Chapter 1074

Listening to the familiar local accent and the familiar sound of peddling, the hopeless master showed a smile on his face like an old monk.

Twenty years away from Beijing, I didn't expect the suburbs of Beijing to be so busy.

"Master, after this toll gate, walk a few more miles, you will reach the foot of the capital."

The little monk who served the daily life all the way opened half of the window.

The hopeless master glanced out of the window of the car, looking at the busy street scene, his mouth slightly cocked up.

"It's said that the toll gate nearest to the capital will be congested every day. Settle down today. Will your majesty summon the master tomorrow? "

Master hopeless was silent.

From Xiliang to the capital of Dazhou, thousands of miles away, he was silent most of the way.

He is old and has been on the road for decades. He has many diseases. Xuanqing Taoist priest prescribed medicine for him, but he was not so aging.

His body knows that he is ready to die in Xiliang.

However, his majesty summoned him back to Beijing by an imperial edict.

After 20 years away from Beijing, I went back to my dream place again. I was hopeless and calm.

It's just a smile on the corner of my mouth.

Pass the toll station smoothly and walk slowly on the spacious official road.

"This section of the official road was expanded last year, adding four more carriageway and pedestrian passage. The road is really smooth. "

"The road has doubled, and the carriage is still so slow. I can't imagine what it would have to be like before the road was widened. "

"There were many shacks and thatched houses on both sides of the road, where many local villagers lived. Road expansion, all demolished, rebuilt and planned houses, all changed into two-story, three-story Master, look, there's a four story Inn in front of you, and you've got glass windows. It's very generous. "

"It's said that the glaze in the south is getting better and better. The glass that was fired before is opaque and has various impurities. In the last year or two, there are few magazines burning out of the glass. I heard that the rich families in the capital city have refitted their glass windows. Anyone who doesn't have one or two transparent glass windows is embarrassed to entertain guests. "

" with more and more glazed windows, the business of the cloth shop is getting better. Many people have added curtains and all kinds of patterns. Master, look at the curtain of that inn. It's the most popular style in Beijing this year. It's called Lady watching the moon. "

"It's a tavern with glazed windows and beautiful ladies looking at the moon. It's really rich. I'm afraid the owner behind him has a lot of future. "

The hopeless master was smiling and listening to the little monk's mouth talking.

He doesn't have to open his mouth to ask, he has learned enough information.

The little monk is obviously a chatterbox.

I'm afraid I can't sit still. It's a good idea to be a monk.

If you are not willing to become a monk, you can return to the secular world and marry a wife.

The carriage entered the capital before dark.

In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the trade was developed and the commercial routes were smooth. With the assistance of Sanhe express, the goods were in rapid circulation. The closing time of the capital city gate was half an hour later than the time set by the ancestors.

Don't underestimate half an hour.

If the city gate is delayed for half an hour, the peddlers will have more business for half an hour.

Big merchants and merchants also had more opportunities, and the night market in Beijing took advantage of the situation.

In the evening, one more place to go is one more place to spend money.

The stalls in the night market have been rising and rising, but they still can't stop the enthusiasm of the merchants.

In the past, I could only do business during the day and earn money during the day.

If the gate is closed for half an hour at night, you can earn money at night.

This is the carnival of businessmen.

It is also the source of inspiration for writers. It is the so-called beauty under the lamp, the more you see the more beautiful.

The atmosphere of Beijing is becoming more and more open and inclusive, and there is a faint trend to catch up with and surpass Jiangnan.

The girl's family can also walk out of the house in a big way, unlike in the past, when the door is not two doors away.

To say the biggest feeling, there are many foreign visitors on the streets of Beijing.

Qin Lou Chu Guan also launched the project of Hu Ji dancer to attract merchants.

Foreign visitors are very careful when they are in the capital.

Once they are caught by Xiuyi guards, the light ones will be punished with different amounts of gold and silver, and the heavy ones will be expelled from the country and registered on the blacklist of the major checkpoints.

Once on the blacklist, I will never enter the territory of Dazhou in my life.

Most of the former foreign visitors came from the western regions.

Now there are more Siamese, poisons, and native savages.

These Aboriginal savages are slaves.

Although the court did not openly object to the good people selling themselves as slaves.

However, judging from the attitude of the court in the last two or three years, the government has imposed heavy sentences on all cases of forcing good men into slaves.

Even if the local government makes a light sentence, the inspector general will reject it.

Once the Ministry of criminal justice intervenes in such cases, it is a heavy sentence without exception.There is no shortage of wise men in the world.

The Ministry of punishment, patrolling and inspecting the imperial censor, severely sentenced, set by set. It is clearly a set of combination boxing, all of which are the routine of the imperial court.

The information revealed is thought-provoking.

As a result, smart people quickly responded and started the foreign trade in population.

The reason why smart people are smart people is that they are three or five steps faster than others.

Do not underestimate these three or five steps, the accumulated wealth, is terrible.

How many people are relying on these three or five steps to become a powerful businessman.

The court cracked down on forcing good people into slaves, but it did not restrict the foreign trade in population.

When they pass the customs, the attitude of the customs is to turn a blind eye and double the tax.

The attitude of the Customs has already explained the attitude of the court.

