Chapter 53: A Wa Monk
When it comes to making clothes, it's like she's opening the door to a new world.
With a kind of inspiration that I didn't have before.
It turns out that making clothes is such a creative thing.
……
In the Zongzheng Temple that night, Li Xiaogong had just finished dealing with Li Yuanchang's affairs and had some files recorded.
After confirming that it was correct, Li Xiaogong breathed a sigh of relief.
The people who are able to do so at Zongzheng Temple are all relatives of His Majesty.
Although he just glanced at the post house in a hurry that day, Li Xiaogong always felt that the kid was familiar.
Sitting in the Zongzheng Temple, the voice of the maid was heard outside.
Two maids were sweeping the floor.
"I heard that Princess Runan's health has improved a lot."
"After so many years of treatment, I can't be cured, maybe I will get sick again in a few days."
I heard the maid outside the door.
Of course, Li Xiaogong also knows about Princess Runan.
He let out a long sigh and didn't pay much attention to the chatter.
Early the next morning, Zhang Yang came to the post house as usual, and unexpectedly found a monk standing at the door.
After a while, why bother to come with a bag of money.
After closing the door, why bother to unwrap the package and say, "Why is there a strange person standing at the door of this post house?" ”
Zhang Yang nodded, "It's really weird, maybe that person is sick and don't bother with him." ”
The two began to sit on the ground and divide the money.
"Bang!"
The door was kicked open again.
The little fat man swaggered his nostrils and walked into the room.
The door has been crumbling after the ravages of the past few days.
Li Tai was accompanied by a monk.
Zhang Yang frowned and said; "Dare to ask His Royal Highness King Wei, how did this door offend you."
Li Tai said very happily: "If the door is broken, this king will pay." ”
After finishing speaking, Li Tai put a few parts on the table and said, "This king has found a few blacksmiths to build them, what do you want these things for?" ”
Zhang Yang put away these parts, "Use them to make some small objects." ”
Li Tai glanced at Zhang Yang again, "That drawing of yours ......"
Zhang Yang said, "I've sent you." ”
Li Tai recalled that he had given the drawings to the blacksmiths in the Weifu army.
The blacksmiths are all first-rate, and they are also the blacksmiths who forge the sword soldiers on weekdays.
After they saw Zhang Yang's drawings, they felt particularly novel.
I've never seen anyone draw a drawing like this.
The size is also very fine.
Li Tai whispered: "This time the autumn hunt may end early. ”
Zhang Yang was curious: "What's wrong?" ”
His fat face was a little tangled, and Li Tai pondered and said: "Tuyuhun may have an accident, the news has been sent to Lishan, maybe at this time, my father and emperor have planned to return to the palace to discuss matters with the ministers." ”
Zhang Yang said wistfully: "It's a pity, it seems that the business of braised pork will be less than half in the future." ”
"You still care about your business?"
Li Tai was surprised.
Zhang Yang bowed a little and said: "I don't know anything about family and country affairs. ”
Why bother to bow to Li Tai and take the money to buy the goods.
Li Tai looked at the monk standing aside and said, "This is the monk that this king talked about with you before. ”
The monk smiled and said in Guanzhong dialect, which is not fluent: "I have seen Zhang Gongzi, the poor monk is called Haikong. ”
This monk looks only about 1.5 meters tall, and he is not very fat to say fat, and his round face is still greasy.
Fair-skinned like a.
Li Tai smiled and said, "Look at this monk, how white and pure. ”
Zhang Yang nodded thoughtfully, "It's really white." ”
Li Tai was interested again, and said with a smile: "You see that there is no other hair except for his eyebrows and head to his chin, like ......"
Zhang Yang said: "Like a shelled egg? ”
"Hahaha......" Li Tai patted the table and smiled: "Yes, yes, yes, what you said is so right, it's like a shelled egg." ”
The little fat man has a low quality, and his laughter is obviously not high.
Hearing Li Tai's ridicule, the monk's expression was a little displeased, "The people of the Central Plains often say that you can't judge people by their appearance. ”
Zhang Yang said curiously; "This monk speaks very well in the original language."
The monk looked at Zhang Yang and said: "After the poor monks arrived in the Central Plains, many powerful families asked the poor monks to explain the Dharma, and the poor monks would often borrow some books from the Central Plains from them, and they were also very enthusiastic to show the books to the poor monks. ”
Zhang Yang didn't have a good impression of this monk.
Especially a studious monk.
The guy from the post house brought a pot of wine and said, "His Royal Highness King Wei, this is the best grape wine in the Western Regions, do you want to try it?" ”
"Okay."
Li Tai said yes.
