Chapter 339: Laughing at the common people
Li Jun hasn't visited Chang'an City for a long time, according to the report of the Supervision Guard, anyway, now Datang is Guotai Min'an, but seeing is believing, hearing is false, Li Jun still decided to take a look in person.
If you want to say that Chang'an City is the most lively, everyone will definitely recommend the East and West Cities and Pingkangfang, which are the goods distribution centers of Chang'an, and Pingkangfang is the red light district of Chang'an City.
But Li Jun didn't choose here, the place where Li Jun went was Zhaoguofang, which was the poorest workshop in Chang'an before, and later Shaofu opened a government-run ironware workshop here, which changed the poor and backward environment here.
When Li Jun went, it was noon, at this time Zhaoguofang was very lively, many businessmen lined up here to buy ironware, since the salt and iron officialization, every day here is very lively, it is said that the people here will get rich as long as they are not stupid, take advantage of the east wind of the iron workshop, do some small business, can feed a family.
The people next to him looked brightly dressed, and there was no food on their faces, but Li Jun looked at the dilapidated temple in front of him, but he didn't know what to say?
It is said that in a wealthy market, there should not be such a broken temple, the name of this temple is Daxiangguo Temple, hearing this thunderous name, Li Jun felt that he should go in and have a look.
The dilapidated temple, the poor monks, standing outside the temple gate in the cold weather, the monks generally call themselves poor monks, the master headed by is really poor, a gray monk's robe is put on the body, the bald head is frozen blue on the cold day, followed by several senior monks, really thin and tall, the clothes are decorated with patches, and the hands are folded to salute the Three Treasures.
When Li Jun stepped forward to salute, several poor monks were so cold that their lips trembled, and they couldn't even say a sentence of Nan Wu Amitabha Buddha.
Seeing this, Li Jun hurriedly put two golden mules into the merit box, and the master led by him hurriedly saluted and said: "Your nobleman, please come inside, old man Lingyin, you will definitely do a complete set of Dharma for your nobleman, I don't know what you want to ask for?" ”
Li Jun waved his hand and said, "Forget it, you won't be in inside, Master Lingyin, let's just talk about it outside." ”
"Noble people don't believe in gods and Buddhas?" Monk Lingyin asked with a pleasant face.
Li Jun laughed and said: "No, I think that the gods and Buddhas are actually changed by people, so it is better to believe in them, it is better to believe in the people in this world, just like these people, as long as the government trusts them enough, they will give you a lot of rewards." ”
"The old man is disrespectful, it seems that the identity of the noble person is not ordinary." Monk Lingyin clasped his hands together and said.
Li Jun shook his head and said: "The master just treats me as an ordinary person, there is something unclear below, please ask the master to solve the doubts." ”
"Your Excellency, please speak."
"The master of this great Xiangguo Temple is opened in the middle of the downtown of Zhaoguofang, just now the people who looked down around still respect the master, but why did the master make the temple so desolate? This doesn't match the identity of a master. ”
"Haha, the noble man said that the old man believes that as long as he is sincere to the Buddha, no matter what kind of supply, the Buddha will accept it, and it doesn't matter if there is any gold, silver and jewelry." The old monk laughed.
Li Jun smiled: "It seems that the master didn't tell the truth, since the master has something unspeakable, then forget it if you don't say it, and say goodbye." After saying that, Li Jun led people away, looking at the back of Li Jun leaving, Ling Yin suddenly had a very bad premonition in his heart.
After leaving Zhaoguofang, Li Jun found a teahouse and went in, ordered a pot of good tea, Li Jun drank it and spit it out, seeing that everyone was looking at him angrily, Li Jun was suddenly a little embarrassed, and hurriedly arched his hand around, which was considered sorry.
Seeing this, Liu Hong hurriedly took out the good tea that Li Jun usually drank from his arms and handed it to the store, who was also knowledgeable, and knew at a glance that this was the latest Longjing before the rain, and the people who could afford this kind of tea were either rich or expensive, so the store was more careful to serve.
There is a storyteller in the teahouse today, and the hero of today's story is Wan Yankang, Li Jun also listened to it with relish, but he also secretly scolded Wan Yankang in his heart, because the heavy snow reduced Chang'an's grain production by three percent this year.
Before he knew it, Li Jun had finished drinking a pot of tea, when a man in black came to Liu Hong, arched his hand to Liu Hong, and then handed a letter to Liu Hong.
