Stepping on the grass with its short, round paws, the red panda led Lin Zhao forward, flicking its plush tail with black stripes. The hook made Lin Zhao's heart sway, and he secretly poked and poked, ready to start masturbating.

But the little panda was very vigilant, every time when Lin Zhao's hand was about to get close, he swung it to the other side.

Soon they arrived at the destination, and the little panda took Lin Zhao to stop on a green field with lush grass and no one stepped on.

In front of them was a huge monster with its back facing them, chewing food, and the crisp chewing sound was extremely loud in this secluded place.

"It turned out to be it."

When the old scalper heard the voice and turned his head to see Lin Zhao, he trembled with fright, pawing his hooves and trying to run away, but was stopped by the little panda in time.

The two intelligent animals did not know what they had exchanged. The little panda turned around and said to Lin Zhao:

"Old Huang said that he was very sorry. He didn't pay attention when he ran away in a panic because the owner was going to send it to the slaughterhouse. He trampled on your seedlings. He didn't know how to make up for his fault."

"I see." Lin Zhao thought for a while, "How about plowing the land for me as compensation?"

The old scalper blinked his big clear eyes, and fluttered his long eyelashes. This kind of compensation was perfect for him. It was great that he didn't cut his flesh and heart. It always wants to kill the meat seller, but now it is like a frightened bird, very afraid of humans.

The little panda told Lin Zhao what it meant, and the old scalper said that he felt very relieved that he could continue to let him do his old job.

"but…"

Lin Zhao's sudden turning point made the old scalper's heart ache again, and the little panda's beard trembled nervously.

"I have to tell your master before that, I don't want to be accused of stealing cattle."

The old scalper shook his head violently when he heard the words, and the little panda also said for it: "No, no! Its owner will definitely kill it!"

Lin Zhao chuckled, "Don't worry, I will buy it from its owner. The price of a mature cow is higher than the price of old yellow beef."

The old scalper was stunned when he heard the words, and tears welled up in his big eyes.

Lin Zhao said that he must do what he said, and after buying the old scalper from the former owner with money, he really just let him plow the land in the temple field at the foot of the mountain.

The old scalper watched the new owner re-plant the seedlings, feeling moved and guilty, and plowed the land more diligently.

Lin Zhao wiped the sweat from his forehead, so the old yellow beef is hard to chew and tastes bad, so why kill it? Anyway, I have worked diligently for most of my life, so let me spend my old age peacefully.

At first he thought so.

It wasn't until the old scalper was fed by Buer and ate Chinese cabbage and radish with relish for a few days, that he seemed to be revived, that he felt that something was wrong.

Is this old scalper really in his old age? Can the old cattle in their later years develop new skills and use their mouths and hooves flexibly to help transplant rice seedlings?

Lin Zhao didn't quite understand it, but it didn't stop him from stroking red pandas.

From the beginning, the little panda struggled desperately to protect her chastity, and now she is laying flat and pampering herself. In addition to Lin Zhao's improving cat-stroking skills, Shantong also contributed to the small snacks specially made for her.

"Abbot, what kind of hall is that in front of the Sutra Pavilion?" The little panda spread into cat cakes asked lazily.

"Oh, that's the Yuantong Hall dedicated to Guanyin Bodhisattva."

The main seat of the Yuantong Hall is dedicated to Guanyin Bodhisattva, the west side is dedicated to Guanzizai, and the east side is Doro, who is also the Tara in Tibetan Buddhism. After the repairs are completed, there will be a red tablet of Yansheng Pufo on the east wall for believers to ward off disasters and pray for Buddha, and a yellow tablet for the dead will be placed on the east wall.

"Then why not repair it first? According to the order of the central axis, the Daxiong Hall is followed by the Yuantong Hall."

"Well..." It's because he plans to repair the other courtyard and the meditation hall first, and after achieving the achievement of 'Fifteen Buildings Repaired', he will directly unlock the Yuantong Hall and let the system engineering team repair it.

Dagong and the others are really too busy, and Lin Zhao is too embarrassed to be tired. They have never had a holiday, starting from the repair of the Daxiong Hall last year, to the Zushi Hall, the Jialan Hall, and now to the other courtyards, meditation halls, and Buddhist scriptures pavilions. .

Now only the other courtyard is left to finish, and the system engineering team can repair the Yuantong Hall, which is parallel to the construction of the Buddhist scriptures pavilion.

Afterwards, it was indeed as he had imagined, when the other courtyard was repaired, a reminder to complete the achievement sounded. Open the interface again, and you can see that the unlock button of Yuantong Hall in the temple construction module is on. Lin Zhao clicked the button and spent a thousand taels of silver, and the system engineering team showed up and arrived.

When the busy workers in the Sutra Pavilion heard the tinkling sound from the Yuantong Hall, they all ran to the front curiously to have a look, only to find that the abbot invited another team of craftsmen, and they were very surprised.

Inevitably, there was a feeling of rivalry in my heart, and I carefully observed this team of colleagues, trying to find their loopholes, but was inspired by their rigorous and meticulous attitude. For a while, there was only the sound of workers beating one after another in the temple.

