74 Holy Monk 33

In the capital, in the secret box of a restaurant, Director Zhang sat here for a long time.

He was patient, because the guest he was waiting for today was the Emperor.

Soon after, the emperor finally arrived.

The emperor came here today to share the account with Director Zhang, and looking at the thick silver ticket in his hand, he was in a very happy mood.

As an emperor, he accepted the concept that the emperor was rich from all over the world and did not compete with the people for profit, and it was impossible for the emperor to do business.

This wool business, he is to weaken the strength of the grassland to let people do, this strategy must not be described as poisonous, because the purchase of this wool has the emperor's participation in the mid-term matter, it must not be spread.

So he had to buy wool through a few tight-mouthed and well-behaved merchants.

He thought that even if he lost money, he would continue to do this business for a long time, but he didn't expect to make so much money.

This made the emperor ponder for a long time, he felt that the inner treasury still had to have silver, if he only relied on the treasury, every time he wanted to build a palace, he had to fight with his courtiers.

His little prince can't live such a miserable life in the future!

Besides, just listen to the excuse of not competing with the people, which female family member of those courtiers doesn't have a shop or something?

"Your Majesty, the Hu people have become shrewd, and they may also see the relationship between wool and sweaters, so when they collected wool for the second time, they raised the price of wool." Director Zhang's chubby face, his eyes were about to be worried, "There is also this woolen thread machine, I'm afraid it won't be kept secret for long, the minister's workshop has no less than ten groups of people to investigate this month, if it weren't for the emperor sent a secret guard to guard, I'm afraid that those spies will be able to steal the machine." ”

Director Zhang is really worried.

The profit of this sweater factory is very high, and now it is only in the hands of the emperor alone, and I don't know how much money it makes for him every year.

If someone steals the machine, it is definitely a huge loss for the sweater factory.

The emperor took a sip of tea unhurriedly, "Shuwu Shan is already shrewd, he controls the largest grassland, has the largest flock, if he is not moved, I still suspect that something is wrong with him." ”

But he didn't expect it, he thought he saw the second layer, but in fact they were on the fourth layer.

The Emperor won't let his rivals get their way.

After saying this, Director Zhang said: "There is a thing called milk powder on the grassland, and it is said that children can grow up quickly and strengthen their bodies after drinking it. He spoke carefully for the master, "I heard that Master Xuanji made it, and he accidentally let the Hu people know the secret of the milk powder, the Hu people are very treacherous, and the milk powder is sold very expensive." ”

The emperor was noncommittal, careless? He didn't believe it!

Director Zhang sighed secretly, Master Xuanji has great skills and is kind to the royal family, but he is not pure as a monk, how can he take his son to be a monk?

The child named Jiang Siyin is obviously from the Central Plains, but he wants to be a Hu person, and I don't know what the master thinks.

How good the Central Plains is, the grassland lacks everything.

The child is still young, and now he can still be educated when he returns to Daqing, if he is older, he will definitely be marked with the sign of the grassland after returning to Daqing, and there will be no place for him in Daqing.

The emperor's face was dark, and he could not see joy or anger.

Director Zhang was full of worries and quietly left the restaurant, although he was fat, his steps were not as bulky as a fat man, but he walked fast and his brain was spinning

Fast.

He thought back to the scene just now,

It seems that the emperor still trusts the master?

Tieman's old Shan Yu also values the master,

The spies he stayed in the border market said that Lao Shan Yu even sent two Hu men to serve the master.

are all smart people, who doesn't know what Lao Shan Yu's purpose is to send the two Hu people, it is to monitor and guard, this is to prevent the master from leaving the grassland.

Director Zhang thought of what the master tossed out, to be honest, if he didn't know the inside story, he really thought that the master had poured out his heart and lungs for the grassland.

Don't you see how much better life is for Hu people now? It's even better than most of the people in the Central Plains.

However, those black feather grasses were also planted in the dry and cold places of the Central Plains, and the same was true for the wheat.

