Chapter Fifty-Four: The Old Monk Comes Away
After having spare money in his hand, the first thing Yang Yingqi did was to build Guanning School. He chose a good landscape on the outskirts of Jinmen City and demarcated a large piece of land, and named the hill Zhuxu Mountain as the location of the Guanning School. Since the sappers were undertaking the construction of Jinmen and Liaokou and could not leave, he spent a lot of money to hire a good craftsman from Goryeo to recruit the empty husbands, homeless people, fugitive slaves, and beggars in the territory to plan the construction according to his own expectations.
Lu Kezhong looked at the sketch, but saw that the houses were scaled and scattered, and the scale was not trivial, so he couldn't help but be surprised, and thought that if he really wanted to build this Guanning School, the finances of Jinmen would have to be squeezed dry. Busy persuading: "Jinmen is in the ascendant in all aspects, and it costs money to be there." Although it is a good thing to start studying, it is not an urgent matter. Can you hold off on one or two? ”
Yang Yingqi said: "No! Nothing is late, but this is not delayed. Ten years of trees, 100 years of people. Land can be won in a war, grain and grass can be harvested in a few years, money can be obtained by skillful income, only teaching and educating people are the slowest, but this is the foundation of the prosperity of my Han department, and I will start immediately even if I borrow money. But don't worry, the buildings on this sketch are not going to be built all at once, so let's just lay a blank and build a few rows of simple houses. More on that later. Lu Kezhong was relieved.
After the construction of Guan Ning School started, Yang Yingqi ran to Zhuxu Mountain in three days. The sappers of the Han Department marched into the army, and all projects were known for their simplicity and durability. Goryeo has been influenced by Han culture for a long time, and the establishment of tiled and wooden towers is much more elegant than that of Han sappers, but the relative progress is also slow. Yang Yingqi looked a little impatient, but he still couldn't help but not point fingers.
On this day, when he entered the city, he suddenly saw that there was a tower standing in the west of the city, which was not a businessman or a businessman, nor was it in the public construction plan of Jinmen, and he felt strange in his heart, and drove to see it, but it was a temple under construction, and he went around the temple, and then went back to the government hall to ask Lu Kezhong if he knew about it.
Lu Kezhong said: "It is a monk who crossed the sea, and his Dharma name is Huiguan. He had been here before the wind began in the autumn of last year, and he had brought a few disciples to give medicine and medicine, chant scriptures and preach Buddha, and raised a lot of money and goods to build a temple. I thought it would be beneficial, so I agreed. ”
Yang Yingqi said: "Why haven't I heard you mention it?" ”
Lu Kezhong said: "It's not a big deal. Seventh General, you don't even pay attention to the standing affairs of the general administration, I thought you wouldn't care. ”
"Nonsense! How is this not a big deal! Yang Yingqi said: "It seems that this Huiguan monk has a bigger face than me!" Within a few months, I had the money to build a temple! I want to build Guanning School, and I have to pay for it from my own pocket! ”
Lu Kezhong asked, "Does the Seventh General think that there is something wrong with this old monk?" ”
Yang Yingqi sneered: "Of course it's wrong!" Hey! Hey! Lu Kezhong asked again if there was anything wrong, but Yang Yingqi refused to say it again. After he left, Lu Kezhong was left alone and bored, afraid that he had done something wrong, so he ordered someone to find out the origin of the old monk again.
The next day, the half-built temple was stopped. Yang Yingqi saw a sneer in his heart, and didn't go over to ask, so he went to the vicinity of the workshop of Guanning School to inspect for a while, and at noon he ordered the "Three Kingdoms" in the bamboo house on the other side of Zhuxu Mountain.
Before the afternoon, I suddenly heard a vigorous voice outside: "Amitabha, the poor monk has a wise view, and he asks to see the seven generals." ”
Yang Yingqi said in his heart: "The old monk came so fast! Answered: "Where is the monk poor?" You have been here for less than half a year and you have the money to build a monastery, which is still poor, and there are no rich people in the world. "I walked out the door and looked at the monk: his eyebrows were half white, but there was no wrinkle on his face, and he couldn't tell how old he was.
