Li Yuhua mainly wanted to promote their Charity Society, and planned to start giving porridge in the city like the monks. So, there had to be an explanation. The three families of the monks, Luoyang Mansion, and Charity Society were giving porridge together. How to cast porridge?
Li Yuhua went to Baima Temple mainly to discuss this matter.
There is also her selfishness. White Horse Temple is also a famous temple in China. Li Yuhua thought of asking her third brother to go to worship the Bodhisattva and ask the Bodhisattva to bless her to have a baby early.
Moreover, since traveling, Li Yuhua likes to be lively and often hears her third brother scolding Zhuo Yushi. After scolding Zhuo Yushi often, Li Yuhua will find out what is wrong with this person. It turns out that she has no grudges with her third brother.
Mainly it was a matter of position. He was the head of Yushitai and the counselor of the prince, and his relationship with his third brother was average.
However, I am an old acquaintance with Sister Yan.
Li Yuhua came from a small business background and was very good at making peace. She felt that there was nothing in the world that could not be discussed. Anyway, they were not enemies of life and death now, so Li Yuhua discussed the matter of going to Baima Temple with her third brother.
Bringing Zhuo Yushi along with you is also a way of saying thank you to the monks. The disaster started last winter. Before the imperial government started to provide relief, the monks started to give out porridge. Now the imperial envoy is here.
We were very happy to arrest corrupt officials and wealthy squire businessmen who caused disaster, but people with some property in Luoyang City were a little frightened. Li Yuhua felt that the Monk Temple was a good place to recite sutras and soothe people's hearts.
Therefore, Li Yuhua organized this trip to White Horse Temple.
Because of the rare sunny day and the warmth of spring, Li Yuhua looked out through the thin translucent window screen while listening to the whispers outside the window. He could vaguely see many people in the market. Some early-morning shops had set up their stalls.
They were busy doing business. Li Yuhua asked, "Aren't we not allowed to do business?"
Mu Anzhi explained, "It means that without the permission of the imperial envoy, the market is not allowed to open for business. Why bother to cut off the livelihood of these small people? Only if they open the market can the city become lively."
Li Yuhua smiled, "That's right. Hey, there is indeed business." However, the business was not much, but there were servants in gray clothes carrying food boxes to buy breakfast, and occasionally well-dressed men sat down to eat.
"It's good to have business now. It depends on God if we want to fully recover. If we can stop the disaster now, we'll be close to the end of summer and early autumn." Mu Anzhi looked out the window at the market with some joy. He saw many people displaced along the way.
The city is deserted. Watching a city slowly regaining its population and seeing men, women, old and young coming out to liven things up, I feel happy and like it. Of course, there is also a slight sense of accomplishment.
Isn’t this what every Fucheng has to be like, let alone a big Fucheng like Luoyang.
Mu Anzhi was feeling happy when he saw a man passing by on horseback. The man was wearing a red official robe. The spring breeze ruffled his robe, and a corner of his crown and robe was flying. He quickly drove the horse forward.
Li Yuhua saw a handsome face in profile. The person he met on the road was Zhuo Yushi. Li Yuhua said in her heart that although Zhuo Yushi didn't deal with my third brother, I can honestly say that his appearance is really not bad.
Zhuo Yushi walked with Qin Ting in front. Qin Ting was very taciturn, but he acted very safely. Mu Anzhi asked the people from Longhuying to guard the city gate, and the Luoyang city gate was guarded as if it were made of cast iron.
To ensure safety, the inner perimeter is controlled by Mu Anzhi's captain of the bodyguard, and the outer perimeter is also guarded by Long Shou Ying.
Zhuo Yushi asked Qin Ting for advice, "I am an outsider in military affairs. I saw that the guards of His Highness the Third Highness behaved well and looked very impressive."
Qin Ting said, "His Royal Highness's personal soldiers should be specially trained."
Zhuo Yushi asked, "How does it compare with the Imperial Guards?"
"Not as good as the Vermillion Bird Guard."
"How is it compared to Longhu Camp?" Zhuo Yushi asked again.
Qin Tingqian said, "How dare you compare with His Highness's personal guards."
Zhuo Yushi smiled, glanced at Qin Ting's face, looked at the rare blue sky and said, "Your father's temperament has changed greatly since he left the Imperial Guard. When he was young, he disliked restraint and freedom.
of a person.”
Qin Ting thought for a moment, and he probably had sporadic memories of his father's kindness. However, those memories were like auspicious rays, fleeting and gone, never to be found again. In his memory, his father was always stern, solemn, and unsmiling.
"When I first came to the Imperial College to study, one time I went out to play with my classmates. I was hit by someone on Zhuque Street. The money bag in my arms was touched by the little thief. I chased me, but I am a weak scholar.
