Chapter 76       The Golden Feather Emperor vs. Xiao Zamao!

The so-called evil fire phoenix is ​​the small miscellaneous hair that was originally.

The other chicks grow and the more beautiful they grow, but the smaller the hairs become, the more ugly they look. Not only are the five-color feathers covered with green, red, purple, soap and white feathers, they are also distributed unevenly, and they are messy, like a cheap big feather duster!

It's not bad, but it's very lazy. When the white bun was carried out, this guy was sleeping soundly with his neck and didn't have the energy to fight cocks at all.

In this way, the handsome old guy and others laughed: "Yulang, did you mean to give in? You actually sent such a miscellaneous chicken to the battlefield. Haha, let's pick one of the other fighting cocks!"

"Senior, don't laugh, you will know how powerful it is in a while... Little Zamao, wake up and it's time to work... wake up and have some wine to drink!"

Li Zhao patted Xiao Zamao and tried to get it to the ring to compete, but this guy just refused to get up and buried his head deeper.

People who pretend to be asleep will never wake up, and so will chickens!

In desperation, Li Zhao had to take out the wine gourd and pour some Erguotou into his palm... When he smelled the wine, Xiao Zamao immediately stretched out his head and drank it clean soon.

In order to kill insects, Li Zhao added a little bit of white wine to the chicken feed. Unexpectedly, he cultivated the little macadamia into an alcoholic, and his addiction became increasingly important. Now if he didn't give it some wine, he would never do anything.

"Go up and defeat your opponent, and give you another two taels of wine, understand?"

"Hehe!"

After drinking the wine, Xiao Zamao instantly became energetic, spread her wings and jumped into the arena, confronting the Golden Feather Emperor... One is like a phoenix, and the other is just an ugly Zamao chicken. Such a competition is rare!

“Hehe—hehehe!”

After a moment of confrontation, the Golden Feather Emperor first launched an attack... Looking at the little macaque chicken, there was no sign of fear. His neck stretched, his wings closed, and he screamed loudly. Then... he turned around and ran, with an extremely fast speed!

This situation made everyone stunned.

You should know that cockfighting is brave by nature. Even if you encounter a strong opponent, you will rush up to fight for a few rounds. If you lose the battle, you will not be embarrassed... If you are wrong, you will not throw away the chicken. If you escape without fighting, you will throw away the chicken!

It is probably the first time that a big girl gets into the sedan chair like Xiao Zamao!

What was depressed was that although Xiao Zamao fled without fighting, he had no choice but to use it, because according to the rules, he fell to the ground by fighting cocks and completely lost his combat power, or escaped from the ring before losing.

Although Xiao Zamao ran away desperately, he did not escape from the ring, but turned around the circle back and forth, so he could not be judged to lose and could only continue the competition.

The Golden Feather Emperor chased him reluctantly and kept making challenging sounds... However, Xiao Zamao ran too fast, and his two long legs were as fast as the wind, and the former could not catch up no matter how hard he chased him.

What's even more annoying is that Xiao Zamao not only escaped, but also kept secretly doing something bad. Sometimes he suddenly stopped and turned around and kicked, and sometimes he used his claws to thrust behind him... and made Emperor Jinyu dizzy and fell into several big falls.

After running like this for dozens of laps, the Golden Feather Emperor was angry and tired, and was scratched several times. His mental and physical strength was not as good as before... Taking this opportunity, Xiao Zamao turned around and launched a fierce attack.

“Hehe—hehehe!”

Only then did people realize that Xiao Zamao's combat power was quite strong, with a sharp beak like a sword, a sharp claw like a knife, a fast movement like a ghost, and an attack as fast as a wind and fire... The five-color feathers exploded, and the attack became stronger than the other.

Faced with such a fierce attack, if it were normal, the Golden Feather Emperor might be able to withstand it, but at this time it had already suffered a lot of physical strength and could not help but be beaten backwards. It was injured in many places on its body, and golden chicken feathers were floating around... It was completely at a disadvantage.

