Chapter 19 The Stone of His Mountain
The Lanling King over there was calm and didn't say a word.
At this time, the water was boiling, and Fa Yun picked up the teapot and poured the water into the tea bowl. Qingyin then closed the lids of the two tea bowls. Pass it to the King of Lanling and Master Kongzhi.
The King of Lanling took the teacup in his hand. Without taking the words of Master Kongzhi, he asked, "I don't know what idea came out in the temple?"
Master Kongzhi took the teacup and put it on the table. A wry smile appeared on one face.
"A few days ago, the temple also made a special trip to mention it in the Dharma Hall. It's my little nephew," he said, pointing to the voice, "the Yunyou monk who said that he could stay in the future asked for the help of attending the conference. Solved a little problem in the temple.
The king of Lanling was really surprised and read the voice again.
Seeing Qingyin, he just lowered his head slightly and looked humble. I think he is very calm although he is young.
It's a pity that I threw myself into the temple. If it's on top of the temple, it may be able to do something.
Looking at the voice as quiet as a virgin, I thought of his crossed legs and orchid fingers, and felt that the little monk still had a romantic appearance.
The voice is also tumbling in my heart.
It's really surprising to hear Master Kongzhi praise himself and praise him face to face like this.
On the one hand, I want to say what I think, but I'm afraid that it will be too shocking. It's different from the law habits of this era, which makes them feel that their ideas are too different.
He didn't care about the eyes of the Lanling King.
"Although this method is good, I'm afraid it can't solve the urgent need." The king of Lanling thought about the sentence.
Without the support of cash and silver, even if the manpower is solved, I'm afraid it will be useless.
Master Kongzhi really frowned again, "If you go to those stores that sell Buddha utensils and incense candles on credit, I'm afraid the number is huge, and the store won't..."
Qingyin suddenly understood why Master Kongzhi was crying in front of the King of Lanling just now.
It turned out that Master Kongzhi did not want to borrow silver from the king of Lanling as Qingyin expected, but wanted to borrow money from those stores with the name of the king of Lanling.
With the guarantee of His Royal Highness the King of Lanling, there is indeed no store that dares not give it to Anguo Temple on credit!
Sure enough, the king of Lanling also thought of Master Kongzhi, and his face relaxed.
If Anguo Temple is guaranteed so that Anguo Temple can successfully hold a Buddhist conference, the King of Lanling is still willing to help.
The voice is a little anxious.
If the idea of Master Kongzhi is feasible, his money-making plan will fail.
I couldn't help taking a step forward and whispering, "The little monk thought of a good idea when he went out just now."
As soon as this came out, Master Kongzhi was happy, and the eyes of the Lanling King lit up. Fa Yun's original frown also unfolded immediately as if he had been flattened. For a time, three people and six eyes were staring at the voice-clear surface.
Master Kongzhi repeatedly urged, "Say it quickly, don't sell it!"
There is no way to sell it! Qingyin felt so wronged in his heart. He couldn't argue, so he had to say what he had just thought in the Daxiong Hall.
"I remember that in my hometown, there was a merit box in the temple, which was used to donate money to those who pray for God and worship Buddha. For those who donate a lot of money, the temple will record their merits and virtues, engrave a famous brand in front of the Buddha statue, and recite scriptures for their family every day
Qingyin paused and saw the three of them looking at themselves attentively, especially Master Kongzhi, with eager eyes shining with Qiyi in his eyes.
Thinking of him asking himself if he had an idea in the morning... He smiled and continued, "In the temple of my hometown, incense is not allowed for incense guests to bring their own incense. They all want to buy special incense in the temple to show piety."
Speaking of this, stop talking.
Sure enough, even the king of Lanling was eager to look at Qingyin with a pair of beautiful eyes, "These can be used on weekdays. Now that the Dharma Conference is coming, what you want is silver, how can you solve it?"
Qingyin saw that the king of Lanling was in a hurry to ask, and he wanted to sell it in his heart. Instead of saying this, let's talk about visiting Ye City with Fayun Faming.
"The day before yesterday, Fayun Faming and Faming visited Ye City for a long time. It turns out that in Yecheng, in addition to those who specialize in making vegetarian food, even ordinary restaurants can also cook vegetarian food.
With that, he opened his eyes and showed a curious look on his face.
