Chapter 1171 Four Hundred Eighty Temples

Watching the soldiers go away, Uncle Wu shook his head. At this moment, a person rushed over from the door and said, "Uncle Wu, where are the soldiers? Where are the people?"

"My lord, he's gone."

"Gone? Why did you let him go!"

"Master, didn't you say that I should tell him that you are not at home?"

"Oh, I'm in trouble!" the man said, patting his forehead.

When eating at noon, the man sat on the table, and the wife next to him held the food for him, but the man held the chopsticks and did not move for a long time

"Master, why are you restless!"

The man gently placed the chopsticks on the table, sighed and said, "I don't know, but I always feel that my eyebrows are beating, and I feel that something big is about to happen!"

The woman next to him said softly: "Master, don't worry, you are a lucky person with a natural appearance, and you will definitely get through it safely. Maybe it may be because of your poor diet recently. I will ask the small kitchen to change some delicious dishes later."

But this old man was worried, shook his head and said: "I always feel restless, why don't we go to the temple next to Qiantang to offer a stick of incense, maybe the abbot there can give me some advice."

Jingci Temple in Qiantang County.

"Looking at the big Buddha in front of him, this old man feels much more at ease.

The abbot clasped his hands together and said, "Lady Cao frowned, I don't know what's going on this time?"

Looking at the benevolent old monk in front of him, the man sighed and said, "Abbot, these past few days, I've been depressed, and I always feel that something big is going to happen!"

The abbot of Jingci Temple sighed, and said: "Amitabha, laymen should know that things come from the heart, and there may be some things that cannot be done."

Layman Cao nodded, and continued to answer: "Now I have something stuck in my throat, and I can't vomit it quickly, and I even point out the maze to the master!"

"Let's ask Layman Cao to clarify!"

"The rebel army fought against the Yuan army on both sides of the Yellow River in the Jianghuai area, and now they send envoys to Qiantang and other places to raise food and grass, but I rejected the rebel army envoys a few days ago."

When the abbot heard this, his heart suddenly tightened.

"Could it be that the leader of the beggar gang's rebel army, Ying Wugou!"

"It's this man!"

"Amitabha, this person is cruel by nature, domineering and ruthless, and he is not a wise master. There is nothing wrong with what layman Cao did, but we still need to beware of villains' schemes."

"Master Xie for your guidance, I understand now!"

In the camp of Wu'an City.

With a snap, Zeng Yunfeng threw the booklet on the table, "You mean people like Qiantang don't follow orders and refuse to sell grain and grass."

The envoy nodded and said, "I report to the leader, that's how it is."

Zeng Yunfeng snorted coldly, and said: "Hmph, it's really embarrassing to them. Zhang Shicheng was ordered to enter Qiantang, and all the people on the list were arrested and imprisoned. I want to see who is behind them."

"In addition, pass it on to Bai Ziyang, I want to know how many temples are behind the scenes!"

"How many temples in Gaoyou, Yangzhou Pingjiang and other places do not want to serve the Buddha but interfere in military and political affairs without authorization."

"The four hundred and eighty temples in the Southern Dynasty, how many towers are in the mist and rain. Hmph, I don't know how many monks don't want to be monks now." Zeng Yunfeng said, the cold light sword splashing in his eyes.

He really didn't expect that these monks would have the guts to stir up trouble behind their backs when the rebel army was fighting on the front line.

Zeng Yunfeng stood up, paced back and forth behind the table, then stopped suddenly, looked at the spider in front of him and said: "Here, the disciples of the Blood Refining Hall, the disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall, and the disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall will go down to investigate whether the temples in the south of the Yangtze River have invaded. How many acres of land have been acquired, and how many acres of land were given to them by the Yuan Dynasty?"

"After clearing all these lands, report them to me!"

"Yes!" Zhu'er promised from the side.

She knew that Ying Wugou really had murderous intentions this time, and these monks really didn't know what to do, what time was it, and they were still making such small moves later.

After seeing the spider go away, Zeng Yunfeng subconsciously touched the Star Iron Token on his waist.

He really didn't want to conflict with these Buddhism and Taoism, especially these religions that have taken root in the Central Plains and even penetrated into the core of culture.

But Zeng Yunfeng absolutely cannot allow them to override the political power and military power, Ming religion is no exception, let alone Buddhism.

At the beginning of a country's establishment, the most important thing is to share the acres, check the population, resume production, and adjust the economy.

This series of things is related to people, and Buddhism has been given a lot of land by the high-ranking nobles of the Yuan Dynasty over the years, and the royal family has endorsed them.

Now they don't do production, but they have a large area of ​​land, and some temples even have maidservants, and this time Zeng Yunfeng fought the Mongols under Wu'an City, they actually dragged their feet behind their backs, this is Zeng Yunfeng absolutely cannot allow and cannot forgive of.

Shaolin still understands current affairs, and knows to close the mountain gate immediately and not compete with him. However, these temples in the south of the Yangtze River are still full of incense, and there are countless believers in men and women. Powerful, this is absolutely absolutely intolerable to Zeng Yunfeng.

It seems that some things have to be put on the agenda as soon as possible, otherwise these things will become their stumbling block sooner or later.

After the spider went to deliver the order, she came back quickly, glanced at Zeng Yunfeng and said, "Master, you really want to send Zhang Shicheng south!"

"Hmph!" Zeng Yunfeng said with a sneer: "These bald donkeys really thought I was short-tempered, and they negotiated with them, but they thought I was weak. Well, let Zhang Shicheng deal with them."

"Land in the south of the Yangtze River, since these people don't want to live a good life, why don't I let them know that good life is hard to come by?"

"Zhang Shicheng started his business by selling salt. He is most interested in profit. You can see what he will do to these wealthy businessmen after he goes to Jiangnan."

Zhu'er shook his head and said: "It goes without saying, it must be exploiting wantonly, forcing people to ruin their lives!"

"I just want Zhang Shicheng to do this. These local tyrants don't know what is good or bad. Zhang Shicheng himself was born in Yanhu and knows the sufferings of the people. He must regard these people as enemies. If these people are in his hands, there will be no good results. "

"Let them make a fuss, and let these wealthy households in Jiangnan know what things can be moved and what things must not be moved. It seems that after some peaceful days, these people no longer know whose hand the knife is in!"

Gaoyou, in Zhang Shicheng's tent.

Zhang Shicheng looked at the letter in front of him, and then saw the messenger in front of him and said, "You mean the leader asked me to cross the river south to attack Qiantang!"

"Yes, the leader said so."

Zhang Shicheng pondered for a while, and said: "Okay, go back and tell the leader that I, Zhang Shicheng, will raise troops in three days, but please pay more attention to the land of Gaoyou."
