Chapter 60
There are two temples in Pingkangfang, Bodhi Temple to the east of the south gate, and Yanghua Temple to the north of the street.
These two temples were once prosperous during the Sui Dynasty. After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Li Yuan was influenced by the advice of the Grand Historian Fu Yi and others to suppress Buddhism. He issued a decree to order the monks and Taoists to be rectified. He issued an edict to leave only three Buddhist temples and two Taoist temples in the capital. Only one temple and one temple in each state in the world was allowed to leave only one state.
Bodhi Temple and Yanghua Temple were therefore banned by the court. The monks in the temple either transferred to other temples or returned to their hometowns. The temples that once occupied a wide area were closed and abandoned.
The new Wannian County Magistrate Yu Shinan accompanied Qin Lang to walk around the two temples.
"Where does Huailiang think fit?"
"The two temples are pretty good, there are many large places and many rooms. If you don't think you can just give me both places."
"Huiliang has a big appetite."
Qin Lang smiled and said, "My new peace office is set up, which is a relatively special yamen. In addition to the office space, there must be a prison. These two temples are just one that is used as an office and one that is used as a prison."
When Yu Shinan heard the word "prison", his expression changed slightly, and he sighed and nodded. The new Wannian County Magistrate actually opposed this newly established yamen, thinking that there is no need to build such a yamen, especially if he can still have his own prison. Wouldn't this meant to be separated from the supervision and control of the court?
"The prince said he would cooperate with you with all his strength. Since you want both, take them all."
"Duke Yu, I have a heartless request. I want to ask you to help me with a plaque in the Fufu Department." Qin Lang said with a smile. Yu Shinan is a master of calligraphy. He was from Jiangnan. His father was Yu Li, the prince of the Crown Prince of Nanchen, and his brother was Yu Shiji, the treacherous minister who was one of the five nobles of the Sui Dynasty.
Yu Shiji was the prime minister during the reign of Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty. He was very talented and powerful. However, Yu Shinan lived with his brother, but he was willing to be poor and upright and loyal. He served in the Chen and Sui Dynasty, served as secretary and servant of the living room. He was also appointed as the Minister of the Huangmen by Dou Jiande. Later, he returned to the Tang Dynasty and was appointed as the military officer of the Qin Palace. He was a scholar in the Record Room and the Hongwenguan School. He was in charge of Wenhan with Fang Du and others, and was one of the eighteen bachelors.
Now that Li Shimin is in charge of the government, he has been appointed as the magistrate of Wannian County.
What makes Yu Shinan different from Xu Jingzong, who is also one of the eighteen bachelors is that he is also a very famous poet and calligrapher. Most people need hundreds of stagnants to write an epitaph or something.
"All right."
Yu Shinan knew that writing for Qin Lang would not cost money, so he had no choice but to respond.
"Why are you picking Zhongpingkangfang?" He was a little puzzled. It is logical that Qin Lang was the Wannian County lieutenant before, and it is more appropriate to choose the Zhenfu Department in Chang'an County, West Street.
"Actually, there is no reason. The Crown Princess rewarded me with a house in Pingkangfang. I thought that if the yamen of the tutoring office was also in Pingkangfang, then I would be closer to work in the future."
After hearing this reason, Yu Shinan couldn't laugh or cry.
However, when he learned that the house that the Crown Princess gave to Qin Lang was in the northwest corner, he was even more surprised. The house was the largest house in Pingkangfang. It was originally the house of Li Mu, the Grand Tutor of Shen of the Sui Dynasty. Li Mu was one of the eight pillars of the Western Wei Dynasty. He was as famous as Li Hu, the grandfather of Li Yuan, who was today. He served as Grand Tutor of the Three Dynasties.
This house also occupies a very wide area, occupying a corner of the house, a quarter of Pingkang House. Not to mention the pavilions and pavilions, the rich and rich families were extremely luxurious. However, although the Li Mu family was once glorious, their descendants were unfilial and incompetent during the Sui Dynasty and struggled internally. They eventually got involved in a major rebellion case and destroyed their families. After that, the house was also taken into the royal family.
"Congratulations to Huailiang, that house is really good."
Pingkangfang is close to the imperial city, and it is a gathering of honors and relatives.
Chu Suiliang, Li Jing, Kong Yingda, Zheng Yuanshu and other high-ranking officials, as well as the residences of nobles such as Princess Lanling in the previous dynasty. There are eight houses in the Duke of China, the fifth house in the Princess' Mansion, and more than a dozen houses in the Secretary of the State Council.
