Chapter 23 Chapter 23

The big quilt slept together, turned the phoenix and the phoenix, and had a romantic night. The next morning, King Yang did not hear the rooster dance for the first time in the world, and practice martial arts.No way, the "big rooster" of the Yang family went on strike due to overwork. King Yang supported the wall and entered the flower hall. He saw Dong'er and Nvying sitting at the table, waiting for him to come to eat. He said: "Why do officials look like this today, throwing away their helmets and armor, in a mess, but they just came back from a defeated battle?" Yang Hao was not willing to show weakness in front of his wives, he straightened his waist and said: "How is it possible, this high official is naturally invincible and invincible." After speaking, he walked to the main seat with his legs fluttering sat down.

Dong'er served him porridge, and said with a dizzy face, "Really, you are so old, and you don't know how to restrain yourself. It's a good thing I didn't ask the children to come to eat together, or you, a father, would be in front of your children." It would be a big loss of face." Yang Hao laughed and said: "It's better to be my darling Dong'er, who knows that she loves me, Nvying, huh! You just know how to laugh at me." After finishing speaking, he whispered: "It's okay, I pretended, how can I be so stupid?" It's miserable, but then again, the three little white rabbits turned into elite female wolves, it's really terrifying, without dual cultivation of kung fu, the husband really can't handle them."

Dong'er glared at him angrily and funny, and said, "Okay, I know you Mr. Yang worked hard, no, Nvying prepared such a table of rich and delicious meals for you early in the morning. Yanyan, doll, Miao Miao, they are actually gentle and virtuous women, but they are just eager to have a child." Speaking of this, her face flushed red again: "Speaking of the bottom line, I have to blame you. If you are not usually ridiculous, you will always be mad at me. Call the three of them together and make a fuss about it, even if they are eager to have a child, they will not go to battle together, that's enough, let's eat quickly, and I will tell them later."

Although Yang Hao is out of ammunition and food, the three girls of Yanyan are also as crisp as mud. Yang Hao can get up to eat at least, but the three of them are so jaded that they can't sleep.Anyway, the three girls didn't stay in bed once or twice, and everyone didn't call them. Yang Hao ate and laughed with Dong'er and Nvying, enjoying themselves.After breakfast, let Dong'er and Nvying take the four children to play by themselves, and then Yang Hao rushed to Zhongtang Bookstore to deal with business. When he patrolled Shunzhou, important official documents were approved by the cabinet and transferred to Shunzhou for its decision. When a country was first established, state affairs were of great importance, and matters involved military affairs, politics, economy, culture, government, civil governance, and religion. On the one hand, there are two thick stacks of memorials and official documents every day, especially in the fashion of the time, never to state things directly to you, and the articles are full of flowers, you have to read them carefully and analyze them.

Around Yang Hao, there is a group of staff who assist from the side, polishing the pen, reciting the staff, and deliberating the words, basically the role of the secretary.Yang Hao carefully reviewed the memorials, and these people were all busy with their own affairs. According to the priority of the matter, these staff members piled up the most important memorials separately and placed them on his right hand. After reviewing these memorials, this It was almost the same all morning. Yang Hao saw that there was still some time, so he picked up another copy from the pile of memorials on the left, and after reviewing most of the memorials, he said: "Hehe, this memorial..., as expected, I said why they have been so heavy all the time. Hold on. Master Suzhenji must be their representative."

A close official who was reviewing the memorial by category still had some impressions of this memorial, and said with a smile: "What the king said is true, but what they said is also well-founded. Buddhism is pure, jumps out of the three realms, and is not in the five elements. Don't stick to common customs, don't pay corvee taxes, but the king asks Fotianyi to pay taxes, which is different from the rules since ancient times, so they naturally have plausible arguments." Yang Hao smiled faintly: "Rules? The rules are all made by people. The monks don't do production, but they have a lot of wealth because of the believers' stipends. These wealth have been purchased by them. A large number of good fields, these Buddha fields are cultivated by tenants, They have to collect rent according to the regulations, since he can collect rent, the imperial court can naturally collect their taxes, if they give the land to the tenant farmers for free, then they will not collect their taxes."

