Chapter 756: The Fall of the Dugu Valve
Everyone also understood what Zongxin meant, if it weren't for Zongxin, Shou'an would not have married Zhang Yongde, and if she dared to leave Taiyuan, she was afraid that her life would not be guaranteed, and the child would not be born smoothly. So there's nothing wrong with Zong admitting this, but I'm afraid that it's a little awkward.
However, Zhang Yongde and Shou An could see that Zong Xin liked this child very much, and as soon as they saw him, they wanted to accept him as an apprentice. This is the happiest thing for Zhang Yongde and Shou'an, there are too many happy events today, and Zhang Yongde and Shou'an are almost unacceptable.
"Zhang Qi, this name is very strange, is there any meaning?" Tianya knew that what his master said and did must have meaning.
"I can't tell you for the time being, let's go to work with Master. Do you remember the distillation process I told you about this way?The next step is to make a still, I estimate that it will fail many times, and it will be very tiring, you are also a big man now, how busy you should be, do you know?" Zong Xin looked proud, touched the little bald head of Tianya and walked forward. They were ready to make the stills right away.
Tianya said depressedly: "Okay, anyway, I'm quite interested in this kind of thing." But I'm still a kid, don't say I'm a boy. ”
"It's not small, a lot of kids like you are married, you know? I think that your master was carried into the temple after being injured at about your age, and stayed in the temple for three years. Do you know how much I have suffered in the past three years? I saw that every benefactor who came to offer incense was very beautiful. Zong Xin also remembered his situation in the temple a few years ago, he had been away from the temple for four or five years, and he didn't know how the master was relieved, and he didn't even know whether he was dead or alive.
Bai Yu said: "Xianggong, I have also been to Lingyun Temple before, why haven't I seen you at that time?"
"Eighteen changes in the male college, maybe you have seen me, but you didn't remember it at the time. After all, at that time, everyone was wearing the same clothes, they were all bald, and they were about the same age, and you may not be able to tell who is who when I stand with a dozen senior brothers. ”
Bai Yu nodded, the monk's biggest feature is his bald head. Many times I look at the bald heads at first sight, and when a dozen bald heads stand together, their faces are negligible.
"Now Lingyun Temple is full of incense, because everyone knows that there is a monk Zongxin in Lingyun Temple, although you have a grudge against Meng Chang of Shu, but the people of Shu are very proud. Because Master Zongxin is a monk who came out of Shu Kingdom, if it weren't for Meng Chang's momentary ghostly mind, maybe he is the one who is fighting for the world now. ”
Of course, Bai Yu was very clear about what Meng Chang had done, and for this matter, Wu Yan Hongyu didn't know how many times he scolded Meng Chang in front of Fei Xuansan. Bai Yu was also next to him sometimes, but what was strange was that Master Fei Xuansan's performance was very strange, a little proud, and a little embarrassed at the same time.
Fei Xuansan had a passionate time with Lei Hong, and Zong Xin was Lei Hong's son, but he didn't know who his mother was. Emei Mountain is so close to Jiazhou...... Bai Yu suddenly had a very strange idea, he had never thought of it before, but he felt a chill down his spine when he thought about it.
Zongxin ...... Have you ever met your mother?"
"Why do you want to greet her through me?"
Bai Yu said coquettishly: "I hate it~ I'm thinking about a question." I think you look a few similarities to my master, and the relationship between my master and Lei Hong is also very complicated, and Mount Emei is so close to Lingyun Temple. If ......"
"Don't think about it, I'm definitely not your master's son. Zong Xin immediately denied Bai Yu's speculation, if he was really Lei Hong's son, maybe there was a little possibility. But Zongxin knew very well that he was not Lei Hong's son, and he just deceived him with a small trick. This kind of thing is superstition at all, and there is really no other way to do it that time, Lei Hong's martial arts are too high, except for recognizing his father, Zong Xin can't think of a chance to live.
Fortunately, his blood and Lei Hong were fused together, otherwise the rest would not have happened, and he was killed by Lei Hong a few years ago.
"Master Zongxin, there is one thing I don't know whether to say or not. ”
"Bad things?"
Zhang Yongde nodded, this matter is really not good, but it doesn't have much to do with the people present, and Zong Xin can't stop it.
Zhang Yongde said: "That's right, this year's drought in the south, the disaster areas are mainly concentrated in the Datang territory. Datang Li Jing immediately began to cast the dam, but the result was a complete failure. These two things have greatly affected the economy of the treasury and the livelihood of Datang, and now Datang's national strength has been seriously affected, and Dugu Valve has also felt a headache because of the reduction in grain production. ”
"Is there only any loss for Dugu Valve?" Zong Xin knew that what Zhang Yongde wanted to say was not about the disaster of Datang, because the disaster of Datang had nothing to do with Zongxin, only Dugu Valve had a close relationship with Zongxin, so this matter must be related to Dugu Valve.
