Chapter 148: Establishment

All sentient beings who have not been liberated have an uncertain nature, and their bad habits are finished, and their good habits are fruitful. For good and evil, born from one realm to another.

Chen Liu did not let Tantuo Temple do things for the deceased in vain, and he was responsible for everything that was needed. Tantuo Temple also did not refuse the incense money offered by Chen Liu.

When both parties first know that there is no greedy nature, then money is just money, and it is not tainted with utilitarianism and copper stench.

Tantuo Temple did not perfunctory this matter, the presiding over the Dharma is the lecture master in the temple, and the Buddhist cultivation is particularly profound.

There were a total of 100 monks in the team, and there was also an old monk who swept the floor, and they came to the Qinyi Zhai together with various kinds of magic weapons.

The monks left and right the court, tried to find the altar, burned incense and worshiped the sky, there were prayer flags fluttering, five fruits were enshrined, and the sound of Buddhist music.

The old monk of the scripture teacher is dressed in a robe, wears a crown of five Buddhas, holds a rattle in his hand, and recites the mantra of returning to the truth by mouth, and the Sutra of Great Compassion and Great Compassion.

The disciples of Tantuo Temple also followed the scripture master to excite the wonderful law.

Between the courtyards, the pure qi rises, the turbid qi sinks, the resentment disappears, and the soul returns to the truth.

A colorful butterfly flutters freely around everyone, unrestrained.

It drives the clear sound of Buddhism between heaven and earth, falls into every corner of the courtyard, and cleanses every trace of evil.

The more than 1,000 people who were rescued were also sitting cross-legged not far away. Their diseases have been cured, just like ordinary people.

They all had an additional god in their hearts, who saved them from hell and gave them hope of life.

Although they have not been shaved, they do not need to be shaved, they have already become believers in the Guangyin Sect.

Recite the Heart Sutra of Freedom and Freedom, worship the Bodhisattva and the Dharma Protector, eliminate evil and overcome misfortune, and save suffering.

At the end of the procession, Chen Liu and Wanqiu also recited scriptures quietly and spent time together.

Looking at the golden points of light gradually rising in the sky, Chen Liu felt a lot more at ease.

The matter of reincarnation is not clear, but the deceased has passed away, and the living can only do this, asking for hope.

Although it was because of the influence of the Heavenly Curse that Chen Liu had poured so much emotion here, he was originally such a person.

If you are poor, you will be good alone, and if you are good, you will help the world.

Wanqiu held Chen Liu's hand tightly, and the warmth of each other would be transmitted to each other.

At this point, the butterfly flies back to them.

Souls that had turned into golden light lingered around them, as if thanking them for what they had done. Z.br>

"Aren't you leaving?"

Chen Liu asked the fluttering butterfly.

Wanqiu finally found their true spirits, and they don't have to live forever and can't live forever.

The butterfly just hovered around Chen Liu and Wanqiu, unwilling to travel far.

It finally turned into a hairpin and fell into Chen Liu's hands.

"Don't want to leave? Then stay for now. We'll get you there when you want to leave."

Chen Liu did not choose to force it to leave, respecting its own wishes.

He put the hairpin made of butterflies into Wanqiu's hair.

With the protection of the fourth Buddha master, the butterfly that turns into a hairpin will always retain the right to choose.

Wanqiu leaned closer to Chen Liu's side and quietly admired with him the true spirit that flew up to the nine heavens.

"Leaving soon?"

"Hmm. I'm not going around you with no conscience."

Wanqiu's visit was actually an unplanned thing.

She put down the affairs of the Guangyin Sect, and left behind the four Dharma protectors and the five immortals of the Northeast to come to Zhangzhou, which is actually a bit capricious.

"When are you going home?"

"It's not clear how I'll go home, but I'll go to Dragon Tiger Mountain."

The news was quite pleasantly surprised.

After a while, the end of this trip in Jiangnan is Longhu Mountain.

It won't be long before they meet again.

"Then I'll go first."

"Don't you need to give some parting gifts?"

Wanqiu met Chen Liu's request.

A parting kiss, goodbye to the dragon and tiger.

"Tut-tut, you're so happy."

"Why is Sister Youlan here?"

After Wanqiu left, Youlan appeared beside Chen Liu.

For the relationship between the two of them, Youlan really felt a little sighing. After a few months of simple business trips, I came to visit the class in just a few days.

But after sighing, she also said the purpose of the trip.

"The prince is looking for you."

This made Chen Liu a little surprised.

He was confused for a few days, and the cleanup of Zhangzhou should have been completed.

The prince called him over this time, I don't know if it was for the sixteen characters inscribed outside Qinyi Zhai, or if he wanted to start rebuilding on the ruins.

Qingxiao Courtyard, not only has rockeries and strange stones, but also a real hill.

Although the mountain is not high, it can be interesting to climb. Climb to the top of the mountain, and you can also overlook Zhangzhou.

Chen Liu took the gold-sprinkled paper fan given to him by the prince in Tantuo Temple, passed the guard's inspection, and climbed along the winding mountain road.

Halfway up the mountain, Chen Liu was intercepted.

His Highness Mo Li came here early today to wait for him.

She also changed into a very delicate outfit today.

The whole coat is light purple, which can be said to be dressed in clouds and feathers, decorated with gilt emerald carvings and various color patterns.

Wearing a phoenix hairpin, stepping on cloud boots, Eguan Bo belt, red flying cui dance, it is really a beautiful girl.

She still had a veil on her face, covering her face.

"Little Liuzi!"

