Northern Dynasties

Chapter 349 Dharma Prosperity
Slander is all slander, Li Tai is always reluctant to imitate Dugu Xin, and generally puts Yifeng and his party aside and ignores them.

He led the group back to the Weizhou camp with the others, and at the same time ordered his subordinates to arrange the camp, and at the urging of Yifeng, he bravely reported the situation to the central army camp.

In the big tent, Dugu, who was sitting at the table, was no longer angry, but his expression was somewhat lonely. Seeing Li Taixing come in, he managed to pull himself together and asked, "Is Yijingfu outside the tent?"

After Li Tai heard the words, he nodded and said, "Duke Leling didn't have time to change his luggage, and he repeatedly stated that he hoped to see his father-in-law as soon as possible."

"Then let him wait!"

Dugu Xin snorted coldly again: "If the middle school feels that my power is difficult to put down the chaos in Liangzhou alone, they can directly send people to replace me! The order was ordered to stop my troops from waiting here for ten days, and the result was only weak. It's really..."

Hearing Duguxin's complaints, Li Tai couldn't help but secretly sighed. To be honest, he also felt that Yu Wentai's behavior was a bit careless this time.

Not to mention that the reorganization of the Sixth Army in the Baishui Grand Parade last year was already very effective, and the embarrassment of lack of available troops in the past few years was no longer there. Even Yifeng's own troops would not be so shabby.

From the beginning of the preparations for this battle, the Bafu has been emphasizing that it is necessary to wait for Yifeng and other Guanzhong troops to arrive before the army can march westward.As a result, the number of troops sent in the end was only so large, so what impact and significance would the arrival of this team have on the victory or defeat of this battle?

Or is this group of people here to join the war, or to supervise the Longyou armies under Dugu Xin's command?In the eyes of the Tyrant Mansion, the real hidden danger in Longyou is the generals in Longyou headed by Duguxin, or Yuwen Zhonghe of Liangzhou who has already rebelled?

Even if Yu Wentai can't completely trust Dugu Xin, but it is not without expressive ways, but today it seems that he wants to put some issues on the bright side, which is also a big shake to Dugu Xin's personal authority .

Li Tai felt that Yu Wentai did not pay much attention to what he did. He used small actions to shake the authority of the army commander on the eve of the war, which could even be said to be a bit stupid, and regarded the war here as a trifling matter.

But this is also due to his position and perspective. He feels that Yuwen Zhonghe is a rebel, while Duguxin is a prince who counteracts the rebellion.But in Yu Wentai's eyes, is this really the case?
As early as the ninth year of Datong, Yuwentai once wanted to replace Duguxin with some benefits as the governor of Qinzhou.Although it was not implemented in the end, it also showed that after Yu Wentai's defeat at Mangshan, his power was greatly damaged. In his mind, he felt that Shuhui, who fought bravely in the Battle of Mangshan, was more trustworthy than Duguxin.

From this, a perspective is derived, that is, is Yuwen Zhonghe determined to be rebellious, or is Duguxin deliberately forced to rebel in order to consolidate his position in Longyou?In other words, if Duguxin fails to put down the rebellion and is defeated by Yuwen Zhonghe, is it possible for Naha Mansion to use other means to make Yuwen Zhonghe surrender again?
If this line of thinking holds true, then whether the Liangzhou rebellion can be put down smoothly is not a problem of the Bafu, but a problem of Duguxin.If he wins, it will naturally prove that the management in Longyou in the past few years has been very effective.Even if they are invincible, the Overlord can still seek other means to solve the problem, even including sacrificing Duguxin's status.

The arrival of Yifeng's several thousand weak people also showed that Bafu actually did not intend to be sure about the outcome of the battle of Liangzhou.Rather than saying that he came to help the war, it was better to say that he was adding firewood, and the one who was to be baked was Dugu Xin.

Li Tai's thinking like this may seem too malicious, and his imagination of the relationship between Wu Chuan's tyrants is too negative, but if these guys are really affectionate and intimate with each other, then it is really too magical.

"The army was hanging here in vain before, and too much time has been wasted. But now we can only travel day and night, and arrive in Liangzhou as soon as possible, in order to make a quick decision!"

After a moment of silence, Dugu Xin raised his head and said to Li Tai: "Although I am very sure to overcome this chaos, there will inevitably be twists and turns in the process. Now that the middle school is... so, especially if the road ahead is stable and worry-free, we need Entrust Boshan."

After Li Tai heard the words, he nodded and said: "My father-in-law, please rest assured, I will stick to the situation in the state, and will never allow wavering to breed, so that my father-in-law will triumphantly return."

Hearing this confident answer, Duguxin cheered up, stood up and patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said, "Let my son-in-law, Weng, work together to make this area of ​​Longyou as firm as a rock! If you are alone in the past, or It is unavoidable that my mind will be hesitant, but now that Boshan is keeping the back road for me, I don't have to worry about it!"