He threw the memorial forward, and said contemptuously: "This matter can be handled by a bachelor, why bother bringing it to Gu and seal it back!" Mu Sheren reminded in a low voice: "My lord, Buddhism is prevalent in the Western Regions, and there are many believers. If it is not handled well, I'm afraid... You should be more careful about this matter." Yang Hao sneered and said: "How cautious should I be? This king is the protector of the Buddhist teachings, and I don't have three heads and six arms. If you want to protect the Dharma, you must have soldiers and generals. Where does the general's salary come from? Armaments and equipment Where did they come from? Gu has no gold and silver, so why should they pay taxes? Don’t worry about it, if Gu Ruo replies in person, it will increase their ambitions, and they will be sealed back to the cabinet, and they will be dealt with by a scholar.”

"yes!" The clerk responded respectfully, and Yang Hao picked up another one.When the taxation law was enacted, there was a lot of discussion in the court about whether to collect taxes on the Buddha's property in Fotian. The Buddhist believers among the officials naturally thought that they should not reach out to the Buddha. The influence is very important, and the current king's rebellion to establish the country has received strong support from the Buddhist community. It should follow the usual practice and not pay the Buddha's field tax.But it was rejected by Yang Hao.

Most of the scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen in the Western Regions believed in religion, so there was no way to stop this matter.What's more, Yang Hao himself has made great use of the influence of Buddhism. Even now, including for a long period of time in the future, he wants to consolidate his rule, especially to integrate various ethnic tribes with different customs and ethnic cultures. Religion is still quite powerful for him. of a weapon. However, this does not mean that he has to indulge the Buddhist forces. Just like Cui Dalang and Talib, two wealthy and powerful businessmen, the more he has to rely on them, the more he has to restrict them. The line of Talib is to restrict Cui Dalang, who has the background of the successor hall, and the line of the Great Qin Empire is to restrict Talib, which is backed by the Dashi Empire.

The way of the emperor, the way of balance, has been passed down from the ancient country for thousands of years. As long as someone who has read the book for a few days becomes an emperor, who doesn't understand this truth?The difference is only the level of the method, whether it is clever or not. Yang Hao introduced the Roman Orthodox Church and the Muslim sect, and built Taoist temples for several juniors, in order to change the situation where Buddhism is the only one, but he did it very cleverly. , have to create favorable conditions for them to pray for their faith as an excuse.As for the Taoist temple, it is my junior brother, and it is justified.

