Needless to say, we know that Li Yunze took a special detour to Ruzhou this time just for Niugao.
The imperial family and the imperial court were ruined and the bottom line of shamelessness was set, but there were endless heroes among the people who fought against the Jin Dynasty.
The most famous one is of course Yue Fei, and the most heroic one is Yang Zaixing, whose great-grandson's daughter-in-law is the mother-in-law of Niujia Village.
In addition, there are many loyal people and heroes.
There is no doubt that Niu Gao is one of them.
Looking at the man in front of him who was like steel, Li Yunze got off his horse and walked over, "I also shot this deer, who do you think should belong to it?"
After all, Niu Gao was just a farmer and hunter. Seeing that Li Yunze was so impressive and had an entourage, he must not be an ordinary person.
He didn't want to cause trouble, so he could only swallow his anger and say, "Since it was shot by the young master, it belongs to the young master."
Deerskin is a high-value commodity, and one piece of deerskin is enough for their family to live a good life for several months.
But the situation is stronger than the person, and he does not dare to offend the noble person.
"Listening to your words, I'm not happy." Li Yunze joked, "But I'm dissatisfied."
Niu Gao was so angry that he wanted to roll his eyes. Of course he was dissatisfied. He was almost mad to death.
He lowered his head and said solemnly, "A certain family dare not..."
"I'm a fair person." Li Yunze said with emotion, "Since you and I shot the deer at the same time, it's a tie. Let's try our archery again. Whoever wins gets the deer."
Niu Gao, who hunted on Funiu Mountain all year round to support his family in Hukou, was very confident in his archery skills.
Immediately nodded "Okay!"
Pointing to a row of birds parked on a branch in the distance, Li Yunze smiled cordially, "You and I compete with each other to see who can hit the most birds in one shot."
Niu Gao was a little stunned. He was accurate in shooting, but he could not shoot faster...
"Don't you dare?"
"Why don't you dare?!"
Niu Gao immediately responded to the simple words.
The two of them raised their bows and set arrows at the same time. Only then did Niu Gao realize that Li Yunze was actually pulling the bow with his thumb and loading three arrows with one string!
"shoot!"
Li Yunze suddenly shouted angrily and shot out sharp arrows from his hands.
Niu Gao was flustered by the shout, and he subconsciously took action.
Li Yunze missed three arrows with one arrow and shot down three birds immediately.
The other birds on the branches were frightened and flew away, and Niu Gao's sharp arrows were able to come over at this time.
The birds scattered, and the three birds that were hit by arrows fell to the ground.
Li Yunze, who lowered his bow, turned to look at the dumbfounded Niu Gao, "Do you accept it?"
Niu Gao, who was smiling bitterly, turned around and saluted respectfully, "Young master's shooting skills are unparalleled, and his mental skills are even more admired by a certain family."
Li Yunze used methods to interfere with his mind, and even though he was so good at shooting, he still used such mental methods to interfere with himself. It was really unfathomable.
At this time, several imperial guards who had been knocked down before had also gotten up and cheered, "Your Majesty is mighty~~~"
"Your Majesty?"
Niu Gao was nervous and hurriedly bowed his head and said, "The common people don't know that the prince is in front of you, so please forgive me."
Taking a step forward, Li Yunze stretched out his hand to help him up. "There is no need for warriors to do this. Get up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Niu Gao was just a mountain man. He had never seen such a high-level existence as the prince.
The iron tower-like body seemed to be trembling. …."Take that deer with you." Li Yunze patted Niu Gao on the shoulder, "Go back to the village to eat first."
Niu Gao easily picked up the fat deer, which weighed more than a hundred kilograms, and put it on his shoulders.
The group of people went down the mountain to Shibeigou Village, where the previous entourage had already settled down.
The village is not big, with more than a hundred households. On the threshing floor, several large pots have been set up.
After Li Yunze and the others had hunted hares and pheasants, they were run through boiling water. The women in the village skillfully plucked and cleaned them, then chopped them into pieces and threw them into the boiling cauldron.
When Niu Gao came over with the fat deer on his shoulders, the people in the village became even more excited.
This kind of large prey is rare, and it is rare to have both firewood and fat. Naturally, everyone is happy about it.
"It's all cooked." Li Yunze greeted, "Let's eat all the prey together, and give the deer skin to Niu Gao."
The villagers cheered and praised Li Yunze as a wise king.
Li Yunze stayed in the village for three days, comforting the farmers, caring about their livelihood, and even calmed down several conflicts between villagers.
The simple villagers praised Li Yunze repeatedly and sincerely thought that Li Yunze was a good person.
Three days later, Li Yunze left the village and naturally took Niu Gao with him.
His identity is already an assistant in Prince Kang's Mansion.
For things like finding a mountain villager to help, the Imperial City Secretary didn't even bother to report it to the superiors.
When leaving Ruzhou and heading north and crossing Song County, Li Yunze made a special trip to Song Mountain.
The most famous thing in Songshan is of course the Shaolin Temple.
As he came to visit the temple in his capacity, he was naturally received by the abbot in person.
Everything is done according to the procedures, worshiping Buddha, burning incense, and paying for sesame oil.
The only thing that dissatisfied the oily monks was that the money given by King Kang for the sesame oil was too little.
With only 20 guan of sesame oil money, he had to take so many people to eat and drink, and he had to host the abbot to accompany him all the way around. It was really hard to make ends meet.
