Yuan Tiangang looked around and said: "There are so many empty houses in Lishan, how can there be no room for a Taoist temple?"
Xiao Qingqing put his hands behind his back and said like an adult: "Taoist Master Yuan can stay in Lishan, but he cannot open a Taoist temple in Lishan."
"A Taoist priest is nothing but a Taoist priest if he doesn't live in a Taoist temple."
"Taoist Master Yuan, if there is a Taoist temple in Lishan, some people will think that Lishan is connected with the Taoist sect. However, the Lishan monastery has only been established for seven years. How can it stand side by side with the Taoist sect?"
Yuan Tiangang sighed and said again: "Did your parents even teach you these things?"
Xiao Qingqing shook his head and said: "Daomen is Daomen, Lishan is just Lishan. We can give Daomen academic support, but it does not mean that Lishan wants to follow the same path as Daomen."
Yuan Tiangang stroked his beard and said, "It seems you still don't want to be an old disciple."
"Lishan can build a house in the village to serve as Taoist Yuan's residence."
"That's fine."
Xiao Qingqing frowned and said, "I'll just say goodbye first, Taoist Yuan can do what he wants."
Yuan Tiangang could only nod, unable to do anything about this extremely cunning girl. He sighed, feeling even less sure about the future.
Li Tai was sitting at the entrance of the village, waiting for Yuan Tiangang to come. He smiled and said, "Have you seen her?"
Yuan Tiangang stroked his beard and smiled: "Well, this girl is smarter than her peers. Her talent is talent. In the future, she will..."
"Brother-in-law told a story that hurt Zhongyong." Li Tai added: "A young and talented person became an ordinary person when he grew up. Brother-in-law never values talent, but pays more attention to acquired hard work. Her talent is very important to her. For the brother-in-law and the imperial sister, they are just average."
Yuan Tiangang glanced at Lishan, nodded and said, "I'm old, I'm afraid I won't be able to make any progress in this life."
Listening to these words, Li Tai felt the old man's helplessness. Zhang Yang gave Taoist Yuan an opportunity. This opportunity allowed Taoist Yuan to learn about the appearance of the earth. The theory of longitude and latitude was compiled under the guidance of Lishan.
Now the book "Longitude and Latitude" is in Daomen and has become a classic compiled by Yuan Taoist Master.
Eight years later, Yuan Daochang's longitude and latitude became one of the old man's achievements in his later years.
This will undoubtedly become a book that will be criticized by people. Lishan's knowledge has always been about seeking truth from facts.
Since the latitude and longitude can be calculated, it means that this land has dimensions and can be measured. No matter how people criticize it, the fact is the fact, and seeing is believing.
Yuan Tiangang returned to Chang'an and retreated again with Taoist Li Chunfeng.
Today is Pei Xingjian's first day in office. There is an official office on the side of Zhuque Street in Chang'an City. This is where the official office is.
There were three or two minor officials in front of the government office, nodding and bowing, "I've seen the Chang'an order."
Chang'an Ling was also the Yin of Jingzhao Prefecture. In the early years of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty changed You Nei Shi to Chang'an Ling. After the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was changed to Taishou, and in the Jin Dynasty it was changed to Yin.
Pei Xingjian ignored the clerk in front of the door and strode into the government office. The government office was not big and there were not many people, so it was not as impressive as expected.
Li Xian, the chief registrar of Jingzhao Mansion, was usually undisciplined, and he was also one of the tyrants of Jingzhao Mansion. His grandfather was the famous Li Shenfu, who was the minister of Zongzheng Temple and one of the princes of the clan.
His father, Li Yifan, is also the cousin of His Majesty and has a very high status in the clan.
No one in this place dares to challenge Li Siam.
As soon as Pei Xingjian entered the official residence, he met Li Siam who was talking to a big food merchant.
Li Xian also noticed the person coming and whispered: "Are you the Shangguan of a certain family, the new Chang'an order?"
"Exactly." Pei Xingjian nodded and stared at the big food merchant.
"Li Xian of a certain family is the chief clerk of Jingzhao Prefecture."
After that, he ate dates by himself and listened to the big food merchant talking vividly about big food women and Persian women.
Pei Xingjian nodded and said, "How come there are cannibals here?"
A petty official ran over in a panic and explained: "Early years ago, Xu Jingzong was still the minister of the Ministry of Rites. He captured a group of big cannibals in Bashang. This man's name was Aluoben, and he was the first big cannibal to come to Chang'an City. Then It happened in the ninth year of Zhenguan, five years ago."
Aluoben saluted and said, "The poor monk has seen the Chang'an Order."
Seeing that he was quite polite, Pei Xingjian passed by Li Xian and sat directly on the table.
This made Li Xian grit his teeth. This new Chang'an order was so arrogant.
Pei Xingjian asked: "Are you a monk?"
Aroben explained: "Yes."
"Bring the dossier!"
Hearing Pei Xingjian's loud shout, the three clerks on the side were so frightened that they all looked at Li Xian.
