Tang's dining table

Xue Cheng, the county lieutenant of Huxian County, sat on the stone steps and said, "I'm here to ask you to solve the case, not to use severe torture on me."

Di Renjie also sat on the stone steps and said, "Now that I'm here, leave the things you can't handle to me."

Xue Cheng smiled, looked at Di Renjie and said, "Are you supposed to be the most disliked Dali Temple Prime Minister in the entire Dali Temple?"

Di Renjie nodded and said, "That's almost it."'

Xue Cheng said: "I'm relieved now. When Dali Temple is in trouble, it should give up on you immediately."

Di Renjie smiled and said, "Come on, tell me. Whether I can catch it or not is my business and has nothing to do with you. It seems that your desire to get rid of this matter has been deeply ingrained."

Xuecheng pointed to the valley deep in Fengyukou and said, "If you enter the depths of Zhongnan Mountain, you will understand everything.

Master Daoxuan and the others did not disappear, they just stayed in the mountains, fighting with a group of Taoist priests.

The villagers were not missing either. They were detained by the Taoist and Buddhist monks to work for them. "

Di Renjie smiled and said, "I guess that's the case too. I just don't know what they are arguing about?"

Xue Cheng smiled and said: "On the surface, it is because Zhongnan Mountain has outstanding people and is the ancestor of the fairy mountain. Both the Buddhist and Taoist families want to build jungles and Taoist temples in the beautiful forest valleys.

Jungle temples have been built here. The Taoist temple is not only convenient for Qing Dynasty, but also can use the Qinling Qi to gain enlightenment and become an immortal, or achieve nirvana and become a Buddha.

When Jingye Temple and Lou Guantai first fought over each other, a certain family thought they were competing for a beautiful place.

Until...hahaha".

As he spoke, Xue Cheng took out a strange-shaped stone from his arms and put it in Di Renjie's hand, and then laughed.

Di Renjie saw this yellow-shining stone, weighed it in his hand and said, "Gold mine?"

"Master Daoxuan of Jingye Temple is preparing to establish his own line of Buddhism, called the Luzong. Jingye Temple is the ancestral home of the Luzong. However, Master Daoxuan, the first jungle of the Luzong, wants to build it on a mineral vein, called the Luzong. ——Don’t let your children and grandchildren have to worry about money and food.

The master of Louguantai Temple, Cheng Pi, is said to be a descendant of Yin Xi, the founder of Taoism. The Louguantai Temple is the place where Laozi, the ancestor of the Tang Dynasty royal family, taught the Tao Te Ching, and he refused to give in to this place.

However, the most ridiculous thing is that a Nestorian temple was built on this land in the early years of Yonghui.

So, now, not only the Taoist priests from Louguantai live in the newly built Nestorian temple, but Master Daoxuan of Pure Land Temple also lives in the Nestorian temple with all the monks in the temple.

However, the original owners, the Nestorian monks, were expelled from the Nestorian temple by these two parties. The Nestorian monks were all extremely sad and angry.

In my opinion, within ten days, a bloody battle will definitely break out in the Nestorian Temple. I don’t know if it will be a bloody battle between two parties or three parties.

This is why I invited people from Dali Temple to come here to resolve the case.

Well, since your Dali Temple has taken over this matter, it is your business and has nothing to do with Hu County, hahaha. "

After Xuecheng finished explaining the cause and effect, he took the policemen with him, and the government officials patted the dirt on their butts and turned around and left.

Everyone in Dali Temple was stunned by what Xue Cheng said. It was only now that they realized that they had picked up something hot.

Di Renjie turned back and looked in the direction of Chang'an. Compared with Chang'an, the trouble here was nothing.

The emperor is waiting for the return of his Eastern Expedition army and is preparing to do big things. The old Guanlong military nobles are also waiting for the return of his Eastern Expedition army and are preparing to discuss the division of labor with the emperor.

At this juncture, it can be said that I am very happy to be able to escape from the pit of right and wrong in Chang'an.

As for the monks and Taoist priests in front of them, fighting with the foreign Nestorian monks over a gold mine is really not a big deal at the moment.

However, the most important thing at the moment is to rescue the seventeen lost people from the hands of the monks and Taoists.

Di Renjie and his people walked for more than a day before arriving at Daqin Temple.

After arriving at Daqin Temple, Di Renjie understood why the county magistrate of Huxian County was unwilling to save the seventeen people.

While the three factions are fighting with outsiders, the seventeen villagers are making money. Yes, under the watchful eyes of the three factions, the seventeen villagers are standing in the cold stream panning for gold.

As a result, the people in Dali Temple led by Di Renjie became the fourth party to watch the gold mine. After setting up camp, they joined the monks and Taoists to see how much gold sand the seventeen villagers could wash out in a day.

Di Renjie finally figured out that the reason why these people put up such a big fight before they started fighting was to see if this gold mine was worth a big fight.

Very good. If the amount of gold produced is average, then it is not worth Lou Guantai and Jingye Temple to participate in the competition. After all, these two parties still need to have some face. It will make people laugh if they go to war for a small amount of money. .

