Chapter 1405: Daming Temple

"Lord Qincha is aware that it is indeed the villain who notified them to come!"

The shopkeeper ran over in a panic and replied on his knees honestly.

Tie Zhu glanced at the shopkeeper, not surprised by this answer. He originally thought that this shopkeeper was going to do something unfavorable, but he didn't want to send Xiao Er to inform the mother and daughter to come over, so there was a scene just now.

Lin Haoran's face was slightly gloomy, and he immediately asked, "Why is this?" ”

"This is the aunt who just begged me to keep a good place for her daughter. The little one looked at the adults and the lady like fairy couples, and knew that they must not be ordinary people, so they sent the little two to inform them to come over! The shopkeeper didn't dare to hide it, and immediately replied.

"Why are you doing this? But to make a profit? Lin Haoran squinted his eyes and asked.

He can not pursue the matter of being spilled tea, but he does not intend to tolerate this kind of person or restaurant who specializes in matching the sale and sale of children. Otherwise, this kind of thing will become more and more common here.

"The adults know that the villain just thinks that their family is pitiful, so he does his best to help them, and he doesn't intend to ask for benefits from it!" The shopkeeper's face was immediately shocked, and he immediately defended himself.

Xiao Er also stood up, and immediately knelt next to the shopkeeper to testify: "Lord Qincha, my shopkeeper is sure to be a well-meaning person, and he has not done such things that violate his conscience. I am the salt who escaped from the famine, and I was also taken in by the shopkeeper, so that I would not starve to death. ”

"You're also a fugitive stove?" Lin Haoran was slightly surprised, turned his head to look at Xiao Er and asked.

Xiao Er only knew at this time that he had missed his mouth, but he sighed heavily, so he had to beg for mercy: "Yes, the villain really can't stay and escape, please be gracious!" ”

Daming's salt is naturally expensive, and salt is the most lucrative business, but all this has nothing to do with stove households. Just like the coal miners of later generations, those coal mines are certainly billions at every turn, but they are struggling at the bottom.

Especially in recent years, the imperial court wants to increase the salt tax, but the Huai salt merchants have the protection of Xu Jie and other officials, and the final spearhead is naturally directed at these stove households with no background.

It is precisely like this, in the previous complaints of Chen Boren and others, it was not all made up, the stove households of the Ming Dynasty did flee seriously, and this is a big problem for Lin Haoran to solve.

"You're not at fault, both of you get up!" Lin Haoran looked at the words and deeds of the two, and knew that the matter might not be fake, so he said lightly.

"Lord Xie Qincha!" The shopkeeper and Xiao Er saluted respectfully, but they still maintained a bent posture when they stood up.

Lin Haoran looked up at the shopkeeper, and warned seriously: "Although you are a well-intentioned act, it is not a good thing to sell your children and daughters, and you must not do such things in the future!" ”

The shopkeeper originally wanted to agree, but he still stubbornly said: "These stove households have fled here, and it is difficult for them to survive here by opening up a little thin field that has no name!" ”

"The official will find a way to do this matter, and in the future, they may be able to do some trading here to make a living, and they don't necessarily have to buy land and farm!" Lin Haoran shook his head lightly.

With the different way of thinking of the masses in this era, he is more willing to promote local industry and commerce, rather than focusing on one acre and three points of land. This Slender West Lake is so blessed that it should naturally not become a dead lake.

"Yes!" The shopkeeper didn't know what medicine Lin Haoran was selling in the gourd, but he still respectfully agreed.

After lunch, the two continued to the north, directly in the direction of Daming Temple.

The charm of Yangzhou lies not only in the water town, but also in the cultural monuments.

The name of Daming Temple is not related to this dynasty, but because this temple was built in the Southern Dynasty during the reign of Emperor Xiaowu of the Song Dynasty, so it got the name of "Daming Temple". Although the name was changed several times, this dynasty chose this name and became one of the most famous temples in the Yangzhou area.

When the two arrived at the north entrance of the West Lake, they sat on the horse road where they were prepared and walked along a road. But it was only a mile away, and the two arrived at the foot of Daming Temple.

Lin Haoran pulled Hua Yingrong up the stairs, and came to the temple gate of Daming Temple, where a Bodhi tree was hung with red silk, but there were a few believers there to answer.

When entering the main courtyard of the temple, Lin Haoran smelled a faint smell of incense in the air, although it was not as prosperous as he imagined, but the temple showed no signs of decline.

But somehow, many of the noble ladies of the Ming Dynasty believe in Buddhism.

Hua Yingrong also seems to believe in Buddhism, and when she enters here, she looks a little pious, and after worshipping the Golden Buddha in the Daxiong Treasure Hall, she donated a hundred taels of silver.

However, no matter what era it is, money tends to have more convenience, and it is better to win more thoughtful service.

When the fat monk saw a large ingot of silver, his face looked very happy, and he said Amitabha Buddha respectfully, and warmly invited: "Donor, you can enter the temple to visit!" ”

Lin Haoran was also a little interested in the situation in this ancient temple, so he nodded lightly and walked inside with Hua Yingrong. I saw that the courtyard was open, the ancient trees were towering, and the cigarette smoke was swirling, which was indeed a rare and pure place for Buddhism.

The buildings and corridors in this look antique, and I went to a courtyard, bypassed two Baoding, and went around to a Guanyin Buddha.

Hua Yingrong arrived here but was not in a hurry to leave, but she seemed to be pious and clasped her palms, knelt in front of Guanyin Buddha and made a wish, and her mouth seemed to be chanting.

Lin Haoran didn't feel this, so he left alone, walked deeper inside, and came to the front of the Scripture Pavilion. I suddenly found that there was a door on the west side of the Scripture Pavilion, so I walked inside, but it was a classical garden full of mountains and forests.

If he hadn't seen the wall in front of him, he would have thought he was outside, and there were a lot of pine trees growing here. But I saw two little monkeys playing on an ancient pine.

He looked at the little monkey and couldn't help but think of the old Xiaojin, and the wild girl who had run back to her hometown in Guangdong, but he didn't know how the wild girl was doing now? Where did you run to play wildly? Do you miss your brother?

After thinking for a while, he was about to move somewhere else, but was taken aback. He had been staring at Gu Song for a long time, and when he was about to leave, he found that an old monk with a snow-white beard was sitting on the big bluestone.