Last month, he had a boat returning from overseas bringing back a plant called sweet potatoes to plant in the spring.

It seems that the master said that sweet potatoes are several times more productive than wheat?

Thinking of this, Director Zhang's eyes narrowed with a smile.

The emperor said that if there was really several times the production, he would give him a knighthood.

Is he the first businessman in Daqing history to be knighted because of business?

The Emperor now attached great importance to the power of merchants, and he heard from his brother-in-law that the Emperor even wanted to knight a small number of merchants who had made outstanding contributions.

Although there is no real power and no money, and there will be a downgrade, businessmen will still rush to it.

**

The prosperity of the mutual market exceeded many people's expectations.

The good life of the Hu people made the people of Daqing on the border very envious, and some wealthy merchants and officials in the capital complained about Master Xuanji while making milk powder for their children.

"Obviously he is from the Central Plains, but he is bent on the Hu people, so many good things are brought by him to the Hu people! Now that the Hu people are rich, they will definitely be able to raise more war horses, and in the future, the two countries will fight, and Master Xuanji will be the culprit! He's an enemy! ”

"No, he must be impeached, he is a traitor!"

So on this day, there were many people who impeached Master Xuanji.

The people of the capital paid close attention to this matter, and they also knew that Master Xuanji had been impeached by the imperial envoy.

Soon, they were happy to hear news from the palace, it was said that the emperor was quite unswerving about what Master Xuanji had done, and had directly withdrawn most of the favor he had given him for allowing the crown prince to be born smoothly.

When the news that Master Xuanji was in the Central Plains and was rejected by all the Daqing people reached the grassland, it was the time when the winter snow melted and the spring grass was green.

The long winter has finally passed, the people have moved back, and the area around the temple is bustling again.

This winter, the livestock not only did not lose meat, but also grew some meat.

The herders were overjoyed.

Every winter, they are most afraid that the livestock will lose weight if they eat hay, and they will freeze to death, but now with the master's fodder recipe, their property has finally been saved.

The monks and Taoist priests sent to the grassland by the emperor of the Central Plains finally opened up the situation this winter.

What makes people laugh and cry is that they are not because of their preaching or medical skills, but because of the popularity of the Hu people because of the Daqing dialect.

"If we learn the official language of Daqing, we can bargain with those Daqing businessmen!" Hu Ren said energetically.

When the weather becomes warmer, the wool can be harvested again, and there is milk powder, which I heard is a precious thing in Daqing

(),

? ()"Come to []??, see the latest chapter?" Full Chapter'(),

With these two things alone, they could make a lot of money!

Hearing the news from the Central Plains, Lao Shan Yu's reaction was to add a large amount of sesame oil money to Master Xuanji, and openly and secretly squeezed the Central Plains Emperor.

The master's face was pale, and he couldn't see joy or sorrow, but he just held the Buddha beads and chanted the Buddha.

The reaction of those low- and middle-level Hu people was to donate gold to the Bodhisattva.

The temple built by Master Xuanji himself was very simple, and the enthusiastic Hu people bought the lacquer of the Central Plains at a high price, and painted the temple to a golden and brilliant color, and even the Bodhisattva was plated with a golden body.

Jiang He couldn't help but rub his blinded eyes, and felt that his career was doing well.

Look at how positive those Hu people are, how firm the heart of the Buddha is, in Daqing he wants to gild the Bodhisattva with a golden body, and I don't know how much effort it takes.

Shuwu Shan Yu once signaled to monitor the master's two-hu guards, and it is best to leave Master Xuanji's heart on the grassland.

Facts have proved that the master does have the intention to stay in the grassland, and the things he did are similar to traitors to the people of Daqing, and now Daqing has a bad feeling for him, and he will definitely not be happy to go back.

Hu Ren, who has already tasted the benefits of farming, is consulting Master Xuanji, he is a cow man who can grow stone and half wheat, even if he is the best slave in the grassland, at most he only grows stone.

