Chapter 373
"You said those little eunuchs, I am going to train them well, and then I will find a chance to send them to the palace in the capital."

"Ah?" I was stunned for a moment, and then realized, "Master is going to Beijing?"

"In the future, I will definitely go to Beijing. Now I have the opportunity to play some chess pieces." Wang Xuan nodded. No matter how well the development in Fujian is, the capital of the Ming Dynasty is the real political center. If Xuan's idea is to develop, then it will be a matter of time to go to Beijing, so it is also reasonable to start to settle there early.

"Let's do this." Wang Xuan looked him up and down, and an idea came to his mind, "These dozen or so little eunuchs should be handed over to you to manage, and you will be responsible for teaching them to read and write, and also teach them To practice the evil sword technique, within two years, they must become talents, and then I will send them to the capital through other channels."

"During the past two years, try to let people find their family members and let Yehuo cooperate with you. Of course, loyalty education can't be left behind, no problem."

Green and red lightly flicked her hair and pinned it behind her ears, puffed out her chest and said, "Of course there is no problem, don't worry if you leave it to my master, I'm sure the training is good enough."

"That's it, you can take it away later." Wang Xuan felt relieved to hand it over to Qinghong Zaobai, after all Qinghong Zaobai was also a scholar, and he didn't need the high knowledge of these little eunuchs, teaching them more was just a step up for them , so that they can get ahead faster.

As for the maids who came back, some of them had been trained, Wang Xuan sent them to Baihuamen to train them well, and they could come out to flourish the cultural and entertainment market of Daming in the future... After all, they were all the women of Tang Wang, so they rushed This name can be sold for a good price in the future, right?

As for the other parts that are relatively intact, Wang Xuan plans to reward some capable generals in the army. After all, they are all from the palace. In one aspect, the conditions are indeed much better than many women in the folk, and they are better at serving others.

This can be regarded as some means for Wang Xuan to buy people in the army.

After making a decision, these trivial matters will be handled by the subordinates.

Zhao Zhengyang and Yue Buqun have been following Wang Xuan recently, and Wang Xuan needs to train them well.

Including Yue Buqun, he has abilities, but his vision was too narrow in the past, and he was too accustomed to dealing with problems, which is not conducive to future development.

In Wang Xuan's heart, Yue Buqun's Quanzhen One-line Taoism played a great role.

The same situation also applies to Liu Zhengfeng, a serious member of the Ming army, because Wang Xuan happened to have arrangements for Liu Zhengfeng this time.

The next day, Wang Xuan brought Yue Buqun to the governor's yamen. Seeing Wang Xuan's arrival, the guards at the gate let Wang Xuan in while letting them in to report to the governor. At least in Fuzhou, there was no place that Wang Xuan could not enter. .

Including most of the low-level people in the governor's yamen, they all want to eat Wang Xuan's food.

All the way to the study, Governor Li and Wang Xuan sat facing each other again. As for Yue Buqun, he was responsible for waiting outside the house. Wang Xuan didn't introduce him, and Governor Li didn't ask, but with Zixia's magical skills, the two people in the room couldn't hide what they were talking about. Yue Buqun outside the door.

"In the past few days, the Governor must be very busy." Wang Xuan picked up the tea bowl and said with a smile.

"It's not bad. It's not a burden. The rebellion of the king of Tang has been reported. By the way, Yan Xuezhen's appointments have also been sent to the capital." Ever since seeing the king of Tang being killed , the relationship between the two goes one step further, it can be regarded as a friendship that has carried the 'gun' together.

"Excuse me, my lord. On the other hand, there is the issue of the appointment of the guard commander and his subordinate Qianhu in Quanzhou. I need your help."

"Have you decided on the candidate?" He understood what Wang Xuan was thinking, so he asked directly.

Wang Xuan directly took out a roster list in his hand and handed it over. Li Shantang took it and looked at it briefly, then put it away. Although it may be a third-rank official, but as long as it is a military officer, it doesn't matter, and it doesn't take much effort to arrange it. Just spend a little money and you're good to go.

After all, they are just some vulgar warriors, and they are harmless at all.

"In a while, after the imperial court receives this memorial, there must be a lot of rewards for the lord, and the lord should make plans early."