The king of Lanling smiled, and his eyes were like white clouds. "The king believes in Buddhism, and all the officials follow suit. The restaurants in Yecheng can also cook one or two vegetarian dishes.
Qingyin nodded, "I don't know whether the vegetarian dishes and rice at this Buddhist conference are cooked by the temple or invited by outside?"
At the Buddhist Conference, Master Kongzhi shrugged his eyebrows, first announced the Buddha's name, and said, "In the past years, it was hosted by the temple, and I also hired a helper to do chores."
What you want is to be hosted by this temple!
Qingyin immediately raised his eyebrows, "There are a large number of people in the Buddhist conference. If it is hosted by the temple, I'm afraid it is far from enough. It's better to leave the food to the restaurant. The people in the temple are responsible for the matters of the Dharma Conference.
The king of Lanling and Master Kongzhi looked at each other. Everyone can see a little curiosity in the other party's eyes.
Qingyin has been observing their expressions with his eyes. Seeing that the two of them pay attention, he pretended to be understated, "The food I ate in a Ruyi restaurant the day before yesterday, and it tasted good."
When Fa Yun heard about Ruyi Restaurant, he was in it that day and immediately straightened up. He secretly glanced at Master Kongzhi and stared nervously at Qingyin.
Master Kongzhi over there was also shocked when he heard the Qingyin mention of Ruyi Restaurant.
That day, when Fayun Faming came back from the foot of the mountain, he told him what a big deal Qingyin wanted to do with people. However, the two children didn't know the inside story and said it vaguely. At that time, Master Kongzhi didn't care. He thought it was just a clear child's heart, and he couldn't count it at all.
At this moment, seeing this Ruyi restaurant appear in Qingyin's mouth, Master Kongzhi's heart turned around and thought that this little nephew was really bold enough to talk about it in front of the king of Lanling.
If this matter is grasped by a person with intentions, I'm afraid to say that Anguo Temple takes the opportunity to accumulate wealth. If you are not careful, you will lose your reputation.
This matter is like taking chestnuts from fire, which is extremely dangerous. Master Kongzhi attached great importance to this intelligent little nephew, and he was afraid that Qingyin would be implicated. Therefore, when Qingyin was in his meditation room, he deliberately suppressed this topic when he saw that Qingyin's desire was still resting.
Unexpectedly, Qingyin finally couldn't help this **. In front of the King of Lanling, he directly mentioned the Ruyi Restaurant.
At that moment, he laughed and said, "It's not just this one that has been cooked in Yecheng. He said that Yonghezhai's vegetable and tofu soup is unique.
"Exactly. Yecheng Restaurant has its own strengths, either good at soup, or good at frying and stir-frying. If it can gather the leaders of all families and make it at the Dharma Conference, it must be amazing on the spot. Not only the Dharma Conference was successfully held, but also Anguo Temple could take this opportunity to become famous. The rest of the money was swallowed back by Qingyin.
The idea of Qingyin exceeded the expectations of Master Kongzhi. He was afraid that Qingyin had a lot to do with the Ruyi restaurant, but he didn't expect that Qingyin moved out all the restaurants in Yecheng along with his topic.
Master Kongzhi opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to say it.
Qingyin doesn't know the universe inside Master Kongzhi, but the King of Lanling is interested in Qingyin and asks, "Do you want to invite all the restaurants in Yecheng to participate in the cooking of the Dharma Conference?" Anguo Temple is short of financial resources. How to invite these merchants?
Qingyin laughed so much that he couldn't see it. "There is no need to spend money to hire these merchants, and they have to pay for the ingredients out of their own pocket."
The King of Lanling leaned sideways with Master Kongzhi, "Do you pay out of your own pocket?"
There was a look of surprise on his face.
"The merchant is very profitable, but he also cherishes his reputation. If the merchants who undertake the ingredients are launched in the name of donating funds to do good deeds at the Dharma Conference, it will undoubtedly be an excellent opportunity to become famous all over the country. And in the temple, you can also use vegetarian food to recite Buddhist scriptures and accumulate a wide range of names to get alms. Presumably those dignitaries will not miss this opportunity to become famous.
Qingyin took a deep breath and slowly whispered to them to digest. "The temple can also customize some Changsheng cards, Buddha beads bracelets, open light tokens, etc. to give to ordinary believers."
These things sold on the roadside in later generations came without hesitation.
