Chapter 36 Winter Wheat and Spring Ploughing
The scholar's martial arts are not bad, and in the face of eighteen Khitan warriors, they were not directly hacked to death with knives, but struggled to support them. However, there are hexagrams everywhere on his body, and it seems that he can't last long.
"Well, let's spare him a dog's life. ”
The Khitan warriors immediately jumped back to their horses, and it could be seen that these monks were good hands. The scholar stood with his sword in his hand, without losing his demeanor, and there was blood everywhere on his white robe, but his expression was still calm.
Even Zong Xin felt strange, this scholar was too desperate. It didn't look like he was here to rob, but he didn't say anything else, he just stood here and didn't let himself pass.
Is it here to seek revenge? It shouldn't be~ I just came down the mountain not long ago, and I didn't know this scholar, and I didn't have any grudges with him.
"What the hell do you want to do?"
Standing behind the wicker, the scholar chuckled, "...... It's hard to buy a favorite, don't hurt this good tree, master. ”
Zhao Kuangyin scolded in the car: "This shameless thing, I gave you two chances, this kind of person deserves to die, Lao Tzu will kill him now." ”
Zhao Kuangyin in the carriage couldn't help it, and suddenly came out of it with a spear, this scholar was too shameless. After rushing out of the carriage, Zhao Kuangyin suddenly felt that his feet slipped, and he fell directly in front of the reader, his nose touched the willow branch down, and his nose suddenly itched.
"Ah~~Jiu~~"
Zhao Kuangyin hasn't been so cool for a long time, and this sneeze made Zhao Kuangyin's head bury deep down, almost touching the ground. Everyone knew that he fell and sneezed, but if they didn't know the process, they thought he had kowtowed to the reader.
The scholar smiled with satisfaction, then knelt on his knees and bowed to Zhao Kuangyin three times.
"TMD, you useless waste, who asked you to kneel and kowtow to him?" Zong Xinxia stood in front of Zhao Kuangyin and said angrily: "I really poured blood mold for eight lifetimes, how can I know you this waste." ”
Zhao Kuangyin said embarrassedly: "What an accident...... I didn't mean to, I slipped and fell, and the wicker got a sneeze on his nose. Anyway, he came back, and it was three bows and nine knocks, and I didn't suffer. ”
"If someone stabs you once, you stab him ten times, so you don't suffer a loss, right, and you still have to earn. Zong Xin said in a strange manner: "Go to the street to earn knives~"
Zhao Kuangyin still didn't understand what was going on, wasn't it just a small mistake? Why was Zong Xin so angry.
Zong Xin stared at the scholar and asked, "What is your surname Pan?"
"Under Pan Mei's double-word inquiry, he was rude to ask the holy monk for guilt. ”
"It's definitely intentional, all you're waiting here for is to let him kowtow to you, right, who made you do this?"
Pan Mei said: "It's a Taoist chief, he asked me to plant willows here today to rob, as long as someone worships me." The Taoist also said that someone would naturally tell me what to do next. ”
Zong was depressed in his confidence, since Zhao Kuangyin worshipped him, he couldn't kill him anymore. Knowing this, I should have directly asked the eighteen Dharma Protectors to step back.
"Pan Mei, do you want to be an official?"
"I want to~ Of course I do. ”
"Come with me, make sure you are an official, and I will ask you for help in the future. ”
"Thank you, Holy Monk. ”
Sure enough, there is a providence in the dark, and I can't force it.
Zong Xin only brought Pan Mei with him, who let Zhao Kuangyin worship him? But Zhao Kuangyin was full of question marks, what kind of reputation did Zong Xin do? He did have a small mistake, because he was so angry at that time, and his feet slipped and fell. Originally, he was going to kill this shameless scholar, but how did he suddenly reconcile? And this scholar is here for this......
Zong Xin asked Pan Mei to get on the horse, and the group went to Guo Wei. Originally, there were eighteen horses, and because there was a Khitan warrior who was responsible for driving the cart, one was vacated just for Pan Mei to ride.
"Zongxin, what the hell is going on, didn't you just want to kill him?"
Zong Xin waved his hand and said, "I can't kill it now." Zhao Kuangyin, you remember to Lao Wei, go up to the sky, bow down to the ground, and you must not kowtow to anyone, even if your feet are broken. This matter must be remembered, otherwise the poor monk will not be able to help you. ”
Zhao Kuangyin's face sank and he thought for five minutes......
"Zongxin, why do you call yourself an old man, don't be so shameless at your age?"
"What's the point?" Zong Xin said, "That's right, I'll pay attention next time." ”
......
Guo Xin pointed the way and soon came to the gate of Guo's mansion, Guo Wei had already taken Chai Rong and Guo Tong to greet him at the door. With such a large team moving forward, Guo Wei had already gotten the news, and he knew that it was Master Zongxin when he guessed it.
"Master Zongxin ~ this little brother...... The injury is not light~" Guo Wei saw Pan Mei at first sight, with an extraordinary temperament and outstanding appearance, and her white robe was covered with blood marks everywhere. But the others are intact, what's going on?
Zong Xin said: "It's okay, Tianya go see your father." ”
"Dad~Big Brother~Second Brother~" Tianya immediately stepped forward and hugged Guo Wei's thigh.
The father and son depended on each other for their lives, never separated, and left for a few days after the apprenticeship, and they missed it very much. The most important thing is that Dad's martial arts are strong, which is completely different from this master who does not rely on Pu. However, the two have something in common, that is, they do things nonsense, it doesn't matter how high their father's martial arts are, and their master's martial arts are also in waves.