Yang Yingqi said, "Where did the monk come from?" How to come? What to do? ”
Huiguan returned the monk's salute and said: "The poor monk came from the south of the Yangtze River to cross the sea to spread the Buddha's mantra. ”
Yang Yingqi said: "The monk is honest, but he doesn't fight with me." ”
Huiguan smiled and said, "What kind of Zen Feng!" If it's a true Buddha, he speaks ordinary words. Playing Zen Feng is something that the last of their Zen family does, and it is not what the true Buddha wants. ”
"Them?" Yang Yingqi asked, "But the monk is not Zen Buddhism?" But I don't know what sect the monk is? What are you preaching here? ”
Huiguan said: "The poor monk Tiantai is sent out, inheriting the wisdom of the ancestor Gushan Zhiyuan, and talking about the mean of the university. ”
Yang Yingqi laughed loudly when he heard this, and said: "The Buddha also talks about the mean in college? The old monk is cunning! You have to come and flatter me, and you don't have to change your own way to this! ”
Huiguan smiled and said: "To govern the world and secure the country, you can't do without Kong for a day." If the world is shaken and the country is in danger, can my Buddhist family survive on its own? Therefore, the university is modest, and the Buddha also has to talk about it. ”
Yang Yingqi bowed his head and said: "The old monk is a little interesting, come in and sit." ”
At the door, the boy took his seat. Huiguan said: "The poor monk came from the south of the Yangtze River, he had no long things, and he only brought two taels of Longjing before the rain. ”
Yang Yingqi said in his heart: "This Huiguan monk has done enough kung fu!" Know me good this! So he asked the boy to fetch the tea set, and Huiguan ordered the two apprentices who came with him to find the spring water.
A young man and an old monk sat opposite each other in this bamboo house, telling some Changbai stories and some Suzhou and Hangzhou characters.
Yang Yingqi heard Huiguan boasting about Jiangnan characters, so he asked: "Old monk, Jiangnan is so good, but what are you doing all the way to Liaodong?" ”
Huiguan sighed: "Since the succession of the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, I have favored Wang Laozhi, Wang Zaixi, and Lin Lingsu, worshiped the Tao and suppressed the Buddha, and regarded the mantra of my Buddha as a foreign object. What is good at the top will be very bad at the bottom. The prime ministers of the DPRK and China, the state and county officials, are all old and obedient, and they are afraid of being jealous of the Son of Heaven. Although there is no clear intention to destroy the Buddha now, it is also a misfortune that my Buddhism has not encountered in a hundred years. ”
Yang Yingqi said with a smile: "It turns out that the old monk can't stay in Jiangnan anymore." But how do you think of coming to Liaodong? ”
Huiguan did not hide it, and said: "Lao Gu is not going to Liaodong, but to Fusang. Because the ship was caught in the wind, it drifted to this place. The boatman originally planned to repair the ship and leave, but I saw that the market here was in order, the people were rich and simple, and they spoke in the Han language. Therefore, he changed his mind and decided to stay in Jinmen. ”
Yang Yingqi sighed and asked, "Monk, how many disciples have you brought?" How many scriptures? How much belongings? ”
Huiguan said: "There are eight disciples of the sect, two disciples and grandchildren, two walkers, eighty boxes of scriptures, and a number of clothes and utensils commonly used in the sect, but there is not much money. ”
Yang Yingqi said: "If you don't have much money, how can you build a temple?" ”
Huiguan said: "The cost of building the temple is the kindness of the donors of Jinmen. ”
Yang Yingqi asked what the big donors were, and Huiguan said them one by one, but he included several major families doing business in Jinmen. Even Lu Kezhong donated a lot of money. Before Yang Yingqi finished listening, he pointed to the direction of Jinmen and scolded: "I don't see you so enthusiastic about the public affairs of Jinmen!" ”