But no house gave Qin Lang a large house, and it occupied one-sixteenth of the house.
Pingkangfang is about 1,000 acres in size, and the streets and alleys in the fang are divided into sixteen pieces. Excluding the streets and other parts, each piece is about 50 acres. This Li Mu house directly occupies a corner of the northwest part of the fang, and has a quarter of Pingkangfang, which is a total of 200 acres.
Shortly after Yang Jian built the Zhou Dynasty and Sui Dynasty, he built the new capital Daxing City in the south of the old Chang'an City. The plan was extremely large. After the newly built capital, he directly divided a large area of land for the high-ranking officials and nobles to build their own mansions. Li Mu was the Grand Tutor at that time, and had a high position and a high power, so he occupied one-quarter of Pingkangfang.
Li Mu has a strong family background and has spent a lot of effort to build this mansion.
Li Mu's house is not only big, but also opens the door directly on the wall and connects to Fangwai Street.
The house Qin Lang originally bought for 200 guan in Yong'anfang was only 2 acres of land, not only a small one, but also in the south of the city. Now many shops are still empty to grow vegetables. Pingkangfang is a prime location in the Shangdong District.
Even a free and easy person like Yu Shinan couldn't help but feel a little envious when he heard this.
The house was rewarded by the Crown Princess, saying that it was thanking Qin Lang for saving Hongyi Palace that day. This was a private reward, not a public reward, but a thank you from Li Shimin and Changsun.
Of course, another reason is that the prince has officially issued an order to redeem the eldest daughter of Princess Changle, Li Lizhi, and Qin Lang. Although the princess was only engaged first when she was young, Qin Lang became the emperor's nominal son-in-law of the county horse. As the first son-in-law of Li Shimin and his wife, the crown princess naturally had to give her a good reward.
Qin Lang accepted this generous gift.
Yuchi Jingde even accepted all the money, silk, pearls and jade slaves in the entire Qi Palace rewarded by Li Shimin, and what could he not accept?
In comparison, Chu Suiliang and his son's houses were much smaller. Chu Suiliang's father Chu Liang was a Taichangqing during the Sui Dynasty and was a third-rank nobleman. During the Sui Dynasty, Chang'an was widely located, so he obtained 50 acres of residential land in one town.
Yu Shinan felt very hurt. Although he could collect dozens or hundreds of trump cards for the powerful and powerful, he could not mention the reward compared with Qin Lang. He was no longer interested and he would leave after chatting casually.
Not long after, Yu Shinan sent someone to send the written words.
The three words "Shenfusi" are written as vigorous, powerful, thick and grand.
I found someone to make a plaque and then hung it on the gate of Yuanyanghua Temple on the north side of the street.
When the three-character plaque in Zhenfusi was hung, I immediately felt the huge change in this temple.
In the original Main Hall, the Buddha statues had not been removed yet. Qin Lang sat there and put his legs directly on the table in front of him.
"Have you noticed?"
"I have notified everyone, but I just don't know how many people are willing to come." Ah Huang said.
"It will definitely come. I, Qin Sanlang, summoned them, and there is no reason not to come." Qin Lang said confidently.
Ah Huang smiled, "Yes, there is really no reason not to come after following Sanlang to have meat."
There were only two people in the hall, so they seemed very empty.
Not long after waiting, Wei Zheng rode in on the donkey. He sat swayingly on the donkey's back, and a wine gourd hung around his waist, containing Wei Gong's wine.
"Duke Wei!" Qin Lang smiled and stepped forward to greet him.
Wei Zheng gave up the donkey, "Qin Sicheng, you are my boss now, how dare you?"
"You are my borrowed guest. I'll be here to temporarily serve as the chief clerk of the tutoring department."
"Just come to help."
"I'm not in vain to ask you to help you. The chief clerk's salary is a lot. In addition, I'll give you a sum of servants every month, a coupon, a piece of paper, a piece of paper, a piece of ice, charcoal, a piece of wine, tea, and a lot of money for wine, and a lot of money for tea... Qin Lang said a lot of subsidies in one breath, and Wei Zheng was shocked.
"It's vulgar to withdraw money. I didn't come for money." Wei Zheng waved his hand.
"I know, but I can't just let the horse run away and not let the horse eat grass. I still have to take some hard money."
Wei Zheng looked around a few times, "If it weren't for the Yu Boshi's words hanging on the door outside, I wouldn't believe that this was the yamen of the tutoring officials, Qin Sicheng, what should I do now?"
·······
People are coming one after another.
