Li Er saw hawkers, beggars, scholars, and Gui on the street. He even followed a monk carrying an alms bowl to watch him go door to door for alms.
The monk is very old. He has his own certificate hanging on his chest to prove that he is a real monk. He wants to build a small temple. The people of Yuezhou seem to respect this old monk very much. There will be a master in every house.
Put two copper coins in the alms bowl, and some women would give him some rice balls or dry food. The old monk would sincerely thank him for the alms. When he walked to the end of the street, his alms bowl was already full of copper coins.
Then he went to beg for alms, and handed a bowl of copper coins to the shopkeeper of a wood shop, and asked for a bowl of water. Then he sat under the eaves and ate the dry food given by the benefactor, his long eyebrows dancing in the wind, his expression satisfied and tranquil.
"Master must be an eminent monk, why do you do such a despicable thing?" Li Er walked up and asked the old monk.
"Contemptible? Why doesn't the old monk know this? There are 125 households in this street. Each family gave two copper coins to the old monk and made a good fortune. Everyone wished the old monk to build a temple as soon as possible.
The old monk gathered these good karma and turned them into a palace that can calm the mind and guard the heart. How can it be said to be contemptuous?"
Li Er did not argue. He took out two coins from his sleeve and put them in the old monk's alms bowl. The old monk smiled and returned the money to Li Er and said: "Yuezhou is rich. There is no shortage of money here. The old monk collected it."
It is not money but great wishes, gods, and Buddha. The reason why Buddha is effective is that it relies on the power of good believers to bring blessings to all directions. The donor has no love for Buddhism and has no ghosts and gods in his heart. These two pieces of money are just money and have no good thoughts accompanying them.
The money is harmful to the temple, the donor please take it back."
Perhaps the old monk felt tired, so he sat down again and took out a rice ball to continue eating his lunch.
"If I give you money, you must take it. Giving you money is my greatest kindness. Whether you are willing or not, you must buy these two pieces of money to become the pillars of the temple. My words cannot be violated."
The old monk raised his head and looked at Li Er, then looked at Duan Hong and the shadowy guard in the distance. He sighed and took the money from Li Er, clasping his hands together and saying, "Buddha Amitayus, all your sins are yours to bear on me." After that, he took the money from Li Er.
He picked up his bag and alms bowl and left the street.
"Order, order is very important. No matter what method you use to promote your ideas, you must abide by order. You cannot do whatever you want in the name of benevolence. Order is something I need to formulate. I am the only one who can collect money from the people!
"
Hearing Li Er's words, Duan Hong was very strange. He didn't understand why Your Majesty would bully a kind-hearted old monk. This old monk must be very extraordinary. He was full of violence, but he felt very comfortable around the old monk, just like
Bathed in the spring breeze, Duan Hong did not understand Buddhism, but he knew that true compassion could not give him such a feeling.
Li Er chuckled, like a child who had successfully pranked him. He took out another gold coin and ate a bowl of tofu puffs at the stall. He didn't care whether the vendor could find him or not. He told the vendor that he wanted to eat before he finished.
If you don't find the change, don't blame him for freeloading.
The disdainful looks from the vendors and other diners made Duan Hong just want to crawl into the cracks in the ground, but Li Er didn't care and ate the tofu puffs with big mouthfuls, praising the delicious taste.
When Li Er finished eating the tofu, he asked for his own change. He saw the hawker taking out a basket from under the table. The basket was full of copper coins of different denominations. The hawker was looking for the copper coins with the smallest denomination. There was really no smallest coin.
Then I took the ones with slightly larger denominations, and soon I counted a lot of them.
Li Er was so polished that he didn't dare to mess with him, but he was rude to the hawker Duan Hong. He asked Duan Hong to lift the hem of his robe, and poured the copper coins onto Duan Hong's pocketed robe with a splash. He also said: "Yue
There are many aristocratic people in the city, and there are not a few people who are honored to eat a bowl of tender tofu at a small stall. It is common to eat a bowl of soft tofu without copper. Just treat me, Zeng Daniu, as entertaining distinguished guests from afar. A gold coin is nothing.
Big money, this is your change. Take it, and if you find one or two missing, ask Zeng Daniu for it, and I will replenish it for you."
Duan Hong's nose was almost crooked with anger. Although he was a eunuch, it was the first time that someone pointed his nose at him and scolded him like this. Looking back at Li Er, as long as His Majesty's face looked slightly wrong, he was ready to stuff all these copper coins into his mouth.
This Zeng Daniu went into his belly and let him know that he should not be underestimated.
Li Er was not angry, but became more and more happy. He waved to Duan Hong, and the master and servant walked away amidst roars of laughter. Duan Hong wished he could throw away all the copper coins, it was so embarrassing.
Li Er seemed to be interested in shopping at this time. He bought a lot of things along the way. The three guards were covered with things. Duan Hong still had half of the copper coins in his robe. Finally, he saw someone selling pockets. Duan Hong
Hong put all the coins in his pocket and put them on his shoulders.
Buying paper kites, clay figurines, doll whistles, windmills, and even two bamboo horses doesn't matter, but what are you doing in a shop where women come and go? The door of the shop clearly says "This shop only entertains women."
