Chapter 326: Money Starts Ringing
After getting Wanli's permission, Guo Dan immediately prepared, although the establishment of the education fund was forced, he did not have this plan in advance, and in fact did not reach that step, but Guo Dan actually attached great importance to it, because it involved a talent problem.
Regarding this, in fact, Guo Dan has long been aware of it.
In fact, Confucianism is not unsuitable for business, Confucianism is an idea that embraces all rivers, and it itself has a set of self-improvement system, which is also the reason for the longevity of Confucianism.
The problem is that on the technical level, Confucianism does not provide the corresponding technology for business, which is actually the biggest flaw of Confucianism, or regret, it does not have the motivation to stimulate human creation.
This is actually a dilemma faced by the Ming Dynasty, in the middle and late stages, everyone is using etiquette and morality to govern the country, and there is a lack of technical support.
Daming itself has this problem, so it can't hope for the national system, and if you want to get technical talents, you can only train yourself.
This morning, Guo Dan and Chen Fangyuan came to a temple called Jinggu Temple in the eastern suburbs.
This is actually Cao Xiaodong's alma mater.
The location of this Jinggu Temple is not too remote, and the scale is actually not very small, but the flow of people is still relatively small, and it cannot be compared with those big temples at all, Chen Fangyuan can be said to be the biggest patron here.
And in charge of Jinggu Temple is an abbot named Huiming, an old monk about fifty years old, with a snow-white goatee, kind eyebrows, and ears hanging down his shoulders. He saw that Chen Fangyuan, the big financier, was here, and naturally he was hospitable.
But at the same time, he also noticed Guo Dan, after all, now Guo Dan is surrounded by four internal guards, and this card is really on another ladder.
After some introduction, Abbot Huiming knew that this young man was the legendary son-in-law of the Kou family.
Now the son-in-law of the Kou family is already famous in the capital, no one knows, no one knows, it's not that Guo Dan has done anything earth-shattering, just because this contrast is too big, so everyone talks about it.
This is a big financier, where does Huiming dare to slack off, and directly go to the right wing of their backyard.
Although this was Guo Dan's first time seeing Abbot Huiming, he had already asked Cao Xiaodong about them, and he also knew something about Huiming, knowing that this old monk was not the kind of treacherous person, he was more sincere.
At the beginning, of course, Huiming was willing to teach Cao Xiaodong and them because of Chen Fangyuan's share, but he also did his best, and did not say that because Cao Xiaodong was born as a little beggar, he was perfunctory, and he was worthy of every tael of silver donated by Chen Fangyuan.
It is precisely because of this that Guo Dan found this Huiming.
After the greetings, Guo Dan had a further understanding of Huiming, he was a very wise monk, although he did not mention half of the Dharma, and his words were also very secular, but there were some Buddhist principles between his words.
"Don't hide it from the abbot, in fact, I have long wanted to come here for Xiaodong and them, thank the abbot for his education, but I haven't been able to come out, here is a little meaning, not a tribute."
As a businessman's opening remarks, that is to shine money.
This small money is vulgar, and big money is a courtesy.
Directly send five hundred taels first.
Compared to this, Chen Fangyuan is very small, he usually donates a few dozen taels once he comes back, this money is actually a lot, but Guo Dan is five hundred taels as soon as he makes a move.
Huiming stood up directly and performed the Buddha salute: "Amitabha, the donor is generous, the poor monk is deserved, in fact, Xiaodong they have a lot of wisdom roots, and they are also very close to the poor monks, and getting along with them has also benefited the poor monks a lot." ”
Guo Dan also stood up, returned a salute, and said with a smile: "Xiaodong they are indeed lovely, but no matter how good the flower seedlings are, they also need the careful irrigation of the gardener to thrive. ”
After some pretense of resignation, Huiming also accepted the five hundred taels, they Jinggu Temple does not have much land, how much believers donate, that is directly affecting their livelihood, five hundred taels for Jinggu Temple, but a huge amount of money, how can it be pushed out.
After the money was in place, Guo Dan began to talk about business, and said: "In fact, when I helped Xiaodong and them at the beginning, it was also by chance, I never thought that I would get such a reward, which shows that this good person still has a good reward." ”
"Amitabha, this good is rewarded with good, evil is rewarded with evil, and the donor is ...... to help everyone." Huiming hurriedly sent it to the Buddhist family.
"The abbot has won the prize."
Guo smiled lightly: "I think so, I can help people, but also help myself, why not continue, I appreciate the abbot's education very much, I hope to continue to cooperate with the abbot, I don't know what the abbot wants?" ”
Hui Ming immediately said: "How can the poor monk refuse this good deed, if the donor has a place where the poor monk is needed, he can give instructions, and the poor monk will do his best." ”
That's the magic of money.
Guo Dan said: "I can't hide it, I plan to help more children become talented this time, and I will take out 50,000 taels to ...... then." ”
"Ahem, cough, ---!"
Hui Ming suddenly coughed heavily.
"Abbot, are you alright?"
"Thank you for your concern, the poor monk is fine, it's okay. Amitabha. When he saluted, Huiming's hands were trembling.
