Chapter 744
Everyone also understood what Zong Xin meant. If it weren't for Zong Xin, Shouan would not have married Zhang Yongde. Moreover, if she dared to leave Taiyuan, her life would be in danger and the child would not be born smoothly.So there is nothing wrong with Zong Ren's words, but he is afraid that it will be awkward.

But both Zhang Yongde and Shou'an could see that Zong Xin liked this child very much, and they wanted to accept him as an apprentice as soon as they saw him.This was the happiest thing for Zhang Yongde and Shou'an. There were so many happy events today that Zhang Yongde and Shou'an could hardly accept it.

"Zhang Qizi? This name is very strange. Does it have any meaning?" Tianya knew that everything his master said and did had meaning.

"I can't tell you for now, let's go to work with Master. Have you memorized the distillation process I told you along the way? I'm going to make a distiller next time. I guess I will fail many times, and I will be very tired. You are the same now. He's a big guy, how busy he should be?" Zong Xin looked proud, and walked forward while stroking Tian Ya's little bald head.They are going to make stills right away.

Tianya said depressedly: "Okay, I'm quite interested in this kind of thing anyway. But I'm still a child now, don't call me a young man."

"It's not too young, do you know that many boys your age are married? I think your master was carried into the temple after being injured at about your age, and stayed in the temple for three years. You know that I have been in the temple for three years Did you suffer a lot? I saw that every female almsgiver who came to offer incense is very beautiful." Zong Xin also remembered his situation in the temple a few years ago, and he had been away from the temple for four or five years, and he didn't know that Master was relieved. I don't even know if he is dead or alive.

Bai Yu said: "Master, I have been to Lingyun Temple before, why didn't I see you then?"

"Male Big Eighteen Changes, maybe you have seen me, but you didn't remember it at the time. After all, at that time, everyone wore the same clothes, all had bald heads, and were about the same age. I stood with a dozen or so brothers. You may not Know who is who."

Bai Yu nodded, the biggest characteristic of a monk is his bald head.Many times I look at the bald head first, and when a dozen or so bald heads stand together, their faces can be ignored.

"The current Lingyun Temple is full of incense, because everyone knows that there is an eminent monk Zongxin in Lingyun Temple. Although you have an enmity with Meng Chang of Shu Kingdom, the people of Shu Kingdom are very proud. Because Master Zongxin came from The eminent monk who came out of Shu, if Meng Chang hadn’t been obsessed with ghosts for a while, maybe he is the one who is now fighting for world hegemony.”

Of course Bai Yu was very clear about what Meng Chang had done, Wu Yan Hongyu had scolded Meng Chang many times in front of Feixuan Sanren for this matter.Sometimes Bai Yu was beside him, but what was strange was that Master Feixuan Sanren behaved very strangely, a little proud and a little embarrassed at the same time.

Feixuan Sanren and Lei Hong had a passionate time. Zong Xin was Lei Hong's son, but he didn't know who his mother was.Mount Emei is so close to Jiazhou... Baiyu suddenly had a very strange idea, which he had never thought of before, but when he suddenly thought of it, he felt a chill down his spine.

"Zong Xin... have you met your mother?"

"Why? Want to greet her through me?"

Bai Yu said coquettishly: "I hate it~ I was thinking about a question. I think you look a little like my master, and the relationship between my master and Lei Hong is also very complicated, and Mount Emei is so close to Lingyun Temple. If explain……"

"Don't think about it, I'm definitely not your master's son." Zong Xin immediately denied Bai Yu's guess. If he was really Lei Hong's son, there might still be a little possibility.But Zong Xin knew very well that he was not Lei Hong's son, he just deceived him with a small trick.Recognizing relatives with blood is simply a superstition, and there was really no other way at that time, Lei Hong's martial arts were too high, Zong Xin couldn't think of a chance to survive except for recognizing his father.

Fortunately, his blood was fused with Lei Hong, otherwise none of the following things would have happened, and he would have been beaten to death by Lei Hong a few years ago.

"Master Zongxin, there is something I don't know whether I should say."

"bad thing?"

Zhang Yongde nodded, this matter is really bad, but it has nothing to do with the people present, and Zong Xin can't stop it.

Zhang Yongde said: "It's like this. There was a severe drought in the south this year, and the disaster areas were mainly concentrated in the border of Datang. Li Jing of Datang immediately started casting dams, but it failed completely. These two things greatly affected the economy of the treasury and the economy of Datang. People's livelihood, now the national strength of the Tang Dynasty has been seriously affected, and the Dugu clan is also feeling a headache because of the reduction in grain production."

"Does the Dugu Clan have any losses?" Zong Xin knew that what Zhang Yongde wanted to talk about was not the disaster of the Tang Dynasty, because the disaster of the Tang Dynasty had nothing to do with Zongxin, only the Dugu Clan had a close relationship with Zongxin, so this matter It must be related to the Dugu valve.

