"Fortunately, I did not give up hope of survival, waiting for His Majesty's salvation."

When Li Xingchen was mentioned, the young man's eyes were filled with awe and excitement.

"Really?" Li Xingchen smiled, "But I just came here today and found that it has not fully recovered, could it be that the Son of Heaven is the slogan for you, but the work efficiency is not good, so it is still a phenomenon that has not been repaired, right?" ”

The young man waved his hand and said casually: "Don't talk nonsense, Your Majesty is also a human being, and he is not a living Bodhisattva, how can anything be solved."

The imperial court sent five hundred new light officers to replace a wave of moths. There is also an army in the town to supervise the major families to prevent them from messing around. ”

"Oh? Those families are so rampant? It was also guarded by the imperial army. Li Xingchen continued to ask.

The young man sighed, "They have lived in Jiangnan for several generations, and even dozens of generations, and the relationship is self-evident."

Supervision is supervision, and there is no lack of action in private, unless the army kills on a large scale, it will always be a disaster.

But they didn't make a big mistake, and it was wrong to forcibly kill them, so the two sides were in a stalemate, fighting openly and secretly, with the road one foot high and the magic one foot high. ”

The young man was both helpless and wanted to laugh, he was very clear about the situation in the Jiangnan area.

"Then who do you think will be better in the long run?" Li Xingchen asked again.

"This," the young man hesitated, "to tell the truth, it must be a family." ”

Li Xingchen twisted his eyebrows, "Why?" ”

In the Jiangnan area, after the women's army was ordered to solve the matter, they went to solve the bandits, and Li Xingchen sent other soldiers to garrison them, including many former Lingzhou soldiers, plus five hundred new Guangren, can they still get the family?

"You didn't know when you first came, but you'll understand when you stay for a while."

"Little brother, why don't you speak out?" Li Xingchen was extremely humble, and his heart became more and more curious.

In any case, according to the practice of the imperial court, it should never lose to the Jiangnan family.

"I can't say that, I'll know when you enter the city." The young man gritted his teeth and pondered for a moment, finally shaking his head unwilling to answer.

Maybe he was worried that Li Xingchen was not ordinary and would come from a family, so he had scruples.

Anyway, no matter what Li Xingchen asks in the future, he doesn't want to speak.

In the end, Li Xingchen had no choice but to enter the city separately with him.

Things were slightly better in the city than outside, there was no feeling of being soaked in big water, and there was no rancid smell.

Dugu Ling took a deep breath of fresh air, feeling like a world away.

There are a lot of people in the city, but these people are all going in one direction, and Li Xingchen is curious to follow the current and also go in a certain direction.

The strange thing is that Li Xingchen and the others walked a long way, and they didn't find any business people on both sides, looking at the people in front of them, their clothes were clean and tidy, they didn't seem to be going to work, and the look on their faces was also very pious.

Li Xingchen sighed, this scene seems familiar, it seems that the people outside Xingye Temple were also like this at that time.

In front of it is a temple, to be exact, there are several temples, people come and go, incense gathers together, and floats into the sky, and the liveliness is no less than that of Xingye Temple at that time.

When the people entered the temple, they became more and more pious, and they were happy when they came out.

Dugu was surprised.

Buddha? Pray that it is normal to worship God and Buddha! It's not normal for many people to gather together to worship the Buddha!

Judging from this flow of people, I am afraid that most of the people in the county are here.

The most abnormal thing is that some people worship the Buddha for peace of mind, some come purely to play, and there are few pious people, but here they are all pious.

"Are the gods and Buddhas more effective here?" Dugu asked coldly.

Li Xingchen's face was gloomy, "Just go and see." ”

As he spoke, he walked inside.

There are a lot of people in the temple, come and go, crowded extraordinary, there is a merit box at the door of each temple, and there are a few big characters pasted on the box, Amitayus Buddha, which means donating more money, the better.

There is also a monk standing next to the merit box, and the people who come and go have no money have no choice but to pass by the merit box, and those who have money will throw some more or less into it.

Li Xingchen's heart sank again and again, after the flood, all kinds of wastes were waiting to be rebuilt, it was time to recover, but the people in the south of the Yangtze River came to pray to God and worship Buddha?

The fields are no longer ploughed? Homes are not built?

"Master, your temple has a lot of incense! Are there always so many people? Li Xingchen walked in front of the monk guarding the merit box.

The monk smiled kindly, "Amitabha, the Buddha blessed Jiangnan, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment, and the people will naturally come often." ”

Li Xingchen smiled, "Come and burn incense, and the Buddha will bless you to live and work in peace and contentment?" As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the people in line.

Seeing their anxious and pious appearance, Li Xingchen wanted to laugh very much, laughing at their ignorance, if worshipping the Buddha can live and work in peace and contentment, and can fill their stomachs, then what else do they need to eat?

"Really, the little monk doesn't deceive people, the donor will know if he tries it, as long as he makes a vow, he will succeed. With awe and hope, everything can be fulfilled. The monk smiled.

Entering the temple, there are more people. Some of the people bowed down and did not want to get up. Li Xingchen looked at it, and thought that they were asleep, but he didn't know how long it took to open his eyes, get up with a reverent face, and then leave the main hall.

Li Xingchen shook the corners of his lips, his heart became more and more unhappy, he raised his eyes to look at the golden Buddhas in the hall, facing the solemnity, and then looking at the ignorant people, extremely sad.

All come to worship the Buddha, and the family is not taking care of the old and the young? Don't make any money? Waiting for the imperial court to help? Or are they all waiting to starve? Li Xingchen couldn't figure it out, so he stood by the door and pursed his lips for a long time.

In the end, a person called him back to God, an old monk with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and seeing him wearing a robe, he knew that he had a certain status.

"The distinguished guest came from afar, the old monk is the abbot of the Buddha Temple, dare to ask the distinguished guest what is the trouble?" The old abbot asked calmly.

Li Xingchen looked at it, "Master, can you give me a bite to eat?" I haven't eaten in a few days. ”

"Didn't the Buddha ask the court to allocate food?" The abbot replied.

The expression on his face was a little broken, and he always felt creepy to be looked at by Li Xingchen.

Just now, a little monk told him that there was a noble person standing in the hall for a long time before he came to have a look.

"What about the fields and the dilapidated houses? What about the garbage in one place? Can the Buddha clean up? Li Xingchen raised his eyebrows and stared at the abbot's eyes.

Old bald donkey, everything the court did became what the Buddha instructed? Is this how the fruit is harvested?

The abbot's scalp was numb, and the smile on his face remained the same, just a little stiff.

"Didn't the Buddha let the imperial court provide disaster relief? Everything is in a hurry, slowly drawing. ”

"Oh, that's the favor given by the court to the people, what does it have to do with the Buddha? Do you have evidence that it was the court ordered by the Buddha? ”

"Amitabha, this is what the Buddha meant." The abbot recited the Buddha's name, trying to calm the fear that rose in his heart.