"Indeed, if it is just a drought, Dugu Valve will at most reduce grain production, and it will not have much impact. But...... Dugu valve has always liked to do good deeds, allocate food for disaster relief, as a result, Dugu valve is unguarded, the high grain field in the autumn is on fire, Dugu valve so many years of hard work in the burn, now all the grain fields of Dugu valve have been burned, after the winter of this year, Dugu valve has no grain to sell to anyone. Now even Dugu Valve himself needs to go to other places to buy food. ”
Zong Xin nodded and said: "After planting so much food, it is inevitable that this kind of thing will happen, not to mention that the straw can be used as fertilizer after it is burned, and it will definitely grow thick and strong in the next year after cultivating again, which is not a big deal." ”
"Of course, for Dugu Valve, it is naturally not a big deal not to have food in a season, but the Tang Emperor Li Jing has always believed in the golden and jade good saying that you will take advantage of your illness and ask you to die. He used various means to suppress Dugu Valve, and insisted on taking all the fields of Dugu Valve as his own, and then sent heavy troops to guard them. Today's Dugu Valve, except for a circle of land outside his family's house, the rest of the land is all Li Jing's. And Li Jing named the disciples of Dugu Valve as officials, and let them supervise the cultivation of grain, and now Dugu Valve is very uncomfortable, because a large circle outside is full of Li Jing's soldiers, as long as Li Jing gives an order, these soldiers will attack Dugu Valve, even if the martial arts are not in the world, it is impossible to resist thousands of troops. Although I don't think Li Jing will do this, the current Dugu valve has basically been swallowed up by Li Jing, and Li Jing has also sufficient treasury for this reason. ”
Zong Xin said depressedly: "Why is Li Jing more shameless than me? Forget it if he is shameless, doesn't he want to die? Dugu Feng and Dugu Huang are both top masters, and it is not difficult for these two brothers and sisters to assassinate Li Jing." ”
"That's true, but there's something new going on in Duguvalve. Zhang Yongde said embarrassedly: "Dugufeng is pregnant, in order to protect Dugufeng, so Duguhuang doesn't dare to do anything with Li Jing." Moreover, Li Jing used legitimate means to acquire Dugu Valve's field, so Dugu Huang had nothing to say, it was his own business that had problems. Although Dugu Huang is a master of martial arts, his brain is no better than the cunning Li Jing, and he cheated his money and land out with a little means. ”
Zong Xin took a deep breath and said: "Judging from this situation, Li Jing deliberately made things difficult for Dugu when Aunt Feng was pregnant. Then he used despicable means to take away his land from Dugu Huang, Dugu Huang dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, after all, Aunt Feng was pregnant, and Dugu Huang was also afraid that Li Jing would forcibly send troops. So what's going on now? Are all the people of the Dugu Valve dead?"
"Master Zongxin, how do I feel that you are very happy......"
"Aunt Feng is pregnant, this is a good thing, of course I am happy. Zong Xin smiled: "You go on, how are the people of Dugu Valve." ”
Zhang Yongde said: "There is nothing wrong with people, but most of the disciples have been encircled by Li Jing, and now Duguvalve is very lonely." With a villain like Li Jing suppressed, if Dugu Valve wants to prosper again, he must create another way. ”
Zong Xin smiled: "Hahahaha, a good thing, a good thing." Li Jing has become the largest grain merchant in the world, won't the people of Dugu Valve be idle? It's time for me to visit another father-in-law. After the things here are done, I will immediately go to Datang to comfort them. ”
Zhang Yongde glanced at his wife Shou'an, and he didn't know what to say. I thought that Zong Xin would be very shocked when he heard the news, and then he would be angry. As a result, instead of getting angry, Zongxin smiled happily. The master's actions are unfathomable, and Zhang Yongde really can't understand Zong Xin's thoughts.
Zong Xin said: "Tianya, do you know what I'm thinking?"
Of course, I know that Dugu Valve will give all the industry to Li Jing and bring a little money directly into Da Zhou. Then find a random place and let them grow their own grain and make their own wine. It is estimated that in less than two or three years, the power and financial resources of the Dugu Valve will be far greater than before. ”
"It's still the apprentice who understands me. Zong Xin could see that even Ning An and Bai Yu hadn't figured it out, but Tianya understood his mind as soon as he heard it, and it was indeed his own apprentice. Since Dugu Valve is good at growing grain, let them grow their own grain, and then use this grain to make wine, prepare all the equipment and technology, and let Dugu Valve's people start making wine in Da Zhou.
This kind of wine can definitely sweep the entire Central Plains, and when the time comes, it will even be more profitable than Yandao, even if Zongxin takes the lion's head, the people of Dugu Valve will also make a lot of money, and they can rebuild Dugu Valve after they have money. At that time, the power of the Dugu Valve will be much greater than before.
The fact that Dugu Valve was planting grain outside Jinling City was originally a mistake, and Zu Xun did not allow them to raise the price of grain. Although Dugu Valve also made a lot of money and had a high status in the rivers and lakes, the whole thing was a burden, since Li Jing was willing to carry this burden and let him do it, Dugu Valve could get relief from this matter.
Waiting for all the Dugu Valve to move to Da Zhou, and choosing a place closer to the north to grow grain and make wine, can not only make Zongxin's plan realize as quickly as possible, but also sell Dugu Valve's favor. Of course, Dugu Huang is willing, only he can make this kind of wine in the whole world, and all the wine merchants in the entire Central Plains will go to him to buy wine at that time.