Li Shantang pondered for a moment before he sighed, "It's hard to tell!"

"I am from Shaanxi. I must have known that most of the officials in the central government are from the south of the Yangtze River. In addition, the land of Qilu and Beizhili will also be divided up. The remaining official positions are few and far between. Duo, even if I have made great contributions this time, it will not be so easy if I want to be promoted!"

"Aside from other things, there is no vacancy just for the position. Even if there is a vacancy, it may not be my turn. The major parties are all staring at me."

Speaking of this, Li Shantang was also a little discouraged. Shaanxi is not only poor, but even fewer people can pass the Jinshi exam every year, so that it is really embarrassing to be in the middle of the court, and they have always been attached to other forces.

"How about this, I will also ask Jin Yiwei to help collect some information. If the collection is too strict, it can be collected in general. In addition, the adults will also see that the position is more likely to be won."

"So what if there is hope? That position is full of carrots and pits."

"Then pull out the radish!" Wang Xuan snorted coldly, if there is a vacant seat, he has to take it, if there is no vacant seat, he has to make a vacant seat!

Li Shantang stared, and looked at Wang Xuan in surprise. He was really surprised that the other party could say such a thing. You must know that everyone is a scholar, and no matter how they do things on weekdays, they will not involve assassination. Even if it is aimed at someone, it is nothing more than participating in a few books and making the other party into a scholar. This kind of manual assassination is not allowed. After all, once the bottom line is broken, the consequences will be chain reaction.

At that time, everyone will be in danger, then everyone will not have to mess around with the court!

Li Shantang couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth when he thought that Wang Xuan even dared to make clear arrangements for the king of Tang. This seemed crazy to him. It was a descendant of the royal family. Although he also participated in it in the end, in the final analysis it was because Wang Xuan's arrangements were relatively clear, and he couldn't stand the temptation of such great achievements, but if he was asked to do it himself, he would not dare to kill him.

"Don't dare to do this in the capital. Once discovered, they will be attacked by groups." Li Shantang hurriedly persuaded Wang Xuan to give up such dangerous thoughts.

"Hahaha..." Wang Xuan waved his hands and smiled, he was just paving the way for Li Shantang, he is not so crazy, he is not crazy.

"Your Excellency may have misunderstood. Of course I know about such things. We don't necessarily need to do things like pulling radishes by ourselves. I value that position. I will be responsible for finding someone to collect all kinds of evidence of his crimes. Either create public opinion in the capital, or engage in some means in his hometown, there are many ways to do this."

"Even if you can't open the gap from himself, you can still open the gap from his family, son, servant, I still don't believe it. There are really a few clean lords in the court."

Hearing what Wang Xuan said, Li Shantang felt relieved, he was really afraid that Wang Xuan would not be able to hold back his hands and run amok.

After he breathed a sigh of relief, he couldn't help but feel hopeful. Wang Xuan's series of statements are highly feasible. If he is a minister, he is worthy of his career for so many years.

Compared with money, he actually desires power more.

"You can't rush this matter for a while, you can only do it slowly. If you have the opportunity, you should do it in time. If you need any support, just ask me. Not only is Shaanxi, Fujian is also your second hometown. With the support of Fujian, which is getting richer and richer, I believe that you will be able to reach the peak again."

Li Shantang's eyes lit up. What Wang Xuan said couldn't be more obvious. He will support him, and he will also contact other aristocratic families in Fujian to support him. Most importantly, he knows what Fujian used to be like. Those big families have limited power. But he also knows how fast it has developed in the past two years.

For these newly rising families, the DPRK and China do not have a wide network of contacts, and they really need support from higher levels.

Looking at the current momentum in Fujian, under the leadership of Wang Xuan, he will climb a few more steps in the future. With this kind of backing, he may not be able to put his fists to good use.

Li Shantang laughed, "Then I would like to thank Zaizhi for his support, and he will surely live up to his elders in Fujian in the future."

The two chatted for a while, and Wang Xuan changed the topic, "I think there are still some things that need to be investigated in the case of King Tang?"

Li Shantang was taken aback for a moment, not understanding what Wang Xuan meant. Isn't the matter of Tang Wang over?

"You may as well say what you mean."