After dozens of rounds of fighting, the Golden Feather Emperor was crushed to the ground by Xiao Zamao. He struggled desperately but could not get up. If Li Zhao had not rushed forward to stop him, he would have been afraid that the former would have died under the sharp claws.

"How is this possible? How is this possible?"

...

On the other side, the handsome guys and others were stunned and could not believe the result. You know, the Golden Feather Emperor was carefully selected from the thousands of cockfighting cocks in Shangfang, the imperial palace, and never lost after hundreds of battles. It can be regarded as a top-notch quality.

The Divine Chicken Chicken - Jia Chang once said: Apart from the legendary top-quality cockfighting, no one is the opponent of the Golden Feather Emperor.

But now, the Golden Feather Emperor was defeated, undisputedly, and was defeated under the claws of a small miscellaneous chicken. Could it be that this is the invincible best cockfighting?

The best cockfighting has always existed only in legends. It is the King of Ten Thousand Roosters and the remains of phoenixes... But what kind of phoenixes give birth to such an ugly remains?

Or maybe a certain phoenix accidentally got drunk and came to the mortal world and favored an old hen with a mixed hair... It's really unimaginable.

But no matter what, if you lose, you will lose. If you admit that you are gambling, the old handsome guy took off the ring on his thumb with ease: "Yulang, good means, I will be convinced by the loss. This tiger bone ring is yours."

"Thank you senior!"

After taking the ring with both hands, Li Zhao was so happy that he almost jumped up. This was a good thing that could not be bought with a lot of money.

But, I won this game today a little despicable, and I felt guilty.

"Yulang, how about having a cup of tea together?"

"It's better to obey your orders than to be respectful."

"Come on, prepare tea!"

"promise!"

At the command of the handsome old man, the followers immediately became busy, including a small red mud stove, a high-quality silver frost charcoal, a copper small tea pot... There are also tea trays, tea bowls, tea bottles, tea mills, tea roe, and dozens of tea sets in total, which are quite particular, and then Mrs. Mei personally scattered the tea.

First, put the cake tea on the fire and roast it, then crush it into powder, then put it in water and cook it. At the same time, add seasonings such as fine salt, ginger, dates, orange peel, dogwood, and mint.

Soon, the bright yellow tea soup was cooked. Mrs. Mei poured three cups in person and divided them into handsome guys, Cui Zongzhi and Li Zhao in turn.

Next, the three of them started talking while tasting fragrant tea. During the chat, Li Zhao discovered that the handsome old man was not only knowledgeable and talented, but also a very powerful player: reciting poems, fighting cocks and dogs, raising flowers and playing with insects... all of them were good and skilled.

Li Zhao is a fun person. Now that he meets a similar person, he is naturally extremely excited and his conversations are becoming more and more speculative.

Unfortunately, the age difference between the two sides is too big, otherwise Li Zhao would have to pull the handsome guy, kill the chicken's head together, burn yellow paper, and become brothers!

Less gossip, and the book is back to its original meaning!

As the three of them chatted, whether intentionally or unintentionally, they talked about the selection examination of the Ministry of Personnel Department a few days ago and the topic of strategy... How to solve the money shortage?

"Hmph, in my opinion, it is not difficult to solve the money shortage. As long as the current emperor uses thunder means to imitate Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty and Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty; those bald monks, who do not work in production, do not serve in the military, and do not pay taxes, will refer to Buddha's clothes all day long, rely on Buddha to eat, and also occupy a large amount of temple property. They have become parasites and should have been well prepared."

Cui Zongzhi spoke first, with murderous intent in his words and revealed two words - destroying Buddha!

The Tang Dynasty was founded for more than 100 years, with an increase in population and a strong national strength, Buddhism has also grown stronger. Not to mention the distance, there are Dacien Temple, Ximing Temple, Jixiang Temple around Chang'an alone... There are hundreds of temples, temples, monks and nuns in total.

In temples and temples, there are countless Buddha statues made of gold, silver, and bronze, Bodhisattva statues, bells, cymbals, bells, incense burners...

Cui Zongzhi's suggestion was to let the emperor follow the example of Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Tuoba Tao, and Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Yuwen Yong, and use force to forcibly destroy the Buddha... demolish the temples, confiscate the temple property, and all monks and nuns return to the secular world to enrich the population. All Buddha statues, Bodhisattva statues and other statues in the temples are melted and minted coins.

