Chapter 92: Reopening the Dharma Class
After Fang Shiqi led Master Wuchen, Master Jiang Qingshan, Master Dongfang Xiao, Master Ouyang Chun, as well as Luo Tianxing and Shi Jiaxuan, a group of eight people came out of the martial arts school, and went straight to Hezhong County by the Yellow River and began the work of deciding to start the construction of Zaolin Temple.
After learning of this news, the main leaders of Hezhong County all waited for their arrival, and for this reason, they also specially organized a performance team with distinctive local characteristics to pick up the wind and wash the dust for them. Hehe, in their opinion, this is a group of gods of wealth, and they dare not make a slight difference.
As soon as they saw this small county town in the mountainous area for less than five minutes, the group heard the sound of Yangge, as well as the sound of suona, and also saw a group of welcoming teams not far away, singing and dancing and twisting and twisting very lively. At this time, Mrs. Fang smiled and said, It seems that we are still very popular here. Xiao Luo said, yes, let's not invest in the local area, naturally it is a huge temptation for them. Shi Jiaxuan continued, it must be because of your preliminary work at home, otherwise, these officials would not have held such a large-scale welcome ceremony.
Master Jiang Qingshan said that Xiao Luo is a smart person, and he is very good at doing these things. Master Wuchen said hehehe, Master Fang, you can rest assured, Xiao Luo has already laid the groundwork, and the formalities are left for you to sign, and he has basically completed specific matters such as land acquisition and expansion. And then there is, the local leaders look at the total investment figures you mentioned. Mrs. Fang asked Xiao Luo and said, you say, how much I say is enough? Xiao Luo said, don't tell them all to leave some leeway, what about 300 million? Master Wuchen immediately said, enough, no more, it will scare them, this is the beginning, take your time, let them not think, this is Xiao Luo's art, let's say less according to his idea.
At this time, Dongfang and Ouyang, the two female masters, also looked at each other, and then said, this is a good practice. So, everyone unanimously agreed that according to Luo Tianxing's prediction, they would talk less first. Because, in fact, the first batch of funds approved by the headquarters for the construction of Zaolin Temple is another 150 million, which is the expenditure of land acquisition, planning and drawings, as well as related procedures and the construction of the outer wall of the temple, etc., and the actual temple construction project is not included.
After the local welcome ceremony, they went to the conference room to taste tea and taste local fresh food according to the arrangement of S County. After a while, Xiao Luo said to a leader in charge of religious affairs, can you start? The leader thought about it for a while, and said, "I'll talk to our leader now, later."
After a minute or two, the first and second leaders of the county all came to the conference room, and the first leader first said what they meant, one is, welcome the Buddhists to return to China to aid the construction and support the construction and development of the motherland, which is still polite words. Second, he also said that although our mountainous county is relatively poor, it is also a holy place in the middle reaches of the Yellow River, and there were battlefields of war in ancient times, and the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation were used as the rear area. The third meaning, he said, tens of millions of investment projects, we can also bring in, our stamina is still not small. In the end, he revealed his meaning, and I don't know how big the total investment of your project is, is it worth our in-depth study and active cooperation, maybe, we will complete the relevant procedures, and you can complete it independently.
As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Shiqi stood up, looked around at the local leaders, and then bowed slightly, and said, I am Fang Shiqi, the person in charge of the domestic branch, and I will first make a small explanation for the worries and doubts of the leaders. First, our European Buddhist Studies Headquarters is an international practice, research and relief organization, which has participated in the rescue of shipwrecks in Southeast Asia, the emergency rescue of the Chernobyl disaster in Russia, and the chemical spill of RB and many other world-class disasters, and has also helped build temples and monasteries in many countries. Second, investment in the five continents of the world has totaled more than 40 billion yuan over the past 60 years. Third, the establishment of the domestic branch will be divided into three steps, the first part is to establish a martial arts school, after more than seven months of construction, has been completed and put into formal operation for nearly three months, the location is in Yangguo County, Pingchuan, has invested more than 150 million yuan, the later investment is expected to be nearly 200 million; the second project you here, the construction of a Buddhist base and a practice temple, it is estimated that there is not much money, after the formalities are completed, we immediately invest in the construction, it is estimated that there is less than 200 million yuan. Think about it, it's worth it or not. With that, she sat down.
More than a dozen of their leaders were very excited when they heard it, and they began to talk to each other, this said, 200 million, it is necessary, we have to actively cooperate to help them complete. Those people also said that these investments are just the beginning, and maybe there will be more investment in the later stage. The other few staff officers who seem to be scheming and about to take a back seat, their discussion is a little interesting, such an institution, how much dedication and think tank it must have, not to be underestimated, besides, once the temple and base are built, how much manpower and material resources will be needed, as well as the labor of the surrounding people, it is a huge project, not as simple as this female master said. This point must be explained to several key leaders, and a good opportunity must not be lost.
At this time, Luo Tianxing suddenly stood up, he said, leaders, what about me, is the proposer and earliest initiator of the Zaolin Temple project, for where to build such a project, I and the headquarters have prepared two sets of plans, one is in our province, the other place, we have also surveyed, the foundation and local attitude is better than ours, but what, I, after all, is a local, I am a little selfish, so I discussed with the leaders of the branch and said, if you don't check and understand in our province first, it really can't work, and then go and over there. That's why we have today's meeting. The other party's condition is that all formalities are handled by the local government with full authority, second, only 5 million yuan for 1,000 acres of land, and third, all civil affairs around the base are also fully maintained and coordinated at the city and county levels, which are valid for ten years, signed and detained, and a special person is responsible. Let's think about it, it's not too early today, if you still have objections, we have to cross the river to northern Shaanxi to discuss with another family.
