Chapter 50: Xuanzang
Liu Fan has been thinking about one thing recently, the distribution of cakes requires a large number of people every day, and the most important thing near Chang'an City is the unemployed, these people take on casual workers every day, and there is no money to make.
This is a kind of sadness, the sadness of the times, even though the soldiers are strong, but the people's livelihood is really bad, although the people are less affected by the war, but they still have to deal with all kinds of conscription, the burden is added layer by layer, but the money earned is getting less and less, so every winter there are people who freeze to death and starve to death on the road.
discussed with Ma Zhou the possibility of a full-time courier, but Ma Zhou shook his head and said: "This matter is not possible, we are now delivering some dignitaries, or the big Goolan Qinglou Restaurant in Fang City, if there is a little problem, it is not something we can afford, my suggestion is to suspend this matter, or use a good family." ”
Liu Fan had no choice but to give up this idea, when a person is full of food and drink, he will show enough love, and when he is rich and rival the country, he will make charity the most lifelong career, fortunately, Liu Fan is not such a virgin now, and there is no virgin in this era.
Putting this matter aside, Liu Fan said again: "The autumn harvest is coming, and there is about to be no grain to sell in Chang'an City, is there enough spare grain in our village?" ”
"Enough, according to the current number of tourists, it can support for another two months, the granary has been sent to strictly guard it, if someone thinks about it, he will naturally suffer the consequences that he can't bear!" Ma Zhou said coldly.
Liu Fan shook his head and said: "Two months is not enough, you will discuss with the Zheng family later, it is best to turn all the money in the family into grain, transport it from other places, and find a way to store grain in the granary for half a year, and maintain it all the time!" ”
"Are you going to make a big move?" Ma Zhou asked curiously.
Liu Fan shrugged his shoulders and poured a cup of tea for Ma Zhou, "There is no big move, but after the autumn harvest, it will be the New Year in a while, and the second New Year's Day after the change of our village, it is natural to find some ways to get some activities, if there are too many people, it is estimated that the consumption during the period will go up to a higher level, and this year's snow is not big or not, some people freeze to death in our village, and it is a joke to say it." ”
Ma Zhou smiled: "Okay, I will do what you said, but before that, I need you to meet Cheng Zhijie in person, he is obviously not so satisfied with the recliner business we gave, after all, Cheng Chumo's face has been broken, if he only takes back such a little thing, he feels shameless." ”
"Did you send the post?" Liu Fan asked.
Ma Zhou nodded, "I sent it, I originally had to wait for half a month, but Cheng Zhijie directly asked you to go in three days!" ”
Liu Fan smiled: "Hey, he can't wait!" ”
Ma Zhou also laughed.
In Datang, a Guogong is not a casual meeting, you need to submit a post in advance, the post enters the inner door and then has half a month to wait for news, if you are willing to see it after half a month, you will order someone to notify you to arrange a time to meet, if you don't have time, then you don't want to see him again.
Liu Fan said: "Prepare some special food, as well as cakes and the like, the first time you meet Guogong, you always have a complete gift, you see what else needs to be prepared, just arrange it!" ”
....
Take the horse out for a walk, this horse was domesticated by Liukin with less wildness, but still full of aggression, walking on the horse road with high toes, Liu Fan was reluctant to ride it, Liukin said that the horse's age is about one year old, and it is really not suitable for riding at present, and it can be mounted in another year.
The name of the horse is stone, and Liu Fan has difficulty in choosing a name, which can be seen from the name given to them according to the gold, wood, water, fire and earth, so the name of the stone also came into being.
Although this horse is young, he is a thief, and he bullies those who have been provoked, and those who can't afford to provoke him run faster than anyone else, and he is very obscene.
Liu Fan really wanted to make it an extremely miraculous horse, and according to legend, Li Shimin was a man who loved horses, and when he died, he made a statue of the horse and put it in the mausoleum for burial.
Liu Fan also wants to make a statue to remember after the stone dies, but at present, it seems that the stone is not a good horse, and only knows how to eat and make trouble.
Someone who brings sake lees is to raise their necks and drink it clean, someone who sends a multigrain cake will keep chewing it in their mouths, someone who sends wild vegetables will also eat a bite, if it is not delicious, they will spit it clean, and those who give it will laugh.
Stone likes to eat eggs the most, and if someone gives it a peeled egg to eat, he will bow his head affectionately so that the person can touch his head.
The children in the village like to feed the stones the most, followed by Liu'an, who always takes the cake to feed the stones, so that the stones follow Liu'an closely behind for a long time.
Walking with a horse, this kind of thing is estimated to be something that only Liu Fan can do, there is enough time, and there is enough money, the key is that he usually doesn't go far, and it is unrealistic to run away with a horse.
On the way, I saw a monk, dressed in tatters, but his complexion was very good, crystal clear, and his eyes were full of wisdom like a pool of deep water.
The monk blocked Liu Fan's way, and Liu Fan asked, "Why did the master stop me for no reason?" Hey, we've seen it before! ”
The monk smiled kindly: "Because the donor has a wisdom root!" ”
Liu Fan had heard this kind of thing a long time ago, and then it was the sales link, Liu Fan didn't want to buy it, so he shook his head and said: "If you want to sell something to me, you are looking for the wrong person, I don't believe in Buddhism!" ”
The monk also smiled and said: "I don't sell anything, but I have felt something recently, so I went down the mountain for a walk, the world is hell everywhere, only here is the fairyland, and the donor's merit is immeasurable!" ”
Liu Fan said: "I can't do anything to save the common people, and it has nothing to do with me if they live well, it's just the result of personal efforts!" ”
"But the prince didn't do it to the point where you did, but made the people complain, and he had no choice but to stop changing and order others to take over!" The monk continued.
Liu Fan had also heard that Li Chengqian took a workshop to experiment with the model of Linjia Village, but unfortunately, it was not grounded enough, so it could only end in failure.
The monk saw that Liu Fan did not speak, so he continued: "What does the donor think of the Tang Buddhism today? ”
"I don't understand, you're looking for the wrong person!" Liu Fan slowly shook his head and said, his heart full of vigilance.
The monk smiled: "The old immortal will not deceive people after all, those who believe in him naturally have a reason to believe, why should Xiao Langjun be too humble!" ”
Liu Fan's eyes flickered, and he already had a murderous intent in his heart, this monk knew a lot, the old fairy would definitely not release his news, naturally the monk used other methods to investigate himself, no matter what the reason was, people should not stay in this world.
"Amitabha! The donor is murderous! The monk's face was still calm, with a quiet smile on his face.
Liu Fan said: "Does the master have a name? ”
"Poor monk law number Xuanzang!" Monk Shi Lidao.
