Vol 2 Chapter 31: Jiangdong

After the sacrifice was completed and the troops were set up, Zhao Guan’s family attended the banquet prepared by Yangzhou civilians, and replaced it with a big red robe as everyone expected, and also wore a scorpion head, just for the convenience of the meal without hard wings. .

   In other words, the official did not continue to be a moth after he finished playing with Mawei, but immediately started the family of Jun and the people.

   However, although the Zhao official family did not engage in moths, they couldn't stand the locals in Yangzhou from engaging in moths. Almost all the food and beverages at the banquet were contracted out. Almost every wine and every dish had someone to take the initiative to explain it.

   Of course, this is no wonder Sun and Wei, because the instigator is not someone else, it is him, Zhao Jiu.

About a year ago, his Zhao official family engaged in similar incidents in Tokyo, but they covered all official expenses and royal names... The so-called so-called prostitution is not only for nothing, but also charges... Of course, the benefits are immediate. Yes, at least Zhao Jiu didn't wear the old clothes of Emperor Taishang during the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, and the courtiers also had their own costumes, and even the fruits of the banquet given to the ministers of the secret pavilion at the end of last year were abundant.

   So what can Sun Jinglue say in response to the call to save money? Besides, in a sense, this can be regarded as a link that the monarch is familiar with local customs and is a part of everyone's favorite.

In fact, at the beginning, these introductions were quite decent... For example, the person who offered the wine about the last wine said how many years he has been enjoying the name of the shop, and who and who will serve the wine. What poems have been written; the melons, fruits, and vegetables that come with the wine should also be about the place of origin and related allusions... And every time, there will be officials, scholars, and monks present to trace the relevant culture origin.

   On the other side, Zhao Guan’s family is not stupid. He has to take a sip and a few words of praise, but it also seems harmonious and natural.

   But suddenly, after a dish that Zhao Guan’s family seemed familiar with came up, the style of painting changed abruptly.

  "Good instructors know that this Jianyan imperial duck is different from other places. First of all, it uses the authentic Huaishang wild duck. Autumn duck fat is a good time for duck hunting...

  "Secondly, there are two secrets when marinating. One is to fry with salt beforehand, so that it can taste and the skin can be harvested; the other is that the duck belly should be stuffed with sweet-scented osmanthus, so that the duck meat will be mellow...

   "Finally, we need to cook it over a slow fire. Only in this way can the duck skin be white and tender and the duck meat will be plump..."

   "Step and live."

   Zhao Jiu finally couldn't help but interrupt the person's speech. "Jinling Osmanthus and Saltwater Duck is well-known in the world. It has been circulated as early as the Northern and Southern Dynasties. It is also common for a saltwater duck to be separated by a river in Jinling, Yangzhou, but why should it be called...Jianyan imperial duck? Allusions? Is the name given by the Queen Mother?"

   "So that the officials will know."

   This is said to be a well-known silk merchant in Huaizuo who joined the Zhaoguan’s Royal Sea Trade Company. He was immediately awe-inspiring, but he fell to the ground directly before the case and took it seriously. "This duck is an unusual sweet-scented osmanthus and saltwater duck. It is named after the official reign and it is not appreciated by the queen mother. It means that in the early years of Jianyan, when the four kings of the four kings, Wanyan Wushu, were invited by the official to block the gold thief, Huaizuo The scholars and people once offered tribute to officials with this object, so they are famous..."

Zhao Jiu was taken aback, and immediately changed his face and smiled: "Yes, I remembered that there was such a thing. It was the Palgong Mountain where Lin Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry took the ducks that day. Hurry up, and although I also like to eat, I ate half of them. I remembered that Huaibei Xia Cai Shoujun had no such food... So, I went to Xia Cai and sent the remaining half to Zhang Boying... It's been seven years, but you don't want this duck to be yours?"

   When the officials talked about the events of the day, the ministers here are officials, scholars, monks and laymen. Which one is not literate? When even thinking of countless allusions, elegant tunes, and poems, I am ready to pick up.

   However, some people are much faster than them!

   "The officials have said this, and the white body is grateful." Amidst the stunned people, the local silk merchant who served the duck directly bowed to the ground, tears bursting. "At that time, Baishen was overjoyed when he heard that the things from his own duck workshop were able to enter the front of the imperial palace. Later, when he heard that the officials were working **** the Huai River, they often sighed for the country... Therefore, when the troubles on the Huai River are solved, Invested to purchase all the duck shops that entered Fenghuai on that day, specializing in Jianyan imperial ducks. Who would have imagined that they would be able to give this thing to the heaven today? White body... White body is enough in this life."

