A cowhide map is spread on the ground. The Yang family spent fifty years drawing the map. It will be remade every five years and constantly supplemented and improved. It is more detailed than the map in the military mansion.
Yang Anxuan held an oil lamp and traced his fingers across the Yangtze River, saying: "The Yangtze River has been called the 'Tianqian' since ancient times. It has crisscrossed tributaries and numerous lakes. The transportation is extremely convenient. You can travel hundreds of miles a day along the river. I thought I could settle near the Yangtze River." .”
Yang Quanqi remained silent, his eyes carefully scanning the map. He had a deeper understanding of the layout of the court than Yang Anxuan.
Yang Anxuan didn't speak again. He held up the oil lamp and watched quietly as his father's fingers clicked on each important town, murmuring in his mouth.
After a long time, Yang Quanqi straightened up, his eyes shining brightly under the oil lamp, he tapped Baling (renamed Yueyang in the Tang Dynasty) heavily with his fingers, and said: "I decided to move my family here."
"Ba Ling," Yang Anxuan said softly.
"Yes, it's Baling." Yang Quanqi stretched his waist, and after bowing for a long time, his bones made a series of crisp sounds.
Yang Quanqi looked at Yang Anxuan with sharp eyes and asked, "Xuan'er, do you know why you chose Baling as your father?"
Yang Anxuan put the oil lamp close to the map, looked at it carefully, and said: "Baling belongs to Changsha County, Jingzhou. It is a place with crisscrossed rivers and dense lakes. The Battle of Chibi in the Three Kingdoms took place here."
Raising his head and looking at Yang Quanqi, Yang Anxuan said with a smile: "This is a strategic place in the throat, surrounded by mountains and rivers, at the intersection of Baiyue, Bashu, Jing and Xiang. It is also an important place."
Yang Quanqi nodded approvingly, stroking his beard to signal him to continue.
"Baling is surrounded by Mufu Mountain, Yunmengze, Dongting Lake, and the Yangtze River, so you can move forward and retreat freely. There are hundreds of thousands of hectares of arable land here, suitable for growing rice, and there are more lakes and rivers with rich aquatic products. Buy land here to build a building. Wuwu, the clan’s business can be transported to various places through the river, which is very convenient..."
After talking about it for a cup of tea, Yang Anxuan stopped talking. Yang Quanqi said with satisfaction: "Xuan'er is right. Hongnong County is located at the junction of Qin and Jin. It has been constantly fighting for years. At that time, most of the tribesmen followed your grandfather to the south. Later, they fought everywhere and had no fixed residence."
"The land of hundreds of battles is indeed not suitable for the people to live in peace. My father's plan to build a dock in the south is right. Move the people who still live in the ancestral land here, and then move back to Yizhi after the world is at peace. Our Yang family will be in the north and south in the future. Spread the branches and leaves.”
Yang Anxuan vaguely remembered that the Later Qin would launch an attack on the Eastern Jin Dynasty soon. Hongnong, Shangluo and other places were taken away by the Later Qin. The plan to relocate the clans should be implemented earlier.
Thinking of this, Yang Anxuan said: "Father, my son won 600 taels of gold when he bet on the outcome of the Yan Dynasty. All of it was used for his father to buy land to settle the clan members."
Yang Quanqi was greatly moved. The price of the best land would not exceed 3,000 yuan, and the price of the land in Heze would only cost more than a hundred yuan. Thousands of acres (1), tens of thousands of acres of swampland, mountains and forests, this family property is enough to house thousands of clan members.
"Xuan'er, you understand the righteousness well. This money can be considered as a loan from the clan." Yang Anxuan was so moved that he almost didn't say "This family property will be yours in the future."
Yang Anxuan knew his father's intentions, but he didn't want Tian Wenshe. What he wanted was the gratitude of his tribe, so that he could gain the support and loyalty of his tribe's army and use it to fight in the world.
"Father, you might as well discuss the purchase of land and house with my uncle and the others and send someone there as soon as possible. As for uncle Jiu who only wants to go to Huainan, let him go." Yang Anxuan said.
Early the next morning, Yang Quanqi gathered his clan members together. Most of the clan members were very happy to learn that they were going to Baling to buy land and settle down in one place.
Yang Liang smiled and said: "Since we plan to temporarily move Hongnong's ancestral business to Baling, I will not go north again. We can't delay this matter. I will leave for Baling in a few days."
Yang Ming, the third elder in the clan, is planning to settle down in Tangyi, and Yang Cai is going to Huainan. Naturally, he will take care of the family business in Baling.
