Chapter 677 The Third Prince of Tota King

The morning light is faint.

The osmanthus trees in the courtyard have begun to bloom, exuding a refreshing fragrance in the early morning.

"When people are born, their natures are good. Their natures are similar, but their habits are far apart. If you don't teach, your nature will change. The most important thing to teach is to be specialized..."

It was still early in the day, Wu Huaiyu finished the eight Vajra Kung Fu, and began to teach a group of children from the Wu family to read. The older ones were more than three years old, the younger ones were one or two years old, Wu Huaiyu's, Wu Huaiyi's, and Samurai Ke's. A large group of children were in the hospital.

Here, I read along with my head shaking.

They regarded it as a game and were very happy to read it. Although they did not understand what it meant, they regarded it as a ballad.

The children's mother was sitting next to the beauty in the corridor on the second floor, half-leaning and looking at the children in the atrium downstairs with a smile on her face.

Mrs. Wu Liu came out with Wu Shiyilang in her arms, looked down, and asked her second daughter-in-law, "Bride, what kind of song is Erlang teaching you?"

"Girl, Er Niang teaches the Three Character Classic,"

Sister-in-law Cheng came over and said, "The Three Character Classic? I haven't read it before."

"This is a set of three-character songs compiled by Erlang these days. It is said to be for children's enlightenment. It is a set of three-character songs compiled by integrating the classics and history. It uses rhyme, three characters per sentence, and four sentences in groups. It can be recited like singing children's songs and is used to educate children.

It’s catchy and entertaining and enlightens the mind.”

Although my sister-in-law Cheng is the daughter of King Cheng Mo, she has also read a lot of books, and she is also Yunwen Yunwu. After listening to it for a while, she felt more and more that the Three Character Classic was not simple.

"Erlang is really talented. This Three-Character Classic is easier to memorize than the Thousand-Character Classic."

The Thousand-Character Classic compiled by Liang Shi of the Southern Dynasty is now a must-read textbook for children in the Tang Dynasty to learn literacy. Even many folk traders may recite a few sentences, the sky and the earth are black and yellow, the universe is ancient, cold comes and summer comes, autumn harvests and winter stores.

"These little guys play like crazy every day. It's good to be like this now. It's rare that Erlang has time."

"Yes, it's strange to say that Erlang used to go out a lot, but now he rarely has free time at home, but these little guys are all very attached to Erlang, and Erlang has become the king of children."

"Erlang can tell stories, almost a short story a day, and they really like to hear it." Sister-in-law Cheng said with a smile that the children in their eldest brother's house also cling to their uncle Huaiyu every day, and her own two children now also follow him every day.

Run with my second uncle,

"Recently, Erlang told them the story about the list of gods. These little guys were even more fascinated. In their dreams last night, they were called Eight-Armed Nezha."

Fan Xuanfu asked his sister-in-law, "Which story is this eight-armed Nezha?"

"It seems to be called the list of gods. You have to ask Sanniang about this. She should know best." Mrs. Cheng said with a smile.

Li Qing was confused, "I haven't heard of the story of Fengshenbang?"

Cheng said, "This list of gods only tells the story of your family."

"ah?"

Now Fan Xuanfu became curious, and other women also looked curious. Lu Sanwu, Yang Muyun, Chen Runniang, etc. all gathered around.

"King Bishamon, do you know that?" Mrs. Cheng said with a smile.

"I know, the great protector of Buddhism, one of the four heavenly kings, also known as the king of hearing, the god of the north."

In the Heavenly King Hall of a large Buddhist temple, there are generally four heavenly kings. Bishamon, the king of Tao Wen, is generally green in body, wearing armor, holding an umbrella of wisdom in his right hand and a sacred rat - the spitting rat - in his left hand.

Duowen is actually the Sanskrit transliteration of Bishamon. It is said that Bishamon, the heavenly king, occupies the northern world of Mount Sumeru and subdues demons and protects all living beings.

All the heavens were overjoyed to give birth to a son, Naja Kulvala. His body was a giant god with thousands of arms wearing tiger skin, holding the sun, moon and many magical weapons, with a dragon as his belt. Normally, he had three heads and nine heads. A handsome young man with a mighty appearance, eyes and eight arms, clothed in lotus leaves.

