The scale of the deliberations of the Nanwu Prefecture Emergency Coordination Committee is even larger than Gu You imagined, not to mention the more than 50 people Liu Xuanji said, almost as many as 100 people, this is the result of Liu Xuanji and Jia Gui sparing no effort to invite monks from all parties to observe.

The auditors included not only the local representatives of Nanwu Prefecture, but also the four elders of the Black Mountain Zhao, the six elders of the Tonghai Gang, the monks of the seven Lingnan Prefectures who stayed in the local area, and even Kuhai and Monk Jin.

The two of them are the second group of personnel sent by the "Demon Party" in the capital, ready to assist the group that arrived in advance and Jianzhen to build the mountain gate, just arrived in Southern Wuzhou, and was about to go to the Changshi Mansion to ask Gu Zuo for a meeting, when Jia Gui met him.

Jia Gui asked casually, these two are friends from Chang'an, which is not easy, so he couldn't help but say something, and pulled them to the meeting hall.

Kukai and Jin Monks first arrived in the treasure land, and they were weak and timid, so they didn't dare to resist, so they were inexplicably pulled into the meeting hall and became "representatives of Chang'an" and sat in the front row.

Monk Jin is okay to say, Kukai is a little frightened and inexplicable, he is a pure Buddhist exercise, as long as he shows the slightest bit of his hands, he will immediately be exposed, how can this be good?

While Jia Gui was busy with work, the two of them moved back row by row to the edge of the last row, which was a little relieved.

Monk Jin whispered: "No matter at any time or under any circumstances, don't make a move, don't make trouble for Gu Changshi." ”

Kukai promised, "Don't worry,...... If you don't go to hell, who goes to hell...... There is still a move to cut meat and feed eagles, so why should I spare my own body?"

Monk Jin said: "That is the great mercy that saves the world, slightly different. ”

Kukai said: "Gu Changshi is for us, it is this world, it is this world, and it is no different. ”

Monk Jin said: "Forget it, this is not a difficult point, and it will not come to that point...... Listening to that Jia Lushi said, it is to listen to someone say something, clap a high-five, as long as you join in the fun, even if it is done, let's just listen quietly. ”

Kukai asked: "Jia Lushi said that you still want to go to the Hundred Flowers Gate Crystal Palace tonight?"

Monk Jin said: "Listen to him, going to the Crystal Palace is a reward, it doesn't seem necessary, ask him after the fact, if you can't go, don't go, it's important to visit Gu Changshi." ”

At this moment, the front row was leading, and there was warm applause in the council hall, and Kuhai and Monk Jin also hurriedly followed suit.

In the applause, a person came up from the podium, who called himself Liu Xuanji, and said: "Respected Elder Tu, respected members, non-voting representatives from all sides, you have all heard the recent rumors about the two taxes in Nanwu Prefecture, and today the Changshi Study will inform you of the situation. According to the agenda, first of all, I would like to invite Gu You, a friend of Jiannan Jiedu Mansion and a member of the army in Zizhou, to speak, and he brought first-hand information from Jiedu Mansion, which has extremely important reference value for all members. Please join the army—"

In a round of applause, Gu You stepped into the hall and began his speech. Gu You's speech is graded and divided into three parts, first of all, from the perspective of the Son of Heaven and the imperial court, which captures the great righteousness; secondly, it talks about repaying the king's kindness, linking the courtier's filial piety with the son's father, and reminding everyone not to forget their roots; finally, and the most weighty, is to show their authority and warn everyone that the consequences of violating the Jiedu Mansion are unbearable.

After Monk Jin listened to half of it, his eyes were attracted by Liu Xuanji, and he said to Kuhai: "This Liu joined the army, and it seems that he has seen ...... in Beijing before."

didn't say a word, and was pulled by Kukai's sleeve: "Listen, Jiedu Mansion wants to use soldiers!"

