The first Taoist priest of the Tang Dynasty

Thirdly, it can save wages, right?

Li Shimin at this time was really puzzled after hearing the words.

What is puzzling is when such a place was built outside Lizhou City.

However, in the letter sent back to him from Lizhou, this point was not mentioned, which made Li Shimin more curious than puzzled.

in fact.

This Lizhou commercial market was originally built outside the city.

Furthermore.

The trade fair has only been open for less than a month.

The staff of Baiqi Division didn't know what this place was built for at the beginning, and they thought they would report it after they knew it.

This is not.

When Li Shimin came to Lizhou, he happened to miss the news of Baiqisi.

"Old man, how long has this commercial market been open? Is it similar to a grocery store?" Li Shimin asked curiously to the old man who explained to him.

"It seems that you are really coming to Lizhou for the first time. You are right. This commercial market exists just like a grocery store. As long as you have money, you can buy it in the commercial market. The same , as long as you have goods to sell, you only need to pay some booth rental fees, and you can settle in and sell your things." After the old man explained, he went directly to the trade fair.

He didn't come to explain for Li Shimin, he came to buy vegetables.

"My lord, there are so many people, I think it's better not to enter." Wang's servant looked at the scene of so many people gathering, fearing that something might happen to Li Shimin after he entered the commercial market.

"It's okay, I see that these people are ordinary people, let's go in and have a look." How could Li Shimin stop his curiosity.

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Shimin went to the trade fair.

As soon as Li Shimin entered the commercial market, he found that it was just as the old man said, and there were voices of selling everywhere.

It was more violent than what he saw and heard when he entered Lizhou City from the pier.

All kinds of goods, although compared with the West Market in Chang'an City, are somewhat insufficient, but the difference is not much different.

Walk around and see.

After half an hour.

Only then did Li Shimin and Wang Neishi come out from the crowd.

"Wang Zhong, it seems that he did the right thing to let Jiushou be the governor of this Lizhou. I never expected that such a remote prefecture would reach such a state under his construction. For some upper states, it’s much better.” Li Shimin looked emotional after visiting the trade fair.

"My lord, Jiushou is a Taoist. The main purpose of a Taoist is to seek the well-being of the people, and Jiushou is even more so. Although Jiushou has not been the governor of Lizhou for many years, he has built Lizhou into a better place than those southern states. They all have to have a good appearance, thinking about it, the nine poems must have taken a lot of thought." Wang's servant also sighed endlessly.

Such a commercial market, except for the West Market in Chang'an City, other state capitals are basically incomparable.

After Li Shimin heard the words, he didn't make a sound anymore, he turned and went back to the city.

Subsequently.

The two visited the East City and the North City again.

After looking at everything.

Li Shimin felt more and more emotional.

When night comes.

Li Shimin was sitting in the lobby of the guest house, and when he was about to have dinner, the shopkeeper of the guest house came over and said: "Guest officer, today I have a fire dance show in Lizhou. If you look at it, you can go there by yourself after dinner, and if you go early, you can find a good seat."

"Oh? What is Huowuxiu?" Li Shimin was puzzled.

"This is a unique ceremony in Lizhou. It is also a ceremony of some non-Han people in Lizhou. I can't tell you the specifics. If you go to the Fire Dance Show, there is a notice there, which is clearly written It’s clear, as long as the guest officer takes a look at it.” The shopkeeper said with a smile, and left.

And what the shopkeeper said made Li Shimin even more puzzled.

The puzzlement of his life.

It is estimated that it is all in Lizhou.

Li Shimin is not happy.

As for the fire dance show in Lizhou, he didn't go to watch it, so he sent a few personal guards there.

When those personal guards came back to report back, Li Shimin also understood why this fire dance show was.

"Multiple ethnic groups are more united and fewer disputes. Let the fire dance become a demonstration for the Han people from other ethnic groups, so that the Han people can understand some cultures of other ethnic groups. I don't know who made this fire dance show." Li Shimin heard After that, he spoke in a low voice.

Come on.

The fire dance show was originally held by the Lizhou government for other ethnic groups.

At the same time, Fanbang people and some other Han people were also allowed to watch.

One is to reduce disputes between ethnic groups.

Secondly, it is also to promote some customs and cultures of other ethnic groups and so on.

but.

There are not many such fire dance shows, and there will be one occasionally. After all, there are demonstrations of other ethnic groups, and not every show is a fire dance show.

And such a fire dance show was not created by Zhong Wen.

But it came from the hand of Zheng Zhi in Lizhou.

Since Zheng Zhi really started to do things for the people, Zheng Zhi really seemed to have found his own responsibility.

Together with other officials, he went to the countryside to investigate and solve the worries of the people.

Therefore, there is such a fire dance show about the nation.

The night passed.

The next morning.