Overseas, whatever you like. Nobody cares.

But in big week, you have to obey the rules.

If anyone dares to harm his own people, don't blame the government for doing business.

Businessmen are very clever. We will never harm our own people. We specialize in killing the barbarians.

We can't force Liang to be a slave, and the scale of Yashi is also shrinking. However, there is a lack of servants in the government.

What to do?

What businessmen do is to meet the needs.

It's easy to want a servant!

Barbarian slaves, fair price, arbitrary command, a cent of the goods.

As a result, the dental market expanded and the source of population diversified.

The government, the customs, the merchants and the rich families were all very happy.

……

The hopeless master settled down in a small temple in the city, waiting for the emperor's call.

The Xiangguo Temple learned that he had returned to Beijing, and had cleared up the quiet room behind the mountain to welcome him to settle in at any time.

The little monk asked, "master, are you going to Xiangguo Temple? The vegetarian room in Xiangguo Temple is excellent. "

Hopelessly, he asked with a smile, "do you like the vegetarian studio in Xiangguo Temple?"

"Yes! The food in Xiliang is quite different from that in Beijing. I didn't eat well in Xiliang all the time. I was thinking about the vegetarian studio in Xiangguo Temple all the way. "

"Tomorrow, you will go to the Xiangguo Temple to eat vegetarian food."

The little monk waved again and again, "no way. If you don't go to Xiangguo Temple, I'm a little monk. How can I get to the vegetarian studio of Xiangguo Temple? "

No hope, no words with a smile.

The little monk was a little flustered and worried that he had said something wrong.

However, he was a big hearted man, worried about less than half a column of incense time, and began to talk incessantly.

I have no hope to listen to the little monk. My mind has been drifting to the far horizon.

On the third day of his arrival in Beijing, Emperor Liu Zhao summoned him.

The content of the conversation revolves around Xiliang.

There's no hope. Report everything in detail.

He has been in Xiliang for 20 years, and he is worthy of saying that he is a master of the western regions.

After asking about the matter, Liu Zhao talked about the reason why he called him back to Beijing. "The Empress Dowager is not in good health. I have heard that the master's Buddhism is profound. I call you back to Beijing to pray for the Empress Dowager's blessing."

"After a lifetime of traveling, I can return to my hometown when I am old. I appreciate your Majesty's love."

"If only you could think so!"

Liu Zhao sent people to Weiyang palace to ask empress dowager Pei whether to meet Master hopeless now.

The Chamberlain who inquired soon returned.

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager said it was inconvenient today. If you want to ask the hopeless master where to place the bill, the Empress Dowager wants to live in the temple for a few days and talk about Buddhism with the master

Empress Dowager Pei wants a palace?

Liu Zhaowei frowned, and in a twinkling of an eye he spread out.

Empress Dowager Pei thought of a palace, as she wanted.

When you are old, you can do whatever you want.

Since the Empress Dowager Pei lived in the palace, she seldom had a chance to leave the palace.

The palace seems very large, but for those who have lived for ten or twenty years, it is very small.

Small as a cage.

To be able to walk outside the palace and to experience the profound Buddhist dharma in temples is a kind of relaxation.

"Master, do you have a place to order a bill?"

"Amitabha Master Wuwang sang the name of Buddha first, and then said, "I plan to go to Xiangguo Temple to pay a bill."

"Very well! Lin Shuping, send someone to Xiangguo Temple to prepare. In a few days, let Duan Jun Wang accompany the Empress Dowager to go to Xiangguo Temple. "

"Yes, old slave!"

……

From the palace to the palace.

"The empress asked the master to go to Chang'an palace for tea. The mountain spring water from Yuxiu mountain this morning is the most suitable for cooking tea. "

"Hopeless mouth with a smile," 20 years away from Beijing, the poor monk also have some words to say with his mother. "

To Chang'an palace, no hope to be invited into the tea room.

A short table, a red mud stove, teapot, teacup, all kinds of tea sets, everything.

"I haven't drunk the tea cooked by the master himself for a long time. Do you have this honor today?"Gu Jiu sat down on the ground, greeting no hope of taking a seat.

"Hopeless with a smile," I still remember the last time I asked my wife to drink tea, or in the backyard tea room. "

"What happened many years ago, the master remembers very clearly."

Hopelessly controlling the fire, soon the mountain spring bubbled.

He picked up the kettle and began to brew.

The movement is flowing.

first bubble down, second bubbles is the essence.

White porcelain tea cup, translucent, a look to know the value.

He has long fingers and a teacup in front of Gu Jiu.

Gu Jiu picks up the cup, blows gently and drinks it all.

"The same tea, brewed by the master, is really extraordinary."

"My mother's praise! I'm not as good at making tea as I used to be. "

"In Xiliang, did you have a shortage of tea?"

"There was no shortage. It's just that I'm too busy. I often take a drink. Just like today, I choose a tea room to have tea and talk, so I don't have many opportunities. "

"All these years, master! Go back to the capital, you will have a good rest. "

"Thank you for your concern! The poor monk also plans to close down and meditate after this period of time. "

"Master ready to close down?"

"Exactly

"Let's talk about Xi Liang first."