   Everyone was dumbfounded, but they could only carefully glance at the Zhao official's house.

  孰孰孰, Zhao Guanjia saw this person's exaggerated performance, but was not at all angry. Instead, under the careful eyes of everyone, Zhao Guanjia acted for a while, and then settled the case:

"It's rare to have this heart! It's just a pity. Although the difficulties on the Huai River have been solved, the difficulties of the river have not been relieved. Today, when I am a duck, I am still as on the Bagong Mountain. I am grateful for the loyalty of the Huaizuo people and miss the imperialism Camp soldiers can’t enjoy it... What a pity! What a pity!"

   "Official!" The man hurriedly raised his head when he heard the words, but changed his face again. "After the duck is marinated, if it can be dried in the shade, it can be stored for several months even in the winter. Although the white body is only white, it has always had the ambition to serve the country. There is also surplus wealth in the family. Yan Yu Duck... can send three thousand imperial ducks to the imperial army to reward the imperial soldiers!"

Zhao Jiu finally took the case: "Qing has such ambitions, how can he still be white? It is only right when he is given a knighthood and rewarded with the birth of his heirs... At today's banquet, Qing will report the names of his two nephews, if they can be found in the text. Sun Jinglue recommends entering Taixue, if good martial arts can find Liu Tongzhi to enter the Imperial Front!"

   At this point, the official groaned for a while, and then immediately said: "And if the Qing family can still send three thousand royal ducks at this time next year, why don't I promote you a public seat?!"

   This Huaizuo silk tycoon, who is also the business of Yuyingfang, was naturally overjoyed when he heard that, but he kept kowtow to thank you on the spot.

And in front of this palace, under the rustle of the autumn wind, many Huaizuo celebrities are becoming more and more dumbfounded... They never expected that they would have a Mid-Autumn Festival royal banquet. It was the place where the Zhao official family appreciated the customs, and they came in for nothing. This is a shameless person?

   However, what makes them even more unacceptable is that the ridiculous and straightforward behavior of this shameless person has actually been recognized by the official... Is it really to Enyin?

   Don’t you need to talk about traditional feudal morals?

   If it is so direct, what are they doing here with Joe?

However, some people turned their complex gazes at the expressionless Sun Jin and Sun Xiantai... Sun Xiantai was a dignified manager and a top-ranking official. He was also a close minister from the imperial court that day, and he was still the prime minister’s confidant. Knowing the official style, can he not know?

   But since you know, why can’t you dial a sentence in advance?

   Give yourself this first show... the opportunity to make soup, surely you are more elegant and more reliable than this duck seller?

   Of course, regret is regret, but a rare opportunity in eight lifetimes, no one cares about being elegant or inelegant anymore:

That said, their family wanted to support it when the Huai went on to fight against the Jin Dynasty, but the official family won too fast and there was no time. Then they regretted it for seven years. I hope the official family will give him another chance. Thousands of military uniforms;

That said, every time the mansion is reported, our temple has to organize and study, and we have long understood the guidelines of the officials, but because the temple is poor and far away, it has never been effective... nothing else, This year’s autumn harvest has just happened, and there happened to be 500 shi new rice into the warehouse. It is better to send it directly to the official treasury. Next year there will be 500 shi... In addition, you can even contact other temples and temples to prepare for the official entourage on this trip. Army rations stationed in Yangzhou;

Others said that he had no food or clothes at home, but was just walking on the canal and the Yangtze River. He happened to see the official ship of the government was broken, and he was willing to send out three black-painted pot-bellied boats to the government, so that it would be convenient for the south to go north. Transport official food...

Of course, Zhao Jiu was feeling grateful for these representatives of Yangzhou people and people who knew how to be grateful. Those who produced clothes received a higher salary than those who produced ducks. The monks of Daning Temple who provided food directly gave the title to Daning Temple. Won the exclusive outlet of Young Miao Loan in Yangzhou City; the one who sent the three potbelly ships, because he was a local talent in Yangzhou, was directly ordered by the same jinshi background, and was taken to the Imperial Front to become a secretary.