However, this process is very long, depending on whether the development of these sects is smooth or not. If too much convenience is given to the Buddhist forces now, and their competition is kept too far from the beginning, then the other forces will not be able to cultivate. Woke up.In the past, there were many princes in the eighteen states of the Western Regions, fighting each other, which seriously damaged the development of Buddhist forces. Although the living Buddhas and eminent monks held a large amount of wealth, due to political turmoil and regime changes, they naturally did not want to buy land. Moreover, agriculture in the Western Regions was too underdeveloped at that time, and they did not want to buy Buddha fields.Now that Yang Hao has ruled Hexi, the politics is stable, the country is peaceful and the people are peaceful, and at the same time, he is vigorously developing farming. The big families and rich families have responded one after another, buying land and houses. The eminent monks are also a little jealous. They are willing to use their dead money to support the construction of Xixia. Of course, Yang Hao is very welcome. But I don't want to get off to a bad start. Fortunately, the Buddhist forces in the Western Regions had very few Buddhist fields before, and the temple owners have not developed the habit of not paying taxes on Buddhist fields. At the same time, the stability of Yang Hao's regime has brought them great benefits compared to before. At this time, when some rules are formulated, the resistance is the least. In fact, Yang Hao has repeatedly considered these factors. Now, on behalf of the Buddhist circle, it is the not-so-famous Nasu Zhenji who is objecting to it on behalf of the Buddhist circle, rather than the high-ranking monks such as Dacuo Living Buddha. Yang Hao knows that the formulation of his policy is not beyond the Buddhist circle of the Western Regions. The bottom line, so those eminent monks cherished their feathers, for fear that being rejected would affect their reputation, so they elected Nasu Zhenji, a person of moderate status, as a representative. Yang Hao sealed the memorial and returned it to the cabinet without hesitation, and then reviewed two or three copies of the memorial. Seeing that the time was almost up, he asked people to put away the unapproved official documents and immediately issued the approved ones. Memorial.Seeing that the king was going to rest, all the bureaucrats hurriedly put down their pens and stood up, and bid farewell to the king. After waiting for everyone to go out, Yang Hao took another sip of tea, straightened his waist, felt a little sore in his waist and eyes, couldn't help shaking his head and laughing, last night was really crazy, even if he didn't support it with internal cultivation skills, he could still support it for a ridiculous night Stand still, but those three little girls may be used to it. Although they don't use inner strength and mental methods, they still use the posture of dual cultivation and intercourse in many movements. What hanging golden cicada, Yangai pine, chanting ape hugging a tree, Kunji on the scene... These difficult movements are enough for one person, but it's three, and it's enough for three people, and they all scored three goals At this point, how could one be so "ecstasy" that someone who was beaten by iron would not be able to stand it without the protection of the body with profound kung fu... Gently beating his waist, Yang Hao was about to get up, when the dog's voice sounded sweetly: "Uncle, I'm done with my work." "Well, I'm done." As Yang Hao said, he walked behind the screen and lay down on the bed. Usually, after reviewing the memorials of the day, he would go to the back to rest, close his eyes, and revisit the things he reviewed all morning, thinking about any omissions. Exercise your analytical and judgment skills in dealing with major events.No one is born a qualified monarch, the cultivation and training the day after tomorrow is very important. The dog who came in after him jumped playfully, sat on the edge of the kang with his little buttocks, turned his body around, and beat his waist lightly and frequently with a pair of small powder fists. When recuperating or thinking about problems, the dog would squeeze his shoulders and pat his back next to him, making him look like a fairy. He was sent to Bianliang for more than half a year, and it was not until today that he relived the feeling. Yang Hao couldn't help but feel comfortable closed his eyes. "Xiao Yi, my uncle asked you to send someone to contact Japan as soon as possible yesterday to make sure that Ziyu and the princess arrived safely. Has the person been sent?" The dog's two calves were swinging lively, and the little fist was hitting just right, Yang Hao was very comfortable. It seemed that she was more comfortable than Yang Hao in doing this job, with a sweet smile on her face. With a happy smile, although Yang Hao couldn't see her, she nodded: "Well, they have been dispatched, and the country of Song is tightly blocked. For safety, I arranged for a few people who are proficient in Khitan to go to the country of Liao. Go to Dongying by sea boat." "Well, this is more appropriate. However, our relationship with the Liao Kingdom is relatively estranged now, so it is not appropriate to disclose any information. The identity of Princess Yongqing may not be useless to the Liao Kingdom." "Got it, don't worry, uncle, Gou'er has learned a lot from sister Zhuyun and Ziyu, how can he be so stupid. By the way, sister Yuluo and sister Zhuyun will be here soon. I just After receiving the news, they will be able to arrive in Shunzhou tomorrow morning at the latest, and if they are quick, they will arrive tonight." Upon hearing this, Yang Hao said happily: "Okay, I'm planning to rush back to Xingzhou today, so I'll wait another day until they arrive together tomorrow." At this time, Yanyan walked in slowly, the beauty had slept well in spring, and her spirit was naturally glowing. She had been carefully dressed up, and she was already a beauty. After applying rouge, the spring feeling brought by the lingering night at the brows and eyes is still faint, but except for a big expert like Yang Hao, few people can see it. When the dog saw it, he immediately jumped off the couch, and called crisply: "Sister Yanyan." The dog's name is Uncle Yang Hao, but Yuluo, Yanyan, Miaomiao