Chapter 258

"Many people don't understand, what law to change and what fate to change? It used to be very good. Everyone lives well and has a lot of fun. Now you have changed the law and the revolution, isn't it for the ambition of your emperor? You have offended famous families and those sects, isn't it to make the territory of Yankang larger? Now you have caused natural and man-made disasters for years, you and the reform. This is a fallacy!"

In Bazhou Prefecture, Emperor Yanfeng walked on the street with a group of civil and military ministers, looking at the people who lined up in front of the official porridge stalls. Emperor Yanfeng walked over and came to a porridge stall. The officer who was distributing the porridge was about to kneel down. Emperor Yanfeng waved his hand and said, "it's cold, there are not so many rules. How much do you send?"

"Your Majesty, an adult has a bowl of rice porridge, two steamed buns, and a spoonful of dried vegetables."

Emperor Yanfeng nodded and asked him to go down. He handed out meals to the victims with his spoon in his hand. Behind him stood the civil and military officials of the imperial court. Yanfeng emperor continued while holding the spoon: "those who lived well in the past were never civilians! Si Nong, tell them how many people can be fed by an acre of good farmland before the National Teachers' reform."

Minister of agriculture hurriedly said: "Before the reform, the annual output of coarse grain per mu of good farmland was 330 Jin. But at that time, the fields were concentrated in the hands of aristocratic families, monasteries and Taoist temples, and farmers had no fields in their hands. There were 78 people in a farm family, planting 80 mu of land, with grain, fruits, vegetables and medicinal materials. They worked hard for a year, planted for two seasons, had no surplus food for a year, and were barely satisfied. They could eat oneortwo meals of meat a month, and would starve to death in case of natural and man-made disasters. In those days, many old people In case of a disaster, take the initiative to throw into the river or climb the mountain, so as not to affect your family. At that time, there were countless grain and money stored in aristocratic families, temples and Taoist temples. "

Yanfeng emperor said, "Eighty acres of land, feed a family of seven or eight people, and have worked hard to grow grain for a year. Where has the grain gone? Tell them again, how many people can a mu of land support after the reform?"

Minister of agriculture continued: "Your Majesty ordered the national master to change the law and take over the land in the world. Aristocratic families, monasteries and Taoist temples cannot have land. Ding Nan has 80 mu of land and 20 mu of good farmland. In recent years, the population has increased several times, and the territory has also increased a lot. The rules have also been changed. Ding Nan has 40 mu of land and 10 mu of good farmland. The national master asked martial arts and supernatural powers to work in agriculture, ensuring the harvest in drought and flood, drought and rain, and flood drainage, so there has been no famine for 160 years. Today, the yield per mu is 820 Jin Land taxes are two stones, and farmers don't think it costs money to eat meat. "

"300 Jin, 820 Jin."

Emperor Yanfeng pinched two steamed buns and put them in the bowl of the hungry people. He also scooped up dried vegetables and said with emotion, "what is Buddha? This is Buddha, living Buddha, living Buddha, Buddha of all the people! If you don't top the name of Tathagata, top the name of Taoist Lord, and say something like chicken soup that soothes the soul, then Buddha is the Taoist Lord! Si Nong, I ask you again, since the national division reform is very good and there is more food, why is famine once the natural disaster breaks out?"

Minister of agriculture looked puzzled and hesitated, "this..."

"Say!"

"Yes. In addition to the population increasing several times, there are also reasons for eating meat and fighting. Feeding animals requires food, feeding animals in the army, training troops, and fighting. The most important thing is the circulation of farmland. Some farmland has been bought by aristocratic families and sects and temples, and has become a landlord."

Minister of Agriculture said, "food is back in their hands again. The last sectarian rebellion was so bold because they had money and food in their hands. This famine should not have been so big. Is it not because after the war, the National Treasury was empty, and these aristocratic big valve sects and temples were unwilling to release food? The last sectarian rebellion had too much impact..."