If the gold production is still considerable, these three companies should be able to discuss it, and it is very likely that the last three companies will divide the gold mine's output.

Of course, if the output of this gold mine is astonishing, then it is impossible for the priests to decide the winner without killing or injuring dozens or hundreds of monks and Taoists.

Di Renjie stayed here because he just wanted to protect the seventeen people who were panning for gold in the cold stream, and to avoid the violent storm coming from Chang'an.

As for the life and death of monks, Taoist priests, and priests, Di Renjie does not care, because none of these people are in Taoist registration, have ultimatums, or have missionary documents, and none of them are registered in Datang Prefecture and County.

Since they are not registered in the household, the dispute between them has nothing to do with Dali Temple. Even if Master Daoxuan is a generation of eminent monks, his life and death has nothing to do with the government, especially if he died in this kind of dispute over faith, whether it was Daoxuan or Chengpi. Man's natural mission.

There are also three Nestorian temples in Chang'an City. Naha is very familiar with the imams of these three Nestorian temples and has a very good relationship with them.

The main reason is that the Nestorian temple has a deep connection with the land of the Western Regions, and Naha’s charity, rescue, lending, and loan collection work all need to cooperate with the Nestorian temple.

During this period of time, although Naha was hiding in Qiyun Temple, it did not affect Naha's ability to make money.

The old monkey has used violence to completely open up the temples in the Hexi Corridor and even the Western Regions, and has built many Xiangji Kitchens in the temples along the way.

The initial funds for Xiangji Kitchen were all advanced by Naha. Therefore, Hexi Xiangji Kitchen quickly entered a profit mode due to the prosperous trade activities along the Silk Road.

In the Tang Dynasty, the money earned by Hu merchants in Chang'an would be turned into goods and sent to the distant Western Regions and even the land in the river.

The goods in the river, even in the big and small Bolu, even in the Dashi Kingdom, and the barbarian countries outside of Talos, were also transported by camels, and entered the Tang Dynasty and Chang'an in a steady stream.

Datang collected the tax, and Naha actually worked in the middle and lent some positions to make up for Hu Shang's lack of money.

Everyone thought that what Naha earned was just a small profit. Only Li Zhi, who had been able to see the amount of profits sent by Xuanzang and the others, knew how big the benefits were.

This money was the initial capital that Xuanzang and others planned to use to build the Buddhist Kingdom in the Western Regions. The construction of the Buddhist Kingdom in the Western Regions would be of great benefit to the Tang Dynasty's long-term occupation of the Western Regions. This was why Li Zhi was so short of money and food during the Eastern Expedition. In this state, there is no reason why this money has not been used.

He likes to fight with his uncle in the court, and likes to see the faces of those people who try to make things worse when he is embarrassed.

This kind of training sharpened Li Zhi's eyesight, and also made the faces that were originally unable to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy vivid and clear.

This made him seem to be back to the time when he was not the prince. At that time, no one thought highly of him. Everyone was fawning over the prince Cheng Qian and busy getting closer to Wei Wangtai. Only he, the king of Jin, was ignored.

At that time, he could see everyone's face clearly, and then all his actions had a very clear purpose.

Now, that feeling appeared again, which made Li Zhi feel that it was time for him to do something big again.

"Your Majesty, do you know about the fight between Daoxuan and Chengpi in Zhongnan Mountain?"

Li Zhi looked up at Wu Mei, who had just given birth, and said, "You have just given birth, so don't worry about these little things."

Wu Mei sighed and said: "Now, everyone thinks that Your Majesty is too busy dealing with your uncle and has no energy to pay attention to other small things. All kinds of monsters and monsters have jumped out. If I can't help you, who can help you?"

Li Zhi leaned over and looked at the baby boy who was less than ten days old in the cradle. He stretched out a finger to caress the child's face and said, "Since this child was born during the Xianqing period, let's name him Xian!"

Wu Mei leaned on the bed and lowered her head and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for giving this child a name."

Li Zhi looked down at the child for a while and suddenly frowned and said, "I remember when Hong'er was born, his eyes were big and lively. Why is this child always unable to wake up after he is born?"

Wu Mei, who has nominally given birth to four children, Li Hong, Li Si, Li Xian, and Li Xian, laughed when she heard this and said, "Hong'er is the most abnormal one, and my Xian'er is the most normal child."

Li Zhi thought for a moment and said, "That's true, but what has Hong'er been doing lately? Every time he comes to my place to say hello in a hurry, he disappears."

Wu Mei smiled and said: "Your prince is busy managing his onions for the winter. These days, the doctors from Sinong Temple are in the East Palace, helping the prince clean up the cabbages and cabbages he planted.

I heard that the cabbage harvested this time weighed five or six kilograms. I really don’t know how this kid managed to grow such a small cabbage to such a big size. "

Li Zhi fully supported his son's work on farmland and crops. A prince who liked to deal with agricultural doctors was better than a prince who liked to deal with generals.

So, Li Zhi said coldly: "It is right for a conservative king to care more about farmers and mulberry trees."