   All in all, with the appearance of Jianyan Yuya, that layer of window paper was opened, and the banquet was instantly active for more than one level, and at the end it was fun with the people.

And in the next few days, the official did the same, only to meet with two Huai Shimin children every day, eat a tribute meat floss today (the meat floss was invented this year), eat a tribute seafood tomorrow, and go to the university the next day. Ning Temple ringed a bell... Of course, I must do something similar to the royal duck by the way... Anyway, I stopped in Yangzhou and didn't move.

It can only be said that Yangzhou is a big city that can be counted as it is today, and the Queen Mother has lived in Yangzhou for another six or seven years. The palace and everything are still there, and there are places for the army to relocate. In addition, Zhao Guan’s sect is placed there, which is Rou Fong. Even after eating it once, I don’t care about it. No matter what, it has nothing to do with luxury... But even so, gradually, some bad news came, saying that this official has been working hard for a long time, and it is rare to come to this class. The place, for a while, there is a sense of reluctance to think about it.

   So, in late August, as the envoy of Hangzhou, Lu Yihao, once again sent an envoy to the official Nandu, but the official still did not intend to cross the river, many people felt anxious after all.

On August 25th, two Jiangyin scholars, Li Tao and Su Bai, crossed the river to Yangzhou, which is separated by the water. Fuque said... There were also suggestions that the Southeast Dazhou would directly take the Youyan from the north, and also to persuade the officials to change the official system... In this regard, the Zhao official family accepted their documents, but did not meet these people, but informed them clearly and waited for them to pass. After Jiang, he joined with Southeast Minister Lu Xianggong to hold a political symposium aimed at the southeast. At that time, all the people in the southeast could speak face to face, but since he was in Yangzhou, he only talked about Fengyue, regardless of political affairs.

   The two scribes had no choice but to return to Jiangyin, which is across the river.

   However, despite this, until the beginning of September, even if the officials and people in the southeast and southeast were obviously restless, they still did not see the southeast of Zhaoguan's Nandu district, which is separated by a river, but the rumors became more and more confused.

   It is said that this day is the Chongyang Festival on the ninth day of September, and all the dignitaries, scholars and people all go out of the city to climb the heights.

In Yuhang County, fifty miles northwest of Hangzhou, there is a mountain called Jingshan, and there is a temple on the mountain, called Jingshan Temple. This temple is one of the five southeast Zen sects, although it is far less prominent than the Daning Temple in Yangzhou at this time. It is also an ancient temple for more than 300 years, a compound of more than a thousand monks and hundreds of monastic houses, and the mountain is located in the southeast of the prosperous place, so it is naturally the first choice for the people of Yuhang to climb high.

   However, all come to ascend, but the treatment is completely different.

The retired elders from nearby came up, it must be hosted personally, and the small courtyard was cleaned up; the wealthy households who have donated a large amount of sesame oil have arrived, and there must also be known guest monks to receive them carefully, so that the visitor is like a spring breeze; as for ordinary good men and women to come Well, if you don’t donate some money, it’s not easy to go in and drink a cup of tea... You must know that the tea at Jingshan Temple is originally a famous tea from the southeast. A piece of tea cake can only be exchanged for heavy gold. .

Of course, there are some exceptions... For example, some scholars and scholars who have a lot of opinions in the southeast, students named Confucianism, although they don’t pay any sesame oil, but if they don’t prepare tea for others, clean the room, they can’t say they can’t go out. It is necessary to arrange your Jingshan Temple to look down on others, and then spread it out, not to mention that the retired officials will not come, I am afraid that even the tea will not sell well.

   However, among them, if Mr. Wu Gu Zhang Jiucheng comes, it is unexpected that he does not need to be careful to wait for him, because whenever this person comes up, he is looking for the original Dahui monk.

   is no exception today.

"It's only mid-autumn in August, and it's the ninth of September. Only this does not move, everyone has heard and witnessed." Seeing Zhang Jiucheng, who was nearly 40 years old, came into the hospital with his hand frowning, and the monk Dahui sitting under the tree in the courtyard In terms of blurting out, it seems inexplicable... No way, he is the forerunner of Huatou Zen in the history of Chinese Zen, relying on this messy mouth.

   "Why don't you move?" Zhang Jiucheng sat down when he heard the words, and raised his head thoughtfully. "The sun won't move? It's appropriate to think of the day as an official."