The wine is poured into the tavern.
The guy also enthusiastically poured a glass for Zhang Yang.
Downstairs came the sound of drums from the Western Regions.
A girl from the Western Regions, wearing bold clothes, was twisting her waist on the first floor, dancing a bold dance.
Li Tai looked intently at the hot figure and bold dancing posture of this girl from the Western Regions, he took a sip of grape wine and said in a low voice: "You said that we went to the Western Regions back then, are we really for this grape wine?" ”
Zhang Yang gasped, "It turns out that His Royal Highness can still ask such a profound question, I admire it." ”
Li Tai grinned, looked at the monk on the side and said, "Do you think it looks good?" ”
The monk said with a smile on his face, "It's beautiful." ”
Li Tai looked back in surprise, "Shouldn't you monks avoid this kind of scene?" ”
The monk said with a smile on his face; "Even if it is the beauty of the world, why should we avoid it?"
There are also occasional outsiders coming and going in the inn.
Zhang Yang whispered to Li Tai: "King Wei, isn't it a good thing to be a monk?" ”
The words were not loud, and in the quiet room, the monk still heard Zhang Yang's words.
His eyes were puzzled.
Li Tai was puzzled and said, "Where do you say this?" ”
Zhang Yang whispered to him: "His Royal Highness the King of Wei think about it carefully, the so-called Shinong industry and commerce, even if it is a merchant in the lower class, it is also to promote economic development, not to mention the farmer and worker, without a merchant we can't buy silk from the south, mutton from the north, yes or no?" ”
Li Tai nodded slightly.
Zhang Yang continued: "There are only monks, their profession is not among the Shinong industry and commerce, but they are exempt from taxes, and they also recruit a large number of people, their existence is only bad for the country, not the slightest benefit, as their strength expands, this disadvantage will become more obvious." ”
Hearing this, Li Tai nodded clearly, "No wonder my father has always wanted to make the monk return to the vulgar for the past two years." ”
"Monks always say that the six roots are pure, but do they worship the Buddha? They worship only what their hearts think. ”
After speaking, Zhang Yang patted Li Tai's shoulder and said, "That's all I have to say, I'll leave first." ”
Seeing that Zhang Yang was leaving, the monk walked to the door and stopped him and said, "Zhang Gongzi, why do you slander our monks so much. ”
But in the face of the tall Zhang Yang, the monk could only raise his head.
Zhang Yang continued to walk out of the room and stumbled into the monk.
When I walked downstairs, I heard this Japanese monk say something in Japanese language.
Doesn't sound like a good thing.
Zhang Yang looked back at him.
It seemed that he was a little weak-hearted, and the monk hurriedly avoided his eyes.
Zhang Yang left the post house and returned home.
Take out the quiver you designed earlier and put the parts on one by one.
This time the whole quiver is complete.
Pull the small bowstring to the fullest and buckle it.
Then put the small arrows on the quiver,
Ready for everything, Zhang Yang put the quiver on his hand and aimed at a piece of pork hanging on the wall.
A hand pulls the rope loop, and the sound of a small bowstring vibrating.
Three arrows shot silently from the wrist, stabbing the pork on the wall.
The arrow went so deep that half of the arrow almost got into the pork.
If this is shot on people, you can imagine it.
Don't look at the small sleeve, the lethality is not small at all.
It's just that it's a bit of a hassle to rewind.
Li Yue was surprised to see this scene, "You really made this murderous thing?" ”
Zhang Yang took off his sleeves and said: "This thing is carried on my body, and I usually hide it in my sleeve, and it can be used for assassination and self-defense when I am critical." ”
Li Yue picked up the sleeve and observed, and there were two assembled sleeves.
One big, one small.
Obviously, the small one is for himself, and the big one is for Zhang Yang.
Li Yue took the sleeve and said, "We can take it with us when we go out." ”
"Hmm."
Zhang Yang nodded
This kind of lethal thing, Li Yue seems to be a little scared.
That night, Zhang Yang fell asleep while lying in bed, and heard the sound of digging in the yard again.
I saw that the little daughter-in-law was digging the soil and burying money.
After burying the money, he washed his hands and his little face, and returned to the house to see Zhang Yang looking at him.
Zhang Yang looked at the courtyard and whispered, "Why don't I make you a safe?" ”
The moonlight poured in from outside the door and shone on Li Yue's little face.
Li Yue asked, "What is a safe?" ”
"It's a box that only you can open, and no one else can open it."
