The only qi trainer

Time flies, and it is another autumn. The autumn wind is cool and the cool breeze is blowing. This is a golden autumn.

Although the farmers were excited about carrying the grain, they were more reluctant to part with it. As more money and grain were collected from the big households, the bureaucrats of these big households became cruel and passed on the extra money and grain to the farmers. Humans suffer from this.

Coupled with the conversion of farmland to mulberry fields, less grain output and higher food prices, it stands to reason that farmers should be happy when food prices have risen.

But because there are too many taxes being apportioned, after paying the taxes, there is not enough food to eat. How can they enjoy the benefits of rising food prices? Instead, they have suffered!

It is necessary to use a higher price to buy the shortage of rations. For this reason, they dare not rest in winter, and work harder than in previous years to dredge rivers and other hard labor.

"After the grain is harvested, it will be winter again soon!"

A middle-aged man said to the old man beside him with a bitter face.

After the autumn harvest this time, someone will come to urge the grain and rice immediately, and it is estimated that there will only be three floors left!Maybe not even three floors!

This is bound to require people to work in the water in winter!

"Last winter, when dredging the canal for the Zhang family, Li Ergou fell into the water and drowned, and Brother Lin, who caught wind and cold, couldn't get sick when he went back. He died of illness in the beginning of this year... I don't know if he can survive Next year!"

The middle-aged man was carrying food, sweating profusely from the heat, but when he thought of the pain in winter, he felt chills in his heart.

The old man next to him heard the middle-aged man's words, the flesh at the corner of his mouth trembled, and his heart was not calm.

"Last winter, Immortal Master Bailian appeared in Xinyang County next door and healed and saved people. Many Guizhou heads were treated. I don't know if they will come to Lingjiang this year."

well! ………

"Immortal Master Bailian? Interesting! Interesting!"

Li Yuanying, who was walking in front, listened to the conversation behind, and keenly grasped the word "immortal master". After all, Bailian and immortal master, this is the rhythm of making troubles!

Eventful season!

But no matter how troublesome it is, it's not on my own head. As long as I stay on the mountain and stay in the temple, I can live in peace.

Now Li Yuanying is getting more and more sleepy, he only wants to sleep in his mind, and has no idea of ​​galloping around the world with angry horses in fresh clothes. Although he can see the suffering of many ordinary people every time he goes down the mountain, he is just feeling emotional. A few drops of horse urine passed away.

Rescuing the suffering, re-creating the universe and so on, it is not my turn to fight for others, this is not in line with Li Yuanying's way of life at all!

It's better to fall asleep with the quilt rolled up!

Back at Qingyang Temple, Li Yuanying hung the winter clothes he bought, a white fur coat, on the hanger.

Li Rong is getting taller now, a full head taller than Li Yuanying. The cotton coats she used to wear are long gone. This time, she specially bought a fur coat for Li Rong as a winter coat.

In the evening, Li Rong returned home and saw Li Yuanying lying on the bed, so she went back to her room.

As soon as he arrived at his boudoir, he saw the fur coat hanging on the hanger and exclaimed.

beautiful!

The snow-white fur coat has no variegated colors. Li Rong can clearly see this fur coat, it must be bought for herself!

Knowing that Li Yuanying was still sleeping, Li Rong wasn't too polite, she put on the fur coat directly, she didn't think it was too hot, walked around the courtyard, went to the water tank to intoxicate herself for a while, waited until the heat was fragrant and dripping with sweat , so he had no choice but to take off the fur coat, and reluctantly hung it up on the hanger again.

When will winter come!

Looking at the fur coat, Li Rong looked forward to the cold winter for the first time.

In a blink of an eye, another three months have passed, and it has already entered winter.

It's a pity that the weather in the south is hot. Even in winter, there are only a few short days when it is relatively cold. There are only a handful of opportunities for Li Rong to wear fur coats.

……

"Teacher, will Qingyang Temple listen to us?"

A young Taoist priest asked the old Taoist priest beside him.

