Xue Huaiyi is now on the same boat as the Wu family, and the Wu family gave too much.Regardless of his current status, it seems that he has a lot of people to fawn on, but he also spends a lot.He is the abbot of the White Horse Temple, and he has raised many monks. This White Horse Temple is not the one in history. Not high, after all, after so many years, unless you grow cotton, mulberry or something, otherwise, you can’t make much money from growing food, and the price of food is too low. It's not uncommon to have a penny or a bucket.These days, one mu of land is equivalent to four or five stones of output. That is to say, if one mu of land is only sold for grain, it can be sold for a few hundred dollars. For ordinary people, this amount of money is Naturally, it was enough, but for Xue Huaiyi's Baima Temple, it was far from it.

The monks of the White Horse Temple, who are of a slightly higher status, wear brocade cassocks, and the little novice below wears ordinary straight gowns, which are also made of fine cotton. Many of these monks have no serious background at all. To put it bluntly, they are basically thugs raised by Xue Huaiyi. Naturally, although their lives are not extravagant, they cannot be supported by ordinary believers. .Most of the high-ranking officials and nobles knew about some bright halls of the White Horse Temple, so they were not willing to let their relatives go to the White Horse Temple to worship. In this way, relying on the low-level believers and Wu Zetian's rewards alone could not support it at all.Most of the money that Xue Huaiyi collected was spent in the White Horse Temple.Among the people who often bribed him, the most generous ones were the Wu family.Xue Huaiyi is not the kind who waits for money and does nothing. Therefore, he is comfortable serving Wu Zetian on the front foot, and then passes on Wu Zetian's words to the Wu family on the back foot.

The Wu family suddenly felt that what Wu Zetian meant was that she didn't want to be such a villain because of the relationship between mother and daughter. Therefore, if your family wants to marry Taiping, you can find a way to kill Xue Shao yourself, and that will be done.

The Wu family didn't have any psychological barriers when it came to killing people, but because Xue Shao was now in Li Yue's territory, they hesitated.Many people think that Li Yue is a good-tempered person, but the brothers of the Wu family who suffered a lot in Minyue all those years ago think that Li Yue is a typical smiling tiger, with a friendly face, but in fact, he is never merciless.If he really offended Li Yue, he would definitely take revenge later.

While the Wu family brothers were considering the pros and cons, Li Yue had already written a letter to return to Minyue.Wu Hou asked to stay for a while, and then let him go directly.

Although Sima Chengzhen promised to send someone to accompany him, on the one hand, it will take some time for the various branches of the Taoist sect to send messages, not to mention choosing the right person. Not all Taoist priests are willing to go overseas to preach; on the other hand, The Taoists wanted to make a fortune in silence, and they didn't want the Buddhism to discover their movement. They planned to break it up into pieces and enter Minyue from all directions and even go directly to Ryukyu Yizhou in the way of wandering Taoists.

Therefore, Li Yue and his party were easy going and returned to Quanzhou smoothly.

On the other side of Quanzhou, Xue Shao was disappointed when he found that Taiping hadn't come back.Xue Shao is also in a conflicted mood now. Of course he has a deep relationship with Taiping. Taiping was born noble, not arrogant, gentle and considerate, and considerate. Not to mention the bonus of being a princess, even if he doesn't, so My daughter-in-law is also what many people want.It's just that Taiping's biological mother is really terrible. Back then, she felt that Xue Yi and Xue Xu's wives were not noble enough to be Taiping's sister-in-law, so she almost forced his two elder brothers to divorce their wives.

In fact, if Xue Shao was a child of ordinary meritorious service, Wu Zetian might not be so fussy. The key point is that Xue Shao is also the son of a princess, and his relationship with the Li family is too close. However, Wu Zetian had already thought of replacing him, so he naturally felt a little dissatisfied.Xue Yi and Xue Xu almost all died at the hands of Wu Zetian, and Xue Shao himself was almost finished. If there is no hatred for Wu Zetian, it is impossible.Xue Wei may have done it on his own, but Xue Xu didn't get involved in this matter. Even according to the law of sitting together in the law of the Tang Dynasty, exile is a normal operation for Xue Xu's status.

Before Wu Zetian threatened Taiping with the lives of Xue Yi and Xue Xu's orphan, Xue Shao actually had a bad premonition.Now that Taiping was staying in Luoyang, Xue Shao became even more silent.

Yang Yao hesitated for a moment, but still persuaded: "Taiping can't help herself now, besides, she really has you in her heart, if not, with her identity and the love she has received, how could she be restrained because of the Xue family?" ?”

