Return to Ming Dynasty as Prince Chapter 127: Outside Gusu City

Since the poet Zhang Jiju of the Tang Dynasty returned home, Yebo Fengqiao was handed down to later generations with the well-known song "Fengqiao Yebo". The ancient temple of Hanshan is famous all over the world. After arriving in Suzhou, how can you not visit Hanshan Temple? ?

Wu Jiyuan, the richest man in Suzhou, asked Celestial Master Zhang to come to the house to pray for the old man. The Zhang brothers and sisters came to Jiangnan for the first time. They had heard about the scenery of Taihu Lake for a long time and wanted to go to the lake for a trip, picking water and rafting, and specially sent someone to Hangzhou to invite Yang Ling. The three guarding eunuchs of Jiangnan are highly ranked. Since Yang Ling lives in Mo House, Wu Jiyuan will of course not leave the guardian of Jiangnan Mo Gonggong for a hundred years, so he invited Mo Gonggong and his wife to go together.

The official ship traveled along the ancient canal and happened to pass Hanshan Temple. The Celestial Master Zhang brothers and sisters and Wu Jiyuan were waiting at Fengqiao. Yang Ling changed into a light shirt today. If it wasn't for the crowd of people with bows and knives beside him, it was his signature. With his appearance, he would be regarded as a handsome gentleman.

Although I heard that the imperial servant was very young, Wu Jiyuan couldn't help showing a hint of surprise when he saw his appearance. The richest man in Suzhou is about fifty years old, and his appearance is gentle and elegant. Although the Wu family has been in business for generations, there are also large tracts of land in Suzhou and Hangzhou. Many of the Wu family's children also have fame and fame, so he can be regarded as a Jiangnan wealthy and noble celebrity.

Today Celestial Master Zhang is the master, and the host and guest of the invitation are adults who are commissioned, but when it comes to familiarity, Mo Qinghe and Wu Jiyuan are familiar with each other. At the moment, Mo Qinghe introduced Yang Ling to Wu Jiyuan, and Wu Jiyuan introduced the Celestial Master Zhang brother and sister to Mo Qinghe, a group of people Talking and laughing into the Hanshan Temple.

Today, Mo Qinghe also changed into casual clothes. He is tall and handsome. This dress really does not look like an eunuch. Standing with the charming and charming Madam Mo, he really looks like a man and a girl. feel.

The abbot of Hanshan Temple heard that today the imperial envoy from Beijing and the guarding **** Mo Gonggong are going to visit the temple, and he did not dare to neglect, he greeted the door early. The old monk was over eighty years old and his hair and beard were all white. , His face was red, and his body was tough.

He put on a big red robe, led the temple elders, acquaintance monks, and a dozen young novices to welcome Yang Ling and others into the temple respectfully. Although the Hanshan Temple is very famous, the temple is actually very small. It didn’t take much time for the last lap. As soon as I entered the temple gate, I saw that the big bronze pot incense was extremely prosperous. The two-fingered incense sticks in the pot, which were respected by the believers, smelled a choking firework from far away. gas.

The temple did not turn away the other pilgrims because of the presence of the imperial envoy, but the fans rushed into the temple first. At the next stop, whoever saw it knew that there was a big man, and there was an old abbot in the temple who would not see guests personally to accompany him to explain, and those believers had already avoided wisely.

Yang Ling is more curious about this Hanshan Temple than first. Although in Suzhou, gardens and Hanshan Temple are the places that must be visited, in the heart of Yang Ling, Yanziwu is the first place to yearn for. Celestial Master Zhang is the supreme Taoist. When I arrived at this sacred place of Buddhism, I also felt that my identity was a bit embarrassing. As for Mo Qinghe and Wu Jiyuan, they were local people who were accustomed to traveling. Although the old abbot was very diligent, everyone's travel was not very strong.

This time everyone walked around and watched the flowers. The originally small temple walked faster. Only half an hour, Yang Ling moved to the temple and bypassed the Buddha statues in the front pavilion. Once he turned around, he saw two The famous monk was putting his hands together and kneeling on the futon to worship. Yang Ling thought at first that it was the monks in the temple doing homework for the Buddha, but he was too busy to stop, but why they were doing the salute behind the Buddha statue made him a little surprised.

The abbot originally thought that the imperial envoy would not go to the backyard so quickly, so he did not ask the backyard monk to avoid it in time. At this time, seeing that it affected the adult’s Yuxing, he hurriedly waved his hand to the two monks in gray. Drive away.