   "It's not just officials, but after more than twenty days, your brows won't move." Monk Dahui sneered immediately.

   "No way!" Zhang Jiucheng was right. "Officials live in the sky, but they don't act according to schedule. Of course, we ordinary people are worried about the same..."

   Monk Dahui held the rosary and sneered: "Fart!"

Zhang Jiucheng was startled, and then he smiled: "It is indeed fart, in fact, the official move is not unexpected. In these years, he has been doing things like this without following the rules and regulations... It's just that he was far away in the past years, but now it is rare to be close. So I feel confused."

   "Throwing the child down the rope bed, it's a lift at the moment. Don't let the donkey go in front of the horse, and don't let it go." Monk Dahui was nonsense again.

   "I am not chaotic, but unwilling after all." Zhang Jiucheng was right. "The official family is obviously a ZTE, but he still doesn't want to be taught by Taoism..."

   "The officials don't want to be ordained, but how am I not unwilling?" Monk Dahui sneered again.

   "Your family's Buddhism has never achieved true results." Zhang Jiucheng was speechless.

   "Does your family's Taoism once become a serious and prominent school?" Monk Dahui sneered more and more. "If you haven't won, why have you lost? If you haven't lost, why are you unwilling?"

   Zhang Jiucheng was silent for a moment.

   Let’s also say that Zhang Jiucheng is about 40 years old this year. He is the golden age of a scholar in politics, but he has never been an official.

  , of course, it was because of personal academic pursuits and contempt for those people like Cai Jing before, but afterwards it was because the imperial court changed the original school and abandoned Taoism. That's right, this Mr. Wugou, who was born in the southeast, is a disciple of Taoist Master Yang Shi, and an important coordinator of Taoism to the south, and he is regarded as a direct descendant of the orthodox Luoxue in Taoism.

   There is just one thing to say, Zhang Jiucheng is not actually a pure Taoist student, he himself is greatly influenced by Buddhism, and he is very knowledgeable in mathematics.

   But no matter what, this Mr. Wu Gu would not hide his thoughts in front of the monk Zhijiao Dahui. The two of them played these opportunistic fronts, and it was extremely simple to speak for adults... nothing more than Zhang Wugou heard that the official came to the southeast, knowing that the opportunity was rare, and wanted to come forward again to persuade the official to accept Taoism as a celebrity in the southeast.

   However, even Zhang Jiucheng understood that the official would not accept it in all likelihood.

Only his teacher, Yang Shi, has been publicly rejected once, and several of his fellow students have also been publicly rejected. If you don’t take advantage of the opportunity of Zhao Guan’s family to come to reconcile with Southeast, try again with your identity as a local celebrity in Southeast Asia, I’m afraid it will be a Taoist scholar in the future. The chances are even slimmer.

   So, I have to go.

   However, the courage he had finally made up his mind to build up, but because Zhao Guanjia suddenly stopped, he was confused and his momentum gradually weakened.

Turning back, Monk Dahui saw his friend muffled, but he put away a sneer, slapped his knees and hummed: "In the new year, new drums have been applied, and new laws have been applied. Everything is renewed, one by one. Master Samantabhadra was delighted and opened the door during the time. The white elephant king was released, and there was nowhere to find. Only this is not the old new. Waiting leisurely to speak, swallow the Dharmakaya. In the thousand-year peach core, it was the old time benevolence."

   Monk Dahui’s talk is not so subtle. Basically, there is a bit of metaphor in nonsense. Zhang Jiucheng wakes up in an instant, but shook his head again and again: "I am doing this for the Tao, not for fame and fortune, let alone fighting for the party!"

   Monk Dahui shook his head completely: "You are innocent, are you innocent in the same school? You are innocent in the same school, and you are not innocent either!"

   "Why am I not innocent?" Zhang Jiucheng was finally irritated by his old friend.

   "Speaking of which, aren't you still dissatisfied with the heavy taxation of the southern countryside?" Monk Dahui was right.

   "Is this selfishness?" Zhang Jiucheng heard anxiously. "Do people in the south pay heavy taxes?"

   "The northerners are all dead, but they don't have to pay taxes." Monk Dahui folded his hands together. "You have never seen a military disaster in the north, but I am a Jingkang who escaped from the north..."

   Zhang Jiucheng was speechless for a while.