"Indeed, if it was just a drought, the Dugu Clan would at most reduce grain production, and it wouldn't have much impact. But... the Dugu Clan always likes to do good deeds and allocate food for disaster relief. The Gaoliang field caught fire, and the efforts of the Dugu clan for so many years were burned. Now all the grain fields of the Dugu clan have been burned. After the winter of this year, the Dugu clan has no grain to sell to anyone. Now even the Dugu clan needs to go to other places buy food."

Zong Xin nodded and said: "It is inevitable to encounter such a thing after planting so much grain. What's more, after the straw is burned, it can be used as fertilizer. If it is cultivated again, it will grow thick and strong next year. This is not a big deal."

"Of course, for the Dugu Clan, it's not a big deal not to produce food for a season, but Li Jing, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, has always believed in the golden saying of killing you while you are sick. He used various methods to suppress the Dugu Clan. Take all the fields of the Dugu Clan as their own, and then send heavy soldiers to guard them. Now the Dugu Clan except for the circle of land outside his own house, the rest of the land belongs to Li Jing. And Li Jing named the Dugu Clan's disciples As an official, let them supervise the cultivation of grain. Today's Dugu Clan is very uncomfortable, because a large circle outside is full of Li Jing's soldiers. As long as Li Jing gives an order, these soldiers will attack the Dugu Clan. Thousands of troops. Although I don't think Li Jing will do this, but the current Dugu Clan has basically been annexed by Li Jing, and Li Jing also has enough treasury for this reason."

Zong Xin said depressedly: "Why is Li Jing even more shameless than me? It's okay to be shameless, isn't he willing to die? Dugu Feng and Dugu Huang are both top masters, it is not difficult for these two brothers and sisters to assassinate Li Jing."

"That's true, but there is something new in the Dugu clan." Zhang Yongde said awkwardly: "Dugu Feng is pregnant. In order to save Dugu Feng, Dugu Feng did not dare to fight with Li Jing. And Li Jing used Duguhuang acquired the land of Dugu clan by legitimate means, so Duguhuang had nothing to say. It was his own management that had problems. Although Duguhuang is a master of martial arts, his brains are not as good as those of the cunning Li Jing. Scammed him out of all his money and land."

Zong Xin took a deep breath and said: "Based on this situation, Li Jing caught Aunt Feng's pregnancy and deliberately made things difficult for the Dugu Clan. Then he used despicable means to take away his land from Duguhuang. Duguhuang Dare to be angry but dare not speak out. After all, Aunt Feng is pregnant, and Dugu Huang is also afraid that Li Jing will forcefully send troops. So what is the situation now? Are all the people in the Dugu Clan dead? "

"Master Zong Xin, why do I feel that you are very happy..."

"Aunt Feng is pregnant, it's a good thing, of course I'm happy." Zong Xin said with a smile: "Go ahead and talk about how the Dugu Clan is doing."

Zhang Yongde said: "There is nothing wrong with me, but most of my disciples have been won over by Li Jing, and now the Dugu Clan is very lonely. With villains like Li Jing suppressing them, the Dugu Clan must find other ways to prosper again. .”

Zong Xin smiled and said: "Hahahaha, good thing, good thing. Li Jing has become the largest grain merchant in the world, so the people of the Dugu Clan will be free? It's time for me to visit another father-in-law. Wait for the things here to be done." After finishing, I will go to Datang immediately to comfort them."

Zhang Yongde glanced at his wife Shouan, and didn't know what to say.I thought Zong Xin would be very shocked when he heard the news, and then he would be angry.As a result, instead of being angry, Zong Xin smiled happily.Zhang Yongde really couldn't understand Zong Xin's mind because of the unpredictable behavior of an expert.

Zong said: "Tianya, do you know what I'm thinking?"

"Of course I know. The Dugu Clan gave up all their properties to Li Jing, brought a little money and went directly to Da Zhou. Then they found a random place and let them grow their own grain and make wine by themselves. It may not take two or three years. The power and financial resources of the Dugu Clan will be far better than ever.”

"My apprentice understands me." Zong Xin could tell that even Ning An and Bai Yu hadn't figured it out, but Tian Ya understood what he was thinking when he heard it, and he was indeed his own apprentice.Since the Dugu clan is good at growing grain, let them grow their own grain, and then use the grain to brew wine, prepare all the equipment and technology, and let the Dugu clan start brewing wine in Dazhou.

This kind of wine will definitely be popular throughout the Central Plains, and it will even be more profitable than Yandao at that time. Even if Zong Xin takes the big head, the Dugu clan will make a lot of money. After they have money, they can rebuild the Dugu clan.At that time, the Dugu Clan will be much more powerful than before.

It was a mistake for the Dugu Clan to grow grain outside Jinling City, and the ancestors did not allow them to raise the price of grain.Although the Dugu Clan has also made a lot of money and has a high status in the arena, the whole thing is a burden. Since Li Jing is willing to carry this burden, let him do it. be liberated in.

When all the Dugu Clan moved to Dazhou, choosing a place closer to the north to grow grain and brew wine would not only allow Zongxin's plan to be realized as quickly as possible, but also sell the Dugu Clan a favor.Of course Duguhuang is happy, he is the only one in the world who can make this kind of wine, and all the wine merchants in the Central Plains will go to him to buy wine.