At this time, the conference room began to debate very enthusiastically, and more than a dozen of their leaders and staff officers were divided into four groups and began to demonstrate the facts. After less than 20 minutes, it was finally decided to fully accept the conditions promised by Xiao Luo to them in northern Shaanxi, and also said that 1,000 acres of land, 5 million is a bit less, can it be increased to 8 million. At this time, Mrs. Fang and Mrs. Fang negotiated and finally gave the figure of seven million, a fixed price. After five minutes of deliberation, the leaders of Hezhong County agreed with their mouths. Subsequently, the two sides signed the development agreement and land, construction and other related procedures on the spot, and finally, toasted together. This matter has finally been implemented, and construction can be started.
During the dinner, Mrs. Fang finally said, "Leaders, first of all, thank you for your strong support for the cause of Buddhism, and secondly, I want to say that a little Wu Yuan is only an investment in the first phase of construction, so you just wait to see our handwriting. After she toasted, the leaders of the other party toasted us together, and the words of thanks were said for several minutes, and then it was time to break up and say goodbye.
Sitting in the car on the way back, Master Wuchen said, Master Fang, what you said is a little early, do you have to give the specific undertaker a little room to show his skills?
Fang Shiqi said disapprerovingly, several main leaders of the Jinsui Municipal Party Committee have already greeted me, and once we encounter any trouble, we can solve it on the same day. That's the card that tells me the truth.
At this time, Dongfang and Ouyang both smiled and thought, this master is too shrewd, he has done it in advance, I don't know anything. Seeing them look at each other and smile, Master Fang was so unhappy, what did you two think of again, hmph, these two little nuns often guess my thoughts, see if I go back and don't clean you two. The two of them hurriedly said, no, we just thought of your old strategy and decisive victory thousands of miles away.
After Master Jiang heard it, he said, Master Fang, don't worry about them anymore, originally, I don't know your old ability, they thought of it, it's not a bad thing, this is called comprehension, and the fashionable word is called the same frequency resonance. Mrs. Fang likes to listen to such words, so she said, Xiao Jiang, you know me, ouch, today, I wanted to refute them, so I went to the other side of the river to do this, but then I thought about it, and Xiao Luo and my apprentice, so I held back, otherwise, those people are not a problem at all, and they still want to explore our bottom, and there is no door. These ordinary people, who don't have any skills, will come to the yin and make stumbling blocks. I'm not going to eat them.
Luo Tianxing saw that Master Fang was extremely dissatisfied, so he said his suggestion, Master Fang, if we feel that we will encounter resistance in the construction process, the most difficult thing to do is the resistance of the people, then we can use the local armed police to participate in the solution, in this way, the construction speed will be much faster. Master Wuchen asked, do you have a relationship? Xiao Luo said, there is no direct relationship, that is, I know that several elders of the leaders of the armed police like Buddhism, I know several of them, and they are also famous figures in the local area, in the land of Jinsui, I didn't expect anyone to dare to disobey the will of their old people. In this case, none of us will have to come forward, just with the help of the prestige of these old people, all problems will be solved.
After his cousin Shi Jiaxuan heard this, he immediately said, this is the best solution, the others are all outsiders, this is the best choice to use your brain. Ouyang also said that by the way, we need such a supreme choice to solve the problem intelligently, not a rough way, nor can it be a clumsy local method.
After returning to Liancheng, according to Xiao Luo's prior arrangement, at the luncheon the next day, they met those respected cultivators, a total of seven or eight of them. Xiao Luo introduced Mrs. Fang and everyone present one by one. He not only told the names of the other party, but also concisely introduced the deeds of each old man's heart, and this circle of pouring wine and introductions made the hearts of these local nervous old men happy. However, in the later toasting process, they did not show the slightest pretentiousness and posture, and they seemed to be polite and sincere, and their cultivation and city government were not in vain. This made everyone here feel the depth of their prestige, majesty and might.
Now, I finally solved the heart disease of Mrs. Fang and their group. In the afternoon, they felt Yang Guowu. As soon as they entered this newly built school, they felt extremely relaxed and comfortable. After taking a bath, they went to the reception room to drink tea and chat.
Chatting and chatting, Master Wuchen inadvertently asked about the relationship between the martial arts school and the surrounding villagers, and the specific person in charge replied that it seems to be harmonious now, and there are no disputes. In addition, according to the suggestions of the local trainees, our security department has also established exchanges and cooperation with the militia of more than a dozen surrounding villages, and has also signed a security agreement with the village committee. Of course, we have also made appropriate arrangements for the leisure personnel in the relevant villages, such as those who burn boilers, watch the gates, remove garbage and do sanitation, and there are farmers from each village, so that there are their own people here, and they will not cause trouble and harass them casually.
The director of the security department finally said that we have also formulated a rule to support agriculture during the busy agricultural season every year, and helping has become a basic homework for all students, in order to mingle with the local people and form a good relationship with each other and hobbies.
Mrs. Fang, Wuchen and several other masters are still very in favor of and satisfied with such measures. This made the face of Master Jiang, the first person responsible, add a lot of color.
The next day, after meeting with several key leaders of the prefecture, they returned to Kyoto and began the construction of Zaorin Temple.