In this way, it not only solves the problem of money shortage, but also greatly enriches national strength. The Northern Wei and Northern Zhou dynasties became so powerful in history.

"Cat slave, drink tea, drink tea!"

While Li Zhao was persuading tea, he secretly kicked Cui Zong's foot, hinting that he was cautious in his words so as not to cause trouble.

It is undeniable that destroying Buddha can indeed obtain a large amount of gold, silver and copper to mint coins to solve the problem of money shortage. However, destroying Buddha can also be extremely harmful:

First, today there are many believers in Buddhism, including high-ranking officials and wealthy families. If the court issued an order to destroy Buddhism, it would easily arouse the resistance of Buddhists, and it would be impossible to raise troops to rebel.

The power of faith is quite powerful!

Second, whether you believe it or not, destroying Buddha will lead to cause and effect. Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Tuoba Tao, lived only forty-four years old, and died at the hands of eunuchs; Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Yuwen Yong, lived only forty-six years old, and died of illness on the journey.

Both emperors can be said to have died young!

Therefore, the matter of destroying Buddha cannot be done unless it is absolutely necessary. Even if it is done, you must be extremely cautious.

"Yulang, you have always been very intelligent and knowledgeable, but is there any good way to fundamentally solve the money shortage problem?"

"Haha, to fundamentally solve the money shortage, you must mint enough money, which requires a lot of gold, silver and copper. However, I lack these three minerals in the territory of the Tang Dynasty. However, I know that there are three places that contain a large amount of minerals."

Li Zhao looked at Cui Zongzhi and the handsome old man. Both of them pricked up their ears and listened attentively to their own story.

"First, Nanzhao has a large number of silver pits in its 100,000 mountains, which are easy to mine, with high quality and large output. Unfortunately, those indigenous people are backward in technology and have only treasure mountains, but the mining volume is pitifully small.

Second, Fusang, although it is a small island country, can produce gold and silver, especially the Ishimi Silver Mountain, the Yiwu Silver Mountain, the Kurokawa Jinshan Mountain, and the Zhongshan Jinshan Mountain. It has a huge amount of reserves and cannot be mined for hundreds of years.

Third, in the northeast, there is a Heilongjiang in the areas where the various ministries of Shiwei and Shiwei are active, and there are a large number of gold mines distributed on both sides.

If you get one of the above three places, you don’t have to worry about money shortages for decades in the Tang Dynasty. You can also mint a large number of gold and silver coins to replace copper coins that are not easy to carry and promote commercial circulation. If you put all three places in your hands, your descendants will not worry about having no money available!"

After saying that, Li Zhao took a sip of tea and couldn't help but stick out his tongue. He was still not used to the taste of the sencha. It seemed that he had to make tea and tinker with it. That was the delicacy of the world!

On the other side, the handsome old man and Cui Zongzhi looked at each other, and both of them looked a little excited, and they also had a lot of doubts...

"Yu Lang is amazing, but I still have something unknown. Nanzhao, Fusang and Mohe are all outside the world. Few people from Central Earth go there. How can I know that there are a lot of gold and silver minerals there so clearly?"

"All this is told by my teacher. My teacher has traveled all over the world and knows everything about the world."

"Oh, your master's name is the first name?"

"Seven Killing Holy Lord!"

There was no choice but to make up a lie, saying that when he was young, he met the Seven Killing Saint Lord by chance, and then he learned a lot of skills.

He even boasted that the Seven Killing Saint King was a master who knew astronomy, geography, and was versatile in the past and the present.

"Where is respectful to the teacher?"

"My teacher likes to travel around, either climbing to the top of Emei, visiting overseas immortals, or searching for the caves of gods and immortals. If you want to find their traces, it is probably more difficult than climbing to the sky!"

"It's a pity that there are such masters in the world who have no blessing to meet them."

While sighing, the handsome guy believed Li Zhao's words for eight or nine minutes. Only those masters like immortals on land could train such talented disciples.
