Tang Yun had to go to Lingyun Temple with all the pilgrims to burn incense for the Buddha, Zhu Wenyu didn't think so, his teacher Chen Laofuzi is a person of high morality, who believes in Confucianism, and only says that "saints exist and don't care" for the two schools of Buddhism, and they don't comment, but they never believe in any Buddhism. The students he taught, Zhu Wenyu, were really not interested in the study of the imperial examination, but Old Master Chen had not learned all the strange theories of the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism, so he never believed in the reincarnation of cause and effect in the past and future lives, nor did he believe in the study of Huang Lao, but he was also half-incomprehensible to the study of the Confucian way and the sage, so he didn't believe in anything. At this time, seeing that Tang Yun was going to burn incense, he smiled secretly in his heart, and ignored it, but he was pulled by Tang Yun again, so he had no choice but to follow her to the temple to watch her burn a pillar of incense, and worship a few times religiously, but he stood by beside him, Tang Yun wanted to pull him to kneel but refused to live or die, until Tang Yun was a little angry, so he knelt down helplessly and kowtowed, and immediately stood up, "fluttering" and chuckling. Tang Yun glanced at him and ignored him.

Out of the Buddha Hall, Tang Yun had a seizure: "What were you laughing at just now?" ”

"I didn't ...... It's nothing. ”

"Huh? Say it! Let's be honest!" This is coercion.

"It's really nothing." Zhu Wenyu pretended to be wronged.

"Please, say...... Tell me. Tang Yun shook Zhu Wenyu's arm. This is the temptation of tenderness.

"Nope...... Just laughed casually, what's so strange about that? Zhu Wenyu still refused to say.

"Stinky boy, do you want to say it? Don't say I'm ignoring you. Tang Yun's tone changed again.

Zhu Wenyu knew that Tang Yun was really angry this time, so he had to explain honestly: "It's ...... It's nothing, it's just a pair of pairs. ”

"What pair? Tell me about it? Tang Yun was curious and hurriedly asked.

"I used to read in books, talking about Bodhisattvas, let's not talk about it, you may be unhappy if you say it."

"Speak quickly!" Tang Yun had to ask clearly.

"Hmm...... That pair is: chanting scriptures can be superborn, is Hades afraid of monks? The sacrifice is blessed, and sure enough, the Bodhisattva is a corrupt official. Zhu Wenyu looked at Tang Yun while reading.

Tang Yun looked at Zhu Wenyu blankly for a long time, snorted suddenly, turned around and left.

Zhu Wenyu hurriedly followed: "Yun'er, Yun'er!"

Zhu Wenyu took Tang Yun to Leshan, in addition to playing the Lingyun Buddha, in Danling County has asked Sun Changxu clearly, in this Leshan boat, along the Min River, you can go straight into the Yangtze River, and then along the Yangtze River through the Three Gorges into Hubei, through the Dongting to Jiangsu, you can go directly to Yingtian Beijing, he came to this Leshan is to take a boat to change the waterway.

On the second day, Zhu Wenyu and the two left their horses in the inn, and first went to the wharf to listen to the news of the passenger ship going south along the river, looking for people to explore the path, and finally found the waterway wharf in the east of the city.

I saw that the streets along the river were full of people coming and going, and it was very lively, but the wharf was deserted, and there were few boats scattered in the river, and there were very few wooden rafts. Zhu Wenyu is quite strange, when he was in Danling County, when he asked about the route along the road, the county order Moduo once said that the cold winter was the dry season, and now the cold winter is gone, the early spring has just entered, and there are not many passenger ships, which is common sense, but now the tide of early spring is rising, but it should be the time to release the row of wood, this Minjiang River should be full of wooden rows waiting to go down the river and go straight into the Central Plains, but now how can even this wooden row be counted, and the entire river is empty and lifeless? There must be a reason for this.

As soon as Zhu Wenyu and Tang Yun said it, Tang Yun also felt strange. Zhu Wenyu was not in a hurry, and pulled Tang Yun into a tea shop by the dock.

"Little Er, let's have a pot of tea!" As soon as he entered the shop, Zhu Wenyu shouted.

"It's coming—" Sure enough, a guy came. "What do you want to drink?"

"What good tea do you have here?" Zhu Wenyu asked with a big grin.

"The guest officer is a foreigner, right? We have everything we need for good tea here, Dongting Biluochun, West Lake Longjing, Anxi Tieguanyin, Huangshan Maofeng, Wuyi Dahongpao, Junshan Silver Needle, Frozen Top Oolong, Lu'an Gua Pian, Yunnan Pu'er Tea, Qimen Black Tea, what do you want, do you see what you want? ”

"You still have these goods in this place? The best big red robe only produces two or three catties a year, you will also have it? It's not bad, then let's have a pot of big red robes, I'll try to see if it's a real guy. Zhu Wenyu deliberately had a problem.