Yang Ling saw that the two monks in monk clothes were a little different from the monks in the monastery, and they both carried the hats behind their shoulders. They seemed to have come from afar, and looked a little strange and familiar, he frowned. I thought, suddenly remembered that the monks I saw in some Japanese comics were dressed in this costume, and couldn't help asking strangely: "Master Abbot, these two high monks are monks in your temple?"

The abbot respectfully said: "My imperial commissioner, these two monks are from Shide Temple in Japan. They came to this temple to worship and ask for Buddhist scriptures and statues."

Wu Jiyuan smiled and said: "My lord, there were two Taoist monks in this temple during the Tang Zhenguan period. They were called Hanshan and Shide. Later, the Shide monk traveled to Japan and built a'Shide Temple' in Japan to preach and teach sutras. It is highly respected by the locals. Therefore, if Japanese monks and believers come to Dongtu, most of them will come to this Hanshan Temple for a visit."

"Oh?"Yang Ling saw the abbot of Hanshan Temple and Wu Jiyuan talk about Japan, their expressions were calm and unrelenting, and they were a little surprised at first, and then thought that Japan had not committed heinous crimes against China at this time, although the Japanese pirates along the coast had done a lot of evil. , But that group of pirates are also criminals in Japan, and there are also many Chinese pirates among them. At this time, the people did not anger the Japanese and couldn't help but smile.

He stepped up to the two Japanese monks who were about to withdraw from the temple. First, he glanced at the place of worship for the two of them. He saw a shallow portrait on the wall, very old, and painted two. With naive and funny portraits of monks, the master abbot greeted him with a smile and said, "My lord, these are the portraits of Hanshan and the two monks who have picked up."

Yang Ling nodded, and saw two lines on the left side of the portrait. These two lines of dialogue are really famous. He had heard of them a long time ago, but he didn't know where they came from. At this time, they saw that they came from Hanshan and Shide. .

He said smoothly: "The world slander me, deceive me, humiliate me, laugh at me, despise me, deceive me, hate me, lie to me, how to deal with it?"

A person next to him immediately answered: "Just bear with him, let him, let him, avoid him, be patient with him, respect him, ignore him, stay for a few more years and watch him."

Yang Ling looked back in surprise and saw that it was one of the two young Japanese monks who were pressing his palms together to answer him. Yang Ling couldn't help but smile and said, "You monk, remember it clearly."

The Japanese monk praised him, and his face couldn't help showing joy, and said: "Thank you for the praise, the poor monk Yuanren is a Japanese monk from the "Shide Temple". The poor monk remembers that the master Hanshan once asked: What can I do? Hidden? Master Shide replied: Maitreya Bodhisattva Zeng Yun: Some people scold the old clumsy, and the old clumsy has to say; some beat the old clumsy and the old clumsy falls asleep. Spit on the face, let it do it on its own, and I save my energy. , He has no worries..."

There are more than three hundred words in that verse. The monk remembered it clearly, and his thoughts were up and down. The master abbot happily put his hands together and said: "Good, good."

Yuanren smiled slightly, and bowed his tithe to the abbot in a reserved manner, obviously also somewhat contented. Wu Jiyuan laughed and said: "Master Shide went to the east to pass the scriptures. As expected, there are many believers, and it is a great merit."

Yang Ling looked at the dictated verses of the eminent monk, the monk with glamorous expression, thinking of later generations that they became robbers throughout the country and went to Middle Earth to burn, kill, and plunder. I couldn't help but smile indifferently: "Master Shide's words do contain mysterious Buddhist principles, and the master's memory is really proficient. Then I will ask you, if you can memorize it by memorizing it... can it be cast?"

Yuanren was stunned for a while, and then he replied solemnly: "I can't do it."

Yang Ling asked again: "Then...how many people in your country where you believe in Buddhism can do it?"

Yuanren was silent for a while, sweat oozing from his forehead, and he was still speechless. Yang Ling smiled openly: "Even if you roll up the Buddhist scriptures upside down, the Buddha is just hanging on your mouth, you I just said...I have real common sense, and Sun and Moon are neighbors. Is this real common sense realized like this?"

Monk Yuanren was silent for a moment, and made a deep bow of ninety degrees. Calmly said: "The adult said something like a scream, the poor monk has been taught, thank you for your advice."

Yang Ling smiled and said: "I don’t dare, I just say it at will,'Enlightenment is true, the sun and the moon are neighbors', ha ha, the sun and the moon, Ming Ye. If your country is really good for people, then Zhiming...Isn't my big Ming Dynasty just your friend and neighbor?"

