10. Eight service and forty categories
Shanguo stepped forward to pay a gift, but Gao Yue did not dismount, which made Shanguo suffer huge oppression invisibly.
"I'm here for the first time here, monk, please lead the way." Gao Yue stretched out his hand.
As a monk, Shanguo couldn't ride a horse. Although he was unhappy, he had to walk in front of Gao Yue, standing side by side with the dark Wei Tuotian, like a horse hat.
Before he could walk half a mile, Shanguo suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves like thunder. He turned his head to look in surprise and saw hundreds of cavalry in Dingwu Army divided into several routes, rushing down the avenue, running on the ridges of the fields at the foot of Qishan Mountain. The sound of horse whips was terrifying and frightened. Many farmers working in the fields ran around, like quails chased by wolves.
"Mr. Ji, Mr. Ji..." Shanguo was so scared that he was sweating. He quickly turned around and begged Gao Yue not to indulge the cavalry to break the fields of the mountain gate.
Gao Yue frowned, as if he was even more surprised. He pointed at the fields that were within his sight and asked, "Is this the fields of Guishanmen?"
"..." Shanguo felt that it was not good to say yes, and it was not good to say no, so he could only remain silent.
"Is there any field in the anvil base book drawn by Fengxiang Jingjiesi?" Gao Yue asked Fengxiang Yin Xue Baijing loudly.
Xue Bin could only answer that the field of Famen Temple is not within the scope of Jingjiesi painting.
"It's strange, when did you say that the Famen Temple field is not within the scope? Isn't the Sutra Department of the Pu set up to execute the king's law?" Gao Yue's tone became obviously unkind.
Shanguo hurriedly turned his gaze for help to Fengxiang Yin Xue Baijing, thinking that you have visited Famen Temple many times during your tenure. Now you can help me explain.
However, Xue Baijing's face was really pale and he didn't dare to say a word.
In the end, Shanguo could only squeeze out a smile, folded his hands and said to Gao Yue: "King Ji Rong, these fields are the 'permanent fields' given to the mountain gate by the previous Holy Lord."
"How many hectares are there?" Gao Yue was obviously not a person who was easily deceived.
Shanguo shook his head and said with a sarcastic smile that the property in the temple is under Vina’s jurisdiction. As the temple owner, I really don’t know.
"Hmph." Gao Yue sneered, and murderous intent flashed in his eyes, which scared Shanguo's neck shrank.
The dust was flying, and the cavalry of Dingwu Army shouted and gathered in a place that seemed to be a fall in the village, and then jumped off the horse. The people and households in the village did not dare to hide, so they could only serve dry food and drinking water to entertain.
Ming Huaiyi had a fat face, a figure like an iron tower, and a four-headed iron mace hanging around his waist. He asked a household in a rough voice: Why are there such a village around Famen Temple, including fields and water, mule and horse long walkways and carriages, orchards and forests, and so many houses?
"We..." The man asked to answer, but when he saw the good fruit that came in, he was about to shut up.
But Gao Yue was right away and asked the man to answer truthfully.
"We are all pure people at the mountain gate." The family could only say this with a silence.
It took about an hour before Gao Yue's chariot and horse team entered the Famen Temple.
If you don’t come, you won’t know that this Famen Temple is really spectacular and huge!
Just now, the thousands of hectares of fertile land and gardens on the periphery were all other businesses of Famen Temple, and thousands of pure people managed them, and most of the income belonged to the temple.
The temple is even more magnificent, with bell towers, drum towers and long walls surrounding it. Gao Yue stood a courtyard in the temple for people to stay outside. It covers an area of 100 acres, three main halls, dozens of rooms on the left and right wings, and the front and back were surrounded by elm and willow trees. The doors were covered with upright screens, and the mantle was covered with fine carbon ash, which was as shiny as a mirror.
There are towering temples and pagodas everywhere inside and countless monasteries. In fact, there are not only the Famen Temple Tantric Academy, but also the Pure Land Sect Academy, etc., which are connected to a total of twenty-four places. They are called the "Famen Guilin Twenty-Four Courtyards", and are mostly built by Emperor Suzong and Daizong.
Soon, the emperor and Vina Shanrun brought tea sets and hundreds of monks to the main hall of the courtyard to pay homage to Gao Yue.
Gao Yue sat arrogantly on the rope bed, Huo Zhongtang stood beside him, and other Fengxiang, Xingyuan officials and generals were on the left and right - Wei Shang, Shanguo and Shanrun, sat opposite him, and the other monks were separated behind him.
Shanguo kept winking at the two of them, meaning that this Mr. Ji was not a good person, and the person who came was not good.
The superior of Famen Temple is also called the master, which is the superior. This superior is the leader of the temple, who judges all matters;
The temple master is a good cause, and his duty is to manage monks, which is equivalent to the abbot of the Zen temple;
As for Vinaya, he is a good person in charge of temple affairs and economical, also known as "Suizhi".
"I just came from Fufeng County and arrived in Qiyang. It seemed that all the fields in the south of the mountain were industries of Guishanmen?" Gao Yue asked Shanrun directly.
Good at moistening and hesitating.
"Are these fields given by my emperor?" Gao Yue asked the second question immediately.
"As well, there is also a mouth to divide the land." Shanrun stumbled.
"Dog-dividing the land? Are you talking about the land that was issued to monks and nuns, but for so many years, the land that has not been collected and redistributed?" Gao Yue said loudly.
All the monks in the hall were shocked and afraid of changing their colors.
"It was redistributed, but the owners donated them one after another," Shanrun argued.
Gao Yue stood up and said to the people in the entire lobby: "There are nearly ten 'purified rooms' in Guishanmen, with 3,000 people purified people, eight mills and five oil beams (oil pressing workshops), hundreds of vehicles of all sizes, fields, water and fruit trees, and fifty houses in Fengxiang Mansion City, rented as residences, and earned nearly 100,000 chunks of profits every year."
"Mr. Ji..." Seeing that Gao Yue's words became more and more outrageous, he couldn't help but feel sweaty. I hope Gao Yue wouldn't talk about it.
But Gao Yue didn't hear that, "I heard that these pure people planted your fields, so they would give you "Tu Class" every year. The Tu Class is one dou and seven liters per acre of land; and then they would also serve the "Certificate" for the mountain gate every year. There are more than 40 types of bad subjects--the first category is labor service, that is, mowing grass for your Aiyuan Garden; the second category is animal husbandry service, raising mules, horses and camels for you; the third category is hand-force service, rub ropes and leather for you; the fourth category is construction service, building temples and granaries for you; the fifth category is pounding service, making wine for you (the monks in temples in the Tang Dynasty can drink wine), making noodles and pressing oil; the sixth category is mailman, sweeping and ringing bells for you; the seventh category is car service, driving cars and driving boats for you; the eighth category is official service, paving bridges and roads for you."
"Mr. Ji..." Sangang's voice was already very weak at this time.
"Not only that, you also occupy the grinding and oil beams, and give them to the temple residents. One grinding requires ninety-eight stones of wheat every year, and one grinding requires two oils every year."
"Mr. Ji, please take the Buddha's bones!" Wei Shang finally screamed in a hoarse voice.
End this topic quickly!
Gao Yue suddenly looked, sat back on the rope bed, smiled, and said that he was too thirsty just now, and several great monks brought tea sets, so he invited a sip of tea.
Shanguo and Shanrun dared not neglect, so he hurriedly presented the tea set.
"Oh, this tea Luozi is a priceless treasure. Even the Shaofu prison cannot create such a exquisite tea Luo." When Gao Yue pulled out the tea Luo from the tea trunk, he immediately shouted.
Chapter completed!