"It's about Prince Nezha of King Duowen, but what does it have to do with Sanniang's family?"

People in the Tang Dynasty translated the son of King Duowen into some as Naluojiupo, some as Nanatian, some as Nezhajuvara, and of course some as Prince Nezha.

"Because in the story Erlang told, the father of the eight-armed Nezha was named Li Jing. He was originally the commander-in-chief of Chentangguan of the Yin Shang Dynasty, and later the marshal of the Central Army of the Zhou Dynasty. Later, he was listed on the list of gods and became the King of Pagoda in charge of 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals! "

Li Qing was stunned, "It just happens to be the same name."

"Not only that, my boy asked Erlang, and Erlang said that Sanniang's uncle Li Pushe was the reincarnation of the Tota King, who was sent by God to assist the saints of the Tang Dynasty to end the troubled times and establish a prosperous age."

at breakfast,

Yellow noodle steamed buns, corn steamed buns, rolled dough, siu mai, steamed corn, and steamed buns are all very rich.

Wu Huaiyu ordered steamed dumplings, a bowl of noodles, and a bowl of mutton in a basin.

Although the weather has turned cooler, the fresh water basin mutton named June is still good. He got up early to go horse racing and archery, practiced the Eight Parts of Vajra, and taught the children the Three-Character Sutra. He was really hungry now.

One small steamed bun in one bite, with thin skin and tender filling.

The rolled noodles are also very good. This is a specialty of Weinan. They are rolled first and then steamed. After they are cooked, they are cut into strips and then mixed. It is actually cold pottery, but without the tender sophora leaf juice, it lacks a little flavor.

I ate the steamed dumplings like the wind swept fallen leaves, and then finished the somersault, cool, spicy, and sour noodles. I picked up the lamb in the basin, took a bite of the meat, and then drank a mouthful of soup. The stewed meat was so soft in the mouth, chew it carefully. You can also chew the texture of the mutton, and the salty aroma changes on the tip of your tongue, creating the unique freshness of the mutton.

Li Qing broke the lotus leaf bun into fine pieces and put it into his soup bowl, and it became a soaked bun. The bun was soaked in mutton soup and was very sweet.

"Eat it yourself," Huaiyu said with a smile.

Li Qing asked curiously, "Which of my great-uncles is really the reincarnation of King Bishamont? What about the Third Prince Nezha?"

"Ah, you also know the stories I tell the children?"

"Tell me about it too,"

Wu Huaiyu recently stayed in the countryside of Sanyuan every day. A group of children kept pestering him to tell stories every day. It was almost like One Thousand and One Nights. After telling it for a while, Wu Huaiyu didn't have that many short stories to tell, so one day he started talking about the list of gods. , mythological stories are quite popular among people of this era, mainly because the story is long and you don’t have to think about what to tell every day.

Unexpectedly, children really liked this story, especially Nezha, who became their favorite character.

"Li Pushe has only two sons. Could it be that the third prince is Erlang himself?" Duan Wanxiao asked. According to the story told by Huaiyu, Li Jing was originally the commander-in-chief of Chentangguan in the Yin Shang Dynasty, and later became a god.

King Tota, he originally had three sons, Jin Zha, Muzha and Nezha. Nezha was later conferred as a god and became the mighty protector of the army, also known as the marshal of the Fifth Battalion Zhongtan.

Now that Li Jing is the reincarnation of King Tota, is Wu Huaiyu the reincarnation of Nezha? After all, Wu Huaiyu is so good at fighting and so brave and handsome.

"That's a fairy tale to coax the children. It borrowed the name of my teacher. After all, my teacher has unparalleled military skills and is like a god in using troops..."

Wu Huaiyu also didn't expect that these women from the Wu family could be so relatable. He swore that when he told this story, he really didn't expect that they would associate him with the reincarnation of the Third Prince Nezha.

He is Li Jing's student, not Li Jing's son.

But while the women were eating breakfast, they already believed that Wu Huaiyu was the reincarnation of Nezha, and they felt very excited. It seemed that Wu Huaiyu was really the reincarnation of Nezha. He was originally the marshal of the fifth battalion of the Chinese army and the god of the protective army.

The military god is Li Jing.

But there is no reason to talk to women, and there is nothing they can do to get rid of the things they believe in.