"The king of Tang was bewitched by a demon monk to cause this catastrophe. I think this unhealthy trend needs to be dealt with!" A cold light shot out in Wang Xuan's eyes. Didn't he smash a lay branch of these bald donkeys? He dared to plot against him. I really don't know what is good or bad.

"This..." Li Shantang frowned, and continued after a long silence, "What do you think about Buddhism?"

"Although the imperial court is on guard against Buddhism, it has not suppressed the idea of ​​Buddhism at present. After all, the thoughts of Buddhism can still play a role in calming people's hearts to a certain extent. Even in Fujian, the power of Buddhism is also strong. Don’t underestimate them, don’t look at them who are quite low-key on weekdays, once they burst into power, although they are not as good as the Confucianism, their energy is still not small, you know, these monks can be very united.”

Li Shantang's voice suddenly sank, "If one fails, it will be a catastrophe."

He is also convinced of Wang Xuan, so he can't calm down a bit, he is doing this or that, if it is said that Tang Wang's affairs were brought to him by the other party, then that's fine, but why are you asking for trouble from Buddhism for no reason!
Are those bald thieves so easy to bully the king of Tang?

If one fails, it will be a lose-lose result!
Wang Xuan sneered, "Of course, I have never underestimated those bald energies. There are more than 140 temples in Fujian alone, and there is not a thousand acres of fertile land under that temple. Calculated, there are 10,000+ acres of fertile land alone. , there are more than 5 believer tenants, and this is not counting some wealthy households who have intersected with them."

"If it incites the people, it can easily cause a large-scale turmoil. This is why the imperial court and local governments are unwilling to provoke them."

"This is still in Fujian, a place with nine parts of mountains and one part of land. If it expands to the whole country, hehe, it is definitely not an exaggeration to say that it is the richest group of people."

Wang Xuan has done a lot of investigation on this gang of bald thieves. After all, in history, these bald thieves did not do things once or twice. If there were ten rebellions, this gang of bald thieves would have participated in at least five times... What about Wang Xuan? Dare to underestimate them, after all, know yourself and your enemy and win every battle!
"Since you know you still want to deal with them." Li Shantang looked at Wang Xuan like he was looking at a madman. He didn't realize that this kid was so crazy before. Could it be because he didn't reveal his true nature before.

"How can it be called dealing with that? It is reasonable and legal. Since when did I, Wang Xuan, commit crimes? I have always served the people wholeheartedly and served the country! Don't say anything else, just talk about the business tax and land tax. Mr. Wang is short of a penny."

Seeing Wang Xuan's uprightness, Governor Li is over 50 years old, and he couldn't help rolling his eyes. You, Wang Xuan, don't do anything illegal. This is the funniest joke this year... But when it comes to taxes On the one hand, indeed, he doesn't even know what Wang Xuan is thinking, all over the country, which big family doesn't evade taxes?
"Besides, I'm not going to do any big action. It's nothing more than boiling frogs in warm water!" Wang Xuan chuckled, with an evil look on his face, "It will be too late when they find out."

"Yue Buqun, come in." He yelled loudly outside the house, and when he waited for someone to enter the house, Wang Xuan introduced: "Let me introduce to you, this is Yue Buqun, a fellow of Governor Li."

"I met Governor Li in Xiayue Buqun." After Yue Buqun entered the door, he shook his whisk and gave a Taoist salute to Li Shantang. There is a bit of fairy style.

Governor Li looked Yue Buqun up and down, and said that it is not a big problem to say that he is a fairy. I guess the meaning of it is almost inseparable. This is to push Taoism to counter Buddhism.

This kind of thing is also being done by the imperial court. This is what it means to seal Wudang Mountain many times over the years.

And this is still his fellow villager. In his opinion, Wang Xuan specially found it to take care of his emotions. "Where is this Daoist Immortal Mountain? What is his Daoist name?"

"Don't dare, Pindao is the direct lineage of Quanzhen, the patriarch of this school is Guangningzi among the seven sons of Quanzhen, who was originally a monk on Mount Hua."

Guangningzi is Hao Datong's Taoist name, Li Shantang knows this, and he is also familiar with Huashan, so it is indeed a direct lineage of Quanzhen.