"I don't know, just follow the destiny and do what you can! It's up to you!"

The old Taoist spoke slowly, his eyes were in a trance, and he didn't know whether it was right or wrong.

The two handed over mountain worship stickers to the Taoist priests guarding the mountain at Qingyangguan, and waited quietly.

In Qingyang Temple

"Teacher, two Taoists have come down from the mountain, this is their mountain worship post!"

The Taoist priest guarding the mountain respectfully handed over the worship sticker.

Taoist Hunyang, the head teacher of Qingyang Temple, is still the same as usual, comprehending the Taoist scriptures, seeing the disciples guarding the mountain handing over the worship stickers, he feels suspicious.

The mountain worship post is a very official document, and only two forces will engage in this kind of thing, just like the diplomacy between the two countries, most people don't need the mountain worship post at all.

Taoist Hunyang opened the mountain worship post, and saw that there was only one word of Tao written on the document, but in the eyes of Taoist Hunyang, this word seemed to have a kind of magical power, occupying the whole mind, and even a Taoist priest appeared in his mind The figure is saluting.

"Real!"

Taoist Hunyang quickly came back to his senses, and said solemnly.

"Go ask your uncle to come over, tell him that there is a real person visiting, and then go down the mountain to meet him."

Only a real person can compete with a real person. No matter how many ordinary people come, it will only add casualties.

Taoist Hunyang is not a real person. If he is lost in the face of a real person and makes an irreversible decision, it will be a tragedy.

Soon, the Taoist priest who guarded the mountain returned, and the two were invited to go up the mountain. Without talking all the way, they went straight to the palace of Qingyang Temple.

In the palace, Taoist Hunyang Taoist and Wang Laodao stood up to welcome the two Taoists.

For nothing else, the old Taoist priest is a real person, so he must go to meet him.

When the two sides meet and greet each other!

"White Lotus Sect!"

Hunyang Taoist and Wang Laodao's eyes flashed, and they didn't understand the meaning of Bailian Taoist's coming here.

But it's not easy to drive away, the person who comes is a guest, even if the other party is the White Lotus Sect, the White Lotus Sect whose career is rebellion.

Because the White Lotus Sect was not tolerated by Da Xia, Taoist Hunyang dared not leave these two in the hall to discuss.

When the White Lotus Sect visits, what they talk about must be related to the rebellion!

In the secret room of the Jingshe, Taoist Hunyang, the head teacher of Qingyangguan, Wang Laodao, and the old Taoist sat opposite each other. After the three of them greeted each other, they began to discuss business.

"Fellow Daoist, I understand the purpose of coming here, but competing in the world is really not what I want in Qingyang Temple!"

Taoist Hunyang didn't wait for Taoist Bailian to speak, and directly denied the solicitation.

"No! No! I'm not here to persuade you, but to send you a message!"

Taoist Bailian shook his head and replied with a half-smile on his lips.

"Oh? What kind of news can be of great help to Fellow Daoist?"

Taoist Hunyang's eyes flickered with divine light, and Old Taoist Zhang beside him also opened his eyes to stare at Taoist Bailian.

The news about the Taoist Bailian is definitely not a trivial matter. Wang and Laodao don't believe even a word of the words of the Taoist Bailian. Can they really have such good intentions and work so hard for thousands of miles to send a message?

If this is the case, the White Lotus Sect is not the White Lotus Sect!

"Next year, the imperial court will issue a decree to let Buddhists and Taoists pay taxes, money and food to fund the national treasury!"

Bailian Taoist's light words, like thunder roaring, exploded in the minds of Hunyang Taoist and Wang Laodao.

"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible! We will use human servitude for the court to drive us in exchange for tax exemption! How can the Great Xia court go back on its word! Tear up the agreement that Taizu Xia made with us back then!"

When Taoist Hunyang heard the news, his eyes went dark, and he couldn't believe what Taoist Bailian said.

On the other hand, Wang Laodao's face was gloomy for a moment, and in a flash, he muttered aloud:

"Fusheng Wuliang Tianzun! Brother!"

