot came up and wanted to set it up, there is a way that acquaintances are easy to do, even if it is a fairy Buddha, it is not necessary to pay attention to personal relationships.
Chapter 430: Don't let the donor spew blood!
Yu Leyou's face was cold, his eyes looked at the fat abbot coldly, and he secretly said in his heart: "If it was before, when our Yu family was down, I really didn't mind having anything to do with your Shaomu Temple, but now, the position of my own guard commander was arranged by Lord Wang Xuan, and your Shaomu Temple was targeted by Lord Wang again, then you just said that if you go to the sky, we don't dare to show mercy." ”
When Yu Daxuan was alive, he made a lot of contributions in the southern and northern wars, and was called "Yu Long and Qi Hu" together with Qi Jiguang, and swept away the pseudo-Japanese who had been suffering for many years and took the opportunity to make trouble.
But even when the two were alive, they were often impeached by the civilian clique, and they tried their best to erase the merits of the two, and after the rebellion was pacified, the two were arrested and dismissed for a reason.
The rabbit is dead and the dog is cooked, and the bird is hidden, so it can only be said that the two of them are not smart enough and do not know what it means to raise a Kou self-respect.
After the death of the two, the descendants were also rejected by the civilian group, and naturally the day was not as good as the day, naturally, after Wang Xuan reorganized the Fujian military, Yu Leyou and Qi Zonghui joined in respectively.
"It turned out to be a descendant of General Yu, the poor monk is really disrespectful, General Yu, please come in quickly, we are not in a hurry if there is anything, there is already a vegetarian meal inside, my vegetarian food in Shaomu Temple is also famous, what is there to talk about while eating."
If it is to a pilgrim or a believer, the abbot naturally looks like a master outside the world, but now in front of him is the commander of the first army who is looking for trouble, he naturally will not put on that high-ranking appearance, but smiles like an old man and is close to the other party.
"No need, General Ben is on official business." Yu Leyou's eyes twitched slightly in the team, and his mouth hurriedly refused.
This slight change in his eyes made the old abbot find out, and he suddenly screamed in his heart, he has seen more people of all kinds over the years, and his mind has long been transparent, Yu Leyou's slight change in his eyes let him know that what Yu Leyou said doesn't count at all, there must be bigger people in the army.
And who can make Yu Leyou so afraid?
The old abbot turned his head and looked at the soldiers in the line, and before he could think more about who it was, he heard someone in the team talking, "Old monk, what's the matter, you mean that you are only going to invite General Yu to eat alone, so these three thousand troops are just looking at it?" Don't you think that these soldiers can't get into your eyes! ”
In and out of the words, there was a strong smell of sowing discord, which made the old abbot's face change suddenly.
With the sound of speaking, a passage was directly separated in the middle of the military formation, and Wang Xuan, who was dressed in a white robe and had a smile on the corner of his mouth, walked out slowly, he felt that he was smiling like a spring breeze, but in the eyes of the old abbot, this smile was full of evil energy, and that face was even more hateful.
Moreover, you don't need to ask to guess that the one who can still wear such a sassy bag in the army must be the reincarnated Wang Xuan of the peerless devil.
"Amitabha." The old abbot called a Buddha call to calm his mood, and then put his hands together and said: "How can the poor monks look down on these soldiers, in the eyes of my Buddha, all living beings are equal, but my Buddhism is a pure place outside the world, and it is still inconvenient for swords and soldiers to enter such murder weapons." ”
"I haven't asked for advice yet, the donor's surname is high!"
"Hehe, pretend not to know me, then don't know me, why do you have to know each other when you meet, as long as you know that you and I are destined." Wang Xuan smiled, since you pretend to be with Lao Tzu, then pretend to the end!
You and I are destined to go to the special place, the old monk is choking enough, and the ghost is willing to have a fate with you!
This is so special Wang Xuan is uneasy to play cards, isn't it normal to ask for his name when he meets for the first time, how can there be such a person in time!
"Old monk, this world is the world of my Ming Dynasty, and this land is also my Ming Dynasty, it has nothing to do with the 'world', if you want to be pure, you still have to go to the West Heaven!"
The abbot frowned, and let himself go to the west when he met, isn't this especially pointing at the monk and scolding the bald donkey!
Wang Xuan stepped in front of the old abbot and stretched out a finger to point on the abbot's shoulder, "Old monk, there is no place in this big world where my Ming soldiers can't enter, what's the matter, you Buddhism wants to go out independently from the Ming Dynasty." ”
"Say, are you taking refuge in the 'Japanese Bandits', they are Buddhists, I think you are the spies of the Japanese Invaders, no wonder the Japanese invaders were able to easily attack my Fujian coast last time, it turned out to be the intelligence you sent!"
"Whew~Shalc!" The old abbot took a deep breath again and again, and kept telling himself in his heart, quit anger and anger, and can't mess around with this kind of person, so he should point his finger at others, "Don't spew blood!" ”
"Yo he, don't admit it, then you took out the evidence that you didn't collude with the Japanese invaders, if you can't show it, then don't blame me for arresting you on the charge of colluding with the Japanese invaders!"