Yang Ming sighed to Yang Anxuan: "Anxuan, you can lend 600 gold to buy a house for the family. You understand the righteousness and this money will be returned to you in the future."
Yang Anxuan smiled and said: "You are also a member of the clan. It's lucky for Anxuan to be able to do something for the clan."
Determining to change the world is not a big, empty lie. From relieving victims under Jiyang City, rescuing Zhang Feng's family, developing Yang Jiali, and training new troops, to going to the eldest son to watch the enemy and determine the top grade, and then to Jiankang and moving forward arduously, Yang Anxuan is working hard to change the world.
From saving what I can to doing what I can, it is a pleasure for him to be able to help his people change their wandering destiny. Yang Anxuan's mouth showed a comfortable smile.
Yang Cai was anxious and annoyed, and regretted it too much. He had known that Yang Quanqi would go to Baling to buy a house and settle down. He even spent more than a thousand taels of gold to buy a house, but he said not to go to Huainan.
After returning last night, Yang Cai hurriedly led people to Huainan. To his surprise, there were very few people willing to go with him, let alone the clan troops.
It seems that Quanqi is more popular. Yang Cai stroked his beard and rolled his eyes to figure out. It seems that after returning, he will have to divide the family again. He will only take Peng'er to Huainan, and the rest of the family should follow him to Baling.
…………
Something happened in the capital, and Yang Anxuan did not dare to stay in Tangyi for long, so he took Yang Qiu back to Jiankang.
Yin Huizhen was about to get married, so she asked her to go and say goodbye. Yin Huizhen married into a deep palace, and I'm afraid she would never have a chance to see her again in the future.
As soon as he arrived home, Yuan Tao rushed over anxiously and asked directly: "What are your plans, uncle?" Yu begged the prefect Zhao to intercede with the king of Kuaiji. The prefect Zhao said that the matter was of great importance and the king of Kuaiji would not be able to come forward. .”
Seeing Yuan Tao's worried expression, Yang Anxuan felt warm in his heart. His cousin really cared about his family, and comforted him with a smile: "Cousin, my father is used to seeing storms, and this little storm is nothing. My cousin has been there recently. What are you busy with?"
Speaking of being busy, Yuan Tao sighed: "Prefect Zhao urged him to write new songs and asked people to search for legends and stories from all over the country. Yu originally planned to cross the river to visit his uncle and aunt, but Prefect Zhao did not let him go, so he had no choice."
Yuan Tao was promoted to the head of Wei County in February. He deeply felt the kindness of Zhao Ya and tried his best to write another big drama. However, stories like "Butterfly Lovers" are not easily available. There are quite a few legends collected from various places, but they are all the ghost stories of foolish villagers and women, and they are difficult to reach the level of elegance.
Yang Anxuan asked with a smile: "Cousin, has he found a good book?"
Yuan Tao sighed and shook his head. Governor Zhao urged him urgently. He wanted to ask Yang Anxuan to help him with the details, but the Yang family was too troubled to do so.
Yang Anxuan was willing to help and gave the title of this opera master to his cousin.
It is not easy to find a few good plays with more than two thousand years of cultural accumulation. There are countless love stories in ancient times, such as "The Peacock Flies Southeast", "Butterfly Lovers", "The Romance of the West Chamber", "The Legend of the White Snake", "The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl", " "A perfect match" and so on, but some of them may be inappropriate and should not be said rashly without careful consideration.
"My cousin is a fan of the authorities. The opera "The Peacock Flies Southeast" from the Han Dynasty Yuefu was adapted into a play, which is definitely not inferior to "Butterfly Lovers". Moreover, "The Peacock Flies Southeast" is already a song and can be staged with only a few changes."
Yuan Tao slapped his thigh and said with a smile: "An Xuan wakes up the dreamer with one sentence. When you get back, you can tell Governor Zhao."
Yang Quanqi asked: "Have the two tribesmen around you not gone back yet?"
Yuan Tao smiled bitterly and said, "How could those two go back when they saw that Yu had been promoted? Yu rented a small courtyard in Changqian to support them. If it hadn't been for the fact that Governor Zhao often rewarded them with some property, I would have been unable to support them. .”
Yang Anxuan said: "Why don't you find some work for them to make a living? What if someone from the clan comes to join you in the future?" Yuan Tao sighed: "I plan to buy some fields and let them go after I save some money. The manager of the village."