Monk Yuanren raised his head and glanced at him alertly and said: "My lord said so...but because of your country’s pirates, does this anger our people?"

Yang Ling smiled and said: "Do you dare to deny that among those ‘pirates’, it’s evil that there is no army dispatched by profitable names pretending to be pirates?"

These things are already open secrets. Many people at the big Ming Dynasty know about it, let alone Yuanren from Japan. Yuanren blushed when he heard it, and he didn't dare to refute it. He thought for a while and said: "But... has your country ever expressed goodwill? Our country wants to get along with your country and exchange what is needed, but your country unreasonably requires our country to be a courtier.

If you rely on the courtesy, your country will not hesitate to rewards, and our monks will often travel across the oceans and carry some back with them. After all the troubles, they still can’t meet the requirements of believers, but we are willing to spend a lot of money to buy. However, it is not convenient because our country refuses to do things with courtesy. If it is not so harsh as your country, we...we... "

When he said that, his face flushed. Obviously, he also felt that it would be shameless that people would not want to do business with him and start grabbing them. This reason is too unreasonable.

These reasons are naturally known to Yang Ling. He read history in the past and found that the ancient Chinese were really "stupid". They would rather fame than fortune. If other countries are willing to think that their ministers even send a basket of grass, they would like to give it ten times. Gold to express the generosity of the heavenly kingdom. However, if the other party refuses to consider the minister, even if it is a transaction that benefits him without any harm, he will never trade with the other party as punishment.

He saw that this monk Yuanren was indignant, but he was ashamed. He was obviously ashamed of the behavior of his own country, and he didn't realize he had a good impression of him. He smiled and said: "What you said, Ben The official also knows something. I will tell the emperor about these things and ask the emperor to allow the opening of trade ports and strengthen mutual exchanges. But... those pirates in your country, for whatever reason, as long as they come, we will be ruthless Hit a dozen".

After Yang Ling said, he took a deep look at the thoughtful monk Yuanren, and then walked back slowly with Celestial Master Zhang, Mo Qinghe and others. Yang Ling saw Wu Jiyuan looking thoughtful and couldn’t bear it. He asked, "Mr. Wu still thinking about the words of the Yuanren monk just now?"

Wu Jiyuan was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Ah! Is...not...caomin...".

Yang Ling smiled and said: "Mr. Wu don’t have to panic. You are the richest man in Suzhou. You have land, weaving households and shops in your home. You must know more about these matters. This time the lawsuit came to Jiangnan to check the tax, not just It’s about checking the integrity of the tax collectors. We also need to understand the source of taxes and the methods of increasing taxes. Mr. Sister, just speak bluntly. This lawsuit will never blame it."

Wu Jiyuan looked at Celestial Master Zhang and saw that he nodded his head to encourage him. Then he mustered up the courage and said: "My lord, in the opinion of the grassroots, in fact... if the court is willing to open a port to trade with Japan, it will not only benefit the people, but also the court tax. There must be a lot of gain.

There are still frequent wars in Japan, and many things are lacking, such as raw silk, cotton cloth, brocade silk, mercury and even needles, iron chains, iron pots, porcelain, lacquerware, blankets, medicinal materials, condiments, etc., especially Confucianism Classic books of Buddhism are in high demand. If we sell it to them, we can make ten times the profit. "

Although Yang Ling knows that trade is bound to be profitable, it never expected that these inconspicuous things would make such a profit if they were taken to Japan. If these daily necessities are sold in large quantities to Japan, then Japanese silver will generally flow to Great Ming. ? Yang Ling has not forgotten the Japanese cars and Japanese electrical appliances that flooded the Chinese market in later generations. Dare to love that there were times in history when they were frantically pursuing Chinese goods. How could this opportunity be missed?

Yang Ling was half surprised and half excited: "Is there such a big profit? Mr. Wu, please elaborate."

Wu Jiyuan looked at him with joy, and became more courageous. He thought for a while and said: "The grown-ups should not think that the grassroots are nonsense. The grassroots give an example. Our silkworm farmers, silk farmers, and weavers take a busy year from raising silkworms, silkworms to silkworms, and finally give birth to silk. Jin can only sell five or six cents of silver, deducting capital and taxes, barely able to make ends meet.