"Is a certain family the order of Chang'an, or is he the order of Chang'an?" Pei Xingjian was so angry that he slapped the table and shouted: "Look what he does!"
"Here." A clerk ran away in a panic and found one of the volumes from a pile of dusty documents.
Pei Xingjian frowned and opened a volume, looked at it carefully, and said with a smile: "That's strange. You are a cannibal and claim to be a Persian monk. Do you want to come to the Tang Dynasty to become a disciple?"
"It's interesting that a cannibal claimed to be a Persian monk." Pei Xingjian looked up at him and smiled: "Do you know how many cannibals a certain family killed in Persia?"
Aroben replied: "I am a Persian monk, and the feast has nothing to do with me."
"Alas." Pei Xingjian sighed: "What a clever method. With two identities, a certain family can't do anything to you?"
Aroben lowered his head and said, "Let Chang'an Ling laugh."
Pei Xingjian adjusted his sleeves and said, "Come here! Kill him."
"This...this, this, this..."
Everyone's eyes turned to Li Xian again.
Pei Xingjian couldn't bear it anymore. He stood up and pulled out the horizontal sword from his waist. He walked towards Aluoben step by step and said, "This person colluded with the powerful people in Chang'an to prevent the Tang Dynasty from aiding Persia. The Tang Dynasty does not need the gospel of your prophet."
Aroben said in a panic: "My lord..."
Before he could say anything, Pei Xingjian's horizontal knife stabbed into his stomach.
"Oops! There's been a murder." Some clerks ran away in panic.
Pei Xingjian grabbed the hem of Aluoben's clothes and stabbed the horizontal knife in his hand several times until Aluoben could no longer struggle and lay on the ground.
Then the Chang'an Ling who had just killed someone lightly wiped the blood on the knife and said discouraged: "Oh, I'm used to killing people outside the customs, why did I kill him? I can't control my hands after all."
Li Xian's mind went blank and the jujube in his hand fell to the ground. Cruel! This is definitely a ruthless person.
Chang'an ordered someone to be killed on the first day he took office, and this incident quickly spread in Chang'an City.
Li Siam ran away. He never wanted to go to Jingzhao Mansion again because the smell of blood there never went away. The blood of the cannibal was too unpleasant.
Some people also impeached Pei Xingjian for his actions on his first day in office, but His Majesty dismissed them lightly.
He was just a big cannibal. The Tang Dynasty was marching to the west, so it didn't matter if he died.
Pei Xingjian still sat firmly in the position of Chang'an Order. He killed someone on the first day he took office. On the second day he took office, he looked through the files here and said: "Is there someone buying and selling fields around Chang'an?"
The clerk on the side trembled in fright when he heard these words. He dropped the documents in his hand and ran away immediately. As he ran, he took off his official uniform and said that he didn't want to do it anymore.
They don't want to die. Pei Xingjian knows how to kill people, and he is happy when he kills people.
At this moment, there was only one clerk left beside him, "Chang'an Order, why do you need to check the fields? You can't do random checks."
Pei Xingjian drank tea and said: "A certain family is a disciple of Lishan's outer sect. Lishan has always hated land annexation. The government has repeatedly issued orders not to sell land privately. Whether a certain family is following the master's order or following His Majesty's decree, we must find out." .”
As soon as he finished speaking, the last civil servant was frightened and ran away. This Pei Xingjian not only liked to take people's lives, but he also didn't want them.
In the end, Pei Xingjian was the only one left in the Jingzhao Mansion. He sat alone in the government office and seemed not to realize the situation.
It wasn't until Li Yifu walked into the official residence to visit, that when Pei Xingjian looked up, he noticed that there was no one around, and only three official uniforms and official hats were thrown on the ground.
Upon seeing this, Li Yifu sighed: "The Chang'an magistrate established his authority as soon as he took office, and his subordinates admired him."
Pei Xingjian said in unison: "Li Shaoqing, a certain family is new to government affairs. They don't know the rules very well. They are used to being rough in Persia, so they didn't stop for a while."
Li Yifu waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter. It's just that Dali Temple originally planned to come to ask about the killing of Aluoben, so the official came to ask on behalf of Sun Shaoqing."
"Well, when a certain family was leading troops in Persia, they heard that the Great Eater had opened a temple in Persia. This Aluo was a descendant of the Great Eater's prophet. The so-called Persian monks were actually the temples opened by the Great Eater. The scriptures taught are also big cannibals.”
Pei Xingjian sighed: "Actually, the Persian monk is fake, and his true identity is the disciple of the Prophet of Dashi."
"This man died unjustly. Chang'an ordered him to kill him well. My subordinates will go to Dali Temple to explain."
Pei Xingjian looked at the dilapidated Jingzhao Mansion, distressed and worried, "How does Li Shaoqing think he will serve as the order of Chang'an?"