I couldn't catch up, so I had to be prepared to lose money. Your father was patrolling the streets, took an arrow from his quiver, and hit the little thief right in the hair with a wave of his hand. He was paralyzed with fear at that time. I
It’s really eye-opening, it’s the first time I’ve seen such powerful martial arts.” Zhuo Yushi’s eyes seemed to be filled with brilliance when he talked about old things.
Qin Ting bowed, unable to imagine that his father would still have such a time. However, it was already in Luoyang, and Master Zhuo was talking about what he was talking about. Yushi Zhuo seemed to see the doubts in Qin Ting's heart, and said to Qin Ting, "You, a fifth-rank official,
I am a second grader and I am walking with you all the way. I thought you had to come and get close to me first. Unexpectedly, you completely ignored me. What a stupid boy. I am strict. Let me tell you, I am not an outsider. Let me remind you again,
Watch out for General Luoyang."
Pay attention to General Luoyang. What does this mean?
Qin Ting's heart was in turmoil, and the situation was changing. There were 20,000 troops stationed in Luoyang, all under the command of General Luoyang. He now has 700 soldiers in his hands, and his Royal Highness's bodyguards only have about 200 people... If there is something wrong with General Luoyang
, there is a huge disparity in military strength!
Qin Ting's face turned green and he looked at Zhuo Yushi with wide eyes. Zhuo Yushi said, "You are a Shaolin outer disciple and you are easy to talk to. When you get to White Horse Temple, borrow some monks from them."
"Is this an order from His Highness?" Qin Ting asked.
Zhuo Yushi shook his head, "Mine." After all, this is the first time for His Highness to go on a long-distance mission. He is ruthless and not evil. He probably wouldn't prepare for the worst even if he paid attention to General Luoyang. Zhuo Yushi has been in officialdom for many years.
I have seen all kinds of things, and when people are in a hurry, killing the king and killing the father is nothing.
General Luoyang had better not get into trouble, and don't do anything if something happens, otherwise, this could be fatal.
However, Governor Fan would not be so stupid as to recruit General Luoyang. He is greedy for some silver rice, and the biggest crime is beheading. If there is collusion between civil and military officials, it will be a taboo of the imperial court, and the whole family will not be able to protect him.
Zhuo Yushi explained to Qin Ting, "Just in case."
Outside the city, the willow trees are sprouting new buds, and the elm trees have begun to turn green. However, many of the elm trees have had their bark stripped off, and the trees are gradually dying.
After leaving Xiyongmen, we quickly arrived at White Horse Temple.
The prince and his wife came in person, and the two abbots of the White Horse Temple and the Shaolin Temple and several eminent monks came out to greet them in person and performed Buddhist rituals. Mu An said, "No need to be too polite. On the first day I arrived in Luoyang, I saw a monk giving porridge. You guys
There are some good deeds that the princess and I have wanted to come over for a long time. But we were busy in the past few days, so we can’t get there now."
"Your Highness's excessive praise is a matter within the Buddhist family."
The host of the White Horse Temple led the way, and we first went to the main hall to worship the Buddha. Seeing the lotus tube placed on the incense table in the middle, Li Yuhua asked, "Can we also draw lots here?"
"Yes. If your Majesty has a wish, you might as well use divination to tell it."
Li Yuhua looked at Mu Anzhi, who shook his head slightly. He would never roll lots to tell fortunes. These are things that women like! Li Yuhua didn't force it, and he shook three lots in front of the Buddha.
All three are signed.
Zhuo Yushi said, "Your Majesty, you are so lucky."
"I'm not bragging, I've never chosen a lottery before." Li Yuhua looked at the three lottery numbers respectively.
Zhuo Yushi came over and looked at the lot with him. Mu Anzhi was dissatisfied. Is it appropriate for you, a foreign minister, to be so close to my wife? He glared at Zhuo Yushi and went over to look at the lot with sister Yuhua.
The signs are all poetry. The first sign is: The dangerous building is a hundred feet high, and you can pick the stars with your hand. The sign says: Whoever gets this sign will surely gain a prominent position.
Li Yuhua said with satisfaction, "How accurate is this sign?" She is now a princess, so she is not a prominent figure.
The second lot is: The strong wind has shed all the crimson color, and the green leaves are forming shades and the branches are full of branches. The sign says: Those who get this lot will have prosperous descendants.
Li Yuhua suddenly felt happy and quickly handed it to Mu Anzhi to read, "The strange Taoist said that the fortune from White Horse Temple is the most efficacious. My second wish is to ask the heir. Third brother, look at how lucky it is."