Master Xuanji taught them to accumulate fertilizer, "The land must be fertilized, otherwise the harvest will be bad." ”

However, cow dung and sheep dung and the like were all picked up by the Hu people, which was good fuel.

As for the people, it is simple to be convenient, the nobles are also particular, they will make a gong bucket or something like that, let the slaves fall into the grass outside the tent during the day, and the lower Hu people are to defecate in the grassland, so they should fertilize the grass.

So the Hu people were very obedient and built simple latrines, which were all farmhouse fertilizers that the master said in the future.

Jiang Siyin was very pleased with this.

God knows how broken his heart every time he walked in the grassland, whenever he accidentally stepped on the "gold". In the future, when you play hide and seek in the grass with your friends, you don't have to worry about stepping on things that you shouldn't be stepping on.

The new image of the temple is too eye-catching, and the Hu people who come and go can't help but take a few more looks.

The second prince and the prince were the same, every time they were blinded by the golden color, a wave of killing intent would swell in their hearts.

In the past, in the spring, the Hu people would find time to exercise.

They are a people on horseback, and the bloodline of plunder is left from their ancestors.

However, now, the Hu people in the spring are busy planting wheat and grass, and they are all counting on a good harvest in the autumn.

Even the children who have fun everywhere every spring, such as wrestling, fighting, and horse racing, also follow the adults to plant wheat.

Busy children look at the fields where wheat seeds are sown and fantasize about sweet snacks when the wheat is harvested.

Batu, the master's son, was the most envied of the children of the steppe, and the snacks he ate were all delicious that they had never tasted in their lives, and they were said to be made of wheat.

They also want to eat and eat every day.

The adult working next to him woke up the child with a slap, how expensive sugar is, and he eats it every day, why can't he go to heaven!

Every time the second prince and the prince saw this scene, they wanted to kill the bald head more and more.

Children who used to be keen on war games have now become full of hearts

() Food, and all took the initiative to work in the fields, the future of the grassland is worrying!

The next generation can't fight, and the older generation who can fight will not be able to fight after the grassland retreats

Don't you want to be beaten by the Central Plains?

**

After the wheat was planted, the clay kiln built by Master Genji last autumn became popular.

After a warm winter, the Hu people are about to migrate again.

When they moved, they had to abandon the earthen kang they had built last year, and the distress in their hearts was mentioned, and there was no need to abandon the earthen kang if there was a fixed house.

If you have to hire someone to build the kang every winter, no amount of money will be wasted.

Although they can move back to their places next winter to spend the winter, the kang left behind is not covered by tents, no one takes care of it, the wind and rain blow, and the grass grows wildly, and by next winter, it will definitely be too bad to use.

If only there was a brick house like Master Xuanji, the ondol would definitely not be broken.

Some Hu people deliberately went to the homes of those Hu people who had built houses, and found that their cattle and sheep were all fine, no matter how strong the wind on the grassland was, and it couldn't be cold even if there was a soil kang.

Seeing this, they want to build a house even more, even if they live by water, they can still settle in winter.

Moreover, the land around the place where they settled was suitable for making wheat.

The Hu people finally saw that the people who built the house last autumn had the surrounding land that could grow wheat by default.

Looking at it this way, they must also hurry up to build a house, occupy the land and plant things, in case it is too late, the good land will be snatched away by others.

Soon, kilns were built on the grassland, and countless bricks were burned.

Then one house after another was built.

During this period, there were many fights over the most suitable fields for growing wheat.

Sang Ya's father looked at the two Hu people who were beaten with blue noses and swollen faces, and secretly rejoiced that his family's house was built early, otherwise how could he survive the fight with so few family members?

Contradictions emerged faster than the river expected.

He sighed deeply, now that the external threat was gone, he began to fight inwardly, this is the nature of human beings, it seems that they are going to leave early.

The parrot said, "If you leave for no reason, the people on this side of the grassland will hate you." ”

After all, the Hu people loved Master Xuanji so much, thinking that he was sincerely staying in the grassland, and would definitely regard his departure as a betrayal.