The guy really looked ashamed: "Look at the guest officer, you are afraid that you are an expert, and the small ones dare not deceive the guest officers, these teas are just name signs, soliciting guests, deceiving laymen, you are an expert, the small shop does not dare to offer ugliness, the small one will tell you the truth, our shop is small, the best tea is not available, but some good tea is poured, or you will always order another one?" ”

"Hehe, I said, okay, look at your face, let's come to the pot of Biluochun." Zhu Wenyu smiled indifferently. He is not good at tea, and he drinks a lot of white water at home, so he only deliberately has a problem, and when he sees Xiao Er bowing his head and admitting his mistakes, he naturally will not be embarrassed.

"Okay-" The guy raised his voice: "Biluochun a pot-", put a white handkerchief on his shoulder, and said: "Wait a minute, the guest officer will come soon-"

When the guy went to greet other guests, Tang Yun laughed in a low voice: "Can't you see, Brother Yu, you also understand tea so well?" ”

"Hehe, I grew up in the palace since I was a child, what tea have I never seen or drunk? It is all the best tea leaves that are tributed, and in his small place, there will be these tribute teas? Don't say no, even if there is, then it is a big crime, and you dare to sell it? It's all bluffing and scaring people. Zhu Wenyu smiled.

"You're a thief!" Tang Yun smiled and grimaced.

"Haha-" Zhu Wenyu laughed.

After a while, the tea was served, the guy stood beside him, poured a cup for Zhu Wenyu, Zhu Wenyu picked it up, took the lid of the cup and gently wiped it on the surface of the water, brushed off the foam, sniffed closely, nodded slightly, took another sip, turned it in his mouth, opened his eyes and glanced at the man: "Well, it's okay, it's a good Biluochun, but it's not the best, and it's still the old tea of the year before last." ”

"The guest officer is really an expert, it is indeed the top grade Biluochun of the year before last, since the guest officer thinks it is still successful, then please use it slowly, the small one will not bother the guest officer here." The guy bent down and said for a long time, threw the handkerchief on his shoulder, and was standing up, Zhu Wenyu hurriedly said: "Wait a minute, junior second, young master, I asked you something." ”

"If the guest officer has anything to do, just tell me." The guy nodded again.

"Let me ask you, why is this Minjiang Wharf so deserted? Bare and don't even have a wooden raft? ”

"Oh, the guest officer is a foreigner, I don't know the reason for this." Xiao Er looked around, lowered his voice and said: "It's been like this for more than half a year, and in the old years, the government issued a notice, saying that it was waterway freight, regardless of the wooden row of the cargo ship, the toll tax was doubled, and a row of timber now actually charges two taels of silver." The people who transport timber on this waterway are to earn a few hard money, and they earn less than two taels by putting a row, plus the road expenses back, the money earned is not enough to pay taxes, and there is no way to live at all, so the transportation of goods is less and less, and it is rare to have a few discharges a month. There is also this wharf, it turns out that each ship will pay five or six copper docking fees every day, and it has also risen by seven or eight percent. Originally, this wharf was the most lively, but as soon as this notice came out, it was much deserted, and even the business of the tea shop was a lot worse. ”

"Raise taxes? A notice from the government? Is it the order of the imperial court? ”

"Then how can we little people know this? Anyway, this is in Leshan County, and the government is our parent official, what do the parents say, don't we ordinary people have to listen? Xiao Er straightened his waist slightly.

"Oh. This affects the livelihood of the squire, doesn't this big squire discuss it with the government? It's better to harvest a few percent less than to be so lonely and have no business, and many people rely on this to make a living. ”

"Isn't it? But who dares to say that? That's a matter of taking money out of the pocket of the Lord of Futai, who would be stupid enough to do this? Last year, the Minjiang gang that ran the Minjiang waterway also made a fuss, and as a result, the Futai Lord gave an order, mobilized the officers and soldiers to beat them down, and cut off two heads, I heard that there were two deputy gang leaders, the gang leader is said to have escaped, anyway, there is no shadow, this matter is like this, no one dares to say more, the boats in the river, the wooden rows, it is getting less and less day by day, it is deserted, alas, there is no way. The guy sighed and shook his head as he spoke.

"Oh, that's right."

"I see that the guest officer is a tea ceremony connoisseur and a foreigner, so it doesn't matter if I talk to you, it's just annoying that the guest officer doesn't talk nonsense everywhere, let alone tell you the little one, even if you are always sympathetic to the small one." The guy seemed to think of something, and quickly added.

"Hehehehehe, look at your scare. Young master, I am passing by, but I feel curious and ask casually, I won't talk nonsense, and I won't say you, so you can rest assured. ”

"Then thank you to the guest officer, the guest officer is slow to use, and the small one has other guests to greet, so I won't accompany the guest officer."

"Go, go, go." Zhu Wenyu smiled and waved his hand.

"Thank you, guest officer, you use it slowly, you have to refill the water and say hello, and the little one will come over immediately." The fellow nodded and stepped back.
