Sticks were flying in front of the main hall. Zhu Su's royal guards were only half-grown teenagers. How could they be afraid of gods and Buddhas if the world was not afraid of them? Yao Guangxiao was directly placed in front of the hall and the execution began. Fifty military sticks were beaten down and beaten with sticks.
The sound of meat made Zhu Su turn his head and couldn't bear to look at it. Yao Guangxiao only clasped his hands and chanted Buddhist scriptures in a low voice. He showed no resistance when being hit with fifty military sticks. He let the sticks come on and frowned slightly, without even making a sound of pain.
Pass.
"What a tough monk!" Even Li Jinglong was a little impressed.
"There's something." Zhu Su couldn't help but be a little shocked. People say that those who commit great evil must be wise and courageous. Looking at Yao Guangxiao, you can tell that this statement is true. "Monk, do you regret provoking me?"
"Amitabha. This young monk deserves to be punished for offending His Highness. It is better to say that after receiving this punishment, this young monk can fulfill his wish to serve as an official for Your Highness. The young monk should also thank His Highness for his bodhisattva-heartedness." Yao Guangxiao clasped his hands together and bowed slowly, his face
He had regained his sense of neither humility nor arrogance, nor joy nor sorrow, but the sound of blood dripping from the wound on the bluestone sounded particularly clear to Zhu Su's ears.
Crazy, everyone is crazy. Being a groom is obviously humiliating, how can it be called an official career? After being beaten with fifty military sticks, he still managed to stand up and salute like a normal person just to pretend to be a boy. Zhu Su wanted to ask
Is it worth it?
If it were me, if someone dared to hit me with a military stick, I would definitely hate him until his teeth itch. Is this demon monk still thanking me?
"...Go down the mountain and return to the village!"
There were so many people when they came, but when they left, there was one more person. When carrying the belongings that the fat abbot had saved over the years down the mountain, Li Jinglong took the fat abbot's hand and said that he would come to visit next time. The fat abbot was obviously bleeding, but he was still crowded.
He smiled and said welcome to come often, but it is not clear how Zhu Su cursed this group of bandits in his heart.
Although Yao Guangxiao was able to stand up, it was obviously much more difficult to go down the mountain. He barely took two steps. The two Wu Wangwei couldn't bear it and saw that Zhu Su didn't stop him, so they carried him down the mountain. Yao Guangxiao thanked him.
Feeling at ease being held up by the two Wu Wangwei, Zhu Su didn't know whether the conspirator was sincerely grateful or just a casual polite word.
You must keep a close eye on this guy. So tight that if you want to kill him, you can easily kill him.
After coming down the mountain, Xiang Deng and Li Wenzhong were waiting by the mountain road. Li Wenzhong saw the twenty King Wu guards wearing helmets and armor going up and down the mountain without any signs of fatigue, and nodded with great satisfaction. When he saw Yao Guangxiao being carried down the mountain, he just thought
It was Zhu Su who taught a monk in the temple a lesson, and he didn't bother to ask more questions. The descendants of the old Zhu family, not only taught a monk a lesson, but even set fire to the entire Naiao Temple, it was not a big deal.
The so-called good people are those who are not close to the monks. There are a few good monks who pretend to be gods and ghosts. The only best monk in the world has long since returned to the secular world. After he returned to the secular world, all that is left in the pure land of Buddhism are flies and dogs.
generation.
Xiangdeng even burst into laughter looking at the boxes and boxes being carried down the mountain. He didn't expect that the temple's one-time rent would be worth so many things. With so much money, he thought he could last for a few more days.
Of course, these silver coins were not used to sit back and forth. Zhu Su did not put the money into the treasury. Instead, he used the money to hire craftsmen to build several new furnaces. He also called Li Wenzhong and said, "Brother Bao'er has something to do."
I also need your help. Can you help me find some trustworthy veterans to settle here? I also ask them to bring their families to settle here. The land here is vast and sparsely populated, and they can cultivate it to their heart's content. I will not charge any money for rent.
"
"Veteran? What do you want those people for? Most of these people are disabled and useless. You have already resettled many orphans in the army and the farm has a lot of turnover. If you want to take no money from them, isn't this a piece of meat?
?I can't do this." Li Wenzhong shook his head.
"Brother Bao'er is wrong. Everyone in the world thinks that those disabled veterans are useless and disgusting, but they don't know that to me they are the most respectable and lovely people in the world. Many of them can only sit back and have nothing with the rewards of being discharged from the army.
I don’t know what will happen in the future, why not come to me and I can find a way for them to survive.”
"Besides, I am timid. There are such a group of soldiers who are loyal to the Ming Dynasty and have shed their blood for the Ming Dynasty. They can sleep peacefully at night here. We also need to recruit refugees here. Instead of letting them go to outsiders, it is better to recruit those wounded soldiers and military households for turnover.
Don’t worry, Zhuangzi will soon have a lot of gold and silver in his account.”
Li Wenzhong couldn't help but be deeply moved by Zhu Su's words. His biggest worry during the Northern Expedition was that even though he risked his life, he could not end the Northern Yuan Dynasty in one fell swoop and find a wife and son for his brothers. The court believed that
This expedition was fruitless, and there were no ordinary silver rewards. This resulted in some brothers who fought desperately but had to withdraw from the army due to injuries. After going through life and death, they could not even get enough money to protect the rest of their lives.
Many of them were seriously disabled and unable to farm. Since they were discharged from the army and returned home, they could only rely on the money from Weibo to live in vain. The good men who fought for the country met such an end. Li Wenzhong sometimes felt guilty when he thought about it.
Couldn't sleep at night.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Su also cared about these people, and Li Wenzhong was greatly moved. In his eyes, this short brother was now a responsible adult. He laughed: "Okay, in that case
, I will summon the wounded soldiers for you."
"I think they will be happier to be together with the former Pao Ze. It is better than staying in their own wards and slowly rotting away. You brought them here. Is there any way to get them to help make money?"
"Nothing can be hidden from Brother Bao'er." Zhu Su calmly flattered him first. "Yes, I do have some skills here that I can teach these veterans. Let them have new skills to support their families, and also
Add some income to Zhuangzi."
"Oh?" Li Wenzhong asked curiously. "What new ideas do you have? After building these kilns and settling the injured soldiers and their families who have moved here, the money in the village will be exhausted. Even if you want to burn some
If you sell things, you won’t have enough money to buy raw materials. By the way, what are you going to burn?”
"As for the raw materials... aren't they here?" Zhu Su knelt down and grabbed a handful of sand. The fine sand quickly flew away with the wind as he opened his palm. Li Wenzhong looked confused: "The raw materials? Where are they? You
Could it be that you are talking about sand?"
"Brother Bao'er, I have a big business that is about to be launched here. I wonder if Brother Bao'er would be interested in taking a share and adding an extra income to the Duke Cao's government?" Zhu Su chuckled.