But if you ship raw silk to Japan, you can sell it for five or six taels of silver, a full ten times the price difference! We are just a needle here, and you can sell seven-cent swallows wherever they are. This is a huge profit. Of course, they also have good things we need, such as copper, sulfur, hematoxylin, and so on. We buy it and process it, and then sell it back to them, which is another profit. "

Wu Jiyuan is a businessman in the end. He was talking about his timidity, and he burst into joy. How does Yang Ling sound like a replica of the economic conditions of China and Japan at a certain time in later life? After a while, he couldn't help but smile and said: "The Japanese are not stupid. Those big names and generals are so anxious to do business with us, wouldn't it be because the people need to take care of it?"

Wu Jiyuan chuckled and said: "That's natural. Their screens, fans, boxes, and inkstone boxes are exquisitely crafted. The wealthy people here are also willing to pay high prices. If they do business with each other, the court may also get a lot of them from them. Imported knives, Japanese knives quality staff are better than our knives, and at least three times the profit is sold."

Yang Ling listened and nodded silently. When he walked out of the door of Hanshan Temple, he suddenly stopped and said solemnly to Wu Jiyuan: "Mr. Wu has bothered, can you write down these things you know in detail, the more detailed The better, when the official returns to Beijing, he must report these things to the emperor!"

Wu Jiyuan opened his eyes wide and stared at him, and after a long time he said excitedly: "My lord...Is this serious? Are you willing to speak to the emperor about this merchant's profit?"

Yang Ling shook his head and said deeply: "This is not a matter of merchants selling profits, this is a national event!"

Wu Jiyuan listened to a flash in his eyes, and he gave Yang Ling deeply, and solemnly said: "With the words of an adult, Mr. Wu knows everything and can say everything. Cao Min will give details of what he knows as soon as possible. Send it down to adults."

Yang Ling nodded, he had secretly decided in his heart that he wanted to play this matter with Zhengde when he returned to the capital, and told him to start business exchanges. He also knows that those ministers who follow the old fashioned way and blindly believe that the kingdom of heaven can be self-sufficient, and that they will lose the face of the country as an equal status to trade with Panyi, will definitely intervene, but he also knows the importance and evenness of this matter. Things must be done. As long as they are done well and the court and the people taste the sweetness, the opening will become bigger and bigger, and no one can stop it anymore.

Wu Jiyuan straightened up and smiled happily: "When the Caomin spoke, I was tired, and the adults were talking about official business again. Today, the adults are here to relax. I will talk about this later. The Caomin knows that the adults are coming, and the first stop must be this. Hanshan ancient temple, there is a Hanshan vegetarian restaurant nearby, which has a unique flavor. Caomin has already reserved a banquet. Please adults to taste it first, and then we will go to the autumn scenery of Taihu Lake together."

Mo Qinghe stunned: "I am visiting Suzhou in private today, so I did not notify the prefect of Suzhou, but I have known that Li Daxiang will host a banquet for the adults in the Lion House. Look at the adults..."

Yang Ling thought for a while and said: "Forget it, it will take some time to go back and forth to the city. Besides, this brigade is inconvenient to speak up. When we go to Taihu Lake, we have to go back to Hangzhou for one night. Trouble him."

Yang Ling is in a hurry to go back and forth. In fact, I want to go to Haining to meet Min Wenjian when I want to return. However, if he tells Mo Qinghe in advance that he must notify the Haining government, he will arrive by imperial commission and prepare vigorously, which is bound to cause a small Haining chicken. Flying dog jumps.

Yang Ling has had a headache for the fact that the brigade has no freedom after calling forward and afterwards. It doesn't want to go to Haining, where the people will be ready to fight like an enemy, so they didn't tell Mo Qinghe. When Mo Qinghe heard that he was about to return to Hangzhou in a hurry, if he blocked it again, it seemed that he was afraid that he would visit him in Hangzhou, so he stopped talking.

Hanshan Vegetarian Restaurant is bordered by Fengqiao in the west, Hanshan Ancient Temple in the south, and Fengjin River in the north. Drinking on a railing, overlooking the building, you can enjoy the beauty of Gusu. The vegetarian dishes made here, such as Buddha Thousand Hands, Golden Legs of Merit, Luo Han Zhai, Bazhen Hehe, Jade Balls, Fried Crab Noodles, and other vegetarian dishes are exquisite. The color and fragrance are good, and the taste is enough to be fake.

The place is not far away, and the group of people walked away instead of in a sedan chair. Wu Jiyuan led the crowd to the Hanshan Vegetarian Restaurant, and was smiling inwardly. Liao Guan, who was waiting there, snatched it up angrily and said: "Master, something went wrong, the small packaged this restaurant and waited for the imperial adult to come. Unexpectedly, Master Li Guili came back from fishing from the river, and he had to taste the taste here. The little one had explained to him that this place was covered by the master and he would not listen..."

