Chapter 125: Knowing the Reason
"I've heard of it! Master Rujing, let's talk about it! Does this truth have anything to do with the problems encountered in Qixia Temple now? Some of the anxious monks immediately began to shout.
"Of course it has something to do with it, think about it, the situation in Qixia Temple has been maintained for at least decades!" In fact, this is Zhu Chongba's speculation, after all, Dayuan has only been a few decades now!
"Yes! Many years! At this time, an elderly monk finally spoke, because Zhu Chongba's words suddenly made him refreshed, because those things in the past were related to his dreams.
When this monk was young, he had to become a monk because of something happened at home, but it turned out that this monk was a scholar, but the number of people admitted to the imperial examination in the Great Yuan Dynasty was too small.
According to historical records, since Yuan Renzong issued an edict to resume the imperial examination, a total of 16 imperial examinations were held in the entire Yuan Dynasty, and a total of 1,139 people were admitted to the Jinshi.
When this monk was young, he also wanted to stand up through the imperial examination, but at that time, the prime minister of the Great Yuan Dynasty, Boyan, abolished his power and abolished the imperial examination for two consecutive years. Come to think of it, the imperial examination is only held once every three years.
At that time, this young scholar became a monk in a fit of rage, and until today, decades have passed.
"By the way, there's something you've all heard about in history? It's the Shang Martingale Change! Zhu Chongba said this and glanced at everyone.
"I've heard of it! I heard what the storyteller said! ”
"It's good to have heard of it! In fact, some of the principles of governing the country and governing the monasteries are the same. If a country wants to be rich and strong, it needs people to be diligent in production, and the same is true for a temple, which also needs to be diligent in production and increase wealth! When Zhu Chongba said this, he was observing everyone's reactions very carefully.
Because the following is a very important issue that Zhu Chongba wants to talk about, because if everyone agrees with the matter he talked about below, for Zhu Chongba, this time he assisted the abbot of Qixia Temple, and he has already succeeded halfway.
If a person agrees with your idea from the heart, he will definitely actively cooperate with him when you ask him to do something, and he will not have other ideas.
Zhu Chongba attaches great importance to this point, in Huangjue Temple, Zhu Chongba is like this for those monks, or the old abbot, although Zhu Chongba has different methods for Huangjue Temple, but these are specific problems, specific analysis.
For Qixia Temple, the problems here are different from those of Huangjue Temple, so Zhu Chongba needs to take a different approach, which is to adapt measures to local conditions, if Zhu Chongba ignores the actual situation here, insists on copying what Zhu Chongba did in Huangjue Temple, maybe it will succeed, maybe it will fail.
In Huangjue Temple, Zhu Chongba vigorously developed fertilizer, seeds and other businesses, because there were not rich rural areas around, and Zhu Chongba had to do this.
Qixia Temple is different here, although there are vast rural areas near Jinling, but Jinling is a city, and it is an important big city located along the Yangtze River.
Something more powerful can be done here, so why stare at the fertilizer? Of course, if the fertilizer or other Zhu Chongba's invention here can be sold for a large price, Zhu Chongba will certainly not miss such an opportunity.
After waiting for a long time, a monk spoke, "Yes! Although we are monks, we also need to eat and dress, and we are also human beings! ”
No one has said this before, nor have they thought about it, but since someone has said it, it will make everyone think about it.
At this time, Zhu Chongba began to strike while the iron was hot, "What this master said is very right, we are also human beings, in fact, at the beginning, monks were also engaged in production like ordinary people, but many years ago, there was an emperor who stipulated that monks were not allowed to produce, so it has been passed on to the present." Don't you think this is a bit ridiculous? ”
"Yes! We are monks, how can we listen to the words of those emperors! We should listen to ourselves, to the words of the Buddha! ”
"By the way, did the Buddha say that we were not allowed to engage in production? Being a monk and engaging in production are two different things, aren't they? Zhu Chongba said again.
In this way, Zhu Chongba slowly liberated everyone's minds through such a conversation, and everyone's thoughts slowly became consistent.
"In fact, we just imprisoned our own thoughts, so that we didn't see our own strength, and now we are on the Yangtze River, we can do business! Think about it, when there is more money in Qixia Temple, everyone's food and clothing can go to a new level. By the way, I also have delicious vegetarian dishes, which I can provide for everyone to taste when the time comes. Zhu Chongba slowly said his thoughts.
Because there was so much foreshadowing, now everyone feels that this matter is also acceptable, if Zhu Chongba didn't say so many things before, and suddenly said the current truth, it is estimated that nine out of ten monks will oppose Master Rujing.
If everybody is against that, think about it, is there any need to do it?
This is Zhu Chongba's cleverness, and it is also Zhu Chongba's cleverness, in fact, in Zhu Chongba's view, no matter what you do, no matter who you let do, as long as you can think about what they think and be anxious about what they are anxious about, then they will definitely listen to you.
"I've eaten delicious vegetarian dishes and sweet watermelon in Huangjue Temple, and it feels so good, people in Huangjue Temple can make the food so delicious, why can't we?"
At this time, Zhu Chongba found that there were other signs, and he must not be infighting, he must be calm.
"The reason why the food made by Huangjue Temple is so delicious is because I have a recipe, and I will tell the monks of the hall the recipe later, so that I believe everyone will be able to eat delicious vegetarian dishes soon!" Zhu Chongba said loudly.
"Really? Master Rujing must be a man of his word! ”
"That's right! Talk the talk! ”
"I mean what I say! So will people listen to me in the future? Zhu Chongba was very solemn when he said this, because important things are like this, and there can be no ambiguity.
This kind of thing is the biggest thing, there is one to say one, and there is two to say. No ambiguity.
In fact, this is also Zhu Chongba's experience as a leader, and he must have a clear attitude and not be ambiguous.
"I like to eat delicious vegetarian food!" At this time, a little monk came out of nowhere, and suddenly said something with a child's voice.