Li Yifu cupped his hands and said: "You should be elegant and not stick to red tape. The kind of person Chang'an Ling is is the kind of person he should be. A person's life is more than ten years as a child, and more than ten years after he is fifty. aged."
"From the time a person is born to the time he is buried, a person's real beauty only lasts for more than 20 years from the age of sixteen to the age of forty. Longevity is rare, so why not live a free and easy life?"
These words were very pleasing to Pei Xingjian, and the more he listened to them, the more comfortable he became.
"Today, Minister Xu held a banquet and invited Shangguan Yi, Gao Jifu, Zhang Daan and others to the banquet. I wonder if Chang'an Order can go with the lower officials."
"Okay!" Pei Xingjian agreed readily.
There is such a group of people in the factional dispute between the DPRK and China. They are more or less related to Lishan. The leader of these people is Xu Jingzong, followed by the three brothers Zhang Daxiang, Zhang Dashu, Zhang Daan, and now Pei Xingjian. Shangguan Yi.
Shangguan Yi proposed to His Majesty a memorial for local state capitals and villages and counties to improve productivity, which stated that the security of local villagers came from production.
He Shangguanyi wanted all parts of the Central Plains to make production the first priority and develop people's livelihood security like Lishan.
This matter has been debated endlessly in the DPRK. One Lishan is enough to cause headaches for many people, let alone several more Lishan in the future.
Since Shangguan Yi entered the court as an official, the first memorial he submitted was to ask the court to do such a big thing.
People will definitely talk about it, which also leads to the fact that this matter remains unresolved.
In Chongde Square in Chang'an City, there was a not very lively place. When Pei Xingjian walked to the door, he smelled the aroma of food.
He quickened his pace and walked into the house.
Xu Jingzong, Shangguan Yi, and Zhang Da'an were sitting here. When Li Yifu sat down, Pei Xingjian was not polite and followed suit.
Xu Jingzong smiled and said: "Brother Pei was just a young boy back then. After four years in Persia, he has become so resolute now."
Zhang Daan ate the food slowly, "Eat here, this is the food sent by Lishan, it is very rare."
Speaking of food, Pei Xingjian picked up his chopsticks and suddenly asked, "Why can't you buy that kind of yellow cookie in Chang'an City?"
Xu Jingzong drank the wine and said with a smile: "That's pumpkin cake, only available in Lishan."
Thinking of the day before coming to Chang'an City, some villagers sent a basket of cakes. Now that Pei Xingjian knew about it, he felt happy. He said loudly: "I want to come to the county, but I still think of my subordinates. I really want to try it again."
Zhang Daan picked up the wine glass and whispered: "I'm afraid it will have to wait until next year."
Noticing Pei Xingjian's gaze, Shangguanyi stood up and said, "Shangguanyi from a certain family."
Pei Xingjian cupped his hands and said, "I have admired you for a long time."
Not long after, Di Renjie came over with a jug of wine. He didn't regard himself as an outsider. He sat down and ate voraciously. He wanted to take two more bites while there were still dishes.
Xu Jingzong said again: "Brother Pei has just taken office, are you still getting used to it these days?"
Li Yifu smiled and said nothing.
Zhang Daan said: "He was Pei Duhu of the Western Expedition. The court felt that he was too young. Now he kills people to establish his power and scares many people. It's really a good thing. Drink hard!"
Pei Xingjian said helplessly: "I just killed someone and there are so many criticisms. I should be cautious in the future."
Li Yifu shook his head and said: "Brother Pei, why should you be humble? If you kill well, you have to kill like this. Only by establishing authority can you make your subordinates obedient. Killing is much better than beating. If you beat them, they may not be obedient. Only dead people can make them chill."
"To make you laugh, my brother drank this bowl first."
After saying that, Pei Xingjian raised the wine bowl and drank it all in one gulp, sighing: "It's just that all my subordinates were scared away, and now my brother is the only one left in Jingzhao Mansion."
Xu Jingzong waved his hand and said: "It's okay. I can arrange some manpower for Pei Xingjian from the leading army guard. The army has been rectifying recently. Everyone must be literate. I will assign some capable people to Pei."
"Thank you, Minister."
"Don't be too polite."
A few people talked about the current political situation, and they dispersed when the curfew was approaching at night.
Pei Xingjian simply slept in Jingzhao Mansion.
Originally, the main hall of the official office of Jingzhao Mansion was used to handle political affairs in Chang'an City, and the drunk Pei Xingjian lay on the table in the main hall.
It was very cold in Chang'an City in the early morning, and he woke up from the cold.
He opened his eyes drowsily, rubbed his eyebrows, and saw a group of people standing in front of him.
When they saw Pei Xingjian waking up, they bowed and said, "The leader of the guard, Chang Niu Chao, has seen the Chang'an order."
Pei Xingjian covered his head, which was still aching, and remembered the arrangements made last night. Xu Jingzong had indeed said that he would make arrangements to help Jingzhao Mansion.
I didn't want it but it came so quickly. (End of chapter)