Yang Anxuan shook his head after hearing this. Yuan Tao was so tender that he was too embarrassed to blame his clan uncle and clan brother, which only fueled their arrogance. Even though Yuan Tao is an eighth-grade official, according to the virtues of his two elders, it will take him years of the monkey and months of horses to save enough money to buy land.
"Cousin, procrastination like this is not the answer. You can simply give them some capital and let them find their own jobs." Yang Anxuan advised earnestly: "You are getting older and will marry a wife and have children in the future. Do you have to support them for the rest of your life?" It won’t work with them.”
Yuan Tao sighed: "In another two years, Yu will be ready to choose a foreign minister and become a county magistrate, and then we will worry about it."
…………
In the square outside Wa Coffin Temple, there are piles of wood and sand. Emperor Sima Yao was very displeased when he heard about the fire in Wa Coffin Temple. He thought it was "an ominous sign for the country" and ordered the master craftsmen Yang Fashang, Li Xu and others to repair it.
The temple gate is full of craftsmen and no longer receives ordinary pilgrims. Yang Anxuan asked the novice monk at the mountain gate to go in. After a while, monk Fayan came out to welcome him.
Monk Fayan looked at Yang Anxuan with awe in his eyes. After the incident, he thought that Brother Huijing had said that Yang Anxuan had too many causes and effects. Although it was a good idea to light a lantern to pray for him, he was afraid that the Buddhist temple would be affected.
These words were spoken privately by fellow apprentices. Huijing repeatedly warned Fa Yan not to mention it to anyone else, otherwise Yang Anxuan would be harmed and Wa Coffin Temple would suffer as a result.
After the fire broke out in the Buddhist temple, Master Huijing breathed a sigh of relief and told himself with a chuckle: "The disaster will be gone with the fire, and the Wa Coffin Temple will welcome Buddha treasures and prosperity is imminent."
Fayan and Huijing have been together for more than thirty years, and they are well aware of the profoundness of the Buddhist teachings and their clear analysis of cause and effect.
Sure enough, the emperor soon issued an edict to build the Wa Coffin Temple. The edict not only saved money, but was also a great honor to the Buddhist temple.
There were sand and gravel everywhere. Fa Yan called Yang Anxuan to carefully step into the temple. The main hall had been burned to ashes, and the living room for entertaining guests no longer existed.
Yang Anxuan asked with concern: "Has the Picture of Vimalakirti's Diseases ever been damaged?"
Fa Yan smiled and said: "Thanks to the blessing of Lord Buddha, the mural is not damaged at all, and the two verses of Yang Tanyue are not overdone."
Yang Anxuan breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Wa Coffin Temple is reborn after fire Nirvana. People are empty, Dharma is empty, everything is empty, and only then can we achieve the ultimate state."
"Good, good, good." Fa Yan clasped his palms together and recited the Buddha's name: "Amitabha, Yang Tan Yue has seen the clear nature of the mind and has a deep affinity with Buddha. By the way, Senior Brother Huijing has warned that if Yang Tan Yue comes to the Buddhist temple, please come His monks talk."
After passing through the noisy construction site, you will find the monk's dormitory through the doorway of the low wall. It is like entering another world. The sound of chanting can be heard, and the noise in the front hall becomes distant.
Seeing that Yang Anxuan was a little surprised, Fa Yan said with a smile: "Senior brother said that the lessons should not be interrupted and that the monks should practice in the monk's dormitory. To be honest with Yang Tanyue, the poor monk has been studying quietly these days and feels that he has made some progress."
Master Huijing's face was as calm as before. When he saw Yang Anxuan, he looked at him carefully and said, "Yang Tanyue's eyebrows were red a few days ago, and it was unpredictable whether good or bad luck would come. Now that the red light has disappeared, there is no need to worry about it for now."
Yang Anxuan clasped his hands and said, "I hope the master can give you more detailed advice."
Huijing shook her head slightly and said: "Monks don't lie. I just feel it occasionally. Tan Yue only needs to protect the country and the people, be compassionate, and the Buddha will naturally protect him."
"Thank you, Master, for your teachings." Yang Anxuan said, "I would like to donate 100,000 yuan and light another ever-bright lamp in front of the Buddha. May the Buddha's light break the barriers and bring peace and joy."
Fa Yan's heart trembled. He was the one who persuaded Yang Anxuan to light the everlasting lantern, but it resulted in a huge incense fire, and even the Buddhist temple was reduced to ashes. If he accepted another hundred thousand yuan, something might happen again.
Huijing put her hands together and said, "The Buddha's lamp is always bright and protects the faithful. It's so good."