and others all call her elder sister. This generation sounds a bit messy, but she used to be called that way, and the little girl is very popular with the Yang family. Like, so no one to correct her.Furthermore, she is the apprentice of Fuyaozi Chen Tuan. If we talk about it from Sleeping Immortal, these apprentices of Jingu Xiangu are indeed of the same generation as her. "Well, Xiao Yi is here too." Yanyan greeted her with a smile, her beautiful eyes that were so charming that she could drip water gave Yang Hao a shy glance, and gently put the soup cup on the low table in front of him, and said softly: "The official has worked hard for half a day, and I will definitely give her a hand. I'm tired. This snake soup is carefully blended with a lot of precious medicinal materials. It's full of heat and very nourishing. You can drink some while it's hot to nourish your body." When the cover was lifted, Yang Hao frowned, who said it was snake soup, could it be that I couldn't even tell the difference between snake meat and tiger penis?Tch, when will I, Mr. Yang, be reduced to the point where I have to take these kidney tonics?When I finish the great cause of planting, let's see how the old man will show off his glory again, hum! Yang Hao also knew that it was because the dog was by his side, and Yanyan was embarrassed to say it directly, so it became a snake soup, otherwise the two couples have done all kinds of affectionate things, so there is no need to be so taboo.He hummed and said: "Let's put it there first, I'm talking with Xiao Yi, I'll have a drink later. Oh, yes, ask someone to tidy up the two bedrooms in the backyard, maybe Yu Luo and Zhu Yun will come back tonight. Eldest brother is rushing in Luohan, let someone inform him, if he has time, he will come over, if the younger sister and the others come back, the family will have a meal, elder brother is also concerned about younger sister." "Well, I'll go now." Yanyan stood up slowly, glanced at the dog, stretched out her hand to gently brush her hair, and said a little coyly: "Well..., the elder sister said about us just now. We are really...no, as long as you know...know where the problem lies , you can prescribe the right medicine, there is no need to rush for a while..., officials and state affairs are heavy...so... come to my courtyard tonight, officials, I am making a soup, which is much more nourishing than this..." As soon as she finished speaking, she quickly added: "It's just me making soup for the officials alone. Wawa and Miaomiao are respectively...cough cough, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow." "Ah?" Of course, Yang Hao understands the real meaning of drinking soup. It is true that it is true for him to drink stewed soup, but this is an unwritten rule in the Yang family's back residence. Love is lingering, lingering overnight.The origin of this code word comes from a joke that Yang Hao made with his lovely wife on the couch: My wife invites me to drink soup, and I should repay my husband, and I also invite my wife to drink soup.For my husband, this soup is full of fire, not only prolonging life, but also beautifying the face... That day Yang Hao was in the dark with Yan Yan, Wa'er and Miao Miaohu, they drank the soup from their own officials, and they also had such a code word afterwards.Yang Hao saw that the result of Dong'er talking about the three daughters turned out to be such a compromise method, but changed Sanying's battle with Lv Bu to one pass a day.From this point of view, these three childless ladies are really anxious. They usually look at Dong'er and Nvying holding their son and daughter, and their envious eyes are probably blue, right? Yang Hao gave the lady a knowing look, then nodded casually and said, "Well, I know..." Yanyan left happily, the dog didn't know what to say, and couldn't help laughing: "I heard from the master that lazy people like to hum, and greedy people like to drink soup. When did the uncle become so fond of soup? How can you not eat it in a day?" be lacked." Yang Hao sat up, picked up the soup cup, drank from his lips, and smiled vaguely: "Well, cough, drinking soup is good for nourishing the body. There is no chance when you are away. It is much more convenient to go home. Of course I need to drink a few more bowls to make up for it, hehe..." "Oh, that's it," Gou'er said innocently, "I have also learned a few recipes for making soup from my master. Since the uncle likes to drink, Gou'er will also show his skills, um..., Tomorrow is Sister Wa'er , The day after tomorrow is sister Miaomiao, so let’s go the day after tomorrow! I’ll make soup for uncle.” Yang Hao let out a “squeak” and almost spit out the tiger penis soup from his nose. Looking at the innocent eyes of the flower of the motherland in front of him, Yang Hao suddenly wanted to move, and had the urge to turn into an evil monster. He hurriedly watched his nose, nose and heart, and washed away his evil desires that happened by accident. The dog keeps calling him uncle, and he has always regarded her as a close junior, so he has a desire that he shouldn't have, so damn it. Yang Hao scorned himself for a moment, corrected his attitude, stood up and said with a smile: "Haha, I didn't know that my Xiaoyi also has a good handicraft, Cheng, when I have time, uncle will try your handicraft. " The dog jumped up and down behind him, and said happily: "Okay, when I was in Huashan, I often helped the master prepare the wine and dishes, and I really know how to cook." master?Sleeping Fairy Chen Tuan, that sloppy old Taoist, probably as long as the dish is mixed with salt, he can eat it, and he can still be a gourmet.Yang Hao was about to tease her, but Mu Sheren hurried in with a person, Yang Hao stopped immediately, frowned slightly, and asked, "What's the matter?" Mu She said humanely: "Report to Your Majesty, this person is a warrior from the Wei Military Department, and he has a very urgent military plan to report to Your Majesty." "Oh?" Yang Hao's eyes suddenly became sharp: "What's the matter?" The man stepped forward, knelt down on one knee, put his fist on the ground, and said respectfully: "Report to the king, I belong to Chu Fengzhi of the Weiwu tribe, and under the order of Lord Wang Shirong, I played the king secretly, Tuoba Han Chan, Tuoba The two brothers, He Shao, secretly assembled tribal warriors and evacuated the camp, with evil intentions!"