Emperor Yanfeng turned back and glanced at the ministers, Avenue: "The Taoist temple of the big valve sect of the aristocratic family used to sit high in the sky, eating delicacies and delicacies every day, talking about romantic affairs, talking about the magic power of Taoism, and talking about the Immortals' immortality. There are farmers to support them. Who will give a hand to these farmers? Farmers refuse to accept and directly suffer disasters and disasters! Is this snow disaster strange? It's not strange. In the past, when sects ruled the country, this kind of snow disaster was not less! But it's not God's disaster, heaven's disaster, and It is the sects that bring disasters and difficulties. They want these people to submit and dare not make chaos! "

"The national teacher reform, let the sects work for farmers and merchants, they are not willing to do it. They don't want to do it. The national teacher reform again, open primary schools and universities, pass the skills of these sects to the world, and let the world do it, they are even more unwilling. They want to rebel, and they want to kill! But they don't know that their ancestors have been born in farmers for eight generations, and none of them is special!"

"You have also seen and heard clearly for me. This time I will kill their heads. Next time you do this like them, I will also kill your heads! The officials I want are not these superior sects, what masters and Buddha. The officials I want can do things in a down-to-earth manner! Scholars, farmers and businessmen, scholars must be able to work and do things for farmers and businessmen! There are also some scholar bureaucrats in the dynasty who think they are superior, grandma's, - historian, let me say A dirty word—— Grandma, every day Jijiwaiwai thinks highly of herself! I wish I could kill their heads! "

The civil and military ministers bowed their heads and dared not speak.

The two historians looked at each other with embarrassment. One of the older historians whispered, "Your Majesty, the son of heaven, be careful."

Yanfeng emperor said, "I don't often swear. Can I swear when I'm in a hurry? The historian will bear it."

Just then, the queue of people waiting for meals turned to a big monk, holding a golden bowl, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty said very well, but the natural disaster is coming. How to stop the natural disaster and prevent the people from suffering is the right way."

Emperor Yanfeng glanced at the great monk, gave him a bowl of rice, two steamed buns, and a spoonful of vegetables, and said, "I'm not only good at speaking, but better at cooking. The great monk eats slowly, and don't disturb the common people."

The big monk said yes and went with a golden bowl.

"Tathagata!" The people behind emperor Yanfeng saw the big monk, and their hearts shook slightly.

After the big monk left, an old Taoist came behind. His clothes were untidy and his hair was a little messy. He was carrying a bowl and said with a smile, "did your majesty eat?"

Yanfeng emperor looked dignified, gave him rice, shook his head and said, "I haven't eaten yet."

"Your Majesty should eat some. Only when you are full can you get on the road."

Emperor Yanfeng nodded, pinched two steamed buns, brought a bowl of porridge, and said to the civil and military officials, "come and eat some, too. Something happened."

The ministers of civil and military affairs looked at the monk and Taoist one by one as if they were facing great enemies. They saw the two squatting in the corner of the street with golden bowls and bowls, drinking porridge, eating steamed bread and dry vegetables, which were delicious.

The ministers came forward, each received a meal, and each squatted in the corner of the street. Yanfeng emperor squatted there, eating silently.

After eating, Emperor Yanfeng went to the well killing to wash the dishes, and the ministers lined up behind him. The Tathagata and the Taoist priest also came forward to wash the dishes and chopsticks and said, "I haven't eaten human food for a long time, but it has a different flavor."

"I have been eating with these ministers for months."

Yanfeng emperor seriously said, "the two Taoist brothers should often eat and don't let themselves live too high and too far."

"Gaoyuan is to avoid vulgarity."

The old Taoist priest laughed and said, "you are the emperor of the world, and you are in charge of the layman. But cultivating Buddhism and Taoism is to stay away from the troubles of the world. If you are disturbed, it is difficult to get away."

Yanfeng emperor smiled and asked, "Lord, can you become God?"

The Taoist shook his head.

Emperor Yanfeng asked the Tathagata again, "Tathagata, can you become a Buddha?"

The Tathagata shook his head: "the divine bridge is broken, who can become a real god Buddha?"

"Then what are you talking about? Stay away from the world and say that you are very powerful - historian, I say rude words again, don't remember, I know. Go down, you don't need you here."

After saying this, Emperor Yanfeng walked out of the city, followed by civil and military officials. Emperor Yanfeng stopped, looked back and said with a smile, "although it's according to the rules of the imperial court, not according to the rules of the Jianghu, it doesn't need so many people. If the realm of Shenqiao is left, others will retreat."