"Yue Buqun is the head of the previous generation of Huashan School. I deliberately persuaded Huashan to reopen the Quanzhen lineage in Fujian. This requires some support from adults. As for the Taoist name, it is called Wuchenzi Bar!"

Wait... Li Shantang and Yue Buqun were taken aback for a moment, looking at Wang Xuan full of astonishment, they called Wuchenzi, okay?

Is this really made up?

Is it sloppy?

"Why are you looking at me like that? Isn't this Wuchen not good?" Wang Xuan glanced at the two of them left and right, and spread his hands helplessly, "I forgot to think about the Taoist name before, isn't this a temporary support scene? Besides, his name is Yue Buqun, which means outstanding, and I am Wuchen, which means not to offend ordinary people, isn't this a good match?"

"Of course, if you feel bad, you can change it!"

Hahaha, Li Shantang laughed suddenly, "Everyone says he is talented, and seeing him today really deserves his reputation, this Taoist name is a good one."

Yue Buqun also played Jishou again, this was requested by Wang Xuan, a Taoist priest should look like a Taoist priest, "Thank you sir for giving me the title!"

Wang Xuan tried his best not to laugh, don't worry, I, Wang Xuan, will never be proud!

Li Shantang nodded slightly, at least Yue Buqun's identity is absolutely fine, and he can definitely handle it.

"How would Zaizhi want me to support you?"

"Not much, just the official approval and publicity. As for the rest, I will naturally take care of it."

"For the Buddhist side, normally speaking, to be a monk also needs a certificate, and you have to register with the Daolu Department, but in fact, these thieves are now bald and dare to call themselves a monk even if they shaved their heads. It’s tantamount to ignoring the laws of the Ming Dynasty.”

"Furthermore, some important criminals wanted by the imperial court also use the name of becoming a monk to escape punishment. Why put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately? If everyone is like this, what is the use of our Ming Dynasty law? This kind of atmosphere must not be promoted!"

"We can use this as an excuse to strictly investigate and crack down,"

"They were the ones behind the King Tang incident this time. Even if they retaliated, they didn't dare to fart. They just took the opportunity to push Taoism up, and then slowly digested them."

"It's not difficult." Li Shantang nodded, "Let me know when the Taoist temple is built."

"Okay, then please, my lord, it's getting dark today, so I'll go back."

After the two exchanged some polite words, Wang Xuan left the governor's office, got in the car and went home directly.

On the way, Wang Xuan looked at Yue Buqun and said, "Recently, you put down other things and concentrate on studying Taoist classics. In fact, I always feel that your Huashan School is fundamentally going the wrong way."

"I also ask the Lord to give advice." Yue Buqun was very humble, and he didn't feel any dissatisfaction when he said Huashan was not good to Wang Xuan.

"You pay too much attention to martial arts. Whether it's Jianzong or Qizong, although Qi training is a must for Taoism, it is really not good as a foundation."

"Why?" Yue Buqun really didn't understand.

"Both Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism have their own core ideas, which are also the foundation of the three religions. However, you who are branches of Taoism have forgotten the importance of thought and started martial arts. This is putting the cart before the horse."

"Look at the Shaomu Temple lineage. They have Luohan Hall, Prajna Hall, Bodhi Temple, Precepts Temple, Demonstration Hall, Repentance Hall, Medicine King Court, Relic Court, Sutra Pavilion, and Bodhidharma Court. Each has a different division of labor. There are those who practice advanced and profound exercises full-time, some who teach disciples full-time, some who specialize in handling secular affairs, some who supervise punishments, some who study Buddhist classics, and some who sort out various classics."

"But you will find that the abbot of Shaomu Temple is basically not from the Bodhidharma Academy. That is to say, whether the abbot is good or not has nothing to do with being the master. It is just a means to protect the inheritance of Shaomu Temple. It will allow the people of Bodhidharma Academy to concentrate on martial arts without being distracted, and it will not let Shaomu Temple go astray as a separate martial arts sect."

"Take you as an example. If you were only allowed to practice, you wouldn't still be as skilled as you are now. Take Linghu Chong and Feng Qingyang as examples. It would be perfect to just be a Taoist protector instead of managing the sect."
