Chapter 1376 Helan Stone

Su You dismounted: "Your command will drive the horses to Keyimun, where there are hundreds of carts, all for you." In the future, you can organize caravans, pull salt to Xingzhou, sell it, buy goods, and sell it to the Tatars, which is a good livelihood for the tribe. ”

Renduo Baozhong took the initiative to take the reins of the horse for Su You: "We won't do business." ”

Su You said: "It's okay, when the time comes, I will send a merchant group who is proficient in commerce to help you, you just need to protect them and the goods, and be responsible for transportation." ”

Rindo nodded his head: "Then we can do a good job." ”

Su You smiled: "How do the great monk and your daughter-in-law get along?" ”

Renduo Baozhong smiled bitterly: "Chai Ying had a big temper when she was pregnant with a child, but the child was much better when she was born. The Living Buddha gave Chagomo a roof, saying that he would become an eagle on the steppe in the future. ”

Su You nodded: "Let's go, go see them." ”

The Great Trap Valley is a huge grassland, the mountains on both sides of the big pass of Helan are full of dense forests, countless clear springs flow down from the two mountains, moisten the abundant water and grass, and then merge into a small river, from the Keyi Gate into the Yellow River.

The most in the forest are deer, and Yuan Hao loved to hunt here.

The scenery here is very beautiful, not far from the north entrance, there is a large temple, the temple has two party-style white pagodas, there is the twin pagoda temple.

On one side of the Shuangta Temple, there is a huge Xia Zhuxing Palace, it is a pity to completely demolish it, Su You asked Zhao Ji, Zhao Ji agreed to let Liang Chaiying wait to give birth here, and then allocated it to the Shuangta Temple as a temple property, which is a donation from the Zhao and Song royal families to Buddhism.

This operation can be, more cost-effective than building a large Xiangguo Temple, the main hall as a Buddha hall dedicated to the Buddha, it is not considered a violation, just change the signboards everywhere.

I heard that Zhao Ji personally wrote the plaque of "building a large twin pagoda temple" and sent it over, and the queen mother and the queen also rewarded half a pair of flowers for Luanyi, as a way to repair the temple, build a Buddha statue, and purchase scriptures, which is still on the way.

Sima Guang also wrote against this, believing that worshipping Buddha was not the way to the prosperity of the country, and the Xia Kingdom was defeated, and worshipping Buddha was also a major reason.

However, the Queen Mother and Zhao Ji ignored him, and Su You was not ready to deal with him, Buddhism played a great role in the education of the Xia Kingdom, and now it is much stronger than Confucianism, so you can only take your time.

In the future, it will be the largest temple in Ningxia Sanlu, and it will also become a holy place in the hearts of northern believers, and it is an important weapon for Su You to prepare to subdue the Tatars.

The red-clothed monk personally came to the bottom of the hill to greet Su You: "Yixi Weishe really has great power, and the re-glory of the Dunhuang Buddha treasure is a grand event of my religion, and the monk is very grateful." ”

Su You said with a smile: "Don't blame the great monk for opening the Buddha cave, those things are still in Xingqing Mansion, and they will be sent to you later, by the way, is the great monk proficient in foreign languages?" ”

"What...... What foreign language? ”

"Ah, in addition to Chinese, there are many scriptures in Tubo, Khotanese, Qiuzi, Turkic, Uighur, Sanskrit, Sogdian, and Tangut languages, and I estimate that most of them are related to Buddhist scriptures, but there is a lack of proficient translators in their hands."

Guido Gyaltsen said: "It doesn't matter, just leave it to me, I will be in Tangut, Tibet, Khotan, Uighur, Sanskrit, and even if you are not proficient in other languages, you can find monks who are proficient." ”

"That's good." Su You looked at the majestic palace on the hillside: "Fortunately, it wasn't demolished, otherwise where would I go to find such a good library for you?" ”

Guido Gyaltsen once again said, "Yeshe Wisha has great merit. ”

Su You smiled: "Let's go, take a look at Brother Cha, and then ask the master to take me on a tour." I don't know if you succeeded in reforming Mrs. Liang. ”

Guido Gyaltsen also smiled: "Yeshe Waisha, you have to believe in the greatness of the Dharma. ”

"From a Confucian point of view......" Su You shook his head: "I believe in the greatness of maternal love more." ”

Untied two large packages from behind the horse's buttocks, and handed them to Rindo Baozhong: "Carry, these are gifts for children." ”

The three of them went up the mountain all the way, and Su You entered the temple and found that there were three or four hundred monks.

Liang Chai Ying is not here.

Renduo Baozhong was a little embarrassed: "Chasing Ying is afraid that you will take the child away......"

