How can Fang Wai Ren live on?

The so-called Fangwai is a group of people who are not bound by the current rules.

For the people, the biggest constraint is naturally taxation.

Monks can be exempted from taxes.

Other Taoist temples and temples have industries, that is, land. Even if something happens outside, they can still have food and clothing.

However, Izumo Temple is different. After Shehui became the "Alchemy Master", the Temple abandoned the land and instead welcomed the pilgrims with all their might.

A mu of land is hard all year round, and the harvest can not be much, but those pilgrims are generous, which is a gain for nothing, which is much better than farming.

The more proud I was back then, the more painful I was when I encountered difficulties.

So Chen An became the savior of Izumo Temple.

"You have money and food. If you want to stay, leave what you don't want to leave as soon as possible."

Steelmaking must be kept confidential, so now you get a vaccination first.

A group of Taoists shook their heads.

Nowadays, who is willing to go out?

The official from the Salt and Iron Department just said that from now on, there will be half of the official Taoist temple.

Officially run!

Everyone couldn't help but look at Chen An, thinking that the official job is a strong job, so what are we still worried about in the future?

Chen An smiled and said, "I just can't regret it after staying, otherwise... the Imperial City Department is afraid that it will leave."

At that time, a confidential name will scare you to death!

Everyone still said nothing, Chen An clapped his hands.

Zhang Banian came out from behind.

“When did these people come in?”

"He came in over the wall."

Chen An gave the answer to Zhang Banian.

Zhang Banian came over with people, and Chen An said, "I'll leave this matter to you."

He took a few steps back and said to Shehui and Sheqing: "This is the master of the Imperial City Department. They will clean up the people here, and those who are not suitable will persuade them to leave."

The two Taoists had nodded, and Shehui finally smiled.

"I think it's very promising to fight like this."

“It’s very promising.”

Chen An said: "What I want is better steel and cheaper output methods, only two."

She Hui said relaxedly: "This matter is simple, so I will naturally do my best."

Simple?

Chen An smiled.

Steel with better performance and a cheaper production model, this thing is not simple at all.

"Money and grain will be sent every month, and ore will be sent. I have some experience here. Please take a closer look, but..."

Chen An took out a thin booklet and warned: "You are allowed to read. If it is leaked, Izumo Temple will be in trouble!"

Shehui picked it up and looked through it. Sheqing was about to take a look, but remembered Chen An's words just now, so she should not turn her face.

"It's amazing!"

Shehui couldn't help but immerse herself in it. When she looked up again, her eyes looked at Chen An became more fanatical.

"Brother Dao is really a master. Shehui admires her. If you don't give up, please accept Shehui as your disciple!"

His legs became weak and he knelt down, but Chen An picked him up with one hand.

"Don't make this, you're older than me, let's discuss it together."

Chen An's humility was impressive. She Hui sent him out reluctantly. When she came back, she took the booklet and went straight to "seize".

Chen An will naturally not get involved in the cleaning here, he is in an extremely good mood at the moment.

With the expert Shehui, it only takes a few years to wait for the steel of the Song Dynasty to undergo earth-shaking changes.

By then...

Part of the reason he refused to get out the gunpowder was because the steel was ineffective.

I was worried about leaking the secrets if I did it too early, and I couldn't get the firearm.

The steel performance at this time disappointed Chen An, and the output was not large.

For example, horseshoes have been invented long ago, but why is it difficult to popularize them?

It's because of the lack of iron.

The Song Dynasty was much better, but the Western Xia was probably the worst.

Wait until the steel output and quality have been improved...

"Brother's cannon gun!"

Chen An couldn't help feeling relaxed when he remembered the scene of rows of musket arrays moving forward and the cannons roaring.

Truth is currently within the range of the bow and arrow, and he hopes to become within the range of the artillery as soon as possible.

It was already afternoon when I got home, and Bao Zheng was actually chatting with Guoguo.

Can you imagine how an old man chats with a little girl?

Bao Zheng sat in the ring chair with a loving look.

Guoguo sat on the side, her legs swaying gently, and she looked aggrieved...

“…Bao Gong, I ate chicken legs for lunch.”

"The chicken legs are good, and you can run fast after eating them."

"Brother forced me to eat the food."

"I'm going to deal with him."

"Bao Gongguai."

“…”

The conversation ended here. Because Bao Zheng saw Chen An, he was embarrassed to continue the topic with Guoguo.

"elder brother!"

Guoguo rushed over happily, Chen An leaned over and picked her up, and asked if she was sleeping well at noon.

"good!"

Guoguo hugged her brother's neck and said, "Brother, Brother Zhe is stealing wine again!"

Chen An's eyes turned, but he didn't see Zhe Kexing.

"He ran away!"

This guy actually drank alcohol again?

Chen An gritted his teeth and became fierce, "If you catch him, you will hang and beat him!"

"beat!"

Guoguo was taken away by beating, and Bao Zheng's face collapsed.

Chen An thought he had made no mistake recently, so he walked over casually.

"Bao Gong, you said...oh!"

Bao Zheng jumped up with lightning speed, and Chen An's scalp hurts when he slapped.

He pointed at Chen An and said angrily: "You still dare to say it!"

Chen An said with a confused look on his face: "I did not make any mistake!"

He reflected on himself again, and truly felt that he was more obedient than the little white rabbit.

But Lao Bao's angry look was clearly what he discovered.

Could it be that the matter of my saving Lao Zhao was revealed?

Chen An didn't know what was going on, so he just smiled.

Bao Zheng pointed at him and said with disgust: "Look at the image of a treacherous minister on your face! Look! It's embarrassing."

Chen An even took the opportunity to make a threatening gesture to Zhe Kexing who had sneaked back.

Bao Zheng flew for a while and said breathlessly: "I used to be able to say one stick of incense, but now I can say one quarter of an hour."