Zong Xin immediately ordered someone to bring the carriage into Guo Wei and prepare to stay temporarily. Then he handed everything over to Zhao Kuangyin, took Zhao Ziyan to the living room to drink tea, and didn't need others to call him to do it himself, and he didn't treat himself as an outsider at all.
The Khitan warrior is indeed easy to use, as long as he sincerely submits and must do his best, it is far better than ordinary slaves. Get things done quickly.
The group sat in the living room drinking tea, Guo Wei talked to Tianya for a while, and immediately came to see Master Zongxin.
"Master Zongxin, Guo Mou is really grateful to see that Xin'er's martial arts and temperament have improved. "Guo Wei is a master, and he can feel the changes in Guo Xin, not only has his martial arts become higher, but his temperament is completely different from when he left, stronger and more independent.
Zong Xin chuckled and said, "Lord Guo is polite. ”
Chai Rong glanced at Guo Wei, and Guo Wei nodded lightly. Everyone else sees what's wrong, but they don't know what's wrong.
"That...... Guo didn't know how to speak...... "Guo Wei said: "Maybe Master Zongxin doesn't know, just five days ago, the Khitan Emperor Yelude Guang made a will, Master Zongxin is a monk who has been taught in the world, and a sentence of 'winter wheat and spring ploughing' has made miraculous contributions to the Khitan, and now the spring wheat has been planted, growing well, and there will be a harvest in early autumn." Therefore, the word 'spring comes' is specially sealed by Master Zongxin. ”
Zong Xin said: "Since he has made a miraculous achievement, he has sealed me with two words? ”
"The Khitan Emperor has a thousand words, and you can go to the Khitan Emperor to receive a thousand taels of gold every year. Two words are two thousand taels of gold. Chai Rong immediately explained to Zong Xin the meaning of this reward, almost giving Zong Xin a stable income, but he had to go to Khitan to get the money.
"Two thousand taels of gold a year, that is, twenty thousand taels of silver, is the Khitan very rich?" Zong Xin couldn't believe his ears, he had never seen the Khitan Emperor Yelu Deguang, and he actually rewarded so much money just by his casual nonsense.
Guo Wei said: "The Khitan is rich and well-known all over the world, although the Khitan is mainly nomadic, but there are far more ore veins than the Central Plains, but the north is extremely cold and cannot grow food. Your phrase 'winter wheat and spring ploughing' can make the Khitan richer than it is now. Originally, the Khitan was difficult to deal with, just look at this year's harvest, if this year's Khitan spring wheat harvest is good, next year's spring ploughing will definitely go south. ”
Zong Xin put his hands together and said, "Amitabha...... Two thousand taels of gold, is it really two thousand taels of gold every year?"
"Master Zongxin, have you listened to me?"
"Does what you said have anything to do with the poor monk?" Zong Xin asked curiously, "Could it be that this account is being counted on the poor monk's head?" Poor monks can't control you secular people fighting for fame and fortune, can't they still care about the people's suffering, and it's also the fault of the poor monks to let them eat well? All living beings are equal, as long as it is a good deed, the poor monks are willing to do it, and in the eyes of the poor monks, there is no difference between the Khitan and the Han people. ”
admired, but at the same time admired and had an urge to hit him...... Since he is Chai Rong, he gritted his teeth with hatred, and now the relationship between the Central Plains and the Khitan can be said to be incompatible, and he actually came up with such a good idea for the Khitan.
But as a monk, Master Zongxin did a good job, he just made more people have enough to eat, and he did nothing. But as a citizen of the Han Dynasty, I really want to cut this demon monk with a thousand knives...... If it weren't for his words, the Khitan might not have dared to attack the Central Plains.
It is true that the Khitan people are fierce, but they are mainly nomadic, and there is not much food in the north. The so-called three armies have not moved, grain and grass go first, and there is no war without food, and as many soldiers need as much food as they need.
So the nomads had a surplus of food, so they formed the habit of threshing grass and valleys, and they had to burn and kill and loot everywhere they went, one was to vent the fear of war in the hearts of the soldiers, and the other was to feed the war with war, but this was not a long-term solution, so it was impossible to go on an expedition.
It would be different if the Khitan started growing grain, and with the food supply, the Khitan could conquer farther away. Zongxin's words may be the key to greater prosperity for the Khitans.
But if you think about it carefully, it is imperative for the Khitan to go south, whether there is this sentence of 'winter wheat and spring ploughing', they will go south one day.
Guo Wei sighed and said: "Master Zongxin, Guo knows that you are a high-ranking monk, but the Khitan is only afraid that the Central Plains will not be protected when it goes south~ When the time comes, there will be countless casualties." ”
"In this way, Lord Guo took the poor monk to see the hidden emperor Liu Chengyou, and the poor monk had his own clever plan. ”
"It's okay, the old man also wants to see Master Zongxin's talent. The Khitan Emperor Yelude is extremely human, and since he intends to reward him, it must be because Master Zongxin has something extraordinary. Guo Wei had no other way, he originally wanted to take Zongxin to see Emperor Liu Chengyou. This matter has been spread, Master Zongxin will definitely become a lost place, and the people of the world will think that he is a demon monk rather than a high monk.
Unless Master Zongxin can calm down this matter, the Central Plains will definitely not tolerate him. In this case, Master Zongxin can only go north to the Khitan, believing that the Khitans will accept him. But this is also the last thing Guo Wei wants to see, because this is the purpose of Yelu Deguang.