Mu Anzhi smiled, "It's really auspicious." It looked interesting, and he took the last lot, which became more and more mysterious. The eight characters in the sign were: If you are successful, you will get many help, but if you are unfaithful, you will get little help. The sign reads: Whoever gets this lot will definitely achieve the great road.
Zhuo Yushi was curious, "What did the empress ask for in the third lottery?"
Li Yuhua happily put the sign in his sleeve, "I'm asking about the future. Let's see if the third brother and I will go smoothly in the future." He thought secretly in his heart, which showed that he was on the right track with the third brother.
Sure enough, the gods gave instructions. Li Yuhua was very happy and told Mei Dianbu, "Take the rewards given to the two temples and give them to the two masters."
Qi Qi said to the host of the Songshan Shaolin Temple, "The Shaolin Temple is far away. This time I came here mainly for disaster relief. I'm afraid I won't have the chance to go. I'll go there when I have a chance. This is a little bit of your Highness's and my thoughts. You can accept it. From now on.
If there is any natural disaster, if you can help like this one, it will not be in vain for us to get to know each other."
The two hosts thanked them for the reward.
Then, continue to visit the ancient temple.
The weather was fine today. When we arrived at an octagonal pavilion, an apricot tree bloomed very lively beside the pavilion. The spring was also very bright under the red wall in the distance. The guys sat in the pavilion and talked. Li Yuhua knew whether the White Horse Temple could still accommodate them.
There are very few homeless refugees. I asked how many homeless people there are in the temple now.
The host of Baima Temple said, "Originally there were about two hundred people. Later, the city recruited workers, and many people went there. Some old, weak or sick people are still staying in the temple for easy care, and there are about fifty people."
Mu Anzhi said, "I don't know if the people here have registered with the government. If they have not, they should go to the government to register and make a record. Later, when the water recedes, the government will arrange for them to return to their hometowns. If the weather is fine, after the first half of the month,
I can go back to my hometown to reorganize my family business."
The abbot of White Horse Temple recited the Buddha's name compassionately, "Your Highness has mercy."
Mu Anzhi is not very interested in worshiping Buddha. He is a practical person. "I don't know where those refugees live. I want to see them."
The abbot of the White Horse Temple did not expect that Mu Anzhi wanted to see the refugees, and was a little embarrassed. "No arrangements were made beforehand. Your Highness, please wait while I order my disciples to invite some donors to come over."
"No need. The rest is about the same. Let's go over and take a look."
White Horse Temple is the largest temple in Luoyang City. Needless to say, its size and temple property are also rich. These refugees live in the living room of the outer courtyard. The houses are neat and clean. In the courtyard, there is a large sycamore tree with a crown of pavilions. Although it is just
The green branches were a bit refreshing. So they set up tables and chairs under the tree, and the host invited a few elderly people with old bones to talk to His Highness the Third.
Mu Anzhi asked them their respective ages and where they were from, and told them about recruiting workers. They were also very happy, "All the boys in the family have gone to work. Your Highness is kind and responsible for not only food but also wages. How about us?"
This old guy can't do anything, he's just a burden to the children."
"Anyway, having an old man in the family is like having a treasure. When the old man is there, the backbone is there." Mu Anzhi comforted her gently, and told these elderly people the good news that they would be sent back to their hometown after the flood. As a result, they were quite happy.
The atmosphere immediately became awkward and deserted, and Mu Anzhi wondered, "Don't you want to go back to your hometown? Your Majesty has exempted Henan from taxes for two years. You can return to your hometown and live a new life."
An old man said, "This is the yamen's care and love for our common people. What's more, we are returning to our hometown. To be honest with you, Your Highness, I feel both happy and sad. Your Highness, if you go back to your hometown, won't you be able to do the work of building the dam?"
Mu An said, "Let's talk slowly, why don't you want to go back to your hometown? Do you want to stay in the city to make money?"
"This natural disaster has forced people to have no way to survive. Last spring, the old man was in the same village, and his family had no worries about food and drink. But last winter there was a snowstorm, and the villagers lived frugally and finally survived. Spring started.
However, the heavy rain continued, and the house was flooded, and food was slowly disappearing. There was a shortage of food. The rich people in the county had food, but food became more and more expensive. No matter how expensive it was, it could not starve a family to death. The coffins of decades
After spending all the money at home, he sold land and houses. There were more than ten people in the old man's family. He lost two grandsons and two granddaughters on the way. Then he arrived in Luoyang City, where he was lucky enough to enter a temple and beg for a meal.
Eat. Now that I have returned to my hometown with nothing, what can I do to rebuild the family business? The old man thought, if there is a job recruitment in the city, it will cost 500 yuan a month. The children at home can go out to earn some living money, and they can build two adobe houses when they return to their hometown.