Fifty thousand taels?
Did the Buddha manifest himself?
Guo Dan changed his words and said: "But Jinggu Temple is only afraid that it will be difficult to accommodate so many people, so I will donate more temples to let them participate in it, but because I am entangled in mundane affairs, I am afraid it will be difficult to take care of it, so I want to establish a temple alliance, and the abbot will be the leader of this alliance to take care of this aspect of affairs." ”
Hui Ming was dumbfounded.
This is the rhythm of fame and fortune!
Set up a temple alliance, and let him be the leader of the alliance, that doesn't all have to listen to him.
This......
If he had to maintain the abbot's demeanor, he would have to slap his thighs.
It's a little scarier than a dream.
Although this Huiming is not the kind of treacherous person, but in the face of such a big temptation, he will refuse to be stupid.
It was gladly agreed.
The two sides soon reached a verbal agreement.
After talking for a while, Guo Dan got up to say goodbye, and Huiming was personally sent to the bottom of the mountain.
"Abbot, please stay."
Guo Dan bowed his hand and said: "Abbot, I am a businessman after all, some words are too straightforward, don't blame the abbot." ”
"The donor has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it." Hui Ming said immediately.
Guo Dan said: "If Xiaodong they have gained a firm foothold in the business world, I believe that many children will always be like Xiaodong and them, appreciated by those rich businessmen, and then those rich businessmen will naturally know their gratitude, if all the rich businessmen in the capital come to your temple to burn incense and worship the Buddha, I think it is not difficult for your temple to become the largest temple in the capital." ”
Rao is living this age to be wise, and at this moment, he can't help but be stunned.
Chen Fangyuan smiled and said: "Abbot, my virtuous nephew said that your temple is second to none, then there will be no mistake,"
Maybe you don't have to wait until those children finish their studies, Guo Dan threw money here, Zhou Feng, can they not come here to lose a few sticks of incense? You know, it's Marseille's money, and they don't want to mix in Marseille.
"Ahh Thank you, Amitabha. ”
Abbot Huiming was already excited that the preface did not match the afterword.
"Farewell."
"Donor walks slowly."
After Guo Dan left, Huiming immediately broke down emotionally and shed two lines of tears, which can be regarded as surviving.
Over there, Guo Dan and Chen Fangyuan got into the carriage, and Chen Fangyuan smiled: "Virtuous nephew, believe it or not, Huiming will definitely not be able to sleep tonight." ”
Guo Danfeng said lightly: "Whoever wants to give me a few million taels, I will not be able to sleep, this is human nature." ”
Millions of taels? The emperor will not be able to sleep either. Chen Fangyuan muttered to himself, and said: "But virtuous nephew, you really played a lot this time, tens of thousands of taels, tsk, there is no academy in the world that has such financial resources." ”
Guo Dan just smiled slightly, and asked again, "Xiaodong, how are they going over there?" ”
Chen Fangyuan hurriedly said: "The temples and Taoist temples inside and outside the capital, they have already gone to investigate, and they are still being evaluated, and I believe that the results will be available soon." ”
Although Guo Dan said it lightly, no matter what kind of investment, he is very cautious, and the money he throws out, even if he does good deeds, is also obtained with interest attributes.
However, not every temple or Taoist temple can receive a donation from the education fund, and several conditions must be met.
First of all, it is not too rich, it is better to be the kind of temple that is relatively poor and needs money, so that money can call the shots.
Secondly, there must be a certain talent reserve in the temple, and if everyone is illiterate, then teach a ball.
Finally, the temple must have a certain scale, or once glorious, in short, at least a few houses for teaching, and those small temples that are only one room will have to destroy themselves.
It can be seen that Guo Dan is really not doing good deeds.
Soon, Nobuyuki handed over a list of forty-three in total, of which 30 were temples and 13 were Taoist temples, because there were more temples than Taoist temples, and the size of temples was more suitable for education than Taoist temples.
But Guo Dan still made an appointment in two groups, because Taoism and Buddhism have deep grievances, and forcibly pinching them together will only backfire.
Not only that, Guo Dan also sowed discord in the middle.
For him, he doesn't lean towards any one, he wants talent, he needs to compete on both sides.
Whether Taoism is strong or Buddhism is strong, in terms of education, there are different levels.
The two sides talked very happily, because everyone knew that Guo Dan was ready to throw out 50,000 taels, and Marseille would continue to donate in the future, this is an iron rice bowl, of course, they tried their best to fight, for Guo Dan's request, they all agreed without thinking, you said to establish a temple alliance, then set up a temple alliance.
Rich is dad.
Whether it is the Buddha or God, they all need to spend money, burning incense here, and atonement scrolls there.
It's just that on the temple side, it has been determined that Huiming will be the leader of the alliance, and on the Taoist temple, the alliance leader has not been elected for the time being, Guo Dan means that whoever does a good job in the first year will be the leader of the alliance, and will also give a bounty.
A capitalist style.
After everything was ready, Guo Dan announced the establishment of an education fund in the name of Marseille, and at the same time annexed the charity left by the original Three Musketeers, that is, he specially donated to go to Beijing to catch up with some poor candidates.
