In the morning, the noble ladies of Chang'an City raised donations for the people and soldiers affected by the disaster in Liaodong in Chang'an City, and the news spread all over Chang'an and its surroundings.

In the face of such a scene, the reactions of all parties are also different, behind these noble ladies, they are all dignitaries and dignitaries in Chang'an City, and they can't be offended, and the court is very happy to see this kind of scene, what does this mean, it shows that my Tang Dynasty is kind and united, and it is in response to Xuan Shijing's words, one side is in trouble and all sides support.

Chang'an, a suburb of the western city, Guiyuan Temple.

Guiyuan Temple was the earliest palace of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Guang had come here to shoot and hunt, and then stayed here, and it was changed to a temple during the Tang Wude period.

Guiyuan Temple covers an area of more than 100 acres, hundreds of halls, pines and cypresses reach to the sky, magnificent, incense is vigorous, the masses of worshippers in a radius of 100 miles are endless, therefore, Guiyuan Temple is also the most famous Buddhist temple in dozens of prefectures and counties around Chang'an. There are three rooms of the reclining Buddha hall in the temple, the door bar is very tall, there is a reclining Buddha in the house vividly, the people of Fangyuan call "Xu Village Sleeping Buddha", "Sleeping Sleeping Lord". There is the Bodhisattva Hall in the east, the Garan Hall in the west, and the eighteen Arhat Hall, the east and west wings and the second floor of the bell and drum.

In the backyard of Guiyuan Temple, Yuan Jue, who was in charge of handling the pilgrims in the front yard, walked to the door of the abbot's room, stretched out his hand, and gently knocked on the door of the abbot's room.

"Come in." An old voice came from the abbot's room.

Yuan Jue gently pushed open the door, walked into the abbot's room, and folded his hands: "Senior brother abbot." ”

"What?" Abbot Yuanhui half-closed his eyes and asked indifferently.

"The catastrophe in Liaodong, many officials and wives in Chang'an City have set up sheds in the city to raise donations, is my temple also" Yuan Jue looked at Yuan Hui and asked.

"My Buddha is compassionate, even if my brother lets it go, just do it."

"Amitabha Buddha is like this, then I will ask the disciples in the temple to pack up the materials and send them to the Jinyang Chamber of Commerce" Yuan Jue clasped his hands together, bowed to Yuan Hui, and left the abbot's room.

When Yuan Hui came to the front yard, he saw that there were still many pilgrims worshipping sincerely, so he beckoned and called the little novice over to him.

"What do you command?" After seeing Yuanhui, Xiao Shami bowed and asked.

"Tell the disciples in the temple to take thousands of copper coins, 100 deniers of grain, and 100 horses of linen from the treasury, and send them to the Jinyang Chamber of Commerce to support Liaodong." Yuan Hui commanded.

"Yes."

Many pilgrims present heard Yuanhui's words, and after hearing that Guiyuan Temple was going to aid Liaodong, they respected the masters of Guiyuan Temple even more, and originally donated a lot of sesame oil money, and donated twice as much.

When Xuan Shijing, who was sitting in Xuanwu's arms, heard the supplies sent by Guiyuan Temple, he was stunned for a while, and then turned his head to look at Jinyang: "Son, Guiyuan Temple, is it a Buddhist temple?" ”

Jin Yang nodded: "Yes, by the way, Brother Jing may not know, this Guiyuan Temple is a palace of the former Sui Sui Emperor Yang Emperor, and later after the emperor's grandfather ascended the throne, it was changed to a Buddhist temple, originally as the palace of the Sui Yang Emperor, the building is brilliant, after more than 20 years, it seems to have become the head of the temples in Chang'an and the surrounding areas." ”

"This surprised me, but I didn't expect the temple to follow suit." Xuan Shijing touched his chin and said with a smile.

"Of course, aiding Liaodong is a good act, and this kind of thing is placed in the Buddhist family, so it is also a good thing." Jin Yang said as a matter of course: "But I think that the little thing that Guiyuan Temple took out is a bit less." ”

"Hmm" Xuan Shijing nodded thoughtfully, Guiyuan Temple, as the largest temple in Chang'an and its surroundings, naturally has a lot of good men and women, and of course the income is considerable, but the temple does not have to pay taxes, that is to say, the oil and water in the pockets of these monks are very full.

"I had a fief when I was three years old, and I heard my father say that in order to pray for me to grow up healthily, all the proceeds of my fief for three years were donated to Guiyuan Temple," Jin Yang said with his chin on his chin chin in his hand.

"Three years of earnings!!" Xuan Shijing was dumbfounded, even the royal family was so generous to the temple, not to mention those princes and ministers in Chang'an City

Xuan Shijing touched his chin, it seems that the squeezing space of this Guiyuan Temple is still very large.

"Son, what is the relationship between Buddhism and Taoism in Chang'an City?"

"This still needs to be asked, just like the relationship between two grocery stores across the door on a street in the West Market"

Although Jinyang's description is a bit vulgar, it is very appropriate.

"That's it," Xuan Shijing touched his chin and thought, "In this way, shouldn't the Daomen also take action?" ”

"What Brother Jing means is that the Daomen will compete with the Buddha Sect in this matter, so that we can benefit from the fisherman." Jin Yang said.

"That's right, even if the two families know that this is a set in the end, but they still have to go on it, after all, this is related to the image of Buddha and Tao in the eyes of the people of Chang'an City." Xuan Shijing smiled: "Let's go, go down and find the pile of money, I have to explain this matter to him." ”

"Hmm."

went downstairs, Qian Dui sat at the counter on the first floor of Xuanwu's arms and looked at the account book, and when he saw Xuan Shijing coming down, he hurriedly got up to greet him.

"Master Hou."

"Pile of money, have all the things sent by Guiyuan Temple just now been put in place?" Xuan Shijing asked.

"It's been put away, Master Hou, do you want to find someone to send a message to the Daomen?" Qian Dui asked.

"You're smart, I'm here to tell you about this, since you think about it, then you can look at the arrangement, now the princess and I will go to Yanlai Tower first to see how the preparations are going over there, Xuanwu hugs this side, just take care of it by you and Long'er, be sure to increase the number of people to take care of it, don't make a trace of omission."

"Yes." The money pile answered.

Now all the materials are gathered in Xuanwu, just cash, it is not a small amount, naturally it is necessary to take strict precautions to prevent the night from being small.

"By the way, Master Hou, the matter of medicinal materials" Qian Dui hesitated to say the question: "Do you want us to send someone to Luoyang to talk to His Royal Highness King Wei?" ”

"Yes, quickly send people out, expedited, from Luoyang to the towns along the way in Liaodong, before the news comes out, step up the purchase of medicinal materials, as for Chang'an, I think, someone in the court must have leaked the news to the medicinal material merchants in Chang'an, otherwise, they will definitely not get the news so quickly, since there are people behind them, it is not worth wasting time in Chang'an." Xuan Shijing said.

"Yes, the little one understands." Qian Dui said.

What his own Hou Ye said is right, since there are people behind them, now at this juncture, there is no need to compare with them, it is not only the medicinal material merchants in Chang'an City who sell medicinal materials, as long as the news does not spread, it is still easy to buy medicinal materials from other places.

Moreover, medicinal materials can also be transported to Liaodong in batches. (To be continued.) )
