More than 10 hectares of official land outside the West Gate were bought as righteous fields, and the grain produced was used as financial support for the children of the poor families when they were studying.

The people are the kindest in the world, and the people of Fuluo, who have more than 100 yuan in their hands than in previous years, have donated generously, and you have helped Yitian in ten words and I have helped Yitian, and in less than half a month, they have received a total of 800 yuan and 346 copper coins, which makes the Fuluo officials led by Jiang Anyi very moved.

The people are simple and the people are kind, Shi Qingle praised it fiercely in his article, and took the matter of the people volunteering to help the students as the result of cleaning up the government. Looking at the thick stack of articles, Shi Qingle was extremely satisfied with this trip to Fuluo County.

Seeing that it was about to be December, and if he didn't move, he wouldn't be able to catch up with the New Year in the capital, thinking of his family's waiting, and thinking of the glory that would inevitably be caused by the dynasty, Shi Qingle couldn't sit still anymore. Jiang Anyi bid farewell to Shi Qingle and gave some Cheng Yi as usual.

Shi Qingle said with a smile: "Shi can get acquainted with Anyi on this trip, he is the biggest Cheng Yi, these silver two stones don't want it, a pound of Qingwu tea bento is Cheng Yi." ”

Sending Shi Qingle away, followed by Qin Zixiong escorting this year's taxes to Jingyang Mansion, the "Da Zheng Law" stipulates that the tax is three points, and one third is taken from the upper (for the central government), sent (sent to the state capital), and retained (retained in the place). This year, the tax revenue in Fuluo County has quadrupled, and a total of 8,436 taels of silver has been received, and the remaining 2,800 taels are almost catching up with the entire tax of last year, and most of these taxes come from commercial taxes.

The government of "combining taxes into one" will only be implemented next year, so the taxes transported to Jingyang Mansion include tax grain, cloth and silk in addition to silver money, and more than 50 vehicles were fully carried, but fortunately, the carriages and horses seized from Huangyangzhai last time can be used. The bandits in Huangyangzhai have been eliminated, there is no need to worry about the safety on the road, and now these mountain bandits have repaired the section from Fuluo County to Fuluo County, Jingyang Prefecture, Qin Zixiong took more than 20 officials to escort the convoy on the smooth and wide avenue, and really admired Jiang Anyi's foresight.

Qin Zixiong took away more than 20 officials, as well as more than a dozen officials, and the yamen suddenly became deserted, but fortunately, the New Year was coming soon, and Fuluo County was calm, and nothing happened. Jiang Anyi couldn't go home for the New Year, so Dong'er arranged a New Year's gift early and sent it to Xinqi Pingshan Town, and of course he wouldn't forget Xinfei in Yongchang City.

Thinking that there will be a lot of things after the New Year next year, Jiang Anyi used the rare time to read books, and the sea was ups and downs, but he didn't have much time to calm down and read books. Soon after Zhuzhu became pregnant, Luoluo was also pregnant, Zhang Keji was overjoyed, and spent all his time taking care of the two daughters, and even Jiang Anyi's business was a little unconcerned. Jiang Anyi understands Mr. Zhang very well, it is a happy thing in life to find happiness after going through hardships, and he is happy for him, and at the same time, Jiang Anyi admires Mr. Zhang's skills a lot, and he works very hard, why is it ineffective.

Dong'er is very resentful, she originally planned to be able to conceive a child during the time she was alone with Jiang Anyi, although Jiang Anyi has no other woman except Xinfei and her, but Dong'er always has an inexplicable sense of tension, Jiang Lang is the champion, handsome and chic, versatile and golden, which always makes Dong'er feel insecure in addition to being happy and happy, for fear that one day Lao Zhuhuang will be disgusted by Jiang Lang. It would be different if he gave birth to a boy and a half girl for Jiang Lang, so Dong'er was very obsessed every night, Jiang Anyi understood Dong'er's thoughts, not to mention that this was a happy thing, of course it had to be satisfied.