"Isn't there a sweeper here in the Sutra Pavilion?"
All the way to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, Li Yunze kept wandering around with his hands behind his back.
"Of course there is." The abbot, whose bald head was covered with oil, saluted. "Monks come to clean it every day, twice in the morning and evening."
Li Yunze suddenly paused, raised his hand and gestured on his eyebrows, "Is there any sweeping monk with such long eyebrows?"
The abbot smiled and shook his head, "Your Majesty, please forgive me, how can there be people with such long eyebrows in the world. The people cleaning everywhere are young monks to sharpen their minds."
"whispering sound!"
Li Yunze, who was slightly disappointed, complained about "squeezing the labor force."
Li Yunze felt a little regretful that he could not meet the sweeping monk.
But after entering the Sutra Pavilion, I couldn't find the seventy-two unique skills of Shaolin.
"I heard that your temple has seventy-two unique skills to train many monks..."
Before he finished speaking, the abbot over there was already sweating on his forehead.
He repeatedly confessed, "Your Majesty, be careful, there are not many warrior monks in this poor temple."
Throughout the dynasties, monks and Taoists were strictly monitored, and there were even incidents of extermination of Buddhas on many occasions.
You must know that temples have always been the richest places. Even the Buddha statues are made of copper and even coated with gold powder.
We are already so rich. If there are any more large-scale warrior monks, no court can bear it.
Also because he is rich and his life is so good, the temple is not willing to cause trouble. ....Li Yunze glanced at his bald head, turned around and continued to search for the scriptures.
"This temple has some martial arts training for strengthening the body, but when it comes to the seventy-two special skills, they are all spread by rumors." After saying that, the abbot hurriedly took out some training books and presented them to him.
Taking it over and flipping through it, Li Yunze quickly determined that it was indeed an entry-level technique, which was far from the stunt he had in mind.
Li Yunze, who was dissatisfied, asked, "Where is Leng Jia Jing?"
The abbot quickly found the Lengjia Sutra and offered it with both hands.
Li Yunze carefully opened it and even removed the cracks.
It's a pity that I still couldn't find the Nine Yang Manual.
"It's all lies!"
Li Yunze, who was so angry, simply stayed in the temple.
He brought hundreds of people with him. With so many people living and eating in the temple, they were not well fed. Of course, it was a burden for the temple.
And more importantly, they can't collect money yet.
Not only could he not collect money, but because Li Yunze lived in the temple, many pilgrims were unable to come.
Without pilgrims, the income of the temple has been reduced. Li Yunze and his people wandered around the temple eating and drinking all day long, which really made many great monks sweat.
In the end, Niu Gao expressed his meaning to the monks in a vague way.
"What? Do you want Xiaodera to pay?"
The abbot felt ridiculous for a while. They had always been the only ones collecting offerings, so they would never have thought that one day they would have to pay tribute to others.
"If the prince cannot be satisfied, then the prince will have to stay here forever."
It is impossible to live forever, but staying even for one more day is a huge burden and risk for the temple.
In desperation, the abbot could only wipe the sweat from his forehead with his cassock, "May I ask how much tribute the prince needs..."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Niu Gao glared with dissatisfaction, "Why would the prince ask for your tribute? Don't harm the prince's reputation."
"Yes Yes."
The abbot nodded repeatedly, "The poor monk made a mistake. The small temple is willing to make some contribution to the prince's inspection of spring plowing, and hopes that the prince can give him a chance."
"Yes." Niu Gao nodded with satisfaction, "The prince said that there was too much rainfall during the spring plowing season on Beijing North Road, and the river must be repaired."
When he heard that the river was being repaired, the abbot almost fell to the ground.
Building rivers has always been a large-scale project at the national level.
Even if it is a huge sum of millions, it will just go down the drain. How could their temple be so virtuous and capable that it could provide offerings and do such a big thing?
"Your temple can pledge donations for the river channel, and then persuade wealthy families from all over the country to pledge donations. It doesn't take much, your temple can just contribute one million yuan."
This number really frightened many monks to the point of weakening their legs.
It's not that he can't afford it, but the price Li Yunze offered is too high. Why should he give it to him for free?
Since the temple is rich, it naturally has its own connections in Beijing.
But it was not a good time for them to ask for help.
Because the Supreme Emperor Zhao Ji has returned to Bianliang City and is currently staging a drama of love and hatred with the emperor today.
The whole court was full of smoke and smoke, and there was no time or mood to care about Li Yunze's little things.
Moreover, Li Yunze not only directly blocked the mountain gate with his banner, but also began to visit and investigate the temple property matters.
If offering sacrifices means cutting the flesh, then investigating the property means removing the bones.
Because it simply can’t withstand investigation.
In the past, others did not dare to investigate, and those who dared to investigate would be suppressed by superiors.
But given the opportunity at this moment and Li Yunze's identity, the previous methods were useless.
The temple had no choice but to spend money to eliminate the disaster and send Li Yunze away quickly.
I really couldn't bear to part with the one million yuan, and I didn't dare to give it all, so I could only lower my face and discuss it.
In the end, Li Yunze was finally sent away with a pledge of 600,000 yuan.
He walked out of the mountain gate with his front feet, and the temple door behind him was immediately closed.
Afraid that he would come back again.
Looking at the magnificent temple, Li Yunze looked around at the scenery and said calmly, "I will come back."
96.