After talking with Li Tai and feeling relieved, Duguxin finally meets Yifeng.After all, no matter what the country's true intentions are, the current war is still going on in the name of countering the rebellion, and ensuring the stability of Longyou is also the overall situation that Duguxin needs to abide by.

Li Tai did not observe the conversation between Dugu Xin and Yifeng, but when the army pledged to march out the next day, seeing Dugu Xin mobilizing the soldiers with a serious and passionate face, he couldn't help it. Feeling that Yu Wentai has understood how to play with the bulls and horses, even if he told Dugu Xin clearly that I am worried about you, but you Dugu Xin still have to put the overall situation first and run for me.

As the army set off to the west, Li Tai did not continue to stay here, and returned to Shangfeng City to sit in town with his cronies.

After the army moved westward, the military affairs that needed to be handled by the left-behind personnel in the state capital also decreased suddenly. On the contrary, because of the arrival of spring plowing, the number of various livelihood matters surged.

Today's Longyou is not as densely populated as Guanzhong, so the conflicts between people and land are not sharp.However, since a large number of local assets are in the hands of powerful families and temples, once any disputes arise, it will become a big trouble.

For example, the struggle between the Li and Quan families that lasted for several years is also a representative event of the conflicts between the strong and powerful locals here. There are also many similar things, and some disputes are even deeper than the Li and Quan families. It is also more extensive, even Li Tai dare not easily provoke touch.

Because the previous resolution of the dispute between Li and Quan was highly praised by the village, Li Tai's reputation quickly spread in the village.In addition, he previously announced to the public that the state capital would widely accept civil lawsuits, so the number of lawsuits accepted by the state capital also increased sharply during this period.

When Li Tai returned from Weizhou, the case files sorted out by the state government had already filled several large boxes, and the state officials who were in charge of handling these matters also looked at Li Tai helplessly.

It took Li Tai two full days to go through all the files related to the lawsuits that were accepted recently.After reading it, I have mixed feelings. On the one hand, I have a more detailed and comprehensive understanding of the human conditions in the Longyou area in the Middle Ages. He's here to break the news.

These files can be roughly divided into several categories such as ethics, economy, religion, etc. Some of them are relatively simple oppression by power and rarely fair, while some cases are more complicated and involve many elements and disputes.

Li Tai knew that his old father-in-law, Dugu Xin, was in an embarrassment of internal and external troubles, so he didn't plan to cause troubles before the end of the Battle of Liangzhou. For some cases that involved a wide range of cases that could greatly shake the order of the village, he temporarily I don't plan to deal with it, but just settle some relatively simple lawsuits first.

Another feature of these files is that there are many people involved with temples or monks, and almost half of the files are involved with monks.

This aspect shows that Buddhism is indeed prosperous in Longyou, and monks are widely involved in all aspects of the lives of people of all classes.On the other hand, it also shows that the good and the bad of the Longyou Shamen are mixed, and there are many mud and sand, so that many believers who have been sincerely worshiping the Buddha for generations can't stand the oppression and exploitation of the Sangha, so they beg the government to uphold justice for them.

One of the more typical cases was that a family accused Cao Weina, a monk in the county, of illegally registering his family as a monastery, so that his family would be burdened with the double oppression of monk households and support households for a long time.

Vina is the title of the monk official who manages various matters such as money and food in the temples in the state and county. It is usually held by monks, and is elected by some temples with a certain scale in the territory every once in a while.

The monk household is a registered household belonging to the temple. It has to donate monk millet to the temple and undertake various labor services assigned by the temple. In fact, they are monk slave households belonging to the temple.

After the temple received the Sangye millet donated by the monk households, in addition to satisfying part of the temple's own consumption, it also assumed another social responsibility, that is, to lend in times of disaster and take back in years of good harvest, and to take a place where the Dharma is boundless and universal. The meaning of helping the world.Of course, this is a nice way of saying it, but it is actually usury.

Of course, those who accept temple usury are not ordinary people, and these people are called support households.They accept the loan from the temple, and then add a part of the interest return, so that the temple can make long-term profits.

Therefore, the support households often need to have a certain family background. Otherwise, if they eat the corn they borrowed and still can’t pay for it, and the self-raised corn is white and fat, but the Buddhas have no rice to cook, it will be really staring.

The identities of monk households and support households are different, and their economic conditions are also different. In a word, it is through their own efforts to make Buddhism flourish.

However, it is a bit strange that a family belongs to both the monk household and the support household at the same time.Because Sanggyo is a temple slave, everything you own is mine, but you still have to pay interest to support me.This is really, he can obviously grab...

According to the records in the dossier, this resentful family is not an ordinary family, but a family from the Tianshui Yan family, which is why they are able to endure so many years of double exploitation and are still out of breath.

At the same time, it also shows the great power of Longyou Shamen, no matter what kind of powerful family you are, as long as the Buddhas take a fancy to your family business, they will still push you to the ground and strip you off!