Many civil and military ministers stopped, and Yanfeng emperor was followed by seven people. There were eight people, including Taiwei yuankong monk, situxiu Yueqing, Sikong Wei Pingbo, Tiance general qinbaoyue, Mount Tai king lingxuhua, Hussars general Dingwu, kaifuyi, Shangqing suyunzhi of the third division, and the emperor.

The Tathagata and the Taoist Lord didn't care, and continued to move forward.

Emperor Yanfeng led the crowd to follow. They still didn't stop outside the city. When they went to the fields outside the city, Emperor Yanfeng stopped to see the crops and asked an old farmer, "can we have a good harvest?"

"Yes!" The old farmer's voice is loud.

Emperor Yanfeng smiled, turned back and said to the ministers behind him, "I can have a good harvest!"

The Taoist priest said, "Your Majesty, this year, not necessarily next year. The Taoist priest brought a book to record the story of the ruins, which is called kaihuang robbery Sutra. Your majesty, take your time first, and let's walk slowly. If your majesty still insists on reform after reading it, then the sun and moon will change."

The Tathagata sighed, "the Lord is merciful."

The Taoist shook his head, "he doesn't know the danger here. If he knows it, he will be like us." After that, he sent kaihuang Jiejing to Yanfeng emperor.

"Your Majesty, beware of deception!" Shangqing suyunzhi reminded.

Yanfeng emperor laughed, "it doesn't matter."

He took the kaihuang robbery Sutra from the Taoist master and read it carefully.

They continued to move forward leisurely. Yanfeng emperor turned page by page and read the kaihuang robbery Sutra from beginning to end. The Taoist Lord and the Tathagata did not urge, but walked forward quietly.

After walking out of the hundred miles, Emperor Yanfeng finished reading the kaihuang robbery Sutra, calmed down, looked up at the sky, and remained silent.

The old Taoist priest said, "Your Majesty should know how to do it, considering all sentient beings?"

Emperor Yanfeng was stunned, Suddenly said: "When I was young, Yankang did not have such a large territory, and the emperor was not so noble. At that time, various sects and aristocratic families were still domineering. Once I went abroad with envoys to visit a place called Yuanqi state, which is now Yuanzhou. There was a thunderstorm, and the sky was full of clouds, enveloping Yuanqi state. The thunder was chopping nonstop, killing countless cattle and sheep, as well as hundreds of animals Last name. "

"The emperor of the state of Yuan Qi, with all the civil and military officials, knelt in the thunderstorm to plead for mercy, and the people of the state also knelt on the ground, asking God to calm down. The emperor was killed in the thunderstorm. Later I learned that the God in their mouth was not a God, but Lei Yinzong, a sect. It was probably a bad harvest, and there were few good things to pay tribute to Lei Yinzong, so Lei Yinzong plundered. It was Lei Yinzong's Zhenjiao Lingbao, jiuxiao Lei's guiding shield, that caused Lei Yinzong's plunder 。 The emperor took the blame on himself, so Lei Yinzong killed him and replaced him with a new emperor. At that time, I was thinking... "

He looked at the Taoist Lord and the Tathagata and said word by word, "I want to overturn you! Now I have done it, but I haven't done enough with the national master, so there will be this snow disaster. Isn't it God? I overturn God!"

The Taoist priest couldn't help but said, "Your Majesty doesn't think of ordinary people? Do you want to turn Yankang into a ruins? You and the national master reformed, you and the national master fought down those sects and unified such a large territory, and the Taoist priest didn't stop you, right? But if you reform again, the heaven will be angry and endanger ordinary people!"

The old Tathagata said, "Your Majesty, think twice."

Emperor Yanfeng said, "you have your faith, and I have my faith."

The old Tathagata sighed and said to the Taoist master, "old Taoist friend, change an emperor."

The Taoist priest took Dao Jian, nodded and said, "well, the good words have been said, but your Majesty was stubborn and had to change the emperor."

Yanfeng emperor looked around and saw an old Taoist, an old monk, a poor master and others coming from all directions, surrounded them in the center, and the number was much more than the eight of them.

General Tiance and others' faces changed greatly.

Emperor Yanfeng was stunned and said with a smile, "Tathagata, Taoist Lord, I thought you would talk about the rules of the Jianghu, but I didn't expect you to come to the court to follow the rules."

The Tathagata shook his head and said, "if you have to, please forgive me. Taoist Lord, all Taoist friends, let's send your Majesty on the road."