The originally empty and silent Main Hall soon became lively.
Wei Chang, Li Kai, Zhang Cheng, Zhao An, Liu Jiu, Lin San, Qin Yong, Ah Huang, Ma Zhou, and Wei Zheng together.
"Sanlang summons us to come, what are the instructions?"
Liu Jiu has now been pardoned and has become a free person. He has received a reward before, so his life is very relaxed.
But when he heard Qin Lang summoning him, he came soon.
"Everyone has been resting for a long time, so they should be fully energetic, right?" Qin Lang asked with a smile.
"It's great. Look, I've already gained a lot of weight." Liu Jiudao. He originally planned to return to Hedong, but Qin Lang sent someone to tell him that he would stay in the capital for a while, so he didn't leave.
"It's very good, very good."
·······
"I'm asking everyone to come. Of course, there are still good things. I won't say much nonsense. Let's talk about the first good news first. I saw the prince yesterday. The prince restored my official title. I took advantage of the good mood of your highness to ask for merit and reward for you. The prince responded when he was happy."
"Originally, the achievements of Jingrun will have to be rewarded for a while. Even if we do special tasks, we will first pay for rewards." Qin Lang said, and took out a note of yellow silk paper.
"The prince's order, please obey the order."
Qin Lang read out the reward order in public.
Qin Yong was granted the title of Yongxin founding county, and was awarded the title of the fifth rank, and was awarded the title of the third rank, with a reward of 300 stanchions.
Li Kai was granted the title of Viscount of Kaiguo County, Xinyu, and was awarded the title of the commander of the Light Che, with a reward of 200 stanchions.
Wei Chang, Zhang Cheng, Zhao An, Liu Jiu, Lin San and Huang Biao were all awarded the founding barons. They were awarded the title of the fifth rank and were awarded the title of the cavalry commander, and were regarded as the fifth rank and were rewarded with a hundred cents of money.
After reading, the hall was quiet.
"Why, I'm not satisfied, I think the Lord Xiaoxun is low, or the money is low?" Qin Lang asked with a smile.
Zhao An, who was originally just a small prisoner in Chang'an County Prison, murmured, "Liuyang Kaiguo County Male, Shangqi Duwei, am I dreaming, right?"
Lin San punched him, and Zhao An grinned in pain, but not only did he not feel unhappy at all, but instead shouted excitedly, "Is this true? Is it my title?"
Liu Jiu curled his lips and said disdainfully, "It's just a baron, is it worth it?"
Zhao An shouted loudly, "Of course I deserve such a happy life. I think my family has been the people of Guizhou for generations. I am just a minor official in the county government. I didn't expect that I would have the chance to be awarded a title. Liuyang County man, my Zhao family will become a noble in the future." He was so excited that he shed tears.
I originally thought that it would be good to be able to be awarded the title of the second and third transfers of the medal. If I could mention it and let him enter the inflow, I would be satisfied. Who would have expected that he would be awarded a title?
"Look at Sanlang, the sixteen-year-old Duke of Yiguo, Shangzhuguo, are you so happy to see him that he doesn't know what his surname is?" Liu Jiudao, after all, he was an anti-king man back then, and he was the prince of the Tang Dynasty.
It was a bit surprising that Ah Huang and Qin Yong were both, and they didn't expect that they would also have titles.
"Everyone calm down first, I have another news to announce."
Qin Lang proposed to let everyone join the tutoring department, "If you are willing to come and continue working with me, I will have a position arrangement here, but for the time being, they are all official positions of seven or eighth rank. If you think you are low, you can not come, and I will not force you. If you are willing to join, I warmly welcome you."
Just finished speaking.
"What's there to say about this? No matter how big or small he is, as long as he is following Sanlang, I'm willing." Zhao An patted his chest loudly.
Ah Huang said, "I must have followed Saburo."
Wei Chang was willing, but Li Kai didn't object.
Only Liu Jiu and Lin San did not reply immediately and were still hesitating.
"What do you say about Brother Jiu and Brother Lin?"
"I originally thought I would go back to Hedong and the north, but it should be quite interesting to stay and work with Saburo, so stay."
"Brother Jiu stays, I stays too." Lin San immediately expressed his opinion.
Wei Chang asked, "Sanlang, what are we doing?"
"Director, do you see the plaque outside the door? Here will be the yamen of the downtown office in the future."
"Ministry and Funeral Office? Have you never heard of this yamen?" Wei Chang, as a bad commander in Chang'an, is also a master of everything in Chang'an, but he has never heard of this yamen.
