Chapter 380 Exile outside customs is delicious, I have to work hard to make babies and people!
Potatoes are high-yielding crops that Zhang Gui asked the Academy of Agricultural Sciences to cultivate a few years ago, and they are now widely planted outside the customs.
The land allocated to Zhang Pu's family was mainly used to grow potatoes.
Before there were slaves, he and his wives mainly dug the potatoes in his family, but now they don't need to do it anymore.
Zhang Pu can still live a life where besides teaching, he can just sit back and talk about his nature. Naturally, he feels that living here is pretty good, and he is unwilling to take the risk of escaping back to the pass.
After Zhang Pu told Mao Pijiang that it would be good to stay here in Liaodong Kaizhou outside the customs, Mao Pijiang did not object, but nodded accordingly.
He now only thinks that he may be able to take the initiative in the barbarian girls assigned to him, so that he may still be able to experience the life of a master, and as Zhang Pu said, he may be able to let the slaves carry him in a sedan chair to watch Scenery, and then sing the wind and moon.
Compared with carriages, scholar-bureaucrats still prefer the feeling of being carried by others.
Mao Pijiang and Zhang Pu are no exception.
In any case, after tens of thousands of foreign barbarians were dispatched outside the customs to serve as slaves to the Han people, it did ease the desire of the Han people to return to the customs. Are you in a hurry to go back to the customs?
The exile of tens of thousands of foreign barbarians to the outside of the pass and the distribution of Han people outside the pass as slaves, in fact, was already a few months later, after the autumn of the eleventh year of the apocalypse.
As for Zhang Gui, after regaining Guangzhou in the summer of the 11th year of Tianqi, he continued to send troops to wipe out the remnants of the puppet dynasty, and began to prepare to recover Haojing (Macau).
In addition, when Zhang Gui asked the court to approve the distribution of captive foreign barbarians to the Han people outside the pass as slaves, he also asked for the expulsion of Haojing Folangji people.
And shortly thereafter, Zhang Gui specially led the army to the south, and asked Zhu Xieyuan to prepare to command the army to advance to Haojing by land and water.
But on the way to the south, Liu Zongmin suddenly came to Zhang Gui's place on this day, and reported: "Master Guo, Xichang received a letter saying that Mr. Han and nine Xilin scholars who came to Guangdong to help the democracy movement fell into their hands." In their hands, they asked Uncle Guo that you go to see them in person, and the address was stated in the letter."
"What happened? How did Han Gui fall into their hands?!"
Han Gui is the son of Han Yu, Zhang Gui's first student, and the first person in charge of Xichang's underground intelligence system. He is very important to Zhang Gui and the entire Xichang.
Needless to say, Xilin Scholars are all outstanding scholars who sincerely support reform for the country and the people because of Zhang Gui's cultivation, and they are the seeds of the capable ministers of the Ming Dynasty.
So, after Zhang Gui heard what Liu Zongmin said, he was shocked on the spot.
Because both Han Gui and Xilin Scholars are very important to him.
Liu Zongmin replied at this time: "I didn't expect to be in a humble position." Then he asked Zhang Gui: "Do you think there is fraud?"
Zhang Gui said: "Whether it is true or not, I have to go to the meeting!"
Therefore, Zhang Gui ordered: "Prepare the horses, transfer the Xishan Camp of the Chinese Army and the Taishi's Ding team to follow the Taishi to the place mentioned in this letter!"
"yes!"
The place Zhang Gui is going to come to is called Longzang Temple, which is a famous temple in Guangzhou Prefecture.
At this time, Han Gui and several Xilin scholars were tied to the pine tree here, and several monks were holding long knives and watching them.
After Zhang Gui came down here accompanied by Liu Zongmin and others, he saw the scene where Han Gui and several Xilin scholars were tied up.
It's just that Zhang Gui can't get close to them at this time.
Even though Zhang Gui’s army had advanced firearms, they did not dare to approach easily, and the casualties would only increase, so they could only protect Zhang Gui at the foot of the mountain, looking up at an old monk coming out.
This old monk's Buddha name is "Xu Ye", with long eyebrows and white teeth, red lips and white teeth, he looks like a person with a good life.
After Xu Ye came out, he bowed to Zhang Gui first.
"Old monk, let's talk about it, why do you want to kidnap the students of my grand master and my people from Xichang? This is not what you monks should do."
Zhang Gui asked first.
After hearing this, Xu Ye sneered, and then asked: "Could it be that uncle Guo is only allowed to slaughter tens of thousands of monks wantonly, and I will be guilty of kidnapping someone? The Buddha said that if you put down the butcher knife and become a Buddha immediately, it's not impossible for a monk to do it." Whatever it is, just let it go before you want to become a Buddha. Now, it depends on whether Uncle Guo will give us monks a chance to let go."
"It sounds funny."
Zhang Gui also snorted coldly, and then said: "You should not be real monks. To be honest, what is your origin and why do you do this?"
"Who says we are not monks?!"
This Xuye replied loudly, and then said: "Thanks to the gift of the country's uncle, we have no choice but to change from Confucianism to Buddhist monks. We have already made up our minds to go back to the mountains and forests, worship the Buddha wholeheartedly, and stop asking about worldly affairs. Now I just want Uncle Guo not to disturb our peace."
"So, you kidnapped my people for this?"
Zhang Gui asked.
Xu Ye replied with a smile: "That's right! Don't blame Uncle Guo, we just want to take this opportunity to talk to you."
"What do you want to talk about?"
Zhang Gui asked.
Xu Ye replied: "Uncle Guo is a talented person from the sky. It seems that he has seen the secret of heaven and made the world change to where it is today! Confucianism is no longer an official school, and the etiquette system has been trampled on. The establishment of the imperial court is also powerless to reverse the general situation set off by the uncle of the country. We and other Confucian disciples have to escape into the Buddhist sect and hide temporarily. But presumably the next step of the uncle of the country is to destroy the Buddha. You can enjoy peace and prosperity in the deep mountains of Buddhism. And what we want to talk about is, please stop, uncle Guo, let us have a life, and let Buddhism have a life."
"OK!"
Xu Ye yelled, and asked again: "Uncle Guo, you have already won enough! Why are you obsessed with plowing the last piece of clean land in Buddhism?"
Zhang Gui understood, and knew that people like Xu Ye were essentially landlords and gentry.
It's just because the imperial court is now very strict with officials and gentry, so these officials and gentry's children simply escaped into Buddhism, and in the name of Buddhist monks, they continued to live a pampered landlord life in the temple, continued to lie down and collect rent and interest, and continued to work hard. The tenant farmers of private households who were enslaved and dedicated to the temple.
And these people now want to not attack Buddhist temples, let them go, so that they can continue to live the life of feudal landlords under the guise of Buddhism.
"Do you think you are qualified to negotiate?"
Zhang Gui asked at this time.
At this time, Xu Ye signaled his monks to bring Han Gui and the others over, and smiled angrily: "You are right, we are not qualified, but you can make Uncle Guo pay more cost!"
Then, Xu Ye ordered: "In front of Uncle Guo, shoot Han Gui and these Xilin scholars to death directly with firecrackers!"
"yes!"
The monk soldiers under Xu Ye raised their firecrackers and aimed at Han Gui and the others.
But at this time, Han Gui shouted loudly: "Don't kill me! I'm not some kind of son, my surname is Wang, Master Xu Ye, I am the prince next door to your Ronggui Garden!"