Monk Jin hurriedly came back to his senses and listened carefully to Gu You's speech, and sure enough, he heard the statement with vague words but clear meaning, Jiedu Mansion did not rule out the possibility of raising troops to fight!

The two of them suddenly looked gloomy, and Monk Jin sighed: "I finally found a place, thinking that it was a stable place, who knew that there would be a disaster of swords and soldiers, could it be that the world is so big, is there really no place for my generation to live?"

Someone next to him suddenly leaned over half of his body and said angrily: "Xian Yu is too much to deceive this puppet!"

A few people in front of him also turned around and said, "What can you do if you are bullied? Can you really beat it? Accept your fate!"

"Let's see what the Changshi Mansion says first......"

"What can the Changshi Mansion do? Gu Changshi wants to resist, but our Southern Wuzhou is full of soft bones, and even Gu Changshi is so angry that he can't sleep......

"If the Jiedu Mansion wants to use soldiers, will the imperial court agree? Can the Jiedu Mansion represent the imperial court?"

In the midst of the miscellaneous discussions, Gu You's words were finished, and Elder Tu knocked on the gavel to calm down the council hall, and then said, "Please join the army and retreat." ”

Gu You's expected battle of words did not appear, and the committee did not give an arrangement for questions and answers, so he could only come out proudly with regret and be escorted back to the guest room.

Next, it was Liu Xuanji's turn to propose, and he walked up to the podium and said: "The requirements of the Jiedu Mansion, I believe that this Gu You has already explained it very clearly when he joins the army." In accordance with Gu You's request to join the army, Changshi Study drafted a proposal, which is now submitted to the committee for consideration and solicitation of opinions. It should be emphasized again that this proposal does not represent anyone's opinion, but only states a factual ...... based on Gu's request to join the army."

At first, everyone kept quiet and listened attentively, but the more they listened, the louder the noise became, especially when they heard "Each monk has served thirty times", which immediately caused an exclamation.

According to this amount, half of the monks will be completely unable to afford this huge expense, thirty percent can barely make it up, but the difficulty is not small, and one and a half can afford it but must be reluctant, only the remaining few can easily take it out.

It was a matter of personal wealth, and everyone began to think seriously about this terrible consequence, and even Kukai and Monk Jin began to calculate.

"At present, there are eighteen of us who are going to come to Nanzhao, this is five hundred and forty guan, Gu Changshi won't really collect money from us, right? This money is a lot of ......."

"He should...... Wouldn't it?"

The head next to him poked over again: "Two fellow Daoists, you eighteen people should bear with it first, and then come to naturalize in exchange for a cultivation certificate in a year and a half, and come here at this moment, won't you suffer a big loss?"

The head in the front row also turned back: "This Taoist friend's suggestion is good, you can even consider retiring the cultivation certificate, or simply leaving Nanwu Prefecture and avoiding other places is the best policy." ”

The head next to him shook from side to side: "That's it, if you withdraw your cultivation certificate and want to make it up again, it's troublesome, it's a problem if people still give it back or not, without a cultivation certificate, how will you gain a foothold in Nanzhao in the future?" It's useless to stay away, Liu Senjun made it clear just now, according to the cultivation certificate, he has to pay it when he comes back, and he can't run. ”

"Damn Jiedu Mansion!

"Can you get that Gu You back, let's make it clear to him face to face, just say that everyone has no money to pay taxes, and there is no money to repay it!"

"It's useful to find it back? Isn't it useful if the Gu Pavilion Master hasn't resisted? Maybe it's that Gu You's idea, you see the way he spoke just now, there is no one in his eyes!"

"This guy actually dares to have the same surname as the owner of the pavilion, and he still faces each other when he gets his name, he really damns it!"

"Damn Gu You!"

"Gu You!"

Liu Xuanji got down from the podium, retreated to the corner to wipe his sweat, and asked Jia Gui, "How is the response?"

Jia Gui smiled: "Won't you listen to it yourself?"

Liu Xuanji listened for a moment. patted his chest: "This time my life is saved." ”