Liu Hong put away the letter without a trace, and then whispered in Li Jun's ear: "Your Majesty, the people of the Imperial City Division have found out that there is no adultery in the Great Xiangguo Temple, and the reason why it is so poor is because there is a monk named Faxiang in their temple, who is going to Tianzhu to seek the true scriptures, so the old monk Lingyin will give all his income to the Faxiang monk. ”
As soon as Liu Hong said this, Li Jun also understood that Tianzhu was the India of later generations, and now there are two ways to go from Datang to India, one is from Liangzhou in Datang, through the Western Regions and Central Asia to India; Another way is to start from Datang Guizhou and arrive through the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
Li Jun hoped that the Faxiang monk could take the first path like the Tang Sanzang in later generations, because the main target of the Tang Dynasty in the future was in the Western Regions and Central Asia.
So Li Jun immediately hand-drew a map on a piece of paper and handed it to Liu Hongdao: "Send someone to the old monk Lingyin to send it over, and donate ten gold coins to the Great Xiangguo Temple on behalf of me." ”
"No, the old slave obeys."
After drinking tea for a while, Li Jun felt that it was not interesting, so he left, this time Li Jun's target was Yuchun Building, the name of Yuchun Building has become famous all over the world, this is no longer a green building, but more like a star packaging company in later generations, all the Oiran will come to Yuchun Building before their debut, and then after becoming famous from Yuchun Building, their value suddenly skyrocketed.
As the name suggests, the red light district is a street, Li Juncai walked for a while, and then heard a person standing on the railing of the upper floor, shouting: "I am a madman in Chu, Feng Ge laughs at Kongqiu." Hearing this poem, Li Jun was stunned for a moment, could it be that he met Li Bai here?
So Li Jun took Liu Hong directly into this green building called the Lion Building, the old bustard saw Li Jun's dress, and immediately knew that a big fat sheep was coming, so the old bustard immediately greeted him, Liu Hong pushed the old bustard aside with his arm and said: "Who made that poem just now?" My lord wants to see him. ”
The old bustard's professionalism is excellent, and he is not annoyed when he is pushed aside, and he said with a smile: "Ah, yes, what you are looking for is Xiao Cangsheng, he has no money, he wants to jump off the platform because of his debts, and he was dragged back by Hua Niang, are you his friend?" ”
Hearing this, Li Jun was immediately uninterested, but he still saw the side of the laughing Cangsheng, and learned from the mouth of the laughing Cangsheng: "The source of those two poems is the cliff carving in Gongxiu Mountain, Yuezhou, and the villagers don't know it. ”
Li Jun said angrily: "Lao Tzu usually hates plagiarism the most, Liu Hong, teach him a good lesson." ”
Liu Hong walked towards Xiao Cangsheng viciously, and after Liu Hong finished teaching people, Li Jun left a gold coin that was considered Xiao Cangsheng's medical expenses, and left with his minions.
Li Jun continued to walk forward a short distance to see the Yuchun Tower, only to see the Yuchun Tower brightly lit, like day, Li Jun suddenly became poetic, and read aloud: "The east wind blooms a thousand trees at night." More blows down, stars like rain. BMW carved cars are full of fragrance. The sound of the phoenix flute moves, the light of the jade pot turns, and the fish and dragon dance all night. Moth snow willow golden wisps. The laughter is full of dark fragrance. The crowd is looking for him thousands of times. Suddenly looking back, the man was there, and the lights were dim. ”
Li Jun's voice was very loud, and when he heard this good word, many people suddenly came out of Yuchun Building, and the scene was immediately embarrassing, because there were many court officials inside, and they all knew Li Jun, and when they saw Li Jun, they were immediately so frightened that their legs trembled.
Li Jun snorted coldly, and immediately knelt down for a large amount, the most unexpected of which was that Li Jun actually saw his father-in-law Wang Ben, and Wang Ben was already embarrassed.
Li Jun waved his hand, signaled everyone to continue playing, leave themselves alone, and left with Liu Hong and others, at this moment, Li Jun suddenly felt lonely.
That kind of loneliness is like standing on the top of a mountain alone, looking at the ordinary people in this world, and I want to roar angrily: "You are all fools." ”
It was at this time that Li Jun understood why he didn't like to be born after taking the Hidden Mountain Gate? Because this is the crushing of wisdom.