Jiang He smiled like a white lotus at the parrot: "So the poor monk has to find someone to blame, the poor monk's idol burden is a bit heavy, and he wants to maintain an innocent image all the time." Well, the poor monk has to make his image better, and if the good things are destroyed, can they inspire hatred? ”

In the end, I don't know what he thinks, his face is full of joy.

The parrot dies directly in the eyes of the fish, it shouldn't worry about him, the heart of the dog host is so dirty, why does it need a system to worry about?

It's better to go and play with Haidongqing.

Ever since the two Hu scouts were stationed in the temple, the parrot had rarely opened its mouth to speak in front of people.

Even Jiang Siyin's education was taken over by Jiang He, who walked around the grassland every day when he had nothing to do, and sometimes lay on Hai Dongqing's back and drove around.

Hai Dongqing was particularly flattering to this parrot.

I don't know how good a parrot's eyes are, and it can hide under the grass and don't move rabbits

found that with a big financier, Hai Dongqing has never lacked food.

**

Although there is a mutual market, there are still many caravans in the Central Plains who like to come to receive goods, and they will come every spring and autumn.

Hu Ren was also very happy to save some stall fees, especially the business-minded prince, who collected a lot of wool in advance, and also boasted about the milk powder in his name with the merchants of Daqing.

The purpose is obvious, I want to raise the price again!

The merchants of Daqing are too cunning, and the milk powder they bought from them is sold as soon as they are sold, but the difference is ten times!

I followed those monks and Taoists to learn the official dialect of Daqing for a winter, and now many Hu people open their mouths to advertise.

What adults drink, strengthen the body, children drink, smart and grown, for children with insufficient breast milk, this is a good thing to save lives!

These Hu businessmen became very shrewd, and even used Master Xuanji as an advertisement, bluntly saying that Master Xuanji made it for his son, you see how thin his son used to be, and now he drinks milk powder and is fat and fat.

The white and chubby Jiang Siyin: ......

Merchants from the Central Plains also went to Master Xuanji's newly built Kichijoji Temple to burn incense and worship the Buddha, anyway, the emperor was far away, and the emperor did not directly dislike the master, they just burned incense.

The milk tea of Kichijoji was also drunk by everyone.

Daqing also has milk tea, which is quite popular, but it doesn't seem to be as delicious as this temple, could it be because the grassland is the production area of milk powder? Milk powder is not so fresh after arriving in the Central Plains?

A Huren kid ran in and said, "Batu, come here, your father is going to start class." ”

Jiang Siyin couldn't help patting his head, he couldn't understand why the children of the grassland were so interested in Sinology now? Obviously, in the past, one or two of them only liked to ride horses and fight, and one by one shouted that they would go to Daqing to fight the autumn breeze and the like when they grew up.

Jiang He's gaze looked down gently.

Twenty bearded children sitting in a humble classroom picked up improvised chalk and wrote on the blackboard.

The children sitting below, each with a plate and a fine sand inside, are holding small sticks to practice Daqing's characters on the sand.

Their father and mother said that the merchants of Daqing are very shrewd, and the price difference between the wool and woolen clothes they sell is too far, and they must learn the language and writing of the Qing Dynasty well, and they can fight with the merchants at a good price next time.

The master also has to do morning classes in the morning, and the lecture time is placed in the afternoon.

The children's study time is very humane, he takes a break after half an hour of study, and occasionally he makes delicious snacks for the children to eat, and there are stories every day.

The children think that this learning is simply heaven, right? It's no wonder that the people of the Qing Dynasty want to study when they are bankrupt.

The story that the master is telling now is about a monk who took a monkey and a pig as apprentices and went to the west to learn scriptures, and all the children were stunned when they heard it.

Is there such a magical story in this world?

They study hard every day, the master said that if anyone learns poorly, they don't tell stories, and now not only the children are supervising each other, but the children's parents are also supervising the children's learning, and they also want to listen to the stories.

