After Dong Bazheng led the defeated Hedong Army to walk thirty miles west, he collided with the left army of Tiande who had secretly sneaked in a place called Songlindian. Bayi      Chinese★ Network W★w★W    .

★8√1    z★W.

When CoM Qiu Shiliang instigated Shuofang, Hedong and other towns to attack Tiande Army, he did not forget the mistakes of the trapped Fengzhou. He sent a secret envoy to meet the mistakes of the mistakes of the night, and promised that as long as he raised an army to eliminate Meng Bochang and Yang Hao's rebellion, he would be appointed as the deputy envoy of the Tiande Army and the governor of Fengzhou.

Bo Si Jing felt isolated and helpless, so he agreed without hesitation. After learning that Dong Bacheng had crossed the river to attack Feng'an City, Bo Si Jing immediately rose up and advanced eastward to reap the benefits of the fisherman in the name of helping the war. In order to cover up the people's thoughts, the Left Army, who was under the banner of Yongfeng's Right Army, mistakenly believed that the Hedong Army, which had become a frightened bird, was mistakenly considered by Meng Bochang's reinforcements.

The two strong men met and the brave won, and Dong Bazheng took the lead. The Hedong army had just suffered a great defeat. It was the time when there was no place to vent their grief and anger. Don’t think about it and became their object of venting, and there was no way to vent their grief and anger. There was a lot of pain in their hearts. The Songlin Store was surrounded by dense black pine forests, and in the middle was a clearing of grasslands of thousands of acres. Three thousand grief and angry Hedong elites and four thousand well-trained strongmen outside the border came to a battle of dragons and tigers. After more than an hour, the Songlin Store’s just green grassland was dyed red by blood.

Dong Bazheng learned that his opponent was not thinking about his past, and he was like swallowing a green-headed fly, and he was in tears for a moment. He ordered his withdrawal from the battlefield, and the Hedong Army calmly retreated to the northeast. The exhausted Wu Thinking about his past helplessly gave up the plan to attack Feng'an and rushed back to Feng'an.

After Wu Ming learned the result of the battle at Songlindian, he couldn't help but smile. He was usually a mature and steadfast and patted Yang Hao: "Mr. Yang is really a blessing in all kinds of good fortune. I think the hope of reviving the Tang Dynasty will fall on you!"

Everyone speculated that Dong Bacheng would go west and go back to the west after his defeat, or cross Henan to the south. Unexpectedly, he led two thousand remaining troops to the northwest to take advantage of the vast night to bypass the heavy Jiuniang Pass, which was guarding heavily, and suddenly rushed to the unprepared Tiande Army governor Wang Qian. The panicked Wang Qian left the army and fled back to the capital of the capital alone. Dong Bacheng gathered Wang Qian's troops to obtain more than 10,000 troops, and went straight to attack the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of the capital of

Dong Bazheng sieges the city of Sui Jiang but did not attack, so he sent a surprise soldier to suddenly attack Dongshou Jiang City. Dugu Chang, the governor of Zhenwu Army who joined forces with Wang Qian to advance westward, learned that Wang Qian was defeated and Dong Bazheng occupied Dongshou Jiang City. He was afraid that Dong Bazheng would take advantage of the emptiness behind him to occupy the territory of Zhenwu Army, so he retreated overnight to defend the foundation.

———

The imminent danger was instantly relieved, and the ecstasy from the heart was like passing clouds.

Life still has to go on, but what is in front of us is a crumbling mess. Feng'an soldiers and civilians died in battle, injured 3,600 people, and thousands of houses and shops were demolished. Because the trade routes of war were cut off, tens of thousands of people in the city suddenly cut off their livelihoods. Yang Hao was so poor that he did not even pay the salary of hundreds of officials in one state and two counties.

Meng Bochang sent 50,000 taels of silver, barely remitted the salaries of officials and the pensions of the injured people. At the beginning of the war, it was natural that the stability of the officials and the hearts of the people would be put first. However, there were still many holes that could not be filled. The most urgent thing was to delay the military pay for three months. At the beginning of the year, in order to stabilize the morale of the army, Meng Bochang increased the salary from one tael of 1,800 cents per month to two taels, and a liang of silver would be placed at the end of each quarter.

Feng'an now has two battalions of the Right Army, the City Camp and the Guard of the Governors, with a total of 2,800 people. In addition, the 3,300 soldiers stationed at Jiuniang Pass need Feng'an to pay half of the military salary, which means that in early April, Yang Hao had to pay 31,110 taels of silver at one time. The problem now is that there are only 328 taels of silver in the bank warehouse, and buying rice and making porridge is enough, and the salary is even more fantasy.