"Those who are clear are self-purifying, and those who are turbid are self-turbid, saying that the old monk colluded with the Japanese cowards, and asked Mr. to come up with evidence." The old abbot gritted his back molars, eager to eat Wang Xuan in one bite.
"If you don't admit it, okay, I'll catch a 'wolf' to identify you when I go back, one is not enough for ten, and even the letters you communicate with will be made!" Wang Xuan lowered his head slightly, looked directly into the old abbot's eyes, and there was a hint of mockery on the corner of his mouth.
The abbot's fat body couldn't help trembling, this devil was so arrogant, he actually said in front of me that he wanted to fake and harm me, it was ...... Simply!
Is there still a royal law for this!
Is there still a law!
This is the enemy of the Buddha, the gods and Buddhas in the sky, and the thunder that rained down the sky and killed him!
I have never seen such a vicious person!
It's just that the old monk seems to have forgotten who first instigated Tang Wang to assassinate Wang Xuan, and who repeatedly secretly targeted Wang Xuan.
"There is no excuse for the crime that you want to add, does the donor think that he can hide it from the people of the world and block this leisurely mouth!" The old abbot is really anxious, at this time, the gods and Buddhas must be not good, and they can only use the world to suppress Wang Xuan.
"You don't have to worry about it, anyway, you will be dead by then, as for the mouth of Youyou in the world, as long as you kill Youyou, no one will say it!"
Wang Xuan said lightly and didn't care, but there was a murderous aura in and out of his words, and he was provoked by this monstrous murderous aura, the old abbot took two steps back, and looked at Wang Xuan in shock, how could this be possible, how could there be such a murderous person in the world, he, how many people had he killed!
How many people have you killed?
Wang Xuan himself didn't know, the Caribbean World and Daming combined, there were more than 20,000, but this was still far from his goal of nine million!
"Donor, Wang, Mr. Wang, what do you want! Why do you want to persecute us and other monks! "The old abbot was really a little scared.
"Ahh Wang Xuan looked at the old monk playfully, and the old monk had to bow his head, "It's the poor monk's fault, please make it clear to Mr. Wang!" ”
"Cut!" Wang Xuan pursed his lips disdainfully, "I persecute you, you think too much of yourself, there is a way that the country has national laws, families have family rules, everything in the world has rules, as long as you don't break the law, there will naturally be no problem, but if you break the law!" ”
Wang Xuan's eyes suddenly sharpened, "The law of the country is ruthless, the Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, in my place, it is useless to put down the butcher's knife!" ”
The abbot's heart sank, breaking the law? He hadn't thought about this before, there are so many things that break the law, these days, there is a head and a face, and he is in a high position, that can not break the law!
However, the form is stronger than the person, he has to accept it now, and he has to accept it if he doesn't accept it, thinking of the 50,000 army in Wang Xuan's hands, his heart trembled, and he must not let my Shaomu Temple Fujian line be destroyed in my hands, otherwise, how can I have the face to meet the ancestors of my Buddhism.
"My Shaomu Temple is naturally law-abiding, but where there is a violation, it is naturally the poor monks who are not strict in discipline, and everything is ...... Punish according to the law. In the end, he gasped, and wanted to say that all the poor monks were single, but the words came to his mouth and quickly swallowed, this is not a normal day, he can blow it casually, and this person in front of him is not a generous person.
"Haha, you managed to make me laugh, it's really not responsible!" Wang Xuan glanced at the old monk and smiled.
The abbot's face flushed, what is the love, at this time the face does not matter or anything, I am a monk.
"Check the title deed, take out all the title deeds of your Shaomu Temple!"
Wang Xuan's words were very light, but when they stopped in the abbot's ears, they were like thunder, and if it was broken, this first one would be a big problem.
For more than a thousand years, Buddhism has not paid taxes, and the inspection of the land deed is even more handful, when the successive dynasties clarified the acres of land, the Buddhism side was bypassed, this time they thought it was no exception, where did they think, Wang Xuan did not check the blame, and a check was to bring a large army.
This is thinking of picking out your eyes and playing with you, and you will be killed!
Seeing that the abbot was stunned in place, Wang Xuan smiled, "Why, you can't take it out, that is, there is not a single acre of land!?" ”
The abbot is frantically fighting in his heart, what should I do!?
If you take it out, it will inevitably be full of mistakes and omissions, just in the entire Xinghua Mansion, the foundation of their Nan Shaomu, there are no less than 200,000 acres of fertile land under their control, of course, most of them are hidden in the name of the temple by other big households.
In fact, these big households still hold the original title deed in their hands, and the ghost knows if these big households have taken it out when they inspected the title deed last time, of course, he knows in his heart that the possibility of taking it out is the greatest, after all, none of these big households believe in it, only believe in themselves, and Wang Xuan's new tax law He also knows that if he cooperates with them Shaomu, Shaomu will also take a cut, which is almost the same inside and out.
Not to mention the problem of the size of the mu, the problem of fake land deeds, there are many problems, this is the handle, if it is really strictly handled according to the law, then the sin is so big!
He's afraid he can't afford it!
Can...... If you don't take it out, it will mean that the temple has no land at all, and in that case, the family foundation accumulated by the ancestors of the past generations will be equivalent to letting him lose everything!
What to do!
He's covered in sweat right now!
