Chapter 61: The Story of Learning from the Scriptures
Yelu Ao Lu Hu is kind, even if Ye Lu Yu hinted that Yang Zhi would run away if he was not good, Yelu Ao Lu Hu still thought that there was no doubt about employing people, and he should not speculate. As soon as Yelu Ao Lu Hu made such a statement, it was not easy for Ye Lu Yu to say it below, and if a figure like Yelu Ao Lu Hu became an emperor in the future, he would definitely be a generation of male lords, and he would never be a good stubble; if he left the impression that he was playing right and wrong now, it would be worth the loss.
Yelu Yu Jian could only remind: "King Jin, if you go to Zhongjing, Xiao Fengxian will definitely arrange personnel to restrain us, Yang Zhi is one of the variables, if something really goes wrong, the court and the central government will definitely talk about it; when the time comes, not only will the emperor make a fuss about him, but the nobles will also make a fuss about him, and even the nobles' articles will be bigger." In case something happens, you can let Master Tianxin come forward more, he is Yang Zhi's recommender, and Yang Zhi's boss, and his status in the people is transcendent. ”
Master Tianxin watched Yang Zhi and Yelu Deyuan send Fu Zun back, and said with a smile: "Rumors always spread faster than imagined, and the things in the palace are no exception, and I am afraid that everyone will know about them early the next morning." Yang Zhi, tell me what you think about the resentful army and how you will raise grain and grass later. ”
Yang Zhi spread his hands and said: "I don't know what the situation is, and I can't really talk about it on paper." ”
Yelu Deyuan coughed and said: "My father is in the Privy Council in Zhongjing, and most of the more than 5,000 people in the resentment army are Khitans and Han Chinese.
But morale is low, on the one hand, Dading Mansion is really short of supplies now, and on the other hand, they have a history of disease, and they are not at ease. It's just that more than 5,000 people are a big number, and they were dismissed or transferred to Nanjing on the spot, and the emperor's uncle Ye Luchun was a little reluctant, so the resentful army was now in a half-dead state, and the emperor ordered the national division to serve as the commander, which was really a clever move, and if Yang Dutong could mobilize the materials, he would soon have combat effectiveness. ”
After these 5,000 people have gone through the destruction of their families, the defeat of the army, and the distrust, they must have the mentality of getting by and playing with their lives if they can't do it, and the prestige and ability of Master Tianxin can not only appease these soldiers, but also suppress their unruliness. The rest is the question of money and food, Yang Zhi can become the commander of this capital, Fu Zun said very clearly, it is the merchant group in charge of the army; Yang Zhi nodded and asked: "Doesn't the army of the Liao State pay military salaries?"
Yelu Deyuan nodded awkwardly and said, "We are different from the Great Song Dynasty, the prices are very low, although there is a tax on salt and wine, we can't actually collect much money. Merchants gathered in the Wudu and Yanyun areas, mainly bartering, the currency in circulation was Song money, less than one-tenth of the transaction amount, so the soldiers brought their own weapons, armor, food, and military salaries were supplemented by the spoils of war. ”
Yelu Deyuan didn't continue, he has been defeated in successive battles over the years, not only has he not had spoils of war, but every time he finishes a battle, it is a hole that gives the Privy Council and the household a headache. Yang Zhi thought for a while, turned his head and asked Master Tianxin, "How is the money and food in Tianxiong Temple?"
Tianxiong Temple is the royal temple of Liao, Master Tianxin is the host of Tianxiong Temple, heard the words and said with a smile: "It's late, everyone rest, let's talk about it tomorrow." ”
Yang Zhi returned to his room, Li Dayan and Ji Hong had already fallen asleep on the kang, leaving most of the kang for Yang Zhi; Yang Zhi washed, closed the door and fell asleep, and was not sure about the future, but he was too tired in the past few days, and after thinking for a while, Yang Zhi felt tired and soon fell asleep. When he woke up, it was already dark, and after Yang Zhi got up and freshened up, he was called by Master Tianxin and saw Zen Master Omori.
There are countless monks in Tianxiong Temple, and Zen Master Omori is not prominent in Buddhism, but he is an indispensable person in Tianxiong Temple, because Zen Master Omori is responsible for the operation of Tianxiong Temple and manages money. Zen Master Omori is also fifty years old, very well maintained, looks approachable, and smiles before speaking: "Lord Yang became famous in a battle, and was valued by the emperor, and now there are people inside and outside the post house who want to see the style, fortunately, there is an abbot, and the old man can take the first step to visit." ”
How dare Yang Zhi hold it up, Shi Li said: "Now I am relying on Master Tianxin to eat, and the master said this, which really makes the younger generation embarrassed." ”
Master Tianxin motioned for Buddha Nanda to guard outside the door and asked, "Yang Zhi, soldier, national affairs, while you and I haven't traveled yet, tell me your plans?"
Yang Zhi said seriously: "Last night, I was only one percent sure, but now I see the two seniors, and the juniors are fifty percent sure." ”
Zen Master Omori said indifferently: "During the Warring States Period, Lu Buwei's father and son discussed, cultivating the land can make a profit of ten times, that is the accumulation of decades, two years of ten times the profit of the business, one percent is not small, but I don't know where the increase of forty percent comes from?"
Yang Zhi didn't answer, and asked after a moment of silence: "I heard that there are more than 600 temples in Liao, but there are temples that are willing to go to the next level?"
"Go to the next level?" Zen Master Omori was a little puzzled, Yang Zhi nodded and said: "If you want to be poor, go to the next level, it means to be positive and far-sighted." If you want to see the endless beauty, you should climb to the next level, if you want to be more successful, you must put in more effort, and if you want to break through a problem, you have to look at it from a higher perspective. ”
Zen Master Omori nodded again and again: "What the donor said is reasonable, but there must be something real to attract people." ”
Yang Zhi said with a smile: "I have a story about Tang Xuanzang going to the West to learn scriptures. ”
Master Tianxin and Zen Master Dasen are both high monks, so they naturally know who Tang Xuanzang is, and they also know that there is a book "Tang Dynasty Western Regions Records", which records the rumors, mountains, rivers, places, products, and customs of 110 countries that Tang Xuanzang personally experienced during his journey to the west. Master Tianxin stopped Zen Master Omori's excitement and asked with a smile, "Can you dictate a paragraph?" ”
Yang Zhi casually said a paragraph of the robe conference in "Journey to the West", Master Tianxin was silent for a long time, asked clearly that there were fifty to seventy paragraphs, and said: "Yang Zhi, I can't see through you, but from this story, it is very beneficial to preach in Liaodong and Liaoxi, the image is vivid, concise and concise, and a Buddha word is in the heart, which is most suitable for spreading among the Khitan and other ethnic groups." I want your entire seventy-paragraph story, you don't need to find other temples, Tianxiong Temple can send you 3,000 cattle and sheep. ”
Zen Master Omori nodded secretly, Master Tianxin's move is very correct, he wants this attractive story, and the cattle and sheep are also for the resentful army, even if others know, it doesn't matter. Yang Zhi smiled, there are thousands of such stories, if each book can be exchanged for so many cattle and sheep, then it will be developed, Yang Zhi reminded: "Master, you are the commander of the resentful army, these cattle and sheep are best delivered in Dading Mansion after we master the resentful army." ”
On the side, Zen Master Omori said with understanding: "Lord Yang, rest assured, Tianxiong Temple has a pasture in Dading Mansion, and as long as the host commands, it can be delivered at any time." ”