Yang Hao and the officials in the state discussed for a day and night, and decided to demolish the wall along the street of the left-behind mansion and sell the land to the merchants in the city. The walls along the east and north of the left-behind mansion are two miles long, and one mile long suitable for shops, which are both prime locations that are suitable for business and liveable. The notices for selling shops were hung out immediately attracted many people to come to negotiate. Within a few days, the foundation of more than 30 shops were sold, and the silver was 3,000 taels.

But compared with 30,000 taels of money, this is like a drop in the bucket. Yang Hao took the second method to borrow from wealthy merchants in the city. The high interest rate was comparable to usury. Officials from the governor's office took IOUs to travel to every household in the city with a property of over 1,000 taels. But one is that Feng'an City is too small and there are not many wealthy merchants. Secondly, they are in troubled times and wars are frequent, and the Feng'an City Lord exchanges for exchanges like a lantern. You said the interest rate is high, but who can guarantee that I can get the interest? So I won't lend it to you if I have money. Hundreds of officials have raised a total of 4,800 taels in three or five days.

Seeing that the salary date was getting closer, Yang Hao took Cheng Keling and Guan Suo, who had just arrived from Yongfeng, out of the city in casual clothes. There was a Xiangfu Temple in the north mountain of Feng'an City. There was a thousand monks, and there were more than 10,000 acres of land in the forest farm. Yang Hao came here to lend money to the host of Xiangfu Temple Elder Fuyuan. Before that, Yang Hao had sent Guan Suo to the temple as a pilgrimage to carefully survey and touch the family of Xiangfu Temple. In addition, Yang Hao also privately reviewed the files stored in the prefecture yamen and talked to several Feng'an veterans. He learned that although Xiangfu Temple was a place outside, it was rich, so it should be easy to lend him 30,000 to 50,000 taels of silver.

Yang Hao did not inform other officials during this trip, but he had Feng'an's official seal in his arms. As long as the monks were willing to help, the interest rate could be higher, and other conditions could be given up.

Xiangfu Temple occupies a mountain top, and looking up from the bottom of the mountain reminds Yang Hao of a poem: "Looking back at Chang'an, there are piles of embroidery, and thousands of gates on the top of the mountain are opened in sequence." The building scale of this Xiangfu Temple is no less than that of the royal palace courtyard, and it is definitely one of the top three cities in Fengzhou.

Yang Hao couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect that the monks were so rich, were they donated by Tan Yue or just the income from tickets? Do you pay taxes on weekdays?" Guan Suo was eager to show off his talent, "My Tang Dynasty royal family believed in the teachings of Laozi and Zhuang, but did not abolish Buddha. When Emperor Gaozu was Emperor Gaozu, the world was settled, and people were in trouble. Minister Fu Yi wrote a letter to list the evils of Buddhism and asked to abolish it. Emperor Gaozu of Tang once issued an edict to eliminate monks and nuns, but it did not prohibit it. Taizong's regent,

The world was amnesty, and Buddhism became popular. Emperor Gaozong, Zhongzong, and Ruizong both believed in Sakyamuni. When Empress Wu was in power, she built Buddha statues, built Mingtang, and cultivated Tianshu, and Buddhism became popular in the world. The majestic and magnificent temples were comparable to the palaces. As for Emperor Suzong, hundreds of monks were raising monks in the palace during the Daizong period. Monks and nuns were punished and officials were not allowed to "swalking monks and nuns". As a result, for hundreds of years, the Sakyamuni temples were spread all over the world, and today half of the wealth was in the temples."

Cheng Keling also said anxiously: "These thieves claim to be outside the world, do not pay taxes, and do not serve as soldiers. They are idle all day long, and they are simply a group of borers. I heard that there are many secret rooms hidden in Xiangfu Temple, which contains many beautiful women. The thieves and bald people eat and drink and enjoy themselves in the temple, which is very unbearable. I think they should really find an opportunity to cure them."

Yang Hao laughed and scolded: "It's heard from you, don't talk nonsense. We are going to borrow money, not to grab money. When we enter the mountain gate, we are more polite."

Cheng Keling felt embarrassed when he touched his head, but Guan Suo laughed secretly. Yang Hao scolded Guan Suo again, "Especially, don't think that you have read a few books and think that you know everything in the world." Guan Suo was scolded and drooped his head. Cheng Keling was so happy that he laughed.

Two sweeping monks on the stone steps in front of the temple were giggling. Seeing Yang Hao and the other two coming, they didn't look at each other. Cheng Keling was so angry that he was about to do it, but suddenly remembered Yang Hao's instructions and said patiently: "Two masters, please inform us, Feng'an Governor Yang Hao comes to visit."