Hearing the princess's call, Chen Liu had no choice but to immediately come over and salute Mo Li and greet respectfully:

"See Her Highness the Princess."

Mo Li snorted, and let Chen Liu be exempted.

She knew that Chen Liu was here to see the prince, so she didn't delay too much, and asked straight to the point:

"She's your wife?"

"Yes, but not yet."

The answer, which I had already known, got a clear reply at this time.

Not going through the door means that you have to go through the door.

"What about Momei?"

"Uh...... My lord, she has someone she likes."

"She's been missing for days. You're not worried?"

"Your Highness, in fact, she is much more powerful than the lowly position."

Mo Li didn't come up with any useful answers, and he didn't understand what he was asking.

In the end, she could only say a few words of greeting, and then waved Chen Liu away.

Chen Liu then bowed and left, leaving Mo Li alone to knock on chess pieces on the pavilion halfway up the mountainside, with a lot of thoughts.

After Chen Liu reached the top of the mountain, the first person he saw was not Li Wan, but the two sword masters.

The white-haired knife master directly snatched the thundering knife from Chen Liu's waist and pulled it out of the scabbard.

The blade is tough and sharp.

The knife master was also sincerely admired, and said:

"A knife is a good knife, but I don't know if a person is a good person."

"Not a good person. But this is indeed a good sword, and it was given to you by the Ruler."

Chen Liu saw the move and did not flinch.

The knife master stared at Chen Liu for a few moments, but did not find a trace of panic, and then slapped the thundering knife back into the scabbard with one palm.

The secret prince has another piece of information, and this person has a lot to do with the prison.

It is impossible for such a person to help others refine weapons at will.

In the end, the knife master only said one sentence:

"A good horse with a good saddle, a good knife with a good man." You're a little worse off."

Chen Liu accepted the words of the knife master, bent over, and said:

"Thank you for your advice."

The swordsman nodded slightly, then stepped aside.

Although he wanted to behead Chen Liu several times because of Mo Li, after seeing the previous relationship between Chen Liu and Wanqiu, he naturally would not be embarrassed anymore

He.

Chen Liu also looked at the sword master on the other side.

The swordsman didn't speak, but silently drew the long sword in his arms.

Chen Liu knew what the swordsman meant, so he pulled out the thundering knife, held it in his hand, and said:

"Please teach your seniors."

A sword stabbed out immediately, and Chen Liu could not avoid it.

The tip of the sword was only less than half an inch away from Chen Liu's eyebrows in an instant, and it could kill him at any time.

It's just that Chen Liu didn't panic at all, not only did his eyes stare at the long sword, but the thundering sword in his hand also moved forward for half a minute in an instant.

"Yes."

The swordmaster then collected his sword and disappeared with the swordmaster.

In the stone pavilion not far away, Li Wanzheng raised his glass and invited Chen Liu to come over.

Chen Liu immediately took the thundering knife back into its scabbard, walked into the pavilion, and saluted the prince:

"Your Highness."

"Sit down."

So the two sat opposite each other on either side of the stone table, and there were drinks and an endgame on the table.

Chen Liu has indeed dabbled in the way of Go, and his level is not as good as that of national players, but he can be a master among amateur players.

At the beginning of the Shanglin School Palace in Chang'an, he instructed the two of them to play a game. It's just that they started fighting......

"How? What's next?"

The black and white twins are fighting, at this moment it is white attacking and defending, and the white has eaten a lot of sunspots, and the situation is very good.

However, Chen Liu also saw that although Bai Zi had the advantage, he had more than enough attack and insufficient defense.

It seems that the white is pressed black, but there are also defects in the white seed. If the layout cannot be reorganized in time, the sunspot may resurrect and even attack and defend the alien.

"It's time for Your Highness to re-establish."

Chen Liu didn't hide it, picked up a chess piece, and landed it in the inherent board where the white son occupied most of it.

"Elaborate."

Hearing this, Li Wan was sure that Chen Liu really had a clever plan.

He didn't want to treat the symptoms but not the root cause, so he had been thinking hard about how to prevent Zhangzhou City from falling again after they left.

A new system is urgently needed, and how to develop it is the focus.

Chen Liu came up with a strategy he had already thought of: a commercial tax system.

The problem of Zhangzhou City is difficult to entangle with the intervention of other forces, and it is more necessary to start from internal causes.

At this time, it is not a troubled time, although the use of heavy canons can prevent corruption, but it will also easily lead to the phenomenon of corpse vegetarian meals, not seeking merit, but seeking no fault.

Repeating the canon is a must, of course, but it's not the point.

Corruption and corruption are core in money.

The so-called economic base determines the superstructure, which is particularly appropriate for a mall like Zhangzhou City.

The economic phenomenon of the monopoly of the Zhangzhou chaebol often requires some kind of deal with the local government. Only by colluding with officials and businessmen can they gain benefits.

So......

"The major merchant groups must be divided, and it is difficult for small merchants to regen."

Since the founding of the Great Liang, it has been more enlightened than previous dynasties. Although agriculture is still heavy and business is suppressed, and heavy taxes are levied, it has not suppressed business travel, and in some places it is quite encouraged.

Chen Liu's so-called commercial tax is a hierarchical tax share.

Large merchants pay heavy taxes, and small traders pay light taxes.

"This will not deter the merchants, and it will also prevent the merchants from getting bigger. I have calculated that this will not affect the income of the household department, and it will also promote the development of commerce, which will be beneficial to the increase of the imperial court's finances in the long run."

There is another thing that Chen Liu did not say, that is, to benefit the people.
