Northern Dynasties Imperial Industry

In Xingcheng City, Beihua Prefecture, Shu Hui was sitting in the hall looking at Li Tai and complained: "Why didn't you tell me as soon as something like this happened? Diao Xie's nostalgia may not be a giant bandit, but your guest department Even if you come from afar, unexpected events are inevitable. It’s not that I don’t believe in your courage and courage, but I’m close to the river. It’s just a matter of words, and the envoy will not miss the trip!”

Seeing that Huizhen was a little angry, Li Tai couldn't sit still at the table. He stood up and said: "If it was just a family matter, I would certainly come to visit you. Please make arrangements carefully. But what I am disturbing now is official business, and you are responsible for it." The governor of the state will inevitably be embarrassed in his affairs, so I don't want to disturb the envoy."

He did not doubt whether Shuo Hui would stand up for him, but as the governor of North China Prefecture, if he blindly supported himself, an outsider, it would indeed make the state and county officials unhappy.

"Yes, you are no longer an idle recluse in the countryside. You have to give an explanation to your subordinates. If this matter is investigated by the state government, you may not be able to get a satisfactory result. Only when envoy Yang Shao of Fucheng County came to complain did I I found out that the local tycoon turned out to be a disciple of Chang Shan in Xi'an Prefecture. Although Chang Shan and I are not close to each other, we still guard the border together and were taken care of by him during the raid on Buluoji last year."

After hearing this, Hui Hui nodded, admitting that sometimes he could not help himself, and added: "Yang Shao has imprisoned the criminals in Luochuan County who colluded with local evil, and I asked him to be tried and beheaded in the county. There will be no more disturbances in this situation, but how Chang Shan will react is still unpredictable."

"Both internally and externally, they are all loyal to the country. I often envoy you to guard Beizhou, and I don't intend to cover up evil. Since these kinds of people are pretending to be powerful and do evil in the countryside, now that they have been brought to justice, I will not continue to pester them. ”

Li Tai added: "I will send a message to Xi'an later. It would be best if Chang Shijun can be tolerant for the country. But if he is ignorant of justice and harbors personal resentment, I can only argue with reason.

Before Lei died, he threatened that he had a son serving under Chang Shijun. Of course I believe that Chang Shijun can distinguish right from wrong, but it is inevitable for a wise man to make mistakes occasionally.

I have left room for him to investigate Wu Qingzhuo without going into details. If he is bewitched by evil people again, he will really live up to his appointment by the imperial court. Even if it is to preserve the reputation of this minister, he must do his best to eliminate evil! "

"Are you willing to offend all the veterans inside and outside? Although Daxingtai appreciates your talents, if you are just stubborn and don't get along well with the masses, there is no guarantee that you will not be alienated and disliked."

Hearing Li Tai say that he was showing off his dignity, Shui Hui couldn't help but feel happy.

He didn't doubt whether Li Tai had the courage to say or do this. After all, this kid dared to provoke Zhao Gui when he was just a native of Dongzhou. Although Chang Shan was also the general who founded the government, he was still much inferior to Zhao Gui. Naturally, he could not scare this boy who was protected by Da Xingtai.

After pondering for a while, Shuo Hui said: "That's all, you don't have to write to Chang Shan anymore. Since the matter happened within my jurisdiction, I can't stay out of it and explain it to him on your behalf."

He didn't want to try Li Tai's ability to offend people again, so he decided to come forward and make peace himself. After all, his son is still living in this little village. If the conflict persists and Chang Shan leads a crowd to come to hold him accountable, his son will be shocked.

Now that he had planned to take charge of the matter himself, Shuhui said again: "Although the local villain is not a strong man in national defense, he has also lost a lot of help to the army. The people are already dead, so you have to stay for the money that should be given to the soldiers of Xi'an Prefecture. ”

After hearing this, Li Tai was naturally a little unhappy. My goods have already been loaded into the car, how can I stay here?

But after all, Shuhui was kind-hearted and didn't want him to have too many grudges.

After thinking for a while, he smiled and said: "I know that the soldiers on the border are spending their time in poverty, so naturally I will not be greedy for money. Needless to say these little things for the time being, in addition to informing me of the previous events during my visit today, there is actually one more thing, that is It is necessary to increase supplies and create new uses for the defense of northern states and counties.”

Shuohui's interest immediately increased when he heard this. He never doubted Li Tai's wisdom in making money and doing things. He quickly came closer and asked curiously: "What clever strategies do you have?"

"I would like to ask the envoy, during the previous attack on the Jihu tribe, were there any Buddhist artifacts related to Master Liu among the things seized?"

Li Tai asked again.

"That's not clear. Let me ask first."

After hearing this, Shui Hui shook his head, raised his hand and summoned his subordinates for questioning, and ordered them to go and check the treasury for the spoils of Jihu's battle.

After the officials accepted the order and left, Huicai asked curiously: "Why are you asking these questions? Is the plan related to Buddhist affairs?"

In front of Shuhui, Li Tai had nothing to hide, so he briefly explained the massacre of the temple by his subordinate Mao Shijian and others.

"It's true that just like the officials, there are the same subordinates! You dare to do this kind of thing. You all don't have much authority in the government office, but your courage is astonishing."

Shuhui's eyes widened when he heard this. He is also a Samana believer, which can be seen from the name Bodhidharma for his son. In fact, the martial arts people in Beizhen all believed in Buddhism to some extent. Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Jian, still lives in the temple.

