Potatoes are a high-yielding crop that Zhang Gui cultivated with the Academy of Agricultural Sciences a few years ago, and now it has been widely cultivated outside the Guanwai.

The land allocated to Zhang Pu's family was mainly used to grow potatoes.

It's just that before there were slaves, he and his wives were mainly digging the potatoes themselves, but now they naturally don't have to do it anymore.

Zhang Pu can still live a life where he can talk about his heart and soul in addition to teaching, and naturally feels that it is good to live here, and he is not willing to take the risk of escaping back to Guannai.

And after Zhang Pu said to Mao Bijiang that it was good to stay in Kaizhou, Liaodong, outside the Guan, Mao Bijiang did not object, but nodded.

Now he only thinks that he may be able to take the initiative in the Yi girl assigned to him, so that he may still be able to experience the life of a master, and as Zhang Pu said, maybe he can let the slave carry him in a sedan chair to enjoy the scenery, and then chant the wind and the moon.

Compared to horse-drawn carriages, scholars still prefer the feeling of being carried around.

Mao Bijiang and Zhang Pu are no exception.

In any case, after tens of thousands of foreign Yi were sent to the Han people as slaves outside the Guan, it did alleviate the Han people's desire to return to the Guannei, especially for ordinary Han people, who could live a human life outside the Guanguan first, so why rush back to the Guannei?

The exile of tens of thousands of foreign people to distribute Han people outside the Guanwai was in fact a few months later, after the autumn of the eleventh year of the Apocalypse.

After Zhang Gui recovered Guangzhou in the summer of the 11th year of the Apocalypse, he continued to send troops to clear the remnants of the remnants of the puppet dynasty, and began to prepare for the recovery of Haojing (Macau).

In addition, Zhang Gui asked the imperial court to approve the distribution of the captives to the Han people outside the Guanwai as slaves, and at the same time, he also asked for the expulsion of the Haojing Buddha Lang Jiren.

And soon after this, Zhang Gui also specially led the army south, so that Zhu Xieyuan was ready to command the army to march to Haojing by land and water.

It's just that on the way south, Liu Zongmin suddenly came to Zhang Gui on this day and said: "Grandpa Guo, Xichang has received a letter, which says that Han Gongzi and nine Xilin scholars who came to Guangdong to help the affairs of the democracy movement fell into their hands, and they asked Uncle Guo to go to see them in person, and the address was said in the letter. ”

"Is this the thing? How could Han Jue fall into their hands?! ”

Han Qi is the son of Han Yi, Zhang Gui's first student, and the first person in charge of the underground intelligence system of the West Factory, which is particularly important to Zhang Gui and the entire West Factory.

Needless to say, it is because of Zhang Gui's cultivation that some outstanding scholars who sincerely support the reform and reform of the law for the country and the people have emerged, and they are the seeds of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, after Zhang Gui heard Liu Zongmin say this, he was shocked on the spot.

Because both Han Qi and Xilin Shizi are very important to him.

Liu Zongmin replied at this time: "I didn't expect it. Then, he asked Zhang Gui: "You said, could it be a fraud?" ”

Zhang Gui said: "Whether it's or not, this master has to go to the meeting!" ”

So, Zhang Gui instructed: "Prepare the horses, transfer the Xishan Battalion of the Chinese Army and the Ding team of the Taishi to follow the Taishi to the place mentioned in this letter!" ”

"Yes!"

The place where Zhang Gui is coming is called Longzang Temple, which is a famous temple in Guangzhou Prefecture.

At this time, Han Qi and several Xilin scholars had been tied to the pine tree here, and several monks were holding long knives, watching them.

After Zhang Gui came here accompanied by Liu Zongmin and others, he saw the scene where Han Jue and several Xilin scholars were tied up.

"The Point Guard Is Here"

It's just that Zhang Gui can't get close to them at this time.