After drinking the mutton in the water basin, I felt warm all over, and I even broke out in a thin sweat.

"You guys eat slowly, I'm going to work."

After leaving the Zhongbao, Huaiyu went to find Liu Rengui and the others.

Sanyuan County is still busy with the registration process. Although Li Yuanwai died, no one is bold enough to dare to do it again. However, it is still very cumbersome to register tens of thousands of households and more than 500,000 acres of farmland in one county.

a job,

Especially the Tian Mu Fish Scale Book,

"We should be able to complete the compilation of the fish scale book before the year," Liu Ren said. This strong man looks like a general. Recently, he goes to the countryside every day. He often wears short clothes and even rolls up his trousers and goes barefoot. He is just like an old farmer.

I lost some weight due to busy work.

"After this period of investigation, a lot of hidden farmland has been cleared out. According to preliminary calculations, the hidden farmland in Sanyuan County has reached more than 100,000 acres. It was originally more than 530,000 acres, and now it is calculated to be about 660,000 acres.

"

This number is quite astonishing. It does not include the situation where many upper and middle fields were originally converted into middle and lower fields.

"You have done a good job. I will give you another reward during the Mid-Autumn Festival."

In one fell swoop, more than 100,000 acres of hidden farmland were cleared. The results were truly fruitful.

The fish scale atlas is very detailed, divided into general maps and sub-maps. The sub-maps are organized at the rural grassroots level and the lijia is the unit. One map is drawn for each mile, connecting various locations in the same area within a mile but with different owners.

After the measurement and reporting of each piece of Gui land, it is numbered according to the typing order of the thousand-character script, and a map is drawn. Each map details the name, category, area, etc. of the plot, as well as the place of origin, name, and shape of the land of the manager, using lines.

Outlined, these pictures look like fish scales.

Then divide the map into several miles to form the overall map of the township.

The maps of each township are combined to form a map of a county.

A county's land, mountain villages, water towns, land villages, and fields along rivers with constant water conservancy, as well as the geometry of the roads in them, can all be seen in the diagram.

After the fish scale atlas is completed, not only the fields in the county, but also the mountains, forests, ponds and roads will be clear.

"Well, after the inventory is completed, we will check the public notice, and then we will talk about the exact exchange of deeds. All fields, whether public or private, must be replaced with new red deeds. In the future, white deeds without official red deeds will not be counted and will have no property rights.

For those 'ownerless' fields, the imperial court took them as public property and could grant them to the landless people. Each household would be granted twenty acres first."

"In addition, remember to declare to the people in the county that after the rights are confirmed and the deeds are exchanged, those who sell Yongye land must also apply for a red deed, and the buyer must pay 500% of the land purchase price as deed tax.

Those who sell their Yongye fields will lose the qualification to be granted land again in the future. Those who buy the land are not allowed to exceed the land quota for their status."

Although Wei Zheng's land restriction order had just been submitted, under the equal land system, there was indeed a clear land limit.

"If the land deed tax is levied, the buyer will bear 5%?" Liu Rengui asked.

"That's the old tax assessment,"

During the Jin Dynasty, official deeds were required for the sale of cattle, horses, fields, houses, etc., and four hundred were drawn for every ten thousand yuan. The buyer paid three hundred, the seller paid one hundred, and four hundred were drawn for the value.

The deed tax is slightly higher than the original value, and is borne by the buyer. This not only frees up the transfer of land, but at the same time, it is intended to increase fiscal revenue by collecting the deed tax from the transfer. Of course, it can also be used sideways.

Limit land annexation and increase the cost of annexation.

"Does the deed tax also apply to transactions involving cattle, horses, slaves, and houses and shops?"

"The trade in cattle and horse slaves also requires the establishment of an official deed, but the deed tax can be temporarily exempted. As for houses and shops, the transaction must be established and the deed tax must be paid."

The reason for the different treatment is that cattle and horse slaves are relatively important production tools, and they can be exempted from expropriation at this stage.

After chatting for a while, Liu Rengui mentioned a rumor.

"Ms. Xianggong, I heard a story recently that Li Pushe is the reincarnation of King Bishamon Dawen and descended to earth, and Mr. Wu is the reincarnation of the third prince Nezha?"