However, this kind of belief is not pious. It is either affected by the living environment and atmosphere, or it is out of a utilitarian and peace-of-mind mentality. If everyone were devout Buddhists, they would still be herding sheep and chanting sutras in Wuchuan.

Li Tai only thought that Shuo Hui was praising them. After hearing this, he just laughed and said: "The Dharma has authenticity and the Buddha has good and evil. If you don't judge and worship them all, you will lose your sincerity in serving the Dharma and the Buddha. You are just stupid." It’s just a matter of faith. They lose themselves and destroy the foundation of Buddhism. This kind of superstitious belief in the Buddha is not beneficial to the world or the Dharma!”

"You have never believed in Buddhism. How can you distinguish between good and evil in Buddhism?"

Naturally, Shui Hui would not be easily persuaded, and after hearing this, he snorted coldly.

"As the saying goes, the authorities are obsessed with the beholder. It is precisely because of my innocence that I am not involved in it, so I can maintain a clear understanding of what is true and what is false!"

Li Tai talked about fallacies one after another. At this time, the state official who went to take stock also returned, followed by two people, carrying a huge box containing many scriptures. The scrolls and Buddha statues, those Buddha statues are somewhat similar to the Buddha statue of Master Liu that Li Tai saw in Pushan Temple. It can be seen that the image of this eminent monk who has been dead for many years is relatively unified in the minds of folk believers.

Seeing that there were indeed many Buddhist objects related to Master Liu among Jihu's trophies, Li Tai felt even more confident. He pointed at the Buddhist artifacts in the cage and said: "The so-called revenge for killing my father is irreconcilable! Jihu harmed the people and incurred heavy blood debts. There are more than two or three hatreds accumulated.

Jihu worshiped Master Liu because he was of the same genus. If Master Liu had the true Dharma, why couldn't he teach his kindred spirits? The fathers of Guanxi left their homes to worship the Buddha, but those monks ignored the blood feud between their clans and enshrined this evil Buddha in the hall. Even if the heavens cannot share it, how can the evil Buddha accept this worship! "

Hearing what Li Tai said, Shuo Hui also grasped his train of thought, and then spoke again: "You mean, Master Liu is enshrined in the Buddhist temple that was massacred before?"

After hearing the words, Li Tai nodded: "The Buddhist scriptures may be able to purify sins. Although I am not a Samana disciple, I dare not look down on the great monks. Master Liu may be aloof and kind, but this cannot be used to erase the heinous sins of his species!"

It may be difficult for ordinary people to understand the profound meaning of Buddhism, but are those monks ignorant? They actually deceived the elders of Guanxi and tempted them to laugh at each other and worship the same Buddha. This is really a heinous crime and should be severely punished! "

"That's the truth!"

When Shuhui heard these words, she couldn't help but nodded in agreement. It is true that he believed in Buddhism, but if he said he had any high respect for Master Liu, he really didn't have any. Even after learning that he was born in Jihu, he couldn't help feeling secretly disgusted.

Jihu has disturbed Kansai for many years, and countless people have suffered directly from it. The believers may not know who Master Liu is, but they are willing to pay respect to him out of their belief in and worship of Buddhism. Also out of disgust for Ji Hu, he would also turn hostile to Master Liu.

Li Tai naturally cannot provoke the entire Buddhism at the moment, but those monks, can they represent the entire Buddhism? Putting Jihu idols in the Buddhist hall in a grand manner, isn't this a provocation to the emotions of the masses?

"If this is true, then your troops are not killing indiscriminately. Those monks did deserve to die!"

Shuhui sighed first, and then asked: "You said you wanted to increase supplies and create new uses for the border garrison. Is this the case?"

Li Tai then took out the account book that Mao Shijian had collected in the temple, and said to Shu Hui: "I have ordered my subordinates to collect the floating goods stored in the temple. However, there are still a large number of people accumulated in the temple property. Pushan Temple Those who confuse the public and destroy the law should be punished, and it is natural for them to be confiscated to the government. "

Naturally, he had no intention of spitting out what he had eaten. But he couldn't eat the other savings from the temple property. After all, he is in someone else's territory. If he checks and transports things unscrupulously, it will be a slap in the face of the local magistrate.

"I'm afraid this is not an isolated case in one temple. Therefore, I plan to return to Taiwan to report to Daxingtai and strictly investigate all temples in Kansai. If there are still evil spirits like this, we must strictly eliminate them!"

Li Tai said sternly that of course it would be impossible for this so-called strict investigation to cause trouble with the Buddha statue. There must be a financial account behind it.

The key reason why the Samanas are difficult to deal with lies in the superstition of public opinion. The current state of the Western Wei Dynasty is obviously not suitable for large-scale extermination of Buddhism, otherwise it will cause mass turmoil and even the collapse of rule in minutes. But if you can use this to win over public opinion, it is also a basic operation to make a big deal.

When Shuhui heard this, he immediately pointed at Li Tai and laughed and said: "No wonder Daxingtai is so loyal to you, even some old friends can't match you. This kind of talent is really enviable!

Don't wander around outside, and return to Taiwan immediately to report the matter. I will send my disciples here to carefully visit the temples in the territory. Once the order from Daxingtai is issued, we will take action immediately! "

Li Tai was overjoyed after hearing this. If this matter could be accomplished, Yu Wentai would be willing to help him wipe his butt a few times. Should he find time to offend a few North Town bosses again? Ruining all the relationships with his fellow villagers, I am the most loyal minister of the Overlord!