On the ninth day of the first month of December, Jiang Anyi went to the front office as usual and went around the circle, chatted with Liu Xiancheng for a few words, and then retreated to the left study of the second hall to read, and the door came in to report: "My lord, a few monks came to the ya, saying that they were old friends of adults, and the leader called himself Hongxin. ”

"Oh, Master Hongxin has arrived." Jiang Anyi stood up in surprise and said, "Hurry up and greet." ”

When they came to the lobby, they met Liu Jiusi, and the two went to the gate together. There are not many people who believe in Buddhism in Fuluo County, and in the past two years, the court has vigorously promoted Buddhism, and there are often monks who come to visit the party, so that the people can understand these bald monks. Liu Jiusi is more well-informed as an official, and has an understanding of the government's worship of Buddhism, Master Hongxin is stationed in Anlong Temple, Sidezhou, and was named the Zen Master of Protector by the Son of Heaven, and is the first person in Jiangnan Buddhism. Moreover, Liu Jiusi also knew that the reason why the court worshiped Buddha was to suppress Taoism with the help of Buddha, because Yuantianjiao was Taoism, which caused trouble in Jiangnan Prefectures a few decades ago, and the residual poison has not yet been cleared.

Outside the gate, Master Hongxin's face was thin, although the yellow cloth monk's robe was patched, it was spotless, and when he saw Jiang Anyi and Liu Jiusi, he clasped his palms together, made an inquiry, and recited the Dharma name: "Amitabha, Jiang Tanyue is not harmed?" ”

Behind him were five gray-robed monks, carrying burdens on their backs, followed by clasped their palms together and bowed silently.

Come to the study and sit down, and the official offers green mist tea. Master Hongxin took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Jiang Tanyue seems to have a relationship with tea, first Anlong tea is expensive because of you, and now this Qingwu tea is also famous all over the world because of you, if the tea is known, Jiang Tanyue will be extremely grateful." ”

Jiang Anyi said gratefully: "I thought that the master would arrange for people to come after the year, but I didn't expect that the master not only came in person, but also didn't even pass the year. ”

"The monks don't ask about the red dust, how can they come to celebrate the New Year." Master Hongxin said indifferently: "Promoting Buddhism is the wish of poor monks, and how dare poor monks dare to work hard to do something for Buddhism." ”

Liu Jiusi interjected a few words next to him, and began to ask Master Hongxin about the theory of Buddhism, and Master Hongxin said simply, "All troubles have a cause, all laws are born because of fate, and all laws are destroyed by fate." Sentient beings are immersed in suffering, and they are constantly in the cycle of birth and death, and only by cutting off greed, hatred, and ignorance can they get out of the cycle of birth and death, reach nirvana, and have no more troubles." Liu Jiusi listened with relish, and asked Master Hongxin from time to time, Jiang Anyi, as the protector of Buddhism, knew only a limited amount of knowledge about Buddhism, so he took this opportunity to listen to a general idea.

Liu Jiusi asked a sharp question: "How does the master view the relationship between Confucianism and Buddhism?" ”

This question is obviously often asked, and Master Hongxin smiled: "Confucianism is benevolent and courteous, Buddhism advocates that all laws are empty, and Taoism governs without doing anything. If the people of the world can govern the heart with Buddha, govern the body with Taoism, and govern the world with Confucianism, be compatible and take together, and integrate and understand, it is also for the master. ”

Although these words were only a few short sentences, they were like an enlightenment, and Jiang Anyi and Liu Jiusi both had a sense of epiphany. The two glanced at each other, stood up and saluted Master Hongxin, "Thank you for your advice." ”

Master Hongxin returned the salute and said: "Jiang Tanyue, you said in the letter that you are going to build a Buddhist temple in Huangyang Mountain, I don't know when Tanyue will be free, take the poor monk to have a look." ”

Jiang Anyi said with a smile: "Master don't be in a hurry, slow down before building a Buddhist temple." I have thought about it for the past few days, and no one cared about the master who lived in Anlong Temple in Matou Mountain, just because it was not publicized enough. There are many believers in Fuluo County, and they don't have a deep understanding of Buddhism, so I am going to let the master do a seven-day Dharma meeting in Fuluo County to promote Buddhism. ”