Outside the temple, a seven or eight-year-old child listened to the sound of reading coming from the temple, and his parents couldn't pull it away.

The sturdy Hu man couldn't help but sigh, and he bent down to pick up his son.

"Master Xuanji said that he would wait until the autumn to recruit another batch

Student, when the time comes, you work harder, if you can pass the exam, your father will provide you with study. ”

The child's eyes lit up, "Dad, I will definitely study hard, you buy me Qingchao's books first, if I am literate, I have a better chance of winning than others." ”

The story told by Master Xuanji is so good, after hearing the relays of my friends, the more I listen, the more greedy I become.

He must go in and listen to the freshest!

Not only children want to hear stories, but adults also want to hear them.

Even Lao Shan Yu couldn't help but be fascinated and asked Hu Ren, who was proficient in Sinology, to record outside the classroom.

It didn't take long for Master Xuanji to become more famous, and the grassland was full of his fans, and whenever they saw him, they would stuff all kinds of things into his hands and implicitly urge him to change.

No matter which time and space, no matter which dynasty, parents attach great importance to their children's learning.

Hu people who have children going to school are very generous, and the sesame oil money is given as a bundle.

Jiang He felt that if he really became a teacher, he would definitely make a lot of money on the grassland.

When the monks and Taoists sent by the Emperor of the Central Plains saw this, they patted their heads, it turned out that the missionary cause was so unsuccessful, because they did not find the right way.

They can also save the country, and if it is a story, they have a lot of them.

As a result, private schools bloomed everywhere on the grassland.

Now the life of the grassland is better, and the parents of the Hu people are not stingy with that little restraint, they will also calculate, and they will have more dealings with Daqing businessmen in the future, and the more they understand the situation in Daqing, the less they will be fooled.

After listening to today's story update, Shuwu Shan Yu said to his sons: "This Qing Dynasty is not good, the master is so talented, he is actually disliked by the emperor, just like the master story says, the monsters with the background have been rescued, and those without the background have been killed." It's still good for us to be on the grassland, and we all respect those who are talented, and talent is the biggest backstage. ”

The prince snorted uncomfortably, he liked the story of the monk, but he did not like the monk himself.

In the vast grasslands, wheat can be found everywhere now.

Those Hu people were very happy, but the prince was very awkward, farming or something, it was not their style of immortal warriors!

The mother-in-law and princess in his family liked the changes brought by the monk, and learned to cook with the monk one by one.

The prince had to admit that the meal was really delicious, and no matter how much he ate, he didn't have to worry about constipation, hemorrhoids or anything, and it was no longer a nightmare.

But he just felt that the monk had a bad intention, and the pie he brought to the grassland might be poisonous in it.

The princess from a noble background had just confirmed that she was pregnant two days ago, and now she had a very big temper, so she slapped him at the moment: "You ate six of these cakes last night!" If you have the ability, don't eat it, this is also what Master Xuanji taught us to grow! ”

The prince was immediately angry, "Lao Tzu can eat beef and mutton!" ”

Beef and mutton only grow strength after eating, and if you eat too much of this side, you may be as soft as the people of the Qing Dynasty!

The princess snorted coldly, "Poor you can't eat beef and mutton, the master taught us to grow alfalfa grass, now cattle and sheep eat this grass, don't you see that the grassland migration is not so frequent now?" ”

In the past, after horses, cattle and sheep had eaten up a piece of grassland, they had to migrate to another land with abundant water and grass.

Now these fields can be grown with alfalfa, and there is no need to move frequently.

The prince couldn't help but get angry, "You think this is a good thing? The customs of our grassland migration are gone, and now everyone wants to be lazy, just want to farm and don't want to move, and even have fewer horseback riders, how can they hold bows and arrows in the future? ”

The princess didn't want to deal with him.

All she knew was that there would be less migration, less tossing, and that children and old people, and infirm women, would not fall.

But her husband refused to build a house, saying that migration was a tradition, and she was almost angry.

Women don't want to gallop on the grassland like men, they yearn for the days of settling down!