Because in front of Zhang Gui and Liu Zongmin, there are thousands of monks and soldiers standing on the steps behind the temple gate and the two wings, holding the people's self-made arquebus, forming a 180-degree three-dimensional firearms array network without dead angles.

Even if the officers and soldiers under Zhang Gui's command had advanced firearms, they did not dare to approach easily, and the casualties were increased, so they could only protect Zhang Gui at the bottom of the mountain, looking up and watching an old monk walk out.

This old monk Buddha is called "Xuye", his long eyebrows are white, his lips are red and his teeth are white, and he is a person who has a good life.

And after this Xuye came out, he first bowed to Zhang Guizuo.

"Old monk, let's talk about it, why do you want to tie up the students of this Taishi and the people of my West Factory, this is not what you monks should do."

Zhang Gui asked first at this time.

Xu Ye sneered after hearing this, and then asked, "Is it just that Uncle Guo is only allowed to wantonly slaughter my tens of thousands of monks, and I will be guilty of tying up someone?" The Buddha said that if you put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot, it is not that you can't do anything as a monk, as long as you put it down before you want to become a Buddha. Now, it depends on Uncle Guo whether he will give us monks a chance to let go. ”

"That sounds funny."

Zhang Gui also snorted coldly, and then said: "You should not be real monks, let's be honest, what are you coming from, and why do you do this?" ”

"Who says we're not monks?!"

This Xuye replied loudly, and then said: "Thanks to Uncle Guo, we have to change from Confucianism to Buddha, and we have already decided to return to the mountains and forests, worship the Buddha wholeheartedly, and no longer ask about the world. ”

"So, you're tying up my people for this?"

Zhang Gui asked.

Xu Ye replied with a smile: "That's right! Don't blame Uncle Guo, I just want to take this opportunity to talk to you. ”

"What do you want to talk about?"

Zhang Gui asked.

Xu Ye replied: "Uncle Guo is a genius in the sky, and he seems to have glimpsed the heavens, and the world has changed so much that it is today!" Science is no longer an official science, and the etiquette system has been trampled on arbitrarily, even if a person of insight establishes a separate court in the south, he is powerless to reverse the general trend set off by the uncle of the country. We and other Confucian disciples had to escape into the empty door and take refuge for the time being. But presumably, Uncle Guo's next step is to destroy the Buddha, and he doesn't want us to be able to enjoy peace and glory in the empty mountains and mountains. And what we want to talk about is to ask Uncle Guo to stop, let us have a way to live, and also let Buddhism have a way to live. ”

"Alright!"

Xu Ye shouted and asked again, "Uncle Guo, you have won enough!" Why bother plowing the last piece of pure land at the Buddha's gate? ”

Zhang Gui understood, and knew that Xu Ye and these people were essentially still people from the landlord and gentry class.

It is only because the imperial court is now very strict with the gentry, so these children of the official gentry simply escaped into the empty door, and in the name of Buddhist monks, they continued to live a pampered landlord life in the temple, continued to lie down to collect rent and interest, and continued to enslave the tenant farmers who were dedicated to the temple.

And these people now want not to attack the Buddhist temples themselves, let them go, so that they can continue to live the life of feudal landlords in the skin of Buddhism.

"Do you think you're qualified to negotiate?"

Zhang Gui asked at this time.

At this time, Xu Ye signaled the monks under his command to escort Han Qi and the others over, and laughed angrily: "You are not wrong, we are not qualified, but we can make Uncle Guo pay a greater price!" ”

Then, Xu Ye ordered: "In front of Uncle Guo, Han Jue and these Xilin scholars will be directly beaten to death with a fire gun!" ”

"Yes!"

The monks under the command of Xu Ye raised their fire guns and aimed them at Han Qi and the others.

But at this time, Han Jue shouted loudly: "Don't kill me!" I'm not a son, my surname is Wang, Master Xuye, I am the prince next door to your Ronggui Garden! ”