"Li Er didn't seem to see it. He walked in. The female waiter was cornered by two burly men just as he was about to stop her.
Li Er walked into the store and found that the shelves were full of items such as bellybands, as well as other strange items, which were personal belongings of women. He touched his nose and was about to go out, but was stopped by some women who were screaming in surprise.
People were squeezed out of the store, and when the female shopkeeper was holding a broom and preparing to drive people away, Li Er and Duan Hong had already disappeared into the alley.
There was a house deep in the shade, and the huge word "Yunfu" on the lintel made Li Er feel happy again. Seeing that the door was closed tightly, and there were no servants on duty in front of it, he stretched out his fingers towards Duan Hong.
The furious Duan Hong was willing to let go of this good opportunity to be discouraged and kicked the door open. The door latch, as thick as his arm, broke into two pieces. Dongyu, Renxiong, and housekeeper Lao Zhao were drinking and chatting in the concierge.
When he saw someone knocking on the door, he was immediately furious. As soon as he went out, he saw Li Er and quickly lay down on the ground without daring to move.
"Yun Ye is there, take me there. If you dare to tell me, I will break his dog legs!" Li Er walked straight in, and the housekeeper Lao Zhao hurriedly led the way. The Marquis and the King of Wei were drinking in the back garden.
"You used to say that building a huge ball and constantly pushing hot air into it can make people fly. This is the same as the Kongming Lantern. Let's start doing it after we return to Beijing. It's very difficult to fly by our own strength.
It’s difficult, so it’s good to make something that can fly for fun first.” Li Tai said to Yun Ye while lying on the recliner with his pants on.
"That's natural. I'll go back to Beijing and finish Xiaoya's wedding. I guess I'll have nothing to do. We can just live a few days of leisure. Your Majesty is busy studying at the moment. He probably won't have time to find trouble with me. He can have a few days of leisure."
What's the next few days? I've long been salivating over the royal hunting ground in Nanshan. When will I go hunting?"
"It's still early. The prey in the hunting ground now all have their cubs. It's not the time for hunting. If you want to wait until late autumn, that's a good time for hunting. Autumn hunting takes a whole month. You can play it.
You tell me first that you gave me such good books. Are you planning to trap me in the study so that you can live a leisurely life? To be honest, am I very annoying? "Li Er sat down with two books in a very shameless manner.
On the small table between the lounge chairs, Yun Ye and Li Tai looked down at them.
"Don't get up, just answer like this, don't use your mind. The moment you answer with your mind, the answer will change. Hurry up, yes or no? You just hate me gesticulating on it, don't you?"
"No, I have no such plan. Your Majesty is a genius in the world. He will finish reading a few books very quickly. Wei Chen and others have been studying for a long time, but they have not found a path that is suitable for the Tang Dynasty to take in the future, so they can only place their hopes.
Your Majesty, I hope that your Majesty can recruit the leaders of hundreds of families to finally find this road."
Li Er's eyes were staring at Yun Ye like an eagle, which made Yun Ye very uncomfortable. He shrank his body downwards and stammered out the reasons he had made up long ago.
"Fart, I have been despised by people today. I was despised for giving gold coins to monks, and was despised for giving gold coins to hawkers. When I entered a shop, I was kicked out by the female shopkeeper with a broom. Are you going to despise me too now?
?What Monk Fangwaizhiren said makes sense, I can’t argue with you. The vendors despise me because I found it myself, so it doesn’t count. The female shopkeeper’s place is not suitable for men to come in and out. It’s reasonable for me to be kicked out with a broom. If you say
If you don’t come up with a reason, you can see how I deal with you. If you don’t answer well, you are the prey of my autumn hunt!”
Yun Ye secretly complained, Li Er was naturally narrow-minded, and he didn't know why he went crazy today. He probably just wanted to see all kinds of things in the market. After seeing the vendors, monks, and women, now it's time to see a distinguished person like him. I don't know.
What does he see from others, and what does he want to see from himself? Forget it, don’t think about it anymore, let’s talk about knowledge with him.
"Mr. Yan Zhitui preached the theory of the three qualities of nature. He divided human nature into three categories, namely, the wise, the foolish, and the mediocre. He said that the wise can be achieved without teaching, the foolish can be taught to no avail, and the mediocre.
, you don’t know if you don’t teach.”
He also said that Your Majesty is a wise man and a gifted talent. He knows himself without learning and knows without teaching. Wei Chen disagrees with this view. Knowledge comes from accumulation and precipitation.
In his early years, His Majesty traveled north and south to see the world, so his work was often able to meet the needs of the people, and the laws he formulated would naturally be accurate. However, in the following ten years, His Majesty stayed in Chang'an, and a palace wall separated His Majesty from the people.
Come on, what you know about the common people is only based on memorials or information.
Memorials and information are not enough to tell Your Majesty how the world today is changing three times a day. If you formulate laws for the current people based on the actual conditions of the people in the past, it is inevitable that there will be omissions.
However, Your Majesty is the king of a country and cannot wander around the market all day long, so the ministers and others compiled their experiences into a book and presented it to Your Majesty, hoping that Your Majesty would see a real Tang Dynasty.