If I get the permission of the rich man to buy a house and rent some land for farming, I can still have a way of living."
The old man said with a bitter smile, "Actually, even in February when people fled the famine, the rich man's family in the county lost everything."
Li Yuhua couldn't help but said, "If all the rich people in the county flee the famine, wouldn't your entire county be devastated?"
"That's exactly what the noble man said," the old man replied.
If the whole county is affected by famine, things here will be easier to handle. Li Yuhua raised his eyebrows at Mu Anzhi, and Mu Anzhi said to the old man, "I know all your difficulties. Don't worry, if you are allowed to return to your hometown, we will
Everything has been arranged. Now I just settle down to work and earn some living money."
I had a vegetarian meal in the temple. Baima Temple is very good at doing things. It is said that the room where I rested at noon was where Empress Mingsheng and Emperor Renzong lived.
Li Yuhua said to Mu Anzhi, "Third brother, if this land has no owner, why not return it to the people again."
"It's not necessarily that he doesn't have an owner. Just like the old man sold his land to the rich man in the county in exchange for food. If the rich man in the county ran away for his life, he would still exchange money for food. There's no telling who owns the land." Mu An said.
"It's not difficult to check. There should be files on file at the county government office."
"The rich people have fled for their lives. Is the county government still there?"
"The county government of Fu'an County is here."
"The person with this name is neither rich nor insecure." Li Yuhua complained and gave Mu Anzhi advice, "Not only did this take away a lot of family property, but there must be a lot of land in it. It would be better to give some to the people who have no land.
They can return to their hometown with peace of mind. Otherwise, there will be nothing in their hometown, and even if they are sent back, they will still have to come out."
"The things copied belong to the imperial court and cannot be disposed of privately. What's more, if I want to return them to the people, isn't this the arrogance of the Kang court? Zhuo Yushi will object. Even if he has this intention, he must first ask for an order." Mu Anzhi
He is familiar with the law. Even if he is an imperial envoy with the power to make emergency decisions, he cannot directly return the copied fields to the people. He still has some official wisdom, and he will explain it to Li Yuhua in detail.
"I have another idea." Li Yuhua had many ideas, "Fields are also different. Some are vocational fields and academic fields in Cangtian. These three types of fields are all public fields of the imperial court and are different from civilian fields. Those fields
Why not just turn the copied fields into public fields instead of returning them to the people? Instead, turn them into rents and ask them to farm on a per-capita basis, with five or ten acres per person, and rent according to the land tax. You know, if there are wealthy tenant farmers outside,
How expensive is the rent for the family's farmland? They have it in June and Fourth. The owner gets 60%, and the tenants get 40%. In this way, the land still belongs to the court. They rent the seeds, and the rent is actually the land tax. The court gets a lot of tax money.
The people also have to benefit from it. Get the best of both worlds, right?"
Mu Anzhi was really shocked, it was indeed a good way to get the best of both worlds. Seeing Li Yuhua tilting her chin up in triumph, Mu Anzhi poured her a cup of tea and praised, "I wonder how you came up with this method, it's really a good way.
"
"That's right, it doesn't matter who thinks it." Li Yuhua also felt that this was a good idea.
Mu Anzhi asked, "What is the rent of our farm?"
"Our family is four-six, we get four, and the tenants get six. Our family is still in the fields, and none of the tenants would say that our family is generous." Li Yuhua has never been mean in this regard, and she has long given Zhuangzi a lot of respect.
The rules were established and the dealer was reassigned. Although the number now is four, it is still no less than when the number was six.
After returning home, Mu Anzhi discussed the idea of renting land with Yushi Zhuo. Yushi Zhuo was also quite surprised, but still said, "Your Highness, this is a great idea. There are a lot of fields copied at the moment. Let's write it first."
The memorial is also being prepared, and I don’t think His Majesty will object.”
Mu Anzhixiao was frank, "It was the princess's idea, luckily she came up with it."
Censor Zhuo complimented, "His Royal Highness has a good wife in his family, which is also a blessing."
The corner of Mu Anzhi's lips curled up, giving Zhuo Yushi a good look, "Just this time, what I said is pleasing to the ear."
Zhuo Yushixin said, no matter how wise or powerful the princess is, she is just a woman. What use does a woman have such a reputation for being smart? She is just a piece of wood. Husband and wife are one, what is the use of borrowing her?
Alas, I am really worried about this His Highness.
He's a really nice person, and he's not stupid, but he has no political intelligence.
If this person is lucky enough, it won't matter what you want. But when luck comes, there is really no way to stop him.