"Hehehe......" Su You sneered: "She thinks so much, if it is a girl, it is possible, after all, my colander is still short of a daughter-in-law, and one bear boy is enough, two are too many." ”

"Yixi Weishe is really powerful, and Chaiying has not allowed him to say it, but you also know that it is a male baby?"

“……”

The boy who is a few months old is actually very cute, and he has not yet learned to be naughty.

Liang Chai Ying looked good, Su You had a feeling that in her heart, this was her first child.

Poor Qianshun......

Looking at Liang Chaiying, who was still a little nervous, Su You said: "You should go to Xingqing Mansion, Yiduo has prepared a house for you, and in the future, your husband will go to the city to sell things, and you will have to take care of the account books." ”

"The rules still have to be said, you can bring this child to the age of four, and then you have to send it to Chaojiedu, and he will teach Chago Kaimeng."

"That's all I can do, and that's my biggest concession. After the age of twelve, whether Brother Cha stays in Ningxia or goes to Bianjing depends on His Majesty's will, and even I can't intervene. ”

Liang Chaiying's tears fell suddenly: "Thank you, Yixi Weishe......"

Su You said: "The days are still long, there is always a way, come on, let's take a look at what I brought to the child first." ”

Things are very miscellaneous, in fact, they are not very valuable, that is, fine cotton underwear, diapers, socks, cotton jackets, small quilts, small wooden bowls, small soft spoons, hose feeders, small nail clippers, nasal aspirators, rattles, etc.

There are also two thermometers, one for the child's temperature and one for the room temperature.

Some Liang Chai Ying can't use it, and Su You has to teach her.

Now these things have only been popular in the Great Song Dynasty for a few years, and they are not only novel, but also very easy to use.

After teaching almost, Su You went out to find Renduo Baozhong: "You go and ask your subordinates, have you ever seen a kind of stone, very delicate, just like Brother Cha's face to the touch, the bottom is dark purple, and there are bean-green dots or patterns on it." ”

Rinda Hozhong thought it was strange: "Stone? ”

Su You said: "Just ask, you often herd sheep, especially children, you should know." ”

It didn't take long for Rindo Baozhong to come with an eleven or twelve-year-old child: "Dorjee said that he had seen it, and in the ravine behind the mountain, he was very quick to ride a horse. ”

Su You said: "Then let's go and have a look." ”

The children of the party can basically ride horses, Cheng Yue led a horse to let him lead the way, and after a while, he came to a valley.

Dorjee pointed to the mountain and said a few words, Su You could roughly understand, saying that the stone was on the mountain.

Then Dorjee jumped off his horse, ran to the bottom of a cliff, picked up a stone, and said a few words on the mountain, which probably meant that the stones on the mountain often rolled down, and the one in his hand was.

Su You beckoned him to come back with the stone, took it and looked at it, rubbed it, then took off the kettle, looked at it again with water, handed it to Zhang Qi, and said with a smile: "Little Seventh Brother, this year's New Year's goods are available." ”

Zhang Qi took it and rubbed it once, and also smiled: "Mr. Big, they have to be hungry again." ”

Su You said: "It's a pity that there are no good craftsmen, why don't you find a few jade workers from Xikun to try?" ”

Nowadays, the jade carving technology in the Western Regions and Central Asia is also very exquisite, and before the development of Su You's pedal carving pen, it even surpassed the Great Song Dynasty in many aspects.

Historically, it was not until the Yuan Dynasty that Kublai Khan brought back a large number of jade carving craftsmen from Central Asia, so that the Central Plains carvers went to a higher level, and then until the Qing Dynasty, the jade carving process of Hindustan was the top. ”

The stone in Su You's hand is not jade, but it is also a good thing.

Helan stone is still unknown now, but it is as famous as the end stone of Duan Yan in later generations.

In addition to the rapid inking, no depression, and durability, Helan inkstone also has a magical characteristic, that is, if it is equipped with a lid, it can be like a sealer, known as "storing ink for three days".

Zhang Qi said with a smile: "The young master can really find treasures everywhere, strange stones can be found in the Devil's City, agate can be found on the Gobi Desert, and inkstones can be found here." Xikun jade craftsmanship is good, but they are all barbarian colors, and you have to find Li Gong to design it. ”

Su You put the stone in his bag: "Yes, this trip is worth it." ”

Then he smiled and said to Xiao Dorjee in Tubo dialect: "Thank you Dorjee, for bringing us, that horse, your gift." ”

Duoji couldn't believe it, this horse was nothing, but the full set of cowhide brass harness of the Song people was very valuable in the Fan tribe.

Renduo Baozhong scolded: "This stupid Duoji, don't hurry up and thank you!" ”