Business Donation - Dharma Conference Wide Blessing - Raised Money - Money to Make Money - Profit
This is the idea of clear sound.
The king of Lanling first understood the joints, and Master Kongzhi then woke up. Only Fa Yun, who stood on one side, became more and more confused. I can't figure out how the merchant's money has become the money in the temple.
Qingyin said this, stood up, put his hands together with Master Kongzhi and the King of Lanling, and bowed deeply, "The little monk has talked to Gongsun Yi, the shopkeeper of Ruyi Restaurant, and is willing to use his name to come forward to gather merchants to raise funds. Please hand this matter over to the little monk."
So calmly, talk about the cooperation with Gongsun Yi.
The king of Lanling was stunned at first. He stared at the little monk standing in front of him. Seeing that his hands were closed, his fingers were pointed like jade bamboo shoots, and his face was condensed. There was no surprise, hesitation and shame in his expression. It was true that he could not be said to others, and his frankness was beyond doubtful.
Master Kongzhi has been meditating in his heart. Seeing the king of Lanling staring at the clear sound, he was also secretly weighing himself.
This method of clear sound is undoubtedly excellent. As outsiders, their money and wealth are like clouds. If you are alone, there is nothing in the world that can't be done. It's just that there are hundreds of monks to support the big foundation of Anguo Temple, and they are also calculating these things about gold and silver every day.
It's one thing to work in the dark, and it's another thing to take advantage of profits. If Gongsun Yi can come forward, it would be the best to take this hot potato for Anguo Temple.
The reputation has not fallen, and it can solve the urgent needs of the temple and make a lot of money. It's really a good thing to get in one fell swoop.
Master Kongzhi has all his last doubts about Qingyin.
"There is no precedent for this kind of thing. Since you come up with it, it's up to you. It's just that at that time, the king and courtiers, and the surrounding countries will have envoys to attend the meeting, so we must consider it carefully. Everything in Anguo Temple is in your hands!"
This Dharma conference has gone beyond the ordinary Buddhist ceremony. Due to the participation of the royal family and the surrounding powers, it has become erratic and full of unknown dangers.
It is religious and involves money. If you are not careful, you will be in a doomed situation. Master Kongzhi can't wait to tell you.
Qingyin heard Master Kongzhi relax, and saw Master Kongzhi's cautious words, restrained his joy, corrected the color of his face, and said solemnly, "I must do this at ease."
Master Kongzhi saw that Qingyin's face also became serious. He knew that he had understood the danger of Qingyin, but he was afraid that Qingyin would be uneasy. Instead, he made a omission. He patted his hands gently, took out an object from his arms, and handed it to Qingyin. "This is the letter presided over by the abbot. If you want to use money or monks in the temple, This can be the basis."
With this letter, it is equivalent to handing over the whole Anguo Temple to Qingyin.
When the Qingyin was received in his hand, he saw that it was a ebony square card. The tentacles also carry the body temperature of Master Kongzhi.
The front of the wooden plate is engraved with the distant mountain near the temple, the front and rear mountain gate, the Daxiong Treasure Hall, the Tibetan Sutra Pavilion and other buildings. The gate of the temple is faintly engraved with three rice grain ancient seals of "Anguo Temple", and behind it are four traditional Chinese characters of the host charms. The production is exquisite, and the details of the carving are full of atmosphere.
Qingyin put his hands together, put the wooden card in the palm of his hand, and bowed to Master Kongzhi again.
It is related to the future of Anguo Temple. Master Kongzhi can hand over such a big thing to herself. The daughter is tied to one hair, and Kongzhi's trust in her also makes her feel heavy shoulders.
From now on, she is no longer the little girl in her previous life who studied leisurely in college and set up a stall to earn living expenses after school, but an ancient man who wanted to control her fate in her own hands and bear the fate of a hundred people.
"Good! The host has no doubt about the use of people, and the Qingyin monk is not afraid in the face of danger. It is indeed a great pleasure for me to witness this today. The king of Lanling stroked his palm and laughed.
Master Kongzhi handed over the wooden card and felt that the heavy burden of the daughter was like unloading half. It turned out to be a rare relaxation for him to be in charge of Anguo Temple for many years. Seeing Qingyin carefully put away the wooden cards, he couldn't help but be happy. "King Lanling, this matter is related to the fate of the royal king. Please help me."
The king of Lanling agreed with a smile