Li Shimin and his group left the guest house, got into a carriage covered in dung, and headed for the north of Lizhou City.

What Li Shimin saw and heard about Lizhou yesterday.

Although shocked.

But the purpose of his trip was not to take a look at Lizhou, but to go to Longquan Temple.

After they left the north gate of Lizhou.

It was not until the evening that the group of them arrived at the hilltop far away from Longquan Village.

"Your Majesty, do you want to send someone to Longquan Temple to report?" At this moment, a servant approached the carriage and asked Li Shimin in the carriage.

"Alright." Li Shimin responded.

Shortly after.

A group of people came to Longquan Temple.

And this time.

Li Daoling, who had already received the news, brought dozens of people up and down in the temple, and all stood outside the Longquan Temple to greet him.

And these dozens of people.

Except for the Taoists of Longquan Temple, all the men and women, old and young, from the families of the Taoists are all here.

As for Li Zhu and the others, and Man Qing.

Naturally, they will not appear among these people.

"Welcome Your Majesty to Longquan Temple." When Li Shimin got off the carriage, Li Daoling immediately saluted with dozens of people.

"Great Uncle, get up quickly, Erlang is saluting to you." Li Shimin saw Li Daoling saluting to him, and rushed over to support Li Daoling.

According to regulations.

It is not an exaggeration for Li Daoling to salute Li Shimin, the sage.

But Li Shimin was wearing ordinary clothes at this time, not ordinary clothes.

According to the regular system, Li Shimin came here as a junior, so Li Shimin definitely did not dare to accept Li Daoling's gift.

"That's right, I'm looking good. The future of my Tang Kingdom is in Erlang's heart. If you want to be the emperor, don't let the people suffer." Li Daoling was supported by Li Shimin, and looked in front of him. Li Shimin said with a smile.

This is the end.

Only then did everyone present know that Li Daoling's real identity was the great-uncle of the current emperor, Li Shimin, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

This made everyone present feel a little overwhelmed.

"Yes, what the great uncle taught, Erlang will keep it in his heart." Li Shimin replied with a smile.

Followed.

Li Daoling greeted Li Shimin and several people entered the temple.

As for those personal guards, they had to stay on the sidelines.

Li Shimin's way.

It disrupted the daily work and rest of Longquan Temple.

This also made everyone terrified, but at the same time they were looking forward to showing their faces in front of the current saint.

Shortly after.

Li Shimin and Li Daoling were sitting in the room, facing each other.

After Li Daoling heard what Li Shimin said to him, he remained silent.

For today's sage Li Shimin suddenly came to Longquan Temple.

Li Daoling was a little puzzled and curious at first.

But when Li Shimin told him about Chang'an and what he said, Li Daoling understood why Li Shimin came to Longquan temple.

At this time, Li Daoling sighed, and said to Li Shimin: "Alas!!! Erlang, I already know what you mean when you come to Longquan Temple, but Jiushou hasn't come back yet, I believe what you said Jiushou definitely won't do it. I watched Jiushou grow up, and I know better than you what kind of person Jiushou is."

"Jiu Shou likes to be lazy, but because of the matter of the teacher, Jiu Shou has never succeeded in trying to be lazy, and you suspect that Jiu Shou has hidden thoughts. It seems that you are thinking too much. My disciple, I am the most It couldn't be more clear. Besides, the matter of the teacher's family is more important than the imperial power in Jiushou's heart. You suspect that Jiushou intends to replace you as emperor, I think you have underestimated Jiushou."

Li Daoling's words made Li Shimin feel a little embarrassed.

Although what Li Shimin said to Li Daoling just now did not specify.

But in Li Daoling's place, Li Shimin's thoughts were revealed in one word.

He even directly said that his disciples never wanted to replace him.

But Li Shimin was still worried.

If Li Shimin could not control a person whose force value could be over his head at will, he would definitely have some suspicions in his heart.

Chapter 763 I'm a teacher

"The goal of Jiushou is not imperial power, nor is it to be a generation of emperors. He just hopes that there will be no so many injustices in the world, and he doesn't want the people in the world to be hungry. The son has no education."

"Erlang, for Jiushou, the position of emperor is nothing more than a fleeting moment. Although I am the master of Jiushou, do you know? How old is the second master of Jiushou now? About 150 years old. You can imagine it. You know, the ultimate goal of Jiushou is longevity, which is the highest level of martial arts in the world, and it is to live to be over 150 years old, or even [-] years old."

Li Daoling kept staring at Li Shimin in front of him while talking.

Both in and out of the words, it is impossible for Zhong Wen to be an emperor, and it is impossible to fight for any power or position.

anything.

Compared with the highest state of martial arts in the world, power is just a trivial thing.

For example, Zhong Wen can really be number one in the world.

What imperial power, what emperor.