“emm……”
Zhang Yang said in a low voice: "Do you remember Huarong Dao? ”
Li Yue nodded and said, "Of course I remember." ”
Zhang Yang continued: "We put the key in one of the chess pieces of Huarong Dao, and only by walking out of that chess piece can we get the key. ”
Li Yue whispered: "Then what if I can't get out?" Isn't there no one to open it? ”
"Then how about a different one, using a Rubik's cube?"
Li Yue pondered: "How do you make the key to the Rubik's Cube?" ”
Zhang Yang said: "I can make a new Rubik's Cube, and then make a machine expansion in the Rubik's Cube, and when you go to the pattern you want, the machine expansion inside the Rubik's Cube can open the safe." ”
After listening to these words.
Li Yue knew that Zhang Yang's craftsmanship was skillful, but ......
She squatted on the ground with a look of grievance, her fingers drew circles and said, "But I can't even play the Rubik's Cube......"
Zhang Yang patted her on the shoulder and comforted: "It's okay, then let's continue to plow the ground every night." ”
Late at night, the couple sat at home and whispered.
On the other side of Chang'an City, Li Tai was also thinking about what Zhang Yang had said during the day.
The desk in front of me was full of files.
These dossiers record the development of Buddhism over the years.
I don't know if I don't see it, and I'm shocked when I see it.
Unexpectedly, under the years of war and chaos in the past few years, Buddhism has developed better.
There are even people in Buddhism who collude with the powerful to forcibly expropriate land.
However, these cases were finally learned about in the end, and they were all hastily understood.
In the past two days, the father has been trying to boost the population and encourage widows to remarry.
Because of the continuous war, the population of Guanzhong is insufficient.
And the faster Buddhism develops, the more monks there are.
These monks are monks, they don't give birth, and they don't participate in taxes.
Even Buddhism recruited monks, resulting in an extreme shortage of strong labor in some places.
Even so, at the moment when there was a shortage of labor, they were still recruiting monks on a large scale.
The father is really well-intentioned to let the monk return to the world.
Li Tai rubbed his sour eyes from looking at the case file, and compiled the information he had collected on the case file into a chapter, planning to present it to his father in a few days.
Two days later, because of the change of Tuyuhun, Li Shimin's autumn hunt ended early.
Zhang Yang is planning his second business plan.
The braised pork is really good.
Even if the autumn hunt is over, the signboard is over.
The store is also on the right track, as long as it is operating steadily, it can still have a stable income every day.
Zhang Yang carried a fishing rod and fished by a river on the outskirts of Chang'an City.
I thought about making a bowl of fish soup for my daughter-in-law at night.
Fortunately, the family now has a stable income.
There are many businesses that can be bought and sold in Datang.
In fact, making soap is also a good business.
Li Tai hurried over with two guards.
This little fat man can't shake off like a dog skin plaster.
Li Tai came all the way and said, "I finally understand what you said before, Buddhism is really only bad and not good for Sheji." ”
Zhang Yang said expressionlessly: "It is a blessing that His Royal Highness King Wei can figure out such a profound question, how can there be no wine to celebrate." ”
The voice fell.
Li Tai looked back at his guards and said, "Did you hear that, go get the drink!" ”
"Whoa!"
The guards followed Li Tai all the way, and before they could rest for a while, they ran to buy wine again.
It's strange to be the prince's guard.
Zhang Yang asked, "How is that monk?" ”
Li Tai sat down by the river, "How do I know, this king and he are not familiar with each other. ”
Zhang Yang said again: "Does His Royal Highness King Wei know about the specimen? ”
"Specimens? What is it? ”
"People often dry some insects and leaves, absorb the moisture in them, and then put them at home as specimens for viewing."
"And this method?"
Zhang Yang smiled and said: "Yes, in fact, His Royal Highness the King of Wei can also bleed that monk and dry it, dry it, and then hollow out the flesh and blood organs, make it into a specimen, and hang it at home." ”
A gust of wind blew.
It's obviously broad daylight, because of Zhang Yang's words.
I always feel that there is a gust of wind around me.
Originally, the atmosphere was not bad, but after Zhang Yang said this, there was a little more slaughter, and people couldn't help but fight a cold war, as if there were a few gusts of wind blowing.
Li Tai said in a low voice: "This is too cruel, let's talk about it!" Even if you do, why hang at home. ”
Zhang Yang looked at the river and said: "You can not only appreciate it from time to time, but also ward off evil spirits." ”
"Hiss......"
Li Tai gasped, "I didn't think before, but when I listened to Brother Zhang's words today, I didn't expect your taste to be quite unique." ”
The guards had brought a jar of wine and two bowls.
Li Tai poured a bowl of wine and said, "The beautiful scenery by the river matches, how can there be no wine." ”