Hearing Wang Laodao's obvious reminder, Taoist Hunyang knew that he had lost his composure just now, so he quickly adjusted his mood with a blank expression.

Seeing the performance of the two brothers, Taoist Wang, Taoist Bailian raised the corners of his mouth, obviously very happy with their performance.

"If this national policy is really implemented, I don't know how many Buddhist and Taoist traditions will be ruined! It's sad, sad!"

Seeing that Wang Laodao and Wang Laodao still didn't say anything, the Taoist of Bailian simply clarified his words and continued:

"Before the Great Xia Dynasty, Confucianism was the family that governed the world. They did not pay taxes or serve in the service. Buddhism and Taoism were the family of the world. They did not pay taxes and did not serve in the service. How carefree they were then!"

The Taoist of the Bailian Sect was full of emotion and yearning. Seeing that Wang Laodao was still expressionless and didn't care, he continued:

"But since the Great Xia Dynasty, we have made an agreement with Taizu Xia that I, the Buddhist and Taoist families, will be sent out to serve as slaves.

Although we are like immortals and Buddhas in the eyes of the world, we also have to eat and wear clothes, and our cultivation resources are even more huge. Inheritance will inevitably decline, and when the time comes, this majestic palace will be occupied by those mad scholars. I don't know how those patriarchs in the fairy world feel! "

"Hahaha!"

"Wait! You're saying it was instigated by those Confucian scholars!"

The Taoist of Hunyang heard that Confucian scholars were involved, and knew that it could not be faked. How could it be wrong for Confucian scholars to govern the country now!

"We are born in this world, and we have nothing to do with those Confucian scholars. Why did the Confucian sect plot against us!"

Hearing the Taoist Hunyang ask back, the Taoist Bailian smiled, not afraid of you asking, but afraid that you will not move!

"The imperial court used troops in the north and spent a lot of money, so I told the emperor that there is no king in the world, and I and other people have to pay taxes!"

Hearing the words of the Taoist Bailian, the Taoist brothers Wang Lao and Taoist looked at each other and were speechless. It seemed that the Confucianism was impatient. This is going to take Buddhism and Taoism out of the water!

"Confucianism governs the world, and the land is full of tax-free gentry. They do business, mine, and sell salt. What a huge profit! And they want to take away the Susukida of my Taoist school? How greedy!"

Taoist Hunyang sighed, and then said:

"This matter is important, thank you fellow daoist for reminding me!"

Seeing that Taoist Hunyang didn't mention a word of rebellion, Taoist Bailian didn't care, stood up and saluted, and said:

"Pindao is the messenger, let you misunderstand! Misunderstand! Hahaha!"

After speaking, the Taoist turned and left without any hesitation.

After Wang Laodao sent the Taoist Bailian away, they discussed again with solemn expressions.

"The north has been using troops for almost ten years, why hasn't it ended yet! My Great Xia is about to be dragged down, can the Tatars and Stone people resist the ten-year conquest?"

Wang Laodao pondered for a moment, and directly raised doubts.

The Tatars and Stone people are located in the barbaric area of ​​the Northland, with scarce resources, and they have not collapsed after ten years of conquest. This has to make people puzzled.

"I don't know! But it looks like the emperor wants to attack the gentry!"

"Then shall we pay taxes? If we pay taxes, the remaining money and food may not be able to support too many people!"

Taoist Hunyang pondered for a moment, then said:

"Hand it up, if you don't hand it over, I'm afraid you will face the joint strangulation of the nobles of the royal family and the gentry! But the gentry can open up the source, and we can also open up the source. Tell those younger generations, let go of your hands and feet, and if something goes wrong, I will wait for them Take it!"

"Hey! The emperor wants to play a big game of chess!"

"Officials and gentry work as one, and pay as one! Hehe! Hehe!"

After talking for a while, Wang Laodao and Wang Laodao were mature, and they had sources of information, how could they not know what was going on in this big game of chess!