But this time Monk Dahui did not mean to stop there, but continued to pursue: "What you should worry about is whether the taxes of the people in the south have been intercepted by private individuals? Although you have never been to Bianliang, you should be trusted by your colleagues. With the other officials, the officials are suffering, and the five-year mulberry tree, is everyone covering up for the officials?"

   "I can trust the emperor, but I can't trust those soldiers." Zhang Jiucheng did not hesitate. "In the thousand-year peach core, it was the old days and benevolence... Greedy like Zhang Jun, famous in the world! Rude as Han Shizhong...The Western army was square La, and it was better than Fang La in the southeast. Isn't Han Shizhong one of them?! How to turn around and it will be done. Is it a famous general? Jiangnan Minzhimin anointing, if the ruler used it, it would be better than giving it all to those Western army generals!"

   "If this is the case, you should hurry up." Monk Dahui was right.

   "Hurry up is to take risks, what if you lose?" Zhang Jiucheng was not afraid. "Do you really want to fight with me?"

   Monk Dahui kept silent.

   Zhang Jiucheng also felt boring when he saw this, but he didn't know how many disputes had erupted before he stopped, and left in his sleeves.

   As soon as the old friend left, Monk Dahui was helpless, so he got up to see each other. The two did not separate until the intersection in front of the temple, and the monk Dahui saw the old friend walking away dull, but couldn't help but open his mouth to recite a sutra.

   is the so-called:

   "How like one, don't be delusional.

   directly reveals the past and the present, which is also a hobbyist trick. "

Turned around and returned to the courtyard, but I met the host of the temple again. It turned out that the host saw that Monk Dahui came from Tokyo. It is estimated that he would be able to recite sutras in front of officials, so I wanted him to learn from Daning Temple. Normally, when the official family arrives in the southeast, they will also find a royal good destiny.

   Monk Dahui has been in Jingshan Temple for six or seven years. How can he refuse? They responded in one bite.

   However, when the host happily left, he couldn't help but sneered.

   is the so-called:

  "Take down the Dongli and make up the west wall.

   At the foot of the mountain gate, no one is accurate.

   is accurate, who knows?

   The monk's hall looked at the incense accumulation kitchen, and kissed and killed the ridge of the Buddha hall. "

   And waiting until the evening, the great monk recalled his own experience today, and wrote these jingle into the collection, preparing to publish it before passing away, but it was another matter.

However, let’s not mention that a monk did not recite the scriptures all day, and only took chanting to meditate. After a few days, on the other hand, the Zhao official family dragged on in Yangzhou for many days, and when they dragged it to Daning Temple, they began to suspect that the official family wanted them to temple. When he was in charge of feeding these three thousand sergeants, he suddenly moved.

That's right, as the so-called boundless fall, the river in Guazhou, Jingkou, the Yangtze River is rolling eastward, and the autumn breeze has crossed the south bank of the Yangtze River... Zhao Guanjia finally crossed the Yangtze River on September 15th~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Arrived in his loyal Jiangnan land.

   However, this official who never liked to follow the rules still did not go to Hangzhou to meet Lu Yihao and Lu Xianggong, but went west through Jiangning Mansion to Taiping Prefecture (now Dangtu Wuhu area).

   has some unexpected meanings, but it makes sense.

   After all, it is not someone else who knows Taiping Zhou, but the public minister in the early years of Jianyan, Li Gang and Li Boji.

Not only that, when the guard of honor arrived in Taiping Prefecture, it was not just Li Gang who came to greet him, but also Yang Yizhong, who was supposed to be directly under the control of the Imperial Front, Fan Zongyin and Lu Benzhong, the Hanlin bachelors, and Ren Baozhong, the only member of the Gemen. Sheren Yu Yunwen, Zhongshu Sheren Mei Li, secretary Lang Zongying.

   Everyone came here pretending to be gold medals, and then went directly to the worship, and at the same time each presented a thick book.

   "Is the official suspicious of the old minister?"

   Li Gang was shocked and angry when he saw these imperial court ministers who appeared suddenly.

"If I am suspicious of Lord Li, why should someone come to investigate?" After a few years, facing the unabated Li Gang, Zhao Jiu lost the puppet shape of the day, and instead named the book in his hand "Shuiyang Town Autumn Tax Investigate and close the documents full of forms directly, calmly facing each other.

   Li Gang was stunned for a while, then fell silent, and then became sad.