Master Hongxin was not as thoughtful as Jiang Anyi in this regard, Master Hongxin thought about it, nodded in agreement, and asked: "What Jiang Tanyue said is very true, the poor monk obeys your arrangement, I don't know when the festival will start?" ”

"Three days later." Jiang Anyi originally wanted to put the Dharma meeting in the county school, but after thinking about it, there was always some conflict between Buddha and Confucianism, but it was not beautiful, so it was better to first use the open space in the Dongcheng market, which is wide and can accommodate thousands of people, as long as a high platform is set up in the middle, which is convenient and practical.

Jiang Anyi was about to ask An Yong about the situation, the housekeeper Wang Niu looked in front of the door in a panic, Wang Niu was Wang Bo's youngest son, this time Jiang Anyi came to Fuluo County to take up his post and brought him to the housekeeper. Wang Niu is honest, and he will never appear in the front office if he has nothing to do, Jiang Anyi shouted: "Wang Niu, is there something wrong?" ”

Hearing Jiang Anyi's call, Wang Niu came in in a panic and said, "Master, just now Miss Xi'er said that the young grandmother was nauseous and vomiting, as if she was sick, and she was going to ask for a doctor. ”

Jiang Anyi was anxious when he heard this, Dong'er has always been in good health, and he has never been sick since he beat him, so he didn't play for a long time last night and suffered from the cold. Jiang Anyi apologized and said to Master Hongxin: "Master, if you have something at home, you can't accompany you for a long time, so let Liu County accompany Master Cheng to Fuluo County, and live in the post house first. ”

After speaking, Jiang Anyi was about to follow Wang Niu back, and Master Hongxin clasped his hands and said: "Jiang Tanyue, the poor monk knows a little about medicine, if you don't dislike it, let the old monk take a look at your Mrs. Ru?" ”

Jiang Anyi was overjoyed, yes, he was treated by the master when he went mad, he had heard his mother say that the master had seen a doctor for the believers, and many incurable diseases that the doctor had restrained had been cured by the master, so some believers called the master a "holy monk".

Ask Master Hongxin to move to the East Flower Hall, and Jiang Anyi asked Xi'er to help Dong'er out. Dong'er followed Jiang Anyi to Anlong Temple to enter the incense, knowing the reputation of Master Hongxin, he respectfully bowed to the master, and just sat down, he couldn't help but vomit sideways.

Jiang Anyi caressed Dong'er's back worriedly and asked, "Where are you uncomfortable, can you get dizzy?" ”

As he spoke, he reached out to Dong'er's forehead to test the temperature. Dong'er slapped his hand away in disgust and said, "The master is sitting here, and he is rude. ”

Master Hongxin looked at his nose and nose, his nose looked at his heart, and his treasure was solemn, he stretched out two fingers and put them on Dong'er's wrist to listen to the pulse, and after a while, Jiang Anyi stared at Master Hongxin's face nervously, wanting to see some clues from his face.

A smile appeared from the corner of the master's mouth, and the smile spread out on the clear face, full of compassion. Master Hongxin withdrew his hand and said with a smile: "Congratulations Tan Yue, you are going to be a father." ”

Jiang Anyi was stunned by Master Hongxin's words, stared at the master blankly, opened his mouth, and couldn't say a word.

However, Dong'er saw the situation of Zhuzhu and Luoluo's first pregnancy, and she had some numbers in her heart, so she got up happily and said, "Thank you, master." ”

Jiang Anyi came to his senses and said with a smile: "Thank you, master, it seems that this son is also related to the Buddha, and the master will show joy as soon as he comes." ”

Master Hongxin was happy by Jiang Anyi's words, took off the rosary in his hand and handed it to Dong'er and said: "This bead is a gift from the first teacher, since the poor monk has a relationship with this son, he will give this Buddha bead to bless this son with peace and security." ”

Jiang Anyi and Dong'er were overjoyed and solemnly thanked Master Hongxin.
