Chapter 46

In a small wine shop outside Yongcheng, Liu Da looked at Li Ping'an limping in and asked with a smile: "Have you beaten?"

"I've beaten, I've beaten--" Li Ping'an nodded, sat down at the table with relief.

Liu Dadao: "It's good to have a fight, but it's considered a matter of worry. I know Assistant Liu, who is treating a doctor in the city, and I will come to him to ask for a plaster for you in two days. There are few people working in the dock now and no one is in control, so I can make more money."

As he said that, he poured the wine and the two of them drank a bowl together.

In the past few days, almost everyone in Yongcheng has gone to the inspection village. Except for the vicious people who kill and set fire, they mostly beat the matter a few times. When a few people met, they either asked about the inspection village or they had beaten them. Being beaten twice was not a bad thing, but everyone praised them, and the disaster was over.

The two of them drank for a while, and Li Ping'an asked Liu Da: "When I came in, I saw the list text posted outside. I wonder what happened? We who are making a living at the docks have been beaten. Isn't the officials going to have any new rules, right?"

"Brother Li is at ease. It's not a new constitution. Someone told the demons about burning incense recently that it was a chaotic situation. The government investigated it strictly. Brother Li's family is neither vegetarian nor burning incense. What do you care about? It's just a matter of point. If there are people who burn incense and chant Buddha's name among relatives and friends, according to the new announcement, you must go to a temple approved by the court. You are not allowed to form associations privately. Brother goes home and talks."

Li Ping'an was surprised: "We have always burned incense, and most of the imperial courts are generous, why did they suddenly find out?"

"Who knows? I heard that there are northern demons, who were originally from the White Maitreya Sect, and they got involved in the incense burning club to bewitch people's hearts. - We don't eat vegetarian food and chant Buddha's name, so we care about what we do! Recently, everything has been investigated strictly, so don't make friends with people of unknown origin in the world."

Li Ping'an nodded, and after a while, he said with a bitter face: "Oh, my brother doesn't know that my mother has been worshipping Buddha since she was a child. Recently, she has heard of some people and has entered the incense club. She also ate vegetarianism and recited scriptures. Who knows which god they worshiped? I just ate and beat him. Don't be caught in the yamen again because of this. This has been happening since ancient times, why is it going to make trouble now!"

Liu Da was shocked: "This matter is not careless. Go back and ask clearly what kind of god is Ah Mother worshiping and what sutras he recites. If you just eat vegetarian food and worship Buddha, it would be nothing. The ignorant people mentioned in the list article do not know. Those who recite the name of Maitreya Buddha should be careful of the government. The news has been too loud recently, so please tell my Mother not to burn incense or form a club, and recite the sutras at home."

Li Ping'an nodded in agreement, but was still worried. He couldn't read a word, so how could he know what sutra his mother recited? He only knew how to worship Buddha.

Manichi was devoted to the Northwest Hu religion, Khotan and other countries. In fact, the Song Dynasty did not strictly prohibit it. At this time, the Maitreya religion was regarded as a demon religion. However, these two religions have many similarities and are constantly integrated among the people. Many believers do not know which religion they entered. After these secret religions were introduced into the Central Plains, they were mostly based on the name of Buddhism, and ordinary people were even more confused.

Not to mention these ordinary people, Du Zhongxiao was a little confused. If Su Song had not carefully analyzed the doctrine, he would have to register with all the believers in his jurisdiction. In his previous life, the few words that monks often spoke about were "Amitabha". The Maitreya Cult had already combined with other secret religions such as the Ming Cult to form the White Lotus Cult, and few people would chant Maitreya Buddha.

The Central Plains region centered on Chenzhou is the core area of ​​the development and integration of this secret religion. The anti-Yuan Red Turban Army in history was the nearby "Fragrance Society". However, in this era, the Manichaeism centered on "Fragrance Society" was relatively harmless.

With the Ma Meng case as the center, Du Zhongxiao has thoroughly sorted out the nearby civil society and does not want to expand it anymore. Otherwise, people in the jurisdiction will be panic, social instability, land reclamation and other things will be affected. In the end, it will be decided that the matter in Chai Benshan will be reduced in big things, and a little restriction on folk religions will be placed, and the influence of Maitreya religion, which takes rebellion as its cause, is enough to eliminate the influence of Maitreya religion.

At this moment, Liu Da saw a man outside walking by with a chicken and shouted loudly: "Brother Zhu family, come here to drink!"

The man's name is Zhu Xian, and he is also a idle man. When he heard about drinking, he hurried into the store.

Liu Da looked at the chicken in Zhu Xian's hand and smiled and said, "There are fewer idle men on the street now, but my brother's business is not easy to do."

Zhu Xian sighed repeatedly: "It's really hard to do. I haven't made a penny these days, and I'm almost out of the pot. I heard that the place where the farmland opposite is very lively. If this happens, I'll have to go there to work."

"It's good to do, it's better than a chicken today and a fish tomorrow. If no one hops, you can buy it, and you'll have the money."

Liu Da said while pouring Zhu Xian a bowl of wine.

Zhu Xian's daily life is nearby, whether it is chicken or fish, he is holding someone to buy it. He is very capable and can live a life by relying on this. Recently, he started from the Ma Meng case, and everyone was idle and everyone was investigated, and his life became sad.

After drinking a bowl of wine, Zhu Xian sighed heavily: "I'm not afraid of laughing at the two brothers. I'm still from Wu Ada to credit this chicken. Until now, there's not even a price question, let alone someone buys a pounce. The officials have recently remediated the local area, so we are really sad. If the two brothers have any way to make a fortune, I'll take my brothers."

Liu Da laughed and said, "We are all people who make a living by our strength. If you can't do heavy work, how can you bring you a favor?"

Zhu Xian shook his head repeatedly, saw Li Ping'an beside him dejected and asked, "Why is the brother of the Li family so depressed? Did he get beaten in the inspection camp? Which of us hasn't been beaten? Just beating, and the yamen will no longer come to look for trouble in the future."

Li Ping'an shook his head repeatedly: "I really went to the inspection camp to eat and beat him, but I was not worried about this. I just said that I would strictly investigate some evil teachings. My mother at home was eating vegetarian food and chanting Buddha's name, and she learned to burn incense and form a club. I wonder if she had violated the official law and was uneasy."

Zhu Xian patted Li Ping'an on the shoulder and said, "Brother is really a secret. Why does the government investigate the Demon Sect? Because the Demon Sect bewitched people from treason and rebellion, this is a serious crime. Your mother is over 70 years old. Can she still learn from others to rebel? Hurry and feel at ease, let's drink!"

Li Ping'an thought about it, so he relaxed a little and drank a bowl of wine with the two of them.

Liu Da sighed: "Forget it, I think it's not easy to spend my spare time at this wharf. It's better to go to the other side tomorrow and follow them to reclaim the fields. I heard that as long as I am willing to work there, I have food and clothing, and I have money to pay. I work hard. One day, I don't have a day to work at the wharf, and I'll get along with people from all walks of life. Who knows what else did?"

Zhu Xian has not opened these days and nodded repeatedly after hearing Liu Da's words.