The masters who repaired the Sutra Pavilion also went to observe during their breaks, and found that some of their construction techniques were much more advanced than those taught by the masters at this time, so they inevitably wanted to learn from them. It's just that the master worker who led this team of craftsmen was too serious. He didn't have a chance to get close. He even wrote and drew on the paper when he was resting. The building structure was shocked.

Behind it is the professional exchanges and collisions in the architectural circle, and in the front is the exchange of words between old and new pilgrims.

"What, it turns out that this temple is still being repaired..." A pilgrim who came all the way from Kyoto sighed in disappointment.

"The abbot here is amazing. Since last summer, it took only half a year to repair most of the dilapidated temple. I think there was only a statue in the Temple of Heavenly Kings, not even a futon." The old man next to him The pilgrim was a nearby villager who heard his sigh and couldn't help saying.

"I see, that's really amazing."

"Not only that, but the abbot is a man of great fortune. It is said that he may be the reincarnation of the Buddha." As if aroused by the desire to share, the old pilgrim talked to him about some of Lin Zhao's deeds, " The fast food here is different, many people want to live here, but unfortunately the seats in the dormitories are already scheduled for next year, I suggest you ask the abbot for a consecration when you leave..."

After some "science popularization" by the old pilgrim, the face of this pilgrim from Kyoto showed sudden enlightenment, amazement, admiration, expressions... etc. It is obvious that the door to a new world has been opened.

At this time, an eagle flew over their heads and stood still on the roof of the hall, as if it was a ridge beast carved by the craftsmen during construction. It is a very auspicious sign that the eagle descends on the golden summit. The pilgrim from Kyoto was about to talk to the old pilgrim when he saw a strange creature appearing on the Taihu stone in the lotus pond. It goes out!

Seeing his surprised eyes, the old pilgrim said clearly: "I'm surprised, the temple attracts these spiritual animals for some reason, probably because the temple itself is very rich in spiritual energy."

Lin Zhao, who was inspecting the rice fields at the foot of the mountain, was thinking about whether to make a scarecrow to scare the surrounding birds. In order to prevent another accident in the rice fields this time, he even built a shed next to it for the monks in the monastery to People take turns on duty.

At this moment, the transplanting of rice seedlings has ended, and with the sunshine and Lin Zhao's unremitting fertilization and cultivation, they have begun to produce emerald green ears of rice.

Sitting under the hut, Lin Zhao was admiring the sight of the green waves being blown by the wind, and thought about reporting the yield per mu to the emperor when it matured, so that he could promote high-yielding rice varieties to the whole world. The ordinary rice seeds of the dynasty are much stronger.

The emperor, who is remembered, is also tirelessly making arrangements for defeating the traitor today. He wants to change the salary system that he has been mentioning before the court meeting!

In the quiet and solemn hall, the newly appointed Minister of the Household Department moved to the center, please change the salary system that follows the previous dynasty.

As soon as his words came out, thousands of waves were stirred up in the turbulent court hall. The hall was still quiet and solemn, but the smooth marble floor honestly reflected the restless expressions of the ministers.

Their mouths did not move, but their eyes exchanged enthusiastically. If the voices of their hearts could be released, the court meeting at this time would probably be comparable to a noisy market.

After the emperor asked them to speak freely and express their opinions, these usually prudent and dignified ministers were suddenly more excited than the aunts and ladies in the market. The sleeves are up.

The leftist faction resolutely resisted the reform of the salary system. However, due to the defection of the neutral team and some unreliable followers, the one-sided situation in the past changed instantly. In the end, the emperor won the victory with a slight advantage. The treatment of the new salary regulations compiled rewrote the salary system of this dynasty.

Prime Minister Zuo secretly gritted his teeth. If it wasn't for the fact that the private salt business hadn't been cut off, causing those officials to defect, they wouldn't be so passive today, and Liu Wenbi had the upper hand!

Today's court meeting seems to be a signal. The emperor's recent frequent actions have cast an ominous shadow over Zuo Xiang Qin Zhou's heart. The recent changes in the situation are not good for him.

Qin Zhou sat at the head and listened to the report of his subordinates.

"The emperor summoned the Tanhua whom he personally appointed to come to him many times, saying that he was going to study and talk about the rituals of Zhou, but he happened to push back the left and right eunuchs. Our people didn't know what they were discussing inside. Not only that, some of the Chongwen Museum People are also called into the palace from time to time, and some are directly appointed and placed in the six departments."

Prime Minister Zuo tapped the table with his fingers steadily and rhythmically. He was thinking about the deployment in his mind, and finally said to his subordinates, "Forget about these things, it's useless to have many counselors and rulers in front of...," his whisper was vague. After dropping that word, even the subordinates in the hall couldn't hear clearly, "How is the person who asked you to contact?"

"The subordinates have already reached a preliminary cooperation with him, and I believe that we will be able to win him onto our ship soon."

"Very good." Qin Zhou showed a satisfied smile upon hearing this.