Wu Jiyuan was startled when he heard this. He didn't expect to run into his enemy Li Gui here, but...this manager Liao is too good at doing things, so I just need to say that the banquet is the imperial commissioner and Celestial Master Zhang, then Li How dare you dare to make trouble here?

Wu Jiyuan glared at Guan Shi Liao, just about to give a reprimand, suddenly noticed Guan Shi Liao was talking to him, while constantly looking at Yang Ling, then he suddenly understood what he meant. He laughed secretly in his heart and immediately changed The last one looked embarrassed and said: "This...is the restaurant already under Li Gui? This is a bit embarrassing."

Latest

It turns out that the Wu family lived here for more than 160 years, and became the richest man in Suzhou a year ago. However, this Li Gui is an upstart who has sprung up in recent years, a man who made huge profits by putting money on imprints. upstart.

No one knows the background of this Li Gui. He only knows that when he comes, he seems to have ample capital. Whenever there is natural and man-made disaster, especially after the looting by Japanese pirates, how many farmers can still get it?

Those farmers who had drunk pigeons to quench their thirst were desperate and had to use the land to repay their debts. From the farmers, they broke through and became his tenants. Some became unemployed people and were hired by handicraft workshops such as paper making and silk weaving. Those who are weak and unable to survive become beggars and wander around.

*With this method, in just a few years, Li Gui bought a large amount of land in Suzhou and Hangzhou. Now he is the largest landlord in Suzhou and Hangzhou. There are thousands of servants and servants. The mansion and the fresh-clothed raging horses surpassed the Wu's house.

His position was naturally despised by the local gentry in Suzhou. In addition, the local people also had xenophobic psychology. These gentry reported Li Gui's evil deeds to the government, but they didn’t know what Li Gui came from, so the prefect Yamen accepted it. Zhuangzi turned on deaf ears.

A wealthy family with a huge network like the Wu family reflected the matter to the chief ambassador and the law enforcement officer, but there was no answer. Only then did the big families know that Li Gui’s *mountain must be very good, they If he couldn't bring him down, and because he was afraid of his revenge, he had to tell the people in the mansion to not have anything to do with this wicked person.

Li Gui is domineering in Suzhou, and the Wu family has a lot of work. How can he avoid it completely if he wants to avoid it? Therefore, the servant steward in the family did not suffer from his idleness. Recently, Li Gui started to think of the Wu family industry again. The relationship between the two families is the same. Guanshi Liao deliberately did not say that the imperial adult was coming for dinner. He wanted to borrow Yang Ling. The hand made such a bad breath.

Mo Qinghe listened to this, and his face suddenly twitched, and he stepped forward furiously: "Li Gui? Is that the local squire who got on the table? Huh! He usually domineering depending on how much money he has, this Hui actually set up a score in front of the imperial commissioner."

Yang Ling asked Wu Jiyuan suspiciously: "Who is this Li Gui?"

Although Guan Shi Liao has a low status, he and Yang Ling are on the same boat, and he is more familiar with the relationship between his masters. He hurriedly took a few steps to add oil to tell Li Gui's personality, and he frowned when listening to Yang Ling.

Mo Qinghe laughed and said: "The rich man in Suzhou~IndoMTL.com~ This Li Gui is the most unkind. Although he has never done anything injurious to the nature, but the face of the nouveau riche is boring. Today, he dared to run into an adult, so I just took the opportunity to teach him and tell him to settle down."

Yang Ling thinks he hates Li Gui, but he didn’t do anything blatantly. He didn’t break the law when he put money in stamps. If he ran into him, he would be severely punished. If the prosecutors knew about it, he would definitely join him. , So I didn't want to be troublesome, but after hearing Mo Qinghe's words, Yang Ling knew that he would not be too much, so he smiled.

Seeing his approval, Mo Qinghe turned around and said to the housekeeper: "Old Li, give me a good beating on the invisible thing, and yell, stay a little bit later. You can move him farther away, and it's not bad for you. Appetite."

Housekeeper Li responded with a grin and waved his hand and brought a few people to the door. The door opened. A man in his thirties with a fat face turned his hands on his back and rolled his eyes. He proudly said: "Who Master Wu invited to have a vegetarian meal? I'm really sorry, I have already packed this restaurant today."