Xue Shao pondered for a while, and sighed: "I know this, but, this will only make Taiping more difficult! Without me, she might be able to go farther!" Xue Shao really had something in his heart With a little thought, in the dead of night, he had thought that if Taiping could ascend the throne, her successor would most likely be from the blood of the Xue family.As long as he thought about it, Xue Shao felt that his blood vessels began to burn.Although the Xue family can be regarded as a noble family, but among the noble families, it is only a second-rate family. If the blood of the Xue family can really become the master of this empire, then even if he dies, so what?

Seeing that Taiping didn't come back now, Xue Shao realized that Taiping probably had the same intentions, so he became firmer now.

Li Yue is not a thoughtful person, he can't care too much about Xue Shao's plans, anyway, he has done his duty anyway.Therefore, after talking about the current situation in Taiping, Li Yue and Yang Yao had to do their own things.

After the empress ascended the throne, there seemed to be no turmoil on the surface, but for a long time to come, there will inevitably be some turmoil inside and outside the court, and Minyue will be more or less affected. For example, it is very likely that there will be another Some people will be exiled.

Li Yue also does not plan to relocate all the people in Minyue. These exiled people still have great hopes. They will be heroes when Li Tang is restored. They will be promoted to rank, under such circumstances, they will naturally not be willing to go to sea with Li Yue.As for Li Yue, what is needed now is not this kind of person. Minyue has been carrying out literacy education for so many years, and will further train outstanding talents among them. In this era, low-level officials actually don't need Too high knowledge, what they need to do most is to accurately convey the orders from above, rather than distorting them for profit.

Li Yue needs a country with a strong mobilization ability at the grassroots level. For example, the officials in Datang today obviously do not meet this requirement. They are representatives of lazy politics, because apart from their normal responsibilities, most of the time they don’t care about anything, and even for this normal responsibilities, they are only responsible for a small area, and the rest will be handed over to The local clerks and the gentry and nobles below can greatly reduce the cost of governance and save a lot of trouble. After all, it’s not bad to not do it often!

Now Li Yue would rather recruit a bunch of illiterate poor people than those who have good knowledge and once held high official positions. These people are really hard to serve.

Therefore, these exiled people should honestly take over Minyue, which has been emptied because of Li Yue's immigration. Maybe they can continue to enclose land in Minyue?It's just a question of how many people can be found to plant.

Li Yue is actually not optimistic about the development of Minyue after he left, just like when Li Yue left his first fief, Ningzhou, Ningzhou had already established a decent industry at that time. The system was in its infancy, but after Li Yue left, it was okay at first, but later, all the minerals and workshops over there were divided up.The people sent by the royal family couldn't play with those big families at all, so they kept a shell, and the skills and skilled workers inside were all dug out.

It is estimated that Minyue's side will be similar in the future, but anyone who can make money may not be able to escape those greedy guys. , after they carve up, they may not be able to lead them to the correct development path. They will still use their capital to suppress others. Compared with Li Yue, their employment cost is simply too low. In this way, they are actually There is no need to care too much about technological progress, just lowering labor costs is enough for them to make money.What's more, in fact, Minyue's industrial development was good in the past, mainly due to Li Yue's high technology. However, when Li Yue left, he must take away everything he could. These people reckoned that they would soon They will find that rather than resuming the industrial development here, it is more cost-effective to grow economic crops on the basis of Li Yue's stay. The threshold is low, and there is no need to worry about not being able to sell them.

After Minyue, most of the remaining people are a group of nobles who were exiled and diehards among the Yue people. It is estimated that the court will find a way to send people to enrich Minyue in the future, but that is not what Li Yue needs to care about. up.

Although the Yue people also resettled and relocated, their ancestors themselves relocated from the Central Plains, so most of them have no resistance to going overseas, not to mention that they can't come back after going.Compared with Minyue, which has more mountains and less land, overseas is still very attractive to many Yue people.What's more, Li Yue also promised that when the time is right in the future, no more than 20 years at the most, the system of military merit titles will be restored. It is not the empty titles of the Tang Dynasty, but the real titles of the Qin and Han Dynasties, which can be hereditary .The title is still very attractive, and Li Yue has a high reputation for so many years. Therefore, at least the younger generation is very interested in it. Naturally, Li Yue's immigration work has become more and more smooth.

By the third year of Tianshou, those willing to immigrate had already boarded the big ship to Ryukyu and Mingzhou, and Li Yue took everything else he could take with him, and officially transferred Ryukyu to Ryukyu, temporarily setting his capital at Yizhou Xinhua .