A monk glanced at Cheng Keling and said impatiently: "What Yang Hao, the governor of Feng'an is surnamed Liu, don't talk nonsense here." Another sneered: "Don't look at where this place is. You dare to come here to cheat and cut you alive." Guan Suo smiled and said: "I wonder, are you a temple where monks practice or a mountain village that is occupied by force, are you Shakyamuni disciples or a mountain king who takes money?"

The two monks were ashamed of being embarrassed by him, and they both jumped up and picked up the bamboo broom and were about to knock on Guansuo. Cheng Keling drew his sword and shouted, "Do you want to do it?"

"Stop it." A big monk with a fleshy face at the temple gate shouted, following him, and a group of beautiful old monks. When the two sweeping monks saw the big monk, they hurriedly retreated aside.

"The new Feng'an governor Yang Hao came to visit Elder Fuyuan." Yang Hao held the ceremony very respectfully.

"The abbot has expected that the envoy Yang will visit today, so he ordered the young monk to wait here. The stubborn man rudely asked the envoy to be with him." The great monk was so vicious, but he was still polite.

"I dare to ask for the mage's name."

"This is Master Conquer Sheng of our temple." A thin monk with long eyebrows replied flatteringly.

Although the monk is a foreigner, he has his own rules in his place. In addition to the abbot as the leader of the temple, there are also seats, western hall, back hall, hall master and other classes, supervisors, wise guests, Vina, Dianzu, Liaoyuan, robe, secretary, monk and other deacons to assist the abbot. The position of the seat is second only to the abbot, and is often served by those who practice both virtue and career in the temple. He leads the example of the jungle, assists the abbot, the eyes of the human and heaven, and enlightens the achievements of Houkun.

Monk Lisheng led Yang Hao into the mountain gate, and then passed through the Sanshan Hall to reach the abbot's room. It turned out that Elder Fuyuan was nearly 80 years old and had difficulty in getting out to welcome him.

Yang Hao looked at the thin-haired old monk and thought to himself: "This looks like a kind of master of Taoism."

When the guest and the host sat down, a novice monk presented incense tea. Yang Hao said straight to the point: "We are here to visit the Taoist master, and the other is to ask for something. But it is a little difficult to speak for a while." Elder Fuyuan smiled and said: "Your no need to be troubled, the old monk already knows everything." When Fuyuan said this, the monk standing beside him placed a signing bill and a loan note in front of Yang Hao.

This is a loan note of 30,000 taels of silver and a signing of 1,000 taels of silver. Yang Hao was slightly shocked and said quietly: "The old monk is indeed a master of enlightenment, but Yang still carries a loan note. Does the old monk want to see it?"

Elder Fuyuan shook his head, "Feng'an was settled, and all destruction was waiting for development. The envoy put the people first, and gave all the treasury to the people. He was very grateful to the old monk. The 30,000 taels of silver were obtained from the sale of mountains, forests and fields. It was the future food and clothing of the monks. The old monk did not dare to give it to the envoy for free. But how could he dare to attach interest to exploit the people? This thousand taels of silver was sincerely saved and helped the envoys to help the poor."

Yang Hao stood up to thank him, and was about to ask Guan Suo to use the seal, but his resilience was superior: "Wait, please ask the envoy Yang to sign it in person." Guan Suo said: "Is the seal of the official family not trustworthy?" Elder Fuyuan smiled and said: "Don't be surprised, don't be surprised, the jungle is outside the country, and you dare not have any connection with the official family. This money will still be settled on the envoy in the future."

Yang Hao smiled and said, "It is rare that the great monk can trust Yang Hao, so I will beg me to draw this." After signing the custody and completing the delivery. Guan Suo asked, "We are waiting for the rice to be put into the pot. When will the monk ship the rice to my warehouse?" Li Sheng said, "There are many people in the daytime, and I will make a payment at the North Gate tonight." Guan Suo sneered, "Monk, don't breach the contract." The monk smiled and said, "Monks, don't lie."

Yang Hao and Elder Fuyuan sat for a while, but felt that although his words were simple and unpretentious, they often had exquisite and profound arguments. They were determined to get close to him, but they could not stay for a long time in the city. So after drinking two cups of tea, they stood up and said with a little reluctance to say goodbye. Elder Fuyuan saw through his scheming and said, "There is a door in the jungle, and the Buddhist gate is locked. If you come again, you don't have to knock on the door. Just go straight into the abbot." Yang Hao thanked him and went down the mountain to return to the city.

It was Ye Hai, and Guan Suo, Cheng Keling and Feng'an Si Cao and other officials handed over 31,000 taels of silver with Li Sheng outside the north gate. An imminent financial crisis was concluded here.
